Few home-butlderg realise the importance of the dining room. Too frequently it is placed in some convenient corner, light and outlook being sacrificed for the benefit of otbei rooms. It is true that in a small cottage a dining room may be omitted This may be necessary in order to give added space to the living room. It is better to have either an alcove off the kitchen or make a combined living and dining room than to provide both without proper else or ventilation. But a house of large or medium site should have a separate dining room, writes Dorothy Verrill Yates, in People's Home Journal. The first requisite for a dining room is sunlight Many a case of dyspepsia probably cornea from dining in gloomy jaurroundings which create hasty eating. One's meals should be served in a pleasant room with a pleasant atmosphere.

Mr. Starr, a Methodist minister at Mount Mark, la., and the affairs of his five loveable daughters—Prudeace, the eldest; Fairy, the next; Carol and Lark, twins; and Connie, the "baby." Prudence marries and goes away. Her place as "mother" in the home is taken by Aunt Grace. Fairy is engaged to wed. The twins and the 4,baby," just coming into womanhood, have the usual boy-and-girl love_ affairs, and the usual amazing adventures of adolescence. CHAPTER Vlll-^onttnued; **01i, no, I like to be out In the night ftir. I want to talk to you about be- Jng 11 preacher, you know. I think it is the most wonderful thing in the world. I certainly do." Her eyes were ppon his face now seriously. ,4I didn't say much, I was surprised, and I was ashamed, too, professor, for I never jcould do it in the world. Never 1 It always makes me feel cheap and exasperated when I see how much nicer Jother folks are than I. But I do think It is wonderful. Really sometimes I have thought you ought to be a preacher, because you're so nice. So many preachers aren't, and that's the kind !we need." •**&* professor put bis other hand over Carol's, which was restlessly fingering the crease ID his 6leeve. He jfSM not speak. Her girlish, impulsive touched him very deeply. **t wouldn't want the girls to know they'd think it was so funny, but—" paused uncertainly, and looked question!ngly Into his face. "Maybe you won't understand what I mean, but sometimes, I'd like to be good raypelf. Awfully good, I mean." She emlled whlmsicaly. "Wouldn't Connie iscrenm if she heard that? Now you (won't give me away, will you? But I p e o n It. I don't think of It very pften, but sometimes, why, Professor, honestly, I wouldn't care if I were as Rood as Prudence!" She paused dramatically, and the professor pressed (the slender hand more closely in his. i "Oh, I don't worry about It. I sup- rse one hasn't any business to expect good complexion and Just natural [goodness, both at once, but:—" She emlled again. "Five thousand dollars," (she added dreamily. "Five thousand dollars! What shall I call you now? P'fesser ia not appropriate any more, is it?" "Call me David, won't you, Carol? pr Dave." ' Carol gasped. "Oh, mercy 1 What jwould Prudence say?" She giggled Werrily. "Oh, mercy!" She was silent ja moment then. "I'll have to be con- Itented with plain Mr. Duke, I suppose, juntil you get a D. D. Duckte, D. D.,H she added laughingly. But in an int ahe was sober again. "I do. rove ur Job. If I were a man Td be a myself. Wouldn't I be a ra c h r He laughed, too, recovering his equafelmrry as her customary buoyant brightness returned to her. ! 'Ton are." he said; and Carol answered: ! •Thanka," very dryly. "We must go ek now," she added presently. And turned at once, walking slowly toward the parsonage. j "Can't you write to me a little often- |er, Carol? I hate to be a bother, but uncle never writes, letters, and I to knew bow my friends here are and deaths, Just plain gossip, m like it very much if you can. I do enjoy a good ^correspondence with—" [ "Do your* she asked sweetly. "How jyou have changed! When I was a riosliinsii I remember you told me you tecetved nothing but business letters, because you didn't want to take time jfao write letters, and— •DM IT* For a second he seemed a title confused. "Well, I'm not craxy it writing letters, as such. But TO glad to get yours that I know HI ijoy answering them." the personage gate they stood the gsjela she ottered her hand, aad It gravely, too*}** with Into her face, a little pale Be noted again taw wtta its efjtttt and only slightly tremulous, she looked into his eyes and laughed. The professor was in nowise deceived by her attempt at light-heartedness, remembering as he did the quick quivering lips beneath hla, and the unconscious yielding of the supple body in his arms. He condemned himself mentally in no uncertain terms for having yielded to the temptation of her young loveliness. Carol still laughed, determined by her merriment to set the seal of insignificance upon the act "Come and walk a little farther, Carol," he said In a low veice. "I want to say something else." Then after a few minutes of silence, he began rather awkwardly, and David Arnold Duke was not usually awkward: "Carol, you'll think I'm a cad to say what I'm going to, after doing what I have Just done, but I'll have to risk that. You shouldu't let men kiss you. It Isn't right. You're too pretty and sweet and fine for It. I know you don't allow It, commonly, but don't at all. I hate to think of anyone even touching a girl like you." Carol leaned forward, tilting back her head, and looking up at him roguishly, her face a-sparkle. He blushed more deeply. "Oh, I know it," he said. "I'm ashamed of myself. But I can't help what you think of me. I do think you shouldolt let them, and I hope you won't. They're sure to want to." "Yes," she said quietly, very grownup Indeed just then, "yes, they do. Aren't men funny? They always want to. Sometimes we hear old women say, 'Men are all alike.' I never believe it. I hate old women who say it But—are they all alike, professor?" "No," he said grimly, "they are not. B U I suppose any man would like to kiss a gi-rl rs sweet as you are. But men are not all alike. Don't you believe It. You won't, then, will your "Von't believe it? No." "I mean," he said, almost stammering In his confusion, "I mean you won't let them touch you," Carol smiled teaaingly, but. In a moment she spoke, and very* quietly. "P'fessor, Til tell you a blood-red seret If you swear tip and down you'll never tell anybody. Tve never told Lark—well, one night when I was a sophomore—do you remember Bud Garvin?** "Yes, the tall fellow with black hair and eyes, wasn't he? In the freshman zoology class." "Yes. Well, he took me home from a party. And Bud, well—he put his arm around me, and—maybe you don't know it professor, but there's a big difference in girls, too. Now some girls are naturally good. Prudence Is, and so's Lark. But Fairy and I—well, we've got a lot of the original Adam In us. Bud's rather nice and I let him—oh, Just a little, but It made me nervous and exdted. But I Uked i t Prudence was away, and I hated to talk to Lark that night, «o I sneaked In Fairy's room and asked If I might sleep with her. She said I could, and told me to turn on the light, it wouldn't disturb her. But I was so hot I didn't want any tight, so I undressed as fast as I could and crept in. Somehow, from the way I snuggled up to Fairy, she caught on. I was out of breath, realty I was ashamed of myself, but I wasn't Just sure then whether rd ever let htm put hla arm around me again or not But fairy turned over, and began to talk. "She said that once, when she was fifteen, one of the boys at ahrjnlnater And she didn't It a bit But father was potting la the bara, and he out yaet ta time to see it; it After ike boys had sad took Fairy far a BtHe talk, Jaat the two of than atone, He eatd 6aat ta all the The •tarr family It modi store by Jerry Junior, to be, but tsfl an her a in the world made a man so proud, and glad and grateful, as to know his wife was all his own, and that even her lips had been reserved for him like a sacred treasure that no one else could share. He said it would take the meanest man on earth, and father thinks there aren't many as mean as that, to go back on a woman like that. Fairy said ahe burst out crying because her husband wouldn't ever be able to feel that way when he kissed her. But father said since she was so young and innocent, and it being the first time, it wouldn't really count Fairy swore off that minute—never again! Of course, when I knew how father felt about mother. I wanted my husband to have as much pleasure in me as father did in her, and Fairy and I made a solemn resolve that we would never, even 'hold hands,' and that's very simple, until we got crazy enough about a man to think we'd like to marry him if we got a chance. And I never have since then, not once," "Carol." he said in a low voice, "I wish I had known it. I wouldn't have kissed you for anything. God knows I wouldn't. I—I think I am man enough not to have done it anyhow If I had only thought a minute, but God knows I wouldn't have done it if I had known about this. You don't know how—contemptible— t feel." "Oh, that's all right," she said comfortingly, her eyes glowing. "Thafs nil right. We just meant beaux, you know. We didn't include uncles,"and fathers, and old schoolteachers, and things like that. You don't count. That isn't breaking my pledge." The professor smiled, but he remembered the quivering lips, and the relaxing of the lithe body, and the forced laughter, and was not deceived. "You're such a strange girl,'Carol. You're so honest, usually, so kindhearted, so generous. But you always seem trying to make, yourself look bad, not physically, that Isn't what I mean.'' Carol smiled, and her loving fingers caressed her soft cheek. "But you try to make folks think you are vain and selfish, when you are not. Why do you do It? Everyone knows what you really are. All over Mount Mark they say you are the best little kid in town." "They do!" she said indignantly. "Well, they'd better not. Here I've spent years building up my reputation to suit myself, and then they go and shatter it like that. They'd better leave me alone." "But what's the object?" "Why, now. p'fessor," she said, carefully choosing her words, "you know, It's a pretty hard job living up to a good reputation. Look at Prudence and Fairy and Lark. Everyone just naturally expects .them, to be angelically and dishearteningly good. And If they aren't, folks talk. But take me now. No one expects anything of me, and if once in a while I do happen to turn out all right by accident, It's a sort of joyful surprise to the whole community. It's lots more fun surprising folks by being better than they expect, than shocking them by turning out worse than they think you will." "But it doesn't do you any good," he assured her. "You can't fool them. Mount Mark knows its Carol." "You're not going?" she said, as he released her hand and straightened the collar of his coat. "Yes, your father will chase me off If I don't go now. How about the letters, Carol? Think you can manage a little oftener?" *Td love to. It's so Inspiring to get a letter from a flve-thousand-dollars-ayear scientist; I mean, a was-once. Do my letters sound all right? I don't want to get too chummy, you know.** "Get as chummy as you can," he urged her. "I enjoy it" *T11 have to be more dignified if you're going to McCormlck. Presbyterian ! The Presbyterians are very dignified. Til have to be formal from this on. Dear sir: Respectfully yours. Is that proper V He took her hands in his. "Goodby, little pal. Thank you for coming out, and for telling me the things you have. You have done me good. You are a breath of fresh, sweet air." She moved her fingers slightly in his hand, and he looked down at them. Then he lifted fhem and looked again, admiring the slender fingers and the pink nails. "Doul look,- she entreated. "They're teaching me things. I can't help It This spot on my thumb is fried egg, here are three doughnuts on my see them? And here's a reguhi cake.** She pointed out the pancake In her palm, sorrowfully.

"Why, the little goose," she said to herself, smiling, "she laughed until she cried, all by herself. And then ahe turned the pillow over, thinking I wouldn't see it. The little goose!

For some time the twins Ignored the atmosphere of solemn mystery whlc^ pervaded their once so cheerful homo. But when It finally reached the ltm*.t of their endurance they marched in upon their aunt and Fairy with an admirable admixture of dignity and Indignation in their attitude. "Who's haunted?" inquired Carol abruptly. "Where's the criminal?" demanded Lark. "Yes, little twins, talk English and maybe you'll learn something." "Then, in common vernacular, though it is really beneath us, what's up?" Fairy turned Innocently inquiring eyes toward the ceiling. "What, Indeed?" "Oh, don't try to be dramatic, Fairy," counseled Lark. "You're too fat for a star-Starr." The twins beamed at each other approvingly at this, and Fairy smiled. But Carol returned promptly to the charge. ,rAre Jerry and Prudence having domestic difficulties? There's something going on, and we want to know.

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

HOW TO ENCOURAGE YOUR FLOWERS IWTATUM CfViHS >'|B^^^^^B^SJaapJNHktoMBBBBlBBHBSBMaSBBSB^tsI * » V " ^ i ••%* . *^*« » * A * ^^ & ~A By E. VAN BENTHUY8EN. If you want to encourage blooming /n your hybrid and tea roses, cut back to a well developed bud at the Juncture of leaf and stem when cutting off the rose. It is not generally known that if a spray of gladiolus is cut when the first flower appears, or rather opens, and placed in water it will bloom just as well as if on the stalk. Popples are short lived after being cut, and therefore are unsatisfactory for decoration. However, if every bloom is cut in the evening and thrown away, those flowers that open next morning will last two or three days if they are plunged in water up to their necks for an hour or two. After a thorough soaking they can be used in vases, and their beauty will charm for two or three days. The sweet pea, like every flower that blows, demands a daily stripping of every bloom. Producing seeds Is done at the expense of blooms, however, flowers should be cut with sharp shears, never torn from the plant Never cut flowers of the "wax plant" unless you wish no further blooms. Its flowers are produced in exactly the same "eye" each time, and if the eye is removed no more flowers will develop. Weak, liquid manure Is just the stimulant most flowers need when they bloom. Do not stint them in this respect. Another aid to profusion of flowers is plenty of water. The dust mulch In time of drought is beneficial when water is scarce. No matter what the calendar says, do not plant yonr tube-roses out of doors until the ground is warm, and spring sets In in earnest One way to give the children an Interest In the farm and its work is to allow each a garden plot Let them grow whatever they wish and use It as they please. Liquid manure is made by sawing a barrel in two, or using a tub with a spigot near the bottom. Punch holes In an old lard can through the bottom and around its sides near the bottom, and 1111 with fresh manure. Place tt on the tab, with boards laid across the rob and fill the can with water. Harden plants grown uader cover by exposing them to the son and air and outdoor atmosphere. Bxnoge then out a short time at first and increase the expoeare antil they are hardy. However, they most not be left la tho weather daring high or coM winds, or when frost, snow or Ice are in the air. Match sweet-peas by sowing seeds of any of the low-growing annoais along the pen trenches, and thereby extend their Meemtog season. On s a t try to grow towers or tablet too thickly on the fMHT WSSCT PESTS ALWAYS irutu it «*«•+ ning place two or three ounces of quassia chips (you can buy them from the druggist) In a pail, and fill with boiling water two or three gallons, according to size of pail. Let stand until next morning, then apply the liquid to the plant with a garden syringe, getting the tea on all sides of the fqliage and the stems. If the tea Is applied hand-hot It will be more effective. A strong soap suds made of any good white soap, if applied quite warm, is discouraging to the bug population, and is especially "good" for the green louse or aphis. Red spider affects the outdoor as well as the indoor plants in droughty weather, and are usually found on the underside of the foliage, causing the leaves to turn brown and to curl at the edges. If badly affected, strip the leaves from the plants and burn them. Rose plants will not be hurt by this method, but some plants cannot stand being deleaved, and must be sponged with soap suds leaf by leaf, hand-hot. Asters suffer from root-lice, which Invariably kill them in a^short time, If undisturbed. These lice also attack chrysanthemums, clematis and like plants. Where these pests are at worlr there will be ants also. DO NOT OMIT THE SHRUBS By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. One corner of my garden shaded from the hot sun is devoted to herbs.

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

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

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

But these fashions were confined to the rich. The poor wore shoes of wood, reeds and untanned leather. The Highlander made brogans out of untanned deer hide, and the southern nations wore cloth sandals and slippers. It was not until the year 1800 that an Englishman Invented "rights and lefts;" previously both shoes were shaped exactly alike, 80 far as we can discover, the aboriginal tribes of America never went barefooted.

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

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

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

Camp Puston, Kansas—Capt Lewifc Whistler, of the 354th infantry, became his own executioner last Saturday after suspicion had been directed at him as the probable slayer of four men who were hacked to death with a hatchet in the bank at the national army camp here Friday night. He shot himself twice in the head with an army revolver. Whistler was identified by the sole survivor of the tragedy, Kearney Wornall. The men In the bank were killed some time after 8:30 o'clock Friday night. Kearney Wornall, cashier of the bank, terribly battered and cut by the assailant, Btumbled from the bank covered with blood and fell at the feet of a passing sentry. He declared that a man in a captain's uniform had killed four men in the bank and had fled. Within ten minutes the military police and Capt. J. C. Smallwood, provost officer, had taken charge of the situation. Guards were thrown about the camp and cities within a radius of 100 miles were notified. Dogs were placed on the trail Footprints of the assailant were found in the bank. Because of Wornall's declaration that a man In a captain's uniform had done the killing, all captains at the post were ordered to report to headquarters and have their fingerprints taken. Whistler did not appear. His body was found in his room in the officers' barracks. Bloody towels were nearby. There were Bplotches of blood on the wash stand. Whistler lay on the opposite side of the room. He had obtained two hatchets from the supply department the previous day. The men killed were: C. Fuller Winters, Kansas City, Mo.; Carl Ohleson, Kansas City, Mo.; John W. Jewell, Springfield, Mo.; 0. *M. Hill, a clerk. Wornall, who is seriously injured, probably will recover.

All communication with the camp was cut off shortly after the storm broke, but telephone communication re-established later revealed that the greatest damage done there was from the rain, which had flooded many of the hospital tents, 16 of which were blown down. It was estimated that 150 patients were in the tents, but early reports from the camp said none of the patients were injured. The collapse of the corral of the One Hundred and Twenty-second infantry caused the only death, reported that of a private.

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

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

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

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

Hannibal Goodwin. Mr. Goodwin was pastor of the Episcopal church In Newark, N. J., and was a great lover of children, although he had none of his own. He was always scheming for their enjoyment, and It was in order to make a picture machine to amuse his Sunday school that he turned his attention to photographic films, the secret of which he discovered In the early eighties of the last century. He made the films in the old rectory, and sometimes he went directly from the pulpit to the laboratory In his vestments. He resigned his pastorate In 1888, but It was not for ten years later that he obtained his patent. He was about to put his films on the market when he met with an accidental death in 1900.

"It requires ISO,000 cars, 3,000 trains a day, to move the raw materials to the breweries.

In describing the triumph accorded the victorious Roman general It is related that the celebration continued for three days. On the first day £90 wagons carried the statutes and paintings which had been plundered from Macedonian cities. On the next day there passed many wagons, carrying Macedonian standards and armor, followed by &.000 men loaded with 'the silver money and silver plate [which had been secured In the booty. : On the third day came a procession of men carrying gold spoil, followed by the conqueror in a splendid chariot Rome so filled her coffers with treasure by this plunder that the republic never thereafter taxed her citizens. Thus, while the statement is historically true, the fact that there was no taxation In the ancient Roman republic for a period of several years is not at all creditable to the Romans, for the condition was the result of plunder instead of the economical administration of public affairs. mm n 0 mm* mmmmmmmmmmm HERE AND THERE M*MMa)sja*a»a«sjsM At a meeting of the board of directors of the Livingston County Fair Association, held Jan, 4, August 27, 28, 29 and 30 were fixed as the dates for the next fair and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, L.

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

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

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

They'll have a trained nurse." "Jerry—what?" gasped the twins, after a short silence due to amazement. "Jerry Junior—that's what they call it." "I—think I'll go and see," said Mr. Starr, turning heavily. Jerry hesitated a minute. "I—think I'll go along," he said.

You tell Prue I'm thinking out a lot of good advice for her, and—" "Yon must write her yourselves. She wanted us to tell you long before." Fairy picked up the little embroidered dress and kissed it, but her fond eyes were anxious. So, a few weeks later, weeks crowded full of tumult and anxiety, yes, and laughter, too, Prudence and Jerry came to Mount MarV and settled down to quiet Ufe in the parsonage. The girls kissed Prudence very often, leaped quickly to do her errands, and touched her with nervous fingers. But mostly they sat across the room and regarded her curiously, shyly, quite maternally. "Carol and Lark Starr," Prudence cried crossly one day, when she Intercepted one of these surreptitious glances, "you march right upstairs and shut yourselves up for thirty minutes. And If you ever sit around and stare at me like a stranger again, HI spank you both, rm no outsider. I belong here just as much as ever I did. And Tm still the head of things around here, tool" The twins obediently marched, and after that Prudence was more Hire Prudence, and the twins were much more twinnlsn, ao that life was very nearly normal in the old parsonage. Prudence said she couldn't feel quite satisfied because the twins were too old to be punished, but she often scolded them In her gentle, teasing way, and the twins enjoyed It more than anything else that happened during those days of <nriet, , Then cane a night when the four sisters huddled breathlessly in the kitchen, and Aunt Grace and the trained nurse stayed behind with Prudence behind the closed door of the front room upstair*.

But Prudence isn't everybody." "Maybe we'd better have a lunch," suggested their father hopefully, knowing the thought of food often aroused his family when all other means had failed. But his suggestion met with dark reproach. "Father, if you're hungry, take a piece of bread out into the woodshed," begged Connie. "If anybody eats anything before me I shall Jump up and down and scream." After that the silence was unbroken save once when Carol began encouragingly : "Every—" "Sure they* do," interrupted Fairy uncompromisingly. And then—the hush. Long, long after that, when the girls' eyes were heavy, not with want of sleep, but Just with unspeakable wear!* ness of spirit—they heard a step ou the stair. "Come on up, Harmer," the doctor called. And then, "Sure, she's all right. She's fine and dandy—both of them are." Jerry was gone in an Instant, and L>. Starr looked after him with Inscrutable eyes. "Fathers are—only fathers/' he said enigmatically. "Tea," agreed Carol. "Yes. In a crista, the other man goes first." His daughters turned to him then, tenderly, sympathetically. T o n had your turn, father." Connie consoled him. And felt repaid for the effort when be smiled at her. "Jerry Junior," Lark mused. **He*s here.—'Aunt Lark, may I hare a eookyr" A few minutes later the door was carefully shored open by means of a cautious foot and Jerry stood before them, holding In his arms a Mg bundle of delicately tinted flannel. -"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, beaming at them, his face flushed, his eyes bright embarrassed, but thoroughly satisfied. Of course Prudence waa the dearest girl In the world, and he adored her, sad—hut this was different this was fatherhood 1 "Ladles and gesrtiemem," he said again to the tender, half-Uughing sotea that Prudence loved, l o t sat iatredsjee to you my tittle daughter, fairy Bar* lleye It Not Fairy J Ton are Joking," "Of course it is Fairy," he said.

Carol rubbed her slender fingers over her own velvety cheek. "They talk about the matchless skin of a new-born lufant. Thanks. I'd just as lief have my own." "Oh, she isn't acclimated yet, that's all. Do you think she looks like me?" "No, Jerry, I don't," said Lark candidly. "I never considered you a dreftm of loveliness, by any means, but in due honesty I must admit that you don't look like that." "Why, it hasn't any hair!" Connie protested. "Well, give it-time," urged the baby's father. "Be reasonable, Connie, What can you expect In fifteen minutes." "But they always have a little hair," she Insisted. "No, indeed, they don't, Miss Connie," he said flatly. "For if they always did, ours would have. "Now don't try to let on there's anything the matter with her, for there isn't.—Look at her nose, if you don't like her hair.—What do you think of a nose like that now? Just look at it." "Yes, we're looking at It," was the grim reply. "And—and chin—look at her chin. See here, do you mean to say you are making fun of Fnlry Harmer? Come on, tootsie, we'll go 'oack upstairs. They're crazy about us up there." "Oh. see the cunning little footles," crowed Connie. "Here, cover 'em up,' said Jerry anxiously. "You mustn't let their feet stick o:it. Prudence says so. It's considered very—er, bad form, I believe." "Fairy! Honestly, Jerry, is it Fairy? When did you decide?" "Oh, a long time ago," he said, "years ago, I guess. You see, we always wanted a girl. Prue didn't think she hud enough experience with the stronger sex yet, and of course rm strong for the ladles. But It seems that what you want is what you don't get. So we decided to call her Fairy when she came, and then we wanted a boy, and talked boy, and got the girl! Let go, Connie, it Is my daughter's bedtime. There -now, there now, baby, was she her daddy's little girl?" Flushed and laughing, Jerry broke away from the admiring, giggling, nearly tearful girls, and hurried upstairs with Jerry Junior. But Fairy stood motionless by the door. "Prudence's baby," she whispered. "Little Fairy Harmer! — Mmmmmmra!" \ -Not—not Fairy r cried Fairy, 1ST, tearfully. -Oh, Jerry. I doat he- CHAPTER X. The End of Fairy. Now that the twins had attained to the dignity of eighteen years, and were respectable students at the thoroughly respectable Presbyterian college, they had dates very frequently. And It was along about this time that Mr. Starr developed a sudden interest in the evening callers at his home. He bobbed up unannounced In most unexpected places and at most unexpected hours. He walked about the house with a sharp, sly look in his eyes, In a way that could only be described as Carol said, by "downright noisiness." The girls discussed this new phase of his character when they were alone, but decided not to mention it to him, for fear of hurting his feelings. "Maybe he's got a new kind of a sermon up his brain," said Carol. "Maybe he's beginning to realise that his clothes are wearing out Again," suggested Lark. "He's too young for second childhood." Connie thought So they watched him curiously. Aunt Grace, too. obi«rved this queer devotion on the part of the minister, and finally her curiosity overcame her habit ef keeping client. "William," she said gently, -what's the matter with you lately? la there anything on your mind?** Mr. Starr started nervously. "My mind? Of course not Why?** "Ton seem to be Uoking for something. You watch the girls so closely, you're always hangtnf around, and—" He smiled broadly. -Thanks for that 'Hanging around,' tn my own parsonage. That is the gratitude of a loving family r Aunt Grace smiled. "Well, I see there's nothing much the matter with yon. I was seriously worried. I thought there was something wrong, • -Sort of mentally unhalaaced, hi that ttf Oh, no, rai J u t faantUr." the family t Tan -Oh, only in the most honorable way, of course. Ten see," he gave his ex* planation with an air of relief, -Prudence always says I must keep an eye on Carol. She's so pretty, and the boys get stuck on her, and—that's what Prudence says, I forgot all about It for a while. But lately I have begun to notice that the boys are older, and— we don't want Carol falling in love with the wrong man. I got uneasy. I decided to watch out I'm the head of this family, you know." "Such an idea I" scoffed Aunt Grace, who was not at all of a scoffing nal true. •'Carol was born for lovers, Prudence says so. And these men's girls have to be watched, or the wrong fellow wiU get ahead, and—" "Carol doesn't need watching—not any more at least." ''I'm not really watching her, you know. Tm just keeping my eyes open." "But Carol'B all right. That's one time Prudence was away off," She smiled as she recognized a bit of Carol's slang upon his lips. Don't worry about her. You needn't keep an eye on her any more. She's coming, all right." "You don't think there's any danger of her falling in love with the wrong man?" "No." "There aren't many worth-having fellows in Mount Mark, you know." "Carol won't fall in love with a Mount Mark fellow." "You seem very positive." "Yes, Tm positive." He looked thoughtful for a while. "Well, Prudence always told me te watch Carol, so I could help her If shJ needed it." "Girls always need their fathers," came the quick reply. "But Carol does not need you particularly. There's only one of them who will require especial attention." "That's what Prudence says." "Yes, Just one—not Carol." "Not Caroll" He looked at her In astonishment. "Why, Fairy and Lark are—different. They're all right. Thex don't need attention." . "No. It's the other one." "The other one! That's all." "There's Connie." "Connie?" "Yes." "Connie?" "Yes." "You don't mean Connie." Aunt Grace smiled. "Why, Grace, you're—you're off. Excuse me for saying It, but—you're crazy. Connie—why, Connie has never been any trouble In her life. Connie!" "You've never had any friction with Connie, she's always been right so far. One of these days she's pretty likely to be wrong, and Connie doesn't yield very easily." "But Connie's ao sober and straight, and—** "That's the kind." "She's so conscientious." " "Yes, conscientious." "She*8—look here, Grace, there's nothing the matter with Connie." "Of course not, William. That isn't what I mean. But you ought to be getting very, very close to Connie right now, for one of these days she's going to need a lot of that extra companionship Prudence told you about. Con* nie wants to know everything. She wonts to see everything. None of the other girls ever yearned for city life, Connie does. She says when she is through school she's going to the city.** "What c i t y r "Any city." "What for?" "For experience." Mr. Starr looked about him helplessly. -There's experience right here," he protested feebly. "Lots of i t Entirely too much of it" "Well, that't Connie. She wants to know, to see, to feel. She wants to live. Get close to her, get chummy. She may not need It and +hen again she may. She's very young yet." "All right I will. It Is well I have some one to steer me along the proper road." He looked regretfully out of the window. 1 ought to be able to see these things for myself, but the girls seem perfectly all right to me. They always have. I suppose it's because they're mine." Aunt Grace looked at him affectionately. "It's because they're the finest girls on earth," she declared. -That*a why. But we want to be ready to help them If they need i t jnst because they are so fine. They will every one ha splendid, if we give them the right kind of a chance.** He sat silent a moment T v e ah ways wanted one of them to marry a. preacher," he said, laughing apologetfcally. **It is very narrow-minded, of course, hut a man does make a hobby of his own profession.

They have done me much good, which I highly appreciate and will recommend them to my friends." a Wise persons, like Mr. Anderson, accept no substitute for the old genuine Dodd's Kidney Pills; their remedial qualities are too well known to thousands of users who have saved themselves from the ravages of Bright's Disease by the timely use of this famous old remedy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The rigid censorship, which has heretofore been maintained concernnig the trench area of the 85th division, has been lifted by the commandant, Major-General Parker. An idea of the magnitude of the trench system can be obtained from iho following figures: Cost of construction, if under actual warfare conditions, $3,000, OOU; time of construction, 200,000 working days; materials used, 1,800 miles of barbed wire, 20,000 sandbags, 300 tons of steel rails, concrete, lumber and corrugated iron.

There were two good reasons for this condition. One was that the barracks get the first steam from the plants, and the other was that from the major-general, who sat at the wheel of his big car and smashed his way through the drifts after all traffic had been abandoned, down to the last second lieutenant, each man with shoulder straps was devoting every minute of his time to watching over the enlisted men.

Major-General James Parker, commandant of the cantonment, has approved, through Captain Newman, his aide, and the Y. W. C. A. has been notified of his decision. The national Y. W. C.

The dead are: Osben Capers Belyeu, Carl Frederick Marahrens, Clarence Eugeno Book, Frank John Prinz and Julian S. Bell, all seamen; and John Engellio Chico, a fireman. The injured: Edward Thomas Mc- Donald, left arm broken; Gordon Solomon Farmer, both arms broken; Virgil V. Biggers, thigh cut and head and ankle injured. None of the dead or injured are from Michigan. The men were killed and injured by the falling of a cage mast, the first accident of its kind in the navy. NEW DRAFT REGISTRATION BILL Administration Proposes to List Men When They Become Twenty-one. Washngton—The government has decided on draft registration of all young men as fast as they become 21 years old as the means of keeping filled the ranks of the war army. It has decided against raising the draft age limit above 31 years. An administration bill has been introduced at the request of the war department, by Chairman Chamberlain, of the senate military committee, to register for draft all men who have reached 21 since June 5, 1917, when the draft law became effective. The adminlstraton's support seems to assure its prompt passage. The bills agree with recent recommendations of Provost Marshal General Crowder.

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

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

On Saturdays we get a long hike in the forenoon, about 12 miles. In the afternoon we are supposed to have off, but usually spend it cleaning up for Sunday morning inspection. We have bunk inspection every night by the Sargent in charge of our room. Our company was quarantined again for measles last Wednesday. A week at a time is as long as I have been out of quarantine since I have been here. This cold weather we don't mind it much, as no one cares to roam around a great deal when the thermometer is down to zero. We have boxing gloves, punching bags, a player piano and graphaphone, also reading matter and writing tables in our recreation room. Also have an orchestra started. Sibley. PUBLIC SALE!

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

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

WitMioMa families hi Battle Crook c*H Is soaaded at f o'clock is H* Now Tbrk-—Foortooa Oormaa eaptared ia this Detroit—Mere pessimism gave way to consternation when developments in the coal shortage made it plain that, insofar as keeping Detroit's industries going and its homes heated is concerned, the utter collapse of government fuel control is at band. ' T h e greatest calamity that has ever happened to Detroit and Michigan is pbout to occur," Edgar B. Whitcomb, local fuel administrator, wired Congressman Doremus, at Washington, Thursday night. "Confiscation is taking place in such large volume in Kentucky and Ohio," the telegram continued, "that Detroit's limited supply is seriously reduced and disaster impends. "Not half enough coal is being started from the mines at present and only part of this comes through." Whitcomb's wire to Doremus, which included the statement that he would send no further warnings, was construed as notice to Washington of the fate which hangs oyer Detroit as the result of the failure of the national fuel administration rather than as an appeal tor relief. Washington—Major-Genorai Loonald Wood, in France on an observation tour, was slightly wounded Sunday by an accdental explosion, which t i l - ed five French soldiers aad hart two other American officers. Secretary Baker announced the accident in this statement: • "A cable dispatch from the headquarters of General Pershing states that an accidental explosion klled fivs French soldiers and- slightly iniured Major-General Wood in the arm, Lieutenant- Colonel Charles E. Kllboufne » the eye and Major Kenyon A. Joyee in the arm." Details of Accident Lacking. It is understood the mesasge was brief and gave no further details. General Wood's tour would cfrry him both to the front and to the American training camps behind the li^es, but there is no indication as to where the accident occurred. All divisional commanders have been or will be sent to Europe for brief periods. General Wood, commanding Camp Funston, Kansas, went over several weeks ago. McADOO CUTS RAIL EXPENSES All Lobbyists, Needless Lawyers and Passes Eliminated. JAPAN READY TO ACT IN RUSSIA Premier Says the Situation in Russia Is Causing Much Anxiety. Tokio—"Japan holds herielf responsible for maintenance oi peace In this part of the world,, and consequently in the event of t h a t peace being endangered to the inevitable detriment of our interests, the government of Japan will not hesitate a moment to take the proper measures." Thus Count Terauchi, Japanese premier, spoke at the opening of the diet in referring to the internal disorders in Russia, spreading to the Russian possessions in eastern Asia. The premier declared the situation in Russia was causing him the greatest measure of anxiety. "As the true friend of Rtossia," he said, "Japan earnestly hopes that country may successfully settle Its difficulties without much further loss of time and establish a stable gov* e r n m e n t " Count Terauchi said also that Japan joined unreservedly with the Allied powers In the determination not to sheathe the sword until an honorable peace is secured. Washington—WtlHam G. McAdoo, director of r a ^ o a d s , Sunday ni«rht issued peremptory orders to all railroad officers and directors to cut off immediately from the payrolls all legislative railroad lobbyists, supernumerary lawyers, useless railroad literary associations, political payments and all passes, intrastate as well as interstate. Several million dollars will be InrVot within the first year by this draaHo step, It is estimated. This .order means that not only the $25,000 a year lobbyist, but the numerous persons employed to boost the Individual railroads will be reduced in number. Only those in the latter class than can be of service to the roads will be allowed to remain. Thousands of, lawyers throughout the country will be affected. Large staffs have been maintained in places where the director-general believes they have been unnecessary. The erder chops off all political subscriptions or efforts to support any man or party n any election. Perhaps the greatest evil has been the matter of passes. No one will be allowed to ride free hereaftr.

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

All persons residing in Livingston county except dealers in those commodities, who have stocks, of flour and sugar in their possoesion above their reasonable requirements for sixty days must report the same to me at once, or they will be liable to a fine of $5000.00 or imprisonment for two years or to both fine and imprisonment. It is the duty of any person, knowing of anyone having- stocks of flour and sngar to report that fact to me and I assure you the namesof anyone making such reports shail be kept Becret. With regard to the prices for bran or middlings, I would say that I have been unable to get a ruling from the state administration with regard to the exact price at which they are to be sold. As soon as I do I will notify the people through the papers. State Food Administrator Geo. A. Prescott has called a meeting of the county food administrators at Lansing on January 30, at which time I have no doubt many things will be made clear to ui. Very respectfully, F. J. Fishbeck, County Food Administrator. «*** The Nagging Wife. In the course of our investigations we discovered that in «ome homes, although the wife was not dissolute, she was, nevertheless, almost wholly to blame for the wretched conditions which existed, asserts the University Magazine. In these cases the husband was hard working and earned sufficient money from week to week to win a comfortable home, If he possessed a comfortable helpmeet, but the wife, unfortunately, was afflicted with the densest Ignorance of the art of home-making. In some other Instances the home was made unhappy by a nagging wife, with a rasping tongue. One woman of this type appeared In the juvenile court charging her husband with "neglecting her and her children. The hnsband offered no evidence at the end of his wife's tirade, which it was Impossible for the court to check. "Can you blame me for taking a drink occasionally r Reading Books.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE COAL SHORTAGE Contrary to the belief of many people, the present coal crisis^ has not come of our having sent too much coal out of the country. The coal is still in this country, but unfortunately most of it is still in the mines. Therein lies the chief difficulty. And there is absolutely no reason why it is still there when it should be on the outside. We eay no good reason, yet there is a reason. That reason is the policy that the coal operators, along with those controlling many other industries, have been pursuing for some years p a s t - limiting production. In hundreds of mining towns of the country, ever since the coal shortage has become acute, miners have been held down to four, three or even two days a week, notwithstanding the fact that tbey were clamoring for work and the public was suffering for their output. We will admit that the scarcity of cars had some bearing on the question,Ibut this was not the whole cause. If Uncle Sam can straighten out this tangle he will have the- thanks of a suffering public. But he will find thht neither he nor anybody else can relieve the situation until the men are sent into the mines and sent there to stay until there is sufficient coal above the ground to supply all our needs. When that is done a little judicious manipulating of the railroads will straighten the matter out. The Chicago Boys' Brotherhood Republic advertises for "the meanest boy in the United S t a t e s " and guarantees that in six months he will be made 100 per cent good. They may be able to make good all right, but it's a safe bet they will have no volunteers. We wonder how the kaiser is going to make peace with God.—Detroit Free Press. He fully expects, after he has conquered the earth, that God will .sue for peace with him. The kaiser is reported to be running out of man power. This country should help him out to the extent of about half a million of his subjects for whom we have absolutely no need. There are a million soldiers in this country who would give six months' pay for the opportunity Dr. Law, the kaiser's American dentist, so carelessly threw away. Fuel Administrator Garfield says the coal shortage was "largely psychological." We are gladfto know it wasn't the dreadful reality the suffering poor imiginedit. The hunter and taxidermist, Carl E. Akeley, who has spent a great deal of painstaking effort in preparing the wonderful aulmal groups at the American Museum of Natural History, is known throughout South Africa as au elephant hunter. He has had many thrilling experiences, one of which he describes in the New York Sun as follows: Elephants are no more conspicuous la their own country than jack rabbits are in theirs. They are the color of the shadows in the forest and almost as indistinguishable. Intelligence and vindictiveness a r e two of their most prominent characteristics. When one knows he is being hunted he will lie in wait, still as a rock, and looking much like oue, and will hunt his hunter as a dog hunts a rat. I had cut a big bull out from a herd and was following his spoor, knowing well enough that he was lying in wait for me somewhere. The big beast, a s it turned out afterwards, got my wind as I was stalking him, and was searching for me. I must have got within ten or twenty feet of him, because I remembered afterward that I heard a swift rush bat did not catch sight of him coming. The first I knew of his presence was a quick vision of his trunk as he knocked me down. Then I caught one glimpse of his little eyes as he curled up his trunk out of the way and tried to Impale me with his tusks. I had just time to grasp a tusk with my left hand and twist myself so that my body was between the two shafts of ivory. I felt the impact of his tusks as they dug into the ground on either side of me, and his heavy nose crushed against my ciiest. That is all I remember. My hunter fortunntely shot hfm dead as he was preparing for another thrust. I was unconscious as they carried me to the camp, where I lay for three month?!, with my chest so crushed that it was doubtful whether or not I should live. ft in Livingston Countyjfor the prices we offer them, AILJgoods cash after^January 1.

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

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

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

How well the South fought on it. history tells. Now it can help America win a world war. Learn Something—Corn! It isn't one food. It's a dozen. It's a cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread. It's a dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it, dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don*t know until you've ha"d corn-bread properly cooked. Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic. Corn's Infinite Variety—Hew much do you know about corn?

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

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

CONFINED IN WOODEN CAGES Conditions Terrible, Report Says,- Prieoners Underfed, No Care Given 111 Men. Italian Army Headquarters—Exchanged Italian prisoners who have just arrived from Austrian concentration camps tell of almost unbelievable cruelties practiced against prisoners, particularly Serbians, who are reported confined in cages and fed through bars like animals. An authoritative summary of the statements of these returned prisoners says: "Treatment of the Serbians is even worse than that of the Italians, indicating that Austria intends to destroy the Serbians as a race. As a result of these conditions there are up to now not less than 30,000 to 40,000 dead from starvation. They are permitted to receive no parcels and are unable to work, because of weakness. Kept in Wooden Cages. They are put like animals in cages with wooden bars. Through these bars the keeperes throw them scraps of un. eatable bread, carrots and turnips as their sole sustenance. The mortality, already great, is increasing, as they are given no care and there are no doctors and no sanitation." Concerning the Italians, the statement says they returned in rags after suffering ill treatment and exposure to cold while compelled to work on enemy trenches under the guard of Hungarians, who are declared to be particularly hostile to the Italians. They received a small loaf of bread daily for division among eight men. Conditions are so terrible, the report says, that they will result in not more than one-third of the Italian prisoners coming back alive. * Seven Years in Prison Given * • 8oldier Who Mutilated Hand. * * Greenville, S.

BLOOD POISON STRIKES CUSTER Four Soldier* Die In Two Days From New Malady. Camp Custer, Battle Creek—On January 31 and February 1, four soldiers died, and an uncertain number are suffering In the base hospital, from general septicemia, usually known as blood poisoning. The dead are Merrill S. Gibbs, 310th supply train. Grass Lake; Alfred Johnson, Co. M, 337th infantry, Bdmore; Ralph M. Canfleld, 16th engineers, Martin; Alfred Hughes, 160th depot brigade, Morris, III Reports Issued at the base hospital are to the effect that a large number of serious cases of infection have been developing of late. Apparently trivial cuts or lesions develop this infection, and the condition of the men rapidly becomes critical. Sore throats and tonsilitis have, It is stated, developed in to septicemia. The long, unbroken spell of severe weather, which has not only caused the confinement of men to their quarters, but has created conditions which have depressed the soldiers mantally, is blamed by the surgeons for the appearance of the new menace to camp health. Snow Plows Fail to Clear Tracks. Battle Creek—Two steam and two electric plows, worting coatineonsly since the bltssard of Jannary 11, hare failed to open the Mae of the Michigan Railway from Battle Creole and Kalav to Oread Rapids, so S*0 hired last weak to a way ffcrisagti the eaow for Washington—What the American Red Cross has done with the vast sums of money entrusted to it by ihe veople of the United States i« stated in detail in a report just issued by iho national headquarters. To date, $79,460,727.35 has been appropriated foj nliet work in this couutry and ah mad. For foreign relief $44,657,795 has been appropriated as follows: France, $30,519,259.60; BsMum, $1,999,631; llu?Ria, ?7ol 940.87; Houmania, $2,61f.. 398.76; Italy, $3,146,016; Seriba. $S7J, 180.76; ('.rent Britain. $1,703,642; other foreign countries, $2,536,300; American soldiers who may be taken prisoner, $343,627. The foregoing appropriations are from the time the United States en tcred the war until April 30, 1918. For the United States the Red Cross has appropriated $2,G12,532.60 and the reason this sum is not larger is because Ihe government proVides nearly everything our army and navy needs, and besides, there is no civilian distress in this country of any considerable proportions. The great variety of the military and civilian relief work being done by f he Red Cross is indicated briefly in the following list: canteens that afford food, baths and sleeping quarters for men at the front; rest stations and recreation centers for soldiers in tiansit and at port of arrival in Prance; care of destitute children; furnishing supplies to 4,000 hospitals; teaching mutilated soldiers new trades; reconstruction of villages; bringing together families of soldiers scattered by the war; farms for convalescent soldiers; sanitariums for tubercular and other patients; food, clothing, medicine, and shelter for the homeless and destitute; and other activities too numerous to mention. It is stated by the national war council that all salaries and administrative expenses are paid out of membership dues, so that every penny given to the Red Cross war fund has been spent for relief. This answers the rumois tnat have been circulated about the expenses of operation. Out of 255 executives in the fourteen divisional offices of the Red Cross In the United States, 59 per cent are women. The policy is to select the most competent persons regardless of politics, sex or religion. Washington—The first draft army will be completed February 23. The final quotas from those states which have not furnished their full strength will be sent to camp that date. Orders to this effect have gone out from Washington, it was understood the first of the week. Advance supplies of equipment for the new contingents now are being assembled at the camps and cantonments in various sections of the country. Secretary of War Baker has insisted on the accumulation of ample stocks of clothing and other necessary supplies before the additional men reach camp. The work is being rushed. Advices that clothing and supplies would be ready in time were received before the provost marshal general decided on the order requiring the induction of the final quotas into military service. An aggregate of about 75,000. men will be sent to camp under the new orders. The date of the second draft call is dependent on the removal of troops now in training. There is no plan under consideration which calls for the construction of new cantonments or extensive enlargements of the existing camps. The second draft apparently will not apply to all states simultaneously. Transfer of the men of the first national army is regulated by the availability of ships. As transports become available, contingents which have completed their home trainng will be sent abroad. Registrants to be called under the second draft will be ordered into military service as camp space becomes available. Costs Less Mum and Kills W That Cold CASCARA fc?

In the big cities the registrants report to the police stations and in the smaller towns at post offices. Austrians, Hungarians, German women and German boyB less than 14 years old need not register. The government wishes it clearly understood that there is no blame to be attached to any particular German and warns officials to be courteous to all registrants. It also reminds the Germans that in registering "they are giving proof of their peaceful disposltionr and of their intention to conform to the laws of the United States.' Plenty of Water.

The eastern end of the battle line in the west front runs through French and German Lorraine. According to dispatches, two Americans were killed and nine wounded during a heavy bombardment Saturday, the American artillery sending back shell for shell. It was ascertained Monday that the American gunners wrecked several enemy dugouts and so badly damaged the first line positions that at one point the Germans were unable to occupy them Sunday.

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

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

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

I Twenty years ngo Max Gootschnelder !landed in New York with a slim young jwife, a baby girl that could just toddle, [fc30 in money and a hopeful disposition. jThe first few weeks in the strange ^America was a period of such forlorn • and homesick misery that Max never forgot them. And so, when Max and Mrs. Max, ino longer slim, sat in their fine house dlscusslnp the details of a celebration 'which might be suitable to signalize the engagement of the only daughter lof a prosperous furrier to marry a rich !young diamond merchant, Max had an idea, says the Cincinnati Ttmea- Star. "Mamma," he said, "you remember when we landed in New York—you and Carrie, our baby, and me? You iremember how it was for us then? Well, we shnll give a feast for our daughter, Carrie, and her young man, but we will give It to the people who are now like we were then. Our 'friends are happy. Thoy are not hungry. They are not sorrowful because there is no one to choor thorn tip. They do not need a feast like the poor people that have come from the old country. Those are the poople who shall enjoy our Carriers wedding feast." And PO the feast was given, awny down in East Broadway. In the building which is occupied by the Hebrew Immigrants' Sheltering Aid society, and which overflows nowadays with hundreds of misery-stricken people from the countries at war in Europe. There was a room whore 1,"0 per- -Bons cotild eRt at once. As soon as one •crowd of 150 had finished, another came In. There were no Invitations find no red tape. Max and Mrs. Max and the pretty Carrie and her proud huaband-to-be stood at the door and smilingly welcomed all who came. There was chicken and duck and poose innd gefillte fish. And everyone was ^welcome to all of everything. Even the kids, who stealthily pilfered goodies were urged to pilfer imore. And the feast brought joy and good cheer to a thonsand people who are homeless in n strange land. And the spirit of kindliness so permeated dt a& that Mamma Gootschnelder, now « n d then* was compelled to wipe away * sympathetic tear. And after it was « n over. Papa Gootschnelder declared t h a t his undying regret would be that lie h a d only one daughter to give a wedding; feast for. A news item say's "Hoover wants the government to buy all the sugar." It might Just as well. With the whole country going " d r y " there'll soon be nothing left to mix it with.

The old time[spendthnft who boasted of having "money to burn" now has a son who is boastful of the fact that he has coal to burn. Half of Wood and Hay "February, second day, half the wood and half the h a y , " runs an oldtime saying oft repeated in pioneer days when people were more given to the observance of signs and prophesies. Ofttimes, too, there was sound reascn and years of experience bound up in those oln time jingles. According to the saying mentioned above, people may figure on burning about as much fuel during the ensuing winter ar.d spring days as they have during the past fall and winter; likewise,' stock-feeders have reached the halfway mark in the consumption of feed by their herds. fftt ft "CranberryJCorners" fJThe comedy drama, "CranberJy Corners." produced under the auspices and for the benefit of the Red Cross society last Friday was a huge success from every standpoint, dramatically and financially.

Recalls Misplaced Confidence and Made All t h e More Tragic Because of Splendid Ideals. Only t h e ruin of t h e villa "Valhalla" remains of the ill-fated Norwegian colony established by Ole Bull iu Pennsylvania iu t h e lute '50s. T h e story of the colony, says t h e Kunsas City Times, is one of misplaced confidence, m a d e all t h e more tragic because of the splendid ideals t h a t led to i t s establishment. T h e great Norwegian violinist, alw a y s a n admirer of America, wished to obtain a location for a model colony of his countrymen. H e bought a thousand acres of a firm of land dealers and soon afterward brought to this country several hundred ^Norwegians. A clearing w a s made, t h e village of Oleana built and, in a n address to the townspeople, Ole Bull set forth the hopes t h a t had inspired his mission. T h e address follows : " B r o t h e r s of N o r w a y ! From the cllnie where t h e north/' wind h a s its h o m e ; where t h e maelstrom roars, and where t h e aurOra for half t h e year takes the place of t h e genial sun, we iRive come to find a home. When we were among o u r mountains, and w a r was bringing want and famine upon us, we heard there w a s a country in a milder climate where liberty dwelt and plenty reigned. Upon looking over our records, we found that o u r countrymen, under Thorfin, h a d discovered that hind more than eight hundred years ago, but that they were met by cruel und savage Indians, a n d h a d left no record of themselves, except some traces of their sad history engraven iu the rocks of Fall river, a n d one temple which they raised to God on an island a t the mouth of N a r r a g a n s e t t bay. All other record of them had passed away. "How different is our reception from that which Thorfin and his followers received. No savage Indian startles us with his w a r whoop, but kind friends meet us on every side, taking us by the hand a n d giving us welcome to our new home. "Brothers of N o r w a y ! We must not disappoint this confidence, b u t by lives of industry and honesty show to our new brothers that they have not mlspluced their friendship. "And now, to these gentlemen of New York a n d Pennsylvania, who have so kindly assisted by their counsel and advice in this work, I return my most sincere a n d heartfelt thanks, and casting ourselves upon the goodness of our heavenly Father, resting secure upon his promise, let us go on In the daily performance of every duty, a n d he will bless u s . " T h e r e v w a s a pathetic aftermath. H a r d l y h a d t h e pioneers got well under way with their Homebuilding when it w a s discovered that the violinist had been victimized. T h e company that sold him t h e land h a d no valid title to it. T h e people of Oleana scattered, some of thein penniless a n d with few friends in the new country. Ole Bull, with splendid loyalty to those he had brought to this pass, gave public concerts to raise money for their relief.

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

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

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

Keep After Things. Do you remember when you learned to swim, or ride a bicycle? You went to it for all you were worth, but you couldn't get the hang of it. Then, a few days afterward, you tried again and It "came to you" first thing. But It wouldn't have "come to you" If you hadn't "gone to It" that other time. The effort which seemed to be wasted at the time you made It wasn't wasted after all. You will find It the same with learning how to think. If you can't keep your mtnd on the subject tomorrow morning, keep on trying till the half hour is up.

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

SAILS FOR EUROPE THIS WEEK Claimed That Even With Great Holes Torn in Sides, Ship Would Remain On Surface. Washington—The first non-ainkable seagoing ship, the Lucia, achievement of American genius, will load this week and leave for Europe She will be without convoy. She goes as an open challenge to German submarines to prive that she is invulnerable. No test has been made or will be made of the efficacy of her multiplicity of airtight and water-tight cellB. William F. Donnelly, inventor of the non-ainkable construction of the Lucia, a marine engineer of New York, will have charge of loading of the vessel. Although the Lucia is fitted with 12,- 000 of the water and air-tight cells, permanently attached to frames and deck beams and other available spaces of the deck, about 15 to 20 per cent of the cargo space must be packed with additional numbers of these buoyant boxes. Mathematical calculations from small scale experiments, are considered sufficient proof that even with a hole 40 feet long blown in her side she would remain safely afloat, supported by the honeycomb of cells. Each cell is independent of any other for its supporting quality and the great number of them, in addition to the ordinary safety device of watertight doors and other water-tight compartments on every sea-going vessel give so great a degree of bouyancy that two or three torpedoes would not be likely to work havoc enough to sink such a ship. A vessel, so smashed and torn by torpedoes, with gaping holes below the water line could remain on the surface indefinitely, simply waterlogged with no danger to her crew. Unless unusually rent open, she could proceed to a port, however, slowly. In any event neither lives or cargo would be likely to be lost, for succoring vessels either could tow her to port or salvage at the spot the undamaged part of the cargo. LOANS GIVEN WAR FACTORIES Over $150,000,000 Advanced to Small Shops By War Credits Board. Washington—Approximately $150,- 000,000 has been advanced to contractors on war work by the war credits board, the war department announced Monday. This includes money for clothing, food, equipment, small ammunition and similar producton. The advances, made under authority of congress, have stimulated production of munitions and other materials to their highest possible degree. In some caseB they have prevented the closing down of plants because of inability of contractors to get money to meet the payrolls. The law permits advances not exceeding 30 per cent of the contract price for supplies, such advances to be amply secured. The board announces that "when a concern that has a contract with the war department for supplies, has shown that It needs financial assistance and haa been able to comply with the act by giving adequate security, the board haa approved an advance payment and the money haa been received by the contractor without delay.

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

I listened to it for a moment before I spoke. " W h y ? " I questioned at last—"why are you afraid to t a k e your chance—to be h a p p y ? " "Because-," answered my friend, and her eyes looked fur away—past the car and the rain, even—"because I'm afraid that it won't l a s t ! " When it is autumn, and the leaves are crimson and gold-colored and very beautiful, we know, even as we admire them, that they will be brown and withered some day.

And so this Is the a n s w e r to my friend and to other friends of mine: Never be afraid to grasp at happiness because It may not last. For happiness Is as beautiful as the flowers of spring and the sky of summer and the vivid leaves of a u t u m n . And even though It might not last, happiness is too beautiful to pass by with never a glance. And then, as the philosopher said, and as we know, don't be sure, as you t a k e your chance at happiness, t h a t it will not stay. Look around your circle of friends, look at your business associates, look at t h e casual crowds t h a t you pass every day and you'll see t h a t the average of happy faces is r a t h e r high.

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

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

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

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

D. W. Heldt, of the signalmen; A. B. Garretson, of the conductors, and W. G. Lee, of the trainmen, made the charges. W. G. Lee, president of the railway trainmen, said that he had evidence that several railroad men were replaced by inexperienced employes at important gateways, that engines had been permitted to freeze up over night and that rain "crews had been called out and kept waiting until the 16-hour law overtook them before being sent out to the terminal. Asked by Chairman Lane, of the railroad wage commission, who was responsible for these things, Mr. Lee said he believed he could trace it back to about four banks in New York city, which control railroad financing.

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

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, Feb. 28, 1918 No. 9 • i LOSS IN TRENCHES v Mortality Less Than in Any of the Previous Wars. Fhyiletan AaMrts That D1M«M It 8« Thoroughly Eliminated That a eiok Man la a Curiosity. Eeaders with relatives and friends Lat the front should get considerable J comfort from a study of the mortality Jstatistlcs of the armies recently put forward by a well-known physician, London Tit-Bits states. While his figures are not so fayorable as those .given out from Paris indicating that all kinds of permanent losses—killed, captured, missing and disabled—aggregate but 8 per cent per annum of the effective forces engaged, they are nevertheless distinctly encouraging. He finds that about sixty men per 1,000 are being killed and 150 wounded and that a very large proportion of the latter return to the trenches. This, naturally, is not to be compared with the normal death rale in time of peace of men of military age, which is but .eight per 1,000; but it is a vast im* provement upon the showing of any previous war. For one thing, disease has been so thoroughly eliminated that a sick man is a curiosity. The soldier at the front Is certainly less liable to attack than If he were at home. Everything he eats and drinks and wears, almost everything he touches, Is subject to the finest medical supervision of which science is capable, and if any particularly persistent bacillus were to get into his system in spite of all precautions, it would find him in such superb condition that its work would be futile. The high commands have thoroughly Turned the lesson that it does not pay to train a man to be a soldier and then lose him from a cause that is In the least degree preventable. By this same token, experience, both in the protection of the soldier and in the care of the wounded, is stead* lly reducing the death rate as the war progresses. Not only are new tactics constantly being developed which result in loss exposure of the individual soldier, but he is constantly being better equipped with defensive apparatus to minimize the effects of bullet or shrapnel or gas attack. Finally, from many classes of wounds which world have spelled probable death in 1914 and certain crippling In 1915, recovery Is now almost a matter of course. The drafted man who goes as an ordinary soldier, taking his Judgment with nlm and leaving his excessive enthusiasm behind, has every chance of coming back, and in better physical condition than when he left PHILOSOPHY OF Mfi¥ CHANtrE Lonely Bachelor Realizes Mistake In Not Welcoming Both Joy and Sorrow Into His Life. Tit for T a t The subject of the Sunday sermon fit one of the uptown New York churches was the duties of the citizen in time of war. The need of conservation of all foodstuffs was emphasized, and among the persons who gave ear was a small boy, replete in Sunday finery. He sat with his.grandfather, a stout, rather red-faced man, who ^was obviously devoted to the youngster. "And at this time," said the clergyman, in the course of his sermon, "it is the small sacrifice whlcE means so much to the good of the nation generally. There is a shortage of sugar. Well. let us eat less candy, for instance." The stout man nudged his grandson. "It is time for sober, clear-headed action on the part of all," continued the clergyman; "and when there are so many war needs for alcohol, why, for instance, should any man now partake of spirituous liquors?" Then the small boy nudged his grandfather. Search for Oil In Britain. Certain eminent American geolop0ftr t i t house of commons was told Jajato^gtld that it is well worth while rf^^^MMMF;a considerable sum of money ~£ ! • e£&l£ng for possible petroleum de- *-^t5oslts In Great Britain, according to a London correspondent. The speaker, a spokesman for the board of trade, .added: "It is Impossible to exaggerate the Importance of finding oil in this country. TCe cannot yet say that it is here, but it ts certainly wortit looking fori- "Oil It almost more important at this moment Iban anything else. Yon may have mtflji, munitions and* money, but If you hat* no oil yon are without the ^greatest motive power we are using." I read a story in a current magazine today. And after I read a certain part Of It I laid the magazine down, 'and I too, looked far away. But I looked past the printed page into a damp, dimly lighted trolley car—and into the heart of my friead who feared to grasp a vision, Margaret. B. S'ang- Bter writes in the Christian Herald. In the story a wealthy old bachelor was telling his reason for never having married. "I began to wonder," he said, 'Svhether there was any advantage in marrying at all. I saw a lot of people who were wretchedly unhappy together, and even more wretched after they had dissolved their matrimonial ties. I discovered that marriage usually meant children, anxiety, sickness and death. I took counsel of my fears. Why fall in love and marry If by doing so I was going to expose myself to the arrows of outrageous fortune? My parents were both dead. Sorrow couldn't touch me. Why Invite unhapplness? If I had no family I should have- only myself to look out for—to worry about—and when I died nobody would suffer agonies of bereavement on my account. So I shut myself up in my shell and built an iron wall around my affections to keep out sorrow. "I was a fool! What wouldn't I give now to have had sorrow 1 Many's the time I've envied my friend with a dead child. Pain and Joy go hand in hand. Deaden your capacity for one and you lose the other. Today I'd rather have had a year or so with a woman I had loved and have lost her than to be what I am—a lonely, childless, wifeless, friendless old man." I read ( the paragraph over. And then I took it to a man I know—I call him sometimes, to myself, the philosopher. "I think," he told me, "that the reasoning is quite right I "There's an old proverb that covers the whole thing. I think. "Tis better, to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all!' The word 'love' isn't the only one that will fit into that proverb.

At a meeting of the Woman's Indian Study association, Miss Boyd, secretary in England tor the Woman's University settlement, Bombay, said that only one per cent of Indian women could read. She declared the great need was for the Indian girls to take up the profession of medicine. It had been stated by an authority that an Indian woman in child birth had less chance than a foldler on the battlefield. Contradictory Evidence. "There is one thing curious about the minutes of a meeting." "What is that?" "They are generally affairs of moment" High Individual Morale. The reason why morale is necessary In tftnes of peace as well as in war is that the morale of no army can be higher than the Individual morale of the men, declares San Antonio Light Therefore the very best soldiers are those recruited from civil life who have every day morale—the men who do things, who stand fearlessly for what they believe to be right, who are undismayed by opposition and apparent defeat, and who accept life's tribulations calmly, patiently and with fortitude. Men of that stripe cannot be stampeded or confused in military affairs, once they have been trained as soldiers, just as in every-day life they cannot be kept down by circumstances. They are individually invincible and hence when organized into an army, they are militarily invincible. Therefore when you read of an army or a military unit with a high morale you know that the men in the ranks and the officers over them are men of strong, dominant courage who meet death calmly in the discharge of their military duty and who cannot be routed nor overawed by the enemy, but must be vanquished, if at all, by fighting. Warren Adelbert Carr. Warren Adelbert Carr was born in the Township of Putnam Oct. 27, 1854, the second son of Darwin and Caroline Carr. His early education was acquired in he schools of the village of Pinckney. On July 5, 1874 he was united in marriage to Sarah A. Johnson. To this union were born four children, Ernest t A. and Frances D. of Detroit, Roger J. of Pinckney and Mrs. Jas. A. Green of Alma. Mr. Carr has held the office of the Justice of the Peace of the Township of Putnam for the past twentyfive years and that of Village Attorney for the Village of Pinckney for the past twenty years. His unerring judgement and sterling buisness qualities proved him a man of marked ability. Although often hampered by illness Mr. Carr was a wise and willing counselor to all who came to him "for advise and assistance. His loss will be keenly felt in this community where he lived all his life arid enjoyed the confidence and respect of all who knew him. He passed away at his home in Pinckney, Febuary 14, 1918 at the age of 03 years 3 months and 17 days surrounded by his loving wife and four devoted children who with six grandchildren, two brothers and a sister remain to mourn their loss.

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

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

Win the War by Preparing the Land Sowing the Seed and Producing Bigger Crops Work in Joint Effort the Soil of the United States and Canada CO-OPERATIVE FARMING DV MAN POWER NECESSARY TO WIN THE BATTLE FOE LIBERTY The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking for greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are available to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest. Upon the efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply. Every Available Tillable lore Must Contribute; Every Available Farmer and Farm Hand Must Assist Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seeding operation. Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bushels; the Demand From Canada Alone for 1918 Is 400,000,000 Bushels To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. Whenever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied, we want to direct him there. Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can best serve the combined interests. Western Canada's help will be required not later than April Sth. Wages to competent help, 150.00 a month and up, board and lodging. Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages, good board and find comfortable homes.

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

Detroit Don't the things that worried vou three years ago look trival now? Find Relics of Saxon Kings. Capt. Vaughan Williams of Old Windsor has discovered what he believes to be the site of the palace of the Saxon kings and the pre-conquest town of Windsor. It is believed that there on,ce stood at Old Windsor the palace of Edward the Confessor, but although several Saxon urns have been excavated here from time to time the actual position of the palace has never been decided. Tlghe and Davis, In their "Annals of Windsor," say that Old Windsor was probably selected by the Saxon kings as a residence for tire same reason as It was subsequently repurchased by William the Conqueror, on account of Its convenience for hunting in the forest. The lands of Windsor, granted by Edward the Confessor and exchanged ! by the abbot of Westminster with William, appear to have hnd reference to Old Windsor, and did not include the site of the present town or castle. King William held Old Windsor as his own demesne. »> I 3 H \i :: | •*• ft $ $ fftt f9t 1% 8n **.#* :.: It • • :?.;: »» ».• • * ».• fftt fftt fftt f£t fftt fftt ft ii if Ii 8 TEEPLE HARDWARE CO. fftt h fftt fftt i :* We desirerevcry one that owes us by either note or account to visit our store during- the next thirty days and settle all up, as -we have nothing but past due matters.

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

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

Washington.—Reduction in the retell prices of both anthracite and bituminous coal is expected by the fuel administration as the result of a decision to eliminate jobbers' commissions after next April 1. Under the new regulations, retail dealers will obtain coal at the same price wnether purchasing directlv from the mine or through middlemen. The mine price will be increased slightly to provide for the operators" added expense, but the advance will not be equal to the commission no-v allowed the jobber.

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

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

Gregory. Rev. J. J. Schul«r received the following letter from bis nephew who ia now a captain in the American Army in France. Somewhere in France, Jan. '11, iyi« Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Scbuler, Gregory, Mich. Dear John and Maude: Your dandy letters of Dec. 27 received yesterday and your* were the only letters I received from the States. It has been an awful trial for me here, but I have learned that Ood will meet every human need and I havB had so many demonstrations of bis loving kindnees that I am satisfied to stay over here until this terrible wax is ended. The weather here has not been very coW and while we have had lots of snow it is all gone now and the fields are as green as at home in April. You speak of your Red Cross work and I want to say that it is the grandeat thing you can do to help your country win the war. I handled the Red Cross supplies for this hospital for a long time and can truthfully say that were it not for the many articles of clothing and hospital supplies that are furnished from this source many a poor Boldier would lack comfort. Regular U. S. supplies are here in abundance, but it is tha home made things that bring real comfort to the sick and wounded. So keep the good work up. France is surely a beautiful country with its old fashioned houses of stone plaster and red tile roofs. Its well paved country roads, the beautiful green fields and its many places of historic interest What attracted my attention most prominently at first was the Well built roads which are met on every hand and the manner in which they are kept up. Beautiful well trained trees are placed on either side not alone for beauty and shade but for a protection from washouts during the rainy seson. Piles of crushed rock at regular intervals are Been along the roads for instant repair work. When they suface a road for any distance just one side is done at a time so traffic is not delayed. I have visited many places of historic interest. Some time ago I was at Domreray the birthplace of Joan of Arc. I vfsited church in which she was baptised also the house in which she was born. Air crafts are in the air over us nearly all the time and while we are not very near to the front line trenches we have an occaaioal thrill when the signal "Air Raid" is sounded. I could mention many more things of interest but they would not get by the censor, so will stop right here. With love and best wishes, I am, Sincerely your nephew, Captain F. Ellis Reed.

Poets are the great exceptions. Poets are forever performing the Impossible. "No man putteth new wine Into old bottles . . . new wine must be put into new bottles." But putting new wine into old bottles has beens the steady professional occupation of John MasefleldL While many of our cotemporary verse llbrlsts and other experimentalists have been on the hunt for new bottles, sometimes, perhaps, more Interested in the bottle than In the wine, John Maseneld, has been constantly pouring his heady drink Into receptacles 600 years old. In subjectmatter and in language he Is not In the least "traditional," not at all Victorian; he is wholly modern, new, cotemporary. Yet while he draws his fhemes and his heroes from his own Experience, his Inspiration as a poet comes directly from Chaucer, who died in 1400. He is, indeed, the Chaucer of today; the most closely akin to Chaucer—not only in temperament, but in literary manner—of all the writers of the twentieth century.—The Bookman. Mere Men. More than 1,500 years ago—perhaps on the day, let us say, that Charlemagne died—a great red cedar tree fell In the forests of what Is now Cunuda. Today from tho prostrate trunk sound ml cedar shingles are being cut. for the dwellings of mere man— and red cedar shingles outlive, in their usefulness, the oldest of men, observes a writer. Straddling the fallen giant are the stumps of three other cedars, charred by ages of forest fires, but marked with the rings which proclaim their fifteen centuries of growth. As for the age of the tree which fell with the passing of Charlemagne, that Is mere speculation—perhaps it was 'a iseedllng when Nebuchadnezzar was rebuilding Babylon. At any rate, Its shingles, nailed to your roof today, will be sheltering your grandsons when your own dust, perhaps, is being blown about the world. Auction Sale Monday March 4th At ONE P. M.

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

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

Ds«td ftoMrts1 Vat. Co., 100 Grand Avenue, Waukesha, W l i ; MIBITSSS^^H ST/HTiNG PLANTS OF CERTAIN CROPS BEFORE DANGER OF FROST HAS PASSED Cold Frame W i t h Cloth Cover, Suitable f o r G r o w i n g Plants Not Requiring W a r m t h of a Hotbed. (Prepare U by t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s Departm e a i of A g n n . l t ure.) In most sections of the South It is desirable to start plants of certain crops before the danger of frost has passed. The simplest method of starting a limited number of plants is by means of a shallow box in a south window of the dwelling. After I hi* plants uppoar, the box should be turned each (lay, to prevent t h e plants drawing toward the light. A more satisfactory method of s t a r t i n g plants is by means of hotbeds or cold frames. A hotbed b feet by G feet will be large enough for tin* average-sized garden and can be ('(instructed r a t h e r cheaply. In the colder regions of the South some form of heat should be supplied. Fresh manure from the horse stable will be found satisfactory for this purpose. Turn the m a n u r e two or three times before placing it in the bed. in order to make it uniform in composition and nierlumical condition. Make the excavation for tlu» bed about IS inches deep :ual put in 15 to IS inches of fresh manure, packing It well by trampling. Arrange a frame over the manure, so the slope will be to the south. Place 4 oi" f> inches of good garden loam over the manure and cover the frame with a hotbed sash or heavy canvas, preferably the former. The manure will heat quite rapidly for the first few days. During t h a t time ventilate the bed frequently, to allow the gases to escape and to lower the temperature. The seeds should not be planted until the t e m p e r a t u r e goes down to SO degress or S5 degrees F. After the .seeds have been planted, close attention should be given to the watering and ventilation of t h e bed. The soil should never be til lowed to dry out, hut it should not be kept water-soaked. Moisture Is necessary for the germination of the seed and for the growth of the plants, hut an excess of moisture should be avoided, as it stimulates the development of diseases, especially damping-off. W a t e r should be applied early enough in the day to allow the plants to dry before night. Ventilate the beds during the heated portion of the day, but cover them in time to insure their warming up enough to prevent chilling t h e plants during the night. In the lower South, cold frames may bp used instead of hotbeds, ami canvas or cotton cloth covers instead of glass. T h e illustration shows a type of frame commonly used In the warmer section of the South for starting plants. T r a n s p l a n t i n g . For the best results, plants started in boxes, hoth+Mis. ur cold frames should be t r a n s p l a n t e d when they reach a Uf-fght of 1 to ii inches. Transplanting' tends to produce uniform, stocky plants with a well-developed root system. The seedlings may be transplanted to boxes or to the hotbed or cold frame, to stand about 2 Inches apart each way. Some growers transplant twice before setting in the open ground. Fig. 5 shows two celery plants from the s a m e seeding. The one at the left was transplanted, while that at the right was allowed to remain in the seedbed until time for planting in the garden. H a r d e n i n g Off. I'lants growing in a honse, hotbed, or cold frame should be hardened off before they are transplanted to the garden. This can be accomplished by ventilation and exposure to outdoor conditions during the day in good weather. If the plants are in a hotbed or cold frame, the covers may be removed during the day when the weather is good and replaced toward nightfall. After danger of frosts is past the covers may he left off at night. Hy the time the plants art1 large enough to be transplanted to the garden they should be thoroughly accustomed to outdoor conditions. Such plants usually withstand the transfer to the garden with little check and few losses. Setting Plants in the Open Ground. llefore taking the plants from the bed it should he thoroughly watered and the water allowed to soak into the ground. This will insure a portion of the soil adhering to the roots and will prevent serious wilting or the checking of growth. Take up the plants with a trowel or spade and pack them in boxes or baskets in which to carry them to the held, The land should be in good condition and everything should he ready for quick operation when planting time arrives. Mark off the rows or dig the holes for the plants just before planting to prevent the drying of the soil. If possible, set the plants on a cloudy day or just before nightfa". When tile soil Is very dry it is advisable tc use a little water in the hole. The water should be applied when the hole is partially tilled with soil, and the moist earth should then be covered with dry soil to prevent baking. Plants should be set a trido deeper in the gardon than they were in the plant bed. Pack the soil thoroughly around the plants, st) as to avoid air spaces. PLAN INCREASED EGG YIELD Use of T r a p Nest and Selection of Well-Defined L a y i n g Hens W i l l Prove Profitable. j If all of our povtUvymen would trnp- I iv.'1 st their bens for two or three years | and keep nothing but well-defined laying strains of hens, the egg yield of the country would be doubled and the feed | bids for the poultry greatly reduced. !

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

The world has a surplus of other materials, it would seem, from .statistics, and yet the foundation stone of conservation will extend throughout the fashionable clothes "for the period of the war." The fundamental idea of saving has so penetrated the cousdousru-ss o r o u r people, t h e propaganda is s o widespread and vital, writes Aiine UiUen- Jersey frock for young girl. It is of black a n d white silk jersey with bands of black velvet embroidered in silver. There a r e long, loose sleeves. louse, t h a t the historian of the future will surely look with extraordinary interest upon the psychological change that took place in 1 (JO,000,000 people in eight months. There a r e changes fn a nation t h a t do not create surprise when they a r e thrust upon it by an invading army in war, but the change in America is one of spirit. There Is money a-plenty, men hy the millions, Industries a t full speed, and yet, with wealth and resources, 100,000,000 people have turned a somersault in their attitude toward material possessions. The passion for conservation wiped Slim Little Clothes. out of existence the fashion for flowing robes made of plenteous material. Whenever a slim silhouette h a s been thrust into the fashions, whenever an extremely short and narrow skirt ha* been offered to women, critics galore have risen in their bickerings and denounced women as immodest, indecent and vain to the uttermost degree. There is no such bickering today, however. T h e critics- of women's clothes remain silent. A m a n looks (rppraislngly a t a woman gowned in a conservation costume and nods h i s head i a approval, a s tnoujh afte carried a flag. Coats a r e short when n V v batons; fo suits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Provisions of t h e c o m m i t t e e compromise, fixing t h e compensation of railroads to t h e three-year basis, providing t h e $500,000,000 revolving fund appropriation, authorizing t h e president to initiate rates subject to inters t a t e commerce commission veto, and limiting government control to IS m o n t h s after t h e war, all were retained by t h e senate. Director General McAdoo h a s opposed t h e legislation for t h e "short lines" on t h e ground t h a t no railroads except those selected a s necessary t o government unification a n d successful operation should be brought within federal direction and aid.

"And I put out these white dresses for you to wear, and-—" "Gracious, a u n t i e ! They button in the buck and have sixty buttons apiece. We'll never have time to fasten them," expostulated Carol, without diminishing her speed. "I'll button while you powder, that'll be time enough." "I won't have time to powder," coiled back Carol from t h e bathroom, where she was splashing the water at a reckless rate. "I'll wear a veil and powder when T pet there. Did you pack any clean handkerchiefs, auntie? I'm clear out. If you didn't p u t any in, you'd better go and borrow Connie's. Lucky thing she's not here." Shining with zeal and soap, Carol dashed out, a n d Lark dashed in. "Are there any holes in these stockings?" Carol turned around, lifting her skirts for Inspection. "Well, I'm sorry, I won't have time to change them. Did they come in the auto? Cood !" She was brushing h e r hair a s she talked. "Yes, we had a luncheon, nil pie. though. We played tennis this m o r n i n g ; we were intending to come home right along, or we'd have phoned you. We were playing with C.eorge Castle and Fritxte Zale.—la it sticking out any place?" S h e lowered her head backward for her mint to see. "Stick a pin In it, will you? Thanks. They dared us to go to the pie counter and see which couple could e a t t h e most pieces of lemon pie, the couple which lost paying for all t h e pio. I t ' s not like betting, you k n o w ; it's a kind of reward of merit, like a Sundayschool prize. No, I won't p u t on my slippers till t h e last thing, my heel's •ore, my tennis shoe rubbed the skin off. My feet seem to be getting tender. TW»k l f s old age?" Lark now emerged from the bathroom, a n d both twins performed a flying exchange of dresses. "Who won?" "Lark and George a t e eleven pieces, and Fritzie and I only nine. So Fritzie paid. Then wo went on t h e campus and played mumble-te-peg, or whatever you call it. It is French, auntie." "Did they ask us to stay a whole week, a u n t i e ? " inquired Lark. "Yes.

"They have about sixteen rooms, and two maids—they call them 'girls'—and electric lights, and a private w a t e r supply, and—and—horses, a n d cows—oh. it's g r e a t ! We've always been awfully fond of Jim. T h e nicest thing about him is that he always t a k e s a girl frome when h e goes to class things and Hocials.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rumania Pays High for Peace. Amsterdam -A preliminary peace freaty between Rumania and the Central powers was signed March 5, sa\e a dispatch from Bucharest. Under the terms of the preliminary peace agrement, Rumania cedes the province of Dobrudja as far as the Danube to the central powers. Rumania also undertakes to further the transport of Teuton troops through Moldavia and Bessarabia to Odessa.

Washington -Plans to break up the rast holdings of German interests In the United States and place them in other hand*, so that after the war they cannot continue to be what have been characterized as "outposts of German kultur in America," were presented to congress by A. Mitchell Palmer, the alien property custodian, and unanimously approved by the senate appropriations committee. Mr. Palmer asked and the committer agreed, that legislation" should be attached to the ur*eot deficiency bill empowering him to sell these propoities to any private interests—but not to the United States government, the proceeds to be held in the treasury until after the war. Whether the Gtermaa owners will receive the money would be determined by the peace terms. American property ia Germany, the committee was told, ia subject to soch actio*. The value of German property suK Jee4-re- such dlspoatstloa would run into the hundreds of millions. Lansing -At a meeting with Henry Ford, members of the state war board entered into a contract for 1,000 "Fordson" farm tractors at $750 each, f. o. b. Detroit. This will make the price of the machine which the war board, through its county organization, delivers to the farmer, about $765. An accompanying deal by the war board is for "plow bottoms." These are the most important implement used in connection with the tractors. The plow bottom to be bought is two ploughshares fabricated together so as to plough two furrows 28 inches wide and eight inches deep. The magnitude of the deal while in financial figures reaching close to a million dollars, ia tremendous from the standpoint of big acreage. The Fordson tractors, according to the makers, will plow an acre an hour. With 1,000 tractors busy in the state this would mean 10.000 acres an hour, or 100,000 acres a day of 10 hours. But, as State Treasurer Odell put it to Mr. Ford, the tractors could be operated longer than 10 hours a day and the acreage plowed could rapidly mount into th millions.

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

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

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

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

Eftry Afilltble Tillable Aore Mutt Contribute; Every Available Farmer and Farm Hand Must Assist Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seeding operation. Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bushels; the Oemind From Canada Aione for 1918 Is 400,000,000 Bushels To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. Whenever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied, WO warn to direct him there. Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can Wet serve the combined interests. Western Canada's help will be required not later than April Sth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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