Ijfce-Vay they came into port Wae toJajL outside and wait for a veff8fl£*folTow in its wake, so as not to hit x&y mines and be destroyed. Of eotirse this is only oue instance but we think it is going on often StanyJbase hosjAtals have been ordered /toj-by- ready to recieve French &njJyFaols\ Th is points io a driye/l Large American forces are going into the trenches and believe me, you people at home, And even we over here, do not know Anywhere near how many Boldiera^tere are here. A million would be my estimate.. Every town through the section I am in is fall of troops and also throughout the country may be seen cantonments ol men waiting and train ing to be fit to go after thre Huns. Ou my way to onr base hospital, a trip of about sixty miles through many small towns we saw soldiers everywhere, in towns and fields, the barracks being not over a mile or two apart.. It seems to be the opinion of the French that the Americans are not worth much as far as fighting is considered, but they like us for the amount of money we spend. They will be some mistaken when our boys get started, and in my opinion that time is not far away. There was an air raid on Paris the other night and it surely was a"bUnger". A Detroit friend of mine, from Harper Hospital Base Unit 17, was there and desciibed it to me. I guess The Frenck lost r a, plane in the fracas and couldn't , see tbe Huns on aoeoont of dark- \nesa. They went right over here ' AS we are only about two hours from Paris on the railroad and we £eard the planes go over.

They certainly deceive you at a distance. The Germans are in really bad condition when captnred,but Ihave seen hundreds of them and tbey are happy as larks to be working prisoners and not fighting, and they report big food riots in the large cities, which were subdued by machine gunfire killing civilians, mostly women and children. I doa't think we will see the end of the war if we depend on men and guns to finish it, but think it will end soon if a revolt gets started in the army and that is what we all look forward to.

It is with deep regret that the members of ths parish and all hia many friends not of his immediate flock, see him leave. During his pastorate here he has endeared himself to the people by his modest affability, his wise councils, his earnest devotion and his untiring zeal in their behalf. Many improvements to the ohurch have been made as a result of his efforts. The interior has been beautifully decorated and tbe exterior remodeled. To show in some small measure their appreciation of his efforts for the betterment of the parish in a material way, and of his loving counsel and guidance in spiritual affairs, the members of St. Mary's parish tendered Father Coyle an informal reception, Friday evening, March 8. at the rectory, at the same time presenting him with a purse of $300. It is the earnest wish of his parishttrrers and many friends that succeef attend his efforts im his new field of work. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss. Frank J.

Reports to hand Indicate that Western Canada has a vastly increased , acreage ready for crop This year over last year. The splendid open fall of li)17, irave a better opportunity for full plowing than for some years. Work In the fields was almost continuous until the end of November. In fact, in the neighborhood of Plncher Creek, Alberta, there was sufficient mild weather in January of this year to permit farmers to plow, and runny took advantage of it. A preat many Americans owning land in Canada moved up last year, and this has also helped to increase the acreage. They came into possession ot the land at prl<>t>* varying- from $15.00 to $30.00 , an acre, and with the proven yields of wheat running from twenty and as high as fifty bushels per acre, with a set price of $2.21 a bushel, they could join production and patriotism together with a big manrln of profit. The Post-Intelligencer of Seattle, Wash., gives a very conservative statement of the agricultural development and opportunities In Western Canada. In its issue of December 14, 1917, It says:— "Since the beginnlng of the year , American emigration Into Canada has been greatly stimulated aceording to the reports of the Dominion author!- \ ties, and has been almost entirely made i »f> of ffermtrs attracted ay th* fertile ! nn€ oaagMBitfrely cheap wheat lands. | ~~^Wfcirtever ufa? be m\& of wheat } culture as a profitable avocation In ordinary years, since the beginning of i the war It has offered advantages quite beyond the usual opportunities. War has boomed the price of wheat until rhe farmer now receives around $2 for his product nt his granary. . Average crops, according to the adaptation of soli and climate are from 12 to 25 bushels to the acre Even the minimum crop, nt $2 per bushel, brings in these war times a reasonable profit. Before the war wheat culture was fast hplng ahnndoned by farmers who worked lntelllpenfly for results on The right side of the ledger. It has been the popular crop for new countries, but when the pioneers- settled down tr, business it \v:i< generally corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farming that brought the profits. Iowa and fhe Dakotas In turn, ns their prairies became settled, mortgaged the land on wheat culture and afterwards paid off the mortgages with m m and hogs, "War Is thus bringing a temporary encouragement to wheat farming. Many of the ranchers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta laid away $20,000 to $«0,000 In the banks last fall. Tt may be pointed out, however, that the growing of wheat is not the only inducement which is loading settlement to Canadian lands. Low taxation, ; favorable agricultural climate, and.i profitable prices not only for grain but for bogs, cattle and all forms of farm produce all contribute their share toward The rapid settlement of the fertile lands of Western Canada.'"—Advertisement. HONOR CREDITED TO GERMAN John Peter Zenger First to Uphold the L i b e r t y of the Press in the United States. Fare plays curious tricks with men and things. J ' h e man who is given credit for first upholding llie liberty of the press In America was a German, »ays the Rocky Mountain News. It was Just 1S4 years ago that this man, John Peter Zenger, was brought to trial for a newspaper libel which restil'cd from newspajwr criticisms passed nn British public officials. Zenger foumled the New York Weekly Journal, the second newspaper in Ne\y York. The paper was published ih' the English language, and it made use ot very plain language. Zenger was arrested on a charge of libel and thrown into prison. For some time he edited his paper from behind the bars, but was at length released and continued to publish the paper until his death in 1746. The .prosecution of Zenger for libel was the first ca9e of the kind on this side of the Atlantic, and aroused great public excitement. When Zenger received acquittal it was considered a great victory for (he principles of free speech and a free press.

RUMANIA PAYS HIGH FOR PEACE Province of Dobrudja, as Far as the Danube, Ceded to Kaiser—Agrees to T r a n s p o r t Teuton Troops. Amsterdam- -Official announcement nas be* n made in Berlin of the signing of a peace treaty between Germany and Finland, and also of trada and shipping agreements and a supplementary protocol. Finland, by the conditions oi the treaty, agree* to cede no territory nor grant territorial rights to any foreign power without tie- previous consent o! Germany, who undertakes to exert h* r self to secure the recognition of Finland's independence by all the powers. Each party renounces compensation for war costs or damages. Fortifications of the Aland island., will be remo\e<l a s speedily as possible and regulations will be rdopted for the permanent non fortification of the islands. London—Coincident with the announcement that Leon Trotzky, bolshevik foreign minister, has resigned, come reports of a movement by the Russian social revolutionaries to overthrow the bolshevik regime, and of action by other anti-bolshevik forces looking toward the restoration of popular government in Siberia. Conclusion of peace between Russia and Rumania Is announced in a wireless dispatch from the boshevik government in Petrograd. To Trotzky, who brought about the armistice on the eastern front which resulted in the enforced peace In Russia, probably more than to any other bolshevik leader, is due the present situation in Great Russia. He was said to have cast the deciding vote*on the question whether to send delegates to Brest-Litovsk a fortnight ago. Germany in her ruthless demands shattered his program of self-determination and non-resistance, Washington—Issuance of daily lists of casualties among the expeditionary forces abroad was discontinued March 8, by the public information committee, as the result of an order of the war department, under which names of next to kin and emergency addresses ol soldiers, whose names appear on the lists, hereafter will be withheld. The official explanation is that the purpose of the order is to keep information of value from the enemy. On being informed of the order, the committee took the position that long lists of men killed or wounded would be worthless to the newspaper correspondents without addresses, and a notice was issued advising the press j that in future all information regard- ' ing casualties must be obtained , from the war department. At the adjutant-general's office it was stated the liats without addresses would continue to be sent to the committee and would be avuilable there. I While the disagreement between the committee and the department probably will be straightened out soon, so jthat "expurgated" lists may be made ! available to all who desire them, the ! purpose of the department to withhold j the addresses apparently is unalterable. I The nearest relative of every sol- Jdler killed or wounded, will be notified J by the department as heretofore. Lists, I containing simply the names of the soldiers under the heading "killed in action," "died of disease," will be sent each day to the committee on public information. To give out the lists in this shape, according to officials of the committee would bring each day a flood of requests by telephone, telegraph and mail, for specific identification of each man named in the list of the previous ! day.

Rumania Pays High for Peace. Amsterdam -A preliminary peace freaty between Rumania and the Central powers was signed March 5, sa\e a dispatch from Bucharest. Under the terms of the preliminary peace agrement, Rumania cedes the province of Dobrudja as far as the Danube to the central powers. Rumania also undertakes to further the transport of Teuton troops through Moldavia and Bessarabia to Odessa. PLAN TO SELL ALIEN PROPERTY Senate Committee Approves Disposin3 of T e u t o n H o l d i n g s in U. S. Washington -Plans to break up the rast holdings of German interests In the United States and place them in other hand*, so that after the war they cannot continue to be what have been characterized as "outposts of German kultur in America," were presented to congress by A. Mitchell Palmer, the alien property custodian, and unanimously approved by the senate appropriations committee. Mr. Palmer asked and the committer agreed, that legislation" should be attached to the ur*eot deficiency bill empowering him to sell these propoities to any private interests—but not to the United States government, the proceeds to be held in the treasury until after the war. Whether the Gtermaa owners will receive the money would be determined by the peace terms. American property ia Germany, the committee was told, ia subject to soch actio*. The value of German property suK Jee4-re- such dlspoatstloa would run into the hundreds of millions. Lansing -At a meeting with Henry Ford, members of the state war board entered into a contract for 1,000 "Fordson" farm tractors at $750 each, f. o. b. Detroit. This will make the price of the machine which the war board, through its county organization, delivers to the farmer, about $765. An accompanying deal by the war board is for "plow bottoms." These are the most important implement used in connection with the tractors. The plow bottom to be bought is two ploughshares fabricated together so as to plough two furrows 28 inches wide and eight inches deep. The magnitude of the deal while in financial figures reaching close to a million dollars, ia tremendous from the standpoint of big acreage. The Fordson tractors, according to the makers, will plow an acre an hour. With 1,000 tractors busy in the state this would mean 10.000 acres an hour, or 100,000 acres a day of 10 hours. But, as State Treasurer Odell put it to Mr. Ford, the tractors could be operated longer than 10 hours a day and the acreage plowed could rapidly mount into th millions. Mount Pleasant, Mich.—The government is soon to take over the Dow 1 Chemical works here and at Midland and advance $2,000,000 for enlargement jand new equipment in order to adei quately supply the chemicals needed j in the manufacture of munitions. ; A large number of new wells are to ! be put down, as fast as possible, be- -j tween Mount Pleasant and Midland, I a pipe line will be laid between the two plants and a big power plant built somewhere between the two cities, which will supply light and power the whole length of the line.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPf ARE GIVING TOASTED CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS To anyone who doesn't know of the wonderful advances that have been made jn the preparation of smoking tobaccos in the last tew years it may sound strange to speak of toasted cigarettes. Strictly speaking, we should say cigarettes made of toasted tobacco; the smokers of this country will recognise it more readily by its trade name, "LUCKY STRIKE "—the toasted cigarette. The American Tobacco Company are producing millions of these toasted cigarettes and these are being bought in enormous quantities through the various tobacco funds conducted by the news* papers of the country and forwarded through the Red Cross Society to the boys in France. This new process of treating tobacco not only improves the flavor of the tobacco but it seals in this flavor and makes the cigarettes keep better. The Red Cross nurse is always glad to have a cigarette for the wounded soldier, as, in most instances, that is the first thing asked for. —Adv. Chicago—Victor L.

Halk then walked down the street, covered with blood, and was seen by neighbors, who informed officers. He was arrested at once. The man, aged 27, was brought horns from camp.

C H A P T E R X V — C o n t i n u e d . —16— The first of April in the Mount Mark parsonage was a rime of trial «rul tribulation, frequently to the extent of weeping and gnash!ug of teeth. The twins were no respecters of persons, and feeling thut the first of it& T, April rendered all tilings justifiable to all men, they made life as burdensome to their father as to Connie, and Fairy and Prudence lived in a state of perpetual anguish until the twins fell asleep at night well satisfied but worn out with the day's activities. The twins were bordering closely to the first stage of grown-up womanhood, but on the first of April they swore they would always be y o u n g ! The tricks were more dignified, more carefully planned and scientifically executed than in the days of their rollicking girlhood—but they were all the more heartbreaking on that account. The -week before the first was spent by Connie in a vain effort to ferret out their plans in order that foreknowledge might suggest a sufficient safeguard. The twins, however, were too clever to permit this, and their bloody -schemes were wrapped in mystery and burled in secrecy. On the thirty-first of March Connie labored like a plumber would if working by the Job. She painstakingly hid from sight all her cherished possessions. The twins were In the barn, presumably deep In plots. Aunt Grace was at the Ladles' Aid. So when Talry came fn, about four in the afternoon, there was only Prudence to note the vengeful glitter in her fine, clear eyes. And Prudence was so InteDt upon fenther-stltehlng the hems of pinkchecked dish towels that she did not observe It, "Where's p a p a ? " Fairy asked. "Upstairs." "Where are the twins?" "In the barn, getting ready for T H E DAY." Fairy smiled delightedly and skipped eagerly up the stairs. She was closeted with her father for some time, iind came out of his room at last with a small coin carefully concealed In the corner of her handkerchief. She did not remove her hat, but set briskly nut toward town again. i Prudence, startled out of her feath- j er-stitching, followed her to the door, i "Why, Fairy," she called. "Are you ! going out again?" ! Fairy threw up her hands. "So it ! seems. An errand for papa." She i lifted her brows and pursed up her I lips, and the wicked Joy in her face : pierced the mantle of Prudence's ah- j sorption again. "What's up?" she questioned curl- i ously, following her sister down the steps. Fairy looked about hurriedly, and then whispered n few words of ex plnnation. Prudence's look changed to one of unnaturally spiteful glee. "Good! F i n e ! Serves 'em right! You'd better hurry." "Tell Aunt Grace, will you? But don't let Connie In until morning. She'd give It away." At suppertime Fairy returned, and the twins, their eyes bright with the unholy Hght of mischief, never looked at her. They Bometfmes looked heavenward with n sublime contentment that drove Connie nearly frantic. Occasionally they uttered cryptic words about the morrow—and the older members of the family smiled pleasantly, hut Connie shuddered. She remembered so many April Fool's days. The family usually clung together on occasions of this kind, feeling there was safety and sympathy In numbers—as so many cowards have felt for lo these many years. And thus It happened t h a t they were all In the dining room when their father appeared at the door. He had his hands behind him suggestively. "Twins," he said, without preamble, " w h a t do yon want more than anything else?" "SfJfc stockings," w a s the prompt ,ind unanlmotw answer. He laughed. "Good guess, wasn't «t ?" And tossed Into their eager hands two slender boxes, nicely wrapped. T h e others gathered about them with smlllnc eyes as the twins tremulonsly tore off the wrappings. "A. Phoole's P u r e Silk Thread H o s e — G u a r a n t e e d ! " This they read from the box—neat golden lettering. It w a s enough for the twins. With fries of perfect bliss they flung themselves upon their father, kissing him rapturously wherever their lips might fouch. "Oh. papar "Oh, yon darling r And then, when they had some sort of control of their Jojr, Lark said solemnly, "Papa, It to a gift from heaven r "oi cutirst- w «j give Nuu Ule civdu, papa." ('and amended quickly, "but the thought was heaven-prompted." Fairy eliuked suddenly, and her lit of coughing interfered with the twins' gratitude to an all-suggesting Providence ! Carol twisted her box nervously. "You know, papa, it may seem very childish, and—silly to yon, but—actua l l y — w e have—well, prayed for silk stockings. We didn't honestly expect to get them, though—not until we saved up enough money enough to get them ourselves. Heaven is kinder to us than we—" "You can't understand such things, papa," said Lark. "Maybe you don't know exactly how—how they feel. When we go to Betty Hill's we wear her silk stockings and lie on the bed —and—she won't let us walk in them, for fear we may w e a r holes. Every girl in our class has at least one pair— Betty has three, but one pair's holey, and—we felt so awfully poor!" The smiles on the family faces were r a t h e r stereotyped by this time, but t h e exulting twins did not notice. Lark looked at Carol fondly. Carol sighed a t Lark blissfully. Then, with one accord, they lifted the covers from the boxes and drew out the shimmering hose. Yes—shimmering—but—they shook them out for inspection ! Their faces paled a little. "They—they are very—" began Carol courageously. Then she stopped. The hose were a fine tissue-paper imitation of silk stockings! The "April Fool, little twins," on the toes was not necessary for their enlightenment. They looked at their father with sad but unresentful reproach in their swiftly shadowed eyes. "It—it's a good joke," stammered Carol, moistening her dry lips with her tongue. "It's—one on us," blurted Lark promptly. "Ha, ha. ha," laughed Carol, slowly, dryly, very dully, "Yes—ha, ha, ha," echoed Lark, placing the bitter fruit carefully back In Its box. Her fingers actually trembled. "It's a—swell joke, all right," Carol said ; "we see that well enough—we're not stupid, you know. But we did want silk stockings so—awfully bad. But it's funny, ha, ha, ha !" "A gift from h e a v e n ! " muttered Lark, with clenched teeth. "Well, you got us that time." "Come on, Lark, we must put them sacredly away—silk stockings, you know, are mighty scarce in a pursonsaid uoilnu,^. tiu'> kindly and Connit* n o k e d :.1 I K / I u'a.s w e l l L'ull- "Yes, ha. ha. ho," and the crushed and broken twins l e f t ' t h e room, with dignity in spite of the blow. The family did not enjoy the joke on the twins. Mr. S t a r r looked at the others with ; all a / n a n ' s confused incomprehension I of a woman's notions! H e spread out j his hands—an orthodox, ministerial gesture ! I "Now, will someone kindly tell me ; what there Is in silk stockings to—" He shook his head helplessly, "Silk stockings : A gift from heaven !" He smiled, unmerrily. "The poor little kids!" Then he left the room. Aunt Grace openly wiped her eyes, smiling at herself as she did so. Fairy opened and closed her lips several times. Then she spoke. "Say. Prue. knock me down and sit on me, will yon? W h a t e v e r made me think of such a stupid trick as t h a t ? " "Why, bless their little hearts," whispered Prudence, sniffing. "Didn't they look Rorry? But they were so determined to be game." "Prudence, give me my eight cents," demanded Connie. "I want It right away." "What do you w a n t it for?" "Pm going clown to Morrow's and get some candy. I never saw a meaner trick In my life! Pm surprised a t papa. The twins only play jokes for fun." And Connie stalked grimly out of the parsonage and off toward town. A more abashed and downcast pair of twins probably never lived. They s a t thoughtfully in their room, "A. Phoole's Silk T h r e a d H o s e " carefully hidden from their h u r t eyes. "It was n good Joke," Lark said, now and then. "Yes, very," assented Carol. "But silk stockings, L a r k l e T And Lark squirmed wretchedly. "A gift from h e a v e n " she mourned. "Keir they must be laughing J" But they did not laugh. Connie came back- and shared h e r candy. They thanked her courteously a n d invited her t o sit down. They they all ate candy a n d grieved together silently. They did not speak of t h e morning's disaster, but t h e twins understood s a d appreciated the -tender sympathy of h e r attitude, a n d although ! l l r \ very tent. The morning jiassrd drearily. The twins had lust all relish for their wellplanned tricks, and the others, downstairs, found the usually wild and hilarious day almost unbearably poky. Prudence's voice was gentle as she called them down to dinner, and the twins, determined not to show the white feather, went down at once and took- their placet*. They bore their trouble bravely, but their eyes had the surprised and stricken look, and their faces were nearly old. Mr. Starr cut the blessing short, and t h e dinner was eaten In silence. The twins tried to s t a r t the conversation. They talked of t h e w e a t h e r with passionate devotion. They discussed their studies with an almost unbelievable enthusiasm. They even referred, with stiff smiles, to "papa's good Joke," and then laughed their dreary "ha, ha, ha," until their father wanted to fall upon his knees and beg forgiveness. Connie, still solicitous, helped them wash the dishes. The others disappeared. Fairy got her hat and went out without a word. Their father followed scarcely a block behind her. Aunt Grace sought all over the house for Prudence, and finally found her in the attic, comforting herself with a view of the lovely linens which filled her Hope Box. "I'm going for a walk," announced Aunt Grace briefly. "All right," assented Prudence. "If I'm not here when you get back, don't worry. I'm going for a walk myself." Their work done irreproachably, the twins and Connie went to the haymow and lay on the hay, still silent. T h e twins, buoyant though they were, could not so quickly recover from a shock like this. So intent were they upon the shadows among the cobwebs that they heard no sound from below until their father's head appeared at the toj) of the ladder, "Come up," they Invited hospitably but seriously. He did so at once, and stood before them, his face rather flushed, his manner a little constrained, but looking r a t h e r satisfied with himself on the whole. "Twins," he said, "I didn't know you were so crazy about silk stockings, We just thought it would be a good joke—but it. was a little too good. It was a boomerang. I don't know when I've felt so contemptible. So I went down and got you some real silk stockings—a dollar and a half a pair— and I'm glad to clear my conscience so easily." The twins blushed. "It—it was a good joke, papa," Carol assured hlra shyly. "It was a dandy. But. all the girls at school have silk stockings for best, and—we've been wanting them— forever. And—honestly, father, I don't know when I've had such a—such a spell of indigestion as when I saw those stockings were April Fool." "Indigestion," scoffed Connie, restored to normal by her father's handsome amends. "Yes, indigestion." declared Lark. I "You know, papa, that funny, hollow, hungry feeling—when you get a shock. T h a t ' s nervous indigestion—we read it in a medicine ad. They've got pills for it. But It was a good Joke. We saw t h a t right at the start." "And we didn't expect anything like this. It—Is very generous of you, papa. Very!" But "he noticed that they made no move to u n w r a p the box. It still lay between them on the hay, where he had tossed it. E \ i d e n t l y their confidence in him had been severely shattered. He sat down and unwrapped it himself. "They a r e guaranteed," be explained, passing out the little pink slips gravely, "so when they wear holes you get a n o t h e r pair for nothing." T h e twins' faces h a d brightened wonderfully. "I will never play t h a t kind of a trick again, twins, so you needn't be suspicious of me. And s a y ! Whenever you w a n t anything so badly It makes you feel like that, come and talk it over. We'll m a n a g e some way. Of course, we're always a little h a r d up, fc»qt we can generally scrape np something extra from somewhere. And we will. Ton mustn't—feel like that— about thlufs. Just tell me about it QMa aw exs-fcind of fonny, yon know.** The twins and Connie rushed to the noose to try the "feel" of the first adored silk tTKslngs, They donned them, admired them, petted Connie, Idolised their f^her, and then removing them, tied teem carefully la dean white ttacoa pa*er and deposited then in the safest corner of the bottom drawer of their dresser. Then tbtty lay hack oa the bed. thinking happily lb* clash party Silk hloek- "'Can't you ju: look in uur new and our patent silk stockings ! -!. imagine how we'll white dresses, Lark, leather pumps- with 1 really feel there is us silk can parbed nothing set* off a good complexion well as real silk stockings!" They were Interrupted in this delightful occupation by the entrance of Fairy. The twins had quickly realized that the suggestion for their humiliating had come from her, and their h e a r t s were sore, but being good losers— at least, as good losers as real live foiks can be—they wouldn't have admitted for the world. "Come on In, Fairy," said Lark cordially. "Aren't we lazy today?" "Twins," said Fairy, self-conscious for the first time in the twins' knowledge of her, "I suppose you know it was I who suggested that idiotic little stocking stunt. It was awfully hateful of me, and so I bought you real silk stocfclngs with my own spending money, and here they are, and you needn't thank me, for I never could be fond of myself again until I squared things with you." T h e twins had to admit t h a t It was really splendid of Fairy, and they thanked her with unfeigned zeal. "But papa already got us a pair, and so you can take these back and get your money again. It was Just* as sweet of you, Fairy, and we thank you, and It was perfectly dear and darling, but we have papa's now, and—" "Good for p a p a ! " Fairy cried, and burst out laughing at the joke that proved BO expensive for the perpetrators. "But you shall have my burnt offering, too. it serves us both right, but especially me, for It was my idea." And Fairy went away feeling very gratified and generous. Only girls who have wanted stockings for a "whole lifetime" realize the blissful state of the sonage twins. They lay on the planning the most Impossible but magnificent things they would do to show their gratitude, and when Aunt Grace stopped at their door they leaped up to overwhelm her with caresses just because of their gladness. She waved them away with a laugh. "April Fool, twins," she said, with a voice so soft that it took till the sting from the words. "I brought you some real silk stockings for a change." And she tossed them n package and started out of the room to escape their thanks. But she stopped in surprise when the girls burst Into merry laughter. "Oh. you silk stockings!" Carol cried. "Three p a i r s ! Yon darling, sweet old auntie ! You would come up here to tease us. would you? But papa gave us a pair, and Fairy gave us a pair, a n d — " "They did! Why, the silly t h i n g s ! " And the gentle woman looked as seriously vexed as she ever did look—she had so wanted to give them t h e first silk-stocking experience herself. "Oh, here you are," cried Prudence, stepping quickly in, and speaking very brightly to counterbalance the gloom *he had expected to encounter. She started back in some dismay when she saw the twins rolling and rocking with laughter, and Aunt Grace leaning against the dresser for support, with Connie on the floor, quite speechless. "Good for you, twins—that's the way to take hard knocks," she said. "It wasn't a very nice trick, though of course papa didn't understand how you felt about silk stockings. It w a s n ' t his fault. But Fairy and I ought to be ashamed, and we are. I went out and got you some real, genuine silk ones myself, so you needn't pray for them any more." Prudence was shocked, a little hurt, at the outburst that followed her words. "Well, such a family!" Aunt Grace exclaimed. And then Carol pulled her bodily down beside her on the bed and for a time they were all Incapable of explanation. " W h a t is the J o k e r Prudence asked, again and again, smiling—but still feeling a little pique. She had counted on gladdening their sorry little h e a r t s ! "Stockings, stockings— Oh, such a family!*' shrieked Carol. "There's no playing Jokes on the twins," said Annt Grace weakly. 'It takes the whole family to square on. It's too expensive." Then Lark explained, and Prudence sat down and Joined the merriment, which waxed so noisy that Mr. Starr from the library and Fairy from the kitchen, ran In to investigate. -April Foot, April Fool" cried Carai "We never played a trick like T Artie—this is our , 1 £ 1 ' i II i l l : ' ' ! ; (i i n i t ' Hi ;*$;• H|i m 1 .- . ^ ^ r v > . * ^ t w r l 111 JBes, U[ •je^s'"sW 7 *« S* f-f•M .; |liU' •ifc* W ' f^m ,aJ^« HOW MRS.

Mark Twain. Mark Twain said Sir Walter Scott's heroes didn't seem human—were hard to get acquainted with, much less t o churn around with. There was no warmth or companionship in the Wav- ^r!y clique. And yet, when Mark Twain was in King Arthur's court, ho rau around mostly with the younger, impressionable set, ami about all he had to do with LaunrWot and (ialahad was to get into quarrels with them. And after Mark n ^ m c d King Arthur from slavery and di-ath, they seemed as cool toward each other as if they had merely been out on a three weeks' fishing trip together. One begins to wonder, says the Kansas City Star, if Mark met Ivanhoe and the Waver- ]y boys half way when they were Introduced, or if he merely put on those uppish airs which he showed so brazenly In the Vatican and at the tomb of Abelard and Heloise.

The most celebrated Instance of the Salic law In history Is the accession of Maria Theresa, empress of Austria", writes Fred H. Peterson In Case and Comment. She was the only child of Charles VT, who was emperor from 1711 to 1740. During his entire reign he devoted himself to assure his succession In Maria Theresa, making many sacrifices and treaties to accomplish that purpose. The Salic law excluded her from her father's throne, but In 1713 he caused an act to be passed, known as the Pragmatic Sanction, which suspended the Salic law In so far as she was concerned.

Eftry Afilltble Tillable Aore Mutt 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 Oemind From Canada Aione 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, WO warn to direct him there. Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can Wet serve the combined interests. Western Canada's help will be required not later than April Sth.

It was the first warm day since llie cold winter had eonie, and though winter was not over yet, still !he animals almost felt as though spring had really come. " ' I t feels like spring, doesn't It?' asked the white polar bear as she waved her bead, was asleep, halfv: V v W "Mr. Polar Bear scratching his face with paws as he slept. Suddenly he got up, did a little dance and then took a bath. " 'I asked, you a question,' said Mrs. Polar Bear. " ' I was sleeping my dear. What was the "quest ion?' " 'I said t h a t it felt like spring, a n d I asked you If you didn't think so, too.' " 'I think so, indeed,' said Mr. Polar iiear. 'My bath water is quite mild. I envy now our cousins up north going in the icy water. How they all do love it. Even the cubs when they are only ten days old a r e allowed to have an icy bath.' " 'To be sure they are,' said Mrs. Polar Be.ar. 'The mothers always see to that.' " ' F e e l s like spring,' hissed the snakes to each other. " 'How about your new suit, Mrs. Snake?' asked her neighbor. " Tin getting rid of my old one in a very short time. I can't see very well now. How is your eyesight?' " 'Wretched,' said Mrs. Snake. " ' W h a t about a smart spring suit for you, Mr. Snake?' asked Mr. Garter Snake. " 'I'm being fitted for it now,' said Mr. Snake, who always puts on many airs. "As a matter of fact he was getting bis new suit just as the others were, and for that m a t t e r they were all getting suits to fit them—or r a t h e r new skins, which were growing under the old ones. * "Soon it would bo time to pull off the old ones with their noses, and then the scales would fall off their eyes. Snakes are almost blind when they are getting their now suits. To be sure they shed their skins at other times, but they think more of their spring suits than any others. "They like to call them spring suits, though to be really correct they should say their spring skins.

VISIT IS PURELY MILITARY Washington Says Trip Is Largely For Purpose of Inspection, Not Diplomatic. Washington Upon hearing ot Secretary Baker's safe arrival in France through a press dispatch from Paris, the war department on March 10, announced the secretary's visit is purely military and not diplomatic, and is for purposes of inspection and personal conferences with military officials. The department issued this statement: "A cable dispatch from Paris to the Associated Press Sunday night announced the arrival at a French port of the secretary of war. "For some time Secretary Baker has desired to visit headquarters of the American expeditionary forces. He sailed from an American port about February 27. "Secretary Baker has not determined the length of time he will re.rn.ain in France, but his stay will be long enough to enable him to make a thorough inspection of American forces abroad and to hold important conferences with American military officers. "It is expected not only will Secretary Baker visit American headquarters, but his inspection tour will cover construction projects, including docks, railroads and ordnance bases, now under way back of the American lines. "The secretary's visit is military and not diplomatic. It is essentially for the purposes of inspection and personal conference with military officials. The secretary is accompanied by Major-General W. M. Black, Lieutenant- Colonel Brett and Ralph Hayes, private secretary to Mr. Baker." It is regarded as probable the secretary will take the opportunity to investigate conditions in the field. Mr. Baker is the first member of President Wilson's cabinet to go to the battle zone. Out of his conferences, not only with General Pershing, but with leaders of the French and British governments as well, will come direct information for the president as to what is transpiring in the Allied countries to aid him in shaping his future course. Swift & Company Publicity At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of Swift & Company,which showed that the Company had been considering for some time an educational advertising campaign. The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for several years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations, resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: Sales $875,000,000. Profit* $34,650,000. This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500. If Swift 6c C o m p a n y had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser would have received ctoly one-eighth of a cent per pound more for hie cattle, or the consumer would have saved only o n e - q u a r t e r of a cent per p o u n d on dressed beef.

Children Cry for F l e t c h e r ' s Castoria of Gold' *m Lima, O.—Five persons are known to be dead, several others are reported killed, scores are injured, scores of homes were completely or partially demolished and hundreds of barns and out-buildings were razed by the tornado which traveled across northwestern Ohio Saturday, March 9. Estimates of property damage range from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. No serious damage was done in any of the larger cities, most of the destruction having been reported from country districts. Towns suffering the most were Van Wert, Middle Point, Convoy, Lima, Deshler, Hamler, Continental, Ottawa, Findlay, Napoleon, Holgate, Miller City and Tiffin. The tornado came in the form of an old-fashioned Kansas "twister." It would swoop down, wreck farm-houses, then jump from a half to five miles before doing more damage. The small loss of life is attributed to the fact that the tornado traveled mostly through the open country, skipping towns and villages. Throughout the storm district hundreds of persons received minor Injuries. Twelve persons are reported seriously injured. Evening Things Up. "My father has on income," said Bertha proudly.

Persona who are required to file returns under ;he provisions of law and who fall to get their returns In on time are subject to severe penalties, as follows: For making false or fraudulent return, not exceeding $2,000 or not exceeding one year's imprisonment, or botJv to the discretion of the court, and, in addition, 100 per cent, of the tax evaded/ For falling to make return on time, not less than $20 nor more* than $1,- 000, and, in addition, 50 per cent of the amount of tax due. If on account of Illness or absence from home you are unable to render your return within the time prescribed by law you may obtain an extension of 30 days if a request therefor is filed with the collector of your district before the due date of the return. In this request you must state the reason why the return cannot be filed within the time prescribed by law. Collectors of internal revenue are not authorized to grant extensions of more than 30 days, but the commissioner of Internal revenue has authority to grant a reasonable extension beyond 30 days in meritorious cases. If you desire an extension of more than 80 days your request should be addressed to the commissioner and should contain a detailed statement covering the reasons which make It Impossible for you to file your return on or before April 1. The Internal revenue men are now completing their tour of the country, during which they were in touch with the people of every city and town. If you failed to get in touch with the deputy which visited your section it Is not too late to get advice. Consult your postmaster as to where the nearest deputy Is now. Get your blank form, study the directions and the requirements as shown thereon and make your return without fail if your income was sufficient to come within the bounds named in the law. It is pointed out by Commissioner Roper that it is important that the people comply with the federal laws as fully as they are complying with the drafts for men and the conservation f)t foods and fuel. "The war must be paid for," says Commissioner Roper. "Congress has as much right to conscript a just portion of income as it lias to conscript our boys. The tax for 1917 is designed to reach moderate as well as large incomes, so that all persons who are in financial position to bear a portion of the heavy government expenses can be assessed in proportion to their ability to pay. "The man who is barely making a living or barely supporting a family is not affected by the 1917 law. But the man who is able to bear a share of the burden has been reached by the new law, and he should accept his responsibility in the sflme patriotic spirit that our young men have shown in offering themselves for this great purpose of the country to make the world safe for people of all kinds to live in and to govern themselves." This tax Is one which recognizes women as on an equal basis with men, The unmarried woman or the married woman with a salary must make tax return just the same as any man. Only the woman supporting her mother or other members of her family may take out $2,000 exemption. Under the law the head of the family is the one whose earning power contributes to the family's support. Similarly a widow with small children to support can take out $2,000 exemption and $200 additional exemption for each of her children under eighteen. Thus It Is intended that the law shall work no hardship to women having to struggle to get along. But each must file return if her income is $1,000. A man whose wife dies fcnd who is left with small children to support upon a moderate income may also take full exemption under the new tax law and also claim $200 exemption for er.ch of his children under eighteen. The widower under the law is a single man and must make tax return accordingly. Married men need not file returns unless they are earning $2,000 or more. "This Is as much a national obligation as the reporting for duty of a man drafted for service with the colors," says D. C itoper, commissioner of Internal revenue, "As It stands, It Is much a matter of the man or woman's own conscience. It Is for him or for her to determine Just how far he Is liable to the tax. He must figure his own Income and If It reaches the figures named In the law moat makefaithful report upon It to the proper authority. __"Tbia, tax It dlatlncUr i_ y * r Baeaft i HERE AND THERE «•# aaaaaaasae)s)i»a i Tut?

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Mar. .T1J91S v ,: * • ^ ^ P '^vm No. 12 Government Encourages Michrgan Farmers T o P l a n t B e a n s T h i s C o m i n g S e a s o n L*f t year the nation waa COD • fronted by two serioaa problems, the moat isaportant being to market and save tke wet weather dam aged beans in Michigan and New York. The second, almost as important, was to secure a market for the excess crop of oolored beans The Food Admininistration worked out the problem in the following mauner:' It waa almost a certainty that the consuming public would not purchase heavily of this weather damaged wet stock as long as it could buy at equal or lower prices strictly dry original stock from other states. Further, the government knew accurately the quantity required for our army, navy and over-aeas forces. These requirements amounted to practically all of the available good, dry etock in the country and since our own 6oldiers are offering their lives for us they are entitled to the very best food we can produce. In order to insure these requirements, the army and navy commandeered the entire crop of good California white beans at a price of 11¾ cents per poaod to the growers. They also took over by commandeer all imported white beans cf good quality at an average price of 9} cent* pec pound on the docks in this country. This left two states, Michigan and New York, to take eare of onr •entire civiliain requirements on white beans. In addition, the tin plate aitnation waa very serious and all canners restricted te fifty per cent of their normal output of dry beans, the Food Ad .ministration adviaed them that as a food conservation measure, per* mite wonld be issued freely for the -canning of wet beans. The army and navy went further even than this and, although they needed large quantities of canned goods and owned the dry stock, they retused to release the'dry beans they had secured by commandeer and •asked all canners to fill their requirements from available stock left in this country. This unprecedented demand ha* kept all Michigan and New York shipping elevators cleaned up of ;|upplie8 as fast as the farmers .jrould sell, and in spite of poor iuality of stock has given these farmers a higher market than any other producing lection. The world-wide demands for food now exceeds the production ability of onr farmers with their present labor difficulties, and Beans, particularly, with their protein content, are especially needed With a continuation of this war every grower of beans will be assured of an active market at good prices. They should also be acquainted with the efforts of the Food Administration to get these beans to the consumer in as economical way aa postiihle. Any grower or operator can. make suggestions to assist in handling the crop and the Food A'douni station will carefully consider them.

Yon r 3member how that blanked hook has a profane habit of catch ing in yonr aoat sleeve or in the lining of your "dinged" pocket, thereby causing many prolonged and emphatic expletives which do not aeist materially in the day's eaten, but has always been consid ered one of the necessary evils of day's fishing. Ion can dispense with ail this irascibility hereafter and even a preacher's wife can cheerfully speed her husband on his departure for the lake without doubts of his being tempted beyond human endurance to lose his temper when the sharp barbed point of a measly fish hook catches into his hide through carelessness. Mr. B. C. Daller of West Ham burg has invented and patented a fish hook guard for artificial bait which will make the most disa reeable part of angling a thing of the past. That the invention is successful is assured by the fact that the firm A. G. Spauldin* atf(ji company the largest manufacturers of sporting goods in th« world have offered to buy the patent out right.

Such is (lie striking title to u welltlaied cartoon iu un uKricultural paper, showing the War Lord iu salute to tlus fanner. The meaning ol it is thai without the assistance that the farmer renders In the matter of providing food for the array the fighting ability of that body would be proportionally decreased. While the army is fighting, the farmer Is busy. The promptness with whU'h he sprang into the breach was a patriotism equal to that of the man who enlisted and the farmer's record in this particular was worthy of the high record that has become his. All over the United States the appeal Is being met by more production. Fields are enlarged, intensive agriculture has taken the place of gllpshod methods, more cattle are being fattened, more hogs grown, veal and la rub have become scarce commodities/ This is all In keeping with the food-controller's demands, and with the heartiness that is now prevalent, it would seem as if the requirements of the boys at the front and the allies in Europe would be fully met. Not only are the tilled acres of the Tutted States being brought into requisition, but the Wild pasture lands are doing tribute with their cattle and sheep. Working in conjunction with the United States, Western Canada is also doing its share and a pretty large share it is, too. By an arrangement with the United States Government it will now be possible through its employment bureau to secure for the Western Canada lields such help as can be spared. It Is thought in lhi« way Canada will have its help to seed Its millions of acres of wheat land fairly well met. The large number of young men of the farms who have enlisted and gone to the front has left many of the Western Canada farms weak in the- mutter of man power. This means that Canada can take all that the United States can spare. The wages will be good and the houslug comfortable. In addition to this the free homestead lands of Western Canada offer the greatest Inducement to the man with limited means who Is willing to undergo some of the hardships naturally accompanying this enterprise. There is also the large area of uncultivated lands that are waiting the man with sufficient means to purchase and equip. And this is not expensive. The cheap hinds are cheap and the terms very reasonable. Equipped with tractor or horse power the cultivation cost is slight when the return is considered. Yields of wheat varying from 20 to 40 bushels per acre may be relied upon, and with a set price of over $2.00 per bushel, It Is an easy matter to arrive at the cost. Production, including Interest on land, has been estimated at figures not exceeding ten dollars an acre. With a twenty bushel yield, at a two dollar price—forty dollars. Ten from forty and you have the profits many farmers made in Western Canada the past year. The Dominion and Provincial Governments are working conjointly In an Increased production propaganda. Among the important steps that have been taken to bring this about is the recent order by which it is made possible to take Into Canada tractors that cost fourteen hundred dollars and less In the country of production. This will give those residing In the United States, owning lands In Canada, the opportunity to place them under cultivation at much less cost than in the post. Another Inducement is the privilege of taking sheep and cattle in free of duty. Automobiles form a necessary part of the outfit of a good many farmers that would like to move to Canada. These are now accorded free duty. Provision Is also made that those requiring seed and unable to obtain It In any other way, may get It from the Government. So from this It will be seen that It Is not only the fertile lands of Western Canada that invite the settler, but the ease and cheapness with which a fanner may establish himself.—Advertisement.

I tried everything I eookl think of and was under a physician's care for two years. A girl friend had used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and she told me about it. From the first day I took it I began to feel better and now I am well and able to do most any k i n d of work. I have been recommending the Compound ever since and give yon my permission to publish this letter."—Miss FLO KELLY, 476 So. 14th S t , Newark, N.J. The reason this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia £. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, was so successful in Miss Kelly's case was because it went to the root of her trouble, restored her to a normal healthy condition and as a result her nervousness disappeared.

Its fairness auci fragrance sung by the poet, its perfection of grace painted by the artist, the Illy is the queen of spring blossoms chosen to symbolize the resurrection us It is celebrated at Easter. Some years ago the United States department of agriculture took note of this annual exodus of American funds, growing larger year by year, and since then it has been taking effectual measures to keep those millions at home. In the case of the Easter lily, the narcissus, the hyacinth and the tulip, with other spring blossoms used at Easter in immense quantities, the government's experiments have proved that all can be grown in this country, not only as well as abroad, but better, and the department scientists are now working out the problems of how and In exactly what sections of the country Kaster lilies and other bulbous plants and delicate flowering shrubs may be grown to best advantage. Of lute years the Bermuda lily bulbs have given the United States florists trouble by reason of disease, which has caused great uncertainty as to result and general deterioration In the stock, a condition attributable, It Is believed, to continuous planting In the same spot.' On account of tills difficulty with the lily from Bermuda this country's trade has been transferred in large part to Japan, some of whose Islands now supply the larger part of the American trade in Easter Hlles. Easter lilies are shipped into the larger cities of the East, such as New York, Boston and Philadelphia, during the months of July and August. Each of these cities receive hundreds of thousands of bulbs annually and distribute them to the trade, the larger florists taking from ten thousand to fifteen thousand bulbs a season. The price of the bulbs Is In the neighborhood of a hundred dollars a thousand. The florist loses no time in planting his precious freight In a temperature where only the root will start. To obtain perfectly healthy American stock from which to make Its experiments in bulb culture In this country the department of agriculture some years ago planted the seed of the lillum longlflorum, which Is the botanical name of our familiar Easter Illy. From this planting there resulted several pounds of seed, with which experiments were made In sections of Florida, Mississippi, the state of Washington, Texas and Cattfornfa. The result has been the production of stronger, healthier and handsomer Raster lilies thsn can be grown from Imported bulbs. Federal experimentation proves thst climatic and soil conditions In southern California are such as to favor the production of the finest Easter lilies In the world. The department of agriculture Is alio expending Its efforts upon other plants, whose bulbs and roots are Imported each year at a cost of-nearly three million dollars to supply the Raster trade. These Include hyacinths, tulips and narcltsl, with the decorative u If DO dealer in jour town, write avSt* tofctrti' lat C*. tOf tnai tame. WMkufca, Vs. EASY MATTER TO EXPLAIN y3BDCmftZ2ZQZ& azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs and other blossoms, which are brought to the zenith of their glory at Eastertide. After a series of tests made by the department of agriculture In various states it has been found that tulips, narcissi and hyacinths can best be produced In this country In certain parts of the Pacific coast, these being northwest Washington and northwest California, and that there are areas In those states extensive enough to supply all the bulbs this country needs. with soil and climatic conditions even more favorable for the culture of "Dutch bulbs*' than the Haarlem bulb district of Holland. Said one of the scientists of the department of agriculture in a recent talk on the subject of bulb culture in America for *he home trade: "One of the main deterrent factors with those who contemplate entering the business in this country, where It seems probable they can produce a better article than the imported, is that of the extensive band labor as yet necessitated In bulb culture. The biggest Job In this connection is digging. As the business expands, however, it Is more than likely that the American farm Implement manufacturer will provide machinery to overcome this need, as he has In the.past overcome every other obstacle In farm operation. Of late It is reported that machinery Is coming into use even In Holland to a limited extent In bulb culture on account of the scarcity of labor due to war conditions." Whether due to the war, or to a knowledge of the tendency on the part of the United States to keep its bulb trade at home, a number of Holland and Belgium bulb and decorative plant growers have emigrated to the Pacific coast and have entered the business with a view to assisting In the American supply of Easter flowers. One grower of azaleas and araucarias who en me from Ghent in Belgium Is endeavoring to establish this business in California. He made the statement to the effect that he found conditions here superior to those in Belgium. One great advantage, he finds, is that plants bud here fully several weeks before they tsnsh budding ta Ghent, enabling than to be forced for the tarty American market He states that America imports annually between two and three millions of decorative plants, including rhododendrons, aseless, hofllts, *oaweods and araucarias, all of which can be produced rfere In commercial quantities at a cost which will defy competition, provided the transcontinental railways will encourage the development of right rates, which will enable dealers to use the home-grown products. ! There Is one widely used Easter flower, formerly imported from Holland, which has been thoroughly established In this country, having been brought to bloom in sufficient quantity to supply the entire demand. This Is the freesia, prized by florists and people alike as a beautiful and fragrant Easter blossom. A talk with one of the horticultural experts of the department of agriculture resulted In some Interesting facts concerning the feesla. "The plant Is a native of South Africa," he said, "but had been commercially grown in Holland up to about fifteen years ago, when It was found that it could be produced here more satisfactorily than It could be Imported. We have produced strains larger and finer and very much better fitted for our. use than the original flower. It has been developed in Florida, to some extent In Georgia, but to the greatest extent In California, where It Is cultivated in great sweetscented fields In Santa Ana, Santa Barbara, Pasadena and Sau Gabriel. These towns are the center of our home-grown freesia, now thoroughly Americanized and supplying our entire trade. '•The original colors of the freesia were white, known as 'Purity/ and a rather lurid yellow, but about fifteen years ago a few plants of a pale pinktinted species, known as Treesta armstrongil/ were found in Natal, South Africa. It was a small, lilac pink flower, but scentless. This species seems to be extremely, rare in nature and It was eagerly seised upon by propagators In different parts of the world. "Italy, France, Holland, England and this country all procured specimens, and by hybridising and Intercrossing the seedlings a great range of beautiful colors have been produced. They ran from cream to golden yellow on one hand, and to pale pink and light crimson on the other, and even a bras has been developed. These varieties are still scarce, but they are known to the trade, which has termed them 4ralnbow freesia a/ They exMle a dell, cats aprlcot-Uke fragrance. Similarity of Spelling That Really Looked Suspicious Quite a Simple Thing, According to Tommy. A schoolmaster received the following note one morning from a pupil: "Dear sir—Pleese eskcoose little Tommy for his absens yestlday as he waz qwlte 11, and the doctor tolled me to kepe him in bed. So I let him stay home. Yours resptlvely , Misses Smith." The master was a trifle suspicious. "Tommy," said he, sternly, "who wrote that note?" "Why—er—mother did, if you please, sir." "Well, I must say that some of the spelling is remarkably like the spelling you generally give me." But Tommy was equal to the occasion. "Yes, sir," said he, cheerily. "Everyone says that, as far as spelling Is concerned, I'm the image of my mother."— London Tit-Bits. No Cause for Alarm. "Were you frightened, my darling?" asked a doting mother of her little one, who had been lost and was found after several hours of diligent search. "Why, no, mamma," replied the child, wonderlngly, "I wasn't lost; it was my home that was lost." But the best airship on earth may be good in the air.

CHAPTER XV—Continued. —17— "Yoa're the nicest old things that ever lived," said Lark, still laughing, but with great warmth and tenderness In her eyes and her voice. "But you can take the stockings back and save your money If you like—we love you just a s much." But this the happy donors stoutly refused to tlo. The twins had earned this wealth of hose, and finally, wiping their eyes, the twins began to smooth their hair and adjust their ribbons and belts. "What's the matter r "Where are you going?" "Will you buy the rest of us some silk stockings?" queried the family, comic-opera effect. "Where are w e going V Carol repeated, surprised, seeming to feel that nnyone should know where they were going, though they had not spoken. "We're going to call on our friends, of course," explained Lark. "Of course," said Carol, jabbing her hairpins In with startling energy. "And we've got to hurry. We must go to Hattle's and Jean's and Betty's and Fan's and Alice's and—say, Lark, maybe we'd better divide up and each take half. It's kind of late—and w e mustn't miss any." "Weil what on earth!" gasped Prudence, while the others stared In speechless amazement "For goodness' sake, Carol hurry. We have to get clear out to Minnie's tonight, If we miss our supper." "But what's the idea? What for? What are you tnIking about?" "Why, you silly thing," said Carol patiently, 'fcve have to go and tell our friends that we've got four pairs of silk stockings, of course. I wouldn't miss this afternoon for the world. And we'll go the rounds together, Lark. I want to see how they take it," she smiled at them benignly. "I can imagine their excitement And w e owe it to the world to give It all the excitement we can. Prudence says so." Prudence looked startled. "Did 1 say that?" "Certainly. You said pleasure—but pxcitement's very pleasing, most of the time. Come on, Larkie, we'll have to walk fast." And with a fond goodby to the generous family, the twins set out to spread the joyful tidings, Lark pausing At the door just long enough to explain gravely, "Of course, we won't tell *hero—er—Just how it happened, you know. Lots of things in a parsonage need to be kept dark. Prudence says so herself." CHAPTER XVI. The Girl Who Wouldn't Propose. tt took a long time for Carol to recover from the effect of Lark's disloyalty, as she persisted In calling it. For severahweeks she didn't twinkle at all. But when at last the smiles came easy again, she wrote to Mr. Duke, her P'fessor no longer, but now a fullfledged young minister. She apologised sweetly for her Tong delay. "But you will forgive me when you have read this," she wrote. "Cupid Is working havoc In our family. Of course no one outside the home circle knows yet, but I insisted on telling you because you have been such a grand good friend to us for so long. We may seem young to you, because you can't forget when we were freshmen, but we are really very grown up. We act quite mature now, and never think of playing jokes. But I didn't finish my news, did I f 'It Is Jim Forrest—he was in high school when we were. Remember him? Larkie and I were out to spend a week, and—but I needn't go Into particulars. I knew you would be Interested. The whole family Is very happy about It; he Is a great favorite with everyone. Rat how our family is going to pieces 1 Still, since it Is J i m — ! H e Is nice, isn't he? But you wouldn't dare say no." Carol's eyes glittered wickedly as she sealed this letter, which she had penned with greatest care. And a few days later, when the answer came, she danced gleefully up t h e stairs—not at all "mature" in manner, and locked the door behind her while she read: Dear Carol: Indeed I am very interested, and I wish you all the joy In the world-. Tell Jim for me how very much I think he Is to be congratulated. He seams a fine fellow, and I know you will be happy. It w w a surprise, I admit—I knew be was doing the very devoted—bat you have seemed so young to me, alwaya. I can't imagine you too grown up for jokes, though yott do sound more "mature" In this tetter than yen have before, Lark will be lonely, t am afraid.

DAVID A. DUKECarol lay down on the bed and crushed the letter ecstatically between her hands. Then she burst out laughing. Then she cried a little, nervously, and laughed ugain. Then she smoothed the letter affectionately, and curled up on the bed with a pad of paper and her father's fountain pen to answer the letter. My Dear Mr. Duke: However In the world could you make such a mistake. I've been laughing ever since I got your letter, but I'm vexed too. He'a nice, all right; he's just fine, but I don't want him I And thtnk how annoyed. Lark would be If she could see it. I am not engaged to Jim Forrest,—nor to any one. It's Lark. I certainly didn't say tt was I, did I? We're, all so fond of Jim that it reaily Is a pleasure to the whole family to count him one of us, and Lark grows more deliriously joyful all the time. But I! I know you're awfully busy, of course, and I hate to Intrude, but you must write one little postal card to apologise for your error, and IT! understand how hard you are working when you do not write again. Hastily, but always sincerely, CAROL. Carol Jumped up and caught up her hat and rushed all the way downtown to the postofHce to get that letter started for Danville, Illinois, where the Rev, Mr. Duke was located. Her face was so radiant, and her eyes were so heavenly blue, and so sparkling bright that people on the street turned to look after her admiringly. She was feverishly Impatient until the answer arrived, and was not at all surprised that It came under special Then She Smoothed the Letter Affectionately and Curled Up on the Bed. delivery stamp, though Lark lifted her eyebrows quizzically, and Aunt Grace smiled suggestively, and her father looked up with sudden questioning In his face. Carol made no comment, only ran up to her room and locked the door once more. Carol, you awful Uttle scamp, you did that on purposV and you know It. You never mentioned Lark's name. Well, if you wanted to give me the scare of my life, you succeeded. Of course, I don't want to lose my little chum, and I knew very well that no man in his proper senses would allow his sweetheart to be as good a comrade to another man as I want you to be to me. Of course I was disappointed. Of course I expected to be busy for a while. Of course I failed to see thf sterling worth of Jtm Forrest I see It now, though. I think he's a prince, and as near worth being in your family as anybody could be. I'm sure we'll be great friends, and tell Lark for me that I am waxing enthusiastic over his good qualities even to the point of being Inarticulate. Tell her how happy T am over it, a good deal happier than I've b >on for the past several days, and I am wishing them both a world of joy. I'm having one myself, and I and It well worth having. I could shake you. Carol, for playing such a trick on me. I can just see you crouch down and giggle when you read this. You watt, my lady. My turn is coming- I think I'tL_run down to Meunt Mack next week to see my unclehe's not very welL Don't have any dates. Sincerely, D. D. And Carol laughed again, and wiped her eyea. The Rev. Mr. Duke's devotion to big elderly uncle in Mount Mark was a moat beautiful tiring to sea. Every few weeks he 'ran down for a f e w days," and if be spent moat of his time n y counting his uncle's symptom* before the sympathetic Starra, n o o n * t o o k ) ] be surprised at t h a t He and Mr. Starr naturally had much in common, both ministers, and both—at any rate, he w a s very devoted to his uncle, and Carol grew up very, very fast, and smiled a great deal, but laughed much leas frequently than In other days. There was a shy sweetness about her that ma'fe her father watch her anxiously. "Is Carol sick, Grace 7" he asked one day, turning suddenly to his sister-inlaw. She smiled curiously. "N-no, I think not, W h y r "She seems very—sweet" "Yes, She feels very—sweet," was the enigmatic response. And Mr. Starr muttered something about women and geometry and went away, shaking his head. And aunt Grace smiled again. But the months passed away. Lark, not too absorbed in her own happiness to find room for her twin's affairs, at last grew troubled. She and Aunt Grace often held little conferences to- -pether when Carol was safely out of the way. "Whatever do you suppose Is the matter?" Lark would wonder anxiously. To which aunt always answered patiently, "Oh, just w a i t He Isn't sure she's grown-up enough y e t " Then there came a quiet night when Carol and Mr. Duke sat In the living room, idly discussing the weather, and looking at Connie, who was deeply immersed In a book on the other side uf the big reading lamp. Conversation between them lagged so noticeably that they sighed with relief when she finally laid down her book, and twisted around in her chair until she had them both in full view. "Books are funny," she began brightly. "I don't believe half the written stuff ever did happen—I don't believe it could. Do girls ever propose, Mr. D u k e r No one ever proposed to me," he answered, laughing. "No?" she queried politely. "Maybe no one wanted you badly enough. But I wonder if they ever do? Writers say so. I can't believe It somehow. It seems so — well — unnecessary, some way. Carol and I were talking about It this afternoon." Carol looked up startled. "What does Carol think about ltr" he queried. "Well, she said she thought In ordinary cases girls were clever enough to #ct what they wanted without asking for it.H Carol moved restlessly In her chair, her face drooping a little, and Mr. Duke laughed. "Of course I know none of our girls would do such a thing." said Connie, serene In ner family pride. "Bat Carol says she must admit she'd like to find some way to make a man say what anybody could see with half an eye he wanted to say anyhow, only—" Connie stopped abruptly. Mr. Duke had turned to Carol, his keen eyes searching her face, but Carol sank In the big chair and turned her face away from bira against the leather cushion. "Connie." she said, "of course no girl would propose, no girl would want to—I was only joking—" Mr. Duke laughed openly then. "Let's go and take a walk, shan't we, Carol? It's a grand night" "You needn't go to get rid of me," said Connie, rising. "I was just going anyhow." "Oh, don't go," said Mr. Duke politely. "Don't go," echoed Carol pleadingly. Connie stepped to the doorway, then paused and looked back at them. Sudden illumination came to her as she scanned their faces, the man's clearcut, determined, eager—carol's shy and scared and—hopeful. She turned quickly back toward her sister, pain darkening her eyes. Carol was the Inst of nil the fclrls—it would leave her alone —and he was too old for her. Her lips quivered a little, and her face shadowed more darkly. But they did not see It. The man's eyes were Intent on Carol's lovely feature*, and Carol was studying her slender fingers. Connie drew a long breath, and looked down upon her sister with a great protecting tenderness in her heart. She wanted to catch her up in ber strong* young arms and carry her wildly out of the room—away from the man who sat there—waiting for ber— Carol lifted ' r face at that moment and turned slowly toward Mr. Duke. Connie saw her eyes. They were luminous, Connie's tense figure relaxed then and she turned at once toward the door. **1 am going," she said in a low voice. But she looked back again before she closed the door after ber. "OaroV* she raid In a whisper, "you— von're a darling. 1—Pve always thrtUght so." Carol did not hear her—she did not hear the door closing behind her—she had forgotten Connie was there. Mr. Duke stood up and walked quickly across the room and Carol rose to meet him. He put his anna about her, strongly, without hesitating. "Carol," he said, "my little songbird"— and he laughed, but very tenderly, "would you like to know how to make me say what you know I want to say?" **I—I—" she began tremulously, clasping her hands against her breast, gnd looking intently, us if fascinated, at his square, firm chin so very near her eyes. She had never observed it so near at hand before. She thought It was a lovely chin—In another man she would have called it distinctly "bossy." "You would try to make me when you know I've been gritting nay teeth for years, waiting for you to get grown up. You've been awfully slow about It, Carol, and I've been In such a hurry for you." She rested limply In his arms now, breathing In little broken sighs, net trying to speak. "You have known it a long time, haven't you? And I thought I was hiding it so cleverly." He drew her closer In his arms. "You are too young for me, Carol," he said regretfully. "I am very old." "I—I like 'em old," she whispered shyly. With one hand he drew her head to his shoulder, where he could feel the warm, fragrant breath against the "lovely chin." "You like 'them' old," he repeated smiling. "You are very generous. One old one Is all I want you to like." But when he leaned toward her lips, Carol drew away swiftly. "Don't be afraid of me, Carol. You didn't mind once when I kissed you." He laid his hand softly on her round cheek. "I am toe old, dearest, but I've been loving you for years, I guess. I've been waiting for you since you were a little fresh' man, only I didn't know it for a while. Say something, Carol—I don't want you to feel timid with me. You love me, don't you? Tell me, if you do." "I—I." She looked up at him desperately. "I—well, I made you soy It, didn't i r "Did you want me to say it, dearest? Have you been waiting, too? How long hare you—" "Oh, a long time; since that night among the rose bushes at the parsonage." "Since then?" "Yes; that was why tt didn't break my pledge when you kissed me. Be* cause I—was waiting than." "Do yon love me7" "Oh, P'fessor, don't mnke me say It right out In plain English—not tonight I'm pretty nearly going to cry now, and—" She twinkled a little then, like herself, "you know what ery* ing does to ray complexion." But he did not smile. "Don't cry," he said. "We want to be happy tonight You will tell me tomorrow. Tonight—" "Tonight," she said sweetly, turning In his arms so that her face wgs toward him again, "tonight—" She lifted her arms, and put them softly about his neck, the laces falling back and showing her pink, dimpled elbows. "Tonight, my dearest—" She lifted her lips to him, smiling. T H E END. Relax and R e s t The habit of relaxing Is an excellent one, especially Just a while previou* to sleeping time, for In this wny one prepares the mind and body ^for that subconscious lapse which restores health and vitality. One way to Induce relaxation and sleep is n fresh wholesome condition of body, nnrl MO the matter of the daily hath Is nn Important detail to be considered. Indeed, very often when body and mind seem too weary to rest the hot or cold bath proves the one thing that will induce sleep, for, besides cleansing the body, it settles and calms the nerves, and consequently Invites relaxation.

Conferences of packers, where prices have been discussed, have been held at the urgent request and in the presence of representatives of either the Food Administration or the Council of National Defense. And yet the packers have been accused of committing a felony by acting in collusion on Government bids! We have done our best, with other packers, large and small, to comply with the directions of the United States Food Administration in all particulars, including the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S. Army and Navy and the Allies, now being handled through the Food Administration. We will continue to do our utmost, under Government direction, to increare our production and assist the Food Administration. W e consider mat the opportunity to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our fullest powers with this branch of the Government is our plain and most pressing duty. The Trade Commission Attorney has, by false inference and misplaced emphasis, given to disconnected portions of the correspondence taken from our private files and read into the Record, a false and sinister meaning with the plain purpose of creating antagonistic public opinion.

WHY WORRY ABOUT CONCURRENT LEGISLATION? The antiprohibitionlsts are making a fearsome bugaboo out of the difficulties that supposedly will arise from concurrent enforcement of the prohibition amendment by federal and state governments. They suggest the possibility of the Inflicting of a double conviction for one crime, a conflict between the laws of the state and federal government, etc. As a matter of history, concurrent legislation by the federal and state governments has been tested and found to work successfully. Attention was called to this fact by Congressman E. Y. Webb at the time of the hearing and vote on the amendment in the house: "Counterfeiting Is peculiarly a national offense," said Mr. Webb, "because it is offensive to the integrity of the national money, and yet nearly all the stutes have statutes condemning and punishing counterfelting. But there the jurisdiction is concurrent, and^if the state gets hold of a counterfeiter first the federal government sometimes lets the state handle it, but often asks the state to turn him over to the federal government. But the states have the right to enforce their laws against counterfeiters because the congress has given them the Jurisdiction." A TRAITOR TO HI8 OWN BODY. One of the strongest arguments that a physician can offer against the use of alcohol is its paralyzing effect upon the white blood corpuscles. These are our chief agents in defense against disease. When some morbid element enters the blood stream it is the duty of the white corpuscles to cast out. But the user of alcohol Is lacking In this defense because he has been a traitor to his own body, taking into It that which destroys the power of his defenders. This Is the explanation of the high death rate when pneumonia, typhoid, or other serious diseases attack habitual driukera. It also explains the reluctance of the surgeon to operate upon a heavy drinker. The patient is lacking in that vital element known as "resistance."

Teaching Little Children. Parents must not look down upon the child and consider his efforts, trials and sorrows petty; we must try to understand how sincerely they put all their hearts Into their pluy and that the losses that seem t>o trivial to us are of great moment to them. We must learn to share all their experiences with them if we would develop the tine feelings we wish to have at maturity. Children must not be shut off In one part of the house to remain aloof until a certain age, but ought to be part of the family circle, sharing In joys, work and minor sorrows. I do not mean that children should be pushed before visitors, have all their meals at the family table or remain till their elders retire, but there are times and places where it is the children's right and privilege really to be members of the family.—Exchange.

Phelps' big idea i s movable wings which may be controled by the driver. By setting these wings at the right angle the driver is able to get away within a third of the distance generally required by the standard type. T h e movable wings also mean that, even though t h e steering apparatus may become damaged or unworkable and the tail of t h e machine shot away, t h e airplane m a y be controlled perfectly.

Even the gold fishes In the bowl were sleeping and the suails were en- Joying a good rest. "Suddenly a little fairy came hopping and skipping into the library. 'Hello, peacocks,' ahe said. 'I've- been meaning to come fur some time, but I've been so busy. Gracious, but I've been a busy fairy !' " "What have you been doing?' asked the peacocks. "The little fairy put her wand down on the library table and jumped up on the table beside the peacocks. And of course you must know just who the peacocks were, and why they were in the library. On the library table was a set of book-racks. At either end these racks held up whatever books were put between them, so they were arranged where people could look at the names of the books they wanted to take out and read. These bookracks were very beautiful. Each one was made to look like a beautiful peacock with a spread tall, and so, at either end there was a- muke-belleve peacock. "They were the peacocks the fairy had come to see. She stuck her little feet straight out before her, and she wore sandals with wings upon them. " 'And now you've asked me what I've been doing lately. I've been going to a number of parties. The fairies have given a ball, the brownies and gnomes have given a slush party on a deliclously slushy day last week, and there has been a lot of work to attend to. "I've been helping the Fairy Queen in her talks to Mr. Sandman and the Dream Kirn? so children will have love- She $tuck Her Little Feet Out Before Her. ly dreams, and also so they'll hear that there are no bad goblins, but only nice, Jolly goblins. " 'I do beHeve the children in the bedrooms of this house are dreaming some of our special dreams tonight.' "She threw a kiss to each peacock, and said, 'Now tell me the story you promised me last time I came.' "The peacocks could not look at each other, as one was at one end of the books—and the other one at the other end. "The fairy noticed this at once, and said, 'You might begin, peacock at this end. and then when you pause, the other peacocks will talk.' "So that settled the difficulty. " 'The story we wanted to tell you,' said the first peacock, 'was this. We wanted to let you know what an honor had been paid to peacocks. We thought you might tell the fairies about us, and that would please us so much. We get rather tired staying so still, but we're happy because of our story.* "The second peacock began to speak, as the fairy hopped over nearer that end of the book-rack. 'We're so delighted because for years we've been considered very vain. We have beautiful tails and we love to spread them out and strut about and show them off. 14 'No wonder, then, that we want to show them to the whole world. We think they enjoy beautiful tilings, and so we show off our tails. But do they appreciate them? Not for a moment. Well, maybe that's a bit harsh. They do think our tails are beautiful, Tve not a doubt of that, but Instead of thanking us for giving them so many opportunities for seeing our tails, they call us vain.' " 'We are vain, to be sure,' said the first peacock, 'but we like to give pleasure with our beauty. And so it's no wonder they choose us for lovely book-racks. Rut more than that—we make lovely decorations, but we hold up books, and *o they must think we're wise, and It's something we've never been thought before.'

O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright. 1918. Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR MARCH 31 JESU8 OUR EXAMPLE IN SERVICE. GOLDEN TEXT—Let this mind be In you, which was also hi Christ Jesus.— Phil. 2:5. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jeeus our example In helping others. MEMORY VERSE—Follow me.—Matt 13. EASTER LESSON. LESSON TEXT-I Cor. 15:50-». GOLDEN TEXT-Thanka be unto God who glveth us the victory through our Lord Jesue Christ—I Cor. 16*. (Bead Phil. 2:1*11.) A great many Sunday schools will probably omit the review lesson and devote the day to some special Easter exercises. This practice we cannot wholly condemn, but we would urge every school to devote some time to a consideration of the lesson text. Review Sunday is dreaded by many superintendents, but it is a test of knowledge and skill In teaching, as well as the character of work done during the.past three months. Some codemn Bible-school teaching by comparing It disparagingly with that of the day school without taking into consideration the difference between paid and volunteer teachers, the limited time devoted to study, discipline and other features. It Is manifestly unfair to Judge the Sunday school by the same pedagogical standards as are applied to our public schools. The Sunday school deals with spiritual realities and not alone with moral issues. It Is a wonderful testimony to the blessing of God that with such meager equipment, training and time at our disposal, the results of the Sunday school are so wonderfully effective In the Christian development of our country. With religious education legislated out of our public-school system, almost entirely neglected In our homes, and not one family ID five or six connected with the Christian church, this suggests a condition savoring of cultured paganism. This ought not to discourage the Sunday-school worker, but rather challenge him to greater concentration and more valiant endeavor. If a review is desired, summarize the lessons by allowing twelve classes or twelve persons to each bring In a brief digest Lesson 1 gives us the testimony of John the Baptist concerning the one "mightier" than himself, "whose shoes he was not worthy to unloose." Lessen 2 shows the Impeccability of Jesus, in that he was "tempted In all points like as we are, yet without stn.M Lesson 8 reveals him as the holy one of God, with power over unclean spirits and other sicknesses. Lesson 4 shows us Jesus as 8avior who has power on earth to forgive sins. If he bo not the SOD of God the worship of Jesus Is nothing less than paganism or Idolatry. Lesson 5 shows us Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath. Lesson 6 as the Son of God, not only In his healing power but In his authority over unclean 8pirlts with power to delegate that authority to others. Lesson 7 shows Jesus as the great teacher who will bring forth abundant fruit and eternal life. Lesson • shows the marvelous germinal power of the divine seed. Lesson 9 shows Jesus as the 8on of God, whom even the winds and the sea must obey. Lessen 10 shows us Jesus as the 8on of God with power over death. Lesson 11 shows us Jesus as not only having authority over unclean spirits, but possessing power to Impart that authority to others, while Lesson 12 shows us his compassion upon the un8bepherded multitude, and the exercise of his divine creative power in feeding them. Of course such a review will be rapid and perhaps Incomplete, but it wih show that Jesus meets every situation and that his grace Is sufficient for all the conditions of life. It will also show that his words communicate vitality to society but that their effectiveness depends upon the response which Is accorded to them. If a test is required, of the pupUs, a set of questions covering the work of the quarter should be prepared and given to them a week in advance, from which a half dozen might be selected for written review during the class hour. This is no theoretical plan. The writer knows of many Sunday schools where written reviews are being successfully conducted. The Holy Land where Christ lived, suffered, died and rose again, has recently been captured from the control of the Ottoman empire, and current history indicates the probable early establishment of a Jewish state in this land of prophecy.

GOOD ROAD WANTED There is a piece of road one mile south of Pinckney in the township of Putnam that is a disgrace to the township. This road extends from Harris' corners to Geo. Hassencball's, and is a sea of mud from the first of March to the first or middle of May each year, aad jast why this ioad has not been improved is the eighth wonder of the world. Some time in the dim and misty past a petition signad by 84 Putnam township tax payers was presented to the township board praying for a state road to be constructed one mile west from Harris' corners. Some time in the dim and misty past the Putnam board ordered this road built, a survey was made blue prints were prepared and—that was all. In the meantime other roads have been built, some with petitions and some without petitions, but this road still contiuues to remain an eyesore in the sight of God and man. Now some may think that this is a by road, and that there is not much travel over it, but if these sceptics will station themselves out there any day during the summer season and especialy during the fishing season' they will soon be convinced of their error, as there is probably not a more travelled road in this township during this season And it would be used a great deal more were it not for the fact that for several days after each hard rain it is nearly impassable. Just why the south-west part of the township has been left off the good road map is a problem. It looks as though it was up to the township board to take some action in this matter.

For a year and a half u ntil he fell wounded in No Slip's I n l , this American soldier saw more actual fighting and resl warfare than any war correspondent who has written about the war. His experiences are grim but they are thrilling and lightened by a touchof humor as original as the Soldiers; Three. And they are true. "Over the Top" is the first story by one ofthe American soldiers who went to France, has been a real combatant { and has seen long service in the trench- j es. Sergeant Fmpey tells what it act ually means and feels like. ! To be wounded seven times; to live ) for a year and a half with mud and [ rats and shells; to be covered with j cooties and never to get rid of them; ] to go over the top in a charge; to grasp for your gas helmet when a second's ' delay means death; to capture a Pruss-, an; to get tangled up in barb wire with a machine gun working a few yards away: to He flor thirty six nours wounded and unconscious in "No Man's ! Land". [ Sergt. Empey's record is inspiring! Three years N. G. N. J . : four years I N. G. N. Y.: six years U. S.

Albion.—After having tried the war intensive program, with classes six days each week so as to close college in early May, the trustees and faculty of Albion college have agreed that the plan has serious drawbacks and have voted to go back next year to the former plan of classes only five days a week. This will give more time to athletics. Ann Arbor—Professor J. C, Parker, head of the electrical engineering faculty of the college of engineering in the University of Michigan, favors a deliberate artificial tax burden on the price of coal, based on the general observation that when things are cheap, people use them carelessly, and that as the price goes up the average citizen economizes. Detroit.—Carpenters and unskilled laborers are needed by the United States government for construction work at Washington. The government will pay 62 1-2 cents an hour for carpenters and 35 cents an hour for unskilled laborers, on a shift of eight hours a day. Time and one-half will be paid for overtime on a ten-hour shift. Free transportation will be allowed. Flint.—Laverne Herrlman, aged 8, who was run down by D. U. R, interurban car while walking on track south of Flint, died of fractured skull. The boy Is said to have boarded a car for Detroit and when the conductor found he had no money to pay his fare, he was put off at Atlas, the first station south of Flint. He started out to walk and was struck by a car from south. Mason.—Rev. Frank Gates Ellett, of this city, has announced he will be a candidate for the nomination for United States senator. Mr. Ellett says that the reconstruction work required after the' war, politically, socially, economically and Industrially, will cause bitter rivalry and that a seat in the United States senate will offer possibly the best opportunities for unselfish service to the world. Lansing.—The license ot E. Chappie Co., operating a flour mill and elevator at Belding, has been revoked for three weeks, by Geo. A. Prescott, state food administrator. H. L. Ousterhout was called here to answer charges that the mill sold flour without substitutes, sold wheat for chicken feed and took higher prices than the government has fixed. The announcement that the license had been revoked was made immediately after the close of the conference. Detroit.—John Des Champs, cadet aviator, the third Detroit flyer in the service of the United States to lose his life within a week, died at Wichita Falls, Tex., as the result of internal injuries suffered when his airplane fell several hundred feet at Call field.

"This is the foundation of the church, the Inscription on the banner of her armies, the strength and comfort of every Christian heart, and the grand hope of all humanity: ''The Lord is Risen, indeed." TRACED TO PAGAN CEREMONY WATCH FOR 0AWN OF EASTER Thousands Gather on Mountain of Southern California to Take Par*. - in Religious Cfemony. In one of the loveliest spots in southern CaHforuiu, rising above the green orange und lemon groves of the valley, stands a bare und rugged mountain peak. Crowning its highest point is a great wooden cross. Nearby on huge bowlders are swung two Iron bells, and set in another high bowlder Is a bronlse tablet recording that this mountain top Is dedicated to Fra Junipero Serra, a sturdy old Spanish priest who, many years before California came into the Union, many years before the revolution which created the Union, strode back and forth across the desert Chris* tianizing and civilizing the Indians. The annals of southern California are rich in stories of Fra Junipero Serra, Bret Harte, Joaquin Miller and many another poet have sung of bim. But nowhere does his actual spirit seem to dwell as on this lonely mountain. For every year, at the dawn of Easter, people of the valley and of the entire state climb the mountain and take part in a religious ceremony which cannot be duplicated in the world. All night before the event the roads are filled with pilgrims—in motorcars, in carriages and wagons and on foot. Greeting Dawn of Caster. Through the dark they travel in si lence for the most part, for the hour is solemn. Before the dawn there are as many as 30,000 people on that mountain top gazing into the pale eastern sky. Suddenly the pale sky is pierced by a pencil of golden light. Then an* other, and then the morning sun. A cornet solo halls it first, followed by the music and the chanting of the Mass. Would that It were given to every soul of us onci? a year to climb a mountain top with a great multitude and lift up our hearts to the pure dawn.—Rheto Chllde Dorr. Christian Anniversary of Easter and Worship of Goddese of Spring Have Been Mingled. It was through the effort* of the priests and teachers of the early Christian church that the Easter season was shorn of its pagan ceremonies and converted into a Christian anniversary. These priests, finding it impossible to Induce the German and Saxon tribes among whom they labored to renounce their worship of the Goddess of Spring—varioualv known as Osters. Rostra and Easue—-skilfully managed to give the ceremonies another tarn, proclaiming that the season celebrated the rising of Christ from the dead. Gradually, a^ the new religion gained ground, the old heathen superstitions died ont. The goddess Bastre was no longer revered, but her name was retained to designate what had now become the festival of the Resurrection. For the first three centuries of the Christian era Easter was celebrated on the same day as the Jewish Passover, but after much dis- EASTER FLOWERS.

In the transition to a Christian ob servance many features of the oldtime spring festival became embodied in the Easter celebration. The season was then, as now, dependent upon the phase* of the moon, about 'he sprint equinox.

IN THE SPRING will be the great test of a life and death straggle on the Western front. In the everyday walks of life, it is the spring time that brings ill health. One of the chief reasons why the run-down man finds himself in a bad state of health in March or April, is because he has spent nearly all hii hours for the past four or five months penned up within the walls of house, factory or once. It is the reason for our diminished resistance—that is, lack of oat-door life, coupled with perhaps over-eating, lack of good exercise, insufficient sleep, and constipation. In other words, we keep feeding the furnace with food but do not take out the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn brightly. Always keep the liver active. Xacrc is nothing better for health than taking an occasions! mttd laxative, perhaps'once a week; such a one as you can get at any drug store, made up of May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated, tiny, easily taken ), which has stood the test of fifty years of approval—namely. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. But for the "Spring Fever," the general run-down condition, the lack of ambition, the "blues," one should take a coarse of treatment trtrr spring; such a standard tonic as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, now to be had in tablet form in sixty-cent vials. Watch the people go plodding along the street. There's no spring, no vitality. A vitalising tonic each as this vegetable extract of Dr. Pierce's gives you the power to force yourself into action.

Try this spring tonic, and you gain the courage that comes with good health. When Taken to Calk Unless a man who is taken to call is of an abnormally lively conversational habit, quick-to think of something that may pass for a contribution to current thought, and even quicker to get it out, he had best accept his position as merely decorative, and try to be as decorative as possible. Either he must be so quick that the first words of his sentence have leaped into life before he is himself aware of what is to come hurrying after them, or he must be so slow that the only sentence he has Is still painfully climbing to the surface long after the proper time for its appearance has passed and been forgotten. Swallow It, my dear sir. swallow it. Silence, accompanied by a wise, appreciative glance of the eye, Is better; for a man who has mastered the art of the wise look does his wife credit, and Is taken home from a call with his faculties unimpaired and hi* self-respect undiminished; he is the same man as when he was taken out.— Atlantic.

Sergeant Empey tells what the fighting men have done and how they have done it. He knows because he was one of them. His experiences are grim, but they are thrilling, and they are lightened by a delightful touch of humor. CHAPTER I. From Mufti to Khaki. It was In an office In Jersey City. I was sitting at my desk talking to a lieutenant of the Jersey National Guard. On the wall was a big war map decorated with variously colored little flags showing the position of the opposing armies on the western front In France. In front of me on the desk lay a New York paper with big flaring headlines: LUS1TANIA 8 U N K I AMERICAN LIVE8 LOST! The windows were open and a feeling of spring pervaded the air. Through the open windows came the strains of a hurdy-gurdy playing In the street—"I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier." "Lnsltanla Sunk! American Lives Lost!"—"I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier." To us these did not seem to jibe. The lieutenant In silence opened one of the lower drawers of his desk and took from It an American flag which he solemnly draped over the war map on the wall. Then, turning to me with a grim face, said: * "How about It, sergeant? Ton had better get out the master roll of the Mounted Scouts, as I think they will be needed In the course of a few days." We busied ourselves till late In the evening writing out emergency tele* grams for the men to report when the call should come from Washington. Then we went home. I crossed over to New Tork, and as I went up Fulton street to take the subway to Brooklyn, the lights In the \ .. H"v --.> .V Jv \ v Quy Impey. tall buildings of New Tork seemed to be burning brighter than usual, as if they, toe, had read "Lusitania Bunk! American Lives Lost!** They seemed to be glowing with anger and righteous indignation, and their rays wigwagged the message, "Repay r Months passed, the telegrams lying bandy, bat covered with dust Then, one momentous morning the lieutenant with a sigh of disgust removed the l a g from the war map and returned to his deek. I immediately followed this action by throwing the telegrams into the wastebasket. Then we looked at each other In silence. He was squirming in his chair and I felt depressed and uneasy. The telephone rang and I answered i t It was a business call for me, requesting my services for an out-oftown assignment Business was not very good, so this was very welcome. After listening to the proposition I seemed to be swayed by a peculiarly strong force within me, and answered, "I am sorry that I cannot accept your offer, but I am leaving for England next week," and hung up the receiver. The lieutenant swung around in his chair, and stared at me in blank astonishment. A sinking sensation came over me. but I defiantly answered his look with, "Well, it's so. I'm going." And I went The trip across was uneventful. I landed at Tilbury, England, then got Into a string of matchbox cars and proceeded to London, arriving there about 10 p. m. I took a room in a hotel near St Pancras station for "five and six—fire extra." The room was minus the fire, but the "extra" seemed to keep me warm. That night there was a Zeppelin raid, but I didn't see much of i t because the slit in the curtains was too small and I had no destre to make it larger. Next morning the telephone bell rang, and someone asked, "Are you there?" I was, hardly. Anyway, I learned that the Zeps had returned to their fatherland, so I went out Into the street expecting to see scenes of awful devastation and a cowering populace, but everything was normal. People were calmly proceeding to their work. Crossing the street, I accosted a Bobbie with: * "Can you direct me to the place of damage?" He asked me, "What damage T In surprise. I answered, "Why, the damage caused by the Zeps." With a wink he replied: "There was no damage; we missed them again." After several fruitless Inquiries of the passersby, I decided to go on my own In search of ruined buildings and scenes of destruction. I boarded a bus which carried me through Tottenham Court road. Recruiting posters were everywhere. The one that Impressed me most was a life-size picture of Lord Kitchener with his finger pointing directly at me, under the caption of "Your King and Country Need You," No matter which way I turned, the accusing finger followed me. I was an American, In mufti, and had a little American flag In the lapel of my coat I had no king, and my country had seen fit not to need me, but still that pointing finger made me feel small and ill at ease. I got off the bus to try to dissipate this feeling by mixing with the thron? of the sidewalks. Presently I came to a recruiting office. Inside, sitting at a desk was a lonely Tommy Atkins. I decided to Interview him in regard to Joining the British army. I opened the door. He looked up and greeted me with "I s*y, myte, want to" tyke on?" I looked at him and answered, "Well, whatever that Is, 1*11 take a chance at It." Without the aid of an Interpreter. I found out that Tommy wanted to know if I cared to Join the British army. He asked met "Did you ever hear of the Royal Fusiliers?" Well, in London, you know, Yanks are supposed to know everything, so I was not going to appear Ignorant and answered, "Sure." After listening for one half-hour to Tommy's tale of their exploits on the firing line, I decided to Join. Tommy took me to the recruiting headquarters, where I met a typical English captain. He asked my nationality. I immediately pulled out my American passport and showed it to him. It was signed by Lansing. After looking at the passport he Informed me that be was sorry but could not enlist me, as It would be a breach of neutrality. I Insisted that I was not neutral, because to me it seemed that a real American could not be neutral when big things were In progress, but the captain would not enlist me. With disgust in my heart I went out in the street. I had gone about a block when a recruiting sergeant who had followed me out of the office tapped me on the shoulder with his swagger stick and said: "g*y, I can get yon In the army. We hare a leftenanf down at the other office who can do anything. He has Just ceme out of the 0. T. C. (Officers* Training corps) and does not know what neutrality Is." I decided to take a chauce, and accepted his invitation for an introduction to the lieutenant. I entered the office and went up to him, opened up my passport and said: "Before going further I wish to state that I am an American, not too proud to fight, and want to Join your army." He looked at me in a nonchalant manner, and answered, "That's all right; we take anything over here." I looked at him kind of hard and replied. "So 1 notice," but it went over his head. He got out an enlistment blank, and placing his finger on a blank line said, "Sign here." I answered, "Not on your tintype." "I beg your pardon?" Then I explained to him that I would not sign it without first reading it I read it over and signed for duration of war. Some of the recruits were lucky. They signed for seven years only I Then be asked me my birthplace. I answered, "Ogden, Utah." He said, "Oh, yes, Just outside of New York?" With a smile, I replied, "Well, it's up the state a little." Then I was taken before the doctor and passed as physically fit, and was issued a uniform. When I reported back to the lieutenant, he suggested that, being an American, I go on recruiting service and try to shame some of the slackers Into Joining the army." "All you have to do," he said, "Is to go out on the street, and when you see a young fellow in mufti who looks physically fit, Just stop him and give him this kind of a talk : 'Aren't you Swearing in a Recruit. ashamed of yourself, a Britisher, physically fit, and in mufti when your king and country need you? Don't you know that your country lg at war and that the place for every young Briton Is on the firing line? Here I am, an American, in khaki, who came four thousand miles to fight for your king and country, and you, as yet, have not enlisted. Why don't yon Join? Now is the time.' "This argument ought to get many recruits, Empey, so go oat and see what you can do." He then gave me a small rosette of red, white and blue ribbon, with three little streamers hanging down. This was the recruiting insignia and was to be worn on the left side of the cap Armed with a swagger stick and my patriotic rosette, I went out into Tottenham Court road in quest of cannon fodder. Two or three poorly dressed civilians passed me, and although they appeared physically fit, I said to myself, "They don't want to Join the army; perhaps they have someone dependent on them for support," so I did not accost them. Coming down the street I saw a young dandy, top hat and all, with a fashionably dressed girl walking beside him. I muttered. Ton are my meat," and when he came abreast of me I stepped directly in his path and stopped him with my twagger stick, saying: "You would look fine In khaki; why not change that top hat for a steel helmet? Aren't you ashamed of yourself, a husky young chap like yon In mufti when men are Beaded in the trenches? Here I am, an American, came four thousand miles from Ogden, Utah, Just outside of New York, to fight for your king and country. Don't be a slacker, buck up and get into uniform ; come ov*r to the recruiting office and 111 have you enlisted." He yawned and answered, HI dont care If you came, forty thousand miles, no one asked you to,** and be waited on. The girl gave me a sneering look; I was speechless. I recruited for three weeks sod near* ly got one recruit This perhaps was not the great**, stnnt In the world, but It got back at the officer who had told me, "Yes, wt take anything over hem," I had been spending a good lot of my recruiting time In the saloon bar of the Wheat «beef pub (there was a very attractive Monde barmaid, who helped kill time— I was not as serious in those days as I was a little later when I reached the front)—well,, it was the sixth day and my recruiting report was blank, 1 was getting low In the pocket—bar-* maids haven't much use for anyone who cannot buy drinks—so I looked around for recruiiing material. You know a man on recruiting service gets a "bob" or shilling for every recruit he entices Into joining the army, the recruit is supposed to get this, but he would not be a recruit It he were wise to this fact, would he? Down at the end of the bar was a young fellow in mufti who was very patriotic—he had about four "Old Six" ales aboard. He asked me if he could Join, showed me his left hand, two fingers were missing, but I said that did not matter as "we take anything over here." The left hand is the rifle hand as the piece is carried at the slope on the left shoulder. Near* ly everything in England is "by the left," even general traffic keeps to the port side. I took the applicant over to headquarters, where he was hurriedly examined. Recruiting surgeons were busy in those days and did not have much, time for thorough physical examinations. My recruit was passed %s "fit" by the doctor and turned over to a corporal to make note of his scare. I was mystified. Suddenly the corporal burst out with, "Bllme me, two of his fingers are gone." Turning to me he said, "You certainly have your nerve with you, not 'alf you ain't, to bring this beggar In." The doctor came over and exploded, "What do you mean by bringing in a man in this condition?" Looking out of the corner of my eye I noticed that the officer who had recruited me had Joined the group, and I could not help answering, "Well, sir, I was told that you took anything over here." I think they called it "Yankee impudence," anyhow it ended my recruiting. In training quarters, "somewhere In France," Empey hears the big guns booming and makes the acquaintance of the "cooties."

After a time he and the man engaged In a casual conversation and the stranger tinaliy said: "You look somewhat like a clergyman, sir." "Well, I am one," said Bishop Greer, "Oh," said the raan, "is that so? Episcopal, 1 should imagine?" "Yes," nodded the bishop. "Your work is here in New York, I suppose?" the man continued. "Yes," said the bishop. "Just what is your parish?" asked the stranger. "Well," answered Bishop Greer, "1 really haven't any definite parish. I— er—" "Some sort of a bishop, then, I assume,' said the man. The waiter nt this time brought Bishop Greer his check. "Y<*s," he answered as he rose to go, "I'm some sort of a bishop."

Without good red blood a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. In the spring is the best time to take stock of one's condition. If the blood Is thin and watery, face pale or pimply, generally weak, tired and listless, one should take a spring tonic. One that will do the spring housecleaning, an old-fashioned herbal remedy that was used by everybody nearly 60 years ago is still safe and sane because it contains no alcohol or narcotic. It Is made up of Blood root. Golden Seal root, Oregon Grape root, Queen's root, Stone root, Black Cherry bark—extracted with glycerine and made into liquid or tablets. This blood tonic was first put out by Dr. Pierce In ready-to-use form and since then has been sold by million bottles as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

Clothes Economy Fashion's Problem New York.--Women are of many mlnds concerning clothes. Some Insist thai they will have everything made In Uie house, giving the seamstresses a cliuuce to live; that they will study the best fashions for lusplraUoau.1 work in their own sewing rooms. Others Insist that they will spend thin spring altering clothes that are almost as good as new, while others say that It Is"patriotic to spend. It Is quite well, observes a prominent fashion writer, that there are segments of differing thought. The continent is so full of women that they can group themselves into thousands of units, each with but a single purpose, and everybody will be benefited. Every woman does not see economy In the same way. It would be foolish therefore, to preach the same sermon to the mass. There is no doubt that several thousands of women are debating, with intelligence and with a stimulating effort at sacrifice, this question of spring costumery; but, as far ax the prophet can see into the future, business will not suffer by this discussion. Skirts Very Narrow. Skirts, for instance: The slightest flare at any seam makes even a conservative woman wearing such a garment wish she had stayed at home or remodeled her gown before she went 8urplice bodice for evening. It belongs to an oriental gown, which hat a net tunic caught at one tide and embroldered In gold. The satin skirt Is edged with monkey-fur fringe. The acarf is of currant-colored tulle. out. Fortunately, the alteration from a wide to a narrow silhouette Is mastered even by those who do not claim to be experts. The seams of a tailored skirt, for Instance, are merely ripped upward from the bottom and taken In as a continuation of the straight line from the hips. The hem of frocks cannot be handled in so simple a way; but, fortunately for the economical woman, or the one whose patriotism has made her think that she should be economical in this question of apparel, the French have handed us out in a generous manner two of three very clever tricks that will turn the old Into the new. One of them is the holding in of a slightly full skirt by a loose bund be- BEAUTY OF ORGANDIE BLOUSE Garment la Usually Trimmed With Plcoted Ruffles of Self Material, Finished with Touch of Ribbon. The organdie blouses of the smock variety are lovely enough to have stepped from the porticoes and leafy reranda of a Southern home. They are feminine, indeed, as Dickens' heroines, and perhaps a little bit leas infirm. AM a rnle they are trimmed with plcoted ruffle* of self material and are flnlabed with a touch of ribbon. Among thoee noted recently was one In a pencil shade of organdie with a rolling collar of the same material bordered by plcoted ruffles, tiny, and perhaps six In nnmber. The sleeves, which were rather tight, terminated in a bellshaped cuff, also bordered by the plcoted ruffles, and at the top of these enffs flnttered out * bit of narrow groegrain ribbon tn French bine, a note repeated In the tie of the collar. Another organdie blouse cornea in delicate blue and here the plcoted ruffles offer an opportunity for color. These are of orchid, which deepena In low the knees, finishing in u bow at the side. Another trick Is the gathering In of the fullness at the side of u skirt to a straight, embroidered baud, which is strongly reminiscent of the first hobble skirts. The women in the sewing room finds delLght in the fact that fullness is not taboo. She realizes that she can have whatever material she desires In a skirt If It does not flare away from the hips or the knees. What the French call the "jupe tonneuu" has a certain popularity, and the woman who owns a skirt of this kind (with its pannier effect at the sides, achieved through umbrella folds, and its close, narrow hem) may leave It as it is. It satisfies the appetite of fashion todav. The advent of the short sleeve in frocks, blouses, jackets and even top coats is startling to the American mind. We invented the elbow sleeve and forced it upon Paris. The word "invent" is, of course, a bad one to use in fashions, because everything has been, and therefore, everything is merely "revived." When the elbow sleeve was co-sldered by Paris as an American fashion projected through the demand for convenience, it was looked upon by the ultra-smart French designer as part and parcel of that work-a-day costumery which the Americans demanded and wijh which the European elegante would have nothing to do. We were called a working people. After a while Europe as well as America adopted the short sleeve, and those in this country who were fastidious begun to side with the French in their belief that the fashion was in elegant. For three years we witnessed streets filled with girls who wore elbow sleeves in separate white blouses, with Dutch necks,,no collars, no gloves, and separate skirts. That was an ugly day in costumery. Let us hope that It will not be revived, although there Is every evidence that the seeds of this evil have already been sown. But these short sleeves, which were worn In the Dlrectolre with every kind of gown and which were practically covered by rare old cashmere shawls, are not the only short ones that this spring has produced. We are evidently in for a reign of abreviated arm coverings, Inspiration for which has been gotten from all the centuries. The Surplice Movement Wins. Another change in the direction of fabrics across the body has been made by the French, and to follow it will require ingenious alterations on the part of the American woman. Evidently there is an Idea that the fewer the buttons the better the frock. We have gone back to the time when strings held fabrics together and the cloth was cut In such a way that It remained where It was placed on the body. Possibly It would be more comprehensive to put the whole thing into the statement that the more we are wrapped across the body the better dressed we are today. This movement of fahric finds Its most commonplace exploitation In the surplice bodice or j a c k e t Afternoon gowns and the most elaborate evening frocks have bodices that are merely elongated scarfs with annhotee. They wrap around the figure at the waist* line and the back, front or sides. Separate surplice bodices are not considered toq ignoble to be attached to a brilliant evening skirt. When the latter is of diaphanous and frivolous fabric the bodice may be of satin, brocade or tissue, and when it finishes Its bias movement about the figure It Is held at the side with a great gold rose, (Copyright, 1918. by the McCture Newspaper Syndicate.) tint when it is used for neck ribbons and for the wide zouave sasH of satin. Buttoned Gaiters. It Is lucky for the shoe dealers that buttoned gaiters have been established, f i r pretty pumps go right on being popular and left-over summer pumps do not go back Into the stockroom to make way for boots and shoes of more traditional winter type. Women love the gaiter and pump combination, for not only are the slim, dainty pumps most becoming to the feet, but it Is easy to slip off the buttoned gaiter when one comes indoors, leaving the foot comfortably and appropriately clothed in a high-heeled pump. Novertlea in Gloves. Some recently arrived gloves from Paris are of gray suede with pipings of white suede and embroidery In mauve and white. Another pair is of white glace kid with purple embroidery on the backs and a -turned down purple velvet cuff reaching almost to the fingers. Even more lively are tan suede gloves with embroidery and piping la red. E IN THE FARMER'S LIFE "Making a Living" Idea Has Developed Into a "Money Making Fact." A few years ago—and not so many at that—most farmers were satisfied If they saw ahead of them the opportunity to make a fair living, a reasonable competence in their fulling years, und an assurance of an existence for their families. They worked hard, and tilled their acres with this end in view. Honest struggle, earnest effort and u true conception of upright manhood, together with the increasing knowledge that upon the fruits of their endeavor rested the structure of the world, whose people had to be fed and maintained. Economy in method, improved conditions of working, have added to the farmer's possibilities, and today instead of being a plodder for an existence, which his early training had bred into him, he has become the bulwark of the nation, and, as such, has become elevated to a position where his word and his work are recognized as the factors it was always intended they should be. He is now the man of business—of big business. He has forced an appreciation of his work, and the true value has been placed upon it. The big men of the country today are the farmers, who, with business acumen and forensic forethought are able to tell you—from their books—what it costs to produce a bushel of Wheat or a ponnd of wool. Ail of which is intended to prove that farming is a business, as much as banking or selling a suit of clothes. It Is an industrial business,, with more certain profits than accompany any other line of trade. It is a manufacturing enterprise, devoid of any of the dangers that the frills of fashion's follies and desires force upon ordinary pursuits. Food is something that all must have and the farmer produces It. The cheaper It can be produced the less will be the cost to the consumer. And this Is one of the chief thoughts of the farmer. Within the memory of the ten-year-old boy there have been Improvements In machinery, changes In methods, scientific discoveries of chemicals as adapted to agriculture, all of which have lessened cost of production and made possible the cultivation of increased acres. In some parts these things have brought about more Intensified agriculture, growing heavier crops on less acres. Improved machinery and demand for greater production have led another class In search of larger areas, where their ability may cope with the growing of a greater number of bushels. That Is one of the reasons why Western Canada lands have recently come Into such demand. These, at from twenty to thirty dollars an acre, and producing the prodigious crops that are claimed for them, have attracted thousands of American settlers, while other thousands have gone out Into the lands ID the Western states. But, as to the Canada lands, there Is this to say of them, today they are cheap, and If they will yield sufficient in one year to pay the cost of the entire purchase, why should not there be a demand. The country is well settled, and settlement Is Increasing. As evidence of the growth of the three Western Provinces Into whose territories the Canadian Government Invites settlers, recent, reports show the following increases from 1913 to 1917 Inclusive: Value of Field Crops 1913 1917 Manitoba ...$64,557,000 $137,470,550 Saskatchewan 129,376,000 349.488.200 Alberta 46,712,000 176.905,800 Total $240,645,000 $663,924,550 The total value of field crops for 1917 was $663,924,550, produced on less than 59.000,000 acres of land. Further evidence of prosperity and progress is found in the Government estimate of the value of farm lands, and Increase tn value since 1908: 1908 1916 Manitoba 27.30 32.03 Saskatchewan 20.40 23.07 Alberta 18J20 22.18 It will be observed that the average price of lands has not kept pace with their producing value. It is therefore pointed out that the opportunities for the purchase of high-class land is still within the reach of those with limited means. A good Idea of advancement In a country's progress may be obtained by a knowledge of what has been, done tn the production of cnttle, and when these figures are studied In connection with Western Canada, a country whose fame having been heralded as a graingrowing country, giving the idea that that was what it was mostly adapted to, It -vill be realized that there Is there a vast storehouse of wealth awaiting those who choose to take advantage of it. In the three provinces In 1912 there were—horses, milch cows, other cattle, sheep and swine, four million head, while in 1917 the number was seven million. In 1901 the entire population was 419,512; In 191« 1,0U8,220. One marvels at the rapid progress of the United States during the nineteenth century. But America's opportunities for growth at the beginning of that century were nothing compared to the opportunities which are Canadu's at the present time. The fact that Canada has as its next door neighbor a .nation of over 100,000,- 000—the richest nation in the world— is bound to have a stimulating effect on its progress. Already one sees signs of it on every hand. Canada not only has the largest area of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any country, but this land is already made available by a network of railways. Cost of production of grain is lower than elsewhere, while the prices are on a basis of those of the United, States.—Advertisement. In the Soup. A rookie was home on a furlough.

EARLY AMBER IS THE BEST Is Early Maturing Variety and So is Most Suited to Michigan Climatic Conditions. From Department of Farm Crops Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—One of the many interesting minor effects of the war upon Michigan agriculture which tn the southern and central counties of the state appears to be quite general, is a growing demand among fanners for sorghum seed. This demand has already assumed such unprecedented proportions that many seedmen are forecasting that if It continues, as now seems not unlikely, the visible (April) supply will all of It be melted away long before the planting season arrives. Sorghum, as a crop both for forage and sirup-making is, however, by no means a new one in Michigan. There was a time not so long ago in fact when the sorghum press, where the juice was squeezed out of the cane, was just as common a feature In Michigan's rural communities as the cider mill—and for that matter there are still some sections where farmers raise sorghum to supply sweets for the family table. But there will be many more farms upon which this will be done this season, for with sugar dally growing scarcer and commanding a price, which compels the utmost economy, corn sorghum sirup will find a /welcome place on the family table, and a ready sale on* the market. The seed corn shortage ts at the same time causing many other farmers to consider the advisability of putting in sorghum as a forage crop—though the dearth of sorghum seed is almost as pronounced, if not more so, than is the seed corn shortage. What and When to Plant. Sorghums are planted from ten days to two weeks after corn, for the seeds are small, and If the ground is cold they do not germinate well and a poor stand results. Early amber, an early maturing variety, is probably the best adapted to Michigan conditions. The land Is prepared for sorghum in much the same way as for core. The crop makes a slow growth at first and it is essential to get rid of as many weeds as possible before planting. For sirup the rows are drilled 88 to 42 inches apart with a corn planter, using 6 to 8 pounds of seed per acre. The method of cultivation Is the same as for corn. The first cultivation can be given with spike tooth harrow, and is quite effective in killing young weeds. The next cultivation should be with shovels or sweeps, deeply the first time ,with two or three shallow cultivations following. Harvesting For 8irup. Sorghum increases in percentage of sugar as well as In total dry matter nntil it is mature. From the early dough stage until the hard dough stage Is the right time for sirup making. If the seeds become hard there is danger of frost before all of the canes are made up, while If the seeds are in the milk stage an acid sirup with an unripe taste Is produced. For best results the leaves are stripped while canes are standing. The need head, with six or eight Im ies of the upper cane should be cut off, as this part contains many impurities. Suckers should be discarded for the same reason. Canes may be cut by hand, or with the corn binder. In warm weather canes should not be cut more than two days before using as there is danger of fermentation. When a heavy frost occurs the sorghum should be cut and placed In large shocks at once. A heavy freeze will do but little damage provided the canes can be worked up at once upon thawing but after thawing they will spoil In a very short time. A ton of canes will yield 500 to 1,000 pounds of juice which will make 8 to 25 gallons of sirup. Four to eight tons of canes per acre Is a good yield. Making Sirup. The sirup manufacturing process consists of three main stages—(1) Extraction of Juice; (2) clarification of raw Juice and (8) evaporation of Juice. The extraction is done by passing the cane between rollers. Two-roller and three-roller mills can be purchased. Seventy to 80 per cent of the canes are water, but It Is not possible to obtain all of this as juice. With a threeroller mill 50 per cent of the weight of the cane should be obtained unless the cane Is very hard and dry. The canes after being passed through the mill can be need for roughage. Oftencomes from the mill should be nm through a strainer made of fine wire (the same as is used for straining milk) into a settling tank or barrel, ulao used for storage. There should be three tanks, one being tilled, while one la being emptied and the third settling. Raw Juice holds in solutions a number of Impurities, which on standing slowly settle out. These are good hog feed. Some makers provide special tanks and cla«ify by heating. The temperature of the juice is brought nearly to the boiling point and then the heat Is turned off and the juice allowed to stand for a short time. The clear layer is then drawn off tor evaporation. This process is to be preferred since heat hastens clarlheation. Evaporation. A patent pan evaporator can be bought on the market. Do not put too much sirup In the evaporator at once as a thin layer (about two inches) makes a quicker evaporation and allows the impurities to reach the surface more easily and less color Is developed. If an ordinary gutter is placed alongside the pan when installed, the scum can be raked off into this. In starting a patent evaporator have water in all parts and heat this until the juice enters. The finished sirup upon cooling should have a moisture content of not over 30 per eent. One gallon should weigh not less than 11¼ pounds. As the liquid thickens the boiling point Is raised. Water at ordinary pressure bolls a t 212 degrees Fahrenheit, while a sugar solution containing not more than 30 per cent of water bolls at about 224 degrees Fahrenheit. When the boiling point changes from 212 degrees to 224 degrees the product is ready to remove from the fire. If an accurate thermometer is placed in the boiling sirup a rough estimate of the density of the product can be made. In taking the temperature do not allow the bulb of the thermometer to touch the bottom or sides of the evaporator or be exposed above the surface of the liquid. When the sirup has reached the proper density it should be removed from the fire and rapidly cooled. If cooled it makes a lighter sirup and a better grade. The sirup can be placed in tin, glass or wooden containers but these should be well scalded before using. Sorghum for Forage. Since the foliage of sorghums remains green until the heads are mature, a fair quality of coarse forage Is secured. The time of planting is the same as for simp, that is, ten days to two weeks after corn planting time. Sorghum for forage Is either sown thick in drill rows about 3 feet 6 inches apart at rate of 15 pounds seed per acre and cultivated, or sown with the grain drill or broadcast at the rate of one bushel per acre. When cultivated in rows the best method of harvesting is with a corn binder and the bundles set up in small shocks may be set together in a large shock and tied near the top. When sown broadcast the crop Is cut with a mower or grain binder and handled as coarse hay. When cut with a mower a stubble of six inches should be left as this facilitates drying and gathering the heavy fodder with a hay rake. Heavy sorghum hajr dries very slowly and should be left for one or two weeks In swath before raking and cocking- and should be thoroughly cured in cocks before stacking. The average yield carries from 4 to 8 tons per acre. COUNTRY PASTORS TO MEET Annusl Conference W i l l Be Conducted at M. A.

"•y-M e 3 l GERMANS SUFFER L First Week of Great Battle Described in Detail. HEROISM OF THE BRITISH Retiring Slowly to the Somme, They Exact Awful Payment for Every Foot Gained by the Kaiser's Hordes. London.—Details of the first week of the great battle in France show that, while the fighting has beeu more severe than In any previous offensive, there has been no cause for pessimism. The German losses have been terrific, probably 250,000 casualties having beeu suffered by the kaiser's hosts. At such cost they won less than onethird of the ground on which they had counted. The morale of the British troops has been perfect throughout and they have fought magnificently. Million Germans in Action. These facts stand out: It Is known that at least 1,000,000 Germans were engaged on the whole front of attack. In the Somme area not less than 52 array divisions were identified. The British line suffered its most severe buffeting in this stretch, but was firm everywhere. The Germans believed that a loss of 500,000 would be a cheap price for success In the west, but with a loss already of 250,000 there Is no prospect of their attaining the victory they see£. 'they regained all the ground lost in the Cambrai battle and have taken back sections of the territory taken from them in the Somme offensive of last year. The fighting was not by any means a continual German advance. The British counter-nttacked heavily and fought for every foot of ground. Details of the Fighting. In one battle on the extreme left the Germans employed not less than nine divisions In an effort to break through. For three days the three British divisions held them at bay. Finally, under weight of numbers, the British retired behind the line marked by the ruined villages of Bullecourt, East Noguell and Croiselles. The next morning the Germans renewed the attack, striking northward from Fontainelles and Croiselles and westward from Cherlssy. They drove In mass formation, wave after wave, toward the heights between Henln-sur- Cojeul to Heniu hill. Two hours of drum fire, In which gas and high-explosive shells were mingled, preceded the infantry attack. From eight o'clock in the morning until noon continuous waves of gray-clad troops stormed the heights, - British machine guns posted on the ridge swept down line after line of Germans. By three o'clock in the afternoon the Teutons had succeeded In pressing past Henln hill on both sides and threatened to cut off the machine gunners posted on the crests. Not until then did the latter retire and rejoin the main British force. Similar fighting was going on at the same time on the right wing. Tremendous pressure was brought to bear around St. Leger, Vaux and Vraucourt It lasted all day. At times under the German blows the British line sagged heavily, but at no point did it give way. Desperate Defense of Vaulx. A bitter battle was fought for possession of Vaulx, but British machine gunners posted In the ruins of the village held the Germans at bay. A ruined factory served as a fortress despite the shelling to which It was subjected. Not until late in the afternoon was It impossible for the British to hold the town longer. Even then the retreat only went for a thousand yards. The British rear guard fought every step of the way, and, returning to the main body, a counter-attack was launched against the Germans in possession of Vaulx and the village was regained. The fighting continued all night. Finally Vaulx had to be abandoned before heavy night attacks, but only because German forces had pushed past farther up the line and were driving to the attack of Mory. Another hitter struggle was fought around Croiselles. At Mory Scottish and Engliah troops Inflicted tremen* dons lottes on the Germans. Sunday Battle South of Peronne. Yhe fighting Sunday was tremendous. All day long heavy forces of Germans endeavored to force a crossing of the Somme south of Peronne, while further along the line they concentrated their efforts against Batlcally at point range smashed every effort:. On some occasions British In fuutry, eounter-uuuckiug, dushed Into the water to tight the Germans. With the object of capturing Drvlllers and Essiguy, southwest of St. Quentin, the Germans employed at least six divisions, or 72,000 men ot storming troops, the 50th, 45th (reserves), n t h , 88th, 187th and 238th, In the proportion of one division lo every British battalion. The averane width of each attack was 2,000 yards. Ten Tanks Wreak Havoc Amid Fo«. Passing through Urvillers, ttiere was a bloody struggle in a chalk quarry, where muny German dead now lie. After the Germans had come some way forward ten British tanks drove into them and shattered some of their battalions with their machine-gun fire, dispersing groups of the advancing units. The British fought many rear guard actions and made numerous counterattacks in the neighborhood of Roisel, falling back to the line of the Somme only when new masses of Germans passed through those battalions which they had not met and beaten. Between Gozeaucourt and Epephy occurred a most desperate struggle* The Germans attacked in overwhelming strength. Their previous bombardment had had little effect and the British troops had suffered but slightly. The weather was misty, and, screened by this mist, the Germans were on top of the British before the latter were aware of it. In dense formation they came on, offering excellent targets. Grouad was yielded by | the British only i n d e r pressure of overwhelming numfers. Heroic Deeds of the British. Fighting Saturday between Arras and Bapaume for possession of the heights between the Cojeul and Sensee rivers was especially bitter. Outnumbered eight to one, the British troops clung to their positions to the last. In Gauche wood, where Scots and South Africans were placed, another terrific struggle ensued. The Germans several times managed to reach the wood but were repeatedly thrown back. Their losses in killed were especially heavy, as they came on in mass formation. Attempt after attempt was frustrated. From a height below Gauche wood known as Chapel hill to Epephy three German divisions and parts of a fourth were thrown against the British. At one point the enemy was actually among the British advance posts before he was discovered. The fog thoroughly screened him. Waves of Germans flowed past the farm and around it, but In the farm itself the Leicesters held out, fighting and refusing to surrender until every man was killed or so severely wounded he could fight no more. The British showed the greatest strength between Bapaume and Peronne and above Bapaume as far as Arras. The Germans, however, con- | cerned with the southern flank, at the Franco-British junction point, concentrated their most terrific blows against the Peronne-Ham--Chauny line, relying on tho necessity of an automatic British withdrawal in the north If their line was bent or broken In the south. Bapaume was an obstacle on the northern side, to capture which they sacrificed thousands of their best troops. Rivers of blood were shed for the town's possession In a combat that lasted almost all night, until the British finally yielded the ruins, after having exacted a fearful price. Kaiser Orders Jubilation. The kaiser was with Field Marshal von Hindenburg in Peronne surveying the bloody fields where thousands of his best fighting men were killed or maimed before the British finally withdrew. The emperor ordered a general Jubilation throughout the empire, rockets n*d flags and a holiday for the children being the chief symbols of celebration. He conferred a gold inlaid iron cross on Hindenburg. • Wilhelra also sent dispatches to the empress telling of the progress made by his armies. -r; Repeatedly German engineers attempted to throw pontoon bridges the river. On the near-by British field guns firing prae- Too Many Prunes. Portland, Ore.—Prune growers say that before the wnr closed the market, the chief buyers of Northwestern and California prunes was Hamburg, Germany. Now, with that market closed, the growers are trying to find other markets to take enre of the big surplus of their crop that boarding house residents will not eat. War on Magpies. Denver, Colo.—Colorado has declared war on the magpie. Walter B. Fraaer, state game .and fish commissioner, Is directing the campaign.

Subscriptions to Liberty Loan, Investment in Thrift Stamps, Contributions of Clothing, Conservation of Food Necessary to Win. (By GELETT BURQE88 of the Vigilantes and the Prophet Isaiah.) Yes, I, too, saw them, many I saw, Indoors and out, at the theater and at the rink, knitting, oh no, not khaki gray, but the gay colors of frivolity, knitting pink and yellow and white; knitting sweaters, sweaters, God help them, for their own soft shoulders. Yet In the trenches of France our soldiers are shivering, shivering, freezing for gray, gray, GRAY! And thou saldst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of t t Waste makes want and want makes woe I Does not England already know? It has gone from Spend to Save, from Scrimp to Starve. Do you know, oh careless daughters, that there even the garbage cans are inspected for waste?—that one is fined for throwing away a slice of hread? Yet here often more food is wasted at one dinner than would feed a family. Yes, wasted today—but what of tomorrow? Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of Joy in the Joyous city. Ice cream sodas and cakes and confectionery, hats, bags and hosiery— do you, too, watch and wonder how the young girls fling away the future? Yet, still uncared-for, the orphans of France and Belgium, Serbia, thousands wait suffering to be fed. And OUR orphans—when the great shock falls—shall they, to, not need all that we can save? Therefore hear now this, thou that are given to pleasure, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest In thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children. It Is so easy to do—to save. It 1» so hurd to do—to supply what prodigality has squandered. It is so simple to do—to lend what we save to the government that our neighbor's fate may be averted or diminished. Now, now, NOW! Must our sluggards, male and female have to go to the ant to take heed—to comprehend how, If each lays up grain of provision agnlnst want, the whole hill shall be saved? Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women : for the vintage shall fall, the gathering shall not come. Every cent selfishly, thoughtlessly spent, robs sufferers abroad, robs our soldiers, robs our own future. Every cent patriotically lent to Thrift campaign or Liberty Loan, brings peace nearer—nearer! Rise up, ye women that are at ease: hear ray voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. WE MUST HANG TOGETHER (By THEODOSIA GARRISON of the Vigilantes.) Said Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, putting down the pen with which he had Just signed the Declaration of Independence: "Gentlemen, we must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately." In a single phrase he combined an epigram, a warning, a declaration of faith and, incidentally, framed a motto for the present generation. The value of team work for the national good is unquestioned; the value of the individual beyond the share he contributes to the general power Is negligible. This undented fact acknowledged by everybody and more often quoted than applied, waited to be demonstrated in its entirety by the Imperial German government who, after Its fashion, lost no time In claiming it as a personal discovery, marking It with the "Made In Germany" Rtamp and promptly christening It "efficiency." Mind you, it is the German governm e n t that has made Its people efficient and tfiftt hy the simple and direct method of the-brutal overseer who lashed a gang of slaves iBto^the perfect workmen that produced tfce 1Q0 per cent result he desired. The Individual who with all his heart wishes a certain thing accomplished doesn't have to be whipped Into his work, and the difference between slavery and freedom, between autocracy and democracy, lies in that-Individual himself. "The nation," says President Wilson, "needs all men, but It needs each man, not in the field that will most pleasure htm, but in the endeavor that will best *erve the common good." ^ ; - * - ft 3i* PINCKNEV DISPATCH WED I I TOP MAilDKM S0LHER WHO WENT * * AffillGUYffiPtY MAdlNE GUN[ia,XRYINGIM fBAHCE ' ©JSI7 BY AATmX tin tttfEY "SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE" EMPEY FIRST HEARS THE BIG GUNS BOOMING. Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusltanla, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private In the British army. CHAPTER II. —2— Blighty to Rest Billets. The next morning the captain sent for me and Informed me: "Empey, as a recruiting sergeant you are a washoat," and 'sent me to a training depot- After arriving at this place, I was hustled to the quartermaster stores and received an awful shock. The quartermaster sergeant spread a waterproof sheet on the ground and commenced throwing a miscellaneous assortment of straps, buckles and other paraphernalia into It. I thought he would never stop, but when the pile reached to my knees he paused long enough to say, "Next, No. 5217, 'Arris, B company." I gased in bewilderment at the pile of Junk In front of me, and then my eyes wandered around looking for the wagon which was to carry it to barracks. I was rudely brought to earth by the "quarter" exclaiming, 44'Ere, you, 'op It; tyke It aw'y; blind ray eyes, V s looking for 'is batman to 'elp 'lm carry It." Struggling under the load, with frequent pauses for rest, I reached our barracks (large car barns), and my platoon leader came to the rescue. It was a marvel to me how quickly he assembled the equipment. After he had completed the task, he showed me how to adjust It on my person. Pretty soon I stood before him a proper Tommy Atkins in heavy marching order, feeling like an overloaded camel. On my feet were heavy-soled boots, studded with hobnails, the toes and heels of which were re-enforced by steel half-moons. My legs were Incased In woolen puttees, olive drab in color* with my trousers overlapping thetn at the top. Then a woolen khaki tunic, under which was a bluish gray woolen shirt, minus a collar; beneath this shirt a woolen belly band about six inches wide, held in place by tie strings of white tape. On my head was a heavy woolen trench %cap, with hnge earlaps buttoned over the top. Then the equipment: A canvas belt with ammunition pockets; and two wide canvas straps like suspenders, called "D" straps, fastened to the belt in front, passing over each shoulder, crossing in the middle of my back, and attached by buckles to the rear of the belt On the right side of the belt hung a water bottle, covered with felt; on the left side was my bayonet and scabbard, and intrenching tool handle, this handle strapped to the bayonet scabbard. In the rear was my intrenching tool, carried In a canvas case. This tool was a combination pick and spade. A canvas haversack was strapped to the left side of the belt while on my back was the pack, also of canvas, held in place by two canvas straps over the shoulders; suspended on the bottom of the pack was my mess tin*or canteen in a neat little canvas case. My waterproof sheet, looking like a Jelly roll, was strapped on top of the pack, with a wooden stick for cleaning the breach of the rifle projecting from each end. On a lanyard around my waist hung a huge Jackknife with a can-opener attachment The pack contained my overcoat sn extra pair of socks, change of underwear, hold all (containing knife, fork, spoon, comb, toothbrush, lather brush, shaving soap, and a rasor made of tin, with "Made In England** stamped on the blade; when trying to shave with this It made yon wish that yon were at war with Patagonia, so that yon could have a "hollow ground** stamped "Made In Germany"); then your bouse, wife, button-cleaning outfit consisting of a brass button stick, two stiff brashes, and a box of "Soldiers* Friend** paste; then a shoe brush and a box of dubbin, a writing pad. Indelible pencil, envelopes, and pay book, and personal belongings, such as a •man mirror, a decent rasor and a sheaf of unanswered letters, and fags. In your haversack yon carry your iron rations, meaning a tin of buHy boat; four Weentts and a can containing tea. sugar and Oxo cubes; a couple of pipes and a pack of shag, a tin of rifle oil, and a pull-through. Tommy generally carries the oil with his rations; It gives the cheese a sort of sardine taste. Add to this a first-aid pouch and a long, ungainly rifle patterned after the Daniel Boone period, and you have an Idea of a British soldier In Blighty. Before leaving for France, this rifle is taken from him and he Is issued with a Lee-Enfleld short trench rifle and a ration bag. In France he receives two gas helmets, a sheepskin coat, rubber mackintosh, steel helmet, two blankets, tearshell goggles, a balaclava helmet gloves and a tin of antlfrostblte grease which Is excellent for greasing the boots. Add to this the weight of his rations, and can you blame Tommy for growling at a twenty-kilo route march? Having served as sergeant major in the United States cavalry, I tried to tell the English drill sergeants their business, but It did not work. They immediately put me as batman In their mesa. Many a greasy dish of stew was accidentally spilled over them. I would sooner fight than be a waiter, so when the order came through from headquarters calling for a draft of 250 re-enforcements for France, I volunteered. Then we went before the M. O. (medical officer) for another physical examination. This was very brief. He asked our names and numbers and The Author's Identification Disk. said "Fit" and we went out to fight We were put Into troop trains and sent to Southampton, where we detrained, and had our trench rifles Issued to us. Then (n columns of twos we went up the gangplank of a little steamer lying alongside the dock. At the head of the gangplank there was an old sergeant who directed that we line ourselves along both rails of the shin. Then he ordered ns to take life belts from the racks overhead and pot them on. I have crossed the ocean several times and knew I was not seasick, but when I buckled on that life belt I had a sensation of sickness. After we got out Into the stream ah I could think of was that there were a million German submarines with a tor* pedo on each, across the warhead of which was Inscribed my name and ad- After five hours we came alongside a pier and disembarked. I had attained another one of my ambitions. I was "somewhere in France** We slept In the open that night on the side of the road. Abort atx the next morning wv ware ordered to entrain. 1 looked around for the coaches, but all I could bee ou the aiding were cattle cars. We climbed Into these. On the side of each car was a sign reading "Hommes 40, Cheveaux 8." When we got Inside of the cars, we thought that perhaps the sign painter had reversed the order of things. .After 48 hours in these trucks we detrained at Kouen. At this place we went through an Intensive training for ten days. The training consisted of the rudiments of trench warfare. Trenches had been dug, with barbed wire entanglements, bombing saps, dugouts, observation posts and machine gun emplacements. We were given a smattering of trench cooking, sanitation, bomb throwing, reconnoltering, listening posts, constructing and repairing barbed wire, "carrying in" parties, methods used In attack and defense, wiring parties, mass formation, and the procedure for poison-gas attacks. On the tenth day we again met our friends "Hommes 40, Cheveaux 8." Thirty-six hours more of misery, and we arrived at the town of F . After unloading our rations and equipment we lined up on the road In columns of fours waiting for the order to march. A dull rumbling could be heard. The sun was shining. I turned to the man on my left and asked, "What's the noise, Bill?" He did not know, but his face was of a pea-green color. Jim, on my right also did not know, but suggested that I "awsk" the sergeant Coming towards us was an old grizzled sergeant, properly fed up with the war, so I "awsked" him. "Think it's going to rain, sergeant?" He looked at me In contempt and grunted, " 'Ow's It a-goln* ter rain with the bloomin' sun a-shlnin'?" I looked guilty. "Them's the guns up the line, me lad, and you'll get enough of 'em before you gets back to Blighty." My knees seemed to wilt, and I squeaked out a weak "Oh!" Then we started our march up to the line In ten-kilo treks. After the first day's march we arrived at our rest billets. In France they call them rest billets, because while in them Tommy works seven days a week and on the eighth day of the week he Is given twenty-four hours "on his own." Our billet was a spacious affair, a large barn on the left side of the road, which had one hundred entrances, ninety-nine for shells, rats, wind and rain, and the hundredth one for Tommy. I was tired out, and using my shrapnel-proof helmet (shrapnel proof until a piece of shrapnel hits it), or tin hat for a pillow, lay down in the straw, and was soon fast asleep. I must have slept about two hours, when I awoke with a prickling sensation all over me. As I thought the straw had worked through my uniform. I woke up the fellow lying on my left, who had been up the line before, and asked him: "Does the straw bother you, mate? It's worked through my uniform and I can't sleep." In a sleepy voice he answered, "That ain't straw, them's cooties." From that time on my friends the "cooties" were constantly with me, "Cooties," or body lice, are the bane of Tommy's existence. The aristocracy of the trenches very seldom call them "cooties," they speak of them as fleas. To an American flea means a small insect armed with a bayonet who is wont to jab it into you and then hopskip and Jump to the next place to be attacked. There is an advantage In having fleas on you Instead of "cooties" in that In one of his extended jumps said flea is liable to land on the fellow next to you; he has the typical energy and push of the American, while the "cootie" has the bulldog tenacity of the Englishman; he holds on and consolidates or digs in until his meal Is finished. There Is no way to get rid of them permanently. No matter how often you bathe, and that Is not very often. or how many times you change your underwear, your friends the "cooties'* are always in evidence. The billets are Infested with them, especially so If there is straw on the floor. I have taken a bath and put on brand-new underwear; in fact a complete change of uniform, and then turned in for the night The next morning my shirt would be full of them. It Is a common sight to see eight or ten soldiers sitting under a tree with their shirts over their knees engaging In a "shirt hunt" At night about half an hour before "lights out" you can see the Tommies grouped around a candle, trying, in Its dim light to rid their underwear of the vermin. A popular and very quick method 1s to take your shirt and drawers, and run the seams back and forward In the flame from a candle and burn them o u t This practice Is dangerous, because yon are liable to burn holes In the garments If yon are not careful. - Recruits generally sent to Blighty for a brand of Insect powder advertised as "Good for body lice." The advertisement Is quite right; the powder la good for "cooties;" they simply thrive on It The older men of oar battalion were wiser and made eeratchers out of wood. These were robbed smooth wltk a bit of sioue or sand to pieveui spliu lers. They were about eighteen laches long, and Tommy guarantees that a scratcher of this length will" reach any part of the body which may be attacked. Some of the fellows were lazy and only made their scratchers twelve Inches, but many a night when on gxiard, looking over the top from the tire step of the front-line trench, they would have given a thousand "quid' for the other six inches. Once while we were in rest billets an Irish Hussar regiment camped In an open field opposite our billet. After they had picketed and fed their horses, a general shirt hunt took place. The troopers Ignored the call "Dinner up." and kept on with tN*Ir search for big game. They had » wtflous method of procedure. They hunfe «Se*4r shirts over a hedge and beat them wtjj their entrenching tool handles. I asked one of them why they didn't pick them off by hand, and he answered, "We haven't had a bath for nine weeks or a change of clubber. If I tried to pick the 'cooties' off my shirt, I would be here for duration of war." After taking a close look at his shirt I agreed with him ; it was alive. In the next installment Sergeant Empey tell of the realization of his ambition—his arrival In a first line trench—and of how he wished he were back In Jersey City. (TO B E CONTINUED.) PLENTY OF STORAGE PLACES Woman Who Has Made Home Into a Veritable "House of a Thousand Closets.1* One little woman living not far from New York, says Harriet Slsson Gillespie In the Mother's Magazine, has been able by the expenditure of a moderate gum of money to transform an Impracticable closetless dwelling Into one In which housekeeping Is not only a pleasure, but where the problem of storing away clothing has been satisfactorily solved. Among her friends It Is known as "the house of a thousand closets,** which Is nearly If not literally true. Every little cubby hole below the shingles has been utilized for closet space. There are banks of closers on both the second and attic floors, to sny nothing of a cedar closet with sun and air and electric light, for the reception of the owner's choicest possessions. Some of the closets are cedar lined, others sheathed with matched boards of North Carolina pine, well shellacked to keep out the moths and frequently sprayed with a liquid In which oil of cedar plays a part. A printed list of every article contained in the drawers and cupboards Is tacked in plain sight In order that the frantic search for Inanimate things that seem suddenly to have taken wings and flown away, may be entirely obviated. New Southern Industry. The advantages of New Orleans as a port were emphasised in the opening of a canning factory for the distribution of real green-sea turtles. With the exception of a small factory at Key West, It will be the only establishment of Its kind In America. The factory has been situated at Miami, Fla., but the excessive freight rates and a lack of steamer service to Central American porta led to Its removal to Bay St. Louis. It will handle nothing but greensea turtles caught In Central American waters, and these will be put up In fodr different forms—clear green turtle soup, thick green turtle soup, turtle beef In Creole style, and "calllpee," which is the meat of the turtle taken from the breast, back and flippers. The factory will turn out about 15,000 cans a day, or a total of 700,000 pounds n year, including all products. There is also a by-product called turtle oil, used medicinally.—Fishing Gazette.

Rudolph (Has, distingue* Deputy Otto Rohn, who earned such unenviable notoriety a short time ago, having been arrested at a cockfight, has bnen around our lakes recently and arrested three faimers for illegal fishing. During these times of stress, when living material is so scarce and high in price, especially after the poor crops of the past three years, would it not be a great help to the farmers if the State authorities would be a little less vigilant if a hard working farmer catches a fish or two from the waters that nature has so wisely supplied with the food that is so acceptable at this particular time of food scarcity? And does it add to the dignity of this great State to have men of the Otto Rohn stripe to enforce the fish law? This man Rohn, with a disregard for individuals characteristic ! of the old Kaiser himself, makes his overbearing ofEcieasnees less excusable by compelling these farmers to appear at Ann Arbor for trial, although there are several justices of the peace nearer by, t h i s adding materially to the coats and to sonabody's—if not his own, profit. Canada has already temporarily saspended the laws controlling the catching of fish in it's waters during the war, making it possible to catch any kind of fish except brook trout and one variety of bass. We suggest to the Governor that all deputy game and fish war dens who are as husky physically as Otto Rohn could be of greater benefit and of more asisstance now to the people and the State during this time of war if put at some kind of work where they could at least produce their own living.

At this time of the year most people Buffer from u condition often called Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn out, before the day is-half thru. They may have frequent headache* and sometimes "pimply" or pale akin and white tips, Tfce reason for this Is that during the wintertime, shut op within doors, eating too much meat and too little green vegetables, one heaps fuel into the system which is not burned up and the clinkers remain to poison the system—a clogging up of the circulation— with Inactive liver and kidneys.

They believe that the soul is an unwilling prtsoner within us, and the moment we relax our vigil in sleep It leaves the body to attend to Its own affairs and some of us possess the faculty of commanding the soul at a given hour when we wish to awake. From this originates the theory of heaven and hell. When the long sleep comes at last and the soul Is bodyleae It must tiud some sort of lodging, and this lodging Is meted out according to the conduct of the body in which the soul was a tenant.

Writh the American Army in France —Two German raids on different sectors of the American position northwest of Toul were repulsed April 7 with enemy casualties. The Germans were driven off before reaching the American trenches, by accurate machine gun and automatic fire. At one point Germans laid down a box barrage. As soon as this lifted, Americans came up from shelters and poured a heavy fire into the advancing raiders, who retired after a short period of close fighting with American outposts. At another point Germans threw hundreds of gas shells before advancing, but Americans donned gas masks and waited for the raiders. These they quickly dispersed by their fire.

Imperial Rome clothed In ermine was the vision the vanishing year of 1917 gave to a surprised populace. The Eternal city mantled In snow was the unusual and almost unheard of spectacle which greeted the Romans on the morning after Christmas, writes Alice Rohe in the Kansas City Star. Those who woke to find the city chastened with its white vestments, lying peaceful and mysterious, felt the spell of the unusual and wondered if it could be a sign of peace. Whatever private emotions surged through an astonished people, the ancient chroniclers announced that for the first time in thirty years a heavy snow storm had descended upon Rome. There are those who record more recent snow, but not of a similar heavy fall. And snowstorms In Rome, generally occur in January or February. This time for three days snow fell upon the sleeping city and then disappeared with the sun's rays at noon. Not only the people regarded the phenomenon with wonderment . but the tram lines and telephone wires were so overcome by the strain that they refused to operate. City's Routine Upset. The public conveyances were stunned Into helplessness. Roman cab horses know nothing of snow and Roman cabmen are likewise afflicted. Consequently the intrepid pedestrians found themselves wading through deep slush by noon In a cabless town. The Piazza Colonnn was, with the thawing. like a lake of sherbet across which a few venturesome scouts—generally foreigners— were wading. In the forenoon a group of American boys from the aviation camp at Foggia—up for a holiday—hired a car to take a trip out the Appian Way— but the chauffeur, despite the protests and stronger arguments of the aviators, that a little dampness wouldn't hurt a machine, had to renounce the trip at the Catacombs.

Scene of Rare Beauty. The beauty of the snow-covered city is a thing Romans will not forget. The panorama, from the Plnclan Hill, itself carpeted with a 5-lnch covering of white, its palm trees picturesque and curious sentinels In the winter setting, was incomparable. Saint Peters dome, ermined, with the ball, a white world symbol, ns ever dominated the picture. Nearer, the Pantheon, now white, shone in its new garment. Far away over white powdered roofs and terraces through twisted, irregular streets, rose the whitened*Janiculum, the watchful figure of Garibaldi, mantled in snow. From the ghostlike whiteness of the Palatine", an undisturbed shroud lay upon the campagna, in early morning, through which a specter-like Appian Way stretched toward the truly named Alban Hills. In the heart of ancient Rome, the miracle of the snow brought umbrellas and overshoes out of American and English closets to go forth on wondering admirers thrilled by the startling transformation of Rome's antiquities.

But the smell was the only indication of the presence of the substance; all the chemical reactions declared that there was no tellurium present In the powder. The chemist therefore, concluded that, if no tellurium was present, there must be a new substance ! there, as yet undiscovered, which resembled tellurium. When he had extracted from the mass all the materials that he knew were present, he found a residue, which proved to be. as he had suspected, a new elementary substance. This new substance, which was named selenium, resembled alack sealing wax in appearance. In Its vitreous form it was a nonconductor of electricity, but when heated almost to the fusing point and allowed to c*ol very slowly it completely changed Its appearance. It acquired a dull, metallic look, like lead; and In that, its crystalline condition, It was a conductor of electricity, but of extremely high resistance. A little pencil of crystalline selenium, not much more than an inch long, offered as much resistance to the passage of the electrical current as 96,000,000 miles of wire, enough to reach from here to the sun.

Gothic roof barns—those with curved roofs in the form of a pointed arch— are getting to be quite common. There are a few leaders among the fanners in every community who occupy a conspicuous position and who favor the unique or distinctive type of farm building for that reason. These like the gothic root barn. Even if the cost should be a trifle more, they gladly stand it because of the distinction which a big barn of this type gives a farmstead. The L-shaped barn with a gothic roof is not so common. Barn builders have worked out a standard solution to the roof-framing problem of the gothic barn and it seldom gives trouble any more; but when the contractor tvpe of built-up rafters Is used because it makes a very neat roof, and because il gives tin exceptionally large mow space, entirely free from inside truss work or bracing. The curve of the rafters is taken advantage of to stiffen the roof. These rafters are built up of segments cut from inch stuff, cut lo the proper curve and nailed together sideways, so the edges of the different strips are placed out and In. Some builders claim that curved ratters are stifler when the edges of the boards are placed out and in. Rafters are made wide enough to be stiff, and thick enough to add the necessary strength. Built up in this way from segments cut out of good material and thoroughly well side-nailed through and through as the different segments are added, it Is possible and practical to make each rafter into a very stiff stick of timber. Whether a rafter is solid or whether it is made of openwork in truss fashion, it must have the push and pull of the truss principle. This is a law of construction that must not be ignored in building a roof after this Gothic roof plan. The principle is a good one, and the roof when finished is very neat and pleasing, both inside and outside. It gives the acme of capacity for storage, consistent with good building construction and proportioned to the amount of material used. A certain value is added to the finished building because of the appearance. Style has a commercial value, even when applied to a farm barn. The stable floor plan of this barn provides an excellent arrangement for taking care of both cows and horses in the same building. Stalls for 30 milk cows are arranged in the main section of the barn, while the horse stable is in the "L." Arizona's Potash Find. Potash has been found in Arizona, 30 miles north of Parker, says the San Francisco Argonaut. It is confined to an underground basin in a state of «i!aja"v«A^»)>; ^mmmm and his men undertook to roof this Lshaped building they were up against a new proposition in the curved hip and valley rafters where the two roofs intersect. It is the same problem, but on a much larger scale, encountered in building a curved celling In a square room. A close examination of the photograph of this job during construction will be both interesting and instructive to other builders. The hip and valley rafters are made very heavy. Their curvature is, of course, not the same as that of the common rafters, but corresponds point for point the same as a straight hip or valley corresponds to its common rafter. The task is to lay out the diagram and fashion the curves on this high scale. This style roof is self-supporting with an absolutely clean mow with no purlin posts or braces of any kind, that is, extending below the curved ribs. Several lines of boards are solution and the brine is pumped easily. The basin is not far from the Colorado river, but the two are not connected. Explorations so far confine the basin to an area six mile^ In diameter. A well 75 feet deep has been bored into the basin, but this is not the deposit's full depth. Potash is of great value in the uses of commerce and manufactures, and this discovery is of especial importance just now In time of war. The analysis of the brine is so encouraging that the district where it lies already has been staked full of claims. Thrift. A Denver millionaire gave his little daughter a superb doll's house.

This manner of bracing, when the sides of the building are tied together by the boarding, make* a very solid structure up to the. plates. There are a great many bolts used In this-diagonal brace work. In fact, plank frame barn construction has led to the use of bolts quite generally. Above the plates the design and construction of this barn are also especialy Interesting to farmers. The curved aire asked the little girl during the holidays. "It's all right," she answered, carelessly. "But where is It?" said the millionaire, looking round the sumptuous nursery.

A monster inventory has been made of all food resources In the United States, and now Uncle Sam is in a fair way to know what food stocks he has on hand to last over until next season's crops come In, how much food he can spare for the allies, and how sparingly he should make use of It at home. Under an act of congress approved by the president August 10, 1917, the secretary of agriculture was authorized to Investigate and ascertain the demand for, the supply, consumption, costs and prices of, and the basic facts relating to the ownership, production, transportation, manufacture, storage and distribution of foods, food materials and any articles required In connection with the production, distribution or utilization of food. An appropriation was- granted for the survey, and within a week after the bill had been signed by the president schedules were in outgoing mails to food merchants and manufacturers. Here are some facts regarding the correspondence which formed the basis of the nation-wide food inventory, The master list which was compiled by the bureau of markets was made up of 525,000 names. There were 18,000 grain, flour and feed dealers; 1,200 brewers, 800 distillers, 6,500 canners of fruits, vegetables and sea foods; 1,400 refiners and dealers In edible oils, 1,- 300 sugar and syrup refiners, 32,000 wholesale and retail bakers, 1,040 fish freezing plants, and so on through the hundred or more classified food trades. A huge force of clerks was kept busy mailing schedules and sorting, editing and classifying the returned reports. The whole master list was more than duplicated by follow up letters and letters giving special information. The inventory covered 86 leading food Item's and brought in complete returns of the year's harvests. Four general classes of commodities were covered : First, quantities of raw products on the farms, such as grain, live stock, poultry, eggs and honey; second, stocks of food products nearer the consuming stage in manufacturing, jobbing, wholesale, storage and other commercial establishments; third, stocks in small retail establishments; fourth, food supplies on the shelves nnd in the bins of the family pantry. Done Largely by Mail. The most important part of Uncle Snni's stock taking job was done by correspondence with food dealers and makers. But it was not possible to Inventory all food stocks by mail. There were 163,000 small retail grocers who, through inability to read or understand English, were unable to carry out the instructions of the schedule. It would have been quite impossible to inventory each one of these small concerns by personal canvass. Therefore the bureau resorted to estimates based <m a detailed survey of representative counties. As a basis of selection for these type counties, all the counties In the United States were divided into seven groups according to the size of the largest village, town or city contained in each. The first group consisted of 26 metroimlitan districts, In a number of Instances embracing all or parts of Severn 1 counties; the second group contained 19 Smaller. metmpoUtan dia- &7f>Loy£v orsu^£xua^/t^?/<£7Zf^rM^M o^Jtxx>ouj^y£r trlcts and adjacent territory having cities of from 100,000 to 200,000 population ; the third group contained counties having cities of from 26,000 to 50,- 000; in the seventh group there were 1,639 counties which had no village so large as 2,500. The survey work in cities was done by the bureau of chemistry through its food and drug inspectors and state and local health officials and inspectors. These representatives went from store to store and left with proprietor or manager schedules of all possible staples, with the request that they be filled out In 48 hours. In many parts of the larger cities, especially in the poorer districts, the police had to explain to the grocers that the law required them to fill out the schedule and that they were liable to a penalty for failure to do so. The survey covered the stocks on farms and in the 22,000,000 households of the United States. The bureau of crop estimates, with Its existing army of crop reporters, attended to the farm stocks. The total number of returns exceeded 300,000. Household Inventory Made. To catch in the net for food information the 22,000,000 households In the United States was a stupendous task. As it was Impossible to approach each one of these households, 44,000 families, representative of the entire population as to place of residence, family income and occupation were studied* In detail and estimates derived from these figures covered with a fair degree of accuracy the entire country. The aim of the household survey was to get a fairly accurate idea of the food stocks in individual households, supplementary to certain data sent In from coM storage concerns and making complete returns as to the quantity of preserved meats, eggs, fruits and vegetables in the country. Secondarily the schedule found out how much of certain staple commodities were being used, and checked up by means of inquiries on the comparative amounts of certain foods consumed during the last two years on the ability of the average American family to follow out conservation food measures which have been recommended. * A vital phase of the household survey was the inquiry into milk production and the various ways in which this valuable food product is utilized. The schedule to be filled out by householders was divided *lnto four sections: Section 1, Meats preserved for home use this winter and last. Section 2. Fruits, vegetables and eggs preserved for home use for 1917 and 191«. Section 3. Total quantity of milk produced, consumed and sold under the following items per average week during the last year: 1, whole milk; 2,.cream; 9, skimmed m i l k - quantity fed to animals and quantity used in household. Section 4 covered the total quantity of 34 leading foods consumed during the calendar year 1917 and the estimated consumption of certain of these 34 leading foods during 1916 in order to see to what extent families have been able to use substitute foods in the present emergency. Dietary Investigation Aids. Dietary investigations were made by Doctor Langworthy of the division of home economics which dovetail with the more sweeping household inventory of the federal food survey. Doctor Langworthy conducted an Intensive research Into the quantities and kinds of foods used in a number of selected families. These figures will bring up to date dietary Investigations made In the same division under Doctor Atwater's regime, and which up to the present time huve been the only statistics available as a basis for dietary calculations, even for those of the Royal British commission. The practical results of this survey will, It is believed, be of great value. For instance, it will enable us to plan our crop production for the ensuing year with a degree of Intelligence which would be impossible without this definite and comprehensive survey. It would be difficult to find the owner of a factory who would plan out a producing program, without having a moderately accurate Idea of market demands, and stocks already on hand. We have been running our factory, so to speak, absolutely blind, without regard to orders or probable sales. It is ridiculous to urge greatly Increased production unless we can say and say with definlteness that there is a shortage and that the producer will be assured a moderate return for his labor. We are about to know for the first time by consideration of actual figures how we are situated with reference to our right to export the various commodities considering the needs of our own people. Again we shall know what we should substitute In the way of those things that are present in a plentiful supply for those which are not plentiful. Information to the effect that there Is a surplus of potatoes on the market will exert a leverage on the price fixer, and will encourage the Increased use of this specific food product At Increased consumption of potatoes means using leas bread. It Is a definite wheat conservation measure. We should know where we can use heavily and where lightly. Hoarding would be impossible. ""Charles J. Brand, who Is at the head of the nation's food Inventory, bolleres that a food survey taken annually, before the fall crops come In aad frst after they are in, will eventually bt> come an established custom, /sy MART Q^^msxm^ T H E V I L L A G E CLOCK. "Well," said the village clock us some of the brownies climbed up to the tower upon which It stood und took seats around on a tiny balcony. "Well what?" asked the brownies. "Well," said the villu«e Hock, "it's enough to begin with one word. When I continue I use more words and before I huve finished I have »sed many. But I betfin with one. It's all that is necessary and so why should I bother about more?" "True," said Billle Brownie, "but most folks don't stop after their first word. They go on and on and on. Sometimes they talk for ever so Ions. In fact until everyone has forgotten that they ever had a first word." • "I am the village, clock. I ana not 'most folks.' And what is more, I wouldn't be for anything in the world." "Could you be if you wanted?" asked Bennie Brownie. "Don't be rude, little boy," said the Hock. "I'm not saying whether I couldn't or whether I could. It's not a matter for discussion." "Whatever do you mean by discussion?" asked one of the very young brownies. "Talk, my child," said the clock. "Talk and discussion mean Just about the same. Sometimes, though, a discussion may be an argument and sometimes' an argument may mean a quarrel. So discussion has all sorts of possibilities which talk hasn't got. Yes, I'd rather be discussion than talk if I were a word. It has more chances in life." "Could you be a word if you wanted to be?" asked the youngest brownie of all. "I am a word," said the clock. "And a fine word I am too. The word which I am Is clock, little brownie. Yes, clock Is certainly a word and that word means nothing else but me—or else one of my family. "And such a fine family as I belong to. We keep the time. We don't care for people If they won't obey us. Do you suDDOse for one minute when any- "When It's Dark Anyone Can See Me." one Is late we'll move back? Not a bit of it.

Of course there are clocks that get out of order and stop, but that's only because they have something the matter with their works. We won't stop for anything else. We sometimes have to be wound up, but as for stopping because someone was late and didn't want to bet Goodness, we'd never do that And when any of our family has to go to the clock mender's or be wound up, the time goes on just the same.

"It was really what I was going on to say when I began talking by saying, •Well/ I was going to say, 'Well, at Last it has happened. They have lighted up my face.' "You see I strike every hour to let folks know the time, but It's nice to be able to see me In the evening between the hours. And so they've lighted up my face, and when it's dark anyone can see me.

All this shows we have put money Into It But there la today the shadow of war hanging over the entire land. The nation is In peril. Now Is the time of all times when money must be put Into this land of the free and the home of the brave if It Is to remain prosperous and hap* py. The purchase of Liberty bonds puts your money where It will do the most good in this grave crisis. Bo a Bond Salesman for Uncle Sam. When you have bought your bond, don't stop. Become s bond aalesmaq for your government and see to it that your neighbor buys a bond. Explain to him that you and he have to do this, as the soldier at the front has to fight. Russia failed to support Its army and its army failed to fight for Russia, and today Germany is taking over thousands of square miles of rich farming and mineral lands, title to which is held by Russians who will have their deeds considered mere scraps of paper by their conquerors. Buy bonds from your government and sell them for it. Make the United States a success Instead of a failure, like Russia. Farmer, Hired Man and Liberty Loan. Intelligent farmers know that a hired man does better work If he is bountifully fed, pleasantly housed and warmly clad. Uncle Sam today has abroad close to 1,000,000 hired men, engaged In the most toilsome and hazardous work. They cannot be fed. clothed and housed unless money is provided.

By BOIRSIANCR, [Financial Editor, Chicago Examiner.] Not many years before Abraham Lincoln became president Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln were fed and sheltered In the Globe tavern, Springfield, III., at four dollars a week. In other terms, they each paid two dollars a week for room and board at what then was one of the best family hotels in the state capital. Incredibly cheap t To us today, yes. but not to the Americans of the 50*s and 60*s. The purchasing power of a dollar in those days was tremendous. When the Civil war broke out the wealth of the United States was appraised at $17,000,000,000. Let us be liberal and make it 120,000,000,000 at the end of that internecine strife, the total cost of which was 14,000,000,000. At that time the national debt was $2,- 625,000,000. Put In another way, the country had spent In the Civil war onefifth of her entire wealth. What happened? Within eighteen years the whole of Jthe national debt was paid off; extinguished by a commonwealth with only one-third of the present population; with little or no prestige as a world power; with ail her railways, half of her city real estate and 60 per cent of her farms mortgaged to European capitalists; with bank resources of only $4,000,000,000 and with not a dollar's worth of investments abroad. There are estimates that ere kaiser- Ism shall be crushed our national obligation will stand at $20,000,000,000. That would mean about 8 per cent of the wealth of the nation (which Is not leas than $250,000,000,000) or 4 per cent less than the percentage In 1865. America today is the leading power, the wealthiest country in the world. It Is a creditor nation. Its railways, real estate and farms are owned by her own people and her bank resources total $49,389,000,000. After this, is it necessary to ask if a United States government bond Is a safe investment? There is nothing safer in the world; nothing which promises so rapid and so high an appreciation once the war Is ended. These are the cold facts of the proposition. There Is another side: the ioveof- country, the love-of-Liberty, the great-humanlty-cause side. War and the Weather.

London of Today a Marvel, Forming One of the Most Important War Centers of Entire World. A Rhodesian who has arrived In England to "join up." after service in! the three campaigns undertaken by the South Africans, assures me of his astonishment at the tact and thoroughness exhibited in the daily work of military police, says a writer in Westminster Gazette. The London of today is, indeed, a never-ending marvel to the colonial soldier. It forms one of the most Important military censers of the world. It Is Inhabited by a floating population drawn from one of the most cosmopolitan armies in history—an army, too, that Is in no way remarkable for the gentleness of its fighting methods when the game's afoot Yet, as my South African friend phrased it, "the whole mob goes about on Its business and Its pleasures like a small flock of contented sheep with a couple of welltrained dogs behind them." j Things were not always managed that way In the early days of the forces raised by the dominions In the first year of war. My informant Illustrates the contrast with an Incident that came under his notice while his \ regiment lay Intrenched at Swakpp- J mund during the "German Southwest" campaign. One morning the men of the Union advanced posts saw approaching them from the desert three living skeletons, who staggered like drunken men as they groped their way blindly through the furnace of sand. A comrade lay helpless n mile or so behind, too far gone to walk. He was brought in later, unconscious, but still alive. The four heroes—captives In the hands of the Hun—had preferred the chances of death to the grim certainty of a cruel and galling captivity, and had managed to escape from their jnllcrs under cover of darkness. Practically without food and, for the most part, without water, they hnd traveled some hundreds of miles—from one; end of the vast territory to the other. Almost naked, the ice-cold winds of night had crippled them, hun-> ger had robbed them of their; strength, and thirst had all hut driven j them to madness. They had escaped j "by the skin of their teeth" from \ both vengeful Huneand prowling lion. | And an officious military policeman; greeted them on their arrival-In the!

Sam Jones has had the lurk of bad crops two or three years. Things have seemed against him. But he has been as brave as a Hon. No frost can ever come that froze the smile from his face or withered the hope in his heart t And he is right at it this year, Just as If he had had the best of luck all through the years. But I wonder who of his neighbors has been down to sing out to Sam: "Up ngaln, old man !

The zoological park of New York was established in 1866, and that of Chicago In 1868; but of the 83 cities of the United States reporting animal collections in 1916 only ten had begun such collections In 1890. One of the largest and most interesting gardens Is that of the New York Zoological society, which is a private corporation occupying about 155 acres of city-owned land In the Bronx gardens and Battery park. Of a total of 9,888 living creatures, of 1,381 different species, shown in the exhibits of this society on December 31, 1915, the mammals embraced 213 species; birds, 813; reptiles, 180; fishes, 140; amphibia, 14; and invertebrates, 21. The National Zoological park in Washington, under the direction of the Smithsonian institution, has a site of 160 acres. June 30,1915, the park contained 629 mammals of 151 different species, 696 birds of 185 species, and 72 reptiles of 22 sr^cles, making a total of L397 living creatures. •Us Again!" Whoa wo wore little shavers, tod- «BtH> aheat tW Ifonae and,went down Age of Flshea. The most striding characteristic by which fishes of different ages can be distinguished is their size. But the size affords us only the means to estimate the age of younger fishes; as to the older, it cannot serve us as an indication of their age. since their growth may vary according to the different conditions of nutrition, so that often the younger fish will excel In size the much older fish. There is, however, at least ;i<* regards the fishes of the Northern seas, a sure indication that betrays their age. It IS the otolites, or ear stones. These ear stones grow as long as the fish itself continues to grow, and form annual rings In the manner of trees. The more annual rings shown by a fish's ear stones the greater its ago.

On April 1, new laws relating to the liquor traffic went into effect in the dominion of [Canada: The prohibition of the manufacture of all intoxicating lipuors and the prohibition of all transportation of intoxicating liquor into any part of Canada wherein the sale is illegal. Prohibitory laws are now in force in all the provinces of Canada except Quebec, where the law will become effective May 1, 1919. However, the larger part of this province is under prohibition by local legislation, and the manufacturers will thus find little market for their products. It will be recalled also that by orders in the council issued last December and January, the importation of intoxicating liquor was prohibited. The law prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicating liquor for tha whole dominion goaa into effect December 31,1918.

Flint—The teaching of German in the Flint public schools will be discontinued after the present semester* the school board has decided, in response to numerous protests received. Already text-books have been expurgated of considerable German propaganda by teachers, but it was thought advisable to finish the semester, in order that students might not be deprived of credits.

Clark, from the war department. Ranney was in London the day war was declared and after many futile attempts to enlist, he changed his citizenship that he might get into the fray. Camp Custer.—It has developed that the intensive training given at the training camps haB developed what medical officers call an "irritable" heart. This is especially true of men who in civilian life were not injured to violent exercise. Medical officers hare been warned to watch for these cases and when located the victims will be placed in a company which takes its work more gradually.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN A SUCCESS 8EVERAL MICHIGAN COUNTIE8 OVERSUBSCRIBE QUOTA FIR8T DAY. TO CALL 150,000 MEN IN APRIL First Quota of 8econd Draft to Be In Camp Before May 1. NATION FIRED WITH PATRIOTISM Anniversary of Country's Entrance In World War Celebrated With Fitting Demonstrations. Lansing—Michigan is going over the top in the third Liberty loan drive. Before the first day of the new loan campaign had ended Jackson, Ingham and Ionia counties in the lower peninsula had reported oversubscriptions totaling more than $500,000 in a combined quota of about $3,000,000. Jackson's had been taken before 10 o'clock Saturday morning; Ionia's had been pledged in advance by her bankers; Ingham's quota was snapped up without a bit of campaigning being done. Isabella county had subscribed practically its full quota of $261,000 before 5 o'clock Saturday night. Nottswa township, 98 per cent German families, took its full quota. Soldiers from Camp Custer aided in opening the drive in Battle Creek, and a number of other cities. In Lansing the chief of police appealed to the head of the state con* stabulary to help him keep American workmen from mobbing pro-Germans who might refuse to subscribe. One Russian was ducked in the Grand river for refusing to join a thrift club. In Ann Arbor the very first subscription entered was that of the Bethlehem German Evangelical Lutheran church. On the basis of returns from the cities, state loan committee officials declared that the state would easily over subscribe its qouta. Washington—One hundred and fifty thousand drafted men will be called out during April instead of 50,000, the quota originally determined upon for this month under the second draft. Orders to induct this number into the military service before May 1 have been issued by Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder. This decision by. the general staff was a definite step in President Wilson's program for speeding up assistance to the Allies this year. Similar monthly calls for drafted men are plannedt it is understood. The rapidity with which drafted men are to be ordered into military service will depend upon movement of trained troops overseas, it is stated. With the 160,000 a month program obtaining, 1,350,000 men will be drafted by the end of the year. The number of men to be sent overseas this year, and the consequent 'number of men to be drafted, will b< regulated by three considerations: 1—Shipping facilities. 2—Available equipment. 3—The needs of the Allies. General Crowder stated that the draft machinery now is in shape to supply men as fast as needed. It is believed that in arriving at the 150,000 figure for April, the general staff has worked out a plan under whicB this number of men can be transported to Europe each month. In order that there may be no hitch in sending men to training camps, local draft boards are rushing physical examinations of registrants in class 1. Word also has gone forth to speed up all appeal cases. FORCE SHALL MAKE RIGHT THE LAW OF THE WORLD, WILSON PRESIDENT SAYS NATION W I L L FIGHT UNTIL AUTOCRATIC FOE HAS BEEN CAST (N T H E DIRT.

WAR COST 9 BILLION FIRST YEAR One-barf of Sum Represents Loans t Allies and Will Be Repaid. Nation Responds Nobly. Washington—Throughout the United States communities observed the an* niversary of the nation's entrance into the war, and gave material evidence of their support 07 pledging millions of dollars to insure successful contin. nance of the struggle against Germany. While parades and public meetings were in progress in nearly every city, telegrams were- pouring into liberty loan headquarters at the treasury telling of towns which had exceeded their quotas in the first day of the four weeks* campaign, or even within the first hour. More than 150 had reported when the headquarters closed Saturday night. Sioux City, la* and Lynn, Mass., were the largest cities exceeding their allotments and thereby win- Washington—Nine billion dollars is the approximate cost to the United States of one year of war. More than one-half has gone In loans to Allies and will be repaid eventually; over one-third has been spent for the army and military establishment; one-tenth for the navy and one-fifteenth for shipbuilding. One-sixth of this big war cost has been raised by taxation and other ordinary sources of revenue, and the balance has come from sale of Liberty bonds and certificates of indebted - Enormous as these war expenditures may seem to a country wbose government in peace times costs between $700,000,000 and 1800,000,000, they are less than Great Britain's and are only about two-thirds of estimates made by officials less than a year ago. Government expenses now are running about $1,000,000,006 a month, with somewhat leas than'half going to Allies, who spend the greater part ning the right to fi> the honor flag of of their loans for war supplies in thia the third Liberty loan. J country Baltimore—President Wilson at 9 great Liberty Loan celebration here April 6, gave America's answer to the German drive on the western battlefront; to the renewed propaganda for a German made,peace, to all proposals to end the war before Germany is awakened from her dream of world dominion. The president's answer was: "Force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust." The speech was delivered before a grave audience in the Fifth regiment armory, where he was first named to be chief magistrate of the nation. 8ees New Soldiers March. A few hours before the president spoke, he had reviewed a division of citizen soldiers, called only a few months ago from the pursuits of peace; now transformed into fighting men to carry the ideals of America to the battlefields of Europe. At the moment 1,000,000 more of their kind all over the land were celebrating the opening of the third Liberty loan; and the orders for mobilizing the first of the great army of a second 1,000,000 was going out to the country. Those were some of the physical facts which backed his words, when after reviewing briefly the evidence that Germany seeks a peace for her her world dominion, the president declared : "I accept the challenge. I know you accept it. All the world shall know you accept it. It shall appear in the utter sacrifice and self forgetfulness with which we shall give all that we love and all that we have to redeem the world and make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in. Will Fight to Finish. "This'now is the meaning of what we do. Let everything that we say, my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response till the majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill the thought and utterly defeat the force of those who fount and misprize what we honor and hold dear. "Germany has once more said that force and force alone shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in affairs of men; whether right as America conceives it or dominion as she conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind. "There is therefore but one response possible from us; force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous force which shall make right the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion in the dust" Warns of Russia's Fate. Warning anew that a triumph of arms for Germany means rain for all the ideals America has won and Uvea for, the president reiterated he waa willing to discuss at any time a fair, just and honest peace sincerely proposed—" a peace In which the strong and weak shall fare alike." "But the answer," said he, "when I proposed such a peace came from the German commanders in Russia and I cannot mistake the meaning of the answer. "Th - -njoying in Russia," the president declared, "a cheap triumph in which no brave or gallant nation can long take pride. A great people, helpless by their own act lies for the time at their mercy. Their fair 'professions are forgotten. They nowhere set up justice but everywhere impose their power and exploit everything for their own use and aggrandisement; and the peoples of conquered provinces are invited to be free under their dominion.

American* Face Great Duties in Providing Food Products and Aiding Our Soldiers and Our Allies in War. (By HAPSBURG LIEBE of the Vigilantes.) Deniocrury una Liberty are not always synonymous, perhaps*, but they mean the same to us now, certainly. A military autocracy, after more than forty years of thorough and cunning preparation, a great part of it by means of weapons of our owu invention, has thrust our Democracy and our Liberty Into the crucible to test it out, to see whether it would hold good. They did not believe It would hold good, those Prussian militarists; they do not believe It yet. We believe it will, but our belief has been made up heretofore largely of egotism and blindness. Democracy and Liberty, the world's with our owu. Is now undergoing the supreme test. Of course there Is dross, and It is coming to the top rapidly. There is inefficiency, mismanagement, grave mistakes that even our national leaders have made; there has been some graft, uo doubt; there has been some playing of politics; there has been profiteering, but all this 1s only the dross floating to the top of the crucible. We were, never a military nation, you know. The biggest of our mistakes, I think, was in our shipbuilding program, but we were never a shipbuilding nation, either. However, this dross is all being cleared away. Fully 60 per cent of the winning of this war depends-tipon us here at home. We have three great duties upon us now as we never had them upon us before—those of us who can grow food products must grow more than ever; we must all aid in the saving of foods, and especially wheat, meats, and sugar; and all of us who can, though It may necessitate some sacrifice, must buy these new Liberty bonds. Properly carried through, these three great duties will prove the overbalancing power in the winning of the war, beyond a doubt. The growing of great crops and the conservation of food, and the buying of Liberty bonds, quickly mean enough food for our soldiers and our allies, and enough ships to carry It. If we fail in this the die of destiny is quite likely to fall with Its skull-and-crossbones upward for us; if we do not fall, then Democracy and Liberty will come out of the crucible covered with glory. The result is Inevitable.

This means you and not other people. You might as well come to it first as last. The war is unusual and we shall have to have unusual business to deal with It. - The gist of it is this: The nation has just so many hands and Just so much energy—Just so much raw material and ^labor. There are only 24 hours In the day and 385 days in the year. We can make only so many things in a given time with a given supply of time and material. If we make some things we cannot make others. If we put sugar into candy to stuff idle women we cannot have Jam to feed the soldiers. If we make autos for pleasure only, we cannot use that material, labor and energy for tanks and airplanes. If we burn the gasoline on Sundays, the boys in France cannot use it In battle. The whole truth is that we must stop business as usual. And—this is where you come in—you must stop spending as usual. Do It now. Put your money into gunpowder and not face powder; into tanks and not limousines; Into food for the trenches instead of spending it In hotels and restaurants. But you cannot boy directly for the army. The government most do 11 Give the government the money and BUY A LIBERTY BOND. Couldn't Figure It Out.

THE American boy who goes to war gives up the position which means so much to his future, or the little business which has just begun to show promise of success. He severs home ties; gives up home comforts; leaves behind parents, friends, wife or sweetheart He faces the probability of being obliged to take up life anew when he returns; of losing all the advantages which years of hard work have won for him. He faces the possibility of coming back incapacitated for earning a living, and of being dependent upon his friends or upon charity. He faces the possibility of never coming home at all. Facing these things, he goes to France to fight for us who remain safely at home — and when the moment comes for him to go over the top — he GOES! What will he think, how will he feel, if we complain because we are asked to make a few sacrifices for him — sacrifices so insignificant when compared with his? Show him that to invest in Liberty Bond* is not a SACRIFICE but a PRIVILEGE —an appreciation of his sacrifice! And When You Bvy-Buylf ThiB Space Paid For and Contributed By L. E. RICHARDS mflfflOEfflSMI! = OF ITS INDUSTRIES FOR WAR AND PEACE No Such Thing in the United States as Nonessential Plants. EVIL OF NEGATIVE ECONOMY. Preparation f o r After War CompetU , tlon Necessary — Give Munitions Shops and Military Supplies Prefer- ; ence, but Don't Cause Involuntary , Idleness, Which Will Demoralize i Prosperity. No factory should U± closed and no person should be deprived of work as long us the products can find a market unless other work can be found for the plant and the tollers, which is of more importance to the nation. There are no sue hthin^s as nonessentials in our industries. Some are needed more than others, but all serve some purpose, if no more than to please the eye. If work can be found for all in producing foods, clothing, munitions of war, ships and other things of prime necessity which help win the war let-Uu-m have precedence, but avoid causing involuntary idleness. To hold and increase our foreign trade the industries that supply goods forexport must not be disorganized or we shall be at the mercy of our competitors when peace is restored. England, wisest of nations in trade affairs, is doing all that is possible to maintain her foreign trade and supplant her enemies in international markets and while doing so Is looking after her own interests without taking others into account. This policy is not conflicting with her efforts to win the war. When a workman is idle the community loses his value as a producer and the cost of supporting him. It makes no difference whether he is fed by relatives or friends or in a public institution or by unorganized charity or by his spending part or all of his savings, the double loss is the same. Idleness is the worst waste. YVe must practice economy, but, as President McGarrah of the Mechanics and Metals Bank of New York says: "111 advised and Impetuous economy, meaning unemployment and closed factories, would be demoralizing. It is evident to every thinking man that business must be sustained and the conversion of industry carefully brought about whereby the nation's energies are transferred from the satisfaction of the needs of the army and navy." Some of our important industries have already been hurt by the negative economy which he criticises. We must not weaken our bodies and our finances by abstinence born of panic. If a man hoards a dollar or a bag of sugar it benefits no one while he holds it. If he lends a dollar or gives or sells the sugar to the government for the prosecution of the war he helps the nation. The hoarder is worse than the spendthrift We must economize, but we must neither hoard nor remain idle. Money wisely spent is not wasted; money spent for nonessentials is put to poor use, but remains in circulation. Money hoarded is valueless while in that condition. Let us keep money in circulation and labor at wo k. I-et us give preference to the requirements of the nation, but keep labor employed in some way until the government can find work for nil. Il is unlikely that the government can do that, so we shall have surplus labor, including an r.rmy of women, who can produce real wvulth for export and domestic trade. The panic which obsesses ihe minds of some omcials, if allowed to'spread, can do more harm Man an invading host.— Industrial Conservation, New York. INDUSTRIAL DESERTERS. The time has come when the man who leaves his post in American industrial life for technical enforcement of his prerogatives must be branded rte a traitorous industrial deserter. We, the people of the United States, through our government, are employing millions of men in the most exacting service that Involves risk of life itself for many and unimaginable hardships for all, and their maximum pay is 135 a month and board. National self aacrtflce and co-operation should be out watchword. Every man who does not help hlnderi the victory ot democrtc^ —Industrial Conservation, Hew Yoqft i Your Bond May Bring Him Home in Safety The supreme tragedies of war are not enacted on the battlefield, but in the home. Above the shouts of command and encouragement, the roar and shock of the great guns, and all the swelling tumult of battle whicn bear the husband and father to a hero's grave and a martyr's glory, there rise the weeping of the bereaved wife and*the cries of little children deprived of a father's love and care. American fathers are now on the battlefronts of France. Many must fall; how many depends upon us who remain safely at home. A single Liberty Bond will help to save a soldier's life, your soldiers life, and bring him home in safety to those who hold his life far more precious than their own. THIS SPACE PAID FOR AND CONTRIBUTED BY M. J, REASON r*« One Hundred and Forty-Two Years of Labor and Struggle TH E American people fought their first battles for liberty and the rights of selfgovernment one hundred and forty-two years ago. C A t that time, and for many yean thereafter, tV.eir realization of their national aspirations and of the goal toward which they were really striving was vague and indistinct. But step by step they struggled onward and upward toward a light which grew clearer as their eyes and minds slowly opened to its sisjiif.cance. Today, as a result of their struggles and their sacrifices, we possess and enjoy our priceless American institutions. % These institutions must be preserved. The structure so laboriously reared m these one hundred and forty-two years wiH be utterly destroyed if we do not spring to its defease with every atom of our energy and determination.

'With great Re.spec yore "Frien liza rankln." Lavinia read the letter over and over again. She could make nothing of It but a jumble of words ail but illegibly written. Not a comma, not a period. She glanced at the name: llza rankin, and light came to her. The meaning of the letter became clear. Her throat contracted with an uncomfortable ache and tears hid the package In her lap at which she fumbled with unseeing eyes. It was roughly and Insecurely tied and she wondered how it had come intact through the mails. As the thought flashed through her mind a smaller package dropped upon the floor. With an exclamation she picked up yards of beautifully fine and intricate tatting. Examining the contents of the larger bundle, she found it contained several sets of table mats with crocheted borders and coarse, homespun Hnen centers. Her mind went back to the summer just past and the several summers before when she had helped spin the cloth from flax raised in the little clearing about the cabin. If she had been asked she could not have told how she had heard of the little home in the Tennessee mountains across the border from Virginia, but each summer thereafter had found her a visitor, and she and Eliza Rankin bad become fast friends. She had helped Eliza make her wedding dress; had returned to the mountain for the wedding, taking with her from her own store of furniture enough to make comfortable the tiny tworoom log house that was to be Eliza's future home. She had been with her when the child was born; had been with her when, dry-eyed, the griefstricken mother had laid the still little form In its crib for the last time, and it was ID the rough little cabin that Lavlnia came under the Influence that altered the course of her own life when she raised her head from her spinning and met the keen, questioning gray eyes of the mountain doctor who had stopped for a moment to ask for a drink of milk. She met him often in her wanderings about the mountain, but aside from the pleasure of an occasional meeting she had given him no thought until she raised her head that day and her eyes< were held by the dominant gray ones of the man standing in the doorway. She felt as if he was reading her very soul. Filled with resentment, the angry color flooded her face under his merciless gaze. Indignantly she straightened in her chair. Then, to her everlasting shame, she left the spinning wheel and walked directly into his arms. She left the mountain the next day. There was a long wait at Bristol before the arrival of the north-bound train, but almost as It came into sight Doctor Cochran crossed the platform to her side. "Eliza told me you had gone. Why?" he had asked abruptly. She had looked at him coolly, critically. A big, awkward but powerfully built man, coarsely clothed with his blue homespun shirt open at the throat and sleeves pushed carelessly back from bis muscular arms. Her very silence brought to him a realisation of her thought "OhI That's it! A mountain man is not good enough! You want the fine clothes, the suavity and convention to which you are accustomed. You can have them if yon want 1 do not doubt It But whoever he be be will never nave what you have given to the mountaineer." She had risen and faced him. "How dare yoo—" He had laughed roughly in Interruption. "Dare? I dare anything, my dear young lady, and I tell you plainly that to that half boor in Eliza Hankie's cabin you gave me what you win never rive another man, and that was your toot** a i d turaiff on bis hod he loft her aa the train pulled Into the stottoo. hint once, months later. He wrote that be had volunteered and mubt see her before he left for France. The note was unanswered. He did not come, and as the days passed she knew her day of reckoning was upon her; that she had let him go to his work thinking her heartless. It all cauie back as she looked at the work in her lap und as she let the beautiful tatting slip over her fingers her resolution was taken. Naturally she met opposition when she told her family she was going to the mountain for a brief stay, but she went on about the currying out of he* plan and blessed the aunt who left her a email legacy to do with as she would. Knowing that the railroads were congested by the movement of troops, she hired a motortruck to carry food and told the chauffeur she was going with him across the width of Virginia. His expression spoke volumes and when out of hearing uttered words not Intended for a woman's ears. She persuaded a married friend to accompany her. This she regretted later on, for the coid was intense and there was tire trouble. To her it meant delay, but her friend could see nothing In the trip but her own folly In yielding to Lavinia's wishes. "I will leave you at Hot Springs and go alone," Lavinia told her at last. "It was really too much to a«k of you." "I will keep on until we reach a railroad," Mrs. Howard answered shortly. "When we come to that bond with civilization I will leave you to your own devices. What on earth put such an Idea Into your head. Couldn't you have sent the things by freight?" "Eliza and the others need food, and this is the quickest way to get it to them," Lavinia answered. Fortunately her chauffeur was a Virginian and had come from the section of the state to which she was going. He had known the Ranklns and Wades. "We played together when we was kids," he told her. "It'll go hard with the women in the mountains with their men gone." For a moment he looked troubled. "I s'pose you wonder why a husky feller like me Is a stay-at- "home. I ain't no slacker. I has a wife an' five kids an' the orfercer tol' me to atay at home an' take kyar of 'em." Never In her life before had Lavinia been so conscious of the comforts of fire as when she entered the log cabin an hour later, stiff and shivering. But it wasn't much of a fire. Just a handful of sticks upon which Eliza threw a few pine cones tha* biased up at once. Standing before it, Lavinia looked about. There was but the one room. Side by side In one corner stood two beds covered with gay patchwork quilts. Four bright eyes peered at her from the farthest one. From the nearer came a slight moan. "I did not know anyone was sick, Eliza." "Llz wore jes' po'ly when I writ miss, honey. She give up las' nigh'. I put the chilrun in bed to keep warm. Moll is out tryin' to git wood. Miss, honey, I shorely think the Lord dun sent you." "There must be someone who can get wood for you," Lavinia said. "Where is Jake Fox? He is too old to be called." For a moment Eliza did not answer. "He's a-haulin' for money an' we alia dldn' have none." Lavinia opened her purse. "Give hlra this and tell him to hurry with a load." The mountain woman drew back. "I ain't beggin', honey." "Of course not. I expect you to pay it back. But now I am cold and hungry and we will talk about it after a while." and throwing aside her wraps, she went over to speak to Lizzie Crawford. For a week she watched beside that bed in the corner, resting between times In a big chair before the fire. At the end of that time as she was bending over the bed the door was thrown open and a hearty voice said: "I came back to take a look around before I left for France, Eliza; heard Lizzie was sick and came over to see what was the matter." The voice stopped short "You!" F o r . a second of time Lavinia thought she would suffocate with the beating of her heart then she said quietly: **I heard they were in trouble, so I came." The man's hand was not quite steady as he reached over and laid his fingers upon Lizzie's wrist "There is no fever. I think—" He caught sight of Lavinia's eyes and turned abruptly away. Her gaze followed him, then rotted upon the compass quilt the figure of which she began to trace absently with her finger. 8he had thought him In France, now that he was here there were things she most say to him and they would take courage. He Interrupted her thought "Come here," he said peremptorily. "I moot tee your eyes again. They gave mo your soul once. Convention and training hid them from sight I a a wondering if It was forever.** There was Just an Instant of pause, her eyes held bjr his aa she went toward him and again, as that first time, she walked directly into his E IN THE FARMER'S LIFE "Making a Living" Idea Has Developed into a "Money Making Fact" A few years ago—and not so many at that—most farmers were satisfied if they saw ahead of them the opportunity to make a fair living, a reasonable competence in their falling years, und an assurance of an existence lor their families. They worked bard, and tilled their acres with this end in view. Honest struggle, earnest effort and u true conception of upright manhood, together with the Increa.*- ing knowledge that upon the fruits of their endeavoi rested the structure of the world, whose people had to be fed and maintained. Economy in method, improved conditions of working, have added to the farmer's possibilities, and today instead of being a plodder for an existence, which his early training had bred into him, he has become the bulwark of the nation, and, as such, has become elevated to a position where his word and his work are recognized as the factors It was always intended they should be. He Is now the man of business—of big business. He has forced an appreciation of his work, and the true value has been placed upon it. The big men of the country today are the farmers, who, with business acumen and forensic forethought are able to tell you—from their books—what it costs to produce a bushel of wheat or a pound of wool. All of which Is intended to prove that farming Is a business, as much as banking or selling a suit of clothes. It is an Industrial business, with more certain profits than accompany any other line of trade. It is a manufacturing enterprise, devoid of any of the dangers that the frills of fashion's follies and desires force upon ordinary pursuits. Food is something that all must have and the farmer produces It The cheaper it can be produced the less will be the cost to the consumer. And this is one of the ehlef thoughts of the farmer. Within the memory of the ten-year-old boy there have been Improvements in machinery, changes In methods, scientific discoveries of chemicals as adapted to agriculture, all of which have lessened cost of production and made possible the cultivation of increased acres. In some parts these things have brought about more intensified agriculture, growing heavier crops on less acres. Improved machinery and demand for greater production have led another class in search of larger areas, where their-ability may cope with the growing of a greater number of bushels. That Is one of the reasons why Western Canada lands have recently come Into such demand. These, at from twenty to thirty dollars an acre, and producing the prodigious crops that are claimed for them, have attracted thousands of American settlers, while other thousands have gone out Into the lands In the Western states. But as to the Canada lands, there Is this to say of them, today they are cheap, and if they will yield sufficient in one year to pay the cost of the entire purchase, why should not there be a demand. The country is well settled, and settlement is Increasing. As evidence of the growth of the three Western Provinces Into whose territories the Canadian Government Invites settlers, recent reports show the following increases from 1913 to 1917 inclusive: Value of Field Crops 1913 191T Manitoba ...$64,557,000 $137,470,550 Saskatchewan 129.376.000 349,488.200 Alberta . . . . 46,712,000 176.96S.800 Total $240,645,000 $663,924,550 The total value of field crops for 1917 was $663,924,550, produced on lees than 59,000,000 acres of land. Further evidence of prosperity and progress Is found In the Government estimate of the value of farm lands, and increase In value since 1908: 1908 1916 Manitoba 27.30 32.03 Saskatchewan 20.40 23.07 Alberta 18.20 22,18 It will be observed that the average price of lands has not kept pace with their producing value. It Is therefore pointed out that the opportunities for the purchase of high-class land Is still within the reach of those with limited 'means. A good Idea of advancement In a country's progress may be obtained by a knowledge of what has been done In the production of cattle, and when rhese figures are studied tn coonecttoo with Western Canada, a country whose fame having been heralded aa a graingrowing country, giving the idea that that was what it woo moody adapted to, tt will he realised that there la there a vast storehouse of wealth awaiting those who choose to toko advantage of It Ie the throe io 1912 there were potato, miles other cattle, sheep and swine, four million head, while in 1917 the number was seven million. In 1901 the entire population was 419,512; in 1916 1,608,220. One marvels at the rapid progress of the United States during the nineteenth century. But America's opportunities for growth at the beginning of that century were uothing compared to the opportunities which are Canada's at the present time. The fact that Canada has as its next door neighbor a nation of over 100,000,- 000—the richest nation in the w o r l d - Is bound to have a stimulating effect on its progress. Already one sees signs of It on every hand. Canada not only lias the largest area of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any country, but this land is already made available by u network of railways. Cost of production of grain Is lower thun elsewhere, while the prices are on a basis of those of the United Sta tes.—Advertisement. In the Soup. A rookie was home on a furlough.

When Mr. Bowser entered his family drug store the other evening he found a middle-aged man dressed in a khaki uniform to show that he belonged to the army. The druggist saw that Mr. Bowser was working up a fatherly expression of face and was likely to have something to say, and he gave the soldier boy the wink. **So we have a recruit here?" aaid Mr. Bowser a minute later. "Yes," was the reply. **I am glad to see yoa, sir," continued Mr. Bowser. "I am glad to see you In that uniform. It shows, sir, that you love your country and are enrolled among patriots, Instead of skulking from place to place to keep out of the army. One would say, from reading the papers, that at least onehalf of the American nation -was composed of cravens. It did not used to be so In my time. We had trouble In keeping the young men out of the army Instead of getting them Into It." "So I have heard, sir," replied the soldier. "I want to give you some little advice, if you will take it kindly. Put your heart into the work." , "I have, sir." "Be ready for drill any time drill is ready for you/* "Yes, sir; I shall be." "The trouble with a raw recruit Is that he gets homesick almost Immediately he is in the army. Plght against it. You can conquer that as you conquer the foe." "I shall try my best, sir." "You may want to see your dear old mother, and have her pat you on the back, but you can't see her; and gulf and I slutll keep my temper. You are very kit»U. sir, to talk to me aa you do." "Oh, that's all right," replied Mr. Bowser, in his off-haud way. "1 wish that I could talk to a thousand of you raw recruits. It might save you much trouble. -"You have been uaed to lying In bed until nine or ten o'clock in the morning, aad then eomlxig dswn to find your coffee and toast and fried eggs and bacon all ready for you." "That's the way, sir." "All raw recruits are prone to nnd fault about their rattens," continued Mr. Bowser. "Bear this in mind and do not kick. It will do you no good if you do. You may smell the fried oysters cooking for your colonel, but remember the gulf. Uncle Sam intends to feed you well, but there will be times when circumstances prevent. If they deal out a ration of raw turnips to you, eat them and say nothing. Do not go wandering about camp and asking the other men if you are not entitled to butter, scrambled eggs, golden bacon, French fried potatoes and Java coffee. There Is always enough kickers about to start a rebellion if you speak encouraging words, and your dear old mother will hear that you have been shot as a mutineer instead of dying as a hero in battle." "You are very good, sir," said the soldier, as he winked at the druggist with his other eye. "I have eaten as many as 20 scrambled eggs at once, but I shall learn to curb my appetite. "It may happen," said Mr. Bowser, as he wiped a tear from his eyes, "that you will get a letter stating that your dear old mother Is dead of pneumonia. She got it by going out In a blizzard to bring In a handful of wood. Her last thought was of you. She gasped out: Oh, my son!' or something of that kind, and was off to that happy land where soldiers are never seen." "Yes, sir, I shall expect such a letter." "But do net let It shock you too much. If you weep over it, turn your back to the other boys or go off into the brush somewhere. Set you teeth hard together and do not give away." "That will be me, sir." "And now about a battle," continued Mr. Bowser, as he swelled out his chest. "Be on call at any moment. Take your place In the ranks and see "Keep Right on Until You Have Removed a Dozen." ff you make a good fight of it the feeling will soon wear off. Even the bravest men have been known to be homesick at times for the first few weeks." "Others have told me the same thing," said the soldier. "You may want to see the hens, the hogs, the sheep and the old spotted cow, but conquer the feeling. Tell yourself that you are in the army to stay until the foe is conquered. If you hear a- band playing 'Home, Sweet Home.' do not let your eyes fill with tears." "No, sir; I will keep my eye dry." "That's the way I like to hear a man talk. There's another thing, You will be under officers fresh from West Point They are great hands to boss and put on style. You must know there is a great gulf between officers and privates. You may be cleaning your rllle, and preparing to slay half a dozen of the foe, when an officer will come up to yon and call you a son of a sea cook, a skunk (n the brush and Iota of other hard names. He does not do tt to be mean, but it's only his way, you see. Do not eaaa back, bat smile aa yon look at htm. He will become ashamed of himself and walk away." "Yea, sir, I will do that/* replied me soldier. "I shall want to knock him down, but I know all about that that your rifle is loaded and the bayonet on tight You are going to charge the enemy. Do not be surprised if half your regiment la wiped out Pay no attention to groans and screams of the wounded, but press forward and give the foe your bayonet Strike hard and strike home. Do not be content with removing a single foe, but keep right on until you have removed a dozen. Then you can come back to camp and have something to brag of." "Yes, sir, I shall kill at least a dozen." "Perhaps you know something about soldiering V suggested Mr. Bowser, as he detected a faint smile on the soldier's face. "Well—wen—«r, I ought to, I think, as I have been 20 years In the regular army." Mr. Bowser had wasted his time. He stood with mouth open, while the soldier went out with a salute at the door, and then the druggist said: "Bowser, a few of us are trying to raise $100 for the Bed Cross fund. Will you pat your name down on this list for a $10 contribution r Aad Mr. Bowser wrote his name on the list, and handed over the $10 and went borne to keep so quiet the real of the evening that Mrs, Bowser wondered If be waa developing a case of appendicitis.

'With great Respec yore "Frien liza rankin." Lavinia read the letter over and over again. She could make nothing of it but a Jumble of words all but illegibly written. Not a comma, not a period. She glanced at the name : liza rankln, and light came to her. The meaning of the letter became clear. Her throat contracted with an uncomfortable ache and tears hid the package in her lap at which she fumbled with unseeing eyes. It was roughly and insecurely tied and she wondered how it had come intact through the mails. As the thought flashed through her mind a smaller package dropped upon the floor. With an exclamation she picked up yards of beautifully fine and Intricate tatting. Examining the contents of the larger bundle, she found it contained several sets of table mats with crocheted borders and coarse, homespun linen centers. Her mind went back to the summer just past and the several summers before when she had helped spin the cloth from flax raised In the little clearing about the cabin. If she had been asked she could not have told how she had heard of the little home in the Tennessee mountains across the border from Virginia, but each summer thereafter had found her a visitor, and she and Eliza Rankin had become fast friends. She had helped Eliza make her wedding dress; had returned to the mountain for the wedding, taking with her from her own store of furniture enough to make comfortable the tiny tworoom log house that was to be Eliza's future home. She had been with her when the child was bora; had been with her when, dry-eyed, the griefstricken mother had laid the still little form In Its crib for the last time, and It was In the rough little cabin that Lavinia came under the influence that altered the course of her own life when she raised her head from her spinning and met the keen, questioning gray eyes of the mountain doctor who had stopped for a moment to ask for a drink of milk. She met him often In her wanderings about the mountain, but abide from the pleasure of an occasional meeting she had given him no thought until she raised her head that day and her eyes, were held by the dominant gray ones of the man standing in the doorway. She felt as if he was reading her very soul. Filled with- resentment, the angry color flooded her face under his merciless gaze. Indignantly she straightened in her chair. Then, to her everlasting shame, she left the spinning wheel and walked directly into his arms. She left the mountain the next day. There was a long wait at Bristol before the arrival of the north-bound train, but almost as it came into sight Doctor Cochran crossed the platform to her side. "Eliza told me you had gone. Why?" he had asked abruptly. She had looked at hlra coolly, critically. A big, awkward but powerfully built man, coarsely clothed with his blue homespun shirt open at the throat and sleeves pushed carelessly back from bis muscular arms. Her very silence brought to him a realization of her thought. "Oh! That's it! A mountain man is not good enough! You want the fine clothes, the suavity and convention to which you are accustomed. Ton can have them if you w a n t I do not doubt i t But whoever he be be will never have what you have given to the mountaineer." She had risen and faced him. "How dare yon—" He had laughed roughly in Interruption. "Dare? I dare anything, my dear young lady, and I tell you plainly that In that half hour In Eliza Rankin's cabin you gave me what you will . never give another man, and that was your soul," and turning on his heel ho left her aa the train pulled into the station. She beard from him once, months later. He wrote that he had volunteered and must see her before he leit for France. The note was unanswered. H e did not come, and aa the days pouwed she knew her day of reckoning was upon her; that she had let him go to his work thinking her heartless. It ail cuuie back as she looked at the work in her lap and as she let the beautiful tatting slip over her fingers her resolution was taken. Naturally she met opposition when she told her family she was going to the mountain for a brief stay, but ah* went on about the carrying out of her plan and blessed the aunt who left her a small legacy to do with as she would. Knowing that the railroads were congested by the movement of troops, she hired a motortruck to carry food and told the chauffeur she was going with him across the width of Virginia. His expression spoke volumes and when out of hearing uttered words not intended for a woman's ears. She persuaded a married friend to accompany her. This she regretted later on, for the cold was intense and there was tire trouble. To her it meant delay, but her friend could see nothing in the trip but her own folly In jlelding to Lavinia's wishes. "I will leave you at Hot Springs and go alone," Lavinia told her at l a s t "It was really too much to ask of you." "I will keep on until we reach a railroad," Mrs. Howard answered shortly. "When we come to that bond with civilization I will leave you to your own devices. What on earth put such an Idea into your head. Couldn't you have sent the things by freight?" "Eliza and the others need food, and this is the quickest way to get it to them," Lavinia answered. Fortunately her chauffeur was a Virginian and had come from the section of the state to which she was going. He had known the Ranklns and Wades. "We played together when we was kids," he told her. "It'll go hard with the women In the mountains with their men gone." For a moment he looked troubled. "I s'pose you wonder why a husky feller like me is a stay-at- 'home. I ain't no slacker. I has a wife an* five kids an' the orfercer tol' me to stay at home an' take kyar of 'em." Never In her life before had Lavinia been so conscious of the comforts of fire as when she entered the log cabin an hour later, stiff and shivering. But it wasn't much of a Are, just a handful of sticks upon which Eliza threw a few pine cones tha* blazed up at once. Standing before it, Lavinia looked about. There was but the one room. Side by side in one corner stood two beds covered with gay patchwork quilts. Four bright eyes peered at her from the farthest one. From the nearer came a slight moan. "I did not know anyone was sick, Eliza." "Liz wore Jes' po'ly when I writ, miss, honey. She give up las' ntgh\ I put the chllrun in bed to keep warm. Moll is out trytn' to git wood. Miss, honey, I shorely think the Lord dun sent you." "There must be someone who can get wood for you," Lavinia said. "Where la Jake Fox? He is too old to be called." For a moment Eliza did not answer. "He's a-haulln' for money an' we alls dldn' have none." Lavinia opened her purse. "Give hlra this and tell him to hurry with a load." The mountain woman drew back. "I ain't beggln', honey." "Of course not. 1 expect you to pay it back. But now I am cold and hungry and we will talk about it after a while." and throwing aside her wraps, she went over to speak to Lizzie Crawford. For a week she watched beside that bed in the corner, resting between times In a big chair before the fire. At the end of that time as she w a s bending over the bed the door w a s thrown open and a hearty voice s a i d : "I came back to take a look around before I left for France, Eliza; heard Lizzie was sick and came over to see what was the matter." The voice stopped short. "You!" For . a second of time Lavinia thought she would suffocate with the beating of her heart then Rhe said quietly : *'I heard they were In trouble, so I came." The man's hand was not quite Steady as he reached over and laid his fingers upon Llzsle's w r i s t "There is no fever. I think—" He caught sight of Lavinia's eyes and turned abruptly away. Her gaze followed him, then rested upon the compass q u i l t the figure of which she began to trace absently with her finger. 8he had thought him in France, now that he was here there were things she must say to him and they would take courage. H e interrupted her thought "Come here," he said peremptorily. "I must see your eyes again. They gave me your soul once. Convention and training hid them from sight I am wondering If it was forever." There was just an Instant of pause, her eyes held by his as she went toward him and again, as that first time, she walked directly Into bis CHANGE IN THE FARMER'S LIFE u Making a Living" Idea Has Developed Into a "Money Making Fact" A few years ugo—and not so many at that—moat farmers were satisfied if they saw ahead of them the opportunity to make a fair living, a reasonable competence in their falling years, and an assurance of an existence for their families. They worked hard, and tilled their acres with this end iu view. Honest struggle, earnest effort and a true conception of upright manhood, together with the increasing knowledge that upou the fruits of their endeavor rested the structure of the world, whose people had to be fed and maintained. Economy In method, improved conditions of working, have added to the fanner's possibilities, and today instead of being a plodder for an existence, which his early training had bred into hiin, he has become the bulwark of the nation, and, as such, has become elevated to a position where his word and his work are recognized as the factors it was always intended they should be. He is now the man of business—of big business. He has forced an appreciation of his work, and the true value has been placed upon it. The big men of the country today are the farmers, who, with business acumen and forensic forethought are able to tell you—from their books—what it costs to produce a bushel of wheat or a pound of wool. All of which \» intended to prove that farming Is a business, as much as banking or selling a suit of clothes. It is an industrial business, with more certain profits than accompany any other line of trade. It is a manufacturing enterprise, devoid of any of the dangers that the frills of fashion's follies and desires force upon ordinary pursuits. Food is something that all must have and the farmer produces it. The cheaper it can be produced the less will be the cost to the consumer. And this is one of the ehief thoughts of the farmer. Within the memory of the ten-year-old boy there have been Improvements in machinery, changes In methods, scientific discoveries of chemicals as adapted to agriculture, all of which have lessened cost of production and made possible the cultivation of increased acres. In some partB these things have brought about more intensified agriculture, growing heavier crops on less acres. Improved machinery and demand for greater production have led another class In search of larger areas, where their-ability may cope with the growing of a greater number of bushels. That is one of the reasons why Western Canada lands have recently come Into such demand. These, at from twenty to thirty dollars an acre, and producing the prodigious crops that are claimed for them, have attracted thousands of American settlers, while other thousands have gone out Into the lands in the Western states. B u t as to the Canada lands, there Is this to say of them, today they are cheap, and If they will yield sufficient in one year to pay the cost of the entire purchase, why should not there be a demand. The country Is well settled, and settlement Is Increasing. As evidence of the growth of the three Western Provinces into whose territories the Canadian Government Invites settlers, recent reports show the following Increases from 1913 to 1917 Inclusive: Value of Field Crops 1913 1917 Manitoba . . . $ 6 4 , 5 5 7 , 0 0 0 $137.470.550 Saskatchewan 129,376,000 349.438.200 Alberta . . . . 46,712.000 176,965,800 Total $240,645,000 $663,924,550 The total value of field crops for 1917 was $663,924,550, produced on less than 59,000,000 acres of land. ' Further evidence of prosperity and progress Is found in the Government estimate of the value of farm lands, and Increase In value since 1908: 1908 1916 Manitoba 27.30 32.03 Saskatchewan 20.40 23.07 Alberta 18.20 22.18 It will be observed that the average price of lands has not kept pace with their producing value. It Is therefore pointed out that the opportunities for the purchase of high-class land is still within the reach of those with limited means. A good idea of advancement In a country's progress may be obtained by a knowledge of what has been done In the production of cattle, and when these figures are studied in connection with Western Canada, a country whose fame having been heralded as a graingrowing country, giving the idea that that was what It was mostly adapted te, it will be realised that there is there a vast storehouse of wealth awaiting those who choose to take advantage of i t l a the three provinces in 1912 there were horses, milch other cattle, sheep and swine, four million head, while in 1917 the number was seven million. Iu 1901 the entire population was 419,512; in 1910 1,008,220. One marvels at the rapid progress of the United States during the nineteenth century. But America's opportunities for growth at the beginning of that century were nothing compared to the opportunities which are Canada's at the present time. The fact that Canada has aa its next door neighbor a nation of over 100,000,- 000—the richest nation in the w o r l d - is bound to have a stimulating effect ou its progress. Already one sees signs of it on every hand. Canada not only has the largest area of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any country, but this land is already made available by a network of railways. Cost of production of grain Is lower than elsewhere, while the prices are on a basis of those of the United States.—Advertisement. in the Soup. A rookie was home on a furlough.

When Mr. Bowser entered his family drug store the other evening he found a middle-aged man dressed In a khaki uniform to show that he belonged to the army. The druggist saw that Mr. Bowser was working up a fatherly expression of face and was likely to have something to say, and he gave the soldier boy the wink. "So we have a recruit here?" said Mr. Bowser a minute later. "Yes," was the reply. MI am glad to see you, sir," continued Mr. Bowser. "I am glad to see you In that uniform. It shows, sir, that you love your country and are enrolled among patriots, Instead of skulking from place to place to keep out of the army. One would say, from reading the papers, that at least one* half of the American nation w a s composed of cravens. It did not used to be so in my time. We had trouble in keeping the young men out of the army Instead of getting them Into It." "So I have heard, air," replied the soldier. "I want to give you some little advice, if you will take it kindly. Put your heart into the work." / "I have, sir." "Be ready for drill any time drill ts ready for you." "Yes, sir; I shall be." "The trouble with a raw recruit Is that he gets homesick almost Immediately he Is in the army. Fight against It. You can conquer that as you conquer the foe." "I shall try my best, sir." "You may want to see your dear old mother, and have hec pat you on the back, but you can't see her; and "gulf and T shall kevp my temper. You are very kind, sir, to talk lo me aa you do." "Oh, that's till right," replied Mr. Bowser, in his off-hand way. "1 wish that I could talk to u thousand of you raw recruits. It might save you much trouble. "You have been used to lying In bed until nine or ten o'clock In the morning, and thea coming down to find your coffee and toast and fried eggs and bacon all ready for you." "That's the way, sir." "All r a « recruits are prone to find fault about their rations," continued Mr. Bowser. "Bear this In mind and do not kick. It will do you no good If you do. You may einel} the fried oysters cooking for your colonel, but remember the gulf. Uncle Sam Intends to feed y o u well, but there will be times when circumstances prevent. If they deal out a ration of raw turnips to you, eat them and say nothing. Do not go wandering about camp and asking the other men if you are not entitled to butter, scrambled eggs, golden bacon, French fried potatoes and Java coffee. There is always enough kickers about to start a rebellion if you speak encouraging words, and your dear old mother will hear that you have been shot as a mutineer instead of dying as a hero In battle." "You are very good, sir," said the soldier, as he winked at the druggist with his other eye. "I have eaten as many as 20 scrambled eggs at once, but I shall learn to curb my appetite. "It may happen," said Mr. Bowser, as he wiped a tear from his eyes, "that you will get a letter stating that your dear old mother Is dead of pneumonia. She got it by going out In a blizzard to bring In a handful of wood. Her last thought w a s of you. She gasped out: 'Oh, my son!' or something of that kind, and was off to that happy land where soldiers are never seen." "Yes, sir, I shall expect such a letter." "But do not let it shock you too much. If you weep over it, turn your back to the otjier boys or go off Into the brush somewhere. Set you teeth hard together and do not give away."

BUY LIBERTY BONDS TO VERY LIMIT OF RESOURCES Everyone Should Oive the Boys "Ovei There" the Financial Support Needed for Victory. An article recently published in som< papers of the central West gave an or roneou>j iniprension as to the part the fanner should play In financing th« great struggle for liberty and world freedom. It suggested that the farinei should not borrow money with which to buy Liberty bonds—that he should not "inconvenience himself" in lending financial support at this critical Unit in the history of the nation. This is no time to think of Inconvenience at home. If inconvenience it to be the basis of thought, let the American farmer consider first the In convenience of the boys on the firing line in France. At this particular time it Is up to all Americans to make sacrifices. This Is no time to think of comfortable financial circumstances and freedom from inconvenience. The government is at a great deal of ln« convenience. If the boys at the blazing, thunderous front are standing in muddy trenches dodging shell splinters and Hun bullets and facing the terrible 'gas attacks, there Is no reason why the farmer at home should not extend himself to help out. Don't think of inconvenience. Think of the inconvenience and danger of your son, or your neighbor's son, at the front, and buy Liberty bonds to the limit. Stretch your financial system to the breaking point, if need be, to support your government and the boys who are actually engaged in the business of fighting your fight. If you haven't the money at hand to do your full duty toward the great cause, go out and borrow it from your bank—borrow so that you may buy bonds "until it hurts." Your financial support m&y be n measure of your practical patriotism—and the nation needs practical patriots at this critical peri'>d. Don't think of inconvenience—think only of success.

The preparatory stage of the war has passed for this country, says Mr. Scott, and the time has arrived when every resource, human and material must be placed- at the disposal of the government. "If it can be said there has been a preliminary stage of our share in the war it is over now," says the government's Industrial director. "Our troops are already In France, and we have begun the actual raising of a huge army here at home to be sent abroad when the time Is ripe. We have passed the period of expectation.

READ •i'te m K ft -nm j < f l f l p *? x*': ^1¾¾^ ^ PINCKNEY DISPATCH €i OVER THE TOP W By An American Arthur Guy Empey SoldierWhoWent Machine Gunner, Serving in France Oopmihi 1917, »y Artkmr Owj EMPEY GETS INTO THE FRONT LINE TRENCH—AND WISHES HE WERE BACK IN JERSEY CITY. 8ynop«ls,—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitanla, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he Is sent to training quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of *'cooties." CHAPTER II.—Continued. The greatest shock a recruit gets fcken he arrives at his battalion in France Is to see the men engaging in a "cootie" hunt With an air of contempt and disgust he avoids the company of the older men, until a couple of days later, in a torment of Itching, he also has to resort to a shirt hunt, or spend many a sleepless night of misery, During these hunts there are lots of pertinent remarks bandied back and forth among the explorers, such as, "Say, Bill, I'll swap you two little ones for a big one," or, 'Tve got a black one here that looks like Kaiser Bill." One sunny day in the front-line trench* I saw three officers sitting outside of 'their dugout ("cooties" are no respecters of rank; I have even noticed a suspicious uneasiness about a certain well-known general), one of them was ia major, two of them were exploring their shirts, paying no attention to the occasional shells which passed overhead. The major was writing a letter; every now and then he would lay aside* (his writing-pad, search his shirt for a few minutes, get an inspiration, and then resume writing. At last he finished his letter and gave it to his "runner." I was curious to see whether he was writing to an Insect firm, so when the runner passed me I engaged him lln conversation and got a glimpse at the address on the envelope. It waa addressed to Miss Alice Somebody, in London. The "runner" informed me that Miss Somebody was the major's sweetheart and that he wrote to her every day. Just imagine it, writing a love letter during a "cootie" hunt; but such is the creed of the trenches. CHAPTER III. I Go to Church. Upon enlistment we had identity disks issued to us. Those were small disks of red fiber worn around the neck by means of a string. Most of the Tommies also used a little metal disk which they wore around the left wrist by means of a chain. They had previously figured it out that if their heads were blown off, the disk on the left wrist would Identify them. If they lost their left arm the disk around the neck would serve the purpose, but if their head and" left arm were blown off, no one would care who they were, so It did not matter. On one side of the^L dJiBk was inscribed your rank, name, number and battalion, while on the other was stamped your religion. C, of E„ meaning Church of England ; R. C., Roman Catholic; W., Wesifeyan; P., Presbyterian; but If yon happened to be an atheist they left it blank, and just handed you a pick and shovel. On my disk was stamped C. of E. This Is how I got It: The lieutenant who enlisted me asked my religion. ;I was not sure of the religion of thfc British army, so I answered, "Oh, any old thing," and he promptly put down C. of E. Now, just imagine my hard luck. Out of five religions I was unlucky enough to pick the only one where church parade was compulsory I The next morning was Sunday. I was sitting in the billet writing home to my sister telling her of my wonderful exploits while under fire—all recruits do this. The sergeant major put his head in the door of the billet and shouted: "C. of E. outside for church parade!" I kept on writing. Turning to me, In a loud voice, he asked, "Empey, aren't you C. of E.?" I answered, "Yep." In an angry tone, he commanded, "Don't you 'yep' me. Say, 'Yes, sergeant major."" "I did so. Somewhat mollified, he ordered, "Outside for church parade." I looked up and answered, "I am not going to church this morning." He said, "Oh, yes, you are!" I answered, "Oh, no, I'm notT—But I went. We lined up outside with rifles and bayonets, 120 rounds of ammunition, wearing our tin hats, and the march to church began. After marching about five kilos, we turned off the road into an open field. At one end of this field the chaplain was standing. In a limber. We formed a semicircle around him. Overhead there was a black speck circling round and round In the sky. This was a German Fokker. The chaplain had a book In his left hand—left eye on the book—right eye on the airplane. We Tommies were lucky, we had no books, so had both eyes on the airplane. After church parade we were marched back to our billets, and played football all afternoon. CHAPTER IV. "Into the Trench." The next morning the draft was Inspected by our general, and we were assigned to different companies. The boys in the brigade had nicknamed this general Old Pepper, and he certainly earned the sobriquet. I was assigned to B company with another American named Stewart For the next ten days we "rested," repairing roads for the Frenchles, drilling, and digging bombing trenches. One morning we were informed that we were going up the line, and our march began. It took us three days to reach reserve billets—each day's march bringing the sound of the guns nearer and nearer. At night way off in the distance we could see their flashes, which lighted up the sky with a red glare. Against the horizon we could see numerous observation balloons or "sausages" as they are called. On the afternoon of the third day's march I witnessed my first airplane being shelled. A thrill ran through me and I gazed in awe. The airplane was # : r J?.- • •'.-V fSWr,.' making wide circles in the air, while little puffs of white smoke were bursting air around It These puffs appeared like tiny balls of cotton while after «ach burst could be beard a dull "plop." The sergeant of my platoon informed us that it was a German airplane and I wondered how he could tell from such a distance because the plane seemed tike a little black speck In the sky. I expressed my doubt as to whether it was English, French or German. With a look of contempt he further informed us that the allied antiaircraft shells when exploding emitted white smoke while the German shells gave forth black smoke, and, as he expressed It, "It must be an Allemand because our pom-poms are shelling, and I know our batteries are not off their bally nappers aad are certainly not strafelng our own planes, and another piece of advice—don't chuck your weight about until you've been up the line and learnt something." I Immediately quit "chucking my weight about" from that time on. Just before reaching reserve billets we were marching along, laughing, and singing one of Tommy's trench ditties: I want to go home, I want to so home, I 'don't want to go to the trenches no more Where sausages and whizz-bang's are galore. Take m© over the sea, Where the Allemand can't get at me. Oh, my, I don't want to die. I want to go homer-" when overhead came a "swish" through the air, rapidly followed by three others. Then about two hundred yards to our left in a large field, four columns of black earth and smoke rose into the air, and the ground trembled from the sky uud we could hear the fragment! slapping the ground above us on our right und left. Then a Fritz would traverse back and forth with his "typewriter" or machine gun. The bullets made a sharp cracking uolse overhead. The boy In front of me named Prentice crumpled up without a word. A piece of shell hud goue through his shrapuel-proof helmet. I felt sick and weak. In about thirty minutes we reached the front line. It waa dark as pitch. Every now and then a German star shell would pierce the blackness out in front with lta silvery light. I was trembling all over, and felt very lonely and afraid. All orders were given in whispers. The company we relieved filed past us and disappeared into the blackness of the communication trench leading to the rear. As they passed us, they whispered, "The best o' luck mates." I sat on the fire step of the trench with the rest of the men. In each traverse two of the older men had b*V> put on guard with their heads sticking over the top, and with their eyes trying to pierce the blackness in "No Man's Land." In this trench rhere were only two dugouts, and these were used by Lewis and Vlckers machine gunners, so It was the fire step for ours. Pretty Boon It started to rain. We put on our "macks," but they were not much protection. The rain trickled down our backs, and it was not long before we were wet and cold. How I passed that night I will never know, but without any unusual occurrence, dawn arrived. The word "stand down" was passed along the line, and the sentries got down off the fire step. Pretty soon the rum Issue came along, and it was a 1 Godsend. It warmed our chilled bodies and put new life Into us. Then from the communication trenches came dixies or Iron pots, filled with steaming tea, which had two wooden stakes through their handles, and were carried by two men. I filled my canteen and drank the hot tea without taking it from my lips. It was not long before I was asleep in the mud on the fire step. My ambition had been attained! I was in a front-line trench on the western front, and oh, how I wl&hed I were back in Jersey City. Empey takes his first turn on the firing step of the trench while the machine gun bullets whiz over his head. He soon learns why Tommy has adopted the motto, "If you're golag to get it, you'll get It, so nevtr worry." Don't miaa the next Installment '" INTERN-V. :;)NAi. _>N£w3^tRVfCf. A Bomb Proof. report—the explosion of four German five-nine's, or "eoalboxes." A sharp whistle blast, immediately followed by two short ones, rang out from the head of our column. This was to take up "artillery formation." We divided into small squads and went into the fields on the right and left of the road, and crouched on the ground. No other shells followed this salvo. It waa our first baptism by shell fire. Prom the waist up I was all enthusiasm, but from there down, everything was missing. I thought I should die with fright After awhile, we reformed Into columns of fours, and proceeded on our way. About five that night we reached the ruined village of H , and I got my first sight of the awful destruction caused by German Kultur. Marching down the main street we came to the heart of the village, and took up quarters In ahellproof cellars (shellproof until hit by a shell). Shells were constantly whistling over the village and bursting in onr rear, searching for oar artillery. These cellars were cold, damp and smelly, and overran with large r a t s - big black fellows. Host of the Tommies slept with their overcoats over their faces. I did not *In the middle of the night I woke up In terror. The cold, clammy feet of a rat had passed over my face.

NEW AND GREATER THINGS Possibility Ever Open to Mankind ar the Periods Dividing Life Are Successively Crossed. The poetry of all growing life consists in carrying an oldness into a newness, a past into a future, always. So only can our days possibly be bound "each to each by natural piety." I would not for the world think that 20 years hence I should have ceased to see the things which I see now, nnd love them still. It would make life wearisome beyond expression if I thought that 20 years hence I should see them Just as I see them now, and love them with no deeper love because of other visions of their lovableness. And so there comes this deep and simple rule of any man as he crosses the line dividing one period of his life from another, the same rule which he may use also as he passes through any critical occurrence of his life. Make it a time In which you shall realize your faith, und HISO in which you shall expect of your faith new and greater things. Take what you believe and are, and hold it in your hand with a new firmness as you go forward; but look on it with continual and confident expectation to see it open into something greater and truer.—Phillips Brooks.

DL Bringing the War Home D AMERICANS REPULSE FOE RAID U. S. Troops Successfully Repulse Ataoks On Position—Two Enemy Planes Shot Down By American Aviators. London—Stiffening British reisst ance has checked the German drive southward from the Lys toward Bethune and westward from Merville toward Hazebrouck, near the Belgian border, according to April 15 dispatches. Enemy pressure is continuing with great weight toward the north and desperate battling Is in progress along the line running southwest from Mes- •ines to the south of Bailleul. The whole Ypres salient and the continued safety of the channel ports are pointed to by observers abroad as at stake in the fighting now under way. Hazebrouck and BalHeul, important railway centers, are vital feeding points for Messinea ridge and the Ypres position in general. Americans Repulse Foe Raid. With the American Army in France — Preceded by an intense bombardment of high explosives and poisoned gas shells, picked troops from four German companies hurled themselves against the American positions on the right bank of the Meuse north of St. Mihiel early Sunday, but were completely repulsed after terrific hand-tohand fighting. Two German fighting planes were shot down inside the American lines by Lieutenants A. S. Wliislow, Chicago, and Douglas Campbell, California. Kach men downed one machine. Both the enemy aviators were made prisoner. It is believed Lieutenant Campbell Is the first graduate of a strictly American school to bring down an enemy machine. DETROIT FIRST BIG CITYUVERTHETOP" O V E R S U B S C R I B E S T H I R D LOAN Q U O T A O F $36,000,00X3 IN LESS T H A N F I V E DAYS. FARMERS PROVE PATRIOTISM Campaign in State Demonstrates That Ruralites Are as Willing to Give Money as Cities Are. British Lose Armentieres. gious and mightiest guns far to the north of the Picardy battlefield, Field Marshal von Hindenburg now is driving attack after attack against British lines between Arras and Ypres. Charging across the level country be. hind a tempest of high explosive and gas shells, the Germans, on April 11, succeeded In penetrating British defenses at points over a front of nearly 30 miles to a depth of almost six miles Just to the south of Ypres. The loss of Armentieres is admitted by the British, but this was expected from the trend of events in that sector during the last few days. Tha enemy had driven in on both aides of the town and holding out longer by the British would have imperiled the whole line. So far as known, withdrawal of British forces from Armentieres was orderly and was only for the purpose of straightening the line in the region where the German pressure is heavlensr. The drive south of Ypree has devel oped into a major operation, it would appear, and t h e Germans, using their massed attack system, are not counting losses Inflicted upon them in their advance. So far they have gained little of great tactical value. The high ground along the front Is still held by the British forces and the retirements here and there have not SB yet endangered the integrity of the line from Arras to the North sea. Detroit - After only four and onehalf days campaigning "Detroit the Dynamic" passed its quota of $36,000,- 000 and is now working to roll up thy total $15,000,000, or $20,000,000 higher. Detroit's accomplishment again, as in the first and second loan drives, gives it first place among the country's largest cities, and , just as in the other two campaigns, it is the first big city in the land to over-subscribe its quota. Farmer* Prove Patriotism. Lansing—With the cities continuing to snap up Liberty bonds as the drive continues in Michigan, and with Detroit over her quota of $36,000,000, reports are beginning to come in to Liberty loan headquarters all over the state that the farmers are backing this loan as they did not back either the first or the second issues. In Washtenaw county for instance, of 35 farmers, approached by solicitors the first day of the rural campaign, bought bonds and practically none of them had bought any of the previous loans because they had not been asked. There, as elsewhere, lack of selling organization and not dis. loyalty on the part of the farmers, iR declared to have been resopnsible for light buying in rural districts. HOTELS MAY CLOSE ALL BARS Action Forecast in Recommendation to Sell Only Light Wine and Beer. Britain's Army at Bay. London—Great Britain's armies stand at bay in France and Flanders. After three weeks of a combat which has eclipsed anything that has raged during three and a half years of warfare, Field Marshal Halg has issued a command to his men to hold their ground at whatever cost, and fight with the knowledge their blows are •truck "for the safety of their homes and the freedom of mankind" The end of the first phase of this giant struggle now may be considered as passed. "There must be no retirement," is Half's admonition, which adds the British are now fighting -with their backs to the walls." Th order issued by the field marshal contains another sentence which may W piiSjMnt with significance. "The frmmii m y Is storing rapidly and in great force to mt support.'' he said, a*4 this fa the irst official intimation fist Allies mm reedy to strike hack at Chicago—Abolition of bars in all hotels in the United States and Canado was forecast in an announcement by the executive coancil of the American Hotel association. Declaring the interests of the hotel business paramount to those of the saloon, the council strongy advocated that the sale of Hqour be confined to light wines and bear. This would mean closing of all bar rooms in connection with hotels and a ban on the sale of whisky, gin and other strong drinks, according to J. K. Blatchford, of Chicago, a member of the council LYNCHERS HELD FOR MURDER Jury Recommends Hangers Be T r i e d — Victim Buried in Flag. Collinsville, III.—The coroner's jury which investigated the lyinching here of Robert E. Prager, alleged German sympathizer, at the close of the ?n quest recommended that five men be held, charged with murder, in connection with the hanging. The men ordered held a r e : Joseph Riegei, Wesley Beaver, Richard Dukos, Enid Elmore and William Broekmeier. % Victim Wrapped in Old Glory. S t Louis. Mo—The dying wish of Robert P. Prager, hanged by a mob of coal miners at Collinsville, 111., that h# be buried with an American flag, was respected when services, attended by more than SO* persons, were conduct ed at an undertaking chapel. The service was in charge of a German branch of the Oddfellows. FLINT BIBLE STUDENTS DUCKED Alleged to Have Made Disloyal Utterances to Bond Salesmen. Flint—Alleged disloyal activities of members of International Bible Stu dents' association in Flint, resulted in the immersion in Flint river Saturday night of Paul E. Mann, colporteur foi the organization, and four foreigners, disciples of the cult. Mann is said to have told Liberty bond salesmen he would not give au American soldier a drink of water, if he thought it would help to win the war. Even after being ducked three times in the river and forced to flee before a vigilance committee, Mann is reported as unchanged in his views. DOUBLE BULKHEADS FOR SHIPS Plan Approved as Most Practical tc Make T h e m Non-Sinkable, Washington—All American mer. chant vessels will be equipped with double the number of bulkheads now carried for protection against torpedoes and mines. The shipping board has approved the plan as the most practical of all the "nonsinkable" schemes, and James C. Stewart, of New York, was asked to undertake supervision of the work. Eight instead of four walls hereafter will divide American ships into compartments, decreasing by 50 per cent the space likely to be flooded after an external explosion, and increasing in the same proportion chances of the vessel reaching port. The bulkheads will be made of fourinch planks, with tongue and groove, and tarred, to make them watertight. They will be kept rigid by one-inch steel beams. Concrete bulkheads originally were suggested, but the wood and steel construction was adopted as being lighter and taking less room. It is estimated that in 400 ships there will be a loss of only 5,000 tons cargo space due to the new walls. HOUSE PASSES QUOTA CHANGE Each Communities' Quota to be Based On Class One Registrants. Washington—The war department's plan for basing draft quotas on the number of registrants in class one instead of on population was sustained in the house after an all-day fight oyer 8 resolution passed by the senate authorizing the change. Opponents of the plan championed an amendment by Representative Shallenberger, Nebraska, to base the quotas on total registration and liability to military service, which was defeated 344 to 118. Another amendment by the Nebraska member, directing that credits on quotas be given for all volunteers in the military or naval service since April 1, 1917, was adopted 292 to 63. SENATE DENIES STRIKE RI6HT Twice Votes Down Clause Giving Labor AuthoHty to Enforce Claims. Washington—The right of workingmen to strike during war times has been twice voted down in the senate within the past week. The first timo when the strike clause was taken out of the "sabotage" bill and the second time when it was attempted to have the clause reconsidered.

S. COLLIER BELIEVED LOST N E A R L Y 300 PERSONS ON BOARD CYCLOPS, O V E R D U E SINCE MARCH 13. SHIP ON WAY FROM BRAZIL Eight Michigan Men Among Crew and Pa.M*cngcn—No Word From Vessel Since March 4. Washington—The big American naval collier Cyclops, carrying 57 passengers, 15 officerb and 221 men in her crew, has been overdue at an Atlantic port since March 13. The navy department announced on April 14, that she was last reported at a West Indies island,, March 4, and that extreme anxiety is entertained as to her safety. The vessel was bringing a cargo of manganese from Brazil. The Cyclops left the West Indies with one of her two engines damaged, but the department said this fact would not have prevented her from communicating by radio and all efforts to reach her by that means have been unsuccessful. A thorough search of the course which she would have followed in coming to port has been made and continues, it was announced. No U-Boats In Course. There have been no reports of German submarines or raiders in the locality in which the collier was, the department's statement said. The weather has not been stormy and hardly could have given the collier trouble. The official announcement by the navy does not give the ship up far lost, but merely says "the navy department feels extremely anxious as to her safety." Eight Michigan Men Abroad. Lieutenant Harvey F. Forbes, U. S, N. R. F., of Port Huron, son of Frank Forbes, Detroit, was second in command of the collier Cyclops, from which the navy department has heard no word since her departure from a West Indian port for an Atlantic port of the United States March 4. Following are the names of other Michigan men in the crew: Martin Lee Chase, seaman.

J. STONE IS DEAD Veteran 8enator Succumbs After 8troke of Palalysis. Washington—Senator William J. Stone, Missouri, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and for many years prominent among Democratic leaders, died here Sunday, April 14, after a stroke of paralysis suffered the Wednesday previous. Senator Stone was born in Madison county, Kentucky, May 7, 1848. He was a member of the Forty-ninth to Fifty-first congresses (1885-91), from the Thirteenth Missouri district. He was governor of Missouri 1893-7, and a member of the Democratic national committee 1896-04 (vice-chairman, 1900-04.) He was a United States senator for the terms 1903-09, 1909-15, 1915-21. He came into much prominence by his pro-peace speeches delivered just before the United States admitted to a state of war with Germany. ANOTHER DRAFT CALL MADE Nearly 50,000 More Men Will Be Taken May 1 to 10. IS PROFITABLE The Future of Great Possibilities. Some idea of ihe great wealth that ihe Wesu'i-n Canada runner hud in view a leu years ago is now beftig realized. The amount received from the sale ut wheal, out*, barley, flux and rvc in 1927 was $-'70,000,000, while the lilies of live stock at Winnipeg alone ueited $40,000,000 additional. Of this sum hogs alone gave over eleven million dolairs. The mcreuses at Calgary and Edmonton were over UlA UlUUu* dollars. ,"' y; Tliis money, so easily earnest, jjkfWr: lug'spent in improvements iirTMlfw property, purchasing additional land, Jjuying tractors, automobiles, and improving home conditions, providing electric light, steam heat, new furniture, pianos, buying Victory bonds, paying up old debts, etc. Over Ave hundred tractors were sold in Southern Alberta la 1917. One implement agent reports that the increase in his business in 1017, over that of 1916, was equal to the total business in 1915. It is the same story all over the country. And it is not this evidence alone which proves the advancement and growth of the three prairie provinces, but the large increase in the number of settlers; the Improvement in the extent of the cultivated areas and agricultural production ; tlie increase in value of which over 191b" was $77,000,000. This wonderful progress that has been made in agriculture in Western Canada is but the beginning which marks the future of the greatest agricultural country on the continent, showing a future of great possibilities. There are millions of acres yet unfiled, and of land as good as any of that which is now giving its owners a return of from twenty to thirty dollars au acre, figures that in many cases represent the cost of the land, with all cultivation costs included. It is true lhat the cost of production has increased during the past few years, but the {trice of the product has also increased to a tigure which leaves a j large balance to the credit of the producer.

After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he is sent to training quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Erapey's company is sent Into the front-line trenches. CHAPTER V. Mud, Rats and Sheila. I must have sJept for two or three Aours, not the refreshing kind that results from clean sheets and soft pillows, but the sleep that comes from cold, wet and sheer exhaustion. Suddenly, the earth seemed to shake and a thunderclap buret in my ears. I opened my eyes—I was splashed all over with sticky mud, and men were picking themselves up from the bottom of the trench. The parapet on my left had toppled into the trench, completely blocking it with a wall of tossed-up earth. The man on my left lay still. I nibbed the mud from my face, and an awful sight met my gaze—his head was smashed to a pulp, and his steel helmet was full of brains and blood. A German "Minnie" (trench mortar) had exploded in the next traverse. Men were digging into the soft mass of mud in a frenzy of haste. Stretcher-bearera came up the trench on the double. After a few Minutes of digging, three still, muddy forms on stretchers were carried down the communication trench to the rear. Soon they would be resting "somewhere in France," with a little wooden cross over their head9. They had done their bit for king and country, had died without firing a shot, but their services were appreciated, nevertheless. Later on, I found out their names. They belonged to our draft I was dazed and motionless. Suddenly a shovel was pushed Into my hands, and a rough but kindly voice said: "Here, my lad, lend a hand clearing the trench, but keep your head down, and look out for snipers. One of the Fritz's is a daisy, and he'll get you If you're not careful." Lying on my belly on the bottom of the trench, I filled sandbags with the sticky mud, they were dragged to my rear by the other men, and the work of rebuilding the parapet was on. The harder I worked, the better I felt Although the weather was cold, I was 'soaked with sweat Occasionally a bullet would crack overhead, and a machine gun would Wck up the mud on the bashed-in parapet At each crack I would duck and shield my face with my arm. One of the older men noticed this action of mine, and whispered: "Don't duck at the crack of a bul? let, Yank; the danger has passed—you never hear the one that wings you. Always remember that If you are going to get i t you'll get i t so never worry." This made a great Impression on me at the time, and from then on, I adopt* ed his motto, "If you're going to get i t you'll get It" It helped me wonderfully. I used It so often afterwards that some of my mates dubbed me, "If you're going to get It you'll get It" After an hour's hard work, all my nervousness left me, and I was laughing and joking with the rest At one o'clock, dinner came up In the form of a dixie of hot stew. I looked for my canteen. It had fallen off the fire step, and was half buried in the mud. The man on my left noticed this, and told the corporal, dishing out the rations, to put my share in his mess tin. Then he whispered to me, "Always take care of your mess tin, mate,** I had learned another maxim of the trenches. That stew tasted fine. I was as hungry aa a bear. We had "seconds,* or another helping, because three of the men had "gone West,** killed by the explosion of the German trench mortar, and we ate their share, but stin I was hungry, so I filled In with bully beef and biscuits. Then I drained a y water bottle. Later on I learned another maxim of the front line, MOo •pmrlngly with year water.** The baity beef made me thirsty, and by tea time I was dying for a drink, but my pride would not allow me to ask my mates for water. I was fast learning the ethics of the trenches. That night I was put on guard with an older man. We stood on the fire step with our hands over the top, peering out into No Man's Land. It was nervous work for me, but the other fellow seemed to take it as part of the night's routine. Then something shof past my face. My heart stopped beating, and I ducked my head below the parapet. A soft chuckle from my mate brought me to my senses, and I feebly asked, "For heaven's sake, what was that?" He answered. "Only a rat taking a promenade along the sandbags." I felt very sheepish. About every twenty minutes the sentry in the next traverse would fire a star shell from his flare pistol. The "plop" would give me a start of fright. I never got used to this noise during my service In the trenches. I would watch the arc described by the star shell, and then stare into No Man's Land waiting for it to burst. In its lurid light the barbed wire and stakes would be silhouetted against its light like a latticed window. Then darkness. Once, out In front of our wire, I heard a noise and saw dark forms moving. My rifle was lying across the sandbagged parapet. I reached for it, and was taking aim to fire, when my mate grasped my arm, and whispered, "Don't fire." He challenged in a low voice. The reply came back Instantly from the dark forms: "Shut your bllnkin' mouth, you bloomln' Idiot; do you want us to click It from the Bodies?" Later we learned that the word, "No challenging or firing, wiring party out In front," had been given to the sentry on our right but he had failed to pass It down the trench. An officer had overheard our challenge and the reply, and Immediately put the offending sentry under arrest The sentry clicked twenty-one days on the wheel, that is, he received twenty-one days' field punishment No. 1, or "crucifixion," as Tommy terms it. This consists of being spread-eagled on the wheel of a limber two hours a day for twenty-one days, regardless of the weather. During this period, your rations consist of bully beef, biscuits and water. A few months later I met this sentry and he confided to me that since being "crucified," he had never failed to pass >the word down the trench when so ordered. In view of the offense, the above punishment was very light In that falling to pass the word down a trench may mean the loss of many lives, and the spoiling of some Important enterprise in No Man's Land. CHAPTER VI. "Back of the Line." Our tour in the front-line trench lasted four days, and then we were relieved by the brigade. Going down the communication trench we were in a merry mood, although we were cold and w e t and every bone in our bodies ached. It makes a lot of difference whether yon are "going In" or "going out" At the end of the communication trench, limbers were waiting on the road for ns. I thought we were going to ride back to rest billets, but soon found out that the only time an Infantryman rides is when he Is wounded and is bound for the base or Blighty. These limbers carried our reserve ammunition and rations. Oar march to rest billets was thoroughly enjoyed by me. It seemed as i f I were on furlough, and was leaving healed everything that was illeaties able and horrible. Every recruit feels this way after being relieved Cross tine V»e iiiurcned eialrt alius and then halted iu trout of a French estatuinet. The captain gave the order to turn out on each side of the road aud wait his return. Pretty soon he came back and told B company to occupy billets 117, 118 and 119. Billet 117 wus an old stable which had previously been occupied by cows. About four feet in trout of the entrance was a huge manure pHe, and the odor from it was anything but pleasant. Using my flashlight I stumbled through the door. Just before entering I observed a white sign reading: "Sitting 50, lying 20," but, at the time, its significance did not strike me. Next morning I asked the sergeant major what it meant. He nonchalantly answered : "That's some of the work of the R. A. M. C. (Koyal Army Medical corps). It simply means that in case of an attack, this billet will accommodate fifty wounded who are able to sit up and take notice, or twenty stretcher cases." It was not long after this that I was one of the "20 lying." I soon hit the hay and was fast asleep, even my friends the "cooties" failed to disturb me. The next morning at about six o'clock I was awakened by the lance corporal of our section, informing me that I had been detailed as mess orderly, and to report to the cook and give him a hand. I helped him make the fire, carry water from an old well, and fry the bacon. Lids of dixies are used to cook the bacon in. After breakfast was cooked, I carried a dixie of hot tea and the lid full of bacon to our section, and told the corporal that breakfast was ready. He looked at me in contempt, and then shouted. "Breakfast up, come and get it 1" I immediately got wise to the trench parlance, and never again informed that "Breakfast was served." It didn't take long for the Tommies to answer this call. Half dressed, they lined up with their canteens and I dished out the tea. Each Tommy carried in his hand a thick slice of bread which had been issued with the rations the night before. Then I had the pleasure of seeing them dig into the bacon with their dirty fingers. The allowance was one slice per man. The late ones received very small slices. As each Tommy got his share he Immediately disappeared into the billet. Pretty soon about fifteen of them made a rush to the cookhouse, each carrying a huge slice of bread. These slices they dipped Into the bacon grease which was stewing over the fire. The last man invariably lost out. I was the last man. After breakfast our section carried their equipment into a field adjoining the billet and got busy removing the trench mud therefrom, because at 8:45 a. m., they had to fall in for Inspection Resting Back of the Lines. and parade, and woe betide the man who was unshaven, or had mud on his uniform. Cleanliness is next to godliness In the British army, and Old Pepper must have been personally acquainted with S t Peter. Our drill consisted of close-order formation, which lasted until noon. During this time we had two ten-mlnute breaks for rest, and no sooner the word, "Fall out for ten minutes," was given than each Tommy got out a fag and lighted It Fags are Issued every Sunday morning, and you generally get between twenty and forty. The brand generally issued Is the "Woodbine." Sometimes we are lucky and get "Goldflakes," "Players" or •'Red Hussars." Occasionally an issue of "Life Rays" comes along. Then the older Tommies immediately get busy on the recruits and trade these for "Woodbines" or "Goldflakes." A recruit only has to be stuck once in this manner, and then he ceases to be a recruit. There is a reason. Tommy is a great cigarette smoker. He smokes under all conditions, except when unconscious or when he Is reeonnottering in No Man's Land at night Then, for obvious reasons, he does not care to have a lighted cigarette in his month. Stretcher bearers carry fags for wounded Tommies. When a stretcher bearer arrives alongside of a Tommy who has been hit the following conversation usually takes place: Stretcher bearer—"Want a tag? Where are you hit?" Tommy looks up uud answers, "Yes. In the leg." After dismissal from pa rude, we returned to our billets and 1 had to get busy Immediately with the dinner issue. Dinner consisted of stew made from fresh beef, a couple of spuds, bully beef, Maconochle rations uud water— plenty of waier. There is greut competition among the men to spear with their forks the two lonely potutoea. Back on the front line, after a stay in rest billets, Empey gets a shock when a German bullet cuts down hia first friend of the trenches. He tells the story In the next installment. (.TO B E C O N T I N U E D . ) MOST PERILOUS OF TRADES Ship's Rigger, When at Work, Has Realization That Each Moment May Be His Last. It is not the trapeze performer, the steeple-jack, or the old-time sailor who faces the greatest peril in his work, but the ship's rigger, who combines all three of these callings. During the present war, with the reappearance of sailing vessels in our porta, the ancient profession of ship's rig-ger had been suddenly revived. The seaports have been scoured to discover old riggers, for their service today 1B invaluable. The skill and daring of American ship's riggers was once as famous as that of the Yankee skippers, says Boys' Life, the boy scouts' magazine. When a sailing vessel comes Into port in need of repairs the ship's rigger Is the first man aloft. It may be impossible to tell if her rigging will support a man's weight. The ropea may be covered with ice. The rigger must Judge the strength of the ropes with his eye and risk his life upon them. A trapeze performer in the circus must trust his weight to ropea high in air, but he is sure that they are strong and will bear his weight. The ship's rigger must swing himself in quite as perilous positions and remain there for hours, doing the hardest kind of work. The sailing of the ship usually waits upon the repairs he makes, and the expense of maintaining the crew and delaying the ship makes it necessary for him to work with feverish haste day and night. | Thousands Find Relief IN THB REDIABLB OLD SAFEGUARD DO D D/S Kidney Pills IN all parts of the rountry, every day, s u f f e r e r s frorri kidney troubles are laying: Goodbye, backache: goodbye, peine; Dodd'a iqdaey Pills h*ve settled you for food."

Arrest at the Instance of an army officer of a young woman who had committed bigamy in order to secure the allowance granted to soldiers* dependents gives color to the warning issued against this new type of "vampire," notes the Omaha Bee. Young soldiers are picked out by these women and deliberately led Into marriage, the one purpose being to secure money from the government. The game is not a new one, nor does it exhibit much modification in its details. It 1« reported from some of the Southern army camps that as many as three and four soldiers have been wedded to the same woman. The young men who are away from home for the first time, wearing their country's uniform, should be warned that marriage Is hot merely an enlistment for the war, and therefore to be approached very seriously.

One of the most attractive booklets issued recently is the year book put out by Swift & Com puny, covering tho activities of the big packing concern during the year 1917. Serving us aa Introduction Is tho address of the vice president, K. F. Swift, to the stockholders, in which he tells of the abnormally high prices paid for live stock in Chicago and of the prices obtained for meat; of the Investigation by the federal trade commission, and the licensing by tho government of food distributing agencies and the limiting of profits on slaughtering and meat packing to 9 per cent on money employed. Mr. Swift also told with pride of the 2,800 employees who had entered the various branches of the United States service, and concluded with the statement that Swift & Company would do their utmost to help win the war. An interesting and Illuminative section of the booklet is that devoted to statistics of live stock prices and production, and another Is given up to telling "the packer's service to producer and consumer." Figures are given showing that the net profit of the company per head, 1912 to 1916, averaged $1.22 for cattle, less than 13 cents for sheep and less than 58 cents for hogs. It is explained that the large aggregate profits are due to the immense volume of business done. The booklet Is handsomely Illustrated with photographs and color prints and the cover illustration, mad© from a photograph of a corn farm In Ohio, is especially attractive.

Good Demand for Straw The removal from farms and ranges to Army camps of nearly a third of a million horses and mules has increased the market demand for straw for bedding several hundred tons per week. The prices at Army camps and large markets have naturaly influenced the price of this commodity on local markets, and the Btraw that was forrrerly burned or allowed to be trampled down by stock will now bring enough on the market to leave a good margin of profit All barberry bushes except the species and variety known as Japanese barbary are hereby declared to be, and the same are, a public nuissnee and a menace to the public welfare, and their maintenance, propagation, sals, or introduction in the state is forbidden.

Massachusetts legislature ratified the federal prohibition amendment making 11 states in line. Many legislatures do not convene till 1919 but much is hoped from them. Both houses of the Mississippi legislature have passed a so-called "bone dry" measure which repeals that part of the present law providing for a limited amout of liquor per month for those desiring it. Governer Emmet D. Boyle of Nevada 18 reported to have telegraphed thecounty commissioners of Elko county to deny applicatiofijfor renewal of licenses for saloons a t Wendover and Deep Creek, soon to expire. This action was taken on request of Governor Simon Bamberger of Utah, who charges that the holders of licenses at these pofn's ahip liquor into Utah by automobile and railroad in violatiou of the prohibition law of that state. At least 1000 Chicago saloonsare expected to goout of business May 1 the date for. saloon license renewals, accord ing to a report from the office of the city collector. Last fall more than 500 saloons quit business. Many other liquor dealers announced at that time that they would continue only until!

Others admit that the dry wave will eventually sweep Chicago" I Slipping. The market price of straw is now between $8 and $20 per ton, and there is a good demand for almost any kind of straw.

CASTORM For Infant* and Children* Mothers Know That Genuine Castoria Always Bears the Signature of (kmstipafianandDianW NEWTfQgg (By BOOTH T A R K I N G T O N . ) When we Intrust our savings to a bank, we like to know that It's a sound bank. We feel sufe then to leave our money in charge of that bank and Its officers. They will use It in various ways which seem good to them, but we will get It ail back, if the bank is sound. Yet no bank in the United States of America can be as sound as the United States itself. Therefore, when the United States government turns banker, the safest place for our money to be put Is in the hands of this government. Anybody can see that, without bothering to look twice. Uncle Sam himself will take care of our money, and w e l l get It back. We know that. His word is so good that w#> can get the money back whenever we need it, because his bonds will sell, any time, for just about what we pay for them. A few years hence, ot course, they will sell for more than we pay for them. During the time that we leave our money with Uncle Sam—what we call the Liberty Loan—he pays ns interest. Well, I've had a higher per cent than he pays—not for a loan, because I had to pay taxes that reduced the per cent to 3¼—but on investments. Once I made an investment that paid 19 per cent, but it only paid it once, and then the fellow who talked me into it left town without telling anybody good-by. I've found, since then, that I can't get much better than Uncle Sam's rate in the long rim. When 1 think I can, usually the factory has to have new boilers, after my first dividend comes in, or the ore "isn't quite the quality we had reason to expect," and I begin the long squirm to get out with something reasonably near what I put In. N o ; nowadays I think the government rate Is abont all I'm going to get from any investment which I place with regard to the investment's margin of safety. Therefore I get all I can of Uncle Sam's Liberty bonds because they are today, of all the possible Investments in the whole world, absolutely the safest. Nobody except Uncle Sam will or can give us his rate and the same absolute certainty that we'll get our interest paid promptly and thQ principal when it is due. That's the selfish side of i t ; we can't do better with the money for our selfish selves, The other side of it is that Uncle Sam uses the money for our own boys In France and our boys on the seas—our boys whose hard and terrible daily work Is done so gayly; and death always with them—dropping from the air above them, ready to strike up at them from the ground, or from the water beneath them. They bear this for us, that our ideal of freedom may not be lost forever and that we shall not become the Prussian's servant. A good interest rate and safety for the money, and safety for our ideals, and for our liberty—that's what we get when we Invest In the Liberty loan! WORDS AND DEEDS For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA (By WALT MASON.) I may use language till I make Demosthenes look like a fake. I may rear up some nine feet high, and tell how I would bleed and die, if I were not no old and gray and crippled up and full of hay. I may denounce the foreign foe and tell how gladly I would go to wield a shotgun in the scrap and shoo t h e kaiser off the m a p ; but If I think more of my wad than of my country and my God, the things I say won't cut much g r a s s ; my words are merely sounding brass. Our Uncle Sam li needing m e n ; he's needing rhino by the t o n ; he can't conduct a high-class scrap without a lot of dough on tap. To raise the dust he asks all lads to lend him all their surplus scads, to buy his bonds—security - the safest ever m a n will see. And if I do not gambol up, as gay and frisky as a pup, and buy the bonds till I go broke, my loyal spiels a r e merely smoke. Oh, boys, most any tin-horn s k a t e can work his jawbones and o r a t e ; most any hick can chew the rag and say nice things about the flag; but when we come right down to tacks, t h e patriot who's smooth as wax is he who comes, an ardent soul, for Liberty bonds to blow his roll.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Apr "^ -> Ul «> No. 17 •V-r INCLUDES PINCKNEY Proposed Pike Sa<Jinaw to Toledo Preliminaries Under Way 'zscr AGAIN IN DISGRACE Deputy Otto Rohn Arrested T a k e n t o H o w e l l P l e a d s G u i l t y A campaign to establish a direct Saginaw- Toledo highway by the shortest possible mileage was launched last night at a well-attended meeting at the I. 0. 0. F. hall in Lennon, on the line between Genesee and Shiawassee counties. Four counties were represented at the meeting, wnich was under ths auspices of the Michigan State Good Roads association. Peter B. Lennon acted as chairman of the meeting, and among the speakers were William S. Linton and Field Secretary W. H. Bryant of the association, Rolla W. Roberts of the state highway department, State Senator Harvey A. Penney, vice-president of the East Michigan Pikes association, and C. C. Speer of Maple Grove township. The project of improving the roads through these counties were strongly favored and a com; ittee was appointed to complete the sif latures for the con* struction of the L ghway under the -Covert road law, sot th to the Argentine read, so-called, near the Livingston county line. The committee consists of Peter P. Lennon, A. J. Anthony, .-George Evans, Walter Morrison, William Lohring, Cameron C. Speer, and Willis Baker. The Saginaw-Toledo highway would mean the continuation south of the "Top of Michigan" highway now worked out in its entirety, for 200 miles from Saginaw to Mackinaw and would -fee of great commercial and recreation value to this city. Many fine villages and cities are on or contiguous to the line. Among these are Fosters, Burt, Montrose, New Lothrop, Flushing, Lennon, Durand, Gaines, Byron, Cohoctaa, *Oak Grove, Howell, Brighton, Chilson, Pinckney, Hamburg, Whitmore Lake, Dexter, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Saline, if ilan, Azalia, Dundee, Ida, Petersburg, Temperance, and Toledo. The latter £ity is the gateway into Michigan from the states lying south and east that send each season thousands into the resort regions of the lower peninsula. This pike will save automobilists 35 miles over the present routes via Detroit, which means that 75 per cent of them would use it in getting to their destinations in the north country. It would mean a great annual influx of travelers and tourists. Saginaw is ideally located on this tnain thoroughfare, extending for 333 miles from Lake Eire's southern corner JLo the Straits of Mackinaw. The pike extends straight south from Saginaw for 40 miles, out Sheridan avenue, the longest stretch of any trunk road, f ol- Ibwing section lines. The large saving in distance between the Saginaw valley and Toledo appeals to the government and state officials who have the problem of transporting over improved roads tol the Ohio gateway much of the materia now being manufactured here and in surrounding cities. Saginaw Courier-Herald. Otto Rohn, Deputy Game Warden of the State of Michigan, has again paid the penalty'for^viola»ing the Jaws of the State which, he has sworn to obey". He and his assistant, Christopher Cobb, have been convicted of a misdemeanor and fined, according to our informant, $13 each. ^J^Z **,.-''JZ££m It was not the blustering, officious, Otto who appeared before J ustice Roche at Howell, April 23 to face *a~7charge | Wants, For Sale Etc. j WANTED in town.

'T ~~M This is the man, it will be remembered, who was convicted of an offense in Washtenaw County last winter and was fined for a violation of the state law in that county.

The owners of the property which he so wantonly destroyed are industrious farmers and the shortage of crops in this vicinity the past few years places them in a position where they cannot afford to lose any of their trees when fuel and lumber is so scarce and expensive. Why should a young farmer, whose labor helps toward the support of his widowed mother, be compelled to psy more for taking a fish or two from the waters which he w t taxes on than the pampered Otto has to pay when he is convicted of the destruction of property of far greater value than a pound or more of fish? It is also regretted by these same taxpayers and citizens that the Governor does not take some action toward removing this notorious state official from the office of Deputy State game warden and fill the vacancy with a lawabiding citizen to whose name is not attached the stigma of unenviable notoriety which the present incumbent has allowed to become a fixture to the name of Otto Rohn.

Clemens—The high school will abandon all athletics for the remainder of the season, and 17 of the boys have volunteered for service in the boy's working reserve for duty on the farms of t h e county. Lansing—Michigan will send 2,593 men to Columbus barracks during the five day period beginning May 10. Of this number, 981 will go from Detroit; 91 from Wayne county outside of the city, and 43 from Highland Park.

Joseph Timothy and Frank Hayes are officers of the former, and William Osborn Is president and George E. Ymer general manager of the latter. Detroit—The first Detroiter, belonging to an American unit, to be returned because of wounds from "over there" is Corp. Jack G. Ulmer. He was injured on the line of duty November 14, 1917, while massing ammunition. After an explosion of a German shell he was taken to a hospital with 20 fractured bones. Millington—While the family of George Phelps entertained friends with a musical program, the room was suddenly darkened by a cloud of smoke, the house being aflre. The party barely escaped, the roof having fallen in. Mr. Phelps was painfully burned and Otis Depottey was struck on the head by a falling brick. Lansing—An appeal to the food administration and the governor for help on the milk problem was made by a delegation of dairymen and farmers from Portland, Ionia county. Fifteen thousand pounds of milk daily is being wasted in that vicinity, according to the protestants, because the government has reduced its purchase of condensed milk. Lansing—The following Michigan people have secured federal appointments In Washington: Helen C. Smith, Port Huron, lama Hawley, Lansing, appointed clerks in the war Insurance office. Florence M. Byrle, Detroit, appointed clerk in the navy department; Marguerite Solomon, Grand Rapids, appointed clerk in the shipping board.

The property of the Verein has been turned over to President Hutchlns, of the university, to do with as he sees fit. Both students and faculty members belong to the organization. Saginaw—The name of the Germania school ha8 been changed to "Lincoln". The motion was supported by School Inspector O. F. Opperman, former president of the Germania society which established the school 40 years ago and later turned it over to the city. The budget for the year provides for an increase of 10 per cent in the salaries of the teachers. Camp Custer—Law and order is evidently more prevalent in the 85th division than in any other army organisation. A report shows that the division has had fewer general courtmartials than any cantonment, army post or point where troops are being assembled in the United States. This is in spite of the fact that during March and April more general courts were held than in all the previous months the division has been organised. Flint—About 1,000 men of draft age, who were not carrying classification cards when approached by officers, were brought before the m'litary board at a slacker round-up here. A large number of them were released later when their draft cards were produced. Youths were taken from their beds, from theatres and churches as well as from factories upon their failure to produce classification cards. A company of' state troops came, here from Detroit to assist in the round-up.

Port Huron—County Food Administrator Summers has ordered Frank Lown, a farmer living near Memphis, to sell several hundred bushels of wheat which it is alleged Lown has been hoarding. East Lansing—Prof. L. R. Taft, state inspector of orchards, has ordered the killing throughout Michigan of all I high barberry bushes. This shrub is I annually instrumental in causing con- 1 siderable damage to the grain crop. Camp Custer—K. of C. secretaries have been informed that their organization in Camp Custer is to train workers for overseas service. Two men already have been selected to go to France immediately, and six more are to be sent here to train. Port Huron—A flat and apartment house corporation has been formed here with a capitalization of $20,000 to provide housing accommodations for several hundred persons who will come to this city to be employed in new industries now being completed. Camp Custer—The fourth officers training school will be started at Camp Custer, May 15. Two per cent of the candidates will be selected from the 85th division. The remainder will be taken from the Central division and credited colleges, as named for the first camp. Detroit—Among the nonogenarians who are knitting for the American j forces none probably occupies a high- I er place in the esteem of the women j whose duty it is to pass on the pro- | ficiency of the workers than Mrs. Geo. C. Mahon, who is 91 years old in body and but 21 in heart. Ann Arbor—Prof, Herbert Sadler, head of the main engineering department of the University of Michigan, has been appointed assistant manager of steel ship construction for the Emergency Fleet corporation. The government ordered him to report at Washington May 1 and to remain there for the duration of the war. Albion—In a speech here, Horatio Earle, of Detroit, said that the highways of Michigan offered the only relief for Michigan railroads. The short hauls must be taken of the railroads and placed on the highways. If this is not done the people will face freezing every winter as the roads are unable to handle the traffic. Flint—A citlsens* committee is Investigating the local coal situation as a result of the refusal of local dealers to fill orders at government prices. The dealers claim they cannot do busines sat the prices s e t .Meantime consumers are Urged to bay at once and are forbidden to form pools to buy direct fro mthe mines or outside dealers. .__ Camp Custer—Books are beginning to pour into the Custer library as the result of the recent drive. At present the library has 6,000 volumes catalogued and on the shelf, whereas its quota calls for 10,000. As soon as the limit is reached additional reading matter will either be diverted to points of embarkation or given the men from the 85th division Just before they leave for overseas. Lansing—The amount of the cost price of a loaf of bread, between the wheat producer and the bread consumer, is strikingly shown in a recent compilation by the food administration, covering the period from 1913 to the present time. In 1913 but 26 per cent of the cost went to the farmer, as compared with 45 per cent at present. In 1912, 68 per cent of the price of bread was added after the flour left the mill door, as compared with 49 per cent now. Detroit—Jean Kerr, detective for a downtown store, arrested Mrs. Lena Sansone on a larceny charge and then secured the woman's release, pending arraignment in police court.

Two Michigan men are known to have been on the vessels. The Florence H.r a Detroit-built take steamer commandeered for war service before being completed last year at the yards of the Great Lakes shipbuilding company, was wrecked by an internal explosion while lying in a French port. Forty of her crew are believed to have perished. Among her crew is listed Martin T. Collins, Benton Harbor, reserve engineer. It is not known whether he is among the men saved. The Lake Moor, a United States Shipping board vessel, fell victim of a submarine on her maiden trip. Forty- five of her crew are missing and are thought to have perished in open boats. Robert Webster Meaham, Blissfield, Mich., is among the missing. WOMEN ALIENS MUST REGISTER Female Subjects of Germany and Austria to Be Listed. Washington — German and Austrian women in the United States were placed under the same restrictions as have prevailed for enemy aliens, by proclamation Issued April 20, by President Wilson, under the recently enacted law Including women in the definition of enemy aliens. These restrictions are applicable only to women above 14 who have not been naturalized by their own or their male relatives' declarations of citizenship. The operation of the regulations prohibiting enemy aliens from entering prohibited areas without permit will not apply to German women until a date to be fixed by the attorney general Crowder, are exclusive of between ment made by the attorney general's office, is so that arrangements may be made by women to apply for permits and a careful investigation may be made before issuance of permits.

Detroit—Michigan, together with several other states, has been asked by Secretary of the Treasury William Q. McAdoo to oversubscribe its Liberty Loan quota 50 per cent. A 50 per cent over-subscription for the entire state will mean that the original quota of 184,500,000 will become $126,750,000. It will mean that Detroit's original quota of $36,846,908 becomes $55,270,362, an increase of half the original quota, or $18,423,454.

Naturally none of us would now prefer to have our meat raw, our potatoes as they come from the ground, our coffee unroasted. And naturally follows the great discovery recently made by The American Tobacco Co.—that tobacco tastes better TOASTED! This wonderful new idea—simple like all great inventions—was first used in producing the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette—made of toasted Barley tobacco. Burleyhas a mellow flavor, entirely different from the tobacco usually used for cigarettes. It is a pipe tobacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes taste like a pipe. Adv. Where Conservation Falls. The great manufacturing plants of today waste nothing. In the lumber mills even the sawdust is burned and the scraps become fiber for furniture and rugs and process silk for neckwear and hosiery.

With a look of disdain he exclaimed : "Blow me, your shirt I Why in didn't you use mud?" Without a word in reply I got busy with the mud, and Boon my dixie was bright and shining.

I rinsed out my dlxte and returned it to the cookhouse, and went back to'the billet with an exhilarated feeling that my day's labor was done. I had fallen asleep on the straw when once again the cook appeared in the door of the billet with: "Bllme me, you Yanks are lazy. Who in a-goin' to draw the water for the mornin' tea? Do you think I'm a-goln' to? Well, Tm not," and he left I filled the dixie with water from an old squeaking well, and once again lay down in the straw. CHAPTER VII. Rations. Just dosing off; Mr. Lance Corporal butted in. In Tommy's eyes a lance corpora 1 Is one degree below a private. In the corporal's eyes he is one degree above a general. He ordered me to go with him and help him draw the next day's rations, also told me to take my waterproof. Every evening, from each platoon or machine-gun section, a lance corporal and private go to the quartermaster sergeant at the company stores and titled to rations, so there is no chance of putting anything over on him. Many arguments ta£e place between the "quarter" aad the platoon noncom, but the former ajsrtlys wins out. Tommy says the "quarter" got his Job because he was a burglar in civil life. Then I spread the waterproof sheet on the ground, while the quartermaster's batman dumped the rations on ft The corporal was smoking a fag. I carried the rations back to the billet The corporal was still smoking a fag. How I envied him. But when the issue commenced my envy died, and I realized that the first requisite of a noncommissioned officer on active service is diplomacy. There were 19 men in our section, and they soon formed a semicircle around us after the corporal had called out, "Rations up." The quartermaster sergeant had given a slip to the corporal on which was written a list of the rations. Sitting on the floor, using a wooden box as a table, the issue commenced. On the left of the corporal the rations were piled. They consisted of the following : Six loaves of fresh bread, each loaf of a different size, perhaps one out of the six being as flat as a pancake, the result of an army service corps man placing a box of bully beef on it during transportation. Three tins of jam, one apple and the other two plum. Seventeen Bermuda onions, all different sises, A piece of cheese in the shape of a wedge. Two one-pound tins of butter. A handful of raisins. A tin of biscuits, or as Tommy calls them "jaw treakers," A bottle of mustard pickles. The "bully beef," spuds, condensed milk, fresh meat* bacon and "Maconochie rations" (a can filled with meat vegetables and greasy water), had been turned over to the company cook to make a stew for next day's dinner. He also received the tea, sugar, salt, pepper and flour. Scratching his head, the corporal studied the slip Issued to him by the quarter. Then In a slow, mystified voice he read out "No. 1 section, 19 men. Bread, loaves, six." He looked puzzled and soliloquized in a musing voice: "Six loaves, nineteen men. Let's see, that's three ID a loaf for fifteen m e n - well, to draw rations for the following day. make it even, four of you'll .

"Well, doo% blama me, I didn't bake it; somebody's got to get it, so shut up until I dish out these bHnkfn' rations." Then "the corporal started on the jam. "Jam, three tine—-apple one. plum two. Nineteen w n , three tins. Six in a tin makes twelve men for two tins, seven In the remaining tin." He passed around the jam, and there was another riot Some didn't like apple, while others who received plum were partial to apple. After a while differences were adjusted and the issue went on. "Bermuda onions, seventeen." The corporal avoided a row by saying that he did not want an onion, and I said they make your breath smell, so I guessed I would do without one too. The corporal looked his gratitude. "Cheese, pounds, two." The corporal borrowed a jackknife (corporals are always borrowing), and sliced the cheese—each slicing fringing forth a pert remark from £t*e onlookers as to the corporal's eyesight. "Raisins, ounces, eight." By this time the corporal's nerves had gone west, and in despair he said that the raisins were to be turned over to the cook for "duff" (plum pudding). This decision elicited a little "grousing," but quiet was finally restored. "Biscuits, tins, one." With his borrowed jackknife, the corporal opened the tin of biscuits, and told everyone to help themselves—nobody responded to this invitation. Tommy is 4tfed up" with biscuits, "Butter, tins, two." "Nine in one, ten in the other." Another rumpus. "Pickles, mustard, bottles, one." Nineteen names were put hi a steel helmet, the last one out winning the pickles. On the next issue there were only 18 names, as the winner Is eliminated until every man in the section has won a bottle. The raffle is closely watched, because Tommy is suspicious when it comes to gambling with his rations. When the issue is finished the corporal sits down and writes a letter home, asking them if they cannot get some M. P. (member of parliament) to have him transferred to the Royal Flying corps where he won't have to issue rations. At the different French estamlnets in the village and at the canteens Tommy buys fresh eggs, milk, bread and pastry. Occasionally when he Is flush, he invests in a tin of pears or apricots. His pay is only a shilling a day, 24 cents, or a cent an hour. Just imagine, a cent an hour for being under fire—not much chance" of getting rich out there. When he goes Into the fire trench (front line), Tommy's menu takes a tumble. He carries in his haversack what the government calls emergency or iron rations. They are not supposed to be opened until Tommy dies of starvation. They consist of one tin of bully beef, four biscuits, a little tin which contains tea, sugar and Oxo cubes (concentrated beef tablets). These are only to be used when the ^nemy establishes a curtain of shell fire on the communication trenches, thus preventing the "carrying in" of rations, or when in an attack a body of troops has been cut off from its base of supplies. The rations are brought up at night by the company transport This is a section of the company in charge of the quartermaster sergeant composed of men, mules and limbers (twowheeled wagons), which supplies Tommy's wants while In the front line. They are constantly under shell fire. The rations are unloaded at the entrance to the communication trenches and are "carried in" by men detailed for that purpose. The quartermaster sergeant never goes into the front-line trench. He doesn't have to, and I have never heard of one volunteering to do so. The company sergeant major sorts the rations and sends them in. Tommy's trench rations consist of all the bully beef he can e a t biscuits, cheese, tinned batter (eomettmea 17 men to a tin), jam or marmalade, and occasionally freak bread (tea to a leaf). When it la peaatble he gets tea 1 and stew. When things are oolet, and Frf ta la behaving like a gentlemen, which eel- ( dom happens, Tommy has the opportunity of making dessert. This Is "trench pudding.'' It 1» made from broken biscuits, condensed milk, Jam— a Httle water added, slightly flavored with mud—put Into a cttuteeu and cooked over a little spirit stove known as "Tommy's cooker." (A firm in Blignty widely advertises these cookers us a necewsity for the men In the trenches. Gullible people buy them—ship them to the Tommlea, who, Immediately upon receipt pf same throw them over the parapet Sometimes a Tommy falls for the ad, and uses the cooker In a dugout to the disgust and discomfort of the other occupants.)

In addition to the regular ration issue Tommy uses another channel to enlarge his mepu. In the. English papers a "Lonely Soldier" column is- run. ThU is for the soldiers at the front who, are supposed to be without friends or relatives. They write to the papers and their names are published. Girts and women in England answer them, and send out parcels of foodstuffs, cigarettes, candy, etc, I have known a "lonely" soldier to receive as many as five parcels and eleven letters in one week.

NOT THEIR FIRST MEETING British Officer and Privates, Homo From the Front, Had Same Memories of "Tight Corner." Two privates in "Blighty" blue were limping their way along Regent street, London. Each had his badges of honi> r—two and three eloquent gold stripes. They were la London town again—in It, but somehow not of it. Only the accident of war made them Regent street saunterers. From the opposite direction- there approached a young officer with a lady companion. He, too, hud the gold stripes of the twice wounded. Eager and bright, he seemed absorbed in his companion, apparently not noticing the two privates. Indeed, he wua almost by them when In a flash he darted from the side of his companion, seized the hand of one of the privates in a hearty grip and ejaculated : "Great heavens! fancy meeting you here ! Bit different when we were together before, eh? What a tight corner ! And only we two left—and here we are again. And how are you, and how are you getting on?" Succeeded a string of other questions, culminating in "Getting better, eh? Feel as if you'll soon be ready to go out again? How do you feel about it? Will you be glad to go?" What the private said may be Inferred from the resumption of the officer's talk. "That's the right spirit Shouldn't wonder if we meet again in another hot corner. Well, good luck antf cheero!" A Change for the Invalid. If you have a friend lyiug ill, try taking some daintily prepared edibles next time you make a visit. Nourishing broths and soups, wine Jellies, delicately browned custards and light puddings made of eggs and milk are good. Or a small jar of marmalade or half a dozen lightly browned biscuit for the Invalid's tea. Or creamed chicken and creamed oysters delivered in a charming blue bowl and all ready to be heated up by the nurse. Grapefruit Is always appreciated and mandarin oranges and white grapes in a pretty basket are an appetizing combination, and there are some invalids who would be delighted with a jar of preserved ginger for occasional nibbling.

Glucose in fruit preserves may be discovered by the following method given by the Popular Science Monthly: In the case of Jelly a teaspoonful should be dissolved In two tablespoonfuls of alcohol contained In a glass vessel. In the case of jam or marmalade the same process 1« carried out, but it Is necessary to filter off the solid matter by running the mixture through a piece of rousllp. Allow the solution to become perfectly cool nnd then add an equal volume, or a little more, of strong alcohol. If glucose Is present a dense white precipitate slowly settles down. Where no glucose has been employed, there Is no precipitate, save.

Two years of prohibition in Denver have kept the city so decent that there is nothing for its grand jury to investigate, nothing for Judge John I. Mullins in the criminal court to try, and nothing for the criminal lawyers of the city to argue about says a recent item in the Denver Post. The Post continues: "This is the literal statement of facts Last week the county grand jury was called to the West Side court, presumably for business. But the business was not there. " 'What shall we take up first?' the foreman asked. " 'Search me,'" answered the district attorney. They agreed there was nothing to investigate, so the grand jury took a recess subject to the call of the foreman. The last three or four grand juries have returned no indictment. For, with the passing of Bacchus from Denver his twin sisters. Crime and Vice, went with him, say the judges of Denver's courts.

Highest price paid at An old friend and neighbor, whose opionions we highly valued bag criticised the Dispatch for "mixing in polities when it published an article regarding Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, commander of the Third Naral District, and whose name is being placed among the candidate* for United States senator from this state. The eriticiiro is unqiifstionabJy sincere antf comes from anrunsetfish desire for the best interests of this paper. If Mr. Newberry was of the ordinary type of politicians his name would not have appeared as a candidate in oar paper. But his public life has shown aim to be one of the class of men who we would like to see filling the various offices in our eoantry. Theodore Roosevelt, who was visiting the U. S. Government vessel Yosemite, noticed young Newberry, then a member of the crew, industrially swabbing the decks of the steamer, and entered in a conversation with him. This was the beginning of a friendship that lasts until to-day. To show bis appreciation of the high qualities enclosed within the tanned shin of a common sailor, President Roosevelt afterwards appointed Mr. Newberry to the position of Secretary of the Navy in his cabinet. The aggressive efficiency which won him this high position brought him national honor and has shown him to be of the class of men the country needs during this time of war, when inexperience and inefficiency are the greatest drawbacks the nation now has to contend with, and the policy of this paper will be to use what small influence it may attain in advocating all such candidates, no matter of what party or creed. After considering these ideas, our friendly critic admits the policy is good and endorsed it. W H Y S P R A Y ?

THE American people fought their first battles for liberty and the rights of selfgovernment one hundred and forty-two years ago. •J A t thai time, and for many years thereafter, their realization of their national aspirations and of the goal toward which they were really striving was vague and indistinct But step by step they struggled onward and upward toward a light which grew dearer as their eyes and minds slowly opened to its significance. Today, as a result of their struggles and their sacrifices, w e possess and enjoy our priceless American institutions. Q These institutions must b e preserved. T h e structure so laboriously reared in these one hundred and forty-two years will be utterly destroyed if w e d o not spring to its defense with every atom of our energy and determination.

Upon the Coast Artillery corps has been thrust the burden of handling the heavy ordnance with which the army la equipped, and which in the field will be manipulated by methods more or less resembling the methods already laid down for sea coast ordnance. These methods are far different from those used by the field artillery proper—that Is, the light three-inch rifles and 4.7-inch howitzers. The present-day heavy artillery officer must be a mathematical shark, a railroad engineer and an expert in handling gasoline motors besides having an Intimate knowledge of gunnery, says a writer in the New York Herald. His equipment has changed from the battery commander's ruler of the field artilleryman to a slide rule, a transit and a book of logarithms. In addition he must understand perfectly the manipulation of heavy masses—termed the art of mechanical maneuvers—for his guns will not be securely emplaced In concrete, but will be exposed to the mercies of the open road, with consequent overturnlugs 'find sudden sniffings. He must know how to use tackle of all sorts, and in general know all the tricks of the modern contractor. The officers who came down to Fort Monroe were nearly all graduates of the National Guard courses prescribed by the war department and were fully competent to handle seacoast ordnance In the forts to which they were assigned. They thought that their knowledge was ample, and It would have been for this work, perhaps, but after a day or so they found out that while this knowledge was essential to them as basic, It was only the beginning. Gunnery the Big Thing. The big thing, of course, was gunnery. This included a practical knowledge of ballistics—the science of the movement of bodies through the nlr. Ballistics Is a very exact science, and In these days of precision Is absolutely essential for the artilleryman. Reduced to language for the layman, it consists in the knowledge of just how far a given piece of ordnance will hurl Its projectile under «11 conditions. Very simple, say you. Yes, under standard conditions. Every gun when It is turned out from the maker is known to fire a certain projectile to n certain range at a certain elevation. These data are compiled in tables and a r e theoretically the same for all guns of the same caliber and model. These tables are known as range tables, and the "conditions given for the firing of projectiles for these theoretical ranges are known as range table conditions. Remember this. Now some of the principal range table conditions or assumptions are that the earth is flat and does not revolve; that the atmospheric conditions are standard ; thnt there Is no wind; that the gun and target are on the same level, and that the action of, gravity is constant throughout the trajectory. All well and good. We know that our go*, then, will fire its projectile, let us *ay 10,000 yard*, under range table conditions. In other words, given the above conditions, it will, if prooperly laid In direction hit a target 10400 yards away. Set unfortunately for os the earth Is not.flat our target 1» 10,000 yards away, and 200 feet * . • . above the level of the gun there Is a ten-mile wind blowing straight across the line gun target, the thermometer Is up to So and the barometer has dropped to 29. Will the projectile hit the target now? Not unless you correct the elevation of the gun for some of these conditions and Its laying for the others. How are you going to do it? First, you must find the force with which your projectile cleaves the air. This Is called the ballistic coefficient, and Is reduced by a simple formula to a figure. Knowing the weight of the projectile, its form and its diameter the ballistic co-efficient is easily calculated. The Air as a Check. You have now taken the first step. You have the force of projectile to penetrate the atmosphere under standard conditions. But this force varies with the atmosphere. On a .heavy, muggy day the atmosphere is dense, and you will be surprised the checking effect It will have on your projectile. By menus of elaborate tables one can find just what this effect is, and we apply it to the original formula. Also in the atmospheric factor Is Included the temperature, for in hot weather our powder charge when ignited exerts more strength in decomposing into gases than it does on a cold day. . So far BO good. What about this troublesome wind that is blowing? If It blows against the projectile it checks It; if with It, it helps It along. So we have two varying factors, which the balllstlclan juggles by utilizing trigonometry until he gets them in terms where he can once more change his ballistic co-efficient, making It larger or smaller as the wind Impedes or accelerates the projectile. Not quite so easy as you thought, is It? But we are not through yet. We know that under range table conditions our propelling charge has a force that gives the projectile an initial velocity of so many foot seconds, say 2,250. But our powder has been stored in a dugout whose temperature is not normal, so by more figuring we find out just what this real velocity for the day is. Now we can begin to figure what elevation the gun must have to travel that 10,000- yard path to the target. By dividing our old friend C, as the ballistic co-efficient is termed, by the distance in feet that the projectile must travel, we get'a reference number. This number we take with us and bury our noses In more tables until we find opposite this number in a column headed by the muzzle velocity another number. This number, multiplied by C again, gives us the sine -of twice the angle of departure. A quick glance into a table of logarithmic sines gives this to us, and dividing by two we have a figure in degrees and minutes that represents the angle which the gun must be elevated from the horizontal to send its projectile 10,000 yards today. Wait a minute. Our target is 200 feet above the level of the gun. Also because of the curvature of the earth this 200 feet height has been reduced somewhat. So once more we delve into mathematics to correct the curvature ef the earth and height of site of the target. The result we subtract from the angle found, and this time our gun is ready for ] business. Is It? No; It is not so easy. The Influence of the Rifling. Every rifled piece of ordnance imparts a twist to ljts projectile, and this twist causes the projectile to deviate from its course. In our service this deviation, called drift, is to the right and is In ratio with the range. It is constant, therefore, for each range, and we find It very eaaHy, either by mathematie computation or from drift tables. Also we go back to our wind problem and find what effect the wted will have in pushing the projectile from its course, either to the eight or left These two corrections are brought together and determine the amount in degrees and minutes that the muzzle of the gun must be shifted from the target to the right or left in order that the projectile will curve toward its goal. At last we have our gun controlled so that It will hit the target. Tarry just a moment. A gun„ the text books tell us, Is the simplest form of gas engine. Did you ever know two gas engines of the same model that acted alike? Neither will two guns of the same model. The Fifty Per Cent Zone. If you have an automobile you know that the piston rings wear out, allowing gases to escape, and thus reducing the force with which the piston is forced down. Also the cylinder becomes scored^with the same result. Now, if you fire your gun many times the same thing happens. The projectile is the piston and the retaining band of copper the piston ring that seals the bore. If the bore is eroded or if the rotating bands are not perfect a certain escape of gases occurs and the flight of the projectile is consequently affected. Again, there may be a difference in the weight of powder charges or In the weight of the projectiles, which will give slight variations in the flight of the projectiles. So that the battery commander must know the dispersion of each piece. This he finds out from observation of his shots, and it changes as the gun prows older. By figuring the deviation of a certain group of projectiles from the target, and which are known as trial shots or fire for adjustment, he finds out what is known as the mean error of the gun. This, multiplied by the factor .845, well known to students of probabilities, gives the mean probable error. Multiplying by two, the result in yards Is what Is known as the 50 per cent zone, within which 50 per cent of his projectiles will fall. This computation is done longitudinally and latitudinally, giving a certain oblong strip. If the center of this strip can be placed on the target by observation of fire the battery commander has done all that he can, and may now open fire for effect. Four times the 50 per cent zone gives the 100 per cent zone, within which practically all his shots will faH. Knowledge of these zones is all important. By this means he can figure out how near he can come to our own first line trenches without murdering our infantry, and, what Is almost as important, when It Is necessary to save ammunition he can easfly compute how many shots will be necessary to make a certain number of hits on a given target. And what about camouflage? The enemy airplanes are on the alert and all gun positions must be disguised. The battery commander must be a master of camouflage, able to erect fihelters and under their cover to build his emplacements, while by the exercise of discipline he restrains his men from making tracks about the positions which will give away to the allseeing eye of the camera in the air the fact that guns are mounted there. So that is why the student officers at Fort Monroe blistered thein hands and strained their backs erecting camouflages and digging dugouts and bombproof s; that Is why they dove and crawled under motortrucks and delved Into differentials and gear cases, emerging dirty and grimy, hot happy: that Is why they tolled for hours at night, working out lengthy problems in trigonometry until angles danced before their eyes when they tried to sleep and endless chains of logarithms curved themselves tfcroagh tbetr brain cella.

London — Reinforced by French troops, the Allied line is holding hard against further incursions by the Germans from the region of La Bassee to the north of Ypres, according to April 19 reports. Everywhere the Germans have struck the line in an endeavor to press back the defenders, they have been repulsed with heavy losses and have been successful nowhere in gainlng further ground. Attacks of an extraordinary violent nature were thrown by the Germans on the 10-mile front between Givenchy and Robecq, where an endeavor was made to cross the La Basse canal and bend southward the salient which outflanks the important railroad town of Bethnne. If successful, the new attack of the Germans would jeopardize the entire Arras sector, which includes the famous French coaling region about Lens and the equally famous Vlmy ridge, where the Canadians are holding forth.

Hemet, Cal.—This town and San Jacinto, which Ilea north of here about two miles, both seriously damaged by a severe earthquake shock Sunday afternoon, April 21. Every business house in Memet and in San Jacinto was laid flat, but only two lives were lost. The property damage here is estimated at $260,000 by merchants and property owners who suffered the most loss. At San Jacinto damage was estimated- at a like sum. The 'quake, which came with such warning as was afforded by a brief light shock lasting perhaps 10 seconds, was the most severe ever experienced here. For 30 seconds the buildings rocked and swayed and the ground heaved so that persons standing in the streets and fleeing from their homes were thrown from their feet. One Killed At Los Angeles. Los Angeles—A general earthquake shock, felt throughout southern California Sunday afternoon, cost one life at a nearby resort, caused the serious injury of one woman in a mad rush from a downtown theatre, broke large plate glass windows, shook down cornicea and cut off communication with at least two small towns. At San Bernardino the quake was said by old residents to be the worst of years. Scores of plate glass windows were broken, a hundred feet of brick wall from one low building fell into the Btreet, and cracks were broken in several other walls. There was a panic at the ball grounds, where a game was in progress, and one man was hurt in the rush to escape, Another, running out of a theatre into the street, was struck by an automobile and seriously injured. Riverside suffered a shock of similar intensity. Ornaments were shaken from the courthouse cornice and windowa smashed. At Banning, the front of the Odd Fellows building fell out, striking two automobiles which had just been vacated by their passengers. The tremor was first reported from Barstow at 3:30 p. m., and apparently moved east and south from that point. BIG NAVAL BILL PASSES HOUSE Framed to Develop Biggest Submarine Destroyer Fleet In World. Washington—Framed to develop the largest submarine destroyer force in the world, the big naval appropriation bill, carrying approximately $1,500,- OOC.300, was unanimously passed by the house on April 20, and immediately sent to the senate. Just what the destroyer program will be is not revealed by specific appropriations, but part of it is carried in a $125,000,000 fund to be expended under the direction of the president. A large share of the fund will be expended on Henry Ford's "eagles," destroyer- chaser plant, in Detroit. It Is one of the largest naval appropriation bills in the nation's history and was passed in the record time of nine hours. By special provision, all the appropriations are made immediately available BO that none of the navy work will be delayed. It includes $887,500 for the purchase of additional land to enlarge the Great Lakes Naval training station near Chicago. It also provides $10,- 295,000 for the construction of naval hospitals in *Jbe United States and abroad. One million is proposed for oversea* hospitals.

Hessian Fly, Cinch Bug and Army Worm Ready For Offensive Ravages of Cinch Bug shown. Plant at left not attacked; plant at right attacked. ROBERT H. MOULTON. HAT the United States is already invaded, not by Germans, it is true, but by their effective allies, and that a great host of these are intrenched In the grain fields is an assertion hard to believe at first, but It is nevertheless strictly true, for the cinch bug Is pro-German ID our present war, the Hessian fly is still HeBslan, and the army worm Is an ally of the German army. Our duty of helping to feed our fighting friends being paramount, that of protecting and defending the food supplies we produce Is as essential as their production. As a matter of fact, Incurring the expense of producing crops and then letting them fall a prey to our insect enemies is "worse than not producing them at all, and the official entomologists of the different states are being mobilized for special service In crop protection. These men are but a handful, however—not enough for an efficient patrol—and so they are calling upon the people for such assistance as they can easily give by keeping watch for the common enemy and reporting the first traces of his appearance In numbers sufficient to threaten serious Injury. What these field insects are capable of In the way of crop destruction Is fairly well known, and what the farmer may do for the protection of his crops can best be intrusted to the hands of various state entomologists, whose business it Is by bomb, gas and other means to kill these allies of the foe. Consider two fields of corn, both lying next to heavily infested fields of wheat One Is protected by a circle of oil about Its borders. The other Is unprotected. The unprotected corn is entered by the Insects without hindrance as the ripening of the wheat deprives them of food, and a large part of the corn Is destroyed, as shown by the part of the field laid bare next to the wheat. In the other field not a hill of corn is hurt.

Finally, a good as the "broom sedges," which grow abundantly in uncultivated places throughout the greater portion of the main wheat belt of the United States. It is the usual habit of the cinch bug first to attack fields of wheat, rye, or barley, and Its presence often is unnoticed because the injuries inflicted upon these crops are obscure or of no apparent importance. About harvest time the bugs leave the small grains and crawl over the surface of the ground to the nearest fields of corn, where they begin at once to wreak severe Injury. Corn fields may be protected and the migrating bugs trapped about the time of wheat harvest by plowing a deep furrow along the edge of the field, running the land side of the plow toward the field to be protected. In dry weather the side of the furrow can be made so smooth and the sides so steep that the bugs will find It easier to crawl along the bottom than to climb up the sides. Circular holes from 30 to 40 feet apart, made with a post-hole digger, then may be dug In the bottom of the trench. Into these holes the bugs will fall In large numbers, and here they may be killed easily by sprinkling kerosene oil over them. In wet weather a line of liquid tar or crude petroleum, which the bugs will not cross, may be maintained In the furrow bottom. Hessian Fly Is Old Foe. Another notorious insect whose function it Is. in the order of nature, to take bread out of our mouths Is the Hessian fly, so called because Hessian soldiers, hired from their sovereign by King George III, were believed to have brought it over from Europe during It and the Infested wheat catches the the revolutionary war.

The Hessian fly is a minute mosof some $10,000 to the state.

The total sum of this reduction in numbers of the Uw9 stock of the four sample counties, due soteijr<to the presence of the cinch tog, was $1,058,318.

The adult or foil-grown bug at Mack sod about one-etffcth of an the stem. Usually two, but sometimes three or more, generations of the insect occur during a year. After the Hessian fly has once thorrotatlon of crops should be practiced wherever possible, and the co-operation of the entire community secured in following these preventive measures. Daily Action Is Necessary. The army worm, known as a pest of the fanner from early colonial times. and the locusts or grasshoppers often multiply under favorable conditions to numbers sufficient to devour great areas of both grain and forage crops. Both may be killed easily If attacked in time by sowing broadcast among them a poisoned food which they prefer to the grain and grass plants on which they naturally feed. But this method requires, as a rule, early notice of the impending calamity, prompt organization of the communities concerned for self-defense and general arrangements for the quick supply of all tho necessary materials in wholesale quantities—all measures for which careful preparation must be made In advance. In case the worms are not discovered until they have begun to travel in a mass, usually they can be destroyed by furrowing or ditching completely around the infested area. The worms will fall into the ditches and can be killed easily by crushing them with a log—hitched to a horse or mule—dragged back and forth through the ditch or furrow. Another method Is to dig shallow postholes In the bottom of the ditch at Intervals of about 20 feet, into which the worms, crawling along the ditch bottoms, will fall. They can then be destroyed by crushing or other means. lighting the Cutworm. The cutworm injury, which usually consists in the cutting off the plants at or a little below the surface of the ground, almost invariably occurs in the spring, beginning as soon as the first plants sprout and continuing until late June or early July, by which time the worms are full grown. The worms feed at night and rest during the day beneath debris or in the soil from onehalf to one Inch below the surface, and since In most cases they resemble the soil closely in color the cause of the injury often is not apparent Poisoned baits are effective when cutworms are found to be abundant on corn land, but proper rotation of crops Is the best preventive measure. Pasturing hogs upon land supposed * to harbor cutworms is a beneficial practice, as these animals root up and devour insects of many kinds, Including cutworms, in, large numbers. Farm poultry, allowed to follow the plow, is oughly infested the crop of wheat there ! also of great value.

United States, according to careful of the wheat The remedies for the Hessian fly are, therefore, entirely preventive. One is to plow down the wheat stubble Immediately after harvest in order to destroy* the maggots which remain in It This is for the protection of future crops. Another is to pay great attention to the preparation of the seedbed for the wheat by plowing early and working and packing the soli thoroughly in order to eliminate tumps and clods, thus producing a finely pulverised, compact, and moisture-conserving bed for the seed. Care should computations and estimates made by the experts of the national department of agricu'ture. It is a prize worth lighting for, especially In these times of threatened scarcity of food. But individual guerrilla fighting to which this Interest has been left in the past will no longer suffice—has never sufficed, in fact Carefully planned campaigns by organised communities, participated in by everyone so situated as to be available, directed by experts and financed so far as necessary by the state, are the only means to sue" Ithaca, Mich.—With bullet wounds through the heads of William Kimball and his wife, the heads of their eldest and two younger children being crushed in, apparently with the butt of a gun, the bodies of the victims were found Sunday afternoon in the Kimball home, on the farm of Herman Wittig, in Lafayette township, 13 miles north of Ithaca. The children were Clarence, aged seven, Charles, aged five and Louise, aged two. Sheriff Newell M. Bradford, Ithaca, declared that Wittig, who was arrested late in the day, confessed he slew Kimball, his wife and the oldest son, but did not recall killing the younger children. Sheriff Bradford says the only motive given by Wittig for the crime was that he resented an epithet applied to him by Kimball, following a quarrel over charges made by Kimball for repairs on Wittig's automobile. The Kimball family had been keeping house for Wittig, who is a bachelor, and working his farm. ROOSEVELT IN DETROIT MAY 30 Colonel Reported to Be Back In His Old Fighting Form. New York—Carrying a plea for patriotism, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will start on a tour of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Ohio late in May. He will be in Detroit Memorial day.

The tour will start with a meeting at Wittenburg college, Springfield, the center of a German-American community in Ohio, May 25. Only men of German birth or parentage will occupy seats on the platform. The tour will end in the Detroit meeting. CZAR'S SON NEW RUSS RULER? Rumors Report Czarevitch Heads New Revolting Faction.

Look how our commanding officers deal with the French hotels that overcharge our soldiers ! They post sentries at the door to explain to our men that the place is 'out of bounds.' That soon brings the hoael to reason." "We're a resourceful nation. An American girl in Taris once halted her millionaire father before a Jeweler's shop in the Rue de la Paix and pointed to a tiara surmounted by a coronet, " 'Pa, buy me that!' she asid. '•'Buy you that?' her father chuckled. 'Why, girlie, you've got to be a duchess to wear that.' "The girl tosed her head. "You buy it," she said, "I'll find the duke."

Doctors, nurses, and commanding officers all join In the demand which "has awakened in this country a great movement to keep our boys supplied with smokes. Millions of the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes are "going over" all the time. There's something about the idea of the footee* cigarette that appeals to the men who spend their time in cold, wet trenches and billets. Then, too, the real Kentucky Burley tobacco of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette gives them the solid satisfaction of a pipe, with a lot less trouble. Adv. "K. P." as a Military Term. Sweeney was a new recruit. He wan also a Knight of Columbus. His second day at Fort Thomas was spent In hours of tiresome drill. Toward evening the top sergeant called out: "All K. P.'s step forward." Twelve men advanced and, when the others were dismissed, followed the officer toward the mess halls. Sweeney was tired and hungry and his blood boiled at the thought of the favoritism about to be shown to the dozen of Knights of Pythias. He followed the men, cursing under his breath, and on reaching the hall was relieved to hear the gruff "top" exclaim: "Now, you kitchen police, get busy !"—Argonaut.

NOWHSTE IN A PttCKOGE OP PosntMtsriES J$aus49bdVfe; Corn Food Good fcTbe Last Flake From Department of Entomology, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—Not what poisons to use, but how much to use—this is what bothers the housewife and gardener when of a spring or summer morning tiiey awaken to find their vegetable plot overrun with voracious insect Invaders. In such emergencies instructions for controlling the unwelcome visitors are usually sought for in the spray solutions with which the experiment stations of the states and the department of agriculture of the United States have so thoughtfully supplied the producing public—but unfortunately these instructions are as a ruie helpful only to the big grower who c&n use spray poisons in quantities of a barrel or more.

The poisons the gardener finds commonest use for are kerosene emulsion, nicotine, pyrethrum, arsenate of lead and poison bran mash. In small quantities, enough for Instance for a few rows of potatoes or a small patch of garden vegetables, these may be made up as follows: Kerosene Emulsion. Kerosene (coal oil) 2 eupfuls. Laundry soap, 1 cubic inch. Soft water, 1 cupful. Dilute to required strength. Shave one cubic inch of laundry soap Into a cupful of boiling soft water, and when dissolved pour into It two eupfuls of kerosene oil. Mix thoroughly with an egg-beater until It has creamy appearance. This is the stock solution and must be diluted before using. As a dormant or winter spray against scale, Insects, it should be diluted at the rate of one part of the stock solution to three or four of water. For plant-lice or lice on domestlcnted animals It should be diluted at the rate of one part of the stock solution to 10 to 15 parts of water, or mix one cupful of the emulsion in three quarts of water. This Is effective against scale Insects, plant-Uce and anlmal-llce. Nicotine. Nicotine sulphate (40 per cent) 1 teaspoonful. Soap, 1 cubic Inch. Water, S quarts. Into a quart of warm water share a cubic inch of laundry soap. When dissolved pour on two more quarts of water and add a teaspoonful of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate. Stir well and It is ready for use. This will control plant-lice, white-fly, pear psylla, etc. Pyrethrum. Pyrethrum, 2 teaspoonfuls. Water, 1 quart. Pyrethrum Is generally used In the powdered form and dusted on plants either clear or mixed with lime or sulphur. It can also be nsed as a spray by pnttlng two tablespoonfuls of the pyrethrum Into a qnart of water and stirring well. The powder will not dissolve but will remain In suspension. It kills Insects but Is harmless to man. Pyrethrum should be purchased from airtight packages for If fresh material is not nsed good results cannot be expected. This can be used against cabbage- worms, etc. Arsenate of Lead. Arsenate of lead (powdered), 8 tablespoonfuls, or arsenate of lead paste, 1 tablespoonful. Water, 1 gallon. Place the arsenate of lead In a cup and add a little water, stirring it until it makes a thin paste. Pour this Into a dish and add entongn water to make a gallon. It is then ready for use and should be kept agitated or the lead will settle. If arsenate of lead paste is used it will require twice as much, by weight, as the powdered form. The powdered arsenate of lead la much lighter than the pu.ste of the »ume bulk so that apparently more of the powder is being used.' For potato beetles use The poison twice as strong, as they are more resistant than most of the chewing Inserts. Potato beetles, codling luoth, caterpillars on plants, flea-beetles and oilier chewing Insects can be controlled with this poison. Poison Bran-Mash. Bran, 1 quart. Paris green ur white arsenic, 1 tea spoonful. Molasses, 3 tablespoonfuls. Orange, V*. (chopped fine). Water, to make a good mash. Mix the bran and the poison well together. Put the molasses In a cup of water and after stirring add to the bran mixture. Grind up a quarter of an orange or halt" a lemon and mix all together. Add enough more water to make a good stiff mash. To get the best results from tills mixture It should be put out in the evening so that it will be fresh by morning. Cure should be taken not to allow poultry to run where this Is being used. This will kill cutworms, army worms, grassbopers, etc. In the following the above directions one should for the most part, use old dishes. When not in use, these dishes should be kept in a place by themselves to avoid the danger of their being used for. cooking purposes. WRIGLEYS Six reasons Iaf sg ood friend: WAGE FIGHT ON BARBERRY High Variety of Shrub Must Go—Assists Spread of Stem Rust of Wheat. By DR. G. H. COON9, Plant Pathologist, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—A fight is in progress in Michigan against the-highbush barberry—every bush of which has been ordered pulled up and destroyed by the state inspector of nurseries. This official has also gone a step further and established a quarantine by which the importation of this shrub into the state has become a misdemeanor. Why this harsh treatment for what most of us have up to this time considered a harmless garden shrub? The facts are that while it may have become an unwilling partner to the crime, the high-bush barberry nevertheless aids and abets the spread of black stem rust of wheat. As a costly disease of wheat this affliction of the grain crop is always unwelcome, but as it happens it is more than commonly undesirable this spring because of its fondness for spring wheat, of which Michigan farmers have put In much more than their usual acreage. In fact stem rust has had almost as much to do with making spring wheat generally unprofitable in Michigan as has the weather itself. Wherefore, war has been declared against the high-bush barberry, for without the common barberry to spread the rust in the spring, this disease would cease to be a serious factor In Michigan agriculture. The common barberry and Its purple- leafed varieties are tall, rather scraggly bushes. Landscape gardeners state that the bushes are not highly esteemed, though they were very popular at one time. They are now found spread all over the state In yards and parks. The bush does not grow wild in Michigan. From each of these bushes in the spring the spores of the rust blow to the common grasses in countless numbers, and for long distances. In about a week the grasses rust and furnish an Innumerable supply of spores. The wind catches these up and greater and greater Infection of grains and grasses results. Over and over this story Is repeated until no grain field Is free from attack. It is In this way that a barberry bush, miles away, can be a menace tv. our food crop. Fortunately the Japanese barberry which is highly prized for decorative purposes. Is completely Immune, and is not concerned at all with the wheat rust. It is extremely important that everyone recognize the harmlessneas of this low and beautiful shrub in order that it may not suffer for the Inr lquities of its relative.

If we failv to develop this democratic purpose In the eye-to-eye, knee-to-knee, hand-to-hand .struggle on t h e front, t h r u our c o n i - zation will do down.

CITES SOLDIERS' PATRIOTISM. MaJ. Gen. Getty Points t o Boys Who Subscribe for Liberty Bonds. By BRIG. GEN. ROBERT N. GETTY, [Commandant a t Camp Dodge, Iowa.] W h a t does the real soldier of today think of the Liberty loan? J u s t a s h e thinks of every other measure adopted by h i s government to p u t a spoke in the wheels of t h e machine t h a t will carry him to victory. His enthusiasm can be explnined best by depicting the manner In which he offered his pay dowr. t o t h o last few p e r n l e s to h i s government when the last Liberty loan wtvf) launched. Many of t h e soldiers allotted so much of their pay that the war department found, it necessary to authorize the discontinuance of some of these allotments that t h e soldier might have a. small amount left for his personal use. Our American soldier 1? the personification of patriotism, l i e is a living example of what his brothers bark home would do well to imitate if their loudly proclaimed desires to help t h e cause for humanity's sake a r e sincere, lie is giving up his family, h i s home inuuvsts, often'mr his life, a n d Is now more than willing that his monthly pay should revert to the coffers of his country if it will materially assist in winnine the war. He lc giving his all, and willingly. He only asks for a chance to tigbt and that his brothers who cannot bear a r m s will stand back of him. I am proud of these men a n d t h e fervor and spirit they display. It will be a great honor when that day arrives to lead them into battle, knowing they who have given everything will fight to t h e last man. It is to be regretted that many a soldier before induction Into the service burdened himself with heavy financial obligations t h a t his dependents might be provided for during his absence. I only wish t h a t t h e small, abject faction of the civilian element t h a t 1« bringing p r e s s u r e t o bear upon the already overburdened soldier and hit family because of these same obligations could but become imbued with tome of the spirit of aelf-sacriflcc and patriotism erinced by the men os the firing Una, *SeeV^ ^Nriroaxfc £o. :w«»n»:::i«:::«:»»»:««^'i««:««:« &GGS POULTRY Y & A L Will take e ^ s 6 davs each week.

WEARY PEOPLE WANT PEACE DRUGGISTS AID UNCLE SAM Pro-German Nobles Banded Together to Depose Monarch—Berlin Gives Charles Cold Shoulder. Amsterdam—Humiliated abroad and tirtualiy friendless at home, Emperor Charles of Austria is today in a position closely resembling that of ex-Czar Nicholas of Russia in the last phase of his reign. Moreover, internal conditions in the dual monarchy bear a striking similarity to the great sub-surface murmur which finally broke out in open revolt at Petrograd a year ago last March. In a roundabout way it has become known that Germany has made certain "declarations" which have gravely offended certain circles in Vienna. Due to these "declarations," Premier Seydler again has tendered his resignation. The inference is that Berlin has demanded iron clad guarantees from Vienna against the recurrence of the Charles-Prince Slxtus affair. Just as the Russian grand dukes . formed a camarilla against the czar, when they saw his throne was toppling, so the Austrian archdukes have just banded together and flung the threat of overthrow into the face of the discredited emperor-king. Charles, turning to Berlin, is met by the icy stare of the kaiser, who has not yet said his last word regarding the Hapsburg ruler's peace bid to France, and the German militarists are aching for a chance to "punish the faithless ally" to save whom they time and-again S^Jiad to disarrange their fondest plans. ;.'•• At home a multi-racial, war-weary * people is demanding peace, bread and .¾ electoral freedom.

Chicago—The United States shipping board has now established its recruiting service for the merchant marine in eight states bordering on th^ Great Lakes, with 3,000 recruiting agencies. These are all druggists who have volunteered for this patriotic service through their national trade organizations which had pledged its members to work for the merchant marine. Each will serve the United States shipping board at $1 a year, and will open a recruiting station at his store, where American citizens, be. tween twenty-one and thirty, may apply for training on a squadron of training ships maintained by the shipping board, for the drilling of crews for the new national cargo fleets. Recruiting stations for the merchant marine are now established in 6,395 cities and towns, representing every state in the Union. BRITISH GUN LOSSES HEAVY Thousands of Field Pieces Captured or Destroyed in Big Battle. London—The British have lost nearly 1,000 guns, between 4,000 ana 5,000 machine guns and the total manufacture of ammunition of between one and three weeks, since the present battle in France began, Winston Spencer Churchill, minister of muni, tions, told the house of commons. All these losses have been made good. The munition ministry, said Mr. Churchill, placed at the disposal of air and ground services more than twice the number of guns lost or destroyed in the battle in France. There were now, he added, actually more serviceable guns as a whole and more of virtually every caliber than there were when the battle be •gan.

TEUTON PEOPLE PERTURBED OVER FAILURE OF BIG DRIVE French and British Armies, Fighting W i t h Backs to W a l l , Hold Off Advance of Hindenbui Outcome Still in Doubt. London—The entire Allied line in France and Flanders still stands firmly. Nowhere have the Germans been able to make a further dent in it. Hard fighting has been in progress on the Ypres sector around Voormezeele and to the south of Locre. Both places have changed hands several times, but according to reports of April 28, Voormezeele had been recaptured by the British and the Germans had obtained another foothold in Locre. Voormezeele was taken by the Germans Saturday, but the British in a night attack won it back, and since have held it, inflicting heavy casualties on the Germans in renewed efforts to take the place. The Germans have tried at several points along the front held by the French to pierce the line, but everywhere have been repulsed, notably in St. Mihiel and Luneville sectors, where recently American troops were stationed. Foe Pauses In Offensive. As a whole there is no material change in the situation along the entire front over that of last week, and it is evident the Germans are not prepared for the present to resume the offensive which has cost them so dearly in men killed, wounded or made prisoners. Reports coming to London are to the effect that in Germany there is much perturbation over the inability to pierce the Allied lines and depression over the losses suffered. Kemmel Hill Recaptured. London—By one of those "back to the wall" stands for which they have been famous in this war, the Franco- British forces saved the situation last Saturday in the Ypres sector from turning into an immediate big success for the Germans after the loss by the allied forces of the dominating peak of Kemmel. Had the enemy been able immediately to develop his success in the Kemmel sector, as he attempted to do, the result probably would have been disastrous to the allied troops in the Ypres salient. The military situation in Flanders as a whole does not seem to be a particularly happy one from the allied viewpoint. The scheme of the entente high command, however, it is pointed out, does not appear to be particularly regardful for the map, except where vital positions are threatened and confidence is expressed in the ability of the allies under their unified leadership to keep the situation well within their grasp on the northern as well as the southern battlefronts. French Counter Attack Successful. Paris—Counter attacks against the German lines from Villers-Bretonneux to south of the Luce were launched by our troops, who succeeded, despite the fierce resistance of the enemy, who had brought up important forces, in retaking a large part of the ground which had been lost In that region, says the official statement issued by the war office April 26. Both Sides Use Tanks. London—Tanks went Into action on both sides for the first time in history in the battle about Villers-Bretonneux, the German tanks appeared at the beginning of the engagement and by noon the British tanks joined in the fray. The latter did heavy execution when they go among the enemy Infantry. Marines Lose 274 Men. Washington—Marines fighting in France have had a total of 274 casualties, marine corps headquarters announced on April 25. The casualties were divided as follows: Officers wounded, 4; enlisted men killed, 34, and enlisted men wounded, *S6. ^ One company lost 31 men killed and 140 wounded out of a total strength, of 260 men.

After a short experience as^a recruiting officer In London, he Is sent to training quarters In France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empey's company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. CHAPTER V I I I . The Little Wooden Cross. After remaining In rest billets for eight days, we received the unwelcome tidings that the next morning we would "go in" to "take over." At six In the morning our march started and, after a long march down the dusty road, we again arrived at reserve billets. I was No. 1 In the leading set of fours. The man on my left was named "Pete Walling," a cheery sort of fellow. H e laughed and joked all the way on the march, buoying up my drooping spirits. I could not figure out anything nttractlve In again occupying the front line, but Pete did not seem to mind, said it was all in a lifetime. My left heel was blistered from the rubbing of my heavy marching boot Pete noticed that I was limping and offered to carry my rtfle, but by this time I had learned the ethics of the march tn the British army and courteously refused . his offer. We had gotten half-way through the communication trench, Pete In my Immediate rear. He had his hand on ray ahoulder, as men In a communication trench have to do to keep In touch with each other, We had just climbed over a bashed-ln part of the trench when in our rear a man tripped over a loose signal wire, and let out an oath. As usual, Pete rushed to his help. T o reach the fallen man he had to cross this basbed-ln p a r t A bullet cracked in the air and I ducked. Then a moan from the rear. My heart stood still. I went back and Pete was lying on the ground. By the aid of my flashlight I saw that he had his hand pressed to his right breast. The fingers were covered with blood. I flashed- t h e light on his face and In its glow a grayishblue color was stealing over his countenance. Pete looked up at me and said: "Well, Yank, they've done me In. I can feel myself going W e s t " * His voice was getting fainter and I, had to kneel down to get his words. Then he gave me a message to write home to. his mother and his sweetheart, and I, like a great big boob, cried like a baby. I was losing my first friend of the trenches. Word was passed to the rear for a stretcher. He died before it arrived:. Two of us put the body on the stretcher and carried it to the nearest first-aid p o s t where t h e doctor took an official record of Pete's name, number, rank and regiment from his identity disk, this to be used in t h e casualty lists and notification t o his family. We left PfJte there, but it broke our hearts to do so. The doctor informed us that we could bury him t h e next morning. That afternoon five of the boys of dor section, myself included, went to the little rained village in the rear and from the deserted gardens of the French chateaux gathered grass and flowers. From these we made a . wreath. While t h e boys were making this wreath, I s a t under a shot-scarred apple tree and carved out t h e following verses on a Httle wooden shield which we nailed on Pete's cross. True to his God; true to Britain, Dot** his duty to the last. Just one more nan* to be written On the Boll of Honor of heroes M. C. sewed up the remains in a blanket. Then placing two heavy ropes across the stretcher (to be used in lowering the body into the grave), we lifted Pete onto the stretcher, and reverently covered him with a large union jack, the flag he had died for. The chaplain led the way, then came the officers of the section, followed by two of the men carrying a wreath. Immediately after came poor Pete on the flag-draped stretcher, carried by four soldiers. I was one of the four. Behind the stretcher, in column of fours, came the remainder of the section." To get to the cemetery, we had to pass through the little shell-destroyed village, where troops were hurrying to and fro. As the funeral procession passed these troops came to the "attention" and smartly saluted the dead. Poor Pete was receiving the only salute a private is entitled to "somewhere In France." Now and again a shell from the German lines would go whistling over the village to burst In our artillery lines tn the rear. When we reached the cemetery we halted ip front of an open grave, and laid the stretcher beside It. Forming Passed to their God. enshrined tn glory. entering life of eternal rest.

When the body was lowered Into the grave t h e flag having been removed, we clicked our heels together and came to the salute. I left before the grave was filled 1n. I could not bear to see the diit thrown on the blanket-covered face of my comrade. On the western front there are no coffins, and you are lucky to get a blanket to protect you from the wet and the worms. Several of the section stayed and decorated the grave with white stones. That tight. In the light of.a lonely candle in the machine gunner's dugout of t h e front-Une trench I wrote two letters. One to Pete's mother, t h e other to his sweetheart While doing this I cursed t h e Prussian war god with all my heart, and I think, that S t Peter noted same. The machine gunners in the dugout were laughing and Joking. To them Pete was unknown. Pretty soon, In the warmth of their merriment a y bines CHAPTER I X . Suicide Annex. I was In my first dugout unci looked around curiously. Over ihe door of same w a s a little sign reading "Suicide Annex." One of the boys told me that this particular front trench was culled "Suicide Ditch." Later on I learned that machine gunners and bombers are known as the "Suicide Club." That dugout was muddy. The men slept In mud, washed In mud, ate mud, and dreamed wud. I hud never before realized that so much discomfort and. misery could be contained in thos*> three little letters, M U D . The floor of the dugout was an Inch deep in water. Outside It was raining cats and dogs, a n d thin rivulets were trickling down t h e steps. From the uir shaft Immediately above me came a drip, drip, drip. Suicide Annex was a hole eight feet wide, ten feet long and six feet high. It was about twenty feet below t h e fire trench; at least there were twenty steps leading down to it. These steps were cut into the earth, but at that time were muddy and slippery. A man had to be very careful or else he would "shoot the chutes." The a i r was foul, and you could cut the smoke from Tommy's fags with a knife. It was cold. The walls and roof were supported with heavy squarecut timbers, while the entrance was strengthened with sandbags. Nails had been driven into these timbers. On each nail hung a miscellaneous assortment of equipment. The lighting arrangements were superb—one candle In a reflector made from an ammunition tin. My teeth were chattering from t h e cold, and the drip from the airshaft did not help matters much. While I was sitting bemoaning my fate and wishing for the fireside at home, the fellow next to me, who was writing a letter, looked up and innocently asked, "Say, Yank, how do you spell •conflagration'?" I looked at him in contempt and answered that I did not know\ From the darkness in one of the corners came a thin, piping voice singing one of the popular trench ditties entitled : "Pack up your Troubles in your Old Kit Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile." Every now and then the .singer would stop to cough, cough, cough, but It was a good illustration of Tommy's cheerfulness under such conditions. A machine-gun officer entered the dngout and gave me a hard look. I sneaked past him, sliding and slipping, and reached my section of the frontline trench, where I was greeted by the sergeant, who asked me, "Where in 'ave you been?" I made no answer, but sat on the muddy fire step, shivering with the cold and with the rain beating In ray face. About half an hour later I teamed up with another fellow and went on guard with ray head sticking over the top. At ten o'clock I was relieved and resumed my sitting position on the Are step. The rain suddenly stopped and we all breathed a sigh of relief. We prayed for the morning and the rum issue. "cooties" boring for oil In your armpits, the air foul from the stench of grimy human bodies and smoke from a juicy pipe being whiffed into your uostrlls, then you will not wonder why Tommy occasionally takes a turn in the trench lor a rest. While In a front-line trench orders forbid Tommy from removing Ills boots, puttees, clothing or •'quipment. The "cooties" take advantage of this order and mobilize their forces, and Tommy swears vengeance on them and mutters to himself, "Just wait until 1 hit rest billets and am able to get my own back." Just before daylight the men "turn to" and tumble out of the dugouts, man the Are step until it gets light, or the welcome order "stand down" is givta. Sometimes before "stand down" is ordered, the command "five rounds rap- Id" Is passed along the trench, 'this means that each man must rest his rifle on the- top and fire as ruptdly as possible five shots aimed toward the German trenches, and then duck (with the emphasis on the "duck"). There is a great rivalry between the opposing forces to get their rapid fire all off first, because the early bird, In this instance, catches the worm—sort of gets the jump on the other fellow, catching him unawares.

I w a s fast learning that there Is a regular routine about the work of the trenches, although it Is badly upset at times by the Germans. " The real work In the fire trench | commences at sundown. Tommy Is like a burglar, he works at night. J u s t as it begins to get dark the word "stand to" is passed from traverse t o traverse, and tlfe men get busy. The first relief, consisting of two men to a traverse, mount the fire step, one man looking over the top, while the other sits at his feet, ready to carry messages or to Inform the platoon officer of any report made by the sentfy a s t o his observations In No Man's Land. The sentry Is not allowed to relax his watch for a second. If he is questioned from the trench or asked his orders, he replies without turning around or taking his eyes from the ex* panse of dirt In front of him. The remainder of the occupants of his traverse either sit on the fire step, with bayonets fixed, ready for any emergency, or if lucky, «and a dugout happens to be In the near vicinity of the traverse, and If the night Is quiet, they are permitted to go to same and try and snatch a few winks of sleep. Little sleeping is done; generally the men sit around, smoking fags and seeing who can tell the biggest lie. Some ef them, perhaps with their feet In water, would write home sympathising with the "governor" because he was laid up with a cold, contracted by getting his feet wet on his way to work In Woolwich arsenal. If a man should manage to dose off, likely as not»he would stake with a start as the clammy, cold feet of a rat passed over his face; or the next relief stepped on his stomach while stumbling on their way to relieve the sentries la the trench.

I DOING AWAY WMH THE INDUSTRIAL SCRAP HEAP Railroads and Manufacturers Are! Learning to Eliminate Waste, In- | eluding Drainage of Man Power. I Confronted by the necessity of utilizing every possible traffic facility for war material, the railroads are going to the scrap heap for additional equipment. They are patching up discarded locomotives and engines 25 years old have been rebuilt and made "better than when they were new." No doubt the railroad scrap heap is the largest of all American scrap heaps and by that token the one from which most material can be salvaged. But the conditions of railroad waste and extravagance in the name of efficiency equally characterise all American industry, and the new railroad policy of reclamation is tnportant as an example and a precedent.

He may even think his claims are justified. You read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, are not over modest in that regard. If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. In your experience, that theory doesn't hold. Maxwell is different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense—they are statements of fact—proven facts. They are, in every case., matters of official record attested under oath. For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials. That still remains a world's record the world's record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car.

So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car would stop in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the seal. Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the 44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning— especially in the West where the real hills are. The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—was taken by a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. Then—three days later—a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a climb—wasn't it? So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors. Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis. Economy—also a matter of official record. Others may claim—Maxwell proves. Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners—thousands of them— driving their own Maxwells. Nor were they new MaxwTells—the contest was made by 1915, 16, and 17 models, many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service—three years' use. Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions—all kinds were encountered in the various sections of tne country. Good roads and bad—level country and mountainous regions—heat and cold— sunshine and rain—asphalt and mud. And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon! There's economy for you. And under actual5 average driving conditions—not laboratory test. But that isn't all. The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and reliability and economy all in the same run. In that 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour. Now you know that speed costs—and that economy tests are usually made at slow-speed—dosed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions. You know too that you can obtain economy of fuel by building and adjusting for that one condition. Speed you can get by building for speed. Any engineer can do that.

It Is being realized now that the United States has been taking giant strides and that In war, as in everything else she undertakes, she does business on a giant scale. (Prepared by tho United States Department of Agriculture.) Washington.--The supply of permanent farm labor—note the word permanent-- will not be assured in many sections of the country, nnd on some farms, at least, in every section of the country, unless more attractive living conditions are offered the families of hired hands on farms. War conditions cause a farm labor problem that can be solved only by emergency methods. Throughout the nation communities will solve their war problems of farm labor shortage by utilizing as temporary farm help town volunteers and high school boys— by diverting to agricultural activity man power that would not and could not be so used except in a real emergency. But the town men of farm experience who go to the fields this spring and summer and fall will be actuated London.—The stupendousness of the American war program has staggered the i>eop!e of Great Britain. Realization of the fact that Uncle Sam is in the war to fight it to a finish and that he has the men and money has given new energy and optimism to the people of England. While there was never any doubt in their mind that the allies could prevent a German victory, they are pulling together now with new vigor and determination, fully believing that with the powerful help of America they and their French, Belgian and Italian allies can give Germany a crushing blow either this year or next. German treatment of Russia has silenced the would-be pacifists. The element which has hoped for a termination of the war with a compromise pence has been transformed Into a' most mlttrant toxiy now that the naked hand of the German annexationists has been exposed. The cry everywhere in Great Britain Is for a continuation of the war until the acceptance of the allied terms has been assured. Whether the country is war weary or not Is a small matter now that German duplicity has again been revealed by the action in Russia. Has Stiffened All 'Allies. That the United States has stiffened up all the allies is most obvious. The newest of the anti-German nations has amazed the European world with Its industry in war preparation. There Is no longer talk that the United | States will be unable to do any actual righting this year. Uncle Sam's sol- ' diers have been in the fighting for sev- j eral weeks, and correspondents straight from the front give the most [ glowinp accounts of their proficiency ' as fighters. They learned quickly. They have been eager from the start to test their mettle with the Huns, and in every clash where the forces have been anything like equal the Yankees have \ completely routed the Germans. On several occasions young Americans from states west of the Mississippi river have been thrown up against the Prussian shock troops. The Prussians were sent after the "Yanks," as they j are called, to teach them fear of the German soldiery. The Yankees showed no more respect for the Prussians than they showed for the Mexicans on the border, and. it may be said, drove them to cover almost as readily.

There is no knowledge here as to how many Americans are in the battle line, but from the fact that reports of frequent skirmishes with them come from headquarters It Is estimated that there Is a considerable fighting force. The Germans have encountered them where they erpeeted to find them and where they did not expect to find them. The entrance of the United States marked the turning point in the war. German prisoners captured recently, according to reports here, give hints that the Germans realize that they hare reached their maximum and are now facing a steadily growing army appealed to Draft Inspector Murtin ('•onboy of New York to aid him to realize his ambition. Mr. Conboy gave him a letter of introduction to the commander of the Twenty-seventh Engineering corps stationed at Camp Meade.

The attitude of thousands of married men who are skilled farm workers, who have left the country to find town employment, but who will return to farm work permanently provided farm living conditions are comparable in ordinary comforts to those in town. Is expressed in this letter recently published in a Texas paper: "I am sending in my view of the farm labor problem. I have been trying to get a job on the farm the last month ; still trying to do so. I can find plenty of jobs for a single man . . . but the farmers so far as I have found have no tenant houses, or If they have one It would not make a good stable. Most of the farmers that I have found will not permit a farm hand to raise a garden or chickens or hogs or own a cow or horse, and the prevalent pay is insufficient to support a family under such conditions. I believe If the farmers would build comfortable houses and either pay better wages or give more privileges, it would be the city man calling for help Instead of the farmers." There are mnny evidences of an increasing desire on the part of men with families, now living In towns and cities but with experience as skilled farm workers, to go back to the country. They left the farm because they believed they could make more money, get more satisfaction out of life, give more pleasures and opportunities to their families in town. Many have been disappointed. They are willing to return to the farm at a smaller cash wage than they receive in town. If they have a fairly good house and are allowed to have a garden and raise a few pigs and perhaps have the use of a cow. Labor Problem Remains. What about it? You are a farmer snd you are looking for permanent farm help; not only emergency help to produce and harvest war crops, but a man or men to live on your farm and work the year round. Are your tenant houses the kind of places a man would like for his family to call home? Are they the kind you would like to live in? "Oh:" you say, "The other man Is looking for a job and I am not. I own the farm; be wants to work on the farm. Do you expect the hired hand to have as good a house as the owner? If he doesn't like this house be can leave It:** Well, the trouble Is that Is just what he will do—and you will continue to have a farm labor problem on your hands. Of course no one expects the hired hand to have as good a house as the farmer : But he does want a comfortable place for his family to live in, and failure to find that on the farms is one of the reasons for the steadily decreasing supply of permanent farm help in recent years. It may not please the farmer to fare the fact; nevertheless the truth is that the skilled farm hand Is in a position to be quite as Independent about the proposition as the farmer himself. When the farmer say5 "Take this house or leave i t " the really first-class man knows he can get a good job elsewhere— and he leaves ! So It may be profitable for some farmers—-not all, of course—to think that over, bearing In mind that letter of the Texas man to the effect that If the farmers will offer their permanent help good houses, fair wages and Atlanta.

BOMBS DO GOOD WORK Undersea Craft Unable to Dive Before Missiles Are Dropped—One Destroyed in Act of Attack on Merchantman. London.—Details concerning the destruction recently of ten German submarines by naval aircraft, eight by seaplanes and the others by dirigibles, have been obtained by the Associated Press from admiralty reports. The first case is described as follows: "While on patrol In the English channel a seaplane sighted a submarine eight miles away, directly in the path of an oncoming convoy of merchant ships. The seaplane dived at 90 miles an hour. The submarine attempted to escape by submerging, but was, Just awash as the seaplane reached a bombing position and released two bombs, one of which exploded on the conning tower. The seaplane dropped two more bombs Into the midst of the bubbles from the collapsed submarine, which was of the largest type, carrying two guns." The second case : "At dawn a seaplane sighted a large submarine on the surface, with a member of the crew standing by the gun. The seaplane dropped a bomb on the tail of the U-boat and afterward photographed the sinking submarine, with a big hole In Its deck. A second bomb was dropped close to the submarine's bow, and the U-boat collapsed." Catches U-Boat on Surface. The third case : "Two seaplanes attacked a large submarine traveling on the surface at 14 knots, with two men In the conning tower. A bomb was exploded close to the conning tower, and the submarine began to sink stern first. A bomb from a second seaplane completed the work." The fourth case: "Three patrol planes sighted a large submarine as it was submerging, and dropped two bombs close to the conning tower, causing the submarine to turn turtle nnd disappear In a mass of oil and wreckage." The fifth case: "A seaplane sighted two submarines close to the surface and dropped two bombs. One bomb was ineffective, but the other hit the deck fairly amidships. The submarine was hidden by the smoke of the explosion, and when the smoke cleared the U-boat was sinking, with both ends In the air." The sixth case: "A seaplane saw the track of a torpedo fired at a merchantman. It dived toward the surface and sighted the black shade of the submarine well below the surface. It dropped two bombs, which both ex- WOMEN GOOD POLICE Are ?.'•*: Efficient Service In Great Britain. ploded close to the submarine, resulting in a large quantity of oil, bubbles and wreckage." The seventh case: "Two seaplanes sighted a U-boat on the surface and dropped a bomb each. The first bomb caused a heavy list to the U-boat, which began to sink by the stern. The second bomb exploded in the center of the swirl, demolishing the Ubuat." Oil Patch Shows Fate. The eighth case: "A seaplane dropped a bomb on a submarine just emerging and the U-boat disappeared with a heavy list to port. The pilot dropped a second bomb Into the swirl and a few minutes later a patch of oil 150 feet long and 12 feet wide appeared on the surface." The ninth case: "A naval airship at midday sighted a suspicious patch of oil and circled It in an effort to ascertain the cause. Suddenly a periscope broke the surface in the midst of the oil. The airship dropped a bomb close to the periscope and a series of bubbles began appearing, indicating that the damaged submarine was moving slowly away under the water. Several more bombs were dropp** *a 4fcsw-perh Indicated, unfit satisfactory evidence was obtained of the enemy's destruction."

Food Sent Regularly Through International Red C r o u in Switzerland. Washington.—Kood is now being sent reguluriy to American prisoners In Germany by the American lied Cross through un arrangement with, the International Ked Cross in Switzerland. The American Red Cross otflce at Paris recently received a complete list of the 159 Americans then prisoners in Germany. The German government permits the Red Cross to send each man 20 pounds of food a week, In two paekuges of ten pounds each. This Red Cross service is being enlarged and a warehouse to hold food enough for 10,000 American prisoners already Is under construction near Berne, Switzerland. It Is estimated that at least 90 per cent of the food packages reach the men. Parents, wives and relatives of our soldiers and sailors will find in this particular Red Cross service the greatest satisfaction because they havedreaded German prison life for tbeir loved ones perhaps more than death itself. The American prisoners will be permitted to write two letters and four post cards each month, and also to acknowledge the receipt of food packages. The Red Cross food package follows the army ration pretty closely, and frequently fresh white bread is Included from the Red Cross bakery In Berne. This service is one more reason why the American people will respond generously to the next Red Cross war fund campaign. May 20-27, when another $100,000,000 to "carry on" wilk be asked.

London—The success of women on the police force is amply demonstrated In the annual report of Sir Leonard Dunning. H. M. inspector of constabulary, Just published. Seven counties and 24 cities and boroughs have women "on the strength," and "their introduction Into professional police work," says Sir Leonard, "may well help authorities to combat evils which have presented increasing difficulties to them for years past." While most of the women are engaged in clerical work, others a/e given duties requiring the complete confidence of a woman or child, which Waterproof pockets with water-tight fastenings for bathing attire have been Invented by two New York men. a woman can win better than a man; the maintenance of public decorum among girls, supervision over female servants' registries, duties under the shop hours acta, food control orders and the like, and supervision over places of amusement catering for children. It is not. Sir Leonard hopes, mggested that women should be employed In the suppression of 'public order and the arrest of dangerous or violent criminals. With regard to the desirability of intrusting to them that part of the investigation of sexual crime which involves Intimate conversation with the victim, the Inspector declares that the police themselves were the first to recognize this, but until some years ago failed to find a woman of education who recognised this as a woman's work. Sir Leonard pays tribute to the fine work being done by the women police employed by the ministry- of munitions, and refers also to the success of the efforts of the women patrols.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, MAY 9, 1918 No. 19 TUSCAN IA DISASTER Story Graphically Told by Lakeland Boy bieut. Chas. Wards Experience How American troops stood at attention on the slowly canting deck of of the sinking Tuscania for two hours and ten minutea one evening last winter and waited unflinchingly for rescue or death is told in a letter just received by Charles A. Ward, of Lakeland, from his son, Lieutenant Charles P. Ward, now on the French front, who wa^4n command of a company on board the transport. "You ask of the sinkingof the ship", *fce writes. "It was an experience that I do not car* to repeat. I can sit with closed eyes and live over again every incident of those two long hours and ten minutes, and yet, jppw that it is all ever, it seems like a hfieous nightmare. "I had been feeling bilious, so that evening, after shavi \g, I stepped into the docter's stateroe n, which was next to ours, to get some calomel and salts aa I wanted to feel fit to disembark the next day. For some hour* we had been able to see the shore line of Ireland on •ur right and the gray cliff a of the Scottiflh coast far to the left as the ship forced ahead into the narrowing channel. "Clad in my undershirt I waa seated •n a bunk visiting with the doctor when there came a thundering crash below •a and a violent vibration of the whole atruction of the ship. The light* went oat, the mirrors were crushed into fregsaents^- bettles, glasses, everything in the doctor's layout came ttuahlingdUioia, (The torpedo struck directly below our quarter*.) " 'God! they got ua,' " I exclaimed a* I landed on my feet "I felt my way to the corridor and into our own stateroom, where my •mnkieshad flashlights. Thinga were in ruins there, but I knew just where My garments were. Hastily I donned shirt, blouse and overcoat and bucketed on my gun. Then we scrambled up the companion way, through the smoking God, what a welcome sight that little oyster can wats! I threw a rope to the sailorB on the deck of the destroyer and my compauy slid down the rope, about 40 feet, to the deck of the destroyer ^without a mishap. I followed the men and when I hit that deck (and believe me 1 was some slider, Ringling'a beat man had nothing on me) I was all in. My orderly, who stood by waiting for me to come down, assisted me to a gun turret, where we lay for four houss before we landed on the "old sod". On the way in we hit a storm and that little boat with its load of 800 boys did roll and toss. The physical weakness of reaction overpowered me, "It was raining when we hit Ireland and I never in all my life had mud, the stickiest of black mud feel so good to my feet before. I could have rolled in and cried out for joy. "Thanks to the wireless we were expected and an Irish regiment met us at the dock with a hot Btew for the men and hot'Irish' and a meal for the officers. Talk about international amenities, those 'British' soldiers certainly received us with open arms. "We mustered in the morning and what a motley crew to call an army, dressed in everything from Tommy uniforms of the Black Watch down, curlers, Scotch and civilian garb—anw thing for warmth "So we rested for a day and then journeyed to Belfast and rested again.

A good crowd was present and the seating capacity of the house waa taxed te overflowing, as several were obliged to stand during the evening. As there is plenty of room for more seats in this thews**, the management aheett provide them for its patrons. The play was a delightfully funny skit abounding ia sparkling witticisms and humorous situations and the entire cast surely fulfilled expections in manner in which they portrayed the various characters, and each individual who played, is entitled to much praise for success achieved. The directors also, have shown themselves vto be students of the histrionic art and_ are to congratulated on the reamlta they have accomplished in the thankless task of producing an entertainment of this kind.

My company had 'beaten me to i t ' Thanks to the drill which had this very emergency in view, they were lined up in perfect order, as though on the parade ground back in the training camp. "A glance sufficed to determine that our lifeboats were useless. The torpedo had the indecency to strike ira-. mediately below our staterooms and* boat deck. The first boat hung on the davits in splinters and the lowering davits were so bent and twisted that they could not have been used had we use for them, which we did not, for the boats on the boat deck were so crashed as to be useless. Three series of boats, about 15 in all, were Bmashed. "But there was no mad rush for the other boats that were being lowered. We were helpless, yet my men stood calmly at attention, mute witnesses to the accidents in lowering other boats which fell—drowning and smaahing men-powerleas to extend aid to our unfortunate comrades. "Two hours and ten minutes we stood, in the deepening darkness, on ttfee dock of that ahattarod ship as it slowly went to its doom, hating, as the moments passed, so that it was difficult to stand upright upon the deck, powerless to avert the fate which reached oat for ua. Those hours seeseed ages. It requires courage to calmly face alow to approaching death in inaction. There were.no white feathers exhibited down that iine of Yankee soldiers.

The president took up the subject with Secretary Baker imme. diately after the secretary's return from France. 100,000 FREIGHT CARS ORDERED Huge Contracts Placed by McAdoo Aggregate $325,000,000. Washington—Orders for 70,000 addi. tional freight cars, to supplement 30,000 contracted for several days ago, have been placed by the railroad ad ministration, with 15 car building con corns.

CRISIS IN AUSTRIA FORCES CLOSING OF PARLIAMENT FOOD 8HORTAQE8 AND RIOT8 \\i DUAL MONARCHY CAUSE KING TO BAR 8E88ION8 OF LAW BODY. AMERICANS PENETRATE FOE'S THIRD LINE IN LORRAINE Activity On Austro-italian Front Increases—British Losses in Big Battle 260,000 Men— Foe Held in Check. Washington—Emperor Charles of Austria has empowered the Austrian premier to adjourn parliament and forthwith take steps to make impossible the resumption of its activities, «ayt* a Vienna dispatch to Amsterdam May 5. A statement published in Vienna indicates that the closure of parliament is due to the seriousness of the food situation. Austria has been deep in difficulties, both political and economic, for more than a year, and it has been an open secret that Emperor Charles was desirous of bringing about peace, his efforts in this direction having occasionally aroused criticism in Berlin. In the last few months, there have been insistent reports that the food situation in Austria was growing des» perate. Americans Deliver Attack. With the French Armies in the Field —The German third line in the region of Dogs' Wood, on the Lorraine front, was penetrated by 300 American infantrymen May 3, in the first operation ever conducted exclusively with American artillery. The attack followed an intense bombardment by the Yankee batteries. "The American gunners displayed perfect mastery of the French artillerymethods," declared the French official note, in which the attack was announced. Activity On Italian Front London—Vienna dispatches announce greatly increased activity along the Austrio-Italian lines, where a renewal of the Teutonic offensive has long been threatened. The Rome official statement does not give a like picture of the front line activities, but records intensive aerial operations. British Losses 250,000 Men. Washington—British losses, in me) killed, wounded, captured and missing on the western front since the German offensive began, March 21, are estimated by the British military mission here at nearly 250,000. Foe Onrush Is Checked. London—The present phase of the battle on the Ypres and Amiena fronts is not unlike that before Verdun, two years ago, after the first German rush had been stopped and even attempts to carry local objectives had met with defeat. Germany has lost heavily, but the emperor still has reserves to throw into the fight. The defeat on the Meteren- Voonnezeele line southwest of Ypres has taught the Germans that the Allies are prepared to stand their ground, and there seems little inclination at the present moment to renew a conflict which threatens to be disastrous. Under the German blows the Allied armies seem to be welded together as never before. There now is no point of junction at which the Germans can thrust The process of welding together the two armies is complete, but it will not stop there. Franco-British divisions will be moved about on a solidly knitted front, at the wish of the Allied high command, as freely aa German divisions. Bohemian Troops Join Italy. London—The Daily Mail's correspondent at Italian headquarters says that the Bohemian troopa are Joining th» Italian troops against Austria and that the first detachments are already on. the Italian fighting line wearing Italian uniforms. The defection of the Bohemian* would in a measure explain the delay in the proposed great offensive Ion* heralded, of the Auetrlant against the Italians. Germane Capture tabeetopol.

After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he Is sent to training quarters In France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empey's company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the Are step while the bullets whis overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. 31 CHAPTER X—Continued. We had a sergeant in our battalion fcamed Warren. He was on duty with his platoon In the fire trench one afternoon when orders came up from the rear that he had been granted seven days' leave for Blighty, and would be relieved at five o'clock to proceed to England. He was tickled to death at these welcome tidings and regaled his more or less envious mates beside him on the fire step with the good times in store for him. He figured it out that in two days' time he would arrive at Waterloo station, London, and then— seven days'.bliss! At atydut five minutes to five he started to fidget with his rifle, and then suddenly springing up on the fire step with a muttered, "I'll send over a couple of souvenirs to Fritz so that he'll miss me when I leave," he stuck his rifle over the top and flred two shots when "crack" went a bullet and he tumbled off the step, fell into the mud at the bottom of the trench, and lay still In a huddled heap with a bullet hole In his forehead. At about the time he expected to arrive at Waterloo station he was laid to rest in a little cemetery behind the lines. He had gone to Blighty. In the trenches one can never tell— it Is not safe to plan very far ahead. After "stand down" the men sit on the fire stej*- or repair to their respective dugouts and wait for the "rum Issue" to materialize. Immediately following the rum comes breakfast, brought up from the rear. Sleeping is then In order unless some special work turns up. Around 12:30 dinner shows up. When this Is eaten the men try to amuse themselves until "tea" appears at about four o'clock, then "stand to" and they carry on as before. While In rest billets Tommy gets up about six In the morning, washes up, answers roll call, Is Inspected by his platoon officer, and has breakfast. At 8:45 he parades (drills) with his company or goes on fatigue according to the orders which have been "read out by the orderly sergeant the night previous. Between 11:30 and noon he is dismissed, has his dinner and is "on his own" for the remainder of the day, unless he has clicked for a digging or ,worklng party, and so it goes on from day to day, always "looping the loop" and looking forward to peace and Blighty. Sometimes, while engaged In a "cootie" hunt, you think. Strange to say, but it is a fact, while Tommy is searching his shirt serious thoughts come to him. Many a time, when performing this operation, I have tried to figure out the outcome of the war and what will happen to me. My thoughts generally ran In this channel: Will I emerge safely from the next attack? If I do will I skin through the following one, and so on? While your mind is wandering into the future It Is likely to be rudely brought to earth by a Tommy Interrupting with, "What's good for rheumatism?*' Then you have something else to think of. Will you come out of this war crippled and tied into knots with rheumatism, caused by the wet and mud of trenches and dugouts? Ton give it up as a bad job and generally saunter over to the nearest estamlnet to drown your moody forebodings in a glass of sickening French beer or to try your luck at the always present game of "house." You can hear the stng-soig voice of a Tommy droning out the numbers as he extracts the little squares of cardboard from ths baf between his feet CHAPTER XI. Over tlit Ton, On my second trip to the trenches enr officer was making hit rounds of Inspection, and wa received tha cheat fnl aawa that at four in the morning we wars to go orer tha top and take the German front-line trench. My heart turned to lead. Then the officer carried on with his Instructions. To the best of my memory I recall them as follows: "At eleven a wiring party will go out in front and cut lanes through our barbed wire for the passage of troops In the morning. At two o'clock our artillery will open up with an intense bombardment, which will last until four. Upon the lifting of the barrage the first of the three waves will go over." Then he left. Some of the Tommies, first getting permission from the sergeant, went Into the machine gunners' dugout and wrote letters home, saying that In the morning they were going over the top, and also that If the letters reached their destination it would mean that the writer had been killed. These letters were turned over to the captain with instructions to mail same In the event of the writer's being killed. Some of the men made out their wills In their pay books, under the caption, "Will and Last Testament." Then the nerve-racking wait commenced. Every now and then I would glance at the dial of my wrist watch and was surprised to see how fast the minutes passed by. About five minutes to two I got nervous waiting for our guns to open up. I could not take my eyes from my watch. I crouched against the parapet and strained my muscles in a deathlike grip upon my rifle. As the hands on my watch showed two o'clock a blinding red flare lighted up the sky In our rear, then thunder, Intermixed with a sharp, whistling sound In the air over our heads. The shells from our guns were speeding on their way toward the German lines. With one accord the men sprang up on the fire step and looked over the top In the direction of the German trenches. A line of bursting shells lighted up No Man's Land. The din wns terrific and the ground trembled. Then, high above our heads we could hear a sighing moan. Our big boys behind the line had opened up and 9.2's and 15-Inch shells commenced dropping Into the German lines. The flash of the guns behind the lines, the scream of the shells through the air, and the flare of them, bursting, was a spectacle that put Pain's greatest display into the shade. The constant pup, pup, of German machine guns and an occasional rattle of rifle firing gave me the impression of a huge audience applauding the work of the batteries. Our 18-pounders were destroying the German barbed wire, while the heavier stuff was demolishing their trenches and bashing in dugouts or funk holes. Then Fritz got busy. Their shells went - screaming overhead, aimed in the direction of the flares from our batteries. Trench mortars started dropping "Minnies" in our front line. We clicked several casualties. Then they suddenly ceased. Our artillery had taped or silenced them. During the bombardment yon could almost read a newspaper in our trench. Sometimes in the flare of a shell-burst a man's body would be silhouetted against the parados of the trench and it appeared like a huge monster. You could hardly hear yourself think. When an order was t o be passed down the trench you had to yell I t using yonr hands as a funnel Into the ear of the man sitting next to yon on the fire step. In about twenty minutes a generous rum issue was doled o u t After drinking the ram, which tasted like varnish and sent a shudder through yonr frame, yon wondered why they made yon wait until the lifting of the barrage before going over. At ten minutes to four word was passed down, "Ten minutes to gol** Ten minutes to live I We were shivering all orer. My legs felt as If they were asleep. Then word was passed down: "First wave gat on and near the scaling tad* den,- ^ These were small wooden ladders which we had placed against tha para< pat to enable us to go over tha top on the lifting of the barraga. "Ladders of death" we called them, and veritably they were. Before a charge Tommy is the politest of men. There is never any pushing or crowding to be first up these ladders. We crouched around the base of the ladders waiting for the word to go over. I was sick and faint, and was puffing away at an unlighted fag. Then came the word, "Three minutes to go; upon the lifting of the barrage and on the blast of the whistles, 'Over the top with the best o' luck and give them hell.'" The famous phrase of the western front The Jonah phrase of the western front To Tommy it means if you are lucky enough to come back you will be minus an arm or a leg. Tommy hates to be wished the best of luck; so, when peace is declared, if it ever Is, and you meet a Tommy on the street, Just wish him the best of luck and duck the brick that follows, ^ I glanced again at my wrist watch. We all wore them and you could hardly call us "sissies" for doing so. It was a minute to four. I could see the hand move to the twelve, then a dead silence. It h u r t Everyone looked up to see what had happened, but not for long. Sharp whistle blasts rang out along the trench, and with a cheer the men scrambled up the ladders. The bullets were cracking overhead, and occasionally a machine gun would rip and tear the top of the sandbag parapet. How I got up that ladder I will never know. The first ten feet out in front was agony. Then we passed through lanes in our barbed wire. I knew I was running, but could feel no motion below the waist. Patches on the ground seemed to float to the rear as if I were on a treadmill and scenery was rushing past me. The Germans had put a barrage of shrapnel across No Man's Land, and you could hear the pieces slap the ground about you. After I had passed our barbed wire and gotten Into No Man's Land a Tommy about fifteen feet to my right front turned around and looking in ray direction, put his hand to his mouth and yelled something which I could not make out on account of the noise from the bursting shells. Then he coughed, stumbled, pitched forward and lay still. His body seemed to float to the rear of me. I could hear sharp cracks In the air about me. These were caused by passing rifle bullets. Frequently, to my right and left, little spurts of dirt would rise Into the air and a ricochet bnllet would whine on Its way. If a Tommy should see one of these little spurts In front of him, he would tell the nurse about It later. The crossing of No Man's Land remains a blank to me. Men on my right and left would stumble and fall. Some would try to get up, while others remained huddled and motionless. Then smashed-up barbed wire came Into view and seemed carried on a tide to the rear. Suddenly, In front of me loomed a bashed-ln trench about four feet wide. Queer-looking forms like mud turtles were scrambling up its wall. One of these forms seemed to slip and then rolled to the bottom of the trench. I leaped across this intervening space. The man to my left seemed to pause In midair, then pitched head down into the German trench. I laughed out loud in my delirium. Upon alighting on the other side of the trench I came to with a sudden jolt Right in front of me loomed a giant form with a rifle which looked about ten feet long, on the end of which seemed seven bayonets. These flashed in the air In front of me. Then through my mind flashed the admonition of our bayonet Instructor back in Blighty. He had .said, "whenever you get In a charge and run your bayonet up to the hilt into a German the Fritz will fall. Perhaps your rifle will be wrenched from your grasp. Do not waste time, if the bayonet Is fouled In his equipment by putting your foot on his stomach and tugging at the rifle to extricate the bayonet. Simply press the trigger and the bullet will free It** In my present situation this was the logic, but for the life of me I could not remember how he had told me to get my bayonet into the German. To me this was the paramount issue. I closed my eyes and longed forward. My rifle was torn from my hands. I must have gotten the German because he had disappeared. About twenty feet to my left front was a hnge Prussian nearly six feet four inches in height a fine specimen of physical manhood. The bayonet from his rifle waa missing, but he clutched tha barrel in both hands and was swinging the butt around his head, I could almost hear the swish of the butt passing through tha air. Three little Tommies wete engaged with hlttt. They looked like pigmies alongside of the PruiJifittft, The yuiujuy on liic left was gradually circling to the rear of bis opponent. It was u funny sight to see them duck the swinging butt and try to Jab him at the same time. The Tommy nearest me received the butt of the German's rifle in a smashing blow below the right temple. It smashed his head like an eggshell. He pitched forward on his side and a convulsive shudder ran through his body. Meanwhile the other Tommy had gained the rear of the Prussian. Suddenly about four Inches of bayonet protruded from the throat of the Prussian soldier, who staggered forward and fell. I will never forget the look of blank astonishment that came over his face. Then something hit me in the left shoulder and my left side went namb. It felt as If a hot poker was being driven through me. I felt no pain— Just a sort of nervous shock. A bayonet had pierced me from the rear. I fell backward on the ground, but was not unconscious, because I* could see dim objects moving around me. Then a flash of light in front of my eyes and unconsciousness. Something had hit me on the head. I have never found out what it was. I dreamed I was being tossed about in an open boat on a heaving sea and opened my eyes. The moon was shining. I was on a stretcher being carried down one of our communication trenches. At the advanced first-aid post my wounds were dressed, and then I was put Into an ambulance and sent to one of the base hospitals. The wounds In my shoulder and head were not serious and In six weeks I had rejoined my company for service In the front line. Empey Joins the "Suicide club." The thrilling details are told in the next installment. (TO B E CONTINUED.) DEADLY WEAPON OF WARFARE German Albatross is Probably the Most Powerful Machine That Has Yet Been Developed. The tendency in airplanes has been to run to two extremes—for fighting, as small and fast as possible; and for bombing, as large and powerful as possible. In a three-seated, one passenger sits out In front mounted In a machine-gun turret. The pilot comes next, Immediately behind the motor, while the second passenger sits behind him mounted in another machine- gun turret. This airplane Is capable of carrying many bunded pounds of explosives and, being very fast and heavily armed, generally accomplishes Its mission. The German albatross la capable of a horizontal speed of 300 kilometers (about 187 miles) an hour. It Is a single seater and carries three machine guns, which, being controlled by the motor, shoot automatically and simultaneously through the propeller. The sight of these weapons converges at approximately 50 yards In front of the airplane, making the chance of hitting the opponent three times aa sure. The motor is equipped with an electric self-starter. It has also electrical devices for keeping the water warm In the radiator while flying at great heights. The wing surface Is less than 20 square yards.—Scrlbner's. Silkworms of the Sea. Plenty of worms live In the sea, and some of them are very beautiful creatures. Which latter fact ought to be consoling to ourselves, inasmuch as there are naturalists who contend that the earliest ancestor of the human race was a marine worm. But the so-called "silkworm of the sea"—the designation being purely figurative and poetical— Is a bivalve mollusk properly known as the "pinna" and native to the Mediterranean. It spins a silk so beautiful that in ancient days the fiber was reserved exclusively for the weaving of royal garments. This silk Is spun by the mollusk to furnish an anchor line by which It fastens Itself to a convenient rock. It Is extremely fine and very strong. Cleaned, dried and passed through combs, It Is reduced to delicate threads of a lustrous brownishyellow hue, which are woven into gloves, stockings and other articles. A pair of stockings of this material today costs $6.-Philadelphia Ledger. Pretty Bright Mule. Tbe farmer alleged a freight train of the defendant company had hit one Of his mules.

Not only will it provide a feast of brilliant music for music lovers, but in many ways it will take on the aspects of an important patriotic demonstration. A Choral Union service flag of 53 stars will be diapUyalong side of "Old Glory" while each program of the festival will be featured with patriotic music. At the opening concert, Wednesday evening, before the beginning of the formal program Frederick Stock will lead the orchestra, chorus and audience in the singing of "America". In the same program the two distinguished oprratic atars, Margarete Matzenauer, and Ticcardo Stracciari, in apdition to the formal numbers assigned to them, will each make patriotic contributions, Madame Matzenauer -ingirg the Freach | anthem, "The Marseillaise', and Stracciari, a patriotic Italian air, entitled "My Flag", particularly significant in view of the fact that he has two sons at the Italian front one of whom not yet )& years of age has been honered with a Lieutenant's commission for valiant service. Thursday evening Caesar Francis's menomental oratorio "The Beatitudes' Will receive its initial Ann Arbor performance. The work is a beautifdl composition with brilliant choral passages and orchestral and ariys requiring the services of thegreatest soloiets. I t is significant that this work will be given by a cast all of whom are Americans. By special request the program wiH be preceded by Dr. Stanley's "Hymn of Consecraaion" dedicated to the times and especially written for last year's Festival. Its sentiments are deep and strong and worthy of the important period through which we are passing. \ At the Friday Afternoon Program the children will contribute '"Into the World", a composition in absolute harmony with the spirit of these fateful days. The children wiH also sing "America", while the evening's program, at which Claudia Muzio, the distinguished Italian Soprano, will be the star, will be preceded by "The Star Spangled Banner". At the Organ Recital Saturday afternoon given by Josep'i Bonnet, the emfrient French Organist, the audience will be led in the singing of patriotic songs by Earl V. Moore, with accompaniment by Mr. Bonnet. The performance of "Carmen" on Saturday evening, in whieh the operatic stars, Matzenauer, Martinelli, de Luca, Middleton, Sharlow, will be heard, will be precebad by the singing the " S t a r Spangled Banner" and at t h e close of the formal program, as B ft - ting climax to the week of music, the aucience, chorus, and orchestra will unite in a triumphant rendition of "America." MISSIONARY The meeting at Mrs. H. F. Sigler's was a success. A large number of ladies assembled to hear Miss Edith Bell tell of her work in South Africa. She delivered her message rapidly and so enthusiastioally that the attention of every lady was held throughout her long address and inspired all with zeal. Miss Bell told of her arrival in Africa. The chief promised hk- influence in starting a school and they were taken out into a trackless meadow, arriving just at night. N a h \ « came to them to see why they wvri- there and were pleased. The next morning at dawn forty children presented themselves as pupils. Without equipment of any kind, without any building she had to begin. They soon made a hut of the long meadow grass which served very well during the dry season. She and the girls took clay and experimented till they could make good bricks and before she came on her furlough after having been there over four years they had made 60,000 bricks and had more comfortable homes. She bought a tract of land containing 3500 acres for one cent an sere. She has promise of a tractor to take baek with her and wishes some one would give a span of amies, A young ladies branch wis organized with 17 members and six members added to ths W. F. II. S. A social hour was held and everyone wae reloetaat to let Miss Bell go. No worthier cause has ever existed than the Red Cross.

Claims Are All Right But Only Proofs Count Any maker m a y claim for his product all the qualities there are. That It U | privilege. He ]may even think his claims are justified. You read the advertisements, so you know t h a t makers, as a rule, art not Q j p modest in t h a t regard. If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. In your experience, t h a t theory doesn't hold. Maxwell is different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore .claims in the ordinary sense—they are State* ments of fact —proven facts. They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under oath. For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials. That still remains a world's record- the world's record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. Among other things it still stands the world's long distance speed record. Just consider—44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour! And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825.* You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a transcontinental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and eleven hours. Now compare those two feats—one of less than six days, the other of 44 days. You know automobiles—which was the greater test? Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance? Proves ycu don't need to pay more than $826 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell.

Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the 44 days and m^hts continuous running, she was started again and off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning-^ especially in the West where the real hills are. % The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—waa taken by a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. Then- three days later—a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder recoici by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a climb 'v, arn't it? So r.lawveli still holds the Mount Wilson honors. Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis. Economy— also a matter of official record. Others may claim—Maxwell proves. Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners—thousands of them— driving their own Maxwells. Nor were they new Maxwells the contest was made by 1915, 16, and 17 models; many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service—three years' use. Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions—all kinds were encountered in the various sections of the country. Good roads and bad—level country and mountainous regions—heat and cold— sunshine and rain—asphalt and mud. And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon! There's economy for you. And under actual'average driving conditions—not laboratory test. B u t that isn't all. The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and relit* biXty and economy all in the same run. In t h a t 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop rmn, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour. Now you know t h a t speed costs—and t h a t economy tests are usuaMy made i t slow-speed—closed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions. You know too t h a t you can obtain economy of fuel by building and HjttfUtg for that one condition. Speed you can get by building for speed.

BURLESON MADE MAIL CENSOR Washington—By a vote of 48 to 26 the senate on May 4 adopted the conference report on the new espionage bill designed to suppress disloyal utterances and Increase the postmaster1 general's censorship over the press. The action was a complete victory for administration. Te bill flees 20 years' imprisonment and 110,000 fine as the penalty for uttering or publishing disloyal or seditious language. Opponents of the measure who have contended that freedom of Bpeech and of the press would be curtailed lost their fight to strike out a clause giving the postmaster general authority to withhold mail believed to violate the espionage laws. The bill was initiated a year ago. It amends the espionage act and, with the "woman spy" bill recently passed completes the cycle of legislation urged by the department of justice as necessary to clothe the government with power to deal with sedition and disloyalty and prevent mob violence which has resulted, for the departments, inability to obtain convictions of persons making disloyal utterances. That the legislation is unnecessary, unconstitutional, too drastic and confers too wide discretion upon admin» istrative officials have been the principal arguments of those opposing it. The final vote was along non-partisan lines, many Republicans joining a majority of the Democrats in supporting the legislation. * Two Democrats, Senators Hardwick, Georgia, and Reed, Missouri, joined with 24 Republicans in opposition. As redrafted by the conferees, the bill's penalties apply, during the war, to persons wilfully uttering "disloyal, profane, scurrilous or abusive language about the form of the government of the United States the constitution, the military or naval forces, the flag or uniform of the United States or any language intended to bring the form of government of the United States, the constitution, the military or naval forces, the flag or uniform of the United States into contempt, scorn, contumely or disrepute." It also penalizes language "intended to incite, provoke or encourage resistance to the United States or to promote the cause of its enemies" and willful display of the flag of any enemy nation. RECORD IN SHIPBUILDING MADE New Jersey Yard Completes 330 Foot Vessel in Less Than Month. Washington—What is said to be a world's record for shipbuilding was established Sunday in the launching of the 5,550-ton steel collier Tuckahoe by the New York Shipbuilding company, of Camden, N. J., in less than a month from the time the keel was laid. Completion of the vessel in so short a time is regarded by shipping board officials as one of the most remarkable industrial achievements in history. They said nothing like such a record is known for such a large vessel. The Tuckahoe was to have been delivered June 15, but takes its place under the flag 41 days ahead of time. The Tuckahoe is 330 feet long, 50 feet broad and will have a speed of 10 1-2 knots. KALAMAZOO HAS $130,000 FIRE Backfire of Motor 8tarts Blaze On Tank Motor Truck. Kalamazoo.

Large-scale production and distribution are necessary to convert the live stock of the West into meat and by-producta, and to distribute them over long distances to the consuming centers of the East and abroad. Only an organization like that of Swift & Company, with its many packing plants, hun* dreds of distributing houses, and thousands of refrigerator cars, would have been able to handle the varying seasonal supplies of live stock and meet the present war emergency by supplying, without interruption: Firar—The U. S. soldiers and the Allies in Europe by shipping as much as 8 0 0 carloads of meat products in a single week! Second— The cantonments in the United States. Third—The retailers upon whom the American public depends for its daily supply of meat. But many people ask—Do producers and consumers pay too much for the complex service rendered? Everyone, we believe, concedes the efficiency of the Swift 6c Company organization —in performing a big job in a big way at a minimum of expense. Swift c% Company's total profit in 1917 was less'than 4 cents on each dollar of sales of meat and by-products. Elimination of this profit would have had practically no effect on live stock and meat prices.

FIND IT IS TIME-SAVER Can Be Applied in L e w Than One- Half Time Required for Operation of Spraying. By W. C. DUTTON. Experiment Station, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—The use of sulp h u r and a r s e n a t e of lead applied in t h e form of dust as a substitute for t h e s t a n d a r d liquid sprays to prevent t h e most prevalent apple orchard troubles eueh as scab (Venturia inaequalis) codling moth, bud moth, leaf-roller and others, has been developed to a considerable extent during the last t h r e e or four years. Experiments were accordingly begun by the college at Morrlce, Shiawassee county, in 1915, and in other places In 1916 and 1917 to determine if possible the efficiency of dusts, t h e best formulae to use and to a limited extent the relative costs of this method under Michigan orchard conditions. Materials Used. The sulphur used in this work w a s very fine, the manufacturers guaranteeing that 95 per cent of it would pass through a 200-mesh screen and factory results by dusting when t h e foliage wus dry. It Is very doubtful If the extra ^application of dust made in July had uny beneficial effect a s weather conditions were not favorable for scab infection before t h e August amplication. Comparative Costa. Dust can be applied in less than one-half the time required for the actual operation of spraying, exclusive of time necessary for refilling sprayer tank. The cost of material for dusting has been more than for spraying. A comparison of the time required per tree and total cost of labor and material for one and four applications la shown in table below. The difference in t h e total cost of the two methods for extensive commercial operations would undoubtedly be smaller than is shown here. Insect Control. No data w a s secured about insect control because there h a s never been enough Insect injury on t h e untreated trees to give an accurate check as to the efficiency of the dust for this purpose. Experiments in New York h a v e shown that the leaf-roller and codling moth can be controlled t h e r e by t h e dusting method. This work leads u s to believe that t h e dusting method will control the insects in Michigan orchards. Conclusions. This summary is intended simply t o show the progress of t h e experiments that have been conducted for t h e last three years with t h e sulphur dusts. No definite conclusions a r e intended to be drawn at this time from this work as t h e use of dusting material as a substitute for liquid mixtures is still in the experimental stage. If this method of control continues to develop as rapidly as during the past few years, It will prove of great value to many apple growers, largely be- Comparative Cost of Dusting and Spraying.

The a r s e n a t e of lead was also exceedingly fine, one manufacturer stating that his product would pass through the finest screen obtainable. In some of the work mixtures were used which contained some inert filler or diluent such as gypsum or hydrated lime. The dusting h a s all been done in direct comparison with the standard dilute lime-sulphur and arsenate of lead. What were the results? In 1915 scab was not controlled very successfully by either dusting or spraying. A large percentage of t h e scabby fruit was caused by late infections. T h e weather conditions were very favorable for scab development after J u n e 13. If extra applications had been made better control of scab would probably have been secured. This brings out the occasional need for an extra t r e a t m e n t in seasons of frequent rains. T h e results at harvest showed the sprayed trees to have 10 p e r cent less of scabby fruit than the dusted trees. Other factors probably affecting the results in the dusted plot were Inexperience with the dusting method, a duster too small for satisfactory work and the application of dust from one side of the trees only. In 1916, dusting failed almost entirely to control apple scab. The control of scab on the sprayed plot of fitarks was very poor.< This Is possibly explained by* the fact that t h e " p i n k " application w a s made before t h e blossom buds had all separated in the clusters. T h e control in t h e other • p r a y e d plots w a s very much better t h a n In the dusted plots. T h e periods of Infection were all In the early p a r t of t h e season. In 1915 they were all late In t h e season. T h e dusting method gave very satisfactory results in 1917. T h e results equaled those secured In t h e sprayed plots.

It Is not possible to tell Just w h y t h e results with dusting were so m u c h [more satisfactory in 1917 t h a n i n pre* vious years. T h i s success m a y h a v e been due to one or all of t h e following factors—mor« efficient application of d u s t finer m a t e r i a l s . o r more timely application with relation to Infection period*. Better results were obtained at Morrice and Ifutr, where much of the dusttog WM done when the tree* were wet wtth either rain or dew than at Betdng, where the trees were always dry [when material was applied. Bereral jejewera, however, hare secured aetiav cause of the ease and rapidity of application. Suggestions. For the benefit of fruit growers w h o may care to use the dusting method at this time, a few suggestions m a y prove helpful. A duster of sufficient capacity a n d power should be used. Efficient work cannot be done with an undersized machine. Special dusting sulphur should always be used. The ordinary grades of sulphur a r e not satisfactory. Home-mixing of materials should not be tried unless a special mixing machine is used. Applications should be made from two opposite directions and preferably when there is not any wind. Unlike spraying, dusting can be safely done when the foliage is w e t More applications of dust than a r e usually made of t h e liquid sprays will probably be desirable. However, t h e number will depend largely upon weather conditions. T h e applications of dust should, of course, be made before scab infection periods. Cool and rainy weather is favorable to scab development. The horticultural department also conducted a dusting experiment with peaches in 1917 b u t ' n o definite conclusions could b e d r a w n from the results of this work a s there was so very little injury by Insects o r diseases In t h e u n t r e a t e d plots. This work Indicated, however, t h a t peaches can be dusted safely and that peach scab and brown r o t can be controlled by dusting.

NEARLY e^rybody suffers from kidney disease at some time or other. One may think he is per* fectly well and even force himself to say he is "all right," but his tired movements and languid expression tell more plainly than words that be is in an unhoalthful condition. Backache is a symptom of weak disordered kidneys. Rheumatic pains, •tiff joints, sore muscles are others. These symptomi indicate that the kidneys and bladder need help to do the work of filtering end casting out from the system poisons and waste products that cause trouble.

I am feeling well and like army life real well, even though we have considerable work to do. I have gained 23 pounds since I have been in the army. I like this camp real well. We have nice barracks to live in—all kinds of conveniences, but at Kelly field near San Antonio we had only tents to, live in and couldn't tell five minutes before when a sand storm would come. Kelly field covered about 14,000 acres and had 200,000 soldiers tbere when I left, on the 15th of March. There are four large flying fields there numbered 1—2 3—4, and the aviators work their way up beginning at No. 1. They have three thousand machines there. This is not an aviation field, it is « Concentration Camp and Supply Depot. That is we are held here until «they want us "over there," and in the meantime they equip us with every thing that is needed for over seas service.

This should not be designated the "triumphal entry," for It was only In outward appearances. The shouts were empty and meaningless. It was the promised King publicly offering himself to the nation. 1. The preparation (vv. 1-C). (1) Two disciples sent for the ass (vv. 1-3). He told them Just where to go to find it, and how to answer the owner's Inquiry. This shows how perfectly the Lord knows our ways. His matchless gaze beholds all that we think or do, by day or night. It also shows that God uses unlikely and Insignificant things In the accomplishment of his purposes. The providing of this animal was the working out of the Divine plan according to Christ's foreknowledge. (2) Obedience of the disciples (vv. 4-6). Without asking why, they go at his bidding. The command may have seemed strange and unreasonable, but they rendered explicit obedience. The true disciple will render full and glad obedience, no matter how strange or unreasonable the command may seem. 2. The entry Into the city of Jerusalem (vv. 7-10). (1) The disciples put their garments upon the ass and net the Lord upon it (y. 7). This net showed their recognition of him as their king (2 Kings 9:13). (2) The multitude. Some spread their garments In the way; others who had no garments to spare, cut down branches and strewed them In the way, which was just as acceptable unto him. To give what we have and do what we can, Is all that the Lord.demands of tls. This entry was In fulfillment of a prophecy uttered some five hundred years before (Zech. 9:9). (3) The Lord's action (v. 10). Upon entering the Temple, he looked around upon all things; but as It was eventide he withdrew to Bethany with the twelve. II. Jesus Exercising His Royal Authority (w. 12-19). 1. The barren fig tree cursed (vr. 12-14). The fig tree is typical of the Jewish nation. The fruit normally appears on the fig tree ahead of the leaves. Hie presence of leaves is the assurance of fruit This was an acted pcrabJe of the Lord's Judgment on Israel for pretension of being the chosen people without the fruits thereof. It Indicated the spiritual state of the Jews. 2. The Temple cleansed (w. 15-19). For the various sacrifices In the Temple, many oxen, sheep and doves were needed. Many persons came from the distant parts of the land; therefore it was impracticable for them to bring their sacrifices with them, so they brought money and bought the animals needed. This privilege the law had granted to them (Deub 14:24-26), for the exchange was necessary. When evil men used it as an opportunity for gain, It became an offense before God. It defiled his house. He made himself a scourge of cords, and drove out the money changers, overthrowing their tables and ponring onr their money. By this act he declared himself to be the Lord of the Temple and one with God- That which God Intended to be a house of prayer for nil nations was being made a "den of thieves," HI. Jews' Authority Challenged (rt. 27-38). They challenged him to show by what anthority he accepted the honors of the Messiah, and who gave him the authority to cast out the. moneychangers.

CONFIDENT OF HOLDING EMENY If Present Plans Are Carried Out American Forces Will Go into Fray As a Separate Unit Ottawa—So confident is the Entente of its ability to withstand* any drive the Germans can launch It has been decided not to use the American army until it becomes a complete and powerful force, according to a cable summary of operations on the western front received here from the war committee of the British cabinet. The dispatch points out that the German drive with greatly superior numbers has been halted by the allies without the necessity of calling on great numbers of reserve troops as the German command has been compelled to do. It states that the Teuton reserves are nearly exhausted while the allied forces held In reserve are ready to meet any new blow of the enemy, wherever it may fall. "The position now Is," said the summary, "the Germans, determined to concentrate every available unit on one enormous offensive, are draining their country dry to force a decision before it is too late, while the Entente is so confident that, having been given the choice of a small Immediate American army for defense or waiting till they are reinforced by a complete, powerful, self-supporting American army, has chosen the latter." American Units to Be Distinct. Washington—News of the British statement that the Entente la so confident of its ability to hold the Germans that the American army is not to be used until it becomes a complete and self-supporting force was received by army officers here with frank delight. They are pleased, not only because of the supreme confidence indicated by such a decision, but on account of the keen desire of American military men to take the field against the enemy as a distinctly American force. Under the old plan of filling up the British and French gaps with Ameri can reserves, the Americans were being equipped and supplied by armies to which they were attached. If that plan is changed, the Americans now going overseas as fast as ships can be provided to carry them will march to the front as soon as their training behind the lines is completed, as an American army, a new and powerful force to play a part of driving the Germans back across their own borders. DRAFT HASTAKEN 1,300,000 MEN Expected Army Will Reach Strength of 3 Million Within Year. Washington—More than 1,3000,000 men have been called in the draft so far and either are in France, in camp, or under call to go into service before June 1. The total of 1,300,000 includes all men summoned in the May contingent There is every Indication that even a larger increment will be summoned in June than was summoned in May and a progressive monthly mobilization continue through the summer and fall months as the cantonments are expanded. It is expected that at such a rate the army will reach a full strength of well over 3,000,000 within the next 12 or 13 months. It is possible, some officers say, that the number will be closer to 6,000,000 than 3,000,000. ARMY COUNCIL DROPS MAURICE Accuser of Lioyd George la Retired Because of Public Statement*, London—Gen. Sir Frederick B. Maurice, former director of military operations, has been retired by the army council. The council considered Gen.

IS ON "THE RUN" Planting of Clean Bean Seed This Spring Will Rid Crop of Disease, Pathologist Says. THOROUGH PICKING HELPFUL Careful Removal of All Stained and ^Blotched Beans From the 8eed Stock Lessens the Danger. ^,-¾^ I *-.. • # , - • By DR. Q. H. COONS, Plant Pathologist ML A. C. Experiment Station. East Lansing, Mich,—Michigan bean growers have experienced two disastrous seasons In which weather conditions have practically* cut in two crops grown at great expense. Before 1016 and 1917 plant disease, and especially anthracnose, had year after year brought enormous loss to the growers In many sections, and In some districts crop failure. To this dismal condition must be added the damage prought about in the fall of 1917 by the rainy period which caught nearly the entire crop while it was still piled In the field. As a result the beans that were produced were in the bulk of cases greatly lessened In value by "ground rot." Where farmers lacked facilities for spreading out the wet crop to dry, beans that picked 40 pounds tq the bushel were not uncommon. Naturally under such conditions of moisture countless bushels have become musty. , Combined with certain vagaries in the price, these losses have caused many growers to question the advisability of longer clinging to this crop. A national problem of grave importance is wrapped up in this matter. But discussion of the diseases of beans and not of acreage, the price of seed and the California competition Is the province of this article, though undoubtedly these questions must be decided on a sound business basis, in which true patriotism and a desire to obey the call of the country must be paramount considerations. ! What may the farmer expect In the way of bean diseases in IBIS? To begin with, plant diseases are not caused by the weather. This has been said so often that It has become an old story to many farmers, but there are still many others who, seeing the direct relation between weather and disease epidemics, blame the whole matter on rainy seasons and stop there. If the trouble stopped there this article would not be written, for no one has yet found a way to control the weather. There Is, however, another side to be considered. The "nigger in the woodpile" in this case happens to be a germ. Plant diseases are caused by germs, and the weather is concerned only In so far as it aids In the growth and spread of these germs. Take bean anthracnose for example. Here we are dealing with a disease carried in the seed to the field and brought above the ground when the first seed leaves* push out. Rain serves to carry the disease down the stalk to the young unfolding leaves, and rain also serves to wash the germs from the leaves to the pods and from plant to plant The transfer of bean anthracnose, aside from that which comes from cultivating beans while wet, and so forth, is wholly a matter of how far the rain can splash. If beans are grown In a greenhouse and irrigated instead of E&^watered, they can he grown with absoutely clean pods—a point which Is SK ''fnentJoiied to show that rain does not came anthracnose, but merely spreads It- Without the germ there would be no disease. And so with other bean diseases. They are seed-borne and greatly Influenced by the rainy weather. Yet without the germ the weather could be whatever it pleased without any danger of its ever making the beans blighted or spotted. It Is this last statement which gives us justification for making predictions for 1818. A farmer will certainly have disease In his fields If he plants diseased stock.- If he can get "diseasefree*' seed—then he win have no trouble. The matter is not so simple as it sounds, for the problem is to get dis- Probably there Is not • boatoel of seed absolutely free from la Michigan. AH the farmer can do Is to try to secure "disease a gotoesi shows heavy infestation from anthracnose, and in fact many are totally free. Anthracnose is in retreat, but if wet weather keeps up this year it can make a stand and Intrench itself as firmly as ever. The present is an ideal time to get rid of the old enemy. It Is wholly an individual problem. If I were going to plant beans this spring I would get seed stock free from weathered beans and as clean and dry as possible, and then I would have it picked to absolute cleanliness. Every bean should be looked at and all with spots or stains should be thrown out The women in the home who huve registered for war service can do no better work than this. Jt is true that there still will be a little blight left in the seed and the crop may show some leaf trouble, but with the ordinary clean sample, such as grown last year, close picking will absolutely remove anthracnose.

By J. A. WALDRON, Extension Agent in Dairying Michigan Agricultural College. Bast Lansing, Mich.—Of problems which confront the dairymen of Michigan none, perhaps, Is causing more general concern at the present time (May and June) than the apparently ever-increasing surplus of milk. Even questions of feed, supply and prices have at least for the time being become secondary to it. This surplus of milk and dairy products, according to those who have looked into the matter, is mostly attributable to a dearth of shipping facilities, which is cutting us off from the European markets, where the shortage of necessary butterfat products is more acute even than is the oversupply of them on this side. Warehouses of the condensaries, and storehouses on the eastern seaboard, are consequently full to overflow. What this means to the producer of milk it doesn't require much Intuition to guess. The experiences of dairymen near Portland, in Ionia county, are typical of what is happening In numerous other parts of the state. This district was. supplying about 19,- 000 pounds of milk dally to a Grand Ledge condensary, but during the last ten days in April (and this state of affairs may still be existing) the condensary bad to turn this milk back. The company would like to have taken the milk and stored it until the finished product began to move, but it lacked the capital necessary to enable it to do this—and many other of the smaller enterprises are finding themselves in the same predicament. Another cause of the surplus is to be found in the effort at adjustment of milk prices that has been made in several of the larger cities within the past winter. As a result of this effort and the growth of a feeling by a large part of. the public against the producers, the consumption of milk in the cities has fallen off markedly—and this despite the fact that even at 12 and 14 cents a quart milk is one of the cheapest and most nutritious foods the consumer can purchase. The new lessons in food conservation and thrift are also having their effect in lessening the call for dairy products. Meanwhile there is no doubt about the acuteness of the demand for butterfat products in France, Belgium, England, Italy and other European countries. For the American dairyman there might be a solution of these current difficulties If the government wMild place orders for future delivery upon which the condensaries and the milk corporations might borrow money—though there Is nothing to indicate at present that this will be done. An organized campaign of advertising of dairy products by the dairy associations, In the manner in which the California growers enlighten consumers about the virtues of their fruits, would also help immensely In Increasing the demand for and the appreciation of dairy products. Among officials of the department of agriculture and the food administration the feeling; is that this critical situation will be relieved by fan, when our launching of ships will begin to exceed the toll taken by the pirate TJ* boats. Under the circumstances, it Is the opinion of the writer that in the long run It will be wiser for dairymen to struggle along as best they can for the present rather than sacrifice any of their herds, for while the present may look dark enough, a future is in prospect which, from the standpoint of profit and general good of the industry. should amply repay producers for the existing hardships.

Bands and state troops participated In a parade. Prominent state men spoke. Camp Custer—Immorality will never flourish in Camp Custer if the courtmartial sentence dismissing one lieutenant, found guilty of grave indiscretion, truthfully reflects the attitude of the authorities towards vice.

Holland—The Holland Rusk Co. and the Michigan Tea Rusk Co., Holland, are among the few baking Arms in the United States to be granted permits by the federal food administration allowing exemption from the use of wheat substitutes.

Detroit—Present indications are that youths reaching 21 years of age will in the future be registered for army services every 3 months. "The registrations will come every 90 days after June 5," said Special Agent Fred Thornton, of the district board. "The government will not wait an entire year for the men who reach 21 years of age, but will accept them four times a year. This will give a steady stream of men for the national army." Detroit—From Lieutenant E. M. Connors, of Detroit, comes the news that the American boys were "very much wrought up the other day over a rumor that came up to us that our president had been assassinated. We thought it was true for a few hours," writes Connors, "and we just made up our minds to go out and give the damn Boches hell 'tout de suite' (Immediately). Fortunately this rumor turned out to be a peculiar brand of German propaganda." Lansing—"If It were not for our affiliations with the A. T. and T. Co. we would now be operated by the federal courts." This startling statement was made by Gen. Manager Geo. M. Welch of the Michigan State Telephone Co. before the state tax commission. According to Mr. Welch the company lost $133,000 last year and its losses this year wHt be much greater. He was opposing an increase In the assessed value of the company's property by the commission from $19,- 600,000 to $22,000,000.

Selim's brother was lately given a federal court sentence In Detroit for aiding in the desertion. Hastings—Unless the 5,000,000 bushels of potatoes are used before July 1, they will be wasted," according to John C. Ketcham, of Hastings, master of the state grange and national grange lecturer, who is interested in pushing a campaign to use more potatoes and milk, the only two foods of which there Is a surplus. Camp Custer—People of Michigan are again warned not to shoot pigeons unless they wish to feel the legal wrath of the war department.

Pontiac—Pontlac lays claim to first rank in the nation for cities between 25,000 and 50,000, in the Third Liberty loan drive. The figures announced in Washington give the honor to Topeka, Kan., with a 202 per cent subscription. While Pontiac, in the 1910 census, is not Included in that class, it now has more than 30,000 population. Its Liberty loan showing was $1,587,150, on x quota of $431,500, or 367 per cent. Lansing—The interstate commerce commission, at Washington, has handed down a decision in favor of the Huron Milling Co., of Harbor Beach, which requires the Pere Marquette Railroad Co. to make an allowance to the milling concern of 75 cents per car for switching interstate shipments between the railroad yard and the complainant's plant at Harbor Beach and of 45 cents per car for switching between loading and unloading points within the plant. Detroit—Attracted by a citizen's cries, Patrolman Myers saw four boys coming down a fire escape in the rear of John V. Sheehan & Company's store, 260 Woodward avenue. Myers called to the boys to halt, but all ran except one, who was arrested. The boy, who is but 13 years old, told the police he and his companions had climbed up the fire escape to the fourth floor of the building, and entered through an open window. Each one stole a pair of roller skates. Detroit—Word has been received from an officer In the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth infantry, now near the firing line in France, that Major Augustus H. Oansser, of Bay City, has been put In command of the first battalion of that regiment, which is made up of national guardsmen from Detroit and a few selective soldiers that originally were sent to Camp Custer.

Ouding was a celery grower living near Cornstock, four miles west of Galesburg.

' Lansing — Sensational disclosures concerning the operation of a well organised ring of firebugs may be expected, according to state officials, as the result of a grand jury investigation. For several months officials of the state fire marshal's department hare b e e s . investigating mysterious Urea in Detroit, Kalamaaoo and other cities throughout Michigan, and K hi believed that insurance has been collect* 4 in many instance* on Ares of inoandiarr origin. Aoooftflag to Infos* m a t t e received by state officials, SOTDC The Intruder D BORGLOM ACCUSED OF AIRPLANE GRAFT CHARGED 1NVE8TIGATOR USED P08ITION TO FURTHER OWN PERSONAL INTERESTS. VIGOROUSLY DENIES CHARGES Characterizes Accusation As Frams»up to Discredit His Disclosures On Failure of Plane Program. Washington—A new and sensational twist to the army aircraft scandal was given on May 10, when the war department turned on its principal accuser, Gutzon Borglum. Through Senator Thomas, Colorado, spokesman for the administration on the military affairs committee, the government caused to be read into the Congregational Record 100,000 words of correspondence and affidavits tending to show that at the very time Borglum was collecting information upon which he charged officers of the government with graft, he was using his position as the president's Investigator to organize an aeroplane company. With him in the proposed formation of the company, the correspondence and affidavits tended to show, was Hugo C. Gibson, described as an attache of the British ministry of war. Officials of the Dodge Motor company, Mishawkee, Indiana, furnished the military Intelligence section of the army with Information and affidavits tending to substantiate the charges. Mr. Borglum characterized the accusation as a "scurrilous frame-up," claiming the charges were sprung at this time in an effort to discredit his disclosures on the failure of the aircraft program. PHONE RATE RAISE ANNULLED Judge Wiest Orders Rehearing Detroit Controversy. of Detroit—Postponement of increased telephone rates for Detroit, and rehearing of the case by the courts, will be the result of the decision of Judge Howard Wiest of the circuit court at Lansing. Judge Wiest set aside the order of the railroad commission for higher and metered rates for Detroit, ordering the commission to revise Its opinion on new principles. The higher telephone rate is annulled, and present rates will prevail until the commission or the courts finally pass on whatever new.rates the commission grants. Its metered rate order, issued February 16, is completely set aside. The court's conclusion that the 4 1-2 per cent dividend paid to the American Telephone & Telegraph company by the Michigan State company was not properly chargeable against the subscribers is considered even a harder blow for the telephone company than the setting aside of the higher rate. EMBARGO ON NON-ESSENTIALS Only Necessities Can Be Exported Under Latest Trade Edict. OLD HUNGARIAN CABINET OUT New Premier Plans to Amend Laws to Give All Citizens Right to Vote. Budapest, via London—A new Hungarian cabinet has been formed with Dr. Alexander Wekerle as premier and minister of the interior. Premier Wekerle has stated that the government Intends to introduce various small amendments to suffrage proposals, based on compromise, that will make acceptance of the proposals possible. The amendments provide that every citizen who would not otherwise have the right to vote should obtain the right if he gives proof of sufficient learning to have passed through four classes of the national school and also is master of the Hungarian language, or if he has passed through six classes of the national school The premier added that workmen will have the right to vote. TROOP CAR FALLS OFF TRESTLE Washington—Control of manufacture of articles for export to European Allies has been instituted by the war industries board and the food administration. New regulations, effective May 15, require permission of the Allied representatives and of the controlling agency of this government before manufacture of such commodities can begin or materials for manufacture purchased. The regulations constitute perhaps the most radical step yet taken, as the trade board explafne, "for the purpose of preventing the useless consumption of materials and labor in making articles for export, which for the present may not be exported, and for the purpose of saving tonnage by prohibiting the exportation of articles which have not been recommended by the government of the country of destination as being necessary for their essential requirements." CUSTER GRAFTER FOUND GUILTY Ralph Windhorst, Convicted By Federal Jury, Sent to Leavenworth. Seven Soldiers Dead, Score Hurt, When Train Wheel Breaks. • f th* trcfeag Columbia, 8.

Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, in United States district court, sentenced Ralph H. Windhorst to serve two years in Leavenworth penitentiary and pay a fine of $10,000. Windhorst was found guilty by a federal jury after an hour's deliberation of grafting in connection with construction of a base hospital at Camp Custer. The investigation into the charges at Camp Custer resulted in the indictment of Windhorst, a former Chicago broker, and Captain Ralph Pilllnger, construction quartermaster, who will be tried shortly by a oourtmartial ALUES PREPARED FOR NEXT ATTACK OF GERMAN ARMY FOCH'S LEQION8, BY SUCCESSFUL LOCAL OPERATIONS, HAVE IMPROVED POSITIONS TO WITHSTAND BLOW.

London—Ever since the costly defeat of Gen. von Arnim's army in its desperate assault on the front southwest of Yprea, over two weeks ago, the beginniing of a new effort by the enemy either here or on some other front has been looked for from day to day. Possibly the Germans have been waiting for some, allied counter blow, which they felt able to withstand, and therefore, hoped would be dealt. If this was the case, they must have been disappointed by the waiting attitude of General Foch, which it is felt, now will compel the enemy to reveal his further purpose with little delay, as time is one of the things he cannot afford to squander, with the American forces now rapidly swelling to formidable numbers. If, as is considered certain, the Germans have employed such time as they have felt impelled to spend in building up the machinery for a new offensive on probably a greater scale than before, it is equally sure that the allied armies under the unified command have not neglected to employ the interval In making every preparation possible to meet the German blow. Every day gives evidence of the alertness of the allied forces. Numerous minor operations have been undertaken to improve their positions on the various fronts and their artillery fire has been directed to equally good purpose in breaking, up the organizing efforts of the enemy. British Bottle Up Ostend. London—British naval forces carried out another brilliant and successful coup on May 9. They dashed down on the Belgian coast and barred the sea way to the important German submarine base at Ostend by sinking the cruiser Vindictive across the entrance to the harbor. The operation was similar to that at Zeebrugge on April 23, when that submarine nest was made ineffective by the sinking of block ships. The Vindictive, which had been th© leader in the Zeebrugge raid, and was badly shot up there, was filled with concrete and sunk between the piers at the outlet of the Ostend harbor. The' enterprise was successful from every point of view. The only loss sustained by the British was a motor boat, while the casualties were light The blocking of the Ostend and Zeebrugge harbors will go down in the history of the war as two of the most daring exploits of the navies. At both submarine bases the Germans have batteries of long range naval guns and keep a keen lookout for attacking parties. The Importance of the blocking operations lies in the fact that, if they hare been as successful as is believed, and the Germans have been deprived ot both of their Belgian bases, they win now be forced to revert, for some time at least, to their own home ports aa starting and returning points for their under-sea raiders. Foe Attacks Beaten Back. London—The Allied defense on the Flanders front to the southwest of Ypres has again been tested by the Germans and has been found adequate. Two divisions of Teuton troops were employed on a relatively abort front and were sent into the fight under cover of a terrific artillery fire. The front chosen for the attack extended from the village of La Clytee to Voormeseele but the center of the assault seems to have been at Verstratet, a hamlet northwest of Kemmel hm. The flanks of the German attacking line were stopped short by fire from French and British artillery posted oil high ground and which waa dole to enfilade the German regiments aa they tried to advance. In the center, however, the Germans made quite a serious dent in the Allied Hue.

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusltanla, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private In the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent to training quarters In Prance, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties.* After a brief period of training Empey's company is sent Into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always In the trenches. Empey goes "over the top" for the first time and has a desperate fight CHAPTER X I I . Bombing, The boys In the section welcomed me lack, but there were many strange faces. Several of our men had gone West In that charge, and were lying ""somewhera in France" with a little wooden cross at their heads. We were In rest billets. The next day our captain asked for volunteers for bombers' school. I gave my name and was accepted. I had joined the Suicide club, and my troubles commenced. Thirtytwo men of the battalion, including myself, were sent to L , where we went through a course In bombing. Here we were Instructed in the uses, methods of throwing and manufacture of various kinds of hand grenades, from the old "Jam tin," now obsolete, to the present Mills bomb, the standard of the British army. It all depends where you are as to what you are called. In France they call you a "bomber" and give you medals, while In neutral countries they call you an anarchist and give you "life." From the very start the Germans were well equipped with effective bombs and trained bomb throwers, but the English army was as little prepared In this Important department of fighting as In many others. At.bombing school an old sergeant of the Grenadier guards, whom I had the good fortune to meet, told me of the discouragements this branch of the service suffered before they could meet the [Germans on an equal footing. (Pacifists and small army people In the TJ. S. please read with care.) The first English expeditionary forces had no bombs at all, but had clicked a lot of casualties from those thrown by the Boches. One bright morning someone higher up had an idea and issued an order detailing two men from each platoon to go to bombing school to ilearn the duties of a bomber and how to manufactore bombs. Noncommissioned officers were generally selected for this course. After about two weeks at school they returned to their units In rest billets or in the fire trench, as the case might be, and got busy teaching their platoons how to make "Jam tins," Previously an order had been issued for all ranks to save empty Jam tins for the manufacture of bombs. A professor of bombing would sit on the fire step in the front trench with the remainder of his section crowding around to see him work. On his left would be A pile of empty and rusty Jam tins, while beside him on the fire step would be a miscellaneous assortment of material used in the manufacture of the "jam tins." , Tommy would stoop down, get an empty "Jam tin," take a handful of [clayey mud from the parapet, and line the Inside of the tin with this sub- Istanca. Then he would reach over, pick up his detonator and explosive, and insert them in the tin, fuse protrading. On the fire step would be a pile of fragments of shell, shrapnel balls, bits of Iron, nails, etc—anything ,th*t was bard enough to send over to Frtts; he would scoop up a handful of itfcls Jank and put It In the bomb. Perhaps one of the platoon would ask him what he did this for, and he would 'explsla that when the bomb exploded these hits wonM fly about and kin or wound any German hit by same; the questioner would immediately putt a button off his tunic and hand it to the hossh maker with, "Wen, Muse ma/ send this over as a souvenir,w or another Tammy would volunteer an ttdTuaty and broken Jeckknife; both be accaptsd and Inserted: would take anandffi the tin. which he - - - the lid of the tin and put It over the top of the bomb, the fuse sticking o u t Then perhaps he would tightly wrap wire around the outside of the tin, and the bomb was ready to send over to Fritz with Tommy's compliments. A piece of wood about four Inches wide had been Issued. This was to be strapped on the left forearm by means of two leather straps and was like the side of a "match box; It was called a "striker." There was a tip like the head of a match on the fuse of the bomb. To Ignite the fuse, you had to rub It on the "striker," Just the same as striking a match. The fuse was timed to five seconds or longer. Some of the fuses Issued in those days would burn down In a second or two, while others would "sizz" for a week before exploding. Back In Blighty the munition workers weren't quite up to snuff, the way they are now. If the fuse took a notion to burn too quickly they generally burled the bomb maker next day. So making Tjombs could not be ( called a "cushy" or safe Job. After making several bombs the professor instructs the platoon in throwing them. He takes a "jam tin" from the fire step, trembling a little, because it Is nervous work, especially when new at it, lights the fuse on his striker. The fuse begins to "slsz" and sputter and a spiral of smoke, like that from a smoldering fag, rises from It. The platoon splits in two" and ducks around the traverse nearest to them. They don't like the looks and sound of the burning fuse. When that fuse begins to smoke and "sizz" you want to say good-by to It as soon as possible, so Tommy with all his might chucks It over the top and crouches against the parapet, waiting for the explosion. Lots of times in bombing the "Jam tin" would be pleked up by the Germans, before It exploded, and thrown back at Tommy with dire results. After a lot of men went West In this manner an order was issued, reading something like this: "To all ranks in the British army: After Igniting the fuse and before throwing the Jam-tin bomb, count slowly onel two I three 1" This in order to give the fuse time enough to burn down, so that the bomb would explode before the Germans could throw it back. Tommy read the order—he reads them all, but after he ignited the fuse and it began to smoke—orders were forgotten, and away she went in record time and back she came to the further discomfort of the thrower. Then another order was Issued to count, "one hundred I two hundred 1 three hundred P* But Tommy dldnt care If the order read to count up to a thousand by quarters, he was going to get rid of that "Jam tin," because from experience he had learned not Ho trust i t When the powers that be realised that they could not change Tommy they decided to change the type of bomb and did so—substituting the "hair brush,- the "cricket ban/* and later the Mills bomb. The standard bomb used in the British army is the "Mills." It is about the shape and size of a large lemon. Although not actually a lemon, Frits insists that It Is; perhaps he Judges it by the havoc caused by Its explosion. The Mills bomb is made of steel, the outside of which hi corrugated into 48 small squares, which, upon the explosion of the bomb, scatter m a wide area, wounding or killing any Ittts who ta unfortunate enough to he hit by one of the flying fragments. Although a very destructive and efficient bemb the HMUUM las the fldence of "th* thrower, ia Htttaot It is a mechanical device, with a lever, fitted into a slot at the top, which extends half way around the circumference and la held in place at the bottom by a fixing pin. In this pin there is a small metal ring, for the purpose of extracting the pin when ready to throw. You do not throw a bomb the wuy a baseball is thrown, because, when in a narrow trench, your hand is- liable to strike against the parados, traverse or parapet, and then down goes the bomb, and, In a couple of seconds or so, up goes Tommy. In throwing, the bomb and lever are grasped in the right hand, the left foot is advanced, knee stiff, about one and a half its length to the front, while J. the right ^eg, knee bent, is carried slightly to the right. The left arm Is extended at an angle of 45 degrees, pointing in the direction the bomb is to be thrown. This position is similar to that of shot putting, only that the right arm is extended downward. Then you hurl the bomb from you with an overhead bowling motion, the same as In cricket, throwing it fairly high in the air, this in order to give the fuse a chance to burn down so that when the -bomb laDds, it immediately explodes and gives the Germans no time to scamper out of Its range or to return i t As the bomb leaves your hand, the lever, by means of a spring, is projected into the air and falls harmlessly to the ground a few feet in front of the bomber. When the lever flies off it releases a strong spring, which forces the firing pin into a percussion cap. This ignites the fuse, which burns down and sets off the detonator, charged with fulminate of mercury, which explodes the main charge of ammonal. The average British soldier is not an expert at throwing; it is a new game to him, therefore the Canadians and Americans, who have played baseball from the kindergarten up, take naturally to bomb throwing and excel in this act. A six-foot English bomber will stand In awed silence when he sees a little flve-foot-nothing Canadian outdistance his throw by several yards. Throwing Hand Grenades. I have read a few war stories of bombing, where baseball pitchers curved their bombs when throwing them, but a pitcher who can do this would make "Christy" Mathewson look like a piker, and is losing valuable time playing In the European War bush league, when he would be able to set the "big league" on fire. We had a cushy time while at this school. In fact, to us it was a regular vacation, and we were very sorry when one morning the adjutant ordered us to report at headquarters for transportation and rations to return to our units up the line. Arriving at our section, the boys once again tendered us the glad mitt, but locked askance at us out of the corners of their eyes. They could not conceive, as they expressed it, how a man could be such a blinking idiot as to Join the Suicide dub. I was beginning to feel sorry that I had become a member of said club, and my life to me appeared doubly precious. Now that I was a sure-enough bomber I was praying for peace and hoping that my services as such would not be required. CHAPTER X I I I . My First Official Bath. Bight behind our rest billet was a large creek about ten feet deep and twenty feet across, and it was a habit of the company to avail themselves of an opportunity to take a swim and at title same time thoroughly wash themselves and their underwear when on their own. We were having t spell of hot weather, and these baths to us were a luxury* The Tommies would splash around in the water and then come out and sit la the sun and have what they termed a "shirt hunt4* At first we tried to drown the "cootiea," hut they alio seemed to —Joy the hath. One Sunday ssorhlng the whole In the) erutk and wo Be to the edge of the creek and ordered! "Come out of i t Get your equipment on, 'drill order,' aud fall In for bath parade. Look lively, my hearties. You have only got fifteen minutes." A howl of indignation from the creek greeted this order, but out we came. Discipline is discipline. We lined up in front of our billet with rtfles und bayonets (why you need rifles and bayonets to take a bath gets me), a full quota of ammunition, aud our tin hats. Each man hud a piece of soup and a towel. After an eight-kilo march along u dusty roud, with an occasional shell whistling overhead, we arrived at a little squat frame building upon the bank of a creek. Nailed over the door of this building was a large blgn which read "Divisional Baths." In a wooden shed in the rear we could hear a wheezy old engine pumping water. The joys of the bath are depleted by Empey in the next Installment. (TO B E CONTINUED.) GENIUS INSPIRED BY WAR John Masefteld, English Poet and Nov* elltt, Sees Feast of Spiritual Conceptions In Future. John Masefleld, the poet and novel* 1st, thinks that the devastating war In Enrope by way of compensation will inspire great intellects such as nourished after the Napoleonic struggle: "We shall have new Darwlns, Spencers and Carlyles with new messages that will reach the whole world. We shall have new Shelleys in poetry. People will feast upon new spiritual conceptions as remote as possible from the great tragedy. They will turn to the romantic and fantastic, the beautiful, Just as they did after the Napoleonic wars." That Is a consummation devoutly to be wished. Certainly In the present dearth of genius it is gratifying to believe that the world has a new Shelley and a new Byron In the cradle, born at the outbreak of the war as they were born at the outbrenk of the French revolution, Perhaps there are other Darwlns and Spencers and Cnrlyles to come. But considering that the "First Principles" was published In 1862, "Sociology" In 1872 and the "Descent of Man" in 1871, did the Crimean war and our own Civil war have any part in Inspiration? Shall we infer that the war between the states stimulated mid-Victorian literature while doing little to inspire American letters?—Exchange. Way to Success. Power is the goal of every worthy ambition and only weakness comes from Imitation or dependence on others, says a writer in Success. Power is self-developed, self-generated. We cannot Increase the strength of our muscles by sitting in a gymnasium and letting another exercise for us. Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean you never will be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world. The man who tries to give his children a start In the world so that they will not have so hard a time as he had is unknowingly bringing disaster upon them. What he calls giving them a start probably will give them a setback in the world. Young people need all the motive power they can get They are naturally leaners, Imitators, copiers, and It is easy for them to develop into echoes or Imitations. They will not walk alone while yon furnish crutches; they will lean npon you Just as long as you will let them.

We moved about 15 miles and we marched the whole distance in full equipment in t h e rain. The men were pretty well toughened so it did not bother them much. T h e roads in dry weather are fine but when it rains the top gets soft and the bottom stays hard and you slip and slide. The town we are in now is a bum Httle hole. It would be like being stationed at Jackson and then being ordered to Stockbridge, only Stockbridge would be absolutely sanitary beside this.
