By Captain GEORGE I. KILMER. THE assassination on June 28, 1914, of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne, quickly resulted in the outbreak of a world -war. When Austria-Hungary pressed her demands upon Servia for reparation Russia championed the little Slav nation. Germany declared that her Austro-Hungarian ally must hare a "free hand" in dealing with flervia, and the storm broke. The first two years of the war, from August, 1914, to August, 1916, were marked by the subjugation of nearly all of Belgium, part of northern France, all of Servia and the greater part of Russian Poland by the German armies. Russia-conquered and tlen lost a large slice of Austrian territory in Galicia. Following the invasion of Belgium in August, 1914, Great Britain and France -entered the war as the allies of Russia. The German march toward Paris, through Belgium and France, was effectually checked at the river Marne early in September, 1914, and in the weeks following the opposing lines in France and Belgium were established practically where they remained for the next two years. Italy entered the war m May, 1915, and attacked Austria by land, east and northeast of Venice. *fhe first year of tbe war saw the fall of Warsaw and the extension of the German front to the Dvina river, midway between Warsaw and Petrograd. In 1916, the second year of the war, the Germans at* eked with great force the French forress of Verdun, but were unable, to reit This event was followed by a rted drive by tbe French and BrhV ln northern France against the German lines along the Ancre and Somme rivers. Throughout tbe first two years varius local campaigns were inaugurated y the allies, notably for the capture Constantinople (the Turks having Joined the Teutonic powers late in 1914), with an expedition In Mesopotamia to support i t The move afainst « e Turkish capital failed, and the force* were transferred to Greece) to operate against the central powers in the Balkans, where the Bulgarians were fighting for Germany.

The greatest'naval battle or tne war, fought off Jutland in May, 1917, was a draw, and tbe large vessels have not taken decisive part in the progress of the war. In 1915 Germany started a system of drastic submarine warfare, primarily intended to blockade the ports of her foes. Belligerent and neutral alike were made to suffer in the submarine zones throughout 1915 and 191G, and airtndirect result of Germany's naval policy was tbe entrance of the United States into the war.

When you toil for others you are entitled to pay. The causes that are increasing the cost of living ore increasing the cost of doing business for your grocer. Since it takes more money for you to feed your familj, it takes more money for your grocer to buy his stock. By purchasing only what you need, you make it possible for your neighbor to obtain what he needs. By paying promptly for what you buy, you are practising real economy. Long credits cost money and the merchant must be reimbursed for making them. You can "do your bit" in the present adjustment of food stuff prices by helping your grocer keep down the high cost of doing business, which will is tarn help keep down prices. This enables your grocer to pay his bills promptly, thus saving his discounts. He operates on a small capita, makes a small profit and, hense must pay his bills regularly. When he buys cheaper he sells cheaper. When he saves yon save. Please remember this, if you assist your grocer along these lines be will be better able to serve yon as the time. Mail order booses may picture to you a smaH saving on a bill of groceries, but have yoo ever offered your grocer tbe order on mail order terms? Do these concerns place a Joaf of bread, a pound of batter or a dose* of eggs on TOOT table joat when you want them? Why not apery tbe golden role? It worts both ways. Do by yoor grocer aa yoo would have him do by yoo. Be fair. Be loyal to year borne grocer. By working with b i s a'oog tbeae tine*, yoo increase bis ability to serve you - to save for yoo.

"My food would not digest but would just lay in my stm;i;uh and sour and the gas formed \.\ it would crowd around my heart so at times that I could hardly breathe.

"I am just now half through with my third bottle of Tanlac and honestly it has done me more good than all the other medicines I ever took combined. I don't have to live on milk and stale bread any more. The fact is I can eat meats, fruits, vegetables and anything I want and it all agrees with me. I am simply feeling like a new woman and my work is now a pleasure instead of a burden as it was before. Tanlac certainly has been a wonderful thing for me."

In the Imperial valley of California they nre making fortunes raising cotton this year—sudden dramatic fortunes. Everything about the Imperial valley seems 11» have the dnunutlc Quality; its story would make n blistering desert where n buzzard could scarcely live. And then the government harnessed the Colorado river and the desert was veined with irrigating csnals, and plowed and planted, and for the first time since the primordial floods subsided, a tint of green and growing things spread over the salley. C'ottpn arrived in 1006. It came In the shape of a box of seed under the sent of a farm wagon driven by a Texas homesteader. He asked why they didn't raise cotton thereabouts, and they «aid because if wouldn't grow. And so, being from Texas, which is something like Missouri, he planted his little store of cottonseed, and It came up and opened its snowy bolls to the wonderment of all beholders. Furhermore, the next ypnr it came up and bore again without another planting. The Texan's little cotton field spread like a drop of%>utter on a hot pan. It clothed the barrenness of the desert in its fleece. And it brought to the men who owned the land more hard iron dollars than ever they had seen before. There are 50,000 acres of cotton In the Imperial valley this year and there are going to be many more next year. And even better than the <>ntton crop Is the human crop, which this desert has borne; for it is peopled by men who own their own farms and are prosperous. Inaiatent "That," said the physician, as he examined the lump on the man's neck, "Is the remains of an old boll that started to come and then became encysted there." "Well,- Raid the unlettered patient "it haa sure encysted on staying there." It Is useless for a man to studv who doesn't think. OUft GROCER.

Lanstng. To provide for care ot members in capacitated in war service and to sustain their dependents .the Michigan State Medical society has asaetibed every member ?5. This fund, according to thoae in charge, means that Michigan doctors at war need not worry about their dependents. Moreover, if they themselves are wounded or taken ill, they will receive the beat medical attention available. Major Andrew P. Biddle, president of the society, has announced that the money will be turned over prorata to the patriotic committee of each county medical society for use. As soon as the present fund is exhausted, another levy of $5 per member will be made. "Thi3 is a patriotic move on the part of doctors who remain behind," explained Major Biddle. "Many Michigan doctors have sacrificed much to serve their country, and are deserving of our solicitude." The fund haa nothing to do with one to be raised by the Wayne County Medical society, by assessing its members not leas than 3 per cent and not more than 8 per cent of their Income, to be paid in monthly installments, for the Wayne county doctors who answer the call to the colors. (Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Uolon.) BOOMERANG ARGUMENTS. .Replying ia public debate to the liquor man's argument for compensation, Dr. Clarence True Wilson "Said: ''Suppose we grant that they (the United States and the liquor seller) are partners. Suppose two thieves are in business to rob. One of them 'hits the trail1 and gives up robbery and crime. Would you say the other thief has a case for damages for injury to his business by the conversion of his partner? "When we stopped piracy on the high seas, did we compensate the pirate? When we stopped lotteries, did we compensate those who conducted them? Have we compensated dealers in dope whose business was destroyed by the Harrison act?" Another point made much of by Doctor Wilson's opponent was that the first year after prohibition went into effect in West Virginia the governor of the state had to appeal to the legislature for additional tax measures to make up for the loss in revenue from liquor. "And in the second year," Doctor Wilson replied, "West Virginia swept her state debt off the map. Today she stands among the leading states of the Union in the amount of surplus in her treasury."

Millions F»rmtn Exempt Till September, Men who believe they will he exempt from army duty because their presence on farms will be necessary for the harvesting of crops will find that the exemption boards will not listen to any such plea. If they are otherwise within the selective draft law they will be temporarily exempted, but the call to the colors will come toward the latter part of September. This in substance is a ruling by Provost Marshal Crowder received by Major Samuel Pepper. The farmer and the farmers' hired men, physicallyl fit and without such dependents as come within the selective draft law, will be considered just as good timber for the national army as the city man. It had been the idea in this state, before this ruling, that the farm help was to be given a temporary discharge which practically exempted it from the first call. On this basis many farmers and their sons and many hired men on the farms been feeling safe from the call. of dollars are each year taken from the pockets of workingmen and put into the pockets of the brewers. Beer is a very taking article. have State Guard in Federal Service. Except for a few officers who have not been called to active duty, there is now no more Michigan national guard. Under the president's call, which brought the last state troops into federal service August 5, on that date all the guardsmen were drafted into federal service. By drafting the guard on the same date, though groups were called at different times, the question of seniority of officers is settled. All are in federal service as of August 5. Michigan's regiments will not be known by the numbers they bear now. Neither will the other guard organizations of the United States. The organizations will be kept intact, but the guardsmen will receive numbers where the regular army regiments end. That means that Michigan's numbers will be well up in the hundreds. All officers will have to purchase new collar devices, while the government win have to change the collar ornaments of the men. The president may send the guardsmen anywhere now, the discharge from the national guard and the draft Into the federal service doing away with restriction* which made the national guard only a national defense. For all practical purposes, the guard is the same as the regular army, the officers and men being entitled to the same pay and allowances. Promotion of officers is governed by a special law, however. ALCOHOL GETS MEDICAL TABOO. At the annual meeting of the house of delegates of the American Medical association, held In New York in June, a resolution was adopted condemning the use of alcohol. Such resolution was presented by Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago, chairman of the association's council of health and public instruction, and after discussion was passed as follows : "Whereas, We believe that the use of alcohol is detrimental to the human economy, and whereas its use in therapeutics as a tonic or stimulant or for food has no scientific value, therefore "Be it resolved, That the American Medical association is opposed to the use of alcohol as a beverage; and "Be it further resolved, That the use of alcohol as a therapeutic agent should be further discouraged." The American Medical association has a membership of 81,000 physicians and surgeons. NEW OCCASION IN SHIP-LAUNCH INQ. Three boats—large cannery tenders* for the Alaska fisheries—were recently launched from one shlp-bullding plant in Seattle. Each was christened with the sparkling nonalcoholic beverage, applestaff. The bottles we're entwined in the national colors and hung from the three prows on silken ropes of red, white and blue. The three young women sponsors, said the Seattle Times, carried out the triple ceremony with great brilliancy. The crash of the bottles, sounding at ten-second intervals, bathed the bows of the vessels In glistening foam. "The new christening beverage made good In whirlwind style. Not a hitch, not a halt of pause of any kind, which means, according to tradition, that It is safe and sane to christen* snip with the new Seattle beverage.** Fairs Asked far Patriotic Days. Gov. Sleeper has issued a proclamation to boards managing all fairs in Michigan to set aside one day for patriotic demonstrations and programs. This is done to arouse citizens to realisation of the necessity of giving proper equipment to soldiers leaving this state, giving care and attention to the wounded and otherwise doing everything they can to bring about an equal distribution of the burden of r. THE WHOLE TRUTH. -A lie that is part the troth Is ever the blackest of lies," A part truth, sccording to a-Honor Journal: "Kansas, booe-dry, has 75 mote prisoners In the penitentiary than It had when drissUng The whole truth:, The Kansas penitentiary la a federal prison and the United 8tates government sends, more prisoners there than to any other federal prison because tt has plenty of •pare room for outsiders and Because ft is a model of its kind, improving both the health and the morals of its inmate" In order that we may help win the «var against autocracy, Americans must do everything possible to furnish sufficient food to help our fighting allies. We must eat more perishable and semiperishable food at home in order that the staple articles, such as wheat, may be sent abroad in great amounts. In a couple of weeks we will begin harvesting apples all over the country. This is a war crop. It will amount to two bushels for every man, woman and child In the United States. The motto this year is: "Eat an apple and send a biscuit." War conditions also confront th* apple growers, for there is a scarcity of pickers, and careful preparations must now be made to see that this crop is all safely harvested and put into storage. Now is the time to begin organizing picking crews In every apple growing section. A survey of the situation shows that the farmer will need co-operation from business" men in the towns and cities round about at which he trades, and which have Just as great an interest In this crop as the farmer himself. This is emergency organization work to be taken up immediately by chambers of commerce, boards of trade, state and county councils of defense, and business men generally. The labor supply to harvest this crop exists right in the cities adjacent to the apple orchards in most cases, but the draft and demands of factories and railroads for labor have disturbed the normal supply of workj ers upon which the farmer usually draws, and It Is necessary to recruit new kind's of workers. People who have never regarded themselves as apple pickers may this year be asked to go to the orchards and help get in the crop for patriotic reasons. The organization work should take the form of an immediate survey of labor resources to see where a picking force Is to be recruited. Stores and factories can often release clerks and workmen for this service If notified In time. Families who would like a week or two of vacation in the country with light, healthy outdoor work at satisfactory wages, may also be Induced to Join the picking army. It has been suggested that the schools might be opened later this year so that boys and girls can be sent to the orchards, but this will not be necessary In all cases. One very good source of pickers can be found among the women's organizations of this country, which are all keenly interested in helping in any practical patriotic work. Mnch is heard about the scarcity of labor, but there is not as great a scarcity as most people imagine. Workers upon whom the farmer depends in ordinary times have simply been shifted into other occupations, and war conditions demand tbnt business men Step In, locate other classes of workers who can be shifted to the orchards for this emergency and see that the farmer has plenty of help. There will probably be some difficulty in harvesting the apple crop with these volunteer workers, many of whom have no experience at the work. Perishable fruit must be handled carefully to prevent injury to the skin and bruises. These would later cause decay when the apples go into storage. The principles of careful fruit picking are very simple, and easily understood. If the fanner can start with two or three experienced pickers and spend a little time explaining good picking methods to his volunteers he should get excellent results, for these volunteers, while new to the work, will also be people of good average intelligence, and the war. emergency will appeal to their Interest so that they will be more than ready to help harvest the crop skillfully. Apple growers are advised to get In touch with the business organisations in their nearest town, ask that help be given in securing pickers and report the number of pickers needed by themselves. One of the greatest difficulties in organizing harvest hands for any crop Is that of gathering accurate Information as to how many helpers are needed on each farm and in each township. For lack of such Information It very often happens that one township will be handicapped because tt Is without sufficient helpers and a township twenty-five or thirty miles away will have a surplus of workers. By ascertaining in advance Just how many workers will be needed in each locality, business organisations win be tble to recruit a sufficient force lysaptoa violent • DR. B. SCHIFFWUW?

Some time ago a young woman was bequeathed a beautiful old andiron, and during the next few weeks she roamed many miles to seek It a suitable mate. Failing in this and knowing that one andiron i9 just about as useful as skates in Brazil, she quietly disposed of it to a pawnbroker. "Oh, Bessie," enthusiastically exclaimed the young woma.n'8 sister, rushing into the house with a package a few days later, "I have found a mate for your andiron! It is too perfectly lovely for anything!" "You have?" eagerly responded Bessie. "Let tne see it! Where did you get it? How much—" "Here it is," said sister, undoing the package. "I was passing a pawnshop the other day and saw it in the window. I knew it was just like—why, what's the matter? Are you going to faint?" "No, dear," answered Bessie, with a soulful sigh. "I will try to be brave. I will try to be strong. But it Is something of n shock to see you toting back the same poor old andiron that I hocked a week ago."—-Philadelphia Record.

USES TURF INSTEAD OF COAL Switiertand, on Account of the War, Is Forced to Fall Back on Peat as Fuel. According to a report to the department of commerce from William I\ Kent, consul at Heme, Switzerland, the exigencies of war, and the inability to import coal in quantity suflicient to meet the needs of the population have induced the Swiss government, through a seini-'oftieinl organization, known as the Science Co-operative Suisse de la Tourbo, whose address Is Berne, to resort to the use of turf or peat as a substitute or to supplement the Insufficient iupply of coal. The association is in the market for the purchase of Improved machinery for cutting, raising, drying, and compressing turf. Turf or pent as a fuel Is not a satisfactory and complete substitute for coiil. on accouni of its low calorific properties, particularly for steam generation, but in those portions of the United States where it abounds it may he used to advantage for domestic consumption by admixture with coal, not only saving the cost of distant transportation of coal, but producing sufficient heat at a much reduced cost. PREPARATORY WORK FOR FALL AND WINTER What about the winter window garden? Now is the time for much work that cannot be delayed. One of the best winter blooming geraniums is the Mrs. E. G. Hill. Many old plants should be discarded and new ones started. Do not let the geraniums get leggy. Finch into shape. Pinch out oil buds from plants intended for the window garden. Late started plants are not satisfactory. Begin now. Clean, scour, sun and put in place the pots for winter. Have every vessel clean. Use charcoal In your drainage. Dead coals from wood ashes are us good as any. Repot all plants needing it, cutting back severely. Don't try to keep everything. Try to have your plants at their best when it is time to take them indoors. Finch and prune into good shape. Get seedling primroses from the florist now. Keep them growing and thrifty for winter blooming. The peristrophe variegata is a good bracket plant and a free bloomer. For winter blooming get dormant tuberous- rooted begonias. Give each tuber a pot by Itself. If one has no plants, and cannot afford to buy, the seedlings of many garden plants ore easily cared for, Many are very satisfactory. The Zanzibar balsarn-lrapatiens sultana is always in bloom, always beautiful, easily cared for. A fine window plant. Slips of fuchsias, heliotropes, petunias, coleus and other soft-wooded plants root readily in moist sand. Slip now. DAISIES By L. M. BENNINGTON. No flower In all the garden series Is more beloved than the star-eyed daisy. or marguerite. And, perhaps no flower has undergone a more decided Improvement, than this same flower, which fills the meadow spaces with its nodding white and in better soil looks stately from the gnrden path. The daisy should have a place in the garden. They make delightful borders to beds of taller growing annuals and can be used very effectively in beds of spring blooming bulbs. Daisies may be sown in March, and later for succession, in shallow boxes of light, rich soil. Cover the seed to about three times their own thickness and press the soil firmly over them. Keep the box in a warm window, greenhouse or hotbed. Transplaat to new boxes and set out in the open ground when danger from frost is past. Daisies can be sown in beds outside in August or September. They must be protected with straw or litter through the winter and transplanted to their permanent position in the spring. The South African orange daisy has become a great favorite. It was introduced a few years ago and has been made much of at the flower shows and is used largely on big estates. It is excellent for borders and as a pot plant. GARDEN NOTES. If the garden has been thoroughly cultivated early in the season, there is little weeding to be done. Yet, a few late weeds will strive for supremacy if not conquered. One of the most persistent now, us earlier, is the chick weed, which grows in such dense masses as to choke out everything else. Keep it cleaned out. If thrown Into a pile it will be decomposed In a few weeks into a light soil rich in humus. If the cabbages are slow about heading, or the heads lack firmness, sprinkle with salt and water. This will also tend to.kep the worms down. Because you have plenty of land, do not think it is of no value. Have you used your garden \o the utmost capacity? Intensive gardening has already coroe where there Is most profit in the occupation. If you have not applied this principle, see how you can get more out of the ground.

Honest Advertising TIIS is A topic we all bear now-a-days because so many people are inclined to exaggerate. Yet has any physician told yon that we claimed unreasonable remedial properties for Fletcher's Caatoria? Just ask them. We won't answer it ourselves, w« know what the answer will be. That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to be found in its increased use, the recommendation by prominent physicians, and our assurance that its standard will be maintained. Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Caatoria that Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestly advertised, Honestly placed before the public, and from which he Honestly expects to receive his reward. /n& . Genuine Caatoria always bears the signature of When Women are Weak Women who feel weak, languid and depressed— who look pale and dull eyed, and have lost appetite and fresh looks—need a tonic that will purify the blood, help the organs o{ digestion, regulate the liver and bowels, and strengthen the system.

SPECULATION WILL BE CURBED Elevators and Mills Over 100 Barrels Daily Capacity Must Take Out Government License. Washington The food administration, announced Sunday night, its plan lor controlling wheat, flour and bread, revealing that the government is prepared to take over the whole 1917 wheat harvest if necessary to conserve the supply, obtain just prices for America's fighting forces and their Allies and reduce costs to the public in the United States. Establishing of buying agencies at all the principal terminals, licensing of elevators and mills, fixing of a price to be considered fair, regulation of the middle man and of grain exchanges, with the elimination of trading in futures, are the chief features of the plan. The licensing will begin September 1. The minimum price of $2 for wheat fixed by congress does not become effective until next year, but the administration proposes to exercise a thorough control over this year's crop through powers conferred under the food and export control bills The government will prosecute all persons who hold more wheat or flour than is required in their business. In order to eliminate speculation in wheat and flour, all elevators and mills over 100 barrels daily capacity will be required to take out a government license. No wheat Bhall be stored for more than 30 days, without the approval of the government. < M I FOR SOMEBODY'S BOY LEGALITY OF DRAFT LAW TO BE TESTED U. S.

New York—Two members of exemption board 99, I.ouis I. Cherry and Dr. S. J. Bernfeld, were deposed and arrested in the allegd conspiracy to evade the selective draft law. A third man, Kalman Gruber, said to have been a "go between" was also nabbed. Intimation that the federal authorities would take action came from .John C. Knox, assistant United States attorney. False and incorrect physical examinations, exemptions, enlistments, enrollments and discharges, false statements as to fitness and liability to aid men to avoid the draft law and failure to perform their duties, are specifically charged against Cherry and Bernfeld. Mr. Knox said that involved in the investigation in the cage by federal agents was evidence that bribes of $200 to $500 had enabled drafted men to obtain exemption. There were indications, he declared, that a go-between has acted for the men seeking exemption. All of the men exempted from military service by the local exemption board in district 99 will be re-examined by a new board. O.S.

Washington—Predicting a cut in retail bard coal prices and condemning a September 1 boost of more than 10 cents unless miners' wages are increased, the federal trade commission has declared that dealers who raise their prices will be guilty of profiteering. The statement was issued after a heated session between the commission and representative Washington coal dealers whose profits, in the opinion' of the commission based on the dealers' own figures, have been excessive on both bituminous and anthracite coal in the last few months. According to the figures, gross profits on bituminous coal sometimes were as high as $5 a ton and the net profits on anthracite were $1.25 to $1.35 a ton. These profits were declared unjustified. Washington—The administration's program for insuring soldiers, sailors and marine has been placed before congress in identical bills introduced by Senator Simmons and Representative Alexander. Under the terms of the bill, Soldiers, sailors and marines would be enabled to obtain insurance during the war in sums from $1,000 to $10,000, the government takirg the risk and the men paying the premium. The rate would be approximately $8 per $1,000 of insurance and the premiums would be payable by installments out of pay. The chief innovation in the bill is the proposal to compel men and officers to allot a minimum of $15 a month out of their pay to dependent wives and children. Authority also is proposed to compel the men to be insured to deposit, at four per cent interest, with the government and at the discretion of the war and navy departments, so much of their pay as is represented by the difference between the $15 family allotment and half their regular pay. Provision is made for payment of allowances of $5 to $50 monthly by the government to families of men in service. Indemnities for partial and total disability would vary from a minimum of $40 a month for privates up to $200 for higher officers. The education of Injured men in vocations by which they could earn a livelihood also is provided. Passage of Food Control Bill Means Huge Saving to Detroit. Detroit—On the face of coal bids received by the city, Detroit stands to save $950,000, directly due to the passage of legislation controlling food and fuel by congress. About a month ago Mayor Marx received bids that quoted bituminous steam coal at $8 a ton. The mayor decided to wait and see what effect the pending legislation would have. That the city is we!! rewarded for this patience is indicated by bids received now. Several of the bids quoted fuel at $3.25 a ton. Thus a saving of $4.75 is effected. The supply needed by the city is estimated at 200,000 tons. Washington—The constitutionality of the selective military conscription law is to be settled once -for all by tfie United States supreme court. The test is to come up in connection with the conviction before Judge Westenhaven of the United States district court at Cleveland of the three socialist party representatives charged with conspiring to defeat the conscription law. The case will go to trial with the opening of the fall term of court. All other cases will be temporarily set aside. A decision is expected in October. The announcement that the conscription law would go before the supreme court came from the department of justice. In a dozen or more cases over the country where the constitutionality of the conscription law has been assailed the protests of this character have been thrown out of court. There is supreme confidence among all officials that the case will be settled by a unanimous vote of the court sustaining the power of the government to raise armies under the selective system. In fact, government officials regard the case largely as a formality so far as the decision is concerned. M. C. FLYER HITS AUT0f KILLS 4 Car Stalls in Path of Train—Occupants Instantly Killed.

"You don't need to understand. 1 know what I'm doing. I've thought of a way to save us all." An incoherent refusal was upon his lips, but Alalre's face besought him; it was shining with a strange, new ecstasy, and he could not bring himself to deny her. Of what her plan consisted he had only the dimmest idea, but he assured himself that it could by no possibility succeed. After all, what did it matter? he asked himself. They were trapped. This might serve, somehow, to cheat Longorio, and—Alaire would be his wife. "Very well," he stammered, weakly. "What are you thinking of?" "I haven't thought it all out yet, but—" At that moment Dolores returned, bringing with her the three blackhalred, black-shawled house servants, bundling them through the door and ranging them along the wall. Father O'Malley's face was pack* ered; he said, hesitatingly: "My dear madam, this isn't regular; you are not Catholics. How can I bless you?" "Yqn can^ marry us legally, just the same, can't'you?" Alaire was breathing rapidly, and some part of her eagerness began to thrill her hearers, "Oh yes, but—" "Then marry us. And make haste, please! Please 1" Law nodded. He could not speak, for his mouth was dry. His heart was beating violently; his temples were pounding; all the blood of his body seemed centered In his head. Before the eyes of the four wondering women Father O'Malley married them. It seemed to Alaire that he would never reach the end, although, in fact, he stumbled through the ceremony swiftly. Alaire clipped his last words short by crying: "Tell these people so that they'll understand what It all means. Tell them to remember they have seen a marriage by the church." The priest did as he was directed, and his audience signified their understanding. Then Dolores led them o u t CHAPTER X X I I I . The Man of Destiny. "Now, then, I'll explain," said Alaire, turning to the men. "Longorio declares he won't have me except as his wife, and I think he means It. He Is amazingly egotistical. He has tremendous ambitions. He thinks this war is his great opportunity, and he means to be president—he's sure of it. He loves me, but he loves himself better, I'm sure. Now, don't you see? He'll have to choose one or the other." Father O'Malley did not appear to appreciate the full force of this reasoning. "My dear," he said, gravely, "he can make you a widow again. In such times as these men are savages." "Ohf but that's not all." Alaire turned to her newly made husband. 'They let you in, and they'll let you out again—If you go quickly, before It's known what' we've done." Dave stared at her in bewilderment. "I? I go, and—leave you?" He seemed doubtful of her sanity. "Yes." When he laughed shortly, Alaire cried: uDave, you must I Don't you see what Tin driving at? If he can't marry rae, If he finds you're gone and he can't lay hands on you, what can he do but let me go? Dave dear, for my sake, for.the sake of u s both—" "You're excited," he told her, and drew her to himself gently. "Please 1 Please I" she Implored. "You don't know that man," said Father O'Malley, with conviction, But Alaire Insisted, half hysterically now: "I do; that's Just it, I do know frftp He is planning the greatest things for himself, his head Is In the clouds, and he daren't do the things he used to do. That's why I called la those women as witnesses. He can't pot them oat of the way* With Dave gout m be safe, E e can't Ignore our mar* rtage. Bat otherwise— There's no telling what be may do. Why, hell kill yon, Dave, a i he killed Bd." She untamed a face eloquent with pleading. "Won't you iu this for me?** ••NoT Law declared, ftrmly. "You wooldnt ask it If you were In your tenses. Get me a gnn and 1*11 shoot my way o a t Well go antil they stop ms. Bat don't ask me tc leave yon." She searched his face eagerly, piteously, then with a quivering sigh relaxed her tension. '"Then we've only made matters worse. You've spoiled our only chance." Father O'Malley, who had been lost In thought, spoke up again: "Perhaps you will let me try my wits. But first, do I understand that it was he who effected the death of—Mr. Austin?" Dave recounted as coherently as he could the circumstances of Ed's death, and told how he had learned, through Jose, of Longorio's Intentions. As the priest listened a spot of color grew In his cheeks, his eyes,glowed with indignation. He was about to make known what was In his mind when Alaire raised her hand and In a strained whisper exclaimed: " 'Sh-h! Listen !" The heavy door of the hacienda creaked, a quick tread sounded on the tiles, the door to the living room was flung open, and Longorio entered. He was hot and dusty from his ride, but with a lover's impetuosity he had made straight for this lighted room. For the briefest instant he balanced himself just inside the portal, and the smile remained fixed upon his lips. Then his eyes became ringed with white and he made a swift, catlike movement of retreat. Plainly this was the supremest surprise of his lifetime, and he seemed to doubt his senses. But he recovered quickly. Thrusting his head forward, he demanded: "What is this? You—and yon?" He stared from Dave to the priest, then back again. They all spoke at once, but he heard only Alalre's words: "He came to find me." Pancho appeared in the doorway behind Longorio, saying, "I heard you ride up, sir, so I ran to tell you about this fellow." But the general cut him short. "Call your men, quick," he cried in a voice that sent the soldier leaping back Into the night Alaire was clinging to Dave, merely clutching him the tighter when he tried to unclasp her hold. Her movement into the shelter of his rival's arms in* furiated Longorio, who uttered an exclamation and fumbled uncertainly with his holster. But his fingers were clumsy. He could not take his eyes from the pair, and he seemed upon the point of rushing forward to tear them apart. "Don't touch her! Don't—" he began, cursing in a high-pitched voice. "God! What a reckoning!" Then he stamped his feet, he wrung his hands, he called shrilly at the top of his voice: "Lieutenant! I l o , Pancho! You fellows ! Quickly !" Under the stress of his*excitement the feminine side of his character betrayed itself. Alaire felt her newly made husband gather himself for a spring; he was muttering to her to release him; he was trying to push her aside, but she held fast with the strength of desperation. "You can't harm us," she declared, flinging her words defiantly at the Mexican. "You dare n o t You are too late. Father O'Malley has just married us.**" Longorio uttered a peculiar, wordless cry of dismay; his mouth fell open; his arms dropped; he went limp all over, paralyzed momentarily by surprise and horror; his eyes troubled; he swayed as if his sight had blurred. "I said Fd never marry yon,'* she rushed on, vibrantly. "This is the man I love—the only man. Yes, and Pve learned the truth about you, I know who killed Mr. Austin.** Longorio did a very unexpected -thing then; slowly, unconsciously, as If the movement were the result of a halfforgotten training, he crossed hi«*««if, But now from the hall at his back came the pounding of boot-beela, and a half-dozen panting troopers tumbled through the door. He wared them back tad out into the haU again. Father O'Malley, who had been trying to make himself heard, stepped In front of the general and said, solemnly : "Take care what yon do, Longorio. I have married these people, and you can't undo what I have done. We a n American citizens. The laws of dvmV ration protect us." The Mexican fought for his voice, then stammered: "Yon Ire my priest; I brought you here. I offered to marry her. Now—you force me to damn my soul.** Turning his ayes wildly upon Alaire, be shouted: T o o late, eh? You say I am too late! It seem* that I am barely la time." Dave added his words to the others: "You are lea to one', but you can't have her," he cried, defiantly. "Jose Sanchez confessed to the murder uf Mr. Austin, and told how you had got Mrs. Austin to come here. The whole thing is knowu in Washington and Mexico City by this time. The newspapers httve it; .everybody knows you are keeping her as your prisoner, and thut I have come for her. If she is harmed, all Mexico, all the world, will know that you are worse than a murderer." Longorio reached behind his buck and slammed the door in the faces of his listening men. "What is this? What did Jose confess?" he Inquired, sharply. "He swears you hired him." "Bah 1 The word of a pelador." In spite of the man's contemptuous tone Dave saw tM* expression in his face and made a quick decision. "There's a limit to what you dare to do, Longorio. I'm unarmed; I make no resistance, so there is no excuse for violence. I surrender to you, and i-laim protection for myself and my wife." But Longorio wus not to be tricked. "Good!" he cried, triumphantly. "1 have been looking forward to something like this, and I shall give myself a great pleasure." He laid a hand upon the door-knob, bet before he could turn it the Catholic priest had him by the arm, and with u strength surprising in one of his stature wrenched him away. Father O'Malley's face was white and terrible; his voice was deep, menacing; the hand he raised above Longorio seemed to brandish a weapon. "Stop!" he thundered. "Are you a madman? Destruction hangs over you; destruction of body and soul. YOu dare not separate those whom God hath joined." "God! God!" the other shrilled. "I don't believe in him. I am a god ; 1 know of no other." "Blasphemer!" roared the little man. "Listen, then. So surely as you harm these people, so surely do you kill your earthly prospects. You, the first man in Mexico, the dictator indeed! Think what you are'doing before it Is too late. Is your dream of greatness only a dream? Will you sacrifice yourself and all your aspirations in the heat of this unholy and Impossible passion? Tonight, now, you must choose whether you will be famous or Infamous, glorious or shameful, honored or dishonored ! Restrain your hatred and conquer your lust, or forego forever your dreams of empire and pass into oblivion." "You are a meddl&r," Longorio stormed. "You make a loud noise, but I shall rid Mexico of your kind. We shall have no more of you priests." Father O'Malley shook the speaker as a parent shakes an unruly child. "See! You have completely lost your head. But I want you to listen to what I am saying. Whether you are more good than evil, God must Judge, but the people of Mexico are good people, and they will not be ruled by a man who is wholly bad. You have the power to remove this man and this woman, yes, and this priest who dares to point out the pit at your feet; but If you do you will never command another Mexican army. There is no war. We nre not your enemies. The world knows we are here, and it holds you accountable for our safety. Tomorrow you will have to face the reckoning." Longorio listened. It was plain that he recognized the truth of O'Malley's words, but he was convulsed with rage. "Good!" he cried. "I see my dreams dissolve, but I am not the first great man to trade an empire for a woman. Antony, the Roman general, laid his honor in a woman's arms. I - had a shining destiny, but Mexico will be the sufferer by my betrayal. Instead of Longorio the Deliverer, I shall be known as Longorio the Lover, the man who gave all—" O'Malley Interrupted forcefully. "Enough of this! Come with me. I have something more to say to you." He flung open the door into the hall and, taking the general by the arm, fairly dragged him from the room and into the one opposite. The lieutenant and his men looked on in amazement shuffling their feet and shifting their rifle-butts noisily upon the floor. Alaire turned an anxious face to Dave, saying: "He Is wonderful. Longorio is almost—afraid of him." "Yes; he may bring him to his senses. If he doesn't—" Dave cast his eyes desperately over the room, conscious all the time that he was being watched with suspicion by the men outside. , He stirred restlessly and moistened his tips. "Longorio would be crazy to Injure you." Ten minutes passed; fifteen. Alaire leaned, motionless, against the table; Dave paced about, followed by the eyes of the soldiers. One of the latter •truck a match* and In the alienee It sounded like a gunshot Dave started, at which the soldiers laughed. They began to talk in murmurs. The odor of cigarette smoke, drifted in to the man and the woman. Finally the door through which Father OllaUey and Longorio had pasted opened, and the priest emerged. He was alone. His face was flushed and damp; his eyes were glowing. Ue forced the Mexicans out of his way and, entering the livlay room, closed rhe door behind him. "Well?" his two friends questioned, anxiously. "I've done all I cun. The rest is out of our hands." The little man sat down heavily and mopped his forehead. "What does he suy?" "He told uie to come here and wait. I never saw a man so torn, so distracted." "Then he Is wavering. Oh h !" Alaire clasped her hands in thanksgiving, but the father cautioned her: "Don't be too sanguine. He is not afraid of consequences. He appears to have no conscience. He is without mercy and seems lost to shume. I have never met a man quite like hlra. Dd you know what he feels at this moment? Chagrin. YeB, mortification raised to the highest pitch, and a sort of stupefaction that you should prefer another man to hlrn. He can't understand your luck of taste." Father O'Malley smiled faintly. "Conceited Idiot," Dave growled. "His humiliation kills him. When 1 saw that it was useless to appeal to him on moral grounds, and that threats were unavailing, I took another course. Something gave me insight into his mind, and the power to talk as I have never talked before. All in a flash 1 saw the man's soul laid bare before me, and—I think I played upon it with some cunning. I don't remember all 1 said, for I was inspired, but I appealed to his vanity and to his conceit, and as I went along I Impressed upon him, over and over, the fact that the world knows we are here and that it trusts him. He aspires to the presidency ; he believes he is destined to be Mexico's dictator; so I painted a picture that surpassed his own imaginings. He would have been suspicious of mere flattery, so I went far beyond that and inflamed him with such extravagant visions as only a child or an unblushing egotist like him could accept. 1 swelled his vanity; I inflated his conceit. For a moment, at least, I lifted hlra out of himself and raised him to the heights." From beyond the closed door came Longorio's voice, issuing some command to his men. A moment passed; then he appeared before the three Americans. He seemed taller, thinner, more erect and hawklike than ever, His head was held more proudly and his chest was fuller. A set, disdainful smile was graven upon his face. He began by addressing his words directly to Alaire. "Senora," he said, "I am a man of deep feeling and I scorn deceit. Therefore I offer no apology for my recent display of emotion. If I have seemed to press my advances with undue fervor, it is because, at heart, I am as great a lover na I am a statesman or a soldier. But there are other things than love. Nature constituted me a leader, and he who climbs high must climb alone. I offered Chapultepec as a shrine for your beauty. I offered to share Mexico with you, and I told you that I would not be content with less than all of you. Well, I meant it. Otherwise—I would take you now." His voice throbbed with a sudden fierce desire, and his long, lean hands closed convulsively. "You must realize that I have the courage and the power to defy the world eh?" He seemed to challenge denial of this stnU-'mfnt, but, receiving none, he went on, fixing his brilliant, feverish eyes once more upon Alaire. "As a man of sentiment I sim unique; I am different from any you have ever known. I would not possess a flower without its fragrance, You did not believe me when I told you that, but I nra goln# to prove it. AH your life you are going to think of me as heroic. Perhaps no patriot in history ever made a more splendid sacrifice for his country than I make now. Some day the world will wonder how I had the strength to put aside love and follow the path of duty." Alaire trusted herself to ask. "Then we are free to go?" The general's face was sw?pt by a grimace intended for a smile. "I have ordered your horses to be saddled." Dave, who had with difficulty restrained his anger at the fellow's bombast, was upon the point of speaking when Father O'Malley took the words out of his mouth : "Would you send this wnoman out of her own house Into a country l i k e - like this? Remember the fortune la cattle you have already taken—' (TO BE CONTINUED.) An Unusual Bird. A black loon was shot In Washo* Lake. Cal.

SOLD SHOTGUN FOR TEN DOLLARS And Filed on Western Canada Land. Now Worth $50,000. Lawrence Bros, of Vera, Saskatchewan, are looked upon as being amongst the most progressive fanners in Western Canada. They have hud their "ups-and-downs," and know what it Is to be in tight pinches. They persevered, and are now In an excellent financial position. Their story is an interesting one. Coming In from the states they traveled overland from Calgary across the Battle river, the Red Deer river, through the Eagle Hills and on to Battleford. On the way their horses were stolen, but this did not dishearten them. They had some money, with which they bought more horses, and some provisions. When they reached Battleford they had only money enough to pay their ferriage over the Saskatchewan river, and this they had to borrow. It was in 1908 that they filed on homesteads, having to sell a shotgun for ten dollars In order to get sufficient money to do so. Frank Lawrence says : "Since that time we have acquired altogether a section and a half of land, in addition to renting another three quarters of a section. If we had to sell out now we could probably realize about $50,000, and have made all this since we came here. We get crops In this district of from 30 to 35 bushels of wheat to the acre and oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre. Stock here pays well. We have 1,700 sheep, 70 cattle and 60 horses, of which a number ere r mistered Clydes." Similar successes might be given of the experiences of hundreds of farmers throughout Western Canada, who have done comparatively as well. Why should they not dress well, live well, have comfortable homes, with all modern equipments, electric light, steam heat, pure ventilation, and automobiles. Speaking of automobiles it will be a revelation to the reader to learn that during the first half of 1917, 16,- 000 automobile licenses were Issued In Alberta, twice as many as In the whole of 1916. In Saskatchewan, 21,000 licenses were Issued up to the first of May, 1917. In Its monthly bulletin for June the Canadian Bank of Commerce makes special reference to this phase and to the general prosperity of the West in the following: "Generally speaking the western farmer Is, In many respects, In a much better position than hitherto to Increase his production. Two years of high prices for his products have enabled him, even with a normal crop, to liquidate a substantial proportion of his llabilltjes and at the same time to buy Improved farm machinery. His prosperity Is reflected In the demand for building materials motor cars and other equipment. It Is no doubt true that Home extravagance Is evidenced by the astonishing demand for motor cars, hut It must be remembered that many of these cars will make for efficiency on the fnrm and economize both time and labor."—Advertisement Slight Mistake.

Review of War ['umiuued from tirei pag«z] pregnable ami that the UusMan drive uejtded by Bvuslloff In Bukotvina uud eastern Galicla * * * proceeding with* lrretdfctible force toward the Stokhod and the Dniester. E m p h a s i s was given to the hopeful view by Italian success on both fronts in AUHtrta. The great Austrian drive which began in April and alme<J at the expulsion of invading armies from Trentiuo had been checked. This was a negative victory because the Austrian spoils had been heavy uud the 'demand on Italian troops had interfered with Italy's aggressive movements in the south, where the objective of the Italians was Trieste. The fortified town of Goritz burred the way from- the Isoi«*e river t o w a r d Trieste, and after a long and costly siege it fell on Aug. 9. Still further progress of the allied cause in the southeastern field laid fresh emphasis to Von Hind e u b u r l ' s assertion that the war in-ust be fought-out in Tl>e east. Russia was making headway in Asia Minor, marching from bases in her home territory, with her armies backed up by her own flret on tlie Black sea. T h i s was really a strategic extension of her new line in Bnkowina and Galicia. Roumania Attacks German Rear. As matters stood then, the third year opened with a serious outlook for Germany. Verdun was untaken, and the allies had stormed the third German line on the Somme front, Rrusi- 1 eft's Russian column had indeed been checked on the Stokhod and Dniester, but Its presence that far south on the • road to Hungary compelled Austria to keep a strong force north of the Carpathian mountains. Then cainte a blow which lifted the hopes of the allies to the highest pitch—Roumania turned upon the Teutons. T h e situation at that time was as follows: The belligerents were at a deadlock on the Somme line, the Italians in Goritz, the supposed key to Trieste, and the allied column from Saloniki moving north into Macedonia to strike Bulgaria in the rear was making p r o g r e s s For the moment it seemed the allies had the advantage in that zone where the decision was to be reached—the near east. Between Two Fires. It was alleged that Roumania would add^lOO.000 men to the enemies of Germany. Roumania's first movo scored a tactical victory. Her troops crossed the frontier northward into Transylvania, where they wore joined by a Russian column, which mnrched westward, far off on the southeastern flank of the Germans on the Dniester. Forcing the mountain passes, the Roumanians captured Kronstadt and Orsova, but the triumph was not for long. A column of Bulgars, Germans and Turks, led by Von Mackensen, crossed the Danube from the south Into Roumania. taking 20,000 prisoners ill the first blow. Almost simultaneously Van Falkenhayn's mixed army of Germans and Austi'Ums drove down from the north upon the invading Roumanians, captured passes in their rear nnd destroyed their armies. Kronstadt was recaptured. Ry the middle of October the Roumanians were in full retreat back over tfodr border on the north. On the south the Germnas had captured the main Roumanian pert of Constanza, forced the enemy to evacuate Cemavodn, oil the DanulK?. and destroyed the bridge. Collapse of Roumania. With the exception of a weak support by her nearest ally, Russia. Roumania got no direct help. Early in November the allies launched a new jrrand attack on the Somme, and Franco- Servians attacked Monastir, on the southern front. But neither of these diversions checked Gorman progress In Ruumnniu. The uorthern column, coming down from Austria-under Yon Falkenhayn, moved southeast into Roumania and met a composite force of Bulgars, Turks and" G e r m a n s which Von Mackensen was leading northwest, fifty miles west of t h e Roumanian capital, Bukharest, In vain Russia began a new drive in the Carpathian^, The Roumanians, strong in numbers, but weak In resisting power, were overcome, and In the last week of 1916 the Teutons were In B u k h a r e s t America In the War. Two events of sudden development in t h e third year of the w a r m a y have a deciding influence—namely, the entrance of the United States as an ally of t h e entente powers and t h e collapse of Russia's aggressiveness. During t h e early months of the year t h e s u b m a r i n e dispute between this country and Germany quieted down. A C boat brought the w a r into western Atlantic waters by sinking neutral ships off Nantucket shoals in October, but t h e German pledge to safeguard neutral live* w a s observed. On Dec. 12 G e r m a n y and her allies, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, proposed peace negotiations, naming the United States as one of the intermediaries. On the 18th President Wilson sent a note to all belligerents asking them to n a m e their terms.

Congress expired March -1 ; without indorsing UK* president's "arm- I I'd neutrality" policy. A special session j of the new congress was summoned to tneel April 'J, and meanwhile the president ordered armed guards placed on our merchant ships voyaging abroad.

The Russian Setback. During the efforts to secure a diplomatic peace Russia stood firm. The duma rejectedGermany's proposals,and the Imperial government indorsed Wilson's peace league note. Russian support of Roumania had never been strong and entirely dropped away in the winter. It seemed that Russia was powerless. A revolution in which the troops and their generals figured deposed the czar the middle of March, and there began a state of military indecision and inactivity while factions contended for political control at Petro* grad. Early in February the German retrograde began north of the Somme. Bapaume and Peronne, the goals of months of bloody struggles, yielded the middle of March to the allies led by Nivelle and Haig, and shortly the Germ a n s turned and l>egan to resist vigorously all along the front. "Special reasons" was B e r l i n s explanation of this great and masterly retreat. Fur- Court, held nt t h e P r o b a t e Office in t h e City of Howell in said County, on t h e 8th day of Aug. A.

The entrance of the United States as an ally led to an announcement by British and French commissioners sent here for conference, among them Marshal Joffre, that the resources of linglaud, France and Italy in men, money, food and munitions were at a low ebb, and Russia must be considered as virtually eliminated as an apgressive foree. These frank disclosures caused surprise and deep anxiety on this side of the ocean, the more so because the ruthless U boat operations, which begrun in February, had been more destructive than expected by the allies. although their toll bad fallen far short of Germany's estimate—1,000,000 tons per month. The destruction of freight ships varied from week to week during March, April and May, but the total was so great as to forebode disaster unless the evil w a s speedily suppressed. The entente's money problem was quickly solved by affording heavy credits to pay for their supplies brought here. A commission, headed by Elihu Root, repaired to Russia to swing t h e weight of the United States on t h e side of the forces in authority who favor a continuance of the w a r on Germany. The response to calls for troops and immense war funds a n d the successful registry for the draft; followed by the safe arrival of a large expeditionary force in France, led to a reaction during J u n e from the misgivings and uncertainties which had prevailed for weeks. Notable among the closing events of the third year of war are the renewal of attacks upon the Austrian fronts by Italian and Russian armies. The Italian movement began early in J u n e and had for its object the recovery of positions in the Trentino, which the Auatrians had captured in their great spring drive of 1916. At the close of J u n e the Italians suffered a severe check. July oitened with a strong Russian offensive on the line of- the Dniester, ui:nod t t Lemberg.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Aug. 23rd, 1917 No 34 OLB LAND MARK BURNS Dwelling House Of Miss Catherine Marr Burned Last Night-Nothing Saved Last night about one o'clock fire was discovered in the dwelling house of Miss Catherine Marr. The firgt to discover the fire was John Dinkel, who lives directly across from the place, and when he arrived the house was completely afke on the inside and had probably been burning for some time. Miss Marr, who lived alone was awakened by the smoke and flames and venyjiearly suffocated by the same, made her escape from the building just before the arrival of Mr. Dinkel. Nothing whatever was saved. Mr. Dinkel broke in the door of the town hall and rang the bell which awakened some of the residents of the village. Swing to the fact that there was a light shower at the time and no wind blowing, no other building burned. A breeze from the north, east, or west would have been sure to have taken a number of buildings. Cause of the fire is unknown. It is understood that some insurance was carried. Pinckney Defeats Stockbridge, 9 to 7 Last Thursday the Pinckney ball team defeated Stockbridge for the first time in a number of years, 9 to 7, at the Gleaner's picnic held at Lowe Lake. Farmer, Stock bridge's star pitcher and first baseman, was batted oat of the box in the 7th inning and was replaced by Berry, but too late to do any good. Pinckney's hitting was led by Roche Shehan, who secured four hits, followed by Barney White who 3ecured three. The ohancea for Pinckney running off with the championship at the Howell Fair certainly looks good. Roberts is pitching fine ball and is being backed up in fine shape by the whole team. Pinckney will play at Dexter Labor Day. A schedule of the games at the Howell Fair will be found in the program on last page. Teacher's Institute A Teacher's Institute will be held in eac* of the following places; Howell, Monday, Aug. 27th; FowlerviHe, Tuesday, Aug. 28th; Pinckney, Wednesday, August 29th. Every rural teacher is expected to attend one of these meetings. Attend the meeting most convenient for you. Morning session will begin "promptly at 10 o'clock. Hngh G. Aldrich, Sohool Commissioner. Pinckney School Will Open Sept. 3rd Classification in Pinckney • Schools will take place Monday, Sept. 3rd. Supt. Dovle will be in town a week previous to this time to interview anyone in regards to their course of study. j The high school course of study is} modern in every respect, drawing and i commercial work having been added this year. The Board of Education have been ' making many improvements in the j Bchool. After visiting several high* schools in the state and «onsulting the Supt. of Public Instruction, th«y have given us the benefit of their interviews m tbe numerous changes they have made. There seemes to be a . movement in this township for a township school whereby every child in the township would attend the same school. If this scheme can be worked out it will be a* vast improvement in an economical way as well as in an educational way, for everyone concerned. Probably no factor in the life of an individual influences the growth of that life more than the deucational phase. In the face of this truth,, education should hold a prominent part in the development of every community. Each one in this township should give some time to the codsideration oa* a unit school. I 30th Anniversary j Last Friday afternoon about sixty of the neighbors and friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. Pacey to remind them of the-30th anniversary of their wedded life. After partaking of ; a bountiful repast, Mr. Richard Clinton i in behalf of fche company presented the I couple with a dozen silver knives and 1 foaks, a set of teaspoons from the mother, Mrs. Ann Gilke, and set of table spoons, sugar shell and butter knife from their daughter, Mrs. Walter Glover of FowlerviHe. After enjoying a social chat all departed wishng Mr. and Mrs. Pacey maay more such years of happiness. <M MORTGAGE SALE! Whereas default hap been made in the payment of the money secured by a mortgage dated the ninth day of March in the year one thousand eight hundred ninety-eight, executed by Allen T. Bigelow and Calista A. Bigelow his wife of tbe township of Conway, Livingston County, Michigan, to Georgia G. Foster of Burns, Shiawassee County, Michigan, whieh said mortgage w«s recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds of the County of Livingston in Liber 87 of Mortgagee on Page 302 on the Saie Tie Cera Crop "Bhe chance for the corn'crop to reach | maturity this fall is poorer than it has,, been in many years. Hundreds of acres would still be behiad if frost held off until October. The silo will be the beat insurance on the corn crop this year and the farmer who has a silo is in luck. Corn which is struck by the frost before maturity can be saved by means of the silt) and make fairly good silage, but fodder from frosted corn is almost worthless. In a country where the dairy industry is of such great importance and where silos are so common it is unnecessary to argue upon the value of silage for feeding purposes, ani yet there are many farmers who have hot taken advantage of the benefits their neighbors have derived from the use of the silo. Nor is it necessary to be a dairyman to get value received from a silo, for silage is a valuable feed for all clases of live stock. Grain will doubtless continue to be high next winter, and nothing will help so much as .silage in carrying stock through. In fact, with plenty of silage and clover or alfalfa tiay, young stock can be wintered and kept in thrifty condition without any grain. Silage makes an excellent summer feed when pastures are failing on account of dry weather and unless a dairyman has plenty of * Tat* 9™:00 "o'tchl,o dclky a°.f mM a;y wLhincihh e sa\Tid m1 8o?rt1- ,* * 8 t e ^ ^r pasture he should have g B m a U ^ flay ^ {^t jn d i a m e t e r > gage was assigned from fieorge G.

The demand for silos will be heavier than usual this season, because e late corn crop, and those who expect to invest in them should place their orders at onee.

"We have had a pleasant friendship and a thrilling flirtation, eh? 1 shall never cease to regret that fate Interrupted at such an Interesting moment. Adios! Adios!" He bowed formally, In turn to Dave and to the priest, then resumed his pacing, with his hands at his back and his brow furrowed as If In a struggle with affairs of greater moment than this. But when he heard the outside door creak shut behind them his indifference "vanished and he halted with head turned in an effort to catch the last rounds of their departure. His face was like tallow now, his lips were •drawn back from his teeth as If In supreme agony. A moment and the hoofbeats had died away. Then Longorlo slipped his leash. He uttered a cry—a hoarse, hatfxtrangled shriek that tore his throat. He plucked the collar from his neck as if It choked him: he beat his breast. Seizing whatever article his eye fell upon, he tore and crushed it; he swept the table clean of Its queer Spanish bric-a-brac, and trampled the litter under his heels. Spying a painting of a saint upon the wall, he ran to it, ripped it from its nail, and. raising It over his liead, smashed frame and glass, cursing all saints, all priests, and churchly people. Havoc followed him as he raged about the place wreaking his fury upon inanimate objects. When he had wellnigh wrecked the contents of the room, and when his first paroxysm had spent Its violence, he hurled himself into a chair, writhing in agony. He bit his wrists, he pounded his fists, he kicked; finally h£ sprawled full length upon the floor, clawing at the cool, smooth tiles until his nails bled. "Christ! O Christ!" he screamed. The sound of his blasphemies reached the little group of soldiers who had lingered curiously outside, and they listened open-mouthed. One by one they crossed themselves and stole away Into the darkness, muttering. » > < \M*i*-A' CHAPTER XXIV. A Grateful Peon. With a # singing heart Alaire rode through the night at her husband's side. The strain of the last few hours had been so Intense, the relief at her deliverance so keen, that now she felt curiously weak, nnd she kept close to Dave, comforted by his nearness and secure in the knowledge of his strength. Although he was unusually taciturn and rode with his chin upon his breast, she attributed his silence to fatigue. Now and then, therefore, she spurred to his side and spoke softly, caressingly. At such time* he reached for her hand and clung to it. Dave was Indeed weary; he was, fn fact, In a sort of stupor, and not Infrequently he doaort for a moment or two in his saddle. Some two hours out from La Peril the riders halted at a point where file road dipped Into a rocky stream4»ed; then, as the horses drank.

"Father O'Malley aroused the finer aide of his nature." "Perhaps,* agreed the priest. "Somewhere In him there is a fear of God." Be* Dave was skeptical. "More likely a fear of the gVingo government** aali he. "Loogorlo is a fonrfluaher.

Alaire Inquired. "Nothing," Dave told her. As they climbed the bank and rode (inward Into the night she said : "No matter what happens, dear, I shall be happy, for at last one of my dreams has come true," He reached out and patted her. "You've no Idea what a coward I was until you came. But the moment I saw you all my fears vanished. I was like a lost child who suddenly sees its father; In your arms I feit perfectly safe, for the first time in all my life, I think. I—I couldn't bear to go on without you, after this." Dave found nothing to say; they rode along side by side for a time In u great contentment that required no speech. Then Alaire asked: "Dear, have you considered how we —are going to explain our marriage?" "Won't the circumstances explain It?" "Perhaps. And yet— It seems ages since I learned—what happened to Ed, but in reality it's only a few hours. Won't people talk?" Dave caught at the suggestion. "I see. Then let's keep it secret for the present" With a little reckless laugh she confessed, "I—I'm afraid I'll find it difficult to be conventional." "My wife!" he cried In sharp agony. Leaning far out, he encircled her with his arm; then, half lifting her from her saddle, he crushed his lips to hers. It was his first display of emotion since Father O'Malley had united them. There were few villages along the road they followed, and because of the lateness of the hour all were dark, hence the party passed through without exciting attention except from an occasional wakeful dog. But as morning came and the east began to glow Dave told the priest: "We've got to hide out during the day or we'll get Into trouble. Besides, these women must be getting hungry." "I fear there Is something feminine about me," confessed the little man. "I'm famished, too." At the next rancho they came to they applied for shelter, but were denied; In fact, the owner cursed them so roundly for being Americans that they were glad to ride onward. A mile or two farther along they met a cart the driver of which refused to answer their greetings. As they passed out of his sight they saw that he had halted his lean oxen and was staring after them curiously. Later, when the sun was well up and the world had fully awakened, they descried a mounted man, evidently a cowboy, riding through the chaparral. He saw them, too. and came toward the road, but after a brief scrutiny he whirled his horse and galloped off through the cactus, shouting something over his shoulder. "This won't do," O'Malley declared, uneasily. "I don't like the actions of these people. Let me appeal to the next person we meet. 1 can't believe they all hate us." Soon they came to a rise In the road, and from the crest of this elevation beheld ahead of them a small village of white houses shining from the shelter of a grove. The rancheria was perhaps two miles away, and galloping toward it was the vnquero who had challenged them. "That's the Rio Negro crossing," Dave announced. Then spying a little house squatting a short distance back from the road, he said : "We'd better try yonder. If they turn us down we'll have to take to the brush." O'Malley agreed. "Yes, and we have no time to lose. That horseman Is going to rouse the town. I'm afraid we're—In for It." * Dave nodded silently. Leaving the beaten path, the refugees threaded their way through cactus and sage to a gate, entering which they approached the straw-thatched Jacal they had seen. A naked boy baby watched them draw near, then scuttled for shelter, piping an alarm. A man appeared from somewhere, at sight of' whom the priest rode forward with a pleasant greeting. But the fellow was unfriendly. His wife, too, emerged from the dwelling and joined her husban a warning Father O'Malley away. "Let me cry," Alaire begged, and spurred ner horse up to the group. She smiled down at the country people, saying: "We have traveled a long way, and we're tired and hungry. Won't yon give us something to eat? We'll pay yon well for yonr trouble.*' The man demurred sullenly, and began a refusal; but his wife, after a wondering scrutiny, htttrrofted htm with a cry. Boshing forward1, aha took the edge of Alaire's skirt In her hands and kissed It "God be praised I A miracle 1" she exclaimed. "Juan, don't you see? It ts the beautiful senora for whom we pray every night of our lives. On your knees, shameless one! It is she who delivered you from the prison.". Juan stared -unbelievingly, then his face changed; his teeth flashed In a smile, and, sweeping his hat from his head, he, too, approached Alaire. "It Is! Senora, I am Juan Garcia, whom you saved, and this Is Inez," he declared. "Heaven bless you and forgive me." "Now. I know you," Alaire laughed, and slipped down from her saddle. "This is a happy meeting. So! You live here, and that was little Juan who ran away as If we were going to eat him. Well, we are hungry, but not hungry enough to devour Juanito." Turning to her companions, she explained the circumstances of her first meeting with these good people, and as she talked the Garcias broke In Joyfully, adding their own account of her goodness. "We've fallen among friends," Alaire told Dave and Father O'Malley. "They will let us rest here, I am sure." Husband and wife agreed in one voice. In fact, they were overjoyed at an opportunity of serving her; and little Juan, his suspicions partially allayed, issued from hiding and waddled forward to take part In the welcome. Shamefacedly the elder Garcia explained his inhospitable reception of the travelers, "We hear the gringos* are coming to kit) us and take our farms. Everybody Is badly frightened. We are driving our herds away and htding what we can. Yesterday at the big Obispo ranch our people shot two Americans and burned some* of their houses. They Intend to kill all the Americans they find, so you'd better be careful. Just now a fellow rode up shouting that you were coming, but of course I didn't know—" "Yes, of course. We're trying to reach the border," Father O'Malley told him. "Will you hide ua here until we can go on?" Juan curtsied respectfully to the priest. "My house is yours, father." "Can you take care of our horses, too, and—give us a place to sleep?" Dave asked. His eyes were heavy; he had been almost constantly in the saddle since leaving Jonesvtlle, and now could hardly keep himself awake. "Trust me," the Mexican assured them, confidently. "If somebody comes I'll send them away. Oh, I can He with the best of them." The Garcias were not ordinary people, and they lived in rather good circumstances for country folk. There were three rooms to their little house, all of which were reasonably clean. The food that Inez set before her guests, too, was excellent if scanty, Juanito, taking cue from his parents, flung himself whole-heartedly into the task of entertainment, and since Alaire met his advances half-way he began, before long, to look upon her with particular favor. Once they had thoroughly made friends, he showered her with the most flattering attentions. His shyness, it seemed, was but a pretense —at heart he was a bold and enterprising fellow—and so, as a mark of his admiration, he presented her with all his personal treasures. First he fetched and laid in her lap a cigar-box wagon with wooden wheels—evidently the handiwork of his father. Then he gave her, one by one, a highly prized blue bottle, a rusty Mexican spur, and the ruins of what had been a splendid clasp-knife. There were no blades in the knife, but he showed her how to peep through a tiny hole in the handle, where was concealed the picture of,a dashing Spanish bull-fighter. The appreciation which these gifts evoked Intoxicated the little man and roused him to a very madness of generosity. He pattered away and returned shortly, staggering and granting under the weight of another and a still greater offering. It was a dog—a patient hungry dog with very little hair. The animal was alive with fleas—it scratched absent-mindedly with one hind paw, even while Juanito strangled it against his naked breast—but it was the apple of its owner's eye, and when Inet unfeelingly banished it from the house Juanito begaaMo squall lustily. Nor could he be conciliated until Alaire took him upon her knee and told him about another boy, of precisely his own age and size* who planted a magic bean in his mother's dooryard, which grew up aad up until it reached clear to the sky. where a giant Hred. Juanito Garda had never heard the like. Be was spellbound with delight; he held his breath in ecstasy; only his toes moved, , and they wriggled like ten fat, brown tadpoles. In the midst of this recital Garcia senior appeared in the door with a warning. "Conceal yourselves," he said, quickly. "Some of our neighbors are coming this way." Inez led her guests into the bedchamber, a bare room with a dirt floor, from the window of which they watched Juan go to meet a group of horsemen. Inez went out, too, and Joined in the parley* Then, after a time, the riders galloped away. When Alaire, having watched the party out of sight, turned from the window she found that Dave had collapsed upon a chair and was sleeping, his limbs "relaxed, his body sagging. "Poor fellow, he's done up," Father O'Malley exclaimed. "Yes; he hasn't slept for days," she whispered. "Help me." With the assistance of Dolores they succeeded In lifting Dave to the bed, but he half roused himself. "Lie down, dear," Alaire told him. "Close your eyes for a few minutes. We're safe now." "Somebody has to keep watch," he muttered, thickly, and tried to fight off his fatigue. But he was like a drunken man. "I'm not sleepy; I'll stand guard," the priest volunteered, and, disregarding further protest, he helped Alaire remove Dave's coat Seeing that the bed was nothing more than a board platform covered with straw matting, Alaire folded the garment for a pillow; as she did so a handful of soiled, frayed letters spilled out upon the floor. "Rest now, while you have a chance,"^ she begged of her husband. "Just for a little while." "All right," he agreed. "Call me in —an hour. Couldn't sleep—wasn't time." He shook off his weariness and smiled at his wife, while his eyes filmed with some emotion. "There is something I ought to tell you, but—I can't now—not now. Too sleepy." His head drooped again; she forced him back; he stretched himself out with a sigh, and was asleep almost Instantly. Alaire motioned the others out of the room, then stood looking down at the man Into whose keeping she had given her life. As she looked her face became radiant. Dave was unkempt unshaven, dirty, but to her he was of a godlike beauty, and the knowledge that he was hers to comfort and guard was strangely thrilling. Her love for Ed, even that first love of her girlhood, had been nothing like this. How could it have been like this? she asked herself. How could she have loved deeply when, at the time, her own nature lacked depth? Experience had broadened her, and suffering had uncovered depths in her being which nothing else had had the power to uncover. Stooping, she kissed Dave softly, then let her cheek rest against his. Her man 1 Her man ! She found herself whispering the words. For a long time she sat "gazing at him tenderly; then she tiptoed out and delighted the naked Garcia baby by taking him in her arms and hugging him. Inez thought the beautiful senora's voice was like the music of birds. * It was growing dark when Dave was awakened by cool hands upon his face and by soft lips upon his. He opened his eyes to find Alaire bending over him. "You must get up," she smiled. "It Is nearly time to go, and Inez is cooking our supper." He reached np and took her in his arms. She lay upon his breast, thrilling happily with her nearness to him. and they remained so for a while, whispering now and then, trying ineffectually to voice the thoughts that needed no expression. "Why did you let me sleep so long?** he asked her, reproachfully. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Shudder! no. Shuddering Is done by clenching the Jaw's and running a quiver down the spine.

Chicago, UL WHAT TO SELL TO CHINAMAN Celestials Will Not Buy Some Thing* Regarded at Necessities, Saya Commercial Attache. An American commercial attache in China reminds the manufacturer at home that the Asiatic demand for Western articles is still somewhat primitive. For example, the Chinaman Is a liberal purchaser of American barbwire. He likes the locks we make. Files from the United States sell well and oue American Arm holds a monopoly on scoop shovels. But the razors made here have no attraction, for the Chinaman is contented with the clumsy instrument the local blacksmith hammers out of a file. Trying to sell him doorknobs and electrical bells Is to waste time and breath. Chinese agriculture gets along with the farm implements devised centuries ago and cannot even understand the mechanism of American farm machinery. Nails, bolts and nuts have a ready market, being simple, yet when It tx>mes to knives, the product of high skill and workmanship, China Is perfectly satisfied with the cheap stuff sent out from Europe. The commercial invasion of the far •Bast can be successful only if the character of the people of the Bast is given careful consideration, says the Toledo Blade. The American merchant does not try to sell section hands fountain pens. The American manufacturers will lose money who seek an order in China for articles that a simple people look upon as luxuries or toys.

POST TOASTIES are bully good for any meal and for all thefernily VOLUNTEERS WILL PICK GREAT 1917 CROP OF APPLES LOCAL BODIES FORMING CREWS THROUGHOUT COUNTRY. Suggestions About Harvesting Made by the Government Food Administration. A concentrated "drive" is now being made throughout the country for crews of fruit pickers to harvest the goeat apple crop of 2917. In most sections this yeur the Important work will be done by volunteer pickers, men and women, boys, and girLs, eager to do their part, and intelligent but unfamiliar with the job before them. Under direction of the government food administration, public-spirited organizations everywhere are getting the crews made up and ready for work. Each grower should now get In touch with the chamber of commerce, or some other representative business organization in his nearest town, tell how many pickers he will need, when he will need them, for how long, and what arrangements he can make for housing or boarding them. . When his crew of volunteer pickers reports for duty he must open a little school for a day or two, and give them practical instruction in their new work. Many of them perhaps have" never climbed Into an apple tree, and even those who have may not understand that apple picking is a kind of work that requires as much delicacy as gathering eggs. Let the grower tell his pickers how the skin of an apple, or any other kind of fruit or vegetable, is like the tin that protects canned goods. As the tin that Incloses a can of tomatoes guards the sterilized contents from the air, and as even a slight pinhole in this tin would allow the air to enter and carry germs of decay, so the skin of an apple protects its flesh, which is perfectly sterile, and the least cut, even a dent made by a finger nail, allows germs to enter and start decay. A cut so tiny that it can only be detected under the microscope at picking time will, nevertheless, start a germ invasion which will show up later. For this reason great care must be taken in picking fruit. The grower should show their pickers how to grasp an apple and give it the skillful twist that separates It from the tree. He must caution them against dropping the apples carelessly in the boxes and baskets, and see that they have picking baskets and field boxes which are free from splinters and nails; This year's crop will have to be managed along somewhat different lines in many sections. With a crew of trained pickers and packers it is customary to grade and pack much of the fruit as fast as it comes from the trees. There will probably be a shortage of packers, and many growers will have to devote all their efforts to picking the crop and getting it Into temporary storage first, and then packing it later. . More good apples are spoiled every year By carelessness between the time they are picked and the time they are packed than In any other way.* Fall nights are cool, but fall days are apt to be warm. Apples are left In the orchard several days and alternately cool and heat with the changes in temperature until their quality deteriorates. The proper way to care for apples is to put them into common storage as soon as they come from the tree. Almost any good tight building will answer for the temporary storage needed between picking and packing. When fruit leaves the tree it contains vegetable heat just as an animal has animal h e a t and as the carcass of an animal will spoil after killing unless It Is properly cooled, so fruit will spoil unless cooled. With a tight shed, into which fruit can be carried direct from the orthard, the grower can use the cooL nights of autumn to take the heat out of his fruit Doors and windows of the temporary storage shed should be opened at night to admit plentiful currents of cool air, and when the sun comes up and the out* side air grows warm again this storage place should be closed to exclude the warm outer air as much as possible, and keep the fruit nicely cooled. If apples are handled In this simple and sensible way they will have prime keeping quality and the work of grading and packing can be postponed for. several weeks. There is a fairly large apple crop throughout'the country this year. It amounts to about two bushels for ev- ' ery man. woman and child in the United States. From the consumers' standpoint it 4a important to have as much of this fruit as possible go to market tn first class condition, so that it may help us conserve wheat, meat fats and other staple foods for our allies. From the producers' standpoint It is just as important to harvest the crop In the best condition because the tUe of our apple crop this year is such that only the best fruit will bring good prices. ••••£- / , ' 7 fc" • , . v.- 'v ...-A - STUDEBAKER MAN GIVES OUT FACTS Declares Tanlac Overcame Trouble of Ten Years Standing.

STATE GUARD STAY AT GRAYLING SHORT I N D I C A T I O N S A R E T H A T T R O O P S W I L L BE S E N T TO WACO A T AN E A R L Y D A T E . DAILY DRILLS HARDEN MEN A i m of Officer* Is to W h i p Boys in Best Possible Shape Before They Leave State Camp. Lansing. Tt looks now as if the stay of the Michigan National Guard at the state camp at Grayling will be a short one. Company D, Thirty-first, Company L, Thirty-second, Troop A, South Haven, and Companies B and C, engineers, were ordered to Waco, Texas, to prepare the southern camp for the Michigan and Wisconsin troops, indicating an early departure for the entire guard. The camp bears a more serious as pect now that at previous mobilizations. Squads of soldiers are drilling daily in all parts of the reservation. The work of instruction covers the first series of drills for recruits and the mor* extended maneuvers for the older men. The aim of the officers is to whip the men into the best possible shape before leaving Grayling. Cavalry troops have arrived at camp but in the absence of horses, which will not be issued to the troopers until they arrive in the south, the boys are putting in most of their time at target practice. The high cost of living and the food allowance for each soldier is now 40 cents a day, an increase t)f less than 9 cents. This makes a difference of about $720 a day in feeding the Michigan brigade. A number of the officers have rented cottages on the reservation just outside of the camp and their families are arriving daily. The enliBted men have started the "kangaroo" courts for violations of the unwritten laws of camp. They also find much enjoyment in baseball and other outdoor sports after the drill hours. From Private to General In 25 Years. Brigadier-General Louis C. Covell. who has just been nominated as a brigadier general in the new national army, has risen from the rank of private to general in 25 years, and while 42 years old, is one of the youngest generals in the army. General Covell enlisted as a private in Company I, Thirty-second regiment, April 6, 1892. Several years later he \ was commissioned as a second lieutenant and served with Company K in the Spanish war as captain. Upon reorganization of the company in 1899 he was made major. In 1906 he was raised to leutenant colonel and five years later became colonel of the Thirty-second. He became general in command of the Michigan National Guard February 7, 1917. State L u m b e r m e n Scored, That the Michigan lumbering trade will received a setback in governmental circles for its failure to provide lumber fast enough for Camp Custer was the statement of Major Morden, in charge of construction, at the Battle Creek camp. "For two weeks we have been receiving only 30 to 40 carloads of lumber a day, when we should have 50 to 60 carloads,' 'the major said. "\y© especially need inch stuff. We have ample railroad facilities now to unload all the lumber that can be shipped in, but it is not coming, and as a result Michigan lumber men are getting a record with the war department that is not to their credit."

U-WAR FAILURE, SAYS PREMIER L l o y d George Declares Shipping Losses Are Decreasing. WOULD RETURN THEM IN SPRING Lake Boats Could Be Used in Coast- Wise Trade, Releasing Big Ships for European Service. Washington—Every available ship from the great lakes is to be trans-1 ferred to the Atlantic ocean trade at | the end of the present season of navi-; gation. This is the statement made at the offices of the United States shipping board. F. A. Eustis, shipbuilding expert of the commission, is now investigating the best method of getting the ships through the Welland canal. The lake vessels are counted to go a long way towards defeating the German submarine. There is 2,760,- 000 tons of shipping on the lakes, according to the 1916 report. If even half of this tonnage can be placed on the ocean trade, from December 1 until April 1, the officials declare it will forever destroy any likelihood of the submarine winning the war for Germany. The coming winter will be a crucial period in the submarine warfare. By next spring, when the lake boats would return to their home waters, the British and American shipyards are expected to be turning out new vessels in such numbers as to equalize the submarine losses. [ The difficulty in utilizing the lake craft is the narrowness of the Welland canal and this is the problem the shipping board is now seeking to solve. Ships Too Big for Canal. There are 80 ships on the lakes of a total of about 200,000 tons which can pass through the Welland canal without alteration. The plan now under consideration is to cut the larger vessels in half to pass through the ! canal and reassemble them on tidewater. Many of the ships may never be brought back to the lakes, for the j reason that lake shipyards are to be worked overtime from now on, building lake vessels to take their places. The practice of cutting vesaelB in two to pass the Welland canal is not new. A considerable number of lake j vessels, particularly some of the larger passenger ships running from Buffalo to Duluth, were built in Scotch or English shipyards, brought across the ocean in two pieces and reassembled Inside the Welland canal. London—A message of hope and quiet confidence -in the future was given to the British nation in the house of commons by Premier Lloyd George. The people of the British Isles cannot be starved, notwithstanding the German submarine campaign and the military situation grows more hopeful. The difficulties of the allies will grow less and their power increase, while the troubles of Germany will increase and her power fall away, declared the premier. The stock of wheat in Great Britain had increased by one-third within a year and this year's harvest promises well, but economy still is necessary, he said. German claims as to British shipping losses, the premier said, were exaggerated in the hope of cheering up the people of the central powers. Although the submarine losses In April had been 560,000 tons, they had decreased until the average for July and August would be 175,000 tons net each. Shipbuilding had been speeded up, vessels had been purchased abroad and the total tonnage acquired in 1917 would reach nearly 2,000,000 tons. The premier said he believed the losses would grow smaller and that the admiralty had met with success in combating the submarine menace, while measures taken by the shipping controller had permitted vessels to carry increased tonnage. PLATINUM FOUND IN ALASKA W o r l d Shortage May Be Relieved By Discovery. WHISKY MAKING STOPS SEPT. 8 No Booze Can Be Manufactured in U. S. A f t e r T h a t Date. Washington—Discovery of platinum in Alaska by Dr. Herschel C. Parker, of New York, and others has aroused government agencies to activity in the hope of finding enough of the metal to meet the Allies' war needs. Four government experts have been assigned to study the situation and report if the discoveries may reple^- u»h the platinum supply, cut off by the virtual cessation of mining in the Ural mountains, the source of the world's preatest supply. War uses of platinum include the making of suplhuric acid and the completion of contact points of the ignition systems of airplanes, automobiles and telephone and telegraph instruments. Substitutes have been found for making sulphuric acid, but it is almost Indispensable for other uses. Sc acute is the world shortage that platinum has advanced from $45 to $105 an ounce since the beginning of the war. In this country a survey of visible supply has been made, but the results have not been published. 3 YEARS FOR RECKLESS DRIVING Washlnpt.'n--Xot another drop of whisky v.ill ho manuftceu-r.d in the United States nfter 11 o'clock on the r.i^-Iit. of September 8. AH other distilled spirits for use as beverages will cease to be manufactured at the same time. This ruling was made by the food administration after it had been bombarded for several days with tejf* grams from distillers asking for specific Information. The food control law provided that the production should cease 30 days after approval of the measure. The bill was approved August 10 and consequently its provisions would go into effect at midnight, September 9. This being Sunday and as the in* ternal revenue laws prevent the- operation of distilleries on the Sabbath a question was raised In the minds of the dtstiHenTA u t o i r t , Convicted of Manslaughter, Gets Heavy Sentence. Detroit—Judge William F. Connolly Friday sentenced James Small to serve three years in Jackson prison because Small's automobile ran over the curb at St. Aubin avenue and Catherine street. May 19, instantly killing little Joseph Tarortamlna, who was playing on the sidewalk. Small pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, and asked the court for leniency. The sentence is the heaviest ever Imposed in Michigan' for reckless driving of an automobile that resulted in the death of a pedestrian. Small is the second man to be penalized in the state for this offense.

Washington—Authorization to issue bondB and certificates totalling $11,- 539,945,460 at one time is provided in new war budget bill, embodying' recommendations of Secretary McAdoo. In addition to authority to float a $7,539,945,460 4 per cent bond issue to care for a previous $3,000,000,000 and a future $4,000,000,000 allied loan authorization, the secretary desires the power to issue additional certificates of indebtedness to the amount of $2,- 000,000,000, and an equal amount of was savings certificates In a form available to small investors. Lives of the certificates of indebtedness and war savings certificates would be limited to one and five years, respectively,, and they would be subject to discount and payment in the discretion of the secretary. He also would fix the interest rates and regulate interest payments. They, like the bonds, would be subject only to supertax, war profits and excess profits taxes. Inclusion of the two additional certificate proposals, not mentioned heretofore by administration leaders in connection with the bill, is understood to be principally for the purpose of providing against a sudden demand for money which the treasury might not be able to meet.

Washington—The medical corps with Uncle Sam's first armies in Prance will be greater than our prewar regular army. America's pre-war army numbered 110,000 officers and men. America's first medical expeditionary force to France will number 24,000 medical of fleers and 120,000 enlisted men. Physicians are entering training camps all over the country at the rate of 200 a day, By October 1, when the national army, national guard and regular army are at full strength and in camp, there will be 12,000 physicians and 60,000 enlisted medical corps men in service. By the time these three organizations are in France, which won't be so very long from now, there will be 24,- 000 medical men and 120,000 enlisted medical corps men. There are about 90,000 physicians and surgeons between the military ages of 22 to 55. The 24,000 of these now needed is only the first call. Thousands more probably will be taken. As rapidly as they are being whipped into shape at the training camps these doctors are being assigned by companies to the cantonment camps and to the expeditionary contingents. The first 12,000 doctors have been selected and the second 12,000 are now being drawn. MOTOR BUS TO RIVAL TROLLY Planned to Operate Extensive Service in Detroit. Detroit—Detroit soon will have modern motor bus service to relieve the congestion of street cars on Woodward and Jefferson avenues if city officials are disposed to meet half way with the organizers of the Detroit Motor Bus company, a heavily capitalized corporation now in process of formation. Information of the plans of the company was given Sunday by Herbert Y. McMullen, of Detroit, who has been interested in the operation of a similar company in Chicago. The company will have 100 doubledeck motor busses, each seating 58 persons, to start operations with. "We do not have to obtain a franchise to operate on the streets of Detroit," said Mr. McMullen, "but we will seek a working basis with the city whereby we will be paying the city something for the privilege of operating on the streets and arranging stopping points, in Chicago the motor bus company pays three per cent of the gross receipts for such privileges."* ISscanaba—Private John Garland, Company L, was hit on the head shortly after being paid oft mad robbed of hit month's pay.

By Dr. M. M. M'COOL, Professor of Soils, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—Is it wise to apply phosphates to Michigan soils? Next to the question : - "What's your draft number?" this query about fertiizers is perhaps as frequently asked as any by the Michigan farmer today, and it Is probably as important as any, particularly since it has become increasingly apparent that for the time being, at least, Michigan intends to resume her old stride in the matter of wheat production. The answer fs, "Phosphates pay." But this conclusion must not be looked upon shcply as a classroom theory. The thing has been amply proved under actual field conditions on Michigan farms in many counties. These tests have demonstrated beyond question that Michigan soils as a rule lack phosphorus, and further that applications of phosphates handsomely repay farmers for the expense entailed. A recent trip by the writer through eastern, southern and western Michigan revealed the fact that heads of wheat on many fields are only about one-half as well filled as they should be, Indicating a deficiency of phosphorus In the soli. The correctness of these observations has been additionally borne out by chemical analysis of representative soil types, in Cass, St. Joseph, Lenawee, Wayne, Ingham. Allegan, Manistee, Wexford and Newaygo counties. The results have shown that soils in all of these districts lack the necessary amount of phosphorus. But to remove all doubt, actual tests have been conducted in the field. Remarkable returns from the application of phosphates have been secured by the soils department of the college, by means of field culture experiments on Cass, Van Buren and Kent county farms, as well as oh the college farm, and through co-operative experiments with farmers In several counties. On the county farm in Kent last year, acid phosphates on soils resulted in an Increase of 60 bushels to the acre In potatoes. An Increase of 40 bushels to the acre over the yield on adjacent sandy loam was obtained on the county farm in Van Buren by similar treatments. In Van Buren county 400 pounds of acid phosphate was applied in one case, and 2,000 pounds of raw rock phosphate in another. The ressuits were equally good In both. In Lenawee county the yield of rye was increased from 16.9 bushels to 21.5 bushels by the addition of 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre to sandy soils in co-operative experiments on the farm of A. M. Green, while County Agent Blandford, in Newaygo county, has increased the yield of wheat from 8 to 25 bushels by applying 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre to light soils. We have been selling phosphate • from our farms for years, and returning It to the soil now is sound practice. Phosphates are not a soil stimulant, and their use will not result after a few years in decreased yields. The soils department of the college recommends the application of 200 pounds per acre of from 16 to 18 per [ cent acid phosphate twice in a fouryear rotation. The small grains are especially benefitted. Where^ rock phosphate is to be used, 1,500 pounds per acre in a four-year rotation is advl sable. It is conceded that It is best, where possible, to use the latter In conjunction with stable manure or crop residues. ~ fix using acid phosphates, two-thirds of the cost of application should be charged to the first crop, and the remainder to the crops that follow. The department also calls attention to the importance of ordering phosphates Immediately for use on wheat this fall' STRAW BUILDS UP SOIL 9 something to be prized, cot aloue as a feed, but us a soil builder. Kottlug oat straw has the power to render calcium, magnesium, phosphoric acid uud other plant food elements much more readily available to the growing crop. In addition there is much plant food in the straw itself. A ton of straw contains about 5¾ pounds of phosphoric acid, ^2¼ pounds of potash and 11 pounds of nitrogen. Wheat, rye and barley straw have much smaller quantities of potash than has oat straw, but approximately the same amounts , of nitrogen and phosphoric acid. i Experiments carried on by the soils department of the experiment station of the Michigan Agricultural college show ihat an application of 20 loads of muck to the acre will substantially Increase the productive power of sandy soil. Straw, however, would be even more effective In this regard than muck, because it is more easily decomposed by the soil bacteria. Straw Is also u^ed in some localities to prevent soil blowing, but when it is employed for this purpose it should be disced into the surface soil. All straw which will not be used for feed or bedding should be applied to the ground prepared for wheat this summer. If sandy soil Is to be planted to wheat, about two tons of straw to the acre should be applied to these fields. If well-rotted, it may be diskWl into the surface soil; otherwise it should be plowed under. The potash contained in the straw is of particular value on these light sandy soils. SHOULD THIN GARDEN CROPS Vegetables, to Make Proper Growth, Must Be Given Room. By ROBERT E. LOREE, Department of Horticulture, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich. — Crowding plants in the garden is almost as detrimental to their best growth as the huddling of people together in tenements. Garden crops, like men and women, must have room, and If the vegetables haven't been thinned out, now Is the time to s t a r t It is a fault of most gardeners that they sow too many seeds In the row, with the result that the plants, when they come up, soon become crowded, and suffer from lack of moisture, light and plant food. A small amount of thinning, therefore, is necessary, even when seeds are carefully spaced with the seed drill. A few plants well spaced in the row will yield better, and produce a higher quality product than a larger number-of plants growing under crowded conditions. Commence to thin Just as soon as the size of the plants and the ravages of Insects will permit. Bear in mind that thinning should be a process of selection; that is, all weak plants should be discarded, leaving only the most vigorous to mature. The following are the distances to which some of the most common vegetables should be thinned: Beets, carrots, turnips, parsnips and salsify, four to six inches, depending on the soil and the variety; rutabagas, eight inches; wax or string beans, four inches; lima beans, twelve inches; onions, two Inches; parsley, six inches; cucumbers, four plants to each hill, or if in rows allow two feet between the plants In the row; melons and squashes, two strong plants to each hill.

A Field of Gladioluses. SOME HARDY BULBS. The lover of a beautiful garden must spare a corner, or strip of ground, for the hardy bulbs which come up from year to year with very tittle care, excepting the general care every flower lover gives her plants! such as keeping the weeds down, fertlliring the ground In the fall and loosening the earth In the springtime. I find the Roman hyacinth will Increase from year to year, If left In the ground. My crocuses are planted in the lawn and are done blooming before the mowing machine Is run over that part of the grass. I have some hard, old-fashioned white tulips, the double kind, and these, with a few of the cottage garden tulips of brilliant colorings make a gay showing all through May. Scllla Slberica Is very satisfactory, being one of the first bright-blue flowers to greet us, for It comes in crocus time. Then there is the Scllla campanulata, or Spanish bluebell. These bulbs, grown In masses with snowdrops, grape and feathered hyacinth^ are charming in effect. The Sternbergia lutla is a bulb which gives up Its blossoms In September, often extending into the latter part of November. A clump of them 1* very striking, the flowers being a pure, golden-yellow In color. The most satisfactory bulb of all is the fleur de lys, iris or flags, the narcissi and the daffodils. The ground In which they are planted should not be fertilized, as this causes the bulbs to run to leaf and give but scanty blossoms. Once In three years, In the fall, the daffodils, the narcissi, the fleur de lys need separating, and If grown in long rows of each flower the effect Is beautiful and gratifying. A great show can be made of groups of Iris. There are" several species of this gorgeous flower, and each species has many varieties—there Is the Spanish, Japan and German iris, and several new varieties and novelties. Mrs. Frank A.

The fact that Sir Douglas Haig attained his fifty-sixth birthday recently brings to mind a story told of him a short while back. Sir Douglas is a soldier, first, last and all the time, regarding all other professions as of quite negligible Importance, a trait In his character which lends point to the anecdote. He was, it appears, inspecting a cavalry troop, and was particularly struck with the neat way In which repairs had been made in some of the saddles. "Very good work," he remarked to the troop sergeant major. "Who did i t r "Two of my troopers, sir," was the reply. "You're fortunate to have two such expert saddlers in your troop," said Haig. "As a matter of fact, sir," was the reply, "they're not saddlers in civil life being lawyers." "Well," ejaculated Sir Douglas, "how men who can do work like that could have wasted their lives over law I can't Imagine!"

Thirty, five hundred chief cooks are being mobilized. They will average 226 to each camp. About 10,000 assistants will be employed to help the chefs, new tooks will be developed among the drafted men as they are needed. Estimated at 42 cents per day per tnan, it will cost the government $288, 540 a day to feed the "first 687,000. In the bill of fare is found the Sunday's breakfast, of cantelope, oatmeal with •agar, hot biscuit and fried pork sau- - sage and coffee. Dinner—vegetable soup with croutons veal a la Creole, boiled rice and fresh string beans, lettuce, salad, ice cream and cake, bread, ice water. Supper—potato salad* bread, jam, iced tea, veal croquets. This menu holds up in quantity and quality straight through the week. It is not intended, said an official, that a bill of fare be blindly followed but might be used as a guide to variety quantity and costs in the localitea where troops may be stationed. The supper meal is purposely stated 1 light to give the cooks an opportunity to use left over food for hash, hot pies, croquettes, and the like. We shall teach OIK cooks that a clean kitchen and dining hall are indispensible to a successful mess, and the men in trainining will be asked to co-operate to this end.

MANY PROTESTS CAUSE CHANGE .^•-mmmm i ^ M M f e A SCRAP FfiOM A LETTER HOME * *» If Wife or Childrt^i Are Dependent On Man's Earnings for Support He Will Be Discharged. Washington—President WilBon Saturday ruled that wives of men selected la the draft should not, because they had employment before marriage, be thrown upon their own resources or upon charity of their own or their husband's parents for. support. He ordered that all men upon whose labors their wives or children depend entirely for support should be exempt. His action was taken in response to nation-wide protests against the interpretation placed on the draft law by Provost Marshal, Gen. Crowder's office that a woman whose parents or whose husband's parents were able and willing to support her and her children, or who was qualified to gain her own support, should be thrown upon those resources and her husband sent to war. Provost marshal Crowder explained that part of the law pertaining to dependents, as follows: "It means," he said, "that if a man has been dependent for the support of his family not on his own efforts and labor, but on the assistance which was given him by his own or his wife's parentB, he will not be subject to exemption. But if his wife and his children if any, are dependent upon his own earnings for their support whether either has parents able to support the wife and children, he will be discharged. "It must be understood, however, that this does not apply if part of his income on which he supports his wife and children is/derived from a continuing source—that is a legacy, an estate, land holdings, stocks, bonds or similar holdings, the income from which would continue to flow in to the wife during his absence and adequately support her. The same is true if she has such a source of income. "But, if the livelihood of the woman and children, if any, depends entirely or principally upon the man's earnings, he is subject to discharge."

Lansing.—Every man who gains • exemption from army selection * should be sure of his ground, for * it is not only the drafted man * who can appeal when he is taken, * but the government automatically "• appeals the case whenever an ex- * emption is granted. * If a man is granted exemption * by the local division board he is * not yet free from liability to serv- * ice, and the government may at * any time call him back to prove * his case. * Washington—Construction of three enormous government-owned fabricating plants will be undertaken at once by the United States to add to her great merchant fleet, now being built is private yards. Approximately $35,000,000 will be expended for yard building. More than $500,000,000 will be devoted to construction of the vessels. Hundreds of vessels of from 5,000 to 7,500 tons each are planned. Yards will be located as follows: One at Newark, N. J., which the American international corporation will construct for at least 200 vessels; one at Hog island, near Philadelphia, where the submarine boat company will do the work, and the- third at Chester, Pa., to be built by the Merchants Shipbuilding company. All vessels in these three yards will be in addition to those on private ways recently commandeered by the government and the ships to be constructed at plants owned by private interests. Houston. Texas—Blanket charges of murder were filed by District Attorney John Crocker against 34 Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry, held in the county jail as a result of the rioting last Thursday night, in which 17 persons, four of them city police officers, were slain. This was the first move indicative of an attempt by the state to retain custody of the soldiers rather than turn them over to the army for punishment. As a result of the riot the Negro battalion was ordered by the war department to return at once to their station at Columbus. New Mexico, One hundred twenty-five Negroe soldiers were Involved in the rioting. The trouble started when a report was circulated that one of the men had been shot and killed by a white policeman. When night came the troopers broke into the supply house, took rifles and ammunition and started to shoot up the town. Public feeling in Houston run high because of the savageness displayed by the Nogroes toward, the white police officers, who were killed. Bodies in nearly every instance had been hacked with bayonets. Among the Illinois guardsmen also much feeling was evident because of the mutilation of Captain Joseph Mattes, one of the first to be slain by the rioters. Mattes, disabled by a rifle ball, was attacked by the Negroes and his body hacked and stabbed with bayonets until it was practically unrecognizable, i SENDING MAIL TO SOLDIERS How Letters for the Boys in Camps Should Be Addressed. Washington—Before long several thousand young men will be in the various cantonment camps of the National army, and their relatives and other friends will wish to write to them. In order to expedite the delivery of their mail and give the boys the best service possible, the postoffice officials instruct their correspondents, if they know in advance the company and regiment to which the soldier is assigned, to address mail according to this sample. PRIVATE JOHN JONES, A Company, First Infantry, Camp Dodge, Iowa. If the company and regiment are not known, the mail should be addressed thus. PRIVATE JOHN JONES, of Minnesota, Camp Dodge, Iowa. When all troops are organized the mail for each man will be distributed direct to his company and regiment. Until then it will be delivered through his state section. CALL SECOND ARMY W SPRING Not Likely That Next Call Will Come This Year—All Camps Tilled. Washington—Provost Marshal General Crowder sent to governors of states an order changing the proportion of the various state quotas of men, selected for the national army, that are required to be furnished on certain dates. The new order calls for 5 per cent of each state's quota to report at cantonments September 5; 40 per cent September 19, 40 per cent October 3, and the remaining 15 per cent as soon thereafter • as practicable. Reasons for the change were given by General Crowder as follows: "In announcing the decision to mobilize only 5 per cent of the national army on September 5 instead of 30 per cent, the opportunity is taken to give to local and district boards the credit due them for the overwhelming amount of work they have accomplished in scrutinizing the thousands of cases that it was" necessary for them to examine in order to have 30 per cent of their quota ready September 5. "Reports received from practically every state in the union show that every state would have ready much more than 30 per cent of its quota September 5 and the majority of them would have been ready with their entire quotas on that date. This service has required a month of the most exacting work on the part of boards. This work was consummated under adverse conditions and is in large part uncompensated. "It stands as one of the most significant expressions of substantial patriotism and devotion on the part of 15,000 men selected from among t h e r e a t citizens of the country. Wish to Conserve Traffic. "In order that it may not be necessary to make any special railway arrangements and to prevent a congestion of normal railway traffic, local boards should be instructed to send approximately 1 per cent of their quotas on each of five successive days, beginning September 5."

This is not an absolute rule of the district draft board for Detroit and Highland Park, but it has been laid down as a general proposition. The local boards had held that where a wife was childless, healthy and able to work, the husband had no ! claim for exemption. The district board held that self-support is not the wife's natural sphere, and therefore she is dependent. The board will follow this precedent as a general rule only. Bach case will [ be decided upon its merits and there- i fore no hard and fast rule has been; promulgated. Men married since the draft law went into effect will not, however, be' exempted There may be exceptions,1 but the "general proposition" that! wives acquired since the draft law was i announced will not be recognised in exemption claims is as near to a hard ) and fast rule as the board has yet | coma. Washington.—A full statistical report on the operations of the draft law will be prepared by the provost marshal general's office as soon as the mobilization of the first increment of 637,000 men of the national army has been completed, some time early in October. Pending the preparation of the report, no steps- toward calling a second increment to the colors will be taken. The first increment will fill all the training areas—16 national guard camps and 16 national army cantonments— to capacity, and there will be a surplus of men beside those assigned to the regular army. It is regarded unlikely that organization of an additional 500,000 men of the national army can be begun until the early spring of 1918. Neither quarters nor personnel to train the force will be available before that time. Battle Creek, Mich.—Army officials reserve the right to change their minds. Witness, the announcement received at Camp Custer that 15,000 uniforms are on their way from Washington and drafted soldiers will not be required to drill in citizens' clothes, as given out several days ago. The uniforms will be of the winter variety, no summer clothes to be given out until 1918. but it is intimated they will include raincoats, overcoats and campaign hats, instead of caps. The uniforms are promised now for September 1, four days before the first 12,000 men arrive. SHRAPNEL SHELL KILLS TWO Explodes While Soldiers Are Cooking First Meal at Training Camp.

You would not think one could find enough native bulbs to stock a garden, bnt every year I discover some new ones and have high hope for future researches. The first thing that opens in my wild garden la the Iris. Our mountain sides are covered with it In the spring, and the flower stalks on the mountain are seldom more than seven or eight inches high, but mine are much taller and the purple flowers very much larger. Dog-tooth violet comes next, and is one of my prime favorites. 1 departed from my usual rule and planted the bulbs in a large jar, which was sunk in the earth and ftlled with a rich soil of creek loam, leaf mold and fertilizer from the barn. The flowers are much larger than those I found growing by the brook two years ago. The leaves are very handsome, rich, dark green, mottled curiously with dark brown and white. The flower is a clear lemon yellow tinge, with recurved petals about two Inches long and dark brown 'stamens. Besides white and yellow water lilies, I have two others that are natives. One, a delicate little white beauty, .that Is called the "fairy lily," the other larger, blooming in early spring and sending up a leafless flower stalk. It Is also white in color. My wake-robins and lady slippers also come on early, In colors pink, white, pale yellow and rich purple. The violet wood sorrel is quite as pretty as Its haughty greenhouse kinsfolk, Its flowers being of a deep violet color Instead of reddish purple, and its leaves dark green with a deep chocolate sone. I have sometimes succeeded in getting the anemone to grow, 6ut one variety only likes me well enough to lr»e through the winter. Buttercups fjrow for me without any trouble, and i ha\M some qne^r little bulbs which the colored folks call "Adam and Eve." They huve no bloom but the dark green leaves with maroon linings are very pretty. The bulbs are pearly white and look as If they might be good to eat! If you put them in water those that float are Adams and those that sink are Eves! Over in his dark, damp den of a corner, covered with wild clematis and wild passion flower, looms up a giant Jack-ln-the-Pulplt. He scorns to be called Indinn turnip, and much prefers thHt you should note the resemblance between his purplish-black and yellow striped spathe and the queenly callu. In the late autumn when the clematis festoons his pulpit with cream-colored sprays, the spathe will be gone and in its place Vill flame 9 spike of scarlet berries. PANSIES Pansies sown in midsummer will come Into bloom late in the season when the weather is cool and give some very fine flowers. Probably His Be«t. Lillian's father had been traveling for his health and the little girl hadn't seen him for a year. When he went away he was thin and pale and wore a Vandyke beard and a mustache.

The skirt is of cyclamen tuile, accordion pleated, with garland of embroidery and formal bouquets. The bodice and eash are of black satin. of Paris. It was only natural that the American people should feel that the outbreak of the war in France would stop all the wheels of her commerce in clbthes and that the other countries would be compelled to go on their own. It would take us a century to accomplish what we now buy from Paris In a week. We are too canny to give up the best source of fashion on the planet for no reason whatever. If we | 8 n ° u l d ^0 , had to depend on our own creations for the commerce In clothes, threequarters of the firms engaged in this Industry would fall within two years. It Is a happy piece of news to report In support of this outlined sentiment that the shipments of costumes from France which will take place this fall will be as heavy as in normal times. The number of buyers who have gone abroad has been'reduced, on account of volunteering, conscription and changes, therefore, in the personnel of many business houses, but the resident buyers and the Important representatives for groups of houses have been able to transact the expected business. W h c e America Comet In. So much for Paris. But, with all that she will do, the war places an Important task on American women. Never before in the history of commerce In clothes has this especial demand been made upon them. It Is 1 this: they must work out their own j salvation. Our heads of shops and dressmaking houses are far from being aids to the dumb. They must sell what they have bought and made and they have rarely studied the needs of the Individual. The buyers who went to Paris in other days haunted the fashionable places where the women of pleasure and power foregathered. These women made and marred the fashions put but by the designers. When our buyers saw that these leaders were featuring certain fashions they brought them home for the American. But, and this is the new situation, the women here are now confronted with the fact that thousands of new costumes will soon be unpacked from the boxes that brought them over the ocean, and as they were chosen from whatever the French houses had to offer, it will be our part to select from that heterogeneous mass that which brings out our special type and suits our environment This is sane and sensible wartime adjustment of one's times and income, and possibly the lesson may be so thoroughly learned and digested that it win prove to be a lasting benefit to the national community. Make a Study of Clothes. This will be really the millennium in drass Paris, the center of art in the world, creates from a point in air, as the engineers say, and from the mass of material aha sands we choose a thousand different types of costumes If wa wish, l o o k a bit Into the history of each ceattase. as Paris does, and swer Is In the negative, don't let anyone persuade you to buy It. Wheu the ships that dodge the manmade shurks of the sea bring to us these cases of silks, brocades, metalB, embroideries uud velvets fashioned for the American woman, we will see that these clothes are the heirs to all the ages. China will dominate some bits of costurnery, the influence of Napoleon will be there, the Russian Coaaacks who threw themselves before the retreating Kieventh army In Gallcia will be another motive for certain cut and color, and the recent exhibition of French clothes in Madrid Is reflected in the things that were brought out of Sptfin. Not only will different countries be represented In the medley of costumery that Is coming to us, but various epochs in the history of places, especially of France—the First Empire, the Consulate, the swirling and transparent draperies made famous by Mine. Tallien, the Queen of Shreds and Patches, as she was nicknamed, the biblike panels of embroidery worn by the queen of Roumanla when she arrayed herself in the native costumes. The polonaise will be revived from that day when the predecessor of Rose Berttin, who gowned Marie Antoinette, made fashionable the striking garment worn by the Polish princess, Marie, whom Louis XV made queen of France. Those Chinese wraps and sleeves and tassels worn by the noblemen who represented Pekin as the first embassy sent from China to France are recalled into the new fashions because China is with France and is fighting, as she fought, to be a republic. Rakish Continental Hat. The green coque feathers flaunting from new hats have been borrowed from the hats of the sharpshooters, the bersagllerl of Italy, because the fighters of the Vosges and the Alpine passes have a comradeship. The rakish continental hat was included in the fashions because the land of that George Washington whom General Lafayette came to assist is spreading her soldiers over the pleasant valleys of the sister republic and sending her huge guns to protect the Road of Ladies as all gentlemen, good and true, The pinched-in crown and the rollicking brim have been Included in the most fashionable hats because these One of the new autumn suits In green valour with turned-up hem en coat and wide girdle forming sash In front soldiers have been smiled at and, some say, kissed by the midinettes as they strolled the boulevards at noon hour. Why try to outline the conglomeration of episodes that are reflected in these autumn clothes that we will soon be asked to buy and mold to our individuality? Prance has pot the passing panorama of the planet Into costurnery. If we adopt It all, wa shall look tike a process** of tho ages to jronrsatf.

Tarbell tells of her exp'-nem e oa a Chautauqua circuit in western Pennsylvania, central Ohio awl Michigan. "We came to know almost us won as we reached a new place whether the town was dry or noi," she any*. "A town that hud been dry over a period of a dozen years had a triiimews about the streets and buildings, a look of freshness and energy about young people and old which Mood out in almost incredible contrast to what v*e found in the wet town of the same hiite. We went to one town in Ohio which had been dry for 31 years, so the hotelkeeper told me. He claimed to be u much-traveled person, and said that in all the many towns which he hud known intimately, he had never found one In which there was such a fine lot of young people as here. In health, In vigor, In Intiative, he believed that the young men and women, particularly of the working classes, were tremendously ahead of the same group In the towns where liquor was freely displayed." BEER NOT COOLING. Dr. W. A. Evans, conductor of the Chicago Tribune's health column, aud a man of high rank in his profession. Kives the following facts: All kinds of beer contain eighttenths of an ounce of alcohol, equivalent to nearly a tablespoonful of whisky. While fold beer tastes cool and pleas* ant to a hot man, it does not cool him off; It heats him up. The alcohol and solids will bring Increased heat. The effect of alcohol is to induce n excess of blood to the skin. Whenever a large amount of blood roes to the skin, it causes a feeling of teat. When a man drinks beer, he oau*e* llmself to feel hot. He also actually Increases his bodily heat. He increases his chance of sunstroke •at least a hundred per cent. MORE IN W E T T H A N IN DRY. The liquor Interests would have the public believe that prohibition increases the number of illicit stills. What does the Internal revenue office say about it? The figures for the year ending June 30, 1916, show that the number of moonshine plants seized was 3,286, or M6 fewer than in the year 1915—in spife of the fact that dry terdltnrv has been steadily Increasing. Not a single illicit still was reported for seizure in the prohibition states of Arizona, Dakota, Oregon or Washington. There were only six in Mississippi, four In Arkansas, nnd nix in West Virginia. More gallons of illicit whisky were seized in any one of the wet states of Illinois. Kentucky. Massachusetts, Ohio and Pennsylvania than in any prohibition state. GENERAL PER8HINQ'S BLOW. Gen. J. J. Pershing, commander of the first United States troops to go to the battle front in France, is an ardent advocate of prohibition. Pershing's punitive expedition into Mexico was, to quote a writer in the New York tribute, "the driest body of troops that ever marched. It traveled absolutely on the water wagon, and the going was hard. Some of those soldiers went into Mexico soft and moderately runvsoaked. But they came out lean, clear-eyed and hard as nails. The sanitary corps reports on that expedition will show some wonderful results. Despite the hardships of the first rush, the sick reports were startlingly- meager," 8ALOONS ROB CHILDREN. W. H. Rice, a veteran circus man, recently put out a chart showing comparative figures of his earnings in typical cities while they were wet, and after they became dry, Decatur, 111., wet, gave him $3,2X1; dry, $8£80. Bloomington, 111., wet, 15327; dry, $9,- 403. Boise, Idaho, wet, $5,7W; dry, $10,811. Spokane, Waalu, wet, $6£00; dry, $11,582. Seattle, wet, $3,128; dry, $6,710; Portland, Ore^ wet, $3,284; dry, $8,426. Average—wet, $4,468; dry, $8,708. Prohibition means more surplus money in the family and more happiness for the children.

"Oh, I've been napping there In that chair, where I could keep one eye on you. I'm terribly selfish ; I can't bear to lose one minute." After a while she said : "I've made a discovery. Father O'Malley snores dreadfully 1 Juanlto never heard anything like It, and it frightened him nearly to death. He says the father must be a very fierce man*to growl so loudly. He says, too, that he likes me much better than his mother." It seemed to Dave that the bliss of this awakening and the sweet Intimacy of this one moment more rewarded him for all he had gone through. "I've been busy, too," she was saying. "I sent Juan to the village to learn the news, and It's not very nice. It's good we stopped here. He says Neuvo Pueblo has been destroyed, and the federal forces are all moving south, away from the border. So our troubles aren't over yet. We must reach the river tonight." "Yes, by all means." "Juan is going with us as guide." "You arranged everything while 1 snoozed, eh? I'm fiBhamed of myself." AJaire nodded, then pretended to frown darkly. "You ought to be," she told him. "My wife I" He laid his lips against her hair. They were standing beside the window, speechless, oblivious to all except their great love, when Dolores entered to tell them that supper was ready and that the horses were saddled. CHAPTER XXV. The Dawn. Juan Garcia proved to be a good guide, and he saved the refugees many miles on their road to the Klo Grande. But every farm and every village was a menace, and at first they were forced to make numerous detours. As the night grew older, however, they rode a stralghter course, urging their horses to the limit, hoping against hope to reach the border before daylight overtook them. This they might have done had It not been for Father O'Malley and Dolores, who were unused to the saddle and unable to maintain the pace Juan set for them. About midnight the party stopped on the crest of a flinty ridge to give their horses breath and to estimate their progress. The night was fine and clear; Outlined against the sky were the stalks of countless sotol-plants standing slim and bare, like the upright lances of an army at rest; ahead the road meandered across a mesa, covered with grama grass and black, formless blots of shrubbery. Father O'Malley groaned and shift* ed his weight. "Juan tells me we'll never reach Romero by morning, at this rate," he said; and Dave was forced to agree. "I think you and he and Alaire had better go on and leave Dolores and me to follow as hest we can." Dolores plaintively seconded this suggestion. "I would rather be burned at the stake than suffer these agonies," she confessed. "My bones are broken. The devil is In this horse." She began to weep softly. "Go, senora. Save yourself I It is my accursed fat stomach that hinders me. Tell Benito that 2 perished breathing his name, and see to I t when he remarries, that he retains none of my treasures." Alaire reassured her by saying: "We won't leave you. Be brave and make the best of i t " "Yea, grit your teeth and hold on," Dave echoed, "Well manage to make it somehow." Bat progress was far slower than it should have been, and the elder woman continued to lag behind, voicing her distress In groans and lamentations. The priest who was made of sterner stuff, did his best to bear his tortures cheerfully. In spite of their efforts the first rosy herald of dawn discovered them still a long way from the river and just enterlag a more thickly settled country. Daylight came swiftly, and Jnan finally gave them warning. "We can't go on; the danger is too great," he told them. "If the soldiers are still in Romero, what then?" "Have yon no friends hereabouts who would take us InT Dave inquired. The Mexican shook his head. Dave considered for a moment T o n a w t kid* here," he told his compan- "while I ride on to Romero and what can be done. I suspect !*• troops have left and In that e m j thing will be all right" they h a T e n t r Alaire la- • 0 light she had been in the fused to luke their perils seriously. Now her smile chased the frown from her husband's face. "Well, perhups I'll have breakfast with them," he laughea. "Silly. I won't let you go," she told him, firmly ; and, reading the expression In her face, he felt a dizzy wonder. "We'll find a nice secluded spo,t; then we'll alt down and wait for night to come. We'll pretend we're having a picnic." Dolores sighed at the suggestion. "That would be heaven, but there can be no sitting down for me." Garcia, who had been standing in his stirrups scanning the long, hat road ahead, spoke sharply: "Caramba! Here come those very soldiers now! See!" Far away, but evidently approaching at a smart gait, was a body of mounted men. After one look at them Dave cried: "Into the brush, quick I" He hurried his companions ahead of him, and when they had gone perhaps a hundred^ yards from the road he took Juan's repeater, saying: /'Ride in a little way farther and wait. I'm going back. If you hear me shoot, break for the river. Ride hard and keep under cover as much as possible." Before they could remonstrate he had wheeled MontTosa and was gone. This was luck, he told himself. Ten miles more and they would have been. safe, for the Rio Grande is not a difficult river either to ford or to swim. He dismounted and made his way on foot to a point where he could command a view, but he had barely established himself when he found Alaire at his side. "Go back," he told her. But she would not, and so they waited together. There were perhaps a dozen men in the approaching squad, and Dave saw that they were heavily accoutred. They and had steadily He Took Her Hand in His and They Rode on 8ilently, a Song in the Heart of Each of Them. , rode fast, too, and at their head gaS loped a large man under a widebrimmed felt h a t It soon became evident that the soldiers were not uniformed. Therefore, Dave reasoned, they were not federals, hut more probably some rebel scouting band from the south, and yet— He rubbed his eyeB and" stared again. Dave pressed forward eagerly, Incredulously; the next Instant he had broken cover with a shout Alaire was at his side, clapping her hands and laughing with excitement The cavalcade halted; the big man tumbled from his saddle and came straddling through the high grass, waving his hat and yelling, "Blaze! Tou old scoundrel!" Dave cried, and seized one of the ranchman's palms while Alaire shook the other. "Sayl We're right glad to see yonall," Jones exclaimed. "We reckoned yon might be havin a sort of unpleasantness with Longotio, so we organised up and came to get yon." The other horsemen were crowding close now, and their greetings were noisy. There were the two Guzman boys, Benito Gonzales, Phil Strange, and a number of Jonesvllle's younger and more adventurous citizens. In the midst of the tumult Benito inquired for his wife, and Dave relle d his anxiety by calling Dolores and * ather O'Malley. Then, in answer to the questions showered upon him, he swiftly sketched the story of Alalre's rescue and their flight from La Feria. When he had finished Blase Jones drew a deep breath. "We're mighty glad you got out safe, but you're kicked the legs from under one of my net asabttlona. I sure had planned to a m Leagocto's hide on any ham door. Tea, airt you'Ti^tilen the bread oat of the mouths of ihe spuce writers and sob Bisters from here to Hudson's bay. Mlz Austin, your picture's In every newspaper In the country, and, believe me, It's the worst atrocity of the war." "Warl" Father O'Malley had Joined the group now, and he asked, "Hay wur been declared?" "Not yet, but we've got hopes." To Alulre Blaze explained: "Ellsworth's In Washington, wuviu' the Stars and Stripes and singln' battle hymns, but 1 reckon the government figures that the original of these newspaper pictures would be safe anywhere. Well, we've got our own ideas In Jonesville, so some of us assembled ourselves and declared war on our own hook. These gentlemen"—Blaze waved his hand proudly at his neighbors—"constitute the Jonesville Quarda, the finest body of American men that has Invaded Mexican soil since me and Dave went after Rlcardo Guzman's remains. Blamed if I ain't sorry you sidetracked our expedition." It was evident, from the words of the others, that the Jonesville Guards were Indeed quite as heedless of International complications as was their commander. One and all were highly incensed at Longorlo's perfidy, and, had Alaire suggested such a thing, It was patent that they would have ridden on La Feria and exacted a reckoning from him. Such proof of friendship affected her deeply, and It was not until they were all under way back toward Romero that she felt she had made her appreciation fully known. When she reflected that these men were some of the very neighbors whom she had shunned and slighted, and whose honest Interest she had so habitually misconstrued all these years, It seemed very strange that they should feel the least concern over her. It gave her a new appreciation of their chivalry and their worth; It filled her with a humble desire to know them better and to strengthen herself In their regard. Then, too, the esteem in which they held Dave—her husband—gratified her intensely. It made no more difference to them than to her that he was a poor man, a man without authority or position; they evidently saw and loved In him the qualities which she saw and loved. And that was as It should be. They were gentle and considerate men, too, as she discovered when they told her, bit by bit, what had happened during her absence. She learned, much to her relief, that Ed's funeral had been held, and that all the distressing details of the Inquiry had been attended to. Jose Sanchez, It appeared, had confessed freely. Although her newfriends made plain their Indignation at the manner of Ed's taking away, they likewise let her know that they considered his death only a slight loss, either to her or to the community. Not one of them pretended it was anything except a blessing. i The Journey drew to an end very quickly. Romero, deserted now by its garrison, stirred and stared sleepily at the invaders, but concerned Itself with their presence no more than to wonder why they laughed and talked so spiritedly. Plainly, these gringos were a barbarous race of people, what with their rushing here and there, and with their loud, senseless laughter. God had wisely placed them beyond the Klo Grande, said the citizens of Romero. The crossing was made; Alaire found herself in Texas once again, and It seemed to her that the sun had never been so bright, the air so clear, the sky so high, the world so smiling, as here and now. The men who had ridden forth to seek her were smiling, too, and they were shaking her hands and congratulating her. Even the Guzman boys, who were shy in the presence of American ladies, were wishing her the best of fortune and the greatest of happiness. Blaze Jones was the last to leave. With especial emphasis upon her name, she said: "Mlz Austin, Paloma and me would like to have you come to out house and stay until you feel like goln' back to Las Palmas." When Alaire declined with moistened eyes, explaining that she could not well accept his invitation, he signified his understanding. "We're goin' to see a lot of you, Just the same," he promised her, *' 'cause we feel as if you sort of belonged to us. There's a lot of good people in this part of Texas, and them that ain't so good, God and the rangers is slowly weedln' out. We don't alwayj know the ones we like best until something happens to 'em, but If you'd heard the prayers the folks of Jonesville have been sayin' lately you'd know you was our favorite." Then, with a meaning twinkle In his eye, he told her, gravely: "It seems a pity that I ain't younger and better-lookln'. I would sure cut short your grief." Then he raised his hat and rode away, chuckling. Alaire turned to Dave tn dismay. •'He knows!" she cried. "I'm afraid they all know. But don't worry; they'll respect our wishes." Father O'Malley had ridden on ahead with Benito and Dolores; Dave and Alaire followed leisurely. Now that" the moment of their parting was at hand, they lingered by the way, delaying it as long as possible, feeling a natural constraint at what was in their minds. "How long—will It be?" he asked her, finally. "How long before I can really have you for my own?" Alaire smiled into his eyes. "Not long. But you'll be patient, won't you, dear?" He took her hand In his and they rode on silently, a song In the heart of each of them. (THE END.) WOMAN NOW IN PERFECTHEALTH What Came From Reading a Pinkham Advertisement Paterson, N.

THIS SEAL HAD CURIOSITY * - Mammal Got Into Trouble Through Nosing Around Too Promiscuous* ly Among 8trangers. SeaU are very plentiful among the Orkneys, and are sometimes caujjhi when asleep on the skerries. They are attracted by musical sounds, and at one time a considerable number were said to make their appearance in the bay of Hoy when the beil of the parish church close by was rung. Seals are usually much on their guard against the approach of men, but when unmolested frequently come close to boats or people ashore. An Instance of this occurred recently off Skralll bay, in Sand wick, where some yawls were at haddock fishing, a writer in the Edinburgh Scotsman says. A seal made Its appearance, and showed great curiosity as to what was going on. It swam repeatedly betweeu two boats a abort distance apart, and ultimately devoted its attention to one of them, diving under the boat and coming np first on one side and then on the other. At last it made a spring at a Hah which was being hauled out of the water on a band line. It failed to get a proper hold, but the fish was thrown back to afford another chance, which the seal quickly seised. It kept so near that eventually one of the fishermen got hold of Its tail, and by the •eaietanre of another It was taken Into the boat It was a yoang erne, about three feet la length. It did not wmm to appreciate oner until the fishing ceased, and then taken ashore. Subsequently the seal was restored to its native element, which it seemed to appreciate all the more after its detention. Trial by Ordeal In Early Days. Trial by ordeal goes back to earliest days, and in the Book of Numbers there is a case recorded of a Hebrew woman having been required to submit to a test. Among the Hindus the ordeal has been practiced by fire, by water, by poison or drinking water In which deities had been washed, by chewing rice, by hot oil, by red-hot Iron, and by drawing two Images out of a Jar. Livingstone described the practice as being common among all negro races north of the Zambesi, the natives having the greatest faith in its efficacy. And it has not always failed, or the trepidation of the criminal before the dreaded drdea) has frequently betrayed him. On Floor of the Ocean.

Miss Lena Ashwell, the distinguished London actress, who has been giving a number of dramas and Shakespearean plays to soldiers at the front, waxes eloquent upon her strange and wonderful auditory. "No Tommy is stodgy, as a West end audience* is," she remarks. "Every performance was a Joy." The Tommies show their devotion in all sorts of ways. Some Tommies, hearing she was coming, built her scenery out of odds and ends of canvas and wood, painted red and yellow, exactly like the framework of a Punch and Judy show. Another group of men, working with the forage supplies in Rouen, on the railway side, where there is scarcely any blooms of any sort, managed to get her a little tight bunch of flowers, arranged with a bit of paper like an old-fashioned bouquet. Still another devoted- group gave her a little box of silver, beautifully chased. But what she treasures most is a lucky beau. The young soldier who gave it to her stood grasping her hands in the dark, saying blunderingly that he had been eleven months in the trenches and that she could not imagine what it meant to him to see a lady. much less hear her speak; that this bean had been all over the world with him and had brought him good luck-rv he hadn't been wounded yet—and nowhe wanted her to have i t The boy wai[ simply giving her everything.

"I have gained twelve pounds on my first two bottles of Tanlac and I feel ' that it has mude a new man of me," | was the remarkable statement made j the other day by J. J. Smith, a valued ] employee of the Packard Motor com- i puny, who lives at 134 Thirty-first street, Detroit. "My stomach has been in such a terrible condition," he continued, "that for the past seven months It has almost run rne distracted. I had no appetite at all and everything I would ; eat disagreed with me and formed gas that made me miserable night and day. ! My head ached awfully most all the j time and I could hardly sleep an hour ; at a time for pain and worrying about •* my condition. My head was all stopped up with catarrh and I was hawking and spitting all the time, trying to get rid of the mucus dropping ipto my throat. I felt that I was getting worse every day and I was simply rundown and wornout and not fit for a thing. I was constantly taking something or other trying to get relief, but nothing | hit the mark until I got hold of Tanlac. I read of a case similar to mine that had been relieved by Tanlac so I got a bottle and never in all ray life have I seen anything like the way it took hold of my troubles. Why, I began to feel better before I had taken half the first bottle and now I can eat anything I want and it all agrees with me. I don't have .any trouble with gas and all those headaches are gone. I 8leep like a healthy child and I seem to be able to work better without getting tired like I did before. In fact, I have been entirely relieved of all my troubles and I wouldn't be without Tanlac for anything and be like I was a few months ago." There is a Tanlac dealer in your town.—Adv. Lost Hie Protection. A Kansas Clt^y man, who la very active in the affnira of his lodge, was passing the week-end at Excelsior Spring, a near-by mineral water resort, lie coniided to a friend that he would like to scrape an acquaintance with a striking-looking woman they were both admiring. "Why don't you try?" asked the friend. "Couldn't think of flirting with her," came the horrified reply. "Her husband and i are brother lodge members." The next week-end the friend again went to the springs. In one of the prominent promenades he soon saw ihe l'ld^e member and the strlking- !ooklii4 woman they had admired, wulki ,g arm in arm, and apparently much taken up with each other. At the first chance he asked hTs friend for an explanation. "Thought her husband was a lodge brother of yours," he said. "Oil. that's nil right," was the answer.

This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether compound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries In a moment, and simply shrivels up the com or callus without irritating the surrounding skin.

Lansing;. Michigan's war preparation* have so far cost the state $319,210.01. The legislature placed $6,000,000 at the disposal of the war board. The important items follow: War preparedness board, $8,458; food preparedness board, $27,208; Michigan state troops, $112,754; state naval brigade, $4,869; Michigan national guard, $63,414; Grayling military reservation, $49,901; home guards, $2,- 812; dependents relief, $6,055; registration and draft boards, $2,635; Selfridge aviation field road, $40,049; women's war committee, $€28; Battle Creek cantonment road, $367. Of these amounts, it ia expected that eventually the state will be reimbursed by the federal government for expenditures on the naval brigade and national guard, which went for equipment the federal government did not have; on the military reservation and for the draft and registration boards. Clothing for Guard Below Par. New clothing issued to the national guard at Grayling is reported as of very Inferior quality. In the last lot distributed the quality and make of the clothing varied to such an extent that breeches, made of one material in front and another behind, were found. Yet these breeches were in boxes which bore the names of government inspectors. The cotton breeches used by the army, and issued on the border last year, were of good, heavy cloth. In some cases the dyes were inferior, but this did not interfere with the wear. In this issue the breeches ran from the old serviceable material to breeches of cloth lighter than that used in boy scout uniforms and therefore practically useless in the field. There were many shades. Defective workmanship was not confined to the breeches. The woolen shirt must stand hard wear. In this issue there were shirts rotten with shoddy. The packing cases showed that these had been inspected, yet there were shirts on which the elbow protection was In front. Light wool socks are another necessity for infantry. A soldier cannot wear a sock in which there is a hole or a sock that has been darned. This rule is imperative because of the value of the men's feet. In this issue there were some excellent socks, made by a nationally known firm. But the socks were not all of this same make, so while some of the men drew socks that wear twice as long as ordinary stockings, other got some of poor material. On the whole, however, the socks were far ahead of the shirts or breeches. Shoes were unusually good, being of finest quality leather, selling at retail from $7 to $8 a pair. They were charged to the men at $2.81 a pair. Underwear ran about the same as the socks. Some was extra good and some was not. Budget Board to Conduct Audit. The bogle men of the budget commission have their plans all laid to swoop down on every state department after September 1 and Investigate Its system of spending money. For years expense accounts of employes who are kept on the road has been one of the sticking points for the state officials. W h e n it is remembered that each circuit judge who travels has to have his expense account audited by the state beard of auditors, and when it is noted *hat the same board with the same set of rules also gets the account of the man who goes out to examine sheep, the range of expenses can easily be seen. Certain fixed expenses for each day, for hotels, meals, etc., have been in vogue for years, and they have always caused a kick. Some of the state departments insist that their representatives have to go to the best hotels to "make s front." Then again certain depart* ments, whose expenses are directly paid from fees have insisted that inasmuch as they got t h e money why shouldn't they spend it aa they pleased without the O.

Soldiers have to do their own mending, when it is done at all, and it appears— although few persous would have guessed it—that the thoughtful war office supplies them with outfits for that purpose. Otherwise, this joke from the Journal of the American Medleal association would be impossible: Everything was ready for kit inspection ; the recruits stood lined up ready for the officer, and the officer had his bad temper all complete. He marched up and down the line, grimly eying each man's bundle of needles and soft soap, and then he singled out Private MacTootle as the man who was to receive his attentions. "Toothbrush?" he roared. "Yes, sir." "Razor?" "Yes, sir." "Hold-all?" "Yes, sir." "Hm ! You're all right, apparently," growled the officer. Then he barked, "housewife?" "Oh, very well, thank you," said the recruit, amiably; "how's yours?" Have you Indigestion ?

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Sept. 6th )917 No 36 German Brutality Attriquted to Beer Drinking When a professor of geology at Harvard attributes the brutalities of the "German government to the drinking of beer perhaps his opinion will not be met with crie» of "Fanaticism!" Prof. Reginald Aldworth Daly does express that opinion. In doing so, he merely x#-enforces a massive array of evidence and agrees with the great German leaders who strove mightily to resaue their oeuntry from beer and ruin. Muneey's Magazine reports. Prof. Daly, as follows: "I ventwre the hjrpothesis," he says, "that Irfelong drinking of mild beer has bsen one of the potent causes for the amzing brutalities of official Ger-. ^many. These crimes have been ordered' by men who for decades have been poisoned by beer. In times of peace and quiet, the poison causes derange, ment of bjpain tissue, often expressed merely in some form of sentimentality, plain or maudlin. If however the victim is put under stress, hia nervous disorder is kkely to lead to bad temper and bad judgement, with endless possibilities in the way of less of dignity, poise and the sense of human fellowship. To the hypothetical retort that as much alcohol per capita is drunk in England and France as in Germany, he answers; « "The Germanic peoples are the only great group who feed akohol to babies or very^oung children of the middle or upper classes. If the baby has not been already prenatally damaged because of beer drunk by his mother, he still runs tha risk of poisoning from the alcohol bearing milk of a drinking mother or wet nurse. The child grows to manhood drinking alcohol and continually handicapped in his development of cerebral, *and therefore moral control. "On the other hand, nearly all the alcohol drunk in France and England is consumed after she formative years of childhood—distinctly lessening the danger ef permanent cerebral degeneration. The drunkards of France and the Brush Isles are, as elsewhere, brutal and mean; bat fortunately for the good name of the governments of these two countries, many men of the ruling clases, the men who issue orders, are not addicted to the daily use of alcohol, either in youth or maturity." And he ends his exposition of the part that beer has played in the great war with a quotation from the elder Moltke, who once said*, "Beer is a far more dangerous enemy to Germany than all the ailies of France." Michigan Kiddies Are Keen for Fair Prizes General interest attaches to the Better Babies' Contest which has already featured two Michigan State Fairs. This year the number of entries indicates an increasing enthusiasm on the part of parents anxio|Bi to enter their children for prizes.

She is the highest paid woman fiction writer in the world today because her writing makes a universal appeal. THE EDITOR. CHAPTER I. Hilary Kingston had been shot Old Hilary had been a familiar figure In the village of Woffljagham for years. The eccentricity of his gray derby hat, his beetling gray brows, his always fresh gray gloves, his erect, rather heavy old figure, singled him out from the mass of commuters that thronged the city trains. The gray derby was a part of old Hilary. Except on those rare occasions when he attended service at Saint Jude's he was never seen without It. He lived on the hill above the village, with bis daughter—had lived there for ten years. The hall was beautiful, but old Hilary received no visitors, returned no advnnces. Visitors thought this curious. The villagers, prosperous business men with smart wives, shrugged their shoulders. The man's house was his own. If he found that he could do without the town, the town could get along without htra. There was no mystery about the hall, and little curiosity. Cars going to the country club passed under the brick wall of its Italian garden. Their occupants sometimes caught a glimpse of Elinor Kingston there, reading in a rose arbor, wandering among her peonies and Iris in the spring, or cutting sprays of phlox in midsummer. The men thought her rather lovely; the women, odd, with her blond hair and dark eyes. The assistant rector of Saint Jude's, newly come to the village, met her face to face on one of his long country walks, a month or so before old Hilary's death, and could not forget ber. He led the conversation to her that night at a dinner. "An exquisite face," he described her, "but sad, almost tragically sad." "Blond?" The lady on his right was a Mrs. Bryant. In honor of the new assistant rector, who came of fine family and was a distinct acquisition to the village, she wore the Bryant pearshaped pearl. She spoke rather curtly. "I should not call her exquisite— but you probably met Elinor Kingston. Her sadness is a pose, I believe; she has everything she wants." The assistant rector was young, but very wise. So he spoke no more of Elinor until the women had left the table. Then he ventured again. "Don't join the army of those of us who worship from afar," advised the youth who had moved up beside him. "She's the loveliest thing in this part of the country. But, except our sainted rector, no one ever gets to put a foot on the place. It's exclusiveness to the nth power, and then some. There's a lot of talk, of course, or used to be. Old Kingston brings his servants from New York, and except an elderly housekeeper, none of them speak English. They used to say around here that he was a refugee, but that's ail rot. He's a stingy old dotard, afraid some handsome youth like myself will captivate the girL That's all there is to It." The assistant rector, whose name was Ward, smiled perfunctorily. Instead of the gleaming table, spread with flowers and candles, with the gay colors of cordials and liqueurs, he was Keying a girl standing at the turn of a country road and gazing down into the vnlley and the distant village with somber eyes. . . . Faith, hope and charity, and the greatest of these is faith. Faith in ourselves, faith in those around us, and that sublimes* faith of all which trusts in something beyond. To all men is given such faith at the begin' ning of life, and some keep it to the end. But here and there Is one who has lost It, who cannot, t u n his eyes up and say "Lord, Lord." Old Hilary had not kept the faith. Tears ago he had not been eviL He ted gone from philosophy into unbe- Bet that root* which «11 must traveL unlike the many, he had not come Be had started with socialism, hot seoaliem most be t o u t e d oa the C M * , tod him he scored. So frem mdtMmm he had drifted to anarchy. To mo the rich and gtve to the poor, at i n * . Later oa, to rct> the rick, to Incite seditions, to arm the rebellious— oh, it was comprehensive enough, vastly wicked with that most terrible lawlessness of all, that believes itself law. To pit his wits against the world and win—that had been old Hilary's creed. "For the oppressed" had been at first the slogan of the band he gathered around him. "Against the oppressor" it became later on. Vastly different the two. Most of human charity and kindliness lay crushed down and trampled underfoot during old Hilary's progress from Christ to Antichrist. The band had been gathered with much care. Respectability, order, decorum— these spelled safety to old Hilary's astute mind. Most of them were younger sons of English landed j families, with a sprinkling of other na-1 tlonalities. Young Huff was an Aus- ! '.rallan, for instance, the son of a ! wealthy sheep-owner. Boroday the Russiun—implicated in the bombthrowing that destroyed the minister of war—was a nobleman. Old Hilary had got him out of Siberia during those early days when he righted what, to his crooked mind, were wrongs. There were twelve in the band at the beginning, and for five years there were no changes. Then came the kidnapping and holding for ransom of Mackintosh the banker in Iowa, and the unexpected calling out of the state militia. The band had hidden Mackintosh in a deserted mine and three of the band went down in the shooting that followed his discovery. In the looting of Tiffany's vaults, which has never been published, a Frenchman named Dupres was killed; and only "But if my mother is dead, where is shel" asked Elinor on one of them. Old Hilary had eyed her from under eyebrows that were already gray. "She lives In the memories of those that knew and loved her." "But I never knew ber. Then for me she doesn't live! But Mademoiselle—" she checked herself. Suspicion had been dawning In old Hilary's* eyes. "Death is the end," he said tersely, and quoted Darwin and Haeckel to her. But at the end of the drive he. interviewed Mademoiselle, and sent her flying to her chamber, where from under the carpet beneath her bureau, she got herj-osary and wept over it. Elinor was twenty the year her father died, a slender girl, fond of flowers, rather a dreamer. Well educated, too. Old Hilary had seen to that; she knew Malato, Haeckel, Bakunin; spoke French and Spanish—Hilary had spent much time in Central America helping the insurgents; it was be who financed the Insurrection In northern Mexico—and wrote fluently the form of shorthand that her father had devised as a means of communication between the leader of the band. A keeneyed, wistful-mouthed slip of a girl, shut off in the great house on the hill above Wofflngham; living her life of big theories and small duties, calloused to robbery and violent deeds, and viewing wistfully from her windows the little children in the rood below. To Pit Hit Witc Against the World and Win—That Had Been Old Hilary* s Creed. recently a tire had burst after the holding up of the car of the governor of Delaware, and their car, overturning, had crushed Jerrold, the mechanic of the band and old Hilary's chauffeur. One way and another, there were only five left: Talbot and Lethbridge the Englishmen, Boroday, Huff and old Hilary himself. And old Hilary's hour was almost come. Old Hilary lived well, as he might His foreign servants were artists. He liked good food, good wines, good books. He even had a few pictures— from the leading galleries of Europe. He hung them in the house at Wolfingham, with a cynical smile. "Safest place in the world.** he said to old Henrietta who protested. "The village has never even heard of them !** And so in this atmosphere with which he surrounded himself, of toe living and wrong •Mtiirfnf, of atheism raised almost to religion, of no law and no Christ, old Hilary had brought up his daughter. He had been proad of her la his way; absolutely selfish, too. She had had no other companion. B* taught ber his unbelief, pointing oat the churchgoers, as they drove together on Sunday mornings, as slaves to a myth, Also, he taught her to hate a He, and to give alma Early In her life their drive* together had bear punctured with questions. CHAPTER II. Once a year the association closed its books. During all of the June before old Hilary's sudden death, Elinor had been busy arranging figures, collecting data In the cryptic shorthand she knew. Then, on the first of July. Hilary gave his annual dinner. The band, from twelve, was down to five. Boroday, the Russian, glancing around the table, shrugged his shoulders. It was the chance of the game they played, and percentages would be larger, Nevertheless there was a weight of depression over them all." Elinor was at her fa Iher's right, simply dressed. The dinners were always a trial to her. She was palpltat- MAY FOUND JEWISH REPUBLIC tugly anxious that the puj>er« bef«»r» old Hilary be in order uud accurate. They were p«r work. The deei**r significance of the meeting she was not so much ignorant of as profoundly indifferent to.. If her father did a thing, it took on order, became a law. There were present Talbot and Lethbridge, the Englishmen; Boroday, whose rescue from Siberia had made him old Hilary's henchman; and young Huff. Huff was the mechanician. He had been trained la the Bleriot works; airplanes to wireless, automobiles to automatic pistols, he knew them—all makes, all grades. If old Hrlary was the bruins. Huff was the hands of the band. He sat beside Elinor, and watched her with worshiping eyes. Perhaps It was as well that old Hilary was intent on hfs food and oa the business In hand. The routine of the annual dinner seldom varied Five of them then, that last dinner arottnd the table, in evening clothes, well set up, spare, three of them young, all temperate, honorable about women—as polished, as harmless In appearance, as deathdealing, as the gleaming projectile of a r twelve-inch gun 1 First old Hilary went over the books. It might have been the board meeting of some respectable bank. He stood at his end of the table, and the light from the chandelier fell full on him. "I have to report, gentlemen," he would say, "a fairly successful year." This is where it differed from a bank. The association had had no bad years. "While our expenses have been heavy, returns have been correspondingly so." And so on, careful lines of figures, outlays and returns, to the end. For old Hilary was secretary and treasurer a* well as president. This time, when he had reached the end of what was to be his last report, he paused and cleared his throat. "Unfortunately, that is not all, gentlemen. 'Nothing can we call our own but death.' And it is my sad duty to report, this last year, the loss of three of our number. A calamitous year, gentlemen." He might have been a trustee, lamenting the loss of valued supporters to a hospital! Afterward, in the library, with *BInor embroidering by the fire, they cashed in. They dealt only in cash. Securities were dangerous. Once or twice Boroday had successfully negotiated with a fence In Paris, but always under old Hilary's protest. PAINS SHARP AND STABBING Woman Thought She Would Die.

England, France and United States to Exercise Joint Protectorate After War, la Report Palestine is to become a Jewish republic at the end of the war, according to a recent report that appeared simultaneously In London and Washington. It Is thought possible that the disposition of the Holy Land was one of the subjects discussed by the British and French envoys with President Wilson and Secretary -Lansing at Wabhlngton. That the United States would fnvQ" such a plan is considered certain. According to the report the Jewish republic, known as Judea, would be a protectorate of England, France and the United States acting jointly. Jerusalem would be the capital of the new republic, which would have local government. Should this plan be carried into operation a great migration of the Jews back to their ancient land will likely take place. Not a great many are expected to leave the United States, but the several million more or less persecuted members of the race in Roumanla, Serbia, Anstrla- Hnngary and Germany, along with some from Russia, no donbt will take advantage of the chance to live in a state whero they will have equal opportunity as well as the right to worship in their old temples. Jerusalem, under such a condition, would become again a dry of millions and the great spaces of now arid lands in Palestine would be reclaimed. Place for Him, Denny, aged six, was in the first grade.

It is said that Coleridge once exclaimed to Charles Lamb: "1 could write plays just as well as Shakespeare, If I had a mind to!" "Yea," said Lamb, "that Is Just what you lack." It is a blessing, however, that even though we may not be able to do the work of a great genius, we may count upon growth In strength and breadth of mind. You can do with your mind today what you could not do five years ago. If you will give your mind an opportunity to grow by hard, honest, faithful, severe work, you will be able to do much more five years from now than you are able to do today. If your mind becomes poisoned with low ideals, with poor literature, with wrong conceptions of life, you may as well expect it to grow, as to expect a plant to grow In your garden when you have allowed every sort of plant enemy to burrow about the roots and feed on the stalks and leaves. Sergeant Sullivan and Patsolmnn Flahnrty were on the warpath. It had been reported at headquarters that the soldiers at Sinallvllle had been supplied with drink while on duty. The police officers had been sent forth to Investigate the matter. "Now, you wait outside," commanded the sergeant, "while I go in an' make inquiries. I shan't be a minute." But he was several minutes. At last he apepared, a dazed expression on his face. "Well?" queried Flaharty. "No foundation whatever for the charge," replied the sergeant. "Don't believe the landlord of that inn could be guilty of such a crime." "H'm!" grunted Flaharty, "that sounds all right, but if you take my tip, sergeant, you'll Just put this peppermint lozenge in yer mouth before you tell it to the chief."

"I had to live on nothing but bread and water for weeks at a time, but since taking Tanlac, I can eat anything I want and enjoy It as well as I ever did," said Fred W. Myers, of 17 Sullivan street, Ford City, the other day. Mr. Myers is the well-known foreman at the Ford City plant of the Michigan Alkali company. "I suffered from stomach trouble and Indigestion for fonr years," he explained. "Everything I ate formed gas on my stomach that seemed to press on my heart so I could hardly breathe. I belched up bits of sour, undigested food and had an awful, gnawing sensation In the pit of my stomach that at times burned like a coal of fire. Mucous was constantly dropping down my throat. My eyVs were watery so at times I could hardly see. I slept poorly and felt tired and worn out all the time. "I have tried many different medicines but nothing did the least good until I got Tanlac. Tanlac seems to be made especially for ray case for I commenced picking up right from the start and improved every day. My appetite now is fine and everything I eat agrees with me.

LIFT A CORN APPEALED TO SUPREME COURT Charlotte Man Brought Tea'. Case to Prevent Cotton Mill From Discharging Minor Sons. Greensboro, X C. Federal Judge 5 Boyd, of tru- weatern district of North Carolina held the Keating-Owen child labor law unconstitutional and enjoined the United States district at torney, William C. Hammer, and his "succesHors, assistants, deputies and agents," from enforcing in the district the provisions of the act of congress which became effective September 1. The case came before the court ou injunction proceedings brought in the name of Roland H. Dagenhart and hiis minor sons, Reuben and John, of Charlotte, who sought to restrain a Charlotte cotton mill company from discharging the two boys. JjJge Boyd said he was gratified by the candor of Professor Thomas I. Parkinson, of Columbia university, representing th% department of justice, who asserted that congress had used its power over interstate commerce for the object of regulation of local conditions within the state and the discouragement of child labor. This admission, said the judge, left the issue clear and brought forward the question: "Can congress do by indirection that which it undoubtedly cannot do directly?" "Congress," he said, "can regulate trade among the states, but not the internal conditions of labor " The case will be taken to the supreme court of the United States at once.

USE ALL APPLES YOU CAN TO SAVE FOOD FOR ALLIES Americans Should Eat Fruit and Vegetables So Meat and Wheat May Be Sent Overseas. Our ullies in war against the kaiser are very much in need of meat and wheat. If they are to pull through the fall and winter successfully, we must send them all of These staples we can. It will be necessary for Americans at home to eat more perishable food articles— like fruit and vegetables that cannot well be sent abroad. For this reason Uncle Sam's food administration is taking the keenest Interest in this year's tipple crop. The government wants us to eut more aa>- ples than ever before so that the wheat and meat supplies may go to help win the war. A campaign of education along this line is soon to start. This year's apple crop calls for intelligent handling. The latest government reports indicate a crop of about 190,000,000 bushels. That is a little below normal. Good prices are assured for all honestly packed, first quality apples, and also for honestly packed, selected second grades, which government experts say can be put Into storage. Wherj^iie- crop is big it does not pay to store second grades, but this year, despite the fact that we cannot ship our usual 2,000,000 barrels of apples abroad, because shipping space Is precious, we should be able to get fair prices for all good apples at home. Careless packing of poor quality fruit has always been one of the chief causes of market Instability and unsatisfactory prices to the growers. This year the whole apple industry is co-operating to remove this market handicap. There has never been an apple yeur such as this one is going to be. Growers have never been able to get together and engage and finance a national educational campaign among consumers to Increase apple consumption. This year the situation makes it necessary for the United States government, through the food administration, to conduct a consumer's campaign of publicity on behalf of the apple. This campaign will begin while the crop is being sent to market, and will probably continue until the last apple is eaten up late next spring. So the grower has three great incentives for grading, packing and storing this crop with especial care. 1. It is a good crop and calls* for care, 2. The government will encourage apple eating and apple storage and will discourage speculation that raises the price abnormally. 3. We must eat up at home more than two million barrels of apples, which would ordinarily be exported. To get the best of the crop to the market in prime condition it must be picked carefully at the time of maturity and promptly cooled in temporary storage, and then skillfully graded and packed. Second-grade fruit should not go Into barrels or boxes. If it cannot be marketed In bulk in near-by consuming centers, then it should be worked up into byproducts along with the culls. There has been a gratifying improvement in apple marketing the past two or three years. Western apples are boxed to strictly honest standards, by the great co-operative growers' organizations In Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Colorado. The eastern barrel apple has also been wonderfully Improved in New York and other states. Because apples are honestly packed and give the best possible value for the money, there Is an Increase In the consumer demand. Retail merchants who were formerly almost afraid to buy apples in barrels, because they were not sure of getting marketable values for their money, are now buying freely and in confidence. This good work makes it possible for the government to go further and encourage the use of apples as a war-time food measure. Because the bulk of the crop will be picked by volunteer workers this year, and put into common storage until tlTe* grower can find time to grade and pack, there will be an opportunity to give closer personal attention to t h e grading and packing than might be the case If the crop were handled as in peace times. For the grower who desires instructions in apple packing, the department of agriculture at W«Hhlngton has Information in bulletin form. These bulletins can be secured free by writing to the department Growers will do well to obtain a few copies for their pickers and packers.

Althoug the Hon betrayed very little Interest In the proceedings, the barber was obviously nervous, and. having lathered his man, made several nervous dabs at one cheek with the razor, keeping a weather eye on th*' wild beast. "Hold hard!" yelled the tamer ai last, as he felt a fearful gash. "It's too risky:" "1—I—I ain't afraid !" stammered the shaking tonsorlal artist. "There ain't a lion living can scare me."

PACKAGES ARE SHORT WEIGHT Michigan Consumers Said to Be De» fraudod of S50,000 a Year By Oleo Makers. Lansing. FYed Wood worth, sUte dairy and food coinoiiasioner, has decided to prosecute manufacturers of oleomargarine. aUo exposed them by an exhibit of 14 b r a n d s ^ o f short-weight ^packages at the Michigan state fair, and plan* a campaign of more publicity against them. Practically all packages of butter substitutes were found to be from an ounce to two ounces under weight. The manufacturers claimed that this was shrinkage due to cold storage. The state then bought 30 pounds of "oleo" and put it in eold storage. The entire 30 pounds shrunk but two ounces, showing that claims of two ounces shrinkage a pound are untrue. Michigan consumers are defrauded of 150,000 a year by oleomargarine manufacturers, according to Woodworth. He will not prosecute dealers, as they handle original packages. Guards Anxious to Move.

A Garfield. Its findings were submitted to and approved by President Wilson. Labor representatives on the committee voted first for $1.84 and the farmers for $2.50. After long discussion, the compromise at $2.20 was approved unanimously. On the basis of $2.20 at Chicago, the food administration worked out differentials for the various grades and classes and for the several terminals. The price fixed is 20 cents higher than that named for the 1918 crop by congress in the food control bill. The $2 price presented by congress was taken into consideration by the committee in considering a fair valuation for this year's crop. The committee, in its report to the president, gave as the three chief considerations that entered into its deliberations, the following: The fact that the United States is at war, the need of encouraging the producer, and the necessity of reducing the cost of living to the consumer. All members agreed in their discussions that the price fixed will permit of, a 14 ounce loaf of bread for 5 cents, allowing a fair profit both to the flour manufacturer and the baker. Although the prices are fixed on government purchases only, the food administration, through its wheat corporation, recently organized, expects to control the market without difficulty. The corporation will make all government and allied purchases and has under consideration plans to buy for millers. If it serves as broker between the terminal and the flour mills, the corporation will become purchaser of virtually all of the country's wheat crop. Millers say the government wheat price of $2.20 a bushel means $12.50 a barrel for flour in the middle west and $1.1 in the east. ROBBER BALKS 300 POLICEMEN U.

Chicago—One lone bandit, Edward i Wheede, alias the "Ammunition Kid," I wanted for participation in the Wins I low payroll robbery and murders, stood off 300 police for an hour in a cottage on Thomas street. Hundreds-of shots were exchanged while a thousand citizens watched the battle.- The bandit emptied an automatic into the ranks of the bluecoats with such skill and rapidity that three of the attackers fell wounded and the police believed they had a band of robbers surrounded. Wheede fired from almost every window in the house. At dusk the "Ammunition Kid'* darted from the bullet-riddled house and made a wild dash for safety. A dozen police hurled themselves upon him as his revolver .barked its last defiance. Then cautiously the police closed in on the cottage and found it empty. In the bottom of a market basket the police found $1,005, done up in parcels, untouched since they had been ripped from the hands of Barton Allen, one of the two men killed when the Winslow Brothers company was robbed of $8,100.

So far as the expert observer can see Into the near future of autumn costumery which is now being planned, shown and bought, the only actual elimination of material is in the width of the skirt. There is little sense iu being obstinate about the width of skirts; they're going to be narrow, and it is quite as well that dressmakers and women accept this fact without cavil. Once before In the history of clothes there was a tight skirt which was said to have been caused by the Civil war in America. It became the fashion after Appomattox and remained In fashion for a decade and a half afterward. It was also caused by the necessity for economy in material, as the four years' war had nearly exhausted the commodities of this country. That skirt was called the tie-back. The front and sides were pulled across the figure so that the wearer could barely step, and rubber bands were put across the back below the waistline, to draw the material up into a series of little puffs. This was as much of a bustle as was permitted. Persistence Is Amazing. The persistence of this fashion has been an amazing thing to those who study clothes. Its origin was in the This Sunflower Would Have Been Larger If All the Buds Had Been Cut Off As Soon as They Appeared. WORK AMONG THE FLOWERS By L I M A R. ROSE. The rex begonia may be propagated hy slashing the leaf several times across the ribs with a sharp knife, and laying it flat on the cutting box. If necessary, pin it down with toothpicks. The leaves will rot wherever the leaf has been slashed, and soon new plants will appear. ' Perennials sown in the summer should have developed Into good thrifty plants by this time. Plant where they are to bloom next summer, or pot for the window. Late In September pot the primroses and cineraria seedlings grown In frames. Do not allow them to become pot-bound until they are ready to flower. If the mignonette is your favorite flower, September is a good time to Insure a good supply for the holidays. Sow three or four seeds In thumb pots, and plunge them In a box of sand. Sow only the seeds of the large, flowering kind and thin to one plant in a pot. Repot when the pot Is full of roots until the plant Is established In five-inch pots. Secure all the fallen leaves you can, for they are invaluable about the garden. Use them as a mulch and protection for the flower beds and Individual plants and shrubs; bank pits, sold frames and hot beds with them. Pile them in a corner of the garden or bury them and make leaf mold. Store them near the chicken house, to be used for the scratching shed. If a plant looks sickly, do not at once begin to stimulate It with liquid fertilizer. Do not repot it until the the growth starts. Amateurs are liable to ;rlve too large pots. Wandering Jew, climbing nasturtimns. German Ivy. ground pine and forget- me-nots will grow very satisfactorily If the branches are cut and placed in water. They make novel show plant* for the winter garden. ABOUT LILIES By E. VAN B E N T H U Y 8 E N . If ordered early in September, lily bulbs will reach you any time from the latter part of the month until November ; and it is well to have the bed prepared In advance. Prepare the bed now, and as the season advances cover it with six inches of litter of any kind, and then if the bulbs do not come too late, the ground will be In condition to receive them when they do come. Again cover the ground with a litter, and In the early spring remove It. Lilies like a well-drained, moist soil, deep and well-worked over with fine, well-decayed manure. When the bulbs are set in the ground a handful of sand should be placed around each bulb and through this the root will reHCh the rich soil. In my garden I would have all the "lilies of the field" as well as those of the garden. But those of special notice where space and purse are limited, are the pure white madonna Illy, which blossoms In May or J u n e ; the Canada lily, which is found In our fields and Is bright crfmson in color, with dark spots, and blossoms in June or July; the coral'lily which comes to us in May; the longiflorum multl* florum, another pure white beauty. Then we have the spedosum, white with a green band running through the center; blood-red and white, the latter heavily spotted with darker crimson. The golden bunded Japanese lily is one of th«? handsomest and comes just when wo need it most, in late summertime. Itftif«t U l y . o f LHy. BUSTLE EFFFCT IN FALL STYLES m CROPS IN Here is an evening gown on early flemish lines. The material is heavy crepe satin, with girdle of cloth of gold. The bodice and train are embroidered in Flemish design. The lining of the train Is gold-brown velvet. fashionable way of walking called the Grecian bend, which was the absurd predecessor of the equally absurd debutante slouch. In the days of the tie-back skirt, little girls would secure safety pins by indirect means, and pull the fullness of their skirts back and up, thus having a little fluff of their own below the waist. They were always caught at this by their mothers and nurses, because the safety pins tore the material and made gaping holes. Again, In this day of elimination of waste through the necessities of war, we are to be put into the tight skirt with its fullness arranged at the back in a series of slight flares. It is not possible to say with nny degree of certainty whether this skirt will be widely accepted when the autumn comes. Reporting, and not prophecy, is the duty of those who tryto give the news of dress as It comes out week after week. The American designer, as well a* the French one, has gone In for this upward tilt of material at the end of the spine and it may be that the latea fashions will accentuate It. Whatever may be the fullness, though, at any special spot on the skirt those who are regarding the question of new clothe* moat remember that the hem will be almost a* narrow as it was In the days of the hobble aklrc— There is a marked tendency toward the sheath skirt in several of the new costumes. The material slinks Into the figure after it leaves the waist and the hem provides only a stepping width. The shortness of the skirt for street venr. Is necessary. 1» t»* spring here wn« a decided tendency to Mfc-iboti : aits, and many conservstive women adopted the futtkiou with enthusiasm, but if a skirt Is to be exceedingly narrow, it cannot be long. It would be too utterly Inconvenient for women who are plunged into a series of activities. Jackets of Two Kinds. It has already been announced that two kinds of Jackets will prevail in the autumn. One is hip-leugth and one la hem-length. The latter is called a polonaise and the former is called a jacket. The revival of the polonaise is merely a contribution to the fashion for top coats. One can use a polonaise over any kind of skirt and blouse, and if it is lined in the colorful and interesting way that prevulls among tailors today, it presents itself as a garment of rare merit. The short Jacket, however, as it will be worn this autumn, is a bit of costumery that is taken by the back of the neck and pulled out of the family album. ^rYhether or not the peculiar vaudeville trick of presenting a family album in song and living pictures, which has spread over New York through the success of one of the musical revues of the season, was the predecessor of this short, tight jacket, nobody can tell. It Is a far-fetched idea, no doubt, but don't you think it is rather interesting that the stage folk should get up a family album scene that runs through vaudeville fashions as dancing does, and. that, now, suddenly, that coat and skirt should be launched into costumery? One of these jackets which will undoubtedly prove a success because it has been Issued by a dominant house, has a little bustle all its own. It belongs to a skirt that is quite narrow, and it has a bit of an upward pull from knees to waistline at the back— a pull so slight that it is not always noticeable. The jacket fits the figure, curves into the waistline at the back and then flares out into a series of folds that give the bustle effect. It Is buttoned In a straight line down the front. There is a band of velvet above the hem of the coat. The buttons are covered with the wine-colored velour that makes the suit. The collar is very high, soft in its folds, rolls over backward to the neck line and Is trimmed with a band of velvet. Fasten From Chin to Hem. Revcrs are abandoned by the tailors and dressmakers. Where -one coat will have them, sixteen others will be fastened in a straight line from the chin to the lower edge. All the collars are high, but soft and enveloping the neck and chin in the manner that was considered correct in the eight eenth century. Mind you, this style is not the only powerful note in fashion that is brought out for jackets. It Is one of several other details, and a woman will have the chance to accept what she wishes. This latter situation will be the hope and the downfall of many women. Left to themselves to choose among a heterogeneous mass of material, the best minds will grow confused and go wrong. On the other hand, highly trained Judgment will give to women the chance to express their Individuality and look a little unlike their neighbors. It may be said, however, that the coat that fastens in a line down the front, the buttons running straight through the high, rolling collar, will be the most' noticeable change in street costumery that will take place In the fall. The narrow skirt has already been accepted here and there, and there are hundreds of women who have never given It up, so its widespread acceptance will not cause quite the same ripple of interest that will be given by this family album coat with its upward tilt at the back, its point In front Its long, slim waistline under the arms, and its row of colored buttons on which one will be tempted to say the old nursery rhyme, "Richman, poorman, beggarman, thief." (Copyrtg-ht, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper syndicate.) The Shirtwaist Dress. The shirtwaist dress, sometimes made of rub or shirting silk, again of crepe de chine and frequently of shirting flannel, is one of the favorites of the present season. No well-ordered wardrobe is considered complete without one of these charming little frocks, which are as attractive for simple- morning or porch wear as they are for tennis or other sport. Usually a striped weave Is selected, with collar and cuffs of white or plain blending color, giving a pretty trimming touch to the garment Obviously in the most useful type of shirtwaist dress, waist and skirt are securely joined, so there is no uncomfortable "slipping apart** no matter sow strenuous is the sport indulged is. Only a third of South America's population Is of pure whi'e bit**. Good Yields of Wheat, Splendid Production of Pork, Beef, Mutton and Wool. The latest reports givr an assurance of good grain crop* ihroughout most of Western Canada, where the wheat, oats and barley mx no.v being harvested, about ten da^s earlier than last year. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are all "doing their bit" in a noble way towards furnishing food for the allies. While the total yield of wheat will not be as heavy as in VJ15, there are Indications that it will be an average crop in most of the districts. A letter received at the St. Paul office of the Canadtaa Government, from a farmer near Delia, Alberta, ways harvest in that district is one month earlier than last year. His wheat crop is estimated at 35 bushels per acre, while some of his neighbors will have more. The average in the district will be about 30 bushels per u<'re. Now. with the price of wheat in the neighborhood # f $ 2 per bushel, it is safe to say thatvthere will be very few farmers but will be able to bank from forty to fifty dollars per acre after paying all expenses of seeding, harvesting and threshing, as well as taxes. The price of land in this district is from $25 to $30 per acre. What may be said of this district will apply to almost any other In Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta. Many farmers have gone to Western Canada from the United States In the past three or four years, who having purchased lands, had the pleasure of completing the payments before they were due. They have made the money out of their crops during the past couple of years, and if they are as successful in the future as In the past they will have put themselves and their families beyond all possibility of lack of money for the rest of their lives. It Is not only in wheat that the farmers of Western Canada are making money. Their hogs have brought them wealth. and hogt are easy to raise there—barley is plentiful and grass abundant, and the climate Just the kind that hogs glory in. The price is good and likely to remain so for a long time. A few days since a farmer from Daysland, Alberta, shipped a carload of hogs to the St. Paul market, and got a higher price than was ever before paid on that market. Two million three hundred and seventy*seven thousand two hundred and fifty dollars was received at Winnipeg for Western hogs during the first six months of this year. 181,575 hogs were sold at nn average price of $15 per cwt., and had an average weight of 200 pounds each. The raising of hogs is a profitable and continually crowing industry of Western Canada. and this clnss o*f stock is raised as economically here as anywhere on the North American continent. There is practically no hog disease, and immense quantities of food can be produced cheaply. It has been told for years that the grasses of Western Canada supply to both beef and milk producers the nutritive properties that go to the development of both branches. The stories that are now being published by dairymen and be*f cattle men verify all the predictions that have ever been made regarding the country's importance in the raising of both beef and dairy cattle. The sheep Industry is developing rapidly. At a sale at Calgary 151,453 ponnds of wool were disposed of at sixty cents a pound. At a sale at Edmonton 60,000 pounds were sold at even better prices than those paid at Calgary. The total clip this season will probably approximate two million ponnds. Many reports are to hand showing from six to eight ponnds per fleece- 35 carloads were tent to the Torotto market a l o n e - Advertisement. Had Made Good Use of Time.

Nothing is better than milk on which to - raise thrifty, growing calves, whether they are intended for the dairy, the feed lot or the show ring. The ordinary farmer often finds milk too expensive as a calf feed. The following substitute la recommended by the Massachusetts Experiment station: Twenty-two pounds ground oats, ten pounds linseed meal, five pounds middlings, 11 pounds fine cornmeal, 1¾ pounds fine blood meal, onehalf pound salt. Total cost, three cents a pound. Prepare by adding one-half pound of meal to two quarts of. boiling water for each feed. At each feeding moisten the meal first with a little cold water to prevent it forming lumps, and then ponr on the boiling water, and stir well. When this is cooled down to the temperature of milk fresh drawn from the cow it Is ready to feed. It is better to let the calf have whole milk for abont^a week, then gradually introduce a little of the milk substitute for ten daj*s or two weeks, when yon can cut out the milk'entirely. As soon as the cnlf will eat, let It have hay and a little* of the meal dry, together with fresh water. Always have the calf meal mixture milkwarm when fed. * Have the buckets dean and do not overfeed. A young calf will usually liegtn to eat hay at about three weeks old. G. W. DICKINSON reputation for himself as a man ot force with a capacity for doing things. In his home city of Pontiac, Mr. Dickinson was known to his fellow towns men as a successful merchant, a successful banker and a successful farmer. In this last capacity he harvested some excellent crops through the adoption of original ^methods for the cultivation of the soil.

The store of Mr. Ingersoll was entered through the cellarway, where $4.00 in cash was-taken and a large quantity of ice cream and soft drinks were don away with. Entrance was made t Murphy & Jackson's store through a window, a pry from Ingersoll's store being used. Here a number of pairs of shoes were taken, and it is thought some cigars. In the Teeple Hdw. store the back window was smashed in and the safe was open and the draws all out on the counter, but as there WFB no money left in the safe, the would-be burglars failed to realize anything from this source at all.

They are marching away, They are marching away, Their faces with courage alight, True Americans, pride of the nation are they— But our homes are in mourning tonight. They have answered the call of their country beloved, Their all on the altar they lay, A sacrifice meet for the land of their b i r t h - Brave boys, they are marching away. They are marching away, They are marching away, Our boys from each fair sheltered home, Whence the prayers daily rise to the Captain of all: "Oh God, keep our bays as they roam.' "Give them aid for the fight with the foe over-seas, Grant them strength lest they faiut by the way; Be the Guide and the Leader tnrough battle's fierce din Of the boys who are marching away." They are marching away, They are marching away, But God leads the hosts of the right, Be the foe strong or weak; 'tis His cause will prevail— And He'll watch by their campfires tonight. Candid Criticism "You make a hot stab at trying to run a newspaper," said Mrs. Keister, as* she picked up the sheet last week to give it the o. o. "Here you got it that Mrs. Leo Larson was down from Gooding and visited at Knolton's and never said a word about hen being over to see her sister, Mrs. Perry Spaulding; you make me tired. And there ain't a word in here about Alex Simmon being home from Detroit, or that Frank Barker of Battle Creek came up to the office to subscribe for the paper so's he could keep track of Bill Reynolds and Bob Kelley—you hadn't otta be running a newspaper, you ought to be back at yow-okl job digging ditches, you—you nonenity you." That's right mother, we replied you're just like a lot of other folks we know. Ask 'em if they've got any news up their sleeves and they can't think of a thing, but let the paper be off the press and they can shoot more holes in it than we could a boche with a macnine gun. What you people want to do is to try using the telephone, your vocabulary or the mails when you've g o t anything you want printed and then if we den't get it in you'll be perfectly justified in getting out your little hammer and knocking ua till the welkin rings with the noise. —Fred Keister, in the Country Editor.

Mobilization Camp, Grayling, Mich. - To the tune of "Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot," coming from a dozen voices, the owners of which dangled their feet from an army truck winding its way toward the railroad •Cation here, headquarters detachment, IS men and two officers, headed by Major Edgar H. Campbell, left camp Saturday for Waco, Tex. First to leave for the southern training grounds, the headquarters men got a rousing sendoff. ThiB was due^partlsJly to the fact that before they left a message was received from the central department ordering the Thirtysecond infantry, the cavalry and the signal corps to prepare to leave also. . Time of departure of the Thirty-second and otheT outfits is censored, but the best guess was that the railroad equipment would be ready about midweek. It is presumed also that the Thirty-first, \ h e Second Michigan Ambulance company and the field hospital will depart from Grayling at the end of the week or the first of the next week. Captain R. J. Baskerville, of the First Michigan Ambulance company, MAS received orders to proceed to an Attantfo coast camp on the next leg of Hie trip to France. This ambulance company is to represent Michigan in the "rainbow division." NO MORE WHISKY CAN BE MADE Dlatttfery Business Dead for Period of War. Washington—The death knell of the distillery business for the period of the war sounded Saturday night, as the hour of 11 struck. At that moment provisions of the food control act, prohibiting the manufacture of whisky for beverage purposes, became effective. fteports reaching Washiugtou are that most of the COO distilleries of the country will shut down entirely. A few will continue in operation for the manufacture of alcohol for mechanical jtarposes. Distillers Ready to Quit. liig distillers appear ready to quit for all time. The food control act remains in effect only during the war. Afterward, providing national prohibition does not become a reality in the meantime, the distillers may reopen their plants. But it Is doubtful if they will risk new investments in an enterprise that may come under the governmental ban at any moment. It will be up to the brewer* to fight the battle against prohibition alone henceforth. By the time the war is over, it is expected that most of the distilleries will be converted into factories for the manufacture of other products. About 8,te© distillery employes are affected. Large 8upply On Hand. The government loses an annual revenue of more than $150,000,000 by fee banishment of the distilleries. To offset this, it is asserted enough foodstuffs will be diverted annually to other uses to feed 3,000,000 persons. The food control act does not prohibit the sale of whisky, but only the manufacture and importation. A large quantity of whisky i& on hand and unless the government commandeers for use in the manufacture of munitions under authority given by the food control act, it will be a long time before the supply runs out. One estimate is that the stock now on hand will last for two years. The whisky drinking public will be able to appease its thirst for that time although prices will soar as the supply diminishes.

SHIP SHORTAGE BIG PROBLEM General Crozier 8tates British Havt Cut Down Training Period At Home to 3 or 4 Months. Washington—American troops are to be transported to France just as fast as boats can be supplied to carry them. Brig.-Gen. William Crozier, chief ordnance of the army, Indicated in his testimony before the committee on appropriations respecting the 15,000,000,- 000 urgent deficiency bill. Gen. Crozier made several things clear. First, tfat the army officers are not worrying over a shortage of small arms'or ammunition equipment for the troops to be sent abroad. Second, that four months' training in this country, with a supplementary course in France, is regarded as sufficient to fit the greenest men for the firing line, and drafted men will be sent as rapidly as possible after the militia units. Third, that there is a shortage of transportation facilities that LOW promises to delay sending troops to Europe ^fter they are ready for service. General Crozier in the course of his testimony made the following statement in regard to the length of time for training the ney army. ' W e have been informed recently that the period of training at home which has been found desirable for English troops, now that they can get training in France, has been much curtailed and takes no longer than three or four months. In some cases it has been cut down to not more than half that time." * Germans Make Aerial • * Attack On American * * Hospital In France * * * * London—Reuters correspondent * * at British headquarters in France * * telegraphs that the Germans have * * made an, aerial attack on the Am- * * erican hospitals occupied by St. * * Louis and Harvard contingents, * * situated in a coast village, killing * * one officer of the American army * * medical corps and wounding three * * others severely. * * Two others of the rank and file * * were killed and "sixteen wounded, * * five of the Latter being Americans. * MEAT PRICES NOT TO BE FIXED Hoover Says Government Has Power to Set Cost. No Washington.—Price-fixing for meat and dairy products has no place in the government's food control plans, Herb ert C. Hoover, the food adfinistrator, told the National Live Stock conference. Not only would it be inadvisable to institute price-fixing in these industries, he declared, but the food administration has no such powe». Meat PHces Will Be High. As long as there is a heavy demand for meat, with a decreased production, Mr. Hoover said, meat prices will continue to soar. The hope of th*3 food administration is that it can stabilize quotat ons and thus eliminate speculation. "I cannot believe there Is a panacea "or a situation of this kind," said Mr. Hoover. "Our problem is to increase production. The beat we may expect is a slow development towards the ends we seek. Drastic control of pack ins plants, with government operation :;n alternative, will not work. We can administer food control only through the co-operation of all in ; crests concerned. Price-fixing Is Failure. "There is no power in the food bill to fix prices and we never have asked ib.it power. Everywhere In Europe pi ice-fixing—that is the naming of maximum prices—has failed," said Mr. Hoover. "We had the fixing of wheat prices thrust upon us, as it is our duty to purchase 30 per cent jf ~~ j the crop for export.

They were messages to Berlin from Count Luxburg, the German charge at Buenos Aires, forwarded by the Swedish legation there as Its own communications. Besides advising that no concessions be granted Argentina in the submarine controversy, they suggested that the South American country's ships be sunk "without leaving any trace" and gave information as to the sailing and positions of certain vessels. The department's announcement was sent to the Argentine embassy and the Swedish legation here at the same time it was given to the public. There was no explanation as to how the messages came into the hands of the United States nor discussion as to what may be the result. Public Thoroughly Aroused. Buenos Aires—Publie Indignation is at f<ver heat In the oriels that has sprung up with Sweden and Germany following the American state department's revelation of German Charge Count Lux burg's activities here. Except for a handful of pro-German and ultra-conservative papers, the Argentine press is clamoring for the Immediate rupture' of relations with Germany, some leading organs demanding a declaration of a state of war, following the example of the United States. The Swedish minister here, Baron Lowon, denies that any cipher dispatches had been sent to Berlin by the German charge through the Swedish legation at Buenos Aires. HOUSE VOTES LARGE WAR CREDIT Authorizes Issuing of $11,538,945,460 in Bonds—New Loan for Allies. LABOR UNIONS LOYAL TO U. S. Adopt Resolutions Pledging Ai< Ask Conscription of Wealth.

Lansing. Complete reorganization of the Michigan troops which make up the National Guard is called for in orders received by Colonel Ambrose C. Peck, of the Thirty-first regiment, from Major- General Trasker H. Bliss, acting chief of staff. Instead of there being three regiments of 2,002 men each, there are to be two regiments of 3,006 each at the start. If the three regiments are to be made over into -two, there will be enough men to fill the quotas, but one section of the order indicates that there is to be an additional regiment formed later, to be known as a trailing unit. This will mean that there will be three regiments in a short time so that it is doubtful if any one of the three Michigan regiments is to be split up. The third regiment, however, may never go to Prance. This point is not made clear in the present orders. The chief difficulty, according to Colonel Pack, will be to find the additional 1,000 men for each of the regiments. Whether these 3,000 embryo soldiers will come from the drafted army or some other source is not clear. The reorganization calls for companies of 250 men each instead of 15*. Also, there will be three machine g u i companies in each regiment, instead of one, as at present. This is held to mean promotions for officers. The changes in the guard are ordered to take effect when the troops are established in the divisional quarters in Waco. Homelike 8ians at Camp. Michigan's first draft quota was greeted on its arrival at Camp Custer, by large signs bearing homelike words. They read "Detroit," and "Ingham," and "Berrien," etc., and under each sign the recruit sorted himself with his townsfolk. Each day's quota will be similarly sorted, until the final 100 per cent of the draft is present at camp, because the territorial idea, rigidly carried out, will be the basis of the units of the national army. The larger cities will have their regiments^ the smaller their companies, the effort being to keep every man sp far as possible "with his friends. Occupation, according to Maj. Clarence Lininger, division adjutant, also governs the first assignment of men to units. Thus the engineers call for miners, lumbermen, and certain other trades; the signal corps needs electricians, mechanics, etc. It is felt that this will not seriously interfere with the territorial arrangements, because lumberjacks grow mostly in the same districts, mechanics are found in the cities, and so on. Later, it is possible that men wishing to be transferred from one unit or one branch of the service to another will be permitted to make a change, but at the start no choice will be given. The men are being formed into skeleton units, to be built upu gradually to war strength. "Christmas In France." Back of the lines in France by Christmas!

Synopsis—For years old Hilary Kingston lived with his daughter, Ellnar, in a beautiful home on a hill la the suburban villuge of Wofflngham. The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, and the daughter very good looking and gentle. la reality Kingston was head of an anarchist band, composed of Huff, Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old Hilary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. CHAPTER II—Continued. —2— The routine never varied. Elinor tialocked the door to a winding stulrense, which led to a basement room where the steel vault stood In its cement walls. *rte five went down, retnrning shortly with the cash-boxes. The money was divided on the library table, h went by percentages. Hilary drew 20 that last year, each of rhe others 10—a total of 00 per cent The 40 per cent remaining was divided, or sent as a whole, according ts the sense ot the meeting. Berlin got It all one year, for Instance, to Boroday's disgust. Russia generally received a large proportion. The Chinese revolution; the defense of Berkhardt, who killed Ecker the porkpacker; a shipment of guns and ammunition to Central America—thus it went. Although they preferred only money, now and then the loot Included Jewels. By common consent, such gems, stripped of their settings, were put aside for Elinor. They meant nothing to her. Had anyone told her that for several years her shnre had been greater in actual value than all the money that had fallen to her father she would not have believed i t . . . Four days or so after the annual meeting, the rector of Saint Jude's was always asked to dinner. And although the reverend gentleman would under normal circumstances have been fishlag In Canada, he never went until this function was over. For old Hilary, detesting his creed, respected the man. A certnln percentage, then, of old Hilary's share went over the library table, after the dinner, to the rector. "Use It where It will do the most good." he would say. "The church organ—" "Not a cent to the church organ. Boy the youngsters a playground, or —build a lying-in ward in the hospital." Elinor's mother had died in childbirth. The last check had been unusually generous. The rector, who had been smoking one of old Hilary's choice cigars, put It down and faced his host resolutely. It took courage. ••Mr. Kingston," he said, "the church naeds men like you. Why be a Christian in the spirit and—avoid the letter r "Tut- Old Hilary *ose and looked down at him. "I am like all gamblers. Tnls annual check to your poor Is-the sop I throw to luck. That's all. air." And his tone closed the discussion. The word "gambler" worried the rector. • He thought over It on his way down the hill to the rectory. But his poor were very poor. He cashed the eneck the next day. . . . Elinor was In the library that sunny August day when they brought old Hilary to her. She bad never seen death before, except on the streeu of tfexjco, and for a good many years he had been all she had—since her last governess, In fact, had been discovered* secreting the rosary and had been word-scourged from the house In tears. She fainted,, and wrinkled Henrlette laid her on a couch. Boroday. tbe Russian, had brought the body borne, and now be stood, looking down at E2tnor and stroking his •agnstkcat beard. . "He expected i t Henrlette," be said. "He thought It would hare come sooner, In the Parker matter. I wonder-*'* B e glanced through the open door to the billiard room, wwere old Hilary's 'body I«Y op ta* table. Be was minded, wus Boroday. to wonder many things— whether, after all, old Hilary's dauntless spirit had gone out like a lump, or If— This white and carven thing in rbe next room, with stiffening hands and the gray derby at Its feet, surely there was no mystery about it This was not old Hilary: that was all. But where, then, was old Hilary? The Russian, who had been raised within the pale and on an ancient faith, and who had now lost his best friend, felt all the bitterness of his unbelief. Elinor stirred. "He wilt have to be burled." said Henrlette. "The news has gone through the town. The Hsslstant rector of the churcb has telephoned, and Is on his way here now. What am I to d o r "Let them bury him as they will." said Boroday. "What does It matter? he would himself have seen the humor of It." Hilary Kingston had been shot during the dayliffh* robbery of the Agra- Han hank messenger. He was shot as an Innocent bystander, find wn* referred to by the press as philanthropist and martyr. So much for years of caution and the annual gift to Satnr Jude's. As a matter of fnct. the Agrarian affair was calamitous in several ways. It bore too close a resemblance to a St. Louis matter of several years back. In which Boroday had~come under suspicion. On a Tuesday morning, the cash being more thnn the bank cared to have about, two hundred and ten thousand dollars was sent to the clearing house. Two derks from the bank accompanied the messenger, who went by taxicab. There are two direct routes to the clearing house: one along oue of the great avenues, the other through the "Let Them Bury Him at They Will," Said 8oroday. newspaper district Here, at ten-thirty in the morning, things are rather quiet, and except for vans delivering rolls of paper, there Is little traffic The taxicab went by this latter route. Opposite the Record offlre, where the presses stood, silent monsters waiting to leap, old Hilary Kingston was standing, kidgloved and wearing the gray derby hat he affected. As the taxicab bore down toward him he milled i t • "Taxi r he called. The taxicab slowed down. Old Hilary, seeing it occupied, waved It off with his stick. But It had come to a full stop. There was an alleyway beside the Record building, and now three men ran out from there, and thrust revolvers through the open windows of the cab. After that tt was hot work Marshall of the bank went back with a bullet through his lung. The bank ^messenger fired polntblank, and missed his target; but old Hilary, gray derby and all, went down where be stood twenty feet away. Tlfe uninjured clerk had an automatic gun, and swept a circle with it over the bag which lay at his feet There wa&jw getting inside that ring of death. The bandits retreated, firing as they ran. and climbed into an automobile up the street When the reporters in the Record offlee wakened to the fact that there waa a story voder their windows, the street was deaf? Only old Hilary lay dead on the pavement with a bullet to his bead. He had linr.vn a b^nni *uu*- Uie St. Ixuiis matter. That would help. And he had waited to return and claim vid Hilary's body, until the U*cord extra had announced his killing. Walking up and down the wide hall, his keen mind was going hack,-detail by detail, over the day. Talbot and Lethbridge 'n the car had kept on. They had had changes of clothing In the machine. By now they should be at the country club, and halfway around the links. The car, with its changed license plates, would be standing to the eminently respectable country club parage. CHAPTER III. It was. after all, the assistant rector of Saint Jude's who came up the hill that hot August day The news of old Hilary's death had come down from the. city on an early train. The rector was away on his deferred fishing trip where, having exchanged his clerical collar for none at all und having blistered the end of his ecclesiastical nose he was quite happy. The assistant, Mr. Ward, whistled as he climbed (be hill. A* the hill was steep, this proved two things—his j youth, and his lightness of heart. True. I old Hilary Kingston was dead, and vlo- ' lently done to death. But to Mr. Ward death was but the gateway to a larger life; and only very sad in the young. who have not yet lived. Mr. Ward was young, a broad-shouldered young m:tn. with clear, rather deep-set eyes, and a firm mouth. The people of Saint .hide's prophesied that the world would hear of Air. Ward There was only one bar to his progress: he had too much humor. It seemed to the people of Saint Jude's that religion Is a serious thing, forgetting that good cheer Is one of the things it must bring, and it be religion. Boroday met Ward in the hall. Old Hilary was upstairs by that rime, lying in his great bed. All the doors and windows were open, and sunshine filled the rooms. Ward thought it an unusually sane house of mourning. "I'm glad to see the sun." he said. MSo many people close things up.' "Miss Kingston wished things undisturbed." "I came to tell her—but I suppose she doesn't care to see anyone—the rector Is away on a holiday. I'll wire l\hn, of course." Boroday led the way Into the library where the rector hud so recently received his check. He turned and eyed Ward. "Why bring the rector back?" he asked. "It is a little late for—the comforts of religion." "Mr. Kingston gave lavishly to the church. Whatever the church can do—" "I rather think," said Boroday politely, "that he gave, not to the church, but to the poor." " 'Inasmuch as ye give unto one of the least of these.'" Ward replied. and returned Boroday's gaze. Elinor had pulled herself together. By the one standard that hod ruled her life she acted now—her father's wishes. Ward, brought face to face with her. found her unapproachable, cnlin. almost cold. Found her very lovely, too. and let his ardent young eyes rest on her oftener than was wise. Her sit nation appealed to him. She seemed to be quite alone, save for the Russian with the benrd. "If I can do anything." he said, "wire to your relatives—anything of that sort—" "I have no relatives. My mother died when I was born. I—I have a curious feeling that everything in the world has stopped—as though I'd reached the end of things." It seemed to Mr. Ward that he should offer some of the comfort of his faith to this shrinking, wide-eyed girl before him. But what? Rumors had come to him. of course. "Death Is only a tragedy when we think of it as an end and not as a beginning." he said. "It is always sad. I hope you understand that I knowhow terrible all this is for you. But to have lived one's life, active and well and useful to the end. and then to depart In the fullness of days, for new activities—somewhere else—" Elinor shivered In the warm sunshine. "You see," she said drearily, "I do not believe those things. I should like to Just now." Then, almost defiantly : "He was useful. You will never know the things he did that were helpful. But perhaps we would not agree on that either." The Russian was walking up and down the hall, impassive, watchful. Under his stoical indifference, be was suffering tortures. A bullet from the automatic had gone through his left arm. grazing the bone. Luckily, the bullet was not in the wound. Henrlette had bathed and cleansed It but he was in agony. Re was suffering pain, bereavement defeat His face expressed only decorous and conventional regret Now and then he glanced In at the library door, but generally he watched the road up the hill. As he had watched the Church ascending, an now at any time might come Law. Be would hp prepared. The Reverend Mr. Ward makes some interesting discoveries. His new associations with mem- N bers of the robber gang are described in the next installment.

Among" all our* herbaceous plants, there is probably not one that stands higher lu popular favor than the peony. And it richly deserves Us popularity, because of its great hardiness, its ease of culture, its mugnlhcent range of rich and delicate colors, its wonderful profusion of bloom and its tenacity of life. The writer knows many specimens of the old variety, cultivated by our grandmothers, extensively, that have been growing in the same place in the old gardens for more than a century, and, without exception, those that received good care are as vigorous and healthy today as any young plants, and year after year, they give a glorious crop of fine flowers. Many of these oid plants have grown to be clumps five and six feet across, and one can often count hundreds of blossoms and buds in various stages of development on each plant. Such plants as these are what is needed to make the attractions of a garden permanent. There is no other hardy herbaceous plant that can be used with such tine euect in the border. Scattered here and there among the shrubbery, It produces a most satisfactory show of color at a time when most shrubs are not In bloom. Prob-ihly, however, it Is most strikingly effective when planted in large beds. If it can be given a background of evergreens its rich colors show up to great advantage. Shrubbery of any kind as a background, brings Its color) into strong relief, and one should always plant, if possible, with that aim in view. If partially shaded, all the better. The culture of the peony is simple in the extreme. It does best in a rather stiff loam, or almost any soil, preferring It to a lighter soil, because It likes to feel the earth lirm about lt« roots. While it prefers such a soil, It will df» very well indeed in sandy loam, or almost any soil, provided it is rtch in the elements of plant development. To grow good peonies, one must make liberal use of fertilizers, preferably old, well-rotted manure. Unless this is done you cannot expect o vigorous growth of stalks and foliage, or generous crops of large, richly colored flowers. Favorites, the Peonies. It is hardly possible to use too much manure about it, if it is old enough to be black and crumbles easily under the application pf the hoe. It should be dug into the soil about the roots of the plants, taking care, however, not to dig too close or deep enough to disturb them. There is no plant that resents a disturbance of its roots more. Dig Into a clump to secure a "toe" for a neighbor, and very often the parent plant will refuse to bloom the second season. So hardy is the peony that it is not necessary to give it winter protection at the- extreme north, if its roots are put deep into the ground. If given shallow planting, the frost will often heave them badly unless covered with coarse manure or mulch of some kind. The roots should be at least six Inches below the surface. While winter protection is not necessary, it is advisable, because It prevents taxing the vitality of the plant excessively, In its efforts to withstand a severe winter. Why He Came Home.

Straight Coatee Will Be Popular Paris,—One of the most popular novelties of the autumn season 1& the short straight 'coatee which Is cut lu sack form. This smart and eminently useful gtuiu~ut promise! to be universally popular all through the winter. It is comfortable, practical and beooming, and then it is exceedingly economical, for It enables hulf-worn fur coats to be altered, cut up and brought thoroughly into the front line of fashion. All the Paris dressmakers and tailors of the tlrst order are showing these short coulees In their advance winter styles and the buyers are very much pleased with them. The model of this order which I have sketched this week was created by Redfern and it Is an excellent example of the fashions of tomorrow. Tery simple in outline, but so smart and attractive. The material used for the original model was billiard-green faced cloth and the coatee was bordered with mus- $nash. You will notice that the band of fur round the hem has the appearance of having been turned up loosely. It Is not laid on the cloth in the old style. It is rolled back and invisibly <*ught down here to hold It In place. This Is a favorite method with outtest tailors. They apply It to fur bands of all kinds and <•" course to turn-back cuffs. The -eontee Is finished off with a large hood collar, which is also a novelty certain of lasting success. This color is so vivid that It needs to be accompanied by trimmings of , dark fur, or of some dark material. Indeed, I haye seen various shades of green shown In the best houses, almost a* many greens as blues, and this Is a serious paying, as every conceivable •toade of blue is called Into use by our enterprising dressmakers. The Redfern coatee was lined with shot taffetas which showed gleams of gray, ddll rose and dull blue. Suitable for American Women. Beer has prepared an excellent selection of early winter or late autumn models this year. And the general outline is admirably suitable to the averlast year. Chez Beer I saw plenty of fine-faced cloth, and also the new slightly rough material which is sometimes called monk's d o t ' \ but which is in reality camel's hair cloth. The real monk's cloth is a heavy material suitable only for cold weather. Fine blue serge still holds a leading place in the affections of the Parlsiennes, and also of the Parisian dressmakers. I do not suppose that navy blue serge, In a good quality, will ever go out of fashion, even for a single seasun. This year there have been many New Winter Costume of Billiard-Green Cloth.

He la still remaining fisJtfaful to walking dresses which art entirely practical, hot which do not ghre the short effect which startled us The Floating Veil. difficulties in the way of obtaining this favorite dress material. All the best blue dyes came from Germany, and It has taken our own people some time to achieve the best results with home materials, but they have succeeded. Quantities of fine silk braidings are introduced on serge suits, braidings worked by hand, of course. One of the Beer models, an afternoon dress, which pleased me very much, was made of black and white striped chnrmeuse, and the stripes were arranged in two different ways. For the skirt they ran down from waist to hem, but on the tunic they ran round the figure, while the corsage was a very clever mixture of the two methods. This dress had plaitings of black llfceN let ^n at one side of the tunic, and tftefe was a broad sash of raspberry-red peau de sole. N*w Moyen-Age Corsages. Apropos black silk braid trimmings, I must speak of the new moyen-age corsages, which are seen on so many costumes Intended for our girls. These corsages are cut on straight lines and have the round neck which is peculiar to moyen-nge fashions. They give a long-walsted effect, and the correct thing Is to literally cover them with fine silk braidings or with rich embroideries. A plaited skirt is often attached to a corsage of this order, but the latter is Invariably sleeveless and worn over un under-hodlce with long, often transparent, sleeves. This style of dress Is ideal for wearing under warm wraps In Hie autumn or early winter. It is a comfortable, very youthful fashion and very easily achieved. The round moyen-age neck Is more popular than ever. In some establishments It is exploited almost to the exclusion of all other styles. The Idea of having autumn and winter dresses made sleeveless, to be worn over different under-bodlces, is gaining in favor. It is a pretty and economical fashion, for it enables a clever girl to make one dress appear like three or four. The Floating Veil. Is it not fascinating, this floating veil which I have Illustrated? This is the latest style and It is one which will surely prove becoming to American women, who have always 'worn long | and picturesque veils with admlrabfc i grace. ; The model Illustrated was made of pearl*gray tulle and it had a finely embroidered hem which formed a sort of light mask for the lower part of the face. The veil Itself was slightly gathered and attached to a velvet band which was supplied with an Invisible pressure button at the ends. This velvet band was passed around the crown of the hat and fastened at the hack, the long end of the veil being wound around the neck, one end falling over the right shoulder. Floating veils of this order are very fashionable, and they may be said to be universally becoming. They are made of spotted tulle or of fine Russian n e t with a border of filmy lace or of-embroidery, as indicated in the drawing. Last season we were wearing veils which masked the upper part of the face: this season it Is the chin and throat that hide behind the Tery transparent mask.

LIFT OUT ANY CORN Apply a few drops then lift corns or calluses off with finger*—no pain. ffcfr. Just think ! You can lift off uuy corn or callus without pain or soreness. A Cincinnati man discovered this ether compound and named it freezone. Any druggist will sell a tiny bottle of freefone, like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops directly upou a tender corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone is wonderful. It dries instantly. It doesn't eat away the corn or callus, but shrivels it up without even irritating the surrounding skin. Hard, soft or corns between the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain before or afterwards. If your druggist hasn't freezone, tell him to order a small bottle for you frtfrn his wholesale, drug house.—adv. Pertinent Inquiry.

Fruits and vegetables when dried in the sun generally are spread on large trays of uniform size so constructed that they can be stacked one ou top of the other and protected from rain by means of a cover made of oilcloth, canvas or roohng paper. A very cheap tray can be made of •trips of lumber three-fourths of an inch thick and two inches wide, which form the sides and ends, and lath which is nailed on to form the bottom. 0 Spaces one-eighth inch wide should be left between the laths for ventilation, and the trays can be raised off the ground by placing them on poles or an improvised trestle. As laths are four feet long, these* lath trays are most economical of material when made four feet in length. A cheap and very satisfactory drier for use over• the kitchen stove can be made by any handy boy or carpenter from a small amount of email mesh galvanized wire netting and a number of laths or strips of wood about onehalf inch thick and two inches wide. The screen may be tacked directly on the framework to make the drying shelves, or the framework can be made to support separate trays.

CHEAP AND USEFUL DRIER United States Department of Agriculture Qivei Valuable Direction! For Conserving Food by 8imple and Inexpensive Home Proceeeee—Different W a y * of Drying Food Products. IFrom United States department of agriculture.] Fruits and vegetables may be dried in the home by simple processes and stored for future use. The processes are sun drying, drying by artificial heat and drying by air blast. These, of bourse, may be combined. In general, most fruits or vegetables to be dried quickly must be shredded or cut into ullces, because many are too large to Cry quickly or are covered with a skin, the purpose of which is to prevent drying out. When freshly cut fruits or vegetables are to be dried by means of artificial heat they should be exposed first to gentle heat and Inter to the higher temperatures. If the air applied at the outset is of too high a temperature' the cut surfaces of the sliced fruits or vegetables become hard or scorched, covering the juicy interior so that it will not dry out. Generally it is not desirable that the air temperature in drying should go above 140 degrees to 150 degrees F., and it is better to keep it "well below this point. Insects and insect eggs are killed by exposure to heat of this temperature. It is important to know the degree I of heat iu the drier, and this cannot : be determined very accurately except by using a thermometer. The reason sun drying is popularly believed to [ give fruits and vegetables a sweeter ; flavor lies probably in the fact that in the sun tbey'never are scorched, -where- j as in the oven or over a stove scorching is likely to occur unless careful ettention is given them.. j "To secure a fine quality of dried products much depends upon having the vegetables absolutely fresh, young, tender and perfectly clean. If steel '. knives are used in paring and cutting j have them clean and bright so as not to discolor, the vegetable. The earthy j smell and flavor will cling to root crops ! if they are not washed thoroughly be- j fore slicing, and one decayed root may flavor several kettles of soup if the ! Blices from it are scattered through a j whole batch of dried material. High jrrade dried "root" vegetable* can only be made from peeled roots. Blanching of vegetables is considered desirable by some housekeepers, although it is not strictly essential to successful drying..-.

Thts form or^any of the lighter makes of driers can be suspended from the ceiling over the kitchen range or over the oil, gasoline or gas stove, and it will utilize the hot air which rises'during the cooking hour. It can be raised out of the way or swung to one side by a crane made of lath. A good home drier is the cook stove oven. Bits of food, leftovers, especially sweet corn, can be dried on plates in a very slow oven or on the back of the cook stove and saved for winter use. If the oven is very warm the door should be left ajar and the temperature of the oven often noted. Trays for use in the oven can be made from a convenient sized galvanized wire screen.by bending up the edges one or two inches. Good use can also be made of an'electric fan. Directions For Drying. Many of the products for which directions are given here may be dried either with or without preliminary blanching. In such cases both methods are described. ALTERNATIVE METHODS ARE DESIGNATED BY LETTERS A, B, C, ETC. Sweet Corn. Only very young and tender com should be used for drying, and it should be prepared at once after gathering. (a) Cook in boiling water two to five minutes, long enough to set the milk. Cut the kernels from the cob with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut off pieces of the cob. Spread thinly on trays and place in position to dry. Stir occasionally until dry. (b) Boil or steam on the cob eight to ten minutes to set the milk. To improve flavor a teaspoonful of salt to a' gallon of water may be used. Drain well and' cut corn from cob, using a very sharp and flexible knife. Cut grains fine, only halfway down to the cob, and scrapo out the remainder of grain, being careful not to scrape off any of the chaff next to the cob. Dry from three to four hours a t l l O to 145 degrees F. (c) The corn may be dried in the sun. Dry in oven ten to fifteen minutes and finish drying in the sun. Sun drying, of course, is not satisfactory in moist weather. Pack in cartons or boxes for a few days to "condition." String or Snap Beans. AH varieties of string bQ&ns can ba dried, but only beans in ideal condition for table use should be selected for this purpose. (a) Wash, remove stem, tip and "strings." Cut or break the beans into pieces one-half to one inch long and place on trays and dry. They also can be run through the sllcer and then dried quickly. (b) Prepare as directed above, but instead of cutting the beans thread them on coarse, strong thread, making long "necklaces'* of them, and hang them above the stove or out of doors until dry. An old fashioned recipe calls for boiling the pods until nearly cooked through before drying. (c) Wash and string beans,carefully. TlW very young and tender beans caa be dried whole. Those that ar« full givwn should be rut in one-fourth to on* Inch lengths with vegetable sUcer or a sharp knife. They are then put in a bag of cheesevloth or in a wire basket and blanched in boiling Mater for BLX to ten minutes, dei*?nding on the maturity of the bean. One-half teaspoonful of tarda may be added to eaefc gallon of boiling water to halp set the green color in the beana. Remove surface moisture by placing he> tween two towels or by exposing to the sun and- air for a short time. Dry young string'beans two hours, more matured beans three hours. Begin drying at temperature of 110 degrees F. and raise temperature gradually to 145 degrees F. Wax beans are dried in the same manner as the green string beans. Peas. (a) Shell and spread on trays and dry. (b) Shell full grown peas with nonedible pod, blanch the peas from three to five minutes, remove surplus moisture, spread in single layer on trays and dry from three to three and onehalf hours. Begin drying at 11(/ degrees F., raising temperature very slowly in about one and one-half hours to 145 degrees F.» Continue drying one and one-half or two hours at 145 degrees F. (c) Shell full grown peas, passing through a meat grinder, then spread on trays and dry. Whole peas take longer to dry, -but when cooked t h e j resemble fresh peas. The ground peas dry more quickly, but make a product which can"be used successfully only in the preparation of soup or puree. (d) When drying the very young and tender sugar peas use the pod also. Wash and cut in quarter inch pieces. Blanch in boiling water six: minuter. Itemove surplus moisture and dry the same length of time and at the same temperature as string beans. It is not necessary to use soda when blanching peas. Garden Beets, Carrots, Rhubarb, Etc. Beets.—ia) Select young, quickly grown, Tender beets. Wash, peel, slice about one-eighth inch thick and dry. (b) Boil the whole beets with skin until -a little more than three-fourths done. Dip in cold water, peel and slice into one-eighth or one-quarter inch slices. Dry two and one-half to three hours at 110 degrees to 150 degrees F. Carrots.—Varieties having a large, woody core should be avoided. (a) Wash, peel, slice lengthwise into pieces about*one-eighth inch thick and dry. (b) Clean, scrape or pare nnd slice into one-eighth inch slices. Blanch six minutes, remove surface moisture and dry two^and one-half to three hours. Begin drying at 110 degrees F. and raise temperature gradually to 150 degrees F. Parsnips, kohlrabi, celeriac and salsify are dried by the same methods. Rhubarb.—Choose young and succulent growth. Prepare as for stewing, by skinning the leaf stalks and cutting into pieces about one-fourth inch to one-half inch in length. Do no* use the blade of the leaf. Pumpkins and Squash. (a) Select sound, well grown specimens. Cut into strips. reel these, remove all seeds and the soft part surrounding them. Cut strips into smaller bits not over one-fourth inch thick aud.two inches long and dry. (b) Pare and cut into about one-half inch strips and blanch three minutes. Remove , surface moisture and dry slowly from three to four hours, raising temperature from 110 to 140 degrees F. Celery tops, parsley, mint, sage and herbs of all kinds need not be blanched, but should be washed well and dried in the sun or in^he drier. Apples, Pears and Quinces. Early varieties and sweet apples are not well adapted to drying. Winter apples should be used for this purpose. (a) Teel, core. t:mi and slice onefourth inch thick. Dip in weak salt solution containing eight teaspoonfuls of salt to one gallon of water. Spread on trays and dry. It is only necessary to dry apples long enough for them to become tough nnd somewhat leathery. (b) Pare, core and cut into eighths, or core and slice in rings, using fruit or vegetable slicer. As apples discolor quickly, do not let them stand long South Iosco Mies Maggie Grieve of Plainfield viuited at W. 8- Caskey'u laet week. F.

M. E. S, SOY PREDICTS WAR'S END Alabama Child Dies Three Days After TeHina Prophecy to His Parents. Marshfleld, Wis.—In a letter received by Miss Anna Urbanus from her sister in Reform, Ala., she tells of ft queer case of a child, age seven, which has a bearing on the present war. Up.to July the chili never spoke a word until one day when the mother broke a dish the child exclaimed: "You broke one dish." Then he wafi "again mute. The father then broke a dish to see if the child would speak again, and this time he said: "Two dishes are broke." A doctor decided to break a dish also. The child exclaimed: "Three dishes are broken and I am going to die In three days and the war will end in three months." The boy died on the third day, and. according to the letter, the citizens of Reform are eagerly awaiting for the three months to elapse.

Not Such a Fool! There la an amusing little story about Sir Eric Geddes as a boy which shows the new first lord of the admiralty possessed of resourcefulness at an early age. He was somewhere about ten when, on being given $2.50 by his father as pocket money, he forthwith went and spent it all on a second or third hand bone-shaker. This earned him a severe reprimand from his parent for reckless extravagance, but the culprit rose to the occasion. Going out the next day he returned, having sold the bone-shaker for $10. IT NEVER FAILS TO END MISERY OF PILES "Hundreds of people in this vicinity," •ays Peterson, "know of the mighty heailn* power of PETERSON'S OINTMENT in ecrema, salt rheum, old sores, Itching skin and ulcers. They know It cures these ailments—that it is guaranteed to cure them." Now I want to say to every sufferer from piles, either blind, bleeding or itching, that I will guarantee that a 26-cent box of PETERSON'S OINTMENT will rid you of piles or your druggist Vtll return your money. "For years I suffered terribly with itching and bleeding piles. I tried everything and despaired of ever getting rid of them. It gives me great pleasure to state that Peterson's Ointment entirely cured me, and I sincerely recommend it to all sufferers."— Yours truly, David A. Seymour, Supt of Parks, Buffalo, N. T. Adv. For Safety's Sake. Two brothers who live in im East Lancashire manufacturing town were noted for being exceptionally wellserved with nasal organs. One of the ring spinners at the mill where they worked invited them to a wedding, and promised to send a cab for them, says London Tit-Bits. The cab duly arrived, and the two brothers entered and planted themselves down, one at each window. In order to create an impression during the drive to the wedding, the two brothers were looking out of the cab, one on either side, so that the people, could see them. All went well until the cab came to a rather narrow railway arch, which our travelers had to pass through. The cabman looked back to take his bearings, and seeing the two brothers' noses sticking out of the windows on either side, shouted : "Put them elbows In, please I" Swiftly Changing. "Can you give the boundaries of the principal countries in Europe?" asked the teacher. "No, miss," answered the observing young student. "I knew them yesterday, but today's paper hasn't come yet."

THE TULIP IN POTS. Some varieties of tulips are well adapted to the flower pot. The Cluslana vent grows to a height of 20 inches, with a slender stem. The leaves are very long and narrow and the flower sometimes measures two inches across. This variety Is of the funnel form, with bright lemon-yellow flowers, with light shading of green or white, sometimes streaked with pink. It is very fragrant, and when properly cultivated Is one of the most beautiful of all the tulip family. The tulip is easy to cultivate, as It thrives well In either heavy or light soil. It does better, however, in rather light soil, well-drained and fairly rich. Those grown in heavy, black soil produce smaller flowers, and the colors are not nearly so bright. In some of the uplands of Virginia the Ideal tulip soil is found for the growing of bulbs, and It is said to be almost Identical with that of Holland, where this flower is so successfully grown. THE CARE OF YOUR PLANTS By L. M. BENNINGTON. Some persons labor under the delusion that water must be applied daily to their plants In the window garden. More plants are killed every year through this process than by any other means. Plants watered every day are literally drowned out, unless they happen to have the best of drainage. Others go on the "llttle-and-often" plan—that Is, they apply water In small quantities whenever they happen to fhlnk of I t The result Is the surface of the soil is kept moist, and from this the owner takes it for granted that the soil beneath must be properly damp. Nine times out of ten examination will show that an Inch or two below the surface the soil to dry. Of course the roots of the plant cannot do their work under such conditions. The plant soon sickens and eventually dies and the owner wonders what caused the trouble. Now, In watering plants several things have to be considered. First the nature of the plant Some like a great deal of water, others only a moderate amount Second, the soil. A close, loamy soil dries out slowly, therefore It will not require as frequent or as large applications as a light poroui soil from which moisture evaporates rspMly. Third, location and exposures most be taken into consideration. Plants (n the sun or a very warm place, will need a good deal more water then those in full or partial shade or a low temperature. Fourth, the site of the pot must be reckoned with. The soil In a large pot will not dry out for two or three days, but the soil In a small pot will become quite dry every day. Little moisture needed. Fifth, a dormant plant requires but little water. It Is not in a condition to make use of much water, and an oversupply of it will surely result in harm. When the plant begins to grow then Increase the quantity and proportion this to the development made. All these things must receive due consideration by the amateur who would know how to care for his or her plants intelligently. Study them. Experiment with them. In this way you soon become familiar with the individuality of each one and you will be able to give to each the care it needs. We are often asked for some rules for watering plants. It is impossible to make any rule that can be followed strictly. The only rule I have ever been able to give Is this: "When the surface of the soil looks dry, water. Use enough to thoroughly saturate all the soil in the pot You can tell about this by the escape of some at the bottom of the pot Then wait until the dry look appears on the surface again and apply water as before. But as I have said, one will have to modify this rule to fit the conditions. It is a general rule, subject to such change as may appear necessary to the intelligent plant grower who does not believe in treating all ber plants exactly alike. Give fertilizers to growing plants only. A plant standing still needs none, and will be injured by the applications of the food it is not in a condition to make use of. PUNT JAPANESE LILY IN FALL While almost all lilies do better If planted in the fall, there are some varieties, notably the Japanese, which do not reach this country until the ground Is frozen. However, they can be planted even In December if you prepare the bed as follows: Dig the bed deep (two feet) and manure heavily, nslng well rotted manure, and mix thoroughly. When the bed is ready, cover it with a foot or two of fresh manure. This will keep the ground from freezing. Lily bulbs deteriorate when kept out of the soil Unless the chrysanthemum havo been shaded during the hot months they win not come up to expectations this fan. «1V As beneficial as it is enjoyable— to other words* doubly beneficial; that's why WRIGLEYS Is popular the world over.

HIS OLD DREAM CAME TRUE Miner Was Killed in the Manner That Was Foretold In Vision Twenty Years Before. In a lecture at Blackwood Rev. M. Griffin of Cross Oak, a minister who, after forty years' preaching, Is as vigorous as ever, referred to subconsciousness, the mysterious power that controls us even when asleep, says a Cardiff Mall writer. Outside the chapel one of his hearers narrated a curious incident which happened to a Blackwood man. He lived near the present railway station, and draamed one night that while working on his stall as a miner a stone fell on him and killed him. The dream was so vivid that he gave up his work at once and emigrated to America. Twenty years later he returned to Blackwood and sought work In his old colliery. He was told that no one had been working in his old stall since he had left, and work was found for him in the adjoining stall. While engaged there his pick accidentally struck through the coal which divided him from his old stall, there came a fall and the twenty-year-old dream was fulfilled. The Plain Truth. "We are going to entertain company tonight." "Some people you like, I presume." "Mercy, no I We would loae our social standing if we entertained people we like." Exactly.

CHIEF ENGINEER IS ONTHE JOB HESAYS Had Reached the Place Where He Feared He'd Have to Quit Work. GAINED FORTY POUNDS "It's Been Twenty-Five Years Since I've Pelt as Welt as I Do, Since Taking Teniae," Ho Says. "It's been twenty-five years since I felt as well and strong as I do now alter taking this Tanlac," said O. H. Mahaffey, chief engineer of the Life & Casualty Building, Nashville, Tenn., in an interesting interview a short time ago. "After I had suffered for two whole years with a serious stomach trouble and was told that only on operation would relieve me," he continued, "I grew so despondent over my hopeless suffering that I was Just about to give up my job. I had gotten to the place where I couldn't eat a thing but oatmeal and sweet milk and even then the pains in my stomach and through the small of my back kept me In misery nearly all the time. I couldn't sleep at night and grew weaker and weaker until I didn't think I'd ever get any better. "It's no wonder that I praise Tanlac now and am telling all my friends about It.

WILL RELIEVE UNCERTAINTY 'Vlany W i l l Welcome Tests So That Uncertainty of Physical Fitness Will Be Ended. Lansing -Judging from the official telegrams and regulations which are now coming from the office of ProvoBt Marshal General Crowder, the government is going to continue thy physical examination of all men who registered June 5. To this end the present system of local boards will no doubt be continued Indefinitely. With the selection of this week's quota and that for Oct. 3, the work of the local boards for the first call will have been completed. The government estimates that this work will exhaust practically 3,000,000 names of registrants. This will leave 7,000,000 to be handled if there is need of a second call from the president. That a second call will come is certain, but the indications are that It will be several months before it does. In the meantime, it is now the intention of the government to have the local boards leisurely examine the remelning men, with a view to having their eligibility Hats ready for a second call when it comes. In many respects, too, it will relieve the minds of thousands of men, who, without completion of the list of registrants, would not know "where they are at." They catnot enter any business with a reasonable security from draft, but if they should be examined and found physically unfit, they can be assured of no trouble hereafter. The government, too, as Indicated in word received here, is not unmindful of the hard work that has already been done by the local boards. Many of the members of these boards have neglected their business for weeks. and a continuation of auch force employment by the government might work a great hardship. In the examination, however, beyond the quota limit as needed now, the boards will be told to take their time, either devoting only a couple of hours a day to the work, or else one or two days a week. In this way the work could be expeditiously done and at the same time neither the boards nor the registrants subjected to any great inconvenience. 14,400 GO TO CAMP THIS WEEK Shipments Divided Over 5 Days and Can Be More Easily Handled. Battle Creek—Approximately 14,400 young men of Michigan and Wisconsin started going "over the top" Wednesday into Camp Custer. A war department suggestion has been sent out that selected men come to Camp Custer with a bundle containing toilet accessories, a suit of unv derclothing, etc., but no baggage. Those who've been through the mill don't agree to the wisdom of this program. They say to bring an old suitcase with as much comforts as can be conveniently carried, but with the understanding, of course that when uniforms are issued the extra clothing can be sent home in the suitcase. Fortunately not all the 14,400 men will report in one day, as had been planned originally. Wednesday brought 4,195, Thursday 1,851, Friday 3,260, Saturday 2,037 and Sunday 766. The Sunday delegation is an exclusive Detroit shipment. For several weeks Camp Custer will hold little of frivolty for the selects and mothers at home need not sing "Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" with any morbid notion that he's hanging around a den of iniquity. The only wandering he will do will be toward his bunk, when tattoo sounds at 9 o'clock, and when the bugle blows at 9:15 chances are he will be asleep. SENATE PASSES BIG BOND BILL O.

CUSTER FORMALLY OPENED OCTOBER 23 R E L A T I V E * OF D R A F T E D M E N TO BE ENTERTAINED AT CANTONMENT. GOVERNOR AND STAFF INVITED v ,»— -. —... Expected That Michigan Delegation in Congress and Wisconsin Governor Will Be Present. Lansing. Camp Custer will be thrown open formally to the relatives of the national unuy men at the cantonment and to the officials of Michigan and Wisconsin October 23. The Battle Creek Chamber of Commerce, working in conjunction with Major-General J. T. Dickinau, commandant of the camp, will prepare to t-utertain relatives of the men at camp, Governor Sleeper and his staff, the Michigan delegation in congress and the governor of Wisconsin and hia staff and the Wisconsin congressmen have been invited. Soldiers to Come Home Healthy. America will attempt to bring back her soldiers as healthy and wholesome us when they left their homes. Frederick H. Holt ot Detroit told the Camp Custer boys this at the first geueral meecihg held at the camp under auspices of the war reqreatlon commission. Mr. Holt spoke from a wide experience and a familiarity with the subject gained by first hand associations with conditions in Europe. Mr. Holt told briefly of the dangers of soldier life, declaring that one-third of the losses of the countries now at war were caused by social diseases contracted by the soldiers while in training camps. And he told of the effort this country is making now to avoid this evil. "Wherever you go, don't forget that besides being soldiers you are also citizens in the great republic and so conduct yourself that you will come back to your mothers and sisters with as fine a manhood a swhen you entered the army." Small Per Centage Rejected. I^ess than 4 per cent of the men from Michigan and Wisconsin sent to Camp Custer on the first draft are in danger of being rejected. The result of the rigid examinations has delighted the division surgeons, who had expected to lose 10 per cent of the men in the final culling. Michigan sent 1,600 men to Camp Custer in the first increment, and only 52 men haye been rejected. Bad teeth seems to have knocked out most of the half hundred—teeth so bad that dental work could not bring them up to the regular army requirement of at least .two teeth on upper and lower jaws that come in contact to permit the grinding of food. Ear trouble is next in eliminating men. Colonel C. K. Bartlett is positive the men's ears went wrong before they left home or Road Construction Lags. Camp officials are urging the construction of the concrete highway between Battle Creek and the camp be rushed. While this work is now going on, the camp authorities complain that at the present rate of building the work cannot be finished before spring. They point with pride to the progress inside the camp where three miles of similar highway Is open to traffic after thrjse weeks' work. The Battle Creek highway to the reservation is to be used for practically all of the heavy traffic and meanwhile other roads are being cut up so badly that ordinary motor cars make the trip with difficulty. Lots of Good Seed Grain in State. A review by the Michigan Agricultural college of the pedigreed grain situation in the state has disclosed a fine condition of preparedness among farmers for the food campaign in 1918.

ITALIANS SEIZE MOUNTAIN CREST C A P T U R E P O S I T I O N S ON M O N T E SAN G A 8 R I E L E A F T E R T H R E E W E E K S ' B I T T E R F I G H T . THROWN BACK SEVERAL TIMES Austrlans Resist Desperately and Still Cling to Several Positions On Mountain Top. Washington—The crest of Monte San Gabrlele, commanding the plain of Goriala to the south and southeast and the Frigido valley to the east, has been captured by the Italians after three weeks of the most bitter fighting, the Italian embassy at Washington announces. This news of the victory, probably the greatest feat of the Italian arms thus far in the war, precedes the latest official report from Rome. The Italian effort to- capture San Gabriele began after the taking of Monte Santo, directly north, by General Cadorna's troops August 25. Several times the Italians had reached the summit of the great mountain, so important to their further progress east of Goritzia as well as on the Carso, only to be beaten back again. On the slopes of the rugged rock in the last few weeks has occurred some of the heaviest and most sanguinary fighting of the war, with the Italians hurling themselves forward in desperate attacks and the Austrians holding to the crest as desperately. San Gabriele's top was occupied by the Italians, the embassy reports, after the fortified hill or saddle of Dol and the Garagaro basin, the main bulk of San Gabriele, had been taken. The Austrians, however, still cling to some positions on the mountain. In the forest of Tarnovo, east of Monte San Gabriele, the Italians captured positions from the Austriar.s, after suffering heavy losses. ROBBERS MAKE $9,000 HAUL Bandits Blow Safe at Climax Bank Making Rich Strike. Battle Creek—Six automobile bandits drove into the little town of Climax, 12 miles south of Battle Creek, in Kalamazoo county, early Saturday morning, cut all wires, held up the villagers and blowing open the safe at the Climax State bank, escaped with $9,000. The crime is one of the boldest ever perpetrated In this district. It took four charges of explosives and an hour's time to accomplish the work. It is believed the men escaped by way of Athens. The robbery was qarefully planned. The gang came in two automobiles, and about a mile out of town camped out and had a late supper. Just after midnight they entered the town, cut both the Bell and Independent telephone lines, and all the Grand Trunk telegraph wires. The operator, hearing them at work, put out his lights, and later flagged all trains. Several passenger and freight trains were soon tied up there. Ten years ago the bank was entered by the same window that they thieves used this time. At that time they secured nothing. Of the money taken, $2,500 was in gold, and the rest in paper A pile of ' silver dollars was left on the floor of : the safe and paper money was scattered about the floor of the bank. U. S.

PERFECT NEW LIBERTY MOTOR Bids Fair to Revolutionize Aerenautfca On Account Lightness and Power —210 MMes Speed Attained. Washington—With the perfection of the Liberty motor for airplanes, offt('/il announcement of which is made by Secretary Baker, the work of carrying out the mammoth air program, of thjs government is being.pushed with the idea of having 22,000 planes ready for use before spring. This airfieet which is expected to "put out the eyes of Germany" and turn the tide of the war for the allies, is in course of construction, and tt rs learned that the present board of the council of the national defense, can Bee no obstacle to its successful con summation by spring. From unofficial but reliable -sources, it is learned that the Liberty motor bids fair to revolutionize aeronautics and that the statement concerning it issued by Secretary Baker was most conservative. With the motor standardization manufacture in large quantities can proceed with speed. Power and minimum weight are the qualities which are expected to make it superior to any foreign motor. The engineers have reduced the weight to one and three-quarters pounds per horsepower, which means that a 250-horsepower motor will weigh less than 600 pounds. Details are held back, but it is learned that already American planes, equipped with the Liberty motor have reached a maximum speed of 210 miles an hour. By multiplying the motors used this speed can be increased indefinitely and the carrying power of the plane can be Increased accordingly. Two, three and even more motors may be used in the big battle planes. KAISER FAVORS POPE'S PEACE Dispatch Says Teuton Reply Accords With Vatican's Propoaal.

"And we won't come back till it's over—over there," the band kept insisting.

Synopsis—For years old Hilary Kingston lived with his daughter, Elinor, in a beautiful home on a hill in the suburban village of Woffingham. The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, and the daughter very good looking and gentle. In reality Kingston was head of an anarchist band, composed of Huff, Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old Hilary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. The Rev. Mr. Ward, a yoang bachelor, began to take un uncommon Interest in Elinor. CHAPTER III—Continued. Ward had risen. He towered far above Elinor. Because of his heavy shoulders, he never looked his full height. Boroday, in the corridor, stole n moment from his anxieties to find the young clergyman every inch of a man, and to throw him the grudging admiration of defeated middle-age for youth and vibrant life. T h e n I shall not send for the rect o r r "Please, no." "Is there anything at all that I can d o r "Do the—the police know about this?" "Surely. I suppose you have been told what happened." "They will tell me nothing." There was a car coming up the hill. That wonld be it. Boroday eased his acting arm. He did not dare a sling, but the hand was thrust In the pocket of his coat. If only the hemorrhage did not start again! He braced himself and watched. "It was a robbery, you know that?" said Ward, in the library. He picked his words carefully. "As I got the story, a taxicab on its way to the bank was held up near the Record office. Your father had stepped to the curb to hail the taxi, and—it happened then, a—a stray bullet from one of the bandits' guns." Boroday, eyes on the car, heard the statement, and, with the chief coming up the steps from the road to the gardes, took the time to repudiate i t •Tardon!" he said. "It was not a weapon In the hands of the bandits. It was the revolver of the bank messenger." Ward turned In surprise. Boroday's eyes were fixed on Elinor's, with reassurance in their depths. The assistant rector was not subtle, but he had a curious feeling of something behind all this. He was uncomfortable. . "I trust," he said earnestly, "that these ^871008 outrages will be at an end now. Surely the police—" "Possibly." The anarchist's gaze wondered to the garden, where even then the ehlef was making his way toward the house. "Of coarse, these bandits are trained men of unusual lsteJttgene*. If the police were of Intelligence to cope with them—" T e a r T h e y would not be on the force, at meager salaries and petty graft They would be"—he shrugged his shoulders —t»andtts themselves, very possibly." Ward left after that—left with an uncomfortable feeling of having got nowhere. He was convinced of one ttriasj. death, which for him was an open gateway, was for this girl a dated aad fastened door. And be knew something else. No other woman a i d erex aa profoundly Impressed him as tftat gftsl who without hope In her grief s a t it with a high head and B e fait a certain comfort In one tatag. Minor bad made a concession, and Hilary Kingston, lavish giver to the pars* poor, was to be buried from Saint M s f c The eftaaf met Mr. Ward on the terrace aad took off his hat Boroday, IB the dial aafl, felt a certain aeoae of content. Nothing eould have bean more •nspfeftouo, could hare set bis stage better for hie little drama, than the presence of the young clergyman. The whole scene gained tone, decorum. The chiefs visit was short. They had followed the bandits' cur and lost It, und finding himself in the neighborhood— "Be assured," he said to Elinor, in his best manner, "that we'll not rest until tills thing la cleared up. The community"—he cleared his throat— "the community will not lose one of itB best citizens without a violent protest." With the coroner he went up the stairs and into old Hilary's room. The chief glanced about while the haxty examination was being made. "Nice room," lie said. "But a Jolly lot of good it does the old gentleman now I Nice little girl downstairs, too. I've seen that chap in the hal) iumewhere." The coroner drew the sheet over old Hilary's peaceful face. "The preacher? They all look alike. It's the vest and the collar." "The other man, with the accent. German, I take it, or—Russian." Boroday was waiting for them at the foot of the staircase. In the library was a tray, with drinks and sandwiches. The shades had been lowered. The chief ate and drank. And as often as he raised his glass he looked at the Russian over it. At last: "Haven't we met somewhere, Mr. "Boroday. I rather think not." "You remind me of someone—I'll place you, or the person you resemble, pretty soon. I have a slow mind. It's like an Airedale dog; it's a long time getting started, but when It begins it hangs on like the devil." The drinks were cold, and the house cool. The prospect of starting out in the heat and dust did not allure the two men. Sitting there at his ease, the chief ran over the points of the outrage. "In several ways," he observed comfortably, the affair resembles one that happened in St. Louis several years ago. There's the same quality of audacity— and there are other things." Quite suddenly a light came Into his eyes. "Ah !" he said, bending forward toward Boroday. "I told you I'd get It. It was in St. Louis I saw you !" Their glances clashed, the chiefs intent, the Russian's cool, amused. "The dog," said Boroday, "holds on well, but—to the wrong throat." "You have never been in St. Louis?" "Never." C H A P T E R IV. Elinor lived alone after the funeral. Henriette, who had now a chance to "You Have Never Been in St Louis?" practice her favorite vice of thrift was for sending away the other servants. MI can manage," she said. "For all you eat " But Elinor protested. "I shall want to keep up the Saturday dinners. Let things stay as they are for a time," It had been old Hilary's custom to have such members of the band as were available dine with him of a Saturday. Henriette raised her hands. Things are changed," she cried. "You are alone here now. To have those four men—" "That Is better than having one man, Henriette." So Elinor had her way. The Saturday dinners were resumed early In September, Boroday coming with Infinite caution from his cheap boarding house in the South side, Talbot and Lethbridge from the bachelor apartment they rented together. Walter Huff was late. 1 had to be cartful," he told Boroday, aside. They've got wind of something, 1 don't know what My room waa eearcbed today." Boroday swore through his beard* T h e n why did yon come h e r e r ae demanded. Young Huff laughed, glanced at Elinor, and back impudently at the Russian. "You know why I came," he said, in high good humor. "But I was carefuL It's all right." Old Hilary's chair had been placed by Elinor's order. She had borne up well the lust month, waa rather more slender, certainly more appealing. The quality of wistfulness was more apparent thun ever around her mouth. Hud, sitting across, hurdly took his eyes from her. He was young, and women hud hud no place until now in his active, unscrupulous life. But Elinor held him in the palm of her small hand. They missed old Hilary, his saturnine humor, his beetling gray brows. And inaction was telling on them. They were growing restive. Boroday, advising caution in view of what he knew, felt the disaffection among the younger men. It was Lethbridge, who, waiting until the servants had withdrawn, rose and glanced around the table. "It seems to me," he began, "that we have a lot to decide tonight. I've been thinking about it ever since—for some time. The first thing, of course, is whether we are going to hang together or not." Talbot had rather a weird sense of humor. He suggested that the word "hang" be changed to "remain." "We've been doing well. We'll do all right again, too, as soon as this thing Dlows over. It was unlucky, but we've been pretty fortunate. Now we can do one of two things. For Elinor's sake, I suggest the first." "And that Is—" Minor's voice was unsteady. "Send Boroday to Paris to dispose of your jewels. Then get a conservative lawyer to Invest the money." "And after that?" "Forget you ever knew any of us." Huff, across the table from her, went white, but said nothing. "You said there was an alternative?" Elinor was white, too. The room was profoundly still. "To keep on as we are at present, with you, Elinor, acting in your father's stead, receiving and transmitting messages, and—keeping the vault In charge." Boroday was on his feet in a moment protesting. He would take the Jewels and send them abroad, It was risky, but it could be done. But this outrageous arrangement that had been suggested— "What we are, we are by choice," he finished. "You have never had a choice, and now it is given to you. For God's sake, child, go away now, while you may." Elinor's reply, when it came, was unanswerable. "Where could I go? I know in all the world only you four, and old Henriette, and a governess of mine who has gone into a convent in France. 1 shall stay here with you all." So it was settled. That was an eventful evening, with Elinor, misty-eyed, moving into her father's chair at the table, and the band swearing the simple oath of allegiance which held them together. And when they had moved from the dining room. Walter Huff, following Elinor out onto the terrace, told her he loved her. The starlight above, and those nearer stars that outlined the streets below, threw a soft radiance over her. She was dressed in white; old Hilary had disliked mourning garments. Elinor was looking down into the village. The great spire of Saint Jude's towered above the town. Huff, young and ardent, thrilled to the girl's presence close beside him. "You are very aloof tonight," he said. She smiled up at him. "Not that surely. I was only thinking." "Of what?" "Oh, of different things—of the people down there in their houses—their lives, the things they believe; we think they are narrow, but I wonder, after all. If yon and I, who believe none of those things, are not the narrow ones." Huff was not subtle. Possibly he would not have understood, had not the Saint Jude's chimes rung just then. "Symbols like that seem to mean so much to them." said Elinor, and feil silent In the warm silence, Huff felt for and found her hand. "All this time, when I couldn't see you," he said unsteadily, *Tve been thinking of you here alone, and In trouble. Sometimes I thought I couldn't stand i t that Td have to come out and see you, If only for five minutes." "1 have always been more or less lonely. Sometimes I think If I had been sent away to school, had known other girls, ft would have been better. I have never had any friends—except you, and the others." Buff released her hand and faced her. "I don't want to be your friend. Elinor. I want to be mnch more." She was rather shocked st first. She stood, looking up at him, her lips slightly parted. "It Ton—yon—want—" "I lore yon, I want yon to marry me, dear." There was no doubt of the boy's sincerity. It rang true. He stood with his arm* out and after t moment ana went Into them. Except for the father who was gone, this was the first love thut had come Into her life. She took it hungrily. In the starlight she held up her lips like a child /or his k i s s . . . .

There are now more and better materials for making shoes of other substances than leather than there ever were. The canvas shoe has found favor, though confined too strictly to white.

Strange as i-t may seem there is nothing In the world that will spoil a dead fish so quickly as water. If your fishing conditions are such as to prevent your keeping your catch alive, by all means kill each one as qulck)y as caught, and having done so dry It and keep it dry. Remember that a fish strung through the gills and thrown overside Is doomed to a speedy death by suffocation. If you must string them use one of the patent stringers that holds through the Jaw and gives the fish a fighting chance for life. If, however, you can neither treat your catch in this way nor turn them loose in a tank, kill them Instantly, wipe them quite dry and keep them sheltered from the sun. Fish should not be packed so that they come in direct contact with ice; place a sheet of nonabsorbent paper between. Avoid damp moss or seaweed in your creel, Outcast Among Birds. There Is one bird which will not take advantage of bird houses, This is the American cowblrd, which Is something of an outcast among the feathered tribe. This bird never has a nest of its own, even of the most humble character, and she studiously shuns all the worries of parenthood by depositing her eggs in the convenient nest of any other bird. There they are hatched along with the natural owners of the bird home, and demand In many cases the lion's share of attention, as they are large, strong birds, and frequently outgrow the foster mother not only in size, but in her ability to feed her overgrown fledgelings, and It is no uncommon sight to see a wenrv and bedraggled song sparrow in June striving desperately to assuage the hunger calls of her. unruly child by forced adoption.

They create more comment because they do nio^t to lure the eye of admiration that is easily attracted by physical charms. The domestic girl may not be less faored in the endowment of feminine graces, but being not so vain and hating u profound regard for the more enduring attributes of human affection, her faculty of ratiocination schools her indifference to Infatuation thut Is only shallow and transitory. We have evidences everywhere of the gitis who think and are doing a great part of the world's work, They have taken upon themselves an ever Increasing share of the professions where thinking is essential to doing. They take an active interest in *the educational, industrial and economic problems of the community, state and nation In which many of the most practical suggestions are made by girls and women who think. They are nobly assuming serious responsibilities Imposed by war, as they will also in the mighty tasks that will come after the war. And the greatest blessing of all which sends a ray of hope through the mists of the present is that girls who think will become the dependable mothers of the future.

CLARK. Washington. — When the training ips for the men of the new National jarmy*are pitched and the young Americans march in to begin their military studies, every one of them can know [that the officers who are in command, particularly those of the highest ranks, »180 are Just entering school to learn lessons. ! It may not be that the officers of the service who are to rule over the !new camps either as major generals or (brigadier generals have full realization that such is the ca*se, but t h e fact is that In a large sense these officers .themselves are entering into camps where, like the young civilians who Joined the officers' reserve camps* they must either make good or get o u t ; There are many general officers ap- .pointed to high rank recently who must .center their bodily and mental efforts jon the work ahead. With the officers (of regulars who have been appointed [there are t h e brigadier generals of the •National Guard and the two major generals of the same organization who also must make good or step down and jimt before the times comes to go to Stance. ' The reasons for this ought to be app a r e n t The United States has entered upon a war which Is to be carjried on after new military methods, Few of.the men, if any, who now hold major general rack ever have bad an opportunity so mcsch- as to see a dkrtsion of troops In the field, let alone opportunity to command a division. Mutt Make Good. " The work; which these major generals and brigadier generals of regulars and of National Guardsmen do in the training camps will decide whether or not they are to be allowed to continue their work in command of large bodies o | troops on the fighting line in France. It takes only a reading of the list of the names,of the officers recently given general rank in the army to prove that the-1 United States finally has an army in the field none of whose commanding officers received promotion because of political influence. In 1898 when the Spanish war began, men with political pull in some instances were given high commands. The results in a number of cases were disastrous. The general staff of the army, aided by civilian officials of the war department, succeeded in preventing political influence from taking effect in the recent promotions to high army rank. There are yet to be appointed a good many men to field work sen-ice in the new National army, that is to the ranks of colonel and lieutenant colonel and major. It is not believed that political Influence will avail to affect these promotions any more than it availed in the naming of major generals and brigadier generals. The war department has realized, and has said so, that it may have to go outside of the army and the National Guard to secure the services of some officers for comparatively high rank. There will not be enough material In the .service to supply all the field officers needed. It must be remembered that thousands upon thousands of the regular and National Guard officers are very young men, and the majority of them have not had enough experience ' to Justify, from the army point of view, their appointment as first and second in comma'nd of regiments. The war department officials today have in their possession a list of names of only 71 men outside the present service who may be , considered for field officer's rank. Tt is said that there are some few political pets on this list, t h a t is, men who have received the Indorsement of senators or representatives or governors, or someone else high in the service of one political party or another, but i t is pretty well known that even those men who received t h e Indorsement of politicians nave had previous military erperlence ."and have been put on the list, not be- 3canse of their political Indorsements, l>ot In spite, of them. Commission* for Some. " I t Is said that it does not follow a t mil because there are 71 civilians listed « 1 Available for army appointments 'ih$t all of them a r e to be given comififaajnnn " I t Is probable that not more eigkt o r ten of them will be given • { . f e e outset, b»t t h e chances i*re that Inter when we must raise bigger armies more of these auen will be appointed aud that tu rhe> list already in existence other names will be added. An amusing story is being told here of a United States senator who, finding that his influence was not to avail in securing appointments for political friends, cast about him for means of getting some credit for himself out of the appointments that were made without any reference to him. This senator, it is said, wrote to the men Trom hla state who had received commissions and called their attention to the fact that he had not tried to prevent their appointment. The chances are ke did not even know that they were going to be appointed, but he> did his best to secur» the good will, by the only means possible, of the men who had been given preferment without any reference to their friendliness with the political powers of their home states.

Fruit Salad.—With a sharp knife slit one side of large dates, take out the seed and fill with blanched pecan meats. For each plate put two leaves of romaine side by side pinched together and a row of dates in each leaf, resembling peas in a pod. Put a half teaspoonful of green mayonnaise on the ends of each leaf. This green mayonnaise, by the way, is made by soaking strips of sweet green peppers l in slightly salted ice water for two hours; then drain, chop fine with a sharp knife and fold into mayonnaise.

London.—Serleus skin Infection caused by the ashes of high exploslvt bomb powder, will probably deter Lon doners from picking up bomb frag ments after future air raids.

Hospital authorities identified the trouble as that which frequently attacks munition workers who handle T N. T. The trouble starts within c few hours after the hands touch the bomb fragments and the disease 1? progressive unless checked by medl cal attention. """ Flies That Kill Spiders. Flies are the natural prey of spiders, yet, strange to say, there are in Brazil some flies which prey on spiders. These daring little insects do not differ much from ordinary flies. They are hynienoptera, and Pcpsis ornata is a typical insect of this kind. They usually come upon the spiders when the latter are unprepared and sting them to death. A spider after being stung once has generally sufficient strength to hide in a tuft of grass, but his shelter proves only of temporary service, for the pitiless fly soon returns and completes its work by stinting the helpless victim twice in the lower part of the thorax.— Exchange.

I do not wish the Kaiser ill, I wish him nothing that would kill; No bomb, with neatness and dispatch To wipe him from life's kaffe klatch No dagger thrust between his ribs That would destroy his royal nibs; I would not have him swiftly die; That is too good for such a guy. I only wish the Kaiser might Hay fever get, and get it right. I wish the Kaiser's royal nose Might know the woes my poor knows, I only wish his royal chest Might always feel as sore distressed As mine mutt feel until the day October's frosts shall come our way. I wish that royal piece of cheese Might be forever doomed to sneeze Death is too good for such a king Hay fever would fee just the thing. A pair of watery eyes and red, An aching and a throbbing head. A choking throat, and fevered lips, And then a nose that constant drips; The wish for sleep but all in vain; To end one cough to cough again! All these are parcel of the wish I cherish for that royal fish. If I could work my will sublime, He'd sniffle to the end of time. | I'd never let the kaiser die, i Although for death he'd often cry; \ As punishment for all he's done, | His nose forevermore would run, i A million years on earth he'd stay : And sneeze a thousand times a day. I Sweet sleep would never find his bed i All night-long—the floor he'd tread. Death is too good fdr such a king Hay fever would be just the thing.

The total valuation is $2,800,000,000 and the total amount to be raised by state tax is $9,609,339.36. The figure does not vary much from the estimates made some time ago, although the rate is now fixed for the first time officially. According to Mr. Fuller's figures 35 counties will get more money out of the primary school fund this year than they will pay in .state taxes. This is about the average number of counties so situated.

Can we not sacrifice a little more of oar time and harry along the knitting and sewing and get the finished garments in their hands before the cold weather sets in. East Lansing, Mrch. A study of conditions in the rural schools of Michigan conducted by the Michigan Agricultural college through its department of agricultural education has resulted in the unearthing of much inefficiency and lack of economy in the maintenance of the state's country school system. "The country educational system of the state is ineffective and expensive," Prof. W. H. French of the college has written in a report of his observations; "and in hundreds of districts it costs more per capita to teach the children during eight years in the rural course than it does to teach the children in a twelve year course, including the high school, in many of our Michigan cities - that is it costs more per child per year. "The question of taxes and equalization have been discussed with great vigor, yet there is no tax which the people pay that is so unequal in itself and so unequally distributed, as is the school tax. We have communities in Michigan where the school tax runs as high as 6 per cent, and still other communities where the primary school interest fund from the state practically pays the entire expense. This phase of the country school question should receive careful consideration at the hands of our rural people. "In Vevay townseip in Ingham county, where a typical example is afforded, there are six rural schools and the city schools of Mason, The per capita cost in each of these rural districts is higher than it is in the city of Mason. If these six school districts were ail consolidated with the Mason district the teaching force in the town- Bhip could be reduced by three or four teacners, and by transporting the pupils it would be possible additionally to give all the children the same educational advantages, and at less expense, than is now incurred. This instance can be duplicated in at least 500 otber townships in Michigan. "Another plan would be to combine the six rural schools into two or three schools, with two teachers in each. These schools would be in the country and could take the children easily through the first six grades. After that, the pupils by providing their own transportation could attend the centra! school without great difficulty and atj very small expense. 1 his plan might j not decrease the whole amount of the • tax levy, but it would distribute the j money equitably and increase the com- i munity spirit. If districts are com-1 bined so as to have two teachers in j every rural school the efficiency of the j school could be increased 100 per cent, , the community spirit improved and the per I sbhool made more nearly an educational ! center. "These consolidated schools, and high schools in which an agricultura course is offered, tend to check the cityward movement of farm boys. Careful investigations of the agricultural work in our high schools showed in one year 100 young men who when they entered the high school had no idea of going back to the home farm, but who as a sisult of their school training declared they had secured a new interest and a new virion of the possibilities in agriculture and were going to return to the farm. Thus, agricultural training in the high school saved at least 100 keen young men for agriculture. This year there are 3,200 boys studying agriculture in the high schools of the state."

The Michigan National Guard will not get into the fighting for at least a year, according to the best information here. This belief is based on the fact that the British troops were trained for 12 months before being sent in, the experience having been I that in this new war-game, troops that ; were not expert were more of a hindrance than a help. The Michigan brigade will not be In the United States all that time though, according to reports, but in all probability will sail before Christmas. The rest of the training will be within hearing distance of the big guns at the front. If the local interpretation of new i orders from Waco is correct, the j Michigan troops will follow the Wis [ consin troops into the trenches ini stead of leading the way. j The Michigan troops are now the fifty-seventh depot-brigade. This is \ taken to indicate that they *vill be i held in reserve and used to supply men as those on the first line become exhausted. Also, the regiments may ; be sent into relieve the Wisconsin ' men and in this way preserve their unity. [ There is a difference of oninion on this, however, and it is held entirely I possible that, depot brigade or no depot brigade, the Michigan men will ; get on the firing line as soon as any other troops, tion in favor of Ireland is highly desirable, in order to g^in the sup- * j United States in Mexico port of Irish influence here." • • « • < * • • : * * * * * * * The state department has plenty of proof that the cablegram as made public actually reached Germany. Neither Secretary Lansing nor any other officials would say whether any reply ever reached the ambassador. It is presumed, however, that one did, inasmuch as at that time the channels nC communication of the German embassy were of the best.

Across the page streaked the name timations that certain organizations, through which v on Bernstorff worked, were mentioned in the cablegram were denied. No Comment By Lansing. Tbe text of the message was given out without comment. Extraordinary disclosures already made has fixed the belief that agents of the United States government have C O U N T V O N B E R N S T O R F F . collected and compiled the entire story of German dupliolty and intrigue. Tfce reference to avoiding war is taken as an Indication that Bernstorff had knowledge of his government's intention to proclaim a merciless submarine warfare, and that be.was equally confident that the United States government could not be placated by mere promises. The German annenncement of its submarine plans wee not made public until January SI. Three day* lster the United States government had severed relations with Germany. The German ambassador had denied knowledge of his government's inten- Uos and pretended that he dM sot approve the course Papen and 3oy-Ed, attaches of the embassy. Atop of this revelation linking the Germany embassy with throttling designs against the United States. Senator King releaved letters that proved Fair Play and other radical newspapers had fattened on the largesse of German and Austrian agents. He advised weeding out the propagandists and counselled making war on Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. King told the senate he had photographic copies of checks and receipts for men y pr id bv von Bernstorff to the Fairplay PubMshing Co. and Marcus Braun, its editor, among others. The Fairrlay magazine may be one of the guiding hands of the "organization" mentioned by von Bernstorff as a possible factor in trying to influence congress against war. The sums paid out to it by the embassy show that it was a constant drain on the Teutonic exchequer. King said he also has copies of paper* showing payments from the Austrian embassy to foreign language newspapers. Among these is a |700 subsidy paid a Polish newspaper. Data Is A u t h e n t i c . King's data is known to be absolutely authentic and further shows the extent of von Bernstorff's web of influence stretched throughout this country. The King expose coupled with the state department revelations, stirred congress to new demands for searching Inquiry into the use of the disloyal press in spreading German propaganda. King's data shows that von Bernstorff was operating his pro-Teuton poison early in the war and the payments cited by King were almost two years previous to those Bernstorff admitted were being made in January, 1917. If we can get a definite lead to work on, we will begin an Investigation of the Bernstorff slush fund," said Senator Overman. Overman is chairman of the lobby Investigating committee. This com mlttee can begin the Investigation without a resolution or any farther authorisation than it possesses. Overman conferred with several senator* who have evidence. New A r r i v a l s Are Happy Lot. More than 14,000 boys from the Michigan homes came over the top to Camp Custer last week and, smiling, laughing and singing, entered upon the great adventure which lies before t h e m . ' From the time that the fifst group arrived, until the hour when the last strays had been sent to- barracks where warm food and ready cots awaited them, there was no change in the sentiment. Three weeks ago when the first contingent straggled into Camp Custer, the feature of the day was the enthus- ; iasm of the officers. Last week it was the spirit of men themselves. Suit- i cases in one hand, flags in the other, i they tolled and sweated and laughed and joked, unafraid, unabashed, confident and willing, typical American yo'uths. It was a sight that thrilled and ' made the heart beat faster. And old as the men of the regular army are in the experiences of their service, even they stood moved by the spectacle. Something had robbed these men of the feeling of uncertainty with which their fellows came three weeks ago. Somewhere in the interval that has passed since they saw their friends march away, they have gained a new and true conception of Camp Custer and all that it includes. No Cavalry at Custer. There will be no cavalry training in Camp Custer. After much speculation, including speculation on who was to be the cavalry horse trainer, this much is clear. The government is making ready artillerv and infantry for the trench.wars in Prance. The day of" the cavalry may yet come, when the resistance of the Germans is broken. /Then hordes of horsemen will prove priceless, in roiling into Germany and advancing the outposts of Invasion. The government's first plan for the cantonment included the organizing of nine regiments of infantry and one of cavalry. Each infantry regiment was to have a machine gun company and there would be a machine gun troop in the cavalry regiment Italians Appeal to Governor. Governor Sleeper has been appealer to on behalf of the Italians of Michi gan to get the state department at Washington to remove a peculiar ban which hangs over all Italians or cons of JUliana who enlist in the United Slates army or who are dratted for the national army. In brief, the United States and Italy have no treaty by which Italians or sons of Italians, born in this country, who serve in the army in America are exempt from duty in Italy. Rep. John Deprato, of Iron county, member *of the legislature for years, acted as the spokesman for the Uali'ns, and impressed upon Governor S'eeper'and other state officials the necessity of having something done by the state department. A resolution introduced last June by Rep. James has j seemingly been lost in congress and j in the general mixup over war at ; Washington nothing has happened to it. Board Acts to Avoid Vice I'ls. i The question of the social evil in connection with the cantonment at Camp Custer has been taken in hand by the war board, particularly the presence of communicable diseases. A committee consisting of Dr. H. M. Sawyer, of Hillsdale, member of the state board of health. Dr. A. S. YVarthin, of the University of Michigan, Dr. Guy L. Kiefer, of Detroit, also a member of the state board. Dr. C. G. Parnell, city physician of Jackson, and R. M. Olin, secretary and executive officer of the state board, was appointed to investigate feasibility of segregating women afflicted with communicable diseases and tho possible detention of these women in the university, hospital at Ann Arbor. Diseases of immoral eau.se are legally "communicable" and can be ouuran tined. The state "epidemic law" also enables the health board to declare an epidemic when it so decides and to control- an infected district and remove the victims to a state hospital. It is not expected that the report will be forthcoming for some time, but when it does it will be acted upon promptly. It is realized here that if the state is to take official cognizance of the matter at all, it must act at the start. Canvass Farmers in Loan Drive. Every farmer in the state will be canvas?ed by members of committees in charge of the Liberty loan drive, which probably will be launched in October, according to plans outlined at a conference at Lansing. Michigan's apportionment will be $100 000,000. In the last campaign Michigan's quota of $63,000,000 was oversubscribed more than $1,000,000. The same organizations which had charge of the last campaign will be employed in the next drive where possible, it is planned. It is believed that the prosperity which has resulted in farming communities from $6 beans, $1 potatoes and $2 wheat, will add materially to the success of the campaign. The new bonds will be sold at 4 per cent, which is also an added inducement. It has been suggested that a day be set for a rally in each of the 8,000 school districts in the state to boost the loan. CAMP CUSTER NOTES Stop Visitors at Camp. The terrifflc influx of visitors at Camp Custer has led to an order by the officers proh."biting visitors from entering without a pass. The rule on passes will he fairly strict, and visitors will be discouraged. Those having business In camp will of course be permitted to enter, but »the division stiff advises that they arrange for passes as early in the week ae possible. Because of the immensity of government business personal conversations are prohibited on camp phones. Bishop Kelley is, expected to visit Camp Custer October 24, to dedicate the first Knights of Columbus building. It has been announced by Captain Tage, in charge of postv exchanges, that no concessions will be granted in camp. Because of numerous changes In camp construction it is estimated the plant will not be completed before March 1. Major General Dickman has caused a sign to be erected on camp roads forbidding a speed in excess of 15 miles an hour. A formal notice has been received from the war department stating that no regiment flags will be taken to the front lines in Prance. Special attention is being paid to messes in all companies. Officers realize that unless the men are well fed they cannot fight. Only the best provisions are purchased and the ration is to balanced that variety is the rule. Camp Custer will soon witness the thrilling realism of "bayonet drill.** Every stage of a bayonet battle will be represented. The boys will hare the<r first drill without weapons, then with ticks, then wi>h rifles, then with rifles and fixed bayonets. Some of the enlisted men are going to be taken up with a short halt That la, tome of the regulars who are falling to salute reserve officers en the downtown streets.

C -*A THE YOUNG CLERGYMAN SURPRISES ELINOR WHILE SHE IS DOING HER SHARE IN A DARING COUNTRY CLUB ROBBERY Synopsis For years old Hilary Kingston lived with his daughter, Elinor, in a beautiful home on a hill in the suburban village of Woffinghara. The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, and the daughter, very good looking and gentle. In reality Kingston was head of an anarchist band, composed of Hun*. Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old HHary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. The Rev. Mr. Ward, a young bachelor, began to take an uncommon interest in Elinor. Young Walter Huff of the gang confessed bis love for her and she accepted It. v> CHAPTER IV—Continued. Tl»e police were still active. So insistent was Boroday on caution that all of September went by without so much as a plan of campaign. Talbot played ?olf and established friendly relations that might be invaluable later. Huff, under protest retained the taxlcab work, "It's a dog's life," he said. •They're not after me now. Give me something else to do, or else let me take a vacation." But they kept him at work. Huff fell Into the way of seeing Elinor tmce or twice a week. Talbot took him out, picking him up on the edge of town after dusk, on his way In his car to a dance or dinner at the country club, and taking him back the same way. And the boy's infatuation for Elinor grew and thrived on those late summer meetings. Her sweetness and elusiveness maddened him. Sometimes he thought her never so far from him as when she was In his arms. "Do you love me?" be would demand hoarsely. "1 think so. I know I want you to love me." And he had to be content with this. On the evenings when she was alone Elinor sat In her arbor and watched the road up the hill. Ward had called twice, and each time she had heen out on the long rambles she took almost flaily. After his second visit, she stayed In the house for days, expecting him. But he did not come again. 8he was n<it in love with Ward, Just as she was not in love with Walter Huff. But the clergyman represented. In her strange and lonely life, some- Cbing new and different. He typified all that she had never known. He was the priest, rather than the man to her it first. The time was coming when be would be man only, and after that— Late In September Boroday was arrested. The arrest came as a shock to the band. As a matter of fact the police could prove nothing, but the chief bad a long talk with the Russian. It was the Agrarian affair, of course. The chief bad recognised him. But so firmly bad old Hilary's respectability been rooted In the public mind that the chief connected Boroday only casually with him. "Yon know that I cannot prove this thing on you," he said', "but you know lis© perfectly well that I can fix you to the tone of about ten years." "Perfectly correct in both instances," mid Boroday. T o n cannot prove anything «nd yon can send me up. What is it yon wantr "I want the members of that band of fours," said the chief. "And I want rour headquarters. Ton people have Seen playing hell in this county long mougn; the newspapers are laughing it us. 8ooner or later, well get you and get yon all. Make It sooner and well let you off easy." "How ranch time will you give m e r Tnc ehtef offered twenty-four hours md Boroday took It At the end of that time be reported. "I eneas m take what's coming to ne," he said. T o n can fix It any way FOB tike." Jt was a bitter disappointment to the •etlee. try club coup. The Russian was in Jail then, on a trumped-up charge. Old Hilary dead and Boroday In Jail—there was no one to advise caution. "Boroday ill!" Elinor exclaimed. They were accounting for his absence from her Saturday-night dinner. "Why. then he should be here, where he can be cared for." "We told him that." Lethbridge was always readiest with his tongue. "But he's not sick enough to need much, and he's deucedly disagreeable when he's laid up." Elinor was a little hurt In the arbor, after dinner, they planned the robbery. Where old Hilary would have taken a month to think and plan, they took minutes. There was a ball at the club that night, the last of the waning country-club season. The entrance to the grounds was a mile from the clubhouse—two Iron gates standing open between pillars, and dense shrubbery all about. Talbot would wreck his car there, driving Into one of the gates. That would require each departing car to slow down, probably to stop. The arrangement was that Talbot walk up to the club, and establish an alibi and his innocence by telephoning to a city garage for help. The rest CHAPTER V.

A quarter of a mile away across the golf links, they would have a car in which to make their getaway. Lethbridge was only lukewarm. "Well get a lot of Jewelry." he objected. "What we need is money.* But Talbot was sure the loot would include money. It was rather cleverly planned. From the vault Huff brought up a fine chain studded with spikes. Stretched across the road outside the entrance, ft meant that every car passing over It would limp along on flat ttrea. It meant time to the bandits. Huff and Lethbridge. who had left their car 1Q a thicket over the hill, went first Talbot followed soon, in his gray car. "Good luck, hoys," said Elinor In echo of her father, from her garden, and went hack Into the house to watch the clock.

Then, when he was sure of her. he run up the shullow stepe. The gladness thut was over him rung out In his deep voice. "So now I have your secret," be said gully. "Like all the other fairies, you are only to be seen In the moonlight I" "In the daylight," said Elinor, trying to smile, "I frequent the woodlands, and miss my moat agreeable visitor— my only vial tor." She corrected herself. Her hand was ice in bis. "You are cold I" "Really, no." There was a minute's pause. They had no common ground between them. Ward, who dreamed of her eyes, and took long walks up the hill in the mere hope of seeing her In her garden, found himself dumb, now that he stood before her. He had meant to be most Impersonal, to run in. say a cheery "good night" to her, and be off. But face to face, with the dark house looming over them, he plunged into the thing nearest his heart. "Are you still ao—alone?' "There are the servants." "I—I think of you often. One of my windows faces this way, and I can see a light burning very late." "I read at night. I do not sleep well. But you—you are up late, also." "Ah!" He bent a little toward her In his eagerness. "You know that* You know my window?" "Yes. I watch it very often." It was well for Walter Huff, crouched In the shrubbery at the country club, eyes glittering, automatic revolver In hand, that he did not hear the thrill in Ward's voice that night In Elinor's garden, or her soft reply. Many things cried for utterance in Ward; his pitiful sense of the girl's loneliness, a yearning desire to comfort her, to be near hei*—even more that magic night, a mad longing to hold out his arms and coax her Into them, as one might coax some shy creature of the woods. But Elinor was suddenly aloof and distant again. At any time now a car would come wildly down the hill, and toss at her feet its defiance ot law and ownership. What had she and this man before her In common? The thrill was In his voice now, but how quickly It would turn to loathing when he knew! She put out her cold hand, and he took it. "I am going in now. Good night, and thank you for stopping. Ward found himself dismissed, and, rather dazed, went down the steps to the road. But one thing he carried with him down the hill that night: "I watch your window very often." The reverend Mr. Ward left his light on all of that night, so fearful was he that she might look for It, and not find It •And while It burned, under the very shadow of Saint Jude's once more the vault In the basement room at the hall swung open to Elinor's practiced fingers. The village rang with the news of WHY HE CLOSED POST OFFICE Ike Wanted to Transfer th« Rush In Business to His Other Establishment Dncle Ike Ross, a weatherbeaten mountaineer, who presides over a post office among the hills of southern Missouri, peered through the stamp window at two city men who had tramped Ave miles from their mountain camp to post some business letters. He shook his head. "There's been a plumb big rush of business at this hyar post office this morning," he drawled, "and Tm all tuckered out I reckin I won't sell nobody no more stamps till after dinner." "But" gasped the man nearest the window, "these letters have got to go! They're important and they've got to catch the stage and get off today." Uncle Dee was obdurate. "Hit shore don't pay no man to work hisself to death," he said deliberately, and withdrew to a chair, where he tipped back and dropped into a doze. "Some folks," snapped the city man. "would be too lazy to make a dollar if all the opportunities of the next 50 years came and perched on their doorsteps I Now, where are we going to get dinner?"

No one had been hurt, but Jewels of large value hud been taken. To Huff and the others, the raid bad been practically a failure. There had bettu leas than a thousand dollars in money—not enough to begin negotiations for Boroday's freedom. It began to look aa though the dangerous business of selling some of Elinor's jewels would have to be resorted to. Lethbridge was willing to undertake it, trying London first and then Paris. Elinor offered all the diamonds. If she must keep a part, she would keep the pearls. Talbot sorted out the stones to be sold, but left them with her for safety. She had never cared for her Jewels. They were not half so lovely as her flowers—and she parted from them without a pang. But there was one pink pear-shaped pearl that had come In the night before, that she would have rather liked to wear. On Monday afternoon Ward called on Elinor. The memory of that short meeting in the garden had been with him ever since. There was a new light in his eyes, but she greeted him de murely, although she flushed with pleasure. "Not In a woodland, for once," sho said. "And all my falryllke attributes faded In the daylight!" "Isn't it rather rash?" he asked gravely—"this risking the daylightV "I am here because I hoped yon would come to see me." It was Ward'fl turn to flush. "You said you were lonely, 1 thought—" "I am alone, but not as lonely a* you think. There Is plenty to do. I have my garden, and I make up llttl<* bouquets for the school children. You should see how they love them. Some days 1 have a dozen clamoring In the road under the arbor." Ward was charmed. He had a quick vision of Elinor, eyes dancing and soft hair blowing, bending out of her arbor window and dropping her quaint sweet Williams and marguerites, mignonette and garden roses, down to the children. She led the way to the terrace, where Henrlette was setting the tea-table. "Nevertheless," Ward said suddenly, "I am not at all sure I like your living here alone. It doesn't seem safe." "Safer "Perhaps I am unwise to alarm you. But this outrage at the country club—" "Ah!" said Elinor, and bent toward him. "There is no longer any question that a band of desperadoes Is terrorizing the county; an organized band of considerable intelligence. They get their information from the Inside. This last outrage shows It. No one Is safe." "And this country club affair?" asked Elinor, watching Ward Intently. Things become the gang and It pretty begins at though Elinor wou public disgrace. hot for to Id look face (TO B E CONTINUED.) The Battlefield. The Somme front In the snow and brilliant sunshine was magnificent, says George Bernard Shaw In the London Chronicle. The irony of the signposts was Immense. "To Maurepas," and there was no Maurepas. "To Contalmalson," and there was no Contalmalson. "To Pozlcres," and there was no Pozieres. On the road to Ypres the trees had stood, an unbroken old guard lining the road, with hardly a gap In their ranks. But here! With every limb shot to bits, beheaded, halved, cut off at the shins, torn out of the earth and flung prostrate, these woods seemed to scud with bare poles or broken Jurymasts before the wind as our car passed, all their rigging blown and shot away.

Hence many a time we must give up our own pet notion and yield our will to God's will. The sooner the Christian will do this, the sooner he will be blessed of God.

W. N. U., DETROIT, NO. 39-1917. TWO VARIETIES OF HEROES One Who Admits He U of Make-Be- Heve Class, Tells of Life in the Trenches. There are real heroes and make-believe heroes; and they are not always easily distinguishable. I do not hide from myself that I belong to the make believes. And yet, It is remarkable that I did not find the second week at the front as terrible as the first. It Is not as bad there as it seems, says a writer in the Atlantic. When once you get accustomed to the Idea that you may be dead ID a day, or in an hour, or In & minute, and when you are clear as to your future, your mood is relieved from constant depression. Involuntarily you become kind and helpful to those ebout you, you do not get vexed over trifles, you are ready to make all sorts of sacrifices. Of course. If, in the midst of such a condition, a grenade suddenly drops Into your trench, if you see three or four of your comrades getting killed, your misery returns, no matter how good an outward appearance you may keep up. At least for a while. But then again the thought comes that getting wounded means rest and safety, and good core. And death? that is still less terrible.

WINDOW AND VERANDA BOXES By EBEN E. REXFORD. Where vines are lacking a most excellent substitute for them about the veranda Is furnished by plants grown in boxes made to fit the spaces between the posts. These boxes the boys of the family will be delighted to make, if they are like most boys I know, if you will furnish thera good tools to make them with. They should be at least a foot wide and a foot deep and the timber of which they are made should be of fairly good quality, for It will have to resist considerable pressure when the box is filled with the soil. These boxes will be found most satisfactory If allowed to project outside the veranda rail. They should be well supported by braces running from the bottom of the box on the outside to the veranda floor. Paint them some neutral color before filling them with soil. If ordinary soil Is used you will have only an ordinary development of the plants you set out to grow In It, while what vou want is vigorous growth. Therefore, send the children out with shovels and baskets and Instruct them to gather the rotten vegetable matter to be found In old fence corners and about stumps and logs. No matter how full of roots It is, the nutriment you are In search of Is there, and a few roots more or less will not Interfere with the plants you propose to grow In It. On the contrary they will prove of positive benefit as they will help to keep the soil light and porous. Before filling the boxes with soil, bore a few holes In the bottom of them to allow for the escape of surplus water. In all probability there will be no surplus water to escape, but It Is well to be on the safe side. When you put the soil Into the boxes press It down firmly. If dumped In lightly evaporation will be rapid and the roots of your plants may suffer in consequence. At the outside of the box set vines of quick development, like German Ivy tradescontla, moneywort, or the madeira vines. These will soon hide the box completely and after a little they will form a screen for all that portion of the veranda below the rail. Morning glories can be planted here and there along the box and trained upon strings and made to furnish shade for the veranda as well as a screen. Other flowering plants can be selected to suit individual taste. Almost any plant can be*sed with reasonable chance of success if care is taken to see that the soil in the box is always kept moist. This Is the secret of the success of the culture of plants In window and veranda boxes. Do not be satisfied with a quantity of water that will wet the surface of the soil and leaves that portion of it two or three inches below almost as dry as before any was applied. Use It by the pailful and make sure that the soil In the box is moist. Here is where most persons fail In box gardening. They use a pint where a pailful is needed. They overlook the fact that because of their elevated position these boxes part rapidly with moisture by evaporation. Being exposed to iiot air and wind on every side they are likely to become dry In a very short time, and the only way to prevent this Is to make it a rule to apply water In liberal quantities every day. Do this and you have no trouble in growing good plants in them. Neglect to do this and you will meet with the failure you deserve. While the ordinary window box affords a great deal of pleasure by the flowers It furnishes at the window sill, It furnishes no shade for the window. Most delightful awnings can be made with very little trouble by nailing strips of lath together in a square-and fastening them to the top of the window, letting them slant downward In front on the angle of the ordinary cloth awning. Support them by braces running from window frame to their outside edge. Cover them with coarse wire netting. Plant quick-growing vines at the ends of the window boxes, and train these up the strings until they cau take hold of the netting that covers the framework of the awning. In a short time you will have all the shade you need and your window will be as attractive to the eye, from outside, as it is pleasant to the occupant of the room. The good old nasturtium makes an excellent veranda box plant, because it will droop If allowed to, and will at the same time, cover the surface of the box with Its pleasing foliage and richly colored flower. The petunia is another most excellent plant for this purpose, because of its combination habit of upright and drooping growth and its profuse flowering. Candytuft, lobelia, and sweet alyssum are all free-flowering plants of decided drooping habit, and cad be made very effective as an edging of these boxes. The children will take great delight in growing plants from seed and should be given boxes of their own In which to conduct their experiments. TIMELY NOTES ON BEAUTY SPOTS If your lawn is larger than you can care for properly, plan to have it of suitable size next year, by filling tn with thrifty, hardy growers that will take care of themselves. Don't neglect to drop a few seeds of perennials In the bare places this month for bloomers next year. Seedlings cost but little money, while plants are expensive. Many beautiful things can be raised from a package of mixed seeds of perennials. Now is a good time to plan changes In the border and the flower garden, as one can see the mistakes in planting *he tall growers In front of the low ones; in grouping ill-matched plants and mixing Inharmonious colors. Keep a note book and pencil in hand. In arranging the home lot, whether for fruit shade or ornament, plant the tallest growers well to the rear, grading down to the lowest or creeping things, letting the rows run east to west, that all may have the sunshine. They can thus be seen to the best advantage, and prove a Joy to the" beholder. Pansiea in a Diss) af 5 •> Michigan News Tersely Told Charlotte.—J. B.

Clemen.., fell 1,500 feet at 10:30 o'clock Satur. day morning arid was instantly killed. T h e theory is t h a t Mong fainted because of the high altitude, fell across the controls, and prevented t h e machine from righting itself. Although there have been several accidents and falls at Selfridge field since the aviation school was opened in July, this is the" first fatality. Mong was making his third flight of the morning. W h e n the accident occured his machine was making what is known as a "tail spin," a straight dive for the ground from a high altitude with the tail of the machine whirling around. Suddenly the machine turned turtle, made t w o complete turns, and, upside down, slid off at a t a n g e n t toward the ground. Recently Mong passed the necessary tests for reserve military airmen, and was in line for a lieutenancy. W h e n the fatal flght was being made, he was doing advanced or " s t u n t " flying. He was regarded a t the g o v e r n m e n t school as one of the most proficient flyers. T h e machine fell across t h e river from the military reservation.

HEN BOARD Washington.—The traditional sword yill not clank a t the heels of American army officers in France. This is the first time in American history the officer's sword h a s been abandoned in battle. The French and British armies banned swords for their officers during t h e first year of the war. The American army now follows suit by official order of the war department. The reason U simple and sufficient j During the first year of the war French*! and British officers wsye easily distln- j gulshable from their men by their: awords, uniforms and insignia and the j boche sharpshooters concentrated their ; fire on them with deadly effect. The Idea ever since has been to make commanding officers look"as much like enlisted men as possible. Couldn't Tell Haig From Private. If you met General Haig, commander in chief of the British field forces, at the front in France, you couldn't tell him from a private until you got close enough to shake hands with him. The insignia of French, British and American officers on the western front now cannot be seen farther away than the whites of their eyes can. They 'wear the same uniforms and carry the same arms as the enlisted men of their commands. The war department has employed experts to devise cloth colors and b u t ton and Insignia material to make twe troops as nearly invisible as possible, The buttons on the army field service uniform are dark bronze. The insignia on an officer's coat are small bronze, dull silver or gold devices which cannot*e seen across the street, The only difference between the Insignia on the collar of an officer and on that of an enlisted man is that the enlisted man's letters are on a disk, while an officer's are In a straight line ' and separated.

Infantry, two crossed gold rifles, Philippine scouts, the same except that "P" replaces the regimental number. Porto Rican regiments the same, with the letters "P. R." in the upper angle. Aids wear the shield of the United States, its stripes red and white enamel on a field of blue, all bordered In gold and Rurmounted by a spread eagle. On the blue field a star or stars indicate .the rank of the general on whose staff t h e aid is serving. Corps, department and arm of the service a man is in also are shown by the facings and stripes of dress uniforms, but dress uniforms have been tanned for the duration of the war. 'The grade of an officer is shown by his shoulder straps. Disease Carriers. There are numbers of people who are what is called "carriers" of disease— i. e., they have always the germs of typhoid, diphtheria, infantile paralysis or other communicable diseases in their systems in such numbers that they cause infection in people around them. They are not themselves sick, and they generally do not themselves know of the peculiar condition in' which they" are, but they do carry the infection to persons around them, and they are therefore a veritable menace to the health and life of the community. Since these cases are curable under proper treatment, it is only fair that the community demand them to secure such treatment—Exchange. Out of the Way. Colonel Hal Corbett, formerly of Kentucky, but now practicing lawT in New York, went to an athletic tourney over on Long Island last spring. One of the contestants showed tremendous speed and agility, notwithstanding the fact that he was a one legged man. "I wonder how that young chap lost his leg?" said a friend to Corbett. "I figure that he didn't lose it; that he had it cut off purposely," said Corbett. "In the name of heaven, why?" "So it wouldn't get in his way and hamper him when he was out winning those track events," said Corbett.—Exchange. A Wonderful Mind.

I met a man last night who Is that way." "Was he a lawyer?" "I can't say as to that, but be had an intellectual grasp that was marvelous.

Paris.—One single Item excepted, everything in France has advanced from 25 to 200 per cent inf the last three yours. The rent of large apartments is the only item which has decreased since the war began, and that is due to the fact that thousands of foreigners—American*, chiefly—packed off to the United States in August, 1914, subleasing their homes fur a song, and thousands of French people who formerly had handsome places can no longer afford the upkeep, especially with coal almost impossible to get and with the servant question a greater problem than it ever was. Today one can find a handsomely furnished apartment of seven rooms or more in a fine modern building, with all improvements, at a cheaper rental than the place would have cost unfurnished before the war. But one would find also an elevator—of the automatic brand—that does not work, radiators with no heat, hot water pipes with no hot water, and a re- I striction on the very amount of gas and electricity consumed per month. And with positions at good wages in munition factories open to every girl from sixteen years up, It Is almost impossible , to find house servants. Small Apartments Dearer. j Rentals for apartments of one, two, three, or even four rooms, on the other hand, have mounted steadily. They are in demand by the well-to-do refugees, Belgians and those from the north of France who arrive in large batches daily, Telephones were Increased exactly 50 per cent a year ago.

The land was put In cultivation a good many years ago and not long after put down to grass ami kept in pasture until last year when it was appropriated for a garden back of the new house. Last year a splendid crop of weeds was grown In the garden. Not by me, please understand, for I have a const! tutlonal antipathy for weeds, inherited from a long line of farmer ancestors. 1 might have expected a very good warden this year without special attention further than cood cultivation, hut I know that garden vegetables are voracious feeders and concluded to supply mine with ul! they could take care of by putting on commercial fer Ulizer. The land was plowed hist full, turned under the w ' n l s which were from waist to shoulder high. Tins spring a beautiful crop came on ami was worked into the soil before the garden wa« planted.

ORDER IS EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1 Committees Appointed By Fuel Administrator Will See That Order of Government Is Enforced. Washington — Government control uver the coal industry has been made complete by an order of Fuel Administrator Garfield limiting the profits of retail coal and coke dealers throughout the country to a basis which is expected to bring about an immediate reduction in prices to the consumer. The order, effective October 1, directed that the retailers shall fix their prices so to limit their gTOss margins over cost to the average of the gross profits during the year 1915, plus a maximum, of 30 per cent of the 1913 margin, provided that in no case shall the average margin of the month of July, this year, be exceeded. Local committees appointed by the federal fuel administrators in each state will s e e to it that the dealers comply with t h e order. Dealers themselves will be called upon to return sworn costs sheets showing the facts upon which they have based their prices. Dr. Garfield selected 1915, as a normal year because the coal shortage which resulted in continued rises in prices did not begin until 1916. The additional 30 per cent is allowed to cover the increase in the retailers cost of doing business, which has Increased substantially during the past two years. Prices already fixed by the government for coal at the mouth of the mine are near those charged in 1915, and with the jobbers' charge now limited to 25 cents a ton and the cost of transportation not materially Increased, the consumer, In every community, should be able to get coal of any description at approximately the price he paid in 1915.

According to Survey, 50,000 Detroit Homes Have No Fuel 8upply. Lansing—That there is an alarming shortage of coal in Michigan especially in the large cities was brought out emphatically by a survey Just completed in Detroit, under direction of the Detroit Board of Commerce. Fifty thousand Detroit homes ara without coal, and without positive assurance of being able to secure a winter's supply of fuel, a condition unprecedented at this time of the year. The results of the survey have not been made public in their enttrety, but enough of the chief features of the report are known to reveal a situation startling in its indications of hardship for the public.

LEADERS CHARGES MEN W I T H CONSPIRACY TO HAMPER GOVERNMENT DURING WAR. SEIZED RECORDS SHOW GUILT Documents Taken in Raid Said to Reveal Plot to Re«ist Draft Law and Foment Strikes. Chicago—Formal return of a blanket Indictment charging a nation-wide conspiracy to hamper the government during the war has been made in the United States district court here against 166 leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World. Seditious conspiracy- the crime nearest to treason within the definition of the criminal code—is charged. ThlB offense is punishable by six yeare' imprisonment or $6,000 fine, or both. Indictments are understood to be based upon revelations brought to light in the recent country-wide seizure by federal authorities of documents and correspondence of the I. W. W. in approximately CO towns and cities. These documents are understood to have revealed the existence of a conspiracy, the most far-reaching in its acope of any yet unearthed, to embarrass the government in the prosecution of the war by resistance to the draft law, by fomenting labor disturbances, by burning crops and forests and in numerous other ways. A camparatively small coterie of men it understood to have directed the entire movement. The evidence laid before the grand jury was of such volume as actually to weigh a ton or more. There was evidence that German money was plentifully supplied, as shown in many letters and cancelled checks. Indications pointed to a group of men as prime movers In the great conspiracy with a large number of agents acting under their orders. One feature which the investigation brought out sharply was the almost predominating membership of Austrian* in the ranks of the I. W. W local organizations. Thousands of these men, unrestrained because the United States is not at war with Austria, feaeral investigators have found, have been free to carry on whatever activities were planned. Among the first to be taken into custody was William D. Haywood, secretary of the national organization of the I. W. W., who was questioned September 5, when the headquarters of the I. W. W. in various cities were raided by the government. After he had been questioned by Hluton O. Clabaugh, of the department of justice, Haywood was held in default of $25,000 bail. iECOND LIBERTY LOAN ISSUED Bonds Carry 4 Per Cent Interest—Sale Closes October 27. Washington—The campaign for the sale of the second issue of Liberty bonds which was opened Monday, October 1, will close Saturday, October 27. The chief features of the new issue are: Amount—$3,000,000,000 or more, tbe excess not to be more than one-half of the amount of over-subscription. In other words, if subscriptions to the extent of $5,000,000,000 are filed, $4,000,- 000,000 of bonds may be alloted. Term of bonds—Maturity, 25 years; redeemable at the option of the secretary of the treasury, in 10 years. Denominations of bonds—$50 and multiplies of $50. Interest rate—Four per cent, payable semi-annually on November 15 and May 15. Terms of payment—Two per cent on application, 18 per cent November 15, 40 per cent December 14 and 40 per cent January 15, 1918. The privilege of converting bonds of this issue into bonds of any succeeding issue bearing a higher interest i than 4 per cent during the period of j the war is extended. I Through an arrangement under I which bonds will be printed with only ! four coupons instead of 50 (to be exchanged at the end of two years for the bonds containing the full number of coupons), deliveries will bo prompt. In this manner, the issue of Interim certificates will be avoided. Camp McArthnr, Waco, Tex.—Completely losing its identity as a regiment, the Thirty first Michigan infantry upon its arrival at Camp McArthur, Waco, was split up and the enlisted men and officers were divided between the old Thirty-second and Thirty-third. No sooner had Colonel Ambrose C. Pack announced the safe arrival here of all the Thirty-first men than he was informed by General Lewis C. Covell, commander of the Michigan forces, that complete reorganisation of all the state guard had been completed. Cavalry Made Artillery. Here are some of the important points in the reorganization: The Thirty-first, Thirty-second and Thirty-third regiments are wiped out as such; in their places there will be the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth and the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth infantry. Cavalry outfits are transferred to artillery and there will be no cavalry troops in the National Guard. Michigan troops will form what is known as a fighting brigade, the sixty- third, and are likely to go to France early in 1918. A machine gun battalion of three companies will be part of the Sixtythird brigade. Commanding the brigade will be General Lewis C. Covell; Colonel John B. Boucher, former commander of the Thirty-third, will command the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth infantry, and Colonel Joseph B. Westledge, who commanded the old Thirty-second in the north, will command the new One- Hundred and Twenty-sixth infantry. Identity of Troops Saved, That the Michigan guard was not made the Fifty-seventh depot brigade as had been ordered, was due entirely to^the activity of General Covell, officers here said. If the Michigan soldiers had been used as a reserve force, then they would have been scattered among the Wisconsin fighting regiments and would have lost their identity. The result of this would have been that when I he history of the war was written Michigan troops would have received no credit for participation. Claiming that this was a decided injustice, General Covell, after many conferences, won over the department, Washington—A communication from and instead of Wisconsin having two the governor of Minnesota and the fighting brigades, she now has one State Public Safety commission, re- fighting brigade and one depot brigade, questing expulsion from the senate of and Michigan has one fighting brigade.

CATHOLICS AND PROHIBITION. The Liquor publicity bureaus are making much of the fact that Cardinal Gibbons Is opposed to prohibition. They would have the jpublic forget the many stalwart champions of the antiliquor cause in the Roman Catholic church. They would like to blot from its memory the words of Archbishop Ireland: "Were God to place in my hand a wand with which to dispel the evil of intemperance, I would strike the door of every saloon, every distillery, every brewery, until the accursed traffic should be wiped from the face of the earth," They would erase from the rememberance of the communicants of that church the scathing Indictment of Archbishop John J. Keane : "If I could cause the earth to open and swallow up every saloon in the world, I would feel that I was conferring upon humanity a blessing. The saloon is bad for the home, the church and the country. It has no redeeming feature." They would have good Cathoucs forget the advice of Cardinal Manning: "The drink traffic is u public, permanent and ubiquitous agency of degradation. The drink trade Is our shame, scandal and sin, and unless brought under by the will of the people, It will be our downfalL Do you know how you can help to break up tliis unholy alliance between government and the greatest fraud of the age? Vote against It."—The Union Signal. GREAT GAINS TO LABOR. Conditions in Shreveport, La., a dry city, are thus described by Mr. Thomas J. Greer, president of the Louisiana Federation of Labor: "Since the influence of the liquor traffic has been removed from union politics we have made tremendous gains in Shreveport since the town went dry in 1908. Membership in labor unions has increased from 1,800 to 3,700, and home-owners among union men have increased 40 per cent. The carpenters' union has increased its membership from 65 to 375. When Shreveport was wet the painters' union had 35 members, working ten hours a day for $2.75. Today the painters' union has 145 members, eight hours a day nnd 55 centp an hour, or a scale of $4.40 per day. Barbers have shortened their hours of labor, raised wages continuously and have a 100 per cent organization. A brewery under the wet regime employed six non-union brewery workers; today an ice factory at the same location employs 40 union ice workers." FEW SITTING IDLY BY. Of all the reasons that may be urged ngainst the use of alcoholic drinks (especially during the wnr) the two that must appeal to physicians with irresistible force, are (1) the action of alcohol In lessening all forms of efficiency, physical, Intellectual and moral, and (2) the Intimate connection? always found between drinking, prostitution and the spread of venereal diseases. The evidence against alcohol on these accounts is so overwhelming, so well-established and so generally known that it does not seem necessary to go into details. Only the other day an experiment was mentioned In the Journal which showed that 60 grams of brandy caused a depreciation In the marksmanship of expert shots of 80 per cent In rapid firing and 50 per cent in slow firing. What sense is there In training men to become efficient and then sit idly by and let the hard-won efficiency be taken away by alcohol?—Journal of the American Medical Society. WHO 18 RESPONSIBLE? I have observed that every bandit crew that goes forth to murder startj from a saloon; that every panderer has his rendezvous in s grog-shop; that every den of thieves makes its victims drunk, before It robs them; that every house of prostitution has its bar or is in partnership with boose; that every gambling den either is in s saloon or sustains a dose relationship with one; that the pickpocket ••trust* is housed in a saloon; that the "payoff joint" for the crook and the crooked policeman Is in a saloon; that the professional bondsmen and character witnesses for thieves and holdup men are saloonkeepers or bartenders.—Judge Gemmlll of Chicago.

MORE WHEAT PRIZES Honors for Western Canada Come Year After Year. At the recent boll Products Exposition at Peoria, 111., in a keen contest for the coveted first pri*e for wheat. Western Canada has again carried off all the honors. Not only has she won the first, hut also the second and thin I prizes. These were won by Mr. 8. Larcoiube, of Blrtle, Manitoba. In past | years the Province of Saskatchewan had the distinguished honor of carrying off the iuitlul prize. Harvesting a.nji threshing are now completed in Western Canada, and while it is early in the season to give exact figures as to the average yield per acre of wheat, oats, barley and Max it is safe to assume that the former will yield about 20 bushels per acre. The price to the farmer will be about $2.00 per bushel, giving him $40.00 an acre of a return. When it is considered that the land upon which this wheat Is grown averaged less than $30 an acre, it takes very little figuring to arrive at an estimate of the profit there is to the grain grower of Western Canada. The writer knows where u farmer purchased 160 acres of land In the spring of 1016, broke it up the same year, put it in wheat In 1017. His crop was harvested a few days ago. It yielded 4,800 bushels and he sold it at $2.05 per bushel, giving him $9,840. The land cost him $4,800. breaking, seeding, seed, cutting and threshing. $1,920. His profit was $3,120 after paying for his land and his costs of improving. He has now $3,120 to commence another season with a "paid for in full" Improved farm. Never has farming offered such profitable returns for labor as at present and nowhere Is the large profit equal to that of the low priced, high yielding lands of Western Canada. There has been a big rush during" the past few weeks of renters and owners of high priced lands In many parts of the United States to Investigate these 100% profit reports. No better season of the year could be selected by anyone desiring to better their condition and wishing to give Western Canada the "once over.'* Threshing is now completed and tho grain being marketed. The weather Is fine and will be pleasant for a couple of months and a visit now to personally investigate the conditions will be convincing ami profitable. White old home Lies nnd family associations are one of the first considerations In the mind of the reader, who feels that, the old five or ten per cent return Insufficient, it behooves the modern and progressive farmer always to be on the alert to grasp the opportunities of the hour. Land in Western Canada that if? annually producing n gross return of from $40.00 to $S0.00 per acre is purchasable at from $15 to $30 per acre. It can be seen at a glance that such values cannot help but increaseas they have done In the older agricultural districts of the United States. The new settler will find himself surrounded by same contented and prosperous neighbors. The expense of making one visit to look into Western Canada's opportunities is small—n special reduced rate is available and you owe> yourself ,a holiday and a trip may do you good. You, owe your dependents a right to better your condition and Western Canada offers that opportu* nit v.—Advertisement. Real Foresight.

The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except that the father was quite wealthy, und the daughter, very good looklog and gentle. In reality Kingston was head of un anarchist hand, composed of Huff, Boroday, Talbot and Lethbridge, that robbed the rich and gave to the poor and oppressed. One day Old Hilary was shot dead, and the course of life changed abruptly for his daughter. The Rev. Mr. Ward, a young bachelor, began to take an uncommon. Interest In Elinor. Youhg Walter Huff of the gang confessed his love for her and she accepted it. Then Boroday was arrested on suspicion and his companions perpetrated a country club hold-up to get funds for his legal defense, but were sadly disappointed In the amount secured. CHAPTER V—Continued. "An audacious piece of work. Half the women In this vicinity suffered, Most of them are my parishioners." "Ah!" breathed Elinor. "I am sorry." Ward shrugged his shoulders ruefully. "It means, I dare say, that the poor of the parish will get less than ever this year. Mrs. Bryant, for instance, who has always be*m generous, lost a j)earl necklace and a wonderful pearshaped pfnk pearl." MIs she—a wealthy woman?" ''Very, I believe." "Then Is It such a terrihle thing for Jier to lose the pearl? Perhaps these '•bandits, as you call them, think they <"Ould use these things better than the people who owned them." Ward smiled. "I daresay we all think we could use the other fellow's j*ossesslons better than he does." Elinor persisted, frowning n little. "Things are so terribly mixed up," •he said. "If you could know the things thnt I know"—Ward looked faintly nmused—"the people who are fighting /or a principle, and have nothing to ilght with, fighting for life sometimes! A good half of the world, you know, just Rtrugglea along, and the other half is so smug, so satisfied ; It's—it's horrible." Mr. Ward stared at her. "How in the world do you come by such thoughts?" he demanded. "I've never known anything else; I 'was brought up on the Injustice.of things. You have your poor here in the parish, but you see I was brought xip with the poor of all the world. I am afraid I'm always for the under dog." Rather startled was Rev. Mr. Ward that summer afternoon on the terrace at the Hall, startled and puzzled. "Down In oar hearts," he said, "perhaps we are all of us for the under dog. But how does that excuse my bandltsr •This Mrs. Bryant—how much dc 3rou suppose you are going to lose for your poor by her loss?" "Not so much, but enough. She had promised a lot of things.

EHinor looked down over the village. •Then perhaps, after all, it would be better tf I married at once." "Ah! You are to be married?" "Now that my father is gone." said jBHnor wistfully, "It seems the best «altit> And—I should like children. I feave no friends, except perhaps you,** Ward atrore to keep his voice steady, *nd matter-of-fact. "Marriage U so serious—so vital a thing.** He was trying to be calm and jBdlctal. But his voice sounded far toff; his heart pounded in his ears. "To narry because one is alone, or needs friends—Is a flimsy foundation to build "I had a governess once who had that sort of faith; it was a great comfort to her. But I sit here on my hillside, and It seems to me that spread out at my feet Is nil the Injustice and cruelty and hatred In the world. And your God allows It all. My father tried to believe—tried hard, but he said that when he asked for bread they gave him a stone." "Do you know who said that?" "My father." said Elinor. Rather surprised, he let It go at that. CHAPTER VI. Once again Elinor surprised him. "There have been few really great fcjaiaaoas In the world,** she said. "I cmld almost count them on my fingers. ftrjie rest of as seem to get along without.** ••Perhaps there are more than we fcear about. Every now and then. In a y work.

Alas for oU f|M..v"n «rfc# tad sot kept his! So great had the urgency of Boroday's position become thnt the band met at the hall on Thursday of the week after the country-club affair. Lethbridge was to get his Instructions; Talbot wished to discuss his prospect. After dinner, the night being warm, they had their coffee on the terrace. A summer storm had come up. All at once a flash threatened Saint Jude's. Huff leaped to his feet. "I've got it!" he said. "What Is It they call the big building back of the church?" None of the men knew. It was. as a matter of fact, the parish house. Lethbridge, however, knew Its function. "Fine prospect thnt!" he drawled. "That's where the Sunday school Is held, and where they*keep the plated knives and forks for the church suppers." "It's a darned fine building." said Fluff. "What would they do If It burned down?" They were too unfamiliar with church affairs to hazard a guess. Elinor, who had been sitting silent, suddenly voiced an objection to Buffs unspoken plan. "There must be some other way." she said. "The children—they have sewing classes and entertainments for the children there. It's the parish house." "If lightning struck the parish house tonight—" Huff said quite eagerly. "This Is Thursday. By Sunday morning they would be taking up a whacking big collection to rebuild It" The Idea had taken hold of his Imagination. Even the suggestion that a large part of the offertory might be In checks mattered not. But Elinor was obdurate. T o n can do it some place else," she said. "Not here. They struggled very hard to build the church and they need money now. Mr. Ward told me—** Huff turned on her jealously. "Ward—that's the preacher chap?" "He is the assistant rector." Elinor replied with dignity. "He's been coming here, then?" "Twice. Once when father died, and once to warn me against all of you." Not that she had forgotten that few minutes in the garden, under the moon; but that bad been an accident—hardly a call. Talbot chuckled. Bat Hnff was thinking hard. Elinor had been different lately, a Httle softer. Ward represented all that the men Elinor knew were not—<aw to their violence*.order to their disorder. There was almost a snarl in his voice. "He*d better stay down In his valley with his old women." he said. "and leave you alone. You don't need him." *Tm nnt so sure of that." Elinor replied quietly, and left him staring. . . . Huff burned the parish house the next night He did it himself, without the assistance of the hand. Into it he put not only the devilish Ingenuity of long experience, but his new hatred of Ward. Church ptuperty Is always easy of access. It was the work of fire minutes to crawl through a hi asm flit window uutl of half an hour to make his preparations. He looked at his watch when he hud finished. It was just midnight. In two hours, or before the fire began, he would be back in the city, establishing his alibi. The Are-whistles In the village wakened Elinor at something after three o'clock. All of her room was filled with the red glare of the burnlug parish house. Old Uenriette knocked at her door. "The church is burning down in the valley," she culled. "It's a grand sight." Elinor was throwing on her clothing. She must see Ward. She would sell her pearls. She would build a new parish house. She said this over and over to herself as she struggled down the hill. A new parish house, better than the old, with plenty of room for the children to play Inl At least It was night and the children safe in their heds; thank God for that! She was too disturbed to notice that she had thanked the God In whom she did not believe. The fire had gained too much head- I way to be checked. All the efforts of | the volunteer department and the small I engine were directed toward saving the church. For a time It seemed as If Saint Jude's must go. Elinor watched the destruction. It seemed as though a band had fastened Itself around her chest Then she saw Ward, He was on the ridge-pole of the church roof with a hatchet The ridgepole was burning slowly. She could see him chopping. From that time she never took her eyes away from him. Other men were there. She did not see them. She saw only Ward battling on the ridge-pole. and high above on the steeple the sturdy cross of his faith. Once the men on the street helow turned the full force of the hose on him. She saw him reel, saw him recover himself by u miracle. The fire glare died into the dawn. Saint Jude's was saved. Behind it in its pnrk the charred skeleton of the parish house showed how thoroughly young Huff bad done bis work. Not until Ward had descended safely to the street did rilinor relax. Ward found her sitting In one of the chairs along the pavement, her hair still lu Its loug braid, her feet thrust into slippers, her eyes red from loug staring. The fire engine wus being dragged away. The crowd had dispersed. Ward, blackened and depressed, was surveying the ruins with a heavy heart. He turned and saw the girl. Just at first he was not sure of her. He was always seeing her, mentally. Then he went toward her. his hand out. "You see," he said, "what un hour may bring forth!" And then. "You reckless child, here In slippers!" "I saw you on the roof," said Elinor, barely able to articulate. "Once I thought you had fallen." "They nearly got tue. It's rather sad. isn't it?" He stood, bareheaded lu the cool dawn, and surveyed the ruin. People meet great crises simply. She tried to find some word of sympathy to say. but what was there, poor child? She knew the true Inwardness of that disastrous night. So. with pathetic eyes, she turned away. "I'll go home now," she said. "I saw the glare—I- Quite suddenly her dps trembled. -1 should like to help vou with the new building." "Fine!" said Ward heartily. "We'll get to that before long." "If you had fallen—" Re was not listening. It came to her then how far apart they were. To her his falling would have been an end of all things; to him, it would have meant the beginning of a useful eternity. "If you wait a little. I'll run around and get my enr and rake you up." She sat down again, obediently. She was glad to be with him n little longer. Until recently, the work of the band had always seemed a vague abstraction. Now one of iis results lay before her. And there were other things fresh in her mind—old Hilary, dead of his revolt against law. and lying in state before an altar erected to a God he had not recognizid. And Ward, watching her windows t nd thinking her the embodiment of wl.nt a woman should be. Over her bitterness rose a hot wave of anger against Walter Huff. She had forbidden this thing and he had done it. NOTICE TO SICK WOMEN Positive Proof That Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Retteres Suffering.

Most men can at least declare there were four walls around them when they were | born Into the world, but even this poor Lincoln hardly could boast. General Grant is known in history, of course, as the commander-ln-chief of the Northern armies in the Civil war and eventually as president of the United States, but it may not be equally widely known that.

Prices in France [f^oDULued from iirst page] whiter and better and served fresh. Wine, next to bread, is essential a t the French table, and here one finds u sharp advance in cost. Before the war a bottle of fair vin ordinaire, either red or white, could be bought for t>0 centimes, or 12 cents. Today the same wine will cost ut least one franc, probably 1.25 and possibly 1.50, and a deposit must be left on all bottles because" there is a great shortage with bottle manufacturers working almost entirely for the army. And after one has paid five sous deposit on the bottle and returns it he usually receives only three sous back, the wine merchant explaining there is a charge of two sous for rental of the bottle. The better the wine the greater the increase in price, especially if it comes from Champagne or any other section in the zone of the armies where there are difficulties to the industry. Good dry champagne that cost 12 francs before the war now commands 18 or 20 francs, and the sweeter varieties are only a franc or so cheaper. Meat Price Doubled. Meat has doubled in'nearly every case, and in the exceptions it has increased mure than 100 per Cent. Pork takes the lead, a small chop often costing as much as 1 franc 50 centimes, nearly 30 cents. Sliced ham and bacon are marked at prohibitive prices, but then few French people eat them. Veal and Iamb are the favorite French meats, and they have both doubled in price. A roast of veal will cost from three to three and a half francs a kilo—two pounds and a quarter. Beef has soared like an airplane, costing four, five, and even six francs a kilo, and good quality is hard to find, even at that fabulous sum. Horse meat, which is rarely <-ttten even in the poorer districts, has advanced 20 per cent to two francs nnd a half a kilo. The usual sausages, pates, and other concoctions made from meat fragments are double the old marks on an average. Rabbits—always a French s t a p l e - have advanced 50 per cent, and chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys are double. A three-pound roasting chicken— broiling is unknown here—will cost 15 to 18 francs. Eggs, strictly fresh, cost 6 to 8 sous apiece, and since there is no cold storage in France the cheaper grades are likely to be strong and cost 4 or 5 <«ous each. Fish has advanced in price and achieved a two-day-a-week popularit;-, because on Mondays and Tuesdays i:c meat can '•*> served in restaurants, a/1 all liu; ' i ; ^hon>; are closed. t'hec - i c advanced vharply due to ' li .<>] ' ' ^ of milk, and the wonder! ul "pel if Suisse,'' which was 3 sous before the war, is 6 or 8 sous today. Brie, Ouuembert and other selected cheeses have doubled. Milk is up to 9, 10 and 11 sous a litre, but it is a heavier, creamier milk than one usually finds in New York dairies. Potatoes are sold by weight, and have doubled and trebled in price, fetching 12 to 18 sous a kilo at this time, although when the bulk of the new crop is in it »411 probably be reduced. Beans in all their varieties vie with potatoes as the popular vegetable, and Soissons, green beans, string beans, white beans and lima beans are hard to get and have advanced 30 to 40 per cent. Fresh tomatoes can be purchased from hucksters on the street at 12 cents a pound, but usually cost a franc—20 cents—in shops. Artichokes can be bought at 40 to 50 centimes apiece, but usually range around a franc. Salad, which before the war was so cheap, is now an expensive article. Lettuce enough for two or three persons could be bought for a couple of sous in 1914; today it will cost 8 or 10 sous. Romaine is also very high. Green peas have not advanced as sharply ns the other vegetables, but the demand is limited. Cheap and medium priced clothing for both men and women fcas advanced steadily in price during the last three years, with shoes showing the most pronounced increase, due to the leather shortage because of the army's demands. Ordinary high shoes for men which cost 22 francs before the war are now marked a t 30 and 88 francs. •--* * - •' ^ - Women's shoes, too, h a r e advanced as sharply. Good socks and stockings a r e almost impossible to find in Paris today. Contort ere* of the Rue de la Pats of world-wide reputation have not advanced prices much for robes, dresses and tailored suits, been a certain increase, but even be-' fore the war these "creations" were listed RO high that the artists who sell thera lock the nerve to boost the price higher. Due to High Wags*. Silk underwear, night gowns and boudoir robes have advanced sharply, as before the war these articles could be bought in Paris much cheaper than in New York. Today, owing to the increased wages paid to t h e girls who do the handwork, and -because of the advanced quotation for raw silk, prices are up a third. Women's tailored suits a r e also up, and it is a pretty poor garment that can be bought for less than 200 francs ($40) ready made. The Increased price for wool is given as the reason for this sharp advance, although the stringency in the dye market Is another cause. Mep's suits are 150 francs and up for anything worth having, whereas even a year ago a three-piece outfit could be purchased for 120 francs. Men's tailors are bending all their energies to making uniforms and their cutters have almost forgotten how to make civilian clothes. Before the war a good suit of clothes for a man could be picked up for 85 to 95 francs. Increased cost of gasoline and tires has caused a 25 per cent advance In taxicab rates. But the increase in tips is where the big advance has come. No chauffeur Is satisfied with 10 or 15 per cent of the amount registered. He won't accept less than a 50 centime piece, even for a short ride which registers say, 1 franc 25 centimes. Usually he expects the change out of 2 francs 75 centimes for such a 'haul. Horse cabs cost as much us automobiles, and the horses are so decrepit that one only rides in them for amusement, not really to get anywhere. Tobacco prices have been advanced BUT SHE IS NOT CHINESE Her clothes are Chinese—there is no mistake about that—and the pose is purely Oriental, but yet this girl sitting cross-legged on the table isn't Chinese at nil.

One of the peculiarities to be noticed i in connection with the twining of plants is the fact that with very few exceptions all the individuals of one species always twine in the same direction. Most plants twine in the opposite course to the movement of the sun or the hands of a watch. Such twiners are the morning glory, wistaria, wax plant, trumpet creeper and many others. Among those which twine in the opposite direction the hop and wild bindweed, or climbing polygonum, are familiar examples. South Iosco Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Whitehead and F.

The 40 per cent of the national army quota that is now arriving at Camp Custer probably will not recieve uniforms for a week or more as the work examining and mustering seems to be a long drawn out ^proceeding. No uniforms weatever will be given out until a man has finally passed the physical test and his name has been inscribed on the muster roll it was announced yesterday. A mistake that had a laughable sequence in some instances was made when the first arrivals came and soaae wer* given uniforms before jned<~ ited by a State inspector, under the teal examinations. A Bomber of these men failed to passand were comeqoantry turned back into civilian Mfe without gaining fall status in military life. Then it was discovered that these yeang men had thrown away their civilian clothing. As it is against the military regulations for one who is not in service to wear service uniforms, the officers debated over the matter at length but couldn't see how they could take the military clothing if a man didnot have anything else to wear. They decided that the only course was to send the men home in their uniforms and instruct them to return the uniforms as soon as possible. -Marshall News. The last legislature of Michigan passed an educational act by which all high schools must be inspected by the State Board of Education if they wish to collect tuition of non-resident students. This act was passed because of the pressure exerted by high schools on the legislature to raise the price of tuition to $26 a jear, claiming that $20 was too small a sum to pay for instruction offered. The committee of the house in looking into tha matter found that $20 a year was too small an amount in most cases but too large an amount in others. In order to make a raise in tuition justifiable the committee recommended that all inferior schools must raise their standard of equipment and instruction to meet the demands of secondary education.

Some of the requirements to be met with are, properly qualified and suffi. cient number of high school teachers; the moral tone of the community such as to insure the proper conditions for the location of a school; spirit of work and scholarship shown by the student body must be of superior quality; proper and sufficient apparatus furnished to demonstrate the various sciences taught; spacious library with sufficieut books to meet all reference work in the various subjects offered; course of study must be modern in all respects; sanitary conditions of buildings and grounds must be good. If a school faite to meet these standards they cannot collect any tuition from non-resident students, but if they do ihey can collect $25 a year from outside districts for each student who attends high school.

JACKSON CITY IS PLACED UNDER BAN ENLISTED MEN AT CAMP CUSTER ARE OROEREO TO KEEP AWAY FROM W E T TOWN. CLASS TRAINING (S STARTED More Advanced Men Are Being Qiven Special Instructioni — Lower Classes Follow Routine. La nam* Jackson has been placed under the bi.n of the authorities of Camp Custer. Balis ted men are forbidden to visit the town by an order of Gen. Dickman, though special passes for "exceptional cases" will be granted "to reliable men." No reason for the barring of men from Jackson is given, but it is understood that the city is undesirable because it has saloons. The state vice committee has also indicated Jackson ia a bad place for soldiers. The text of the order follows: "Organization commanders will publish an order forbidding enlisted men of their commands from visiting the town of Jackson, Mich., without permission, u.nd all men apprehended in Jackson by the military police or who are v> known to have been there in viola- \Jon of orders will be promptly •'brought to trial. Permission to en- X listed men to visit Jackson will be Custer Expects Negro Troops Soon. It is understood that the next increment of drafted men going to Camp Custer will include enough Negroes to form one regiment and an overflow. Some 3.000 colored boys are expected from Wisconsin and Michigan and if enough of them are left after the examinations to form the neuclus for a second regiment, Negro selects from one or two other states may be brought in to fill out the ranks Negro troops will be "comman'ed by Colonel Frye, but will be officered by commissioned men of their own color who will come from the Des Moines training camp. Battle Creek's Negro population plans to look after the selected Negroes as nicely as the war recreation board is looking after the white selects. Three Negro lodges, Masonic, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, will have a joint meeting as soon as they are told when to look for the boys and will make elaborate plans for entertaining tnem. —J I i . The Real Test of Patriotism ^ granted only in exceptional cases, reliable men for business reasons, which cases written losses will given." to in be Start Training In Classes. Separation of the sheep from the t;oats has begun at Camp Custer. The 338th infantry has started to train the men by classes this week. They have been split for training purposes into three classes: A, or advanced; D, good, and C, the backward men. For the class' A men there are ihree hours of special Instruction divided between early morning and afternoon. Class B follows the schedule as issued by the war department, while class C will be held to the school of the squad until it knows them. The two lower classes will be advanced gradually. For the class A men the most interesting work is the special bombing ;md bayonet instruction. There will also bo signal classes, revetting classes, where the men are shown the methods of supporting the -ides of the trenches to keep them from caving in. Except for the three hours' work, fhe men follow the regular schedule. This does not provide for anything startling. Four hours of next week will be allotted to night work, and two hours to trench construction, but much of 'X is merely the repetition of work gone over under the last two weeks' schedule. Custer Men W i l l Be Made Officers. New ambition and hope for officers' rank has been aroused in the breast* of Camp Custer soldiers. This was caused by definite announcement by the war department of officers' training camps to train private soldiers for commissions. The schools will be opened Jan. 15. One will be opened in each division of the regular army, the National Guard and the draft army. This means that a school will be located at Camp Custer, or that one will be opened nearby for Camp Custer men. Any private between 21 and 40, a member of the regular army, the draft army or the Nat: cnil Guard, will oa eligible for the officers' schools. In addition, about ^,000 college men will be receivrd. Camp Cutter will be entitled to send about 1.7 per cent of her enrollment, or 700 men, to the officers' school. This will be only the beginning of Camp Custer's contribution to the officers of the land forces. When the army of 3.000,000 Is finally trained it must have 150,000 officers. Camp Custer's quota wi.l be upwards ot 5,000. Of course, many contingents will have come and gone m Camp Custer before the army of 3,000,000 is afoot, ~.nd her 5,000 officers havr tir d their ^cld-and-black hat cords. But already a definite chance of nonors Is offered the national army men. Seniority Rule Done Away W i t h . Promotion by senioiity is done away with in the Michigan National Guard. While it is in the federal s rvice promotions are to be made because of 'fitnese and capacity" only. This news, in a war department bulletin just pub'ished at Camp Mc Arthur, Waco, Texas, is soothing to several 51st officers, who, because of the breaking up of the regiment, lost their seniority. Furthermore, it sets at rest the rumor that theie would be no promotion of g-iard officers above the rank of captain. The new regulations provide for all officers up to colonel. While the officer* of the oil 31st oar© sealed down In th* 125th and 126th and are dsvoting their entire attention to learning and teaching the new mfitary game, some of the men have not so adapted themselves, espn. dally those of the comoanles that were split up. Requests for transfers Work On Heating Plants Rushed. Work on the heating plants at Camp Custer is being rushed but final completion is not expected till November 1st. All heating pipes which run from building to building are carried on poles, high in the air. It was necessary to adopt this course, in order to complete the installation befoic winter sets in. A vast amount of coal will be necessary to teed the boiievs. owing to the wastage of heat, but. thU was the lesser of the two evils, and the plan was chosen by the engineers for that reason. In the meantime most of the barracks, during the cold spell, have been uncomfortably cold, During the day the men did not suffer. The evening hours following their return to their barracks, however, were the ones when they felt the chill. The result was that the Y. M. C. A. building?, which are heated, enjoyed more than their usual patronage. Five hundred stove?, which had been ordered in anticipation of a cold snap, are being installed. The stoves are wood-burning sheet-iron affairs, capable of producing a large volume of heat. There is more than enough fuel to keep them all going until the steam plants are in operation. Sewage Disposal Plants at Custer. KalamazoD. Galesburg, Augusta and other towns lying below Battle Creek on the Kalamazoo river, which have been wondering what effect Camp Custer's sewage might have on their health, can now breathe easier, for the war department has qrdered immediate construction of two sewage disnoaal plants, and one of them is already under way, at the foot of the famous hill over which each of the 40.000 se- '_. \ m v " " 7"" lected men of the Eighty-fifth division kro coming In numbers, as comrades • were separated by the breaking up of j a * ° P a s s Each plant is a cement structure 100 the companies.

After being chemically treated the liquid will eventually pass into the Kalamazoo river. It will cost the govlittle Liberty Loan campaign.

NEW TAX RETURNS MUST BE MADE K M GOVERNMENT DEMANDS PROMPT FILING OF SCHEDULE8 BY A L L CONCERNED. NEARLY EVERYBODY AFFECTED Severe Penalties Are Provided For Failure of Any Person or Firm to Make Returns Required. Washington—Notice to the public to make its tax returns to the government under the new war revenue law has been issued by Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper in an interpretive statement of the law's operation. Warning was given that in no case would the government take the initiative in getting in returns, although all returns would be verified, and that everybody concerned should communicate promptly with the nearest revenue office. Penalties to Be Enforced. Persons failing to make returns, Mr Roper announced, will be regarded as tax slackers and penalties will be enforced against them. As outlined in the statement, the following persons are affected, and must make returns to the government: "All Individuals receiving incomes of inor6 than $1,000 a year. "All corporations, joint stock companies and associations. "All distillers, rectifiers, wholesalers and retailers, holders of distilled spirits intended for sale or to be used for manufacturing purposes. "All dealers in fermented liquors or malt liquors, wines, cordials, liqueurs, domestic and imported. Affects Almost Everybody. "All dealers in soft drinks, tabla waters and carbonic acid gas, snuff and cigarette papers. "All carriers of freight, express or passengers and all operators of pipe lines. * "All dealers in life, marine, Inland, fire and casualty insurance. "All manufacturers and wholesale dealers in im-tor vehicles of every kind, musical .'nstruments, motion picture films, jewelry, boats, sporting goods, perfumed, cosmetics, medicinal preparations, cbewing gum and cameras. "All proprietors of amusement places, including cabarets. "All persons executing legal documents of any type. "All traders on produce or stor-ts. exchanges and boards of trade. "All importers of merchandise. "All manufacturer* or importers of playing cards." Severe penalties are provided for failure upon the part .of any person, firm or corporation tc make the correct inventories and returns required Your Liberty Bond Can Be Kept Free of Charge in State Treasury Vaults Lansing—State Treasurer Samuel Odell announced that any person who purchases a Liberty bond and wants it kept in an absolutely safe place, may send it by registered mail to the state treasurer in Lansing and the bond will be locked up in the vaults of the state treasury. Any person sending a bond to Lansing for safe keeping will be given a receipt and may take the bond out at any time. Mr. Odell believes this arrangement will be highly- satisfactory to many purchasers who do not want to go to the expense of renting a safety deposit box in a bank. * * «1 « * * * *: V • * • * SPECIAL SESSION OF COKGPSS ENDS ADJOURN* W I T H COMMENDATION AND CONGRATULATIONS OF PRESIDENT WILSON.

Is Washington—The proposal to examine for military service all men registered for the army draft and not yet called, was killed, for the present at least, when the house and senate conferees eliminated an appropriation for the purpose from the war deficiency bill. The conference report then was promptly accepted by the senate. This plan waa suggested by the proroet marshal general's office In order that every registered man might know whether he waa liable for service, and If so, the ectaal order of hit liability.

Elinor, iu a beautiful home on a hill In the suburban village of Wofflnnhain. The neighbors knew nothing about the establishment, except ihnt the faiher was quite wealthy, and the daughter, very mood looking and gentle. In reality Kingston was head of aa anarchist hand, composed of Huff. Boroday. Tulbot and Lethbridjje, that robbed the nch and jmve to the poor and oppressed.

In view of her attitude, there seemed to be nothing to do. "We'll give it up. of course," said Lethhridpe. nfter a pause. There laid never been any drinking in old Hilary's house. Only abstainers were ever taken into the hand. But it was the custom of the two older men to remain at the table over their cigars, giving Waiter and Kllnor a half-hour together.

Leaf nioiu 4M u valuable manure in many Instances, especially on heavy soils, and one of i he most Important Ingredients for. the soil used m the suoce«stul cultivation of the majority of plants. It ui/iy be used freely, particularly with the tender s e e d l i n g s and cuttings of soft wooded objects, provided it be of good ipiality and free from injurious fungoid growths. ' The pioduction of roots in young plants of this description is Induced ami ncuelei aled with more eel taint,v by plantljig in this material than hi Ihe n<e of any ot her. The qualify of leaf mold depend* very materially upon the sort of leaves composing it and In the manner ot preparation adopted. It is found from experience that the best leaves are those collected from H wood or olh'T place where the principal l i v e s are beach and bark, and where their leaves fall over a large area every year, and naturally d e e a ) slowly, until those beneath I he surface become changed Into a light amid. In many instances such leal mold cannot be obtained on account of the necessary removal of the leaves to preserve t i d i n e s s ; but on the other hand its importance and additional value over that artificially prepared Is not sufficiently recognized in many place* where quantities aught be obtained iu the woods. Leaf mold of good quality tuny be used to the extent of alnnit one-thin) In cotn]»osts for azaleas, g r e e n h o u s e rhododendron*, and many tine-rooted hard-wooded plants of this description It may also with a d v a n t a g e be incorporated along with peat in the p r e p aration of beds for nearly all plant* of i h e heath family which are grown nut of floors. :d Leaves and Grass.

Further, nothing Is better for Improving the flower beds, or for adding to soil of any description for placing around trees, shrubs or plants w h o s e roots it is desired to encourage. If leaves have to be gathered Into a heap for leaf mold, a place should be selected where they may he - p t v a d rather thinly, so a s to avoid a n y excessive beating by fermentation. T h e whole shiaihl be turned o v e r occasionally so as to expose all parts In turn to the iniluence of the w e a t h e r Mid air.

Water may be applied artificially for the purpose, hut It never has the s a m e effect as rain, and If a large heap is made, this latter cannot penetrate far into the interior. Leaves should lie collected free from sticks, if possible, as those are liable | to encoiituigc fungoid growths, which, finding a suitable medium for increasing the leaf mold, will !n due course render It useless for plan! cultivation. T h e time taken In reducing leave* to a mold or fine soil depend* greatly on the amount of turning over and <»ih er attention devoted to ihe preparation.

Harbor Beach, Mich—Five persons, including one wonnn, were drowned, ani three others were rescued in a heroic manner when the barge Athens, loadei with 3.500 tons of soft coal, broke in two and foundered in a gale and blinding hailstorm, 25 miles off Southampton, Out., in Lake Huron, at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. After circling about the wreckage of the birge for nearly two hours, and maluntj five unsuccessful attempts, Captain Frank Sinnott, commanding the tug Lucknow, which had the barge in tow, rescued three members of the barge's crew, who were in the Athens' yawl. Handicapped by darkness and storm, Captain Sinnott found it impossible to rescue the four men and woman who were lost. He kept close to the wreckage as long as possible, in fact of the danger of being rammed by the floating hull, but finally had to clear away. tho*e drowned are: M.,J. Starkey, captain, Tonawanda, N.

He asserted that the "war party" besides carrying on a campaign of "libel and character assassination" against members of congress who roted against the war, was attempting to suppressed discussion *t war issues and intimidate the people themselves by invading their homes and unlawfully throwing them Into jail. Characterizing the attacks upon him as a "general campaign of vtllitfcatJon and attempted intimidation," * L a Follette defiantly shouted. r "Neither the clamor of the mob nor /the voice of power will ever turn me by the breadth of a hair from the oorse I mark ont tor myself, guided by •vch knowledge as I can obtain tad controlled and directed by a solemn conviction of right and duty.** Whatever may be the opinion of members of the United States senate so to the recent utterances of Seantor La Follette, and in spite J t the feet that the sub-committee h u m e t e d to t**—*** those utterances is comof men unfavorable to the Whv senetor, It is anlfkely thai Le FoOette wffl be expelled from the sen- Temperance fConducied by the National Woman'* Christian Tetnyeram e Union.) "WHY K I L L THE GOOSE?" A cartoon Issued by the publicity department of the liquor trafficker* 19 entitled, "Whj Kill the Goose?" saya Prof. John A. Nichols in the Union Signal. It represents a fat goose, labelled, "Internal iteveuue." Its three eggs, ure very conspicuous, but an ax marked, "Prohibition," is in dangerous proximity to its neck. Well, there are many reasons why the goose should be killed. In the first place, the cost of feeding it is too great What would you think of a farmer that kept a flock of geese at a cost ten times greater than the amount realized from the eggs produced? If, when his attention tiad been called to the matter, he tried to defend his position by telling you how much he obtained from the sale of the eggs, and spoke of it as a profitable transaction, you would at once consider him a fit subject for some kind of mental treatment. For many years Uncle Sam has been that kind of farmer. But skillful mental treatment, in the form of scientific and economic facts, having been administered to him for some time, he is beginning to show signs of sanity, and we hope ere long this expensive and • dangerous goose will no longer find pasture on Uncle Sam's farm. PROHIBITION PROHIBITING. From The State, daily newspaper of Columbia, in dry South Carolina, comes this testimony: "For weeks the city has been thronged, especially at ulght, with workingmen, many of them white and hundreds of them negroes, but there is little or no evidence of disorder and practically none of drunkenness in the streets. "With the count.-y engaged? in war and with the nerves of the people at high tension, with money abundant, with soldiers better paid than ever before, with wages hijh and with an Immense transient population, the Columbia of 1917 presents such a contrast to the Columbia of the Spanish-American war that those who remember that time could hardly believe it to be possible if they did uot see it before their eyes. 'What the future of the whisk) traffic shall be It is not worth while to discuss, but it is the simple truth thai prohibition Is prohibiting and the old argument to the contrary, so long re lied on by the whisky donlers, is, foi the present at least, discredited. Whoever says that prohibition will not prohibit is heard with derision." POT CALLS KETTLE BLACK. The Brewer and Malter: The reason why a beer saloon is a success Is because a man can drink a large quantity of beer without getting drunk. He can stick around and talk or play cards for the greater part of an evening and go home sober. He cannot do that and drink whisky. That Is why a whisky saloon Is not a success. Midas Criterion (champion of distillers: Any man who has had any experience In drinking knows it is possible to get exactly as drunk on beer as on whisky. If we were to decide between the merits of the beer drunk and the whisky drunk, we would say candidly that the mushiest and sloppiest kind of a drunk in the world is the beer drunk. PIANO 8 A L E 8 INCREASE. According to traveling representatives of Eastern piano manufacturing eonverns who have recently been in San Francisco, says the Musical Times, piano sales in the western states that have joined the dry ranks show marked increase. T h e / report that business in Colorado, Arizona, Washington and Oregon was never better and that retailers; many of whom opposed prohibition, are now heartily in favor of the change. More pianos are being sold, ft is asserted. Initial payments are larger, collections are much better and fewer instruments are returned. IN T H E CITY OF 8EATTLE. The prohibitory law of the state of Washington went Into effect January 1,1916. Of buildings occupied the last day of 1915 by 211 saloons, ten are now occupied by drug stores, haberdasheries, women's specialty shops and the like; 56 by d f i r , candy and soft drink places; 14 by groceries and meet markets; six by confectionery stores; 19 by cafes, bakeries and the like; 20 vacant for repairs, or because building is too poor for bust new. for A GOOD RULE.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Oct. 18th, )917 No. 4 $6,000 in Gov. Bonds Has Already Been Sold Large Crowd Attends Patriotic Rally Uncle Sam Needs 10,000 Stenographers and Typewriters at Once A fine crowd turned out Moaday evening to the Patriotic Rally held at the schoolhouse here, and considerable patriotism was shown, as at the close of the meeting there were thirteen requests for bonds. Lewis Howlett of Howell was the' speaker of the evening and! gave a fine discourse, inciting those who had money not in use, to loan the same to the V- S. in her time of need. This is not asked as a donation but as a loan. The government will pay 4 per cent interest, the bonds are non assesable andj non taxable and though you might be able to get 6 jer cent interest in other places, it surely- ought to be worth the difference to be a patriotic American citizen instead of a slacker. According to Mr. Howlett, the man who has the money and will not loan it to the gov* srnment at this time is much more of a slacker than the boy who refuses to register, as he thinks, to save his life, and which is punishable by imprisonment. The man keeps his money because he is stingy and goes unpunished. The share of the Liberty Loan assessed to Putnam is $17,500. $1,000 in bonds has already been sold and the rest must be raised before Oct. 27th It was suggested by Mr. Teeple that the school buy a bond of $50, the money to be raised mostly by the pupils. He also said that bonds could be purchased at the Pinckney bank on the "dollar down and dollar a week" plan. He also requested that those in the township baying bonds would buy them at Pinckney so that Putnam Township would receive the credit. There was some talk of oeganizing to raise the remaining $11,500, but was not thought necesaary by Supervisor Reason. The following program was rendered: Soldier's Chorus—High School Music—High School Orchestra Song—Primary Room Song—Intermediate Room Address—Mr. Lewis Howlett Solo—Delores Richardson Recitation—Marintha Docking Solo—Madeleine Bowman Michigan Chorous—High School Short Talks—G.

The manufacturers uad shops have prepared for a rush seasou. It is their own expression that they are actually scrambling for a supply to meet the demand. The French gowns are here. New American gowns are not only exploited, but tremendously admired anA approved. The effects of those who have taken the French silhouette and built gowns in their own workrooms, made of American materials, should be commended in an entire chapter. Some of the best houses iu this country have tried out experienced designers uud colorlsts in producing several hundred go^ns that are first cousins to the French in that they express the adopted Paris lines. Each of the designers gives full tribute to the fact that Paris has laid down the lafws for the season; but every designer boasts with honest pride that the clothes are the product of American study and workmanship. In every case, the houses that showed these American gowns called upon their experienced French workers to produce them, and the only ones that were .successful were the gowns that had been given into the hands of those who had studied the Paris methods with reverence and earnestness. The result was that the clientele of these houses saw extraordinarily good drapery, the combination of alluring colors and an excellence in tailored suits that we are led to believe is purely American. The Colors That Prevail. The silhouette has been established. Every woman now knows that her .skirt is to be narrow ;md her coat iong or short, provided it dines to the figure. She knows that top coats are as important as frocks and that ' some of the best tailors offer wily sport suits and top coats to wear over thin one-piece gowns. She also knows that soft materials take precedence over stiff ones; but she has not exactly classified the various colors, fabrics and accessories that she must accept or avoid. These are vastly important matters to the average shopper. True, there is a class of woiarn who go to expensive houses that handle only a few of the most fashionable pieces of apparel and offer nothing that can lead one into the wrong path ; but this ', class remains an exclusive one, and what they do or do not do is not always a guide to the mass of women who must fight out the battle of ' clothes in their own way and to whom [ victory Is vital. i Take colors. Who does not feel | perplexed and confused on entering a shop where humlfcds of colors are dashed upon the vision and offered as the latest thing? o n o feels that n gigantic kaleidoscope has been run before the eyes. The brain refuses and not mauy are available for the woman who has not many social opportunities to display a variety of clothes. To begin at the beginning of the color scheme: Midnight blue holds its own. Black Is in demand by those who want to dress well In the afternoon and evening, but it does not hold a high place for street suits or frocks. Dark Green Rivals Blue. Dark green Is a serious rival to dark blue, and the French dressmakers who exploited it last year are now reaping a reward because the public is accepting It. Know yourself well, however, before touching any tone of green. If you're picturesque, you can wear it in any one of the shades that are variously known as jade, Egyptian and lettuce. The woman who can wear jade clothes and jewelry has a successful season before her, for many of the best materials are woven In this alluring but difficult tone, and the Ori- WnLssV J|k OKP!lr^ *|j jj^^^Hnflnn^B9BsnsM\ •&1 >*-/ / The material In this evening gown Is heavy brocaded satin, the odd bodice in dark blue with t girdle of pale gold dotted with Jet bead*. Skirt of pale fold with flower* In blue, gold and to work. The judgment la suspended. O M foes oat of the shop with a resttag that it U futile to try to bay dotbee and with a dealre to let the seaeoe anoa. It it this discouragement that ears of the women who s a t to net their new apparel as ao folded by the fact that •re raafiy hi This Helmet of Navarre is made of tete de negre velvet, with visor faced with white satin. It is trimmed with two large silver buckles. ental shops are filled with bits of fine Jad;1 made into earrings, hair combs and necklaces. There are fans of peacock feathers with jade sticks and also buckles of the Chinese quartz for slippers. Soft £old-tissue gowns are embroidered with jade beads, in the Byzantine fashion. Ked flickers through the color scheme or bursts upon the vision like the flame from the artillery at the front. It is against the accepted psychology that the colors of war should be exploited while war is on. It is better to be sane than foolish when one approaches the subject of red In clothes. The scarlet danger sign should be put over all the counters where red fabrics are placed, and it should be worn by the mannequin who parades in a red gown. It Is the color of conflict; It Is not the color of peace. The woman who can wear it well is thrice blessed, sartorially speaking, and she Is apart from her. neighbors, because she Is a rare type. None of this applies to dark red. No danger sign is needed against the rich wine surface that brings out what is best in a woman's complexion and eyes. These well-known burgundy shades are offered. They come in duvetyn, serge, satin, velvet and and Rodier's weave of the so-called Bo*- llvia cloth, which the American weavers are imitating In a successful way. An Epidemlo of Gray. The world has gone on for a century or two feeling that gray is the tone of sadness and that its Quakerish ugliness must be avoided. It has been a difficult color for decades. Women have adopted it only when the silver sheen on its surface made it possible. This season, however, ail doubts are dispersed by the superior tones which the dyers have imparted to the various fabrics grouped under the elastic name of gray. There is moonlight gray, which may spell peace, but it is in close proximity to artillery gray, which stands) for death. There is the gray of granite and the gray of London smoke. There is the gray of a New England sea mist, and there is the tone that one gets from the glitter of cat stoaL Those grays are not used alone this season. They are combined with horizon and Ohtnaas bine, with jade and with tnceadU red. M. C. FLYER HITS AUTO; KILLS SEVEN MACHINE DRIVEN DIRECTLY IN PATH OF TRAIN—DRIVER WAS WARNED. Don't Neglect Kidneys Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Prescription, Overcomes Kidney Trouble OCCUPANTS ALL DETROIT PEOPLE Approach to Crossing is Clear On Both Sides—Similar Accident Occurcd Last Thursday. *• 0 .Mrs Mrs. Mary Detroit—Seven Detroit persons were killed Sunday afternoon when an automobile they were driving was struck by a Michigan Central passenger train at Hartsig crossing, 11 miles north of Detroit. The dead are: Joseph J. Pohl, 40 years old; Joseph J. Pohl, 36 years old; George Harvey, 34 years old; Harvey, 1 year old, and Thomas Harvey, 3 years old, children of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey. Ralph Pohl, 3 years old, and Helen Pohl, 5 years old, children of Mrs. Pohl. The party, which had left Detroit in the afternoon to purchase poultry, was returning to the city, and approached the crossing from the east. The car was driven by Mr. Pohl. Occupants of another automobile preceding the Pohl car crossed the tracks, and according to Charles Van Dam, a farmer lad who witnessed the tragedy, warned Mr. Pohl of the approaching train. The automobile continued, however, at about 20 miles an hour, it is said, and ran directly into the path of the flyer. Supervisor Hartsig, whose home ia near the crossing, says that the side curtains of the machine were attachd. Hr saw the crash and rushed to the scene. Mr. Hartsig believed one of the women was alive and rushed back to the house for water. On returning he found her dead. Three of the children were taken from the pilot of the engine. They died before reaching Mt. Clemens. Other bodies were picked up 10 to 12 rods below the crossing. The crossing which is two miles soufh of Warren village in Macomb county, has a clear approach from either side. At the same crossing where the fatal collision occurred Sunday, a truck from Rosebud Creamery company was struck by a freight train last Thursday. Two men were seriously hurt at that time. It ia now conceded by physicians that the kidneys bhuuld have more attention aa they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by filtering the blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such a* lame back, annoying- bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brickdust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound' that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's SwLmp- Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in private practice and it is pure to benefit you. Get a bottle from your druggist. However, if you wish first to test thin great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure end mention this paper. Adv.

CRAMPTON ASKS COAL FOR STATE Wires Washington That Michigan Must Have Immediate Relief. Lapeer—Failure of the government ) to fix a price for Michigan produced coal is blamed by Rep. Crampton for the high prices at the mines in this Btate in a telegram he sent to Harry A. Garfield, national fuel admiistrator at Washington, in an effort to relieve the shortage here. "Industries are threatened and in many homes in my district there is actual suffering because of the lack of fuel," a part of the telegram reads: "Lapeer is typical of many small cities in Michigan; not a pound of coal of any kind is available here for sale and numerous homes are without fuel of any kind. Michigan operators are taking advantage of the necessity and demand extortionate prices for their coal, $5.75 at the mine being a recent quotation." Rep. Crampton suggested that if factional political fights is holding up the appointment of fuel administrator for Michigan, factional politics should be placed on the scrap heap. He stated no section of the country is in more dire need for fuel than this. POLAND'S FLAG TO FLY IN FRANCE Poles From All Parts of World Asked to Join Colors.

"Not much wrong- with him, I should say," laughed the doctor, pinching his red cheeks. "It's about his appetite, doctor," said the boy's aunt in a low tone.

"I want you to give me something to make his appetite less. He'll eat me out of house afore his month's holiday Is up if his appetite ain't cut -down !" Money Talks. "Reginald Grabcoin asked me to marry him last night," said Miss Gadder. "I've never heard a more eloquent proposal in my life." "Did he use flowery language?" "Oh, no.

COLLECTING FLOWER SEEDS It Is desirable to save one's seeds, not only as a matter of economy, bat as a means of Improving the variety. In a collection of annual plants, all from the same stock of seed, there will be considerable variety presented. Some may vary from the general stock In the size or color of the flower and others in the habit of the plant. These peculiarities are nof~certaln to be reproduced, but the probability is that some of the seeds from such plants will show them ; and by following a course of selection one can in a few years establish a variety that will come constantly true from seed. It has been found in practice that though a peculiarity may not show itself very strongly the first year, it will manifest itself the next year if the grower perseveres. It is well to mark those plants, the seeds of which are to be saved, while the plants are in full bloom, and not trust to memory. In a bed of plants from which seeds are to be saved, promiscuously, nnd when it is desirable to have all one color, those of a different shade from the required, must be pulled out as soon as they show themselves. Some seed pods open with a jerk as soon as ripe and scatter the contents for a distance. Some open by a hole or crack, and us the plant Is swayed by the wind the seeds are gradually sifted nut. In oilier cases there Is no provision for the scattering of the seeds, but the fruit of seed vessels must d*cay before they are liberated. It is not necessary to wait until seeds are dead ripe before collecting them. A little experience teaches one to know the point at which it is safe to gather. Those seed vessels which in breaking scatter the seed, should be gathered just before they open, and be allowed to pop under some convenient cover. As soon as the seeds are gathered, put a label with them, and when they are thoroughly dry, clean and store them away. The manner of cleaning seed Is va« ried. according to circumstances, sifting, gently winnowing, rubbing between the hands being resorted to according to the kind of seed. A series of small sizes of mesh will accomplish 'roost of the work. these to the bottom. Nymphae is a hardy lily and the culture of it is not a problem which presents grave difficulties. Before the baskets have rotted away the plants will have attached themselves to the bottom of the pond. Where there is a rich, muddy bottom to the pond a piece of pipe is fastened to a root and cast In where the water Is between 20 Inches and two feet deep. While lilies thrive In cement tanks which have a foot of soil nnd the remainder for water, the natural element for them Is the mud of ponds and lakes. Lilies have certain enemies that have to be reckoned with. Rats, pwans and aquatic birds often pull them to pieces. If you are planning a water garden as a means of raising lilies, select a place open to the sun renewed by a small inflow and protected from rough winds by a protection of shrubs or small trees. WATER LILFES By L. M. B E N N I N G T O N . No more interesting adjunct to a country estate from a pictorial standpoint can be imagined than a pond of water lilies. So far as the planting goes, an easy method is to put the plants with soil in some shallow baskets and sink Plant Iris in beds in the open as soon as the bulbs are received in the autumn. Protect the beds during the winter months and early In April cover them with glass so as to have the flowers ready for cutting In May. TRY CYCLAMEN Among winter-flowering plants there is nothing more beautiful than the bulboua greenhouse plant, the cyclamen. They come highly recommended for house culture, as they thrive well and bloom profusely in the average temperature of the living room. Their quaintly formed flowers and oddly marked foliage, and their variety of shades and wealth of coloring mnKe them an agreeable adjunct to the list of house plants.

NEXT DRAFT CALL DUE ABOUT NOV. 1 A U T H O R I T I E S B E L I E V E IT W I L L T A K E U N T I L T H E N TO GET Q U A R T E R S R E A D Y . WOOL UNIFORMS HAVE ARRIVED Enough W i n t e r Clothing Now On Hand to Equip Entire 36,000 Quota Assigned to Camp Custer. Lansing. Michigan's third Increment of selected men will not be ordered to report at Camp Custer before November 1, in the opinion of military -authorities who are making the arrival of new men contingent on the completion of b a r r a c k s and the installation of heating plants. The naming of the exact date lies with Major Dickman, but as previously announced, he will not say the word until he has every assurance that the men will be comfortably housed. The buildings are all well under way, but a number of heating plants remain to be installed. The quartermaster's d e p a r t m e n t is prepared to equip the men as soon as they arrive. Woolen U n i f o r m s For All At Custer. There are enough uniforms—woolen trousers and blouses, overcoats, hats, shoes and all at Camp Custer now to equip the entire 36,000 men assigned to this cantonment, and there are enough woolen blankets to give each man of the 36.000 three and still h a r e some left over. This news, which will be of considerable interest to the 19,000 young men -from Michigan and Wisconsin who will come to Battle Creek soon with the third and fourth i n c r e m e n t s of selects, was given out by Captain M. M. Garrett, head of the quartermaster's d e p a r t m e n t in response to inquiries. Many of the selects are wearing khaki trousers and woolen blouses, but it is not because woolen trousers are not on hand. The weather does not necessitate heavier trousers, the quart e r m a s t e r s believe, and since blouses outwear pants in military life, the plan of withholding woolen trousers is one strictly of conservation. Recently 18,000 comforters were distributed, in addition to the blankets. Though these are not "regulation," there is no disposition to take them from the selected soldiers, even in the b a r r a c k s that are now strain heated. Selecting Selects at Custer. They are, now selecting the selects at Camp Custer. Men found especially equipped for special duty are being assigned to places where the full m e a s u r e of their ability may be utilized. In the sanitary train, for example several men were found who have had training in engineering. In one of the engineer regiments was a man who had had several years of hospital work. Through the readjustments, the engineers land with the engineers, the hospital men with the hospital units. Last of State Troops Gone. W i t h o u t ceremony and with less than 100 people to'bid them God speed, the h e a d q u a r t e r s company of the Thirty- third Michigan infantry left for Camp MacArthur, Waco, Tex., last week. This company was t h e last of rhe Michigan troops to leave foi the s o u t h e r n training camp. The regimental headquarters have been at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, since early last s-prirg, when the troops returned from the Mexican border. The other two stMe regiments were immediately mustered out but the T h i r t y third has been ioing guard duty about thf >fate. One nattalion ha<- puarded the Camp Custer cantonment r*rom the first. This work is now being done by the new draft soldiers. Iron Discipline Urged. Warning officers of the Thirty-second division now in training at Waco, Texas, that the time had come when the personnel of the division gradually must be brought to a state of hard dis ciplme, Captain Allan L. B n g g s , aide de camp, who has seen hghting on the French front, pointed out that once a man is trained in the mechanical fun damentals of modern warfare the do in inating idea that will save him in hit hour of trial is the spirit put into him by his commanders. "Coddling in the army must cease," he said, in a speeach to the officers "In a serious emergency, the company trained on the weedle principle blows up like a toy balloon. "The compelling idea that will save a man when he needs to be saved must be given him by his company comman der. The soldier must have a leader for his soul as well as for his body What his thoughts are about courage patriotism, fidelity, cheerfulness under great suffering, cannot be left tc chance. Stray standards picked up at random must be replaced by the stand ards of an efficient morale. " T h e r e must be a true estimate ol the relative value of the nobler quali ties of manhood, and these, by speech and example, must be inculcated intc the soldier by the man who carries his life in his hands." Draft Men to Go South. It is estimated about 5,000 Michigan and Wisconsin men who had expected t o go to Camp Custer will go sou'h I n s t e a d . Camp Pike, near Little Rnck, Ark., will be their training ground T h e c a n t o n m e n t plans of the war d e p a r t m e n t have been changed by the £TS*viu«? of some .v.. ti«>: al Army men to fill up the Nation i Guard units T h e a r r a n g e m e n t s for the negro t -oops Also h a v e rev|U*re:i somfi r e - a r r a n t men* of the cantonment?. Though a b o u t 5 000 Michigan and Wisconsin men *re o ao to C a m ) T.ke, it is not thought probable tb, ccntingent will be mad up from reen BOW in training By this arrangement Camp Custer's guests this y**r should bo 3l,ooo, instead of the M«000 tkat was first expected. Lies About Custer Laid to W o r k m e n . Attention of camp officials has been called to reports circulated that insanitary conditions exist in Camp Custer, that food has spoiled because of lack of ice, and that soldiers are underfed and overworked. The story was characterized as untrue in every respect and was laid a: the door of some workman, probably disgruntled at his discharge. "This camp is open for inspection by the public in its every deartment," said one of the high officials. "Thousands of people from all sections of the state visit the camp weekly and they have been and still are at liberty to investigate sanitary conditions. They may go into the kitchens and watch the food cooked, they may see the j men at mess and see what they eat. and they may talk with whomsoever they wish as to the character and | quantity of the food. j " T h e r e has been no scarcity of ice to preserve perishable goods, and in | a few weeks we will be manufacturing our own ice supply. The quarters i and men a r e inspected daily for sanii tary conditions and as for the soldiers ; being overworked their own condition speaks better than anything elr.e. "Most of the men have taken on weight since they came here. t "We have been compelled to discharge a number of inferior men who were agitators and were attempting to stir up trouble with satisfied workmen. Despite the fact that the wages paid here are the high' st in the state, there were ?ome so unpatriotic as to a t t e m p t to take advantage of the rush to f nrce them out of reason. Probably the author of the false reports is one of this class." CAMP CUSTER NOTES On company bulletin boards are notices from Washington asking that all food wastage be stopped. t Four tons of clothing discharged by incoming selected men will be sent to Belgium. Next of furnishing soldiers tobacco, letters from relatives, friends or even those who wish to be friends, are the most welcome gifts. Some of t h e prisoners In the guard house objected to taking a bath. They wer? held under a cold sbower and scrubbed with a none too »oft brush.

ALL TRAINING CAMPS AFFECTED Similar Orders Sent to Every Camp — P a r t W i l l F i l l Guard Ranks. Others Form New Divisions. " N e r v e s " B r i n g Men Discharges. Grim precautions are taken daily in Camp Custer to save America from one of wa's worst afflictions. This \ infliction is the increase in insanity , through shell-shocks and the destruction of mental equilibrium. England has been the chief sufferer among the allied nations in the number of those driven mad by battle. One of the stern sad warnings given Am erica by experience of her allies and j of Germany was the warning not to enlist the "mentally unstable." That is one reason why men have been sent home from Camp Custer from time to time. They are not all unsound physically And they are not unsound mentally. ' But they are "mentally unstable." They have shown after days of observation that they are not resilient ' enough for the strain and shock of war. Under war's pressure their minds would break. T h e r e are not many of these men but there are enough to show how the government surgeons are considering every contingency, and applying every sad lesson taught by the war. Sometimes the mental instability ' shows itself the first day. In fact, a few of the men sent to Custer were judged as actual mental defectives. But quite often, among men who are not defective, it takes several days for the lack of poise to reveal itself.

An additional 3,000 men from Camp Custer will go to Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark., to form part of the new Rainbow National army division recruited from selected men of northern and western states. A complete division of troops still will be left at Camp Custer. The orders to Gen. Dickman, at Battle Creek, to transfer the troop* was issued in conjunction with orders t o c o m m a n d a n t s of all of the 32 a r m y camps making similar shifts, the main purpose of the general tranpfer is to ' iv.nke room for training some of t h e Negro troops of the south in northern camps. The orders provide for a transfer of 78,500 men from the various cantonments. None of the Negroes will go to Battle Creek under present plans. Of the troons transferred from Battle Creek to Waco, 1,625 will be taken from the Michigan contingent and 1,- ?,!') from W i s c o n s i n It is presumed that the troops shifted to Little Rock will be divided similarly. 800,000 BUSHELS OF GRAIN BURN Intended f o r Shipment to A l l i e s — I n - cendiarism Suspected.

STATE OPENS FISH MARKET Game Commissioner Tries Out New Plan A t Lansing, Lansing—The first fish market to be conducted by the state in order to help out the high cost of living is being opened in Lansing this week under the auspices of the game commissioner, John Balrd. He announced several days ago that he had contracted with fishermen near Grindstone City on Lake Huron to t r a n s p o r t trout and whiteflsh here to try the plan. The fish are to net the fishermen 10 cents a pound so that the price in Lansing should be 12 or 13 cents. If the plan works in Lansing, Mr. Baird will have the next lot sold In Flint or Grand Rapids. Since the announcement of Mr. Baird permitting fishing for trout In t h e closed season only on statement t h a t the fish should be sold in the s t a t e at about 10 cents a pound, he h a s heard from many 'fishermen who want to fish under such regulations The trout season remains closed for the rest of this month while the whiteflsh closed season will begin November 10, and run to December 15. Mr. Baird expects to have his organization for the seining of many of the inland lakes ready in about two m o n t h s . The m a r k e t s at which the fish will be distributed will all be inland ones and the selection of them will depend largely upon the experim e n t s in selling fish within the next few weeks. Washington—Lessons drawn from Great Britain's experience in dealing with labor problems during the war are being communicated personally to American labor leaders and employers by four officials of the British ministry of munitions, who have started this week on a tour of American cities, including Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, St. Louis. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, New York and Boston. The delegation, headed by Sir Stephenson Kent, director of the labor supply d e p a r t m e n t of the munitions ministry, m a k e s the trip at the request of the council of national defense and several state councils, to discuss particularly the distribution and efficient employment of labor ,and to answer questions concerning Briti. methods of avoiding strikes, preventing excessive shifting of men from plant to plant or industry to industry, and suspending minor union regulations for the w a r emergency, without endangering the labor movement's future. New York —Eight Hundred thousand bushels of grain intended for export and valued at more than $1,200,000 W a s destroyed Saturday night by fire in elevators owned by the New York Dock Co., in Brooklyn. P.eports of incendiarism in connection wi'h the fire were revived when Fire Chief Kenlon is-ud a s t a t e m e n t saying the cause of the blaze would be rJ^idiv investigated. "T!: :TP have been 56 water front fires in Now York city lately and it is improbab'e tlu>t all resulted from natural causes," Chief Kenion s a i l . Supt. Tommiins, in charge of the elevator, said that the fire was caused by an explosion inside the structure. He. said that the nature of this explosion warranted the suspicion of a bomb "planter" being responsible. , This theory was scouted by Fire Marshal Broppy who. after a preliminary •investigation, said that he believed an | explosion of."grain dust" had occurred.

Akron, Ohio—One h u n d r e d cars of coal consigned to lake ports for shipm e n t to the northwest were ordred seized here Saturday by Mayor W. J. L a u b to alleviate the serious local shortage. T h e cars contained about 5,000 tons of coal and are being distributed in Akron through local dealers. Mayor SchranU of Canton alto setted 1,000 tons owned by the Central Power Co. which furnishes that city with electricity. Detroit—Scores of Wyandotte residents were "gassed" when a large tank of chlorine gas exploded at the plant of the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing company, near the southern city limits. One man, William Smith, Is dead. Whole families were overcome in their homes, while all persons in the s t r e e t s within a q u a r t e r of a mile of the scene of the explosion were overcome. Twenty persons were taken to the Ellbert Memorial hospital, Wyandotte, and the Ford Emergency hospital at Ford City. Many were revived in their homes. Ambulances were busy for an hour after the explosion removing the unconscious victims and administering first aid m e a s u r e s to those only slightly overcome. Washington—Food pledge week, set for October 21 to 27, has been postponed to the week of October 28 t o November 4 by Food Administrator Hoover, at the request of President Wilson, to avoid conflict with the final week of the second Liberty Loan drive. The president, in his letter to t h e food administrator, said it seemed undesirable in "the interest of both these capital m a t t e r s " t h a t they should be in motion at the same time, and laid emphasis upon the importance of enrolling the people of the nation in food conservation. Plans had been laid by the food ad ministration to have its 500,000 pledge campaign workers assist in the flotation of the Liberty Loan while enrolli ing families under the food adminis- ' tration and these will be carried out.
