Dear Mother: We left Camp Custer Saturday at 11 a. rm and arrived in New York last night about 6 o'clock. It was a wonderful trip and I certainly enjoyed it immensely. When we got to Detroit the Red Cro88 ladies met ua at the train with sandwiches, cake and milk, and we certainly appreciated it. Though ws were fed on the train it was all old stuff. After we crossed the riv- • fit into Canada the R. C. ladies passed oat stamped post cards and took the n up to mail after the boys had written words home. We arrived at Buffalo about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. I happened to wake up as we were going over Niagara river and was sorry it was dark as I would have liked to have seen the place. When we woke up in the morning we were in New York and just starting •through the Appalachain mountains. The first town we went through was Dansville, the prettiest town I ever saw. The train ran along the side of the mountain and the town was situatod in the valley. Everything appeared to be spotlessly clean. All day Sunday we traveled in the mountains-and I never dreamed there was such scenery outeLieof the National park. Sergeant Person said it resembled the scenery in Switzerland. The farming country in Canada is great—fields as level as a floor and the crops loefc fine. About 6 o'clock we Btopped at Fort Thomas, where the company and band got out and marched around town half an hour. About the only unpleasant thing about the trip was the sleeping accomodations, as we had to make the best of the day coached About eight.S o'clock Sunday morning we stopped at Elmira and walked around a bit to stretch ourselves and the R. C. ladies served lunch. About 1 p. m. we arrived at Scranton, .Pa. There are lots of coal mines here and the city runs clear up into the mountains.* Tne best scenery oi all came after we left Scranton. All along the line were swell summer resorts where the idie rich come to hang out during the summer. We arrived at New Yo.k about 6 p. m., were ferried over to Long Island and took a train to the camp, about an hours ride. We Lave to sleep in tents here as there are no barracks. There are no drill fields here either so we don't have much to do unless we have a chance to visit New York City before we leave. Long Island is iust like a large park. Some of the richest people in the country have summer homes out here. Airplanes are beginning to bean old story already as the air has been full of them all' morning. They use them to guard the Camp. We have inspection soon after which the band gives a concert. It is pretty soft here and everyone seems to like it. July 17th.—Don't expect to be here much longer than this week from v hat we hear now. Yesterday we drew a lot of new clothing—overcoat, blouse, , wrap leggins, etc. Outside of physical exercise that was all we had to do all da}\ Last night t h e band went to Mineola, a little surburban and played for an entertainment the dance. Haven't been able to get a pass to the city yet, but may be able to do so this p. rn. Last night another fellow and myself went to a little town just outside and went to a musical comedy. We brought ~ back a watermelon that made us sweat to carry it but it certainly was good. There are some men here—about 90*000 and men from every part of the U. S. We will probably go to England from here, bat do not expect to stay here long. Of coarse this is all guess worx. There are some men hereuntil I notify-tou of o change. .Beaded**•*• Co., $#<& Infanlry ^ Clm>Wle^I>>i^»^arKifN. Y.

DISEASE IS SPREAD BY RAIN Sivestloatlona by Experiment Station Disclose That July Rains Bring August Blight • y OR. O. H. COON8, Plant Patholoi gist Michigan Agricultural College. I Bast Lansing, Mich.—The late potato crop in Michigan Is In many sections the important money crop. Growers who remember the disastrous losses of 1912 and 1915 when the crop blighted badly and rotted In the field are asking themselves "What about the blight Ithia year?" Indeed, the big question to be asked about the Michigan tuber crop is not a question of price, but lone of soundness. Will the crop escape the ravages of this most serious Of all plant diseases or will one-fourth to ooe<half of it rot in the ground and In storage? The weather holds the answer to toils question. Late blight of potatoes is a fungous disease and as such is markedly influenced by the weather (conditions. The late blight fungus thrives and spreads in cool wet weather. Hot, dry seasons while not so Ifavorable for growth of the tubers carry freedom from blight. Significant as Is the relation to rainy weather, yet it must hot be] Ithought that the coming of blight :-. a chance affair depeoden! on this heavy rain or that. Plant pathologists^ bf the Michigan experiment station J have found that thea-elation of late blight epidemics to wit weather fs a very definite one and they have learned how to predict whor late blight threatens the crop.

The farmer whose land ia right can get a bumper yield If be will spray. He should do this consistently every year. He can add enough bushels to the acre to more than pay for his labor and material. He has as well insurance against blight. The question as to whether potatoes will blight or not is answered. Watch the weather of July. If Jul* *• C01* and wet like it was In 1915, blight is threatening. If July is a month of drought with rainfall below the average then there will be no blight. We recommend spraying every year to men who are speclallaing In potatoes and who know that their soil la capable of producing a good crop. For the ordinary field while safety comes from full preparedness it seems that our knowledge of weather relations lets us foresee the danger and fore* stalrlt. ALBION BOY HAS BEST PIG Rae E. White Wins First Place Among Members of Boys and Girls' Clubs. Bast Lansing, Mich.—First prise as a raiser of pigs mong the boys' and girls* dubs of _ Michigan has been awarded by the boys and girls' clubs department of the Michigan Agricultural college to Rae B. White, a member of the Pig-Raising club at Albion, in Jacksoa county. The Albion boy, who is seventeen years of age, secured a pig from a local farm and in the course of the year cleared a net profit of $44.95 from the animal. Several hundred other boys In itne state were among the contendersttor pig-raising honors, for under the stimulus of boys' and girls' clubs leaders of M. A. C, a small army of farmers' sons and daughters,har« been Interested in live sto^k projects. All the young people are required to keep exact accounts of all expenses and profits paid out and obtained from their stock.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Grading U becoming more and more customary in the sale and purchase of eggs, and a knowledge of candling Is essential to egg grading. It is only by candling that producers and shippers of eggs can be certain that they are complying with federal. state and other regulations, because by this method one can determine the freshness and quality of eggs. The process, In simple terms, Is to hold an egg*jbefore a shaded light In a dark room, and by noting certain characteristics seen through the semltraneparent shell to determine its «ible and marketable qualities. * i Farmers with only a few eggs to market may improvise a candier by placing a stovepipe over a kerosene lamp, cutting a small hole in the pipe, level with the light. The eggs la held in a slanting position at the opening; It is twisted a few times to the right and left and then from end to end, so that its entire contents may be visible, Care should be taken that the fingers or hand do not conceal small blemishes, which otherwise would be dieclosed by the light. The beginner should study carefully the general formation of an egg, as this detailed knaw^edge is necessary for the application of the standards of various grades and qualities. The yolk ranges In color from light yellow to orange, and Is occasionally olive green. The eggs with olive green yolks are less desfrable because of this oolor, but are considered edible. The yolk is contained in a delicate membrane and on its surface is a small light-colored circular area called the germinal disk, from ^Vhtch the chick develops. The yolk always floats In the white with the chick spot on top. Around the yolk lies a small quantity of thin white and then a heavy layer of thick white.

The distribution of blight In those years was found to Jbe exactly that of the heavy rainfall feireas—this might .readily be expected, put the interesting and Important discovery was made that the rainfall that determined blight was not that of the months of August and September In which the actual blighting and rot- rng occurred, but was that of July. , The explanation of the relationship [of July weather to the blighting that loccurred tn the latter months is found {in the life story of the fungus that s responsible for the wholesale damage. The fungi" causing late blight not live over In the soil, but Is Serried to the fields In the tubers. Probably every lot of seed carries more or lees of this fungous trouble. When the partially blighted seed stock Is planted the fungus grows Into the sprouts and first appears as a blight 8? the first leaves. Only a plant here land there in the fields Is affected.

If the grower watches the weather of this period he has the index which tells him whether blight has made a start or not The treatment for late blight consists In spraying the tops frequently with homemade bordeaux mixture* This spraying is recommended as a matter of Insurance against leaf disorders of potatoes. It is good one season as well as another, declare the pathologists. With fertile soil and good cultivation, spraying will make the plants yield better. This comes about from the fact that the bordeaux hours at 10 cents an hour), $2; veterinarian's fees, none; cost of pasture at one-half cent per day, $1.00; total cost of raising hog, $30.06; receipts from sale of hog, estimated at close of contest, $75 (with seven pigs); net profit, $44.05. Look for Plant Diseases. A squad of five men In the employ of the federal department of agriculture, co-operating with the Michigan Agricultural college, have been sent out in the state to ascertain where losses from plant diseases have been suffered by farmers. Wherever these losses have been general and unusually heavy la the case of wheat, rye, barley and oats an organised effort win be made to secure treatment of seed for next season, so that damage cam bo prevented, or %t least leavened.

Fresh Beef Travels on a Rapid Schedule Fresh beef for domestic markets goes from stockyards to retail stores within a period of about two weeks* Although chilled, this meat is not frozen; hence it cannot be stored for a rise in price. A steer is dressed usually within twenty-four hours after purchase by the packer. The beef is held in a cooler at the packing house, at a temperature a little above freezing, for about three days. It is then loaded into a refrigerator car where a similar temperature is maintained, and is in transit to market on an average of about six days. Upon arrival at the branch distributing house, it is unloaded into a "cooler", and placed on sale. Swift 8c Company requires all beef to be sold during the week of arrival, and the average of sales is within five days. Any delay along the above journey means deterioration in the meat and loss to the packer. Swift & Company, U. S.

Between the white and the shell are two fibrous membranes with an air space between them. When first laid, the contents fill the entire egg, but when the egg cools the contents shrink and these membranes separate, forming an air space. The else of this air space is Important In determining the freshness of the egg. As the egg ages the air space Increases in size. Most bad eggs have enlarged air spaces. A fine, thick white is found In a [ fresh egg, and a weak thin white In a stale egg. As the egg becomes stale the amount of thick white decreases. Several classes of bad eggs are Indicated by discolored whites: The yolk of the fresh egg when twirled before the candle is seen dimly as a dark object moving slowly in the white. The yolk of a stale egg Is seen more plainly than that of the fresh egg. When the yolk Is so weak that the shake of the egg in candling causes It to break It should be graded as unmarketable. In the fresh egg the yolk Is slightly above the ©enter in the large end of the egg. As the egg becomes stale the yolk floats higher and nearer the shell.

SENT OVERSEA Victory Bread Will Be the Only White Bread Baked in Bakeries Throughout U. 8. Washington—Release of hotels and public eating places from the voluntary pledge to use no wheat until the aew harvest was in, is announced by the food administration. Homes opgrated on the same basin are also re« eased. This action follows receipt of a cable from Food Administrator Hoover in conference with Allied countries in England. He has received reQulrenents of Aiyed nations for the coming rear and their estimates of their own wheat yields. Announcement is expected shortly !rom these conferences that the entire Allied world has enough wheat to ibandon its extreme wheat conservation plans and that all will share alike In the wheat that they have pooled. Abandonment of the wheatless period and days does not mean that pure wheat bread again will be used. Victory bread" is to come into universal use and it will be the only white bread baked In the bakeries of the United States, served by its restaurants, and used in its patriotic homes. Victory bread is SO per cent wheat flour and 20 per cent substitutes. About 5,000 hotel men gave the wheatless pledge and it is estimated that they, with the dining cars and clubs and other public eating places, laved from October 1, 1917 to August, 1918, between 17S.000.000 and 200,000,- 500 pounds of wheat and its products 150,000,000 pounds of meats and 50,- 000,000 pounds of sugar. With householders who allied themieivea in the wheatless movement they iccumulated a reserve of 140,0Q0,000 bushels of wheat which was sent to [ Europe. BOARD WANTS SHIPPING DIVIDED Enemy Shipping When Seized Should Be Parceled Among Allies. London.—"We consider that no peace would be satisfactory which did aot enforce surrender of enemy shipping and inflict drastic and exemplary punishment for the enemy's crimes it sea." This is the judgment of a committee, named by the board of trade, which corresponds to the United 3tates department of commerce, to consider British shipping after the war. The committee recommends that enemy shipping, when seized, should be divided among the countries whose shipping has suffered, or be told, so as to exclude enemy or neutral buyers. The committee recommends that the government relinquish its control over merchantmen, when peace :omes, and that efforts be made to [ build 2,000,000 tons of merchant ships innually after the war. 6REAT LAKES STRIKE AVERTED Following Conference With Chairman Hurley Leaders Call Off Strike.

The conversation at a social gathering turned to the subject of logical reasoning, when this anecdote was contributed by Representative Wallace H. Whlte-of Maine: Sltiing™ia the shadow of a vinescreened veranda, where only small spots of moonlight occasionally fell, was Edythe May. Close beside her was John Henry. "John," remarked the fair one, after a sound that might have been either kissing or swatting mosquitoes, "there is something that I want you to explain to me." "All right, dearest," cheerfully assented John Henry. "What is It?" "Why Is it," responded Edythe May, **that you frequently say that you like me all the more because I am so changeable?" "Because, dear one," explained John Henry^ "every time I kiss you it is like kissing another girl."—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. Army Makes Record Meat Purchase. Chicago.—The largest single order for bacon and canned meats In the history of the world—99,560,000 pounds-of bacon and 134,000,000 pounds of canned meat—has Just been placed by the Quartermaster's Department, U. S. A., for the American Army overseas. Louis F. Swift, in commenting on this today, said the order will take the bacon from approximately 1,900,- 000 hogs, and If other work were dropped to produce it, would be equivalent to the total fcacon production of the five largest Chicago packers for nearly five weeks. However, six months will elapse before delivery is to be completed. Mr. Swift said: "At the current prices on the day, Ifist week, wheu the purchase was made, the packers would pay the live stock producers about $80,000,000 for the necessary hogs and over $50,000,000 for about 900,000 cattle required. The cattle will cost us twice as much, and the hogs two and one-half times as much as In the pre-war period. The whole order will be made up before the first of the year, despite the fact that, even before this purchase, one-fourth of the packers' facilities have been devoted to filling military demands. In order to get out the canned goods the packers will find it necessary to employ night and day shifts of canners. Notwithstanding the fact that the products are being rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a single complaint has been received on meats delivered to the armies abroad. The five packers are now killing about 360,000 hogs weekly to keep abreast of martial and domestic needs."

CLOGGED ROADS ARE TAR6ETS FOR AIRPLANES Enemy Using Heavy Artillery Fire to Slow Up Allied Rushes But Meet With No Success—Allied Tanks Play Havoc Among German Machine Gunners. Paris—French advanced guards have reached the noith bank of the Ourcq river, and Allied troops have entered Fere-en-Tardenois, the great German Supply base, which Ilea In the middle line of the Aiane-Marne sector. The announcement of the war office July 28 adds, the villages of Anthenay and,. OJizy-et-Violaine, on the east flank lying to the southwest of Rheims: bave been occupied. The text of the statement reads: "tyorth of the Marne we have continued our onward march In the region of the Ourcq. Notwithstanding resistance of the enemy, who employed every effort to check our passage of the river, we threw advanced elements on the north bank. We have penetrated Into Fere-en-Tardenois. "Northeast of the forest of Ris we reached Champvioay. On the right our trqopa have occupied Anthenay and Olizy-et-Violaine and have approached appreciably the line of the road from Rhelms to Dormans. "In Champagne two enemy attempts in the region south of the mounts ware repulsed." Ul. ':<'•* With the American Army on the Aisfte-Marne Front—The German line Is again north of the Ourcq river, and Fere-en-Tardenois, which has been entered by French troops, is at the mercy of the Allies. Tightening of the flanks holds promise the retreat will be continued. The line along the great- ^ | j r part of the Soissons-Rheims salient ^rhtas been pushed forward in places as .snnch as five miles. Germans are bringing into play their artillery in force to check plunges of Franco-American troops. Americans hare played a brilliant part in the ad- Vance, which included occupation of •""" 8ergy, on the north bank of the river, and a number of small villages. The line follows the Ourcq river to Sergy and to Gouasan-ourt, the latter place lying about six miles north of the Marne. Germans offered bitter resistance, but not to compare -with that which began for retention ot higher ground further south of the river. There they supplemented their defense with artillery fire reaching over American front lines to the supports, the volume of fire at times attaining enormous pro- 1 portions. Not wavering, Americans held their ground and even advanced slightly, while the French on their sectors to the right and left resisted as steadily against vicious efforts of Germans. From behind advancing lines Allied heavy guns kept up a continuous bombardment throughout shelling German positions wherever airmen reached troop concentrations. Heavy artillery has been used by Germans in their rear guard actions, but to .no such extent as that on Sunday and this gives basis for belief von Boehm, German commander, is preparing to make a stand. It is pointed out however, that until the Ardre river is reached all advantages of ground are with the Allies. So it is .generally believed dropping back of his heavy guns is merely an Indication his armies are being withdrawn with all speed from a position which la.Intolerable and which unless relieved might result in disorganisation of what so far has been admittedly conducted as an orderly retreat The Americans began their advance on Sergy early in the day. They had bees driven back a short distance in the night, but when they moved back, forming cover of artillery—a few pieces going forward with the advanced line—they "proceeded almost unchecked to the river, crossed the bridge and occupied the town about mid-forenoon. Germans used gas, but the attacking party long ago had had its baptism of gas fumes and knew how to trtilise masks and to avoid ravines through which fumes filtered. When the town was occupied there was street lighting but not much. Germans reirssajag t o higher ground. ; TJatfi^feaneay wounds received by m--- -amerlcan soldiers have not been sersotts as a role, on account of failure of Ctermans to use artillery.

Evec sudden retirement has not relieved the German from constant harrying. In addition to hashing by the cavalry and pounding by the tank* lives of the German rear guards «are being made hazardous by Allied troops. Meanwhile Allied aviator* daringly fly a few hundred feet ovei head, bombarding and machine-gun ning German batteries and columns on the march. Tank crews have been heroes in this chaae and ever since commencement of the German retreat they have done remarkable work. After break ing up the enemy front line and pre paring the way for an advance of In fantry tanks throughout have continued to exploit the success gained. Tanks have even attacked enemy artillery batteries and killed all the gunners, thus permitting infantry tc capture many of these weapons, There Is not a tank on the section which has taken part in the fighting that has not from 15 to 20 machine guns to its credit. Most of the pri soners declare losses caused by tanks have been terrible. The line where the German with drawal has attained Its greatest depth is northeast of Chateau Thierry. The depth from that point gradually becomes narrower until it is quite small on nearing the eastern pivot m the front southwest of Rheims. Both here and around Soissons, the other pivot, the ground is admirably suited for defense. In the vicinity of these two points Germans have concentrated most of their artillery and large forces of infantry, knowing if a breach be made at either place by the Allies a great majority of the German troops occupying the remainder of the pocket must be sacrificed. On banks of the Marne south of the center of the salient not a single live German remains. Their sudden retreat, here was brought about by constant pressure of the French, Americans and British. Allied troops have kept constantly on the heels of the enemy and patrols have advanced considerably further than the line indicated. The method of retirement adopted by the enemy consists of first retiring one company from every two companies, then two sections from the remaining, company. Then the last section withdraws, leaving only a few men with machine guns to cover the retreat These men often are sacriflced, but sometimes they manage to rejoin their comrades and the maneuver is repeated. %< NORTH OF RIVER MARNE WORLD'S WORST BATTLE IN HISTORY 18 BEING FOUGHT .***'Vl ' & ' • & : . & • * 1 A stews night and -.fr With the French Army—With 70 German divisions officially identified in the fighting soae, the battle is the biggest in all history.

Detroit—Tremendous labor in behalf of the welfare of the American forces on Europeon battlefields by Michigan's women will be shown in the first general report of the work of the Michigan Red Croas. This report, covering seven months, from December 1, 1917, to June 31, 1918, will be made by Mrs. Delphine Dodge Ash« baugh of Detroit, state director of wo* men's work, at the northwestern Michigan war conference in Bay City, July 31 and August 1, when war workers of every degree and nature of activity will gather to further co-ordinate for the cause. Properly, the report will not cover all Michigan work, but only that of the Red Cross chapters of the lower peninsula. The upper peninsula chapters, because of railroad facilities, ship to Chicago, while Detroit is headquarters for the state below the straits. The magnificent total of 7,555,332 pieces of knit and sewed articles were made by the lower peninsula women in the seven months. When it 1B considered that there are hardly more than 3,000,000 people in Michigan, that a considerable number of these are males and babies, and that by no means a majority of the women of the state are in the Red Cross, the magnitude of the tasks performed by the chapter members will be appreciated. Surgical dressings naturally led. There were made 6,645,623 such dressings. Of hospital garments, 479,453 were sewed in Red Cross work rooms, while knit goods numbered 430,256 pieces and pairs. In the five months January 1 to May 1, Michigan women knit more than 77,000 sweaters, more than 96,000 pairs of socks and more than 61,000 cold weather trench helmets. The rest consisted of mufflers, wristlets, mittens and comfort kits. COAL SURPLUS 8,912,500 TONS WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE AGREE ON INCOME AND EXCESS PROFITS; TURN TO LUXURIES Chairman -K Itch In is Hopeful thi Measure Will Be Ready to Report When Sessions Resumed August 19. Washington.—Having disposed ot the Income tax and the tax on excess profits, the ways and means committee Monday will turn its attention to the problem of what luxuries shall } be taxed and how much articles under this classification shall be called upon to contribute to the, nation's revenues. The committee has made such satisfactory progress in agreeing on the new $8,000,000,000 bill that Chairman Kitchln is hopeful the measure will be ready to report to the house when its sessions are resumed August 19. Vote on the bill, however, may not come until September 1, as the agreement under which the recess was taken stipulated that the water power bill should have the right of way and | be disposed of before the revenue bill is taken up. Tax rates already agreed to by the committee are as follows: 1—Individual Income tax, normal rate fixed at 10 per cent, but the scale of supertaxes not yet worked out. 2—Corporation Income tax rate fixed at 18 per cent on the net income with provision that income dividend among shareholders shall be taxed only 12 per cent. 3—Inheritance taxes raised 50 per cent. 4—Excess profits fixed at 30 pei cent of the net item, less exemptions up to 10 per cent, 50 per cent on the income between 10 and 25 per cent and 8 per cent on the income over 25 per cent. The rat«B provide a flat exemption of $2,000 and 10 per cent. Estimated yield from these sources totals $4,340,000,000, leaving practically $3,500,000,000 to be raised by other taxes. The treasury department has estimated the tax to be raised on liquors, tobacco, jewelry, admissions, club memberships and items of that sort will produce about $913,000,000 for the current fiscal year. If these taxes should be arbitrarily doubled, as suggested by committee, the yield would be $1,826,000,000. Allowing for a slight decrease the committee feels sure on relying on at least $1,800,000,000 from these sources, of which $1,000,000,000 is expected to be derived from taxes on liquors of all kinds. Weekly Coal Requirement Exceeded Only Three Times in Year. Washington.—Though coal production of the United States is still hugging the high point production to date, for the coal year, is 8,912,500 ton* beyond estimated requirements, as figured by the fuel administration. Production tor the week ending July 20, in the bituminous fields was 12,950,000 tons. The high week was that ending July 13, with 13,274,000 net tons. For the last six weeks, excluding week of July 4, when there were but five working days, production has exceeded 12,000,000 tons a week, which up to this year has been a record in these fields. Average weekly requirements as figured by the fuel administration are 12,211,500 net tons. This weekly requirement has been exceeded only three weeks during the current year, beginning April 1. Further orders limiting fuel sup. piles to non-essential industries, may be expected from the fuel administration shortly. STRINGENT OIL SAVING URGED Russian Oil Fields Are Now in Enemy Hands Hence Allies Look to America For Their Supply. NEW DRAFT BILL AGES 20 TO 36 800,000 Men Taken From Class One During June and July. Washington—Inroads on class one of the selective draft registrants in the last two -weeks by the navy, marine corps, shipbuilding and other industries were so great that army officer* predicted that men ot class two will be called to the colors In September unless ages are raised by congress. Following conferences among army chiefs, it was disclosed that President Wilton and Secretary Baker nave approved a bill .soon to be placed before congress calling for the advance of draft ages. The new limits will be from 10 years to at least 46 years. If the draft is to be used to bolster up die labor supply of munitions plants, the Increase will be to 40.

Orders have BOOB sent to draft Washington.—Complete governmen. tal supervision and control of the oil Industry from the well to the con. sumer Is fore-shadowed by Mark L. Requa, head of the oil division of the Fuel administration in a statement issued July 28. American production is estimated by C. W. Robinson, head of the conservation division, at 325,000,000 barrels of crude oil. The Allies' requirements are between 05,000,000 and 70,000,000 barrels of gasoline, but increasing each day with increased shipments to , the front of battle planes, scout boats and motor trucks, whose motive power is gasoline, and launching of additional war and carrier ships burning heavy crude oil. The great Mexican output, 42,000,- 000 barrels a year, is now not avail* able as a dependable supply, and Russian fields are in the possession of the Central powers. The Allies look to America for | their oil and gas. There is plenty of gas now, but the increased demand is so great that any day may see the surplus reduced to a deficit.

Jesus Christ Growing (Lake 2:42- 62), While Christ was indeed divine, bis deity did not interfere with bis development as a human being. The processes of bis physical, mental, and spiritual growth were the same as those of any human being;. L Jesus tarrying behind at Jerusalem (w. 42, 43). At the age of twelve a Jewish child took his place as a worshipper in the temple. He was considered a "child of the law." Being conscious of bis mission, when Joseph and his mother were returning from attendance at the Passover, he tarried behind to en* ter the temple and inquired into the meaning of the ordinances of God's House. He had an alert, eager mind, which inquired after the truth, especially the truth concerning his Father's House. His heart yearned after his Father. 2. Jesus found in the temple (w. 44-50). When Joseph and Jesus'mother had gone some distance on their return journey they perceived that Jesus was missing, and sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. Not finding him there, they turned back to Jerusalem where they found him in the temple. (1) He was "sitting" (v. 46) show* Ing that he was no passing visitor or Sightseer. He was perfectly at home in his Father's House. (2) He was "hearing" the teachers of God's Word (v. 46}. This shows he was eager to learn God's will. (8) He asked questions (v. 46). The growing mind is inquisitive. It more than receives that which is taught; it inquires after. (4) He answered questions (v. 42). His answers showed great wisdom, It was not an exhibition of his divine wisdom, but an expression of the workings of a perfect human mind suffused by the Holy Spirit. 3. Mary's complaint (vv. 48-50). She remonstrates with him for his behavior. He made no apology, show* ing that he was more than the son of Mary; God was bis Father. 4. Jesus obedient (v. 61). Though he was conscious of his divine being and mission, he lived a Ufa of filial obedience. 5. Jesus' development (v. 52). It was (1) Mental—"Increased in wisdom." (2) Physical—"Stature.** (8) Spiritual—"Favor with God and man. n IT. Growth In Grace (II Peter 1:8- 11). This is not growth into grace, but growth in i t We get into grace by the new birth. This new nature which has its source in God must be developed in order that our lives be fruitful for God (v. 8), that they bear testimony to the cleansing.power of Christ's blood (v. 9), and that we may -have assurance of salvation (v. 10). The following are lines of growth: 1. "Virtue** (v. 5). Virtue here means energy or courage. This is not "added** as in Qie Authorised Version, but as in the Revised Version which reads: "In your faith supply virtue.** It means increase by growth, not by external junction.

By An American Arthur Guy Empey S o l d i e r W h o W e n t Machine Gunner, Serving in France Copyright ltt7,lr * EMPEY AND HIS COMRADES REPULSE A FIERCE GAS ATTACK MADE BY THE GERMANS. 8ynopsls*~-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 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. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men tinder hot fire. With pick and shovel Emper has experience as a trench digger in No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back in rest billets Empey writes and stages 0 successful play. Once more in the front trenches, Empey goes "over the top" in a successful but costly attack on the German lines. CHAPTER XX111—Continued. —19— A gas helmet is made of cloth, treated with chemicals. There are two windows, or glass eyes, in it, through which you can see. Inside there is a rubberdry, and a heavy pressure on the lungs warned me that my helmet was leaking. Turning by gun over to No. 2, I changed helmets. The trench started to wind like a snake, and sandbags appeared to be covered tube, which goes In the mouth, floating in the air. The noise was hor- You breath© through your nose; the :gas, passing through the cloth helmet, Is neutralized by the action of the chemicals. The foul air is exhaled through the tube In the mouth, this tube being so constructed that It prevents the inhaling of the outside air or gas. One helmet Is good for five hours of the strongest gas. Each Tommy carries two of them slung around his shoulder in a waterproof canvas bag. Be must wear this bag at all times, «ven while sleeping. To change a defective helmet/you take out the new one, hold your breath, pull the old one off, placing the new one over your toead, tucking In the loose ends under the collar of your tunic. For a minute, pandemonium reigned tn our trench—Tommies adjusting their helmets, bombers running here and there, and men turning out of the •dugouts with fixed bayonets, to man the fire step. Re-enforceraents were pouring out of the communication trenches. Our gun's crew were busy mounting the machine gun on the parapet and bringlug up extra ammunition from the dugout. German gas is heavier than air and soon tills the trenches and dugouts, where It has been known to lurk for two or three days, until the air is purlfled by means of large chemical sprayers. We had to work quickly, as Fritz generally follows the gas with an Infantry attack. A company man on our right wasi too slow in getting on his helmet; he sank to the ground, clutching at his •throat, and after a few spasmodic twiatings went West (died). It was horrible to see blm die, but we were .powerless to help htm. In the corner <Jf a traverse, a little, muddy cur dog, one of the company's pets, was lying dead, with his paws over his nose. It's the animals that suffer the most —the horses, mules, cattle, dogs, cats and rats—they having no helmets to «ave them. Tommy does not sympathize with rats in a gas attack. At times gas has been known to travel, with dire results, fifteen miles behind the lines. A gas, or smoke helmet, as It Is called, at the best i s a vile-smelling thing, and it is not long before one gets a violent headache from wearing i t Our eighteen-poundere were bursting in No Man's Land, in an effort, by the artillery, to disperse the gas clouds. The fire step was lined with crouching men, bayonets fixed, and bombs near at hand to repel the expected attack. Our artillery had put a barrage of curtain fire on the German lines, to try •and break up their attack and keep back re-enforcements, I trained my machine gun on their trench and its bullets were raking the parapet Then over they came, bayonets glistening. In their respirators, which have a large snout In front, they looked like some horrible nightmare. All along our trench, rifles and machine guns spoke, our shrapnel was bunting over their heads. They went down in heaps, but new ones took the places of the fallen. Nothing could atop that mad rush. The Qeroan* seeched our barbed wire, which had previously been demolished by their rible; I sank onto the fire step, needles seemed to be pricking my flesh, then blackness. I was awakened by one of my mates removing my smoke helmet. How delicious that cool, fresh air felt in my lungs. A strong wind had arisen and dispersed the gas. They told me that I had been "out" for three hours; fhey thought I was dead. The attack had been repulsed after a hard fight. Twice the Germans had gained a foothold In our trench, but had been driven out by counter-attacks. The trench was filled with their dead and ours. Through a periscope I counted eighteen dead Germans in our wire; they were a ghastly eight in their horrible-looking respirators. I examined my first smoke helmet A bullet had gone through it on the left side, Just grazing my ear. The gas had penetrated through the hole made in the cloth. Out of our crew of six we lost two killed and two wounded. That night we buried all of the dead, excepting those in No Man's Land. In death there is not much distinction; friend and foe are treated alike. After the wind had dispersed the gas the R. A. M.

Two days after the gas attack I was sent to division headquarters, in answer to an order requesting that captains of units should detail a man whom, they thought capable of passing an examination for the divisional intelligence department Before, leaving for this assignment I went along the front-line trench saying good-by to my mates andTlordlng It over them, telling them that I had clicked a cushy job behind the lines, and -how sorry I felt that they had to stay in the front line and argue out the war with Frits. They were envious hut still good-natured, antfus I left the trench to go to the rear they shouted, after me: "Good luck, Tana, old DOT; doflt forget to send up a few fags to your old mates."

Two of the men were sent to large towns in the rear of the lines with an easy Job. When it came our turn the officer told us we were good men and had passed a very creditable examination. My tin hat began to get too small for me, and I noted that the other man, Atwell by name, was sticking his chest out more than usual. The officer continued: "I think I can use you two men to great advantage in the front line. Here are your orders and instructions, also the pass which gives you full authority as special M. P. detailed on intelligence work. Report at the front line according to your instructions. It Is risky work and I wish you both the best of luck." My heart dropped to zero and Atwejl's face was a study. We saluted and left. That wishing us the "best of luck* sounded very ominous In our ears; if he had said ifl wish you both a swift and painless death" it would have been more to the point. When we had read our instructions we knew we were in for it good and plenty. What Atwell said is not fit for publication, but I strongly seconded his opinion of the war, army and divisional headquarters in general. After a bit our spirits rose. We were full-fledged spy-catchers, because our Instructions and orders, said so. We immediately reported- to the nearest French estaminet and had several glasses of muddy water, which they called beer. After drinking our beer we left the estaminet and hailed an empty ambulance. After showing the driver our passes we got 1¾ The driver was going to the part of the line where we had to report. How the wounded ever survived a ride in that ambulance was inexplicable to me. It was worse than riding on a gun carriage over a rock road. The driver of the ambulance was a corporal of the R. A. M. C, and he had the "wind up," that is, he had an aversion to being under fire. I was riding on the seat with him while Atwell was sitting tn the ambulance, with his legs hanging out of they back. As we passed through a shell-destroyed village a mounted military policeman stopped us and informed the driver to be very careful when we got out on the open road, as it was very dangerous, because the Germans lately had acquired the habit of shelling it. The corporal asked the trooper if there was any other way around, and was informed that there was not. Upon this he got very nervous and wanted to turn back, but we Insisted that he pro- DESTINED TO BECOME DESERT Great French Colonial Territory In North Africa 8eems to Hold Out . Little Promise. Wadal was the last point of colonial expansion of the French before the European struggle drew their energies and attention homeward. The great African territory was added to the French Kongo only a short time before the war broke out Very few white people have actually visited Wadai, but tales of the region are numerous both In upper Egypt and In Tripoli. Occasionally some of the inhabitants of the little-known region can be seen in the bazaars of Khartum or Algiers, Wadal lies at the head of caravan routes that cross the desert both from the Mediterranean and the Nile. It bears a bad reputation, even for North Africa. It Is known as one of the last strongholds and sources of supply of the slave trade. Its people are divided into conquerors end conquered—the former belonging to a powerful native tribe that holds the Mohammedan faith and the latter Including all manner of very primitive savages. Up ceed and explained to htm that he would get into serloua trouble with his commanding officer if he returned without orders; we wanted to ride, not walk. From his convention we ieurned that he had recently come from England with a draft and had never been under fire, hence hla nervousness. We convinced him that there was not much danger, and he appeared greatly relieved. When we at last turned into the open road we were not so confident. On each side there had been a line of trees, but now, all that was left of them were torn and battered stumps. The fields on each side of the road were dotted with recent shell holes, and we passed several in the road itself. We had gone about half a mile when a shell came whistling through the air and burst in a field about three hundred yards to our right. Another soon followed this one and burst on the edge of the road about four hundred yards in front of us. I told the driver to throw In his speed clutch, as we must be in sight of the Germans. I knew the signs; that battery was ranging for, us, and the quicker we got out of its zone of fire the better. The driver was trembling like a leaf, and every minute I expected him to pile us up in the ditch. I preferred the German fire. In the back Atwell was holding onto the straps for dear life, and was singing at the top of his voice: We beat you at the Marne, We beat you at the Alane, We gave you hell at Neuve Chapelle, And here we are again. Just then we hit a small shell hole and nearly capsized. Cpot a loud yell from the rear I looked behind, and there was Atwell sitting In the middle of the road, shaking his fist at us. His equipment, which he had taken oft upon getting Into the ambulance, was strung out on the ground, and his rifle was tn the ditch. Empey 1« called duty as a member squad.

Years ago, during a winter's visit In London, I used to watch the persons who regularly fed the birds In Hylle park. I noticed that most of them were people of apparently humble circumstances, a few pretty close to underfeeding themselves. It was delightful to see how much pleasure they all took in keeping these birds from hunger. Two that I saw each day for a week or .so, evidently husband and wife, I ventured to speak to. Eagerly they talked about the birds as they might have talked about children, noting and relishing individual characteristics. "We have become so fond of them," said the wife. "They recognize us now, many of them, and a few come to us quite fearlessly. We should feel quite uncomfortable if we should miss a day. They are like members of the family that have to be cared for."—Exchange, stream.

A fine, firm, fertile early prepared seedbed insures the largest crop of best quality wheat. When wheat follows oats, barley or other early harvested crop, plow the land from 4 to 6 inches deep as soon as the preceding crop is removed and work down each half day's plowing before leaving the field. Harrow or disk the field after every rain or as often as crust forms, until seeding time to kill weeds and to retain the soil moisture. Ideal seedbed preparation consists in disking, plowing, again disking and harrowing. -Up-to-date farmers are following -this system especially when there is considerable organic matter to he plowed under. Always cut up coarse material before turning it In the furrow, otherwise it interrupts the movement of moisture upward, making an air space which allows drying out. By plowing early and maintaining a soil mulch, moisture U retained which favors quick germination. From one to several weeks will be gained in the sprouting and growth by a thorough soil preparation.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Aug-, tf, lc)l: No. 38 ST. MARY'S PICNIC This Annual Event A success The annual picnic of St. Mary's Pariah was held at the usual place last Tuesday. Thia vicinity never endured greater heat than was with UB that day and as a result the attendance was not quite up to the usual mark. The dinner, for which the -ladies ot the church are so justly celebrated was eveu better than usual. Several of the speaksra- and singers disappointed the crowd by their nonarrival but perhaps they were excusable lor not venturing out in the extreme heat. The B Sharp sextette sang two selections in their usual fine manner."!"V./-. R. D. Roche actad as toastmaster firBt introducing Rev. Fr, Sicss of the Qreat Lakes Training Station who described the great work of the Knights <*f Columbus in the war. Rev. Wittliff of Brighton gave a patriotic address in his usual impressive manner. Taking into consideration the great heat the speahers and singers are worthy of high praise for their efforts on behalf of the people congregated that intensely hot day. The unbeaten Howell team came over to add one1 more scalp to their long Hit of victorys. Something unlooked for happened for happened when they •met Pinckney on the diamond, however. In a long drawn out contest the best they could do,was to secure a tie—4 and 4—and not satisfied with closeness of the score they got into an argument with the umpire and refused to finish the game.

Lansing, Mich.--A carload rjf smutted wheat owned by the King Seed Co. of Battle Creek has been ordered held by the Calhoun county food administration authorities while an investigation of the methods of the concern is made by administration administration agents. The carload of wheat was placed under seal by Fred Bernard, Calhoun County food administrator who ^found it being unloaded into the cleaners and Beeders of the concern. Representatives of M. A. C. who were called in by Mr. Bernard to make an examination found the grain very badly smutted. Mr. Bernard has also charged that the company has made contracts for seed wheat with Michigan farmers at $4.25 a bushel on the strength of claims that the wheat is superior to all other varieties in the state and that from one bushel to five pecks is enough to seed an acre. The investigation against the King Co. is announced as part of a general plan to prevent unscrupulous dealers from taking advantage of present conditions to exploit Michigan farmers.

BUY ON QUANTITY BASIS Alto Obtain Standardized Mixture of Pure Grains, and a Wide Market in Southern Michigan. From Office of Publications, Michigan Agricultural College. Bast Lansing, Mich.—Manager C. H. Beebe of the Tecumseh Co-operative association, sat Ln his office and watched the feed prices soar—but not for long. The "slttin* " habit la not held In very high repute in Lenawee county, of which Tecumseh is a leading couamunal adornment. Finally, when the aforementioned prices had soared to an altitude record that would have caused the late unlamented Baron Richtofen to effervesce at the mouth, the manager snorted and also rose. His snort was such a one as might have been emitted by his agricultural forebears when upon beholding the Redcoats marching up Lexington way in 1776, they dropped their hoes to grub their muskets, It should be explained that Tecumseh 1c ln a dairy district—and the new feed prices, quite naturally, brought consternation even to some of the most efficient of the "milk producers. "This will never do,'- the manager was heard to remark—so forthwith was born the idea which In Tecumseh, at least, is tending to make the dairy feed problem somewhat less menacing. "Let's make up our own feed," the manager suggested or maybe it was the, president or the secretary of the association, but the essential fact is that the suggestion was made, and acted apon. It might be illuminating here to Inaert a word about the Tecumseh Cooperative association, of which Mr. Beebe Is the manager. As its name discloses, It Is a co-operative body with which about 400 Lenawee county farmers are affiliated, and from which they derive such manifold benefits as accrue to those who have discovered the secret of co-operative buying and selling. Of course when such an organization says "Let's make up our own feed," or "saw our own wood," It is usually done. But let Manager Beebe tell about it: "OUT dairymen," said the manager, "have of late been confronted by two problems. In the first place, the prices of dairy feeds have risen to a point where they must be looked upon with the awe due those who perch in high places. Secondly, our dairymen have never been absolutely sure even after they have paid these luxurious prices that they have secured a standard free from chaff and "fillers." "It was only natural that we should try our hand at mixing and marketing a feed of our own, and that is what we are doing. In order to make sure that we weren't going wrong, we sent a committee to the college, and this committee, working with the dairy department of the college, decided upon a standard feed mixture averaging from 21 to 22 per cent protein—Including such ingredients as bran, middlings, g r o w ^ oais, gluten, cottonseed meal, oil meal, hominy and 1 per cent salt. being distributed at cost to our members and to other co-operative associations m southern Michigan, ln place of a hi«h-priced product of uncertain quality .>ur dairymen are now being provided with a standard product at a moderate price." This price, according to quotations from Tecumseh, is $55.50 a ton In bulk, with a charge of $5 more if sacked. Commercial feeds of the same quality are selling from $05 to $70 a ton, which means that the Tecumseh farmer* stand well in the way of suving from 10 to 20 per cent of their feed costs through [heir new venture. The feed is intended to be used with such roughages as corn stover and mixed hay and silage; or if trie dairyman hus clover hay, alfalfa and silager ground corn and oats could be mixed wirh the dairy feed at the rate of twothirds dairy feed to one-third ground outs and corn. Without silage, a little additional meal can be used. The feed itself, of course, is intended by the association to be fed in the same proportions as such dairy feeds are always fed. Meanwhile, wiille feed prices are still clinging to the high spots with the tenacity of a mountain goat, the dairymen of Tecumseh are not worrying so much us many of their neighbors. REPORT "NO-TOP" TUBERS Unfavorable Soil Conditions Produce "Freak" Potatoes. East Lansing, Mich.—Reports of the production of "freak" potatoes have come to the Michigan Agricultural College at various times within the past few weeks from several parts of the state. These 'breaks" produce little potatoes at the eyes Instead of sprouts. "There is some reason for believing that unfavorable soil conditions during the time tubers are formed are reflected ln the crop produced by such potatoes," declares Dr. G. H. Coons, plant pathologist at M. A. C. "In the spring of 1917 many tubers grown during the drought of 1916 produced a few little tubers from the seed piece, but no sprouts at all. Whole fields showed this phenomenon. No one has as yet determined the underlying cause of this behavior by the potato, but the lesson is clear—the seed stock should come from fields and hills that are above suspicion." Quite a lot of "mosaic" Is also being reported from some sections. The most effective remedy for this disease and for others, according to the college, is to set aside a quarter acre or so for the production of seed potatoes and to pull and remove from this plot during the growing season all plants that show signs of infection or other troubles. Potatoes from such a plot, provided they are of the right type and quality, are likely to make good seed because of their freedom from disease. CONTROL OF LETTUCE ROT Find Formaldehyde Checks Blight of Heads at Bay Port. East Lansing, Mich.—A treatment for soft rot of lettuce, a disease which annually is the cause of much loss to Michigan's truck, growers, has been hit upon by Ezra M. Levin of the experiment station of the college. "This soft rot of lettuce, which is ascribed to an organism called Bacterium virldillvtdum, starts first at the tips of the leaves," declares Mr. Levin. "These areas shrivel and curl and are marked off from the healthy WILL TRAIN FARMERETTES tissue by a definite line. With the "We are having these mixed for us I inner leaves the rot progresses very in Chicago from the pure grain. Upon deeply into the head, turning their being received by us here, this feed is [ tender leaves into a gluey slime. Eventually the whole head rots, making the growing of head lettuce ln some seasons very precarious. Losses of 50 per cent in the field are not uncommon. "Remarkable control of the disease can be obtained "by spraying diseased plants with formaldehyde, one pint to 30 gallons of water. In tests in 1916 at Bay Port the disease was checked by the treatment in fields which were about to be given up as a total loss. In 1917 spraying with formaldehyde also completely checked the troubla In an adjoining field, the owner, seeing the success of t h e formaldehyde treatment, sprayed a portion of his field. In the sprayed portion the disease was checked, while ln the onsprayed field the crop showed a high percentage of rotting." II. A. C. Plans Courses in Dairying and Poultry for Young Women. East Lansing, Mich.—College courses to agriculture, which by a sort of unwritten law have in the past been always more or less closed to the feminine sex, will be opened to women this fall by M. A. C. The first intimation of the proposed innovation was afforded a lew days ago ln the recently issued college catalogue, ln which this statement ts found: "Young women enrolling in the de- .pertment of home economics will be permitted, if they so desire, to substitute poultry and dairying for certain of What has heretofore been required By HIRAM MOE GREENS. Editor Woman's World. O • A ° 7 Editor Woman's World. £ 0 • •O*O«O*O«O«Q«O«O«O«O«O*O*C Dear Nephews and Nieces: Even before you open this letter I know that you will know what it is about. Some one of .you—Lemuel Jones I guess It was—said the last time 1 was out to your house for Sunday dinner, that I hardly ever came around and almost never wrote, unless It was about money matters. Well, I guess that Lem is about right, but as the fellow said when some one offered him sympathy because he lost a couple of fingers in a corn shredder, "You can't feel any worse about It thaji I do." I'm sorry that this unfortunate affair that we are in Is taking so much money. But I'm glad right down to the very bottom of my heart that we can raise the money to see the whole thing through. I know you will raise It—but we'll come to that later. The other day I was in New York and I went out to see one of those big transports for soldiers. There were little tugs all around her waiting to get her headed straight Into the stream and further down, near the Statue of Liberty some battleships "were waiting to convoy the transport. It was an Interesting sight. It meant so much. And I couldn't keep my Adam's apple in its place, and there was a kind of a mist before my eyes—until through the tears I was trying to hold back, I saw Eb Root's boy, George, looking over the rail on the top deck. The last time I had seen him he was cultivating corn on that ten acre piece down on the state road next to Asa Hafford's, Somehow when I saw that boy up there I didn't want to cry. My blood got warm Instead of cold and every muscle in my body was as taut as a violin string. My heart Just swelled in jay body. In all my life I never felt so jroud and so much like being able to Ight. as I did then. And I said to myself. "There goes Tb Root's boy, George. He Is only one »oy in a million and more that are ver there now. But there are others .Ike him, and the folks back home they •'ill stand back of him. and all, everyhlng. that he and his comrades, and 'he ships and the men and the flag that 'ies over them stood for." I could not feel and I do not feel «ow, that the folks back home would raste anything that might help to •ring George Root back. I know Just is well as I know my own name that ieorge Root and the boys like him rould not offer themselves as the sureme sacrifice to our cause, and those or whom they were fighting be small nd niggardly about doing their part. During this coming year it will be necessary for ns to spend twenty-four dlllon dollars. It Is a tremendous sum. iut Is not too much to pay for a world .t peace, with us all as free as God ntended we should be. But remember that our total annual ncome, all of us put together, Is only ibout fifty billion dollars, and so It is going to take about half of all our Income this next year. That means that Jrou must stop all waste. Our waste mns Into the millions. Yon T J M . stop that waste and then you must put this laving with other money you have in liberty Bonds. It is the surest, safest nvestment yon can make. You have ny personal guarantee and yon know < have never failed on anything I have •ver attempted, and though I hardly need to add It—I never will fail. Adjust your affairs to meet these new conditions. I know I can depend upon you. Gorge Root and every boy In a TJ. S. uniform knows that you will do your part, and so do the mother's ions of Britain, France, Belgium and Italy—our allies—know you will do your part. Be brave-hearted about it. It is ft big thing, a tremendous thing, but It has been the big things, the great sacrifices that have made us a great people and have builded our great na- , tion that we hope may be greater still In the eyes of the world and greater •till to our God ln his heaven.

Mix as the usual meat loaf and bake about as long. Serve with tomato sauce. Cook a pint of tomatoes with half an onion, four cloves, a piece of bay leaf, sprig of parsley and a blade of mace. When well cooked, strain. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter ln a saucepan, add a slice of onion, brown and add two tablespoonfuls of flour. When smooth add the tomato; season with salt and pepper and serve. Pea Timbales.—Cook a pint of peas until tender, the^n mash through a colander and beat the pulp to a paste. To this add two well-beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of melted fat, onion Juice; pepper and salt to season. When well blended, place in buttered molds and bake until done. Peas on Toast—Prepare a rich, white sauce, stir in a few cooked peas, season well and serve on buttered toast. This is a simple and easy dish to prepare, but most wholesome and nutritious. Asparagus prepared in the same way with a hard-cooked egg or two is a well-relished dish and very sustaining. Scalloped Cheese.—Cheese in its different forms is an excellent substitute for meat. Cottage cheese, which may be made in the home, is a most versatile one to use in many ways. Take any good flavored cheese, cut in small pieces and use ln layers in a baking dish with small cubes of bread; repeat until the dish Is full. Beat two eggs, add salt and pepper to taste and mix with pint of milk. Pour this custard over the bread and cheese and bake until set. Serve hot as a lunch* "»on or supper dish. A poem every flower U And every leaf a line. T h e empty spit, ne'er cherish wit; Minerva lovea the larder, USES FOR LEFT-OVER CHEESE. Cheese is so nutritious, an ounce being equal to two ounces of meat, without its waste. Cheese is particularly good with starchy foods and foods lacking in fat and flavor. C h e e s e s h o u l d be bought ln such quantities that there need be no waste, as it molds very easily. Grate all the small pieces left over and put them In a glass with a tight cover; keep cool and dry. Cooking cheese at too high a temperature makes It difficult of digestion. When possible, cook It at a low temperature or in the hot mixture just long enough to melt It. A tablespoonful of cheese will add flavor to some dish, and not even a scrap should be thrown away. Fried Cheese Sandwiches,—These are sufficiently sustaining to serve as a main dish with a, salad. Take thin slices of cheese, sprinkle with pepper and salt or other seasoning if liked, put as a filling Into sandwiches, then brown the sandwiches on both sides in a little hot olive oil. Cheese Balls.—Add a dash of tobasco sauce to a small amount of cottage cheese which has been well seasoned; make pink with paprika and roll into small balls. Roll the balls in finely minced black walnut meats. Serve on lettuce with French dressing. Hashed Brown Potatoes With Cottage Cheese. Chop cold boiled potatoes fine and season well with s a l t pepper and onion juice. Mix with enough milk to help brown when turned into' the pan, which is greased with some sweet fat or oil. Cook the potatoes slowly without stirring until they are brown underneath. Meanwhile mix cream with cottage cheese until It spreads easily, adding chopped onion, chives, parsley or pimentos, a little left-over ham, or chili sauce, and spread oyer the potatoes; then fold like an omelet and turn out on a hot platter at ones. T*e a d d flavor, if not llkad In the cheese, may be removed by the addition of a.pinch of soda when mixing the cheese with the The Citizens Mutual Automobile Insurance Company Howell, Michigan WILLIAM E. ROB6, Secretary. The Man Who Fired the Shot Thai Brought Down the Price of Automobile Insurance to 17.¾ on the Average Car Which Stock Conmaniea Were Charging about J60.0Q Per Tear For. The fanners, business men, lawyers and bankers in the small cities and country districts of the State gave their support to the Citizens Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, of Howell, from the beginning. The Company is now starting Its fourth season and has written over 35,- 000 policies. Over 940 claims have been promptly paid and over $130,000 paid which covers fire claims, theft IOSSPP and claims brought against the owner of the car due to injury to persons or property. The Company has been well managed, and has been in good financial standing at nil times. It has a new office building completed and paid for, with a surplus of about $70,000. The •members join on the mutual plan, and payments are made twelve months from the date of last assessment. The wonderful growth of this Company enables the payment of from 40- 50 claims per month.

This is a true story. It occurred at a dance given for certain boys in the naval reserve. Wi\ile dancing with one of the jackies, a certain yotfng lady had a horrible sensation that her petticoat was coming down. She excused herself, went to the dressing room, and secured the garment with an extra safety pin—though It showed no signs of being loose from its moorings. Then she danced with gdnother sailor'— and had the same disconcerting sensation. She fled to the dressing room again. This time, several other girls were there—each with the same end In view. It took some time to solve the mystery. You see, the sen* satfon had been caused by the bottoms of the boys* bell-bottomed trousers robbing against the ankles of the fair dancers. Caveat Emptor.

When profits are small as compared with sales, they have little effect on prices. Swift & Company's profits are only a fraction of a cent per pound on all products sold, and if eliminated entirely would have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company paid 10 per cent dividends to over 20,000 stockholders out of its 1917 profits. It also had to build extensions and improvements out of profits; to finance large stocks of goods made necessary by unprecedented requirements of the United States and Allied Governments; and to provide protection against the day of declining markets. /« it fair to call this profiteering ?

F1SMES, GREAT GERMAN SUPPLY BASE, FALLS INTO THE HANDS OF AMERICANS So Fast Has Been the German Retreat in the Center That Already Some Elements of Their Forces Have Reached the Northern Bank of Aisne. Washington.—The German retreat continues unabated, with the Allies everywhere in hot pursuit. Apparently the situation has resolved itself Into a race for the northern bank of the Aisne river by the Germans, who have been evicted from strategic positions along the Vesle river in the center of the line and directly east of Rhelma, which seemingly renders necessary they put the Aisne between themselves and their pursures as quickly as possible in order to escape further large losses of men made prisoners. Just how large this bag of captives is at present cannot be reckoned but unofficial advices from Paris assert that when the official figures are made public they will thrill the Allied world. General Pershing in his communication says the Americans alone have taken 8,400 prisoners and 133 guns. Yanks Take Fismes. After hard fighting Americans and French have taken from the Germans the important town of Fismes, once Germany's great munition and supply depot, midway on the railway between Solssons and Rheima, while to the east at a number of places along the Vesle river the French have crossed the stream, driving the enemy northeastward. East of Soissons Allied troops have crossed the Aisne to the northern bank of that stream, where they are in a position to harass the enemy as he endeavors to straighten out his line in conformity with that running northwestward. So fast has been the retreat of Germans in the center that already some elements of their forces have reached the northern bank of the Aisne and lugged big guns across with them. All through the salient towns are ablaze behind 'he retreating Germans, and even cornfields have been- set afire in order to prevent Allied troops garnering the ripened crop. The fighting along the Vesle river was of a sanguinary character as long as it lasted. With the river at freshet and Germans unable to ford it, they stood with their back to it and gave BOY PLAYED WAR GAME; RESCUED BY POLICEMAN Harrisburg, Pa.—Rescued from an ash barrel by a policeman after he had been cut and bruised by bricks and stones Russel Jones, aged 11, declared that the next time he plays "war some other boy will have to be the Kaiser. Jones and several of his companions of the same age decided on the war game and youngsters were named to represent the Allied nations. It was suggested that there would have to be an enemy, so Jones was elected. No sooner was the drive against the Kaiser started than Jones was picked up bodly and thrown into the barrel. Bricks' and stones were following in quick succession when the policeman | appeared, declared peace and rescued the Kaiser. eral. who is investigating expend! tures of Teuton funds in this country. Evidence, which had been obtained through the inquiry, Indicates, Mr Becker said, that the money reached these agents through Dr. Edward A Rumely, who was indicated by a fed eral grand Jury here, on a charge ol perjury in connection with alleged German purchase of the New Yorfc Evening Mail. LU0EN00RF SAYS "STAKE NOT WAS WORTH THE COST" General Ludendorff of the German Army Gives Out Thia Statement to German Newspaper Reporters. Amsterdam.—"The enemy ' evaded us on July 15, and we thereupon, as early as the evening of the sixteenth broke off operations. It is always our endeavor to stop an undertaking aB soon as tiie stake is not worth the cost. I consider it one of my principal duties to spare the blood and strength of our soldiers." General Ludendorff, first quarterbattle for their Uvea. A majority of • " " " w n e r a l of the German army, •'.•psu>.* them were killed and the remainder were made prisoner. One of the most important maneuvers north of the Vesle was the penetration by the French to the village of La Neuvillette, which releases the German hold on the northern outskirts of Rheims and seemingly delivers the cathedral city from the German menace. With the Germans now thoroughly vanquished thus far on the Soissons- Rheims salient, eyes are being turned to the regions in the northwest on both sides of Amiens. Here the French and British are keeping up their hard pressure against armies of Crown Prince Rupprecht, of Bavaria, and have forced them on two highly important sectors to retreat Germans Withdraw Near Albert. Southeast of Amiens on the old Montdidier sector, Germane have fallen back across th. Avre river over a wide front, while northeast of Amiens, in the region of Albert a similar retrograde movement has been made across the Ancre. The German official communication in admitting the withdrawal near Albert declares the maneuver was carried out without interference by the British. Just what bearing these new offensives will have on the fighting front to which Germans ultimately retreat for a stand in the Aisne region cannot yet be forecast, but should Allied troops press back the line for material gains eastward it is not improbable it would dislocate the entire Gennan Use in the south, " 'Them again has been considerable activity on the Italian mountain front, wnefpjat several points Italians hare attacked .and defeated Austrian*. ftjlfft Thousands For Crop Data.

Referring to General Poch, General Ludendorff continued: "His plan was undoubtedly to cut off the entire arc of our front south of the Aisne by a break-through on the flank. But with the proved leadership of our seventh and ninth armies that was quite impossible. "We reckoned with an attack on July 18 and were prepared for it. Tho enemy experienced very heavy losseB and Americans and African auxiliary troopR, which we do not underesti. mate, suffered severely. "By the afternoon of the nineteenth we already were fully masters of the situation and shall remain so. We left the abandoned ground to the enemy according to our regular plan. 'Gain of ground' and 'Marne' are only catch wordB without importance for the issue of the war. We are now, ai before, confident." Field Marshal von Hindenburg also dilated on how economically troops of Germany had been used. He said: "This circumstance, and supply considerations, decided our measures, and we transferred the fighting to favorable ground where the troops could easily be supplied, "We all want pecae, but it must be peace with honor."

Washington—In accordance with the pre-arranged plan for the Navy to take over control of all shipping engaged in transporting troops and war supplies, orders have been issued by the Navy Department calling to the colors several thousand reservists. The Dumber, it was stated officially, was limited only by the available facilities for handling them at training stations. After undergoing a few week's Intensive training the men will be organized into crews which will be utilised to replace the civilian sailors now manning troop and supply ships and for the vessels constantly being turned orer to the Navy under its own construction program. To hasten the process of transferring the military tonnage, heads of the various bureaus have begun a strict canvass of the men on shore duty in their organisations, to determine how many can be spared. At Marine Corps headquarters, orders have been issued to detach all men whose places can be filled by women. They will be sent to one of the corps stations for duty with a unit. Similarly, Rear Admiral McGowao, paymaster general of the Navy, has started a campaign for the reduction in the number of petty officers, yeomen and enlisted men, who are filling clerical positions. The Bureau of Navigation, under Rear Admiral Palmer, was the first to undertake such a step STATE MEN BATTLE AT MARNE Many State Men Battling At Fere-en- Tardenois, Detroit—Detroit and Michigan men are believed to have been in the fighting east of Fere-en-Tardenois, announcement being made at Washing. 112,^375.111ton t h a t t h e Forty-second division had 14,879.34 been in the fighting, 8i7i92 94 T h e 0 n e H u n d r e d a n d Seventeenth liUoiih I sanitary train from Michigan is a 24169¾ I m e m D * r o f t h e u n i t - a n d many men 87!e5i 64 f r o m Detroit and other parts of the state are with the organization. • Major-General Charles T.

Pershing Reported to Gen. March Who Informed Military Committees, Washington—The American casualties in the present great offensive on the western front are estimated at 12,- 000 in killed, wounded and missing. Gen. Pershing thus reported to Gen. March, chief of staff, who so informed the members of the Senate Military Committee Saturday. Gen. March said American casualties a week ago were averaging 17 in 1,000 engaged and today they have increased to about 20 in each 1,000. This lx'dlcated the intensity of the fighting, ag well as the stiffening of the German resistance, due to their throwing picked shock troops "in against the Americans. The chief of staff alto said we now have passed the 1,300,000 mark in troops overseas. 7,000,000 BRITONS IN UNIFORM 5,000,000 Are Now Fghtlng In Foreign Theaters of War. AUGUST MARINE DRIVE MONTH Washington.—Lord Curzon, member of the British war cabinet, gave out figures recently in a speech, portions of which have been received here by wireless, which show the extent of the British war effort in manpower. Lord Curzon said that Great Brit, aln had given no fewer than 7,000,000 men and that 5,000,000 Britons were today fighting in foreign theaters of war. Allowing for casualties and pre. suming these figures to include the navy, they are taken as demonstrating the fact that the only troops In England now are men on leave and men In depots, either in the supply services or undergoing re-organization of units.

Washington—An army of 7,000,000> fighting men will be one result of the extension of draft ages between 18 and 46, in the opinion of the war department This is the fptnlmiiTTi of figures and It meant that every man of the 7,000,- 000 will be of the type and physique of those now on the battle front in France, Military men believe the class will yield many young men. From the class of 21 to 31, the country already has taken 3,000,000 youths of the best soldier material in history, almost all of whom are now in France. The clasa of 31 to 45 is set down for another 2,- 000,000 men. In one respect the tremendous figures recall President Wilson's "interogatory- answer" with reference to the army when he said, "Why limit it to- 5,000,000?" They mean the possibilities of our army are practically without limit. The 7,000,000 could be increased to 12,000,000 If need be. One war department estimate fixes 16,000,000 men as the number who will register, providing extensions are approved in the present forms. Secretary Baker made it emphatic that the new draft ages were determined solely by military considerations. He raid that inclusion of all Class 1, men between the ages of 18 and 45, -would be necessary to meet the army program. The secretary refused to state the number of fighting men which the Army experts estimate these new draft ages will provide, but unofficially Army officers estimated that they will be sufficient to maintain an army of 5,000,000 fighting men on foreign soil, after allowing for expected losses, troops needed in the supply lines, etc. When the present Class 1 is exhausted it is estimated that it will have supplied 3,300,000 men. This la an average of 300,000 a year for each of the 11 yearly classes stretching from 21 to 32 smce the addition of the new 21-year-old class in June. It is estimated that the addition of the ages 18, 19 and 20 will alone supply 2,000,000 men. The registrants of these ages will not have dependents, they are physically fit in much larger proportion than older men and they are not generally employed in essential industries.

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the lo&a of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private Jn the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he 1a sent to training quarters In France, where he first hearB 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 takee his first turn on the Are step While the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men nnder hot Are. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back in rest biUets Empey writes and stages a successful play. Once more in the front trenches, Empey goes "over the top" in a successful but costly attack on the German lines. Soon afterwards Empey and his comrades repulse a determined gas attack launched by the Germans. CHAPTER XXIII—Continued. I shouted to the driver to stop, and in bis nervousness he put on the brakes. We nearly pitched out headfirst But the applying of those brakes saved our lives. The next instant there was a blinding flash and a deafening report. AJl that I remember is that I was flying through the air, and wondering if I would land In a soft spot. Then the lights went out When I came to, Atwell was pouring •water on my head out of his bottle. On the other side of the road the corporal was sitting, rubbing a lump on his forenead with his left-hand, while his right arm was bound up In a bloodsoaked bandage. He was moaning very loudly. I had an awful headache and the skin on the left side of my face was full of gravel and the blood -was trickling frona my nose. But that ambulance was turned over in the.ditch and was perforated with holes from fragments of the shell. One of the.front wheels was slowly revolving, so I could not have been "out' for a long period. The shells were still screaming overhead, but the battery bad raised "its fire and they were bursting In a little wood about half a mile from us. Atwell *poke up. "I wish that officer hadn't wished us the best o' luck." Then he commenced swearing. I couldn't help laughing, though my head was nigh to bursting. Slowly rising to my feet I felt myself all over to make sure that there were no broken bones. But outside of a few bruises and scratches I was all right. The corporal was still moaning, but more from shock than pain. A shell splinter had gone through the flesh of his right forearm. Atwell and I, from our nrst*aid pouches, put a tourniquet on his arm to stop the bleeding and then gathered up our equipment We realized that we were In a dangerous spot At any minute a shell might drop on the road and finish us off. The village we had left was not very far, so we told the corporal he had better go back to It and get his arm dressed, and then report the fact of the destruction of the ambulance to the military police. He was well able to walk, so he set off in the direction of the village, while Atwell and I continued our way on foot Without further mishap we arrived at our destination, and reported to brigade headquarters for rations and billets. That night we slept in the battalion sergeant major's dugout The next morning I went to a first-aid post and had the gravel picked out of my face. The Instructions we received from division headquarters read that we were out to catch spies, patrol trenches, search German dead, reconaoiter in No Man's Land, and take part in trench raids and prevent the robbing of the dead. t had a pass which would allow me to go anywhere at any time in the sector of the line held by our division. It gave me authority to stop and search ambalJEftcea, fcietor lorries, wagena and even officers and soldtoa, whenever my suspidoM deemed it aaeeaaary. Atwell sad ? war* aftewed to wot* together or singly—it was left to oar Judgment We decided to team op. Mwetl was a good companion and entertaining. He had an otter for danger, bat was not foot- At swearing he was a A dMftlry proud of him. Though born in England, he had spent several years In New York. He was about six feet one, and as strong as an ox. We took up our quarters In a large dugout of the royal engineers, and mapped out our future actions. This dugout was on the edge of a large cemetery, and several times at night in returning to it, we got many a fall stumbling over the graves of English, French and Germans. Atwell on these occasions never indulged In swearing, though at any other time, at the least stumble, he would turn the air blue. A certain section of our trenches was held by the Royal Irish rifles. For several days a very strong rumor went the rounds that a German spy was In our midst. This spy was supposed to be dressed In the uniform of a British staff officer. Several stories bad been told about an officer wearing a red band around his cap, who patrolled the front-line and communication trenches asking suspicious questions as to location of batteries, machine-gun emplacements, and trench mortars. If a shell dropped in a battery, on a machine gun or even Dear a dugout, this spy was blamed. The rumor gained such strength that an order was Issued for all troops to Buried With Honors. immediately place under arrest anyone answering to the description of the spy. Atwell and I were on the qui rive. We constantly patrolled the tranches at night and even In the day, hot the spy always eluded us. One day while In a communication trench, we were horrified to see oar brigadier general, Old Pepper, being brought down it by s big private of the Boyal Irish rifles. The general was walking In front and the private with fixed bayonet was following in the "None o* that gassin' out o' yon. Back to headquarters you goes, Mr. Fritz. Open that face o' youm again, an' Til dent in your uapper with the butt o' me rifle." The general's face WHS a sight to behold. He was fairly boiling over with rage, but he shut up. Atwell tried to get In front of the sentry to explain to him that it really was the general he had under arrest but the sentry threatened to run his bayonet through him, and would have done it, too. So Atwell stepped aside, and remained silent I was nearly bursting with suppressed laughter. One word, and I would have exploded. It is not exactly diplomatic to laugh at your general in such a predicament The sentry and his prisoner arrived at brigade headquarters with disastrous results to the sentry. The joke was that the general had personally issued the order for the spy's arrest It was a habit of the general to walk through the trenches on rounds of inspection, unattended by any of bis staff. The Irishman, being new In the regiment had never seen the general before, so when be came across him alone in a communication trench, he promptly put him under arrest. Brigadier generals wear a red band around their caps. Next day we passed the Irishman tied to the wheel of a limber, the beginning of his sentence of twenty-one days, field punishment No. 1. Never before have I seen such a woebegone expression on a man's face. For several days, Atwell and I made ourselves scarce around brigade headquarters. We did not want to meet the general. The spy was never caught CHAPTER XXIV. The Firing Squad. A few days later I had orders to report back to divisional headquarters, about thirty kilos behind the line. I reported to the A. P. M. (assistant provost marshal). He told me to report to billet No. 78 for quarters and rations. It was about eight o'clock at night and I was tired and soon fell asleep in the straw of the billet. It was a miserable night outside, cold, and a drizzly rain was falling. About two In the morning I was awakened by some one shaking me by the shoulder. Opening my eyes I saw a regimental sergeant major bending over me. He had a lighted lantern In his right hand. I started to ask him what was the matter, when he put his finger to his lips for silence and whispered : "Get on your equipment, and, without any noise, come with me." This greatly mystified me, but I obeyed his order. Outside of the billet, I asked him what was up, but he shut me up with: "Don't ask questions, It's against orders. I don't know myself." It was raining like the mischief. We splashed along a muddy road for about fifteen minutes, finally stopping LIKE HIS IMPERIAL MASTER f Von Buelow, Under the Wings of the German Eagle, Typical as of Ill- Omen to Mankind. From Brand Whltlock's story of German oppression In Belgium In Everybody's Magazine, we take the following account of a single incident that occurred In May, 1914, Just before the war. Mr. Whitlock, with other diplomats, was the dinner guest of Mr. Von Buelow, the German minister to Belgium. "We were standing by a table In the corner of the room, and from among the objets d'art the various trinkets, the signed photographs in silver frames, with which It was loaded, he drew forward a silver bowl that he used as a cendrler. As 1 dropped the ash of my cigar into It, I noticed that It was pierced on one tide near the rim by a perfectly round hole, the Jagged edges of which were thrust inward; plainly a bullet hole; doubtless it had a history. I asked him. " T e s ^ a bullet hole,' he said. Tn China It stood on my desk, and one day during the riots a bullet came through the window and went right through I f "Several of the guests pressed np to see; such a bowl with its jagged bullet hole and a history was an excellent subject for conversation; the German minister had to recount the circumstances several times. " 1 have never had a post* be enld. 'where there has not'been trouble; in Turkey it "was the revolution; in China it was the Boxers. I am a bird of tilomen.'*' at the entrance of Witt must hsya been an old barn. In the darkness, X could hear pigs grunting, as If they had just been disturbed. In front of the door stood an officer tn a mack (mackintosh). The II. S. M. went up to him, whiapered something, and then left. This officer called to rae, asked my name, number and regiment, at the same time, In the light of u lantern he was holding, making a notation in a little book. When he had finished writing, he whispered : MGo into that billet and wait orders, and no talking. Understand?" I stumbled Into tite barn and sat on the floor in the darknesw. I could see no one, but could hear men breathing and moving; they seemed nervous and restless. I know I was. During my wait, three other men entered. Then the officer poked his head in the door and ordered : "Fall In, outside the billet, in single rank." We fell In, standing at ease. Then he commanded: "Squad—'Shun 1 Number!" There were twelve of us. "Right—Turn r Left—Wheel 1 Quick —March I" And away we went. The rain was trickling down my back and I was shivering from the cold. With the officer leading, we must have marched over an hour, plowing through the mud and occasionally stumbling into a shell bole In the road, when suddenly the officer made a left wheel, and we found ourselves tn a sort of enclosed courtyard. The dawn was breaking and the rain had ceased. In front of ua were four stacks of rifles, three to a stack. The officer brought us to attention and gave the order to unplle arms. We each took a rifle. Giving us "Stand at ease," in a nervous and shaky voice, he informed : "Men, you are here on a very solemn dufy. You have been selected as a firing squad for the execution of a soldier, who, having been found guilty of a grievous crime against king and country, has been regularly and duly tried and sentenced to be shot at S:28 a. m. this date. This sentence has been approved by the reviewing authority and ordered carried out. It Is our duty to carry on with the sentence of the court. "There are twelve rifles, one of which contains a blank cartridge, the other eleven containing ball cartridges. Every man Is expected to do his duty and fire to kill. Take your orders from me. Squad—'Shun 1" We came to attention. Then he left My heart was of lead and my knees shook. Empey, in the next installment tells the gripping story of a "coward," whose streak of yellow turned white. (TO B E CONTINUED.) Changes in Men's Clothes. Fashion Is doing Its bit too. The International Custom Cutters' convention ruled out patched pockets, belts and turned-up trousers. If they would only go back to the old-fashioned shirt cuffs, sew the buttons on the trousers on the outside of the waist band, and take off a yard or two ot the four-lnhand neckties we would »et somewhere near where the weary are at rest. They already have made overcoats fit more closely In order to save material, but they dissipate that saving by making sack coats a trifle longer. Of course, there is a sort of economy in a long sack coat for In ruling out the patched pockets all other patches are, doubtless, included. It Is quite hard for a fashion convention to make a mistake if It only changes the styles.—Ohio State Journal. We sainted as the i n t r a ! passed oa.

There is nothing adds so much to the strength and power of character as unflinching loyalty to a sacred trust- "Not to be trusted!" What a blow these words would be if they were true of many of those we treasure as jewels among our friends. Unlike the secret—of which, when onfy a hint of it appears, it is quickly sca/tered abroad to tingle the ears of the curious—the sacred trust is silently and Safely guarded in the security of the lips* that are sealed, and the pen that would unfold Is Inkless! It Is lodged where the eyes of the curious can never penetrate, nor the mischievous tongue reveal its mysteries. Nor Is it to be found on the honored parchment, and with those who are highly paid for trust's protection, but is written In invisible words, and the bottomless depths of the soul. Safe It Is from the "spite thrower's dagger" —safe In thought, where no whisper or sound can steal its sacredness; ever conveying, ever adding strength and courage to the trusted. It is the only armor needed to find the worth of "friend."—W. Stewart Hoyston. Tree Resents Disturbance. In Idaho there exists a species of the acacia tree that Is entitled to be classed as one of the wonders of plant life. The tree attains a height of about eight feet. When full-grown It closes its leaves In coils each day at sunset. When the tree has thus settled Itself for a night's sleep, It will flutter violently If touched, and If you shake the branches It will emit a nauseating odor strong enough to bring on a headache. In Idaho It is called the "angry tree," and it is said that it was discovered by some men who were making a camp for the night, and placed one end of a canvas covering over one of the sensitive branches for support. Immediately the tree began to jerk Its branches sharply. The motion continued with increased "nervousness," until at last there came a sickening odor that drove the tired men to a more hospitable camping place. Too Much for Ananias. Uncle John of the Excelsior Springs Standard has lost faith in the saying that man wants but little here below. He writes: "To my mind, this Is the statement that chocked Ananias to death. It was reproduced in this conntry ot a meeting of the Ancient Order of American Skinflints as a sort of poultice to their consciences. It seemed to work fust-rate. I was a firm believer in the same theory, until I studied the American profit hog at close range. Then I realized that another prop was gone from under me." -Kansas City Times. , Important to Mother* Examine carefully every bottle Ot CASTORIA, that famous old remedy for infanta and children, and see that it Bean the Signature of| In Uee for Oyer Children Cry for Fletcher'a CeatorJ* Excellent Gargle.

Dear Kit and all: Knowing your useful- ' ness I trust that you will dictate this letter to the family, or rather ita important part. Now, 1 have been in a hospital for nearly' five weeks, but am all 0. K. now. * I had spinal meningitis. 1 was in bed a little over two weeks and was walking around in three weeks. 1 had a very mild case, so the doctors tell me but if that was mild 1 don't want a severe attack. . 1 was taken about five o clock m the afternoon and at nine 1 was m the hospital and at ten they operated on me. They told me that they got it just in time. . . , , I am in a French hospital and have two French doctors and one American. The French know how to handle this trouble better than the Americans because it is an old thing with them. They have French sisters for tmrses. They are about forty years old and they are certainly fine to boys, especially to the Americans. The French people like the America nt very much. I shall never forget the eister that took care of me. She stayed with me all the time when I was the worst. She was so good to me all the time and couldn't do enough for me. I am going to get her picture and send it to you people. It me left with only one good esr but he doctor has nearly restored the hearing so you see I am lucky to get out without' more trouble. I sure am a lucky guy; having lota of experiences. I maybe here in the hospital for several weeks yet but I am fine now, only weak and it takes a long time to get back to normal again so all I have do is stay here and take it easy. I can leave the hospital every day now and I take long rides into the country and visit many places of considerable intere s t There are many small towns all through the rtoontry. I cannot walk I much yet but am getting stronger every Those two letters I wrote home on that cheap stationery were written while I was in bed. You can tell for they were not interesting at all and they were short. I did not get any mail for four weeks while I was sick and a short time before so you can imagine how I felt with people who could not speak English but my French made it lucky for me. There is another American inhere now and I have to talk for him. We go ou t with a French captain and enjoy our selves very nuch. I get my mail very regular now so everything is fine. I do wish that you people could see some of the wonderful sights that I haye seen. This old world is Borne globe when you wander over it as much as I have lately. , Let me tell you about my Fourth. Our sister said to ua in the morning: "This is a Mg day for the American boys and you two poor fellows in a hospital far from home." So she went to work and decorated a room with flowers and French and Amereian flags and had a small table fixed with flowers and flags and gave us a real French feed. She fixed the daintiest little dishes for us. She sure did enjoy getting it ready and believe roc we enjoyed it also All of the sisters in the hospital came in white we were eating our dinner and had me tell them what the Americans do on the Fourth. I told them about the kfds with firecrackers, etc and how they did laugh! They think the U. S. A. a wonder fuL In the afternoon I went for a rid* and w nt bathing in the Loire river so I enjoyed myself very much. Say, Albert I had real Fronch wine for my dinner th* Fourth. You'd better come to France and bring Uncle Mark with you. The wine is great! Now answer by return mail. \ ou don't know how good mail seems heVe from home. Tell every little thing; j that is what I enjoy. I received youc letter witi the clip tags, Aunt Maude, and will send Mar iorie some cards soon. Now don't forget to answer soon. Alger J, Hall Co. C, 1st Army Hdq. Reg. American £. F. Wednesday, July 3 Dear Mother and Father:— I received your letter of June 4th last Saturday and was mighty glad to get i t We have just been out of the trenches a little while and as we have been traveling ever since. This is the first chance I've had to answer it. Trench life isn't so bad, especially where we were there was very little fighting going on. The artillery on both sides did a little shelling but the infantry just stood guard. I saw but five Germans all the time I was in. Two of them were more than a mile away*. I saw them throigh a pair of glasses. The other ones were out in our wire; they were dead ones. They were part of a hunch who came over the top to drive out the Yanks. The number of Huns was twice that of the Yanks. They were all equipped to stay and half of them did stay. The Americans killed more men than we had in our line. I guess that's going some. Every time the^ mix it the Huns catch Hell. Life in the trenches is not all sunshine. Sometimes we have to hike all night long with pack, rifle aud ammunition. At other times we have to stand from dark till daylight on sguard without making any noise and have to keep steady watch out over the top. The nights here are cold and when you are relieved you are half frozen. I am detailed as first aid man and litter bearer now. We take an hoar's instruction in first aid work every day. I think 1 will like it as I always had a liking for it. I wonder why Sue or Ed don't write. I've written them at least three times since I've been here but have not heard from them at alL I just got a ten page letter from Julia the same day I got yours. Tell Nan and Mae I'd like to hear from them also Charlie and Claude snd WU). Well dear parents, I'll close now hoping to hear from yeu again shortly. May God take care of you to keep well and happy.

Some of his cattle and horses were pasturing there and when he went to dinner they were all right Upon his return he noticed one of the horses down in the marsh. Further investigation showed the horse to be mired and quite dead. When he arrived home he found that the mate to the dead horse had been either kicked or crowded upon a aanure spreader and was injured so badly he could not live. Thus he lost a good work team in one afternoon—a practical demonstration of the old saying that "Misfortune never comes singly".

The words were spoken by a Washington woman who had been observing with some disgust the way many of her fellow Wttshlngtouians were exploiting the war situation. "Some I know," she said, "have an apartment war ion *rw«* A ««mti « * THIS that they used to rent unfurnished for $4g a jaonth. They have furnished it simply and tastefully and the/ are now getting |150 a month. I call that performance simple extortion." It is, obviously, extortion. And it LB a typical case. Many of the sufferers from the extortion have come here out of patriotic motives and are working for the government either without pay or for very much less than they are used to getting. A capable man came here and offered his services to one of the most important of all the war boards. He was told that he would be given a position If he would agree to take 40 per cent of his average salary for the last three years. He did agree and he went to work with a will and he wrote to his wife and children that he would send for them Just as soon as he could find the right kind of house. He finally was driven to thinking that it would be best for him to take an apartment that was furnished. But he couldn't find one. At this point he decided to go home. The government lost an able worker through not taking care of him properly. Now it realizes and It has provided an agency to see that the war workers are properly boused. RAISE LEGHORNS FOR FAMILY USE Meat Possibilities of Fowl Have Been Neglected by Most Poultry Breeders. AVERAGE BIRD IS TOO SMALL It Would Bo Profitable for Poultry Raisers to Give More Attention to These Cog Producer*—Make Splendid Broiler*. With Blood in His Eye Dog Cop Seeketh the Sly THIS is the tale*of some cops and a hound; a taxi adventure, and the district dog pound. The cops are now mad; the hound Is quite dead, while one taxi chauffeur is some bucks ahead. Murphy, dog cop at the capltol grounds, espied a big bulldog while making his rVATCH MJE 1 e r r A KEWARO Ffft tHlS ( rounds. He picked up the canine with great expectation of fetching to owner with hopes of remuneration. The other policeman with hopes of some fun, with much speed and action to phone booths did run, while Officer Boyd said to Murphy, you see, "you call up and find who the owner might be." When Murphy called up, the wires were "pulled," and Murphy, unknowing, was .thoroughly "bulled," for instead of the owner the officer spoke to the other policemen, "In on" the joke. He asked for reward; the answer was "yes," and Murphy was given a "phony" address. Exultant, the victim the bulldog did grab, and made a wild dash for a near taxicab. The address he shouted and oft* they did go, whereat quiet reigned for an hour or so. Later Murphy, the dog and the taxi came back, with Murphy bewailing— alas and alack !—that the address he'd sought he never had found and the confounded mutt he would send to the pound. Murphy was busted ; he hadn't a cent, so the chauffeur to Officer Calkins he sent. Calkins, amazed, heard the taximan blare that he was expected to pay Murphy's fare. At that there were signs of a violent fight, till the capltol cop captain hove Into sight. So Calkins, bewildered, dug deep in his jeans and greased the chauffeur's palm with sundry odd beans. There endeth the yarn of the cops and the mutt, the taxi, the joke, in fact everything—BUT— The fact that Cop Calkins is waiting to know by whose low-down scheme he was ordered to blow the most of his pay for a darned taxi-toot and then get a call from the captain to boot. (Prepared toy the United State* Department or Agriculture.) The Leghorn fowl owes its popularity so largely to Its egg-producing capacity that the meat possibilities of the breed have been neglected by moat Leghorn breeders. Such failure to recognize the potential food value of birds kept to produce a special food product may have been excusable under prewar conditions, but in the present need of utilizing to the full every capacity of every food-producing animal, breeders of Leghorns should give due attention to the development of their table qualities. Discussion of the meat value of a breed must note and take due account of the fact that the markets—that is, the dealers and consumers—do not recognize breed differences in poultry, except as in a few localities particular breeds may be generally kept and may become known locally, or in special trade lines for excellent table quality. The poultry breeder, therefore, In planning how to make the most of the meat values of his stock considers what market demands can be filled with poultry of the breed which he keeps. Average Leghorns Too Smalt. Average Leghorn hens weigh only about 3 pounds alive. Many of them will dress only 2 to 2½ pounds. This is not a desirable size for a table fowl, being too much under the weights (4 to 5 pounds) which most people prefer when buying a fowl. Besides being small herself, the average Leghorn produces chicks so small that they do not remain very soft-meated until they have reached the size the market demands in broilers, and so the cockerels cannot be pounds or more are heavy enough to meet the demand for dressed fowls a little under the weights generally preferred, and there is enough demand for fowls at this weight to take all the supply. The cockerels bred from hens of 4 pounds weight and over, if properly grown, will make broiler size as quickly as the chicks of most of the larger breeds. They will also be soft-meated up to about 2 to 2½ pounds' weight. After that tixey are apt to harden quickly and their flesh is not so tender. Leghorn cockerels produced from very large males and females—that is, from males that weigh upward of 6¼ pounds and females upward of 5¼ pounds—frequently keep quite softmeated until they reach 4 to 6 pounds weight Such birds make very satisfactory small roasters for home use, though they will not sell as well on the market as birds of the same weight of a slower growing breed. Growing Leghorns for Meat Even when good-sized Leghorns are used for breeding, the chickens will not make good poultry unless they are well grown. In a measure this is true of any chickens; those that are poorly grown never make the development or have the table quality of those that are well grown. To secure good growth, Leghorn chicks must not be overcrowded In brooders or coops, and as soon as they are large enough to range over an extended piece of ground should be given as wide range as possible and at the same time fed liberally. Chicks so treated will grow twice as fast as those that are reared under the intensive conditions to which the greater number of Leghorn chicks are sub jected. INCREASE IN WESTERN CANADA UNO VALUES But Forty and Fifty Bushels of Wheat to the Acre. HIGH-PRODUCING GARDEN Girl War Workers Are Not Afraid of the Dark THAT prewar girl who was " 'fraid to go home in the dark" is very much among the missing. Girls, especially war workers in Washington, think nothing about going about alone late at night. There's so much to do that girls cannot be bothered with escorts. They found that the bugbear around the dark corner hasn't materialized. Especially is this true of the group that Is working under the direction of .Miss Stella Osbourne at the District campaign headquarters of the Red Cross. s There are girls from several government departments that have been doing clerical work for the Red Cross every night since early in April except the night after the parade when they all were pegged out with marching. They are preparing for the big drive that is to take place soon for the purpose of obtaining funds for, the Red Cross. They hare a complete organisation. A girl was chosen by the chief clerk in each government department to be a member of the clerical committee. Under each of these girls Is a corps of six assistants. Those in turn have reserves. As the headquarters would not hold all the workers some of them work at night at the library of congress under the direction of Mrs. Woods. Others are at the interstate commerce commission at night, and still others are burning the midnight oil for Uncle Sam in the post office. lMfir*Tf (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Are you sure that your garden Is producing as much as it is capable of doing? A half-acre garden, if properly cared for, will produce sufficient vegetables for the average family's use. It will produce far greater returns per acre than can be realized from an equal area devoted to general farm crops. But it is necessary to give the garden proper care and attention if you expect maximum crops. Farmers' Bulletin 937, recently published by the United States department of agriculture, whl^h will be sent free to any who ap- Jl 0 e i During the past year there has been a greater demand for farm lands in Western Canada than for a number of years past. The demand is for good farm lands improved or unimproved. And at an increase of from ten to fifteen dollars an acre more than the same lands could be had for a couple of years ago. The rise in the price of every kind of produce grown on these Western lands, in some cases to double and in others to treble the price prevailing before 1914, have attracted and are attracting in ever-increaalng proportion* the men who are anxious to invest their money, and apply their energies) in the production of wheat for which the allied nations are calling with voices which grow louder and more anxious as the months roll on, and the end of the war still seems distant. Beef, and more especially bacon, are required in ever greater quantities, and the price of all these things has soared, until it is not a question of what shall we produce, but how much can we produce. Even should this world calamity be brought to a close In six months from now, it will be years before normal pre-war prices prevail, and meantime self-interest if not patriotism is turning the minds of thousands back to the land. The inevitable consquence has been the rise in values of land, especially wheat land. The Calgary Herald, commenting on these conditions says: "From inquiries made from leading; dealers in farming and ranching propn ertles, and from the information gathered In other ways, It is known that the value of all land—wheat landmixed farming properties, and even, good grazing land—has risen in the last two years 40 per cent. Wheat lands in some districts have practically doubled In price. One dealer in farm lands recently sold three sections for $70 an acre, one extra good quarter went as high as $90, and another brought $100. These are, of course, Iar^e prices, but that they will be equaled or even surpassed in the near future is beyond question.

Lace fa Again Fashionable and Often Family Heirlooms Are Used— The Going-A way Gown. Though no one begrudges the bride of this year her traditional bridal panoply of ivory satin, lace and tulle, it la not expected of her to provide an elaborate and expensive trousseau of handsome evening gowns and stunning afternoon costumes, states a fashion writer. The sentiment of the times Is against display In dress, and this year's dearth of formal entertainments, of the usual sequence of balls and dinners and house parties precludes the necessity of a large supply of costly clothes for anybody—even for the bride who Is supposed to enjoy a special program of gaieties in the first months of her married life. Honeymoons are being cut short this year—as a rule the bridegroom, after a brief furlough for his wedding and the ensuing trip of a week or ten days, goes back to his regiment or to his ship and the bride settles down quietly with her home people—or near them—and though she goes out formally, has naturally not much heart for formal affairs. The wedding day costume, however, is another matter. It would be an unnatural bride who did not claim her full privilege of bridal panoply, perhaps claim it the more determinedly because robbed of other privileges of brides in normal times. A woman can be a bride but once, and even in wartime she wants to wear the trailing white satin, the pearls, the orange blossoms and the symbolic veil which may be hers on this one great occasion— and this one only—of all her life. Many a beautiful wedding gown has been worn this year and the summer wedding gowns promise to be no less beautiful than those of midwinter. Ivory white satin, the traditional "bride" satin, is the favored material for the wedding gown and though the spring models keep to the slender silhouette now insisted upon by fashion, there are many lovely ways of breaking the straight, slim lines with soft draperies and panels of airy fabric. Lace is again fashionable on the bridal gown and some are trimmed with rare old point and Venice lace^ have come down as family heirlooms. Of the newer laces, shadow lace is the favorite, because of Its delicate texture and lovely draping qualities. Embroidered chiffon is used also, and pearl embroidered chtffon is specially distinguished. Every bride nowadays seems to seek some individual and original veil arrangement and many are the interesting caps and coronets of lace or tulle from which the veil falls at the back to the end of the train. The Russian cap, rising to a peak at the front, has been used, and various sorts of peasant cap, modified or exaggerated in line and carried out in lace, tulle or silver tissue. The veil now covers, or almost covers, the hair as a modern hat does and is no longer poised or perched high on the head, caught by a puff of tulle or a cluster of orange blossoms. Second only in importance to the bridal gown Is the smart costume in which the bride bids farewell to her friends and starts away to begin her married life. The going-away gown, as it is always called, is less often a gown, than a tailored suit of formal and elaborate type; sometimes it Is a gown covered by a very smart topcoat— when the bride starts her wedding trip in a motorcar. This practical costume will moat likely, this spring, be a* tailored suit of dark blue tricot serge made with a straight plain skirt and dashing Uttle jacket GAY BAYADERE SASH IS WORN Wide Ribbon Decoration Cornea In Rich Color Combinations; Nice With Eton SuK. With her new Eton jacket the summer girl Is wearing a dashing bayadere Roman sash, which gives color and gaiety to her whole costume. These bayadere sashes . e of very wide ribbon of faille weave and substantial weight and the sash is long enough to go twice around the waist and fall in fringed ends just below t h e hip at one tide. These gay sashes come all ready to put on, with fringe sewed to the ends, in the neckwear and accessory department*. If you are quite slim and willowy you can knot the sash ends over one hip. If you are rather plump and hare a substantial sort of waist measure, draw the Saab ends through a large buckle and do away with the BBOC wmca, ox course, taxes up extra rlbhoai. stripes in the bayadere in varlooe rich eoier MatttoM sad aimoet aB of the CAPE CUT ON NOVEL UNES Although extreme in outline, this cape of bolivia cloth Is one of the most attractive shown this year. It is in maroon shade with a large roll collar that forms a bodice effect and ties in front under the cape. The fringe Is another new note. The cape is very charming and there Is little doubt that It will be one of the favorites for the summer and fall seasons. In loose box or Eton style and the bride wtll certainly possess one or two attractive waistcoats to do the suit justice; one waistcoat perhaps of dotted foulard silk, the other of beige silk poplin, or of pearl gray faille silk. Lace Trims Chanel Coat A coat dress from Chaned Is a very good Illustration of the lace-andwool alliance. The material is of rustbrown wool jersey. At the sides are hung half-tunics of heavy filet, the pattern defined with satin and outlined all about the hem with a bias of the latter. There is a bit of a waistcoat, of the jersey, crossed surpllcewise and caught in the string belt of the material. The lace reappears in a deep marine collar that hangs almost to the waistline, but which is not visible from the front. And, strange to say, the lace on wool jersey does not seem to detract from the wearing qualities of the model, or to make the latter too dressy for semisporfr occasions. A Knitting Help. White bone knitting needles slip through the wool much quicker if they are first filed on a plain kitchen file as you would a lead pencil Into a long, smooth point. Overblouaea Tunic The newest overblouses are almost as long as the tunic. blnations look well with an Eton suit of blue serge or of shepherd check serge or cheviot Summer Frocks of Silk.

SAVING IN FUEL IS CLAIMED Idea Was First Conceived Fifty or Sixty Years Ago but Only Recently Has it Been Successfully Applied. Mr. William A. RaOXord will answer questions and give advice FR£j£ OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of bulldln*. for the readers of this paper. On account or his wide experience as Kdltor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority an all these subjects. Address all Inquiries to William A Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, I1L, and only enclose three-cent stamp for reply. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Fifty or sixty years ago some one conceived the Idea that a stove with a jacket around it, placed in the basement, with an opening above it, could be made to heat a house. He thought so well of the idea that he made a model, drew plans and specifications and secured a patent. The heater was built. Because of the jacket an inflow of air was needed. This was provided by an air duct leading Into the space between the jacket and the stove from out of doors. Heat poured through the opening above, but for some reason the house wouldn't get warm. After experimenting a while, the inventor gave it up and allowed his patent to lapse*. That man probably never knew how near he came to helping solve a modern heating problem. Either he did not know or overlooked the fact that in heating a house, or a store, or any type of building, the air heated by the fire must displace the cold air in that house, or store building. He bad neglected to provide an outlet for the cold air and, in consequence, his invention was a failure. Recognition of this fact made possible the furnace which came after. A "cold air register," placed In a central posltraggeated that the first paragraph, or rather the nrat two paragraphs of this article be read again. The pipeless furnace wtts Invented in Civil war times. But the modern Inventor had the benefit of the scientific facts of the circulation of air and the expert* eoce of the furnace men in the application of these facta. All htt had to do was to get the cold air out of the building, so It could be replaced with heated air. Circulation Is Provided. This he did by making a register, one section of whl^h waa the counter* part of the cold air register and the other of the hot air Into the building and at the same time sucked out the cold air. In other words, it provided circulation. If you are n9t an expert on heating devices, you will undoubtedly have a lot of questions iu your mind. The writer hud. but he had an advantage over you—he asked thera of men who are experts, and got the answers. They are now passed on to you. "How," one man was asked, "can a house, say one and a half stories high, containing six rooms, be heated from one register?" Then it was explained. No attempt will be made to quote the expert literally, but here Is what he said, in substance : The modern house Is open. That Is, there are practically no rooms on the first floor, with the exception of the kitchen, that are shut off from the others. This is necessary to make a pipeless furnace efficient. Warm air rises and as it rises It forces the cooler air towards the floor. When the heated air hit.-" the ceiling it does not stop, but continues to wherever it can find air colder than Itself. Tills continuous stream of heated air eventually drives out the colder air and heats the room. That's one room. "How," the prober continued, seeking defects in the system, "can this furnace heat any part of the house except the room that contains the register?" Scientific Basis of System. Now what follows is the scientific basis upon which is founded the success of the pipeless furnace. The pipes which carry the heated air from the ordinary type of furnace to the rooms above are usually ten inches in diameter. The area of a ten-inch pipe Is one-half a square foot. One of these pipes leads to each room Section Through Five-Room Bungalow Showing How House Is Heated by Pipeless Furnace. don In the building, "sucked" oat the cold air aa -he heated air waa discharged into the rooms. But her*, too, the inventor and the manufacturers who produced theae furnace* overlooked something Heat Wasted on Basement In the basement a maze of pipes waj strong, each pipe leading to a room above. These pipes, as the heated air passed through them, th«jw off much of the beat In fact, the basement where no one habitually alts or stays any longer than is necesary got the first crack at the heat Then, only a few years ago, four or five at the most along came a man with an "original Idea." It waa original, too, in part "Why not" he probably said to himself, running* bis hand through his hair, or holding his chin between thumb and fterennger. or doing soma one of the many things men do tn stories when they are in deep thought—i4whj not save that wasted h e a t r So he set abont tn save It and he did. Ha invented tfce pipeless furnace. Tor the benefit a* those who do not ,t a nipeless furnace la, It In that Is to be heated. Thus, all the heat that can be Introduced Into a single room through a pipe of this character must come through this small opening. In contrast the area of a doorway In an ordinary home Is 17 square feet and 35 times as much as a pipe opening. A double dejor U twice as large and If there happens to be colonnades, or no doors, there is Just that much more area for the Induction of heat Thus Instead of carrying the heat Into a room through a small pipe you carry It In.through the door openings. Or, rather, you don't carry It in, but It goes in whether you want it to or not In the house taken as an example-— six room*, one story and a half—40 per cent of its area Is basement 40 per cent on the first floor and 20 per cent on the second. Theae proportions, of course, differ In different types of buildings. The percentage* in Individual cases are easy to figure. But taking the one mentioned, by eliminating pipes in the baaemant 40 per cent of the heat produced la saved, with a consequent saving of 40 per cent In fool to obtain the name decree of heat whore heat la THAT CHANGE IN WOMAN'S LIFE Mrs. Goddcn TcB« How It May be P&tnod in S*fety and Comfort.

GREGORY The following letter was received by Mrs. E. Hill from her nephew in France France, July 1st, 1'JlS Dear Aunt: Received your letter of June 3rd while at the front. 1 am • writing this letter in a dugout. Everybody here lives in dugouts with about six feet of alternating layers of logs and dirt over their heads. My light is a tallow candle. All dugouts are dark, damp, cold places infested with rata and mice. Back of us is telephone exchange 35 feet underground. This is considerad to be shell proof. There are dugouts around here capable of holding 260 men. This is a queer war around here in some respecta. People live as near to the front line as we will let them and they plant crops and cut hay among the barbed wire entanglement* of the reserve positions. We are Hituated in an extensive wood, so we cun move about quite freely in the daytime so long as the enemy does not detect any movement. But if they do, over come the, shells. On the top of the hill near our headquarters is a good sized church with only four or five houses around it. But down in the valley there is a village. The steeple of the church was knocked off long ago From the church to a church inside the enemy lines is only 2000 yards. Th« village inside the enemy lines is all knocked to pieces. Regular servicees are held in the church at the top of the hill. One morning the Boches shelled the cross roads near the church. Two shells hit the stone wall around it and one went through the root. The people at service rcattered into the bornbproofs and cellars. The church roof has several bomb holes in it and the walls are i marked with shrapnel. Outside in the • yard is the military cemetery where many French soldiers are buried. Also it contains the grave of the first sol \er in the 32nd Div, killed in action. In about 100 acres of woods around there is more barbed wire than there is in Michigan . It is diffcult to get through the woods unless you know where the gups are. A couple of days a ?o there waS a French balloon up behind our lines. A German plane rushed at it and fired a shot through it and it went up in smoKe. The observer had to take to his parachute. We have to wear our gasmasks all the time and the women and children carry one slung over their shoulder. I have not taken off my clcthes but once since I've been here. On cur left the big grins have opened the biggest barrage I have heard yet. It is quite nice here, not too warm I am feeling fine. As ever, Faye.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH aaiiMsmammm Some Fall Fishing By C B. LKW13 f (Copyright. 1M8. by the McClura Newapa,- per 8ya<ttc»U.) The doctor In the city had told Mis* Gertie Aabiord to stay In the country na U>u{» as she could, on account of the otttte of her throat, and that \vu,« why HIK* was yet at her grandmother's when mid-September came. It n:\dn't been u very lively -»ununer for The girl. She had taken long walks. She had fussed with the oldfashioned flowers; she had sought In vain to win the confidence of ttu: chlpwnnks and rabbits which came about, and she had hunted for quaiU' nest* In the wheat fields. Thers was one s>i'ort, however, she had not i;urticlpated in. There was a creek meandering its way over the country im\ cmt>s».ng tlve highway a few rods below tr,<> house, and in that creek were fWh at least as long us her finger. She knew It, because she had seen Them, and because a neighbor's boy twelve years old had told her: "Why, of course there are fish— slathers and shuhers of Vru, and they are arhin' to he eotched, jest as a cat aches for (.Team. Haven't hauled out inore'n a hundred this summer." "Hut I was taught in Sunday school that it was wicked to catch fish," was protested. "Humph! Would we have codfish cakes If folks didn't go a-ushln'?" The boy rigged up a line and pole for her, and Miss Gertie went fishing. He stood on the bank with her for a while to advise: "Now, lower your hook !" "Now, stop wobbling the pole!" "Now, don't you dare breathe.'" "Now, shet you eyes and say your prayers, for there's a fish as long as a rail cotnln' for your hook !" When half an hour had passed and the fisher hadn't had n nibble yet, the boy wandered away In disgust. At the end of the second half-hour Miss Gertie said to herself: "1 know why I don't have any luck. It's because the fish can see me. I'll play a trick on them." Thereupon she stuck the end of the pole Into the bank and left the hook to do Its own fishing while she retired to the house for a rest. Ferrers Yorke, the author and artist, was planning a new story. The opening chapters would tell of a meadow, a brook, a bridge and a pretty girl, and the girl would be fishing In that brook. The author was great on local color, and he had come out Into the country to find the spot thaii another would have to imagine. He was quite sure ihat he could find all but the girl with a fishrole in her hands, and there was one chance in a thousand that he would find her. He had discovered two or three brooks, bridges and meadows when his search brought him to the willows opposite to where Gertie stood. A rash young man would have stalked out of the bushes with a hello and a wave of his hat, and waded the brook and asked how many fish had been caught, and how many had got away. Mr, Yorke was not rash. He did not betray his presence among the willows. Not that he was a s p y by nature, but that, having found his heroine, he roust study her a bit. The heroine of a story must have auburn hair which the sunshine turns to gold. She must have a neck like a swan, though not as long. She must have a Grecian nose—not tine sort you see around the Greek restaurants of New York, but one made to order in Athens and sent on packed in pink cotton. Her eyes must be like stars. The stars worn by constables are excluded from the contest. Her form must be divine, which means It must not be molded on the lines of a sack of flour. 8he must have twinkling feet. She should sing as she fished. Did the girl across the creek from the artist (ltl the bill? Yes, and more. She was a sylph—a hour!—an angel. With her for a heroine that story would go like buckwheat cakes on a winter's morning. Even when she became discouraged about the fish and turned sway with a shrug of her shoulder*, be was delighted with the shrug. An artist and an author has two aonls, as we all know. One is a dream soul ftfid can hear the whispers of the anysts with every breeze that blows tfcfCPfh a patch of bull-thistles—the ojatei' gives him a proper appetite for a boiled dinner. When Mr. Yorke had looked anon Gertie with one sonl. he laid It aside to look with the other. The girl went away, but she would return. She would confidently expect to find something on her hook. If there waa not a victim alia would be disappointed. IK.) up escape for and raised How a fanner's east-off boot came to be lying on the farther bank In plain sight Ls a mystery to be explained some other time, in days goae by a bear might have overtaken him at that spot and devoured everything but the boot. F'or the two-souled artist to leap the brook and seize the boot and make it fast to the fishhook and leap back among the willows wtu* the work of three minutes. The angels cannot look down and witness such base trlcka and punish them, but there is generally a small boy around to see and to give things away. In this case it was the small boy who had left the spot an hour before. He was returning to see what luck Gertie had had. He came stealthijy, and he saw all, and he aaid to himself : "Gee, but don't I wish I was as big as a house, so that I could give that chap a licking!" He waited in hiding to see what the girl would do when she returned. She came slowly. She thought she saw the fishpole quiver. She seized it and flung the "fish" on to the grass behind her. She hud just discovered what it was, and was looking at It in wonder, when the small boy left his lair to say : "I saw the guy when he done it!" "Did some one put tins old boot on my hook?" she asked. "He did, Miss, and lie's right over there in the willers'." Gertie walked down to the bridge and over it and up the bank to the clump of willows, where the two- •souled artist crouched. He saw her coming, hut there was him. He straightened his hat. The girl looked him up atid down with contempt, and he felt obliged to say : "—I did it as a joke!" "Are you what is called a comic supplement to a Sunday paper?" was asked. "I'm sorry I did it." "Ob, don't apologize. There are men of all sorts of caliber, you know!" "But " But Gertie had turned her back on him and was walking away. When she rejoined the boy, the latter said: "Say, that guy is stopping over at Farmer Turner's. Do you want me to go over there and lick, him? You made his knees wobble, but I can make his hair, stand up." "I guess he got enough," was the reply, and yet the girl did not congratulate herself upon her victory. Had it been such a great crime after all7 Wouldn't almost anyone else have taken it as a Joke? Couldn't she have taken it as a Joke but for the small boy? The "guy" was good-looking and a gentleman. A gentleman sometimes jokes as well as other sorts of men. He had said he was sorry, and would have gone further If she had consented to listen. He had blushed and been confused, and had gone away as if looking for a hole to hide in. Miss Gertie had a temper quick to flash and quick to cool off again, and by the next morning she had made reasonable excuses for the Joker. So it was with the small boy. His father had said it was a good Joke, and his mother had smiled at It, and the lad had come to feci It a duty to go over to Turner's and tell the guy that he was sorry he had given him away. He was on his way to Turner's across the fields, when he caught sight of Gertie on the highway. She was In the old buggy and behind the old horse which her grnndmother had owned for nearly twenty years. She was headed for the village and the postofflce. A quarter of a mile beyond the girl was the "guy." He was running down the hill and waving his hat at her. "Now, then, is that feller crazyV asked the small boy of himself, as he mounted a stump to see the better. From the brow of the hill the artist had seen a pair of horses and a wagon coming on the dead run. He had Instantly realized that the driver of the lighter vehicle would not take the alarm until too late. He waa within five rods of her when he recognized Gertie, and as he reached the head of the old horse he grasped the bridle and fairly dragged the outfit Into the ditch. As It was, a wheel was taken off the old buggy and the girl thrown out She was somewhat bruised and terribly scared, and, of course, Mr. Yorke had to assist her to the house, while the small boy remained on the spot to pick up the pieces and assure old Dobbin that he had had the escape of his life. That evening the same small boy called on Gertie to see If she had any toes broken and to add: "Did yon gjve the guy any more fitsr "Why, no," waa tupHed. "Do you think him nioaT -I—I think so." "Is he a heror "He moat be." Then you'll marry him, of course, and HI be left high and dry!

ANY devices and inventions have been offered to the government at Washington to aid in winning the war. These range all the way from the feasible to the fantastic. Iu the latter class, at first glance, would be placed the proposal to build cargo ships of artifit:al tstone as a help In overcoming the submarine menace; ship and stone have been absolute ' oppofiltes In the lay mind since the first ship was set afloat. In the depurtment of concrete construction of the Emergency Vleet corporation, however, no doubts are held as to the practicability of the concrete ehip. The men there believe thoroughly in the proposition; they a r e filled with enthusiasm at the thought that, at a dramatic and crucial time in the history of the world, they are to make a revolutionary contribution to the cause of democracy—one that may be an important factor In the turning of the scales against autocracy. ' T h e concrete ship division Ts o n l y a f e w months old, says a writer in the New York Times. A large body of engineers qualified to make a study of the many different problems involved in this new design w a s assembled at Washington at the beginning of the year. The work was divided Into seven sections; for the largest, j salt water for three years Is in prac-j fere with the production of steel that of concrete design, 11 engineers | tically perfect condition ; nor has there plates or shapes for steel vessels. T/££ JT£ArtERrAITJ(fWrG&Ara?tfCMT£SH/Pro&lAMc/ta? were engaged. Two men were called to the organization from the bureau of construction and repair of the navy 'department, and there were representatives from Lloyds' registry and the American bureau of shipping. The hull section was made up of naval architects whose duty it was to analyze the stability, bending moments, and shear of the ships' hulls, both those designed in the office and those submitted for approval. Four sections were concerned with the structural qualities of the ship. Not Regarded a t Experiment Rudolph J. Wig of the government bureau of standards, who has had charge of the government's investigation of concrete ships since the beginning of the war, is in direct supervision of this department as chief engineer, "We here In this department," said Mr. Wig In Washington the other day, "do not think the concrete ship may he classed as an experimental ship any longer. We think that the re-enforced concrete ship Is structurally Just as sound as the steel ship, and that the conclusions based on our investigations will be borne out when observations may be taken from concrete ships actually under service. "The one thing we know the least about is as to durability. The life of the concrete ship may not be more than three years, but even if it be that short we of this department believe, on account of our great need of ships, that the construction of concrete ships should be begun on a large scale as soon as possible. We, here, are ready to go ahead at any time. "Damage by the salt water of the eea? We know that this need not be feared for three years, if at all. TMs conclusion Is based on examination of all the concrete structures In sea water of the navy department for a period of three years. I helped to make this Inspection. We know, too, that one concrete ship has been In operation in sea water for one year. That is the Namsenfjord of Norway. Tests show that the sea water has had no damaging effect on the bull. It Is true it is a small ship, 600 tons, while the Faith, the concrete ship recently launched by the San Francisco Shipbuilding company and now being outfitted for a trial trip, has a S.OOOton cargo capacity. "Another concrete vessel much smaller than the Namsenfjord has been tested In salt water considerably longer, This is a tittle steamer built in Boston three or four years ago. It Is only 48 feet' long. The hull 1« of etment mortar, and; after contact with been any cracking of cement. 2,500,000 Tons by August, 1919. "This department has completed the detailed plans for a 3,500-ton concrete cargo ship, and It is at work on plans for a 7,600-ron type, We estimate that between 150 and 200 3,500-ton concrete hulls can be completed by the end of this year if we start immediately, and that if the construction of hulls of 7,500 tons each commences by June 250 can be completed by August, 1919; that is approximately 2,500,000 tons.1' "What about a concrete ship If attacked by a submarine?" "A torpedo would blow a hole in a concrete ship just as in any other kind of a ship, but it would not crack the hull, as some seem to have thought. The concrete Is not fragile like a bowl; it Is tough, due to the re-enforcing steel." "How does the cost of the concrete ship compare with that of steel?" "The concerete costs about twothirds as much. Concrete ships can be built in much larger numbers than ships of steel or wood, mainly because the concrete vessels do not require a large plant Installation and because the material is readily available. Even a small steel plant costs $500,000. On the other hand, a cement ship plant can be built for $15,000. It may be made so as to be portable. The principal machinery required is a mixer, a hoist, and a derrick. The time required to complete a concrete ship is practically the same as that in a wellorganized steel yard, from two to three months. "The ways used for a concrete ship are the same as those for other kinds of ships. The first step is to build the outside form, or mold, which is of wood. The re-enforcing steel is then placed in position. Next the Interior form is built. Then comes the pouring of the concrete into the form. No interval Is permitted in this; It is continned night and day in order to eliminate Joints as far as possible. This operation requires several days. Three or four weeks are given for the concrete to 'age.' Then the forms are removed, and the ship Is ready to Delaunched. Thereafter comes the installation of the machinery. Material Is Plentiful. "In concrete vessels a large part of the materials used can be obtained in almost any part of the United States. "The steel used for the re-enforcing is of a different character in so far as Its shape is concerned from that used in steel ships. At present, with the decreased amount of building of all kinds throughout the country, re-enforcing steel for concrete can bo secured in abundance and will not inter* "The vessel contemplated in our design is of the same size, dimensions, and form as the 3,500-ton standard wood ship, except thut the sheer line amidships hus been slightly altered and no outer keel is fitted. The general arrangement follows closely that of the wood ship, including the number and location of the bulkheads. The propelling machinery designed for the wood ship has been provided practically without change in the concrete vessel. The length will be 268 feet, and the beam 46; draft 23 feet 6 inches, and full-load displacement 6,175 tons. The comparative weight of hull is as follows: Concrete, 2.500 tons; wood, 2,300; steel, 1,160; weight of the ship, ll^ht, concrete, 2,972 tons; wood, 2,777 tons; steel, 1.600 tons." Faith Built in Crude Plant. A representative of the Emergency Fleet corporation who witnessed the launching of the Fnlth nt San Francisco reports as follows : "The ship was constructed by 40 or 50 house carpenters, and the lack of machinery of the plant was especially noticeable. A small power saw, the concrete mixer, a pile of lumber and another of gravel seemed to be the only Implements and materials In the yard. The installation of the machinery will in all probability be completed in a month, when the ship will be a t once sent on a long trial voyage. "The appearance of the Faith at a distance, is very little different from that of any steel vessel of the same dimensions. She has been designed to carry 5,000 deadweight tons, and a steel ship of the same dimensions probably would not carry more than 6,000 deadweight tons. The ship is painted black, and the Imprint of the mold of the vessel is plainly visible on close examination of the hull, making the ship appear very much as if she were built of lumber. "The engines will be of the triple expansion type. As this style produces the maximum vibration, the test of the action of the vibration on concrete construction will be thorough. This seems to be the only uncertainty yet remaining to prove that the concrete construction of large ships l i wholly feasible. The Faith is the first vessel that was ever launched sideways In San Francisco. . . . She was not launched* upside down, as is popularly considered the manner la which concrete ships are launched.

Pinckrvey Dispatch Dear Editor and Readers: Camp Syracuse is situated about three miles worn Syracuse, N. Y. and covers About four square miles, but we have to live in tents. Each tent holds eight men. we sleep on ir on beds, one person to each bed. The camp was in poor shape when we arrived, on account of not being used very much. There have not been any men here until lately, since General Pershing had his men here. It is used only for gathering the limit and special service men to-gether and classifying them, acording to their ability. Men are coming in every day and frjm all parts of the United States. Some are not accepted and they are discharged. To*day our compamy had their examination and our "8hot8"as they call them It is divided into four classes, A,B,C,D. A, is for general service, "Over T h e r e , " B for guard duty, C for government factories and D goes home. I was lucky and got in class A, so I suppose I will be in France in a couple of months. 1 expect I will be sent to another training camp as soon a? possible, to be trained. For they are not doing so very much training here, that is general military training. We have pretty good feed here and I like the ?rmy life pretty well so far. Of course we haVe to be on the job and do some hard work, but that is all in the service. Now I have told all that 1 can, so will close, hoping to hear from any of my Pinckney friends, as a letter is pretty welcome here. Yours truly, Corp. Herman Vedder 30th Co. 3th Batt. Syracuse Re* t. Camp New York. State Senator Genesee Issue Claude Stoddard and H. ^A. Stewart in bitter contest for Republican nomination at primaries. A lively contest has developed in the Thirtieth senatorial district, between Senator H. A. Stewart of Flint, and Claude Stoddard, Richfield war campaign leader, both of whom are fighting for the nomination for senator in the Republican primaries. Senator Stewart'? dose alliance with the McKeighan-Blackney-Wertmen peltical machine and his championing of former mayor McKeighan as a character witness in McKeighan's trial have aroused the activity of opponents though Stoddard is making his camapgn on the grounds that for 25 years the senatorfihip has been a one-term job in this district Three years ago the machine was nil powerful in Genesee county and was responsible for Stewart's election two years ago. S nee then, it has lost caste as practically all its candidates have been defeated in the last two elections. Blackney was overwhelmingly defeated for re-election as school trustee and former Mayor McKeighan is awaiting 4eci*ion of supreme conrt as to whether or not he will serve a teem in Ionia for highway robbery as accessory.—Detroit .Free Press. Claude Stoddard of Richfield has an. nounced himself as a randidatw on the . Republican ticket for the i ffice of State Senator. We didn't ne*d to use those ^rords "of Richfield" Mallthe residents of Gp^es^o rcumty know who Claud* Stoddard ia, and ..sit is well known to jnany outside hit own county. Mr. Stoddard possesses an er.yiable reputation among his iellows and that reputation has been built up by years of hone s t and conscientious work. Always a armer, Mr. Stoddard started a general mercantile business in a small way and through the application of sound businessprinciples and sticking to the job early and late, he was eventually rewarded by a splendid business which soon grew to such a volume that he was forced to sell a few years ago to relieve himself of a burden which was growing irksome. Since then he has devoted himself exclusively to caring for hia farms, although he he has given much of bis time since we entered the war to work in the interest of the Red Cross Liberty Loan and other kindred object* for the upholding of Uncle Sam's good right arm. We have known Claude Stoddard for For Prosecutor, J. B. Munsell Jr. J. B- Munsell Jr. was born in Iosco township 30 years ago. He is a graduate of the Fowlerville High School, graduated from the Detroit College of Law in June, 1910. During his law school days and for a year after being admitted to the bar he was employed by the Michigan State Telephone company's contract department in tne capacity of office manager and late supervisor of collections. In June, 1911, when he resigned his posia ATTENTION! tion, the following comment was made about five years and have always found j by the Detroit Journal: him honest, unassuming and ready to J. B. Munsell, Jr., who for the past back up with his time and his sr.oney j five years has been employed by the any project that had for its object the betterment of local conditions and promised to aid in the moral uplift. In face of our knowledge of the man's reputation, and we know him as all know their neighbors, we are bound to declare that he would make first class senatorial timber and is in every way entitled to public support. We need more men like Stoddard in the senate. - Davison Index. Adv.

Michigan State Telephone Co. in their contract in an executive position, has resigned to practice law. Since the spring of 19US, when he entered the company employ as a clerk his rise has been rapid, having been promoted to ofrhe manager within a year. Shortly after graduating from the Detroit college of law he become supervisor of collections. His business like methods and pleasing manner has'made many friends both for himself and the telephone company. Mr. Munsell has formed a partnership with Donald Van Zile and W. J. Hawley under the name of Hawley, Van Zile, and Munsell. with offices at 815 Ford Building. Early in 1913 Mr. Van Zile became assistant prosecuting attorney of Wayne county and Mr. Munsell returned to Livingston county. The following year he was elected circuit court commissioner over Judge Cole of Fowlerville, and two years ago he was re-elected without opposition. His legal and business training qualifies him to make an ideal man for the office of prosecuting ^attorney. She fact that the present incumbent has held the office for three terms and has so often expressed his desire to quit should aid you in deciding your vote at the Primaries, August 'J7. Adv JACKSON COUNTY FAIR The Jackson County Fair has the distinction of being the best county ftir in Michigan because the management thinks that a fair has greater developing influence in things worth while than any other medium, and their policy hss been to give their patrons a full week of solid education, advertisement and pleasure. Every one of the fifteen big departments is jammed full of the best things that can be produced, and stands as a demonstration of successful production, giving to their patrons an education that months of search could not produce elsewhere. Therefore a few days spent at the Jackson County Pair is so valuable that none could afford to miss it. Hence the big crowds daily. Betides the beat of education, there is provided clean amusement as "all work and no play" becomes tedious. This year's amusements will excel anything heretofore attempted. Beginning at 10 A. M. and continuing until the close of each day will find entertainment to educate, to amuse, and to thrill, so that the policy to have something doing very minute wiil be carried out to the perfect satisfaction of the public, and there is no doubt but the 1918 Fair wilt exemplify their motto—Bigger, Better each year.

AMERICANS NOW HOLDING ENTIRE AISNE FRONT German Aviators Attack U. S. Red Cross Base Killing Three Doctors and Four Men Whom They Were Attending - T w o U. S. Aviators Meet Death. Paris—Gradually the famous Ly8 salient in the region west of Armentleres Is giving way under pressure of the British. Again Field Marshal Haig's forces have compelled the enemy to seek ground to the eastward where he will be more secure from shells of big guns that for several weeks have been firing criss-cross over the entire salient, working havoc among defenders of the Insecure line. Likewise Germans are being given no rest by the Franco-British forces north and south of the Somme and French and Americans along the Vesle and Americans in Lorraine also are harassing them by artillery fire and local attacks. Nowhere has the enemy had the better of an encounter. Over a front of four miles, between Bailleul and Vleux Berqutn, on the Lys sector, the British have forced back the Germans to a depth ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 yards! taking the village of Outtersteen and 400 prisoners. A little to the south along the Lys river, near Merville, the British also have advanced their line, and still farther south, betwen Arras and Albert, Germans have lost under presgue, of further terrain near Bucquoy. While as a whole the German line between the Somme and the Oise rivers is holding, notwithstanding terrific pounding it is receiving from Allied guns, the British have drawn nearer the road leading from Chaulnes to Roye, between Chilly and Fransart, placing Roye in greater Jeopardy by attack from the north. At the same time to the south of Roye, over the four-mile front, between Beuvraignes and Canny-sur- Matz, a violent artillery duel is raging between the French and Germans. It is in this region the French are endeavoring— and in their initial efforts they have met with considerable success— to carry forward their two fold purpose of outflanking both Roye and Lassigny by a drive eastward In the dlrectioL of the road leading southeastward from Roye to Noyon. Along the Vesle river front, where Americans and French are holding the line against Germans, there has been considerable reciprocal artillery shelling, but with the weight of gun power and of shells resting with Allied troops. They gave the enemy two shells for one. An indication the German line immediately in front of the French and Americans is thinly held is the fact American patrols at various points have penetrated sectors to the enemy's barbed wire and trenches without encountering infantrymen. In Lorraine, where Americans captured the village of Frapelle, near S t Die Saturday morning, they have pressed, on and gained more ground notwithstanding heavy bombardment by the enemy. CENTRAL POWERS HINT PEACE OFFENSIVE BY CHRISTMAS, REPORT FROM BERLIN London.—"Peace before Christmas" was discussed at the Teuton Kaisers | conference at German headquarters in the field, according to the Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Express, who adds that an official announcement to this effect was issued at Berlin. A peace offensive is to be launched immediately by the Central Powers, principal purpose in view beinx to show the people of Germany and Austria-Hungary, by an Allied rejection of Teutonic peace offer, that the Allies intend to annihilate the Central Powers. The scheme is to strengthen the fast waning war will of the Teutonic peoples, and steel them for horrors and hardships of another war winter. The Berlin official statement also announces that the Austrian Archduke Charles is to be king of Poland. German newspapers hint that the forthcoming Teutonic peace offer will include the evacuation of Belgium. It is further reported that it was decided to place the armies of Germany and Austria-Hungary under a single German command. Turkey and Bulgaria are said to have been invited to place their armies under the same German central leadership. VrVWirVWVVVWVWwVWW'wVVW Michigan News Tersely Told g American Plane* Qo Down In Fight With the Americans on the Vesle— Troops on this front near Fismes, saw a spectacular air battle among the clouds 8unday morning while waiting for the cooks to diah up "chow." The fight began at 11 o'clock, when five American planes, flying down to the line on a patrol, were atacked by eight Germans just south of our lines. Suddenly, amid the circling, we saw two planes crash together, apparently bang suspended in the air for two or three seconds, and then fall apart, plunging earthward. It was easy to observe as they started to fall that the wings on one side of one plane had been completely chipped off. Both fell In the wdod southeast of Fismes. We learned later both were Americana. The other Americans withdrew and our anti-aircraft batteries turned a henry fire on the Germans, A report came later from the front line that one German was hit and apparently brought down out of control near U. 3. Boys Slain Under Red Croat. With the Americans on the Vesle— The Germans three times in the 48 hours showed utter disregard for the Red Cross flag. On two consecutive nights they bombed one of our field hospitals standing alone in the center of a big field and plainly marked with a big red cross. Luckily, all bombs fell in soft earth, though one German who slowly circled the building, dropped eight within a short distance while operations were being performed Inside. A chaplain told me how, while he was administering the last rites to our dying, near a field dressing station, a German observation plane Bwooped very low over the building, which is a farm house standing far from any woods or villages where troops possibly might be quartered, and which has a huge red cross in cloth tacked across its roof. The German machine rose, apparently signaling the enemy's artillery, and three minutes later a dosen shells descended upon the building. One struck squarely in the dressing station, killing all three doctors and four men whom they were attending. Ten others waiting in line also were killed. The chaplain who told me of the attack was blown across the road. American Capture Town.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH WED I I TOP" AN AMEBCAN 50LHER WHOWENT « * AMlflBOTMCY MACHINE (Bim^YBKH FRAl^ ' ©1*7 BY mm mower EMPEY HEARS THE STORY OF THE TOMMY WHO HAD A BROAD STREAK OF YELLOW. Synupsia.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, 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 makers the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empty'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. Chaalaln distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In Vo Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Excithag work on observation post duty. Back In rest billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. Once more In the front trenches, Empey goes "over the top" in a successful but costly attack on the German lines. Soon afterwards Empey and his comrades repulse a determined gas attack launched by the Germans. His next experience it as a member of a firing squad which executes a sentence of death. CHAPTER XXIV—Continued. —21— After standing at "attention" for what seemed a week, though in reality it could not have been over five minutes, we heard a low whispering in our rear and footsteps on the stone flagging of the courtyard. Our officer reappeared and in a low, but firm voice, ordered: "About—Turn!" We turned about. In the gray light of dawn, a few yards in front of me. 1 could make out a brick wall. Against this wall was a dark form with a white square pinned on its breast. We were supposed to aim at this square. To the right of the form I noticed a white spot on the wall. This would be my target "Beadyr Aim! Fire!" The dark form sank into a huddled heap. My bullet sped on its way, and hit the whitish spot on the wall; I could see the splinters fly. Some one else had received the rifle containing the blank cartridge, but my mind was at ease, there was no blood of a Tommy on my hands. "Order—Arms! About—Turn I P i l e - Arms ! Stand—Clear." The stacks were re-formed. "Quick — March I Right — Wheel r And we left the scene of execution behind us. It was now daylight. After marching about fire minutes, we were dismissed with the following instructions from the officer In command: "Return, alone, to your respective companies, and remember, no talking about this affair, or else it will go hard with the guilty one*," We needed no urging to get away. I did not recognise any of the men on the firing squad; even the officer was a stranger to me. The victim's relations and friends In Blighty will never know that he was executed; they will be under the impression* that he died doing his bit for king and country. In the public casualty lists his name will appear under the caption "Accidentally Killed," or "Died." The day after the execution I received orders to report back to the line, and to keep a still tongue In my head. Executions are a part of Jhe day's work, but the part we hated moat of all, I think—certainly the saddest The British war department la thought by many people to be composed of rigid regulations all wouad around with red tape. But It has a heart, and one of the evidences of this la the considerate way In which an execution is concealed and reported to the relative of the unfortunate man. They never know the truth. He la listed In the bulletins as among the "accidentally killed." In the last ten years I have several times read stories In magaHnes of cowards changing, in a charge, to heroes. I used to laugh at It It seemed easy for ttory-writers, but I said, n«eu aren't made that way." But over I so fast In France I learned once that the streak of yellow can turn all white. I picked «p the story, bit by bit from the eaptain of the company, the sentries who guarded the poor fellow, as wen at from say own observations. At first I did not realise the whole of his story, hot after a weak of investigattott tt stood oat as dear in my mind as die moufttsins of my native Wast loth* spring ssBshlns. It impressed me ss m e * that I wrote tt all down in rest btOsbi on scraps of odd paper. A s sscMsnts are, as I say, every bit true; the feelings of the man are true —I know from all I underwent in the fighting over in France. We will call him Albert Lloyd. That wasn't his name, but it will do: Albert Lloyd was what the world terms a coward. In London they called him a slacker. His country had been at war nearly eighteen months, and still he was not In khaki. He had no good reason for not enlisting, being alone in the world, having been educated In an orphan asylum, and there being no one dependent upon him for support. He had no good position to lose, and there was no sweetheart to tell him with her lips to go, while her eyes pleaded for him to stay. Every time he saw a recruiting sergeant he'd slink around the corner out of sight with a terrible fear gnawing at his heart. When passing the big recruiting posters, and on his way to business and back be paased many, he would pull down his cap and look the other way from that awful finger pointing at him, under the caption, "Your King and Country Need You;" or the boring eyes of Kitchener, which burned into his very soul, causing him to shudder. Then the Zeppelin raids—during them, he used to crouch In a corner of his boarding-house cellar, whimpering like a whipped puppy and calling upon the Lord to protect him. Even his landlady despised him, although she had to admit that he was "good pay." He very seldom read the papers, but one momentous morning the landlady put the morning paper at his place before he came down to breakfast Taking his seat he read the flaring headline, "Conscription Bill Passed," and nearly fainted. Excusing himself, he stumbled upstairs to bis bedroom, with the horror of tt gnawing into bis vitals. Having saved up a few pounds, he decided not to leave the house, and to I at work on plans for new buildings to 8 h a m sickness, so he stayed In his room preptac* those razed by the guns, both in Belgium and in France. The smallest recruit In the barracks looked on him with contempt, und was not slow io show tt m many ways. Lloyd was a good soldier, learned quickly, obeyed every order promptly, never groused at the hurdest fatigues. He was afraid io. He lived in deadly fear of the officers and "uoucoins" over him. They also despised him. One morning about three mouths after his enlistment Lloyd's company was paraded, uud the names picked out for the next draft to France were read. When his name was called, he did not atep out smartly, two- paces to the front, and answer cheerfully, "Here, sir," as the others did. He just fainted in the ranks and was carried to barracks amid the sneers of the rest. That night was an agony of misery to him. He could not sleep. Just cried and whimpered in his bunk, because on the morrow the draft was to sail for France, where be would see death on all-sides, and perhaps be killed himself. On the steamer, crossing the channel, he would have jumped overboard to escape, but was afraid of drowning. Arriving in France, he and the rest were huddled into cattle cars. On the side of each appeared In white letters, "Hommes 40, Chevaux 8." After hours of bumping over the uneven French roadbeds they arrived at the training base of Rouen. At this place they were put through a week's rigid training in trench warfare. On the morning of the eighth day they paraded at ten o'clock, and ,, were inspected and passed by General H—:—, then were marched to the quartermaster's, to draw their gas helmets and trench equipment. At four In the afternoon they were again hustled into cattle cars. This time the Journey lasted two days. They disembarked at the town of Prevent and could hear a distant dull booming. With knees shaking, Lloyd asked the sergeant what the noise was, and nearly dropped when the sergeant replied In a somewhat bored tone: "Oh, them's the guns up the line. We'll be up there in a couple o' days or so. Don't worry, my laddie, you'll see more of 'em than you want before you get 'ome to Blighty again, that Is, if you're lucky enough to get back. Now lend a hand there unloadln* them cars, and quit that everlastln' shakln'. I believe yer scared." The last with a contemptuous sneer. They marched ten kilos, full pack, to a little dilapidated village, and the sound of the guns grew louder, constantly louder. The village was full of soldiers who turned out to inspect the new draft, the men who were shortly to be their mates In the trenches, for they were going "up the line" on the morrow, to "take over" their certain sector of trenches. The draft was paraded in front of battalion headquarters and the men were assigned to companies. Lloyd was the only man assigned to D company. Perhaps the officer In charge of the draft had something to do with it, for be called Lloyd aside and said : "Lloyd, you are going to a new com- LIQUIDATES DEBT TO FRANCE In sending Prune Trees to Devastated Country, California Is Repaying an Obligation. California Is generously sending a million and a half two-year-old prune trees to help In restoring the French orchards, and enough seed beans to plant 60,000 acres. Canada Is undertaking the planting of thousands of Canadian maples in Prance. It if pleasant also to know that there Is to be no lack of outside help for the devastated towns, observes Christian Science Monitor, in stating these facts. English and American architects are and had the landlady serve his meals there. Every time there was a knock at the door he trembled all over, imagining it was a policeman who had come to take him away to the army. One morning his fears were realised. Sure enough, there stood a policeman with the fatal paper. Taking It In his trembling hand he read that he, Albert Lloyd, was ordered to report himself to the nearest recruiting station for physical examination. He reported Immediately, because he 'was afraid to disobey. The doctor looked with approval upon Lloyd's six feet of physical perfection, and thought what a fine guardsman he would make, but examined his heart twice before he passed From the recruiting depot Lloyd was taken, with many others, In charge of a sergeant, to the training depot at Aldersbot where he was given an outfit of khaki, and drew his other equipment He made a fine-looking soldier, except for the slight shrinking in his shoulders and the hunted look in his eyes. At the training depot it doss not take long to mad out a Men's character, and Lloyd was promptly dubbed "windy."

Settling in New South Wales soon after Governor Phillpp arrived there. he saw the possibilities tor growing fine wool and by the luckiest accident was able In 1796 to Import five merino ewes and three rams from Cape Colony. They had been presented to the Dutch government there by the king of Spain from the famed Bscurtal (lock. These. Judiciously added to by Macarthur, were the beginnings of the vast Australian sheep industry of today. The first shipment of colonial wool was {45 pound*, in 1907, and now the export runs Into hundreds of millions. pany. T*o one knows you.

The next day the battalion took over their part of the trenches. It happened to be a very quiet day. The artillery behind the lines was still, except tor an occasional shell sent over to let the Germans know the gunners were not asleep. In the darkness. In single hie. the company slowly wended their way down the communication trench to the front line. No one noticed Lloyd's white and drawn face. After they had relieved the company in the trenches, Lloyd, with two of the old company men, was put on guard in one of the traverses. Not a shot was tired from the German lines, and no one paid any attention to him crouched on the tiring step. On the first time in, a new recruit Is not required to stand with his head "over the top." He only "sits it out," while the older men keep watch. At about ten o'clock, all of a isudden. he thought hell had broken loose, aud crouched and shivered up against the parapet. Shells started bursting, as he Imagined, right In their trench, when in fact they were landing about a hundred yards in rear of them, in the second lines. One of the older men on guard, turning to his mate, said : "There goes Fritz with those d—-d trench mortars again, it's about time our artillery taped' them, and sent over a few. Well, I'll be d d, where's that blighter of a draft man gone to? There's his rifle leaning against the parapet. He must have legged It. Just keep your eye peeled, Dick, while I report it to the sergeant. I wonder if the fool knows he can be shot for such tricks as leavln' his post ?" Lloyd had gone. When the trench mortars opened up, a maddening terror seized him and he wanted to run, to get away from fiat horrible din. anywhere to safety. %» quietly sneaking around the traverse. !*e came to the entrance of a commun\t*tlon trench, and ran madly and bllnfly down it. running into traverses, stumbling into muddy holes, and falling full length over trench grids. Groping blindly, with his arms stretched out in frost of him, he at last came out of the trench Into the village, or what used to be a village, before the German artillery razed it. Mixed with his fear, he had a peculiar sort of cunning, which whispered to him to avoid all sentries, because If they saw him be would be sent back to that awful destruction lo the front line, and perhaps be killed or maimed. The thought made him shudder, the cold sweat coming out la beads oo his face. Empey learns that a streak of yellow sometimes can turn all white. He tells the unusual story In the next installment.

We must realiae that we are deeper In this war than any other nation, for we have said, through ear President, that our peace is to he with the German people, not with the Honen«oHern. We have then the problem of providing the additional offensive strength need* ed to:defeat the greatest war lord in history with millions of trained veterfjet under his control. To do this, we must tee the issues clearly and back up those at the front by our actions each hour of each day. The morale of the fighting armies will settle this war. We must see that the morale of our men and that of those who fight with us is kept at high tide. We can do so if they can feel our sup. port all of the time. Now i« the great opportunity of the American people to demonstrate that our form of government is a success. If we do not all of us, at oaoe, voluntarily and willingly get behind those who fight and die for us, in every phase dfour Hfe, and now particularly realize that food is powder to win the war, then we are going to fall in this, our immediate prenelng doty, and be a despised and humiliated nation. Ws mutt be a great united demoorsey fighting our way forward toward a final victory.

I Particular attention was given the; lighting system by the architects.' Windows were installed in but one aide of the building and the rays of light are distributed squally throughout th© room, coming over the lef: shoulder of the student so he may see his work without any effort. Heating and ventilating arrangements have been made on the most health ful basi.s, eliminating dsafta and effecting a uniform distribution of thV heat. The health of the students depends largely on heat and ventilation. A basement hot air furnace, with side wall registers, has been installed and the fresh air vents have been arranged to conform with this system. Every Mod«rn Convenience, Toilets, one of the moat vital features of die standard school, are of the latest approved designs. Two syaterns of the modern waterless typo have been installed in order to give the committees a selection. The water supply will be furnished from sanitary water coolers especially constructed for use in rural schools. The library will be provided by the state. It is being- selected under '.he supervision of Mary K. Spencer, state librarian, and will be adapted particularly to rural school need*. Seating facilities, cloak room equipment and every modern convenience of the most resent designs have been secured. During1 the ten days of the Fair attendants will be stationed in the building to explain and demonstrate the benefits to the scholar. Good health is the greatest incentive to quick preception and it with the id^a of benefiting the students of Michigan that Mr. Dickinson has taken particular interest In making the newbuilding as near perfect as possible. Novel Bed for Paralytics. One of the great problems in certain cases of spinal wounds with paralysis is how to move the patient sufficiently \ to make his bed and tend his wounds without increasing his sufferings by moving" him. The new bed solves the problem. 8urrounding the bed Just at I the edge of the mattress Is a rectac- [ gular framework of hollow metal piping. Connecting the two parallel Rides are broad bands of webbing stretched across the mattress, and on these the patient lies. The two short sides of the framework, the one at the head of the bed and the other at the foot are connected by a geared wheel with a vertical steel post so that by simply turning a handle at the head or foot #f the bed the framework, with the patient lying on the webbing, can be lifted off the mattress without his position being changed in the least.

The rotors of the state la going about this business ought to give their first consideration and their last consideration h» the Question ot fitness. They should fcsk who among those that aspire Is Kiost likely to become a constructive factor In the upper house through development of the qualities of statesmanship? Considering the matter from this jrlewpol&t of efficiency and service, it seemi to The Tree Press that the moat promising of all the candidates in the 0eld, indeed the only promising candl- 4ate in the field, is Truman H. Newfcarrr, aspirant for the Republican »omination and at present serving his country In the navy of the United States with the rank of commander. Mr. Newberry has the temperament and the experience which make the foundations of good senatorial service. He has a varied and sound knowledge of practical business. He possesses clear conceptions of the big ecenomic issues and problems of the country. He has intelligent ideas on the theory of American government. He recognizes and respects the place of party and party alignment and party tradition m our political system. Mr. Newberry also knows something about Washington, and the demands and ramifications of official life there, for he spent some years of public service in the national capital, first as assistant secretary of the navy and later as secretary of 'he navy. This experience alone would make him valuable in the upper house of congress at the present moment. Mr. Newberry will not be a spectacular senator if he is selected by the people of Michigan to represent them. He will lack visionary fads. He never has titteel out a peace ship. On the contrary, he was one of the organizers of the Michigan State Naval brigade, he served In the United States fleet throughout the Spanish-American war, as he and his two sons are serving in the present war, and he has been a persistent believer in national preparedness. He is an orthodox, thorough-going American. Nor will Mr. Newberry be a specialist in fantastic figures of speech and extravagant rhetoric. Michigan need never expect to hear that he has been responsible for any wierd oratorical display. But Mr. Newberry will, if given the opportunity, make a cheerful, conscientious, business-like, efficient and, we believe, able senator who will command the respect and confidence of his colleagues and have influence with them. He will represent his state honorably and creditably, and he will give his country valuable service.—Detroit Free Press. my and ettminartoja oi wa«t« fcn tho consumption and in the h^mdjlng of foodstuffs aa well as Increased production should b« maintained throughout the European allied countries and North America. •'But it is only by conservation and elimination ot w a a ^ %h*t the transportation of fpod sdpptle* m?m North America to the European front can be accomplished and" that mocks of foodstuffs can be built up In North America as an Insurance ekg&iuut the ever present danger of harvest failure and the possible necessity for large and emergency drafts to Europe.

PLAN TO BE THERE ^3 UNIFORM PURSES OF 1500 Rivalry Among Three-Year-Olds In* tensiflcd Through Futurity Promoted By Michigan Horse Breeders' Association, Since the first Michigan State Fait in Detroit the trotters and pacers have been assigned prominent parts In the scheme for the entertainment of clti sens. There are men who w-fl) tell of the srort when state fair* were held south of the Grand. Boulevard in sections where nr>w are reel dential centers. Several cities have had the honor of being the home of the state fair and always the management has included hors'< racing among the sports that filled the grand stand. When the present grounds were laid out a mile track was constructed, and from the very first it became popular, For years racing was confined to its velvet surface and, upon the abandon' ment of the famous Grosse Pointe oval, the grand circuit staged its annual visit on this track. Some years there were two of these trips to Detroit of the equine kings and queens, but upon the construction of the half mile track inside of the larger ring G. W. Dickinson, Secretary-Manager of the Fair Association, decided to feature the lesser lights of turfdom at the State Fairs. Fair goers generally like the halfmile track performances better than they do contests on the mile ring. In the instance of Detroit this has been made plain by the monster throngs in the grand stand which prompted the management, to put on a program unexcelled among fairs. This arrangement releases the homestretch of the mile track and permits of the running of a horse show, in other words staging a continuous performance and introduclng types which include greatest speed at tho trot and pace, most ability in clearing the bars of the hurdle* and finest appearance when on parade before the critical eyes of the judges. The race program this year is one of quality. It will bring to the State Fair, Detroit, August 80—September f, not only the horseg that have •been battling for purse money on the tracks of the Short Ship Circuit cities, but a number from the Ohio circuit, from Ontario, Indiana, Illinois, and more distant state*. Uniform purses of $r>00 are pro- Tided for all of the regular classes, entries to which close on August 20, and there is a feature in the racing of the two divisions of the Futurity promoted by the Michigan Trotting Horse Breeders' Association. This •ereni is for three year-olds and there 1« great rivalry among the breeders ot the state, for victory in either division is the realization of fond hopeB which hare followed the colt since Che days -when he first opened his eyes.

He American troops are eating every I must be ready to do the thing that N' American soldier, hardly more than a boy, was reading a letter which had Just been delivered to him at a concentration camp In France. Six weeks before he had written to his father and to his sweetheart. The censor had mixed the letter from his beat girl and as he sadly tucked it away In his pocket he was heard to murmur: "I wonder what the old man will eay.H That is what the Y. M. C. A. wonders, as today the association addresses to ''the old man" an appeal for him to pick up stakes and follow his boy overseas to wear the uniform of the Red Triangle. Before September 1 the Y. M. C. A. must recruit 4,000 men and women to share the burdens on the western front with the more than 2,500 workers who are already there. To those who do not know that the British Y. M. C. A. has 40,000 workers in the British armies, and that the American Y. M, C. A. has been charged with the responsibility of providing recreation for the fighting men of the United States and keeping up their morale, It Is perhaps Inconceivable, says a writer in the New York Tribune, that the men of this country above draft age should be asked to give up their business to go overseas with thetr sons and their younger brothers who are not too old to fight. Part of the War Machine. The facts are clear. The outstanding fact is that the Y. M. C. A., while retaining its Individuality as a civilian organization, is an integral part of the military machine. And the association ts a part of the military machine not only of the American expeditionary forces but of the French and Italian armies as well. The Y. M. C. A. was in the great war long before General Pershing landed on French soil. General Pershing went to the western front with several clear-cut notions of bow best the American troops could do their part In the winning of the war. First, he determined that his array should be a clean army; he believed that the best use that could be made of a man in uniform was to put him in the fighting forces; he sought to transfer as many of the noncombatant functions of hi*, army as possible to some responsible agency. The Y. M. C. A. got the Job because the Y. M. C. A. had the organisation. Since then other volunteer organizations have gone to France to help. All are welcome. Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus and so on. The "Y" bears the brunt because of its size. Hut Keeper Does Little of Everything. This, man with the Red Triangle on bis sleeve is over draft age. The M F would not have him there if he were not. He has no rank, but even the officers salute him, because, they say, he Is there through the impetus of service. The sheila may fall all arouad Ma, hut It is extremely unlikely that the Croix de Guerre will ever he planed upon, his breast. He Is unarmed became capture by tLe Germans tinder auea-Xircumstances means death Immediately. ^ * a t is his job? Will, ail hut is the club ot the trench m bfttft The T " is the general store. It la where the men meet when they 4re not en military duty. The nan in emerge teHt or fives away some of the month in France. Or through his hands go some of the cigarettes and tobacco that are shipped to the western front In hundred-ton lots. When he is not too close to the front he runs motion picture shows and lectures in the evenings. If his billet Is a small one and there Is no sports leader assigned there, he leads the men In athletic games in which all may take part. And under the same circumstances it may be his Job to arrange religious services for Jew and Gentile, for Catholic and Protestant. He sends money back home for the boys without charge to them. In the "Y" dugout they write their letters, and the hut leader starts them on their way. He listens to tales of woe, answers questions by the hour, admires the picture of the baby that was born since father answered the call to the colors, and works about three hours a day longer than the working hours of the man In uniform. If he be assigned to the trenches near the front line, It is the "YM man's Job to make hot coffee and hot chocolate, late at night, fill his pockets with chocolate, gum and smokes and go through the communication trench to the front line so that the boys on watch may have their comforts from home. And if there be a listening post near by in No Man's Land, he goes there, too. The "Y" goes everywhere with the men except over the top and is not far behind then. The Kind of Men Not Needed. What kind of man is the Y. M. 0. A, seeking, then, in this drive to keep pace with the rapid expansion of the military establishment of the nation? Surely not the kind of which a sample appeared at the offices of the National War Work Council, 347 Madison avenue, the other day. "The Lord has closed all doors to rae," he began, "all except one, and that one opens to France. The Lord has made it clear to me that it is my duty to go over there and preach to those boys." It happened that the listener was James A. Whitmore,' who has been a Y. M. C. A. secretary for years and who recently returned from the western front with broad views Inspired by watching pastors of big city pulpits sell plug tobacco to soldiers on Sunday afternoon and the like. Mr. Whitmore was explicit in his reply. "Your kind is the last that's needed overseas," said Mr. Whitmore. "When you go to France for the Y. M. C. A. yon go on a blind assignment, to do whatever is moat important at the time and always to do what the boys in uniform want" comes to him to do. France Is no place these days for the man who thinks he has a mission. There Is Just one idea behind the whole work —and that is service, what our boys want and not what some missionary thinks they ought to have. The mac who goes overseas must be a man of conscience, Integrity and high ideals and ability. And he must realise that he is tackling the biggest Job that It was ever given man to do. "Second a man must go In there with the Idea firmly fixed in his mind that unless we win this war It were better that America should be annihilated than that she should retreat one step In the determination to prevent the barbarous Hun from imposing his unmerciful sway over the world and sweep democracy from the earth. "Third, he must be a man who believes In the war work of the Y. M. C. A. and can grasp the meaning of its wonderfully human and spiritual program, and who, seeing all this, can be enthusiastic about his Job and consider It a great privilege to perform It. "And last, he must be a thoroughbred— a dead game sport In the best sense of the term—who can go through the whole war game and not flinch, in spite of the slaughter, the blood, the mud, the discouragements, desolation and horror of it all. He must go through it all by the sheer good nature that sees above It his high ideals triumphant and democracy vindicated and scattering its blessings upon mankind." Scope of Work Boundless. The scope of the Y. M. C. A. enterprise is practically boundless. The association has gone far afield from Its traditional activities. Never in their wildest dreams of ^service have the leaders of the Y. M. C. A. conceived the possfbtitty of their becoming manufacturers of chocolate and purveyors of tons and tons of cigars, cigarettes and smoking and chewing tobacco. Yet today the "Y" sign hangs over the doors of more than 600 post exchanges in France. Because of the difficulties of transportation only three to four thousand tons of supplies can be shipped from America each jaonth. Hence the Y. M. C. A. has become a manufacturer by necessity. Raw materials are shipped from the United States and the completed products—chocolate, crackers, etc.—are made in France. The "Y" needs, therefore, not only business men who can sell goods, but men who are experienced on the manufacturing end. The scope of the work makes It possible for salesmen, warehousemen, accountants and clerks of Mr. Whitmore went Into details re-1 all kinds to go overseas and do their garding the Y. M. C.

The Lord gives his message to only one Y. M. C.

And as the messenger whose message never will be delivered went on hla way Mr. Whitmore shot after him his notion of the kind of man who lsneeded In France today by the Red Trt- He said: "First of alt the man who is seat to France by the Y.

Wfwm mm , THE SEALS. "We have the same Mr. Seal whom »ve share between us," said Mrs. Sally Seal, "but our little baby seals are our >wn." "That Is ight," said Mrs. Susan Seal. "In fact our Mr. Seal is shared oy about one hundred Mrs. Seals^ We Jon't care to have a mate apiece— that's foolish for we are used to sharing a Mr. Seal and so we think it's all right that way." "I wouldn't like to* share the babies, though," said Mrs. Sally Seal. "Neither would I," said Mrs. Susan Seal. "You see how nice everything Is. Nothing happens which we don't like, and everything happens which we like." "It's a nice world," said Mrs. Sally Seal. "My babies were born on this very beach," said Mrs. Susan Seal, "and I was so interested in them that from the time I came up on this beach until four weeks or more had gone by 1 didn't have a thing to eat. Somehow I didn't think of food. I was so interested In the children and everything around me." "I didn't have anything to eat for about six weeks, I think," said Mrs. Sally Seal. "The beach is so interesting and when I come to It I like to stay for quite awhile. But then I began to grow restless and I knew tb« children wanted to be fed, so I went back and forth, back and forth." "The same as I did," said Mrs. Susan Seal. "And I do believe that all the other seal mothers did the same. Do you know that there is something about us which puzzles people r "I didn't know it," *dld Mrs.* Sally SeaL "Would you like to hear about it?" asked Mrs. Susan Seal. "I would, indeed," said Mrs. Sally Seal. "Can you tell me? Do you know what it is?" "I do," said Mrs. Susan Seal, "and 1 will tell you about it." "That is good of you," said Mrs. Sally Seal. And they both settled themselves on the beach, after they had had a little bite of fish for their luncheon and then Mrs. Susan Seal began her story. "People," she said, "are very much puzzled because the Seal children always know their babies. They think it is strange." "Don't mothers know their babies?" asked Mrs. Sally Seal. "Yes, I believe they do," said Mrs. Susan Seat. "In fact I am tare they do. I have never beard anything different and in fact I am positive they always do." "Then why do they think it is strange that we should know our own babies?" asked Mrs. Sally Seal. "Because, you know," said Mrs. Susan Seal, "there are so many of us and such lots and lots of babies. To every Mr. Seal there are about a hundred Mrs. Seals and every one of those Mrs. Seals, of course, has her own little family. So there are just lots and lots of children around the beach. It's different you see, from the way people live. Different mothers live in different homes so that the children don't get mixed up so easily. "They think because there are so many children along the beach that they're bound to get mixed up, and that because the children all look alike to them they must look alike to us." "Well, did I ever!" exclaimed Mrs. Sally Seal. "Of course, when the little dears come around we love and look after our own; we don't bother about the other mother's family. And the seals find their own mothers, the little pets. "Yes," continued Mrs. Susan SeaL "we know our darlings and they know us, and if people think it is strange all I can say la that I think it fa strange for them to think such things. "Our only trouble In life is the feat of the whale which tries to km us— but oh, for the most part we're very, very happy." And Mrs. Sally Seal agreed. "Yea, we're playful and we're good swimmers. We can dive and leap and almost dance. All seals, until they're four or five years old, are Just full of frolics and fun. But though we play and have a good time we always know our little children and can pick them out even though there are thousands of aeaia on the bench.** de- In the Stone Age.

During the Thrift Stamp campaign In July, 191S, a prominent citizen was sent into a backwoods farming community to arouse the people, and If possible sell Thrift Stamps. He was not expected to have much success with the sale of stamps because the people were very poor and illiterate. The effort was to be chiefly educational. The speaker found a dingy company of farmers and their wives waiting for him in an old held schoolhouse. He began his address with arguments for the support of the government reduced to the simplest forms. No one seemed -to llgten. The men stared straight ahead as If they had something else on their minds. The women fanned themselves and looked out of the windows. He changed his manner of speech to an impassioned appeal; no one was moved. He paused perspiring before making a last despairing effort. But before he could go on a tall, gaunt farmer stood up in the back of the house and waved his hand beseechingly: "Mister," he suld, "If you are done talking, give us a chance at them Thrift Stamp* so we kin sign up and • get back to the field." He gave them the "chance." TJiey bought nineteen hundred and fifty dollars' worth of stamps, although there wan not a man among them who owned property to the amount of two thousand dollnrs. "We own this land," the farmer said, addressing the prominent citizen grimly as he passed up the last pledge card, "we own all this country. The government at Washington belongs to us; we made It and it Is ours. The army in France Is ours, too; they are our sons. We sent sixty-two boys there from this district, and I reckon we know it Is our duty to work for them and take care of them while they are busy whipping them Germans." This is the best, most serviceable and intelligent definition of patriotism I have heard since this war began. Victory at Any Cost. This is the most expensive war ever known, still beyond our imagination to conceive of. The enormous destruction wrought by the submarines, the terrific sums spent for war materials, the loans to our allies, none of these things account for the Incredible expense. The real explanation Is that civilization demands that it shall cost everything. Never before has any nation spent so much to insure the health of its soldiers, never before have such provisions been made to safeguard a great army morally. More is being spent to equip hospitals, provide ambulances, nurses and doctors to care for the wounded than whole campaigns cost in former wars. Never in the history of man has such provision been made to insure widows and orphans and soldiers from the after effects of wounds and poverty. Formerly when a man entered the army to fight for his country, his country took his life, and that was the end of it If he was killed. Now the government pays, and pays enormously, for every man who lives or dies In this struggle. All this is so because as a nation we have developed a sense of justice and honor that regards any and every expense as secondary to the one tremendous obligation to its citizens. Our allies were compelled to fight Germany to preserve thetr very existence, but we chose to light her when we might have made & shameful treaty with her that would have Insured a shameful peace, because we are not a craven grasping nation, but a nation beltt upon Ideals, and It costs more to preserve an ideal than It ever coats to preserve peace, because you cannot buy them—you must achieve them. Nothing stands between the world and this catastrophe but the American people, thetr honor, their energy, their fidelity and their wealth. Our troops in Prance are only the sword arm of the nation. We, the people at home, are the body and Hfe of that army. If we fall at all, they must fail entirely. ; We a n about to make another loan of ate bfltloa dollars for war expenses.

THREE GOLDEN STARS The firsf dreaded 'death roll comes to Isivin^ston homes. » • " Net I Devereaux of Howell, Albert Roberta of Marlon 9nd day Glenn of sear Gregory, Killed in action. Cassimer Clinton •dangerously wounded. Mr. and Mrs. John Devereaax, of Howell, have received word of the death i n Prance of their son, Neil Devereaux, a member of the engineering corps, the result of wounds received in action. *The death of Neil is the first casualty among five sons of Mr. and Mrs. Devereaux in fhe Bervice. Philip is with the Sixty- fourth division at Camp Mills, Long Island; John with the engineers at Washington and Henry and Frank with the Eighty- fifth, Custer •division. The Devereaux family form rly resided in Hartland townrfhip. Some consumers say that we have found out thisau imer that we can disperse with street light. Why not save the money thus expended, and for the duration of the war use that money for more pressing needs? The advice is good and as the government is demanding economy along all lines it would help the war along to use the street light money for absolute necessities. After the war the Gdiaon Lighting company could be invited to furnish us with a steady, brilliant light and dependable power for 24 hours every day in the year a t less expense than we pay for a very unsatisfactory light and erratic service Mr. and Mrs. Albert Roberts of Mar- I ion received * t*ta|gMm Wednesday, j August 21 witteOHllBWwyces of the War j Department stating that their son Al- j b«rt LaVerne Roberts, had been killed! irf action on July 30. Ii > was 21 year^ | •Old and had been in service since No- j . vember, when he was aent to Camp, "Cuiter. From there he was transferred i ' t o Camp Green, Charlotte, N. C. In May he went to Franee. 1 ' Albert was the first in Livingston ! county to make the supreme sacrifice, i Besides his brother Ed^vin, now in; • France he leaves a brother, Bruce, ! three biaters, Mrs. Basil White, Mrs.1 irred-Moore, Mrs. Fred Fuller, and his' ^parents. Jay Glenn, sou af Mr. and Mrs. Emory Gtenn of Gregory was also killei in ac.tlm on August 2nd. Me was well known in Finckney and Will be long remembered by a host of mends as a geriil, pleasant, capable young man of freat future promise. In giving up is life for the honor of Old Glory he has done his" full share of daty for his friends, home and country. Another of the old and honored families of Livingston thus has an uncon- £olable grief to bear, but the knowledge that their son and kinsman has placed the family name on the Nation's Hon- • or Roll v. ill in no small measure lighten the gloom which now prevails with grief. CHURCH IN DARKNESS But fortunately not in spiritual darkness. For some weeks we have been holding our evening services one half hour earlier, hoping lighting facilities might be improved; but the shortening of the days and no electric current is seriously interfering with the church service. It is not consoling that the future holds out no promise of better conditions. Last Sunday our services were helJ In the dark as there was no current on. At the close of the service not a little indignation was expressed in regard to such treatment. Perhaps if it had been a dance instead of a church service there would have been sufficient lighting. Is this an honor or a disgrace to Pinckney and will it boom real estate? Let the public decide. F. S. Hurlburt, Pastor Cong'l Church.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH *-w- *7 J "c r* "\i .^ • 'itf•' i- t ~ x P. m% CANADIANS IN NEW OFFENSIVE CRUSH GERMAN LINE TWO MILES EAST OF ARRAS AD Along the Front Haig's Army Pressed Forward and Captured a Half Dozen Or More Villages Among Them Monchy-le-Preux, Guemappe and Wancourt THREE OF FIVE ALUEO ARMIES CAPTURE 30,000 HUN PRISONERS Both Sides of Bapaume British Troops Stormed Ahead Breaking Violent Counter-Attacks By Fresh German Troops* London—While the Germans were buoxiy engaged deiendiug ihem&elvea **auist attacks of Hnubh and Krench armies froin tue Ancre river to the region ol Soissona, Field Marshal Haig struck another Surprise blow over a new iront north ol the old battle zone. The new offensive was launched by Canadians trom east of Arras on the Bcarpe river, aouthward to the Cojeul. All along the front the British pressed forward, at places more than two miles, and captured a half dozen or more villages, among them Monchy-le- Preuz, Gueinappe and Wancourt. Across the Cojeul new Britlah attacks on the old battle front brought them to the villages of Mory and St. Leger, and farther south the small town of Favreuil, one and a half miles northeast of Bapaume, frim the British pressed on eastward about a mile. Farther south the British are reported unofficially to have reached the western outskirts of Thilloy in the nipper movement they are* carrying out against Bapaume. With Haig's men standiing well within gun range of the town it seems likely Germans will be forced to evacuate Bapaume in short order. Additional gains also have been made by the British east of Albert and on both sides of the Somnie river. In fact, notwithstanding efforts of GermanB through use of large reinforcements to hold them in check, British and French all along the line from Albert to Soissons have materially advanced their positions and carried further forward their plan of making the Picardy battle ground untenable for the enemy. 1 The French again are hammering away at environs of Roye, one of the strong points of the Somme-Oise front, the capture of which doubtless would cause the giving up by the enemy of the entire sailient from the Somme in the north to Noyon. Fresno-les-Roye to the north and St. Mard to the south of Roye both have been captured by the French, despite desperate resistance of Germans, and Roye, like Bapaume in the north, apparently is in danger of being pinched out of the line in an enveloping movement. More than 600 prisoners were taken by the French in the operation. Germans have thrown further heavy counter attacks against the French in the region north of Soissons, where the French continue their pressure northward in maneuvers which seriously threaten to outflank the Chemln des Dames and Laon sectors and to put the entire German line from Ypres to Rhetms in jeopardy. British Capture Bapaume. London—Byng's Australians went forward into the battered town of Bapaume. On both sides troops of the British Third army stormed ahead, breaking violent counter attacks by fresh German troops as fast and as often as they were launched. Byng's center crossed the Albert- Bapaume road along it* whole length —eleven and a half miles—and sweeped southeastward in the direction of Combles, a keypo it in the German main line of defense. The British are six miles west of it and a scarce five miles to the northwest, Mametz and Martinpulch having been taken by storm. At points advance ranged from three to four miles. Down along the upper edge of the Picardy battlefield, southeast of Albert, RawMneon's Fourth army smash T H R E E ALLIED ARMIES CAPTURE 30,000 PRISONERS BRITISH W I T H I N 1,000 YARDS OF OLD HINDENBURG LINE With the British Army in France —On parte of the northern battle front the British have reached points 1,000 yards from the old Hindenburg line, which seems strongly held. In addition to Grossing the Albert-Bapaume road at many places, the British have made progress southward a considerable distance, with the cavalry operating in front of the infantry. Resistance of a really strong nature seems to be diminishing at many places along the battle front. Never before, not even during the progress of this battle, have so many aeroplanes had such numerous targets for bullets and bombs. ed ahead with equal force and success, hurling Teutons from high grounds east of Bray-Sur-Somme. The report of the entry of Bapaume by British patrols came from the staff correspendent at the statement, filed earlier, makes no mention of this, but this announcement of the smashing advance along the whole line of attack fully indicated Bapaume was doomed. Bitter fighting raged slightly northwest of the town, in Favreuil, and around Mory and Groisille, three and six and a half miles to the north, respectively. British Make 19 Miles In "8 Days. Probably the greatest advance was scored due west of Bapaume, where Warlencourt was captured, the British were at Miraumont, more than three miles to the weBt. British entry into Bapaume marks one of the most important achievements of the whole offensive. The town lies 17 miles southwest of Cambrai, 14 miles south of Arras and 11¼ miles northeast of Albert. From Bapaume to the French fortress of Maubeuge, just inside the Franco-Celgian frontier, it is 60 miles. Moreover, at Baupaurae, the British now stand a little less than 28 miles northwest of Amiens, August 8, when the Picardy offensive broke loose, Germans, just outside Vorbie, stood a bare 10 miles east of that vital Allied have. Bapaume's fall, therefore, means a maximum British eastward penetration of 19 miles In 18 days. Allied Armies Continue Advance. Notwithstanding Germans have brought up strong reiuforcements on both wings of the battlefront, British and French forces everywhere have beaten off the enemy and continued their victorious progress. Many additional towns have been captured by Field Marshal Haig's men in the north, while the French have successfully overcome obstacles placed in the way and reached territory north of Soissons which adds further to danger of Germans in the Noyon sector and to their line running eastward from Soissons to Rhelms.

HUGHES QUIZ TO SHO W'PLANE G RAFT WILL SHOW TRAIL OF GRAFT THAT RUNS THROUGH AIR CRAFT PjiQOUCTAOH FROM BEGINNING. SABOTAGE, PROVED AND CERTAIN Report to Ohow Profiteering Extravagance and Criminal Waste of Materia! Used in Plane Production. Washington.—The report of the senate military nSmtrs committee on the aircraft program and publication of sensational evidence before the committee, Is simply preparatory to the big smash expected to come with the report of the Investigation conducted by Charles S. Hughes. Members of the senate investigating committee, who refrained from pursuing questions of personal or criminal responsibility in the matter of aircraft production, but cound not help but see the outcropplngs in the course of their investigation, and other investigators who hare gone over precisely the same ground covered by Mr. Hughes, confidently predict a report from him that will demand immediate and sweeping action on the part of the department of Justice. What they have found, and what they say Mr. Mughes has found, is in part: A trail of graft that runs through the aircraft production program from the beginning up to the present time. Sabotage, proved and certain, coupled with criminal acts in production of aircraft, negligence and incompetency that can only be arrested by the strong arm of the law. Profiteering, extravagance and criminal waste of materials of almost inestimable value to the speeding up of aircraft production and its consequent effect upon the strength and effectiveness of our troops In the battleline. The taint of graft in aircraft pro. ductlon Is said to be so Ingrained that none of the investigators thus far em ployed have been able to isolate the leads and trace them to their source. Mr. Hughes has had an exceptional opportunity to go Into the matter and bis known skill in following leads and arriving at results is the basis for the prediction In Washington mat his report will give concrete results on this subject. Sabotage, or the willful crippling of flying machines and the machinery for their production, has been proved by other investigation under government direction, and has been one of the known policies followed by the Hughes investigating committee. Its presence has been found in every branch of aircraft production, from cutting of spruce logs to finished aero. pianeB intended for military service. MAY DEPORT ALIENS WHO QUIT ARMIES In Order to Get Out of Military fter. vice Must Withdraw Their Intention to Become Citizens. Lansing.---" Aliens from countries neutral In the present war who have declared their Intention to become oltlaens of the United State*, are now to be given an opportunity to get out of military service, provided they havo not been finally naturalised," said Adjutant General John S. Beraey. "But in order to get oat of doing military service they must withdraw their intention to become eitisens and will be forever debarred from becoming citizens thereafter. This is under | changes Wo. t in the selective service regulations Just forwarded to local boards. "What disposition will ultimately be made of such persons is not yet known, "It would seem very probable that such persons will be deported, unless engaged In war work, because if they do not so engage, but are Idlers, or not usefully employed, they would be undesirable and subject to deportation on that account" STATE LEADS IN FACTORY COAL Michigan Has An Average of Nine and One-half Weeks 8uppty on Hsnd. Lansing—Michigan has fared better than many other states in the shipments of coal, according to the following telegram received by Governor Sleeper from State Fuel Administrator Prudden, who is in Washington: "At a meeting of state fuel administrators with Dr. Garfield recently information showed Michigan at the head of the list in amount of industrial coal on hand, having an average of nine and one-half weeks' supply. New England states next with nine weeks. Regarding bituminous coal for domestic use, orders have been placed with operators in all the fields from which we can procure coal and shipments of a large tonnage are being made each day. BOAT SEIZED WITH ALIENS ON Brought Into Harbor Where Records of Crew Will Be Made. TO BUY ARMY SUPPLIES IN SPAIN Credit is Opened For $60,000,000 to $70,000,000 Says Newspaper. Madrid.—El Liberal has announced that negotiations were proceeding for a commercial loan between Spain and the United States. "Spain," the newspaper declared, " is opening a credit of $«0,000,000 or $70,000,000, the United States giving as guarantee, the signatures of American firm exporting cotton to Spain. With this credit the United States will be able to purchase In Spain some of the products necessary for its army in France, without necessity of changing dollars into pesetas, thus avoiding reductions in exchange. . "Ambassador Willard and other American .officials have had several interviews with members of the Spanish government, and it is believed the basis of an agreement has been reached. An Atlantic Port.—Naval authorities have brought the steam yacht Zega into port, and placed her under armed guard, pending investigation of the status of several foreigners among her crew. Activities of enemy submarines along the Atlantic coast, naval officials said, have caused strict ex. amination of all craft with persons of foreign birth on board. Zega, it is understood, was bound from New London, Conn., for Eastport, Me. Apparently, not satisfied with papers of all members of the crew the commander of the patrol boat ordered the yacht taken to a nearby harbor, where records of some of the crew will be checked up.

Lexington, Mich.—Bank Examiner Wiener has taken charge of the Lei* ington bank, following the disappearance of Cashier Theodore Wixon and the reclpt of letters ostensibly left by him stating that there is a shortage in his accounts of from thirty to sixty thousand dollars. Mrs. Wlxon is prostrated by her husband's disappearance. Wixon was ap- , parently a model citizen. He was not yet 30 years old, the son of Waldo Wixon, a well to do farmer of Worth township, and had the absolute confidence of every one dealing with the bank. The stock of the bank is held by a number of small holders who have made up any deficiency. The depositors will not lose a cent in any event. The cashier's father has announced that all he has is to be devoted to preventing the loss of anything to the patrons of the bank. Action of the stockholders has made the continuance of business without loss to patrons assured. Meanwhile officials of the bank have taken no legal steps against the missing cashier. No warrant has been sought and the only basts so far for the charges against him is the fact of his disappearance, the "confession" contained in the letters healing his name and the undoubted presence of the bank examiner. REVENUE MEASURE DELAYED House and McAdoo at Odds On 3 Per Cent Levy On Inoomee. Washington—Difference between the treasury* and the house ways and means committee as to levying of a three per cent differential on unearned incomes appeared to be the'bnly obstacle to completion of drafting of the revenue bill designed to raise $8,000,- 000,000 by taxation in the present fiscal year. Steps toward bringing about an agreement between the committee and the treasury were considered at a conference between Chairman Kitchln and Secretary McAdoo. Because of the temporary disagreement Mr. Kitchln indicated that the committee might not be able to report the bill to the house before the last of August ; < -<*••< • « * : * • ^ ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ £M2&$z t W * 0 * 7 5c- .jjYwr'liritfnT P ^ f W * * ^ i i ' • m j i . m - ^ ' - «- -'.""tot'»'•,.^.—-^- mi iwiium mmpi ii"n |i*^>w»iwwiif<»«iwi>|i '—i— i1 " "» I.M-IMVU»"'" (» H«WM * W " jlPiini IHHI^UI v j p » i w n i w 7A1 •Vf^.: ••,•••£** PINCKNEY DISPATCH .* » I • "fc, - ST-"M * * OVER THE TOP *9 By An American SoldierWhoWent Arthur Guy Empey i Machine Gunner, Serving in France OopyHcfe* 1917, b r A r t f c w Qfcqr S n p « 7 0 EMPEY LEARNS THAT SOMETIMES A STREAK OF YELLOW CAN TURN PURE WHITE. Synopaia.—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." 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. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger in No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back in ryt billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. Once more in the front trenches, Empey goes "over the top" in a successful but costly attack" on the German lines. Soon afterwards Empey and his comrades repulse a determined gas attack launched by the Germans. His next experience is as a member of a firing squad which executes a sentence of death. CHAPTER XXIV—Continued. —22— On his left, in the darkness, he could make out the shadowy forms of trees; crawling on his hands and knees, stopping and crouching with fear at each shell-buret, he finally reached an old orchard and cowered at the base of a shot-scarred apple tree. He remained there all night, listening to the sound of the guns and ever praying, praying that his useless life would be spared. As dawn began to break, he could discern little dark objects protruding from the ground all about him. Curiosity mastered his fear and he crawled to one of the objects, and there, in the uncertain light, he read on a little wooden cross: "Pte. H. 8. Wheaton, No. 1670, 1st London Regt. R. F. Killed in action. April 26, 1916. R. I. P." (Rest.In Peace). When it dawned on him that he had been hiding all night in a cemetery his reason seemed to leave him, and a mad desire to bo free from it all made him rush madly away, falling over little wooden crosses, smashing some and trampling others under his feet In his flight he came to an old French dugout, half caved in and partially filled with slimy and filthy water. Like a fox being chased by the hounds, he ducked into this hole, and threw himself on a pile of old empty sandbags, wet and mildewed. Thenunconsciousness. On the next day, he came to; far distant voices sounded in his ears. Opening his eyes', in the entrance of the dugout he saw a corporal and two men with fixed bayonets. The corporal was addressing him: "Get up, you white-livered blighter! Curse you and the day you ever joined D company, -spoiling their fine record ! It'll be you up against the wall, and a good Job too. Get hold of him, men, and if he makes a break, give him the bayonet, and send it home, the cowardly sneak. Come on, you, move, we've been looking for you long enough." Lloyd, trembling and weakened by his long fast, tottered out assisted by a soldier on each side of him. They took him before the captain, but could get nothing out of him but: T o r God's sake, sir, don't have me shot don't have-me shot!" The captain, utterly disgusted with him, sent him under escort to division headquarters for trial by court-mar' tial, charged with, desertion under fire. They shoot deserters in France. During his trial, Lloyd sat as one dased, and could put nothing forward tn his defense, only an occasional "Don't have me shot!" His sentence was passed: "To be shot at 8:38 o'clock in the morning of May 18, 1916." This meant that he had only one more day to live. He did not realize the awful n ess of his sentence; hit brain teemed paralyzed. He knew nothing of his trip, under guard, in a motor lorry to the sandbagged guardroom in the Tillage, wher« he was dumped on the floor and left while a sentry with a fixed bayonet paced op and down In front of the entrance.,. -Bully beef, water and biscuits were left beside him for bis supper. The sentry, seeing that Be ate nothing, came inside and shook him by the shoulder, saying in a kind vofce: "Cheero, laddie, better eat something, YouTI feel better. Don't give np hope. You'll be pardoned before morning. I KBOW the way they run these thing*. They're only trying to scare yon, thafs afl. Come now, that*s a good lad, eat something. It'll make tto world leek different to jo%" The good-hearted sentry knew he was lying about the pardon. He knew nothing short of a miracle could save the poor lad. Lloyd listened eagerly to his sentry's words, and believed them. A look of hope came into his eyes, and he ravenously ate the meal beside him. In about an hour's time, the chaplain came to see him, but Lloyd would have none of him. He wanted no parson ; he was to be pardoned. The artillery behind the lines suddenly opened up with everything they had. An intense bombardment of the enemy's lines had commenced. The roar of the guns was deafening. Lloyd's fears came back with a rush, and he cowered on the earthen floor with his hands over his face. The sentry, seeing his position, came in and tried to cheer him by talking to him : "Never mind them guns, boy, they won't hurt you. They are ours. We are giving the Boches a dose of their own medicine. Our boys are going over m iikSj • * / > • ' ' • , - • . . „ ' • ** 1* • ' / * .• • < , ^rW^sW^^f r,f He Betrayed His Country. the top at dawn of the morning to take their trenches. We'll give 'em a taste of cold steel with their sausages and beer. You Just sit tight now until they relieve you. m have to go now, lad, as it's nearly time for my relief, and I don't want them to see me a-taLkin* with yon. SO long, laddie, cheero." With this, the sentry resumed the pacing of his post In about ten minutes' time he was relieved, and a D company man took his place. Looking • into the gwrdhonee, the sentry noticed the cowering attitude of Lloyd, and, with a sneer, said to him: "Instead of whimpering in that corner, yon ought to be saying your prayers. If s bally conscripts like yon what's spoilin' our record We've been ont here nigh onto eighteen months, and you're the first man to desert his poet The whole battalion is langhin' and pokin' fan at D company, bad Inch to yon! but yon won't get another chance to disgrace us.. They'll pat your lights oat in the mornln'." After listening to this tirade, Lloyd, l In a faltering voice, asked : "They are not going to shoot me, are they? Why, the other sentry said they'd pardon me. For God's sake—don't tell me I'm to be shot !" and his voice died away in a sob. "Of course, they're going to shoot you. The other sentry was jest a-kiddin' you. Jest like old Smith. Always a-tryln' to cheer some one. You ain't got no more chance o' beln' pardoned than I have of gettln' to be colonel of my 'batt.'" When the fact that all hope was gone finally entered Lloyd's brain, a calm seemed to settle over him, and rising to his knees, with his arms stretched out to heaven, he prayed, and all of his soul entered into the prayer. "O, good and merciful God, give me strength to die like a man! Deliver, me from this coward's death. Give me a chance to die like my mates in the fighting line, to die fighting for my country. I ask this of thee." A peace, hitherto unknown, came to him, and he crouched and cowered no more, but calmly waited the dawn, ready to go to his death. The shells were bursting all around the guardroom, but he hardly noticed them. While waiting there, the voice of the sentry, singing in a low tone, came to htm. He was singing the chorus of the popular trench ditty : I want to g"0 home, I want to go home. I don't want to so to the trenches no more. Where the "whiMbangs" and "sausages" roar galore. Take me over the sea, where the Allemand can't get at me. Oh, my, I don't want to die! I want to go home. Lloyd listened to the words with a strange interest, and wondered what kind of a home he would go to across the Great Divide. It would be the only home he had ever known. Suddenly there came a great rushing through the air, a blinding, a deafening report, and the sandbag walls of the guardroom toppled over, and then —blackness. When Lloyd recovered consciousness, he was lying on his right side, facing what used to be the entrance of the guardroom. Now, it was only K Jumble of rent and torn sandbags. His head seemed bursting. He slowly rose on his elbow, and there in the east the dawn was breaking. But what was that mangled shape lying over there among the sandbags? Slowly dragging himself to it, he saw the body of the sentry. One look was enough to know that he was dead. The soldier'B head was missing. The sentry had had his wish gratified. He had "gone home." He was safe at last from the "whizzbangs" and the Allemand. Like a flash it came to Lloyd that he was free. Free to go "over the top" with his company. Free to die like a true Briton fighting for his king and country. A great gladness and warmth came over him. Carefully stepping over the body of the sentry, he started on a mad race down the ruined street of the village, amid the bursting shells, minding them not. dodging through or around hurrying platoons on their way to also go "over the top." Coming to a communication trench he could not get through. It was blocked with laughing, cheering and cursing soldiers. Climbing out of the trenA. he ran wildly along the top, never heeding the rain of machine-gun bullets and shells, not even hearing the shouts of the officers, telling him to get back into the trench. He was going to join his company who were in the front line. 9 e was going to fight with them. He, the despised coward, had come into his own. While he was racing along. Jumping over trenches crowded with soldiers, a ringing cheer broke out all along the front line, and his hftart sank. He knew he was too late. His* company had gone over. But still he ran madly. He would catch them. He would die with them. Meanwhile his company had gone "over." They, with the other companies had taken the first and second German trenches, and had pusb«d steadily on to the third line. D company, led by their captain, the one who had sent Lloyd to division headquarters for trial, charged with desertion, had pushed steadily forward until they fonnd themselves far tn advance of the rest of the attacking force. "Bombing out" trench after trench, and using their bayonets, they came to a German communication trench, which ended in a bllndsap, and then the captain, and what was left of his men. knew they were in a trap. They would not retire. D company never retired, and they were D company. Right In front of them they oonW see hundreds of Oermsns preparing to rush them wftaj bomb and bayonet They would hare some chance if ammunition and bomb* could reach them from the rear. Their supply was exhausted, uud the men realized it would be a case of dying as bravely as possible, or making a rtm for it. But D company would not run. It was ugulust their tradi'i'jus and principles. The Germans would have to advance across an open space of three to four hund-od yards before they could get within bombing distance of the trench, and then it would be all their own way. Turning to his company, the captain said : "Men, it's a case of going West for us. We are out of ammunition and bombs, and the Boches have us In a trap. They will bomb us out. Our bayonets are useless here. We will have to go over and meet them, and it's a case of thirty to one, so send every thrust home, and die like the men of D company should. When I give the word, follow me, and up and at them. Give them h ! Lord. If we only had a machine gun, we could wipe them out! Here they come, get ready, men."

White gives some of the particulars of the "Cardiff Giant" in a book entitled "The True Story of a Remarkable Deception." The Cardlfl giant was the huge stone image of a man which Farmer Newell of Cardiff, N. Y., claimed to have unearthed while digging a well in the autumn of 1869. After it had been sold to a Joint-stock company formed to exploit the wonder for show purposes, Barnum tried to buy it for his own museum, but his of* fer was declined. The showman then had an imitation made, with the result that Wo Cardiff giants were on exhibition at the same time, the duplicate being shown to the public as "tne only and original." Doctor White attribute* the exposure of the fake to Professor Marsh of Yale; in another account it \\n» Dr. John V. Boynton of Syracuse, N. Y., who laid bare the fraud. Th« original Cardiff giant was carved oi chiseled out of a gypsum block tn a stoneyard In Chicago and was transported thence by rail and wagon to Cardiff.

All ladles and lionesses uud small girls know about fashions." "What is there to know about them?' asked Mr. Lion. "Fashions," said Mrs. Lioness, "are fads." "I know no more now thun I did before," said Mr. Lion. "Too bad," said Mrs. Lioness. "I'll try again to explain to you the meaning of fashions. Well, fashions are passing fancies." "I'm still more at sea," said Mr. Lion. "At sea! At sea!" exclaimed Mrs. Lioness. "Why you aren't at sea; you're in the zoo. You're not even in the jungle. Oh, dear, oh, dear, has the summer heat been too much for you? You must rest. You must have something cool for your head." "Ha, ha!" roared the lion. "Ha, ha, ha, ha!" And he roared as hard as he could, while he grinned, a wonderful and very wide grin. "Whatever Is the matter?" asked Mrs. Lioness. "Just this," said Mr. Lion. "You were trying to act as If you knew so much and you tried to mix me all up. So I tried the same thing on you. You tell me what fashions are and I will tell you what I meant when I said I was at sea. I can assure you I didn't for a moment think I was at sea, or in the sea, or that the sea waB anywhere around me." "What did you mean?" asked Mrs. Lioness. "Pray tell me first. Ladies should always be helped first, spoken to first, etc., etc." "Oh, very well," said Mr. Lion. Well, when I said that I was at sea I meant that 1 was mixed up. I used that as an expression or saying, as people do when they mean they're very much confused. It Just means they're at sea in their minds." "Does it mean that their heads are covered with water?" asked Mra. Lioness. "No," said Mr. Lion. "It means that their thoughts are all mixed up and just as though they were lost at sea and didn't know where they were going—their thoughts don't know where they're going—that's what it means." "Oh," said Mrs. Lioness, "I understand, but it is a silly expression. Now I will tell you what fashions are. Fashions are styles and they only remain fashions as long as the styles are fashionable." Mr. Lion said this over to himself a number of times quite slowly. "I understand now," he said at last. "It's my turn to speak," said the Tiger. "Speak all you wish," the other animals said. "Weil," said the Tiger, "they've been having for a long time all sorts of days." "News ! News ! Extra ! Extra !M called Mr. Lion. "They've been having all sorts of days he tells us, and all sorts of nights, too, you might add. Some are rainy, some snowy, some warm, some cold. My, but you are bright, Mr. Tiger." "Patience." said the Tiger. "What have days to do with fashions and a new one which you spoke of?" asked Mrs. Lioness. "They have this to do with It," said Mr. Tiger, "and I will explain myself If only you will give me time." "Go ahead," said Mr. Lion. "Well," said Mr. Tiger, "they have been trying to save food and not waste It. They've been trying to have good sense and not throw anything away, and also they've tried to make use of everything, and so they could do all this they have had wheatless days, meatless days, porkless days and goodness knows what else. They think it's a perfectly good idea of their own and that no one ever had It before. "It's a good idea, to he sure, but it's not a new Idea or a new fashion, for in the too for as long as I can remember all the big, wild animals like ourselves, yourselves, the leopards and others have had one foodleas day a week—one day with no food at alL so we wouldn't be too wild eating such a lot of meat Ah, the soo Is really ahead of the times," be ended proudly.

Grand Rapids. & . Packers' Profits Are Regulated The public should understand that the profits of the packers have been limited by the Food Administration since November 1, 1917. For this purpose, the business of Swift St Company is now divided into three classes: Clang 1 include* such products aa beef, pork, mutton, oleomargarine and others that are essentially animal products. Profits are limited to 9 per cent of the capital employed in these departments, (including surplus and borrowed money), or not to exceed two and a half cents on each dollar of sales. Class 2 includes the soap, glue, fertilizer, and other departments more or less associated with the meat business. Many of these departments are in competition with outside businesses whose profits are not limited. Profits in this class are restricted to 15 per cent of the capital employed. Class 3 includes outside investments, such as those in stock yards, and the operation of packing plants in foreign countries. Profits in this class are not limited. Total profits for all departments together in 1918 will probably be between three and four per cent on an increased volume of sales. The restrictions absolutely guarantee a reasonable relation between live stock prices and wholesale meat prices, because the packer's profit cannot possibly average more than a fraction of a cent per pound of product. Since the profits on meat (Class 1) are running only about 2 cents on each dollar of sales, we have to depend on the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other departments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital. Swift & Company is conducting its business so as to come within these limitations. Swift & Company, U. S A Memorable Vacation.

OVERDOSES ARE DANGEROUS Methed 1« Perfectly Safe, Avert Coons, if Spray Is Applied Ex. actly as Rules S«y. By OR. 0. H. COONS, Department of Botany, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich. — With the stress of the war, losses to the cereal crops from preventable smuts are demanding attention. As the result of excellent work by county agents It is encouraging to note that In some counties of the state fully 90 per cent of the oats planted this last year were treated for smut. This unparalleled Increase In seed treatment has come about chiefly by a simplification of the method to be used in treatment, whereby through the use of one pint of formaldehyde to 50 bushels of seed grain In a small atomizer a farmer can Formaldehyde as a gas has a umrkeo affinity for water. It cannot be driven out ot the solution by boiliug. Dilute solutions become slightly stronger cm standing exposed to evaporation. Formaldehyde wheu sprayed or sprinkled upon grain airs very slowly —not at all if the weather Is cold and wet. Airing should be done under warm conditions, preferably in the open where quick drying of wet grain can take place. Planting* If done immediately after the grain has been covered for the correct time, can take the place of airing The damp soil is greedy for formaldehyde and will take it up, removing all chance of danger. In North Dakota farmers wet the grain heavily with dilute formaldehyde and then plant immediately, using force-feed drills. This treatment is given in the fields and due allowance for the swollen condition is made. As formaldehyde is diluted with water its toxicity to wheat increases, so that at one part of formaldehyde to ten parts of water the solution is very Injurious. At greater dilution, one part to 100 to 200 of water, the action Is still more marked. From that point the toxicity gradually decreases. The effect of formaldehyde diluted one pint to 40 gallons (1 to 320) Is slight, provided the action Is not carried on too long. Best to Plant Immediately. . Formaldehyde shows a sort of cumulative action on grain, either when sprayed on the grain as a concentrated solution or when dried upon It as In the wet method. It seems .cly that HE WAS THERE TO SLEEP And a Little Thing Like the Building Burning Couldn't Rouse "Dutch" From Slumber. At camp "Dutch," as he was called, was reputably the biggest sleepyhead and most absent-minded individual existing. One night "Dutch" was. as usual, in blissful repose, when some of the buildings In the barracks caught fire and the alarm was spread rapidly to all parts of the camp, and the fire finally came alarmingly near the bunk where "Dutch" was dreaming of Bhootlog the Huns Into Hades. In hlB sleep "Dutch" finally got up and wandered to another part of the barracks, where he crawled into some one's bunk and peacefully slept on amid the roar and clatter, flames and smoke. Not until long after the building had burned to the ground and only cinders and ashes were left did any one think of "Dutch." After a prolonged search they finally found him, sweetly and blissfully sleeping with the cover pulled up around his chin like an innocent babe, and closely clasping in either hand his girl's picture* and a safety razor. HADLEY WILLING TO FORGET Subject of Dislocated Jaws Seldom Seletced for Conversation by Head of Yale University. Smutted Wheat on Left—Healthy Wheat on Right in a few minutes treat his grain for planting. In this new treatment all wetting of the grain is avoided and after the requisite covering the grain can be planted at once. But while advances have been made in the fighting of oat smut, it Is true that in spite of the well-known efficiency of sprinkling wheat with dilute formaldehyde (one pint to 40 gallons of water) to control stinking smut, wheat treatment in Michigan has never been widely adopted by farmers. This has probably come about from the delay that arises In waiting for the wet grain to dry, and in part has arisen from occasional Injuries to the stand which have resulted from the improper use of the treatment. In 1916 Kent county farmers tried treating wheat by the same concentrated method as has been found successful for oats. This treatment, as they used it, was extremely successful, the stands being good and the control of smut excellent. Laboratory teats-in 1917 and field teats in 1918 with spring wheat have shown that the concentrated method is safe if directions a r e followed. It is very evident that the concentrated method presents marked advantages as a time and labor saver. The use of the method In 1917 confirmed abundantly the experience of the Kent county farmers and many fields were treated by this method. There have been cases, however, where fanners injured their grain by this treatment. Study of typical cases of seed injury has shewn that in nearly all Instances the injury has arisen -from failure to- follow directions. The very simplicity of the method lends itself readily to abuse, The most common mistake made by the farmers was In applying an overdose. Because of the importance of finding the cause of this Injury to wheat and in order that this useful chemical may be safely handled in this necessary farm practice, experiments were undertaken to find the factors Influencing the action of formaldehyde. The following facts about formaldehyde will be o l interest in explaining its behavior: Formaldehyde, as sold mmmwrtaHy by honest dealers. Is a dear, stroegsmeUlng liquid which contain from » t o 40 per cent of formaldehyde gas. It usually carries from S to 15 j •f wood alcohol to prevent the tlaa of fwmfortneWehyde. the formaldehyde is largely present as paraformaldehyde and as such persists on the grain, even after months of airing. It is this continued action of the formaldehyde which makes It unwise to hold grain any length of time after treatment. We have looked upon formaldehyde as a gas which was hard to confine and which would air readily. We must rather look upon it as a compound which readily becomes stable and which airs slowly and then only under warm, dry conditions. Formaldehyde is a powerful disinfectant. It seems safe to predict that future experiments will lead to lessening of amounts to be used and to shortening of time of covering rather than to the reverse. It Is evident that the aboye facts concerning formaldehyde which have not previously been considered In the relation of the chemical to seed treatment must be borne in mind. If such is done seed treatment can be given by the simple, concentrated method without injury to the wheat. The following methods are recommended for use this year, but farmers are cautioned that it is necessary to follow directions closely. Concentrated Form aldehyde.

Thereby hangs this tale. The educator was sharing his stateroom on a Fail River boat with a pleasant gentleman who had otherwise slept on a cot in the open cabin, when, well along toward morning, he heard, coming from the upper berth, sounds of gagging and gargling and moaning. Jumping up and switching on the light he saw his acquaintance was suffering greatly. His chin was on his breast, his mouth rigidly open, his eyes tight closed and perspiration on his forehead. "Be calm, sir," cried Mr. Hadley. "I know Just what to do." Wrapping a towel around his thumbs to save them from the release, he clambered up beside the man, knelt by his shoulders, began to work the Jaw into its place—and then spent the rest of the night trying to explain himself 1 For it was only a case of nightmare. Another Understatement. In the Companion for May 9 there was a Joke entitled "Well Within Bounds," which has reminded a reader of an accident of her youth. We had a mean-tempered colt, she says, which we had all urged father to sell, but he would not. One morning when he was bedding down the animal it kicked him viciously. Several members of the family were in the barn, and they all ran to see if he had been hurt and to hear what he would say about such an unprovoked attack. Father, who, by the way, was not a Yankee, picked himself up, rubbed his yell-night fractured shin and remarked to the colt, "Well! Well! I'd think Just as much of you if you hadn't done that!" and then went on with his work.—Youth's Companion. No Older Than Your Pace, [a true in most cases.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Sept. i j 1918 C. J. SIBLEY IN ENGLAMD Somewhere in England, August 4, 1918. Dear Mo-her: Well at last we are in Europe, and i certainly seems good to be on hard land again, after the time we spent on that ship. Was scsick pari, o' the time, but it wasn't all the ocean' The~e was surh a si:kigh smell about .the *b'p ?"1 t'.ie feed was also si kish. We : bought it was good at i'hst, but that was oi\]y because of the change. We got the same tning evejy day. When we landed we had a 5 mile hike with full packs and the band had to play to boot. Maybe we weren't some s ff this morning. Don't expect to stay at this camp or^ly a day or so. How long we will stay in England I don't know and wouldn't be allowed to tell i? I d;d. Although this town is one of tie la'gest seaports in the world you should see the buildings. They remind me of the pictures I have seen of N:W England settlements in History. No buildings over five stories high and very few of those. Most all brick with slate roofs And funny old-fashioned chimneys. If it hadn't been so foggy we could have eeen some nice scenery the day before we landed. We could see the outlines of the mountains along the coast and once in a while a lighthouse showing up white through the fog. All we had for dinner the day we left the boat was hardtack, cheese and an apple. But we certainly made up for It at supper. We were issued enough Nations on the ship (canned goods) beef pork and beina, and herd tack. It tastlike a feast after what we bad been sued to on the boat The tents here are lots nicer thpn at Camp Mills; in fact, the whole camp is snore sanitary. It is located in; a sort of a park. Would like to look this town over as it seems awfully interesting. J3ut no soldiers are allowed out of camp except on official business The street cars (except the overhead «nts) are all of two decks and all have lady conductors.

This is the judgment of military observers at the war department. It is added that certain failure of the Germans to hold that part of the line, extending from a point opposite Rheims to Leon, will be due largely to American troops operating out of Flames. It was pointed out that British hav lng crossed the Hindenburg line east of CToisilles, the thrust that will make the line absolutely untenable, is that of Americans, which now is menacing that part of it east of Flsmes. The part the French are playing to bring about complete abandonment of the line is extension of their salient between Neale and Llcourt. This is the deepest salient that has been effected by any of the Allies or Americans since the counter-offensive of the mid-July days. It Is claimed that th« efficient work of the French in this salient, or to produce it, was done by the French without assistance from either British or Americana. South of Solssons,. however, in the last reported advance, Americans are forging ahead shoulder* to shoulder with the French. The French advance against the territory controlled by the Hindenburg line Is moat difficult. It is now fronted by forests, which as general rule, are harder to carry than entrenchments in the open. It Is realized that maintenance of the French advance in this salient is just as as* sential af the push of British to the north and Americans to the south but it was stated that the advance of Americans is the big factor at thli time. Strategists here are not willing to go any farther than to prophesy effacement of the Hindenburg line, Beyond that they say there Is a bit problem which will depend on veto forcement of the German decimated divisions. Military men seem to have bat one opinion of a veiled threat which U contained In an interview with the German Ueatenaatgasacal, Baron von Ardenne, which comes via Amsterdam, The' threat is that Germany has some* thing In reserve which Is to turn the present debacle into a new German offensive, The American mftttarv opinion is that the threat is: 1—Either a bold, colossal Muff; or, 1—The assumption that Germany will be able to force the Russians and other conquered aatlons to sand troops to the. battieflekl to save the WOMAN'S NEW FIELD ONE MILLION STRONG, SHE IS READY TO BOOM T H I FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. HER FORCES ALL MOBILIZED Remarkable Success in the Three Previous Loots Despite Unfamiliar. Ity With National Finance—Organization Reaches Every City and Village. Under the banner of the fourth Liberty loan are enlisted one million women. Like soldiers at attention they await the coming drive, ready to talk bonds and sell bonds and buy bond*. Kver since the first bugle call sounded the women have been mobilizing their forces. Through the National Woman's Liberty Loan committee oew vistas of activity were opened to the women of the country and marching through three loans along previously unexplored roads of national finance they have advanced to a significant place in the front lines of government endeavor. In May, 1917, the secretary of the treasury staked his belief in the patriotism and ability of the women of America. At that time he appointed the National Woman's Liberty Loan committee, the first and only executive committee of women in the history of the United States government. Two days after their appointments wens made eleven women met and made their plans In the treasury at Washington. These plans were the Inspiration for ah organization that has spread oil over the country, until today It reaches into every city, every town, every village and hamlet and crossroads. Fine Work or* Former Loan*. When the first loan was announced the committee decided that the work done by Its members during that campaign should be directed toward general aid In the districts rather than to Intensive organization work of women, Nevertheless, in the two weeks allotted to them, women from coast to coast rallied to the colors. In this short time the women in the New York district raised more than eight minions of dollar*; the waroen of Pittsburgh raised one-third «f that city's large subscription, excluding corporations ; New England's hastily gathered group of women swelled the bulk of the returns; and the women of southern California outdid the rest of the country by establishing a ratio of seven women to every three men buying Liberty bonds. The original plan of the committee had to meet two conditions. The federal reserve districts were the nnlt of financial organization but the states were the unit of the women's organizations. These two hRd to be correlated. Hundreds of Thousands Are Helping. To accomplish this two sets of chairmen were appointed, twelve to the various federal reserve districts and 49 to the states and the District of Columbia. The federal reserve chairmen a*t regarded as ambassadors to the federal reserve banks rather than organization promoters. Under the direction j>f the state chairmen, the national organization has been evolved, so that in the second loan sixty thousand women were working as fiscal agents of the government, and in the third loan over five hundred thousand women were augmenting subscriptions. This new field of endeavor has revolutionized the American women: Wfth one million women making house-tohouse canvasses, working In booths in department stores, making automobile campaigns, and talking bonds from every street corner, the old" Idea has been eliminated that the American woman li a pampered, parasitic pet. The machinery of the National Women's Liberty Loan committee is already in action for the fourth liberty loan, and in every federal reserve district and In every state the million workers stand ready to fusillade with their energy and patriotism the ammunition stores of wealth for the fighting men of the nation.

They gave him more votes than were cast for Henry Ford in both partiea, and they gave him practically as many votes as were cast for both Ford and Osborn in the Republican party. The latest returns ahow the commander falling back slightly in the count against the combined vote of his adversaries. In 2,002 precincts out of 2,187, total for the state, he receives 105,121; Ford 66,050 and Osborn 40,771. Ford and Osborn totals 106,821. Gov. Albert B. Sleeper and Ueut.- Oov.

Just a* he finished speaking, the weleome **pup-pup" of a machine gun In their rear rang out, and the front line of the onrushing Germans seemed to melt away. They wavered, but once again came rushing onward. Down went their second line. The machine gun was taking an awful toll of lives. Then again they tried to advance, but the machine gun mowed them down. Dropping their rifle* and bomb*, they broke and fled in a wild rush back to their trench, amid the cheers of "D" company. They were forming again for another attempt, when In the rear of D company came a mighty cheer. The ammunition had arrived and with It a battalion of Scotch to re-enforce them. They were saved. The unknown machine gunner had come to the rescue In the nick of time. With the re-enforcements it was an easy task to take the third German line. After the attack was over, the captain and three of his noncommissioned officers, wended their way back to the position where the machine gun had done Its deadly work. He wanted to thank the gunner in the name of D company for his magnificent deed. They arrived at the gun, and an awful sight met -their eye*. Lloyd had reached the front line trench, after his company had left it. A strange company was nimbly crawling up the trench ladders. They were reenforcements going over. They were ftcotties, and they made a magnificent sight In their brightly colored kilts and bare knees. Jumping over the trench, Uoyd raced across "No Man's Land,", unheeding the rain of bullets, leaping over dark forms on the ground, some of which lay still, while others called out to him as he speeded past He came to the German front line, but It was deserted, except for heaps of dead and wounded—a grim tribute to the work of his company, good old D company. Leaping trenches, and gasping for breath, Lloyd could see right ahead of him his company in a dead-ended sap of a communication trench, and across the open, away in front of them, a mass of Germans preparing for a charge. Why didn't D company fire on them? Why were they so strangely silent f What were they waiting for) Then he knew—their ammunition was exhausted. But what was that on his right? A machine gun. W*y didn't It open Are aadsnvetham? Ba w<mld jnaS* that gun's crew do their duty. Rushing over to the gun he saw why it had not opened firs. Scattered around It* base lay six still forms. They had brought their gun to consolidate the captured position, but a German machine gun bad decreed they would never fire again. Lloyd rushed to the gun and, grasping the traversing bandies,,trained It on the Germans. He pressed the thumb piece, but only a sharp click was the result The gun was unloaded., Then he realised his helplessness. TBe did not know bow to load the gun. Oh, why hadn't he attended the machinegun c o m e to Buglandr He'd been o«ere4 the chlaiee, but with a brash of shame he remembered that he had been afraid. The nickname of the machine gunners had frightened him. They were called the "Suicide club.'* Now, because of this fear, his company would be destroyed, the men of D company would have to die, because he, Albert Lloyd, had been afraid of a name. In his shame he cried like a baby. Anyway he could die with them and, rising to his feet, he stumbled over the body of one of the gunners, who emitted a faint moan. A gleam of hope flashed through him. Perhaps this man eould tell him how to load the gum Stooping over the body he gently shook it and the soldier opened his eyes. Seeing Lloyd, he closed them again and, in a faint voice, said: "Get away, you blighter, leave me alone. I don't want any coward around me." The words cut Lloyd like a knife, but he was desperate. Taking the revolver out of the holster of the dying man he pressed the cold muzzle to the soldier's head and replied: "Yes, It is Lloyd, the coward of Company D. but so help me God, If you don't tell me how to load that gun m put a bullet through your brain!" A sunny smile came over the countenance of the dying man and he said In a faint whisper: "Good old boy! I knew you wouldn't disgrace our company " Lloyd Interposed: "For God's sake, If you want to save that company you are so prond of, tell me how to load that d d gun!" As if reciting a lesson in school, the soldier replied In a weak, singsong voice: "Insert tag end of belt in feed block, with left hand pull belt left front. Pull crank handle back on roller, let go, and repeat motion. Gun is now loaded. To fire, raise automatic safety latch, and press thumbplece. Gun ts now firing. If gun stops, aacertaln position of crank handle—" But Lloyd waited for no more. With wild joy at his heart, he took a belt from one of the ammunition boxes lying beside the gup, and followed the dying man's Instructions, Then he pressed the thumbplece and a burst of fire rewarded bis efforts. The gun was working. Training It on the Germans be shouted for Joy as their front rank went down. Traversing the gun back and forth along the mass of Germans, he saw them break and run back to the cover of their trench, leaving their dead and wounded behind. He had saved his company, he, Lloyd, the coward, had "done his bit" Releasing the thumbpiece, he looked .at the watch on his wrist He was still alive at "fr&a." "Ping r—a bulled sang through the air, and Lloyd fell forward across the gun. - A thin trickle of blood ran down bis face from a little, black round hole In his forehead. "The sentence of the court had been ••duly carried out" The captain slowly raised the limp form drooping over the gun and, wiping the blood from the white face, recognised it as Lloyd, the coward of D company. Reverently covering the face with his handkerchief he turned to bis "noncoms" and, in a voice husky with emotions, addressed them: "Boys, lt*s Lloyd, the deserter. He has redeemed himself, died" the. death of a hero—died that hi* mates might live." That afternoon a solemn procession wended Its way toward the cemetery. In the front a stretcher was carried by two sergeants. Across the stretcher the Union Jack was carefully spread. Behind the stretcher came a captain and forty-three men, all that were left of D company. Arriving at the cemetery, they halted in front of an open grave. All about them wooden crosses were broken and trampled into the ground. A grizzled old sergeant., noting this destruction, muttered under his breath; "Curse the cowardly blighter who wrecked those crosses I If I could only get these two hands around his neck his trip West would be short" The corpse on the stretcher seemed to move, or It mtght have been the wind blowing the folds of the Union Jack. CHAPTER XXV. Preparing for the Big Push. Rejoining Atwell after the execution I had a hard tlrae trying to keep my secret from him. I think I must have lost at least ten pounds worrying over the affair. Beginning at seven in the evening It was our duty to patrol all communication and front-line trenches, making note of unusual occurrences, and arresting anyone who should, to us, appear to be acting in a suspicious manner. We slept during the day. Behind the lines there was great activity, supplies and ammunition pouring in, and long columns of troops constantly passing. We were preparing for the big offensive, the forerunner of the battle of the Somme or "Big Push." The never-ending stream of men, supplies, ammunition and guns pouring into the front lines made a mighty spectacle, one that cannot be described. It has to be witnessed with your own eyes to appreciate Its vastness. At our part of the line the influx of supplies never ended. It looked like a huge snake slowly crawling forward, never a hitch or break, a wonderful tribute to the system and efficiency of Great Britain's "contemptible little army" of Ave millions of men. Huge fifteen-Inch guns snaked along, foot by foot, by powerful steam tracttors. Then a long line of "four point five" batteries, each gun drawn by six horses, then a couple of "nine point two" howitzers pulled by immense caterpillar engines. When one of these caterpillars would pass me with Its mighty monster In tow, a flush of pride would mount to my face, because I could plainly read on the name plate, "Made In U. S. A.," and I would remember that if I wore a name plate It would also read, "From the U. 8. A." Then I would stop to think how thin and straggly that mighty stream would be If all the "Made In U. S. A." parts of It were withdrawn. Then would come hundreds of Umbers and "G. S." wagons drawn by sleek, well-fed mules, ridden by sleek, well-fed men, ever smiling, although grimy with sweat and covered with the fine, white dust of the marvelously well-made French roads. What a discouraging report the German airmen must have taken back to their division commanders, and this stream is slowly but surely getting bigger and bigger every day, and the pace is always the same. No slower, no faster, but ever onward, ever forward. Three weeks before the big push of July 1—as the battle of the Somme has been called—started, exact duplicates of the German trenches were dug about thirty kilos behind our lines. Bloodhounds In Ancient Days. In Old England, before the day when men could write, banting was an important factor in providing meal' for the family table. The bloodhound was held by a strong rope, and the dog would go ahead of the nan .and the animal, with nose to the ground, would* sturdiest could survive under sues > • . ; • * £ *<* > . - • . **TT»> <r-.'. > » J v KKs**: HMr£$L*£&£ •*fc* , » S-* - t % < * - ^ • - ' . « • * • ; *"M • » * • -*. *•*'-.: h * - follow the scent of a deer and track It to a thicket The dog was then taken in a circle around the thicket to tod whether the deer had made an exit ©u the other side. If no trace was found the game was then said to be harbored. Then the deerhounds, of the greyhound type, that hunt by sight only, were brought up by the huntsmen and the race was on.. The bloodhounds never entered the race. The layout of the trenches was taken from airplane photographs submitted by the Koyal flying corps. The trench* es were correct to the foot; they showed dugouta, saps, barbed wire defenses and danger spots. Battalions that were to go over in the first waves were sent back for three days to study these trenches, engage In practice attacks and have night maneuvers. Each man was required to make a map oft the trenches and familiarize himself with the names and location of ttiejmrts his battalion was to attack. In the American army noncommit* sioned officers are put through a course of map making or road sketching, and during my six years' service In the United States cavalry I had plenty of practice in this work, therefore mapping these trenches was a comparatively easy task for me. Each man had to submit bis map to the company commander to be passed upon, and ] was lucky enough to have mine selected as being sufficiently authentic to use in the attack. No photographs or maps are allowed to leave France, but In this case It appealed to me as a valuable souvenir of the great war and I managed to smuggle it through. At this time It carries no military importance as the British lines, I am happy to say, have since been advanced beyond this point, so In having it in my possession I am not breaking any regulation or cautions of the British army. The whole attack was rehearsed and rehearsed until we heartily cursed the one who had conceived the idea. The trenches were named according to a system which made it very simple for Tommy to find, even In the dark, any point in the German lines. These imitation trenches, or trench models, were well guarded from observation by numerous allied planes which constantly circled above them, No German airplane could approach within observation distance. A restricted area was maintained and no civilian was allowed within three miles, so we felt sure that we had a great surprise In store for Frits.

Winter, In the Chris tlan Herald, PROPER HANDLING OF EGGS Enormous Loss Can Be Prevented by Taking Necessary Precautions in Marketing. (Prepared by the United Statea Department or Agriculture.) Millions of eggs produced in this country feed no one. The natural question is, Why? And the answer is that they are carelessly handled, poorly packed in Improperly constructed cases, badly stored in freight care, or allowed to become warm on their Journey from the hen's nest to* the home. Prevent this enormous loss of valuable food and loss of profits. Take every possible precaution to keep eggs fresh and wholesome, us they are when Wrong and Right Way Eggs. of Packing freshly laid. It's easy to get eggs to market In prime condition. A stale egg pleases no one. Heat Is the egg's enemy; cold Is its friend. Precooling eggs before shipping them, therefore, saves food material. It checks the development of "bloodrings." which occur in fertile eggs subject to Incubating temperature (88 degrees or higher). It prevents "addled" eggs, the term applied to eggs when the membrane between the yolk and the white breaks, allowing the two to become mixed. When the eggs are warm this delicate membrane becomes soft, - In which condition It la more liable to break by jars which are unavoidable In transportation. Chilling makes the eggs stiff and Jellylike, and cold eggs ride best. Precooling retards evaporation, the cause of shrunken eggs. Eggs Just laid are full, but 66 per cent of their contents Is water. As this water evaporates, the quality of the eggs is reduced. Warm temperatures aid evaporation. Precooling helps to make a uniform product, and this is a day of standardisation. A weak-spot tn the egg trade Is the lack of uniformity or standardization for its product. If each case of eggs received at the market was exactly like the last one, the shipper could establish a reputation for uniformity. Eggs to be shipped should be well packed In clean, standard egg cases. They should be kept under refrigeration and sent to market In properly iced refrigerator cars which retain their good quality. Refrigeration during transit maintains quality, weight, fresh appearance and food value. It retards loss of quality, shrinkage* "blood-rings" and loss Of food value.

ATA AMERICAN families would have less sugar than the people of war torn France, if we depended entirely on our home-grown sugar stocks. Approximately 75 per cent, of our sugar is shipped to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar a year. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,- 000 tons a year in normal times. The United States Food Administration asks each family to limit its use of sugar to two pounds per month per person for household use. The military situation demands that every available ship be placed &\ the disposal of the Army or Navy, When we save sugar, we save shipping. r South Iosco Charlie Rutman who has been sick for the last three months is much b e t - ter.

From the top of the town hall the tri-coior flattered lustily in the evening brews, proclaiming deliverance of the d t y where Charlemagne was crowned; where Calvin was born; where the Merovingians once held sway, and and where this summer the Kaiser's generals, over French Champagne, were fixing the day for the fall of Paris. Thirty-six miles to the northwest. In the shambles that was once the flourishing city of Bapaume, French women and children and old men who for nearly half a year have been slaves of the Invader, kissed the hands of husky "rtmmUti* and babbled nebbing thanks tor the Liberation of the town where France, in 1871, suffered one of her wont defeats.

The French, before Ham, are some XI miles southwest of St Quentin. The British army which links up with the French east of Chaulnes is little more away from it The British stand on the west bank of the Somme opposite Brie and Po. ronne, while the French have pushed their lines up to the western embankment of the canal Du Nord, where only two miles of front, between Catigny and Sermalse is still stubbornly defended by the Teutons. Pressing eastward from Noyon, the French bit themselves into the western slopes of Mont Simeon. They captured Landrieourt and Morllncourt, the Paris war office was able to announce. On the southern end of the battle line the French, aided by Americans, creased the Attette at many places north and south of Champs, overcoming fierce German resistance, Guny and Pont St. Mard were captured. The New Zealanders who captured Bapaume didn't stop a second. They dashed straight through and beyond he shell-battered town. The heaviest fighting rages around Vraucourt four miles northeast, and in front of Haplincourt, Jour miles to the east Four and a half miles to the northwest of Peronne, the British have captured the little town of Hem, not to be confused with Bam, one of the strong points In Lodendorff's stopgap Line.

L&ndia here late August 30. Ten-year sentences were Imposed on 33 of the organisation's leaders, five-year sentences on 33, one year and one day on 12 defendants and 10- day sentences on two others.

Nebeker, chief proaecutor. "We are confident a new trial will be granted," said George F. Vanderveer, chief counsel for the defense. "In times of peace you have a legal light to oppose, by free speech, preparations for war. But when war has been declared that right ceases forthwith," was the court's closing remarks. Deep Silence In Court Room There was a deep silence in ths courtroom as Haywood and his 14 chief assistants were called before the bar. As "Big Bill" arose from his seat, a group of women who had been weeping, started a mild ovation which was quickly silenced. George Andreytchine, the young Russian poet whose stormy career since his exile from Russia for plot, ting a revolution is an outstanding phase of the t. W.

[priees Washlnffton, Aug. 7.—Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, who has in the past year kept in close touch with the Food Administration, especially in the lines of Its activities which affected sugar beets or other phases of the* western agricultural production, and whose co-operation haa been of great value in dealing with western food questions, recently made the following comprehensive statement: The Food Administration is an emergency organization that has lived up to its war-obligations to the fullest extent. Before It lay tha tremendous task of so managing the Nation's food supply that we a t home here would have eacragh, while we fed our armed forces and the Allies. How well it has accomplished that task, is proved by the fact that our cause is going on to ultimate triumph in Europe, a triumph, that would have been Impossible without t h e aid extended from those shores by shipment of food. Although there has been some,criticism of the Food Administration in the Senate, there has boon no word of criticism concerning the manner in which it has furnished food to the Allies, which was our country's greatest war oWigAtioiL No one can doubt m i • - n » m i. ii that it has succeeded. H a d our Teo* pie consumed wheat as they were accustomed to in normal times there would have been only from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 bushels for export a s tht surplus of the 1917 crop. Instead, we have already sent nearly 150,000,000 bushels, and before the 1918 crop is available it is hoped that this figure will stretch to 170,000,000. This e x ' cess has been saved by the people of the country, as a result of the food, conservation campaign, and It has been the absolute salvation of the Allies. Before the war the United States had almost ceased to be a food-ex. porting nation, while the nations of Shirope imported heavily. This coun* try then supplied about 10 per cent of their food deficit. In 1917 it supplied about 50 per cent, although the food reserves of our nation had been dr&ined by the demands of other war years and the crop was slightly de*' flcient. From t h e 1918 crop, unless shipping facilities increase more rapidly than the public pronouncement of today would indicate, the United States may be called upon to supply more nearly 100 per cent of the Allied food deficit. This may have to be done at a time when millions of our young men have been taken from the farms for the Army and waMndustries. It is likely that we shall be this year at the peak of agricultural production and that next year will see a fall, because of lack of labor at home. In that case we shall be doubly in need ol such management of our food resources as the Food Administration has proved it can give us. Measured in terms of nutritive or life-sustaining, value, the 1917 crop was 7 por cent below normal. Had this decrease amounted to 15 or 20 per cent there could be no question, that the Allied countries would have been lost. We escaped by that narrow margin. In 1919 we must escape again—and by a wider margin- Exportation of all meat for the calendar year 1917 totaled 1,694,242,- 000 pounds. The per capita consumption in this country for 1917 was 159.8 pounds, as compared with 167.8 pounds for 1916. In short, the differ. ence of 8 pounds per person, due largely to the food-conservation propaganda, aggregated almost one-half our total exportations to the Allied countries. Thepe is no doubt that, no matter how abundant the 1918 crop may be, we should build up a reserve, both here and on the other side of the Atlantic against possible lean years to come. Recently we nave been laying by a small meat reserve abroad. The effect upon the "morale of the French and British people that oomee from knowledge that the United States is building u p even a small stock as a surplus Is Incalculably good.

Mrs. Floyd Reason, Dear Friend:—- I suppose you will be much surprised ' to hear from me. I am well and having a good time. We are at a little town called St. Oignon. Will you give me Clare's ad- -dress so 1 can look him up if he is near me? We were twelve days coming over. I t certainly was a grand trip. We h&d all the eats we wanted and also there were two or three stores on the boat so Vie could buy anything we wanted. The last day, the day we were conning in, we could see land in the distance and the sun going down behind the mammoth cliffs. The band was playing and you could hear it miles. The water was smooth and calm. It was certainly fine. 1 guess that will be all for this time. How is everything around Pinckney? Sincerely yojrs, Louis J. Harris. 255 Casual Co. A. E. F. P. S. Please excuse my poor writing a s I am writing on a board. L. J. H. Tuesday, July 13,1.)18 Dear Dad and all: Have been somewhat bu»y for a short time and so could not write a;; often as I wished but as it is now stock will write whenever I possibly can. Everything here is fine and at present am enjoying the best of health. Surely this finds you all the same. How is everything around homa? I suppose everything is g> ing the s a n e as usual. Are you finding any difficulty in getting farm help this summer? Who is working your farm? The division Cass Clinton is in is on the .Swiss border, about 120 miles from here and if they mix it they will undoubtedly come to this hospital, and if to I will see lots of fellows I know from Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. as the units are in the 32nd Division. The outfit .from Ypsi is the one I wanted to join when I was in Ypsi but you wouldn't let me. Weather here has been fine until just a couple of days ago when we started to get some rain. It is still misty, damp and cool. This hospital is now about ready to evacuate patients BO we will probably be filled up again soon with fresh ones. They sure did keep us busy in the fluoroscopic room locating shrapnel and machine gun bullets but ifronly took four dayB of 11 to 16 hours each to do it and believe me sleep was welcome. The Fourth passed and was celebrated by all, even myself. Parades and speeches • in the morning, baseball in the aifternoon, and a'good show at night put on by Base 15. So you tee we had fairly good time, even if we are so far away. Furloughs are on agan and expect to go to Aix-les-Bains the fust part of A u g u s t for seven days. Heard from Norb Lavey and he is fine. If nothing happens we will have our furlough together. You can bet wc will enjoy that. Weil, business i ciming in but no money. Most r.l!

I am feeling fine. We are in a resting camp and having a fine time. We have plenty to eat and a fair place to sleep in. We are in the southern part of France and it is rather w arm here. The French people are dandy to us. We have lots of wine to drink but not much water. The water here is mostly surface water and the drinking water is'scar^e and we have to economize it. The French are very kind to us; they would go hungry for us and e^very old man that can put one foot^before the other is doipg something to help the government. All families have fathers sons and brothers in the army and they feel pretty bad. Well' we had a fine trip and had no trouble at all. I would not lose the views for anything. I came through Englang nesr where mother was born. I will tell you about the-sights there when 1 get home. I think we will be home for Christmas dinner the way things look now. The papers that you get are telling the truth they seemed kind of fishy to us before we knew how things were, but things are coming fine now. Well, this is about all for this time, so good bye.

To Our Subscribers The newspapers of the country are now under government control and the commission appointed haa announced that all weekly newspapers must hereafter require cash payment in advance and must also cut off any free papers that may have been sent heretofore. These measures seem somewhat draat'c but the newspapers have no option in the matter and must obey or take the aame consequences that are now being handed out to the violators of the food regulations. This is a war measure and is intended for the conservation of paper. The Dispatch must, therefore ask all w.io are in arrears to pay their back sub- Bc-inthn before October first, otherwise WJ will be obliged to discontinue sending the paper, and wo sincerely hope we will not be forced to this last alternative. We have trier! - and we believe wiih some small success-- to make our paper r e i lable, and have been greatly encouraged by not only cheerful words of ap- Dro'tttien but financially as well. So if yovi are satisfied with our effort please pay up and allow us to avoid the unpleasant duty of cutting you f:om the subscription list. To those who have already paid this does not apply, but there are a few (and some of o'-ir be.^t friends among them) who have bc«n somewhat can If se about the matter and are in arrears.

The Branch House is the place in the packing organisation where what the packing plant does for you is put where you can use it. Both are the natural result of growth and development in the living thing they belong to. Swift & Company Branch Houses are located in distributing centers all over the country. They are fitted out with refrigerating equipment to keep meat cooj, sweet and fresh. Each one is in p arsonal charge of a man who believes in what Swift & Company is doing for people and wants to help do it They are directed by men who have spent years learning how to get better meat cheaper to the places where it is needed Meat is shipped to the branch houses direct from the packing plants in Swift & Company's refrigerator cars, in such quantities that it can be disposed of while fresh and sweet Your meat dealer comes here to buy your meat for yoa—unless someone else can treat him better then we can. So you need the branch house in order to live well; and the branch house and the packing plant need each other,in order to be useful to you. Swift & Company, U. S. A. SMfSGM LESSON (By Rev. V. B.

The Disciple's Relation to the World (Matt 5:13-16). Christ saves with a definite purpose. The character of the subjects of the Kingdom is set forth in the Beatitudes. He gives a character which wiil wield an influence. The whole mass of mankind is shown in the Scriptures to be corrupt, and the whole world in darkness. The disciples are to live such lives as will purify and enlighten. Their responsibilities are set forth under the figures-of salt, light, and I city. 1. "Ye are the salt of the earth" (v. 13). Salt is that which is opposed to corruption. It prevents the progress of corruption. The properties of salt are (1) Penetrating; (2) Purifying; (8) Preserving. Being salt, the disciples of Christ should penetrate, purify, and preserve society. Seeing on every hand the festering corruption of humanity, our responsibility is clearly set before us. The Christian should not go into seclusion. He should remain In the world, but not be a part of it. Let us he sure that as salt we do not lose our saltness. Christians cannot do good after they cease being good. 2. "Ye are the light of the world" (v. 14). Light illuminates and warns, Its gift is guidance. This world is cold and dark. Many are the^pttfalis and snares set by the devil. Christians should so live, let their light so shine, ns to prevent the unwary ones from falling into them. They should guide the lost ones of earth so that they may find the path that leads back home to the Heavenly Father's house. 3. The city set on a hill (v. 14). By a city is suggested a governmental and social order. Christian character and service should be so as to give the influence of the hill-lifted city. Christianity was not intended to be hidden, but to be made so conspicuous ns not to be hidden, the grand objective being1 to glorify God the Heavenly Father (v. 1G). II. The Disciples' Commission (Matt. 28:18-20). 1. What it is (v. 18). It is to teach, to make disciples. Christ's death on the cross and triumphant resurrection provided salvation for the world. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). This great fact must be proclaimed to the world.

Since he Is with those who go the enterprise cannot fail. Opposition of the devil, sickness and death cannot thwart, because it is backed by divine energy. 4.

BRITISH AND FRENCH ARMIES CONTINUE TO CUT THEIR WAY INTO FOE LINES London—Just a month ago the real "battle of 1918" crashed loose with Rawlinson's stunning blow to the Teu ton army facing Amiens. Up to that date, Foch's campaign, begun July 1$, had ben a counter offensive. Every hour since, Germans have been withdrawing, retreating, fleeing, with the Allied line of attack gradually spreading to a front of 140 miles,' from Ypres to the west of Rheimis. | Lately the great German retreat be-! gan to show signs of a halt. The ene-; my has his back to the wall, a breach j of which will send him staggering j back to the Me use and the Belgian ! frontier. Indications are he means to avert, or at least stave off, such a dig-' aster to his armies of invasion. I The German center stands east of the line St. Emille-Villeveque, front Ing the St. Quentia-Le Catelet sectorj of the "wall of fate." Both, places are In British hands. Driven Back Hard in Month. As an illustration of what has happened within the last 30 days, it should j be said, at Villeceque Germans are • nearly 37 miles east of Amiens. An j August 8 they stood -east of Corbie, only a little more than 10 miles from that great Allied base. ' As this glorious month of the Allied triumphal march winds up, the British, French and Americans are hammering forward, but from a clean pursuit the campaign is changing into a new battle, in which "the foe apparently means to defend every foot In a desperate delaying combat. Allies Continue to Pierce Lines, British rtad French armies continue to cut their way into German lines on various sectors of the lower part of the battle line In France. Notwithstanding the bad weather which has caused a slackening in violence of operations, Field Marshal j Haig's forces greatly encroached upon Cambrai and St. Quentin, while farther south French armies are pressing eastward on the old Noyon seetor toward Le Fere and Laon and northward from SoisBons in auxiliary, maneuvers with the same objectives in view. Americans Gain Additional Ground. Between the Vesle and the Aisne rivers, where American troops are lighting with the French, additional ground has been gained by Allied forces. The British are standing at Villeveque, six miles fron S t Quentin, having carried out an advance over a 20- mile front on the general line of Epehy, Hesbecourt and Vermand. To the north the greater part of the Havrlncourt wood, one of the German strong points barring the way to Cambrai, also has ben captured. So Tapid has been the British advance along this portion of the front they are in positions they held before the big German drive of last March. Teutons Fear Tanks. With the Americans, South of the Aisne—Despite Ludendorff's statements concerning inefficiency of tanks, concrete proof exists of the enemy's fear of the mobile- fortleta. Thus, instructions issued by General von Stein to the troops opposing General Mangin'a army, orders them to ignore Franco-American Infantry and artillery and everything else except tanks and cavalry, and to employ every weapon against them. Germane to Make Stand. Furthermore, the German line la falling- back toward a aeries of defensive centers each of which is pro* tected by rivers and canals which La* dendorff believe may hold up the It is now clear chief bulwarks to which the Germans are retiring and where they may try for a definite Stand are Douei, Cambrai, Le Catelet, S t Quentin. La Fere and Leon. Thence to the southeast there is difficult uphill country Intersected by tavines and flanked hy the Aisnelilete canal, on wales Gerntans are trying to make a steady To the east, Germans hare the Aisne as 4 harrier heyond the north of Bhelatf. Although the canals for the meet part are dried up, the) locks being eat, ant! *'" i t r beds being dried up dc time, the wM« deeo ditches are believed to offer difficulties to tanks. The Chemin-des-Dames does not of fer much trouble to tanks, but the country approaching It from the west is not open and rolling, as was that across which Nivelle launched his great frontal attack In April, 1917. The Ailette offers good rear guard protection if the Chemiu-des-Dames fails. Prizes for Tank Snipers. Thus, despite Ludendorff's medals and money prizes for anti-tank Bnlpers, it is evident Germans have a wholesale respect for the monsters. It Is true tanks have been knocked out, but so have aeroplanes. - Since the incessant battering began on July 18, the nerves of the enemy's infantry have been badly shattered, and often It breaks away and flees at the tanks' approach. Ludendorff has, therefore, selected a defensive system apart from the Hindenburg line which he hopes will be impervious to tank assaults. However, infantry can always be used to breach any line, creating salients trirough which tanks may be pitched into the attack. Turks Make Peace Feeler. Amsterdam.—"All our enemies, including America, will shortly recognise that there is no sense in continuing the war." Talaat Pasha, Turkish minister of interior, is quoted by the Vienna Neue Frele Zeitung as having made this statement In an interview, and as adding that he was convinced "favorable conditions for peace will arise before winter." The Turkish statesman's alleged de deration in Itself is regarded here as merely another opening gun in the carefully prepared "peace or armistice before winter" campaign of the Can tral powers. His allusion to America, which ho includes among "our enemies," has caused a mild sensation in diplomatic circles because of this manifest offense to a nation that has displayed such long suffering patience toward Turkey, stanuhly resisting strong pressure at home for a declaration of war. Allies Can Strike From East Vladivostok.—The Japanese military staff has been informed that the Csecho-Slovaks hold the railway from Olovyanna to Penza. It Is now apparent that the unexpected climax in the Czechoslovak break through was due partly to the Allied -advance toward Khabarovsk, which caused transfer of a large Bolshevik force from Lake Baikal toward Khabarovsk, and.the weakened front collapsed under Czezcho pressure from the west and General SemenofTs pressure from the east. The opportunity is now presented for the Allies to take advantage of the strategical points in the hands ot the Czechs to move into the heart of Russia, where considerable reinforcements from loyal Russian elements are certain, and striking a stunning blow at Germany. It is believed Germany will make the greatest sacrifice.* to hold conquered Russian territory.

That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to be found in its increased use, the recommendation by prominent physicians, and our assurance that its standard will be maintained. Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Castoria that Mr. Fletcher created.

It has only been grown for one year in this county, a length of time insufficient to prove* its merit, as no wheat should be endorsed or condemned on one years trial. Some varieties of the winter wheats have outyieldcd Red Rock Wheat in this cr.ir.'y. The highest yield coding t o my notice being 26 bushels per acre. i::u highest yield of Red Rock wheat being 24 .bushels, with a number of fields averaging about 15 bushels p e r acre. Figures have been received from Allegan Counr.y which has been raising Red Reck Wheat for three years. Last year, 1917, the average yield per acre in 16 townships in which it was grown was 29 bushels per acre; with a number of fields yielding forty bu3he Is and one farm with a record of fifty bushel per acre. Figures have not been tabulated for this year's yield but yields have been obtained as high as 45 bushels per acre. In St. Joseph County a few fields have yielded as high as 40 bushels per acre. On the other hand a number of fields of this wheat was 30 badly winter killed to be held in November; the Knights of r that it was dragged up, and otherg Columbus, Salvation Army and Jewish gave yields of only a few bushels per Relief fund combined drive was to have j acre.

WAR MATERIAL HEADS LIST Other Classes 8o Ntir Together That Line Drawn By Priorities Is Hsrdry to Be Considered. Washington—The priority division of the war industries board has compiled a new priorities list which it declares to be "the master key governing the flow of basic industrial elements to the Industries essential to the war program." It supersedes all previous listing. Translated, it really means that the new priorities list is not only the guide for priority in the supply of raw material and in transportation, but is also the basis for guidance of local boards in exemption and deferred classification in the new draft, and the governing factor in the.distribution of labor, capital, facilities, material, transportation and fuel for the industries. War Needs Come First. It is explained that class 1, as fixed In this order, includes those industries deemed of "intrinsic importance of product for use during the war, and urgency," which, again translated,, means that the Industries listed a s class 1 will have all the advantages of priority orders in supply ot raw material, In the transportation of finished products, in the deferred classification of labor; In granting of loans or permission to increase capital stock or make bond Issues. The other classes, two. three and four, it is said, are so near together that the line drawn by the priorities order is hardly to be considered, and they are simplv reld, as a whole, above non-essential industries. The real priority list, the industries coming under class one, is as follows: Aircraft, ammunition, army and navy (arsenals rnd navy yards, cantonments and camps), are (small), blast furnaces (producing pig Iron),. chemicals (for war purposes), coke (for war purposes). Dome tic consumers (fuel and electric energy for residential vurposes, includin apartment h. u e j and hotels); explosives (for war purposes), feed, foe'., guns (large), mines (corl), oil and gas. public in t tutions and build 1 -?, railways, sv i maintenance, operation and shin: u Iding), steel making, furnaces, Eteel plate mills. 49 il i.

The ^Germans displayed signboards over the top 'of their trench showing the names that wo had called their trenches. The signs read "Fair." 'Tact/' "Fate," and "Fancy," and so on, according to the code names on our map. Then to, rub it In, they hoisted some more signs which read, "'Come on, we are ready, stupid English." It is still a mystery to me bow they obtained this knowledge. There had been no raids or prisoners taken, so it must have been the work of spies in out own lines. Three or four days before the big push we tried to shatter Fritz's nerves fey feint attacks, and partially succeeded as the official reports of July l show. Although we were constantly bombarding their lines day and night, still we fooled the Germans several times. This was accomplished by throwing an Intense barrage into his lines— then using smoke shells we would put a curtain of white smoke across No Man's Land, completely obstructing his view of our trenches, and would raise our curtain of fire a s If in an actual attack. All down our trenches the men would shout and cheer, and Fritz would turn loose with machine-gun, rifle, nnd shrapnel fire, thinking we were coming over. After three or four of these dummy attacks his nerves must have been near the breaking point. On June 24, 1916, at 9:40 In the morning our guns opened up, and hell was let loose. The din was terrific, a constant boom-boom-boom In your ear. At night the sky was a red glare. Our bombardment had lasted about two hours when Frits started replying. Although we were sending over ten shells to his one, our casualties were heavy. There was a constant stream of stretchers coming out of the communication trenches and burial parties were a common sight. In the dugouts the noise of the guns almost hurt. You had the same sensa- j tion as when riding on the subway you enter the tube under the river going to Brooklyn—a sort of pressure on the I ear drums, and the ground constantly ! trembling. ! The roads behind the trenches were very dangerous because Boche shrapnel was constantly bursting over them. We avoided these dangerous spots by crossing through open fields. The destruction In the German lines was awful and I really felt sorry for them because I realized how they must be clicking it. From our front-line trench, every now and again, we could hear sharp whistle blasts In the German trenches. t h e s e blasts were the signals for stretcher bearers, and meant the wounding or killing of some German In the service of his fatherland. Atwell and I had a tough time of it, patrolling the different trenches at night, but after awhile got used to i t My old outfit, the maehino gun company, was stationed in huge elephant dugouts about four hundred yards behlmd the front-line trench—they were in reserve. Occasionally I would stop in their dugout and have a confab with my former mates. Although we tried to be jolly, still, there was a lurking feeling of Impending disaster. Each man was wondering, It after the slogan, "Over the top with the best of lock," had been sounded, would he still be alive or would he be lying "somewhere In France." In an old dilapidated limits, thr walls of which were scarred with machine-gun bullets, Ho, 3 section of the machine gun company had Its Quarters. The company's cooks prepared the meals in this billet Oa the fifth •rsntaf of the bombardment A German etfattaeh shell registered a direct hit on the billet and wiped out tea men woo were asleep In the supposedly bomb-praof cellar. They were horied the next day and I attended the fttnefaL | On the afternoon of the eighth day of j our "strafeing," Atwell and I were sittrng In the front-line trench smoking fags and making out our reports of the previous night's tour of the trenches, 'vhlch we had to turn In to headquarters the following day, when an order was passed down the trench that Old Pepper requested twenty volunteers to go over on a trench raid that night to try and get a few German prisoners for Information purposes. I immediately volunteered for this Job, and shook hands with Atwell, and went to the rear to give my name to the officers in charge of the raiding party. I was accepted, worse luck. At 9;45 that night we reported to the brigade headquarters dugout to receive Instructions from Old Pepper. After reaching this dugout we lined up-in a semicircle around him, and he addressed us as follows: "All I want you boys to do Is to go over to the German lines tonight, surprise them, secure a couple of prisoners, and return immediately. Our artillery has bombarded that section of the line for two days and personally I believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied, so Just get a couple of prisoners and return as quickly as possible." The sergeant on my right, In an undertone, whispered to me: "Say, Yank, how are we going to get a couple of prisoners if the old fool CHAtTIR XXVI, AH Owlet (f) on the Wester* Front.

I-had a funny sinking sensation In my stomach, and,my tin hat felt as if it weighed about a ton and my enthusi* asm was melting away. Old Pepper must have heard the sergeant speak because he turned in his direction and in a thundering voice asked: "What did you sayT' The sergeant with a scarlet look oa bis face and his knees trembling, smartly sainted and answered; -Nothing, sir." Old Pepper said: "Well, don't say It so loudly the next time- Then Old Pepper continued: I n this section of the German trenches there are two or three ma* chine guns which our artillery, in the last two or three days, has been unable to tape. These guns command the sector where two of OUT communication trenches join the front line, and as the brigade is to go over the top tomorrow morning I want to capture two or three men from these guns' crows, and from them I may be able to obtain valuable information as to too exact location of the guns, and our artillery will therefore be able to demolish them before the attack, and thus prevent our losing a lot of men while using these communication trenches to bring np re-enforcements* These were the Instructions ho gave -Take off your Identification disks, strip your uniforms of aU numarala, Insignia, etc* leave your papers with yonr captains, becaoat I don't want the Bochos to know what ivgtsaents -are •jaunt theoi as this would bo veluaMa information to them la oar attack tossatrow and I dont want any of yon to he taken all ve. What I want to two prisoners and if I get them I have a way which will make theui divulge all necessary Information us to their guns. You have your choice of two weapons—you may carry your 'persuaders' or your knuckle knives, and each man will arm himself with four Mills bombs, these to be used only in case of emergency." A -persuader is Tommy's nickname for a club carried by the bombers. It is about two feet long, thin at one end and very thick at the other. The thick end is studded with sharp steel spikes, while through the center of the club there is a nine-inch lead bar, to give it weight and balance. When you get a prisoner all you have to do Is just stick this club up in front of him, and believe me, the prisoner's patriotism for "Deutschland ueber AHes" fades away and he very willingly obeys the orders of his captor. If, however, the prisoner gets high-toned and refuses to follow you, simply "persuade" him by first removing his tin hat, unci then— well, <he use of the lead weight in the persuader Is demonstrated, and Tommy looks for another prisoner. The knuckle knife Is a dagger affair, the blade of which is about eight inches long with a heavy steel guard over the grip. This guard Is studded with steel projections. At night In a trench, which Is only about three to four feet wide, it makes a very handy weapon. One punch in the face generally shatters a man's jnw and you can get him with the knife as he goes down. Then we had what we culled our "come-alongs." These are strands of barbed wire about three feet long, made into a noose at one end; at'the other end, the barbs are cut off and Tommy slips his wrist through a loop to get a good grip on the wire. If the prisoner wants to argue the point, why Just place the large loop around his neck and no matter if Tommy wishes to return "to-his tranches at the walk, trot, or gallop, Fritz is perfectly agreeable to maintain Tommys rate of 3peeu. v\Ve were ordered to black our faces and hands. For this reason; At night, the- English and Germans use what they call star shells, a sort of rocket affair. They are fired from a large pistol about twenty Inches long, which Is held over the sandbag parapet of the trench, and discharged Into the olr. These star shells attain a height of about sixty feet, and a range of from fifty to seventy-five yards. When they hit the ground they explode, throwing out a strong calcium light which lights up the ground in a circle of a radius of between ten to fifteen yards. They also have a parachute star shell which, after reaching a height of about sixty feet, explodes. A parachute unfolds and slowly floats to the ground, light-.. ing up a large circle In No Man's Land. The official name of the star shell Is a "Very-light." Very-lights are used to prevent night surprise attacks on the trenches. If a star shell falls In Beware of Losing Time. It's hard to make up lost time.

But if it fails behind you anil, as Tommy says, "you get in the isiur shell zone," then the fun begins; you have to He flat on your stomach and remain absolutely motionless until the light of the shell dies out. This takes anywhere from forty to seventy seconds. If you haven't time to fail to the ground you must remain absolutely still In whatever position you were in when the light exploded; it is advis able not to breathe, as Fritz has an eye like an eagle when he thiuka you ure knocking at his door. Wheu a srar shell is burning in Tommy's reur he can hold his breath for u week. You .blacken your face and hands so that the light from the star shells will not reflect on your pale face. In a trench raid there is quite sufficient reason for your face to be pale. If you don't believe me, try it Just once. Then another reason for blackening your face and hands is that, after you have entered the German trench at night, "white face" means Germans, "black face" English. Coming around a traverse you see a white face in front of you. With a prayer and wishing tYitz "the best o' luck," you Introduce him to your *jpersuader" or knuckle knife. A little later we arrived at the communication trench named Whisky street, which led to the fire trench at the point we were to go over the top and out in front. In our rear were four stretcher bearers and a corporal of the R. A. M. C. carrying a pouch containing medicines and first-aid appliances. Kind of a grim reminder to us that our expedition was not going to be exactly a picnic. The order of things was reversed. In civilian life the doctors generally come first, with the undertakers tag* ging in the rear and then the Insurance man, but in our case, the undertakers were leuding, with the doctor* trailing behind, minus the insurance adjuster.

The first Sunday the new gasoline regulations went into effect did not conserve gasoline to any great extent judging by the number of autos out driving that day. Last Sunday, however, the new edict was observed with more regard to the wishes of the fuel administration and the number of cars in use that day was greatly reduced. The idea of gasoline cards, by which the supply ot gasoline may be regulated on the Batne basis that sugar is now conserved, has many friends among the auto owners. This would give the owners of cars who do not have time to ride during the week an opportunity of taking some pleasure with their cars and if they wished to use the more rapid way of locomotion to go to church, the doctor's office or on a joy ride they would not be subjected to the humiliation of being classified with the slackers as is now ' the case. « The war regulatation as it now stands \ certainly favors the class who have \ plenty of leisure time to use their cars during the week.

Lyon The South Lyon Herald of Sept. 13 says: "Pinckney'a electric service is notoriously bad, but one unfortunant user has found a substitute. He hitches his flivver in front of a window and points the headlights into the house, then starts the motor with the lights on." A former resident of Pinckney who now lives in South Lyons, in a letter to a Pinckney resident, dated Aug. 14, 1918 says: "About the Electric Light service here will say it is a hard matter to compare such service as we get with what is furnished you people, as the Detroit Edison Co. furnishes us 54 hour .service from its^ plants at Dearborn and Geddes. Our minimum rate is 50 cents with 10 per cent discount if paid on or before t h e 15th of the m->nth,£ making it 45 cents.

If the war is not won next year several years may be required and a dreadful sacrifice of American soldiers will be called for. The opinion is frankly expressed at Washington that failure to win the war dlring the campoign ofl919 will cost not less than one million of American soldiers, above the tens of thousands we mu9t inevitably lose in the next year's fighting. "There is no doubt about the part our soldiers are going to play. The papers are filled with their magnificent successe i. If the people at home are to do their part, however, and give the soldiers a fair chance to win in 1919, they must strip to the bone, consider the war as their most important business individually, and be guided in every action by the influence of such action upon the winning of the war. "We must tafcte of real sacrifice and the quicker we reach that point the greater the number of lives of our soldiers will be preserved. "The task of the American people in the matter of foodstuffs is gigantic and were it not for the magnificent accomplishment of our people already we would not dare hope to attain what is expected of us. What we reed, and what we must have is greater production and greater economy in the use of food stuffs. In fact we get right down to the point where we must follow the Food Administration's motto of "waste nothing," while the producer must add to this, "produce more." Not only in foodstuffs must the American people economize. It is expected that we will have between 3,400,000 and 4,500,000 men in France early next summer, with a million or more under arms in this country. At the same time we must greatly increase tne number of workmen in shipyards, munition plants and other war industries. All of this means that there is to be an unprecedented drain upon the lsbor of the country. Non-essential industries mvst go. Women must take the place of men in some industries that are essential. In France 95 per cent of the agricultural work is being done bv women and children and the other 5 per cen by old men and wounded men. We 'shall not approach any such condition as this but patriotic women must voluntecrfor such positions as they can fill and men must be relieved wherever possible for the harder manual labor required in agriculture and the essential industries. "The 'Work or Fight' order of General Crowder applied to the new draft is going to woik wonders, but in this country we must depend upon voluntary patriotic effort and ^co-operation by every individual msn, women and children."

' REIMS CHILDREN PLAY W A R GAMES Emerge From Cellars, When Bombardment Ceases, to Frolic in Sun. All H M THE SAME SPIRIT Wo One Ever Saw One of the Children Down-Hearted or Discontented— Will Be Great Help in Rebuilding France. Tarts.—Only a few months Ago Reims still sheltered some 600 children, although the Germans almost dally bombarded the town. How these children lived In the cellars and the special shelters while the Germans fiercely bombarded the town Is a pathetic story. Though these cellars and shelters were dark, dreary and damp, where the sun's rays never once showed themselves, no one ever saw these children downhearted or discontented. Whenever the bombardment let up, even for a few minutes, these children swarmed out of the cold cellars to play in the sua. Duty and Resignation. A correspondent during one of these lulls walked down a narrow street bordered by the wails of houses of the sixteenth century, or such parts o- them as had survived the German bombardments. He met a youngster standing in the middle of the street gazing at one of the wrecked houses. Asked why he was gazing at that house, the boy answered: "That house over yonder, monsieur? I was born in that house. When war broke out father was mobilized and mother went to live with an aunt In one of the houses on the outskirts of the city. Once a week I come here to look at my old home, or what Is left of It." "But aren't you afraldT* "Afraid of what? My father is at the front, my mother Is still here, and as long as she stays here, I will." This "hllu li a type of all. All have the same spirit of duty and resignation, these children of "the Martyr City." They tell how they received Instructions to put on the masks against the ftoittoaou* gas; of how they playeii In shell holes filled with rainwater; of ^ow they used walls which had escapeWthe German shells to play their game of war. Play at War Games. Neiring the cathedral, almost completely gutted by the bombardment, the correspondent met a crowd of boys playing at their favorite game. He watched them for some time. Afte.- playing in quickly constructed trendies in one of the courtyards of a destroyed house, where they had ingeniously placed their toy machine guns, the attacking party was Just jumping out of their shelter when the gas alarm was sounded. All the boy* quickly donued their masks ujad con tinued playing, rather stimulated by the unforeseen reality of their game. So interested were they that they never thought of finding shelter, but bad to be ordered to do so by patrolling soldiers. But these things could not go on. The youngsters had too much free time, as all the schools were closed and days were wpent in holiday-making. The municipality established schools In the huge cellars of the big champagne houses of Reims. Every day the teacher had to go through the deserted streets u <1er heavy bombardment, and very often the school children bad to be kept In after hours when the town was being shelled. These children, having grown up unde." these conditions, will be a splendid help to France in rebuilding a nation of valiant citizens. BACK W I T H HER BOYS * - Joyful Welcome Given Mrs. Haring at the Front WOMEN AS FORESTERS "Godmother of the Polish Army" Greeted With Cheers by Officers and Men. Paris,—A woman alighted from the train at what remains of a little railroad station very close to the front. Her hair was a trifle gray but her cheeks were pink, aad she seemed to be very happy to be arriving in that place. Very soon the reason became apparent. A military policeman was on duty In the station. He stared and gave a shout, "Mrs. Harlng." "I got here at last" she said as she shook hands—a handshake such as Is exchanged between friends long separated. "You're going to be with us?" "As long as they let me." Mrs. Harlng went out and up the street, searching for the daily shifting headquarters of the Y. M. C. A.— for the war was moving with great rapidity since the new offensive began. An automobile containing a captain and three lieutenants stopped with a screaming of the brakes. Young men boiled out of the car to surround Mrs. Harlng as if she were the belle of the season. Another car stopped. More offl- WOUNDED YANKS IN A LONDON HOSPITAL These American soldiers are convalescing from wounds in a London hospital.

These women are showing themselves to be worthy successors of Britain's lumbermen. The felled trees in the back are a proof of that. cers. Around the edge privates lined up waiting their chance. From that moment hers was a triumphal progress up the street. It seemed as If the whole American army wanted to follow her. It was a happy party, a laughing, handshaking, congratulating party that surrounded the little Y. M. C. A. woman. She was back, back with the troops she had served and left for a time. They were doing their best to show hrr how glad they were to see her and were succeeding wonderfully. The record of Mrs. Augusta Harlng of New York city Is enviable. She Is a musician. It was she who, with MJss Myrtle Sanson of Greenfield, 0., organized the Y. M. C. A. work In the new Polish army, most of which was recruited In the United States. For four months she worked among these men—this array which will be without a country until the war la over and victory comes to the allies. Her proudest moment was when the commander of the Poles, In a public manner, bestowed on her the title of Godmother of the Polish Army. Beech Logs Resisted Decay. Beech logs that formed six hundred years ago the foundation of Winchester (Eng.) cathedral, have Just been uncovered. They were found to be In a sound condition after they had been exposed to water for almost six centuries. WAVES OF HATE FOR KAISER League of Optimists at Given Hour Dally Will Wish Dire Things for Huns. Chicago, HI.—A league of optimists has been organized In Chicago with the avowed purpose of beating- the kalsed by "waves of hate." Branches are to be formed in every part of the TJnfted States, according to Doctor Sheldon. Leavltt president of the league, who calls himself a "holy emotionalist."

D'ANNUNZIO GETS EVEN By WARD PRICE. ItaHao Headquarters at the Front —MaJ. Oabrlele d'Annunzio, Italy's poet-airman, who led the raid on Vienna, has carried out an adventurous personal reprisal for an Austrian night air raid during which one of the enemy machines dropped a bomb literally within yards of his sleeping quarters. The bomb did not explode, but its impact knocked over and broke a glass from which d'Annunzio had drunk an hour before. The soldier-poet gayly started off in the afternoon with his pilot In a new type of a fast, weight-carrying land machine, flew about one hundred miles straight across the Adriatic sea to Pola, the Austrian naval base, dropped 14 bombs on the arsenal and returned safely to his aerodrome. I was waiting there when he arrived amid a round of cheers from his* squadron. "There was a heavy barrage firs," he told us, "and once I thought our trail had been struck. But not a single one of the Austrian chaser machines got up after us. The Austrian! were very keen to get me, but they missed a good chance this afternoon.* D'Annunzio will wear henceforth in his flights an Ivory-hllted dagger. This weapon is the distinctive mark of the Italian storm troops, and all the eight airmen who -took part to the raid on Vienna have been named by their comrades T h e " Storm Troops of the Air."

"How beautifully you Rpeak." said Miss Giant Swallowtail admiring^ "Thank you, thank you," said Mr. Giant Swallowtail, as he shook his wings a little.

An orderly arrived at his quarters one day with Important dispatches^ which he deliered with a verbal message—this in \anguage that was rather unconventional, Judged by his rankl Sraith-Dorrien read the dispatches and dismissed the man with a reply that he would be ready to move in two hours.

Poultry H o u s e s Should Be Kept Clean and Well Sprayed With Good Disinfectants. PARASITES FOES TO WINTER EGGS Hens Annoyed by Lice and Mites or Weakened by Disease Are Unprofitable. CLEANLINESS IS FIRST AID Prevention Is Easier, Cheaper and More Reliable Than Cure—Use of Freshly Slaked Lime in the House Recommended. Before the flock goes into winter quarters every measure should be taken by the poultry keeper to Insure the health of the birds, according to the United States department of agriculture. Only healthy fowls^can be expected to produce eggs In winter. Well developed pullets and young hens should be kept for the winter laying flock, of course; but, no matter how well such birds are fed, If they are annoyed by lice and mites or weakened by disease, they will not be profltabre. Fowls are subject to a considerable number of diseases, some of which spread rapidly through the flock and cause a high mortality. They may also be Infested by various kinds of parasites, some of which live on the surface of the body and others In the crops, stomachT or intestines. These parasites are Injurious because they take a part of the nourishment which should be used by the bird to put on flesh or to produce eggs, and also because by their movements and their biting they cause irritation and inflammation of the parts which they attack. Germs and parasites which cause disease should be kept out of the flock by suitable preventive measures, because disease may be avoided much more easily and cheaply than it can be cured. The aim in studying the diseases of poultry is, therefore, to learn how to prevent such diseases rather than how to cure them. Cleanliness is the first and most important step In all measures for disease prevention. How to Prevent Disease. It is very important to start right and begin the flock with birds that are free from Illness and parasites, and to put such birds upon ground which Is likewise free from these causes of disease. If all the available ground has been recently used for poultry, tbe fowls should be removed from that part which la to be used for the new or winter flock, a good coating of freshly slaked lime should be applied to the entire surface of the ground, and a few days later it should be spaded or plowed. It may be cultivated three or four times with Intervals of a week and finally sowed with rye, or other grain. In a few months the greater part of the germs will be destroyed. Keep Premises Clean. In order to keep the flock in a healthy condition, tbe premises must be frequently-cleaned and occasionally disinfected. There are a number of reasons for tbjs. First, there are certain germs generally present in the Intestines even of healthy fowls that are scattered with the manure, and which, vino they are permitted to accumulate and become very numerous, may c a u s e outbreaks of d i s e a s e ; second, the perms of contagious diseases may be brought to the poultry yard by pigeons or other birds which fly from one poultry yard to another, or by mice or r a t s ; third, It is seldom that ground Is obtained for the poultry yard which is entirely free from Infection with the e g g s of parasitic worms and the spores of disease-producing microbes. To keep t h e s e germs and parasites from developing and Increasing their numbers to a dungerous extent the houses should be kept clean the drinking fountains and feed troughs should be washed every week with boiling water or other disinfectant, and, if any lice or mites are found on the birds or in their houses, the roosts and ad- Joining parts of the walls shouki be painted with a mixture of kerosene, one quart, and crude carbolic acid or crude cresol, one teacupful (one gill). Or the h o u s e may be w h i t e w a s h e d with freshly slaked lime or sprayed with kerosene emulsion. The fowls should be dusted with lice powder. Disinfectants and Their Use. Good disinfectants destroy the germs of contagious diseases, the external parasites, such as lice and mites, and in some cases the eggs of parasitic worms. The eggs of some kinds of worms are so resistant that disinfectants other than heat have little effect upon them. The disinfectants should be thoroughly applied to the interior of the houses, worked into all the cracks and crevices, spread over the celling and the floor, the roosts, dropping boards, and nest boxes. At the same time the feeding and drinking troughs should be disinfected by pouring boiling water Into them and afterwards drying them in the sun. Disinfectants are most easily applied to the walls and ceilings with a spray pump or by using a brush. As it is difficult to keep the chemicals from coming into contact with the face and hands, the more harmless of these mixtures should generally be used. Ordinary limewash made from freshly slaked lime is excellent, and its properties are well known to aH. In the case of an actual outbreak of virulent disease, it is well to add to the whitewash six ounces of crude carbolic acid to each gallon to increase its activity as a disinfectant. The kerosene emulsion, which Is frequently used to destroy mites, may readily be converted into a disinfectant. To make the emulsion, shatc half a pound of hard laundry soap Into half a gallon of soft water and boll the mixture until all the soap is dissolved, then remove it to a safe distance from the fire and stir into it, at once, while still hot, two gallons of kerosene oil. This makes a thick, creamy emulsion, or stock mixture. When it is to be used for killing mites In the houses, one quart of this emulsion is mixed with ten quarts of water. When It is to be used as a disinfectant, stir well, then add one pint crude carbolic add or crude cresol, and again stir until all is well mixed. The compound solution of cresol is one of the best disinfectants which may be purchased ready for use. It contains 50 per cent of cresol, and one pint of it added to ten quarts of water makes a solution of the proper strength to apply to the houses or to spray over the ground. A five per cent solution of carbolic add (one pint carbolic add to ten quarts of water) Is about equally efflcadous. The choice between the two is a matter «f coove* nlence.

Care in Skinning Cattle Urged. To relieve as much a s possible tbe unprecedented demand for leather the I'tuted S t a t e s department of agriculture is urging that slaughtered and dead a n i m a l s on the farm be skinned with great care. Usually the skinning of a n i m a l s mi the farm and the care of hides is not given a great amount of consideration, and through carelessness many hides are cut and scored when they are removed. By devoting a little extra time and care In skinning animals to make sure that they are not cut or scored the farmer can increase their value on the market several times. In tanning hides scores show very plainly and in many cases one-half of the thickness of the leather is lost by such defect.

In the third Liberty Loan the cities and towns visited by the sailor bandmen were In all cases the tirst to yet over the top for their quotas.

These towns were arranged by F. It. Fenton, federal director of sales for Michigan, who will accompany the bands. An attraction certain to prove near* ly as great as the bands from the Great Lakes will be the appearance of i two of the best known speakers U J Michigan. They are the Hon. D.

Both these loyal citizens are giving ull their time In the interests of the Fourth Liberty Loan and are men whose position and knowledge of war conditions make them probably bettei fitted to lay before the people the necessity for intensified Americanism than any other two men available within the borders of the state. • As editor of the Grand Rapids Herald Mr. Vandenberg has been one of the most prominent figures In Michigan for many years. Outside of public life, there is probably no man so famed for his splendid platform magnetism. He has stumped his state time and again for his party.

The bahd, which when assembled at the Great Lakes training station is the largest band known to history In any country, has been divided for the Liberty Loan drive into detachments of from 30 to GO pieces. These bands are now rousing patriotism throughout the Seventh Federal Reserve district. The bluejacket musicians will play fn as many towns as possible during the first week of the drive. The response to their appearance in the last campaign was so striking that the loan executives feel there Is no better w-ay of stirring up the people of Michigan and the other states of the Seventh district than to give them a chance to hear and see the jnekies. Splendid Work of "Jackie*.* Perhaps the most striking demonstration of the way in which the martial strains of the navy pkiyens put patriotism into the hearts of the civilian population, it is said, followed a parade last April in St. Lout*.

The naval training station band is unique in the military organisation of the world. The idea of having a tremendous hand of young and enthusiastic musicians originated with Capt. W. A.

He managed to get John Philip Sousa to Join the nary as a lieutenant As soon as word went out that the great Sonsa would personally lead and Instruct the wen enlisting in the navy as music+nnR, there was a rush from all parts' of the country.

A. M. C. men did v not seem to disturb the raiders, because many a Joke made In an undertone, was passed along the winding column, as to who would be first to take a ride on one of the stretchers. This was generally followed by a wish that, If you were to be the one, the wound would be a "cushy Blighty one." The stretcher bearers, no doubt, hoping that, If they did have to carry anyone to the rear, he would be small and light. Perhaps they/looked at me when wishing, because I could feel an uncomfortable, boring sensation be. tween ray shoulder blades. They got their wish all right. Going up this trench, about every sixty yards or so we would pass a lonely sentry, who in a whisper would wish us "the best o' luck, mates." We would blind at him under our breaths; that Jonah phrase to us sounded very ominous. Without any casualties the minstrel troop arrived at Suicide ditch, the front-line trench. Previously, a wiring party of the Royal Engineers had cut a lane through our barbed wire to enable us to get out into No Man's Land. Crawling through this lane, our party of twenty took up an extendedorder formation about one yard apart We had a tap code arranged for our movements while in No Man's Land, because for various reasons it Is not safe to carry on a heated conversation a few yards in front of Fritz' lines. The officer was on the right of the line, while I was on the extreme left. Two taps from the right would be passed down the line until I received them, then I would send back one tap. The officer, In receiving this one tap, would know that his order had gone down the whole line, had been understood, and that the party was ready to obey the two-tap signal. Two taps meant that we were to crawl forward slowly—and believe me, very slowly— for five yards, and then halt to await further Instructions. Three taps meant, when you arrived within striking distance of the German trench, rush it and inflict as many casualties as possible, secure a couple of prisoners, and then back to your own lines with the speed clutch open. Four taps meant, *T have gotten you Into a position from which it is impossible for me to extricate you, so you are on your own." After getting Tommy into a mess on the western front he is generally told that he Is "on his own." This means, "Save your skin in any way possible." Tommy loves to be "on his own" behind the lines, but not during a trench raid. The star shells from the German Hoes were falling In front of us, therefore we were safe. After about twenty minutes we entered the star shell zone. A star shell from the German lines fell about five yards In the rear and to the right of me; we hugged the ground and held our breath until it burned out. The smoke from the star shell traveled along the ground and crossed over the middle of our line. Some Tommy sneezed. The smoke had gotten up his nose. We crouched on the ground, cursing the offender under our breath; and waited the volley that generally ensues when the Germans fear* heard a noise in No Man's Land. Nothing happened. We received two taps and crawled forward slowly for five yards; no doubt the officer believed what Old Pepper had said, "Personally T believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied." By being ctreful and remaining motionless when the star shells fell behind us, we readied the German barbed wire with* out mishap. Then the fun began. I was seared stiff as it is ticklish work cutting your way through wire when about thirty feet in front of you there Is a line of Bodies looking out into No Man's Land with their rifles lying across the parapet, straining every sense to see or hear what is going on fn No Man's Land; because at night, Frits merer knows when a bomb with his name and number on it will come burtltfig through the air aimed In the direction of Berlin. The man on the right, ime man ill the center and myself 0¾ the extreme left were equipped with wire cutters. These are insulated with soft rubber not beams* the German vires are charged with e l i U l d t y . t>at to prevent the cutters rubbing against the barbed wire stakes, which are of iron, and making a noise which may warn the inmates of the trench that someone Is getting fresh in their front yard. There is only eae way to cot a barbed wire without seise and thorough costly experience Tonusy has become an expert i s doing this. Ton must grasp the wire about two inches from the stake in your right hand and cut between the stake and your hand. If you cut a wire improperly, a loud twang will ring out ou the night ulr like the snapping of a banjo string. Perhaps this noise can be heard only for fifty or seventy-five yards, but in Tommy's mind it makes a loud noise in Berlin. We had cut a lane about halfway through the wire when, down the center of our line, twang! went an improperly cut wire. We crouched down, cursing under our breath, trembling all over, our knees lacerated from the strands of the cut barbed wire on the ground, waiting for a challenge and the inevitable volley of rifle fire. Nothing happened. I suppose jthe fellow who cut the barbed wire improperly was the one who had sneezed about half an hour previously. What we wished him would never make, his new year a happy one. The officer, in my opinion, at the noise of the wire should have given the four-tap signal, which meant, "On your own, get back to your trenches as luickly as possible," but again he must have relied on the spiel that Old Pepper had given us In the dugout, "Personally i believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied." Anyway, we got careless, but not so careless that we sang patriotic songs or made any unnecessary noise. During the intervals of falling star shells we carried on with" our wire cutting until at lest we succeeded in getting through the German barbed wire. At this point we were only ten feet from the Gepmau trenches. If we were discovered, we were like rats in a trap. Our way was cut off unless, we ran along the wire to the narrow lane we had cut through. With our hearts in our mouths we waited for the threetap signal to rush the German trench. Three taps had gotten about halfway down the line when suddenly about ten to twenty German star shells were fired all along the trench and landed In the barbed wire In rear of us, turning night Into day and silhouetting us against the wall of light made by the flares. In the glaring light we were confronted by the following unpleasant scene. All along the German trench, at about three-foot intervals, stood a big Prussian guardsman with his rifle at the aim, and then we found out why we had not been challenged when the man sneezed and the barbed wire had been Improperly cut. About three feet in front of the trench they had constructed a single fence of barbed wire and we knew our chances were one thousand to one of returning alive. We could not rush their trench on account of this second defense. Then In front of me the challenge, "Halt," given In English rang out, and one of the finest things I have ever heard on the western front took place. From the middle of our line some Tommy answered the challenge, with, "Aw, go to h—I." It must have been the man who had sneezed or who had Improperly cut the barbed wire; he wanted to show Frits that he could die game. Then came the volley. Machine guns were turned loose and several bombs were thrown In our rear. The Boche In front of me was looking down his, sight This fellow might have, under ordinary circumstances, been handsome, but when I viewed him from the front of his rifle he had the goblins of childhood imagination relegated to the shade, Then came a flash in front of me, the flare of his rifle—and my head seemed to burst A bullet had hit me on the left side of my face about half an Inch from my eye, smashing the cheek bones. I put my band to my face and fell forward, biting the ground and Kicking my feet I thought I was dying, but do you know, my past life did not unfold before me the way it does In novels. The blood was streaming down my tunic, and the pain was awful. When I came to I said to myself, "Brno, old boy, you belong in Jersey City, and you'd better get back there as Quickly as possible." The bullets were cracking overhead. I crawled a few feet back to the German barbed wire, and in a stooping pf sltion, guiding myself by the wire, . went down the Use looking for f-? lane we had cat throngs, Before reaching this lane I came to a limp form which seemed tike a bag of oats fry«ijtwg over the wire. I s the dim light I could see that Its hands were blackened, and knew it was the body of one of my mates. I put my hand on bis head, the top of which had been Mows oft by a bomb, sty angers sank Into the hole. I pulled my sand back full of blood and brains, then I went crazy with fear and horror and rushed along the wire until I canie to our lane. I had just turned down this lune when something inside of me seemed to say, "Look around." I did BO ; a bullet caught me on the left shoulder. It did not Jiurt much, just felt as If someone had punched me In the back, and then my left side went numb. My arm was dangling like a rag. T fell forward in a sitting position. But all the fear had left me and I was consumed with rage and cursed the German trenches. With my right hand I felt in my tunic for my first-aid or shell dressing. In feeling over my tunic my hand came tn contact with one of the bombs which I carried. Gripping it, I pulled the pin out with my teeth and blindly threw it towards the German trench. I must have been out of my head, because I was only ten feet from the trench and took a chance of being mangled. If the bomb had failed to go Into the trench I would have been blown to bits by the explosion of my own bomb. By the flare of the explosion of the bomb, which luckily landed In their trench, I saw one big Boche throw up his arms and fall backwards, while his rifle flew into the air. Another one wilted and fell forward across the sandbags—then blackness. Realizing what a foolhardy and risky thing I had done, I was again seized with a horrible fear. I dragged myself to my feet and ran madly down the lane through the barbed wire, stumbling over cut wires, tearing my uniform, and lacerating my hands and legs. Just as I was about to reach No Man's Land again, thnt same voice were a magnificent sight, kills, flapping in the wind, bare knees showing, and their bayonets glistening. In the first wave that passed my shell hole, one of the "Jocks," an Immense fellow, about six feet two Inches in height jumped right over me. On the right aud left of me several soldiers In colored kllta w *re huddled on the ground, then over came the second wave, also "Jocks." One young Scottle, when he came abreast of my shell hole, leaped Into the air, his rifle shooting out of his hands, landing about six feet in front of him, bayonet first, and stuck in the ground, the butt trembling. This Impressed me greatly. (TO BK C O N T I N U E D . ) COMPARES MEN WITH TIRES Philosopher Asserts That the Import tant Auto Fixture Is Not Unlike Some of Human Race. "The more I have to do with automobile tires," said Philosopher Jim, "the better I understand men. There Is no limit to the comparisons that might be made, but let me ask your attention for just one of them. It turns upon the way they come to an end, men and tires alike. "On my little roadster I may have at one and the same time two tires of such different character as this: "One has served long and well. It seems sound as ever, and still looks good for a lot of work. But its healthy appearance Is deceptive: It has a vast number of well hidden decayed cells. "They began to go separately, not In masses. No one part of that tire wore out all by itself. The whole thing has been slowly, subtly honeycombed with wear. "The limit Is reached suddenly. The end, prepared for slowly and In the dark, comes swiftly; and it Is a very complete end. The tire Is a goner, the doctor can do nothing for It. "Some men end like that; seemingly vigorous one day; and the next day, on the scrap heap. "And then there are tires and men that go the other way. They seem worn and weakened, but they are sound Inside. The shell goes first, the Inner tube retains its usefulness. You know they Rre going, out they always seem good for another day's work, another hundred miles. They will stand a lot of patching. "Tires are mighty human, and that's why I really anjoy fussing with them."

NO NEED OF SUCH REFINEMENT. In "Blighty." seemed to say, "Turn around." I did so, when, "crack," another bullet caught me, this time in the left shoulder about one-hatt inch away from the other wound. Then it was taps for me. The lights went out When I came to I was crouching in a hole in Ne Man's Land. This shell hole was about three feet deep, so that It brought my bead a few inches below the level of the ground. How I reached this hole I will never know. German ••typewriters" were trsversing back and forth In No Man's Land, the bullets biting the edge of my shell hole and throwing dirt all over me. . Overhead shrapnel was bursting. I could hesr the fragments slap the ground. Then I went out once more. When I came to everything wss silence and darkness In No Man's Land. I was soaked with blood and a big flap from the wound In my cheek was hanging'orer my month. The blood running from this flap choked me. Out of the corner of my month I would try and blow It back, but It would not move. I reached for my shell dressing and tried, with one hand, to bandage my face to prevent the flow. I had an awful horror of Weeding to death and was getting very fslnt Ton would have laughed If you had seen my ludicrous attempts at bandaging with one hand. The pains In my wounded shoulder were awful and I was getting sick at the stomach. I gave up the bandaging stunt as s bad job, and then fainted. When I came to, hall was let loose. An Intense bombardment wss on, sod on the whole my position wss decidedly unpleasant Then, suddenly, our barrage ceased. The silence almost hurt, but not for long, because Frits turned loose with shrapnel, machine guns, and rifle Arm, Then all along our line came a cheer and our boys came over the top tn a charge. The first ware was composed of "Jocks." They Why Brides Love June. The first people to adopt the month of June as sacred to Hymen, the god of marriage, were the ancient Romans, who considered June the most propitious season of the year for entering upon matrimonial relations. The Romans held that June weddings were likely to be huppier than alliances contracted In any other months of the year, especially if the day chosen were that of the full moon. They also held that of all months May was to be avoided, as In that month newlywerts would come under the Influence of spirits adverse to happy households, These ancient marriage superstitions were related by the Christians in the middle ages, and even today June is considered by many to be pre-eminently the month of marriages. The word "wedding" is derived from the ancient Anglo-Saxon "wed" custom. Royal Needlewomen. Most of the European queens noted In history's pages were expert needlewomen. Mary Queen of SJeots Is said to have been particularly clever with the needle, Hardwick hall being adorned with many of her tapestries. Applique was popular In the middle ages, not only on quilts, but on wearing apparel. A peculiar court custom sprang up In the reign of Charles I, that known as "drizzling," according to an old text. This term wag apptled to the ripping out of the gold threads of wonderful Chinese embroideries to obtain the braid for their gowns. One noblewoman wrote that "all the ladles who do not play cards pick gold. It Is the most general fashion I ever saw, and they all carry hags containing the necessary tools."—Exchange. Reliable Workers. Victims of nervous and other ills should keep out in the air and sunshine, get all the exercise possible, and then go to bed "with the chickens."

Hence, the business girl or woman should, If she has her own best Interests at heart taboo late retiring.

This unit has been approved by the War Department and will be in charge of Army officers detailed for the purpose. Men now included in the draft for the first time, who met the requirements for admission to any of the schools and College ; of the Un'versi y are to prese; t their credentials and register in the reg ular way for the work of the next session which begins October 1, 1918. Registration should be completed before that date; and ad nission should always be arranged for by mail in advance. On October 1, or aa soon after as possible students who are physically fit and who so elect, will be inducted into the Students' Army Training Corps. They will thereupon be under military discipline, will be housed and fed and unifor ned and equipped by the Government and will receive $30 a monnh, the regular pay of a private. Their tuition, including all laboratory and other fees, will also be paid by the Goverment. Former students now included in the draft for the first time should return and register in the usual manner, when they will be inducted, if they so elect, into the S. A. T. C. under the conditions described in the above paragraph. Students are not inducted into the S. A. T. C. unless they BO desire. Men subject to the draft may continue their university work without military train* ing while awaiting their call to service. The program of the Students' Army Training Corps, as arranged, consists of 55 hours of .work per week, which includes periods devoted to study, drill, and inspection. Thirteen hours are devoted to purely military work, of this ten being devoted to drill in five two- ; hour perioJS, while two ai» devoted to j theorteical military in&truction and one I to inspection. The remaining 42 hours J are to be devoted to the academic program, which will make possible an el- | ection of 15 hours and allow two hours of study for each recitation in addition ! to the military program. But one ! three hour coarse is to be prescribed, a • course in War Aims. The remaining 11 I hours may be elected by the student 1 from what are called "allied sObjects". Tne list of allied subjects, however, is very broad and includes Modern Languages, English, History, Economics, Mathematics and the Sciences. Students may, by special permission, elect work not to exceed 3 hours outside of the allied subjects. In addition to the military work above outlined professional students may continue their regular course of study. The work of the Graduate School will continue, so far as possible, as in the past. Graduate students, if they so elect may be inducted into the S. A. T. C. In any case, registration not later than October 1st is desired. In a circular issued by the Committee on Education and Special Trrining i f the war Deparment of which Col. M. I. Rees of the General Staff Corps is chairman the following advice is given: •'All young men who are planning to go to school this fall should carry out their plans and do so.

Rosen Rye For Livingston County The government is asking the farmers of Michigan to increase their acreage in the yield of Rosen Rye by 20 per cent for next year. This increase in rye can hi brought about by two methods: First To increase the acreage and second to use the best kind of seed and methods of planting and thus increase the yield per acre. Bote methods should be used in this county. During the last two years a number of farmers in Livingston County have grown Rosen Rye. This rye was first produced in Russia and then at the Michigan Agricultural College, brought to its highest standard of perfection by Prof. Spragg. The farmers who have grown this rye daring the past several years in this state report yields as high as 48 bushels per acre, and that where i; has been planted in comparision with common rye will outyeild it by five t o fifteen bushels per acre. Last winter was a very unfavorable one for rye but cases are reported in this county of yields from 35 to 40 buBhels per acre when sown on a good soil and reasonable early.

From some of us, surely, love's supreme sacrifice will be de- : mauded. Kut it is nor giving our best i to d e a t h ; it is seeing the soldier eonie home crippled or blind or deaf. Kvery heart among ours aches In the ' giant grasp of pain ut the thought. ! Jti the sireers of London before this i \ a r began, there were crippled and Minded men, pitifully capitaltring j •heir infirmity as they thrust their hit of green or bunch of lead pencils 1 forward to cover the fact that they j were beggars. In every other coun- j try where war has laid Its devastating , weight, there are such men. Even • here, where we have pensioned t b e veterans of the Civil war, we have the tragic evidences oonseq .:• -nf on m e n ' s . • knowing ihat they are not helping in the world's work. These wop' the SODS of mothers like you, the hii-hamls of wives like you, the lovers 0 f sweethearts. For a month or a y«ir, the glory of their sacrifice burned brigblly around them. They were heroes In love's eyes. They were petted and appreciated. Then, the routine of life swept on. The other men went back to business. Their wives and their mothers and their sweethearts went on with life accompanied by the agreeable support of their money-producing efforts. P e r h a p s t^he men tried to make places for the maimed companions. But the dimming thoughts of the i war were the mist that began to shut the maimed ones away from participation in the life where they could render no service. The women who loved and clung to them had to find work to support themselves and the heroes. And, even they grew less conscious of the heroism and more conscious of the strain of making ends meet. Worse, yet. a deterioration set in within the mind and heart of the hero. It was not his fault that he could be of so little use. He had given more for his country than some of the • men who were blessed with the favor and comfort resulting from active service and the necmnuhition of a competency. Bitter or discouraged or else just slipping without much re- •• sisiance into the position of grocerystor* loafer and c©Ortb>«»e> toungw. the hero of a time forgotlen became a kind of tolerated zero in the life of his community—or an actual uuisan re. Dear mothers, wives, sweethearts, this Is not a ]ricture too highly colored. You know of men far-fallen from the heroic days when they came home bearing the signs of their greal giving. Then, what would I whisper to the deeps of your heart so sacred to your soldier-men? b y the strength of the love you bear them, save their glory untarnished! How? There is work that a man without a leg can do with his two hands. There is work t h a t a man bereft of sight can do by the sense of touch. There is work that a man whose arms are gone can do with his feet. Our blessed* heroes can be taught work that will, in some instances, make them eveto more able to euro than they wer*1 l>efore the war. The government 's looking after this. Then what can we do, mothers, wives and sweethearts? We can— and we must--give our men to the government a bit longer, give them till they are equipped to take men's places in the active world. It means holding our hearts, that yearn so terrifically to have them again, in the strong grip of our common sense. Duty of Our Women. When you ache to get them back, to have them right close to you, to make it aU up to them, just remember that file mothers and wives and sweethearts of those men whom you now regard as ciphers loved and yearned as you do. Just keep a tight hold on the thought that t i e shiftless, uncon trihuting member of society, who decorates a dry goods box or hunches up in a wooden chair ut the courthouse, came home to hearts that blazed with fervor as yours is blazing now. And save your men from what your eyes convince you is their certain future. Six months or more, under the wise hand of the government they have served, ami they will be fitted for further service. Six months or more of loving waiting on your part will bring you home a hero whose glory never enn be dimmed by the smudgy hand of circumstances. Six months or more of positive encouragement will keep him from falling a victim to the despair that will come when your loved one returns to the life he has left robbed of the arm or leg or eyes which have been so ssential. It la really up to us, the women whose lov» is the g'vat rock of shelter and comfort for our men, to encourage— even to insist upon their taking advantage of the opportunities which the government will provide. l.'p to the women ! We have not failed our men yet! We never will, not though the way we tread is red with our OWN heart's blood ! SCOUTS' LIBERTY LOAN WORK. Bach day the importance of the work that was done by the Boy Scouts of America in the third Liberty loan campaign is augmented by the receipt of final scoutmasters' reports. The total number of subscriptions now reported is 580.540, amounting to the sum of $67,131,850. This is a most gratifying showing because while the amount in money is not so large as it was in the second campaign, the number of subscriptions secured is largely in excess of those secured for the second campaign. This spells real service of the highest degree because in the third campaign as "gleaners after the reapers," all blanket corporation subscriptions were eliminated and the boys confined themselves to soliciting individuals, and the number of $50 and $100 bonds sold is a wonderful achievement. OF WHAT ARE WE THINKING? By GfiORGE BARR McCUTCHEON Of The VigUantej --* SCOUTS GET NAVY DESERTER. John Gilbert Jones, an alleged twotime navy deserter, was captured by members of a boy scout troop in Ramapo mountains, near Wyckoff, N. J., and started under guard for Newport Wews, Va. For two months federal authorities had searched for Jones, but clever work on the part of the boy scouts of Wyckoff resulted In his apprehension. In an abandoned mountain schoolhouse the scouts came across a store of prorisions and some navy clothing. When Jones returned, 11 scouts closed in on him at a prearranged signal. The deserter offered no resistance. SCOUTS DOING A GREAT WORK. W h a t is in the mind of t h e Ameri- j can citizen while " T h e Star-Spangled 1 B a n n e r " is being played?

ROCHE , Howell, Mich. War Time Sweeteners MERICA has several excellent war time sweeteners that will be used largely during the shortage in the sugar supply. They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and molasses and may be used in preparing desserts and other dishes requiring sweetening. When a cup of syrup or honey is used to replace a cup of sugar the liquid in the recipes should be decreased one-fourth. One-third of a cupful of sugar is equivalent to one-third of a cup of honey, about onehalf cup of syrup and about one-half cup of corn sugar. One-fourth of a cup of sugar is equal to about one-half cup of syrup or one-third cup of corn sugar. One tablespoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and onethird tablespoons of corn sugar. Sugar may be saved by the use of raisins, dates, figs, dried pears and fruit pastes used on the breakfast cereals. Fruit marmalades, butters and jellies should be used to take the place of the ordinary sweetening at a meal and not as accessories to it. Fruits may be preserved without sugar. It may be added when sugar is more plentiful. Preserving demands this year a thin syrup instead of a heavy syrup. If sugar is used one-half of the amount may be replaced by another sweetener. Drying is a means of preserving (without sugar) apples, cherries, strawberries and 'black caps. When ready to use they may have added the needed sugar in the form of a syrup. When sugar is more plentiful fruit juices may be made into jellies or may be used as fruit juices with or without sugar, as beverages, fruit gelatins and frozen desserts. Fresh fruits supply the place of sugar in the diet. They should be used freely, pesserts where sugar is scarce may be made of gelatins, junkets, custards, puddings and cakes. America Deeper la This War Than Any Other Nation By P r e s e n t Ray Lyman Wilbur, of Stanford University. We must realize that we are deeper in this war than any other nation, for we have said, through our President, that our peace is to be with the German people, not with the Hohenzollern. We have then the problem of providing the additional offensive strength needed to defeat the greatest war lord in history with millions of trained veterans under his control. To do this, we must see the issues clearly and back up those at the front by our actions each hour of each day. The morale of the fighting armies will settle this war. We must see that the morale of our men and that of those who fight with us is kept at high tide. We can do so if they can feel our support all of the time. Now is the great opportunity of the American people to demonstrate that our form of government is a success. If we do not all of us, at once, voluntarily and willingly get behind those who fight and die for us, in every phase of our life, and now particularly realize that food is powder to win the war, then we are going to fail In this, our immediate pressing duty, and be a despised and humiliated nation. We must be a great united democracy fighting our way forward toward a final victory. There can be but one outcome of this war and we must steel ourselves for any misfortune, for any reverse, with our minds united and flxpd upon the idea of a final victory. - 1 } Too Easy. Two children were trying to decide on a game with which to amuse themselves, one'rammer afternoon. "Oh, no, let's not play that," aaid one in answer to a suggestion, '*!*'* too easy." And the child who had •igjfeated the game at once expressed agreement "Yea, it's to easy that it l*n't any fun." If even small children realise that a thing ceases to be interesting when it Is too easy, older girla, sorely, should not grumble if something a little difficult is asked of them.

We wore obliged to wear nr carry our hte i rjreservern with us all the time we were i vn the boat. Some of the fellows along , toward the last of the trip s i t up all' night with their preservers on. One) morning about 3 a. m. a lot of hop hot- | ties fell on the floor and about hall the fellows thought a torpedo had struck , the -hip and ru3hed on deck. j We stopped in England a while and | hid a chance to see the country and some of the cities. Of the twn I like i the country best. Even thing u fre*h and green and looks very mvmng. The crops are fine. But the cities are v«-ry old-fashioned with the same old narrow -treef^ t h e ; had 70) years a.?o. Wo had a chance to visit the castle where King Arthur and the K-iighis o. the Round Table, held their court and also saw the original Round T-'ble i^ed by them. Sir Walter Rak igh was alto tried in this castle. The people in France seem to be considerably ahead of the English in sociability and style, their railroads also are now up to date, as they use quite a few U. S. engines and cars. We are now located in a very pretty French vil'age, San Curie, located on the top of a young monntain. This place also has lots of ancient history connected with it. Th<-re i? a tower here built 200 years B. C. and was stormed and taken once by Julius Ceasar. There is also a very large line Catholic Church here which is Maimed to be 1300 years old. Down below us in the valley is a little town St. Thibanlt. Here there are quite a few-un t o date residences in fict they are prettier than you very often see in American as they are made of different colored stone, brick or cement and the roofs of tile or slate. As there is no permanent camp here yet our company has been quartered in the village in empty building*. The band has good quarters in a ball room in an old hotel. When the fellows took the mirrors down to wash them the land lady made a kick, she said at was the first time they had been down m onehundred years. All the band has had to do so far is to play, rehearse and take an occasional hike to the river for a bath. I understand this afternoon we are to take our packs, supper and stay all night. A few nignts ago we played at a little town near here by the name *f Montreal. I t was the first time a band had ever been in the village and come of the inhabitants had never heard a band before, so we made quite a hit. Next Thursday night we a r e going to another 4ittle town where some of the regiment it located and stay all night. A week ago Sunday the band went to Bourges, a city A 120,000 to play for a water carnival.

Officials of the food administration explain that the major portion of the increased cost of living Is due not to food, but to rent, clothing, transportation and other items, and especially due to the advanced standard of living. The food administration's compilations are based solely on the statistical basis of the nation's expenditures for food at wholesale. The labor department's figures are baaed on investigation of familyl budgets in various cities. What the increased cost of living amounts to, inclusive of all the Items of the average family budget of a working man, was stated recently by the bureau of labor statistics on investigations in various Pacific coast cities. Compared with costs six months previously, the cost of all essential living expenses had increased in Seattle 18.16 per cent, in Tacoma 20.37 per cent, in Portland 15.93 per cent, in San Francisco 10.86 per cent, in Los Angeles 11.80 per cent. The item of clothing, taken separately, increased for the same-period in the same districts, respectively, 25.82 per cent, 30.92 per cent, 27.68 per cent. The increase since then, of course, has been enormous. The food administration in its report, admits there has been more than a 35 per cent increase in prices paid farmers, but contends that this is reduced In actual household purchasing by a reduction of speculation and profiteering and narrowed margins between farmers and wholesale prices under food regulations; that is, that the food administration has been able to make a 35 per cent increase to the farmers only a three and a half per cent increase to the consumers. 1,750,000 YANKS IN FRANCE General March Calls News Continuously Good From Battle Fronts. a year.

The Scottle made a complete turn In the air, hit the ground, rolling over twice, each time clawing at the earth, and then remained still, about four feet from me, in a sort of sitting position, I called to him, "Are you hurt badly, Jock?" but no answer. He was dead. A dark red smudge was coming through his tunic right under the heart. The blood ran down his bare knees, making a horrible sight. On his right side he carried his water bottle. I was crazy for a drink and tried to reach tills, but for the life of me could not negotiate that four feet. Then I became unconscious. When I woke up I was in an advanced first-nld post. I asked the doctor if we had taken the trench. "We took the trench and the wood beyond, all right," he said, "and you fellows did your bit; but, my lad, that was thirtysix hours ago. You were lying In No Man's Land In that bally hole for a day and a half. It's a wonder you are alive." He also told me that out of the twenty that were In the raiding party, seventeen were killed. The officer died of wounds in crawling back to our trench and I was severely wounded, but one fellow returned without a scratch, without any prisoners. No doubt this chap was the one who had sneezed and Improperly cut the barbed wire. In the official communique our trench raid was described as follows: "All quiet on the western front, excepting in the neighborhood of Gommecourt wood, where one of our raiding parties penetrated into the German lines." It Is needless to say that we had no use for our persuaders or come-alongs, as we brought back no prisoners, and until I die Old Pepper's words, "Personally I don't believe that that part of the German trench Is occupied," will always come to me when I hear some fellow trying to get away with a fishy statement. I will judge it accordingly. C H A P T E R X X V M . Blighty. From this first-aid post, after Inoculating me with antitetanus serum to prevent lockjaw, I was put into an ambulance and sent to a temporary hospital behind the lines. To reach this hospital we had to go along a road about five miles in length. This road wag under shell fire, for now and then a flare would light up the sky—a tremendous explosion—and then the road seemed to tremble. We did not mind, though no doubt some of us wished that a shell would hit us and end our misery. Personally, I was not particular. It was nothing but bump, jolt rattle, and bang. Several times the driver would turn around and give us a "Cheero, mates, well soon be there—" fine fellows, those ambulance drivers, a lot of them go West, too. We gradually drew out of the fire zone and pulled up in front of fin immense dugout Stretcher-bearers carried me down a number of steps and placed me on a white table in a brightly lighted room. A sergeant of the Royal Army Medical corps removed my bandages and cut off my tunic Then the doctor, with his sleeves rolled up, took charge. He winked at me and I winked back, and then he asked, "How do you feel, smashed up a b i t f I answered: *Tm all right, but Td give a quid for a drink of Bass." He nodded to the sergeant, who disappeared, and HI be darned if he didn't return with a glass of ale. I could only open my mouth about t quarter of an Inch, but I got away with every drop of that ale. It tasted just like Blighty,- and that is heaven to Tommy. The doctor said something to an orderly, the only word I could catch was ''chloroform," then they put some kind of an arrangement over my none and month and It was me for dreamland. When I opened my eyes I was lying on a stretcher, in a low wooden building. Everywhere I looked -1 saw rows of Tommies en stretchers, some dead to the world, and the n e t with fags in their months. The main topic of their oonversatSon was Blighty. Nearly an had a grin on their faces, except these who dtdat nave enough face left It grin with. I grinned with my right eye, the other was bandaged. Stretcher-bearers came In and began to carry the Tommies outside. You^ could hear the chug of the engines In the waiting ambulances. I was put Into an ambulance with three others and away we went for an eighteen-mile ride. I was on a bottom stretcher. The lad right across from me was smashed up something horrible. Right above me was a man from the Koyal Irish rifles, while across from him was a Scotchman. We had gone about three miles when I heard the death-rattle in the throat of the man opposite. He had gone to rest across the Great Divide. I think at the time 1 envied him. The man of the Royal Irish rifles had had his left foot blown off, the Jolting of the ambulance over the rough road had loosened up the bandages on his foot, and had started it bleeding again. This blood ran down the side of the stretcher and started dripping. I was lying on my back, too weak to move, and the dripping of this blood got me in my unbandaged right eye. I closed my eye and pretty soon could not open the lid; the blood had congealed and closed it, as If it were glued down. An English girl dressed In khaki was driving the ambulance, while beside her on the seat was a corporal of the R. A. M. C, They kept up a running conversation about Blighty which almost wrecked my nerves; pretty soon from the stretcher above me, the Irishman became aware of the fact that the bandage from his foot had become loose; It must have pained him horribly, because he yelled in a loud voice: "If you don't stop this bloody death wagon and fix this d bandage on ray foot, I will get out and walk." The girl on the seat turned around and In a sympathetic voice asked, "Poor fellow, are you very badly wounded?" The Irishman, at this question, let out a howl of Indignation and answered, "Am I very badly wounded, what bloody cheek; no, I'm not wounded, I've only been kicked by a canary bird." The ambulance Immediately stopped, and the corporal came to the rear and fixed him up, and also washed out my right eye. I was too weak to thank him, but It was a great relief. Then I must have become unconscious, because when I regained my senses, the ambulance was at a standstill, and my stretcher was being removed from It It was night, lanterns were flashing here and there, and I could see stretcher- beaners hurrying to and fro. Then I was carried into a hospital train. The inside of this train looked like heaven to me, just pure white, and we met our first Red Cross nurses; we thought they were angels. And they were. Nice little soft bunks and clean, white sheets. A Red Cross nurse sat beside me during the whole ride which lasted three hours. She was holding my wrist; I thought I had made a hit, and tried to tell her how I got wounded, but she would put her finger to her lips and say, "Tea,! know, but you mustn't talk now, try to go to sleep. It'll do you good, doctor's orders." Later on I learned that she was taking my pulse every few minutes, as I was very weak from the loss of blood and they expected me to snuff It, but I didn't "From the train we went into ambulances for a short ride to the hospital ship Panama.

My stretcher was strewn with flowers, cigarettes, and chocolates. Tears started to ran down my cheek from my good eye. I like a. booby was crying. Can you beat It V - Then into another1 hospital train, a five-hour ride to Paignton, another ambulance ride, and then I was carried Into ¥unney ward of the American Women's War hospital and pat into a real bed. This real bed was too much for my unstrung nerves and I faiatad, When I came to, a nrettv Bed nurse was bending over rae. bathing my forehead with cold water, then she left and the ward orderly placed a screen around my bed, and gave me a much-needed bath and dean \>u Junius. Then the screen was removed and a bowl of steaming aoup waa given me. It tasted delicious. Before finishing my soup the nurse came buck to ask me my name and number. She put this Information down in a little book and then asked : "Where do you come from?" I answered : "From the big town behind the Statue of Liberty;" upon hearing this she started jumping up uud down, clapping her hands, and calling out to three nursea across the ward : "Come here, girls—at last we have got a real live Yankee with us." They came over and besieged me with questions, until the doctor arrived. Upon learning that 1 waa an American he almost crushed my hand In his grip of welcome. They also were Americans, and were glud to see me. The doctor very tenderly removed my bandages and told me, after viewing my wounds, that he would have to take me to the operating theater immediately. Personally I didn't care what was done with me. In a few minutes, four orderlies who looked like undertakers dressed in white, brought a stretcher to my bed and placing me on It carried me out of the ward, across a courtyard to the operr 'ng room or "pictures," as Tommy calls It I don't remember having the anesthestic applied. When I came to I was again lying In a bed in Munsey ward. One of the nurses had draped a large American flag over the bead of the bed, and clasped in my hand was a smaller flag, and It made me feel good all oyer to again see the "Stars and Stripes." At that time I wondered when the boys In the trenches would see the emblem of the "land of the free and the home of the brave" beside them, doing its bit in this great war of civilization. My wounds were very painful, and several times at night I would dream that myriads of khaki-clothed figures would pass my bed and each would stop, bend over me, and whisper, "The best of luck, mate." Soaked with perspiration I would awake with a cry, and the night nurse would come over and hold my hand. This awakening got to be a habit with me until that particular nurse was transferred to another ward. In three weeks' time, owing to the careful treatment received, I was able to sit up and get my bearings. Our ward contained seventy-five patients, 90 per cent of which were surgical cases. At the hend of each bed hung a temperature chart and diagnosis sheet. Across this sheet would be written "O. S. W." or "S. W„" the former meaning gun shot wound and the latter shell wound. The "S. W." predominated, especially among the Royal Field artillery and Royal engineers. About forty different regiments were represented, and many arguments ensued as to the respective fighting ability of each regiment. The rivalry was wonderful.

Th« patients in the beds start howling for them to settle their dispute outsldt and the ward Is in un uproar. The head sister comes along and with a wave of the hand completely routs th« doughty warriors and again silence reigns supreme. Wednesday und Sunday of each week were visiting days and were looked forward to by the men, because the5 meant parcels containing fruit, sweets or fags. When a patient hud a regulai visitor, he was generally kept well supplied with these delicacies. Greal jealousy is shown anions the men a* to their visitors and many word wur* ensue after thu visitors leave. When a man is sent to a convalescent home, he generally turns over hit steady visitor to the man in the next bed* Most visitors have autograph albums and bore Tommy to death by asking him to write the particulars of hit wounding in same. Several Tommlei try to duck this unpleasant job by telling the visitors that they cannot write, but this never phases the owner of th« album; he or she, generally she, offer! to write tt for Ihem and Tommy li stung Into telling his experiences. The questions osked Tommy by visitors would make a clever Joke bool to a military man.

VELOCITY OF BIG SHELLS Geometer Uses Problem of How Lonf T i m e Is Required for Stone to Fall to Center of E a r t h . Another statue that has been conveyed by sea and landed safely in Rome Is the great equestrian one of the famous General Coll eon I, which stood on Its lofty pedestal in the Campo of SS. Giovanni e Paolo. Ruskln says of It: **I do not believe there Is a more glorious work of sculpture existing In the world." This statue is, of course, of bronze, and was modeled by the Florentine sculptor and painter Andrea Verrocchio in 1481. assisted by his more famous pupil, Leonardo da VInci. Rev. Alexander Robertson writes In the Christian Herald, After Verrocchlo's death. It was cast In bronze by Leopardl. There Is a story told to the effect that when Leopardl had finished his work, he quarreled with the republic over It As he could not come to a settlement, he knocked off the horse's head and escaped to Florence. The republic ordered him to return, but he refused, saying: T hsve knocked off the horse's head, it is true, but I can put it on again: but If I come to Venice and you take off my head, you could not put It on again.* The republic forgave him, assured him of his life and reward, and he returned and finished his work. Studying the velocity of shells \\\d bnllets fired in the war led Maurlct Sauger, a French geometer, to turn to the old question of the time It would take a stone to fall to the centei of the earth. His conclusion was thai it would take about 20 minutes 34 seconds. Gassenddi, who gave the subject much thought in the Inst century, mnd« the time 20 minutes even. Mersenn* on the other hand contended that sli hours \yrmld be required. Sauger says that as the stone approached the center of the earth it would be drawn downward by the cor« of the earth and upward by the shell which it had already penetrated. . Th€ rate at which the density of the earth varies or increases as we penetrate to greater depths is unknown. Sauger't formula is based upon considerations of the moment of inertia of the earth, as calculated from the precession of the equinoxes, which agree with ob» servatlons on the density of the earth conducted in mine shafts. If a shaft were driven right through the earth the stone would appear at th« Antipodes after 38 minutes 30 second! and then return to Its starting point, at which it would make its reappearance at the end of 1 hour 17 minutes. The Feminine Ending. There is quite a campaign afoot against the use of the feminine termination "ess" in words which are purely English, and It is to be hoped that It will succeed In putting an end to such a concoction as "conductress," which Is endeavoring to creep in, in spite of the very cold shoulder given of late to "authoress" and "poetess." It Is ugly for one thing, and for another, It Is bad English. "Ess" should be added only to a word which is a direct importation from the French language. For Instance, there is no objection to "abbess" or "duchess;" those words are correct, and have long been sanctioned. It might be said that sanction for ,4poetess" Is to be found In such a master of English as Dryden, for he speaks of Mrs. Anne Killlgrew as a poetess. The best reply to this Is that, for once, Dryden was wrong, both In his estimate of the lady's literary powers, and In the form of the word which he used to express that estimate.—Chrlstlai Science Monitor.

TREACHERY OF THE BOLSHEVIK CHIEFS BARED TO WORLD A M E R I C A N G O V E R N M E N T S H O W S L E N I N E A N D T R O T Z K Y A R E H U N S ' P A I D T O O L S . t h e i r Betrayal of Russia f o r German Gold Is Proved Absolutely by Scries of Documents. Washington.That Nlcolui Lenine ami Leon Trotzky, chiefs of the bolnhevlki, oetrayed Kusslu deliberately for Geruu.n gold Is proved by u series of official documents which the United States government, through the committee on public Information, has laid before the world. Secured in Russia by Edgar G. Sisson, representing the committee (who was in that country during last winter, 1917-18) these documents not only show how the German government through Its Imperial bank paid Its gold to Lenine, Trotzky, and their immediate associates to betray Russia Into deserting her allies, but give added proofs that Germany had perfected her plans for a war of world conquest long before the assassinations at Sarajevo, which conveniently furnished her pretext. Hun Plots Against America. These documents further show that before the world war was four months old, and more than two years before the United States was drawn into it (in 1914), Germany already was setting afoot her plans to "mobilize destructive agents and observers" to cause explosions, strikes, and outrages in this country, and planned the employment of "anarchists and escaped criminals" for the purpose. Almost ranking In their sensational nature with the notorious Zimmerman note proposing war by Mexico and Japan upon the United States, these documents lay bure new strata of Prussian intrigue, a new view of the workings of kultur to disrupt the allies standing between the world and kaiserism. They disclose also a new story of human treachery for gold. The intrigue appears to have been carried down to the last detail of arrangement with typical German system. Revolution Staged by Berlin. Not only do the disclosures prove that Lenine, Trotzky, nnd their bund are paid German agents. They show that the bolshevik revolution, which threw Russia into such orgy of murder and excesses as the world seldom has seen, actually was arranged by the , German general staff. They show how the paid agenta of Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest- Litovsk "peace" conference; how German staff officers have been secretly received by the bolshevik! as military advisers; how they have acted as sides upon the embassies of the nations with which Russia was allied or at peace; how they have directed the bolshevik foreign, domestic and economic policy wholly In the Interest of Germany, and to the shame and degradation of Russia. Originals of documents, photographs of originals, and typewritten circulars, some of them marked "very secret" or "private," and many of them bearing the annotations of the bolshevik lenders themselves; some of them containing references to "Comrade Trotzky" or "Comrade Lenine" comprise the record.

SnfJEyt frss writs %M By* Poi.ltry Club Boys Building a Poultry Hout COMFORT IN HEN HOUSE REQUIRED Prepare in Early Fall for Cold, Disagreeable Weather When Fowls Are Indoors. ESSENTIAL FOR WINTER EGGS Fresh Air, Dryness, Sunlight, and Space Enough to Keep Chickens Contented Are of Importance— Make Roof Watertight. During the summer the poultryhouse question has not given the poultry keeper much concern. The chickens have had the freedom of outdoor life most of the time and just so they had a clean, uiry place, free from vermin, and covered with a pood roof to keep out rain, was about all that was necessary. Biy as winter approaches and weather conditions are such that the fowls must be confined more, it Is essential that their indoor quarters be made as comfortable as possible. This Is one of the requisites of winter egg production. The prime essentials in poultry houses, according to the United States department of agriculture, are fresh air, dryness, sunlight and space enough to keep the birds comfortable. The particular style of house is not important, for a house that gives satisfaction In the North will also give good results In the South, but it is prefer* able to have more open and consequently less expensive houses in the South than In the North. The location should have good water and air drainage so that the floor and yards will be dry, while the house should not occupy a low pocket or hollow In which cold air settles. When It is possible, a southern or southeastern exposure should be selected, although this is not essential If there is any good reason for facing the house In a different direction. Importance of Roof, The roof is the most expensive but a roost Important part of the poultry house, and should be water-tight. or some kind of absorbent material, which tends to keep such houses dry and warm. The A-shaped roof is used for growing coops and colony houses which, with a wall 18 inches high, provides a large amount of floor space with a minimum amount of lumber, but Increases the roof surface, which Is the most expensive part of the house. A large amount of glasg in the front of the house makes it warm during the day and cold at night, as glass radiates heat very rapidly. Unbleached muslin, or a light weight or duck cloth, Is used for curtains In the front of poultry houses. This cloth should be thin enough To allow a slow circulation of air without a draft, which object Is defeated by using too heavy a grade of duck or by olliijg or painting the cloth. The front of the house should be high enough so that the windows or openings will allow the sun to shine well back during the winter. Good Floor Important. The best kind of a floor depends upon the soil and the use of the house. On light, sandy, well-drained soils a dirt floor Is satisfactory, especially for small or colony henhouses. Such floors should be from two to six Inches higher than the outside ground surface, and It Is advisable to renew them each year by removing the contaminated surface down to clean soil, and to refill with fresh sand or fine gravel and earth. A board floor Is generally used, where the level of the floor in the house Is from one to three feet above the gr*ound surface and In portable houses on land which Is not well drained. Board floors harbor rats and rot quickly, and should be raised some distance off the ground so that cats or dogs can get under them, which also allows a free circulation of air to prevent the wood from rotting. Cement floors are adapted to long permanent buildings, brooder houses, Incubator cellars, and to all permanent houses where an artificial floor Is required and can be built on the ground level. These floors are easy to clean, very sanitary, rat proof, and comparatively Inexpensive, if one has a supply of gravel or sharp sand. The Interior fixtures of the pens should be simple, portable, and Inexpensive. Roosts are usually placed next to the end or back walls, six to ten Inches above the dropping boards, while the latter are from two to two and one-half feet above the ground. They should all be on the same level. Shingle roofs should have a one-third otherwise the birds will crowd and pitch, while those covered with paper or metal may have a less pitch, or be almost flat; however, the greater the slope the longer the life of the roof. The shed or single-slope roof la adapted to houses up to 16 feet In width. It is one of the easiest styles to construct. It allows a high front to this house, and furnishes a northern slope for the roof on which roofing pnper will last longer than on a roof which faces the south. The combination and semlmonltor roofs are adapted for buildings from 16 to 24 feet wide, while either of these styles, or the monitor and the gable roof, may be used for wider buildings. The combinfitlon roof on a house over 16 feet wide gives the best head room at the least cost, reduces the amount of surplus air space, and gives a neat appearance to the buildings; while the semlmonltor^ and monitor types are best for wide houses which have a central alley, particularly brooder house*. The semlmonltor house usually faces south, while the monitor type4 of roof Is frequently used on buildings facing estst or w e s t The gable roof la used extensively for two-story buildings, for brooder houses, and for incubator eel* •era. This style of roof Is usually celled at or slightly above tht eaves, of the gable may be filled with straw fight to get on the highest roost. Scantling two by three Inches or two by four inches, with the upper edges rounded off, makes good roosts with either the wide or narrow surface up. Allow seven to ten Inches of roost space per fowl, according to the size of the bird. Roosts shonld be placed about 15 Inches apart, but the outside ones may be within ten inches of the edge of the dropping hoards. Nests may be plnced under the dropp'ng boards, on the partition walls, or In any convenient place where they do not take up floor space, and should be arranged so that the birds can get Into them easily. They should he 12 to 14 inches square and 12 to 18 Inches high, with a strip about four Inches high on the open side to retain the nesting material. Provide one nest for every four or five nens. Trap nests are essential In any careful breeding work, such as pedigree breeding, or the breeding of exhibition poultry. The big advantage of an Infertile egg Is that it will not deteriorate under high temperatures as will an that Is fertile. Farmers are not forbidden by law to feed wheat to their poultry, hui they are appealed to on the grounds o patriotism not to do this. Another Feminine Industry.

The finest meat in the world wouldn't do you any good one hundred miles away from your table. Swift & Company efficiency has made it possible, to place complete lines of products in the smallest and most remote communities. To be sure the work is done well Swift & Company, through its branch houses and car routes, brings the meat to the retail dealer for you. Swift & Company lays out car routes covering towns—big, little, medium size —which are not served by a Swift branch house. Salesmen find out in advance what is wanted by the dealers in «very town. They are followed by refrigerator cars loaded with retailers' orders, which are delivered at each town—fresh, clean, and sweet—once or twice each week. Swift St Company operates a large number of car routes like this, from fourteen distributing plants. This is a necessary and natural part of the packers' usefulness. It fits into the industry in an orderly, effective way. It makes better meat cheaper from one end of the land to the other. Swift & Company, U. S.

It is a war for justice, for truth, for right, and for human decency. Its financial aspects are minor aspects when measured against terms of human suffering and bloodshed. But still the question must be asked and must be answered by American men: "Shall the German mark conquer the American dollar? " s What the Dollar Stands For H= T h e American dollar stands for a business world of square dealing, of H ' equal opportunity to all people, of free commercial intercourse all over H | the world. g j You know what the German mark stands for—a commercial system as an §§ active instrument of foul plotting, espionage, and Prussian propaganda.

Dear Mr. Smith:— Mother and I have been spending our summer here on the Range. Your paper reaches UB each week and keeps us in touch with the affairs at Pinckney. Hibbing is the richest "village" in the world also one of the largest. The largest iron mine in the world is only a half mile away. I went underground with one of the mining engineers. We were down to a 300 foot level. It certainly waa some experience, for they were just sending off the night charges. I was in an adjoining tunnel at the time and the dynamite explosions were BO great that the dirt and rock started falling thru the heavy timber above us. It is great to see these mines when one atope to think that some of their contents will be hurled at the Germans. Game is very plentiful in this part of the country, especially about 40 miles from here at Grand Rapids, Minn. This town is located on the headwaters of the Mississippi River. It was here where I was awakened by the mournful howling of wolves. Deer are quite plentiful also. It has been growing all the afternoon. The forest was just white with snow as I came thru on the car from Virginia, Minn. We are leaving here to spend one week at Duluth, Minn, and then wiU return to Ann Arbor for the opening of college. When I am in Pinckney I will call at your office. Yours truly, John T. Lynch. . Fowlerville FAIR A£ain we come to tell you the dates ape Oct. 1,2,3, and 4,1918.

The Round-Up of a Turkey Drive. FAnEN TURKEYS FOR THE MARKET Finish Fowls When Demand Is Keen and Price Correspondingly Attractive. EXCELLENT PLAN OUTLINED New Corn Can Safely Be Fed if Fowls Are Gradually Accustomed to I t - Birds Always Make Best Gains on Free Range. The true test of expert turkey raising Is to be able to market u large percentage of the annual crop In the pink of market 'finish at a time when the demand Is keen and the price correspond inj?ly attractive. In fattening turkeys for the market an excellent plan la to begin early In October to feed night and morning, only feeding enough at a time so that the birds go away still feeling a little hungry, and gradually Increasing the quantity until they are gtven all they will clean tip three times a day during the week before marketing. Ry the latter feeding is meant that they are fed until they leave the feed and walk awny. Some turkey raisers feed oats during the first part of the fattening season, gradually changing to corn aa the weather becomes cooler. Previous to the war, Avheat was used Jn the same manner as oats. The majority, however, begin feeding heavily on corn about November 1. and since turkeys are not accustomed to such heavy feeding, Bcours often result especially If new corn Is used. New corn can be fed safely if the turkeys are gradually accustomed to it by feeding lightly at first and more heavily afterward- Confining turkeys during the fattening season to prevent their using so much energy in ranging has been tried to some extent, but with very little success. Those confined to a pen eat heartily for two or three days, but after this they lose their appetite and begin to lose flesh rapidly. On allowing them free range again, they pick up rapidly and are soon eating as heartily as ever. ^The better method Is to allow them free range, as It keeps them In good, healthy condition, and they are alwavs eager to be fed. Nuts From the Range. Nuts of various kinds are a natural fattening feed picked up by the turkeys on the range. Of these beechcuts, chestnuts, pecans and acorns pre the most commonly found by them. Many turkey growers in Texas depend <*frlely upon acorns for fattoriing their turkeys, and when these nuts are plentiful the birds are marketed In fairly good condition. The marketing season for turkeys is very short, running from the middle of November to the latter part of December. Most turkey raisers sell their bird* alive to poultry dealers, who either dress them or ship them alfre to city denier*. Farmers near the city markets, and particularly those in the middle Atlantic and New England ttrtss, often dress the turkeys and either sell them direct to the ceo- •sjsjnr or to city dealers. In some see* flnawf shortly before Thankativlng ( h m li heM what Is known aa tttrkay 4*yl On the day before the event •vary turkey grower in the neighborhoo6 fcfOa and dresses Ms turkeys sad the CsOvwtac morafiig brings them Into iown, where they are bid on and purchased by whatever buyers choose to be there, the birds going to the highest bidder. In sections in which turkeys are grown in large numbers, as in Texas, dressing plants have been built by poultry dealers, who buy the birds alive and dress them for the various city markets. In such cases practically all the turkey raisers sell to these dealers, who often send buyers out into the country to gather up a drove of several hundred birds by stopping at each farm as they pass, weighing whatever turkeys the farmer may have to sell, and adding them to those already collected. Six or eight men can drive a fiock of 1,000 turkeys 10 to 12 miles a day. As soon as possible after the turkeys are received at the dressing plant they are killed, dry-picked, cooled and packed in barrels or boxes for shipment. Killing and Dressing.. •In killing and dressing turkeys on the farm they should first be deprived of feed for 24 hours, but given plenty of fresh, clean water in order to clean the crop and intestines of all feed. When ready to kill, the bird should be hung up by the feet; holding the bird in one hand a sharp, narrow-bladed knife is used to sever the veins In the throat by making a small cut Inside the mouth on the right side of the throat at the base of the skull. After making this cut and bleeding begins, the knife is thrust up through the groove in the roof of the mouth and into the brain at the back part of the skull. On piercing the brain the bird gives a peculiar squawk, the feathers are loosened by a quivering of the muscles, and death is Instantaneous. In dry-plcklng the feathers should be plucked Immediately, and if the bird has been properly stuck they come out very easily. The tail and large wing feathers are removed first after which the body feathers are pulled out When the turkeys are to be marketed locally or are to be shipped but a short distance they are cooled to a temperature of about 35 degrees Fahrenheit by hanging in the open air, provided the weather is cool enough; otherwise they are plunged into ice water and kept there until thoroughly cooled. After cooling they are packed undrawn in boxes or barrels. It is Inadvisable for the producer without proper refrigerating facilities to ship dressed turkeys, as losses from improper cooling and from their being exposed to warm weather during transit are liable to occur. Aside from this It is seldom profitable to ship turkeys any great distance except In carload lots; when this Is done the turkeys are cooled to 82 degrees Fahrenheit packed In boxes or barrels, and shipped In refrigerator cars. Provide Plenty of Water. Water receptacles for poultry should be large enough to hold plenty of water to last at least 24 hours, so the fowls will never suffer from Isck of water. Drinking vessels should be carefully rinsed when fresh water Is given. If water is supplied irregularly, the hens will likely drink too much at a time. It should not be exposed to the sun's rays in summer or be silowed to freese In winter If this can be avoided. A flock of SO hens in good laying condition win require four to six quarts of water a day. Shade of some kind should be provided for poultry, and this can often be advantageously furnished by planting fruit trees (such as pear, plum, cherry and apple) la the ysrd. Oaaae Mve to a great age.

Difficulties of soldiers who formerly <vere successful business men, In paying last year's Income tax on this year's pay are illustrated by a story brought to Washington by an officer serving at one of the southern cantonments. Last February, the officer said, he explained to the men of his command that all married men would have to pay a tax on all their last year's earnings over $2,000, while unmarried men would have to pay on all incomes over $1,000. Coming to him later one of the men, a private, said : "I guess I won't be able to pay that Income tax. I haven't any money." "Oh, that's all rlght,n replied the officer, "you have until June to pay It and you can save it out of your pay by that time." "I am afraid I couldn't," responded the private, "I made $35,000 last year and I blew it all when I was called Into the army."

There is a strong tendency ID France to simplify street hats to the point of bare severity, and there is a strong effort here to trim all hats with a choice of buckles, ribbon, flowers, plumes, cords or embroidery. The sailor, with Its straight brim, has given place to a pinafore sailor Pinafore sailor, taken from the picturesque headgear of an older age, is kept in fashion and is shown here hi black velvet with a band of groagrain ribbon around'the crown. The corselet blouse of white, which is worn 4>ver a black satin skirt, is embroidered in flowers of black Jet and fastened with white crochet buttons. that was launched here early last spring. It is DOW made in felt and black velvet and Is sponsored by the good milliners. It rolls up from the bead and has a low, crushed crown that does not interfere in any way with the lines of the brim. This hat is untrlmmed, except for a crown-band of satin ribbon and a flat bow at the side, or rather, this is the style In which it is advocated for street wear and worn by well-dressed women; but certain milliners provide Its crown with a large wreath of colored roses or ragged chrysanthemums, and the effect is quite good. It is then appropriate for an afternoon h a t By the way, duplication is a strong point in the modern selection of clothes. The woman who thinks she must have every gown in her wardrobe different from the other, would be aghast at the knowledge that certain fashionable women are leading the way to having five gowns made for an entire season exactly alike, and five bats to go with them, exactly alike. The dressmakers have become accustomed to this Innovation during the last six months and they are now quite MOCK SEAMS IN NEW HOSIERY Demand for Full-FaeMoned Stocking* Caused Machine to Bo Invented to Satisfy Woman's Wishes. Of course every woman knows that a seam up the back of. a silk stocking bespeaks the distinction of that stocking. Seamed stockings, or as the manufacturer calls them, "Fall-fashioned" stockings, are the aristocrats of hosiery. One wears seamless hose that are bound to wrinkle at the ankle sooner or later, only when compelled by dire'necessity. The shops have been flooded with seamless stockings of late, because now that imports from Germany (where stockings usefl to come from) have ceased, American mills have not bean able to tnrn eat superior, full-fashioned hose fast enough to- supply the demand. One resourceful woman took a needle and whipped a seam down the back of her despised seamless stockings. Other women followed her bright example. Soon the canny, manufacturers discovered the clever ruse. New there' are that put used to it in the preparation of au autumn wurdrobe. A woman comes in, selects an entire costume with care arid attention to every detail, then orders as many as she needs for the season in different materials, weights and colors. One woman even ordered her four evening gowns made exactly ullke, merely changing the color. This is the essence • of economy- of time. The fashion was evolved out of thst necessity. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN FOLK Shots and Hats Should Harmonize; Velours Most Desired Coat Fabric— Gown* Without Trimming. —<c The all-white toilette possesses undeniable distinction. Chiffon evening gowns are absolutely without trimming. Wide tucks are seen on the skirts of the Paris dresses. Gabardine frocks are belted with narrow strips at suede. Flowered cretonnes make attractive odd waistcoats and smocks. Shoes and hats should harmonize if a costume is to be successful. One-piece dresses show plain flat backs with the fronts trimmed. White lawn and lingerie collars are very charming on linen frocks. Dresses of navy voile, printed foulard are trimmed with beads. Velours, in spite of their scarcity, are the most desired coat fabrics. The latest boudoir caps are raad«? of organdie and scalloped daintily. Tucks and Tucks.

A French poster also is reproduced in the German poster and the meaning so twisted as to make it appear that France 'Is very badly in need of food. Two millions of the booklets have been printed and will he distributed in various parts of the country, particularly In theaters where -Liberty Loan speakers take the book as their text. The enormous figure of a Russian soldier Is the first object on the pouter to strike the eye. He stands with hands la his overcoat, pockets, indicative of the fact that he is through fighting. Beside him stand* Uncle Sam holding a small figure, designed to represent the United States array, In his right hand. In hie left hand TJnel«» Sam carries a banner which bears the inscription, ''America threatens to send transport of one-half million men. But It cannot ship them I" Below Uncle Sam are theee words: "It is impossible for America to train and fit ont in time for the European war a suitable and sufficiently large army and provide It with the necessary reenforcements." The eatchliae of this section of the poster Is Russia's army of millions could not down Germany," find on the skirt of the Russian soldier's overcoat are printed these words: "Russia used up altogether fifteen million men in v a l o r On the opposite side of :he poster h this £*ichllne: "England's sea powet and England's merchant marine havt not decided the war!" Below thi*> line appears a huge figure intended to represent the English shipping facilities at the outbreak of the war, which bears these words: "England went into the war with twenty million gross* registered tons of freight space." Alongside this figure of a ship is a drawing designed to show Uncle Saw carrying the United States tonnage under his left arm. The caption above Uncle Sam reads: "Can America replace England on sea?" . On the ship which Uncle Sam carries is primed this inscription: "Three million gross registry tons," and below that Is another inscription which says: "At the beginning of the war America had only a tonnage of three million gross registered tons." Commenting on these statements, the poster further declares "America cannot Increase her gross registered tons for 1918 by more than two to two and a half million tons. Our U-boats sink twice as Quickly as England and America can build!" The answer of the publicity bureuu to the two sections of the poster referring to the transportation of men und the building of ships follows: "At the moment the bulletin boards of Germany scoffed the possibility of America sending a force to France, there were already more than a million fighting men overseas, and transports, walled about by the American navy-defying the cowardly submarines, were bearing every month hundreds of thousands more. The gauge is set and the summer of 1919 will see 4,000,000 fighting American men in France. Nor will there be a lack of ships to transport and sustain them. The Liberty Bond buyer is fast giving to America a merchant marine that will be the peer of any in the world. America launched in July alone 635,011 tons. Losses to allied and neutral shipping combined, from every cause, for the last six months, amounted to 2,089,393 tons. "The distance from New York to England, the Boche points out," comments the bureau of publicity publication, "is two hundred times greater than that from England to France, from which he spells 'Opportunity for the German U-boats.' Pitiful is this Uoust In face of the facts. Instead of the U-boat being an unconquerable engine of war, as the Hun confidently expected, it has become the slinking foe of fishing smacks and other isolated craft. The vast army of Liberty Bond buyers, thirty millions strong, has built an unbroken bridge over the Atlantic ocean Into the heart of the enemy's strongholds. Across this bridge there are streaming our millions of fighting men, as good as the world has ever known, munitions and equipment that have been wrought by those back home, whose determination is that the American fighting man shall lack nothing that he needs." As a back-handed slap at the French, the German propagandists have reproduced a French poster which pleads with French people to eat less In or-. der that the United States may send over more man power. The French poster pointed out that If every person In France would save a hundred grams of food a day that the American reinforcements could be increased a division a month. The French catchline on this poster was "Does France want wheat or men?" and the German poster remarks "Also the allies are now beginning to have their doubts!" In a further effort to convince the German people that It will be Impossible for the United States to transport troops to France, the German section of the poster^says that ten tons of freight space are required for every soldier In crossing the water. The truth is that a soldier requires less than one-half this amount of space. Summing up all the falsehoods which the German poster contains, the booklet says: "The War Lord of Germany may have the futile hope that his people will devour in the place of food, such statements- as the foregoing. Falsehoods, however, are poor substitutes and are likely to aggravate rather than appease when the deluded people of Germany learn that every requirement of the American soldier will be met by his patriotic and unqualified support back home. If s single soldier required ten tons of freight space, it would be given him Bnt the truth is he requires less than ono-half of that. "As for Germany's statement that even if the United States built from two and a half million gross registered tons in 1918, it would not mean deliverance for the allies, no further comment Is needed than that by July of this year the 2,060,000-ton mark hns been passed. If further refutation of the Hun boast of his U-boat prowess were needed, It might be stated that less than 500 American seiners have lost their lives in the present war as a result of U-boat struck*'• Closing the booklet Is this striking quotation from Secretary McAdoo: T h e Fourth Liberty loan is the bar rnsr which will precede the victorious thrust of o v army.** SMfSGIOQL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATKR, D. D., T«»c&«r ot English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute oi Chicago.) (Copyright, i91S, Western Newspaper Union.X) - LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 29 REVIEW. SUBJECT—What It Means to Be a Christian. SELECTION FOR KEADING-1 John 3:1-24. GOLDEN TEXT—My little children. let u« not love in word, neither in tongue; but In deed, and truth.—1 John 5:l&. Perhaps the best way to review the lessons of this quarter will be to take the several lessons and note their hearing on the subject chosen for review; namely : What tt means to be a Christian. In order to get the best results, assignment .should be made of the several lessons to different parties to come prepared to give the teaching of the particular lesson on the subject. The following is suggested as a possible way of presenting the matter. Lesson I. It means that each Individual must exercise fnlth in Jesus Christ as a personul Savior. One may have his heart opened by the Lord while listening to the Word of God at a stated meeting, like Lydia. or be convinced through the manifestation of the mighty power of God, as the Philippian jailer. In all cases it is the one Savior and the one faith. Lesson II. It means that those who have really exercised faith In the Lord Jesus Christ will attentively read God's Word. Even a great statesman like the Ethiopian Eunuch will be blessed In its reading, for. the Word of God converts the soul, makes wise the siropie, puts gladness Into the heart, enlightens the eyes, satisfies the longing soul, warns against dangers, and brings reward to those who obey its precepts. Lesson III. It means a life of personal prayer and communion with God. The one who has become a child of God has the glorious privilege of coming to him with his needs with the assurance that God will supply them. God is more willing to give to his children than any earthly father is to his children. Lesson IV. It means a life of obedience to the Word and will of God. Prompt and definite obedience will be rendered, even to the separation from business, and the ties of nature, when such stand in the way. Peter, Andrew, James and John obeyed, and It meant to thera great spiritual blessings. From fishing for fish, they were promoted to fishing for men. Obedience to God pays. The disciple of Christ will treasure up his words. Lesson V. , It means growth in grace. Jesus himself grew in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man. Merely accepting Christ is not enough; there must be growth. Lesson VI. It means a life of helpfulness to others. One who has been made a partaker of the Divine nature will, like his master, give himself in helpful service to others. He will be a neighbor to the needy and unfortunate, even as the Good Samaritan. Being good In himself, he will be doing good to others. He will use every opportunity to do good. Lesson VII. It means Attendance at the place of worship, receiving the teaching of the Word of God, partaking of the communion,, and rendering service in some capacity In the church, Lesson VIII. It means confessing Christ before men, and waiting with expectant hope for the coming of Jesus Christ from Heaven. The grand incentive for faithfulness in witnessing for Christ is the assurance that ho will come again. Lesson IX. It means that we will five of our possessions to the poor and needy, love our enemies, and refrain from censorious judgment God estimates our gifts, not by their sise but by what we have left Lesson X. It means that one will strive to conquer bis evil propensities, not allow covetousness to master him as did Ahab, and separate himself from those who wallc In darkness. He will exercise great caution lest he become overcome by the devil. Lessen XI. It means being holy and true, in order that we may preserve from corruption the great mass of men and enlighten those la darkness, preaching the Gospel to every creature, conscious that the presence and power of Christ will abide. Lesson Xli. It means that every talent entrusted to us win be put to use, so that when the Lord comes we can make an account to him which win •score his commendation and reward. Th# Qrtatact Teachings. There are no songs comparable to the songs of Zlon; no orations equal to those of the prophets; and no politics like these which the Scriptures teach, -Milton. 5£ PINCKNEY DISPATCH , u OVER THE TOP 99 By An American Arthur Guy Empey S o l d i e r W h o W e n t Machine Gunner, Serving in France OopyrKfe* 191?, by Artfcnr Qv? C H A P T E R XXVII—Continued. — 2 7 — Tommy generally replies that he did hot stop to figure it out when he was hit. One very nice-looking, overenthusiastic young thing, stopped at my bed and asked, "What wounded you in the face?" In a polite but bored tone I answered, MA rifle bullet." With a look of disdain she passed to the next bed, first ejaculating, "Ohl Only a bullet? I thought It was a shell." Why she should think a shell wound was more of a distinction beats me. I don't see a whole lot of difference myself. The American Women's War hospital was a heaven for wounded men. They were allowed every privilege possible conducive with the rules at»d military discipline. The only fault was that the men's passes were restricted. To get a pass required an act of parliament Tommy tried many tricks to get out, but the commandant an old Boer war officer, was wise to them all, and it took a new and clever ruse to make him affix his signature to the coveted slip of paper. As soon as it would get dark many a patient ellmbed over the wall and went "on his own," regardless of many signs staring him in the face, "Out of bounds for patients." Generally the nurses were looking the other way when one of these night raids started. I hope this information will get none of them into trouble, tat I cannot resist the temptation to let the commandant know that occasionally we put it over on him. One afternoon I received a note, through our underground channel, from my female visitor, asking me to attend a party at her house that night I answered that she could expect me and to meet me at a certain place on the road well known by all patients, and some visitors, as "over the wall." I told her I would be on hand at seventhirty. About seven-fifteen I sneaked my overcoat and cap out of the ward and hid It In the bushes. Then I told the nurse, a particular friend of mine, that I was going for a walk in the rose garden. She winked and I knew that everything was all right on her end. Going out of the ward, 1 slipped Into the bushes and made for the wall. It was dark as pitch and I was groping • through the underbrush, when suddenly I stepped into space and felt myself rushing downward, a horrible bump, and blackness. When I came to my wounded shoulder was hurting horribly. I was lying against a circular wall of bricks, dripping with moisture, and far away I could hear the trickling of water. 1 had In the darkness fallen Into an old disused well. But why wasn't I wet? According to all mles I should have been drowned. Perhaps I was and didn't know It As the shock of my sudden stop gradually wore off It came to me that I was lying on a ledge and that the least movement on my part 'would precipitate me to the bottom of the well. I struck a match. In Its faint glare I saw that I was lying in a circular hole about twelve feet deep—the well had been filled In! The dripping I had heard came from a water pipe over on my right With my wounded shoulder it was impossible to shinny up the pipe. I could not yell for help, because the rescuer would want to know how the accident happened, and I would be haled before the commandant on charges, 1 just had to grin and bear It, with the forlorn hope that one of the returning night raiders would pass and I could give him our usual signal of "slas-s-s-t," which would bring him to the rescue. Every half-hour I could hear the dock in the village strike, each stroke bringing forth a muffled volley of curses on the man who had dug the welt After two hours I heard two men talking in low voices. I recognised Corporal Coot, an ardent "night raider." He heard my "slss-s-s-s" and came to the edge of the hole. I explained my predicament and amid a lot of impertinent remarks, which at the time I did not resent I was. soon fished out. - Taking off our boots, we sneaked Into the ward. I was sitting on my bed In the dark, just starting to undress, when the man next to nfe, "Ginger" Phillips, whispered, * fOp it, Tank, 'ere comes the aatrotv* I tmaedUteiy got under the covers and feigned sleep.. The matron stood talking In low tooes to the night narse and IfsU asleep. Wlea X twos* 1» the moraiag tae over me. An awful sight met my dyea. The coverlet on the bed and the sheets were a mass of mud and green «11 me. She was a good sport all right, and hustled to get clean clothes and sheets so that no one would get wise, but "on her OWB" she gave me a good tongue lashing but did not report me. One of the Canadians in the ward described her as being "a Jake of a good fellow." Next visiting day I had an awful time explaining to my visitor why I had not met her at the appointed time and place. And for a week every time I passed a patient he would call, "Well, well, here's the Yank. Hope you are feeling well, old top." The surgeon in our ward was an American, a Harvard unit man, named Frost. We nicknamed him "Jack Frost" He was loved by all. If a Tommy was-to be cut up he hadJio oh- >ction to undergoing the operation If *Jack Frost" was to wield the knife. Their confidence in him was pathetic | He was the best sport I have ever met One Saturday morning the commandant and some "high up" officers were inspecting the ward, when one of the patients who had been wounded in the head by a bit of shrapnel, fell on the floor in a fit. They brought him round, and then looked for the ward orderly to carry the patient back to his bed at the other end of the ward. The orderly was nowhere to be found—like our policemen, they never are when needed. The officers were at a loss how to get Palmer into his bed. Doctor Frost was fidgeting around in a nervous manner, when suddenly with a muffled "d n" and a few other qualifying adjectives, he stooped down and took the man in his arms like a baby—he was no feather, either—and staggered down the ward with him, put The Author Just Before Leaving for Home. him in bed and undressed him. A low murmur of approval -came from the patients. Doctor Frost got very red, and as soon as he had finished undressing Palmer, hurriedly left the ward. The wound in my face had almost healed and I was a horrible-looking sight—the left cheek twisted Into a knot, the eye pulled down, and my mouth pointing In a north by northj- west direction. I was very downhearted and could imagine, myself daring the rest of my life being shunned by all on account of the repulsive scar. Doctor Frost arranged for ms to go to the Cambridge Military hospital st Aldershot for a special operation to try and make the scar presentable. I arrived at the hospital and got an awful shock. The food was poor and the discipline abnormally strict. No patient was allowed t o sit on his bed, and smoking was permitted only at certain designated hours. The face specialist did nothing for me except to look at the wound. I made application for a transfer back to Paignton, offering to pay my transportation. This offer was accepted, and after two weeks' absence, ones again I srrtvsd hi afsnsey ward, an hops gone. The seat day after my return Doctor Frost stopped at my bed sad said: I "Watt Bmpey, if you want me to try and see4 what I can do with that Til do it, but you are taking an awful chance." 1 answered: "Well, doctor, Steve Brodle took a chance; he hulls from New York and so do L" Two days after the undertaker squad carried me to the operating ruom or "pictures," as we called them because of the funny films we see under ether, and the operation was performed. It was a wonderful piece of surgery and a marvelous success. From now on that doctor can have my shirt More than once some poor soldier has been brought into the ward in a dying condition, resulting from loss of blood and exhaustion caused by his long Journey from the trenches. After an examination the doctor announces that the only thing that will save him is a transfusion of blood. Where is the blood to come from? He does not have to wait long for an answer—several Tommies Immediately volunteer their blood for their mate. Three or four are accepted; a blood test ts made, and next day the transfusion takes place and there is another pale face In the ward. Whenever bone is needed for some special operation, there are always men willing to give some—a leg if necessary to save some mangled mate from being crippled for life. More than one man will go through life with another man's blood running through his veins, or a piece of his rib or his shinbone in his own anatomy. Sometimes he never even knows the name of his benefactor. The spirit of sacrifice is wonderful. For all the suffering caused this war ts a blessing to England—it has made new men of her sons; has welded all classes into one glorious whole. And I can't help saying that the doctors, gisters, and nurses in the English hospitals, are angels on earth. I love them all and can never repay the care and kindness shown to me. For the reat of my ilfe the Red Cross will be to me the symbol of Faith, Hope and Charity. After four months in the hospital, I went before an examining board and w as discharged from the service of his Britannic majesty as "physically unfit for further war service." YIELDS "APPLE OF SODOM" Curious Plant Which Grows on the Borders of the Deed Sea Produces This Fruit The Dead sea is situated In the southeast part of Palestine, and is called by the Arabs Bahr Loot, or Sea of Lot It is about 47 miles long, with an average breadth of nine miles. Its depth varies considerably. It Is fed by the Jordan from the north, and by many other streams, but has no apparent outlet, its superfluous water being supposed to be entirely carried off by the evaporation. The north shores of the sea are marked by the blackened trunks and branches of trees which are incrusted with salt as is everything that is exposed to the spray of this sea. On the southern shore Is the remarkable mass of rock called Udsum (Sodom). It is a narrow, rugged ridge of hill extending Ave miles northwest and consisting of rock salt To the north of Udsum, and at no great distance, is the supposed site of the ancient Sodom. On the borders of the Deed sea a curious plant grows which yields fruit called the "Apple of Sodom," beautiful on the outside but bitter to the taste, and, when mature, filled with fiber and dust The mean level of the Dead sea Is 1,292 feet below the level of the Mediterranean. The water contains from 24 to 26 per cent of salts, of which 7 per cent is common s s l t A salt-water fish put into the Dead sea perishes at once. Owing to Its density due to salt the water of the sea Is very buoyant Making the Dandelion Beautiful.

War la not a pink tea, but in a worthwhile cause Mke~ours, mud, rats, cooties, sheila, wounds, or death Itself, are far outweighed by the deep sense of satisfaction felt by the uiaa who does his bit.

When the time comes he rises to the occasion, is up and at it, and is surprised to find how much more easily than he anticipated he fills his responsibilities. It is really so "out thtire."

THE END. ROMEO WAS CLAD IN KHAKI Played the Popular Qame, Choosing the Dinner Table to Work on Af. fectlorn of Waitress, It is natural that we should be eager to do whatever we can for the boys in khaki; but sometimes, when the patriotic zeal is not accompanied by a sympathetic imagination, the beneficiary may pray to be delivered from our friends, writes "An American Woman" in the Outlook. A homesick lad is likely to want either an atmosphere like that of his own home or else the exotic flavor the expectation of which has helped him to undertake the great adventure so cheerily. In one family Rmong my neighbors the son of the house was scandalized when one of their guests at Sunday dinner made the perfectly simple and natural request that he be permitted after the meal to repair to the kitchen where the pretty waitress was. Permission was denied, but young Komeo was not discouraged, and this letter came "To the Girl That Walts for Mrs. So-and-So: Ynu are the best ever. Are you keeping company with anybody?" He added his name and a few personal details, and this delicious bit of identification : "If you don't know which soldier wrote this, it is the one that touched your hand under the (fish when you passed the potatoes." And Spain, Tool Although neutral Spain may not be in the war, the Spaniards are certainly In It. The French have been perfectly well aware that hundreds of Spanlards joined the Foreign Legion, at the beginning of the war; so that Paris was not taken the least by surprise when 300 Spanish soldiers paraded in French uniform to receive decorations for valor. The Spanish colony patrt* otically welcomed them with fiery speeches, while the French loaded them with medals. Three received the reward of the Legion o? Honor, and scores the Croix Mllltalre and the Croix de Guerre. Since, from a strictly legal point of view, the Spanish legionaries have imperiled their nation's neutrality.

In a comiuuiucafiou intended for rhe gaiiiJajueti of employers of labor un- jst Marshal General Crowtler says : have noticed, in the general expressions of the public attitude which reach this, oflice, two frequent features which lead me to the present CHJU»- ments. One of these fen tares is the belief that the process of awarding <lo ferred classification to a resist nun requires merely the tilling' mit of rhe questionnaire, and that the selective service boards will perceive the propriety of making the deferment, without the assistance furnished by the registrant's formal cU.irn indicating t h e deferment desired. The other feat u r e is the employer's failure to realize his responsibility to intervene In aiding the board's determination, and therefore to inform himself fully on all t h e considerations which should affect the decision as to deferment. 1. As to the first mentioned belief. it must be pointed out that if it were universally acted upon, the process of classification would be seriously hampered and delayed. Someone must indicate that the individual case is one which should arrest Ihe special attention of the hoards in respect to the regi s t r a n t ' s occupational status. T h e boards do not possess a superhuman omnlscence. Boards Will Make Examination. The boards will do all that they possibly can. on their own initiative, to reach a just decision by a complete examination of the questionnaire, even where no claim Is expressly made. A registrant is therefore at liberty, if he sees fit. to trust to the scrutiny of The fionrds to discover the necessity for his deferment. , Nevertheless, t h e boards will welcome and will need all the aid Mint cmi be furnished by the ind'caiion of a claim made for deferment. 2. Why should the employer, or other third person, in such fuses, m a k e the claim? Because the employer ir this situation represents the nation, because (in the statutory phrase) "the maintenance of the military establishment or of national interest during the emergency" requires t h a t some well-advised third person should look After thnt national interest, which t h e registrant himself may not have sufficiently considered. It is often forgotten that the selective draft Is only one element in the depletion of n particular industry's rrmn-power. A second and large elem e n t Is found in the voluntary withd r a w a l s for enlistment : how large thl* is tuny be seen from the circumstance Ihat the total Inductions by draft have reached some 2,000.0()0, while the torn; enlistments in army and nnvy amount to some 1.400.000—nearly Ihree-qnnr ters a* many. A third element, very large, but unknown as to its precise extent, lias been the transfer of labor power from one Indnstrv to a n o t h e r namely. Into the distinctively wfir in dust Ties offering the Poincements of higher wages. How relatively small, in actual effect, h a s been the effect of the selective draft Is seen in the fact that, for nil the occupations represented In the 8,700.000 classified regist r a n t s of January, 1018. the percentage of the entire Industrial, population represented by the class 1 regist r a n t s amounted to only ("5 per cent. Tt ran as low ns 3 per cent for some occupations, and correspondingly higher for some other occupations: but the national average was only 0 per cent. Any notably larger depletion In particular industries must therefore have been due, partly to enlistments, and In probably greater degree, to voluntary transfers into other Industries. Must Remember Nation's Needs. These other Influences are therefore to be kept In mlntl by employers and others, In weighing the question whether t h e be*t solution. In the national interest. Is to ask for the deferment of Individuals or groups of men. Such deferments may assist the immediate situation in the particular establishm e n t : hut they merely force the a r m y and the navy to seek elsewhere for the same number of men thus deferred. T h e quantitative needs of the military forces are known and imp e r a t i v e ; and any given quantity of deferments will ultimately have to be made up by the depletion of some other occupation. T h u s it becomes t h e employer's duty to consider these aspects of deferment, in seeking t h a t solution of his own problem which best comports with the national interest. T h e keynote of purpose for nil of ns ought to he. and T am sure will he, t h a t wise and profoundly significant p h r a s e in the act of congress u n d e r which we operate. **the maintenance of t h e military establishment or the effective operation of the military force* or the maintenance of national interest during t h e emergency. s .. , Would Return I t It w s * s very hot d a y and the kindhearted icemin had jrlven a little irirl a piece of Ice.

WOMAN GREAT HELP IN LIBERTY LOAN WORK Has Become Integral Part in Sharing Obligation of Financing the W a r . By MISS GRACE D I X O N , ^ ^ ^ Federal Reserve Director for Women in Seventh District. One of the great truths we have learned in this war is the need of men and women working together understandlngiy and sympathetically—animated by the same spirit of helpfulness, of fearlessness, of enthusiasm. facing definitely one goal with equal honor, equal power. For men and women working together with unanimity of purpose make the ideal service for the Ration. Taking Lincoln's great words '**Ve all need to work together to the end" that loyalty of the people by the people shall not perish from the earth. To write of the activities of the women's work in the Seventh district Is a pleasure, as we have become such an integral part in sharing the obligation of financing the war. T h a t the work of the women and men might he more effectively co-ordinated in the district, the director for women has been made a member of the campaign committee as well as of the executive Committee of the federal reserve banking committee. The state chairmen, county chairmen and city chairmen have been made members of the executive committees of the men's organization In their respective'states, counties and cities. The definite activities for women shall be : 1. All women's organizations that a r e listed strictly under women, such as clubs, fraternal societies, lodges, leagues, guilds, e t c : 2. All elementary and high schools, private and parochial schools. 3. All booths, such as street, hotel, restaurant and cafeteria, department store and theater booths. 4. Women shall co-operate with the men's committee In churches, universities, ward organizations and any other committees where they can be of service. It was also recommended t h a t no separate reports of the amount of subscriptions taken be given by women, hut t h a t on account of the volunteer subscription and allotment plans, credit be given equally to both men and women it Is advisable for women county chairmen to have a distinct and complete understanding with the county chairmen of the men's organization of this fact, so t h a t no misunderstanding will arise on this subject dnrin* the campaign. Where regular campaigns for soliciting subscriptions are made by both men and women, a separate record m u s t of coarse, be kept and reported. Dr. Anna Shaw's admonition to t h e women of America "That every woman should tie her child to the United States government by a little bond" is the -slogan that Is the Insnlratlon of our worker*. Through otir various churches, schools, clubs, we hope to reach every home In thN country—for we realise that If we can touch am) kindle the patriotic mlor of women and bring women of diversified experiences and s t a n d a r d s of living to a real 1 r a t i op of their responsibilities, t h a t upon the penyJe who remain at home rests t h e obligation of financing this war, then indeed a r e we fulfilling our mission a s we should.

WE'RE ON THE TEAM; WE'RE IN THE GAME; WE'RE OUT TO WIN By A. A L O N Z O STAGG, Famous A t h l e t ic Coach University of -•-*» i • • Chicago. 1 said to a friend recently that I had not felt so poor In 34 years, or since I was a freshman at. Yale working my way through. "Well, don't you think we ought all of us to feel poor these days?" was the reply. That" is just the point. We ought. If we don't fee! on the strain most of the time these days I doubt whether we are doing our full duty in helping win the war. My observation is that we never Accomplish much in this life without being dead in earnest, without hard work and without self-sacrifice, and I' can't figure out how we can win this war without all of us co-operating most generously along these lines. First of all, unless we feel dead in earnest about our winning the war there is something wrong with us and it were better that n mil! stone were hanged about our neck and we were drowned in the depth of the sea. No one will work hard and make personal sacrifices unless his heart is in the enterprise. The beautiful part of this affair is that we can all be in it—we are all on the big team with a chance to play the game to our limit. At present we must play the particular position which is assigned to us, and play it for all that Is in us whether we like our ,1ob or not. The main thing and the loyal and the patriotic thing is that we give to our utmost of time and energy and money. Putting the fourth Liberty Loan across means that each one of us must give that uttermost of time and energy and money. We're on the team, we're in t h e game, we're out to win. " Now l e f s get down under It and root an^ lift and boost until we cross the goal line. THE FARM AND THE WAR jj - i By L. H.
