Pinckney, Livingston L-ou M ic:uj£an T hursday Oct. 10, 1 (H No. 41 DESPERADOES ] N PINCKNEY Crack Bank Safe While rfalance of Gang Shoot at Citizens Who Interfere. § Wants, For Sale Etc. Currency to *he Amount of J$5.000 Taken Cracksmen Escape About two o'clock Wednesday morning Misd Allie HorY, the night operatur of t h e Pinckney telephone exchange heard unusual noises in t h e bank bf?- low the telephone room. Assured t h a t b u r g l a r s were a t work s h e remained quiet and it is undoubtedly well for her t h a t she did so, for the g a n g showed by their subsequent actiors t h a t they were desperadoes who would stop a t nothing to accomplish their «n:.s. After t hey had worked ah wile a t the vault an ex plosion followed which was loud enough to awaken many citizens. J o h n Dinkel, who lives diagonally across t h e square from t h e bank, was the first one t o come out and tired his shotgun a t t h e gang. They returned the fire and ordered him to keep quiet or they would murder him. He fired hia remaining cartridges, however, b e - fore giving up the a t t a c k . In t h e meanwhile Thos. R.-ad, vvh) lives n e x t t o Mr. Dinkel, opened his front door and with a flashlight proceeded to investigate. H i s light drew a charge of B . B. shot, hitting the door and missing Mr. Read by inches. Hastily closing the door he w e n t to t h e barn ! in the rear, secured his shotgun and again came into the fray. Several shots w e r e exchanged in this b a t t l e and Mr. Read escaped unhurt, b u t as his ammunition w a s exhausted, he also was obliged to desist. Barney Lynch also came out to invest i g a t e , b u t t h e hurglars ordered him back t o t h e house, and, having no weapon he was compelled to obey. While t h e b a t t l e w a s progressing tWG of the b u r g l a r s remained, a t work in t h e bank. Explosion followed explosion, t h e last b u n g t h e heaviest, shortly after which the burglars loft. As «oon a s sruMleem; d if safe.

The robbers ]<-ft in a Urge c a r ; stationed west of town ar.d on their 1 arrival at Gregory were fired npor, by j Dan Denton, who shot at. them several j t i m e s with a revolver. He is not sure j w h e t h e r he made a hit or not. Mr. Denton, L a w r e n c e Mcdlear and Mr. H o w l e t t followed t h e b a n i i l s in an auto until their c a r quit. Securing another c a r they followed t h e car to G r a s s Lake, b u t other t r a c k s in the road confused them and they were obliged to grve up t h e chase. Mr. Geo. W. Teeple, proprieter of the bank, states t h e burglars got away with about $5,000 in c u r r e n c y , b u t overlooked $100 in change and between $10,000 and $15,000 in negotiable securities. The bank is fully insured against burglar loss so the bank is in no way crippled except for the inconvenience caused by the d i s a r r a n g e m e n t as a result of the night's work. A very gratifying evidence of the confidence the pabHc feels t o w y r i t h e Pinckney Exchange Bank was shown the next morning. In less than two hours after banking over $2,500 w a s placed on deposit at the bank. The banking business will continue as usual. Mr. Teeple wishes all who have valuable papers of a private na tare in the safety deposit vault to call at once and examine the papers, some . a r e slightly damaged. A stranger entered the L.

The gaa was of inferior quality, service erratic and indifferent and the gaa company showed just about as much (or rather about as little) regard for the people who are paying the bills, as Pinckd. y people are are stiown. The_D ' roit company used t h e tactics th«t pnhiic utility companies usually resort to on such occasions. Thfiy claifii a ihey were doing business without profit, threatened to go out of business and leave the city in the dark, but whether the usual line of argument, BO often successful before a weak minded council whose incomes need augmenting on account of heavy election expense*. *»» u*ed, is of course not known. On this occasion, however, t h e ge*f company's previous service waa so poor (not so poor as Pinckney h a s been com t> o io submit to, however) that the ei I Z - P * *-xerteri a powerful influence oi the c »imcil and the result was bette j, if and service and a reduction of t h f trice from $l 2."i to $ 75 per 1000 cubi< feet. Th* argument the citizens of Detf oi and the council used w a s limply that the. must have better service and-cheaper g a s or the compaor mast vacate the Would it not he a good plan for th council to ascertain if thi3 i3 t h e sentiment of the people, and if so insist on getting justice for t h e village and al30 protect the interests of private patrons The sentiment voiced by a large number of taxyayera ia that wa can dispense with t h e s t r e e t lights until better service is secured with a s a t i s - factory g u a r a n t e e for goo i service for the future and many a r e in favor of utdng the money so saved for village improvement or to help t h e w a r t o a speedy finish. Many housewives a r e heartily in fav- 3 or of using kerosene litfht indefinitely; ^ rather than accept the service rendered throughout the summer and 10 o'clock "lights out" ia also unpopular. If the Dispatch is simply publishing he sentiment expressed time and again with many repeated requests for such publication. Tne village council can easily aacer* ain if this paper is right of wrong in the stand it has taken and if convinced ve are right the counciluten can be de* pend d upon to either g e t a satisf acory and binding guarantee from the C.inton Electric Lighting Co. that it -vili give satisfactory service at reason* 4ble prices or else notify t h e company :o remove its wires from the viUage and give another co apany the contract o. lighting the village.

No government, however, has spoken officially. At Paris newspapers are unanimous in demanding a "complete victory" and that Germany lay down arms. London papers assert the Kaiser "mast throw up the sponge." All talk in Washington is that an armistice cannot be considered while Germans hold a foot of foreign soil and that Germany in desperation is trying to sate its territory from invasion. Emperor William in addressing his army and navy stated peace had been offered, but only an "honorable peace." He said if his offer waB refused he believed Germany would prove strong enough to defend its own land, though he admitted the hour was grave and the Macedonia front had collapsed. Negotiations Flatly Rejected- London—Austria-Hungary, according to a Rome dispatch, has again approached the Vatican with a request to initiate peace negotiations. The request wag flatly rejected, the dispatch states. Newspapers Want Complete Victory. Paris — Unconditional surrender characterizes the general comment in Paris on the demand for peace sent by the Central powers to President Wilson. It is felt here Germany and her allies have not gone far enough in their request to the president for an armistice and although they have stated they are willing to talk peace on President Wilson's plans, they have not shown submission, such as was forced upon Bulgaria. The Paris newspapers are unanimous in their demand for complete victory. The present peace move is sneered at. A demand is made for the entire submission of Germany and that the Germans be disarmed. HERE IS T E X T OF PEACE BIO MADE TO U. 3. Amsterdam.—The text of the note forwarded by the imperial German chancellor, Prince Maximilian, to 4 President Wilson, through the Swiss government, folfoMows: "The German government requests the president of the United States to take in hand the restoration of peace, acquaint all the billigerent states of this request and Invite them to send plenipotentariea for the purpose of opening negotiations. "It accepts the program set forth by the president of the United States in hie' message to congress January 8 and in his later pronouncement, especially hit speech of September 27, as a basis for peace negotiations. "With a view to avoiding further bloodshed, the German government requests Immediate conciu. slon of an armistice on land and water and In the air." It is announced that Turkey will take a similar step. Forecast Instant Rejection. Washington—Instant rejection by the United States will be the fate of the latest peace proposals from the Central powers. President Wilson will handle the situation, and handle it in a hurry. He is expected to act as soon &s the state department receives officially the text of the notes from Berlin, and. Vienna. There was no disposition in official circles to distinguish between the German and Austrian moves, as the proposals are deemed but another step In the great peace offensive now under way. Because the two governments are acting in accordance on the matter, word of similar action on the part of Turkey is expected momentarily. It can be stated semi-offidaily, however, that peace is impossible at the present time as far as either Germany or Austria is concerned. The reason It is impossible is because they have made it so. Officials expressed disgust at the hypocrisy which cloaks the present proposals, and which glares from beneath the camouflage of good faith. Here are the reasons they advance: The miliary situation has made the move necessary and therefore reveals It aa a diplomatic attempt to avert the disaster German armies face on the field of battle. Germany has undertaken some reforms and appointment of Prince Max of Baden, termed a "parlor radical", aa imperial chancellor, la cited. But It is pointed omt, aa Improved military situation would allow the mflitartate to get rid of Prince Max and his co-workers aa easily aa it was possible to displace von Hertling, Mfcheclm and other chancellors. Peace at this Umax it aleo was aaid, vonld leave Oermamy with the aaelede i a mighty army, with which gfeej again could Jeopardize tranquility the whole world hopes to experience, once a real peace is obtained. As further evidence of the hypocrisy of the German move, and the Austrian move, too, for that matter, officials j point the request for peace comes at ; a time when German armies are wantonly destroying towns and villages In France and Belgium, while politicians in Berlin and Vienna are working for a "German peace." In addition, German'armies still occupy other alien \ territory and evacuation of all occui pied territory ie only one of President Wilson's 14 principles. The matter of real concern to the administration is the effect the latest peace offensive will have on the Liberty loan. It may cause some persons to withhold their support, it was suggested, because of the belief the struggle will soon end. This is the chief reason why the president will act quickly is the matter and dispose of It for once and all, it was said. Kaiser Wants Colonies Returned. Amsterdam.—The immediate suspension of hostilities has been proposed by the imperial German chan. cellor, Prince Maximilian, in the Reichstag, says the Berlin correspondent of the Tijd. The Entente AL lies are to be asked to state their terms. The chancellor's proposal embraced also the dispatch of plenipotentaries to a neutral place to discuss the question of a league for national arbitration* and disarmament The plenipotentaries are further to be empowered to discuss the creation of a federal Austria, the right of self determination for Russian frontier states, the restoration and indemnification of Belgium, autonomy for Alsace-Lorraine and the return of the German colonies.

Sleeper when told that the German Chan, cellor is aaid to have sent a request that President Wilson take up the German offer with the other Allied Powers aaid: "No peace terms should be considered other than actual and uunconditional surrender. Germany has wreaked too much damage on the civilised world to escape without re. paimtion, as the peace terms proposed by Imperial Chancellor MaxlmlUlan would enable her to do.

With the American Army on Champagne Front—The American troops operating, on the Champagne front with the French again advanced their lines. They captured St. Etienne and further acted as a leverage at the right of the Champagne offensive, which resulted in the withdrawal of the German lines on a 28-mile stretch. The Germans everywhere are being forced to give ground to Allied troops. In Belgium the enemy is gradually being pushed eastward, And in anticipation of a forced final withdrawal is* continuing to make ready for that eventuality by removing bis guns and otherwise lessening the value of his defensive work in the territory upon and adjacent to the North sea coast To the south from Arras to the Ver^ dun sector the Germans are being hard pressed by the British, American, Italian and French forces, and, although on numerous sectors they still are offering desperate resistance, they seemingly are unable to do more than retard the advance of their foes. Doual, south of Lens, is almost enveloped, and Cambral has been further endangered through the capture of the village of Auben-cheul-aux- Bolls, five miles to the southeast, where more than 1,000 Germans wers made prisoner. Hard fighting has taken place around Montbrehain and Beaurevoir in this immediate vicinity, where the Germans have brought up fresh reserves In an endeavor to keep Field Marchal Haig's men from cutting through to the Important St. Quentin. Le Catelet road from which they now are but a step. Both Beaurevoir and Mont Brehain are now la British hands, and Field Marshal Haig announces the capture of Fresnoy, south of Douai. With the Germans being defeated over wide areas by the French and Americans from Rheims to the Ar. gonne forest, the Italians south of Laon have begun an offensive which seemingly has as its objective the finishing of the work previously begun by the French for the obliteration of La Fere and Laon. Here they have captured in storming operations important and strongly held German positions. BLAST TOLL INCREASED TO 94 Believe the Number of injured Will Not Be Less Than 150. Perth Amhoy, N.

In a report sent to Washington military authorities increased their estimate of the killed from 50 to 94. The number of injured, It was said, would not be less than 150.

FOREWORD Intrigue, mystery, chivalry, love, feats of bravery on the field of honor—all these elements are interwoven in this story, which has been well described as the first up-to-the-minute novel of America in the great war for humanity and world freedom. It is a gripping story of a man who "came back" and fought on the battlefields of France for the honor of the army that had disoarded him. Victor Rousseau has written many excellent stories but none that excels "Bride of Battle." CHAPTER I. Lieutenant Mark Wallace of the Seventieth New York regiment caine to an abrupt standstill. He was alone in the Jungle, upon the blazing hillside before Santiago, in the month of June, 1898. Through the branches of the trees the Mauser butlers still whipped and whistled, and the prolonged screech of shells and distant shouting indicated that the battle, which had raged all day, had not yet reached Its end. But within the short radius of Wallace's vision nothing stirred, not even the palmetto boughs that rustled with the least breeze like the sound of the sea. Wallace had only the most confused and incoherent knowledge of what was happening on that historic day. There had been an advance in the cool of the morning, if a brief respite from the oppressive heat could be called coolness in contrast. Then came the deployment along the base of the hills as the first shells began to fall, the advance in open order, in which the nicely inculcated teachings of the parade ground fell to pieces, the Jumble of men, of companies, and, later, of regiments, pressing forward past the dead and stricken, the shouts, the rattle of machine guns and rifles. Batteries came galloping where they had no theoretical business to be, upsetting the Junior officers' desperate attempts to preserve alignment; Red Cross men invaded the battle line to succor the wounded; commissariat mules, shaking off the lethargy which no amount of belaboring had ever overcome, ran away with supplies and strewed embalmed beef over-*.the hillside. In the midst of it all Wallace had rallied some men of his own troop and led them forward; he plunged into the patch of scrub-covered Jungle, and found that he was alone. In front of him was a small clearing, made by some Cuban squatter in the preceding year and abandoned after the reaping. It contained the ruin of a palm shack, and the furrows scraped by a primitive plow were only Just discernible amid the rank growth that had sprung up. The lieutenant stopped and shouted, expecting to see his men come running through the trees. But none appeared, and it was at this moment that the bullet that had been stamped with his name, according to the soldier's superstition, found him. He felt a smart blow on the shoulder, which knocked him backward. He stumbled, fell down, sat up again and discovered that his elbow was shattered. The arm hong helplessly at his side. He managed to bind up the wound with his hand and teeth. There was not much pain, but a sort of physical languor, which made him reel giddily when he arose. There was burning thirst, too. It was extraordinary that a UJtle thing like that jdiould take the grit out of a man. A Ht$le>.blood was running down his sleeve, but die wound seemed trivial. Wallace leaned against the wall of the snack and waited for his men. He snooted once or twice more, but nobody answered him, and the battle seemed to be drifting in another diree» iloa; Wallace Imagined that b i t troop had advanced aronnd the patch of scrub, In which case he was not likely to establish touch with them again till wall of the shack, missed it, and fell. Then he realised that he was out of the fight. Yet, in spite of his intense disappointment, he knew that worse might have befallen him. He had fought through hours of the day—that w*»s much; he was probably spared to lea.l his men again—and that was •raorv. He, hud found and proved himself; and at twenty-one a young man, for all his self-confldence, is composed ist fears and doubts as well. In spite of his soldier ancestors, Mark Wallace had not been sure that his capacity for leadership extended beyond the parade ground, and he had suffered from the young soldier's inevitable fear of fear. So he resigned himself to his situation. He emptied his water bottle and, gripping the end of his gauze roll with his teeth, managed to bandage his wound sufficiently to stop the bleeding. The languor, however, was increasing. Sometimes he would doze for a few moments, awaking with a start, to wonder where he was, and what had happened. The air was very still. The shouts had long since died away, the rifle firing was a distant crackling; the tremulous staccato tapping of the machine guns was like the roll of drums far away. Wallace must have slept for a prolonged period, for when next be became conscious he started up to see, to his intense astonishment, a pretty little girl of three or four yeurs, standing in front of him and looking at him. H e rubbed his eyes, expecting her to disappear. But she was still there, and just as he was beginning to piece together a Spanish phrase she spoke to him in English. "I want my daddy." Wallace reached out and drew the child toward him. "Where is your daddy?" he asked. "And who are you?" "I'm Eleanor," she answered, "and won't you please find my daddy for me?" She pointed with a grimy little hand toward the interior of the shack, and Wallace, struggling to his feet with a great effort, made his way Inside. It was almost dark in the hut, and Wallace could only make out with difficulty the form of a man who lay, face downward, upon the ground near the wall. Presently, however, as his eyes became more accustomed to the obscurity, he saw the bullet wound in the back of the head. He looked up at the child, who stood by, unconcerned. "Go away, Eleanor," he said gently. The child, too young to know anything of death, went out of the hut and began to play in the shaft of sunlight that filtered through the branches of the palms. Wallace searched the dead man's pockets. He found nothing, however, except a military pass, signed by General Linares of the Spanish forces, authorizing the bearer to pass through the lines; and, after a moment's reflection, he decided t o leave it on the body. So this man had been the child's father, and, apart from her speech, his coloring showed that he had been an American. Wallace concluded that he had been a planter, trapped in Santiago. He raised the body in his arms and tried to turn it over, but let it fall when he saw the work that the bullet had made of the face. He must not let the little girl carry away anything of such metnory as thatl He groped his way outside and beckoned to her. "What is your other name, Eleanor?" be asked. The little girl only looked at him; it was evident that she_did not understand the meaning of his question. "Did your da'ddy live in Santiago?" "My daddy has gone away. I want him," said the child, beginning to whimper. Wallace tried her once more. "Where is your mamma?" he asked. But she said nothing, and he sat down, propping himself against the shack. He drew, the little girl down beside him. "Now listen to me, Eleanor," he said. "Your daddy has gone away. He will be gone for a long time. Toil must be good and , patient, and soon somebody will come to take care of yon. Do you understand r The child's lip Quivered, but she did not cry. She fixed her large gray eyes upon him. "Who are your she asked, with the directness of childhood. "My name is Mark." "I like you, Mark. I win go with you tfU my daddy comes back.'* -All right Theft At down here benightfaU.

Wallace watched the child, wondering who she was, and how it had happened that the father had been forced to take her into the Jungle, into the midst of the contending armies. Her clothing was almost In rags, and she must have been drenched by the rains of the preceding night. It had certainly been a desperate and a difficult adventure for the dead man. The light began to fade. Wallace, half delirious now from pain and thirst, struggled to preserve his consciousness for the sake of the little girl. Sometimes he would emerge from a semi-stupor and look round for her anxiously; but he always found her, uo great distance away, building sand castles out of the soft soil and chattering to herself as happily as if she had already forgotten her sorrow. When he uroused himself finally, it was to see the flash of a torch in his eyes. Faces which he recognized were looking into his own. There was Crawford, the senior lieutenant, who had graduated from West Point the year before, and Captain Keilermnn; there was his own negro servant, Johnson, with n look of r.lann on his ebony face; and near by were two men from the ambulance, carrying an empty stretcher. vVallace moaned for water and the sense of the liquid in his throat, warm though It was, brought back consciousness with a rush. "Well, we've got you," said Crawford cheerfully. "How are you feeling, old man?" "Fine. Have we got Santiago?" "Well, not exactly, but nearly. We've carried all the trenches, and we're wuiting to get our big guns up. Arm hurting you?" "No," said Wallace, stifling a groan. "Say, Crawford, 1 suppose I was delirious, but I thought there was a kid j here." As he spoke he caught sight of Major Howard emerging from the shack, with j the little girl in his arms, fast asleep, j The major came up to him. "How are you feeling, Wallace?" he asked. "Good! T didn't know you were a family man, though, till I saw this kid sleeping In your arms." "You've been Inside?" Inquired the lieutenant, looking toward the shack. The major's face grew very serious. He nodded. "Her father," said Wallace. "Come, get in with you!" answered Major Howard, curtly, Indicating the ambulance. Mark, supported hy the orderlies, who had placed the stretcher upon the ground, crawled in and lay down. He stretched out his arm to- j ward the child. It was an unconscious j action, but Major Howard noted It i and, detaching the small arms from i about his neck, he placed the little girl in the stretcher. Tho llnle head drooped upon the lieutenant's arm. As j the ambulance men picked up their j burden two soldiers came out of the i hut, carrying something in n blanket, j They carried It to the center of the clearing and set it down beside a hole ! which had already been dug. _ i "He carried a pass signed by 1,1- j nares," said Wallace to the major. i Major Howard's eyes contracted into narrow silts. He nodded. "I have it," he answered. "I wonder who he was?" said Wallace. "We'll decide what to do with the j kid after we get her buck to camp," said the major curtly. It seemed to ! Wallace that he wag unwilling to ; speculate upon the identity of the dead , mum "Lie still, and don't muddle j your brains with thinking, n y boy," he • added. "We'll have you at the base i hospital in next to no time." — "How many men have we lost?** "Can't tell you. Quite a few, I'm afraid. Soames is gone. Crawford and Murray and I found ourselves bunched together at the top of the hill, leading a mixed company of Texan Rangers and Pennsylvania Dutch. We'll get them sorted out and sent home with labels as soon as we can. Move on, boysT The Jolting stretcher preceded out of the scrub and down the hill. Here, in the open, everything was almost as silent as in the bush, after the day's battle. Under the light of the rising moon could be seen parties of men moving over the hillside, stragglers seeking their regiments, or fatigue par* ties detailed upon the neceasary night work that follows a day of death. The moon shone down on huddled forms scattered for the moat part in Uttie dusters* where shells or machine gunfire had rsegke tiasj It aeeaaed an^mWtely long Journey, and every invent—l-ef the stretcher was almost unbearable. Wallace shut his lips tight. He looked at the child beside him. She moved in her sleep, feeling for his neck with the little grimy hands. Her cheek snuggled into the hollow of his arm. The lieutenant was curiously touched by this unconscious confidence. He issued from his ordeal of pain at last, when the bearers halted in rront of the line of tents that served for a field hospital. Stretchers by the dozen were piled about the ground, and more were arriving constantly. Wounded men, guided by the sound, came limping in on the last lap of their painful Journeys. Others, who had arrived but hud not yet been attended to, sat or lay in front of the tents. Orderlies were scurrying to and fro. Major Howard caught one of the regimental surgeons, who looked Mark over quickly and then picked the child out of the stretcher. "Hello! Who's this?" he asked. "Friend of his," said the major. Indicating Mark. "She doesn't look like a Cuban young lady," said the doctor, as he cut away the sleeve of the tunic. "Her father's dead. Hit by a shell on his way from Santiago. I think he was an American," said Mark. "Give her to me. I never had one," said the doctor, suddenly injecting a hypodermic into Mark's arm. "Not after that," said Mark, wincing. "Besides, I'm thinking of adopting her myself." And he wondered what had made him say that when the thought had hardly reached his own consciousness. "See here, young man ! Let me look at that arm of yours before you talk that way. Hum! You'll be running round in a couple of weeks, as well as ever." "Thank heaven for that!" ejaculated Mark fervently. "Then I'll be In at the death." "I doubt It. T won't pass you for duty for six months to come," said the doctor, grinning. Then, seeing Mark's dejected look, he added, more seriously : "You may thank the modern highpower bullet that you tire going to keep your arm, my boy. It's drilled H nice little pencil-hole clean through the joint, Instead of shattering It, and that's got to be filled In with new growth. Even I can't grow bones in a week. I wish I could. Ten years ngo your arm would have had to come off. There's nothing more I can do for you, my son," he added, as he smeared some sticky stuff over the wound and began adjusting a bandage, "except tie you up and put you In the hospital tonight, and send you down to the base In the morning," "Tho devil you will ! I guess I'm well enough to stay on the job as I am." "Here, I hnvon't any more time to waste on you !" said the doctor. "Pounce will make you a sling and you'll go into that tent and stay there, or I'll cashier you. You won't he feeling so spry tomorrow morning. Get nut!" He strode away, leaving Mark looking into the grinning black face of .lohnson. After the sling had been adjusted he discovered that the sense of welli being, due to the hypodermic, was al- I ready beginning to leave him. His servant helped him into the tent and \ Major Howard brought In the little [ girl, who at once coiled herself up to sleep at Wallace's side. Lieutenant Wallace makes some plana for the future of the child that had come into hie possession ao unexpectedly, but he la stunned by revelations that are made to him by hie com. mandlng officer, Major Howard.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL, FOR TEACHKRS-Oeneala 12:10-14; 84; 18:16-»; 1*:2». I. Abram and Lot Return From Egypt (vv. 1-4). Abram went Into Egypt because of a famine. No doubt the famine was sent In judgment for the sins of the people, but also for Abram's sake. He needed the graces of his heart developed. He needed to be taught the weakness of his own heart, and the faithfulness of God. The child of God is not promised exemption from trials, but grace sufficient to endure them. Abram failed, in the midst of his trials he went oft to Egypt without God s direction, where he got into trouble. To take one's own way always brings him into trouble. His expedient to save his life was unworthy ot Abram. H e lied, and a lie is never justifiable. It is much better to die than to lie. Ainu in by pn.\ arication deceived the kink', but as soon us the truth was known he was thrust out. Though Abram bad strayed from the pathway of faith. Ix* had the good sense 'o go "unto the place where his tent and been in the beginning, where the altar was." This showed that he was willing to confess his mistake, and begin life over again. This Egypt erperience was a loss spiritually to Abram, though he became rich there. Increase of riches is no sign that a man is in fellowship with God. M. Abram and Lot Separate (vv. 5- 11). The goods of both Abram and Lot greatly increased. When they attempted to settle down, trouble arose between their herdsmen. This Is the first record of trouble between relatives over financial matters. Riches often interfere with friendship. They kindle Jealousy and strife between men. They engender greed and selfishness in men. Many times members of the same family are estranged from each other through strife for "wealth. For the chosen of God thus to quarrel Is utter folly and criminal, especially when the enemy of the Lord's people looks on. "The Canaanlte and the Perlzzite dwelt then in the land" (v. 7). It is bad enough for God's children to quarrel, but to do so in the presence of the world which delights therein is greatly to Sin. Abrnm's behavior is a fine example of the art of living together peaceably. The disgraceful situation was relieved hy a generous proposition from Abram. Lot was allowed his choice. Separation Is sometimes necessary. Though he owed all to Abram, his selfish heart caused him to grasp for the best. Lot's action shows that his stay in Egypt was ruinous to him. Perhaps he chose the plains of the Jordan because of their resemblance to Egypt. One cannot gn Into Egypt without being affected by it. Tills was a fatal choice for Lot. The motive actuating him was worldly advantage. Though he for awhile prospered. It was an expensive undertaking for him. Lot with ali his goods was taken away when the confederate kings came against Sodom. He Is an example of one saved so as by fire (I Cor. 3:11-15). He set his affections upon earthly things, and the time came when he had to separate from them. The world and its lusts pass away, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever (I John 2:15-17). Lot was not wholly corrupt: he was a man who allowed the world to get the better of him. Once his money and his family were In Sodom he simply endured the wickedness, longing to escape from it (II Peter 2:6-8). 111. Abram Dell vera Lot (Genesis 14:14-16). Though Lot's trouble was the result of his selfish choice, Abram'smagnanlmlty ot soul expressed Itself, taking up arms to deliver hlra from the oppressor. This was because Abram was a man of faith. Faith trusts God and fight* for the right While Lot suffered from his evil choice, Abram was greatly prospered. He grew rich in temporal things, while at the same-time he waa rich toward God. It wen much better to hare God and a poor piece of land, than a rich piece of land without God. When Lot waa involved in the ruin of hit aad cbotet Abeam had the power 4» deitver him.

He is now preparing to crystallize the public sentiment of the world to form a League of Nations to enforce j peace. Each nation has a Federal j ( organization, a state organization, a j j county organization and a township, I organization so that the rights and ciis- I putea of neighbors may be tried out in ! court. The statesmen of the world ' had negltcted to form an international ! j court to try out disputes * between the i i nations and as a result about thirty j million men are under arm? and t h e ; I whole world is made to suffer. j Therefore, the leading thinkers of tiie ' world are backing President Wilson] j who will make a great effort at the ! close ot the war to obtain a League of ' I Nations to enforce peace and to create ! ! a just and lasling peace with an inter- I national court to settle disputes. The ! war will be shortened and humanity { benefited by giving support to President' Wilson. Germany will watch closely the fall ; election and they will not draw any very , fine distinction as to tUe cause of the | t 1 result. A sweeping victory by the ; Republican party will be construed in ' 'Germany as a "divided United States". I In 189S Ex-President Benjamin Har- , rison and Ex-President Roosevelt j argued that the people should vote for j McKinley regardless of party, to impress upon the nations of Europe that] America was standing as one man behind ] the President. In this great European 1 war it is mnch more essential that the \ people should stand unitedly behind President Wilson. In the Congressional districts in Michigan the Democrats have put up no candidate for Congress. This is upon, the advice of President Wils )n who wishes that politics be dropped. However, in order to carry out hia important measures he has advised that the two Democratic Senators Hardwich of Georgia and Senator Var/eman of Mississippi be replaced with men more favorable to t<.e interests of the people. He has also indorsed the Republican Senator Nelson. He gives his indorsement to Henry Ford of Michigan because he represents tho Progressive thought of the world and the fact that he "played the g a m e " square and spent no money in the primaries shows that he made no mistake. Voters thi* Fall will best help the world by voting the Democratic ticket which will be construed by the Kaiser as a "United Country".—Adv. j g P n n I ATTENTION : : » * ' <* > Si Anniversary Surprise FARMERS Wo an; fortunate by having some Genuine Miller Bean Harvesters that will go in the next fifteen days, Get in while the getting is good, NOTICE AGAIN If you are O N E who has failed to sell!*- notes or book accounts long past due—remember we are after the Kaiser and w ill get you, we fear before lie is captured, and remember that Oct. 1st 191s every debt outlaws and we shall collect their.

CAPE OF HAND-WOVEN WOOL Bodice Cut on Surplice Lines; Trimming Gs>nsists of Narrow Facings; Embroidery in Platinum Gray. A navy sergu dress Is necessary for tvery woniuu with u well-balanced wardrobe. There Is no war shortage in serge, 3Ut the best grades are expensive. The serge frocks now, being designed are distinctive by their simplicity. There is no such thing as ready-made rheap trimmings, so that none of the ill esses seen are overdecorated. Plain tines and handsome embroideries in moderation are used. The sketch illustrates a smart little serge frock that would be charming for a woman of any age. The bodice is cut on surplice lines, and the trimming consists of narrow facings and embroidery in platinum gray. The straight side panels may be cut In one with the frock, or they may be of the loose or flying variety lined throughout with platinum gray silk. Many dresses for fall have no contrasting touch of color at the neck, while others will show the neck outlined by a tiny frill of some contrasting color, such us blue, platinum gray being an especially effective combination for navy. Bands of silk braid, large and small tucks and touches of embroidery done Navy Serge Frock Trimmed in Platinum Gray. Sir woo? or heavy silk are the popular decorative touches for early fall wool fabric frocks. In considering wool embroidery, angora must not be overlooked, as it is easily applied and tremendously effective. Well-Dreaaed Woman.

NO LIMITATIONS TO JERSEY Popular Material and All of Its Allies Are Shown in the Latest and Stylish Fabrics. Among the new fabrics there is no tendency to diminish the popularity of jersey, says a fashion authority. It, and all its sisters and cousins and aunts, are shown in the new materials. It is rough and silken, it Is embroidered and plain, it glitters with metal, and it is plain and sufficiently rough for a rainy day. It is trimmed with angora to Inake a .woman look like a wooly lamb; it is heaped with fur to make her look warmly and richly clad. This is a good piece of news for the economical woman, for woolen jersey (loth has been selling at moderate prices for two years in this country, and most of us have accumulated suits, frccks or separate skirts of it. We fan use these by renovating the line, If necessary, and leave them unadorned ; or we can touch them up In a stingy or a generous manner with squirrel or Hudson seal. And here's a secret to put into your notebook on conservation! You can trim it with bands from sweaters that have done their service and have been discarded! Startlingiy new gowns, showing the final touch of French artistry, are trimmed with material that might once have been turned into sport sweaters. And if you do not like any of these trimmings, you can use wide bands of silk plush. Entire gowns are made of this material, clumsy as this may seem. The truth is that the weave is so supple and the surface so silken that the lines fall closely to the figure and have that desirable trick of moving with the muscles of the body. This plush, especially the tobaccobrown shades, will be reinstated, undoubtedly, for short separate coats as substitutes for the more expensive ones of sealskin. This was done over twenty-five years ago, with good results, at a time when sealskin was the high desire of every woman who hoped to dress well. effect. This method eliminates the need of having the velvet fitted, saves time and at the present time Is the newest way of using the various materials of which hats are made. "Of course the material must be soft, so that the effect is not too bulky. One very attractive model shown Is of white velvet with the entire crown and the brim shirred.

S. Show Treachery of Bolshevik Chiefs. BETRAYED RUSSIA FOR GOLD Document* Given Member of Commit. tee on Public Information Also Reveal How Germany Plotted Against U. S. in 1914. Washington— Proofs removing anj doubts that Nicolul Lenine and Leon Trotzky, the bolshevik leaders, are paid German agents—If indeed any doubts have remained—are laid before the world by the United States government in an aiaaziag series of official documents disclosed through .the committee on public information. 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 bare new strata of Prussian Intrigue, a new view of the workings of kultur to disrupt the allies standing between the world and kalserism. They disclosed also a now 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. Knt on*r do tH* dfetttosures prove that Lenine, Trotzky, ami their btond are paid German agents. They show that the bolshevik revolution, which threw Russia into such orgy of murder und excesses as the world seldom has seen, actually was arranged by the German general staff. They show how the paid agents of Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest- Lltovsk "peace" conference; how German staff officers liave been secretly received by the bolshevik! as military advisers; how they have acted as sp^es 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 leaders themselves; some of them containing references to "Comrade Trotzky" or "Comrade Lenine" comprise the record. Some of the originals, it is shown, although deposited In the archives of the bolshevlki, were required to be returned later to representatives of the German general staff in Petrograd that they might be destroyed. JUST THE OLD HUN TRICK London Press Asserts Austria's Peace Conference Is Cynical and Insincere. London.—The Daily Mall, under the heading "The Word of Austria, but the Kaiser's Voice," says the Austrian Invitation to the allies to open **a confidential, nonbinding discussion" of peace termB is another form of the old German trick. The Dally Telegraph says: "Negotiations at the present moment even though they brought temporary peace would only postpone the final struggle between might and right. So long as the kaiser and his pan^Germans direct with irresistible authority the destinies of Germany so long can there he no question of an armistice or purely academic negotiations. The note is disingenuous, cynical, and Insincere—an attempt to divert the entente power* from a resolute prosecution of the war." The Austrian note is regarded in this country as a maneuver to ohtnln needed breathing space for the sorely tried central empires and to impreas their own people with the desires of their rulers for a cessation of the struggle which is wearing them to a shadow. Undoubtedly it !s a part of a comtrtned peace offensive which has been expected for some time, and which has taken definite form within the Inst few days. It la one of three move? which have been made almost simultaneously by enemy states. "COME ONI YOU CANT SWAMP ME!" WHAT UNCLE SAM DOESWITH MONEY How Funds Raised by Sale of Liberty Loan Bonds Is Expended by Government. FIGURES ARE STAGGERING Estimated Total of $24,000,000,000 Will Be Spent This Year for Preparation and Maintenance of Our Fighting Forces. Now that the people of the United States are to be asked In the Fourth Liberty Loan drive, which opens September 28 and continues three weeks, to lend the government at least twice as much money as has been asked before, the treasury department realizes that there is a natural curiosity on the part of the public to know for what all this money Is being expended. The amount already spent on preparation and the maintenance of the righting forces staggers the imagination, and the prospect is for an even larger expenditure In the present risen 1 year, the total being estimated at $24,000,- 000,000. Figures received at Liberty Loan headquarters for the Seventh Reserve district from the war department give an.idea of the vast sum* which have ^feeett expended and which -writ hare to be spent to win the wur, and this information brings home to all Americans a concrete Idea of how much money it takes to wage a modern war and how our money is being used to win victory. The following figures are an answer to the query of the average Liberty Bond buyer: "Just what will Uncle Sam do with the money from my $500 bond? A single bond does not go fur toward meeting the expeu.se of war, it is pointed out, but when the bonds of millions of Americans are brought together, the total of cash provided reaches stupendous totals. Since the United States entered the war in April, 1917, the war department has raised, equipped, trained and, with naval help, sent across the sea upward of a million and half of soldiers, and has practically as many more under training at home, Of all this vast number of men sent abroad, the number lost In transit as a result of U-boat attacks up to September 1, 1918, was less than 500. During this same time 2,000,000 rifles have been made, Inspected, assembled and Issued, and the weekly production is growing. The total amount of money directly appropriated by congress for the ordnance program, for which authorization has been given to incur obligations, amounts to approximately $12,- 000,000,000. From the beginning of the war to June 30, 1918, the last day of the past fiscal year, contracts were placed by the ordnance department from appropriations and authorizations existing at thfrt time amounting to $4,300,000,- 000. It is now estimated that during the present fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, the actual cash expenditures for ordnance will reach a total of $7,000,- 000,000. The major items for which cash expenditures were made or for which contracts were placed up to June 30, 1918. were as follows: ArtiUtry $1,060,000,000 Automatic rifles 300,000,000 Small arms-.

The American army is the best clothed and best fed army in the world, and the following illustrative figures of quartermaster purchases are interesting. For example, take six standard articles of food. Since the beginning of the war there have been bought for army use 625,461,392 pounds of flour at a cost of $43,375,445; 180.5X2,310 pounds of sugar at a cost of $14,452,- 512; 110,451,670 pounds of bacon at a cost of $43,000,000 ; 102,894,742 pounds of dry beans, costing $12,613,469; 72, 274,529 cans of tomatoes costing $9,- 278,121, and 38,421,256 pounds of rice at a cost of $2,775,000. These figures give one an idea of the size of Uncle Sam's market basket and the huge cost of army maintenance. The clothing bill for the army from April 1, 1917, to August 1, 1918, follows and shows how great sums have been essential to keep our men comfortably clothed : A r t i c l e . Quarvtlty. V'alu«.

Washington.—Perhaps, after HII. when I'rtwidem Wilson remarked tba* ^politics ia adjourned," he wa« stating " fact ltint existed throughout rhe country In spite of everything that the Politicians, nre trying to do. A Hepublicnn of prominence who has b«eo a member of the national committee recently returned from a trip throughout the country extending from Washington to California. "The ^strangest thing that I observed," he remarked upon his arrival In Washington, "is the tact that I found no oue who would talk politic*. On the other hand, everybody was for tlie war and earnestly determined to support the administration in the prosecution of the war. As nearly as I could see. the country is behind President Wilson, and although 1 am a stanch Republican, 1 firmly believe that if an election for president were to take place tomorrow, President Wilson would be elected regardless of Its being a third term. So far as 1 observed, the people Are in deadly earnest for this war and in support of the administration which Is prosecuting It." any Important vote «s taken, wnn* complaint is not made very frequently about the pairs, it often happens thai an Injury or in Justice is done to aorn* member by belug paired wrong, Results nave not been affected very much In the house by pairs, although it was said that the woman suffrage amendment was aided to a considerable excent by the manipulation of pairs when that close vote was caken. The Juggling of pairs in the senate hais on several occasions affected the vote on very Important measures. Tills has occurred also on occasions when twothirds votes are taken. The question of pairs prevented a vote on the woman suffrage amendment two months ago, and as Jong as there are vacancies or very «lck senators It may cause a delay when the suffrage amendment is again brought forward. But as i*ie matter of pairs is one of personal arrangement between senators ami representatives,, there does not seem to be any way of remedying it. That the German people as a whole are lo hluuie tor the war, and uot merely the kaiser and his military associates, is tiie view expressed by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts' in his able speerh outlining the aims of the United Slates. "We are not engaged In this watr to try to arrange a government for Germany." said Lodge. "The German people must do that themselves, and 'hey will get precisely the government thai they desire and deserve—- just as they now have the government they prefer, uliose purposes and ambitions and barbarism they share and sustuiu. Our pari and our business is 1O put Germany in a posltjon where she can do no more harm In the future to the rest of the world." >»»»%»»»»»»%»»»%%»»»»»»»»»»%»»< HIS FARMERETTE By N E L L I E A. O E L A N E Y . The debates in congress on the draft extension bill showed conclusively that a' great many senators and representatives did not believe that a sufficient number of men for army service had been procured between the ages of 21 and 31. Senator Pomerene of Ohio made a very strong speech in which he criticized the failure of the "oomblng process" and he remarked that there were too many men placed in deferred classification. "Too many young married men have been allowed to escape military service." said the Ohio senator. "It Is ridiculous to say that only such a small proportion of men between the age£ of 21 and 31 were found available for military duty," Senator Pomorene was firmly of the opinion thut it was unnecessary to take boys of 18 and 19 when so many well-to-do men had been placed In deferred classes under the previous draft. A comparison of the totals mentioned In casualty lists and those listed as prisoners of war in Germany shows that it is easier for the Huns to kill or wound American soldiers than it is to capture them. No doubt the majority of the few Americans now in German prison camps were temporarily disabled in some way before they could be captured. It is not an American trait to cry "karaerad," but rather to keep on fighting until deatli or unconsciousness steps until death or unconsciousness steps in. Considerable comment was aroused In the house when Congressman John-;, son of Washington exhibited a 108- pdund page In a soldier's outfit as an argument that boys of 18 are too young to be drafted. One amusing reference to Johnson's action was made by Congressman Langley of Kentucky. "I do not believe." said I«angley. "that there is a single member of this body, with the possible exception of Uncle Joe Cannon, who could not outpoint that boy in any physical contest, and I am not so sure but that even Oucle Joe might come out cf it the master." But on the other hand, as one mem* ber put i t there are other eighteenyear- old boys that could outrun and outjump any man in the house and outfight any two of them. One of the strongest of the many speeches in favor of extending the age limits for the draft was made by Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota. He called attention to the fact that soldiers of the Union a r m y and rhe soldiers of the Confederacy returned to various walks of life and became the very best citizens. "So will it be with the hoys of elghteen-and nineteen years who go to Europe." he said "They will come' back better citizens. more loyal rind with a higher spirit of patriotism tliiin they ever had before. They will never he a menace or a clanger to the community, and they «-111 not come back as ruined men." At thnt>pnlnt Senator Nelson was interrupted hy Senator Tall of New Mexico, who asked: "Who ran this CQiintry In every state and (he national government for thirty-fwur years after the Civil war? Who filled the halls of this and the other house?" "In the Nnrth that service was performed In large runt by Hie old soldiers, and in the South the same rights were accorded their veterans." was the Minnesota senator's reply. "And what was true of rhe soldiers both North and South of the Civil war will undoubtedly be true nf the men who re> turn from th^ present war. They will be the successful politicians of the future." Senator Nelson went on and showed how it was the young men. the hoys, so to speak, who turned the tide of battle when the Germans made their farthest advance. Senator Smith of Michigan asked him how old he was when he entered rhe Union army, and Nelson replied that he was a little over eighteen years, entered as a private, "and attained the high rank of corporal." He went on to say that most of the men In the compnny In which he served were under twenty years of age. There was one man thirty-five yenrs old. and they called him "Old Dnd." This man was not an effective soldier, as he was on the (Copyright, m 8 . Wwtern Newspaper Union.> Martha Colby added a few finishing touches to the already spotless kitchen. Tonight four girls were coming from t i e city to work on the farm. Mr. Colby found male help impossible to secure, so at last he gave up and advertised for farmerettes. Martha brushed back the jet black hair from her forehead, put oa a lresh blue gingham dress, a white, stiuly starched apron, and before she could get to the kitchen a loud pealing; of the door bell announced the arrival of the new farm hands. She opened the door nervously, and there stood four fashionably dressed girls. Laughing and chatting merrily, they followed the now more than ever nervous Martha. In the dining room Tom Colby, horn farmer, showed plainly that fife on a farm had not made him any different from the rest of the sterner sex. lie gazed admiringly at each pretty girl, and Martha could not remember when he had talked so much, but instead of the uneasy feeling leaving her it grew more appurent, and she tried in vain to hide the red hands, rough from heavy work. Married at sixteen, tlnn ten years of hard work to help pay off the mortgage on the little farm, made Martha feel more like forty than twenty-sis. Before the first meal was over Martha was experiencing a feeling absolutely new to her. She was thinking' of the long evenings when Tom, after a hard day's work, would go to sleep In his easy chair, then the long, lonesome evening must be passed in silence. Tonight he was wide awake, and after supper, through the open window Martha watched hirn eagerly show the four girls the different places on the farm. She turned from the window, and the ugly pain that had started at supper, Increased with great rapidity, nor could she explain its meaning, for Martha was experiencing jealousy for the first time in her life. Sjie hated the four rosy-cheeked girls with their city ways; she hated the way they plastered their hair around their ears, entirely covering tnem, and she felt that she almost hated her beloved Tom. As the days wore on Martha became more silent and miserable. One day she got up courage to nsk Tom what he thought of the farmerettes, and he expressed himself in one word, "peaches." Then It was true, she told herself, Tom was slowly slipping awny from her, and walking into the next room the big brown eyes filled with tears. "Why the tears, girlie?" a musical rolce sounded behind her. The blood rushed to Martha's cheeks as the prettiest of the four farmerettes npproached her. "I forgot my powder puff," she added by way of explanation for coming back from the field. Martha's first impulse was to run away; instead, womanlike, she burst into tears, and let the girl she hated lead her to the chair and coax from her the reason why she wept. Putting her arm around Martha, she whispered : "Little country girl, you are Jealous without cause; why, you are five times as pretty as any city girl. But as we are going back to the city tonight, let's prove that fact to your husband. Fie is going to drive us to the station, but before we go we will When the report of the senate subcommittee to Investigate aircraft production was ready for presentation it was brought up by Senator Thomas of Colorado, chairman of the subcommittee. In presenting the report be said that the committee on military affair* had instructed him to have it read, so the secretary of the senate began reading. Before very long, however, the Colorado senator Interrupted: **ln view of the fact that the reading of this report does not neem to command the pretence of the senate, I ask that its farther reading be dispensed with." That report was too Important for senators to listen to it. They wanted to get a copy and read it. Never a congressman or congressional party finishes a trip through the war area without at least one narrow escape from dea.h. Stories that come hack from time to time assert that Senator Blank or Congressman Dash has barely missed being exterminated In in air raid or by an enemy shell.

Senator ^ s y o u ",J a " « l e - n n l y , " she a'Uled. Nelson said that perhaps his years w e C f m t *ut ftn-v m n r e r o s e s l n of experience both in the army and outside hod made him rather callous, and he could not "indulge in this maudlin sentiment and go into hysterics in behalf of the l>oys of eighteen, nineteen and twenty. "Furthermore." he added. "T believe the best education these boys can get is that which will he derived from life and training in the army." While pointing out the benefits which men who served in the Civil war received. Senator Nelson made s comparison of the manner In which men In the army are treated now and M years ago. They have benefits and comforts which were not accorded soldiers on either side in the Civil war, such ns the Y. M. C. A. and otlier organizations, and the Red Cross. "The soldiers of the Union army never had ham and bacon," said Nelson; "we received nothing but salt pork and salt beef in the brine, and hardtack. In thosr days we were not even able to get 'Hoover bread.' * In the debate on the extension of the ages for' the draft the following Interesting figure* were brought ont In regard to soldiers who served In the Union army during the Civil war: Under twenty-one years of age, 2,:r®.7«8; of these 1.551.438 were under eighteen years of a g e: 804.901 were under seventeen years, while 231.0M were under sixteen. And what is still more mirprlslng, there were 104.987 under fifteen years.

"That la the best argument against woman suffrage that has been made." remarked a maa la the gallery. "It goes to show that If women had control they never wooid allow a war because It would mesa the sacrifice of their SOBS and rela Uvea." those cheeks." After much whispered planning, they separated. That night, as Tom Colby sat in the wagon waiting for the four girls to appear, it seemed to him it took them a long time to bid Martha good-by. They finally appeared, and Tom drove them to the station. He did not wait for the train ; somehow, tonight he longed to pass a pleasant evening alone with his wife; he had made up his mind there was just one little farmerettein the world for him, and that was- Martha. As he drove into the yard, he was a little surprised that Martha did not come to meet him, as was her custom. Throwing the reins to the hired man, he hurried into the kitchen. The supper dishes were still ln the pan, and the table had not been cleared. A feeling of fear came over Tom, and he hurried Into the bedroom. There on the floor ln a crumpled heap was t h e familiar blue gingham dress. A slight noise in the parlor turned his attention there, and pushing open the door he beheld Martha In a blue silk dress, white shoes and stockings, and, worst of all, the beautlfnl black hair was pulled tightly over two pink ears. Tom stared for some minutes In silence, then Martha asked sweetly: **Do I look so strange In pretty clothes, Tom? Don't I took as good as the fonr farmerettes?*' "Why, Martha, girt." Tom replied slowly, "there's Just one farmerette in this world for me, and that's my Mar* tha, but it took four city girls to wake ' me up to that fact, b u t " he added, wistfully, "I like yon best in the bine gingham, with your hair done the other way." The following week a little stenographer la a stuffy office stopped pomading the keys of her typewriter ton* enough to read a postcard from her country friend, sod she smiled happily at its contents: "It worked fine,-dear, hot I am still wearing my gingham dreaa, and he went let me wear my hair over my ears.** Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They were sure glad to see us. We exch inged money, watches and any little thing so I'll have all kinds of money with me when I get back. The more I Bee the worse it looks. Ten pennies make a handful. I haven't received any mail from the states since we left New Yqrk. But I think we will get some in a few weeka, We may have a little trouble in getting mail the this winter. You know it freezes up quite a bit in the northern part of Russia. Bat we will get it some time. I have been traveling some since I left home. I will have something to tell when I »t back.

JAMES EMIWETT CULEY S(*FVC Y O U f Country j James Emmett Culy was born in i i Hamburg Township, Livingston Co , i Michigan, July 18, 1888 and departed j i this life at Pinckney, Mich., October 11, , ; 1918, aged 30 years, 2 months and 2:'> j days. During his heroic fight for life he was always cheerful and never seemed despondent. The Becret of this lies in the fact that he was a practical Christian. During the pastorate of Rev. Millen he united with the Congregational Church of Pinckney and has bean a faithful and honored member, respected and honored by the whole church, also by the whole commmunity wh£re he lived. He was also an honored member of Livingston Lodge No. 76 F. & A. M. which gave expression of their sorrow at his departure, and of their unbounded confidence in his integrity. Brother Culey is survived by his father and mother and one si9ter, MJS. Maude Spaulding of Battle Creek. NEW M. E. PASTOR Rev. E. L. Sutherland, who has been occupying the pulpit for his new pastorate at the M. E. Church was formerly at Port Sanilac, a large summer resort on the shore of Lake Huron. Mr. Sutherland and his family have already created a good impression with the people of Pinckney and we predict a successful career for the new pastor wbile in Pinckney. Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland and Miss Bernice, age 13, compose the new family in the parsonage. Thoy have been very busy arranging the home for their comfort but are now ready to begin the work in Pinckney.

Detroit.—First of America's great cities to oversubscribe Its quota of] the Fourth Liberty Loan, Detroit has responded with 173.800,980, which is $418,120 more than its goal. With moneys still to be reported, the city is expected to over-subscribe by $6,- 000,000 when the final meeting of the loan workers is held in the Board of Commerce auditorium. An additional subscription of the Ford interests for $6,000,000, and $8.- 200,000 from Dodge Brothers and their employes were the principal items ln the report of $15,812,600, but the remainder of $7,000,000 was made up In large measure from uniformly hifh subscriptions from factory workers and second purchases by the corporate interests to place them ln the "double" lists. The additional $6,000,000 subscription of Henry Ford and interests was announced personally by Edsel Ford, $4,000,00£ of U added to the previous subscription of the Ford Motor company and $1,000,000 to the purchase of Henry Ford ft Son, of Dearborn. This divides the $15,000,000 subscription of the Ford interests as follows: The Ford subscription to the fourth loan is 150 per cent greater than to the third loan. Dodge Brothers as a corporation subscribed to $1,000,000 worth of bonds. The company's employes have taken an equal amount. John F. Dodge and Horace E. Dodge each San Juan, P. R.—One hundred and fifty lives were lost in an earthquake in Porto Rico, it was estimated by Governor Yager. Almost every town in the island reports damaged prop erty and scattering fatalities. There are unconfirmed reports here of great damage in Santo Domingo from the earthquake. Reports from the Interior are coming in slowly because of broken communications. The greatest loss of life from the shock was at Mayageuz and Agudilla, west coast cities, and in the intervening territory. The known dead at Mayaguez are given as 40, and at Aguadilla, 30, with the numbers rapidly increasing. At Mayaguez 70 per cent of the house sof bsrick and cement construction are reported either destroyed or damaged beyond repair. The greater loss of life there was in the cigar factory of Infanson and Rodriguez, a three-story, concrete building, where several hundred persons were at work at the time .of the disaster. The front of virtually every building on the Mayaguez plaza crumbled into the street killing and injuring people who had rushed out of the buildings into the plaza for safety.

Washington—Progress in establishing the new maximum and minimum price schedule for shoes from $12 to $3, was announced by Chairman Baruch of the war industries board. By November 1, it was stated, many stores will have on their shelves the new classified shoes ln addition to present stocks at present prices.

Slightly Detroit—Detroit's 90,000 school children were one of the most potent factors in the city's Fourth Liberty loan campaign, subscriptions taken by them totaling $7,995,200, which is double their record in the Third Liberty loan. The average subscription was slightly more than $100. The highest record was made by the Detroit University school with an average tale of $1,000 per pupil. The Doty school, grades 1 to 5, with a bond sale of $201 per pupil, was leader in that division. In the division from grades 5 to 8, the Fail banks Bchool led with an average subscription of $208. Northern high school was highest among the public high schools with $279 per student, while the Joyce led the junior high schools with $95. ONLY TWO LINES RETREAT OPEN Hlrson and Mesieres Are the Only Places Left For Huns. London—Laon, the anchor .of the whole German battle lino on the west front, has been cast off by LudendorfT onder Foch's terrific pressure from four sides and the whole German southern front is in precipitate retreat. The city is virtually in Allied hands. The French have entered its outskirts and the German are out of the town. Only two lines of retreat are open to the huge German force in the Laon pocket—estimated at a quarter of a million—to JUrson aad to Mesieres. The Germans cannot atop now until they have Bed to the approaches of these places, which meant their Sight must continue for betweea SO to 15 miles northeastward.

There is no restriction placed by the war Industries board on sale or purchase of the high priced shoes. On the contrary it was made plain that those who can afford to buy will be co-operating ln liquidating these stocks now on hand. If these stocks are not disposed of, the announcement said, it will work a great hardship to the trade. WHEAT.CROP 918,920,000 BUS. Corn improved Greatly By Westher, Now Exceeds Estimate. Washington—General increase crop prospects October 1 more than a month ago was shown by the department of agriculture's monthly report. Corn, which had such a big loss in prospective production as a result of July and August weather, Improved to the extent of 46,000,000 bushels and now gives prospect of a 2,717,775,000 bushel crop, which would be "441,000,- 000 bushels smaller than last year's. Spring wheat during the month improved to the extent of about 20,000,- 000 bushels, making a crop of 363,195,- 000 bushels, or 131,000,000 bushels more than produced last year. With this addition to spring wheat, the total wheat crop, including winter wheat, now in prospect is 918,920,000 bushels. That comes close to the 1,- 000,000,000 bushel mark set by- the government laat fall to meet war needs of America and the Allies. This year's tobacco crop will be the largest ever grown. Duluth—Indications are that the liBt at victims of the forest fires in this section may reach 800 or 900. Little official information can be obtained from the burned districts. 196 bodies had been brought here, and reports from Moose Lake indicated that the death list ln that locality alone might reach 300. With probably 12,000 homeless and without clothing, and with property damage mounting far into millions of dollars, whole sections of northern Wisconsin and Minnesota timber land are smouldering, fire-stricken areas, with only the charred ruins of abandoned, depopulated towns to accentuate the general desolation. Hundreds of dead along roads leading to Duluth and Superior lay where | they fell when overtaken by the Are. Twelve thousand homeless and penniless refugees, all in need of medical attention, are in hospitals, churches, schools, private homes and Ln the armory here, while doctors and nurses from surrounding communities attend them. Nearly every able-bodied man in the city has been conscripted to fight the flames now reported dying away. Reports that the holocaust was-' caused by enemy agents were circulated. Incendiaries were driven away from a local shipyard when fires in Duluth and Superior were at their height, according to city and state officials. Duluth and Superior are ln no further danger. Virginia is safe and Brainerd was untouched. However, peat bog fires now are said to menace ( the latter city. Bemidji reported only a small loss. A special train of 20 coaches brought 1,600 refugees from Cloquet and Carleton. They confirmed reports that many persons lost their lives in those I towns. Albert Michaud, a special policeman, told a tragic story of the burning of Cloquet and of the mad rush of Its residents to escape. A forest ranger gave warning that unless the wind died down the townspeople would have to flee," said Michaud. "A thick pall J>t smoke hung over the town and special trains were called. "The scene at the station.was indescribable. There came a rash of wind and the entire town was in flames. The trains pulled out with the fires biasing closely behind them. Women wept and clung to their children, while others cried frantically for their missing ones. The flames licked at the cars. Windows in the coaches were broken by the heat. The engineers and firemen alternately stoked, to give the boilers all the fuel they could ttand. "Other trains were hurriedly made of flat cars, box cars and anything that would roll. But even then all did not get away. There are many dead In Cloquet." Cloquet was a town with about T,600 population. More than 4,700 persons were brought to Duluth and Superior from there alone.

"What are you going to do about her?" inquired the major, standing beside the camp bed and looking down at Wallace uneasily.

CHAPTER II. He stopped, astonished at the way the Major took his suggestion. Howard began to stutter, paced the inside of the tent for some moments, muttering to himself, and then swung round upon his heel, facing the lieutenant "Good God, no, Wallace! Whatever put that infernal Idea Into your head?" he exploded. "See here, now I You're not weU enough to talk this thing oyer tonight Sobe day I'll tell you why your proposal is impossible." "That's all very well, Major. I don't know what you mean, bat 4f you don't like my proposition you know what yon can do. I'm quite well enough to listen to what's worrying you.

Sometime I'll tell you—" He swung round on his heel and made for the entrance, stopped and returned. "I suppose rd better tell you now," he exclaimed. "I had thought it might be as well sot to tell you ever. You don't happen to know who this child's father was—that man in the tent?" "What do you mean. Major?

"Hampton!" said Major Howard, grimly. lieutenant Wallace sat bolt upright on the bed and stared at the other in amassment "The man who sold our mobilization plans to Spain r he whispered, conscious of a sudden terror for the child.

I suppose she was the only thing he had In his wretched life." "Of course there's no palliation," suggested Wallace. "But the roan may have been born good and—gone downhill." "He was born rotten," answered the Major. "He sold his country to pay hi8 gambling debts. Cuba was about the only place that would hold him, I imagine. And to think that swine was once in our- regiment J Sorry rhad to tell ylm, Wallace!" He hesitated a while; Wallace had not moved; but the child at his side stirred and breathed heavily. The major's fists clenched. T o trying to be just to the dead," he said. "But I feel that a thousand years of hell wouldn't atone for that crime, Wallace." Mark .Wallace 'ooked up. "I'm not sure that I know all 'ie facts about the case, Major," he said. "The facts are that It was no sadden act of fear or temptation, but calculated, cold-blooded deliberation. We knew at the war office that there was a leakage. It had been traced to the mobilization division, where Kellerman and I were working. Even we were under suspicion for a time. Then it narrowed down to Hampton and an* other. "Wallace, those months were the worst time Tve ever spent Hampton was my best friend, and Kellerman's, too. We spied on him—had to. "Well, you know what happened, more or less. There was a woman gobetween, as there generally is—a finelooking young woman, little more than a girl, named Hilda Morsheim. One of those French-German Alsatians, Wallace. Kellerman got some hold on her, and she confessed. The case against Hampton was absolutely proven. "There wasn't any trial. The fellow could have been shot op for a.good many years; he had cost his country millions; he ought to have bssn hanged. But he was quietly cashiered and allowed to disappear. Maybe It was a fooUsh mors, but we felt tbs shams pretty badly and wanted to forget It Hampton was let go, on tbs nndsrstandlng that he leave tbs went on afterward. Thut's why we had orders to hang him as soon us Santiago wus taken. He did the kindest thing he could have done to himself when he got iu the way of that sniper's bullet. "I'll tell you who the child's mother was, Wullace, because I was unfortunate enough* to know her. She was a Miss Rennie, Miss Murjorie Rennie, of a Baltimore family—flue people, and, of course, with a tradition like that, she believed in the scoundrel absolutely. She came to me twice. The first time was before the informal trial held by the department. She begged me to believe he was innocent and the victim of a trup. I wouldn't even listen. You know, when a man has to run down his friend he has to harden his heart. "She came to me again, utter Hampton was broken. She told me I hart played fnlse to my best friend and that I'd suffer for it to the last day of my life. I've never forgotten that Interview, and you can guess how it made me mad to hang Hampton when we learned that he was still keeping up the game from his exile In Cuba. He must have got quite a namber of confidential papers out of the war office. That's about all." "It's enough," said Wullace. "The girl married him, then?" "So much we learned. And also that she died later. You see, we've been pretty close on the fellow's track the last couple of years—ever since th*» war became a probability, in fuct. Most of the officers in the regiment are since that time, but I guess they all knew something, and kept it quiet, like you." Wallace nodded. "I fancy there's a good deal of feeling," be said. "Quite a good deal," said the major, dryly. "And I guess you'll agree with me that this makes it—let's say, a little difficult to adopt his child officially?" "You mean the remembrance would be too bitter?"

Major, which came as a sort of revision of the old law. It's just what we ought to do, because it's the only way to adjust the matter." -Adjust it? Adjust whatr cried the Major, with sudden passion. "The whole of that hellish business. Major. The man was once an officer of the Seventieth. He's dead and bis crimes nova died with him.

Mujor Howard pulled at his mustache in agitation. "You don't really mean It, Wallace?" he asked. "I do. If you want rue to let you take her till the war's over—" "It means forgiving that blackguard." "It means forgetting him aud letting the Judge Judge." "It goes against every instinct. I'd bring her up away from the regimental life. Besides, there are the others." "Who else knows?" "Well, of course, nobody else knows who the dead man was. The colonel will have to know. But he needn't know we've adopted the child. He's going South after the war. However, I'm afraid Kellerman knows. He recognized what was left of the face, or suspected somehow. I could tell from his manner." "I don't see any overwhelming difficulty In that. You can trust Kellerman?" The major nodded, and it occurred to Wallace that he would rather trust any of the officers than Kellerman. He had conceived a prejudice against him which he could not have explained "And Hampton's name was erased from the old mess list," Wallace continued. The major, who- had be^n pulling at his mustache and thinking deeply, came to his decision. "Well, Til take her on those terms, Wallace," he said. "The fellow was a bad lot, but, as you say, there may he no reason why this little animal should suffer for his sins. The mother was decent, and there may be something In that idea of a vicarious restitution. I'll agree, Wallace, if you'll let me take over the charge of her till the war's ended. We'll enter her on the mess book and settle a fictitious parentuge on her afterward, and may she never know her father's history. By the time she's old enough to understand a mascot's duties, liirt with the lieutenants, und plead for the drunks, maybe we'll have forgotten it ourselves. Goodnight, my boy. Take care of your wound. I'll send In that milk and biscuit and n couple of cakes of naphtha soap, and a porcelain tub with silver trimmings, for you to make a start on her in the morning." He glanced at the sleeping child, took Mark's hand and went quickly out of the tent. Under the sky he stood still for a few moments. "The d d scoundrel !" he muttered. At that instunt his alert ear heard what the sentry, posted some distance uway, had failed to catch—the rustling of some moving figure In the dense jungle grass at the edge of the camp. The major remained perfectly motionless, except for his right hand, which was swiftly withdrawing his revolver from Its case. Suddenly he was transformed Into action. He leaped between the two last tents of the line, to see a man confront him for an IDstant. In the light of the quartermoon the major could not distinguish how the intruder was dressed. It was evident, however, that he had been prowling outside the tent which held Wallace and the child. "Halt!" shouted the major and the sentry together, and. as the man dropped into the grass, the rifle and revolver rang out simultaneously. The sentry, shouting to the guard, came running up. The major and he searched the spot, but they found nobody. "One of those d d Cuban sneakthleves!" muttered Major Howard an he replaced his revolver In its case. And he hurried away to look after his men. Several years elapse and then Wallace, now a captain in the army, visits Eleanor at a young ' ladies' boarding school. Eleanor, now a young lady, gives her guardian a shock, but a pleassnt one, as He takes leave of her. Dont miss the next Installment (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Ait win )>e ooted, the back of this coat Is rather long, the center reaching below the knees. The aides slope gradually up, so that the skirt of the coat Is approximately 38 Inches long at either side front, and a vest In contrasting fabric and color gives a real style touch to the garment. This suit would be very smart made of navy velours or broadcloth, with vest of white cloth, braided in black. Or the suit might be attractively developed in a dark red with vest of white braided in black or with braid matching the color of the suit proper. The use of vests makes It possible to remodel a last season suit attractively and at little expense. Suit skirts are nearly all severely plain, and all are comparatively narrow, but the ultra-narrow skirts, measuring a yard and a quarter or less, bulletined for fall and winter wear are really seldom seen, -except in crarment manufacturers' showrooms. Manufacturers make their model garments very narrow, hut buyers nearly always stipulate that the garments they purchase shall have skirts that are of reasonable walking width, and very few.that are less than a yard and a half wide are actually shown In the shops. In regard to the possibility of a strong vogue for suits during the season the present indication seems to be that very high-grade and high-priced suits will he in great demand, whilethe medium and cheaper grades (none are really cheap) will not be HO popular.

HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS Dissatisfaction With One's Own Work Results From Desire to Hurry the Job Through. When the modern girl makes a dress for herself she 1« apt to say that she does not feel comfortable In It. She is afraid that It does not look right, or that it looks home-made, and she feels that the freshness has all gone from It. In fact, she does not take any pleasure at all in wearing it. Little does she realize tbe true reason for this feeling of dissatisfaction. It Is simply because a girl in these modern days of hurry and bustle wants to finish a dress too quickly. She does not allow herself sufficient time to finish It well. While she Is still wrought up over the finishing touches and all on edge from sewing the hooks and eyes on in a hurry, she puts the dress on and then wonders what's the matter. This Is all wrong. A dress should be finished carefully, pressed and put away for a week at least, before It is worn. Then when it is taken out again the difficulties encountered la the making will have- been forgotten; the dress will seem entirely new, and will have all the freshness of one com* ing from a store.

Abraham Tested ( w . 1, 2). God does not tempt men to am (James 1:18), bnt he subjects them to rigid tests to prove them, in the treatment of Abraham we have a supreme example. God tested Abraham, not Lot Sodom tested Lot God tests the man who is proof against tbe tests of Sodom. God had promised Abraham an heir through whom blessings were to come to the world. For many years his faith was sorely tried in waiting for its fulfillment At length, his heart rejoiced in the realisation of that hope. In the lad In the patriarch's tent were wrapped Abraham's hopes of the future when his seed should he as the stars for multitude. His was no ordinary expectation. The human affections and hopes were, no doubt Included; but a new nation was to spring from him, and Isaac was the sole link making the connection. Then, too, he saw the coming Redeemer, for "Abraham saw my day and was glad" (John 8:56). It is only as we thus see all that Isaac meant to his father and God's purpose for the future of the world, that we really can appreciate the crucial test that came to Abraham. A test in some sense similar comes to many Christian fathers and mothers. God is calling for sons and daughters to be offered on the altar of his service. The test is something terrific, as some who have given up sons and daughters for the mission field can testify. It Is only as God Is known to be almighty (Genesis 17:1) shall ability be given to give them up. II. Abraham Standing the Test (w. 2-10). 1. On the way (TV. 8, 4). Abraham promptly obeyed. There was neither hesitancy nor arguing. God had issued the command. At his call Abraham said: "Here am I" (v. 1). He could not say "No" to God. In theordinary affairs of life we call a man weak who cannot say "No," who has QO will of his own; but the man who could not say "No" to God, we count strong. Early In the morning he was on the way to the place of which God had told him. All who really believe in God will yield themselves to him without question, reserve, or shrinking. Anything short of this Is not consecration. We should not stop to ask how or why. It is enough to know that God has spoken. 2. "Abide ye here" (v. «). This testing experience was too sacred for human eyes to gaze upon. How like this the words of Jesus In Gethsemane: *Tarry ye here." Human sympa^j thy Is sweet, and Is to be prized, but"^ we need to be alone in times of great testing. There are times when human sympathy hinders us from doing our duty. When Abraham said: "We will come down again to you," he spoke sincerely, for he believed that God would give him Isaac back from the dead (Heb. 11:19). 8. Isaac bearing the wood upon which he is to be offered ( w . C, 7). This reminds us of Christ bearing the cross on the way to Calvary. Isaac musts, have been now a young man. He did hot resist or cry out, but graciously submitted, showing that he is making a willing sacrifice. N 4. The angel of the Lord calls ( w . 8-12). At the critical moment when Abraham's hand had lifted the'gleam? ing blade to make real the offering* God interfered. God did not want human sacrifice as a burnt offer! nav hot ha wanted Abraham to give up to him his best the surrender of his will to him. God Is always pleased with submissive obedience. "To obey is better than sacrifice.*' Many times we are face to face with the test of giving up oar fondest hopes and purposes, but when we have met the test as Abraham did, we get back oar offering or greater things Instead. , til. God Win Provide Himself a Lamb ( w . IS, 14). Just behind Abraham was a ram caught In a thicket by hiahorna* Baa Abraham offered instead of Ida son.

To raise armies and supply them, to build the navy ana support it, and to furnish ships and transf) ort, we must have money in arge amounts. The expenditures of the Government for the ensuing year are estimated at $24,000,000,000, a sum which baffles the imagination to conceive. That vast amount must come one-third from taxes and two-thirds from loans. The success of the Fourth Loan, like those that preceded it is, therefore, absolutely necessary. We must work with the highest speed, as if the war was to end in six months. We must prepare in every direction, as if it was to last for years. Speed and preparation are both expensive. m Without the Loans we cannot have either ;;::•:•: m •:•:.*.• « : • :¾¾ Wc are fighting to secure a just, righteous and lasting peace. For a complete peace we must have a complete victory. It must not be a peace of bargain or negotiation. No peace which satisfies Germany can ever satisfy us. N o peace that leaves Germany in a position to renew the war against us will be worth having. It will be far from sufficient to gain all our objects on the Western frontsBelgium, Alsace- Lorraine, Italia Irredenta. The President with wisdom and foresight and great force expressed his determination to redeem Russia. Russia must not be left in Germany's hands. That would mean another war. Poland must be free. Slav republics must be established to bar the way between Germany and the East. Serbia and Roumania must be redeemed. AH these things are essential. Nothing will bring them but complete victory and a peace dictated by us and our allies. It is a conflict of ideas. It is the principle of evil arrayed against the principle of good. It is the battle of freedom and civilization against barbarism and tyranny. We must win and we shall win* i . . . . & * m %# m K& B *T.'.» -¾¾¾...

DUNNING, Co™* su rveyor A I HHE fighting slogan in France, gathering inspiration arid significance as the conflict grows more violent and more desperate, is "Carry On." On land, on sea, in the air, it rings sharp and clear. Into the front line trenches comes the signal to charge. The company commander swings "over the top." At his heels, pushing and stumbling through the hell of "No Man's Land," come the boys. They gain a yard, five, ten, and the machine guns speak. The commander falls, but over his shoulder, above the din of battle, he shouts, "Carry On, Lieutenant I" So on and on, till every officer falli, and the grizzled old Sergeant sets his teeth and takes what's left of them on to victory. •* €1 Carry On" must b« our slogan hers at horns.

We have for the- last lew mouths witnessed the turning ol the tide In favor of the allies, but we should not, however, be led away by our rex'ent successes. Let J he people ul borne understand that tbey, a s well as the men on the fighting line, have to lake [heir share in the struggle. This war is not a war of soldiers alone, it Is a war of nations. The front is not "over there" only, it Is everywhere. Tile men over there are doing their shale They are giving iheir lives. Let the people at home understand that tile only business today is to win the war. Let nobody be deceived as to the duration of the war, or conclude from our recent successes ihar the end is near. We shall win. We are at a turning point. But the end is yet far away. It is my c o n v i c t i o n - a n d all .soldiers who have been two or three years at The front, will tell you the same thing. thai this war may last two or three years more.

Tin boys at the tront are watching this Liberty loan. They shall judge by the amount subscribed of the interest the people a t home, in the state, in the county, or town are taking in their efforts and In their sacrifices. They know that wheu the order comes to attack It it* their duty to go an'd to give their lives if necessary, and they are willing to do it. But they feel, too, that when the call comes from the president to the people at home t o give the money necessary for the prosecution of the war, it is the duty of everyone to give all that he can and that the people at home shotfld be willing to do it. It is i heir share—and how small when compare*! to that of the lighting man—in the struggle. Let the men at the front know and feel that tlie people at home are heart and soul with them in this w a r ; that the people at home u^e ready to make every effort and ••very sacrifice as long as will be necessary to win that complete and decisive victory which shall secure for all nations freedom and lasting peace. SET PACE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR. Don't wait io see how much your neighbor Is going to subscribe to tin? Fighting Loan, but buy bonds to the utmost limit of your ability and set the pace for him. A loan quickly oversubscribed will have a wonderful effect in stimulating the morale of th« allied countries and allied armies, while the re\erse will be the effect In (Jermany, whose people at last are being told that Fnitefl States Is fighting ihem to the extent of Its tremendous resources. •^rCrttCrCrCtirCtertrCrCrtrC^ WHOLE NATION AT WAR; g NOT ONLY SOLDIERS f 2 By C.

THE LOCKET By M I L D R E D W H I T E . (CuvyrifH. i y i b , Wi-aipru Newspaper Lmuu.'^ Mollle-EUen found the glinting thing in the road which led from the suburben -station to her home. Mollie had uot yet learned ro call home, ihe humble house which ^sheltered h e r ; bui it was the place where she spent the l o u r s when n o t engaged in Doctor Brimson's office. Mollie Ellen wished wistfully that she might know the joy of giving comfort and courage to one bruve American soldier. H e r throat tightened a t The thought of her own usele.s«hess, the only one who needed her, had gune. And thus she ca;ne to the golden locket glinting from the roadway, li was an ordinary round locket, but when shw opened it searching for a clew of ownership, a soldier's face confronted her, a tin*' face with steady honest eyes. "To J a n e , " she read on the inner cover, "from her Bob." T h e locket's iong chain was unbroken, so it must have slipped unclasped from " J a n e ' s " neck. It had been "her Bob's" gift, no doubt, before he had left for France. Mollie-Ellen glanced up aud down t h e road, no vehicle, no passerby was i n sight. She clasped the chain about her own throat a s she hurried o n ; she would advertise the locket in the morning's paper. Even the small amount puid for advertising, would m e a n added economy to Mollie-Ellen. She found that she would only b e uble to insert the a d v e r t i s e m e n t occasionally. But though she unselfishly persisted, no claimant responded. Mollie- Ellen took to wearing the ornament, hoping that It might be recognized a n d r e t u r n e d t o i t s proper owner, b u t "Bob's J a n e " w a s evidently not in Mollle- Ellen's proximity. T h e locket s b e concluded m u s t h a v e dropped from some touring car. So each night a s t h e lonely girl placed it in h e r Jewel ease, she smiled into t h e soldier's eyes. "Good-night, Bob," she -would whisper. It was really wonderful how companionable a photograph could become.

So Mollie-Ellen spent her s p a r e hours in the house devoted t o Red Cross work, and there overruling MoMie-EUen's aloofness, a fashionable and beautiful worker sought her out. She blushed with pleasure a t Miss Stuyvesant's praise. "You are so conscientious in your duty," that person remarked, "perhaps like myself, you h a v e a personal incentive? My brother is now in training," And just a s Mollle-Ellen was about to deny t h e implication, t h e golden locket flew- open, and quick a s she was In closing it, Miss Stuyvesant had glimpsed for an Instant a soldier's cap. "So I was right," she laughed, "your b r o t h e r ? " "No—" Mollie-Halen began confusedly, her companion's Interruption left h e r sentence unfinished. "My brother is near h e r e in camp, so we are fortunate In seeing him often. Why," she broke off, "there h e Is now coming toward us. H e Is going to drive m e home." As Mollle-Ellen's startled gaae fell upon the advancing soldier, she longed to hide her own burning face, for the man w a s actually "Bob," himself, " J a n e ' s Bob" of the golden locket. H e looked down upon Mollie-Ellen, acknowledging his sister's Introduction, a s though h e were a w a r e of those good-night confidences. "You must let u s t a k e you home," Miss Stuyvesant insisted, and a s t h e t h r e e flew along In the big automobile Mollie Ellen d r e a m e d of brighter days.

Iflaa Mind—One of thoot miracle fctfaml Fired From Shoulder or Hip in Bursts of Twenty Shots in Two and One- H a l f Second*—Air Cooled, Gas Operated. By JAMES H. COLLINS. (From the Commute** on I'ubhc Information. Washington, D. ('.) Thre^ hundred senators, representatives, journalists, and tinny officers of the French, British. Italian, Belgian and AinerlcMi) t'urces stood behind a little jsquati of ordnance men the other day at a rifle range outside of Washington. "Attention !" commanded the officer in dmrK*-' of the squad. "Shoulder tire — one magazine— serni-jintomatic—Ready ! Loud I Aim ! Fire r There was & popping like that, say, of half a dozen packs of giant firecrackers all set off at once. It lasted abont ten seconds, the time required to fire 20 shots from what looked like an ordinary ritle in the hands of each soldier. Five hundivd yards away the dirt flew behind a row of small targets set up to represent men. "Shoulder fire — one magazine— automatic—load!" was the next command given. But a different volley was heard at the command "Fire!" It sounded like B-r-r-r-r-r! and lasted only two afcd a half seconds ! If you want to estimate the rapidity, listen to the ticking of yonr watch, which averages about four ticks per second, and realfze that the automatic fire of this weapon was just twice «s fast—eight standard array rifle cartridges fired in a second with one pull of the trigger. And that was. the new Browning machine gun which Uncle Sam was about to manufacture at the rftte of thousnnds a week, and had brought to this rifle range for its first puhllc exhibition. Other methods of firing were shown with the gun placed at the hip and with the soldiers marching toward the target, firing as they walked. Then the spectators crowded around and began asking questions. "Is it air cooTed or water cooled? What does it weigh? How fast can they be made? What do they cost? Is it a better weapon than this machine gon o r that?" All Were Convinced. Among those present was one member of congress who. a few weeks before, during an anxious Inquiry Into our war preparations, had stated his belief that the Browning machine gun was only a dream. And now he was allowed to fire the weapon himself, and planted a succession of ballets In the distant target with an accuracy which left no question in his mind as to the tangibility or accuracy of this new tool of the American soldier. On the following morning newspapers throughout the country published a detailed description of both this gun. known as the "light Browning," and another type called the "heavy Brown. ing," which was also demonstrated, being fired from a tripod, water cooled, and fed with canvas belts containing 25C cartridges each. It has fired 20,000 shots* in a little less than 48 minutes. Each legislator and journalist asked his own questions, and there was an honest spirit of Inquiry* evident. Every American present, while admitting the impressive nature of the test, seemed to feel that he was personally repre» senting the nation and bound to overlook no technical details touching the efficiency of these new weapons. And In t h a t matter each American did truly represent the nation which has been keen to discover every part of our war program open to question, each according to his own light and reading. The reader of this article, too, will want to ask his own technical questions, and for his Information all the facts abont both types of guns have been summarized separately, so that attention here may be concentrated upon another aspect of the machine-gun program— its tactical nse as a tool apart from the mere details of how much it weighs, how fast It fires, how many shots a second, how mi>ny times it Jams In a test, how 4t is cooled, how many parts it has, how quickly they can be taken down and put together again* etc. One of the first questions asked by everybody concerning the light gun, for instance, was: "Is it cooled by air or waterT* And the answer to that question is: "By air—but cooling Is not a problem with the light Browning.** Naturally, a statement of that sort comes as a surprise to the man in the street who has heard that machine guns are subject to the terrific heat of smokeless-powder gases, which sometimes develop the destructive temperature of 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and that keeping a machine cool in action Is one of the chief problems with that type of weapon. Bnt when the tactical use of this particular arm is under* stood, one easily understands how cools& nd*, and probably the teas of thousands, and not inconceivably by hundreds of thousands before the Hun la beaten. Provide Something Better. Our ordnance department has been working since we entered' the war to scud American soldiers to France with a complete kir of tools represents live of American Inventive ability. First sizing up the job oi ciueMu£ lIn* Hun out of trench, shell box, and subterranean tunnel, and ascertaining what the allies have found usctul in The way of sew, hammer and hatchet, *he ordnance department has worked Vo provide something a little better in every case, from poison gas diui gas masliy to machine guns and hlgh-explo.sive shrapnel. The light Browning, also known as the "automatic rifle," requires no cool* lug apparatus, because in its tactical use in battle as a tool it will be called upon only for what are known as "bursts of tiring." It is a remarkable new tool, better than anything of its particular type yet developed, and different from every other weapon in the „ world. Its nearest prototype is the French Chauchat automatic rifle, which *f*"has proved extremely effective. At the present stage of tactics the Browning automatic rifle will be a superior tool for perhaps three definite jobs in trench warfare. First, being as portable as the ordinary array rifle, it can be quickly brought into action along every part of a trench by defenders to stop the advance of an enemy. With the heavier types of machine gun fired from a tripod and requiring considerable time for getting into position, if no* permanent emplacement, such resistance of invaders in a pinch might prove difficult. With the new Browning firing liO shots automatically in less than three seconds, or 20 shots semlautomatieally as fast as one desires to pull the trigger, loading with a fresh magazine each 20 shots in a couple of seconds, tin entire trench front can be protected with outbursts of machine-gun fire, which will not have to be continued long to do the work—not long enough for heating of the gun to become a problem. SWeeps the Trenches. The third job for this characteristic Yankee notion comes when our fellows have reached the enemy trenches. At that moment, even though but a few arrive, the Browning automatic rifle Is expected to replace the bayonet and bomb under certain conditions, and multiply the effectiveness of each soldier who gets across No Man's Land, for the rapidity and accuracy of the Browning fire is such that it will be only a matter of seconds to sweep an enemy trench in both directions. There are other tactical uses for the weapon. As few as a dozen of these automatic rifles are sufficient to lay down a temporary burrage at right angles to a trench front, and even two of them quickly niaced at opposite ends of a trench front can establish a cross fire as effective as a barrage un* der some circumstances. For with each gun firing along one leg of a letter V meeting and passing somewhere out in No Man's Land, the chances ot on enemy getting through this V will be very slim—this will be a defense equivalent to frontless rifle fire from dozens of individual soldiers, and can be established with the minimum of exposure.. Tiuese are the tactical points of the new weapon, and one has only to consider it from this viewpoint to understand that technical questions such as have been raised by laymen during recent discussions of the merits of one machine gun as against another do not touch the heart of the military problem— both the design of this gun and Its use as a toot in battle are palpably matters to be left to military men. Another interesting viewpoint on both the light and heavy types of Browning guns can be gained by briefly considering the general development of machine guns as fighting tools. From the days of slings and stones and arrows fighting man has sought ways of delivering enough missiles Into the ranks of an advancing foe to stop him. With gunpowder and portable guns the number of missiles Increased, and also their deadliness. The matchlock fired clumsily from a tripod was replaced by smoothfbore muzzle- loading guns, and then muzzle-loading rifles, breech-loading rifles capable of firing shots singly, and finally the repeating rifle, with a capacity of five or six shots In rapid succession. Then came shrapnel, delivering a spray of bullets over a considerable range, and also the first machine guns equipped to fire hundreds of shots in rapid succession, but at first so heavy and clumsy that they could not be moved much more quickly than artillery. Fired From Shoulder and Hip. These first machine guns are known as the heavy types and were presently reduced in weight and developed in mobility, becoming what are known as the portable Intermediate types of which the Lewis gun is an example. Still farther lightness and mobility were wanted, however; something that would convert an ordinary rifle into an effective machine gun for brief outbursts of fire. In other words, the true type of light machine gun as exemplified first In the French Chauchat and now in the light Browning. The** two fighting tools are thus far the only ones of their type, and at present only the French and American armies are equipped to use them tactically, the British army doing its machine-iron work with the portable intermediate ing may be disregarded in the light Lewis gun. According to reports from Browning, and its design developed in I our military observers in France, the other directions for,other purposes. So drift of the French army is decidedly we will try to get the tactical point of J toward greater nse of automatic rifias view—which Is the point of view of (of the highly portable type.

"They covered themselves with glory," the papers say. Of course they did—they arc Americans. They met the finest of the enemy's troops in a terrific hand-to-hand struggle.

The number on the lecture course scheduled for the 25th has been postponed until further notice. School Ventilation The School Commissioner urges at this time, particularly, that the school rooms be well ventilated. Teachers should keep the rooms warm but some fresh air should be coming into the rooms at all times. The best plan for ventilation of schools, where a special ventilating system is not installed, is to place buffer boards in the windows. School boards should see to it that they are put in. Teachers are all informed on how th ese boards should be placed. OBITUARY Cornelia Ann Bullis, oldest child of Robert H- and Annis Hunt Bullis, was born in Unadflla Township.

ONE FOURTH OF COUNTRY'S POPULATION JS ENROLLED. estimated That Approximately Eight Million Women Are Engaged in Canteen Work and the Production of Relief 8upptie»—Vsst Sunn Expended. Ked Cross chapters throughout the country held their annual meetings •>cto*>er 23, at which the following •message fcoto the War Council was ••ead: • To the Chapters of the American Ued Cross: The War Council sends greetings to Hie chapters of the American Red • foss oo the occasion of their annual meetings for 1918. With these greetings go congratulations oh the great work of the chapters •luring the paj*t year and, above all -rhlngs, OQ the wonderful spirit of sacrifice and patriotism which has pervaded that work. The strength of the Ked Cross rests •J{<on Its chapters. They are Its bone «nd sinew. They supply Its funds, •hey supply its men and women, they tuppiy- lis 'enthusiasm. Let us, then, w l e w together the Ued Cross story »f the past year. Some idea of the size to which your • ied Cross family has grown may be withered from the following facts: On May 1, HUT, Just before the ap- .u.lntment of the War Council, the American Ked Cross had -180,194 memucrs working through 5G2 chapters. On July 'J\, WIS, the organization numbered ^0,048,103 annual members. resides 8,000,000 members of the fnnlor Red (!ross—a total enrollment •>f over one-fourth the population of 'he United States. Since the beginning of the war you *f the chaffers- have co-operated with '.he War Council In conducting two war 'und drives and one membership drive, •ii addition to the campaign on behalf *f the Junior Ued Cross. The total actual collections to date 'rom the first war fund have amounted •i more titan $115,000,000. The subscriptions to the second war fund • mounted to upwards of $170,000,000. From membership dues tlus collec- : ons have amounted to approximately ^4^00,000. Splendid Work Done by Women. To the foregirg must be added that very large. contribution of materials • tid time given by the millions of worn- »n throughout the country in surgical Iressings, in knitted articles, In hospital and refugee garments, in canteen work, and the other activities the chapters have been called upon to perform. Tt is estimated that approximately 1.000.000 women are engaged in can- <een work and the production of relief •applies through the chapters. For the period up to July 1, 1918, American Red Cross chapters, through • heir workrooms, had produced : 490,120 refugee garments. 7,123,821 hospital supplies. 10,780,489 hospital garments. 10,131,501 knitted articles. 102,748,107 surgical dressings. A total of 221*382,838 articles—of an estimated aggregate value of at least •44.000.000. These articles were largely the oroduct of women's hands, and. by the tame token, infinitely more precious than could have been the output of factories or machines. These articles <o!ng to the operating room of the hospitals, to homeless or needy refugees. *nd carryfhg comfort 'to our own boys «a the field, convey a message of love from the women of this country entlre- •7 distinct from the great money value **ttaching to their handiwork. Money Spent in Work. By the terms under which the first Red Cross war fund was raised, the •iui pier*, were entitled to retain 25 per «*ent of the.amount collected, In order defray local erpenses, to carry on their home service, work, to purchase materials to be utilized In diopter production and otherwise to meet the numerous calls made upon them. The chapters were thus entitled to retain nearly ¢29.000,000. As a matter of fact* their HCtuai retentions amounted to only «faout 122,000.000. Oat of collections from annual memfcewoJsj*.*# a, chapters have retained «boat $11400.000. From this total snm. therefore, of $38,- 300,000 retained by the chapters, they •mve mat til the oftentimes very heavy local demands npoo them, and In sddlrtoa have provided for use by national headtaatttra products valued, u stated aaova, at a w a r d s of $44,000.- at f£he chapter! have la effect retimed tt the War ChsmctLojet alone the 133,- net of the war fend hi valve ef tlon of a> least $11,000,000. Ii will thus been seen that during the eighteen months which have ulupseil since the United States entered the war, the American people will have either paid in or pledged to file American Ued Cross for its work of relief throughout the world, in money or in material values, a net total of at least $325,000,000. Revealed America's Heart H has been because of this spirit which has pervaded nil American R*d Cross effort in this war that the aged governor of one of the stricken and battered provinces of France statexi iwt long since that, though France Hid long known of America's greatness, strength and enterprise, it remained for Lhe American Ued Cross in this war to reveal America's heart. # In this country, at this momeut, the workers of the Ued Cross, through its chapters, are helping to add to the comfort and health of the millions of oar soldiers in 1C2 camps and cantouments, as well as of those traveling on railroad trains or embarking on ships for duty over-seas. The home service of the Red Cross, with its now more than 40,000 workers, is extending Its ministrations of sympathy and counsel each month to upwards of 100,0'K) families left behind by soldiers at the front—a number ever growing with the Increase of our men under arms. But. of course, the heart of the Red Cross and its money and attention always move toward and focus themselves In Europe where the American Ked Cross, as truly "the greatest mother In the world,* Is seeking to draw "a vast rwet of mercy through an ocean of unspeakable pain." Red Cross Worth Recognized. Nothing is withheld that can be given over there to supplement the efforts of our army and navy in caring for our own boys. The Red Cross does not protend to do the work of the medical corps of the army or the navy ; its purpose is to help and to supplement. Nor does the Ued Cross seek to glorify what it does or those who do It; our satisfaction 1¾ In the result, which, we are assured by Secretary Baker, General Pershing, General Ireland and all our leaders, is of inestimable value and of indispensable Importance. By the first of January your Red Cross will iiave working in France upwards of 5,000 Americans—a vivid contrast to the little group of eighteen men and women which, as the first Red Cross commission to France, sailed about June 1, 1917, to initiate our efforts in Europe. Your Ued Cross now hns active, opcrating commissions in France, in England. In Italy, in Belgium, in Switzerland, In Palestine and In Greece. You . have sent a shipload of relief supplies nnd a group of devoted workers to northern Russia; you have dispatched a commission to work behind our armies in eastern Siberia ; you have sent special representatives to Denmark, to Serbia and to the Island of Madeira. Carries Message of Hope. Your Red Cross Is thus extending relief to the armies and navies of our allies; and you are carrying a practical message of hope and relief to the v. friendly peoples of afflicted Europe and Asia. Indeed, we are told by those best informed in the countries of our allies that the efforts of your Red Cross to aid the soldiers and to sustaJn the morale of the civilian populations left at home, especially in France and Italy, have constituted a very real factor in winning the war. - The veil has already begun to lift. What the Red Cross may be called upon to do In the further course of the war, or with the coming of victory, peace and reconstruction, It would be idle to attempt to prophesy. But your great organization, In very truth "the mobilized heart and spirit of. the whole American people," has shown Itself equal to any call, reafcy to respond to any emergency. Spirit of All Best and Highest. The American Red Cross has become not so much an organization as a great movement, seeking to embody in organized form the spirit of service, the spirit of sacrifice—In short, ail that Is best and highest in the ideals and aspirations of our country. Indeed we cannot but believe that this wonderful eplrit which service in and for the Red Cross has evoked In this war, Is destined to become In oor national life an element of permanent value. At Christmas time we shall ask the whole American people to answer the Red Cross Christmas roll call. It will constitute a unique appeal to every man, woman and child In. this great land of onrs to become enrolled in our army of mercy. It Is the hope of tbe War Council that thts Christmas membership roil call shall constitute a reconeocratkm of the whole American people, an inspiring reaaeertion to mankind that in this boor of world tragedy, net to eee> eeer bet to serve la Amerlet'e supreme aim. h THE WAR COUNCIL OT TOT AMBR 1CAN RED CROSS.

Physicians everywhere have complained about the lurge number of unnecessary calls they have had to make because of the Inability of many people to distinguish between the cases requiring expert medical cure and those which could readily be cared for without a physician. With influenza continuing to spread in many parts of the country, and with an acute shortage of doctors and nurses everywhere, every unnecessary call, on either physicians or nurses makes it so much harder to meet the urgent needs of the patients who are seriously ill. Present Generation Spoiled. "The present generation," said the surgeon general, "has been spoiled by havlnj? had expert medical and nursing >eare readily available. It was not so In the days of our grandmothers, when every good housewife was expected to know a good deal about the care of the sick. 'Every person who feels sick and appears to be developing an attack of influenza should at once be put to bed In a well-ventilated room. If his bowels have moved regularly, It is not necessary to give a physic; where a physic is needed, a dose of castor oil or Koeholle salts should be given. "The room should be cleared of all unnecessary furniture, bric-a-brac, and rugs. A wash basin, pitcher, and slop howl, soap and towel should be at hand, preferably in the room or just outside the door. "If the patient Is reverlsm n doctor should be culled, and this should he done in any case if the patient uppears very sick, or coughs up pinkish (bloodstained) sputum, or breathes rapidly and painfully. "Most of the patient* cough up considerable mucus; tu some, there is much mucus discharged from the nose and throat. This material should not be collected In handkerchiefs, hut rather In bits of old rags, or toilet paper, or on paper napkins. As soon as used, these rags or papers should be placed lu a paper bag kept beside the bed. Pocket'vhandkerchlefs are out of place in the sick room and should not be used by patients. The rugs or papers In the paper bag should be burned. "The patients will not be hungry, and the diet should therefore be light. Milk, a soft-boiled egg, some toast or crackers, a bit of jelly or jam, stewed fruit, some cooked cereal like oatmeal, hominy or rice—these will suffice In most cases. Comfort of Patient "The comfort of the patient depends on a number of little things, and these should not be overlooked. Among these may be mentioned a well-ventilated room; a thoroughly clenn bed •vith. fresh, smooth sheets and pillowcases; quiet, so that refreshing sleep may be had; cool drinking water conveniently placed; a cool compress to the forehead if there is headache; keeping the patient's hands and face the forehead if there is headachfe; clean, and the hair combed; keeping his mouth clean, preferably with some pleasant mouth wash; letting the patient know that someone Is within call, but not annoying him with too much fussing; giving the patient plenty of opportunity to rest and sleep. "It is advisable to give the sick room a good airing several times a day. "So much for the patient. It is equally important to consider the person who Is caring for him. It is Important to remember that the disease is spread by breathiug germ-laden matter sprayed Into the air by the patient in coughing or even in ordinary breathing. The attendant should therefore wear a gauze mask over her month and nose while she is In the sick room. 8uch a mask Is easily made by folding a piece of gaute four fold, sewing a piece of tape at the four corners. Observe CJeanlineee, 'The attendant should, if possible, wear a washable gown or an apron which coven the dress. This will make it much simpler to avoid infection. "It is desirable that all attendants learn how, to use a fever thermometer. This is not at all a difficult matter, and the use of SJQCJI a thermometer is a great help In caring for the patients, Tbe druggist who sells these Uieraoav eters will *be glad to show how they i t * sjt*6V Tn dosing, and lest I be misvader* X wish to leave one word of £ 1* do^caHtt* doctor.* •ft * i?*..-.

If anyone thinks there is no competition amongst the big packers he ought to go through a day's work with Swift & Company. Let him begin at the pens when the live stock comes in; let h m try to buy a nice bunch of fat steers quietly and at his own price without semebody's bidding against him. Let him realize the scrupulous care taken at the plant that not one thing is lost or wasted in order tfiat costs may be held to a minimum. Let him go up into the office where market reports are coming in,—and reports of what other concerns are doing. Let him watch the director of the Swift Refrigerator fleet, maneuvering it over the face of the country like a fleet of battleships at sea. Let himtake a trip with a Swift & Company salesm-n and try to sell a few orders of meat. Let him stay at a branch house for an hour or two and see the retail meat dealers drive their bargains to the last penny as they shop around among the packers' branch houses, the wholesale dealers, and the local acting plants. And then, when the day is over, let him have half an hour in the accounting department, where he can see for himself on what small profits the b jsiness is done. (Less than 4 cents on each dollar of sales.) If he still thinks there is no competition in the meat business it will be because he wains 10 think so. wift & Company, U. S. A. S Distinction Not His.

However this year we shall make an exception to the rule, not because we have one word of fault to find with the oppoBicg candidate, but because we recognize the unusual qualifications in the Democratic candidate, Arthur E. Cole for the office of representative to the legislature. We do not endorse him becanse he is a Democrat, neither alone for the qualifications tnat so eminently fit him for the position, but as a partial appreciation to the personal work he has done in this community through all these years of his career. Everyone who has come in contact with him in any public matter, kn<jws that he has always been an enthusiastic supporter of anything that would be of benefit in any way to this village and vicinity, especially, and to Livingston County, and that in nearly every instance i t has been without financial benefit to himself. Nine times out of ten he has put himself, his time and his money into projects for the benefit of all without a thought of recompense, and as a lawyer we believe he has given more free advice than any other man in Livingston county. Arthur E. Cole was born in Livingston. County and has spent his entire life here. He has served his township as supervisor for several terms. He was president of the village of Fowlerville three years and each time he was elected without opposition. In 1884, he was elected judge of probate, and latter served the county as circuit court commissioner. At the close of his term as judge of probate, he was admitted to the bar on examination and since 1892 has practiced law in the village of Fowlerville. He has been identified with every organization that had for its object the advancement of the interests and amelioration of the condition of the farmers and laboringmen. He was a charter member of the Grange and Farmers' Alliance and President of the State Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union for two years. He still retains hi3 farm in the township of Conway. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Michigan State Sanitorium and treasurer of that institution. He has given unBtintingly of his time to all war activities being a member of the 7/ar Preparedness Board and president of the Township of Handy War League. He has rendered valuable service free of cost in making out questionaires. His services to the public entitle his candidacy to more than a passing consideration. In the perBon of Judge Cole, as he is commonly called, the people of the county have an opportunity to send to the Legislature a man of wid^ business experience, one who is a studentof social and economic questions, well informed on the affairs of the county and state and whose integrity and ability are unquestioned. If we cared to trespass on your time and patience we could name many of the instances and the public and private benefit derived and now it seems eminently fair that \VP should almost unanimously embrace this opportunity of showing our appreciation by electing him as member of tho legislature. —The Fowlerviile Review.

Here's the Answer: of Brighton township, the Republican Candidate for State R e p r e s s i v e from Livingston County, was born on the farm he now works and which he has operated since he was old enough to do so. hor n youn^ man :'l years of age, he certainly has had n valu^bh' 'ot of experience that particularly fits him for this office. Graduating from the Michigan Agriculture College in l')U4, (the youngest male member of his class), he returned to the farm. Since then he has served as Supervisor of his township, was elected chairman of the Board of Supervisors of his County, and has represented this countyin the last two sessions of the Michigan Legislature. Some friends of hi3 opponent say that two terms are enough. They forget that prior to Mr. Ross' election, Mr. Farmer, a very worthy Democrat, held this same office four terms in succession. On account of work on the farm, and the scarcity of labor at this time, Mr. Ross does not expect to be able to see many of <he voters personally this fall. He has heard no criticisms regarding the way he has represented his county at Lansing, and if you think he ii worthy of another term, he respectfully asks your support at the coding election. Adv.

WALLACE SEES ELEANOR, NOW A YOUNG LADY, FOR FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS Synopais.—Lieut. Mark Wallace, U. S. A~, Is wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone In the jungle he comes across a dead man In a hut outside of which a little girl is playing. When he is rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and announces hU intention of adopting her. His commanding officer, Major Howard, tells him that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor who sold department secrets to an international gang In Washington and was detected by himself nnd Kellerman, an officer in the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall never know her father's shame. CHAPTER i l l . m Sewrai years later Captain Mark Wallace descended from a street car and walked up the grounds of a very select young ladies' boarding school1 In Westchester county, New York, kept by two maiden ladieB. Entering the -colonial portico, the captain rang the bell and asked to see Mis? Howard. Five minutes afterward, having satisfied the lady principal that he stood in the avuncular relation to her charge. and was n man of blameless life, he met Eleano* in tbe reception room. It was some years since he had seen her. The grimy little waif of the Santiago battlefield had shot up into a slim, ioag-feggetf schoolgirl, with brown hair tied back with a ribbon, and a face that already showed the promise of beauty. The girl hurried forward as if expecting an embrace, realized Mark's tntentlon, and checked herself quickly and held out both hands. "Dear Uncle Mark!" she exclaimed, ""I've been looking forward to you ever since I got your letter telling me that you were coming East." "Well, it's nice to be appreciated tike that," said Mark, laughing. "I couldn't quite persuade myself that it was true, and that I should really see you at last. And you're not tn the least like your photograph." "Homelier, Eleanor?' "No, but different. Older—very much older. You must be awfully old —quite thirty, I -should say." "Nearly," admitted Mark, wondering whether the long years in the West, witb the sweltering heat and arduous service, had really aged him prematurely. Mark had had no Influence to secure him anything better than a border post He often wondered why be had not gone into civil life, like so many of his class, and amassed a competency in the first booming years of the twentieth century. Something In the blood, perhaps, had held him to the arm; life, which he loved so much, in principle and hated so much In practice. He was not far abort of thirty; he had nothing hat his meager pay; no ties but a married sister tn Chicago and the girl la the boarding school, who filled so great a part of his thoughts, so disproportionate a share. For until that day he had only seen her once since be picked her np in the Jungle, and she had been too young to retain the memory of the meeting tn Major Howard's home. "I expected a young man, bat Vm Just as pleased to see you," said Eleanor. "I don't like very young men.** Mark received her amends with amusement, and they sat down side by aide upon the sofa, and were soon deep In conversation. Mark learned all about her school and her friends. She was very happy there and would regret not going hack at the end of the holidays. However, Mayor, and Mrs. Howard had only placed her there for a few months while they west on a visit to the West "I always felt that yon art really my goanttaa* even tf yom did give me q» to Major Howard,'* said Eleanor. "B«t I have only lent yon," said Mark. "I coahhrt very well tike care of yon when I was seat tr Texas. And It has always been anderstood that yom baton* to me—1 mean, that I ass yoar Mark, beginning to feel a little like a prig In the presence of this self-possessed young person. It Is so easy to assume the task of adviser from a distance, but difficult to retain the role face to face. "Well, when you wrote me last year to remember not to be pert and forward, like modern children, Uncle Mark. Fertness comes at seven or eight. One isn't pert at twelve—at least, not in the way you meant. They call it ill-bred, then." "I suppose I didn't realize how big you were getting," said Mark penitently. "But you can't think how glad 1 am to see you, anyway." "It's a shame sticking you for years out in that horrible desert," said the girl. "I wish, Uncle Mark, you hadn't stayed In the army after the war." "Why, my dear?" "Because then you could have gone into business in New York, like Captain Murray and Captain Crawford." "I've been thinking about as much myself, Eleanor. But I guess the army got hold of me." "But they haven't treated you rightly, Uncle Mark. They haven't promoted y^u for years, and they have jumped all sorts of officers over your bead. Major Howard was saying so only before he left for Alaska. But, of course, he's out of favor, and he wouldn't have any Influence, anyway. It's years since he was in the army." "I suppose I'm a back number, my dear. Some of us have to be. Perhaps I'll get my chance. I'm not thirty yet, you know, and thirty Isn't considered awfully old in the army. At least, It isn't the retiring age." "Don't be so absurd, Uncle Markl You don't look an old man at all. It was just that your photograph was taken so long ago, and 1 didn't reflect that you must have changed." "And if ever another war comes Fm suit my experience will count for a lot Aod 111 probably br.ve command over Captain Murray and Captain Crawford if ever the National Guard is called on for serious work. And then you'll have your function as our mascot, yon know." He was surprised at the girl's sadden responsiveness to his words. She grew very serious. "I've often thought about that. Uncle Mark." she answered* "But, of course, it may never happen," "I suppose n o t Bat if ever it does I mean to try to be what you meant me to be when you made that condition to the major. How I wish—how I wish—n' "Yes, my dearf* "That we knew who my father was. Sometimes I think he was only an American planter, perhaps, who lived in Cuba and was forced to flee when the war began. And then again I dream that he may have been a brave soldier who was trying to serve his country by going into the Spanish lines in disguise, and I hope that I may be worthy of him." "Yon don't remember anything, Eleanorr Tea, Uade Mark, rm sure I do— and yet I*v* thought so much about It that Tm not sure how much of it Is memory and how much is Just chikfs inventions. Perhaps I invented all at It, and mads myself betteve I remembered i t And yet I am sure part of It Is -What do you Mark rather fearfully. -Well, Uade Mark, my arm ed memories a n of Major Howard's of course, And 1 have a which the Major gave to saw that I seem to have memories, as tf they were pictures." - "What la the tirst thing you remember?" "I see a woman lying in a bod to a strange room. Her face is whiter than any face 1 have known; a man sits beside her, with his heud in his hand, and. though death has no meaning for me, I am afraid, for I know that site was my mother." "Was this in Cuba, Eleanor'."' "I don't know, but I think so, Uncle Mark, because I remember running to the window and seeing a great puliu tree outside, with spreading branches. And there are other cities, und we seem to go from place to place, always watching for somebody, and yet, as it were, hiding from people. I know we avoid people, but It is an instinct ouiy lhat tells me so. "And again I am with my father lu the Jungle. I don't know how we got there, but 1 see the trees nil around me, and I am afraid. We walk on und on, and sometimes he carries me, und we sleep under the trees and are drenched with rain. I mm so tired and thirsty. But we go on and on, and when we stop we find a little hut, und I am afraid no longer." "And then?" asked Mark In agitation. "I remember nothing. I suppose the bHllet that killed my father must have struck him while he was In the hut, but I have no picture in my mind at all." Mark mumbled something to conceal his agitation. "And do you remember rae coming and picking you up?" he uaked. She shook her head regretfully. "1 don't remember anything else," she answered. "Nothing until that dinner In the major's house." She linked her arm through his and looked at him earnestly. "Uncle Mark, it makes me unhappy sometimes to think that I have no memory, no cl^ar memory of my parents. I am sure that some day all this mystery will be cleared up. Don't you hope so?" "Yes," answered Mark, miserably. He had always wondered what the child would be like. Howard's halfyearly letters had always assumed too much for granted. Mark had practically relinquished Eleanor to the Ma- ~3or, and he had never learned anything about her that he bad really wanted to know. Lie had not imagined the precocious, high-strung, idealistic girl whom he now saw. He knew that the disclosure of her father's dishonor, If ever it came about, would shock her into a revulsion of feeling that would be fatal to the true development of her character. He had often wished that he had not pressed that Idea of the regimental mascot upon the major. It had been born In a mind attuned to the victory of r***t bloody day; In normal moments he would never have entertained it. Yet Major Howard had been more Impressed than he had admitted to Mark. The idea had spread through the minds of the other officers. There was never a Guard dinner but Eleanor was solemnly toasted, though she was not permitted to be present, and somehow the child had become a symbol In the minds of these plain men in business and professional life who spent two weeks In camp each year. After the war Mark had gone to the regulars; but he was still in touch with the officers of the Seventieth, and he knew that if ever war came, he could obtain an appointment to It. "I am sure that my father will prove to have been a brave soldier." said Eleanor, clasping her hands eagerly. "And sometimes,** she continued, **1 think that there most have been a great mystery about him." "Why?" demanded Mark, startled. "Because of the man who watches for me." "Watches for you? It is Imagination, Eleanor.** She shook her head. *Tve seen him three or four times,** answered the girl. "He waits at places that we pass when we go out together. And he watches me then, though be never attempts to speak to me.** "And you've told Miss Harperr "No. Uncle Mark. She would think t was hysterical," answered the girt shrewdly. Mark could see that, but be was certain that It was hysteria, that the Idea bad come to the child as the result of brooding over the mystery of her parentage. The entrance of the lady principal put an end to their conversation. Mark rose reluctantly. His visit had been all too brief, and It might be years before he saw the girt again.. "Well, Eleanor, this Is au revotr,*' he said. "Perhaps for years." She looked at him in sodden alarm. "You are not coming back before you leave for the West, Uade Markr she asked. - "They won't allow me the time.

He has assumed the responsibility fur your upbringing, 11 nd I'm going to have the l'un of giving you pleasured" "It's something that Major Howard can't give rue, Captain Mark." "Can 1?" "Yes," she :»ald In a lew voice, pulling at his coat, and suddenly raising her eye* to his. Murk Wallace saw the sonl of a mature woman look out of the eyes of the child. "When I'm older and have put my hair up, and wear long dresses—when I'm eighteen, say, I—I want you to marry me, Captain Mark." She was gone In a flash, running along tht corridor, while Mark Wallace stood" dumfounded at the door, bearing her footsteps grow fainter as she hurried into the recesses of .the Misses ilanx-Ts' School for Select Young Ladies. Murk went down the walk like a man dreaming. It was absurd; It was. perhaps, characteristic of the girl's age and temperament; and yet, in spite of the absurdity, Captain SI ark WK.'lace felt us if lie had suddenly regained the grimy little child whom he had found upon the hillside- In front of 'Santiago, and lost again. As he reached the gaiw NA saw a man watching hlrn from the "bend of the road. Something of furtivenesa in the man's posture made him wheel sharply round; then he remembered Eleanor's won Is and started In haste toward him. But the man shambled off at a quick gait and when Markreached the bend he could see nobody. CHAPTER IV. Anil tho years passed, and Mark Wallace grew gruyer and older, and more set and dispirited, with long alternating Intervals of resignation, when he took life as he found it and was satisfied. But he always came out of these into brief periods1 of unrest, with the sense that he hud awakened from some lethargy tbut was damning his, soul as the alkali and the winds of the plains had seamed his face and taken the last particle of his youth away. Now in Texas, now In Arlsoha, now in some lonely border post in the freezing Northwest, he remained n cap tain. He had no friends in Washington. In tlme-7-tn long tirao he, would reach his majority, no doubt, to be re lieved soon after, and waddle, with stout old majors of his own age, into ornate clubs In array centers not quite so far removed from civilization. He looked upon this prospect with Ironical patience, and now and then asked himself the unanswerable question why he had remained In the army. Eleanor was grown up and domiciled permanently in Colonel Howard's town house, and her letters had grown more Infrequent and perfunctory, until their arrival became a quarterly affair Instead of a monthly event, and not al ways that, either. And by and by the feeling came over Mark that if ever he were to see her again there would remain no com* raon link between them. Prom doubting his future he had come to doubt himself. He doubted whether the desert life had not blunted him, blunted his finer Instincts, and made him unfit for social life—certainly rendered Wm unfit for the guardianship of a young girl. But that he had relinquished to Colonel Howard—grudgingly but uncompromisingly. Never in any of his letters did be put forward the shadow of his former claim. Then, swiftly, and unexpectedly, chance turned and beckoned him. mmm Capt Wsllses meets Eleanor, whom he finds to he s ©enter of attraction. He slso renews his acquaintance wKh Kellerman, in whom he immediately discerns sn antagonist. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Had Elephants Break gtep.

It has never been considered an offence to serve in a public office in such a manner that a man's party desires him to be a candidate for more than two terms. I f this is so, then the Democrat party has been guilty of the same offense in electing men to County offices. A man in the office of Prosecuting Attorney is more or leas a target for criticism, and all I ask is the application of the rule "Never turn down a friend on account of what some one has told ' you.

VAN WINKLE FOR Prosecuting Attorney DEMOCRATIC TICKET To the Voters of Livingston County: — Last week' I used this space to show that my opponent on the Republican ticket, Willis Lyons, has held countv office for eighteen years and has been paid the huge sum of $26,400.00. I showed how he had been on tne county "payroll" every year fdr the last twenty except two. This week I want to tell you of his remarkable change of front. When I first tan against Willis Lyons in 191+, it was his second term aa prosecutor. He said to me, "Don, this is my last time. l a m through after-this term. T h e people have done enough for me. Next time the way will be clear for you." The next time came in 1916. Mr. Lyons went to the other Republican lawyers aud they would not run. He announced that he would not file a petition. But his name was written in enough times to get on the ballot, He was building up an alibi and practice makes perfect. He stated in his paid advertisements that even then he would withdraw if another candidate could be found. He had learned in advance that there was none and was taking no chances. This year it was a horse of a different color. There was another candidate for the nominanion, Mr. J. B. Munsell Jr. Therefore Mr. Lyons' petition was filed early with plenty of names. T h e excuse has not been sprang as yet, to my knowledge, but I expect it will be soon and be very full and complete. I have printed this early so it may be explained if advisable, What I shall print in this ^spacenext week will need no explanation, A man said to me the other day: "If it's a*good thing pass it on, if it isn't don't burden one man w k h i t . " I think this holds true even if the "one man" wants office so bad he doesn't file a petition for it and is ready to withdraw and then a petition is filed and he isn't ready to withdraw.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Oct, 31, 1918 No. 44 NOTORIOUS OTTOROHN Again in bimelight Supervisor Gilbert Madden of Dexter towaahip Wednesday presented a set of resolutions to the board of supervisors asking the state game and fish warden to remove Deputy Warden Otto Rohn from office, giving as bis reasons that Mr. Robn had peen convicted of violating the state laws on several occasions and that he was guilty of malfeasance in office. Attached t o Supervisor Madden's resolutions was an affidavit executed by Mr. and Mrs. Bert Thomas of North Lake, as follows: "State of Michigan, County of Washtenaw, ss: "Bert Thomas and Lillie Thomas of the township of Dexter, county and state aforesaid, being duly sworn each for himself, deposes and says that they are both well acquainted with Otto Rohn, deputy game and fish warden for Washtenaw county; that on one oc- | casion in the presence of one of these 1 deponents and in the hearing of the : other, the said Otto Rohn offered the deponent, Bert Thomas, pay and reward if he would encourage one Emanuel Lowry to dynamite Patterson lake i so that he, the said Otto Rohn, could ! arrest him, and at that time asked Bert \ Thomas to encourage dynamiting of said lake as much as possible. That • oi another occasion in the presence of both of these deponents said Otto Rohn . endeavored to g e t Lillie Thomas to ; catch and prepare a mess cf bass for < him, which was at that time out of 1 season. He then told the said Lillie j Thomas that she could call them some i other name and that there would be no i trouble about it. j "Bert Thomas, "Lillie Thomas. j "Subscribed and sworn to before me \ this 15th day of October, 1918. j "Edna M. Howard, "Notary Public, Washtenaw County, j Michigan."- Chelsea Tribune. Change in Time Last Sundav the change in time took place, the clocks being set back one hour. Detroit and Howell, however adhere to the old time which is one hour faster. Pinckney has taken ao action as yet but many are in favor of following the example of Detroit and Howell. The business men of Pinckney with only one exception are Btrongly in favor of conducting the town on fast time, thereby saving one hour of fuel and lights throughout the winter. The council will probably take action on the matter in the near future. Boxes for Soldiers ChristmaB packets are now hand at Nellie Gardner's store. No package must weigh more than two pouuds and fifteen ounces before being wrapped. No perishable, moist or explosive article must be sent. ' A label from the soldier from overseas with his address must be presented before the carton is sent. THE"FLU" IN PINCKNEY .Up to date there have been remarkably few cases of the epidemic in Pinckney and the immediate vicinity and so far no deaths from the disease are. reported. After OAe scholar had developed symptoms of the " f l u " school was promptly ordered closed by Dr. C. L. Sigler and this action probably headed off the spreading of the disease. While the doctors are very busy caring for patients at a distance from town, those living nearer are, so far, very fortunate in having very few cases to combat.

WALLACE MEETS KELLERMAN AND IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZES HIM AS AN ANTAGONIST Synopai*.—Lieut. Mark Wallace. U. S. A., is wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone in the jungle he comes across a dead man in u hut outside of which a little girl Is playl»g. When he is rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and aunounces his intention of adopting her. His commanding officer, Major Howard, tells him that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor who sold department secrets to an international gang In Washington and was detected by himself and Kellerman, an officer in the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall never know her father's shame. Several years later Wallace visits Eleanor at a young ladies' boarding school. She glv^s him a pleasant shock by declaring' that when she is eighteen she intends to marrv him. CHAPTER IV.—Continued. -A— It came in the form of n letter from Colonel Howard, the first in two years. Howard had. in the past, repeatedly tried to Induce Mark to take advantage of opportunities that he had put before \ launched into business, him, but Mark had refused stubbornly, j "I must tell you that it's a pretty until the Major had given him up in j stiff job that we're tackling, Mark," fingers and looked out of the window' into the busy hive of the capital, and tried to make himself believe that it was all true. When Kellerman had gone the Colonel invited Mark to sit down, and disgust. Howard did not know, and Mark did not himself understand, the underlying idea in his own mind, the sense of subdued rancor against the man who had robbed him of Eleanor, coupled with the sense of sacrifice, that he might withdraw all his claims on the child. Now, however, Howard made one more attempt. "I want you to think this proposition over as quickly as possible," he wn.,te, "not for my sake or yours, but because your duty is to take the Job. Willi war with Germany in plain view to the initiated, there are great things doing in Washington, and I've been offered my old [tost at the mobilization department, which has been enlarged beyond all knowledge. Your work in the West is better known than you think, Wallace, and we want you here. Wire if you can, and come by the first train. This is official, so don't wait for divisional notification, which may take days." he said. "To begin with, we're a sort of nucleus of the whole organization. We're in touch with every division. We have to Lave the wl»ote thing at our fingers' end?- *&d it's mainly a matter of ^hJps, animals, and transport. An J to cap the climax, you can Imagine *hut a nest of intrigue and espionage Washington has become in these days. And, as neutrals—ostensibly neutrals—we can do nothing to put an end to it." He stretched out his finger and pointed toward the big safe between the windows. "Any one of some two hundred papers there, Mark, would give a valuable clue," he said. "Every night, when work is finished, your task will be to open the safe, take out the inner case containing these documents, add those on which you have been working, including every waste sheet and every scrap of the day's blotting paper, and have the day porter convey them, under your personal supervision, to The letter reached Mark In one of \ t l u ' strong room, where you and either his periods of helpless despondency.

In regwtted as soon as the message had t , H ' morning the same procedure Is rebeen dispatched, but packed his suit- • ^I'si'd. And that is why I insisted case, turned over the command to the 1 ' m o u r Setting you, Mark. I know you senior lieutenant, and took the train for Washington. As he went East the years seemed to fall from him like a dream. It was a frozen labyrinth in which he seemed to have beeji wandering; he seemed to come to himself with a consciousness of years wasted, but of years of action ahead. Colonel Howard gazed curiously at him as he rose from his desk in the war office and grasped his hands. "I should never have known you, Wallace," he said. What he was thinking was, "Good, Lord, how the years have eaten into him!" "Don't think that your wprk has been unrecognized," he said, after a few minutes of desultory chatting. "It has been, and I know that recognition Is coming to you in the fullest measure. You are to work under me here; it's n big scheme that we are preparing, mv boy, and only Kellerman and I, and yourself, will be acquainted with all the details, outside of the departmental head. You remember Kellerman?" Mark nodded, trying to piece together the pictures of the* past. "We are working out the mobilization plane for the first-contingent, after It reaches France," Howard continued. "It's a bigger scheme than anything we knew In the past. You'll nctf'as my subordinate and have an intimate knowledge of the details—a sort of understudy, In foot, bnt with a good \ deal of Initiative as well. And If war comes, as It is sure to come, we'll be gent over on the first transport, to prop a w things for the troops. Ah, Kellerman, here'* Wallace, newly arrived to take over his duties." Mark saw not the slightest change in Kellerman since the days of the Cuban war. Kellerman was just as florid as ever, just *s burly, with the same rather sinister way of glancing; his black bair was unthJnned and untouched with gray. H * had borne the y e a n much better than Mark. If Kellerman reciprocated Mark's feelings, he showed nc sign of It in hh» cordial feaodgiip. ^ *JVt war* g}ad to get you, Wallace," »Ws4dv "You'll excuse me for a no» MHOU Vp* tar*? H a Oiyw Oafawat Howard aside la w e m u i o ! ) whila Mark twirled lift and I don't know the hundred of other oilicers of impeccable character whom we could have secured. We can't run risks—we simply can't. That's why I- iias to be just you and Kellerman and I. We had our lesson in the old days, you know." He frowned at the remembrance, and then answered Mark's unspoken question with another. "Where are you staying, Wallace?" "At the Congressional." "Well, I want you to come and stay with us as soon as we're settled. We've rented a house in Massachusetts circle, and move in on the first of the month. Eleanor and Mrs. Howard are still In New York, but they're coming here in about ten days' time—just as soon as I can get the house ready for them. Eleanor is dying to see you. and Mrs. Howard has the pleasantest remembrances, of course. And now I'm going to take you to the Brigadier." The short interview with the head of the department confirmed Mark's Impressions as to the businesslike nature of the plans of the war office. Mark went home. He was resolved, although he had not told the Colonel, not to become his guest—at least not unless he found that he could take up his life again where he had dropped it, years before. ADd then—but what was the use of speculating? He went home to his hotel. He was surprised to find how easily he seemed to fit Into-his environment when he donned his long-neglected evening clothes and went down to the dining room of the Congressional. Almost the first face he saw was that of a man of his class; within a few minutes Mark Wallace was seated at the dinner table with a merry party of old friends and new acquaintances. And the years had slipped away from him. On the next morning, when he took up his duties, It was with the sense that he was no longer a stranger. Washington was ready to extend her welcome to him. At the Army club, to which he was posted by Colon*! Howard, he found himself, much to his surprise, often the center of a respectful audience, eager to hear of the work 'of the army in the forlorn OBtposta of the West.. He discovered, too, with surprise, that he was by no means as unknown as he had Imagined himself to he. Then there were invitations that had to be accepted, receptions and dinners; yet through it all Mark waited for the charmed day when the house in Massachusetts circle was to be opened, displaying the princess of his imagination, the little child of the hillside, the schoolgirl, grown into the image of his dreams. CHAPTER V. When at last he alighted at the door, and was shown into the reception room, he felt that he was almost trembling with eugerness. He looked uncertainly about him, at the group of young officers, the ladies, at Mrs. Howard, and then at the stylishly dressed young woman at her side. And, forgetting his manners, he approached her in stupefaction, ignoring his hostess for the moment. "Eleanor!" "Uncle Mark ! It's never you, Uncle Mark!" cried the girl. "Why, I should never, never have known you!" But would he have known her, had he not looked closely into the clear eyes to discern che face of the little waif beneath the beauty of the woman? He bad often and often imagined her, grown to womanhood, and dressed as he would have dressed her, but somehow she had always had the look and aspect of the child, blended with the schoolgirl. A sudden chill went through his heart at her self-mastery, the wellbred welcome that had in it little of real eagerness. And he realized that, though he had always looked on her as lost, at the bottom of his heart rn must have hoped to find her again. He stood, a graylng-halredf*uncomfortable, almost middle-aged man, trying to feel at home. He saw Kellerman looking at him across the room, as if there was some message in his eyes. "I hope I haven't changed so much as all that," said Mark, trying to smile. "No," she answered, looking at him with a searching, direct gaze. "Not really—only at first appearance. Why, Uncle Mark, your hair is turning gray. What have you been doing with yourself?" He felt that ihe unconscious shaft had gone well home. He only- answered vaguely. There was a little Informal dancing, and, as he felt befitted his age, he waltzed a few turns with Eleanor and sat back with Mrs. Howard, surveying the gay crowd, and recalling memories—about the most disheartening thing that he could have done. "What do you think of Eleanor?" asked Mrs. Howard. "You didn't expect to find the little schoolgirl grown up like this, did you?" "Nor she me—like this," answered Mark humbly. But the Colonel's wife missed the allusion. "She has been crazy to see you," Mrs. Howard continued. "She gave the Colonel no rest after he told us that he was trying to get you for the war office. I believe she had always had a sort of romantic recollection of you, and looked upon you as a sort of guardian, although, of course, It was a fortunate thing for her and us—and you, too—that Colonel Howard did succeed in Inducing you to let us take her. She has been everything to us." "Of course," said Mark mechanically. "It would have been a terrible life for her out In the desert," sighed Mrs. Howard, "I think that you were very wise. Captain Wallace. And what a dreadful burden and responsibility you you would hqve had!" This time Mark did not attempt to answer. "She has been a daughter to both of us," pursued his hostess. "And now I'm afraid—we're both afraid, Captain Wallace, that we cannot hope to have her for long. She was quite the rage In New York last season." Wallace followed the girl with his eyes. She had just been dancing with a young officer; it had been a twostep, and as the band of three pieces broke into the wildest and merriest part of the piece he saw her, with flushed face and laughing eyes, accept Kellennan'8 arm and surrender herself to the dance. Kellerman caught Mark's eyes across the room. He looked straight back with a meaning challenge which was unmistakable. Mark knew at that moment that bis antipathy to Kellerman had returned, although he was Inclined to believe the other was not aware It had ever existed Kellerman was a splendid figure, even in his civilian evening clothes. Fully six feet tall, with the cheat and limbs of an athlete, florid; with crisp block hair and a sense of the sion of power, he looked at least five years Mark's junior, though they had been born in the same year. "Handsome Kellerman" had been his sobriquet in Cuba. Mark remembered it across the lapse of years, and into bis mind there began to filter, too, stray stories about him. Mark did not judge him by these, btit by the intuition which sent a cold wave to ids heart as he saw him with Eleanor. It seemed to him that Kellernmn's look, as lie turned to the girl, was one of intentional conquest—in another man it might have been called infatuation; and the girl knew It and was happy in It. The bitterness of that moment was like a sword thrust. Had he come three thousand miles for this? But what had been his thoughts for Eleanor, his vague wishes as to her fu ture? He did not know. He had dreamed —dreamed of her, and never pictured her as she was. There w«s an informal, stand-up supper about eleven. Eleanor came to Mark and asked him to take her to the buffet. Mark was conscious of a coldness, or hurt resentment in the girl's manner, as If he had neglected her. He brought her a plate and sat beside her in an alcove. They were alone, measurably, for the first time that eve* ulng. "Uncle Mark, you are disappointing me." said Eleanor. "I know it, and I'm sorry for it," said Mark. "I suppose It's—because I am not a bit like what you expected me to be." "You are not the least bit like what I expected, or remembered, Captain Mark," she answered. In his jealousy he was conscious of the altered prefix. And, as Eleanoi looked at him with hurt In her eyes she broke off to smile at a young office; across the room, who returned an ar dent gaze across the rubicund shoul ders of a very homely, but most important dame whom he was helping to champagne. "Most of us experience disappointments in people whom we have ideal ized," said Mark lamely. "You mean—Oh, I'm sure I thank you, Captain Wallace," answered the girl acidly. "Shall we go back?" But Mark had a moment of insplra^ tion, "Before v*e go, Eleanor," he said, "don't you think we might get to understand each other a little? I suppose I have been rude—but, you see, 1 have been conscious of your disap pointment all the evening, and—" He stopped in bewilderment, for BV eanor was—laughing. "But I seem at least to have the faculty of amusing you," he continued "Dear Uncle Mark!" said Eleanor laughing with tears in her eyes. Sh* laid her hand on his shoulder. "Now I know you are my real Uncle Marlr after all," she said. "Why?" he asked, ii> astonishment "That's -just like you, Uncle Mark. It's you—it's the real 'you' I've always remembered." 'Ton seem to remember my character very well, Eleanor," said Mark, trying not to relent, and having an uncomfortable feeling that she was an adept at hoodwinking. "Well, you know, you paid me a fairly long visit at the Misses Harpers' school, Uncle Mark." "You were nothing but a schoolgirl then." INDIGESTION, GAS, UPSET STOMACH HURRY!

It is understood in authoritative quarters Allied governments will not reveal their armistice terms until Germany has replied to President Wilson's last note. Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Secretary Balfour, accompanied by naval and military officers, have gone to France. The German reichstag, by a great majority, has adopted a bill placing the military command under control of the civil government, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen. General surprise was caused in Berlin by the fact the daily report from German headquarters was not signed, as usual, with the name of General Ludendorff. Later the following official announcement was Issued: "The emperor, accepting request to be allowed to retire of Infantry General Ludendorff, first quartermaster general and commander in time of peace of the Twenty-fifth Infantry brigade, has placed him on the unattached list. The emperor decided at the game time the Lower Rhenish infantry regiment, Number 89, of which the general has long been chief, shall hear henceforth the name of Ludendorff." His resignation, it is believed In London, will still further shake the faith of the German people in their military machine. In the resignation of General Ludendorff Germany loses what often has been described her "military brain." Unknown before the war, General Erich Ludendorff sprang Into prominence in the fall of 1914 as chief of staff to Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, then a general, In operations against Russians. When Von Hindenburg was given chief command in August, 1916, Ludendorff was appointed first quartermaster general but his position in reality has been chief of staff and collaborator with Von Hindenburg.

Go to Bed and Stay Quiet — Take a Laxative — Eat Plenty of Nourishing Food—Keep Up your Strength — Nature Is the Only "Cure" ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR NO OCCASION FOR PANIC Spanish influenza, which appeared In Spain In May, has all the appearances of grip, or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C, which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century has had its attacks. Beginning with 1831 this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic?—influenza Itself has a very low percentage of fatalities—not over one death out of every 400 cases, according to the N. C. board of health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally patients in a run-down condition—those who don't go to bed goon enough or those who get up too early. THE SYMPTOMS Grip, or influenza, as it is now called, usually begins with a chill, followed by aching, feverishness, and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature Is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane or lining of the air passages, nose, throat and bronchial tubes; there Is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night; oftentimes a sore throat or tonsillitis, nnd frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading the disease to others—take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet nnd don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powders, etc., may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there Is no cure or specific for influenza—the disease must run its course. Nature herself will throw off the attack If only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing, and sometimes inflammation of the middle 1?ar, or heart affections. For these reasons It is very important that the patient remain In bed until his strength returns—stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 50 or not strong stay In bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack. EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grippe germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus ranking the breathing easier, Vick's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck, as the heat of the body liberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time VapoRub Is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids In relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID T H E DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this Is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or spitting. So avoid persons having colds—which means avoiding crowds—common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all, avoid colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and Inhale the vapors, or better still, use Vapo- Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this Is not available, use an ordinary teakettle. Fill half-full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle just slowly boiling and Inhale the steam arising. Note—Vick's VapoRub is the discovery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs, etc, so that when the salve Is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapors. VapoRub Is comparatively new in New York State and New England and a few Western states where it is Just now being introduced, but in other sections of the country It is the standard home remedy In more thnn a million homes for all forms of cold troubles. Over six million jars were sold last year. VapoRub can be had in three sizes at all druggists. It is particularly recommended for children's croup and colds, since it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as desired without the slightest harmful effects.

The Newberry millions have been known in exclusive circles for forty p a r s , yet Mr. Newberry's campaign managers claim it was necessary to spend $176,000 to introduce him to the people. Within fifteen years, Henry Ford by hit own ability is known to the entire world—Why? Because he believes that the welfare and happiness of all mankind is the most essential thing in the progress of a nation. Newberry's managers paid $176,000 for his nomination—Henry ford paid not one cent Fair wages—The right to live and be respected, is the Ford idea of life. Think—Which of the two types of men would you have to represent you in the U. S. Senate? John W, Bailey, candidate for Governor, rises from the ranks by his work.

Election, Tuesday November 5th. PUBLISHED BY^EMOCRATIC 8TATB CENTRAL COMMITTEE. * • ! _ _!• .'.Sf^lS^r ~J DON W. VAN WINKLE FOR Prosecuting Attorney DEMOCRATIC TICKET To the Voters of Livingston County: In the October I6th issue of this paper I published a statement showing t h a t Willis Lyons, the republican candidate, had held county office for 18 years a u d been paid $26,400.00 while in office. I estimated his income from t h e office of county clerk at $1600.00 per year. Mr. Lyons.now in a b a c k h a n d e d reply states that I might have published the exact figures had I desired. B u t he knows better t h a n that. T h e county clerk gets his pay in two ways. First, he gets a stated salary from t h e county. Second, he gets fees for the work he does in office. If you go in t o get a marriage license or a hunting license, the clerk gets a fee. He gets a fee for every civil case in the courts and there are many other things that he gets fees for. So t h e salary paid by the county and the fees paid in make up t h e income of the clerk. There is no record kept a n y - where of the amount of fees the clerk gets. Former clerks have stated the office was worth $1800.00 to 52000.00. Onlv one man knows exactly what the office was worth during the years from 1S98 to 1910. T h a t man is Willis Lyous and so far he hasn't told what the income fro m tbeoffice was. T h e amount t h a t he receive! a5 cleric t o g e t h e r with the amount he received as Prosecuting Attorney makes such a huge total t h a t he declines to put it in print. So instead of coming out squarely and s t a n d i n g on his record and fairly telling the people how many thousands* of dollars he has profited, he tells half the story and hopes it will be ta ken for all. He beats around the bush when he might have given facts. Facts show Mr. Lyons' service record to be 18 ye ars in office. F a c t s show he h a s received $26,000.00 in money, and this estimate is mighty low. His name has been on every county ballot for the last eleven elections. A period of nearly a quaiter of a century. I submit to the voters of Livingston County: T h a t 18 years isemoughfor one man. $26,000.00 enough for one man, T h e custom of passing it on a good one.

REPLY TO GERMAN NOTE The text of the president's reply to the German note follows: "The secretary of state makes public the following: "From the secretary of state to the charge d'affaires ad interim in charge of German interests in the United States: •'Department of State, October 23, 1918. "Sir: "1 have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your note of the 22nd transmitting a communication under date of the 20th, from the German government and to advise you that the president has instructed me to reply thereto as follows: "Having received the solemn and explicit assurance of the German government that it unreservedly accepts the terms of peace laid down in his address to the congress of the United States on the 8th of January, 1918, and the principles of settlement enunciated in his subsequent addresses, particularly the address of the 27th of September, and that it desires to discuss details of their application and that this wish and purpose emanated, not from those who have hitherto 'dictated German policy and conducted the present war on Germany's behalf but from ministers who speak for the majority of the relchstag and for an overwhelming majority of the German peoples and having received also , the explicit promise of the present German government that the humane rules of civilized warfare will be observed both on land and sea by the German armed forces, the president of the United States feels that he cannot decline to take up with the governments with which the United States is associated, the question of an armistice. "He deems it his duty to say again, however, that the only -armistice he would feel justified la submitting for consideration would be one which should leave the United Stages and the powers associated with her in a position to enforce aay arrangements that may be entered Into and to make a renewal of hostilities on the. part of Germany impossible, "The president has, therefore, transmitted his correspondence with the present German authorities to the governments with which tha government of thf^jtyrited tUtaa hi Vancouver, B. C—With 343 persons aboard, the Canadian Pacific liner Princess Sophia foundered in Alas kim waters, the Canadian Pacific Railway, the ship's owner, have just announced* Her 268 passengers are lost, said a wireless message from the U.

The crew of 75 men is also believ ed lost, the Cedar reporting "no survivors so far as known." The Government vessel reported finding of one woman's body and four up-turned, life boats on Lincoln Island but no Bign of life. The Princess Sophia struck the treacherous reef at 3 a. m.

"Should such terms of armistice be auggested, their acceptance by Germany will afford the best concrete evidence of her unequivocal acceptance of the terms and principles of peace from which the whole action proceeds. "The president would deem himself lacking in candor did he not point out in the frankest possible terms the reason why extraordinary safeguards must be demanded. Significant and important as the constitutional changes seem to be which are spoken officially by the German foreign secretary In-his note of the 20th of October, it does not appear that the principles of a government responsible to the German people ha* yet been fully worked out or that any guarantees either exist or are in contemplation that alterations of principle and of practice now partially agreed on will be permanent. "Moreover, it does not appear that the heart of the present difficulty has been reached. It may be that future wars have been brought under control of the German people, but the present war has not been; and it it with the present war thai we "are dealing. It is evident that the German people have no means of commanding acquiescence of military authorities of the empire in the popular will; that the power of the king of Prussia to control the policy of the empire is unimpaired; that the determining initiative still remains with those who hitherto have been masters of Germany. Feeling that the whole peace of the world depends now on plain speaking and straightforward action, the president deems it his duty to say, without any-attempt to soften what may seem harsh words, that the nations of the world do not and cannot trust the word of those who hitherto have been masters of German policy, and to point out once more that in concluding peace and attempting to undo the infinite injuries and injustices of this war tha government of the United States cannot deal with any bat veritable representatives of the German people who have been assured of a genuine constitutional standing as the real rulers of Germany. "If it must deal with the military masters and the monarchical autocrats of Germany now, or if it la likely to have to deal with them later In regard to international obligations of the German empire, it mutt [demand, not peaoe negotiations, but surrender, Nothing can be gained by leaving this essential thing unsaid.

"Well," continued the old Oak, whom we will call Mother Oak, for she was just like a mother to the little Oaks, "we belong to the White Oak family, and we also belong to the great and mighty Oak family." Now Mother Oak really could be called a mother oak, for she had given the little Oaks shade on the very hot days before they had grown enough to be able to stand the heat themselves. "What do you mean, Mother Oak, when you say we belong to the White Oak family and also to the great and mighty Oak family. Aren't the White Oaks great and mighty?" "To be sure," said Mother Oak, "but I meant the great family of Oaks is so enormous. We are just a part of it. "Suppose," continued Mother Oak, "everyone had the same name; wouldn't it be confusing? But trees, ull of which are alike, should have the same name because that makes U easier for those who want to find out about them. "Now we belong to the White Oak family. Suppose each of us had ti different name; how hard it would be for those who wanted to know the different kinds of Oaks. Suppose yon were Susy Tree," she said, waving a branch at one near-by young Oak, and suppose the tree next to you was called Sammy Tree; it would be extremely hard for people." "It would," agreed the little Oaks; "it most certainly would be very, very difficult." ' "So we are all called the White Oaks and that is what I meant when I said we belonged to the White Oak family. We are very much alike. We have sturdy, strong trunks and orins, lit She Had Given the Little Oaks Shade. and we have such good roots that we can stand storms.

Has held the office of TownBhip Clerk and now serving his second term as Supervisor of the Township of Ham burgs He is 42 years of age and was born and raised on a farm in the Township of Genoa. He obtained bis education in the district school and the Brighton high school. He is a good penman and well qualified for the position. He was a candidate for this office two years ago but as his opponent was running for a second term he made no special effort to be elected. This time Mr. Dammann is running the second time for the office against the same opponent who is aeeV.ing a third term. It will be remembered that when the Republican candidate made a/ Former campaign, against a Democrat, he Used the third term argument na iK. jssue, believing at that time thai the oflice, after two turm-\ rhuuld be phased along. Mr. Dammann comes from a township that has not been represented with a County office for many years and he says that if he is elected that at 1 lie end of two terms he will quit and allow the office to go some other young man, believing that the ofliie.? should be passed around to encourage roung men who are fitted for the position. Adv. For Sheriff TO THE VOTERS OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY: Having been born in this county and having lived here all my life, the people of Livingston coun ty are well acquainted with me and I with them. In the past, I have served them in various official capacities and have always found that the public is a considerate master if it believes that the official is sincere and honest and his acts are characterized by a desire to serve tne public, not self or selfish interests. In presenting myself as a candidate for Representee in the Legislature, I frankly confess that I desire to be elected not alone for the honor of the position nor for the emoluments of office but because I believe I can be of service to the people of the county and state. The election of United States Senator by direct vote of the people has shorn the position of representative of much of its political significance. I had hoped to discuss with you in a public way the questions of taxation, social relations ana other economic questions but owing to the condition of public health such meetings cannot be held. If you believe me honest and capable, energetic and faithful, I solicit your suffrage. Respectfully yours, Arthur E. Cole. Adv.

' leading Republicans in the state are now following the advise of Lieutenant Governor Dickinson believing that it is better for the party to defeat Newberry then to bring Michigan into the i disgrace of a contest in Washington. Henry Ford was the choice of Michigan Republicans for President in 1916, winning over William Alden Smith. The London and Paris papers say that he has done more than any individual in the world tohelp win the war. The Ford interests gave $15,000,000 for Liberty Loan at one time. His success has built up Detroit and Michigan. Every farmer and business man has been benefited to some extent by the Ford prosperity. As Attorney General Croeabook said: 'The people know nil heart is right." Ex-Govenor Warner refused to eotett for Senator with Ford beleiving that he hat dene to much for the state. That,! the reason that the people, regardless of party, are sapporting Henry Ford. His interest lies with that of the farmer, the laborer and small business turn and will be able to see that they get a square deal in the re-1 construction after the war. A dwtwement.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Nov. 7, 1918 No. 45 WHEN PEACE NEWS REACHED PINCKNEY Re-action from bong S u s p e n s e Brought Great Joy Patriotic Feminine War 'Workers Parade Streets. LETTER FROM PERCY MORTENSON Reported Killed In Action L a s t A u g u s t Bfe- *. Last Thursday t h e ' f a k e peace news reached Pinckney about noon. In a «*ery Bhort time the bells began to ring and everyone propared f o r a general thanksgiving. All the afternoon the bells in the churches and the town hall were kept •busy until the latter, not accustomed to such steady work, decided to rebel. The violent efforts to persuade the bell -to continue in the jollification noise resulted in said bell becoming cracked. This catastrophe;, however, did not dampen the ardor of the energetic noise producers. Guns, pistols and every available firearm was requisitioned and the noise continued. After dark a huge pile of inflammable material was collected, the Kaiser appearing on the scene about this time was elevated* in the air and a torch started the fire which pat him out of the way of domg any more mischief, i Riddled with bullets and ' burning in the darkness the effigy of the man who has caused more suffering and agony . than any other human being has done in the world's nistory was thus consumed to the intense delight of PincKney's population. Monday morning before daylight the church and school bells pealed forth the genuine peace news. ' This time, however, many, on account of having been disappointed by the fake news, were not in a hurry to accept the glad tidings. To add to their indecision the morning papers failed to reach town and the day passed somewhat more quietly. In the evening, however, the boys awoke to the necessities of ^the great day. A bonfire was started on the eqare and the jollification soon assumed good dimensions. The ladies of village, thinking perhaps the men were assuming a monopoly on tne celebraiion stunts decided to have 4 cute little celebration of their own. Hastily gathering recruits together and assembling a various assortment of m u s i c a l ? ) instruments of which men- % tion/may be made of the proverbial tin , caff and ear -splitting contrivances of which an old batter i and discarded . metallic wash tub—drawn by willing hands over the stone sidewalk and battered on the sides by willing t and indefatigable hands—easily won first honors and dragged by the ladies a t the bead of a long procession of delighted maids and matrons who patrolled the streets of town for hours until exhaustion compelled them to desist. If there is any spot in the wide, wide A # world where the people enjoyed the " * peace news more than our folks did we would like to hear from that plaee at -once. • France, Sept. 18, 1918. Dear friend Art and all: J u s t a few lineB to let you know that I received your letter just a few hours ago. I am sorry that you heard I was dead for there are enough without any false reports. I told the boys about it and they thought it a great joke. They went around behind me to see if there was anything holding me up. Leaving ail jokes aside, I am well and getting along fine. I hope this finds you folks the same. I am still working at the same job. I told you about it in one of my letters sent last month. You might not have received it so will tell you again. I am working on gun repair. We have a nice little shop and I like it here. I am sorry to hear that Alger Hall is sick over here. Received a letter from Clair Reason a few days ago. He is getting along fine so far. I have not seen any of the fellows from home since I have been here but know where some of them are. Well, I will finish this letter. Went out to work on motors for a few hours tonight. *How are all my friends j getting along in Pinckney? Hope they are 0.

The afflicted and starving people of Europe need immediate and continual assistance in food and clothing.

This announcement was made by the state department early Monday morning. The announcement was made verbally by an official of the Bt&te department. The terms of the armistice, it was announced, will not be made public until later. Military men here, however, regard it as certain that they include : Immediate retirement of the German military forces from France, Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine. Disarming and demobilization of the German armies. Occupation by the Allied and American forces of such strategic points in Germany as will make impossible a renewal of hostilities. Delivery of part of the German high seas fleet and a certain number of submarines to the Allied and American naval forces. Disarmament of all other German warships under supervision of the Allied and American navies which will guard them. Occupation of the principal German naval bases by sea force* of the victorious nations. Release of Allied and American solfliers, sailors and civilians held prisoners in Germany without such reciprocal action by the associated government*. Three of the four kingdoms within the once German empire have fallen. King Wilhelm II. of Wuerttenburg has abdicated and a republic has been proclaimed. King Leopold of Bavaria's abdication was announced two days ago. Wilhelm, king of Prussia (former emperor of Germany), also abdicated. The situation in 8axony is obscure.

London—The former German emperor's party, which is believed to include Field Marshal von Hindenburg, has arrived at Eysden, on the Dutch frontier, according to Daily Mail advices. Practically the whole German general staff accompanied the former emperor, and ten automobiles carried the party. The automobiles were bristling with rifles and all the fugitives were armed. The ex-kaiser was in uniform. He alighted at the Eysden station and paced the platform, smoking a cigarette. Eysden is about midway between Liege and Maastricht, on the Dutch border. Chatting with members of staff, the former emperor, the correspondent say8, did not look in the least distressed. A few minutes later an imperial train, including restaurant and sleeping cars, ran into the station. Only servants were aboard. The engine returned to Vize, Belgium, and brought back a second train, in which were a large number of staff officers and others and also stores of food. The German consul from Maastricht also arrived. Dutch railway officials soon made their appearance and many of the inhabitants came to the station attracted by curiosity. Many photographs were taken by the people of the party. On the whole the people were very quiet, but Belgians among them yelled out, "En voyage!" A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Copenhagen quotes the Politiken a s saying that when the former German emperor arrived at Maastricht he was accompanied by the former empress. Washington.—The German people, for a generation obedient and subm i s s i v e servants of their war lord, for more than four years his pliant instruments in ravaging the world, have spoken a new word, and the old Germany is gone. From* the confused, sometimes conflicting and often delayed advices from Germany in the last two days it 1ft a become apparent William, emperor and king, has been stripped of his power. He is now plain William Hohenzoliern, a fugitive in Holland. With his fall topples into ruin William's mad design to rule the world. Little is knqwn of the situation in Germany, for that country is in the first days of its new adventure. It is not clear whether the old regime has been permanently dislodged or whether the new authorities, with unscrupulous adroitness which has long marked German politics, are merely secriflcing the chief figureheads of Kalserism in the hope of obtaining an easier peace. It appears probable no one in Germany knows, and that li is still to be determined which of the contending elements will gain tho upper band. Revolution is spreading rapidly, and from the fact a Socialist is chancellor, it may be gathered the object of the revolution is not merely quick ending of the war but complete severance of the political tieB which stiil bind the nation with its past. For the Allies the problem has changed.'The countries which fought Germany and her vassals for more than four years have emerged from it completely triumphant, but within the borders of the countries which menaced the peace of t h e whole world stalks revolt, famine a n J anarchy. The world's next task may be to restore order in the desolated Central Empires. It may be the lot ot the forces who have successfully contested Germany's greed for power to save her from the fate she imposed on Russia. Likewise, help will have tb be given to Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, whose ruin Germany wrought. >-\ ; * - . • '".' * Wr*.

The garrison has gone over to the government. The workmen's and soldiers' council has declared a general strike. Troops and machine grins have been placed a t disposal of t h e council. Guards which had been stationed a t public offices and other buildings have been withdrawn. Friederich Ebert .-(vice-president of the Social Democratic party), is c a r rylng on the chancellorship. The text of the statement by the people's government reads: "In the course of a short time for mation of a new German people's government was initiated, The greater part of the Berlin garrison and other troops stationed there temporarily went over to the new government. •«* "Leaders of deputations of the Social- Democratic party declared that they would not shoot against the people They said they would, in accord with the people's government, intercede in favor of order, Thereupon in offices and public buildings guards which had been stationed Caere were withdrawn. "Business of the imperial chancellor is being carried on by the Social' Democratic deputy, fterr Short "It i s presumed {hat apart from representatives of the nmJorUy group three independent 8«nal-Democret* will enter the future Copenhagen—Berlin is in the hands of the German resolutionaries. The revolt sweeps on throughout the empire. From the crown prince's palace, the city hall, the postoffice, and all other public buildings in the capital, flies the red flag. Seizure of Berlin was not, however, without terrific street battles, though the new government, in an official statement sent broadcast, attempts to minimize the bloodshed. Dispatches as to the situation as It now stands are conflicting, some indicating that comparative order h a s been restored, while others tell of continued violent fratricidal fighting. Hearing of the wild disorders m Hamburg, some Socialists leaders hurried to that port from Berlin by aeroplane. The Prussian war minister, General von Schenck, appears to retain his office. His orders, however, must be countersigned by Ebert. The whole Rhine provfnce is controlled by the rebels. One dispatch anticipates "a long list of notable German suicides." The general tendency of the news is that the bulk of the military, inchiding the majority of officers, joined (he revolt as soon as they saw the people were in dead earnest. This, for tho present, has averted a colossal civil war, which may, however, flare up a* soon as the armistice is signed and 4,000,000 soldiers, beaten and embittered, pour back into the strifetorn fatherland. Formation of a socialistic -government is in progress. Only three nonsocialist ministers are slated to participate. Among them will be Dr. Mathias Erzberger, Centrist leader, and head of the armistice commission. There will be three independent socialises in the ministry. Dr. Ebert, in his appeal for maintenance of order, announced that Prince Maxmfllian of Baden had relinquished the chancellorship. There is a degree of obscurity as to the exact present status of the Baden prince. It is possible that he will act as regent pending convocation of a national con* stifuent assembly. Bad Time for. Princes. More likely, however, is his complete elimination from the government this being a precarious time for princes, even sueh as have long fought In the forefront of the democratization movement. The prince, who played such an important part in bringing about the upheaval, is believed to continue in the councils of the new regime, but more behind than upon the scenes. Dr, Friedrich Ebert, Socialist deputy, Is acting chancellor, He, together with all other leaders, excepting a few radicals, is bending might and main to restore order and avert farther bloodshed. Steps are under way for election of a constituent assembly to decide the future form of government If the Socialists have their way Germany will become a federated republic. Kings, grand! dukes and dukes are abdicating or swept away. " I m u s t " said the forget-me-not turning Its blnsj eyes upon the, Johnny-jump-up.

"We have lived here a long time, too, bat I don't remember just how long. I never get tired of this garden, though, do you? Folks admire me when they come and look around the garden and the people who live in the big house near the garden always say: 'Aren't they cunning?' And they mean myself and my family. "I never get tired of being here, either," said the forget-me-not. "I am a June flower, but I stay on even in September though now it really is time for me to go to bed. You know I believe In the old saying which goes something like t h i s : • " 'Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.' " The Johnny-jump-up looked greatly astonished. "Aly dear forget-me-not what a curious saying for you to like. In the first place you are not a man, and you can't be healthy, wealthy or wise as a man can." "But I can be healthy, wealthy and wise as a forget-me-not.

That would be wealth for me and for them —by them I mean the people of course. I have to be picked with scissors or very carefully so my roots aren't torn up. But my idea of wealth is to be able to give loads and loads of flowers to people and still keep on blooming. "Then as far as wisdom is concerned— it is wise for me to grow in this garden for I am loved and"appreciated here." "But," persisted the johnny-Jump-up, "you also spoke backwards. You said early to bed and early to rise. Now you rise first and go t o bed, afterwards. You woke up in the spring, You're going to bed now."

Sywopdft.—Lieut Mark Wallace, U. S. A^ is wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone Is the Jungle he comes across a dead man in a hut outside of which a little girl Is playing. When he is rescued he takes the giri to the hospital and announces his intention of adopting her. His commanding officer. Major Howard, tells him that the dead man. was Hampton, a traitor, who sold department secrets to an international gang In Washington and was detected by himself and Kelterman, an officer in the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall never know tier father's shame. Several years- later Wallace visits Eleanor at a young ladies' boarding school. She gives him a pleasant shock by declaring that when she is eighteen she intends to marry him. More years pass and Wallace remains In the West At the' outbreak of the European war Colonel Howard calls Wallace to a staff post in Washington. He finds Eleanor there, also Kellerman. in whom he discerns an antagonist For years a strange man has haunted Eleanor's footsteps, following but never accosting her. One night Wallace sees the man and follows him to a gambling house kept by a Mrs. Kenson. Here the strange man is attacked by Kellerman. Wallace rescues him and takes him to his own apartment In the night the man, who gave his name as Hartley, disappears. CHAPTER VI t. On the way to the war department the foHiMrfog morning he was puzzling over tbo affair, Kellerman's presence In Mrs. Reason's house, and Kellerman's possible connection wkh Hartley, who watched Eleanor. He could not arrive at any but the most fanUstlc solutions. Kellemwn welcomed him with his usual suvfty. They carried up the papers v£ro><i the safe; then Kellerman called Mark Into his own office. "About last night, Wallace—" he began. "Of course you acted all right, as you understood the situation, but there was a good deal that you did not understand. That man you took borne to your rooms is a sort of international stool pigeon, if I can coin the phrase. Quite despicable—the one-time gentleman who has lost his honor; and dangerous, because he knows things, that nobody would credit htm with knowing. I suppose you wonder what I was doing in Mrs. Kenso&'s place?" "Not at all, Major Kellerman.** "My dear Wallace," said Kellerman, laying a hand on Mark's shoulder, MI want to give you a piece of advice. This is quite apart from our work here. I dost think your qualities are adapted to headquarters work. Qo back to^rour battalion—or, rather, take, advantage of your friends In Washington to secure a good post"—he emphasised the- adjective— *in regimental work.*5 And as Mark looked at him in stupefaction, Kellerman added coolljt: "I am not speaking officially, my dear Wallace. Take the suggestion as a friendly one. If I can make it a little dearer to you, your presence in Washington is inconvenient to me for personal reasons, t thlnk-yeu will appreciate the reasons—the reason, rather.** The man's insolence was maddening. Mark's impulse was to dash his flats into bis face. But discipline told. Mark saluted stiffly and went away. He sat down at his desk, fuming. Of «ourse Kellerman had referred to Eleanor; aad H suddenly occurred to Hark that Kellermaa might have made * good deal of headway during s i s absence, Mark and Colonel Howard occupied m amafl room at the end oi the corridor; the clerks* room was without; between the two, accessible from each, wis KeUerman'i office, which oommnnieated, in t u n , witlkthe Brigadier's, Colonel Howard came in after a white, and they went over their plans together. They were engaged on ft complicated piece of work, involving tonnage and computations Of cubic teet of sps;c«. for cargoes.

Mark worked steadily. The-omission was found, the computations were balancing. A clerk knocked at the door. "What is It?" asked Mark impatiently. "A man to see you, sir. He says his name's Hartley. Shall I show him In?" "Good Lord, no! I'll see him in the waiting room," answered Mark. He locked the office door, went through the clerks' room and into the anteroom. Hartley was standing beside the window. He looked up sheepishly as Mark entered. "Well?" asked Mark crisply. Hartley grinned. "I didn't take the cups or the picture, Captain Wallace," he said. "Well, what about !t* What can I do for you?" "Why, I—I wanted to tell you as much, Captain Wallace. Tve sunk low, but not to theft. Only I didn't feel 1 could stay." "Good Lord, man, Is that all you have come to tell me?" "Well, you see—there was something else, but—" stammered Hartley. "Out with it, then!" "I wanted to thank you for what you did for me, and—" The man seemed to be trying to spin out the Interview for some indefinite purpose. Mark turned on his heel. His temper was aot of the best Just then, and Hartley was the last man in the world whom he wanted to see. *'A11 right," he answered. M8teer clear of that woman—of Mrs. Kenson, Hartley. It's evident that she doesn't reciprocate your feelings, or whatever they are, and she seems to have some dangerous friends about her." He relented suddenly, and, gofng forward, clapped the man on the shoulder. **I guess you've had your troubles, Hartley," he said. "But pull yourself together, man." -""* The sheepish, unmanly mask dropped from Hartley's face. He caught Mark's hand impulsively. *Tm a cur, Captain Wallace!** he criod. «1—I—- "That's all right, JHartley. But, by the way, who told you my namef^ "Captain Wallace, don't ask me that! Go back! Never mind me! Qo back into your office at oncer cried Hartley. - He broke past Mark with a sudden, spasmodic movement, gained the door, and ran down the corridor. Mark looked after him in stupefaction. Hartley nad not been drunk, and his presence there had seemed purposeless. Suddenly, with an intuition of danger, he hurried through the clerks' office, unlocked his door, and entered. The room was filled with a furious gust of wind. The mobilisation papers were whirling on his desk in front of f that crooked gang, and that story— tbeopen window. The circular fan, wWch had been distributing « gentle, breast Imper* ttalty from slde>to side, now poured its current nf air isaiediaterjp upon Ma*1* dealt #* * a t e laorssoeot had been stopped, and fc had been set toniaxnwu ^ • * 4«HBd* fsat-not Hit tBBtit fan tajMrttr si Hat 1% the little Hartley, be had sees Kellerman at work through the glass door that connected their two offices. Now Kellerman's desk was vacant Mark stemmed down the window; there were two locks, and Mark and Kellerman had each a key. Nobody could have entered. But Mark was positive that Kellerman had set the fan. It stood on a shelf against the partition. Looking up, Mark saw that there was a tiny hole immediately behind it large enough to permit an inserted wire to push back the lever that controlled the rotary apparatus. Yet this might have been nothing but a wormholft in the wood framework of the door. With a gasp of rage Mark hastily stopped the fan and ran back to his desk. He began collecting the papers. They had blown hither and thither; some had fallen behind the desk, some on the radiator. The floor was littered with them. Had any gone out of the window? There should have been two hundred and nine. There was nothing to do but count them. Mark began, but his fingers trembled so that; he could hardly turn the pages. In the very middle of tbi* task the door clicked; the Brigadier and Colonel Howard entered. "Well, Wallace, finished, I hope?" asked the Brigadier with the cordiality of one who has been refreshed by a good dinner. "Let me see!" Mark turned the leaves nervelessly, while the Brigadier and Howard stood silently beside him. He reached the end. He had counted exactly two hundred. That might fcave been an error. But the paper was not there. He looked up to see the Brigadier peering into his face with an extraordinary expression. He heard himself stammering, fumbling for words; he stopped. Colonel Hownrd sprang forward and caught him by the shoulder. "Wallace, my dear fellow, pull yourself together!" he was pleading. "What's that you're saying? Blown out of the window? It's the heat, sir. He's been overdoing it!" "Very possibly," said the Brigadier caustically. "Pray have a look, then, Howard. Take your time." Mark was searching again. He stopped as they came to the last paper, which was now the two hundred and third. "It's no use. Colonel Hownrd," he cried. "It has gone out of the window. I was called out When I came back the fan was tHrned on my desk and the papers were blowing about the room. Somebody—perhaps the mechani*m slipped. I don't know. I'm tired—my God, how tired I am!" The Colonel was pushing him into a chair. He heard the storming voice of the Brigadier a long distance away. Howard was expostulating. They were going through the papers again. A clerk had been called in. Mark heard something about searching the streets. Somebody was telephoning. And, above all, he was conscious of Kellerman in the next room, long before he opened the glass door and entered. He was alone, and struggling back into the realization of his situation. Kellerman's threat and his refusal to consider it, the visit of Hartley, began to link themselves into the chain of the devilish conspiracy. He rose unsteadily to his feet wiping the sweat from his forehead. Colonel Howard was coming through the open doorway from Kellerman's room. "Sit down, Wallace," he said gravely. "I've been talking to the Brigadier, or, rather, he has been talking to me. You must consider yourself under arrest In your quarters. Now, how did this damned thing happen?" Mark explained as tamely as one who had heard excuses of all kinds from soldiers brought before him for various offenses during his term of service, and waved them aside, **You know what this means, Wallace?** asked the Colonel In a kindly, serious tone. "New plans." •Tea, but to you?" *I guess so, Colonel Howard. And r<f like to hurry It through. Of course I khall want it over. 1*11 go home now, and—H "Stop!" Colonel Howard's challenge had a triumphal ring to it. He placed his bands on Mark's shoulders and swung him round, looking straight into his eyes, "Thank God for that Mark!" he cried. "I fought the Brigadier over you, and Ptl fight him to the end of time. I told him it was a damned 41e.

She was -coming out of a store, and going, evidently, toward the cab which was waiting against the street curb. They almost ran Into each other. Mark lifted his hat-mechanically, nnd thought she was about to pass, but suddenly she took him by the arm, and looked at him earnestly, extreme concern upon her face. "What's the matter, Uncle Mark?" she ashed* "You're ill—you're looking frightfully ill." "Well, it's a pretty hot day," said Matk. "Yes, but you can stand heat, Uncle Mark. You don't look fit to be around. How long have you been ill, and hove you been working all the time, and why didn't you send for me?" "I'm not ill, Eleanor," said Mark, trying to smile. "Then why haven't you been to see us? Have you forgotten our talk that night? What's the reason? Tell me!" "Your father keeps our noses to the grindstone, Eleanor." "That isn't true, and please don't play with me as if I were a child, Captain Wallace. Come, get Into this cab at once! 1 am going to take you home and have Mrs. Howard look after you at once. Oh, you are laughing!" It was rather a grim Jest to Mark, but It occurred to him that It would help to alienate Eleanor. She drew away from him and looked at him with those keen, scrutinizing eyes that had in some measure discomfited him at the Misses Harpers' school. "Uncle Mark," she pleaded, "do tell me why you are acting so horribly when I am only thinking of you. It's Just the way you acted thnt other night until we got to understand each other. And tell me why you haven't come to us." "Well, Eleanor, the truth is," «ald Mark, "the work at the onlce has Just about taken it all out of me. And then, In my position, of course there are visits that I must pay." "Of course," said Eleanor ironically. "Go on, Uncle Mark. I shall see through you presently." "But I have been meaning to visit you soon. Only, you know, I am not In any sense your guardian now, and so, Eleanor, If you want me to be frank, it Is a little unreasonable of you to put forward my duties in that respect when I have no compensations." She started. "You mean that you didn't want to come?" she asked. "I did want to. But I have so many duties—" "Thank you. That's quite enough, Captain Wallace. My conduct In in trading on such a busy man has been quite inexcusable. Good day, Captain Wallace!" She made a mocking little bow and went toward her cab. She stopped and looked back. The brief anger was ended. Bat Mark was already free from that Intolerable Interview and stumbling homeward. He let himself In, wrote out his resignation, and mailed i t As he paced his room, pondering over the situation, it seemed to him that the key to the mystery lay with Hartley. Even yet he had not allowed himself to believe Kellerman a traitor. But it was essential that he should find Hartley, and insist upon a confession, both of his motives In watching the Colonel's house, and of those that had brought him to the war department. Suddenly the telephone Interrupted his meditations. A woman's voice st the other end was asking for him. "Are you quite sure yon are Captain Mark Wallace?" It inquired, when he had stated his identity. . "I am as sure as I have ever been," answered Mark. WaMaoe receives a strange offer, whioh he Indignantly rejects, and thei»—daHtness.

New York, Nov. 5 . - T h e War Council ot the Young Women's Christian Association makes public today the following from Lieutenant Coningsby Dawson, of the Canadian Field Artillery, written on the battle field in Northern France: A Message to the American People. "We at the front are doing our best—we are willing to give our all. We want to save nothing for ourselves, if only by giving we can bring peace to the world. "You at home cannot fight with our lives. You CAN light with your mercy. The Y. W. C. A is offering you just this chance. They garrison the women's support trenches which lie behind the men's. They ask you to supply them with the munitions of mercy that they may pass th i.i on to us. We need them badly. Glvb generously that we may the sooner defeat the Hun." Coningsby Dawson, Lieut.

"Only those of us who have been in France, and Been the terrible cost of her great sacrifice, can realize what a stupendous problem in reconstruction and rehabilitation is facing her.

PLEASE VICKS VAPORUB OVERSOLD DUE TO PRESENT EPIDEMIC Tremendous Demand Lati Few Day* Has Wiped Out Excess Stocks That We, Had Estimated Would Last Until Next January, Last Week's Orders Called For One and Three Quarter Million Jars—Today's Orders Alone Amount to 932,459 Jars. quantities as possible. * If you are out we will try to ship a limited amount by Parcel Post or express, and pay the charges ourselves, 3rd—In order to make distribution Big Shipments, Are En Route to Jobbers. Unto These Arrive There May Be a Temporary Shortage. All Deals Postponed —Buy in Small Lots Only. RETAILERS CAN GET IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS DIRECT BY PARCEL POST. This advertisement is written on Monday, October 21 st. It is directed to the attention of nil distributers of Vlck's VapoRub, both wholesale and retail. In an emergency such as. the present epiden«ic—-our duty—and your duty—is to distribute VapoRub In the quickest possible manner to those* sections stricken by Influensa. We. therefore, call your careful attention to the following: DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUPPLY 13 NOT CONSERVED On Ociuber 1st we bad on hand, nt our Factory and in twenty warehouses scattered over the country, sufficient VapoRub to last us, we thought, until January 1st, allowing for a 50 per cent Increase over last year's-sales, and not counting our daily output. This big excess stock had been accumulated during the summer months. Then this epidemic of Spanish Influenza hit us—and in the last fen days this stock has vanished. At first we thought this tremendous demand would last only a few days, but the orders have run: Wed., Oct. 1« 18,504 dot. Thur., Oct. 17 25.323 doz. Fri., Oct., 18 39.250 doz. Sat., Oct. 19 45,833 doa. Mon., Oct. 21- 77,705 doz. Up to Saturday. October 19th, we have actually shipped for this month $400,284.10. or over two million Jars of VapoRub. THE PROBLEM NOW 18 TO DISTRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY. Most of this tremendous quantity Is still en route to the Jobbers, but freight and express are both congested nowadays, and it may be some time before this supply reaches the Jobbers. In the meantime,^ therefore, It Is necessary that we distribute, as widely as possible, the stock that we are manufacturing dally, together with that now on the jobbers' and retailers' shelves, in order that It may get to the Influenza districts quickly, Our normal output Is about 4,000 dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but it will be a little while before that is producing. WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE DRUGGIST TO DO. Last -Saturday we notified all of our Jobbers, by Special Delivery, as follows: 1st—Deals and- quantity shipments of all kinds are cancelled. Fill no quantity orders of any kind, whether taken by our salesman or by your own. Sell tn small lots only. 2nd—Order from ng la as small THE VICK CHEMICAL COMPANY, still quicker, we wtll ship direct to your retail customers quantities not more than three (3) dozen 80c size at any one shipment. 4th-^-We are now out of the 00c sise and will be for the next ten days. WHAT WE ASK, THE RETAIL DRUGGIST TO DO. Buy In as small quantities as possible. If you have any qunntlty orders, given the- Jobber's salesmen or given to our salesmen, don't bother about them—no heed to write us—It Is absov lutely impossible to fill these orders at this time. If the jobbers in your territory are out of Vlck's VapoRub, we will ship you by Parcel Post, prepaid, quantities not more than three (3) dozen 80c size in any one order. Naturally, we can't open accounts at this time, so your check or money order for this amount must accompany order. Don't write us stating to ship thru your Jobber, as we then have to wait until we write this jobber and get his O. K. If you wish the goods to come thru your Jobber, have Mm order them for you. SNOWED UNDER WITH CORRE- 8PONDENCE. Our force has already been "shot to pieces'*—twenty-four of our men are wearing Uncle Sam's khaki—and this recent rush has simply buried us. ATI our sales force has been called In to help In the office and factory. We Just mention this so you won't hold It against us If your wires and letters aren't answered promptly. SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH INFLUENZA. We will send, on request, to any retall druggist, 100 or raorev little booklets, just issued, on Spanish Influenza, giving the latest Information about this disease—its history—fhe symptoms— the treatment and particularly theTise of Vlck's VapoRub as an external application to supplement the physician's treatment. NEW WAYS TO U8E VAPORUB. In addition to the usual method of using VapoRub—that Is, applied over the throat and chest and covered with hot flannel cloths—our customers are writing us dally telling of their success In using VapoRub in other ways, particularly as a preventive. They melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or melt It In a benzoin steam kettle. Where the steam kettle is not available, VapoRub can be used in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the teakettle naif full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the" kettle Just slowly boiling and Inhale the steam arising. According to a Bulletin Just Issued by the Public Health Service, Dr. Stiles recommends that the nose and throat be kept coated with some oily substance. For this purpose VapoRub is excellent—Just put. a little up the nostrils' from lime to time and snuff well back into the air passages. GREENSBORO. N. C No Bar There.

LESSON I8y REV. P. B.. FITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible In the Mood/ Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright. 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 10 JACOB DECEIVES HIS FATHER. LESSON TEXT-GenesU 27:18-28. GOLDEN TEXT—Speak every man truth with his neighbor.—Bpheaians 4:». DEVOTIONAL. RJSADlNG-EpheaiaiU 4;2&-32. ADDITIONAL MATERIALr-Genesls 27: 1*45: Proverbs 12:17-20; Zech&rl&h 8:16-17; Acta 6:1-11. I. I sale's Purpose Regarding tho Birthright (27:1-4). The inflrmity of old age reminded Isaac that he should set his house in order. The particular matter needing attention was the determination as to who should be the head of the house when he was gone. As to whether Isnaa knew what God had told Rebekah concerning Jacob's priority we are not told (Gen. 25:23), but it is evident that he lacked spiritual discernment, being under the sway of his appetite. Even though he was ignorant of God's plan as revealed to Hebekah, Esau's action' in marrying heathen women (Gen. 26; 34, 35), ought to have convinced Isaac that Esau was unfit to be the head of the house which was in line of the covenant blessjng. li. Rebekah's Scheme to Frustrate Isaac's Plan (vv. 5-17). Having heard Isaac's- instructions to tsau, she took steps to divert the father's blessing from Esau to Jacob. She knew it was God's will that Jacob should have the birthright, but had no scruples as to what method should be used in its accomplishment. 1. Rpbeknh's instructions to Jacob (w. 5-10). She sent Jacob to bring two kids from the goats, promising that she would make savory meat, such as Isaac loved. She knew that Isaac's weak spot was his stomach. 2. Jacob's hesitancy (vv. 11-17). He foresaw the difficulty and danger which confronted him. His hesitancy was not bevuuse he had conscientious scruples ngaiust doing the deed, but was afraid of being found out. Some have a desire to do evil, but refrain from it because they are afraid of being caught. Rebekah undertakes to bear the curse that may come, so Jacob's scruples are set aside. She clothes him with Esau's raiment, and places Into his hands the food. III. Jacob Deceives Esau (vv, 18-29). 1. Jnterview between Isaac and Jacob (vv. 18-25). The quickness with which the savory meat was brought, aroused suspicion in the mind of Isaac. In der to allay that suspicion Jacob deliberately lied. He not only lied, but blaspheme 1 the name of God In declaring that his success was due to the help of Jehovah. This lie is again repeated when Isaac questions him further. One He calls for another. Having started on the road of deception he was obliged to lie in order to cover up his deceit. 2. The paternal blessing (vv. 28-29). It embodied the following particulars: (1) A fertile soil and abundant products (v. 28). Man is dependent upon God for the fruitage of the soil. Few stop to consider their obligation to him for temporal blessings. (2) National pre-emitfence (v. 29). God was to give him a numerous and powerful offspring. This has in a large measure been fulfilled,' but in a still larger measure It remains to be fulfilled. (3) Pre-eminence among his kindred (v. 29). "The elder shall serve the younger/ (4) The object of God's especial care (v. 29). Being God's choice, God obligates himself to care for him. Those who would misuse Jacob would suffer; those who would favor Jacob would be favored. Those who are chosen of God enjoy his special care, and woe be to him who would dare to molest them. This Included temporal and spiritual blessing*. Happy la he who enjoys the friendship of God. IV. eUau*a Remorse (w. 30-38). Scarcely had Isaac ceased blessing Jacob till Esau came for the blessiag. Hie seiret was now out Lying and deceit cannot long be hid. In the face of what bad been done, Isaac snakas with fear. No doubt-this is due to the manifest presence of Jehevah. Esau gives forth a terrible wsJL While shedding bitter tears of disappointment, he rages with passkn and plans to murder Jscob after Isaac's death* This is a most bitter experience far Easti, but he is merely reaping what fee sowed* for a brief tadttlgeace of 1 * test* ltt*sold Ws brrtbright. lfajr 9sa«<S foOy warn us of dtc^ateg Jeslh STOMACH ACIDITY, INDIGESTION, GAS QUICK!

The influenza runs a very brief course when the patient us careful, and if we keep the system in good condition and throw off the poisons which tend to accumulate within our bodies, we can escape the disease. Remember the»e three C'»—a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels. To carry off poisons from the system and keep the bowels loowe, daily doses of a pleasant laxative bhould be taken. Such a one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap, and called Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used freely if attacked by a cold, and the patient should be put to bed after a hot mustard foot-bath. To prevent the attack of bronchitis or pneumonia and* to control the pain, Anuric tablets Bbould be obtained at the drug store, and one given every two hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tablets were first discovered by Dr. Pierce, and, as they flush ths bladder and cleanse the kidneys, they carry away much of the poisonw and the uric acid. It is important that broths, milk, buttermilk, ioe-cream and simple diet be given regularly to strengthen the system and increase the vital resistance. The fever is diminished by the use of the Anuric tablets, but in addition, the forehead, arms and hands may be bathed with water (tepid) in which a tablcspoonful of salaratus has been dissolved in a quart.

Announcement of signing of the armistice reached the premiers while they were in session in the apartment of Colonel House, President Wilson's personal representative, this afternoon, and gave the greatest satisfaction. It was arranged conditions of the armistice would be made public promptly. Vienna (via London).—"Hostilities have ceased on the Italian theater of war", says an official statement issued here. "An armistice has been concluded*:, the statement adds. Austria Signs Armistice Terms. Washington. — Armistice terms which Austrians have accepted are expected here to furnish clear index to those the supreme war council at Versailles is preparing for Germany. Consequently their publication will carry greater significance than otherwise would attach since the Aus. trian surrender had been discounted In advance by internal disintegration of the dual monarchy and collapse of Austro-Hungarian forces on the Italian front. 0 fllcial announcement the armistice had been signed has reached the state department. In making this known, officials gave no indication of terms imposed, nor was there any explanation of why cessation of hostilities had been delayed 24 hours or more after actual signing of the art. idea of surrender. The - generally accepted view, however, seemed, to be that it was desired to have virtually all Italian soil freed of enemy troops before Italian armies were committed to end their attacks upon routed Austrian forces. Military men here said terms the supreme war council had prepared would make it impossible for Austrians to renew hostilities, probably including disarming of enemy troops and occupation of strategic points a3 well. Some of these, namely Trent and Trieste, already have been occupied by Italian and Allied forces. Free movement of Allied forces through Austria to attack Germany from the south, should the supreme war command decide this stroke necessary in the future, also is expected to be stipulated. Unofficial reports from Vienna said Germans were preparing for such an attack by feverishly digging trenches on and fortifying the Bavarian frontier. Defection of Austria leaves Germany stripped of its last ally and most of the military men here, both Allied and American, believe her capitulation will follow soon after terms from Versailles are submitted. War Council in Session. Exchanges of views between Colonel E. M. House, special representative of the American government in France, and Allied premiers continued at Colonel House's home in Paris, and apparently the general terms for Germany are not yet ready lor submission to the Allied military leaders for consideration with their regard to military necessities. Colonel House is keeping President Wil- •on constantly advised as to progress of events. Great importance is attached here to the course followed by Allied and American governments in deferring peace settlements with Austria, Turkey And Bulgaria until Germany also shall surrender or be crushed.

With hardened mountaineers of the Italian army available for use elsewhere with the surrender of Austria, observers look for Immediate preparation for invasion of Germany by way of Alsace-Lorraine. Italian picked troops might be spared at once to join such a campaign as they would not be needed to carry out operations incidental to the Austrian surrender. Not only will the whole fighting man power of Allied and American armies be available now for the task of crushing Germany's defensive front, but to supplement the already vastly superior equipment of those armies In guns, aircraft and all Qther war machinery, there is now at the disposal of Marshal Foch all the Bulgarian, Turkish and Austrian military equipment.

Chapataa.) WALLACE HAS AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER WITH MAJOR KELLERMAN. Synopsis.—Lieut. Mark Wallace, U. S. A„ Is wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone In the Jungle he comes across a dead man In a hut outside of which a little girl Is playing. When he is rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and announces his intention of adopting her. His commanding officer, Major Howard, tells him that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor, who sold department secrets to an international gang in Washington and was detected by himself and Kellerman, an officer In the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall neyer know her father's shame. Several years later Wallace visits Eleanor at a young ladles' boarding school. She gives him a pleasant shock by declaring that when she is eighteen she Intends to marry him. More years pass and Wallace remains In the West. At the outbreak of the European war Colonel H6ward calls Wallace to a staff post in Washington. He finds Eleanor there, also Kellerman, in whom he discerns an antagonist. I ,•=>.•*'• * ^ * * r - CHAPTER V—Continued. "Schoolgirls can Judge character as •well as grown-ups." "And so you think you know me, and —and you're not altogether disappointed ?" asked Mark, smiling at last. "I'm not disappointed In you at all, If you aren't in me. Dear Uncle Mark, people don't really change—never, never! Only they learn to adapt them- «elvea,to their environment*. You are jtnffthe same as ever—Just the quiet, •sensitive, chivalrous Uncle Mark I've *lways dreamed of." "Well," said Mark, "I see that there are hopes that I shall regain the little -ward whom I've always thought about -And, of course, I ought to have reflected that your environment has been very different from the one I could &ave given you." "I wish I'd been with you, Uncle Mark," she answered impulsively. "Why didn't you keep me when yoqhad jrour chance, if you wanted me? Oh, dear Uncle Mark, that was so like you, too—giving up to others. And you never sent me that photograph!" "I've never had one taken since, Eleanor." "But I've got you yourself now," said the girl. "So you mustn't give me up any more, no matter who seems to have a better claim on me, Will you .promise me that?" Mark knew Bow f«r certain that be had found his own. "I promise," he -answered. "Because, you know, I've been very .happy with Colonel and Mrs. Howard. But this isn't the best and biggest part of me that you see here. If I could :have had'my way I'd rather have been living a more useful life somewhere— somewhere where I hadn't quite so .many things that I want. Colonel Howard gives me everything he thinks 1 want. But—you see, Uncle Mark. something is missing. You remember -what we talked over—about my being t h e regimental mascot?" Mark nodded, watching her face closely. "Well, all that's over and gene. There isn't any regiment now, anyway. All the old people have gone out of It. And we were three years In San Francisco, you know. And—Oh, Uncle Mark, I wish we could have those days again, when I used to dream-about my father and—aod—'* "I know, m y dear," said Marie. - "I've always gecretly hoped* that I should know, some day. But I've almost stopped hoping, except for one thing that Tve never told anybody. T o n remember what I said to y<ra about a man watching me?" "He doesn't watch yon now, Eleanor I" She nodded. "He has come back," s h e answered. "Ha's older and grayer, *>ut he's the same man. I've seen him bere, in Washington. And I've never dared to speak of i t even to Colonel iHoward, bat I know it's not a delusion, Uncle Mark." "And yon think he has some connection with your father, Eleanor?" asked Hark. "I dos't know what to think. What do you think, Uncle Mark?" asked the g i r l "I think, my dear," said Mark deliberately, "that It isn't the same man. I t stands' to reason it can't he. Why should he neve watched yen all these years add never spoken to you? No, Eleanor, I think you've, had this Idem so long that you have misinterpreted —I mean—" " I ' k n o w what you mean, U n d o Mark. Well, it doesn't matter. And now I must go hacsr to Mrs. Howard or they will be wondering what h a s become «1 me. But we're picked u p oar Bsssserlesv h a v e o t wot And 1¾ see a lot of you, Uncle Mark, before you go to the war?" CHAPTER VI. But Mark refused Colonel Howard's invitation to become his guest, and avoided the house in Massachusetts circle as much as he could with decency. He was courageous enough to analyze his reasons and he did not conceal the result from himself. He wanted Eleanor with all the pentup longing of the denied years In the desert. His love was the strongest passion that he had ever felt, and yet, strangely for a man of his years, It had in it much more of the paternal ele ment than of the lover. All his life he had been almost klnless, his only sister was dead, he wanted Eleanor's presence, Eleanor with him, to see her every day, whether as wife or daughter. Yet he was brave enough to acknowledge that this love, selfless In a measure, threatened to become a consuming passion If he did not hold himself rigidly in check. He, the middle-aged captain, and Eleanor, with her station, her prospects and her beauty—it was an impossible dream, or one that would ruin the girl's life if, in some wild moment, she made it truth. He had his reward In Eleanor's increasing restraint, her quite visible Indignation. They had fallen apart again, after that single meeting. It was a poor reward, but the sort that Mark had received all his life from fortune. But there were lonely nights when life seemed unbearable, and he had to exert all his will power to keep himself in check. Mark had rented a little furnished apartment in the Norths west section, off Pennsylvania avenue, and he had found the desert more companionable. One night he felt at the end of his powers-. That was after a grilling day in the war office, one of those days that sometimes come in Washington toward the middle of September, when everything is as sticky as the asphalt sidewalks. It had been a day of evil portent besides. Colonel Howard, who had seemed of late to reflect Eleanor's coolness in some measure, had greeted him with a wry face when he came in. "The devil's to pay, Mark," he said. "Draw up your chair. There's a leakage In the department." - "What?" cried Mark. "Things are getting known—for instance, our dealings with the shipping people. They've found the exact number of ships we've requisitioned. You . know whom I mean by 'they.'" Mark nodded. The cosmopolitan influences in Washington, whose ramiflcations extended to the ends of the earth, or, at least, across the Atlantic, were busy In every drawing room extracting news, the? tiniest and least re* liable of which was not despised, since many such single items make up a coherent story. "The Brigadier's wild about It," continued the Colonel, pulling at his mustache, "And it seems impossible to detect ^ how the leakage occurred. It must have been through the shipping companies, of course; yet they.couldn't have pieced the thing together without concerted- action, which is out of the question. Let's go through the papers." They opened the safe and went through them one by one, but nothing was missing. "Damn it 1" growled Colonel Howard. T v e been through this before, Mark —you know t h a t In that cast there was a traitor a t work. Wo fosmd him. In this case there can be none; at least, in the war department And ? r s told the Brigadier H I answer with my ptaes for discovering where the leak hea» He closed the safe and strode off into Kellennan's room, to return with Kellerman, looking angrier than before. . "What are we going to do, Kellerman?" he asked. Kellerman pursed out his lips. "Well, Colonel, you know as much about It as any of us," he answered. "There's always been two of us present night and morning when the papers were transferred. I'll vouch for you, Wallace will, I presume, vouch for me, and you, I presume, will vouch for Wrullace." The sinister look on his face affected Mark more disagreeably than ever. Mark felt nettled, though the words had been fair. "If there's been a leak," he said "it seems to-me it's up to the Brigadier to discover it. It's outside; It Isn't our business to locate It. We're doing our part—what more can we do?" "Come along and tell the Brigadier that," suggested Howard. Mark, nothing loath, accompanied him to the General's room. But the Brigadier was more furious than Howard. "I don't know how it happened, Colonel, and I don't carel" he cried, thumping the table. "No great harm has been done so far, and of course none of the departmental clerks can be suspected. But It's got to stop, and we've got to find out how it originated." It was on that night that Mark felt at the end of his powers. It was early, he had dined and was sitting disconsolately in his apartment; nothing seemed of any value to him at that moment, and his thoughts were ranging round their eternal subject. Had It been necessary that he should have treated Mrs. Howard and Eleanor boorishly, to protect himself? He put on his hat and went out, meaning to pay them a visit, or, at least, to walk toward their house while making his decision. He had not decided by the time he reached Massachusetts circle, and, as he stopped In doubt, he saw a man across the road, staring up at the house. Of a sft&deD Eleanor's story recurred to his mindhwith vivid force. The man was obviously watching the house, and he meant to stay there. But, as Mark started toward him, the man seemed to take fear, and shambled away. Something in his gait brought back, to Mark's mind the recollection of the man whom he had seen outside the Misses Harpers' school. And he began to follow him. It was a role that he had never played before, but Justified, In his mind, by the necessity of discovering the fellow's Identity. Without any very clear intention in his mind how he was to accomplish this, Mark made his way after the solitary figure, keeping well behind it. It soon became clear that the man, although he looked like a tramp, had a definite objective, Mark pursued him toward Pennsylvania avenue, until he discovered that he was nearing the least desirable part of Washington, whose location, so near the residence of the chief executive, has always been the wonder and scandal of visitors. He was in one of those streets that start bravely in the city and debouch Into the low-lying land in that intermediate and hardly reclaimed region bordering the Potomac. The houses here were old, many appearing vacant and tumble-down, and for the most part standing each in a little garden. Mark was beginning to think of tackling the fugitive, who, unconscious of pursuit, was about fifty paces in front of him, when suddenly the man turned in at the tiny garden of an apparently deserted house and knocked at the door, which was opened almost immediately. Mark heard a subdued scream, and then the man's voice in angry altercation. He was talfilng to the woman who had opened the door. She looked about five and thirty years of age, and her face, distinctly visible against the light in the hall, was well-bred, If not attractive. She seemed one of those cosmopolitans who frequent the capital ; Mark was still uncertain whether her house was one of those residences that are still occupied in this district by the original owners, or whether she was the mistress of one of those gambling establishments that flourish of necessity along the avenues of the earlier alphabet The man seemed to be pleading with her, his gestures were growing frantic He looked about five and forty years of age; his face struck Mark with a certain odd familiarity, though he had never teen him closely before, and bore traces of breeding, blurred either by dissolute habits or by misfortune. The woman answered him In tone* of quick auger, and made u gesture of dismissal. The man held bib grouod doggedly, the voices became angrier. "No I No, 1 tell you !" the woman cried. "I don't know who you ure! Will you go?" Suddenly a mun came along the passage behind her, carrying a walking- cane with a heavy handle. He raised it and brought it ira&aiug down on the other's head. The man fell to the ground, evidently half stunned by the blow. The mun with the cane raised it aud brought it down ugain and again upon the other's head and face, in a succession of sickening crushes. Mark ran to the garden gate. The man with the stick paused, raised hia head, and looked at him. Mark recognized Kellerman. As Kellerman, in turn, recognized him, an uugry sneer spread over his face. "My dear Wallace, what the dickens are you doing here?" he demanded. "Are you try lug to kill this man?" asked Mark. Kellerman seemed nonplussed for the moment. "I hope I've given him his lesson," he answered. "He came here and demanded money, and nearly frightened Mrs. Kenson out of her senses. Let me present you—" Mark looked Into the keen, appraising eyes of Mrs. Kenson with dislike and disgust. "You'd better let him go, Major Kellerman," he said. As he spoke he saw Mrs. Kenson bite her lip vindictively. "Oh. I'll leave him to you," responded Kellerman airily. "You'll excuse me, Wallace, I'm sure, but Mrs. Kenson's auto will be here in a few, moments." Mark, hot with indignation, answered nothing, but raised the man from the ground and got him outside the gate. As he did so he heard the door of the house close softly. The tramp was half unconscious, and muttering vaguely. "Four years since I've seen her," he mumbled. "I didn't want money. Only the word. God knows I wouldn't have taken money from her as he said, the cur—" "Was she your wife?" asked Mark, thinking that he saw light. "God forbid!" ejaculated the man with convincing spontaneity. "Who are you, anyway?" he demanded, looking at him directly for the first time. "What were you doing in that place?" He grasped Mark by the arm. "Are you another friend of hers?" he asked. "Or didn't you know that it's the swellest gambling house in Washington? Mark took him by the shoulders. "What's your name and where, do you live?4" he asked. "I haven't time to waste on you, but I'm ready to help you if I can." "My name? Hartley. Good enough name, isn't it? Live? I haven't lived for more years than I remember. I'm a corpse—see? I wanted to live. That's why I came here when I heard she was in Washington. Walked from New York. Why should she be here now, unless there's another poor young fool like me for her? Where the carcass is, there are the eagles—or is it vultures?" Mark drew the man's arm through his and led him away. Presently a cab came crawling up. He hailed it and gave his address. He took him home and played the Good Samaritan, washed his wounds, plastered them, and gave the man a bed in his living room Hnrtlev had subsided into a state of frightened silence. He looked dubiously at Mark all the while he was receiving his ministrations, and would say nothing. "Now, please understand," said Mark, "I've brought you here because you seem to me to be up against it. The door's unlocked. And I'm trusting you with my things. Those cups are silver, Hartley—I won them at West Point. That little picture is by Griffin and worth about seven hundred. That's about all, I think—but I want you to understand you're free, and I'll help you if I can." Hartley flushed rather oddly, Mark thoughv, but said not a word. It was a foolish act, he thought repeatedly before he fell asleep; but he must win the man's confidence if he was to learn the mystery. And he was satisfied that his interest in Eleanor's movement boded no harm to her. In the morning, Hartley was gone, as he expected. But he had taken neither the cups nor the picture. Wallace is brought face to fees with the greatest crisis of his life. Disaster confronts him. He sees the hand of Major Kellerman behind it all, but how can he prove l\1 Dont miss the next Installment (TO BE CONTINUED.) Asn Hopper.

German prisoners who were farmers before the wur have done good service as agricultural laborers in Britain. Perhaps it must be admitted, says a writer in the Illustrated London News, that some of them work with ulterior motives. A friend of mine who understands Gorman perfectly heard n conversation between two of them. One hud just finished a hard piece of digging in first-class fashion. "You have done that very well," said his friend. "That is so," remarked the tired worker. "I think we all ought to do so. When we occupy this country our government will expect to find that we have brought it into the best order possible. We shall want nil the food It can grow." After all, the motive does not matter under the circumstances; the truth remains that German prisoners have done much for agriculture in England and are capable of doing much more.

J., says: "I suffered with rheumatism for six or seven years. My limbs and joints were so stiff and swollen, I could walk only with difficulty and the pains in my hips were so severe, I could hardly bear them. Every step I took was torture. My feet and limbs were swollen and so sore, I could hardly bear tny weight on them. During the night I would lie awake for hoars and become so nervous, I would have to get up. Dimness came over me suddenly and my sight blurred, I was never free from the miserable backaches and rheumatic f ins. I used different remedies, bat didn't get any better. Then I corn* manced to use Doon's Kidney PilU. The swellings began to leave right away and X continued to use them.

Spanish Influenza, wkteh appeared la Spain In May, has aU the appearance of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in aaraeroos epidemics as far back am history run*. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C whlch is regarded by many to hare been inflnenss. fivssy century has had Its attacks. Beginning with 1S31 this country has had five epidemics, the last in ISM-ltSO. THB SYMPTOMS. Grippe, or tnnuensa, as It ts now called, usually begins with a chill, followed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and depression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucous membrane, or lining of the air passages—nose, throat and bronchial tubes; there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THB TREATMENT. Go to bed at the first symptoms, not Only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading the disease to others—take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's Powder, etc.. may be administered by ths physician's directions to relieve the aching. But ther* Is no cure or specific for Inftuennt—the disease ran its ctrvrse. Nature herself win throw off the attack if only you keep up yosx strength. The chle* danger iles in the complications which may arise. Infloerraa so weakens the bodily resistance that there Is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis developing anS sometimes Inflammation of the middle ear. or heart affections. For these reasons, it is very Important that ths patient remain in bed until his strength returns—stay In bed at least two days or more after the fever has left yon, or rf you are over 5« or not strong, stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack. BXTERNAL APPLICATIONS. I s onter to stimulate the lining s* the air passages to throw oS ths grips* gernwy to aid In loosening ths phlegm and keeping tbe air passages open, thas making the breathing easier, Vlck's VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between .the shoulder blades to open ths pores. Then Vlck's shoal d b* robbed in over the parts until the ski* is red, spread on thickly and eover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loos* aroand the, neck, as the heat of ths body liberates the ingredients in t h s forss of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affected* At the same time. VapoRub Is absorbed through a ad stimulates ths skin attracting the blood to the surface and thus aids in r«lt»v)ng> the congestion within. ROW TO AVOID THB DI SEA SSL BtVidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human coataet, chiefty through coughing, sneezing or spitting. Ss> avoid persons having colds — which means avoiding crowds — common drinking cups, roller towels* etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air and good food. KEEP FREE FROM OOlXkS. Above aVI keep free froui colds, as colds irritate the lining ol the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Viek's VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little in a spoon and Inhale tbe vapors^ or better still* Jse VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half-full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle Just slowly boiling—inhale the steam arising.

All these indicate some weakness of the kidneys or other organs or that the enemy microbes which are always present in your system have attacked your weak spots.

Crowder. Between November 11 and 15, it was announced, 253,335 white men physically qualified for general military service will entrain, making the largest single call issued under the Selective Service Act. The remain- * der of the November total, so far as announced, will be made up of Negroes for entrainment November 19 to 21. With the assembling of the men provided in these calls, the total number of men inducted into military service will have passed th3 3,000,000 mark, and the number of men in the United States Army In the field or training will total more uian 4,000,000. Men who registered September 12 will make up the largest proportion of the November mobilization. Although the October calls were suspended because of the influenza epidemic, nearly all have been re-issuod during the last three weeka. In states where the calls have not been re-issued, men called for camp in October will leave this month. Calls for additional men to entrain later this mouth are in preparation. Michigan Is asked to send 2,344 men t o Camp Wadsworth. NAME 17 NON-WAR PROJECTS List Curtails Nearly Every Clatt of Construction.

W h e n things are obvious, people keep looking for mysteries behind them. So it is with the packing business. The mere size of Swift & Company confuses many. Because their imaginations are not geared up to scale, they believe there must be magic in it somewhere—«ome weird power. Swift & Company is just like any other manufacturing business run by human beings like yourself; it takes in raw material on the one hand and turns out a finished product on the other. Swift & Company keeps down the "spread," or the expense absorbed between raw and finished material, to as Iowa figure as possible. (If it didn*t it would be put out of business by others who do.) How much Swift & Company pays for the raw material, and how much it gets for the finished product, depends upon conditions which Swift & Company does not control. It depends entirely upon how much people want the finished product, and how much raw material there is available to make it from. The profits of Swift & Company amount to less than one cent per pound on all meats and by-products—less than one-fourth of a cent on beef. ^•» •.

Friday, A.igust 2:;rd, 11*18 Dear Sister and all: Well I thought that 1 write and tell you all the that I had while I was on and also today we ate celebrating our first year in U. S. uniform. Well to start off we started from here on the 11th, Sunday, at about 7 in the morning arriving at the town whe re sBase 17, Herper Unit is stationed, and ltayed there lor over twelve hours, eaving about 2:15 A. M. on Monday. We went direct trom there to Alx-les Bains and arrived there at about 7:30 A. M. and was assigned to a hotel and got set along the feed line The first day pawed rapidly while we were looking around the town and believe me, we saw all there was to see while we were there. The town didn't come anywhere near my expectations and so I was disappointed to start with. i guess it wsm all due to the war and the fact that Paris is quite quaint compared to the cities in the States. The stre t8, 1 mean the main boulevards, are wide and dandy to ride or# drive en. They h&ve no traffic regulations at all, and the cabs go this way and that. They don't stop for anything. They never make a square corner, just cut in anywhere and keep gaining speed with every foot. You can hire one and ride all morning for about one dollar so you see they are fairly cheap. We went to the Follies-Bergere.n the evening of the 20th and it sure was funny. They jabbered in French so we couldn't understand it, although it looked pretty good from a distance. The entrance, instead of going directly into the theater, goes into a cafe about 150 feet long. From there you go into ( t h e theater proper. You see, in that and rooms \ way they don't "have to have th£ crowd go abftut nine in the morning. out for the intermission, but Btay We looked around the town most of j right inside and drink the wine they sell the morning and afternoon, but at night [ in the cafe. We stayed there about an took in the dance at the YMCA and hour and that was enough for us. ,We certainly enjoyed ourselves. I happen-! hit for the Y and went to bed so we ed to dance with Americans, Spanish, J could get up in the morning in good English, Scotch, Irish and Italian girls ; season. We got up and had out breakdancers and like we do The committee having in charge the collection of the Y. M. C. A. War Fund of 1917 have only recently finished t h e i r w o r k .

Rivard in the train and walked back, which took three hours steady walking and running. Well I guess we stopped a couple of times for a short rest but not fast before the rooster crowed. But we only had one day left. We had to get a lot of stuff and we wanted to go out in the Y sightseeing car in the afternoon. We sailed around all morning: in cabs, going to pipe stores looking for a place where I could get mp pipe fixed and also over to Spauld- ^, '. r i i'. - t 1 •T9, C S ' i o n ad1 i o r a (i n p'r"V> G-< t h e a r e i V ' J !' t ! w e ' • • \ \ re ,l > tr.e t ,..:o long by any means.

Well, we got back to the Y at l i and then piled into the Y bus and got a good seat and while -bitting there who doy.ou suppose came up'and shook hands but Bernard McCluskey. Honest, you don't know how glad 1 was to see him. We went into the Y and had Ja great talk about everything that had happened since we lelt Pinckney and everything. that had happened since we came G e t i n t o a T : i.. AUCTION SALE!

On the trips around Paris in the Y bus we saw the church which was hit by the big gun on E%ster Sunday and where so many people had been killed, the store where the first shell from Idg Bertha had hit, the hotel where the first air raid bomb struck, the Arch of Triumph, Napoleon's Tomb, Eiffel Tower, Baetile Prison, Notre Da ne Cathedral, places where the high water mark from the flood a few years ago may be seen and the Invallides, where all the trophies of war are keDt and saw plenty of guns, airplanes, etc. The trip took about 1 hours and every minute was enjoyed. We took the S o'clock train- out and arrived here about o;30 p. m.,. having dinner on the train. It was real good and nor. high priced considering the amount of feed we had. I think my bill was 8fr. :>0cm. which is about .*I.(.!*.) in good old U. S. A. money. When we got back we found that the hospital had been changed into an evacuation hospital instead of a base, although t h e address is the same, and most of the patients had been evacuated. and they are waiting for new cases to come in. In this way we will probably handle enormus numbers daily when they once start, coming in. It meana more work of course but I guess that's what we're here for. Will send you a set of pictures which I toek while away as soon as they are finished. Passthis around as it is too long to rewrite about seven times and one is enough for us all.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan Thursday Nov. 21, 1918 Soldiers' Letter The following letter was received by £. C. Sibley, editdr of the Springport Signal, from his brother Clyde, former editor of the Pinckney Dispatch: France, October, 1918. Dear Brother: Received your long letter written the first of September, along with four others. ( We came near having to go down to St. Satur Sunday afternoon but it was cold and rainy and the l'autenant could only round up about half of the bunch, so we didn't go. It was certainly a long day. We have one Btove and one fireplace in our rooms. Most of the people here use fireplaces to heat their homes so I imagine it does-not get very cold herein winter. We have some time making our stove go and haver some bellowB for that purpose. Sunday it nearly smoked us out of house and home. As there is no chimney in the bui lding we have to run the pipe out of the window. There is no danger of the building burning as they are all made of atone about two feet thick. Saturday the. band hiked over to a town where one of the companies are located, about five mites, and back. Left here at 10 a.m., got our dinner at the village with the company, then marched them about two mites the other side of the village to 'a Chate a u where the company held their blowout which consisted §i a ballgame, drills, band music etc. The people at the Chateau were very fine to us. The lady said that she used to live in an English town where we were located on our way over. They treated us to some fine wine and cookies. About 4:10 we started back and arrived about 7, after which we got «ur sapper and then played a concert at the K. C. hall It is needless to say it was not very •spirited. Last Thursday the band went up to a little village about four miles away and gave some concerts for the boys. We made this trip on the train,' While we were waiting for the train a troop train filled with artil lerymen from all sections of the army stopped there. Believe me, they were one hard looking crew and didn't seem to UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE In grateful acknowledgement of the blessings that a kind Providence has conferred upon us in the past year, and in compliance with the proclamation of of out chief executives, the people of Pinckney and vicinity are called to assemble at the CongregationalChurch on the 28th of November for worship.

Early in life she became a Christian and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. Since then she has lived an earnest Christian life; ready to help in the Master's service as far as she was able. As a wife she was kind, as a mother affectionate and lovable, as a neighbor always ready with a helping hand. Fifty years ago she moved.from Jackson to the farm now owned by her son, and has lived since then within one hundred rods of her birthplace. A few -years ago the home was remodeled.

School Com* Last Friday afternoon the boat of Pinckney'a football fans assembled at the football field west of town to witness the local team's second encounter with Howell High this seasor. Having met the Pinckney huskies once this season with disastrous results to themselves, the Howell team had come prepared for a bard struggle, accompanied by a crowd of enthusiastic and confident rooters. At about three o'clock the teams took their positions) the referee's whistle sounded sad the game was on. After the ball had changed hands several times, the visiting team captured a goal through an unavoidable error on the part of one of the Pinckney players but lost the kick, making the »core 6-0 for HoweQ. During the first of the third quarter, Pinckney, by a. succession of quick rashes, carried the ball over Howell's goal Una. Pinckney also failed on the kick, making the score 5-6Y In the same quarter one of the opposing players, having fouled severe times, was at last ordered off the field by the referee. Whereupon those staunch heroes of the gridiron, the Howell players, announced,, with one voice,' "We won't play!". The referee,, in order to continue the battle, consented to the Howell man's re-inatattinent 00 the ptomise that there should be no more dirty playing About this time, Lowell, by some hook or creek having msnsged to get in the locality of Pinckney's goal posts, tried a forward pass which wetidhave worked admira>ty except FOR SALE OR EXCHANGF-A first class mahogany piano.

To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry awuy the poisons within, it is best to take a vegetable pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloes, Jalap, and sugar-coated, to be hud at most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce's Pteasunt Pellets. If there is a sudden onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copiously of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, ask the druggist for Anuric (anti-uric) tublets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks o$ lemonade. The pneumonia appears In a most treacherous way, when the Influenza victim is apparently recovering and anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from a bad attack of influenza or pneumonia the system should be built up with a good herbal tonic, such as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made without alcohol from the coots and barks of American forest trees, or his Irontic (iron tonic) tablets, which can be obtained at most drug stores, or send 10c. to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel.

It had once been surrounded by wide acres, but gradually the growing town had encroached on its borders; and', j)lt by bit, the property had been swallowed up, until at last the lowbrowed, rambling farmhouse was elbowed by smarter town residences, and could boast only a narrow dooryard In front, and a cramped orchard in the rear. "The mills had spoiled Layton," old Mrs. Tetlow used to say, with a dreary shake of the head, as she watched these changes. The Tetlow farm had been a prosperous one In its day, and its owners h«d lived on it in quiet respectability for many generations. But they were all scattered and gone now—these Tetlows— save for the one lonely old wornun, who gazed out of the small-paned windows. People said Mrs. Tetlow was growing forgetful. Perhaps she was—forgetful of the present. t It was a dreary November day. The clouds hung low and a few scattering snowftakes were beginning to fall. "Reul Thanksgiving weather," murmured Mrs. Tetlow, as she looked out of her front window. "Yes, It's real Thanksgiving weather." repeated the old lady, drawing her small shoulder shawl closer about her. "It's time to be making the mincemeat." "Mother always did that the first thing," she went on, by and by, "and today is Friday. Next week will bring the last Thursday in the month. The proclamation^ be rer ' next Sabbath." The knitting needles lay idle In Mrs. Tetlow's lap, a§> she rocked slowly back and forth. "Grandma Spencer's folks always came by Wednesday night," she said, after a reflective pause, "and brother Peter and his wife and boys would get here as early as 9 Thanksgiving morning. The rest didn't come till nearly noon. I wonder where Peter's boy is now. I wish the West weren't so far off. I wonder if the boy's done well." Mrs. Tetlow stopped rocking and sat up straight in her chair. "Wouldn't I like to get ready for another such Thanksgiving party,** she exclaimed, a red spot burning In either cheek. "I believe I will." She arose, her slight figure trembling as she rolled up her- knitting work and thrust the needles Into it "Let me see," she went on musingly, how many most I provide for? There's Peter and Mary and the three boys* and Jane and Henrietta and Uncle Solon. Nannie and her husband and the little folks, bless *emf and Grandma Spencer's folks and Joe and Letty. It'll be a long tableful, bat HI be reedy for them.". Monday saw active preparations going on In the old kitchen. The last thing each night before golag to her bed the old lady took her wavering candle and inspected her pantry shelves* and with every evenins there wen more toothsome goodies to behold. When the traveling butcher stopped Wednesday for his usual small order, Mrs, Tetlow followed him out to bis cart and selected the, largest turkey la hie collection. The man's eyes opened wide. "Expecting company, ma'amT be eafced aa be weighed It, and the old woman nodded gravely. That morning the windows- in the upper chamber were thrown open to the wind and sunshine, and sweeping and dusting and airing of bed linen were in order. "Grandma Spencer's folks always come by Wednesday night," she said, "and the rooms haven't been used for some time. They feel a little damp, so 1*1} have them open all day.** Toward night Mrs. Tetlow put on her second best gown and' sat down near the window to watcb. When her guests arrive** the mar* eat neighbor .might not hsvae known. bat a lamp was lighted in the dim beat room that evening, and at nine o'clock the old woman ..took a becF room candle In either hand and toiled up the creaking stair. On the little stand beside each bed she placed a brass candlestick, apd, .having turned back the sheets, went out again, murmuring a soft "good-night." Mrs. Tetlow arose at dawn, and before it was time to prepare breakfast she had dressed her turkey and set it aside, ready for the oven. About nine o'clock she began to lay her table. Having smoothed out every wrinkle In the cloth, she gathered all her geranium blossoms and put them in the center of the table in a glass bowl. Then the silver., which had all been polished the day before, was brought forth from its canton flannel wrappings, and Great-grandma Tetlow's blue china was lifted down from the shelves of the china closet. "How good It Is to see all these things out again!" exclaimed the old lady, surveying the result of her labor with pardonable pride; "and it's right good to have company once more," she added with a little sigh; "I've eaten alone so long." "I've nothing to do now," she said, "but to sit at the front window and watch for the folks to come, I'll be able to see them far up the meadow road." A few minutes later she was startled by hearing a knock at the front door, and, quite trembling with the shock, she arose to open It* "Good morning, Mrs. Tetlow." It was Mrs. Clifford, the young doctor's wife, who spoke. "Good morning, Mrs. Tetlow. Isn't this a beautiful Thanksgiving day? Madam Clifford is out in the carriage and she wants to take you home to have dinner with us. Please say you'll come; and let me get your bonnet and shawl for you." Mrs. Tetlow looked down into the bright young face, with a dreamy happiness in her own, aa she slowly shook her head. "You're real good," she said, "and please tell Madam Clifford I'm just aa much obliged to her, but I can't come today, rm—Tnt looking for company." There was a ring of tremulous pride In the old voice that went to the heart of the young woman. She looked up into the wrinkled old face and noted the strange glow of content and far-off happiness in the old eyes, Mrs. Clifford remembered it afterward with a sense of awe. As she turned to go now she saw, through the open door, a corner of the long table, all ready for dinner. T B ao glad for yon, Mrs, Tetlow r she exclaimed lmpolarvoly. 1 nope you win have a pleasant Thanksgiving day." Then aha hurried back to her carriage, and Mrs. Tetlow returned to her rocking-chair by the window. "They're real late," aba murmured to herself now and then, and a new, strange weariness and numbness crept over nor as she sat and watted, her dim vision still wandering far op the-f he meadow road. ~ Suddenly she started forward with outstretched arms. "Peter r ana cried. "Mary !** and -then sank back feebly In her chair. T i n right glad to see j w auVehe faltered, "but I seem to be a little tired. Just lay off your things and draw up near tha fire. It la growing chilly." Sne draw her shawl doner, about her, with a tfrtte thtver aa she sDoke, "Johnny, just put another stick In the stove; that's a good boy." Sheclosed her eyes a moment, murmuring softly to herself, "I musn't give out now; Its nearly dinner time. I'll just rest till the others come.** But soon she leaned forward again, a Joyous smile on her lips. "Nannie!" she exclaimed, "and the blessed baby! I didn't see you come in. Sit here, child; I'll hold the little one while you rest," and she began to croon softly as she rocked. "It Is cold," she murmured again, "real cold; but then It's Thanksgiving weather." Several moments slipped by, while the old clock alone broke the stillness; then Mrs. Tetlow raised her head. "I smell lavender," she said. "Aunt Henrietta 1 I knew you had come. I smelted the lavender." "Grandma Spencer's in the best room," she added. "She came at sundown last evening and she seems real smart. What, Joe, you here, tool Did you come in the back way? Uncle Solon and pa are in the barn, aren't they?" An anxious look suddenly clouded the sunshine In her eyes. s"Nannle," she whispered, "will you just take s look at things In the kitchen. I seem to be a little tired, but there's nothing to do. I'll come soon." Her gaze wandered up the "meadow road" again, the joyous look returning, "They're coming!" she cried at length. "They're coming; I can see the sleigh.11 Then she turned, as though some one had touched her elbow, and started back wonderingiy "My little Mary!" she faltered, with dimming eyes, "my little Mary, with her old rag baby! I thought—oh, father, John, here Is our little Mary I" ^ t h a beautiful gesture she clasped the child of her youth to her heart, and when she raised her eyes again It was to murmur, "Mother, father, Tatty, flhen—what a grand Thanksgiving ! I didn't count on seeing you elfcr why, the room is full—full—but I have enough—** a " • • • • The sun bad gone down when Dr. Clifford drove by the old Tetlow place, on bis way to see some patient "So the old lady is entertaining,'* be said to himself, remembering bis wife's story, and then, glancing at the house, he drew his horse «p suddenly. "No lights T be exclaimed, and an lutultivaimplee ntndVhtm atop, T can't seem to go by," he said, *T, must just run in and see If an Is well with the old lady." He hurried up the path and lifted the heavy knocker, hut no one answered. Then th* doctor opened the door and walked in. "Mr*. Tetlow," br celled, but the loud tick of tiie deck alone responded, Finally a sleepy cut emerged from the kitchen and rubbed against hie lag. Dr. Clifford struck a match and lighted a lamp that stood on the bull table. Then he pasted Into -the attttngrootn. The fire in the air-tight store bad gone out and the room had grown cold,' Throngh a naif-open door could see dimly a long table, tatt for many guests, but ao plate bad beep disturbed.

"Tick-took, tick-tock," said the Uv- Ing-room clock, not-fur off, "will you tell me what ia funay ? It's a most peculiar thing for a clock to say 'It's funny' for no reason at all." "But I have a reason," said the hall dock. • "That's all right, then," said the living- room clock. **You apologize, do you?" asked the hall clock. "Well, no, not exactly," said the living- room clock. "What do you do, theuf' inquired the hall clock. "I tick and I tock and I keep the time, hu, ha," said the living-room clock. "I'm cracking a little joke myself." "Why won't you apologize?" asked the hall clock. "For the simple reason that I don't feel I should. I said I thought it was silly and peculiar for a clock to say It's funny,' without any reason, but as long as you have a reason I don't think It's peculiar at all. So tell me your reason for saying 'It's funny,'" ended the living-room clock. "Of course, situated as I am In this flne position in the hall," said the hall clock, "I hear a great deal that is going on. "I hear the people talk, grown-ups 'Oh, Dear, I Wish I Weren't So Fat." of them tulk and md children. How some ran talk ! My! But they they talk and they talk." "Well.Jet thejn," said the living-room clock. "Don't we tick and tock, tick «nd tock, tick and tock?" "That's a wise speech," safd the hall clock, "and I'll forgive you this time for Interrupting." "I didn't think about It," said the living- room clock. "I forgot I was Interrupting again. "I cannot say that I object to the people talking so much," continued the hall clock. "Of course if I did object to it I don't suppose I could do anything about it. I might stop and get run down, but that wouldn't do any good. 'It's always so foolish to run down and get out of order. It takes such a long time to get fixed again." "One would think," said the livingroom clock, "that you were a doctor or a trained nurse or something like that, Instead of being a hall clock." "Why?" asked the hall clock. "Well, all U»at chatter about getting run down and out of order," said the living-room clock, "sounded to rae like a doctor or a trained nurse or a person giving advice." "That's all because you hear the people talking about their illnesses in the living room," said the hall clock. "I spoke In the correct way for a clock to speak. But I must tell you what strikes me as being funny." "Oh, yes," said the living-room clock, "you must tell me. We don't want to end off talking about something different from what we started with." "Well, It wouldn't have mattered so ranch If we bad finished it right away and then gone on to talk of something else. We have finished the first thing we were talking about," said the hall Clock. "It strikes me as being very* funny when I hear the people talk about their figures. It seems that each person has one figure, and s figure means a person's shape.

Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only onefourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect on the price. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means a profit of $5.00 a ton. The comparison does nor point out that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton of beef of fair quality is worth about $400.00 wholesale. To carry the comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal is 3½ P^ c e n t °f m ^ $7.00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only 1¼ per cent of the $400.00 value. The profit has little effect on price in either case, but has leas effect on the price of beef than on the price of coal. Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it ia highly perishable and must be refrigerated. Coal is handled by the carload or ton; beef is delivered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is handled in open cars; beef must be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature. Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift ft Company, fairness to the packing industry, demands that these indisputable facts be conaidered. It is impossible to disprove Swift ft Company's statement, that its profits on beef are so small as to have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company, U. S: A.

" T H E R,EL> a41T ••" " GIVE UNTIL IT FEELS GOOD President Has Asked The People Of This Country To Comply With The Request Of The United War Board. Cash and highest price pafd for eggs and poultry delivered at the Michigan Is ready and waiting lor the opening gun of the United War Work Campaign to be fired on the morning of November 11. Thousands of workers throughout the state are on their toes and prepared to see that Michigan stands out a« a shining light among her sister states:-- It is this campaign which is the test of true patriotism; in which some slight sacrifice can be made for the boys who are fighting our battles in the trenches. The seven great, accredited war relief, agenciea , —Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., K. of C., Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army, American Library Association and the War Camp Community Service-— have called upon' the American people for $250,000,000 with which to carry on their work of relief. President Wilson has asked that the people of this country comply with this request. Give, Give, Give until it feels good. It has been said that "it is better to give than receive." In this case those who give will receive the greatest reward, that of satisfaction in having helped to comfort some mother's son who nas gone through the horrors of a bloody battle. The purchasing of Liberty Bonds is a patriotic duty, but there is io samiaoo for J t * ure receiving a high rate of Interest on your money. The boys in the trenches are making the GREATEST SACRIFICE. During the week of November 11 every man, woman and child in the state will be offered an opportunity and priviledge of making a monetary sacrifice. And, how little that is in comparison with the offer of the boys to give up their lives. Do not be a slacker. Back up the boys over there. They* deserve It. If the solicitor does not approach you seek him out, for thLV is an opportunity and a priviledge you cannot afford to miss. ' !

WALLACE IS SURPRISED TO RECEIVE A STRANGE SUMMONS FROM MRS. KENSON. Synopsis.—Lieut. Mark Wallace, U. S. A., ts wounded at the battle of Santiago. While wandering alone In the jungle he comes across a dead man In a hut outside of which a little girl Is playing. When he is rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and announces his intention of adopting her. His commanding officer, Major Howard, tell htm that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor, who sold department secrets to an international gang in Washington and was detected by himself and Kellerman, an officer In the same office. Howard pleads to be allowed to send the child home to his wife and they agree that she shall never know- her father's shame. Several years later Wallace visits Eleanor at a young ladles* boarding school. She gives him a pleasant shock by declaring that when she. is eighteen she intends to marry him. More years pass and Wallace remains In the West. At the outbreak of the European war Colonel Howard calls Wallace to a staff post in Washington. He finds Eleanor there, also Kellerman, 'in whom he discerns an antagonist. For years a strange man has haunted Eleanor's footsteps, following but never accosting her. One night Wallace sees the man and follows him to a gambling house kept by a Mrs. Kenson. Here the ttrange man is attacked by Kellerman. Wallace rescues him and take* nira to his own apartment. In the night the man. who gave his name as Hartley, disappears. The next day Wallace Is called from his office ana on his return finds important documents missing. His resignation 16 requested. »I«-«MV» CHAPTER VtlI—Continued. "Ah, now I recognize you," said the strange voice in a merry ripple of laughter. "And you don't know who I amf' "If you will state your name—" began Mark patiently. "Someone who knows that you are in trouble and wants to help you. I'm afraid you won't let me. You seemed to be prejudiced against me when we met before. Well, I am Ada Kenson." Mark uttered an angry exclamation, which he Instantly checked. This might prove the key that he was seeking. "Come to my house at nine o'clock tonight, unless you are afraid. You will meet nobody but me." It had been In Mark's mind to look for Hartley in that ^neighborhood. "What do you say, Captain Wallace"? I can help you very much Indeed, and perhaps put things right for yon. I am in a position to know a good deal of what is happening behind - the scenes." Mark felt his brain grow as cool as ice. "I'll come, Mrs. Kenson," be answered crisply, and hung up the receiver. He consoled himself with the reflection that he had, at least, nothing to lose. Me waited calmly for the appointment* and arrived outside the hon.se promptly. There was no sign of Hartley in the neighborhood. At bis ring Mrs. Kenson herself opened the door, smiled, and showed him into a well-furnished little parlor. "Sit down. Captain Wallace," she said, indicating* chair. "You'll wonder who I am and why I asked yon to come here," skid Mrs. Kenson. "Well, I happen to know quite a good deal about yon, Captain Wallace. All your history, In fact, from the time yon entered West Point- It is part of my business to know these things.* Mark bowed and waited, expecting vent America from being dragged Into this maelstrom." continued Mrs. Kenson. "You. Captain Wallace, were unfortunate enough to he working on the other side. And—I'm sorry, but a little trap was laid for yon and Kellerman. You walked right into it. Major Kellerman, who is a very good friend of mine, acted in complete good faith. Don't blame him. Don't blame yourself. Don't blame that wretched fellow who came here the other night to blackmail me. It was inevitable. You see, when yon adopted Hampton's •daughter you unconsciously put a sort of noose about your neck. There was the possibility of your coming Into contact with Hampton's friends. The system is widespread, you know, and quite twenty years old. So-»you had to go west. "Now, Captain Wallace, I'm a frank woman, and 1*11 put my proposition to you. You donl want to see Major Kellerman walk off with that pretty ward of yours, do you? And you can't marry her without a little money. Well, you could be very useful to ns in many ways. Would you, without sacrificing your patriotism or revealing any secrets, become a salaried worker of our organization?" Mark stood up, trembling. "I—don't quite understand," he said huskily; and the picture of Eleanor in Kellerman's anas at the dance swam before his eyes. "What is it yon want me to d o r "Use your influence and army knowledge in oor behalf. That little affair of today will soon be forgotten. And we'll help yon to put Kellerman oat of business." "You ask me to become a German spyr "Don't be absurd, my dear captain. Who ever suggested such a thingT* •That's what It amounts to.* "A little Influence on behalf of humanity." "Nor shouted Mirk, quite beside the door of the house, splintering i t Again the cries broke out "Try again 1" muttered Hartley in desperation. "There's a door into the empty house next door, through the ..cellar. The police don't know of it You must get away. You must get away!" Mark tried again, and this time managed to rise. Hartley caught Mark by the arm and guided his unsteady footsteps to the door. They gained the passage, and Hartley guided Mnrk toward the head of the basement steps, which they reached just as the front door fell 1» under the hatchets of the raiders. They scuttled down the stairs as the hall became filled with the shouting policemen. Before the first of the raiders set his foot upon the stone stairs Hartley had found a door in the darkness, opened it, and pushed Mark through, following immediately. He shut the door softly behind him. They were in the basement of the adjoining house.. "We're safe now," said Hartley in a whisper. "You'd better rest, Captain Wallace." "You're Hartley," mutteredV Mark, sitting down and trying in vain to discern something of the other's face through the gloom. "What happened, and how did you come on the scene?" "Good Cod forgive me!" moaned Hartley, suddenly breaking into hysterical sobbing, as on the former night "I've ruined you. Captain Wallace. What else could I do?" "So you were in that plot, eh?" asked Mark, wondering that he felt so little anger. "Well, it was clear enough, but it doesn't mntter now." "It matters everything," answered Hartley, in a vehement whisper. "They tricked me into it. I didn't know what something sensational He was aston- ^ ¾ 8 6 ^ / ¾ ¾ lufwnoua.

Ha heard, though he felt no pain, the. impact of a hard weapon upon the back of his head. He flung oat his hands'and grappled with a man. In the uplifted hand he felt a heavy stick with a knobbed handle. He bettered bis assailant to be Kellerman, and. half unconscious as he was, he fought madly.

"What more do you know T "I knew that they wouldn't be satis* fled with that sir. They—" "One moment Who Is they,' Hart* hsyr "They:" repeated Hartley vindictively. "Those devils that make pawns or men. They meant to clinch their dirty work one way or another. They meant to buy you, after ruining you, and fashion yon to their dirty work. If they couldn't do that they were going to—" "Murder me?" "No, sir. Discredit you so that nothing you could say would ha listened to. "That's what they meant to do. It was I who was told to give the tip to the police that there was gambling here. They thought the place wt* closed—and it was. But they wanted the police to And you here, and arrest llyou, so that the story might get late the newspapers, and finish you—finish sou with the war department and with lie heard the man catch ut hi* breath. "She wasn't your wife, Hartley?" "No, Captuln Wallace, no!" "But she has a hold on you strong enough to compel you to do such work as she requires. And yet you have tried to save roe dishonor—If any raorv could come to me." "You saved me, Captain Wallace l" Mark made.a sound of Incredulity. "And I have been a gentleman. You don't know how a man falls, Captain Wallace." "Hartley, you haven't answered my question. Now here's another. Why were you watching Colonel Howard's house the other night?" "You know that?" "I followed yon here. Tell me the whole truth about this business, and I'll stand by you to the end." T i l trust you—to the limit—but I won't tell you, Captain Wallace. Some day, perhaps, but not now. I'll stand by you, and n i fight at your side, sir. But I won't tell you. And that's the only condition on which I can agree to what you propose." "And if we succeed—?' "Not Mf,' but 'when'." cried Hartley, with a sudden outburst of conviction. "'Ill tell you then—yes. Captain Wallace. And til! then we'll fight together to pull down this nest of conspiracy and prove your innocence to the world." After a moment he added, "T think we'd better be making n move out of here, Captain Wallace!" He pushed open the cellar door and led Mark along the bnsement passage until a gleam of moonlight appenred In front of them. They emerged into a little garden, a repllcn of the one next door. There waft no policeman on guard. In a moment they were in the street and In safety. Mnrk. M'ho had already recovered from the effects of his blow, save for a splitting headache, took n car with Hartley, and half an hour later the two were again In Mark's moms. "So you were packing?" asked Hartley, looking about him. "What were you going to do?" "I don*t know." answered Mnrk. "It's queer, being broken like this—I've nothing, no prospects, only a little money. I have to earn a living." "It'll be the nrmy." said Hartley. "You'd he a sergeant In no time; you'd run through the ranks in about a couple of years. And then you've won. You've conquered fortune. And, you're in a position to do a little quiet working to straighten out your tangle and run down the Kenson gang. And then I'll help you. for when the time comes I can tell what I know. At present I can't I'm waiting—" He burst Into an expletive, and his face was twisted with anguish. The man seemed under the stress of some overpowering; emotion. "And how about vour own part Ir this affair, Hartleyr The man winced as If Mark had struck him. Mark put out his hand, took Hartley's, and shook it warmly. "You're right. Hartley." he said quietly. T m ready to sink ray name, then, and well go in together as comrades, and by Heaven well set thi whole crooked business rtght!" CHAPTER X. "Weston! Hey, there!" Mark, who was sitting at the en trance of the tent which he shared with five other privates of the Medical corps, looked up at the sound of the name to which be had grown accus> totmed. At the sight of the corporal who had hailed htm, he flung down the grooved strip of metal, known aa the "soldier's friend," with the aid of which he had been polishing his buttons, and hurried obediently forward. "The train's In from the base with the sisters and doctors to meet the convoy that we're expecting from the front -Every man's on duty until the job's finished. Beport to the matron with Hartley." Mark nodded, and departed at a rut toward the door of the base hospital, at which the matron, fidgeting Imps tientiy, was awaiting the assembling of the orderlies. It wss war, and the echoes of the far distant guns were all about them daily, though war had never that way.

Streets Resound With Cheera for Yanks' Commander When Girl Discovers Him in Passing Auto. • Paris.—All Paris paid a noisy tribat « to Gen. John J. Pershing when the crowds in the streets espied the American commander passing In his automobile. It is estimated that at least Ifty thousand persons crowded about the general's car, while naif a million more Jammed the Place de la Concorde and adjacent streets In a mad effort to get a glimpse of the American leader. The general was out for a short drive and had come up the Rue Rlvoll. His car was proceeding at a snail's pace before It was recognized by the frenzied street crowds. As General i ershlng's face, with the famous smile, showed through the door, a French girl with the flags of half a dozen nations twined about her head screamed, "General Pershing!" The cry was taken up instantly and passed over the seething multitudes. If there were any gendarmes about they were Bwallowed up in the enormous mob. In an Instant men and women went mad and screamed his name, and all tried to reach the car. Men picked up women and held them on their shoulders that they might get a look at the geieral. The mob surged toward the car in another wave. Shakes Hands of Children. General Pershing amidst the danger was enjoying It greatly. Instead of closing the window and urging the driver to get out before they were crushed ;o death, he let the window down full length, laughed heartily, and thrust his hand out of the door to shake the hand of a little French child whose proud father lifted her above the heads of the mob. Children climbed on the tonneau and shinned up the back of the limousine and frantically leaped over the struggling mass and shot their hands In at the window. General Pershing continued laughing and tried to shake as many hands as could be thrust through the window. "Pershing! Pershing!" bellowed the mob, and the name rang from the Seine to the Rue Royale, up the Champs Elysees, and through the Tuileries gardens. Efforts to Clear Way Fall. French officers who had been caught up In the human maelstrom saluted and then endeavored to have the mob give way. As if by common impulse the masses seemed to understand that the great American general w a s In danger, and with a craning of heads and the screams of women and children a slight rift was made directly ahead of the car. Then by less than a snail'sl pace the car with frantic snorts edged along, inch by Inch. The cheering was indescribable. Along the boulevards the name df Pershing was taken up by.thousands who probably did not know that Pershing was in their midst, and at one moment it seemed that all Paris was shouting. By this time the inside of Pershing's car resembled, a flag shop. The children who were raised over the heads of the frantic populace tossed small flags and flowers through the window and the grownups tore the inslgpia from thehr coats and tossed It in. General Pershing was "laughing hard and waving his hand back at the children, but»stlll the flag and floral offerings poured In until he was half buried beneath the bunting, flngg, buttons, Insignia, and crushed blossoms. Moves Inch by Inch. Inch by Inch the car moved and then halted several minutes as the mob surged back against It. It was the car he had used over the battlefield of France and was built for rough usage, else it seems It mjlst have crushed lik« an egg Rbell. Finally the car edged out of the Place de la Concorde into the Champs Elysees, but still the mob, with hatsT off, krtns in air, and months wldejjpen, shouting like mad, surged about htm. It was several minutes otore before the car could be extricated and n. semblance of a read made, Even then, as the car got away up the great aveuce toward the Are de Trloraph, thousands.ran-after it. All Parts seemed to be rambling with a mighty noise and over the mighty noise sounded, clear and strong, "Vive Pershing r Troops Hi England First Home.

I o n d w —There has Just been seen the greatest navul surrender which the world has ever witnessed. A great fleet of German battleships, battle cruisers, and light cruisers and destroyers left port for un unknown destination. They were met by the British fleet, accompanied by American and French representatives, and conducted to their destination. A Berlin telegram received In Amsterdam gives this list of the vessels comprising the best of the German navy that were to be handed over: Battleships—Kaiser, Kaiserin, Konig Albrecht, Kronprinz Wilhelm, Prinz Regent Luitpold, Markgraf. Grosser Kurfurst, Bayern, Konlg Friedrlch der Grosse. Battle* cruisers—HIndenburg, Derfflinger, Seldlltz, Moltke, Von der Tann. Light cruisers—Bremen. Bruramer, Frankfurt, Kolin, Dresden, Emden. Germany has been stripped of at least half of the fleet of dreadnaughts which It had In commission or building when war began, and of practically all of its bottle cruisers. Yanks in Triumphal March. With the American Army of Occupation.— The American army of occupation, which is moving forward steadily over the territory evacuated by the retiring Germans, is being received with wild demonstrations of joy by the residents of the towns which are now being liberated after more than four years of German rule. When the American troops entered Briey, the heart of the Lothrlngtan Iron fields, they passed under triumphal arches that had been hurriedly erected by the people of the town, and the streets through which they passed were bedecked with flags. On one arch through which the Americans passed- was a homemade American flag four feet in length, flanked by the French colors. The flag, which had been made by three French girls, had eleven stars rind seven red and white stripes. At Lit. Leger, as the advance units of the Americans entered the town, the church bells were rung and the mayor and his wife stood In front of their home to welcome the officers and correspondents, who were Invited to become the mayor's guests. Wom- < n, children and aged men crowded about the soldiers, embracing them and presenting them with flowers. Similar scenes were enacted as the Americans reached Virton, Longwy, Audun, La Romain and other towns evacuated by the Germans. Everything moves smoothly as the American forces proceed toward the Rhine. Some 200,000 men, with their supplies, guns and ammunition, must be moved along three main roads from-railheads that get farther behin< each day. The job Is one that would tax the abilities of the quartermaster of any army. Fraga Flutter-Over British. With the British Armies.—Innumer- , able, flags fluttered over the heads oi the British troops as they moved for ward and started on their march to the Rhine. The cavalrymen had their own guidons and some of them rode with French and Bnlgian flags sticking out of their boots and fastened to their bridles. The gunners had flags on their limbers and the axles of their wagons; their steel traces were polished brightly, as though for a military tournament, and their steel helmets were shining. They had spent many hours in •'salt And polish'* "since the day of the armistice, so they should look well on the road to the Rhine. The advancing troops met thousands of civilians who were coming home after years of exile. As the soldiers went forward the homecoming civilians halted to wavo flags at them, astounded, it seemed, by the smart ness of the men whoTafter four y e a n of war, rode out, spick and span from helmet to spur, on fine horses, well fed and groomed, in sharp contrast to the sorry-looking German horseflesh.

New York.—Demobilization of the millions of men placed under arms to fight the world war presents a problem to the nations engaged such as has never before confronted any oation in the world. The man in the street who, having read of the armistice and plans for the peace conference, comfortably dismisses the war from his mind as something finished, has another guess coming. It is far more dimcult to wind up a war than to start one on its way- Many months—in all probability, or even two years—will elapse before the hundreds of thousands of Americans who put on khaki to fight Uncle Sam's battles are restored to their homes, despite the fact that Germany and her three accomplices have been ground into the dust and left with absolutely no more stomach for fighting the Americana and their" doughty allies. Police Needed In Europe. Th'ere are, according to the latest reports, about 2,200,000 American soldiers in Europe. Repatriation of this enormous army, even under the best of conditions, would be a gigantic task. But it is becoming increasingly probable that all sorts of elements will contribute toward complicating conditions and delaying the return home of our legions. First, the danger of anarchy in the Central powers and of continued trouble in Russia is so threatening that it is more than likely that a large fraction of our forces abroad— some say as many as 1,000,000—will have to remain in. Europe for an indefinite period after conclusions of peace, co-operating with troops of our Allies as a sort of international police, keeping law and order and saving Europe from plunging into hideous chaos. Huge Ship Fleet Needed. Second, there is the question of transportation. It has. been stated that our troops could be brought home at the rate of from 250,000 to 300,000 a month, if all were as it should be. But—and this is a very hig but indeed— an enormous tonnage of shipping will be required for months o* come for taking food to those countries which are menaced with actual famine as a result of the horrible condition into which more than four years of war have plunged them. Third, there is the question of the re-absorption, without undue friction, of the huge numbers of men now under arms into tho normal activities of the United States and the other nations which have been waging war. Jt has been announced .from Washington that the demobilization of the armed forces of the United States will proceed largely in proportion as the "trades .and occupations on this side of, the water are in a position to take them back.

Beans! Do you know them? Boston baked! Red beans on toast! Or just beans. Home and foreign consumption of beans has increased rapidly in the past few years. The war has piven thousands of Europeans their first taste of real "Yankee pork and beans." This "bean habit" will linger] und beans will become a necessity on the European bill of fare, as It has on the American. Possibly no other cultivated crop offers a quicker or larger cash return than does the field bean. In the past, bean growing has been confined to comparatively small areas, but growers have found out that there are varieties adapted to growth in most every section of the country. While beans have been looked upon by some as a "poor land crop," theyi do best on a fertile soil that is neither extremely light and open nor too heavy and compact. The bean is a legume, capable by virtue of its root structure, j mon. of taking nitrogen from the air, but owin^ to its brief growing soason the nitrogen-gathering bacteria on the roots have but a .short space of time in which.to fix nitrogen. Fertilizers used on beans should supply, nitrogen as well as phosphoric acid and potash. The rapid growth and early maturity secured through the use of fertilizers are also valuable in enabling the crop to escape rust, blights or early fronts. ANOTHER AMEffiGMI CON- fvallabfe On t U T t e * we would nilCCT e a I>r °du cti°n ot approximately y u t ^ » 75,000 tons of available potash each year. Since only about 50 per cent of tfie potash in the raw material is ordinarily volatillzed*ln the process of making cement, as handled at present, there is a prospect of still further quantities to be made available from this source. The present high prices of -potash are encouraging installation of collecting apparatus and when once installed the cost of potash recovery is small. POTASH HUNGER OF POTATOES Throughout all of the principal potato- growing sections of the East there is growing evidence of the effect of back of potash on potatoes. First this hunger for potash was made apparent by decreased yields. Virginia, Maine, New Jersey and New York have found that they cannot grow potatoes as well as they could five or six years ago. Potatoes don't set as well, tubers don't till out, and disease is more com- CANNON AND CROPS CONSUME THE SAME MATERIALS Wartime Conditions Thre: izer Supply. :n Fertil p:very cannon crash and every bursting bomb on the battlefields of Europe | uses up important fertilizer materials. A single skirmish may consume more potential plant food than would be required to feed the fields of an entire township, and the quantities burned up during a real bombardment are tremendous. Lust year more than 000,- 0O0 tens of nitrate went to make explosives in the United States alone. Millions of tons of sulphuric acid were likewise consumed, I-'e-tilizei's and warfare bear a most intimate and most sensitive relation-' ship.

The farmer's tools of produnion heroine of importance sec-, ond only to tlm n< eds of the army it- >'af. Yet v, lam Ma r> is the arbiter tin «prefei'e!;re mi materials must goto the soldier rather than to toe farmer. This accounts for the shortage of! materials from which fertilizers are made. | But nuw a new danger threatens the spring fertilizer supply. The labor supply has failed. The needs of the munition plants and the shipyards have been so great as to seriously draitf~T:he fertilizer factories. Manyplar\ ts h a \ e lost 30 to 40 per cent of theii) labor) and there is no prospect for Improvement by next spring. ' In normal times spring fertilizers are turned out by working the fac- \ taries at high speed during the late winter and early spring months. Onlyi half as many laborers are employed in! November and December as in Febru-! ary and March. j With the present difficulty of getting laborers, it can be seen how remote is'. the chance of speeding up to double production next spring. There Is only J one way to get out the fertilizer t o n - nage needed for next year's crops, and' that is to start in now and run every] factory ns best it may every day from now until spring. Rut manufacturing every day must rnenn shipping every day. Fertilizer factories do not have and cannot get storage space for this tremendous hulk of goods. Finished goods must be loaded directly on the cars and shipped to the consumer. Here is where the farmer must help. He mnst place his order immediately and iu eopt immediate shipment. In no other way can the problem be solved. Potato specialists, who have been studying the matter, say that most of the trouble is due- to the lack of potash in the potato fertilizer. They also say that the new diseases of potatoes which have been so common for the past two years are nothing more than "Potash Hunger." The Phoma stem blight, which was so common in 1918 along the Eastern seaboard, has been definitely traced down to malnutrition due to lack of potash. The disease is made apparent by a bronzing of the foliage followed by a premature collapse of the entire plant. Specialists in Washington soy that using potash fertilizer will remove the cause of the trouble, and advise farmers to buy fertilizer containing 2 to 3 per cent of potash for use nest year. • MAKING AN ACRE PRODUCE MORE PORK In these days when every acre mustbe made to produce its utmost, the re-! suits with fertilizers at the Ohio agricultural experiment station are most interesting. Translating corn yields into terms of work, it was found that where no fertilizer of any kind was used, an acre of corn would produce about 282 pounds of pork; where manure was used on the corn land, 457 pounds of pork were produced; and where fertilizer was applied in addition to manure, an acre of corn produced 552 pounds of work. On most farms manure Is lacking and more dependence must be placed upon the commercial forms of fertilizer. All who expect to use fertilizer next spring should place their orders not later than November. Wartime conditions make it necessary to order far in advance. LABOR SHORTAGE THREATENS PRODUCTION CAN AMERICA PRODUCE HER OWN POTASH? The Fertilizer Industry Hard Hit bj the War. The supply ,of fertilizer for 191* spring sown crops is threatened bj shortage of labor in the fertilizer factories. This fact,is of particularly serious import to the potato farmers oi the country, for the great potato sections are coming more and more to depend on fertilizer for the economical production of this crop. Thus it happens that the very factor which prevents factories running to full capacity also has effect in preventing farmers from using their own depleted farm labor supply to best advantage. Labor cannot be used to advantage on those fields whirh can give but half a crop. The fertilizer industry is normally n seasonal industry. Abou* the first of February the factories are normally in full blast, producing fertilizer for use on spring crops. Then they "die down'* Mgain for a period of several months in late spring and carry summer. This requires a large floating supply of labor, a supply which has largely been oaten up by demands of the shipyards and munition factories. TransiVn-lng the industry from a sensonal basis to a full 12 months' operating basis will certainly be economical of labor. The factories can then work at somewhat diminished daily OHpncity for more weeks in the year, and in this way get out the necessary tonnage. It can't be -done- at once, j* however, because factories do not have j storage space enough to allow of this. Goods must be shipped out almost as t -v - - • ' ) • : ) New light is thrown on this interesting question by facts and figures contained iu a recent publication of the bureau of soils of the United States department of agriculture- Bulletin No. 572 gives a careful analysis of the probable potash supply to be had from the cement Industry when apparatus for its recovery fast as they nre made—so that the has been universally installed. On the basis of an average production of 90,000,000 bnrrels of cement the total potash escaping at present amounts to about 87,000 tons annually. It has b«en demonstrated commercial- ' thtft 96 per cent of thl* pota«h 1« from the car on arrival, much may be recoverable and experiments show done to help insure a sufficient rapplj that «5 per cent of this amount Is In tot next s p r i n g business.

While wandering alone in the jungle he conies across a dead man in a hut outside of which a little gtrl Is playing. When Jne la rescued he takes the girl to the hospital and announces his Intention of adopting her. His commanding officer-Major rfJoward, tells him that the dead man was Hampton, a traitor, who sold department secrets to an international gang In Washington and was detected by himself and Kelleruian, an officer in the same office.

Mrs. Kenson asks Wallace to become a spy for the International gang. He refuses and is clubbed as be Is leaving the house* Hartley rescues him. ^ S i u CHAPTER X—Continued. Under the name of Weston, Mark had enlisted in the medical branch of the 8erviee. It was a lowly branch, •despised by those who knew nothing of its activities. But the choice had been between that and nothing, foe the first fighting contingents to be sent overseas embraced only the regulars, not those of the draft Mark had enlisted rather than watt especially since lie knew that Colonel Howard, with KeHerman and his staff, were already in France* And somewhere within a few square miles was the base of the American activities, the headquarters from which the mobilisation in France was being directed. "Hurry up to the surgical ward J* said the matron, as Mark reached her. "And you, too, Hartley," she added. The two men scrambled up the stairs. At the opposite end of the building, an old converted chateau, the convoy had halted. Other orderlies were carrying out the stretchers with their living, mangled burdens. A group of the newly arrived doctors -and nurses was- coming up the stairs. They were all ready for their work. Mark no longer saw anything but the wounded men. Dripping with perspiration, he hurried from the ward to the pack store And back, Innumerable times, struggling under great piles of towels and bedding. "Must have been a stiff fight," panted Hartley, as they passed each, other. Mark responded with a movement of the head,- It most have been a fight to have brought all those serious cases down to the base hospital. * "Weston, you're to-go into the operating room r The nurse who addressed him spoke as to a servant "Yes,. Sister^ he answered, and braced his shoulders and hurried to obey. ..'..•„ ..,- The patient already etherised, had been brought in. Markv -watching the patient narrowly as the surgeon probed the wound, knew nothing bat his task until toe surgeon nudged htm familiar* ly in the aide while one of the nurses was sponging his forehead. "I know your face, orderly," he said. . "Where was it?** Mark started and looked Into the I onisstcal fray eyes of one of the army doctors from an Arisons town, whom he had dined at the mess. "I think you are mistaken, sir," he answered quietly. The surgeon searched bis face, and, like a decent man, admitted his error. "Another poor devil gone down,* he thought as he turned to his work. There were three mere operations following, and Mark sighed with rOUef as the last ma* was carried away.

"On, Captain Mark!" she whispered, Mark felt himself beginning to shake; fate seemed to have played a wretched trick on htm just then. "Why, Captain Mark! Why—why did you do this?" asked Eleanor. "Hey,Weston I" called his fellow orderly from the door of the sterilizing room; and then, seeing him with the sister, withdrew. "Tou heard my nameT* asked Mark. "I heard it' Captain Mark. Won't you tell me what it means, what it all means V "What it all meansr* he repeated vaguely, wondering at the concern on her face. "Why you disappeared as you did from Washington. I knew that you had applied for leave of absence, because you had overworked In the~hot weather. But you — never came back." Her voice broke Into a sob. "The Colonel didn't think it strange. He wouldn't admit that there was any reason, except that you must have gone back to your regiment Did you and he quarrel, Captain Mark? It's unthinkable. I could learn nothing about you, but Major KeHerman had said you were tired of the work and might have got some appointment out of the service. Their tales were conflicting. And you weren't on the army list any more. Won't you tell me, just because—you know—because—" Mark could hardly restrain his feeling. 'Til tell you," said Mark, raising his eyes. "I was accused of treachery, of betraying secrets to enemies of my country—w Eleanor laughed in a little, mirthless voice. "You're still the same, Uncle Mark," she whispered. "Did yon think I would believe thatf "It was not true," cried Mark, nettied and, desperate. "But it was found that I frequented gambling houses—H . ?You are so fond of money, Uncle Markr* "I wanted money* Tou were rich, and I wanted your esteem. I wanted to move In your circles, to win your favor, as others could—'* She gasped and grew red; he saw that his arrow had gone home, and went on pitilessly. "When I was at your reception yon had smiles for everyone.** ••That's enough, Captain Wallace," she said, with an Indrawn breath. "Tou insulted me the last time we met, you know, or probably have forgotten. I— I see that mil my thoughts of yon were wrong. I was always s burden. And when-yon didn't write so many years, and when yon didn't come to see me, I thought—oh, n i tell yon now, since yon have humiliated me as deeply as it is posatWe to humiliate a woman..

The recognition was mutual and instantaneous. Kellerman's surprise was changing into a sneering challenge When Eleanor turned, saw the newcomer, and, with a superb effort of will, smiled at him. "So I see you got here, Sister Howard," said Kellermun, with a forced laugh. "Just in time," answered the girl. "Have you come to order us all up to the trenches?" "Some of you, but not the ladles. No, I'm attending the General on his tour of inspection of the lines." The talk grew Indistinct as they drifted away. Mark, staring after them in a stupor, saw KeHerman nod toward him, and fancied that the girl made a gesture of pleading. Neither had noticed him. He reflected savagely that already Eleanor was coming to take hfs status for granted, as the other sisters did. ™* ^^*^^"^ ^ '•^^^^T- ^^^BgtmewBnvsHgem awns CHAPTER XI. By evening the rush of work had died down, and the orderlies, save those on duty, were given the customary leave. Leave meant Etaples, with Its comfortable little inn, the chatty landlady and her pretty daughter. Mark strode toward Etaples. He had an intense longing for the lights and comfort of the little inn. But he had not gone more than a hundred paces when Hartley hailed him. "Going into Etaples?" be asked. "Do you mind my going with you?" "Frankly, yes, Hartley," answered Mark. "Tou won't mind my saying so? I want to be alone after—" "I know, old man," said Hartley, drawing back. "Sorry if I bothered you." But Mark swung round on him. "Hartley, answer me one question," he said. "What has Miss Howard ever had to do with you? Why have you been watching her for six or seven years?" Hartley began to walk along the road at Mark's side. He made a curious gulping sound before he answered. "Has It occurred to you, Mark, that the Kenson woman has been operating in Washington for a good time now?" he asked. "I suppose so," Mark answered. "Tou know everything was prepared for years before the war began. The system had ramlf cations in every department of the government Tou know Colonel Howard was in touch wifn it as far back as the Cuban war?" "Good Lord, yes, but—" "And a man is only a pawn In such a game. Good God, don't question me, Mark I I've-been a tool of hers, but I'll swear that I never worked against the government I learned little by little of the whole accursed nest of spies. I obeyed their orders because— well, I can't tell you now—but I worked against them too. I've done them more barm than good. I had my motives— selfish ones, despicable, perhaps; but I was never a traitor. Good God, Mark, haven't you seen how your faith in me has begun .to make a man of me?" Mark took Hartley's hand and gripped It It was the best and the only possible answer. In their tacit understanding they went on toward the Inn together. Outside the Inn they saw an auto, with a soldier chauffeur In charge. Hartley gripped Mark's arm. "Do you know whose that IsT he whispered. "Kellerman's r The landlady came to the door. "Bonsolr. messieurs," she said smiling. 'This way tonight if yon please.*' She led them round by the side, into .the kitchen, where they found half a dosen privates drinking tight wine and teasing the landlady's daughter as she served them. There was nothing in this to the men; they were often turned out of the dining room-parlor wnen officers pot in an appearance. Bat—this was KeHerman I Mark looked at Hartley and saw intense excitement on his face, which he was trying most evidently to "She is one of my countrywomen. The accent is of the south, or aome.outlandish part, but she is French—and she has come u long way to meet him, and he will not have anything to do with her. How did she get through the lines?" "Who", Annette r "The lady with the Araerleuu officer. Listen, monsieur! Listen, then !" They were standing in front of the outhouse, which was set near an angle of the old-fashioned building between the parlor, and the kitchen. They could hear the imploring voice of the woman, and the subdued answers of KeHerman. Then, elusive against the dark angle of the building, Mark perceived Hartley. He was standing under the high sill of the window, in such a way that Mark thought he could see through the chink between the sill and the lower edge of the blind. Eavesdropping as he evidently was, Mark felt that something justified his presence there. Annette perceived him at the same moment. She started, and then shrugged her shoulders. "Eh blen, monsieur, it is their af- 'falr!" she said lightly, and went into the outhouse. She was too wise to interfere with her customers. Mark hardly noticed her departure. He was watching Hartley. Suddenly the door opened and the woman came down the steps that led into the little vineyard behind the inn. She raised her heavy veil to dab a handkerchief at her eyes, and at that moment Mark recognized Mrs. Kenson. He remained rooted to the ground in astonishment. But it was more than that; he felt suddenly trapped, as if the woman's presence there was vitally connected with his own problems, as if he were the victim of some far-reaching scheme with which he could not grapple. A minute later KeHerman appeared and stood upon the step above her, looking into her upturned face with his habitual sneer. "It Is all over then?" asked Mrs. Kenson.

Girls! Try this! Doubles beauty of your hair in a few moments. Within ten minutes after an application of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please yeu most will be after a few weeks' use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yea—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. A little Danderine Immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and •craggy, Jqst moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through youi hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre, softness and luxuriance. Get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine for a few cents at any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any —that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment—that's all—you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it If you will Just try a little Danderine.— Adv. * Large Fumigating Houses.

Bouse and Qen. Tasker B. Bliss. "It was explained that It had not been possible to announce these appointments before because the number of representatives each of the chief belligerents was to send had, until a day or two ago, been under discussion." Bliss* Name a Surprise. The only surprise In the announcement was the selection of Gen. Tasker B.

For several days it had been gen* erally understood that the Republican member of the delegation would be Mr. White. That Secretary Lansing and Colonel Bouse would be the other members had been unofficially admitted. White Long In Service. Henry White, long In diplomatic service, was the American ambassador to France during President Roosevelt*s administration. His diplomatic service began In 1883, when he served for two years as secretary to the American legation at Vienna. He was trans* ferred to London In 1884 as second secretary of the American legation and in 1886 he was made secretary to the legation there, being recalled by President Cleveland In 1893. During his career he also served the government In special diplomatic capacities, representing the United States at the International conference in London, 1887-88, for the abolition of sugar bounties. He was a delegate from the United Stntes to the international conference on agriculture at Rome in 1905, and also was the American delegate to the International conference on Moroccan affairs at Algedras. From March, 1905, to March, 1907, Mr. White was the American ambassador to Italy, leaving that important post to become the ambassador to France, where he remained until December, 1909.

An International Service Built on Tiny Profits Per Potmd Some industries have been able to get in step with war demands more quickly than others. In many cases mighty plants have sprung up—but at a prodigious cost The packing industry was able to adapt itself to unheard of demands more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. And this was because the vast equipment of packing plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc., had been gradually developed to its present state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour it became a mighty international system for war service. And how had this development taken place? Not by making vast inroads into the capital wealth of the country, but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to provide for expansion. Swift ft Company's profits have always been so tiny, compared with sales, that they have had practically no effect on the price of meat (amounting »o only a fraction of a cent per pound). And yet the owners of the business have been content with reasonable returns on their capital, and have been able, year after year, to put part of the profits back into the business to provide lor Its expansion. These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to to the public many fold in the form of better service, and better and cheaper meat, and made it possible for Swift ft Company to meet, undaunted, the sudden cry for meat for o vi Could any other method of financing s vital industry involve teas hardship to the people of the country?

PLANNED EX-KAISER'S RETURN Aaitatien Waa Well Financed Kruppa and Other Munitions Barons Having Invested Sums of Money. Amsterdam.—The German revolutionary government, according to estimates made "by the Berlin correspondent of the Cologne Volka Zeitung, has spent $200,000,000 In the last three weeks. The newspaper declarea a storm of Tehemence haa hurst against corruption in Berlin which, "it U hoped, will sweep away the dishonest rabble." The newspaper continues: "Unless resolute resistance is offered the country win be precipitated into terrible misfortune. All that can now be done for healthy regions is for them to take affairs in their own hands. On the Rhine and on the Danube there exists strong resolve to do this." Comaplracy Plot Nipped. London.—A gigantic Prussian plot to jail the whole present German government and establish a provisional government under Field Marshal von Mackensen has been nipped in the bud by the Ebert government, the Daily Express learns form its Amsterdam correspondent. "Wire tapping" by Bbert's secret service operatives led to discovery of the plot It waa thla discovery that gave rise to report a few days ago a counter-revolution led by Influential generals, including von Arnim, had broken out. It appears the conspiracy waa frustrated in the eleventh hour. Would Set Stags For Wllhelm. The plan waa to urge the ex-kaiser to make a triumphal return to Berlin immediately after establishment of the "provisional government." The chief figures behind the plot were von Mackensen, whose possible role as a "German Kornlloff" was foreshadowed recently; General von Boehm, known as the German "retreat specialist," and General Sixt von Arnim, who commanded the Flanders army. One version is the coup was to be iprung immediately upon completion of demobilisation. Agitation was well financed, Krupps ana other munitions barons having invested large sums, since they are ehiefl/ interested in seeing autocracy return to power. Autocrats Back Conspiracy. The ex-kaiser, the whole former Prussian court, and practically all officials of the old regime, the navy league, and the pan-German leaguo, and men like Prince von Buelow and ex-Chancellor Mlchaelis are said to have been In sympathy with the plot.

C—(Special.)—According to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epidemic of influenza In Spain has already caused an increase in the prevalence and deaths from pnlmonary tuberculosis. A similar association between Influenza and tuberculosis w a s recently made by Sir Arthur Newsholme, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, in his analysis of the tuberculosis death rate In England. In order that the people of the United States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United States Public HeaTth Service has just issued a warning emphasizing the need of special precautions at the present time. "Experience seems to indicate," says the Sin-peon General, "(hat persons whose resistance lias been weakened by an attack of influenza, are peculiarly suseeptible to tuberculosis. With millions of its people recently affected with Influen/.a this country now offers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis," One Million Consumptives in the United States. "Then you consider this a serious menace?" was asked. "In my opinion it Is, though I hasten to add It is distinctly one against which the, people Just think of a single gigantic train of freight cars, extending from Portland, Me., through Boston, along t h e Shore line to New York, across Hell Gate bridge and through the Pennsylvania tunnels, south past Philadelphia and across the great bridge of Susquehanna, and on through' Baltimore to Washington—a single train of freight cars, with every foot of track space occupied. Or think of the train as extending from Chicago east, on any of the main trunk lines, and extending a s far a s Buffalo and the Falls, or east of Pittsburgh past the famous Horseshoe curve, to Johnstown, Pa. When you think of this you will have some faint idea of what wartime car saving means, when expressed In terms of results accomplished by a single industry. Before the great war America w a s prodigal of her freight space a s of everything else. She used freight cars lavishly, and in some places, on some lines, carload units became as small a s twelve or fifteen tons. With this small unit of carloading, dealer's storages all over the country were built to accommodate a minimum carloud. So It happened that there was much waste year after year, because the freight loading units were on the basis of track capacity and engine power of 1870, instead of 1918. The fertilizer industry In endeavoring to co-operate with the government, last year undertook to ship only in full carloads, or as nearly full carloads as the conditions of the trade permitted. This entailed a tremendous amount of work, as does anything which goes against long established custom and practice. The manufacturers had to "sell" the Idea to their salesmen; the salesmen had to pass it on to their dealers and agents; and the dealer and agents had to convince their customers— the fertilizer consumers the country over—that it w a s necessary for them to co-operate in the movement. Customers had t o order early, s o that dealers could make up orders for a full carload, with the understanding that some of the customers would haul directly from the car, and thus help relieve congestion In the dealer's storage. Dealers had to receive cars as soon as they could he sent from the factory, instead of waiting, a s they sometimes have done In the past, until .iust before planting season. Manufacturers had to support this in all ways can guard. So far as one ran estimate possible, but mainly by giving prefer there are at present about one million (.,K.P i n those deales^ who actually did " " ~ *" ' '" '"" " " T'~ ' ' order early and in full carloads. •sojg s>iuoft 'A PVJI'^ ' 's-rnox "8J[o;;paio jno gsudans £BUU 'oxtn ut ' a ^ ; a q i os 'sn asudjns pus MOU ;i 9HJ*s }0u £q& -sniq ano ;aaui 0¾ qs«o aq} paau 3M 68 'aouo ; B sjunoooB Qipeja 11¾ jo ;uatnar*}ae ffn; B uo }sisui %mm a * } « q j izvj. atr; 0¾ uoflua^e jno£ [i«o o} ( £ « M siqj ui) ajissp a ^ i 30IXO K HUNTERS NOTICE Hunters and trappers are hereby notified to keep off4 The BirkettFarm" a t Portage Lake.

There is unfortunately no complete census available to show exactly the number of tuberculosis persons in each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the disease reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been in force formally years, over So,000 cases of tuberculosis arc registered with the Department of Health. Those familiar, with the situation believe that the addition of unrecognized and unreported cases would make the number nearer. 50,000. The very careful health survey conducted during the past two years in Framingham, Mass., revealed 200 cases of tuberculosis in a population of approximately 15,000. If these* proportions hold true for the United, States as a whole they would indicate tlint about one in every hundred persons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against." What to Do The results of this industrial co-operation have been wonderful. The I previous year the average carload of j fertilizer had been about 20 tons—only { half of the car occupied. Last year this average was raised to over 30 tons per acre, with the net. result that ' the equivalent of more than 87,000 car j trips were saved. This number of I car trips was set free for other uses, | for transportation of munitions of war, i for the carrying of wheat and other | foods from the grent granary of the j middle West to the seaboard states, j for the transport of coal to the frost- j hound cities of the North. j What was done in the fertilizer In- 1 dustry last year must be done again ' this year. Other Industries must also i follow the same plan. Lime, feed. , fertilizers, all sorts of materials must , be shipped in full carloads.

PRESCOTT MOONEY'S SENTENCE COMMUTED TO "LIFE* MUST CONSERVE FOOD TO SAVE HUMAN LIVES EVERYWHERE United 8Utes Food Administration Haa Named Week of December 1-7 Aa A Nation-Wide Conservation Week For World Relief. Lansing.—"The signing of the peace treaty will not Immediately, or for •everal months at-leaat," Bald Food Administrator G. A. Prescott of Michigan, "bring about an end of food regulation In the United States. Even thenn," he said, "It is provided by the Food Control act that 'any ofTense committed and all penalties, forfeitures, or liabilities incurred prior to •uch termination may be prosecuted or punished in the same manner and with the same effect as if this Act had not been terminated.' Nevertheless, I greatly fear that the coining winter will see worldwide hardships, and the regulation of food and the demands upon America as a Christian and humane nation will be greater than ever before during the next eight or ten months.

"For the purpose of bringing before ihe people in a forcible manner the need for saving food and sharing it with the Allies and the liberated nations, the United States Food Administration named December 1-7 as a nation-wide 'Conservation Week for World Relief and a stirring program of education and enthusiasm was carried out simultaneously throughout the country. "On Sunday, December 1st, a personal message from Mr. Hoover was read from all pulpits In churches of all denominations. Wednesday, was the central feature of a patriotic program in all the women's clubs of the country, the meetings being open to all women whether club members or not. On Friday, December 6th, special patriotic exercises was held In all the public schools of the United States and a special message from Mr. Hoover to the boys and girls of America was the central feature of the program. Throughout the entire week meetings and rallies were held, and efforts of war workers being centered upon the task of waking the public to an alert realization of the after-war need for greater conservation than ever. "Wiping out the regulations in the face of our tremlendous pledges", Mr. Prescott continued, "puts the responsibility for food saving directly up to the individual and is the supreme test of America's democra/ry. If the more complete voluntary program threatens to fall, the restrictions will be just as quickly restored as they are now being rescinded. Mr. Hoover pledged the allies last summer the United States would furnish seventeen and a half million tons of food; for them not to worry if the United States didn't have the supplies, we would get them—a promise backed by the moral, patriotic and official power and honor of this great nation. The sweetness of victory and and the official relaxation, made necessary along certain lines to take care of immediate surpluses, is rather psychologically opposed to the appeal of this nation-wide relief week; but the exact reverse is too true. The armistice marks the real end of fighting, but it brings down upon us the greatest problems in our national Ufa. " • world conscience in place of a war conscience must be developed aureag the) people and the food COBservatfcm program from now on must be urorid relief and to this end we •mall direct oar vast resources. There e t t s t i o let-up la our efforts to-aupply tft* needs of a starving world ajsi there must be so leniency toward the food gambler who seeks to from the hung*- of destitute mad children. We moat be vigliaat by reason at the feet that we mow face a very natural condemned tier at the state prison here, and will be--put to work In a prison foundry at his trade of Iron molder. Food Control Act la still in force and that our regulations, so far as they are not modified must be obeyed. "From time to time the Food Administration of Michigan under instructions from Washington, will make appeals to the people of this state for the saving of food, which sime of them may think are unnecessary. I want to respectfully say to the people of Michigan that we Intend to ask nothing that is not necessary if we meet the demands of humanity. This Is a great opportunity for the American people to lead the world in the spirit of charity, and In the true spirit of democrary. By denying ourselves now and by extending generous aid to those who suffer, we will do more to make permanent world peace and to make permanent conditions of fraternity among all nations than if we maintained a mighty army and won a hundred battles. "The privilege and honor of patriotic service under the stimulous and exaltation of the great crisis—which has been ours—imposes upon us all the obligation to continue as & private in the great American food army until given an honorable discharge by our distinguished leader, Mr. Herbert Hoover." London.—The Vienna government intends to bring to trial all persons responsible for the war, including Count Be rent old, Austin-Hungarian foreign minister when the war broke out, and Count Csernln, foreign minister at a later period, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen.

Ada Kenson turned and ran toward Mark with a scream. She did not recognize him, Mark could see that The discipline of a lifetime held Mark steady: He stood confronting Kellerman, bat did not raise a hand even to guard himself. Kellerman glared at him in speechless fury. And even then It seemed a little singular to Hark that Hartley disappeared, so swiftly and silently that neither the man nor the woman knew he had been there. Then Kellerman burst into hysterical laughter. **It's the spy from the war department," he cried. "The fellow we pitched out of the army for treachery, masquerading here in uniform. A blank wall and a firing squad for you tomorrow, my man !" Ada Kenson sprang between them. "He doesn't mean that!" she cried, peering into Mark's face dubiously. She recognized Mark now, but Mark conld see that the recognition meant little to her; probably he had been only a trivial incident in her career. "Listen to me!" she whispered in Mark's ear. "He has been drinking. It will be all right. Just go back and keep this to yourself. You'll get a fiftydollar bill by the next post, and ten every month afterward, so long as you don't see anything. Understand? He lsn*t responsible—M Mark turned away in disgust, but he Imagined the warped mind that caught at this Lope of secrecy. „ He went back into the kitchen. The soldiers were still there, one or two hailed him; the incident had occupied only ten minutes. Annette made a little mouth at him from the doorway. But Mark was searching in the room for Hartley. "Your friend went home, I think, monsieur le sold at," said Annette in banter. Mark strode out of the inn without a word. Hartley's disappearance did not disturb him. Hartley was strange; but he felt that he had relied too much on Hartley. It was for him to act. He would go to the Major in charge of the hospital, tell his story, and do the only thing possible. He had no doubt any longer that Kellerman and the Kenson woman were partners in a far-reaching conspiracy against his country, though he had never before allowed himself to accept the obvious deductions from the Washington episode. His mind moved slowly. His purpose had been to redeem himself, he had thought Hartley obsessed; now he meant to reveal everything. And suddenly, out of the mist of years, he recalled Colonel Howard's story of Hampton. Kellerman had been the chief agent in Hampton's tragic fall. Suppose Hampton had been Innocent! Suppose that Eleanor's father had been a brave and loyal man, whose hideous ruin and abominable death might be posthumously •Indicated? , The blood rushed to his head at the thought of It. The burden of the knowledge of her father's shame, and of Its probable effect on her If ever she learned had weighed heavily upon Mark's heart since that night In the tent In Cuba. Then the blood receded, leaving him as cold as a atone. For he recalled Ada Keoson's words to Kellerman. So the hunter waa hard upon the quarry— perhaps he had already snared her. Ifceanor had liked Kellerman. He forced back his thoughts, strode staUgat to barracks and turned in. CHAPTIR XII. And he slept, though he had not expected to dose his eyes that night Be slept as soundly ss his comrades, rwnkenlng, as was his habit, a few minutes before raxsttte, with a mind Singmlarly clarified by sleep. He would ask to parade before bis commanding •fleer In the morning and state the tacts, leaving the rest to fate. He was not destined to, for the same corporal who bad pot him on duty daring his pcevlons afternoon "off" called can leave tfeesn buttons, Wes- ,T be said with a grin. "Ton wont s* fsssss 'ess where you're fetag. yon at ****** . r (Copyright, by W. Q. major. "And have your kit packed in twenty minutes. You and Hartley are going up to the front" The senior captain temporarily commanding the detachment unbent from the official air which he was trying terribly hard to assume. "You were specially asked for from headquarters," he said, "with another man; and I'm sending Hartley be* cause he's your friend. They want two more "men for the stretcher bearers' company. We'll be sorry to lose you, Weston." Mark saluted and went, out Just as Hartley appeared at the door. The sergeant major enlightened Hartley briefly. "You must have some pull at headquarters, Weston," he said. "Do you know Major Kellerman?" "A little, sir," answered Mark grimly. "Well, be seems to know all about you, and he told the O. C. over the telephone that he must have you. He'll be your O. C. now for a while, so things ought to run smoothly for you." "He's not a doctor, sir." "No. but the stretcher bearers aren't a medical corps; they're attached to the —th." Mark hurried away. In the barrack room, at breakfast, the two were the subject of mingled jests and congratulations. The stretcher bearers, forming, as It were, the last supports of the Infantry, shared with them the great proportion of casualties. Kellerman's scheme was perfectly clear to Mark. He was in a wretched state of mind when the car steamed into the depot at the end of the narrow-gauge line. He descended into a city, a mushroom city of the supply and transportation department A sergeant and corporal, with nine or ten men of the stretcher bearers' company, were waiting for the two. The little troop was returning to the trenches after five days of relief at a rest camp. "You're the two men from the base hospital?" asked the sergeant "All right! Fall In. Right turn! Quick march!" They moved away down a slope and began to pick their way along the beginning of a maze of trenches. The roar of guns, which had never ceased by night or day, and had long ceased to be noticeable, was louder now. Suddenly the sergeant stopped. "There was ten of you," he said to the corporal. "AH here," responded the corporal. The sergeant turned to Mark. "Where's your mate?" he asked. Mark, who had been plodding along under the impression that Hartley was following, turned round, to find that he was the last of the party. Hartley was nowhere to be seen. The sergeant ran back a few paces, to return breathless and red in the face. "He's gone, the silly fool!" he spluttered.' "Must have taken the wrong turn at the bend. Go back and get him F* But Hartley was not at the bend. The sergeant joined Mark, Incredulous, They scrambled up the bank and scanned the level road. There was no pedestrian In sight "He's taken the wrong torn somewhere," insisted the sergeant "Come along with met We've got to find hlmr They began doubling back, shouting, until they reached the end of the trench system. Still Hartley could not be found. "If he alnt on band HI be broke,** the sergeant grumbled. "And TO break his head for him. Ton medical corps chaps* are like a bunch of babies. Ought to have a nurse and baby carriage for each of you." Reluctantly he abandoned the search and they rejoined the others. The sergeant la an ugly mood, ordered them sharply onward, but could not resist casting occasional looks back to sea If the missing man was coming. However, at last he resigned himself to what seemed Inevitable, The trssVch widened Into a deep, wMe. parallel one extending In sigxags to right and left of them. A large dugout or as nearly as possflls so, by a roof of ana cerrugsvea scese, vore me s s s the dear. berof teation, watching Kellerman's eyes wander over him appraislngly. "Orderly, where's the man who came with you?" inquired the Captain briskly. "He disappeared on the way up, sir," answered Mark. "What do you mean by disappeared? Did yon see him go back? Or was he with you one minute and gone the nextr "I thought he was behind me, sir. I didn't see him go, or know anything about It" The Captain, who had been holding the receiver of his telephone, and evidently waiting for his connection, got it Mark heard him sending out a general notice of the absent man. He gave his number, and the name "Harley." No doubt he had mistaken Jt as he received It by telephone from the hospital that morning. "You'll parade before me tomorrow morning," said Captain Keyes to the sergeant. "Till then you are under open arrest." The sergeant saluted. "Right turn!" he said to Mark. "Walt a minute," interposed Kellerman. "I'd like to have a few words with this man, Captain Keyes." "By all means, sir," replied the Captain, rising. He strolled, humming, to the door of the dugout leaving Kellerman and Mark together. "So you've enlisted under the name Weston?" Inquired Kellerman. "That is my name, sir." "It was a shock to me yesterday, Wallace. I never expected it. Your disappearance stirred Washington a good deal. The war office would have exonerated you." In spite of his loathing of the man, Mark felt his heart begin to hammer with hope. He looked at Kellerman with pathos in his eyes; he could not hide his feelings; he was groping amid the ruins of his world and trying to reconstruct them. "I've no doubt you misunderstood me," said Kellerman. "My association with the Kenson woman was a part of my official duties—the most distasteful part, but one that had to be carried out. You and I were the victims of an acute piece .of trickery. That fan was wired." "From your room, sir," said Mark. "From my room," answered Kellerman, "And, no doubt, by the Kenson woman's agent, that spy who called to see you at the war office the same morning. Colonel Howard knows all about It. He means to stand by you. He heard you had enlisted, but he did not know you were In the medical corps, nor under an alias. He is at the base now, Wallace, Wben he comes up next week I shall make it my business to see him about you." "No, sir," gasped Mark. "It doesn't matter now." "It matters to me, if not to yourself, Wallace. I cannot rid myself of the sense of partial responsibility. And as for what happened last night, you took me off my guard. Til be frank with you. It was my duty to Interest the Kenson woman. I succeeded too well. She followed me here. I couldn't bring myself to denounce her. For that I have placed my own position in jeopardy. When you appeared I did not know what to do or say." "You found a course of action," answered Mark, torn between the desire to return blow for blow and to do justice to Kellerman, whose story left him doubtful and wondering. MWIli you accept my frank apology?" asked Kellerman, extending his hand. Mark took It "I will. Major Kellerman," he answered. And he made his way to the door of the dugout with a feeling of warmth In bis heart such as he had not known for many a month. He believed Kellerman— end yet . . . but he fought down his Instinct and still believed him. **A man hit between the lines," said the corporal. "You're got to bring bin* lu. You cuu see him from this loophole." Murk stepped upon the sentry's platform uud saw, Indistinct lu the dark uess, a huddled foriu ubout half-way to the German trenches. Then he heurd Kelleruum'a voice at his side. "A man of the —th got hit," he said. "Bring him in, Weston. Make u quick l job of it Corporal Balnea, you'll take [ charge. You two will be ready to take out your stretcher in case anything happens," he added to the two others. The corporal led the way, crouching, toward the gap in the wires. They passed two lines, traversed a diagonal lane, and emerged beyond the third into the open. The body of the wounded man, which had disappeared, came into light, a bluck patch under the stars. "Get down!" whispered the corporal. They flung themselves to the ground, and proceeded to wriggle forward, under his directions, pushing the stretcher as noiselessly as possible across the rough ground. Suddenly the man with Mark uttered an exclamation. "What the devil's he sent us on this job for?" he demanded truculently. "Shut up, you fool!" whispered the corporal hoarsely. "That ain't the man. He's been there these past three days. Dutchman he Is; every listening post party knows him. What's the good of bringing him in? He ain't got no head to him." "What you talking about?" snarled the corporal. '"That's the man the Major said, and there ain't no other in sight. Tent!" They flattened themselves as a rocket burst into the air above the German lines. Then the machine guns burst forth. "Rat-tat-tat-tat!" sang the bullets overhead. They swished through the grass and pattered on the ground. No answer came from -the section of the American line immediately behind the defenders, but on each side there came answering rolleys, making the air an inferno of crackling death. Then, gradually, the alarm subsided. The rocket showers died down. "Now, boys!" whispered the corporal. They crawled onward. The huddled form came into clear view. The body seemed to be already blending with the earth, melting into formlessness; and there was no need to wonder whether this was of a dead or wounded man. The corporal swore. "I told you so!" mumbled Mark's companion. "I told you so. Whuff he sent us here for, the fool?" His words ended In a gurgle. From behind the shelter of the corpse leaped five men. Noiselessly they flung themselves upon the party of three. Mark felt a pistol at his temple. "Surrender!" hissed a voice in his ear. In a flash he realized the trap. The three were unarmed, noncorabatnnts; It was a counter-raid—and Kellerman ( had known that the enemy were abroad that night and suspected their rendezvous. He saw his two companions being dragged, unresisting, toward the German lines. Three men were with them; besides his Immediate antagonist there was only one other figure In the Immediate vicinity, and that one had half turned away. And the thought of the Infernal trap goaded Mark to madness. As his captor, never suspecting resistance on his part let the muzzle of the pistol droop, Mark drew back his hand and struck upward with all his might He felt the burn of the powder as the discharged bullet sped under his chin, he heard the startled cry of the Germans; and then a furious outburst of machine-gun fire came from the trenches opposite. Two Very lights I went up, revealing the two struggling ' men to the sentries on either side. Mark saw a powerful man, a sergeant he thought, with close-cropped yellow hair and the body of a Hercules. The man dashed at him, striking madly with his bare fists. The two fought amid a hailstorm of bullets. (TO BE CONTINUED.) CHAPTER XIII.

Autoists coming from the lake reported the matter to Commissioner Smith who- immediately secured hilpand removed tfte obstruction In the meanwhile, Mr. John Bruhm of Fo wlerville tried to pass the falln. tree and in some way damaged his auto top slightly. Mrs. John Bruhm now presents a bill of damages to the tuwnship board which amounts to ov er twenty dollars and includes among ocher items the cnarge ef $1.00 for washing the car. In view of the fact that the tree was blown down in .gale a of wind abou sundown and the road was cleared as Boon as possible, not later than j;30 p. m., and that this township has not yet created a fund for cleaning privately owned autos, the Putnam township board decided to disallow the claim. As Mrs. Bruhm has engaged an attorney to look after her interests in the matter it is possible a lawsuit may be the result. Honorably Discharged " t l h e following S. A. T.

TURN THE BOYS' THOUGHTS HOMEWARD, SAYS FOSOICK, ASKINGJO-OPERATION Washington. — (Special.) — Just before leaving for France to superintend tbe demobilization activities of those organizations which recently took part In the United War Work Campaign, Iiuymoud B. Fosdlck, Chuirmuu of the Commission on Training Camp Activities, was Interviewed with regard to the present situation of our overseas forces, , "The problem presented by the gradual demobilization of more than two million men three thousand miles from home Is one which will tax all our social resources," said Mr. Fosdick. "It Is above all a morale probi iem. and it must be faced as such, with, ! the full co-operation of families and i friends here In. this country, if it is to | be solvelTsu ccessTu 11 y.

Now, however, the lighting is at au | end. They are going to remain, most I of them, many months doing work i which will be neither exciting nor * particularly interesting. They will get j lonesome, bored and terribly home- I sick. ! "The $170,000,000 raised In the re- ! cent United Wur \Vork drive Is to be: ! uged precisely to bridge over this pei riod by providing recreation and amusement. IUit no amount of mere ' money expended in such a way will be ! enough. What these boys really want Is not diversion, but human interest ! and sympathy. These things express- 1 ed in letters from home will warm I their hearts and create a home atmosphere around them, even while they are aosent from the family circle. ' ,rSuch letters may "be a very necessary sheet anchor to windward in the case of some boys. The thought of some one waiting for them, rountlng on them, will, more than anything else, make them hold back and think twice before plunging into situations which might mean harm and uuhapp in ess for them. "We h:*e raised the cleanest army in the woihl. We have kepi it clean. We hope to bring it back as clean and strong as it was when it left us. But while we believe our soldiers will stand the present test—the hardest of nil in some ways—as bravely and successfully as they have stood every other test of their manhood and endurance, it is our duty to give them all the ho "This, rendered will b e . satisfyturn then accomplis ahead of }\i w e < ,;c;i t o them," an.

ALIEN ENEMIES TO BE DEPORTED Colons Churchill Saya Britannia Must Continue to Rule the Waves Nothing Can Sway Her From This 8tand. Dundee.—British representative* at the peace conference will demand general and absolute abolition of conscription throughout Europe. Winston Spencer Churchill made this announcement in a speech. David Uoyd George, British prime minister, in the election campaign in London, gave a restatement of his policy. In it he declares men responsible for the war cannot escape because their heads were crowned, but they must be tried by an international court Mr. Lloyd George also declared himself in favor of expulsion and ex. elusion of all enemy aliens. Peace Based On Stern Justice. London.—(British wireless service.) —Sir Auckland Geddes, president of the local government board and minister of national service, in a public address said the line of policy advocated by the coalition government was a peace which, so far as enemy powers were concerned, should be based en stern justice and so far as those men who planned and started the war were concerned should be founded on justice of the nature meted out in the highest courts of the land. Such men as the former German emperor, Enver Pasha and former rulers of Bulgaria and Austria would b« placed on trial and if found guilty, their lives would be forfeited. "Men guilty of unspeakable atrocities upon our prisoners and upon civilian Inhabitants of invaded lands," he continued, "must stand trial, and If they are condemned, must suffer death." It had to be proved how far commanders of submarines acted under orders, which they had to carry out under pain of death, or how far they acted on their own volition, he point ed out, but if atrocities at sea were committed on volition of individual commanders, he declared, they too, must suffer the extreme penalty. "Today is the day of reckoning for our enemies," said the minister, "and they will have to pay to the uttermost farthing what it is possible to bring out of them." Britain Wilt Rule Seas. Dundee, Scotland.—Britannia must continue to rule the waves. She will not suffer any abridgement whatsoever of her "well tried and well-deserved naval supremacy.*' No argument or appeals—no matter from what quarter—will sway her from this stand. Colonel Churchill's statement was the first positive, clear-cut and uncompromising utterance on the subject made by any member of the government since signing of the armistice. The munitions minister announced Great Britain does not intend to take back* Helgoland, Germany's "Gibraltar in the North sea," because this is unnecessary. He also announced the government's decision in favor of nationalization of railways. "We intend to make the Germans pay for harm they have done to the uttermost farthing they are capable of paying/' said Colonel Churchill Must Pay "Ton For Ton." "Ton tor ton for sold or other securities or any other liquid securities which Germans might dispose of wo intend to exact of them, subject to the condition that in exacting them we- must net do anything that will injure oar own trade. « / . - . • • • .;<r- -, • . * # ! : * • ' • ' • $$h~* ft.*3RV; '•- *v J--\ JSHl* ' —• pvi::,>r.

Altogether 2,475 merchantmen and 670 fishing vessels—a total of 8,145 craft—were sunk, and 3,147 crews were set adrift as result of sinkings. "LETTERS-FROM-HOME" WEEK War Department Commission Wants Soldiers' Kin to Help Maintain Morale of Army. New York,—The week of December 15 has been designated by the war department commission on training camp activities as a time for special letters to be written by mothers, fathers, sisters, wives and sweethearts of the men now overseas. The week has been called "Letters-From- Home" week, and the purpose is to apply the "home touch" to a broadgauged military program for maintaining the morale of the men who find themselves idle after weeks of strenuous fighting. The war department hopes, through these letters, to keep the men contented, "straight,4* and ambitious to live up to the high ideals of American manhood. A model letter such as the government wants the mothers and fathers especially to write has been prepared by the war department. This, with letters from Secretary of War Baker and Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the commission, Indorsing the plan, has been mailed to newspapers throughout the country. The letter particularly asks that the men overseas direct their attention to wholesome recreation and activities, instead of to the unwholesome influences that might result from the enforced period of idleness wherever large bodies of troops are awaiting orders to return home. WOUNDED SENT NEAR HOMES Michigan Men Will Come to Detroit and Custer Hospitals. Washington.—Plans under which all wounded men returning frbm France will go to hospitals within 300 miles of homes of their nearest relatives were announced by the war department. To this end base hospitals at training camps have been turned over to the surgeon-general providing 75 hospitals with facilities to care for 109,231 men. Fifty thousand men are expected to be sent to these institutions within the next four months. Use of the training camps will make it possible to return to their owners immediately numerous properties and buildings which were to be converted into general hospitals. Michigan men, under the war department plan, are classified in hospital group No. 10—General hospital, Detroit and base hospital, Camp Custer. THOUSANDS IN U. S. N. RELEASED Will Permit Youths to Return to Civil Pursuits, As Before War. Washington.—-Discharge of 20 per cent of the navy's wartime personnel, about 100,000 men, has been authorized. Secretary Daniels said the men would be released as quickly as possible with due regard to the convenience of the service. Private yachts, motor boats and other craft taken over by the nary for the war already are being turned back to their owners. Mr. Daniels said by February 700 crafts wilt have been stricken from the navy list. Release of enlisted men Is author, ised not because the navy Is overmanned, but to permit return to civil pursuits of youths who* Joined for the war and who do not Intend to follow the sea.

Holland, it is understood, will suggest Herr Hohenzollern and his son be placed on an Island in either the East or West Indies, where he will be guarded by a Dutch fleet. It is also anticipated Holland will be asked for compensation for permitting vialation of her neutrality by allowing , German troops to pass through the j province of Limburg on their retreat from Belgium and receiving German j ships from Antwerp.

Berlin—W^iat promises to be a decisive battle for elimination of partisan politics In Soldiers' and Workmen's councils throughout Germany has been precipitated by announced determination of soldiers to insist upon party representation on all governing boards. Leaders of soldiers declare if the present virtual dictatorship system of government is to be continued they will demand equal vote with workingmen. Otherwise they insist upon immediate convocation of the national assembly. "We soldiers are fully qualified to speak for the bourgeoisie." a former non-commissioned officer said to the correspondent "The war has obliterated completly what waa once proudly called 'Germany's splendid middle classes.' We represent all callings, trades and professions. Workingmen, on the other hand, have succeeded during progress of war in creating a special social category, brought about by prosperity of labor. "The bourgeoisie Is really the proletariat. Soldiers object to being outvoted and therefore demand strict party representation in the composS tion of the Soldiers' and Workingmen's boards." " Soldiers seem thus far to have proved themselves Inferior parliamentary tacticians as compared with radical labor elements. This realization is dawning on them, and their movement designed to reform working methods of the executive committee and bring about closer communion between the two divisions promisee to furnish the first big political sensation of the revolutionary government "It Is commonly understood soldiers are anxious both wings of the German social democracy busy themselves in trying to get together on a common national platform. The existing system of a compromise government is said to have exhausted patience of soldiers. NAVY BUILDING ON WAR BASIS Secretary Daniels Asks $«00^00,000 to Be Spent In 3 Year's Construction. Washington.—America's determination to possess a nayy of constantly increasing strength and efficiency-— fully capable of preserving and maintaining its newly-won position among nations of the world—Is officially expressed by Secretary of the Navy Daniels in his annual report to the president, now made public. Notwithstanding cessation of hostilities and the approaching peace conference, Secretary Daniels strongly urges continued upbuilding of the navy, specifically asking, for authorization of another three-year construction program to cost $800,000,- 000. Asks For 156 New Ships. This tubatntially duplicates the amount appropriated in 1918, when the world war was raging and which constituted the first comprehensive building program ever authorised for the navy. The new program arranged to cover a second three-year term provides for construction of a total of 166 new vessels. Tea of these are to be battleships and six of them battle cruisers. The other 140 vessels are not specified. It Is simply asked that they be of types already approved and In existence or of new types which may develop during the life of the program, details being left to the navy department. "Ships to Equal Any Afloat" The secretary adds that new ship construction should embrace craft of every description which experience of the war has demonstrated to be necessary to the efficient sad symmetrical development of the navy. Commenting on his recommendations, he says: T h i s program, if anthorised hy congress, at I aat eoaflde&t it wOl to* will give us 16 additional capital aalBf which wffl he the osjwt of «ay afloat at the Hate the* sre> "" t o t a l ssihssjos t tor ship tion involved * * the maw a ^ n a s * n v etadJaa; armor aad sariisaioot sg •Je* • sosperB^Pe^rSSf^r! <»r ytJB? lOf -e*B&Ms\BsV .of - & : • & % LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE IF SICK, t CROSS, FEVERISH] HURRY, MOTHER1 REMOVE POI.

CHAPTER XIII—Continued —10— Suddenly the German uttered a ehok- &K cry and dropped, blood spurting !rom his throat, where a chance bullet lad found hlra. As he fell, Mark precipitated himself upon hlui and lay lat on the ground. The firing died away. Captain Mark began to crawl back toward the parapet of his lines. A whispered challenge, an answer, and he had scaled the sandbags ..and descended into the mud of the trench, to find the firing posts crowded and himself facing Kellerman and the company captain. Inwardly boiling, he stood still. It was too dark to see the expression on Kellerman's face, but he could imagine the sneering grin that disfigured it. "Well!" said Kellenjiau sharply. "The man you sent me to bring In was dead. He hud been -there for days." "Where are your companions?" demanded Kellermun. "Captured." "And you?" "We were attacked in the dark. I fought with my man until a bullet killed him. The others Mere taken." "And your stretcher?" asked Kellerman with a bland sneer. "I left it between the lines. Do you wish me to go back for it, sir?" "This man is lying," said Kellerman to the Captain calmly. "He abandoned his companions and ran away. He lost his stretcher. Put him under arrest." The Captain beckoned to the platoon sergeant, who came forward. "I'd like to say one thing," said Mark, striving to keep his voice steady. "We three were sent out to bring in a dead man, who had been dead for days—anyone here will beur me out in this. Wus any man wounded tonight? There was only one body in this section—" "Cut it out!" said the sergeant, laying his hand on Mark's shoulder. But Mark swung clear of him and turned and faced Kellerman ""again. "You sent me out tonight to put me out of the way !" he cried, losing all self-control. "For rensons that you know, and I know, you wanted me dead, and you were willing to send two others to their death also. You lied ro inc to put me off my guard, d n you. you treacherous dog! And here's the blow you gave, back again!" He struck Kellerman a buffet that sent him reeling back against the parapet. CHAPTER XIV, The three officers who had brought In their verdict, and the fourth, of high rank, who had passed the sentence, stood rather stiffly at the door of the little headquarters village house, watching Mark as, with hands chained, he was inarched away by two armed guards toward the Jail. When he was out of Trfght they un« bent "D-—n it!" said one. "My sentiments," answered another. "What do you think, McKlnnon?" "I don't want to think about it.H "If it had been some tough who had got roped Into the army—a gunman or that sort—but—" "Well, if the fellow's a gentleman, why did he do it? He must hove known."

She pressed her lips to his. "Captain Mark I Dear Captain Murk !" she sobbed. And, holding her closely to him, and forgetting Howard's presence and everything else, Mark found his peace. Colonel Howard was trying to calm her, to assuage her frantic grief. At last he persuaded her to sit down. He took Mark by the arm as if he were a child, and placed him beside her. "Mark, my dear boy—Mark, I heard of it only five minutes ago," he said. "I ha'd to spend the night here, and Eleanor had got leave to meet me. I've just learned the outlines of it. I'm trying to get the General. Yes, yes, I know he refused this morning, but he didn't know. I'm only going to ask for a respite till I can see him personally. It will come out all right Now tell me, Mark, what happened? How did Kellerman meet you? Why did you strike him,? I don't ask about the charge of cowardice, because that Isn't worth speaking about. I'll settle that with the General—I haven't forgotten Santiago. But about that blow, Mark—how did it all happen? Tell me exactly, so that I—" It was unlike the old Colonel to gabble so fast. Perhaps he was afraid of breaking down. "Can tell the General. Now begin, Murk. Tell me from the beginning." But Mark did not open his tips. And before Colonel Howard could resume Eleanor had sprung up and faced Mark eagerly. "Now, Captain Mark, listen! If you've never listened to me before, listen now !" she ("tied. "I know you aren't going to tell the Colonel. It's "Now Capt. Mark, Listen." like you, Captain Mark. You're stubborn. You have a stupid, wicked streak of stubbornness in you that always, makes you pretend things, and always prevents you from letting the world see what a dear, good, splendid man you are. I know you through and through, though you've never known I did. You've ruined your life by your silly silences. You seem to like to be misunderstood. You like things to go wrong with you, so that you can suffer undeservingly. But it isn't he* roical of you. Captain Mark. It's stubborn and wrong, and, where others are concerned, it's criminal.

"I struck him because he—*• And he could say nothing.

Tat ho was Ignorant of the inhibitory process wounded man unnecessarily," said Mark lamely. He saw a spasm pass over Howard's face. This was worse tLun Howard could have believed. The Colonel was shaken; his faith wus strong, but he was one of those who accept the obvious. "Listen, Captain Mark!" said Eleanor, speaking as if to a baby. "That isn't what you wanted to say. You had no thought of criticizing your superior officer, even If you thought him wrong. That Isn't what you mount. Perhaps he'll tell me, father! Stand back a little. Now, whisper it, Captain Mark!" But in the shelter of Eleanor's arms Mark felt altogether at peace. What did it matter, all this of long ago? "Are you going to marry Kellerman, Eleanor?" he asked. Very softly, in the obscurity, he felt her shake her head. And the action had precisely the opposite effect of what Eleanor hud intended. For nothing mattered any more, nothing at all. He couldn't find excuses— Mark Wallace had never excused himself in his life. Eleanor drew herself out of his arms and looked at him. He looked from her face to the Colonel's. Why were they worrying him? How could he hope to saveihts life by going into the obscure details and explanations that they required of him? And what a long rigmarole, beginning back In the war department! Mark could not string a case together; his mind was not constructed In that fashion. Eleanor laid her hand on his arm. "Captain Murk—don't you see that every moment is torture to us?" she asked. There was a terrible intensity In her tone, as if she were holding herself rigidly in restraint, for fear that she would fall should she yield to her emotion. "I struck him." stammered Mark. "I toldj you why. I thought he was wrong to risk those lives—I—" The look upon each face seemed to be frozen there; it was as if tiieir lives and not Murk's, hung upon his words. ""Suddenly'a shriek pierced the sky, cutting off Mark's speech, and a shell burst somewhere by with a shattering detonation, followed by the dull boom of a distant gun. The Colonel started, and then resumed his gaze. But there came a stunning sound that seemed to split his ear-drums. He fell forward, and felt as if some one hud lifted him; looked out into darkness, sought Eleanor and knew nothing. that now» «tv *fwars, hold Msa ha But neanir cttMf to him. f-i son* * * » * a£4s-**lt * CHAPTER XV. When he slowly grew conscious It was with the glad realization that he had found her. He felt her hands, supple and warm, biudlng a bandage round his arm. He opened his eyes to see her face bent over his. And it was dawn. Vague cries rang in his ears, distant cries, blending, surging, swelling and dying,down, but never ceasing. The rattle of small-arms was continuous, and punctuated by the loud timbre of guns. He was lying amid a heap of debris that had been the village jail. Not for away he saw the Colonel sitting with eyes closed, propped up against the fragments of a wall, a blood-stained bandage round his head. "O thank God I" cried Eleanor. "Yon has* Captain badly hurl* on pass najt hear me." ""' All round them the guns were booming, all round them they saw khaki - clad Americans swarming over the fields, and yet the village seemed deserted. They were alone in a little oasis of calm amid the tumult. "What are we to d o r cried the girl. "Can you walk? Try to stand on your feet Let me help you. We must get the Colonel somewhere." The question on Mark's lips died away as there came the howl of a heavy shell, followed by a stunning impact A column of broken bricks spouted into the sir at the end of the street dissolving into a cloud of dust An Interval, and again there came a missile from the monster gun. A house In the next street went down like cardboard. It was the threatened attack on the American lines.

"Take Eleanor to safety and leave me, Murk," he said, In a choking voice. . "I'll take you both, sir. This can't last long. Our men will be In the village in a few minutes. Or an ambulance will pass." Mark put his hands beneath the Colonel's arms and tried to lift him. As the Colonel tried to stund he collapsed forward in Murk's anus. He looked at Mark piteously. "Take her and leave me," he whispered. "And listen to me, Mark. She cares for you. All will come right, if I can keep my worthless carcass alive until I've seen the General. But I never counted on being done up like this." There were tears In the old man's eyes. "Forgive me, my boy," he muttered, and fell into unconsciousness. Mark set him down against the wall again. It was impossible to move hint, oven with Eleanor's help. Mark looked at Eleanor. "It's safest here," he said. "The village will be occupied soon. Help will come—" He broke off abruptly as another of the heavy shells dropped nearer, sending the brick fragments flying In all directions. Of a sudden tt had occurred to him that the reason wJiy the Americans did not enter the village was that it was a death-trap; Its ranges were all mapped and plotted, and the Germans were bent on Its systematic destruction. Mark stood by Eleanor in irresolution, cursing his fate. He did not know what to do. He could not leave her; and yet he felt a burning impulse to play some part in affairs. His eye, truined by long years of practice, took In the tactical situation at a glunce. The Germans must have made a prodigious thrust in the night, bursting through the center; the reserves, still rushing over the fields, were trying to 1111 and hold the gap. And the little Headquarters village was the key to the whole battlefield. Wounded men came streaming down the street, followed by the merciless shells. The aeroplane above was still circling like a hawk; it seemed Incredible that no aeroplnnp attacked It. And It was quite clear to Mark that only treachery, calculated and long planned, could have brought about the situation. For the Germans must have advanced four miles since nightfall. "Help will come—" Mark repeated; and suddenly, even above the drumlire, he could bear the sounds of cheering. And, topping the ridge that ran before the village, there came a swarm of gray-green figures, thrusting back thf; thin, scattered line that held it. Tho bullets were whirring "overhead, audible, and like a swarm of bees. Cloud* of dust rose up and hid the battle. Eleanor, clutching Mark's arm, stood tense beside him ; Mnrk saw that she understood, and the two held their breath as the dust clouds eddied along the ridge. Suddenly they dissolved, and the attacking swarm poured Hke a great Hood into the village. It looked as if all were lost.- But an Instant later Mark saw a little company of Americans thrust out a Maxim gun from behind a wall, where they had hidden It. The gunner took his seat, and, just as the ranks were closing in on hi in, swept the street from side to side. The ranks recoiled and fan, body piling on body. Then, as a torrent teres* Its way through tho tce-crnst of a river, tho attackers over* whelmosl the Majdai sect! on and swopt Into the stissts, — And, as torrent meets torrent, with a surge and a rush a body of American troops swept forward to meet them. The battle was"all about them. Every house was a fortress, every mound of bricks a rallying point. Mark raised the half-conscious Colonel in his arras and drew him into the shelter of a little hollow in the brick wall. He beckoned to Eleanor to crouch down beside him. There they were safe from flying bullets, and might hope to pass unnoticed. He still hesitated, when a body of Germans rushed, shouting, past him, upon a troop of Americans who came round a shattered corner, led by a younarofficer carrying a bloody sword. It was quick and short bayonet work. Mark saw the blades flash, heard tho panting gasps of the thrusters and the moans of the wounded. He saw the young officer stagger and fall, a bayonet through hia shoulder. The sword fell from his hand. Before the German could withdraw his weapon Mark had snatched- up ibe sword and, with a mighty blow, cloven the German's ana from'his body. (TO B* OONT1NUVTV* THE MAKING OF A FAMOUS MEDICINE How Lydia E. Ptnkham'ft Vegetable Compound U Prepared For Woman's Use. A visit to the laboratory where thai successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reliability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman's ills. Over 850,000 pounds of various herbs are used anuaily and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when the>r natural juices and medicinal substances are at their best The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs. Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as a final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles. It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills. The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound which we are continually publishing attest to its virtue.

City With Removal of German Control Is Confidently Looked For. In tho German song, "Deutsohlnnd Jobor Alios,'' which is probably not being shouted as vociferously today lis It was four years ago, it Is declared that Germany stretches "from Hie Mans to the Memel." As u matter of fact, the Gorman population siops considerably short of the river Memel, the committee on public Information says. The Menu1! valley is inhabited chiefly by Lithuanians find the seaport of Memel. located at Its month, Is almost wholly u Lithuanian city. In tho middle ages tho Lithuanian race In IhK region extended up to the Vistula. Hut in the thirteenth century the Teutonic knights conquered the territory nnd started to oppress the people. Notwithstanding persecutions, attempts to Germanize the population through school and church, nnd the iroti rile of the Gorman police and officials the northern part of east Prussia still remained Llthunninn. Memel (called Klaipeda by the Lithuanians) is the natural Llthunninn outlet to the Baltic sen. The Germans could not deve'op it as, n port because there was no mainland behind It which was under German control, and only a nnrrow strip of the territory was under German sway. Tf conditions change nnd German control of Lithuania is removed, Memel should hoenme n prosperous nnd lively Llthunninn port. wMVWtnrcs OT wheal: and bap* ley so mad* as to be rich in sugar; and ready to eat •from package with milk or cr*arrv7fo4& GrapfNuts 4. • • • * 4 3ri 3! *i « * -:¾ /.''•'*'£• • * * * * • w • A '>. • - 4 - ^ - x ' #e, *?*£;.•. .''T-r>' ' * • : * • • , •«••-.» - w 7 ;•* . - S L V "* /v;v • - - . * " « " • • « * — a*; . • # • • : 1¾ r; .4¾ * ;.% . 4 ^ >.'.V ft: 1 .'-^ t. i * 3 4. ! - ^ - I < < W > I . # • • - » ' • / .

DAVID ROatntTS* CatfCMera VERY year about the middle of November a small sign appeared over the door of the Thomas cottage which bore the legend, "The Evergreen Shop." Every year during the Christmas season Ruth Thomas made hundreds of evergreen wreaths, which she sold for Christmas decorations. This was why the people of Brierly called her the evergreen girl. The day before Christmas Ruth sat in her little shop finishing the last wreath she would make that season. 'There!" she said, deftly twisting a sprig of bright red berries among the evergreen stems, "that finishes Helen Stanwood's order, and thank goodness It's done in time. Oh. dear I" she sighed, laying the wreath aside. "I do wish I coulxl spend one Christmas time enjoying myself as others do. Why, there has not been anyone here over the holidays since I can remember, and I have not been to a Christmas party in years —not since the time I went over to Dolly Blair's with Dane." A warm color suddenly glowed In the girl's cheeks and there was a soft light In her brown eyes as she thought of that memorable right. Dane Stanwood had taken her to that party. Once during the evening he caught her as she was standing under the mistletoe bough** and— At POSTPAID t m JML DAVID B O i m •tots aXL Missal sit—af. lafsfsMnsi free.

The sudden roar of a high-power automobile broke in upon Ruth's musings, and she looked out In time to see a long bluo roadster flash past the gate. The car belonged to Dane Stanwood. Shortly after the Christmas party at Dolly Blair's Dane had gone West to become a mining engineer. He had written a few times to Ruth and then the letters bad stopped coming, and she had no; heard from him for nearly four years. Then, Just a month ago, he had suddenly appeared in Brierly jvlth the blue racing car. Soon it was rumored that he had made a fortune in the mines. Ths second week after his return Stanwood bought the old Blaln mansion and gave the information that he intended to move into his new home before Christmas. Next he announced that preparations were under way for a party which he was giving Christmas eve. The evergreen girl had been surprised and a little bit hurt because startled me. I thought it was your sister, and—-" "Helen has gone to Balford to meet a friend who Is to spend the holidays with us," said the young man, "so she sent me after the wreaths." He smiled down at the girl. T h i s is the evergreen shop, isn't i t f "Yes," said Ruth, forcing a smile n return. "And you are the evergreen girt?" "I believe they call me that," she answered. "Well," said Stanwood, "Sis told me to be sure and fetch you back with me when I returned." "Back with you!" echoed Ruth. "Really I—I can't go. There is so much to do here, and—" "Bosh!" laughed Dane. "Of course you will go back with me. Fact is you'll have to." He waved his hand as Ruth started to speak. "No excuses now, for I won't listen to 'em. You see," Stanwood went on, "Sis and her friend were supposed to help get things ready for the party tonight, but she telephoned just as 1 was leaving the house that the train on which her friend was to arrive is very l«te. She may not get back until nine o'clock, and the party begins at eight I told Sis I could never get things ready In time, for the decorating isn't half done. Then she happened to think of you, and I said right off that you would be just the one to help us o u t You're not going t disappoint us, are you?" very anxiously. "We-li, perhaps I can go for a little while," said Ruth. "T'd dearly love to trim that Christmas tree.". "Of course, I won' stay to the party/' she thought ns she scurried upstairs after a wrap, "so I won't see Dane's sweetheart, for of course Fhe is the one Helen is to meet at the train. And I really ought to help Dane and his sister out, for they have been sucb good customers." Dane ushered Ruth Into the hlg double parlors of his new home, wttere the Christmas tree had been placed. "Do you suppose." he asked, pointing to a great pile of evergreen at one end of the room, "we will be able to hang all these wreaths and then decorate the tree before eight o'clock?" The evergreen girl gave a merry little laugh. "I am sure we can if we work fnst.** she answered. "I nm used to this work, yon know, and with your help ft won't take long." "How long hnve you been the evergreen girl?" Dnne asked, as he and Ruth were trimming n chandelier. "This Is my third season," Ruth replied. "I found that there was a big demand for wreaths, and laurel trimming during the Christmas holidays, so three years ago I opened nn evergreen shop. I love to do this kind of work, and although the season is a short one, my little shop pnys well." The evergreen girl might hnve added that, more than this, the rush of work just at Christmas time helped her to forget the dull ache in her heart whfch was always so hard to bear during the holidays. She said nothing of this, though, but asked. Instead : "Tell me, Dane, how you have spent Christmas while you have been away. Have you been where there was much merry-making?" "For the past, three years." said Stanwood, 'Tve celebrated Christmas by working from dawn till dark. This Is the first enjoyable Christmas eve I have known since I left Brierly." "It has been a very pleasant evening for me, too," said Ruth, "and I have enjoyed It ever so much. Now well trim the Christmas tree, and then you can take me home and get back in time for the party." At half-past seven Dane surveyed the big double parlors with satisfaction. With the help of the evergreen girl he had finished the decorations and everything was in readiness for the guests, "The rooms look just as they did four years ago at Dolly Blair's Christmas tree—even the mistletoe bough." said Dane. "Don't you remember how that one hung right over our heads, as this one does now?" The evergreen girl was silent. "Had you forgotten, Ruth?" he persisted. "No," softly, "I had not forgotten."

Washington, Dec. 4.—Future plans of the American Red Cross, under which the great organization built up during the war will be devoted to peace-time relief work not only in the United States but throughout the world, was outlined in a statement issued tonight by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the war council. "The whole American people will be invited In the week preceding Christmas to enroll as members of the Red Cross. It is confidently believed there need be no further campaigns for Red Cross funds, but instead the annual roll call will constitute the foundation of the Red Cross. The people should, therefore, know as definitely as possible the plans of this their national humanitarian society. "Wherever our soldiers a d sailors may be, the Red Cross will stay with them until they are demobilized. Nothing which we may do will be left undone, either for the men in the war zone, for those returning, for those in the camps and hospitals or for their families at home to whom will continue to be devoted the ministrations of the Red Cross home service. In this latter effort 50,000 trained Red Cross workers are now engaged at 2,500 different places throughout the land. "The problems of reconstruction, involving feeding and caring for the distressed civilian populations of Europe, are of such magnitude that necessarily they must he met very largely by the governments of our allies, with whom our own government will co-operate. "The war program of the American Red Cross will thus steadily and rapidly merge itself into a peace program. While the plans In this direction cannot be formulated specifically, In advance of the general relief program of the allied governments, the American Red Cross is nevertheless planning to develop Its permanent organization in (his country upon a scale never before contemplated In time of peace. The commissions which are now conducting the activities of the American Red CroRs in foreign countries, as well as the temporary war organization in this country, will as a matter of course ultimately merge their energies with those of the permanent organization of the Red Cross. "There may be, therefore, perfect confidence that the peace activities of the Red Cross will he conducted under able and inspiring leadership. Th<> chapters will maintain their organizations upon a scale adequate to the new demands to be made upon them. Local committees will Indeed appreciate more and more the value of having In their midst strong and efficient Red Cross chapters. The divisional organizations, with honorary and permanent staffs, will be maintained—alwayf ready for service; and national hea quarters will have a large and efficlei personnel to direct the activities of tborganization as a whole. "For the completion of its war work and for the institution of its peace program, the Red Cross is fortunately In a healthy flnnncial condition. Abundant occasion for the use of large funds of money and great quantities of garments and other supplies will continue to arise, hut it is believed that there will be no further need for Intensive campaigns for funds. The work of supplementing governmental activities, which the Red Cross will be called upon to do in ail parts of the world, will be upon a great scale, but It will call for human service rather than for large expenditures. "What the American Red Cross needs now is not so much contributions ^f money, as the continued devotion ind loyalty of its members. This is peculiarly true at this moment of transition from war to peace. Annual membership involves the payment of only one dollar. The moneys thus re* celved not only defray all the administrative expenses of the organisation, bat leave a substantial balance, which, together with all funds subscribed directly for relief, are devoted solely to that purpose. The roll call of the nation Is thus to be called at Christmas time, that through enrollment in their Red Croat the American people may a nmssage to our soldiers stilt and to the peoples of the world that we are not only merely eonfeat with seeing our arms united wtth ontaule* tn victory, hat that our abtd- 'Wpwpoee Is that the love, the sym- Removes all dandruff, stops Itching scalp and falling hair.

If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth with a little Danderlne and carefully draw it through your hair—taking one small strand at a time* Your hair will be soft,'glossy and beautiful in Just a few moments—a delightful surprise awaits everyone who tries this, # Adv. Some Spending Money. My brother was in command of a colored company in one of the Southern training camps when one day an enlisted man asked permission to spend Sunday in a nearby town. The captain said he might if he could show that he had enough money for his expenses and a little over, whereupon he pulled out a roll of bills and counted out $700 before the commanding officer. That astonished individual asked: "Where did you get all that money?" The man replied: "My wife thought I might need a little spending money, so she sent me a thousand dollars." Upon further questioning he said oil had been discovered .on his land in Oklahoma, hence his riches, —Chicago Tribune.

I have never bad the retulta from other medicine that ! have gotten from Foley Kidney PUla." Thousands of letters like the above have been received by Foley and Co. These letters tell how the writers have been benefited and helped to health. They explain the ever-growing demand for : • * * -.•Hi* The kidneys are blood niters that pick out from the blood certain waste products which would act as poisons, together with%nough water to dissolve them and waah then out ef the body.

Entirely unexpected Sergeant Sidney Sprout stepped off the train at Anderson and a few moments later surprised and gladdened the family when he entered the home he left early in the war. He was one of the first volunteers of the Putnam boys and was stationed in a training camp in Massachusetts before leaving for France. LETTERS FROM FRANCE to Dear Father: This is the first chance I have had tell about mv trip. We had a fine trip across and landed in Liverpool Aug. 11- and from there went to a camp in England at Southhampton. From there we went to Recoles, France. We started work at a school in France Aug. 20 learning the "tanks'' and digging trenches, also going over the top etc. and we are under Frenen officers as our Battalion was turned over to the French government. This school is not a playground but it is better than the regular trenches and there is less danger.2 November 1st our captain got a message to go to tha front and fight but when we were all ready word was received that the the armistice was signned; so we are at Recolea yet.

Sergeant Sprout says that the difference bstween a "rest" camp and an ordinary camp is that at a "rest" camp they do everything but rest. The last siglit inEngland before crossing the channel was a large hospital ship loaded with wounded soldiers from the front, staggering into port with its helpleBS cargo of human freight. The ship had been torpedoed by a submarine and was barely able to reach the nearest friendly land, but finally succeeded and discharged its precious cargo safe- The night was bright an • c'oar and e moon was shining, which is eal for submarines in their chase for From your son, Pvt.

Anthvaenose, whilt not so widespread, that seed is clean and free from disease. In connection with its effort to assist the stamping out of anthracnoae and blight in the state, the department of botany is offering to m«»ke free testa for these diseases if samples are submitted. These samples can be left with -county agents for forwarding to the college, or can be mailed direct to the Department of Botany, Michigan Agricultural college East Lansing. When inspection of the samples has been made a report is forwarded to farmers by the department, informing them as to whether the seed is safe for planting. _ There is plenty of good seed in Mich- II IW"o?rdT is, , alc, e^or1d;i4nEgly! fbeei*nngt 0se'n*t• "ea*t? t• o '*«>." dccUre, Dr. G.

Note: Since the lesson committee/ haa suggested the birth of Jesus, <% Christmas lesson, as an alternative feat this day, doubtless for most classes It will be desirable to use the Christmas lesson and substitute the alternative lesson for the review on December 29* The birth of the Saviour occurred at a most propitious time. The need was great, for the system a of morals and religion were tottering upon their foundation?. It was also a time of great opportunity, for the whole world was under one rule, making it possible for evangelists to go from city to city and country to country without fear or molestation. The place of his blrtb: was Bethlehem, as the prophet had foretold some seven hundred years before (Micah 5:2). God permitted the emperor to enforce a decree of taxation Just at the time to cause Mary to be at Bethlehem when she gave birth to the Saviour. That which the Word of God haa announced shall most surely come to pass, though its fulfillment seem most unlikely and "unreasonable. The surroundings of his birth were the most humble sort. The Almighty Creator condescended to take upon himself humanity—to be born in a manger, becoming the poorest of the poor that none might be hindered from coming to him. 1. The Saviour's Birth Announced (2:8-14). 1. To Whom—Shepherds (v. 8). Ia the first Christmas service the audience was composed of humble shepherds. The glorious gospel messagewas first sounded forth to these humble men while watching over their flocks by night. Poverty Is no barrier to the reception of the gospel message. God does not reveal himself mainly tc* the princes and great men of the earth. "Hath not God chosen the poor of thla world, rich In faith and heirs of the. kingdom?" (James 2:5). Neither didi their, devotion to their calling exclude them from this greatest favor of God. Moses, Gideon, Amos and Elisha were# called by the Lord from the busy activities of life. He never calls theidle. The Lord has no use for a lazy man. The working man is God's peculiar interest 2. By Whom—The Angel of the Lord! (v. 9). The first gospel sermon waa delivered by the angel of the Lord. Angels, the exalted ministers of God are Interested in men (Hebrews 1:14)-, and this one announced unto men God's plan of salvation. These beings no doubt sincerely sympathized with poor, sin-cursed, fallen men. 3. The Message—Good Tidings (v* 10). (1) A Saviour is born. Surely this was a gladsome message. Heath* en darkness which had so long cursed the earth was beginning to vanish* The casting out of Satan, the prince of the world, was .about to take place (John 12:31). Liberty was about to be proclaimed to those in bondage t o sin. The way of salvation was about to be opened to all. So glorious waa this news that a multitude of the lieae> enly host accompanied this announcement with their song of praise, -if- is through Jesus Christ that Go^S kittdness and good will are made known to> man. (2) Peace (v. 14). Peace wt*!i God—peace of heart—peace with man. How incongruous this message with our time! The world war was the NK suit of not receiving this blessed sage. (3) Joy (v. 1 0 ) / t h e message is a Joyful message because 1 frees from sin and removes all theT burdens of this world. It.

Be forgot everything. Waving sword, he burled himself into the eking ranks. They gave, and with *#y|heer the defenders swept on into -tJre main street, Mark leading them. How he fought that day he never knew; long afterward he would see Tlslona of It In sleep, and battle pictures that forever eluded his waking -consciousness. Round the little vll- -from unexpected places, hideous death traps caught the unwary and venturesome, sometimes a street was filled Tvith a jostling mob, too pucked to use "their steel, tearing at one another with fists and teeth. There was no order, and the command fell to him who lage, the key to the day's fortunes, the tide ebbed and flowed. Company after -company came up ou either side. Now -advancing, now driven back, the Americans fought from street to street and back again. -Machine guns opened fire*| seized It. Through all that nightmare Mark fought at the head *f his company, looking like a madman, as they said of him afterward. When he came to himself at last he found himself, unwounded, save for his bleeding arm, from which the bandage had long since -fallen, and in command of a battalion. They had driven the Germans from the last house of the village. The delay had saved the day. The reserves Tiad come pouring in. On the ridge beyond the enemy was marshaling for a last counter-attack. Mark looked about him. Lieutenants, •captains who should have commanded -companies, mingled with privates and noncoms, were following, as if hypnotized, this middle-aged private with the red cross on his arm. As Mark looked tils heart swelled with the consciousness and pride of leadership. And, at his glance, a roar went up that was caught up from man to man and sent -echoing into the distance. And Mark was swept away with unconquerable enthusiasm. It was his <Iay, the day of which every soldier •dreams. "Come along, boys! Break them up!" he shouted, and ran forward. With one resounding cheer the lines flwept after him. A ripple of mnchlnegun fire caught them, but could not hold them. Over the fallen they pressed on, cries of triumph upon their lips, the faces, set above the gleamlug bayonets, animated by a single purpose. And now they were upon them. Mark fought In the bloody swirl. Blades thrust at him, bullets tore his tattered uniform. Once he was down, and he saw a giant rush at him with •clubbed rifle. He raised his arm, he tried to drive with his sword, lunsed and missed. Then the uplifted rifle fell harmlessly beside him, and the Slant fell forward, dead, over him, pinning him to the ground, and covering him with his blood. A bayonet thrust t a d passed clean through his body. -And* booking up bewildered, Mark thought he saw Hartley's face look Into his own. Next moment Mark was on his feet again, and Hartley had vanished. But already the last tussle was over. The iSennans broke and fled. Mark -stood still, gasping. The men wore crowding all about him, waving their helmets on bayonet points, cheering him, shaking his hand. Across the field two mounted men were riding. They came up to the ridge, and one, a •hatred old officer, leaped to the and wrung Mark's hand, ftanks—our country's thanks to r* he cried. "What is your name?" looked -and saw the General's Insignia upon the officer's shoulder* straps, "Weston," he answered.

Even as he kissed her in return he saw the startled glance that she cast behind her, and, following it with his eyes, he saw a tall figure in uniform emerge from the recesses of the orifice; and again he stood face to face with Kellerman. Eleanor released him and stood, still clinging to him, at his side, her hand drawn through his arm. The contrast between the two men was extraordinary. Kellerman looked as if he had just stepped Into his uniform; his gloved hands, his adjusted belt, the creases in his tunic were those of the fashion-plate. Looking at Mark, he saw a dirty, grimed, almost unrecognizable figure, with uniform that hung about him in great tatters, blotched and stained with blood. "You said he would not come backV* cried Eleanor. "You see he has come back. What have you to say more?" "You misunderstood me, Eleanor—" "I understand you now for the first time in my life. I liked you, Major Kellerman. I trusted you and 1 believed in you. When you told me that you were working to get Captain Wallace his recognition I was glad, and proud of you both, and happy. What did you do?" "What did he do?" cried Kellerman furiously. "Why "should you believe evil things of me, because he said them—" "He never spoke one word against you!" "When the decision has already been made by an impartial court, anxious to clear a soldier's character, if that were possible?" "Because I have a woman's instinct, Major Kellerman." "Enough of this," Interposed Mark. "What are you doing here, sir?" He snapped the last word out in irony so bitter that Kellerman winced. "So you've cheated the firing party, Private Weston \u he said, with his habitual sneer. "O, call me Mark while you're about it," answered Wallace. "Or please remember that I am no longer under your command, nor a soldier in the American army. Technically I am a dead man, Major Kellerman, and dead men—" "Tell no tales, eh?" responded Kellerman savagely. "Well, here we stand man to man, and the conditions warrant phtln speaking. It is not my business to place you under arrest. But, If I do so, you are aware that your life will be worth about five minutes' purchase. So go, Mr. Weston, or Wallace, or whatever you call yourself now. Go —if Miss Eleanor here soys tire one word that will set you free. Go—and in this confusion you will have a reasonable chance to escape, with those ready wits of yours." "The one word?" Eleanor gasped. "The one word 'yes'," responded Kellerman. "I will never become your wife, Major Kellerman." MSo you told me the other day, after leading we to suppose that it was your intention," answered Kellerman easily. "Stop, Mr. Weston, if you please, and let me finish. War doesn't leave much sentimentality in a man. We know what life is worth, and we know that life's a matter of bargaining. When we were in America I might have accepted my dismissal, Eleanor. But here we three stand under the naked heaven, like ants on a hill. All artificial distinctions have fallen away. Fve loved you for many months, Eleanor, and I want to marry yon. That's the bald truth of if. In order to persnade you, I am willing to let this gentleman escape— to facilitate his escape, even to make our marriage dependent on my success. That's fair, isn't it? And, what have you against met Is i t my fault that he was court-martialed and sentenced to death for striking an officer?" The man's effrontery took Mark's breath away. "My answer," responded Eleanor steadily, "is •no/ And even if you could send him to his death it would still be •no.* Because he himself would wish that But you can't barm him. Something convinces me that all the harm that baa come to him baa come from you. And it telle me, too, that your power baa ended. *No,'is my answer," -And youre, Mr. Westonr asked Kettermaa, looking at Mark. Marie, aaabte to reply, pointed toward the ojptaaeg of the racen. KeHenaan *4a*rrt «** tiring man to aay. one, with a certain high-strung Idealism In it, due to the circumstances of your upbringing. It was that, I believe, which made you think it your duty to follow your adopted father's unit to the front. I think you ought to know who you are. Your father died on the battlefield of Santiago. He was a fugitive from Justice. He was the notorious Hampton." Mark uttered a cry. He sprang toward Kellerman, but Kellerman dealt him a blow that sent him stumbling among the bricks. "That's a He, Kellerman!" said Colonel Howard quietly. The old Colonel's eyes were wide open. He laid his hands laboriously upon the edge of the brlcfc wall and, with a great effort, raised himself to his feet. "That's a He," he repeated "It is no lie, Colonel Howard. You told the whole story to Captain Wallace in the hospital tent. Never mind how I know. I know." "You damned, dirty spy 1" said the old Colonel. "A confession," answered Kellerman blandly. "Your words were strong ones, Colonel Howard. Deny them if you can. You said, 'A thousand years of hell wouldn't atone for that crime.' You said 'it was calculated, coldblooded deliberation.' You said, 'The case against Hampton was absolutely prpven. He was to have been hanged as soon as we captured Santiago. He was born rotten. He sold his country to pay his gambling debts.' And you called him by the worst name one man can call another. That was why you tried to persuade Mark Wallace not to adopt Hampton's child. Like father, like daughter." He swung round upon Eleanor, and for the first time seemed to lose his self-control. "That's who you are!" he cried. "The child of a wretched traitor, who worked in the war department with Colonel Swept on Into the Main Street, Mark Leading Them. Howard and me, a man without honor, entangled with a wretched woman spy, who sold our secrets. And that man— your adopted father, whom you love and revere, spied on him in turn, watched him, read his letters, went through his pockets, snared him, trapped him, brought him to his dete& e—and adopted you." Eleanor staggered toward the Colonel, her arras raised imploringly, and cried for a choking voice: "Say It's untrue 1 Only say that It's untrue!" I t ' s a damned lie," said the Colonel; but there was not the least conviction fh hie voice. •Tell me the truth V* "It's true, then—it's more or 1 true," said Howard wearily. "It's not t r u e r shouted Mark. "Remember, Colonel, the man*f face had been practically blown away. How do we know that It w a s Hampton who was with the child?

"Tell me what you think, Cuptain Mark," she pleaded. And once more Mark was mute. She read his face as if by inches. She turned toward Kellerman. "Now will you go?" she asked. Kellerman saluted her with mock formality. "I'll go," he said, "but he's spent his chance. A spy's daughter and a spy's—" The ambulance bearers appeared at the entrance to the recess. They bore a stretcher. Propped up in it, swathed in a bloody clout of bandages, wus Hartley. "There he Is!" he cried, pointing his hand in triumph. "I knew he'd come this way. He's here, sir 1" he cried to some one outside the orifice. The stretcher bearers set down their burden on a ledge of the wall. Into the little place strode the General. His appearance there exercised a parading effect upon ihem all. Kel- Jerman was the first to recover his selfpossession. He saluted stiffly, "This man," he said, pointing to Mark, "is the prisoner who was to have been executed this morning." The General, without a word, strode toward Mark and clasped him by the hand. Ketyerman gulped and moved toward the entrance for the last time. The General turned. "Halt, sir!" he commanded. "Colonel Howard, will you have the goodness to go to the man on the—why, I beg your pardon, Colonel! Not badly hurt?" "Nothing much, sir," answered the Colonel, attempting to make the passage. The General gave him his arm and assisted him, and, when he stood still, placed one arm about him to steady him. "Do you recognize that man?" he asked. The Colonel stiffened; Kellerman fell back against the wall. "As I'm a living man," cried Colo< nel Howard, "it's Hampton !" C H A P T E R X V I I . Hartley sat up on the stretcher and fixed his eyes on Howard's face. It was evident that he was desperately wounded. One of the orderlies kneeled beside him and held him. "This man." said the General, chewing at his mustache in emotion which he could not altogether hide, "was once an oflieer in the service of our country. He was engaged in confidential work in the war department. lie was accused of espionage—unjustly accused." With a low cry Eleanor rushed forward and kneeled beside the stricken man; she placed her arms about him and drew his head down upon her shoulder, looking piteously into the weary eyes. Hampton raised her hand to his lips and kissed it. "Unjustly accused," repeated the General. "Major Kellerman, stand to attention, sir! You shall be heard later. He was the victim of the System, which was even then laying its plans In Washington, He was the victim of a woman named Marsheim— Hilda Morsheim, whose activities were well known, though we could then do nothing to counteract them. She made a specialty of luring young officers into gambling dens, winning lqjge sums from them, and thus leading them down the slope toward disgrace and death. "She had a confederate who was highly placed in the war department. When, by their united. efforts, they failed to make a traitor of Captain Hampton, they compassed his ruin. How they did so I need not describe now, The facts are of record; It is enough to say that they succeeded. Hampton*was driven into exile; but they were not satisfied with that. They broke his career, they drove him from the company of all decent men. But that was not enough. They broke bis wife's heart; she died. They made his name one of execration. Still they were not satisfied. With devilish in* genuity they sought to cover their tracks by making it appear that Hampton was stilt carrying on his trade, still selling government secrets. You aee why, Colonel t" he continued, turning to "Howard. "Because they themselves were continuing their vile work, and the new leakages bad to be accounted tor."

As the army and navy were the will of the nation mobilized for victory in war. so is the Red Cross the soul of the nation mobilized far sendee in poace. Even after the formal terms of peace are signed it will take months, even yc»rs, for our present work to be completed. The sober task of withdrawal cannot keep pace with the tense strain of the accomplishment when first we rushed our mighty army Mross the water to save the liberty of the world. We have two and a quarter millions of men oversea*, flung there with undreamed of speed. It will take three times as long to bring them bock. So long as one regiment remains, the Red Cross, as always, WILL STAND BY. All over our land there are soldiers' homes in need of information, of counsol. of sympathy and comfort Until the boys come home, until all these families are reunited, the Red Cross. as usual, WILL STAND BY. On a hundred hard-fought fields there are heroes' graves to be identified, marked and honored1—and here at home are thousands of hearts to be comforted by the knowledge of where -their loved ones are sleeping. So long as sorrow comes into these homes, the Red Gross, as ever, WILL STAND BT.

One of the points of strength in America's agricultural organization has been found during the war to be central organizations of farmers to plan and develop the best methods of fanning for their region. That these alike, and acting as a clearing house for every other association interested in work with rural people. Its primary purposes are : (1) To bring to the agent the counsel and advice of the be^t farmers in the county as to what ought to be done and how to do it. (2) To provide an organization for easily and quickly reaching every community in the county with information of value to that community or to the county as a whole. (3) To provide a plan for organized self-help, enlisting the co-operation of all fanners interested in carrying out a county agricultural program of work. Membership is open to all residents of the county directly Interested in agriculture, men and women alike. A small memberbhip fee (usually $1) Is charged.

The perfecting of this organization is highly desirable, not only during the continuance of the present abnormal conditions, but also for the future. The local, ns well as the state and federal agencies, are of supreme importance to the nation in all its activities designed to make rural life more profitable, healthful and attractive, and, therefore, to secure adequate economic production, efficient distribution and necessary conservation." Supporting County Agent Work. The county organizations, known as county councils, county bureaus of agriculture, or farm bureaus, often employ a county and a home demonstration agent and aid them rn their work. They usually are composed of farmerg and others in the county interested In agriculture. At present there are more than 1,000,000 farmers who are members of organizations assisting the county agent ia his work. In the South.

Times without number, wells have been sunk to great depths In the belief that eventually a plentiful supply would be reached, only to find that water was not there, or that it was unfit for use, or that a mere hole or sump had been created which served but to drain water from relatively near the surface. There is no short cut and no better guide in this matter than information as to the kind, thickness, porosity, and dip of the strata of the region and of the results obtained in neighboring wells, study of the land slopes and character of the vegetation, and examination for evidences of seeps and springs. Regarding the use of a forked willow, hazel, or peach stick for locating underground water, it can be said safely the method Is without merit, although so-called forked-stick artists from their experience and observation of surface conditions usually are bet* ter able to Judge of the probabilities FOES SEEK TO HALT ALLIES ALONG RHINE GERMANS ARE TAKEN ALL POSSIBLE MEASURES TO HAVE ALLIE8 HALTED EAST OF RHINE.

Amsterdam.—Herr Kuckhoff, writing in the Koelnische Volkszeitung, protests against "illegal and arbitrary action" of the Ebert government in making impossible assembling of the reichstag, which he says has not been dissolved. The Berliner Tageblatt Says. "All possible measures must be talten to prevent Foch's armies marching into Germany east of the Rhine. The reichstag is the only assembly with mandate to speak in the name of the people." Scheidemann Takes Blame. Copenhagen.—"At behest of the Entente, we disarmed ourselves and we are ready to take the consequences," Philop Scheidemann, German majonty socialist leader, declared in an interview with the Berlin corcespondent of the Berlinske Tidende. "There is no occasion for alarm and foolish attempts to throw dust in the eyes of America, England and France," continued Scheidemann. "Such attempts might as well cease. They do not deceive anyone.

Jenkins, who had gone to the store that sold everything, happened to notice, while the assistant was serving him, a dollar lying on the floor near by his foot—a whole round, silver dollar. Quivering with excitement and glancing cautiously round to see that no one was watching him, he dropped —quite accidentally, of course—one of his gloves oij top of the coin, Thea, bending, he proceeded to pick up his glove; but the dollar did not accompany it. The elusive coin still remained where it was—upon the floor. He made a second attempt to get hold of it, but with the same result. Then, just as he was contemplating the wisdom of a third endeavor, a salesman came up to him and said: VGood evening, s i r ! May I be allowed to show you a bottle of our fa-r mous liquid glue?

Waistlines Are Capricious; Sleeves of Various Styles; Supply of Silk Is Wondrous; Woolens Limited. Everywhere one sees new clothes. At first glance they seem quite like the mode of yesterday—and one resolves with firmness to wear the things left over. One looks again, relates a writer in Harper's Bazar, and discovers a difference which lies not in the outlines but in a host of clever, artfully planned details—and one's resolution flies on wings. ID style all frocks are slim and simple— or at least they give that Impression. The skirts are of the well-known "hobble" type, but they have all the delights and one of the regrets of the hobble we used to struggle with so valiantly. Instead of the uncomfortably close confines of other days, the new skirts are so skillfully folded and draped that though the slender lines are scrupulously maintained, the wearer has plenty of room in which to brave the curbstones! Waistlines are indeed capricious, for while some reach aspiring heights, others startle with their length. A few staid and sober ones insist on being normal. -Of girdles there are a-plenty. If one would have the swathing kind ;—nnd one surely will—remember that it begins at the normal waistline and is draped to give the effect of a long, slender waist. Sleeves, always a law unto themselves, are long and tight at times, again only three-quarters. Some are drnped and some are "bells;" some are banded with fur and some with heavy material. Though the straight neckline is still much liked, distinctive col- GOWN FOR AFTERNOON WEAR NOVEL SKATING SET OF SILK This Is a decidedly novel and smartlooking skating set of smoke-gray silk duvetyn with a cross bar design of navy chenille.

And never were there such wondrous silken stuffs.! Wools there are—rough homespuns, duvetyns, velours and jerseys—for suits and wraps that one may wear without a qualm, for the materials were manufactured and purchased long before there was any question of conservation. The supply, of course, is limited, and the tariff proportionately high. AMONG NEW VEILS AND HATS Close Face Covering Is Invariably Worn by Majority of Well- Dressed American Women. Volumes could be written about the veil of the well-dressed American woman of today. Without the invariable close veil she never ventures abroad in the daylight hours. One sees scarcely three smart flowing veils—If, of course, one excepts the motor veil— during the entire season. All the possibilities of a veil are only realized by one who has experimented with various kinds and colors. It was to the veil that accompanied it that might be ascribed much of the effectiveness of the little hat of henna-brown satin recently seen, says Vogue. A wisp of darker brown feathers shot almost directly back from the left side of the brim, and a dark-brown tracery veil gave wonderful tints to the wearer's delicately bronzed skin. A sable cape thrown over the shoulders completed this harmony of warm brown. There is a distinct predominance of small hats in the smart autumn millinery. Satin, velvet and beaver are among the most popular materials, and these assume soft dark tones, such as dull blue, gray, taupe and brown. The new henna brown, which is a shade bordering on terra cotta, while consider ably in evidence In autumn costumes, has not to any Important degree invaded the field of millinery.

A third of the brim is of heavily quilted and paoied velvet, and a wing is fastened dat against the upper aide of the brim just at the edge of the quilted part. Smocking and shirring, as well as quilting and padding* are used In other new models. The hats so treated are usually rather large, soft shapes. the sake of shape and for decorative ness. * Another remedy for the harsh crown difficulty, and one almost nniversa 11 j becoming, Is to replace half the std* of the crown and the lid with th« more yieldy material. According re this method, yon will slice off the tot of the crown and as much of the stdt as will five you a becoming crown height. Then gather the new mate rial as usual. FOUND WHAT CHARM NEEDED <**im. Magician Finally Discovered Just What Was Lacking in Magic That insured Happiness. An old legend tells of a magician who claimed that he had found how to make a charm to insure happiness. Then as pupils flocked to him he set them to making a small lnosakor picture out of various tiny colored stones. Bach stone represented a single one of the elements that muke up happiness. When the mosaicwas done it was to be a charm that woiild insure happiness for all the rest of Ufe. But, alas! though the mosaic was put together ever so carefully, it did not work as he had planned. One after another his pupils left him in ^ a p - pointment, their faces as sad, their hearts as heavy, as when they came. "It must work!" sighed the magiclan. "I have studied the rules until I know I am right. I have just the right proportion of good -health, success, wealth, education, leisure and all the other things needed." Then 'one day oaiue a new pupil, who put together the mosaic of happiness, and when it was done he took it as a gift to a friend whom he loved. And this mosaic proved to have the desired charm, for it gave happiness both to the one who made It and the one who received it. "Ah!" said the magician. "I have found now what was missing in my happiness mosaic. It can become a sure charm only when it is made for others."

A Washington housewife employs a negro servant girl, who sweeps nn<! dusts on the theory that you don't have to worry about the dirt you don't happen to see. The other day her mistress was making an inspection of a bedroom which the girl had }ust cleaned up in preparation for an expected guest who was known to be very fastidious. The woman looked under the bed nnd saw there a very visible deposit of fuzz and dust. Calling the girl to the spot, she pointed this deposit out to her and asked: ""What do you call that, Pearline?" "What does I call dat?" asked the shifty maiden, in the effort to gain time. "Why, don't you all know what flat is? Dat ain't dirt. It's house moss, ma'am; yes'm—dat's Jes' house moss."'—Pathfinder.
