After a fine dinner, served by the board of commerce in their hall, the boys rested and at 3:30 gave an exhibition of real soldiery at the opera house. This exhibtion consisted of the various evolutions, setting up ex ercises, signal drills, with buzzers, flags, waving arms, etc. accompanied by a lectnre by one of the officers. Then a demonstration of machine gaa.drill, setting up and taking down, loading and firing was accomplished, and commanded the most intense interest of the large audienee. At its close the machine gun company went through their whole drill blindfolded, showing that they could be efficient on the darkest night, and elicited cheer after from the audience. Not the least part of the entertainment was the music rendered by the 338th regimental band composed of a band master, C. Sibley, proprietor of the Pinckney Dispatch, and about fifty other good musicans. They interspersed their fine music with the various drills and exercises and were encorad [many times by the delighted audience. In the evening the drills and exhibitions were repeated after which "Sib" had a short leave of absence which oportunity he improved by taking the first car to Flint where he had a very pressing engagement.

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

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

EARLY AMBER IS THE BEST Is Early Maturing Variety and So is Most Suited to Michigan Climatic Conditions. From Department of Farm Crops Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—One of the many interesting minor effects of the war upon Michigan agriculture which tn the southern and central counties of the state appears to be quite general, is a growing demand among fanners for sorghum seed. This demand has already assumed such unprecedented proportions that many seedmen are forecasting that if It continues, as now seems not unlikely, the visible (April) supply will all of It be melted away long before the planting season arrives. Sorghum, as a crop both for forage and sirup-making is, however, by no means a new one in Michigan. There was a time not so long ago in fact when the sorghum press, where the juice was squeezed out of the cane, was just as common a feature In Michigan's rural communities as the cider mill—and for that matter there are still some sections where farmers raise sorghum to supply sweets for the family table. But there will be many more farms upon which this will be done this season, for with sugar dally growing scarcer and commanding a price, which compels the utmost economy, corn sorghum sirup will find a /welcome place on the family table, and a ready sale on* the market. The seed corn shortage ts at the same time causing many other farmers to consider the advisability of putting in sorghum as a forage crop—though the dearth of sorghum seed is almost as pronounced, if not more so, than is the seed corn shortage. What and When to Plant. Sorghums are planted from ten days to two weeks after corn, for the seeds are small, and If the ground is cold they do not germinate well and a poor stand results. Early amber, an early maturing variety, is probably the best adapted to Michigan conditions. The land Is prepared for sorghum in much the same way as for core. The crop makes a slow growth at first and it is essential to get rid of as many weeds as possible before planting. For sirup the rows are drilled 88 to 42 inches apart with a corn planter, using 6 to 8 pounds of seed per acre. The method of cultivation Is the same as for corn. The first cultivation can be given with spike tooth harrow, and is quite effective in killing young weeds. The next cultivation should be with shovels or sweeps, deeply the first time ,with two or three shallow cultivations following. Harvesting For 8irup. Sorghum increases in percentage of sugar as well as In total dry matter nntil it is mature. From the early dough stage until the hard dough stage Is the right time for sirup making. If the seeds become hard there is danger of frost before all of the canes are made up, while If the seeds are in the milk stage an acid sirup with an unripe taste Is produced. For best results the leaves are stripped while canes are standing. The need head, with six or eight Im ies of the upper cane should be cut off, as this part contains many impurities. Suckers should be discarded for the same reason. Canes may be cut by hand, or with the corn binder. In warm weather canes should not be cut more than two days before using as there is danger of fermentation. When a heavy frost occurs the sorghum should be cut and placed In large shocks at once. A heavy freeze will do but little damage provided the canes can be worked up at once upon thawing but after thawing they will spoil In a very short time. A ton of canes will yield 500 to 1,000 pounds of juice which will make 8 to 25 gallons of sirup. Four to eight tons of canes per acre Is a good yield. Making Sirup. The sirup manufacturing process consists of three main stages—(1) Extraction of Juice; (2) clarification of raw Juice and (8) evaporation of Juice. The extraction is done by passing the cane between rollers. Two-roller and three-roller mills can be purchased. Seventy to 80 per cent of the canes are water, but It Is not possible to obtain all of this as juice. With a threeroller mill 50 per cent of the weight of the cane should be obtained unless the cane Is very hard and dry. The canes after being passed through the mill can be need for roughage. Oftencomes from the mill should be nm through a strainer made of fine wire (the same as is used for straining milk) into a settling tank or barrel, ulao used for storage. There should be three tanks, one being tilled, while one la being emptied and the third settling. Raw Juice holds in solutions a number of Impurities, which on standing slowly settle out. These are good hog feed. Some makers provide special tanks and cla«ify by heating. The temperature of the juice is brought nearly to the boiling point and then the heat Is turned off and the juice allowed to stand for a short time. The clear layer is then drawn off tor evaporation. This process is to be preferred since heat hastens clarlheation. Evaporation. A patent pan evaporator can be bought on the market. Do not put too much sirup In the evaporator at once as a thin layer (about two inches) makes a quicker evaporation and allows the impurities to reach the surface more easily and less color Is developed. If an ordinary gutter is placed alongside the pan when installed, the scum can be raked off into this. In starting a patent evaporator have water in all parts and heat this until the juice enters. The finished sirup upon cooling should have a moisture content of not over 30 per eent. One gallon should weigh not less than 11¼ pounds. As the liquid thickens the boiling point Is raised. Water at ordinary pressure bolls a t 212 degrees Fahrenheit, while a sugar solution containing not more than 30 per cent of water bolls at about 224 degrees Fahrenheit. When the boiling point changes from 212 degrees to 224 degrees the product is ready to remove from the fire. If an accurate thermometer is placed in the boiling sirup a rough estimate of the density of the product can be made. In taking the temperature do not allow the bulb of the thermometer to touch the bottom or sides of the evaporator or be exposed above the surface of the liquid. When the sirup has reached the proper density it should be removed from the fire and rapidly cooled. If cooled it makes a lighter sirup and a better grade. The sirup can be placed in tin, glass or wooden containers but these should be well scalded before using. Sorghum for Forage. Since the foliage of sorghums remains green until the heads are mature, a fair quality of coarse forage Is secured. The time of planting is the same as for simp, that is, ten days to two weeks after corn planting time. Sorghum for forage Is either sown thick in drill rows about 3 feet 6 inches apart at rate of 15 pounds seed per acre and cultivated, or sown with the grain drill or broadcast at the rate of one bushel per acre. When cultivated in rows the best method of harvesting is with a corn binder and the bundles set up in small shocks may be set together in a large shock and tied near the top. When sown broadcast the crop Is cut with a mower or grain binder and handled as coarse hay. When cut with a mower a stubble of six inches should be left as this facilitates drying and gathering the heavy fodder with a hay rake. Heavy sorghum hajr dries very slowly and should be left for one or two weeks In swath before raking and cocking- and should be thoroughly cured in cocks before stacking. The average yield carries from 4 to 8 tons per acre. COUNTRY PASTORS TO MEET Annusl Conference W i l l Be Conducted at M. A. C — T a k e Up W a r Problems, East Lansing, Mich.—Country pastors of the state—and there are many hundred of them—will assemble at the Michigan Agricultural college on July 8 to 15 for their annual conference, it is announced by Prof. B. EL Ryder. In this conference, which will be interdenominational in character, and an invitation to which is being sent out to every rural clergyman in the state, questions having to do with the work of the church In country communities will be taken up as was done In the assembly a year ago. A number of men of high reputation in church affairs of the country sruch as Dean E. I. Bosworth of Oberlln college; Dean Shaler Matthews of" the University of Chicago, Dr. Warren H. Wilson of New York city, and Bishop T. S. Henderson of Detroit will cooperate with the faculty of the eolP lege In the week's sessions. The general theme of the conference will be T h e Church in Time of Peace and War." A new feature of the conference this year will be a short course for rural ministers, running from July 8 to 20.

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

Subscriptions to Liberty Loan, Investment in Thrift Stamps, Contributions of Clothing, Conservation of Food Necessary to Win. (By GELETT BURQE88 of the Vigilantes and the Prophet Isaiah.) Yes, I, too, saw them, many I saw, Indoors and out, at the theater and at the rink, knitting, oh no, not khaki gray, but the gay colors of frivolity, knitting pink and yellow and white; knitting sweaters, sweaters, God help them, for their own soft shoulders. Yet In the trenches of France our soldiers are shivering, shivering, freezing for gray, gray, GRAY! And thou saldst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of t t Waste makes want and want makes woe I Does not England already know? It has gone from Spend to Save, from Scrimp to Starve. Do you know, oh careless daughters, that there even the garbage cans are inspected for waste?—that one is fined for throwing away a slice of hread? Yet here often more food is wasted at one dinner than would feed a family. Yes, wasted today—but what of tomorrow? Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of Joy in the Joyous city. Ice cream sodas and cakes and confectionery, hats, bags and hosiery— do you, too, watch and wonder how the young girls fling away the future? Yet, still uncared-for, the orphans of France and Belgium, Serbia, thousands wait suffering to be fed. And OUR orphans—when the great shock falls—shall they, to, not need all that we can save? Therefore hear now this, thou that are given to pleasure, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest In thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children. It Is so easy to do—to save. It 1» so hurd to do—to supply what prodigality has squandered. It is so simple to do—to lend what we save to the government that our neighbor's fate may be averted or diminished. Now, now, NOW! Must our sluggards, male and female have to go to the ant to take heed—to comprehend how, If each lays up grain of provision agnlnst want, the whole hill shall be saved? Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women : for the vintage shall fall, the gathering shall not come. Every cent selfishly, thoughtlessly spent, robs sufferers abroad, robs our soldiers, robs our own future. Every cent patriotically lent to Thrift campaign or Liberty Loan, brings peace nearer—nearer! Rise up, ye women that are at ease: hear ray voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. WE MUST HANG TOGETHER (By THEODOSIA GARRISON of the Vigilantes.) Said Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, putting down the pen with which he had Just signed the Declaration of Independence: "Gentlemen, we must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately." In a single phrase he combined an epigram, a warning, a declaration of faith and, incidentally, framed a motto for the present generation. The value of team work for the national good is unquestioned; the value of the individual beyond the share he contributes to the general power Is negligible. This undented fact acknowledged by everybody and more often quoted than applied, waited to be demonstrated in its entirety by the Imperial German government who, after Its fashion, lost no time In claiming it as a personal discovery, marking It with the "Made In Germany" Rtamp and promptly christening It "efficiency." Mind you, it is the German governm e n t that has made Its people efficient and tfiftt hy the simple and direct method of the-brutal overseer who lashed a gang of slaves iBto^the perfect workmen that produced tfce 1Q0 per cent result he desired. The Individual who with all his heart wishes a certain thing accomplished doesn't have to be whipped Into his work, and the difference between slavery and freedom, between autocracy and democracy, lies in that-Individual himself. "The nation," says President Wilson, "needs all men, but It needs each man, not in the field that will most pleasure htm, but in the endeavor that will best *erve the common good." ^ ; - * - ft 3i* PINCKNEV DISPATCH WED I I TOP MAilDKM S0LHER WHO WENT * * AffillGUYffiPtY MAdlNE GUN[ia,XRYINGIM fBAHCE ' ©JSI7 BY AATmX tin tttfEY "SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE" EMPEY FIRST HEARS THE BIG GUNS BOOMING.

The next morning the captain sent for me and Informed me: "Empey, as a recruiting sergeant you are a washoat," and 'sent me to a training depot- After arriving at this place, I was hustled to the quartermaster stores and received an awful shock. The quartermaster sergeant spread a waterproof sheet on the ground and commenced throwing a miscellaneous assortment of straps, buckles and other paraphernalia into It. I thought he would never stop, but when the pile reached to my knees he paused long enough to say, "Next, No. 5217, 'Arris, B company." I gased in bewilderment at the pile of Junk In front of me, and then my eyes wandered around looking for the wagon which was to carry it to barracks. I was rudely brought to earth by the "quarter" exclaiming, 44'Ere, you, 'op It; tyke It aw'y; blind ray eyes, V s looking for 'is batman to 'elp 'lm carry It." Struggling under the load, with frequent pauses for rest, I reached our barracks (large car barns), and my platoon leader came to the rescue. It was a marvel to me how quickly he assembled the equipment. After he had completed the task, he showed me how to adjust It on my person. Pretty soon I stood before him a proper Tommy Atkins in heavy marching order, feeling like an overloaded camel. On my feet were heavy-soled boots, studded with hobnails, the toes and heels of which were re-enforced by steel half-moons. My legs were Incased In woolen puttees, olive drab in color* with my trousers overlapping thetn at the top. Then a woolen khaki tunic, under which was a bluish gray woolen shirt, minus a collar; beneath this shirt a woolen belly band about six inches wide, held in place by tie strings of white tape. On my head was a heavy woolen trench %cap, with hnge earlaps buttoned over the top. Then the equipment: A canvas belt with ammunition pockets; and two wide canvas straps like suspenders, called "D" straps, fastened to the belt in front, passing over each shoulder, crossing in the middle of my back, and attached by buckles to the rear of the belt On the right side of the belt hung a water bottle, covered with felt; on the left side was my bayonet and scabbard, and intrenching tool handle, this handle strapped to the bayonet scabbard. In the rear was my intrenching tool, carried In a canvas case. This tool was a combination pick and spade. A canvas haversack was strapped to the left side of the belt while on my back was the pack, also of canvas, held in place by two canvas straps over the shoulders; suspended on the bottom of the pack was my mess tin*or canteen in a neat little canvas case. My waterproof sheet, looking like a Jelly roll, was strapped on top of the pack, with a wooden stick for cleaning the breach of the rifle projecting from each end. On a lanyard around my waist hung a huge Jackknife with a can-opener attachment The pack contained my overcoat sn extra pair of socks, change of underwear, hold all (containing knife, fork, spoon, comb, toothbrush, lather brush, shaving soap, and a rasor made of tin, with "Made In England** stamped on the blade; when trying to shave with this It made yon wish that yon were at war with Patagonia, so that yon could have a "hollow ground** stamped "Made In Germany"); then your bouse, wife, button-cleaning outfit consisting of a brass button stick, two stiff brashes, and a box of "Soldiers* Friend** paste; then a shoe brush and a box of dubbin, a writing pad. Indelible pencil, envelopes, and pay book, and personal belongings, such as a •man mirror, a decent rasor and a sheaf of unanswered letters, and fags. In your haversack yon carry your iron rations, meaning a tin of buHy boat; four Weentts and a can containing tea. sugar and Oxo cubes; a couple of pipes and a pack of shag, a tin of rifle oil, and a pull-through. Tommy generally carries the oil with his rations; It gives the cheese a sort of sardine taste. Add to this a first-aid pouch and a long, ungainly rifle patterned after the Daniel Boone period, and you have an Idea of a British soldier In Blighty. Before leaving for France, this rifle is taken from him and he Is issued with a Lee-Enfleld short trench rifle and a ration bag. In France he receives two gas helmets, a sheepskin coat, rubber mackintosh, steel helmet, two blankets, tearshell goggles, a balaclava helmet gloves and a tin of antlfrostblte grease which Is excellent for greasing the boots. Add to this the weight of his rations, and can you blame Tommy for growling at a twenty-kilo route march? Having served as sergeant major in the United States cavalry, I tried to tell the English drill sergeants their business, but It did not work. They immediately put me as batman In their mesa. Many a greasy dish of stew was accidentally spilled over them. I would sooner fight than be a waiter, so when the order came through from headquarters calling for a draft of 250 re-enforcements for France, I volunteered. Then we went before the M. O. (medical officer) for another physical examination. This was very brief. He asked our names and numbers and The Author's Identification Disk. said "Fit" and we went out to fight We were put Into troop trains and sent to Southampton, where we detrained, and had our trench rifles Issued to us. Then (n columns of twos we went up the gangplank of a little steamer lying alongside the dock. At the head of the gangplank there was an old sergeant who directed that we line ourselves along both rails of the shin. Then he ordered ns to take life belts from the racks overhead and pot them on. I have crossed the ocean several times and knew I was not seasick, but when I buckled on that life belt I had a sensation of sickness. After we got out Into the stream ah I could think of was that there were a million German submarines with a tor* pedo on each, across the warhead of which was Inscribed my name and ad- After five hours we came alongside a pier and disembarked. I had attained another one of my ambitions. I was "somewhere in France** We slept In the open that night on the side of the road. Abort atx the next morning wv ware ordered to entrain. 1 looked around for the coaches, but all I could bee ou the aiding were cattle cars. We climbed Into these. On the side of each car was a sign reading "Hommes 40, Cheveaux 8." When we got Inside of the cars, we thought that perhaps the sign painter had reversed the order of things. .After 48 hours in these trucks we detrained at Kouen. At this place we went through an Intensive training for ten days. The training consisted of the rudiments of trench warfare. Trenches had been dug, with barbed wire entanglements, bombing saps, dugouts, observation posts and machine gun emplacements. We were given a smattering of trench cooking, sanitation, bomb throwing, reconnoltering, listening posts, constructing and repairing barbed wire, "carrying in" parties, methods used In attack and defense, wiring parties, mass formation, and the procedure for poison-gas attacks. On the tenth day we again met our friends "Hommes 40, Cheveaux 8." Thirty-six hours more of misery, and we arrived at the town of F . After unloading our rations and equipment we lined up on the road In columns of fours waiting for the order to march. A dull rumbling could be heard. The sun was shining. I turned to the man on my left and asked, "What's the noise, Bill?" He did not know, but his face was of a pea-green color. Jim, on my right also did not know, but suggested that I "awsk" the sergeant Coming towards us was an old grizzled sergeant, properly fed up with the war, so I "awsked" him. "Think it's going to rain, sergeant?" He looked at me In contempt and grunted, " 'Ow's It a-goln* ter rain with the bloomin' sun a-shlnin'?" I looked guilty. "Them's the guns up the line, me lad, and you'll get enough of 'em before you gets back to Blighty." My knees seemed to wilt, and I squeaked out a weak "Oh!" Then we started our march up to the line In ten-kilo treks. After the first day's march we arrived at our rest billets. In France they call them rest billets, because while in them Tommy works seven days a week and on the eighth day of the week he Is given twenty-four hours "on his own." Our billet was a spacious affair, a large barn on the left side of the road, which had one hundred entrances, ninety-nine for shells, rats, wind and rain, and the hundredth one for Tommy. I was tired out, and using my shrapnel-proof helmet (shrapnel proof until a piece of shrapnel hits it), or tin hat for a pillow, lay down in the straw, and was soon fast asleep. I must have slept about two hours, when I awoke with a prickling sensation all over me. As I thought the straw had worked through my uniform. I woke up the fellow lying on my left, who had been up the line before, and asked him: "Does the straw bother you, mate? It's worked through my uniform and I can't sleep." In a sleepy voice he answered, "That ain't straw, them's cooties." From that time on my friends the "cooties" were constantly with me, "Cooties," or body lice, are the bane of Tommy's existence. The aristocracy of the trenches very seldom call them "cooties," they speak of them as fleas. To an American flea means a small insect armed with a bayonet who is wont to jab it into you and then hopskip and Jump to the next place to be attacked. There is an advantage In having fleas on you Instead of "cooties" in that In one of his extended jumps said flea is liable to land on the fellow next to you; he has the typical energy and push of the American, while the "cootie" has the bulldog tenacity of the Englishman; he holds on and consolidates or digs in until his meal Is finished. There Is no way to get rid of them permanently. No matter how often you bathe, and that Is not very often. or how many times you change your underwear, your friends the "cooties'* are always in evidence. The billets are Infested with them, especially so If there is straw on the floor. I have taken a bath and put on brand-new underwear; in fact a complete change of uniform, and then turned in for the night The next morning my shirt would be full of them. It Is a common sight to see eight or ten soldiers sitting under a tree with their shirts over their knees engaging In a "shirt hunt" At night about half an hour before "lights out" you can see the Tommies grouped around a candle, trying, in Its dim light to rid their underwear of the vermin. A popular and very quick method 1s to take your shirt and drawers, and run the seams back and forward In the flame from a candle and burn them o u t This practice Is dangerous, because yon are liable to burn holes In the garments If yon are not careful. - Recruits generally sent to Blighty for a brand of Insect powder advertised as "Good for body lice." The advertisement Is quite right; the powder la good for "cooties;" they simply thrive on It The older men of oar battalion were wiser and made eeratchers out of wood. These were robbed smooth wltk a bit of sioue or sand to pieveui spliu lers. They were about eighteen laches long, and Tommy guarantees that a scratcher of this length will" reach any part of the body which may be attacked. Some of the fellows were lazy and only made their scratchers twelve Inches, but many a night when on gxiard, looking over the top from the tire step of the front-line trench, they would have given a thousand "quid' for the other six inches. Once while we were in rest billets an Irish Hussar regiment camped In an open field opposite our billet. After they had picketed and fed their horses, a general shirt hunt took place. The troopers Ignored the call "Dinner up." and kept on with tN*Ir search for big game. They had » wtflous method of procedure. They hunfe «Se*4r shirts over a hedge and beat them wtjj their entrenching tool handles. I asked one of them why they didn't pick them off by hand, and he answered, "We haven't had a bath for nine weeks or a change of clubber. If I tried to pick the 'cooties' off my shirt, I would be here for duration of war." After taking a close look at his shirt I agreed with him ; it was alive. In the next installment Sergeant Empey tell of the realization of his ambition—his arrival In a first line trench—and of how he wished he were back In Jersey City. (TO B E CONTINUED.) PLENTY OF STORAGE PLACES Woman Who Has Made Home Into a Veritable "House of a Thousand Closets.1* One little woman living not far from New York, says Harriet Slsson Gillespie In the Mother's Magazine, has been able by the expenditure of a moderate gum of money to transform an Impracticable closetless dwelling Into one In which housekeeping Is not only a pleasure, but where the problem of storing away clothing has been satisfactorily solved. Among her friends It Is known as "the house of a thousand closets,** which Is nearly If not literally true. Every little cubby hole below the shingles has been utilized for closet space. There are banks of closers on both the second and attic floors, to sny nothing of a cedar closet with sun and air and electric light, for the reception of the owner's choicest possessions. Some of the closets are cedar lined, others sheathed with matched boards of North Carolina pine, well shellacked to keep out the moths and frequently sprayed with a liquid In which oil of cedar plays a part. A printed list of every article contained in the drawers and cupboards Is tacked in plain sight In order that the frantic search for Inanimate things that seem suddenly to have taken wings and flown away, may be entirely obviated. New Southern Industry. The advantages of New Orleans as a port were emphasised in the opening of a canning factory for the distribution of real green-sea turtles. With the exception of a small factory at Key West, It will be the only establishment of Its kind In America. The factory has been situated at Miami, Fla., but the excessive freight rates and a lack of steamer service to Central American porta led to Its removal to Bay St. Louis. It will handle nothing but greensea turtles caught In Central American waters, and these will be put up In fodr different forms—clear green turtle soup, thick green turtle soup, turtle beef In Creole style, and "calllpee," which is the meat of the turtle taken from the breast, back and flippers. The factory will turn out about 15,000 cans a day, or a total of 700,000 pounds n year, including all products. There is also a by-product called turtle oil, used medicinally.—Fishing Gazette. Japanese M8teel Queen1* Retires. Mrs. Teruko Nakamura of Osaka, popularly known as **The Steel Queen," has announced her retirement from business. She Intends to travel about the empire giving free film shows for the better education of the masses. She is making elaborate preparations to instruct the uneducated about the peoples of other nations of the world. Her views of American cities are especially extensive and well selected. Her efforts will be concentrated on the factory towns, where much ignorance exists. Mrs. 'Nakamura Is thirty-four years old and has been a widow for eight years.

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

They believe that the soul is an unwilling prtsoner within us, and the moment we relax our vigil in sleep It leaves the body to attend to Its own affairs and some of us possess the faculty of commanding the soul at a given hour when we wish to awake. From this originates the theory of heaven and hell. When the long sleep comes at last and the soul Is bodyleae It must tiud some sort of lodging, and this lodging Is meted out according to the conduct of the body in which the soul was a tenant. The body Is not taken into consideration, since it Is only the tool of the soul. Therefore the soul is held accountable.—Exchange.

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

Paris—German troops numbering well over 100,000 delivered a terrific attack on April 4, against the French along a front of nearly nine miles, from Grivesnes to north of the AmiensRoye road. They were met with a storm of fire from the French guns and, although the assaults were repeated time after time, they succeeded in gaining only a small section of ground. The announcement by the war office of this offensive also says by a powerful counter-attack the French made progress between Montididier and Lesalgay. Teaching Children Natural History. The approved method of teaching very young children Is to disguise the instruction under the clonk of amuse? ment. An Interesting development In the carrying out of this idea Is found in the sand pictures of Walter A. Ward, which nve described in the Poj>- ulnr Science Monthly. Cardboards covered^ with colored pictures of animals are given to the chitdreu together with bottles containing the variously colored sand. The children paint the body of the animals with glue, and then carefully cover the colored portions of the animal bodies with the appropriate colors of sand. Meatless Days.

He may be a manufacturer, a retail merchant, a mechanic of a banker—no matter what he is, he depends for his very existence, not only upon those who till the soil and deal in its products, but also and to the same extent upon the great organizations of manufacture, transportation, communication and finance which are scattered about all over the earth.

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

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

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

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

This manner of bracing, when the sides of the building are tied together by the boarding, make* a very solid structure up to the. plates. There are a great many bolts used In this-diagonal brace work. In fact, plank frame barn construction has led to the use of bolts quite generally. Above the plates the design and construction of this barn are also especialy Interesting to farmers. The curved aire asked the little girl during the holidays.

A monster inventory has been made of all food resources In the United States, and now Uncle Sam is in a fair way to know what food stocks he has on hand to last over until next season's crops come In, how much food he can spare for the allies, and how sparingly he should make use of It at home. Under an act of congress approved by the president August 10, 1917, the secretary of agriculture was authorized to Investigate and ascertain the demand for, the supply, consumption, costs and prices of, and the basic facts relating to the ownership, production, transportation, manufacture, storage and distribution of foods, food materials and any articles required In connection with the production, distribution or utilization of food. An appropriation was- granted for the survey, and within a week after the bill had been signed by the president schedules were in outgoing mails to food merchants and manufacturers. Here are some facts regarding the correspondence which formed the basis of the nation-wide food inventory, The master list which was compiled by the bureau of markets was made up of 525,000 names. There were 18,000 grain, flour and feed dealers; 1,200 brewers, 800 distillers, 6,500 canners of fruits, vegetables and sea foods; 1,400 refiners and dealers In edible oils, 1,- 300 sugar and syrup refiners, 32,000 wholesale and retail bakers, 1,040 fish freezing plants, and so on through the hundred or more classified food trades. A huge force of clerks was kept busy mailing schedules and sorting, editing and classifying the returned reports. The whole master list was more than duplicated by follow up letters and letters giving special information. The inventory covered 86 leading food Item's and brought in complete returns of the year's harvests. Four general classes of commodities were covered : First, quantities of raw products on the farms, such as grain, live stock, poultry, eggs and honey; second, stocks of food products nearer the consuming stage in manufacturing, jobbing, wholesale, storage and other commercial establishments; third, stocks in small retail establishments; fourth, food supplies on the shelves nnd in the bins of the family pantry. Done Largely by Mail. The most important part of Uncle Snni's stock taking job was done by correspondence with food dealers and makers. But it was not possible to Inventory all food stocks by mail. There were 163,000 small retail grocers who, through inability to read or understand English, were unable to carry out the instructions of the schedule. It would have been quite impossible to inventory each one of these small concerns by personal canvass. Therefore the bureau resorted to estimates based <m a detailed survey of representative counties. As a basis of selection for these type counties, all the counties In the United States were divided into seven groups according to the size of the largest village, town or city contained in each. The first group consisted of 26 metroimlitan districts, In a number of Instances embracing all or parts of Severn 1 counties; the second group contained 19 Smaller. metmpoUtan dia- &7f>Loy£v orsu^£xua^/t^?/<£7Zf^rM^M o^Jtxx>ouj^y£r trlcts and adjacent territory having cities of from 100,000 to 200,000 population ; the third group contained counties having cities of from 26,000 to 50,- 000; in the seventh group there were 1,639 counties which had no village so large as 2,500. The survey work in cities was done by the bureau of chemistry through its food and drug inspectors and state and local health officials and inspectors. These representatives went from store to store and left with proprietor or manager schedules of all possible staples, with the request that they be filled out In 48 hours. In many parts of the larger cities, especially in the poorer districts, the police had to explain to the grocers that the law required them to fill out the schedule and that they were liable to a penalty for failure to do so. The survey covered the stocks on farms and in the 22,000,000 households of the United States. The bureau of crop estimates, with Its existing army of crop reporters, attended to the farm stocks. The total number of returns exceeded 300,000. Household Inventory Made. To catch in the net for food information the 22,000,000 households In the United States was a stupendous task. As it was Impossible to approach each one of these households, 44,000 families, representative of the entire population as to place of residence, family income and occupation were studied* In detail and estimates derived from these figures covered with a fair degree of accuracy the entire country. The aim of the household survey was to get a fairly accurate idea of the food stocks in individual households, supplementary to certain data sent In from coM storage concerns and making complete returns as to the quantity of preserved meats, eggs, fruits and vegetables in the country. Secondarily the schedule found out how much of certain staple commodities were being used, and checked up by means of inquiries on the comparative amounts of certain foods consumed during the last two years on the ability of the average American family to follow out conservation food measures which have been recommended. * A vital phase of the household survey was the inquiry into milk production and the various ways in which this valuable food product is utilized. The schedule to be filled out by householders was divided *lnto four sections: Section 1, Meats preserved for home use this winter and last. Section 2. Fruits, vegetables and eggs preserved for home use for 1917 and 191«. Section 3. Total quantity of milk produced, consumed and sold under the following items per average week during the last year: 1, whole milk; 2,.cream; 9, skimmed m i l k - quantity fed to animals and quantity used in household. Section 4 covered the total quantity of 34 leading foods consumed during the calendar year 1917 and the estimated consumption of certain of these 34 leading foods during 1916 in order to see to what extent families have been able to use substitute foods in the present emergency. Dietary Investigation Aids. Dietary investigations were made by Doctor Langworthy of the division of home economics which dovetail with the more sweeping household inventory of the federal food survey. Doctor Langworthy conducted an Intensive research Into the quantities and kinds of foods used in a number of selected families. These figures will bring up to date dietary Investigations made In the same division under Doctor Atwater's regime, and which up to the present time huve been the only statistics available as a basis for dietary calculations, even for those of the Royal British commission. The practical results of this survey will, It is believed, be of great value. For instance, it will enable us to plan our crop production for the ensuing year with a degree of Intelligence which would be impossible without this definite and comprehensive survey. It would be difficult to find the owner of a factory who would plan out a producing program, without having a moderately accurate Idea of market demands, and stocks already on hand. We have been running our factory, so to speak, absolutely blind, without regard to orders or probable sales. It is ridiculous to urge greatly Increased production unless we can say and say with definlteness that there is a shortage and that the producer will be assured a moderate return for his labor. We are about to know for the first time by consideration of actual figures how we are situated with reference to our right to export the various commodities considering the needs of our own people. Again we shall know what we should substitute In the way of those things that are present in a plentiful supply for those which are not plentiful. Information to the effect that there Is a surplus of potatoes on the market will exert a leverage on the price fixer, and will encourage the Increased use of this specific food product At Increased consumption of potatoes means using leas bread. It Is a definite wheat conservation measure. We should know where we can use heavily and where lightly. Hoarding would be impossible. ""Charles J. Brand, who Is at the head of the nation's food Inventory, bolleres that a food survey taken annually, before the fall crops come In aad frst after they are in, will eventually bt> come an established custom, /sy MART Q^^msxm^ T H E V I L L A G E CLOCK.

What Is the socroi of this? The answer always is: Thai farmer has put money in his place." America is a great farming nation, as well as a great manufacturing na< tlon. It is wonderfully prosperous to* day. There are railways, bridges, factories, mills, workshops and school houses. All this shows we have put money Into It But there la today the shadow of war hanging over the entire land. The nation is In peril. Now Is the time of all times when money must be put Into this land of the free and the home of the brave if It Is to remain prosperous and hap* py. The purchase of Liberty bonds puts your money where It will do the most good in this grave crisis. Bo a Bond Salesman for Uncle Sam. When you have bought your bond, don't stop. Become s bond aalesmaq for your government and see to it that your neighbor buys a bond. Explain to him that you and he have to do this, as the soldier at the front has to fight. Russia failed to support Its army and its army failed to fight for Russia, and today Germany is taking over thousands of square miles of rich farming and mineral lands, title to which is held by Russians who will have their deeds considered mere scraps of paper by their conquerors. Buy bonds from your government and sell them for it. Make the United States a success Instead of a failure, like Russia. Farmer, Hired Man and Liberty Loan. Intelligent farmers know that a hired man does better work If he is bountifully fed, pleasantly housed and warmly clad. Uncle Sam today has abroad close to 1,000,000 hired men, engaged In the most toilsome and hazardous work. They cannot be fed. clothed and housed unless money is provided. The purchase of Liberty bonds provides the government with funds to finance this gigantic task. The men in the trenches must be cared for by the men at home. Give the boys the best we can afford.

The number who shall partake of this loan Is as important as the total amount subscribed.

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

London of Today a Marvel, Forming One of the Most Important War Centers of Entire World. A Rhodesian who has arrived In England to "join up." after service in! the three campaigns undertaken by the South Africans, assures me of his astonishment at the tact and thoroughness exhibited in the daily work of military police, says a writer in Westminster Gazette. The London of today is, indeed, a never-ending marvel to the colonial soldier. It forms one of the most Important military censers of the world. It Is Inhabited by a floating population drawn from one of the most cosmopolitan armies in history—an army, too, that Is in no way remarkable for the gentleness of its fighting methods when the game's afoot Yet, as my South African friend phrased it, "the whole mob goes about on Its business and Its pleasures like a small flock of contented sheep with a couple of welltrained dogs behind them." j Things were not always managed that way In the early days of the forces raised by the dominions In the first year of war. My informant Illustrates the contrast with an Incident that came under his notice while his \ regiment lay Intrenched at Swakpp- J mund during the "German Southwest" campaign. One morning the men of the Union advanced posts saw approaching them from the desert three living skeletons, who staggered like drunken men as they groped their way blindly through the furnace of sand. A comrade lay helpless n mile or so behind, too far gone to walk. He was brought in later, unconscious, but still alive. The four heroes—captives In the hands of the Hun—had preferred the chances of death to the grim certainty of a cruel and galling captivity, and had managed to escape from their jnllcrs under cover of darkness. Practically without food and, for the most part, without water, they hnd traveled some hundreds of miles—from one; end of the vast territory to the other. Almost naked, the ice-cold winds of night had crippled them, hun-> ger had robbed them of their; strength, and thirst had all hut driven j them to madness. They had escaped j "by the skin of their teeth" from \ both vengeful Huneand prowling lion. | And an officious military policeman; greeted them on their arrival-In the! British lines with the order that they I were not to loiter In the stieots of the town! on tne floor or fEe~g7ounTT because o w feet could not keep up with our am^ bltlon to run and "get there" right off \ grandmother, a lovely old down Bast; lady, would sing out to us: "Up again I Never mind!

Sam Jones has had the lurk of bad crops two or three years. Things have seemed against him. But he has been as brave as a Hon. No frost can ever come that froze the smile from his face or withered the hope in his heart t And he is right at it this year, Just as If he had had the best of luck all through the years. But I wonder who of his neighbors has been down to sing out to Sam: "Up ngaln, old man ! This is all right I You'll come out all right—can't help ltl" I don't know of anybody that has had time to look up from his own hoeing and plowing and digging long. enough to do that; It's a shame, tool Come on I Let's go down right now and cheer Sam up a bit! Maybe we. can give him a lift at the work, too. All the world will be the brighter for It after that—to Sam and to you and to me, writes Vincent in Farm Life, Great Zoological Parks. The zoological park of New York was established in 1866, and that of Chicago In 1868; but of the 83 cities of the United States reporting animal collections in 1916 only ten had begun such collections In 1890. One of the largest and most interesting gardens Is that of the New York Zoological society, which is a private corporation occupying about 155 acres of city-owned land In the Bronx gardens and Battery park. Of a total of 9,888 living creatures, of 1,381 different species, shown in the exhibits of this society on December 31, 1915, the mammals embraced 213 species; birds, 813; reptiles, 180; fishes, 140; amphibia, 14; and invertebrates, 21. The National Zoological park in Washington, under the direction of the Smithsonian institution, has a site of 160 acres. June 30,1915, the park contained 629 mammals of 151 different species, 696 birds of 185 species, and 72 reptiles of 22 sr^cles, making a total of L397 living creatures. •Us Again!"

But the size affords us only the means to estimate the age of younger fishes; as to the older, it cannot serve us as an indication of their age. since their growth may vary according to the different conditions of nutrition, so that often the younger fish will excel In size the much older fish. There is, however, at least ;i<* regards the fishes of the Northern seas, a sure indication that betrays their age. It IS the otolites, or ear stones. These ear stones grow as long as the fish itself continues to grow, and form annual rings In the manner of trees. The more annual rings shown by a fish's ear stones the greater its ago.

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

Flint—The teaching of German in the Flint public schools will be discontinued after the present semester* the school board has decided, in response to numerous protests received.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN A SUCCESS 8EVERAL MICHIGAN COUNTIE8 OVERSUBSCRIBE QUOTA FIR8T DAY. TO CALL 150,000 MEN IN APRIL First Quota of 8econd Draft to Be In Camp Before May 1. NATION FIRED WITH PATRIOTISM Anniversary of Country's Entrance In World War Celebrated With Fitting Demonstrations. Lansing—Michigan is going over the top in the third Liberty loan drive. Before the first day of the new loan campaign had ended Jackson, Ingham and Ionia counties in the lower peninsula had reported oversubscriptions totaling more than $500,000 in a combined quota of about $3,000,000. Jackson's had been taken before 10 o'clock Saturday morning; Ionia's had been pledged in advance by her bankers; Ingham's quota was snapped up without a bit of campaigning being done. Isabella county had subscribed practically its full quota of $261,000 before 5 o'clock Saturday night. Nottswa township, 98 per cent German families, took its full quota. Soldiers from Camp Custer aided in opening the drive in Battle Creek, and a number of other cities. In Lansing the chief of police appealed to the head of the state con* stabulary to help him keep American workmen from mobbing pro-Germans who might refuse to subscribe. One Russian was ducked in the Grand river for refusing to join a thrift club. In Ann Arbor the very first subscription entered was that of the Bethlehem German Evangelical Lutheran church. On the basis of returns from the cities, state loan committee officials declared that the state would easily over subscribe its qouta. Washington—One hundred and fifty thousand drafted men will be called out during April instead of 50,000, the quota originally determined upon for this month under the second draft. Orders to induct this number into the military service before May 1 have been issued by Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder. This decision by. the general staff was a definite step in President Wilson's program for speeding up assistance to the Allies this year. Similar monthly calls for drafted men are plannedt it is understood. The rapidity with which drafted men are to be ordered into military service will depend upon movement of trained troops overseas, it is stated. With the 160,000 a month program obtaining, 1,350,000 men will be drafted by the end of the year. The number of men to be sent overseas this year, and the consequent 'number of men to be drafted, will b< regulated by three considerations: 1—Shipping facilities. 2—Available equipment. 3—The needs of the Allies. General Crowder stated that the draft machinery now is in shape to supply men as fast as needed. It is believed that in arriving at the 150,000 figure for April, the general staff has worked out a plan under whicB this number of men can be transported to Europe each month. In order that there may be no hitch in sending men to training camps, local draft boards are rushing physical examinations of registrants in class 1. Word also has gone forth to speed up all appeal cases. FORCE SHALL MAKE RIGHT THE LAW OF THE WORLD, WILSON PRESIDENT SAYS NATION W I L L FIGHT UNTIL AUTOCRATIC FOE HAS BEEN CAST (N T H E DIRT. WILLING TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE OF GERMANY, M) f WITH JUNKERS If Militarism Now Were Permitted to Remain Triumphant If Would Mean Ruin of American Ideals of Justice. WAR COST 9 BILLION FIRST YEAR One-barf of Sum Represents Loans t Allies and Will Be Repaid. Nation Responds Nobly. Washington—Throughout the United States communities observed the an* niversary of the nation's entrance into the war, and gave material evidence of their support 07 pledging millions of dollars to insure successful contin. nance of the struggle against Germany. While parades and public meetings were in progress in nearly every city, telegrams were- pouring into liberty loan headquarters at the treasury telling of towns which had exceeded their quotas in the first day of the four weeks* campaign, or even within the first hour. More than 150 had reported when the headquarters closed Saturday night. Sioux City, la* and Lynn, Mass., were the largest cities exceeding their allotments and thereby win- Washington—Nine billion dollars is the approximate cost to the United States of one year of war. More than one-half has gone In loans to Allies and will be repaid eventually; over one-third has been spent for the army and military establishment; one-tenth for the navy and one-fifteenth for shipbuilding. One-sixth of this big war cost has been raised by taxation and other ordinary sources of revenue, and the balance has come from sale of Liberty bonds and certificates of indebted - Enormous as these war expenditures may seem to a country wbose government in peace times costs between $700,000,000 and 1800,000,000, they are less than Great Britain's and are only about two-thirds of estimates made by officials less than a year ago. Government expenses now are running about $1,000,000,006 a month, with somewhat leas than'half going to Allies, who spend the greater part ning the right to fi> the honor flag of of their loans for war supplies in thia the third Liberty loan. J country Baltimore—President Wilson at 9 great Liberty Loan celebration here April 6, gave America's answer to the German drive on the western battlefront; to the renewed propaganda for a German made,peace, to all proposals to end the war before Germany is awakened from her dream of world dominion. The president's answer was: "Force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust." The speech was delivered before a grave audience in the Fifth regiment armory, where he was first named to be chief magistrate of the nation. 8ees New Soldiers March. A few hours before the president spoke, he had reviewed a division of citizen soldiers, called only a few months ago from the pursuits of peace; now transformed into fighting men to carry the ideals of America to the battlefields of Europe. At the moment 1,000,000 more of their kind all over the land were celebrating the opening of the third Liberty loan; and the orders for mobilizing the first of the great army of a second 1,000,000 was going out to the country. Those were some of the physical facts which backed his words, when after reviewing briefly the evidence that Germany seeks a peace for her her world dominion, the president declared : "I accept the challenge. I know you accept it. All the world shall know you accept it. It shall appear in the utter sacrifice and self forgetfulness with which we shall give all that we love and all that we have to redeem the world and make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in. Will Fight to Finish. "This'now is the meaning of what we do. Let everything that we say, my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response till the majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill the thought and utterly defeat the force of those who fount and misprize what we honor and hold dear. "Germany has once more said that force and force alone shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in affairs of men; whether right as America conceives it or dominion as she conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind. "There is therefore but one response possible from us; force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous force which shall make right the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion in the dust" Warns of Russia's Fate. Warning anew that a triumph of arms for Germany means rain for all the ideals America has won and Uvea for, the president reiterated he waa willing to discuss at any time a fair, just and honest peace sincerely proposed—" a peace In which the strong and weak shall fare alike." "But the answer," said he, "when I proposed such a peace came from the German commanders in Russia and I cannot mistake the meaning of the answer. "Th - -njoying in Russia," the president declared, "a cheap triumph in which no brave or gallant nation can long take pride. A great people, helpless by their own act lies for the time at their mercy. Their fair 'professions are forgotten. They nowhere set up justice but everywhere impose their power and exploit everything for their own use and aggrandisement; and the peoples of conquered provinces are invited to be free under their dominion.

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

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

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

'With great Re.spec yore "Frien liza rankln." Lavinia read the letter over and over again. She could make nothing of It but a jumble of words ail but illegibly written. Not a comma, not a period. She glanced at the name: llza rankin, and light came to her. The meaning of the letter became clear. Her throat contracted with an uncomfortable ache and tears hid the package In her lap at which she fumbled with unseeing eyes. It was roughly and Insecurely tied and she wondered how it had come intact through the mails. As the thought flashed through her mind a smaller package dropped upon the floor. With an exclamation she picked up yards of beautifully fine and intricate tatting. Examining the contents of the larger bundle, she found it contained several sets of table mats with crocheted borders and coarse, homespun Hnen centers. Her mind went back to the summer just past and the several summers before when she had helped spin the cloth from flax raised in the little clearing about the cabin. If she had been asked she could not have told how she had heard of the little home in the Tennessee mountains across the border from Virginia, but each summer thereafter had found her a visitor, and she and Eliza Rankin bad become fast friends. She had helped Eliza make her wedding dress; had returned to the mountain for the wedding, taking with her from her own store of furniture enough to make comfortable the tiny tworoom log house that was to be Eliza's future home. She had been with her when the child was born; had been with her when, dry-eyed, the griefstricken mother had laid the still little form In its crib for the last time, and it was ID the rough little cabin that Lavlnia came under the Influence that altered the course of her own life when she raised her head from her spinning and met the keen, questioning gray eyes of the mountain doctor who had stopped for a moment to ask for a drink of milk. She met him often in her wanderings about the mountain, but aside from the pleasure of an occasional meeting she had given him no thought until she raised her head that day and her eyes< were held by the dominant gray ones of the man standing in the doorway. She felt as if he was reading her very soul. Filled with resentment, the angry color flooded her face under his merciless gaze. Indignantly she straightened in her chair. Then, to her everlasting shame, she left the spinning wheel and walked directly into his arms. She left the mountain the next day. There was a long wait at Bristol before the arrival of the north-bound train, but almost as It came into sight Doctor Cochran crossed the platform to her side. "Eliza told me you had gone. Why?" he had asked abruptly. She had looked at him coolly, critically. A big, awkward but powerfully built man, coarsely clothed with his blue homespun shirt open at the throat and sleeves pushed carelessly back from bis muscular arms. Her very silence brought to him a realisation of her thought "OhI That's it! A mountain man is not good enough! You want the fine clothes, the suavity and convention to which you are accustomed. You can have them if yon want 1 do not doubt It But whoever he be be will never nave what you have given to the mountaineer." She had risen and faced him. "How dare yoo—" He had laughed roughly in Interruption. "Dare? I dare anything, my dear young lady, and I tell you plainly that to that half boor in Eliza Hankie's cabin you gave me what you win never rive another man, and that was your toot** a i d turaiff on bis hod he loft her aa the train pulled Into the stottoo. hint once, months later. He wrote that be had volunteered and mubt see her before he left for France. The note was unanswered. He did not come, and as the days passed she knew her day of reckoning was upon her; that she had let him go to his work thinking her heartless. It all cauie back as she looked at the work in her lap und as she let the beautiful tatting slip over her fingers her resolution was taken. Naturally she met opposition when she told her family she was going to the mountain for a brief stay, but she went on about the currying out of he* plan and blessed the aunt who left her a email legacy to do with as she would. Knowing that the railroads were congested by the movement of troops, she hired a motortruck to carry food and told the chauffeur she was going with him across the width of Virginia. His expression spoke volumes and when out of hearing uttered words not Intended for a woman's ears. She persuaded a married friend to accompany her. This she regretted later on, for the coid was intense and there was tire trouble. To her it meant delay, but her friend could see nothing In the trip but her own folly In yielding to Lavinia's wishes. "I will leave you at Hot Springs and go alone," Lavinia told her at last. "It was really too much to a«k of you." "I will keep on until we reach a railroad," Mrs. Howard answered shortly. "When we come to that bond with civilization I will leave you to your own devices. What on earth put such an Idea Into your head. Couldn't you have sent the things by freight?" "Eliza and the others need food, and this is the quickest way to get it to them," Lavinia answered. Fortunately her chauffeur was a Virginian and had come from the section of the state to which she was going. He had known the Ranklns and Wades. "We played together when we was kids," he told her. "It'll go hard with the women in the mountains with their men gone." For a moment he looked troubled. "I s'pose you wonder why a husky feller like me Is a stay-at- "home. I ain't no slacker. I has a wife an' five kids an' the orfercer tol' me to atay at home an' take kyar of 'em." Never In her life before had Lavinia been so conscious of the comforts of fire as when she entered the log cabin an hour later, stiff and shivering. But it wasn't much of a fire. Just a handful of sticks upon which Eliza threw a few pine cones tha* biased up at once. Standing before it, Lavinia looked about. There was but the one room. Side by side In one corner stood two beds covered with gay patchwork quilts. Four bright eyes peered at her from the farthest one. From the nearer came a slight moan. "I did not know anyone was sick, Eliza." "Llz wore jes' po'ly when I writ miss, honey. She give up las' nigh'. I put the chilrun in bed to keep warm. Moll is out tryin' to git wood. Miss, honey, I shorely think the Lord dun sent you." "There must be someone who can get wood for you," Lavinia said. "Where is Jake Fox? He is too old to be called." For a moment Eliza did not answer. "He's a-haulin' for money an' we alia dldn' have none." Lavinia opened her purse. "Give hlra this and tell him to hurry with a load." The mountain woman drew back. "I ain't beggin', honey." "Of course not. I expect you to pay it back. But now I am cold and hungry and we will talk about it after a while." and throwing aside her wraps, she went over to speak to Lizzie Crawford. For a week she watched beside that bed in the corner, resting between times In a big chair before the fire. At the end of that time as she was bending over the bed the door was thrown open and a hearty voice said: "I came back to take a look around before I left for France, Eliza; heard Lizzie was sick and came over to see what was the matter." The voice stopped short "You!" F o r . a second of time Lavinia thought she would suffocate with the beating of her heart then she said quietly: **I heard they were in trouble, so I came." The man's hand was not quite steady as he reached over and laid his fingers upon Lizzie's wrist "There is no fever. I think—" He caught sight of Lavinia's eyes and turned abruptly away.

They worked bard, and tilled their acres with this end in view. Honest struggle, earnest effort and u true conception of upright manhood, together with the Increa.*- ing knowledge that upon the fruits of their endeavoi rested the structure of the world, whose people had to be fed and maintained. Economy in method, improved conditions of working, have added to the farmer's possibilities, and today instead of being a plodder for an existence, which his early training had bred into him, he has become the bulwark of the nation, and, as such, has become elevated to a position where his word and his work are recognized as the factors It was always intended they should be. He Is now the man of business—of big business. He has forced an appreciation of his work, and the true value has been placed upon it. The big men of the country today are the farmers, who, with business acumen and forensic forethought are able to tell you—from their books—what it costs to produce a bushel of wheat or a pound of wool. All of which Is intended to prove that farming Is a business, as much as banking or selling a suit of clothes. It is an Industrial business, with more certain profits than accompany any other line of trade. It is a manufacturing enterprise, devoid of any of the dangers that the frills of fashion's follies and desires force upon ordinary pursuits. Food is something that all must have and the farmer produces It The cheaper it can be produced the less will be the cost to the consumer. And this is one of the ehlef thoughts of the farmer. Within the memory of the ten-year-old boy there have been Improvements in machinery, changes In methods, scientific discoveries of chemicals as adapted to agriculture, all of which have lessened cost of production and made possible the cultivation of increased acres. In some parts these things have brought about more intensified agriculture, growing heavier crops on less acres. Improved machinery and demand for greater production have led another class in search of larger areas, where their-ability may cope with the growing of a greater number of bushels. That Is one of the reasons why Western Canada lands have recently come Into such demand. These, at from twenty to thirty dollars an acre, and producing the prodigious crops that are claimed for them, have attracted thousands of American settlers, while other thousands have gone out Into the lands In the Western states. But as to the Canada lands, there Is this to say of them, today they are cheap, and if they will yield sufficient in one year to pay the cost of the entire purchase, why should not there be a demand. The country is well settled, and settlement is Increasing. As evidence of the growth of the three Western Provinces Into whose territories the Canadian Government Invites settlers, recent reports show the following increases from 1913 to 1917 inclusive: Value of Field Crops 1913 191T Manitoba ...$64,557,000 $137,470,550 Saskatchewan 129.376.000 349,488.200 Alberta . . . . 46,712,000 176.96S.800 Total $240,645,000 $663,924,550 The total value of field crops for 1917 was $663,924,550, produced on lees than 59,000,000 acres of land. Further evidence of prosperity and progress Is found In the Government estimate of the value of farm lands, and increase In value since 1908: 1908 1916 Manitoba 27.30 32.03 Saskatchewan 20.40 23.07 Alberta 18.20 22,18 It will be observed that the average price of lands has not kept pace with their producing value. It Is therefore pointed out that the opportunities for the purchase of high-class land Is still within the reach of those with limited 'means. A good Idea of advancement In a country's progress may be obtained by a knowledge of what has been done In the production of cattle, and when rhese figures are studied tn coonecttoo with Western Canada, a country whose fame having been heralded aa a graingrowing country, giving the idea that that was what it woo moody adapted to, tt will he realised that there la there a vast storehouse of wealth awaiting those who choose to toko advantage of It Ie the throe io 1912 there were potato, miles other cattle, sheep and swine, four million head, while in 1917 the number was seven million. In 1901 the entire population was 419,512; in 1916 1,608,220. One marvels at the rapid progress of the United States during the nineteenth century. But America's opportunities for growth at the beginning of that century were uothing compared to the opportunities which are Canada's at the present time. The fact that Canada has as its next door neighbor a nation of over 100,000,- 000—the richest nation in the w o r l d - Is bound to have a stimulating effect on its progress. Already one sees signs of It on every hand. Canada not only lias the largest area of unoccupied, but fertile, land of any country, but this land is already made available by u network of railways. Cost of production of grain Is lower thun elsewhere, while the prices are on a basis of those of the United Sta tes.—Advertisement. In the Soup. A rookie was home on a furlough.

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

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

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

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

Scott, chairman of the War Industries Board, which has charge of government buying and supervision over the general Industrial activity Incidental to the prosecution of the war. The preparatory stage of the war has passed for this country, says Mr. Scott, and the time has arrived when every resource, human and material must be placed- at the disposal of the government. "If it can be said there has been a preliminary stage of our share in the war it is over now," says the government's Industrial director. "Our troops are already In France, and we have begun the actual raising of a huge army here at home to be sent abroad when the time Is ripe. We have passed the period of expectation. "Efficiency and economy in producing and distributing the government's requirements are as necessary to success as courage and Intelligence In battle. The slacker at home is as contemptible a figure as the coward In the presence of the enemy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Massachusetts legislature ratified the federal prohibition amendment making 11 states in line. Many legislatures do not convene till 1919 but much is hoped from them. Both houses of the Mississippi legislature have passed a so-called "bone dry" measure which repeals that part of the present law providing for a limited amout of liquor per month for those desiring it. Governer Emmet D. Boyle of Nevada 18 reported to have telegraphed thecounty commissioners of Elko county to deny applicatiofijfor renewal of licenses for saloons a t Wendover and Deep Creek, soon to expire. This action was taken on request of Governor Simon Bamberger of Utah, who charges that the holders of licenses at these pofn's ahip liquor into Utah by automobile and railroad in violatiou of the prohibition law of that state. At least 1000 Chicago saloonsare expected to goout of business May 1 the date for. saloon license renewals, accord ing to a report from the office of the city collector. Last fall more than 500 saloons quit business. Many other liquor dealers announced at that time that they would continue only until! May 1: Some saloonkeepers are quitting be* cause of their inability to obtain sunplies of whisky and other alcoholic drinks, except at exorbitant prices says the report. Others admit that the dry wave will eventually sweep Chicago" I Slipping. The market price of straw is now between $8 and $20 per ton, and there is a good demand for almost any kind of straw. Farmers who are not in the habit of felling straw, bat who can advantageously do so, should bale their surplus or arrange to do so daring the present ing planned in the belief that it is just as essential that teachers in the country schools be specially trained to deal with the problems they are called upon t o encounter as it is that city teachers be informed in the subjects of most importance in the cities.

They m a y h a v e frequent headaches and sometimes "pimply"' or pule skin. Bloodless people, thin, anemic people, those with pale cheek.s and lips, who have a poor appetite and feel that tired, worn or feverish condition in the springtime of the year, should try the refreshing tonic powers of a good alt e r a t i v e and blood purifier.

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

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

'T ~~M This is the man, it will be remembered, who was convicted of an offense in Washtenaw County last winter and was fined for a violation of the state law in that county. The offense which sent the sheriff after htm this time was cutting a beetree on the property of the Lewis Brothers near Portage Lake and there was hardly a change of escaping punishment, as several witnesses saw the act It isregretted by the'grest majority of ouTotizens andfltaxpayers that | a husky>an likeJOtto Rohn [who: isXapparently perfectly able to go into the fields and work, is not invited to do so by the state authorities, who do not hesitate to ask the women and childyen to week at manual labor to help raise crops for the sustenance of the boys in our armies, and of which Otto Rohn consumes a man's share. The owners of the property which he so wantonly destroyed are industrious farmers and the shortage of crops in this vicinity the past few years places them in a position where they cannot afford to lose any of their trees when fuel and lumber is so scarce and expensive. Why should a young farmer, whose labor helps toward the support of his widowed mother, be compelled to psy more for taking a fish or two from the waters which he w t taxes on than the pampered Otto has to pay when he is convicted of the destruction of property of far greater value than a pound or more of fish? It is also regretted by these same taxpayers and citizens that the Governor does not take some action toward removing this notorious state official from the office of Deputy State game warden and fill the vacancy with a lawabiding citizen to whose name is not attached the stigma of unenviable notoriety which the present incumbent has allowed to become a fixture to the name of Otto Rohn.

Lansing—An appeal to the food administration and the governor for help on the milk problem was made by a delegation of dairymen and farmers from Portland, Ionia county.

Saginaw—The name of the Germania school ha8 been changed to "Lincoln". The motion was supported by School Inspector O. F.

The budget for the year provides for an increase of 10 per cent in the salaries of the teachers. Camp Custer—Law and order is evidently more prevalent in the 85th division than in any other army organisation. A report shows that the division has had fewer general courtmartials than any cantonment, army post or point where troops are being assembled in the United States. This is in spite of the fact that during March and April more general courts were held than in all the previous months the division has been organised. Flint—About 1,000 men of draft age, who were not carrying classification cards when approached by officers, were brought before the m'litary board at a slacker round-up here. A large number of them were released later when their draft cards were produced.

The government ordered him to report at Washington May 1 and to remain there for the duration of the war. Albion—In a speech here, Horatio Earle, of Detroit, said that the highways of Michigan offered the only relief for Michigan railroads. The short hauls must be taken of the railroads and placed on the highways. If this is not done the people will face freezing every winter as the roads are unable to handle the traffic. Flint—A citlsens* committee is Investigating the local coal situation as a result of the refusal of local dealers to fill orders at government prices. The dealers claim they cannot do busines sat the prices s e t .Meantime consumers are Urged to bay at once and are forbidden to form pools to buy direct fro mthe mines or outside dealers. .__ Camp Custer—Books are beginning to pour into the Custer library as the result of the recent drive.

Lansing—The amount of the cost price of a loaf of bread, between the wheat producer and the bread consumer, is strikingly shown in a recent compilation by the food administration, covering the period from 1913 to the present time. In 1913 but 26 per cent of the cost went to the farmer, as compared with 45 per cent at present. In 1912, 68 per cent of the price of bread was added after the flour left the mill door, as compared with 49 per cent now.

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

Naturally none of us would now prefer to have our meat raw, our potatoes as they come from the ground, our coffee unroasted. And naturally follows the great discovery recently made by The American Tobacco Co.—that tobacco tastes better TOASTED! This wonderful new idea—simple like all great inventions—was first used in producing the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette—made of toasted Barley tobacco. Burleyhas a mellow flavor, entirely different from the tobacco usually used for cigarettes. It is a pipe tobacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes taste like a pipe. Adv. Where Conservation Falls.

I protested that I had wasted a halfhour on it already, and had used up my only remaining shirt in the attempt. With a look of disdain he exclaimed : "Blow me, your shirt I Why in didn't you use mud?" Without a word in reply I got busy with the mud, and Boon my dixie was bright and shining. Most of the afternoon was spent by the men writing letters home. I used my spare time to chop wood for the cook and go with the quartermaster to draw coal. .1 got back just in time to issue our third meal, which consisted of hot tea. I rinsed out my dlxte and returned it to the cookhouse, and went back to'the billet with an exhilarated feeling that my day's labor was done. I had fallen asleep on the straw when once again the cook appeared in the door of the billet with: "Bllme me, you Yanks are lazy. Who in a-goin' to draw the water for the mornin' tea? Do you think I'm a-goln' to? Well, Tm not," and he left I filled the dixie with water from an old squeaking well, and once again lay down in the straw. CHAPTER VII. Rations. Just dosing off; Mr. Lance Corporal butted in. In Tommy's eyes a lance corpora 1 Is one degree below a private. In the corporal's eyes he is one degree above a general. He ordered me to go with him and help him draw the next day's rations, also told me to take my waterproof. Every evening, from each platoon or machine-gun section, a lance corporal and private go to the quartermaster sergeant at the company stores and titled to rations, so there is no chance of putting anything over on him. Many arguments ta£e place between the "quarter" aad the platoon noncom, but the former ajsrtlys wins out. Tommy says the "quarter" got his Job because he was a burglar in civil life. Then I spread the waterproof sheet on the ground, while the quartermaster's batman dumped the rations on ft The corporal was smoking a fag. I carried the rations back to the billet The corporal was still smoking a fag. How I envied him. But when the issue commenced my envy died, and I realized that the first requisite of a noncommissioned officer on active service is diplomacy. There were 19 men in our section, and they soon formed a semicircle around us after the corporal had called out, "Rations up." The quartermaster sergeant had given a slip to the corporal on which was written a list of the rations. Sitting on the floor, using a wooden box as a table, the issue commenced. On the left of the corporal the rations were piled. They consisted of the following : Six loaves of fresh bread, each loaf of a different size, perhaps one out of the six being as flat as a pancake, the result of an army service corps man placing a box of bully beef on it during transportation. Three tins of jam, one apple and the other two plum. Seventeen Bermuda onions, all different sises, A piece of cheese in the shape of a wedge. Two one-pound tins of butter. A handful of raisins. A tin of biscuits, or as Tommy calls them "jaw treakers," A bottle of mustard pickles. The "bully beef," spuds, condensed milk, fresh meat* bacon and "Maconochie rations" (a can filled with meat vegetables and greasy water), had been turned over to the company cook to make a stew for next day's dinner. He also received the tea, sugar, salt, pepper and flour. Scratching his head, the corporal studied the slip Issued to him by the quarter. Then In a slow, mystified voice he read out "No. 1 section, 19 men. Bread, loaves, six." He looked puzzled and soliloquized in a musing voice: "Six loaves, nineteen men. Let's see, that's three ID a loaf for fifteen m e n - well, to draw rations for the following day. make it even, four of you'll .

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

From the opposite direction- there approached a young officer with a lady companion. He, too, hud the gold stripes of the twice wounded. Eager and bright, he seemed absorbed in his companion, apparently not noticing the two privates. Indeed, he wua almost by them when In a flash he darted from the side of his companion, seized the hand of one of the privates in a hearty grip and ejaculated : "Great heavens! fancy meeting you here ! Bit different when we were together before, eh? What a tight corner ! And only we two left—and here we are again. And how are you, and how are you getting on?" Succeeded a string of other questions, culminating in "Getting better, eh? Feel as if you'll soon be ready to go out again? How do you feel about it? Will you be glad to go?" What the private said may be Inferred from the resumption of the officer's talk. "That's the right spirit Shouldn't wonder if we meet again in another hot corner. Well, good luck antf cheero!"

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

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

THE American people fought their first battles for liberty and the rights of selfgovernment one hundred and forty-two years ago. •J A t thai time, and for many years thereafter, their realization of their national aspirations and of the goal toward which they were really striving was vague and indistinct But step by step they struggled onward and upward toward a light which grew dearer as their eyes and minds slowly opened to its significance.

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

Allies Improve Positions. London—Both the British and French struck sharp, successful, local blows in Flanders April 20, which materially improved their positions. The crowning success of the Allies' local operations came when the French in a brilliant charge on the center of the German southern wedge, to the northwest of Bethuns, hammered a great dent into the enemy's lines. They took prisoners and captured several German cannon, the first to be taken from the foe Bince he launched his great spring drive. • * * . » • * Events of the of Pi * * First resent * * * Month Great * * * Battle. * • * • The chief events of the first * month of the biggest battle the * world has ever known are as fol- * lows: * March 21—Offensive opens with • German artillery attack on Brit- * ish near S t Quentin that could be * heard in England. * March 22 — German massed * troops assault in close formation * over line of 50 miles. * March 23—British army driven * back between Arras and LaFere, * with Germans throwing million • men into fight. * March 24—Somme crossed by * Germans who capture Ham, Pe- • ronne and Chauny. • March 26—Deep wedge, driven * between French and English arm- * ies with the capture of Noyon. * March 27—Albert lost by Brit- * ish. * April 12—Armentiers lost by * British. * April 16—Neuve Eglise lost by * British. * April 17—Wytschaete,, Wulver- • ghem and Bailleul. taken by Ger« * mans. • April 18—Germans checked * along Givenchy-LaBassee canal * front.

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

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

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

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

United States, according to careful of the wheat The remedies for the Hessian fly are, therefore, entirely preventive. One is to plow down the wheat stubble Immediately after harvest in order to destroy* the maggots which remain in It This is for the protection of future crops. Another is to pay great attention to the preparation of the seedbed for the wheat by plowing early and working and packing the soli thoroughly in order to eliminate tumps and clods, thus producing a finely pulverised, compact, and moisture-conserving bed for the seed. Care should computations and estimates made by the experts of the national department of agricu'ture. It is a prize worth lighting for, especially In these times of threatened scarcity of food.

The children were Clarence, aged seven, Charles, aged five and Louise, aged two. Sheriff Newell M. Bradford, Ithaca, declared that Wittig, who was arrested late in the day, confessed he slew Kimball, his wife and the oldest son, but did not recall killing the younger children. Sheriff Bradford says the only motive given by Wittig for the crime was that he resented an epithet applied to him by Kimball, following a quarrel over charges made by Kimball for repairs on Wittig's automobile. The Kimball family had been keeping house for Wittig, who is a bachelor, and working his farm. ROOSEVELT IN DETROIT MAY 30 Colonel Reported to Be Back In His Old Fighting Form.

NOWHSTE IN A PttCKOGE OP PosntMtsriES J$aus49bdVfe; Corn Food Good fcTbe Last Flake From Department of Entomology, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—Not what poisons to use, but how much to use—this is what bothers the housewife and gardener when of a spring or summer morning tiiey awaken to find their vegetable plot overrun with voracious insect Invaders. In such emergencies instructions for controlling the unwelcome visitors are usually sought for in the spray solutions with which the experiment stations of the states and the department of agriculture of the United States have so thoughtfully supplied the producing public—but unfortunately these instructions are as a ruie helpful only to the big grower who c&n use spray poisons in quantities of a barrel or more. It is possible, however, to reduce these quantities to the smaller amounts necessary In the home garden, and this has been done for the benefit of housewives and owners of small patches of ground. Measures. For convenience, the following equivalents of measures are given : Two eupfuls of liquid or dry material equal 1 pint. Four eupfuls of liquid or dry material equal 1 quart. Sixteen eupfuls of liquid or dry material equal 1 gallon. Three teaspoonfuls equal 1 tablespoonful. The poisons the gardener finds commonest use for are kerosene emulsion, nicotine, pyrethrum, arsenate of lead and poison bran mash. In small quantities, enough for Instance for a few rows of potatoes or a small patch of garden vegetables, these may be made up as follows: Kerosene Emulsion. Kerosene (coal oil) 2 eupfuls. Laundry soap, 1 cubic inch. Soft water, 1 cupful. Dilute to required strength. Shave one cubic inch of laundry soap Into a cupful of boiling soft water, and when dissolved pour into It two eupfuls of kerosene oil. Mix thoroughly with an egg-beater until It has creamy appearance. This is the stock solution and must be diluted before using. As a dormant or winter spray against scale, Insects, it should be diluted at the rate of one part of the stock solution to three or four of water. For plant-lice or lice on domestlcnted animals It should be diluted at the rate of one part of the stock solution to 10 to 15 parts of water, or mix one cupful of the emulsion in three quarts of water. This Is effective against scale Insects, plant-Uce and anlmal-llce. Nicotine. Nicotine sulphate (40 per cent) 1 teaspoonful. Soap, 1 cubic Inch. Water, S quarts. Into a quart of warm water share a cubic inch of laundry soap. When dissolved pour on two more quarts of water and add a teaspoonful of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate. Stir well and It is ready for use. This will control plant-lice, white-fly, pear psylla, etc. Pyrethrum. Pyrethrum, 2 teaspoonfuls. Water, 1 quart. Pyrethrum Is generally used In the powdered form and dusted on plants either clear or mixed with lime or sulphur. It can also be nsed as a spray by pnttlng two tablespoonfuls of the pyrethrum Into a qnart of water and stirring well. The powder will not dissolve but will remain In suspension. It kills Insects but Is harmless to man. Pyrethrum should be purchased from airtight packages for If fresh material is not nsed good results cannot be expected. This can be used against cabbage- worms, etc. Arsenate of Lead. Arsenate of lead (powdered), 8 tablespoonfuls, or arsenate of lead paste, 1 tablespoonful. Water, 1 gallon. Place the arsenate of lead In a cup and add a little water, stirring it until it makes a thin paste. Pour this Into a dish and add entongn water to make a gallon. It is then ready for use and should be kept agitated or the lead will settle. If arsenate of lead paste is used it will require twice as much, by weight, as the powdered form. The powdered arsenate of lead la much lighter than the pu.ste of the »ume bulk so that apparently more of the powder is being used.' For potato beetles use The poison twice as strong, as they are more resistant than most of the chewing Inserts. Potato beetles, codling luoth, caterpillars on plants, flea-beetles and oilier chewing Insects can be controlled with this poison. Poison Bran-Mash. Bran, 1 quart. Paris green ur white arsenic, 1 tea spoonful. Molasses, 3 tablespoonfuls. Orange, V*. (chopped fine). Water, to make a good mash. Mix the bran and the poison well together. Put the molasses In a cup of water and after stirring add to the bran mixture. Grind up a quarter of an orange or halt" a lemon and mix all together. Add enough more water to make a good stiff mash. To get the best results from tills mixture It should be put out in the evening so that it will be fresh by morning. Cure should be taken not to allow poultry to run where this Is being used. This will kill cutworms, army worms, grassbopers, etc. In the following the above directions one should for the most part, use old dishes. When not in use, these dishes should be kept in a place by themselves to avoid the danger of their being used for. cooking purposes. WRIGLEYS Six reasons Iaf sg ood friend: WAGE FIGHT ON BARBERRY High Variety of Shrub Must Go—Assists Spread of Stem Rust of Wheat. By DR. G. H. COON9, Plant Pathologist, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—A fight is in progress in Michigan against the-highbush barberry—every bush of which has been ordered pulled up and destroyed by the state inspector of nurseries. This official has also gone a step further and established a quarantine by which the importation of this shrub into the state has become a misdemeanor. Why this harsh treatment for what most of us have up to this time considered a harmless garden shrub? The facts are that while it may have become an unwilling partner to the crime, the high-bush barberry nevertheless aids and abets the spread of black stem rust of wheat. As a costly disease of wheat this affliction of the grain crop is always unwelcome, but as it happens it is more than commonly undesirable this spring because of its fondness for spring wheat, of which Michigan farmers have put In much more than their usual acreage. In fact stem rust has had almost as much to do with making spring wheat generally unprofitable in Michigan as has the weather itself. Wherefore, war has been declared against the high-bush barberry, for without the common barberry to spread the rust in the spring, this disease would cease to be a serious factor In Michigan agriculture. The common barberry and Its purple- leafed varieties are tall, rather scraggly bushes. Landscape gardeners state that the bushes are not highly esteemed, though they were very popular at one time. They are now found spread all over the state In yards and parks. The bush does not grow wild in Michigan. From each of these bushes in the spring the spores of the rust blow to the common grasses in countless numbers, and for long distances. In about a week the grasses rust and furnish an Innumerable supply of spores. The wind catches these up and greater and greater Infection of grains and grasses results. Over and over this story Is repeated until no grain field Is free from attack. It is In this way that a barberry bush, miles away, can be a menace tv. our food crop. Fortunately the Japanese barberry which is highly prized for decorative purposes. Is completely Immune, and is not concerned at all with the wheat rust. It is extremely important that everyone recognize the harmlessneas of this low and beautiful shrub in order that it may not suffer for the Inr lquities of its relative.

Every pennyweight of German coal is handled with scientific care, a n d t h e one end and aim of all this autocratic control of food and clothing and heat Is t h e winning of the war. T h e r e is no o t h e r purpose -in the German mind. Every G e r m a n m a r k is a G e r m a n ' s o l d i e r ; every grain of gold is doing i t s full share t o work out that indomitable purpose. Here In America we must realize that t h e w a r will not be won on any front, b u t in o u r own hearts. This Is a clash of civilizations. We m u s t develop in our h e a r t s a democratic purpose a s strong and a s carefully directed as this autocratic purpose of Germany. We, too, m u s t make soldiers of our cornstalks, defenders of our wool, cotton and silk, make every pound of coal an American pound, and we must make bullets of our pennies. If we failv to develop this democratic purpose In the eye-to-eye, knee-to-knee, hand-to-hand .struggle on t h e front, t h r u our c o n i - zation will do down. To fail to support our soldiers with ammunition, food, clothing an»d coal will weaken them for the great conflict a t the great moment, and that weakening will come from our hearts a t home.

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

WEARY PEOPLE WANT PEACE DRUGGISTS AID UNCLE SAM Pro-German Nobles Banded Together to Depose Monarch—Berlin Gives Charles Cold Shoulder. Amsterdam—Humiliated abroad and tirtualiy friendless at home, Emperor Charles of Austria is today in a position closely resembling that of ex-Czar Nicholas of Russia in the last phase of his reign. Moreover, internal conditions in the dual monarchy bear a striking similarity to the great sub-surface murmur which finally broke out in open revolt at Petrograd a year ago last March. In a roundabout way it has become known that Germany has made certain "declarations" which have gravely offended certain circles in Vienna. Due to these "declarations," Premier Seydler again has tendered his resignation. The inference is that Berlin has demanded iron clad guarantees from Vienna against the recurrence of the Charles-Prince Slxtus affair.

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

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

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

The National Industrial Conservation Movement will continue to exert every possible and legitimate energy at the command of Its writers, public speakers, printed literature, moving picture films, co-operating chambers of commerce, boards of trade, religious, civic, social and patriotic bodies, t« spread the gospel of industrial c o o p e r ation.

These agencies thrive on misrepresentation, exaggeration and agitation of destructive varieties. Must Combat "Isma," They preach hair brained "isms," class hatred and sedition. To defeat them is not only an imperative work for our national safety, but a patriotic duty incumbent upon every thoughtful American, it cannot be done by the occasional denouncing of such national enemies, thus affording them the notoriety by which they thrive, but must be combated in the public interest by f> raivfully worked out cn:apajgn to ]• truth 0:1 the indus nomic jirohlems at "Wage earners na fully j -ijn-eciate tl Amer: .11 indus: ry of our wage pave; at the impartial social and eco- ; • made to more .

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

He may even think his claims are justified. You read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, are not over modest in that regard. If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. In your experience, that theory doesn't hold. Maxwell is different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense—they are statements of fact—proven facts. They are, in every case., matters of official record attested under oath. For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials. That still remains a world's record the world's record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. Amor-.3 oth^r things it still stands the wood's Ion? distance soeed record.

You know automobiles- -which was the greater test? Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance? Proves you don't need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell. For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, : country roads and through city traffic—a vera £. And—listen to this. *\ a track but over rough U kinds of going. So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car would stop in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the seal. Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the 44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning— especially in the West where the real hills are. The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—was taken by a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. Then—three days later—a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a climb—wasn't it? So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors. Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis. Economy—also a matter of official record. Others may claim—Maxwell proves. Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners—thousands of them— driving their own Maxwells. Nor were they new MaxwTells—the contest was made by 1915, 16, and 17 models, many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service—three years' use. Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions—all kinds were encountered in the various sections of tne country. Good roads and bad—level country and mountainous regions—heat and cold— sunshine and rain—asphalt and mud. And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon! There's economy for you. And under actual5 average driving conditions—not laboratory test. But that isn't all. The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and reliability and economy all in the same run. In that 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour. Now you know that speed costs—and that economy tests are usually made at slow-speed—dosed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions. You know too that you can obtain economy of fuel by building and adjusting for that one condition. Speed you can get by building for speed. Any engineer can do that. But to obtain that combination of speed and economy with t h e wonderful reliability shown in that 44-days Non-Stop run—that car m u s t b*> a MaxwalU PINCKNEY DISPATCH PEDDLER VISITS AN AMERICAN CAMP PERMANENT FARM LABOR PROBLEM , Question Which Should Be Given I Serious Consideration by Farmer.

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

He had a postmaster write the board that he was coming but that as he was forced to walk he might be a few days late. He finally reached Conway.

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

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

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

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

London—The success of women on the police force is amply demonstrated In the annual report of Sir Leonard Dunning. H. M. inspector of constabulary, Just published. Seven counties and 24 cities and boroughs have women "on the strength," and "their introduction Into professional police work," says Sir Leonard, "may well help authorities to combat evils which have presented increasing difficulties to them for years past." While most of the women are engaged in clerical work, others a/e given duties requiring the complete confidence of a woman or child, which Waterproof pockets with water-tight fastenings for bathing attire have been Invented by two New York men. a woman can win better than a man; the maintenance of public decorum among girls, supervision over female servants' registries, duties under the shop hours acta, food control orders and the like, and supervision over places of amusement catering for children. It is not. Sir Leonard hopes, mggested that women should be employed In the suppression of 'public order and the arrest of dangerous or violent criminals. With regard to the desirability of intrusting to them that part of the investigation of sexual crime which involves Intimate conversation with the victim, the Inspector declares that the police themselves were the first to recognize this, but until some years ago failed to find a woman of education who recognised this as a woman's work. Sir Leonard pays tribute to the fine work being done by the women police employed by the ministry- of munitions, and refers also to the success of the efforts of the women patrols. He denies that the Increase of offenses by Juveniles end the decrease of personal chastltj of girls are the Youth Who Looks Older Than He If Spends 202 Days Behind Bars.

Wards Experience How American troops stood at attention on the slowly canting deck of of the sinking Tuscania for two hours and ten minutea one evening last winter and waited unflinchingly for rescue or death is told in a letter just received by Charles A. Ward, of Lakeland, from his son, Lieutenant Charles P. Ward, now on the French front, who wa^4n command of a company on board the transport. "You ask of the sinkingof the ship", *fce writes. "It was an experience that I do not car* to repeat. I can sit with closed eyes and live over again every incident of those two long hours and ten minutes, and yet, jppw that it is all ever, it seems like a hfieous nightmare. "I had been feeling bilious, so that evening, after shavi \g, I stepped into the docter's stateroe n, which was next to ours, to get some calomel and salts aa I wanted to feel fit to disembark the next day. For some hour* we had been able to see the shore line of Ireland on •ur right and the gray cliff a of the Scottiflh coast far to the left as the ship forced ahead into the narrowing channel. "Clad in my undershirt I waa seated •n a bunk visiting with the doctor when there came a thundering crash below •a and a violent vibration of the whole atruction of the ship. The light* went oat, the mirrors were crushed into fregsaents^- bettles, glasses, everything in the doctor's layout came ttuahlingdUioia, (The torpedo struck directly below our quarter*.) " 'God! they got ua,' " I exclaimed a* I landed on my feet "I felt my way to the corridor and into our own stateroom, where my •mnkieshad flashlights. Thinga were in ruins there, but I knew just where My garments were. Hastily I donned shirt, blouse and overcoat and bucketed on my gun. Then we scrambled up the companion way, through the smoking God, what a welcome sight that little oyster can wats! I threw a rope to the sailorB on the deck of the destroyer and my compauy slid down the rope, about 40 feet, to the deck of the destroyer ^without a mishap. I followed the men and when I hit that deck (and believe me 1 was some slider, Ringling'a beat man had nothing on me) I was all in. My orderly, who stood by waiting for me to come down, assisted me to a gun turret, where we lay for four houss before we landed on the "old sod". On the way in we hit a storm and that little boat with its load of 800 boys did roll and toss. The physical weakness of reaction overpowered me, "It was raining when we hit Ireland and I never in all my life had mud, the stickiest of black mud feel so good to my feet before. I could have rolled in and cried out for joy. "Thanks to the wireless we were expected and an Irish regiment met us at the dock with a hot Btew for the men and hot'Irish' and a meal for the officers. Talk about international amenities, those 'British' soldiers certainly received us with open arms. "We mustered in the morning and what a motley crew to call an army, dressed in everything from Tommy uniforms of the Black Watch down, curlers, Scotch and civilian garb—anw thing for warmth "So we rested for a day and then journeyed to Belfast and rested again.

The play was a delightfully funny skit abounding ia sparkling witticisms and humorous situations and the entire cast surely fulfilled expections in manner in which they portrayed the various characters, and each individual who played, is entitled to much praise for success achieved. The directors also, have shown themselves vto be students of the histrionic art and_ are to congratulated on the reamlta they have accomplished in the thankless task of producing an entertainment of this kind.

The first boat hung on the davits in splinters and the lowering davits were so bent and twisted that they could not have been used had we use for them, which we did not, for the boats on the boat deck were so crashed as to be useless.

The trial of Sheriff Stein began almost four weeks ago and developed into one of the mott bitterly contested cases In the hiitory of the local Judiciary.

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

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

'•>''>': •<-.£* - ^ : • X * MAY FESTIVAL The Ann Arbor Festival, May IS-16- 17 will bring together a wealth of musical talent such as has seldom (before boon assembled. Not only will it provide a feast of brilliant music for music lovers, but in many ways it will take on the aspects of an important patriotic demonstration. A Choral Union service flag of 53 stars will be diapUyalong side of "Old Glory" while each program of the festival will be featured with patriotic music. At the opening concert, Wednesday evening, before the beginning of the formal program Frederick Stock will lead the orchestra, chorus and audience in the singing of "America". In the same program the two distinguished oprratic atars, Margarete Matzenauer, and Ticcardo Stracciari, in apdition to the formal numbers assigned to them, will each make patriotic contributions, Madame Matzenauer -ingirg the Freach | anthem, "The Marseillaise', and Stracciari, a patriotic Italian air, entitled "My Flag", particularly significant in view of the fact that he has two sons at the Italian front one of whom not yet )& years of age has been honered with a Lieutenant's commission for valiant service. Thursday evening Caesar Francis's menomental oratorio "The Beatitudes' Will receive its initial Ann Arbor performance. The work is a beautifdl composition with brilliant choral passages and orchestral and ariys requiring the services of thegreatest soloiets. I t is significant that this work will be given by a cast all of whom are Americans. By special request the program wiH be preceded by Dr. Stanley's "Hymn of Consecraaion" dedicated to the times and especially written for last year's Festival. Its sentiments are deep and strong and worthy of the important period through which we are passing. \ At the Friday Afternoon Program the children will contribute '"Into the World", a composition in absolute harmony with the spirit of these fateful days. The children wiH also sing "America", while the evening's program, at which Claudia Muzio, the distinguished Italian Soprano, will be the star, will be preceded by "The Star Spangled Banner". At the Organ Recital Saturday afternoon given by Josep'i Bonnet, the emfrient French Organist, the audience will be led in the singing of patriotic songs by Earl V. Moore, with accompaniment by Mr. Bonnet. The performance of "Carmen" on Saturday evening, in whieh the operatic stars, Matzenauer, Martinelli, de Luca, Middleton, Sharlow, will be heard, will be precebad by the singing the " S t a r Spangled Banner" and at t h e close of the formal program, as B ft - ting climax to the week of music, the aucience, chorus, and orchestra will unite in a triumphant rendition of "America." MISSIONARY The meeting at Mrs. H. F. Sigler's was a success. A large number of ladies assembled to hear Miss Edith Bell tell of her work in South Africa. She delivered her message rapidly and so enthusiastioally that the attention of every lady was held throughout her long address and inspired all with zeal. Miss Bell told of her arrival in Africa. The chief promised hk- influence in starting a school and they were taken out into a trackless meadow, arriving just at night. N a h \ « came to them to see why they wvri- there and were pleased. The next morning at dawn forty children presented themselves as pupils. Without equipment of any kind, without any building she had to begin. They soon made a hut of the long meadow grass which served very well during the dry season. She and the girls took clay and experimented till they could make good bricks and before she came on her furlough after having been there over four years they had made 60,000 bricks and had more comfortable homes. She bought a tract of land containing 3500 acres for one cent an sere. She has promise of a tractor to take baek with her and wishes some one would give a span of amies, A young ladies branch wis organized with 17 members and six members added to ths W. F. II. S. A social hour was held and everyone wae reloetaat to let Miss Bell go. No worthier cause has ever existed than the Red Cross. It is aet charity to contribute to it's support Good citizenship has many compensations, bat none are greater than tee reettlta of the Red Cross. Coese ovt to the concert Saturday evening. Claims Are All Right But Only Proofs Count Any maker m a y claim for his product all the qualities there are. That It U | privilege. He ]may even think his claims are justified. You read the advertisements, so you know t h a t makers, as a rule, art not Q j p modest in t h a t regard. If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. In your experience, t h a t theory doesn't hold. Maxwell is different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore .claims in the ordinary sense—they are State* ments of fact —proven facts. They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under oath. For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials. That still remains a world's record- the world's record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. Among other things it still stands the world's long distance speed record. Just consider—44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour! And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825.* You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a transcontinental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and eleven hours. Now compare those two feats—one of less than six days, the other of 44 days. You know automobiles—which was the greater test? Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance? Proves ycu don't need to pay more than $826 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell.

Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the 44 days and m^hts continuous running, she was started again and off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning-^ especially in the West where the real hills are. % The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—waa taken by a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. Then- three days later—a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder recoici by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a climb 'v, arn't it? So r.lawveli still holds the Mount Wilson honors. Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis. Economy— also a matter of official record. Others may claim—Maxwell proves. Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners—thousands of them— driving their own Maxwells.

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

Large-scale production and distribution are necessary to convert the live stock of the West into meat and by-producta, and to distribute them over long distances to the consuming centers of the East and abroad. Only an organization like that of Swift & Company, with its many packing plants, hun* dreds of distributing houses, and thousands of refrigerator cars, would have been able to handle the varying seasonal supplies of live stock and meet the present war emergency by supplying, without interruption: Firar—The U. S. soldiers and the Allies in Europe by shipping as much as 8 0 0 carloads of meat products in a single week! Second— The cantonments in the United States. Third—The retailers upon whom the American public depends for its daily supply of meat. But many people ask—Do producers and consumers pay too much for the complex service rendered? Everyone, we believe, concedes the efficiency of the Swift 6c Company organization —in performing a big job in a big way at a minimum of expense. Swift c% Company's total profit in 1917 was less'than 4 cents on each dollar of sales of meat and by-products.

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

The a r s e n a t e of lead was also exceedingly fine, one manufacturer stating that his product would pass through the finest screen obtainable. In some of the work mixtures were used which contained some inert filler or diluent such as gypsum or hydrated lime. The dusting h a s all been done in direct comparison with the standard dilute lime-sulphur and arsenate of lead. What were the results? In 1915 scab was not controlled very successfully by either dusting or spraying. A large percentage of t h e scabby fruit was caused by late infections. T h e weather conditions were very favorable for scab development after J u n e 13. If extra applications had been made better control of scab would probably have been secured. This brings out the occasional need for an extra t r e a t m e n t in seasons of frequent rains. T h e results at harvest showed the sprayed trees to have 10 p e r cent less of scabby fruit than the dusted trees. Other factors probably affecting the results in the dusted plot were Inexperience with the dusting method, a duster too small for satisfactory work and the application of dust from one side of the trees only. In 1916, dusting failed almost entirely to control apple scab. The control of scab on the sprayed plot of fitarks was very poor.< This Is possibly explained by* the fact that t h e " p i n k " application w a s made before t h e blossom buds had all separated in the clusters. T h e control in t h e other • p r a y e d plots w a s very much better t h a n In the dusted plots. T h e periods of Infection were all In the early p a r t of t h e season. In 1915 they were all late In t h e season. T h e dusting method gave very satisfactory results in 1917. T h e results equaled those secured In t h e sprayed plots. T h e season w a s like t h a t of 1916 in t h a t t h e Infection periods w e r e all early in the summer. T h e control of scab on the fruit w a s very satisfact o r y In most plots. T h e condition of jfoHage in t h e dusted plot at Muir w a s 'much better than on t h e sprayed t r e e s b e c a u s e of the spray Injury on t h e latt e r . At Beldlng t h e r e was little difference in t h e condition of t h e foliage of t h e two plots. At Morrice t h e foliage of t h e dusted trees w a s free from injury but showed s o m e scab, "While on t h e sprayed trees there WEB n o scab but some spray injury. It Is not possible to tell Just w h y t h e results with dusting were so m u c h [more satisfactory in 1917 t h a n i n pre* vious years. T h i s success m a y h a v e been due to one or all of t h e following factors—mor« efficient application of d u s t finer m a t e r i a l s . o r more timely application with relation to Infection period*. Better results were obtained at Morrice and Ifutr, where much of the dusttog WM done when the tree* were wet wtth either rain or dew than at Betdng, where the trees were always dry [when material was applied. Bereral jejewera, however, hare secured aetiav cause of the ease and rapidity of application. Suggestions. For the benefit of fruit growers w h o may care to use the dusting method at this time, a few suggestions m a y prove helpful. A duster of sufficient capacity a n d power should be used. Efficient work cannot be done with an undersized machine. Special dusting sulphur should always be used. The ordinary grades of sulphur a r e not satisfactory. Home-mixing of materials should not be tried unless a special mixing machine is used. Applications should be made from two opposite directions and preferably when there is not any wind. Unlike spraying, dusting can be safely done when the foliage is w e t More applications of dust than a r e usually made of t h e liquid sprays will probably be desirable. However, t h e number will depend largely upon weather conditions. T h e applications of dust should, of course, be made before scab infection periods. Cool and rainy weather is favorable to scab development. The horticultural department also conducted a dusting experiment with peaches in 1917 b u t ' n o definite conclusions could b e d r a w n from the results of this work a s there was so very little injury by Insects o r diseases In t h e u n t r e a t e d plots. This work Indicated, however, t h a t peaches can be dusted safely and that peach scab and brown r o t can be controlled by dusting.

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

I am feeling well and like army life real well, even though we have considerable work to do. I have gained 23 pounds since I have been in the army. I like this camp real well. We have nice barracks to live in—all kinds of conveniences, but at Kelly field near San Antonio we had only tents to, live in and couldn't tell five minutes before when a sand storm would come. Kelly field covered about 14,000 acres and had 200,000 soldiers tbere when I left, on the 15th of March. There are four large flying fields there numbered 1—2 3—4, and the aviators work their way up beginning at No. 1. They have three thousand machines there. This is not an aviation field, it is « Concentration Camp and Supply Depot. That is we are held here until «they want us "over there," and in the meantime they equip us with every thing that is needed for over seas service. I have no idea how long it will be helore we are taken over but I am ready to corny time* Sanding my beat regard to all remain, ^ ^_ Years sincerely, Walter CUntoa. 617 Aero Sqda.

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

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

IS ON "THE RUN" Planting of Clean Bean Seed This Spring Will Rid Crop of Disease, Pathologist Says. THOROUGH PICKING HELPFUL Careful Removal of All Stained and ^Blotched Beans From the 8eed Stock Lessens the Danger. ^,-¾^ I *-.. • # , - • By DR. Q. H. COONS, Plant Pathologist ML A. C. Experiment Station. East Lansing, Mich,—Michigan bean growers have experienced two disastrous seasons In which weather conditions have practically* cut in two crops grown at great expense. Before 1016 and 1917 plant disease, and especially anthracnose, had year after year brought enormous loss to the growers In many sections, and In some districts crop failure. To this dismal condition must be added the damage prought about in the fall of 1917 by the rainy period which caught nearly the entire crop while it was still piled In the field. As a result the beans that were produced were in the bulk of cases greatly lessened In value by "ground rot." Where farmers lacked facilities for spreading out the wet crop to dry, beans that picked 40 pounds tq the bushel were not uncommon. Naturally under such conditions of moisture countless bushels have become musty. , Combined with certain vagaries in the price, these losses have caused many growers to question the advisability of longer clinging to this crop. A national problem of grave importance is wrapped up in this matter. But discussion of the diseases of beans and not of acreage, the price of seed and the California competition Is the province of this article, though undoubtedly these questions must be decided on a sound business basis, in which true patriotism and a desire to obey the call of the country must be paramount considerations. ! What may the farmer expect In the way of bean diseases in IBIS? To begin with, plant diseases are not caused by the weather. This has been said so often that It has become an old story to many farmers, but there are still many others who, seeing the direct relation between weather and disease epidemics, blame the whole matter on rainy seasons and stop there. If the trouble stopped there this article would not be written, for no one has yet found a way to control the weather. There Is, however, another side to be considered. The "nigger in the woodpile" in this case happens to be a germ. Plant diseases are caused by germs, and the weather is concerned only In so far as it aids In the growth and spread of these germs. Take bean anthracnose for example. Here we are dealing with a disease carried in the seed to the field and brought above the ground when the first seed leaves* push out. Rain serves to carry the disease down the stalk to the young unfolding leaves, and rain also serves to wash the germs from the leaves to the pods and from plant to plant The transfer of bean anthracnose, aside from that which comes from cultivating beans while wet, and so forth, is wholly a matter of how far the rain can splash. If beans are grown In a greenhouse and irrigated instead of E&^watered, they can he grown with absoutely clean pods—a point which Is SK ''fnentJoiied to show that rain does not came anthracnose, but merely spreads It- Without the germ there would be no disease. And so with other bean diseases. They are seed-borne and greatly Influenced by the rainy weather. Yet without the germ the weather could be whatever it pleased without any danger of its ever making the beans blighted or spotted. It Is this last statement which gives us justification for making predictions for 1818. A farmer will certainly have disease In his fields If he plants diseased stock.- If he can get "diseasefree*' seed—then he win have no trouble. The matter is not so simple as it sounds, for the problem is to get dis- Probably there Is not • boatoel of seed absolutely free from la Michigan. AH the farmer can do Is to try to secure "disease a gotoesi shows heavy infestation from anthracnose, and in fact many are totally free. Anthracnose is in retreat, but if wet weather keeps up this year it can make a stand and Intrench itself as firmly as ever. The present is an ideal time to get rid of the old enemy. It Is wholly an individual problem. If I were going to plant beans this spring I would get seed stock free from weathered beans and as clean and dry as possible, and then I would have it picked to absolute cleanliness. Every bean should be looked at and all with spots or stains should be thrown out The women in the home who huve registered for war service can do no better work than this. Jt is true that there still will be a little blight left in the seed and the crop may show some leaf trouble, but with the ordinary clean sample, such as grown last year, close picking will absolutely remove anthracnose. DAIRYMEN FACE PROBLEM A* a result of the last two dry, tfct percentage of antfcraeredixed, to that Judging of tam fatyaid fug ute» oy the niitiuun* of fcotaay It ^as^tJMUue<emtsupi|litat» Milk Surplus Is on Increase, Chiefly Due to Lack of Shipping 8 pace. By J. A. WALDRON, Extension Agent in Dairying Michigan Agricultural College. Bast Lansing, Mich.—Of problems which confront the dairymen of Michigan none, perhaps, Is causing more general concern at the present time (May and June) than the apparently ever-increasing surplus of milk. Even questions of feed, supply and prices have at least for the time being become secondary to it. This surplus of milk and dairy products, according to those who have looked into the matter, is mostly attributable to a dearth of shipping facilities, which is cutting us off from the European markets, where the shortage of necessary butterfat products is more acute even than is the oversupply of them on this side. Warehouses of the condensaries, and storehouses on the eastern seaboard, are consequently full to overflow. What this means to the producer of milk it doesn't require much Intuition to guess. The experiences of dairymen near Portland, in Ionia county, are typical of what is happening In numerous other parts of the state. This district was. supplying about 19,- 000 pounds of milk dally to a Grand Ledge condensary, but during the last ten days in April (and this state of affairs may still be existing) the condensary bad to turn this milk back. The company would like to have taken the milk and stored it until the finished product began to move, but it lacked the capital necessary to enable it to do this—and many other of the smaller enterprises are finding themselves in the same predicament. Another cause of the surplus is to be found in the effort at adjustment of milk prices that has been made in several of the larger cities within the past winter. As a result of this effort and the growth of a feeling by a large part of. the public against the producers, the consumption of milk in the cities has fallen off markedly—and this despite the fact that even at 12 and 14 cents a quart milk is one of the cheapest and most nutritious foods the consumer can purchase. The new lessons in food conservation and thrift are also having their effect in lessening the call for dairy products. Meanwhile there is no doubt about the acuteness of the demand for butterfat products in France, Belgium, England, Italy and other European countries. For the American dairyman there might be a solution of these current difficulties If the government wMild place orders for future delivery upon which the condensaries and the milk corporations might borrow money—though there Is nothing to indicate at present that this will be done. An organized campaign of advertising of dairy products by the dairy associations, In the manner in which the California growers enlighten consumers about the virtues of their fruits, would also help immensely In Increasing the demand for and the appreciation of dairy products. Among officials of the department of agriculture and the food administration the feeling; is that this critical situation will be relieved by fan, when our launching of ships will begin to exceed the toll taken by the pirate TJ* boats. Under the circumstances, it Is the opinion of the writer that in the long run It will be wiser for dairymen to struggle along as best they can for the present rather than sacrifice any of their herds, for while the present may look dark enough, a future is in prospect which, from the standpoint of profit and general good of the industry. should amply repay producers for the existing hardships.

Bands and state troops participated In a parade. Prominent state men spoke. Camp Custer—Immorality will never flourish in Camp Custer if the courtmartial sentence dismissing one lieutenant, found guilty of grave indiscretion, truthfully reflects the attitude of the authorities towards vice. The sentence, which calls for the dishonorable discharge of the young officer, has been approved by President Wilson and dismissal follows immediately. Holland—The Holland Rusk Co. and the Michigan Tea Rusk Co., Holland, are among the few baking Arms in the United States to be granted permits by the federal food administration allowing exemption from the use of wheat substitutes. Although experiments are being made with substitutes neither company has been successful In making rusk with anything but wheat. Detroit—Mrs, Mary Frazier, Negress, was killed and two men were badly burned when Casper Laconia, seeking a gas leak in his tenement borne at 13-15 Chase street with a lighted candle caused an explosion that blew out an entire side of the house. Mrs. Frazier, 24 years old, who resided on the ground floor of the building, the woman killed, had her head smashed by a falling beam. Detroit—With only one another for mourners, ten lonely unclaimed bodies were taken in one day from the county morgue for burial by City Undertaker J. W. Maney. They were the remains of William Rivers, who died in the Detroit house of correction; James Mc- Milan, dead of natural causes; three unknown men, one drowned, one killed by a train and one a victim of pneumonia, and Ave babies. Detroit—Present indications are that youths reaching 21 years of age will in the future be registered for army services every 3 months. "The registrations will come every 90 days after June 5," said Special Agent Fred Thornton, of the district board. "The government will not wait an entire year for the men who reach 21 years of age, but will accept them four times a year. This will give a steady stream of men for the national army." Detroit—From Lieutenant E. M. Connors, of Detroit, comes the news that the American boys were "very much wrought up the other day over a rumor that came up to us that our president had been assassinated. We thought it was true for a few hours," writes Connors, "and we just made up our minds to go out and give the damn Boches hell 'tout de suite' (Immediately). Fortunately this rumor turned out to be a peculiar brand of German propaganda." Lansing—"If It were not for our affiliations with the A. T. and T. Co. we would now be operated by the federal courts." This startling statement was made by Gen. Manager Geo. M. Welch of the Michigan State Telephone Co. before the state tax commission. According to Mr. Welch the company lost $133,000 last year and its losses this year wHt be much greater. He was opposing an increase In the assessed value of the company's property by the commission from $19,- 600,000 to $22,000,000. Lansing—The state railroad commission has rendered a decision on the salt against the Michigan State Telephone Co., at .Traverse City compelling t t e Bell company to make connection* with independent lines.

At the sale price of 28 1-2 cents a pound, fixed by the government, the cargo represents a value of $1,175,000. Camp Cuater—Thousands of rifles are firing simultaneously on the rifle range each day. The men are given 10 shots in the morning and 10 in the afternoon as a part of their course. Five thousand men are taking the course and daily shoot away 100,000 rounds of ammunition. Camp Custer—Mastafa Selm, the De troit Turk who deserted from Camp Custer and escaped to Mexico, but who returned when he thought he was safe from arrest, has been sentenced to five years' imprisonment. Selim's brother was lately given a federal court sentence In Detroit for aiding in the desertion. Hastings—Unless the 5,000,000 bushels of potatoes are used before July 1, they will be wasted," according to John C. Ketcham, of Hastings, master of the state grange and national grange lecturer, who is interested in pushing a campaign to use more potatoes and milk, the only two foods of which there Is a surplus. Camp Custer—People of Michigan are again warned not to shoot pigeons unless they wish to feel the legal wrath of the war department. Carrier birds from Camp Custer have been taken to many cities in the southern portion of the state and released. Very frequently the birds fail to return or carry shot back with them. Kalamazoo—Hiding in the attic of the East Avenue school and existing on the fruits of daily raids for milk, cookies and bread, two of the three boy bandits who robbed six stores here were arrested by detectives after defying capture for three days. The lads had been taken before and had escaped from the detention room at the police station. Pontiac—Pontlac lays claim to first rank in the nation for cities between 25,000 and 50,000, in the Third Liberty loan drive. The figures announced in Washington give the honor to Topeka, Kan., with a 202 per cent subscription. While Pontiac, in the 1910 census, is not Included in that class, it now has more than 30,000 population. Its Liberty loan showing was $1,587,150, on x quota of $431,500, or 367 per cent. Lansing—The interstate commerce commission, at Washington, has handed down a decision in favor of the Huron Milling Co., of Harbor Beach, which requires the Pere Marquette Railroad Co. to make an allowance to the milling concern of 75 cents per car for switching interstate shipments between the railroad yard and the complainant's plant at Harbor Beach and of 45 cents per car for switching between loading and unloading points within the plant. Detroit—Attracted by a citizen's cries, Patrolman Myers saw four boys coming down a fire escape in the rear of John V. Sheehan & Company's store, 260 Woodward avenue. Myers called to the boys to halt, but all ran except one, who was arrested. The boy, who is but 13 years old, told the police he and his companions had climbed up the fire escape to the fourth floor of the building, and entered through an open window. Each one stole a pair of roller skates. Detroit—Word has been received from an officer In the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth infantry, now near the firing line in France, that Major Augustus H. Oansser, of Bay City, has been put In command of the first battalion of that regiment, which is made up of national guardsmen from Detroit and a few selective soldiers that originally were sent to Camp Custer. According to the latest advice the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth still is building railroads back of the "line." Kalamazoo—Hiram J. Ouding, 38 years old, was instantly killed and Lena Ouding, 12, Bertha Ouding, 8, daughters of the victim and two ot. er children, Betsy and Grade Cramer, were injured when a limited car going more than 40 miles an hour struck the auto driven by Ouding. Ouding was a celery grower living near Cornstock, four miles west of Galesburg. He had taken his children out for a ride and attempted to torn his car around on the interurhan crossing when he was struck. ' Lansing — Sensational disclosures concerning the operation of a well organised ring of firebugs may be expected, according to state officials, as the result of a grand jury investigation. For several months officials of the state fire marshal's department hare b e e s . investigating mysterious Urea in Detroit, Kalamaaoo and other cities throughout Michigan, and K hi believed that insurance has been collect* 4 in many instance* on Ares of inoandiarr origin.

VIGOROUSLY DENIES CHARGES Characterizes Accusation As Frams»up to Discredit His Disclosures On Failure of Plane Program. Washington—A new and sensational twist to the army aircraft scandal was given on May 10, when the war department turned on its principal accuser, Gutzon Borglum. Through Senator Thomas, Colorado, spokesman for the administration on the military affairs committee, the government caused to be read into the Congregational Record 100,000 words of correspondence and affidavits tending to show that at the very time Borglum was collecting information upon which he charged officers of the government with graft, he was using his position as the president's Investigator to organize an aeroplane company. With him in the proposed formation of the company, the correspondence and affidavits tended to show, was Hugo C. Gibson, described as an attache of the British ministry of war. Officials of the Dodge Motor company, Mishawkee, Indiana, furnished the military Intelligence section of the army with Information and affidavits tending to substantiate the charges. Mr. Borglum characterized the accusation as a "scurrilous frame-up," claiming the charges were sprung at this time in an effort to discredit his disclosures on the failure of the aircraft program. PHONE RATE RAISE ANNULLED Judge Wiest Orders Rehearing Detroit Controversy. of Detroit—Postponement of increased telephone rates for Detroit, and rehearing of the case by the courts, will be the result of the decision of Judge Howard Wiest of the circuit court at Lansing. Judge Wiest set aside the order of the railroad commission for higher and metered rates for Detroit, ordering the commission to revise Its opinion on new principles. The higher telephone rate is annulled, and present rates will prevail until the commission or the courts finally pass on whatever new.rates the commission grants. Its metered rate order, issued February 16, is completely set aside. The court's conclusion that the 4 1-2 per cent dividend paid to the American Telephone & Telegraph company by the Michigan State company was not properly chargeable against the subscribers is considered even a harder blow for the telephone company than the setting aside of the higher rate. EMBARGO ON NON-ESSENTIALS Only Necessities Can Be Exported Under Latest Trade Edict. OLD HUNGARIAN CABINET OUT New Premier Plans to Amend Laws to Give All Citizens Right to Vote. Budapest, via London—A new Hungarian cabinet has been formed with Dr. Alexander Wekerle as premier and minister of the interior. Premier Wekerle has stated that the government Intends to introduce various small amendments to suffrage proposals, based on compromise, that will make acceptance of the proposals possible. The amendments provide that every citizen who would not otherwise have the right to vote should obtain the right if he gives proof of sufficient learning to have passed through four classes of the national school and also is master of the Hungarian language, or if he has passed through six classes of the national school The premier added that workmen will have the right to vote. TROOP CAR FALLS OFF TRESTLE Washington—Control of manufacture of articles for export to European Allies has been instituted by the war industries board and the food administration. New regulations, effective May 15, require permission of the Allied representatives and of the controlling agency of this government before manufacture of such commodities can begin or materials for manufacture purchased. The regulations constitute perhaps the most radical step yet taken, as the trade board explafne, "for the purpose of preventing the useless consumption of materials and labor in making articles for export, which for the present may not be exported, and for the purpose of saving tonnage by prohibiting the exportation of articles which have not been recommended by the government of the country of destination as being necessary for their essential requirements."

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

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

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusltanla, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private In the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent to training quarters In Prance, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties.* After a brief period of training Empey's company is sent Into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always In the trenches. Empey goes "over the top" for the first time and has a desperate fight CHAPTER X I I . Bombing, The boys In the section welcomed me lack, but there were many strange faces. Several of our men had gone West In that charge, and were lying ""somewhera in France" with a little wooden cross at their heads. We were In rest billets. The next day our captain asked for volunteers for bombers' school. I gave my name and was accepted. I had joined the Suicide club, and my troubles commenced. Thirtytwo men of the battalion, including myself, were sent to L , where we went through a course In bombing. Here we were Instructed in the uses, methods of throwing and manufacture of various kinds of hand grenades, from the old "Jam tin," now obsolete, to the present Mills bomb, the standard of the British army. It all depends where you are as to what you are called. In France they call you a "bomber" and give you medals, while In neutral countries they call you an anarchist and give you "life." From the very start the Germans were well equipped with effective bombs and trained bomb throwers, but the English army was as little prepared In this Important department of fighting as In many others. At.bombing school an old sergeant of the Grenadier guards, whom I had the good fortune to meet, told me of the discouragements this branch of the service suffered before they could meet the [Germans on an equal footing. (Pacifists and small army people In the TJ. S. please read with care.) The first English expeditionary forces had no bombs at all, but had clicked a lot of casualties from those thrown by the Boches. One bright morning someone higher up had an idea and issued an order detailing two men from each platoon to go to bombing school to ilearn the duties of a bomber and how to manufactore bombs. Noncommissioned officers were generally selected for this course. After about two weeks at school they returned to their units In rest billets or in the fire trench, as the case might be, and got busy teaching their platoons how to make "Jam tins," Previously an order had been issued for all ranks to save empty Jam tins for the manufacture of bombs. A professor of bombing would sit on the fire step in the front trench with the remainder of his section crowding around to see him work. On his left would be A pile of empty and rusty Jam tins, while beside him on the fire step would be a miscellaneous assortment of material used in the manufacture of the "jam tins." , Tommy would stoop down, get an empty "Jam tin," take a handful of [clayey mud from the parapet, and line the Inside of the tin with this sub- Istanca. Then he would reach over, pick up his detonator and explosive, and insert them in the tin, fuse protrading. On the fire step would be a pile of fragments of shell, shrapnel balls, bits of Iron, nails, etc—anything ,th*t was bard enough to send over to Frtts; he would scoop up a handful of itfcls Jank and put It In the bomb. Perhaps one of the platoon would ask him what he did this for, and he would 'explsla that when the bomb exploded these hits wonM fly about and kin or wound any German hit by same; the questioner would immediately putt a button off his tunic and hand it to the hossh maker with, "Wen, Muse ma/ send this over as a souvenir,w or another Tammy would volunteer an ttdTuaty and broken Jeckknife; both be accaptsd and Inserted: would take anandffi the tin. which he - - - the lid of the tin and put It over the top of the bomb, the fuse sticking o u t Then perhaps he would tightly wrap wire around the outside of the tin, and the bomb was ready to send over to Fritz with Tommy's compliments. A piece of wood about four Inches wide had been Issued. This was to be strapped on the left forearm by means of two leather straps and was like the side of a "match box; It was called a "striker." There was a tip like the head of a match on the fuse of the bomb. To Ignite the fuse, you had to rub It on the "striker," Just the same as striking a match. The fuse was timed to five seconds or longer. Some of the fuses Issued in those days would burn down In a second or two, while others would "sizz" for a week before exploding. Back In Blighty the munition workers weren't quite up to snuff, the way they are now. If the fuse took a notion to burn too quickly they generally burled the bomb maker next day. So making Tjombs could not be ( called a "cushy" or safe Job. After making several bombs the professor instructs the platoon in throwing them. He takes a "jam tin" from the fire step, trembling a little, because it Is nervous work, especially when new at it, lights the fuse on his striker. The fuse begins to "slsz" and sputter and a spiral of smoke, like that from a smoldering fag, rises from It. The platoon splits in two" and ducks around the traverse nearest to them. They don't like the looks and sound of the burning fuse. When that fuse begins to smoke and "sizz" you want to say good-by to It as soon as possible, so Tommy with all his might chucks It over the top and crouches against the parapet, waiting for the explosion. Lots of times in bombing the "Jam tin" would be pleked up by the Germans, before It exploded, and thrown back at Tommy with dire results. After a lot of men went West In this manner an order was issued, reading something like this: "To all ranks in the British army: After Igniting the fuse and before throwing the Jam-tin bomb, count slowly onel two I three 1" This in order to give the fuse time enough to burn down, so that the bomb would explode before the Germans could throw it back. Tommy read the order—he reads them all, but after he ignited the fuse and it began to smoke—orders were forgotten, and away she went in record time and back she came to the further discomfort of the thrower. Then another order was Issued to count, "one hundred I two hundred 1 three hundred P* But Tommy dldnt care If the order read to count up to a thousand by quarters, he was going to get rid of that "Jam tin," because from experience he had learned not Ho trust i t When the powers that be realised that they could not change Tommy they decided to change the type of bomb and did so—substituting the "hair brush,- the "cricket ban/* and later the Mills bomb. The standard bomb used in the British army is the "Mills." It is about the shape and size of a large lemon. Although not actually a lemon, Frits insists that It Is; perhaps he Judges it by the havoc caused by Its explosion. The Mills bomb is made of steel, the outside of which hi corrugated into 48 small squares, which, upon the explosion of the bomb, scatter m a wide area, wounding or killing any Ittts who ta unfortunate enough to he hit by one of the flying fragments. Although a very destructive and efficient bemb the HMUUM las the fldence of "th* thrower, ia Htttaot It is a mechanical device, with a lever, fitted into a slot at the top, which extends half way around the circumference and la held in place at the bottom by a fixing pin. In this pin there is a small metal ring, for the purpose of extracting the pin when ready to throw. You do not throw a bomb the wuy a baseball is thrown, because, when in a narrow trench, your hand is- liable to strike against the parados, traverse or parapet, and then down goes the bomb, and, In a couple of seconds or so, up goes Tommy. In throwing, the bomb and lever are grasped in the right hand, the left foot is advanced, knee stiff, about one and a half its length to the front, while J. the right ^eg, knee bent, is carried slightly to the right. The left arm Is extended at an angle of 45 degrees, pointing in the direction the bomb is to be thrown. This position is similar to that of shot putting, only that the right arm is extended downward. Then you hurl the bomb from you with an overhead bowling motion, the same as In cricket, throwing it fairly high in the air, this in order to give the fuse a chance to burn down so that when the -bomb laDds, it immediately explodes and gives the Germans no time to scamper out of Its range or to return i t As the bomb leaves your hand, the lever, by means of a spring, is projected into the air and falls harmlessly to the ground a few feet in front of the bomber. When the lever flies off it releases a strong spring, which forces the firing pin into a percussion cap. This ignites the fuse, which burns down and sets off the detonator, charged with fulminate of mercury, which explodes the main charge of ammonal. The average British soldier is not an expert at throwing; it is a new game to him, therefore the Canadians and Americans, who have played baseball from the kindergarten up, take naturally to bomb throwing and excel in this act. A six-foot English bomber will stand In awed silence when he sees a little flve-foot-nothing Canadian outdistance his throw by several yards. Throwing Hand Grenades. I have read a few war stories of bombing, where baseball pitchers curved their bombs when throwing them, but a pitcher who can do this would make "Christy" Mathewson look like a piker, and is losing valuable time playing In the European War bush league, when he would be able to set the "big league" on fire. We had a cushy time while at this school. In fact, to us it was a regular vacation, and we were very sorry when one morning the adjutant ordered us to report at headquarters for transportation and rations to return to our units up the line. Arriving at our section, the boys once again tendered us the glad mitt, but locked askance at us out of the corners of their eyes. They could not conceive, as they expressed it, how a man could be such a blinking idiot as to Join the Suicide dub. I was beginning to feel sorry that I had become a member of said club, and my life to me appeared doubly precious. Now that I was a sure-enough bomber I was praying for peace and hoping that my services as such would not be required. CHAPTER X I I I . My First Official Bath. Bight behind our rest billet was a large creek about ten feet deep and twenty feet across, and it was a habit of the company to avail themselves of an opportunity to take a swim and at title same time thoroughly wash themselves and their underwear when on their own. We were having t spell of hot weather, and these baths to us were a luxury* The Tommies would splash around in the water and then come out and sit la the sun and have what they termed a "shirt hunt4* At first we tried to drown the "cootiea," hut they alio seemed to —Joy the hath. One Sunday ssorhlng the whole In the) erutk and wo Be to the edge of the creek and ordered! "Come out of i t Get your equipment on, 'drill order,' aud fall In for bath parade. Look lively, my hearties. You have only got fifteen minutes." A howl of indignation from the creek greeted this order, but out we came. Discipline is discipline. We lined up in front of our billet with rtfles und bayonets (why you need rifles and bayonets to take a bath gets me), a full quota of ammunition, aud our tin hats. Each man hud a piece of soup and a towel. After an eight-kilo march along u dusty roud, with an occasional shell whistling overhead, we arrived at a little squat frame building upon the bank of a creek. Nailed over the door of this building was a large blgn which read "Divisional Baths." In a wooden shed in the rear we could hear a wheezy old engine pumping water. The joys of the bath are depleted by Empey in the next Installment. (TO B E CONTINUED.) GENIUS INSPIRED BY WAR John Masefteld, English Poet and Nov* elltt, Sees Feast of Spiritual Conceptions In Future. John Masefleld, the poet and novel* 1st, thinks that the devastating war In Enrope by way of compensation will inspire great intellects such as nourished after the Napoleonic struggle: "We shall have new Darwlns, Spencers and Carlyles with new messages that will reach the whole world. We shall have new Shelleys in poetry. People will feast upon new spiritual conceptions as remote as possible from the great tragedy. They will turn to the romantic and fantastic, the beautiful, Just as they did after the Napoleonic wars." That Is a consummation devoutly to be wished. Certainly In the present dearth of genius it is gratifying to believe that the world has a new Shelley and a new Byron In the cradle, born at the outbreak of the war as they were born at the outbrenk of the French revolution, Perhaps there are other Darwlns and Spencers and Cnrlyles to come. But considering that the "First Principles" was published In 1862, "Sociology" In 1872 and the "Descent of Man" in 1871, did the Crimean war and our own Civil war have any part in Inspiration? Shall we infer that the war between the states stimulated mid-Victorian literature while doing little to inspire American letters?—Exchange. Way to Success. Power is the goal of every worthy ambition and only weakness comes from Imitation or dependence on others, says a writer in Success. Power is self-developed, self-generated. We cannot Increase the strength of our muscles by sitting in a gymnasium and letting another exercise for us. Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean you never will be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world. The man who tries to give his children a start In the world so that they will not have so hard a time as he had is unknowingly bringing disaster upon them. What he calls giving them a start probably will give them a setback in the world. Young people need all the motive power they can get They are naturally leaners, Imitators, copiers, and It is easy for them to develop into echoes or Imitations. They will not walk alone while yon furnish crutches; they will lean npon you Just as long as you will let them. One of the greatest delusions that a human being could ever have is that he is permanently benefited by continued assistance from others. Just 8o.

"I thought I had a few drops of German blood in my veins, so I pricked my great toe and let them Mow out. Now I'm reudy to take the oath." So saying, William Strasburger, an applicant for enlistment in the United States marine corps at Newark, N. J., removed his shoe and displayed to the astonished gaze of Sergt. Thomas Green a banduged "little pig that went to market." "How do you know that the blood you let out was German aud not some other kind?" asked Green. "I pricked at a point furthest from my heart," returned Strasburger, who is American-born and pugnaciously anti-Teutonic. But Strasburger can't be a United States marine.

This pity was receutly given at Pinckney and was a complete success in every way. Everybody is invited to attend and enjoy an evening of pure, unadulterated fun. Tne following letter was received by Mrs. E. Hill from her nephew now in France: France, April 20, 1918. Dear Aunt: Received your letter written March 27th. Was glad to hear from you and also from Clara. I would like to answer in kind but for the present will have to make this a community letter. Your letter was the first one I have received that gave me any intimation that anyone had received my letters from over here. I believe i t takes from three to four weeks to come across or go back. We h i v e once since arriving here. We were in the first place just a month' The weather for three weeks before we moved had been fine but the night before we started it began to ratn and i t has rained every day except the l»st two and today it snowed a little. We moved about 15 miles and we marched the whole distance in full equipment in t h e rain. The men were pretty well toughened so it did not bother them much. T h e roads in dry weather are fine but when it rains the top gets soft and the bottom stays hard and you slip and slide. The town we are in now is a bum Httle hole. It would be like being stationed at Jackson and then being ordered to Stockbridge, only Stockbridge would be absolutely sanitary beside this. The house where I am billeted has a door opening from the sitting room into the horse and cow barn.

The chairman appointed three vice-chairmen to take charge of different branches of the U ladifla township bronch as fellews: Mrs. Mary Lilywhite for the North Division, School district No. 3; Mrs. James Barton for the south division, Sch<x>l District No. 8 Fractional; and Mrs. Grace Pool for School District No. 5. This is arranged for the benefit of those s> very far away BO they can have a nearer meeting place and more time for work on meeting days. We know the ladies in the different divisions will fully support these vice-chairmen and thus our workforce can be made more complete. Remember the "Wash Day Bazaar" which will occur May 24. E.

PRESIDENT OPENS RED CROSS DRIVE FOR $100,000,000 IN NEW YORK ADDRESS ANNOUNC E PURPOSE OF U. 8. TO 8ET NO LIMIT ON M A N P O W E R . AMERICA WILL NEVER DESERT THE WEAK AND HELPLESS United States Will Not Be PI verted From fte Purpose ef Winning War By Insincere Peace Offere. New York—The peace offer* of Germany and her allies are mere maneuvers for advantage, of BO value because insincere. American will stand by Russia as well as France—it will never desert unity of feeling, sympathy and purpose Bach as 100 years of peace could not have brought. These were the sentiments and pledgee of Preeldent Wilson in his speech opening the campaign of the American Red Cross for $100,000,000. Text of Wilson's Speech. Mr. Chairman and fellow countrymen: I should be very sorry to think that Mr. Davison in any degree curtailed his exceedingly interesting speech for fear that he was postponing mine, because I am sure you listened with the same intent and intimate interest with which I ltstened to the extraordinarily vivid account he gave of the things which he had realized because he had come in contact with them on the other side of the waters. We compass them with our imagination; he compassed them in his personal experience, and I did not come here to review for you the work of the I UB Red Cross; I am not competent to do j and no man can afford to make a so because I have not had the time or | fortune out of this war. There are the opportunity to follow it in detail. I; men amongst us who have forgotten have come here simply to say a few j that, if they ever saw it. Seme of us words to you as to what it all seems i in the country are not old enough— to me to mean, and it means a great i am old enough—to remember men realise appreciate and admire; but their duty is the duty of force. The duty of the Red Crons is the duty of mercy and succor and friendship. Have you formed a picture in your imagination of what this war la doing for us and for the world? In my own mind 1 am convinced that not a hundred year* of peace could have knitted this nation together as this single year of war has knitted it together; and better even than that, if possible it is knitting the world together. Look at the picture. In the center of the scene, four nations engaged against the world, and at every point of vantage, showing that they are seeking selfish aggrandizement; and, agalnBt them, 23 governments representing the greater part of the population of the world drawn together Into a new sense of community of interest, a new sense of a community of purpose, a new sense of unity of life. Th« secretary of war told me an Interesting incident the other day. He said when he was in Italy a member of the Italian government was explaining to him the many reasons why Italy felt near to the United States: "If you want to try an interesting experiment go up to any one of these troop trains and ask in Emglish how many of them have been in America and see what happens." H« tried the experiment. He went up to a troop train and he said, "How many of you boys have been in Am erica," and he said it seemed to him as if haif of them sprang up: "Me frem 8an Francisco; me from New York; all ever." There was part of heart of America in the Italian army. People that had been knitted were fighting for their native Italy. Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. And this intimate contact of he Red Cross with the peoples who are suffering the terrors and deprivations of this war is going to be one of the greatest instrumentalities of friendship that the world ever know, and the center of the heart of it all, if we sustain it properly, will be this land that we so dearly love. My friend, a great day of duty has come, and duty finds a man's soul as no kind of work can ever find it. May I say this? The duty that faces all now is to serve one another, deal. There are two duties with which we are face to face. The first duty is to win the war. And the second duty, that goes hand in hand with it, is to win it greatly and worthily, showing^ the real quality of our power not only, but the real quality of our purpose and of ourselves. Of course, the first duty, the duty that we must keep in the foreground of our thought until It is accomplish who made fortunes out of the civil war, and you know how they were regarded by their fellow citizens. That was a war to save one country—this Is a war to save the world. Government Accepts Nothing. And your relation to the Red Cross is one of the relations which will relieve you of the stigma. You can't give anything to the government of the United States; it won't accept it. ed Is to win the war. I have heard ((There is a law of congress against gentlemen recently say that we must accepting even services without price. get 5,000,000 men ready. Why limit it T h e o n l T t W a * h a t ^ 6 government to fi 000 000? i w i l 1 accept *t a loan, and duties per- I hare asked the congress of the Uni- loratxl; but it Is a great deal better ted States to name no limit, because ^ * I v e **** t o U n d o r t 0 W a n d y ° u r the congress intends, I am sure, as we * r e a t channel for giving is the Ameriall intend, that every ship that caa c a n R * d Cross, carry men or supplies shall go laden j Down in your hearts you can't take upon every voyage with every man and every supply she can carry. And, we are not to be diverted from the grim purpose of winning the war by any Insincere approaches upon the subject of peace. I can say with a clear conscience that I have tested those Intimations, and have found them insincere. Ijiow recognize them for what they arei an opportunity to have a free hand, particularly in the Sast, to carry out purposes of conquest and exploitation. Keeps Faith In Slavs. Every proposal with regard to accommodation in the west involves a reservation with regard to the east. Now, so far as I am concerned, 1 intend to stand by Russia as well as Prance. The helpless and the friendless are the very ones that need friends and succor; and if any man in Germany thinks we are going to sacrifice anybody for our own sake I tell them now they are mistaken. For the glory of this war, my fellow citizens, in-so-far as we are concerned is that it Is, perhaps for the first time in history, an unselfish war I could not be proud to fight for a > U that you caa spare, and don't con- '•:? selftah purpose, but I can be proud to fight for mankind. If they wish peace, let them come forward through accredited repreaentattves and lay their terms on the table. We hare laid ours and they know what they **•€. ^ Mest of World Against Foe. But behind all this grim purpose, my friends, lies the opportunity to demonstrate not only force, which will he gaaianstratad to the utmost, but the opportunity to demonstrate charsnd it is that opportunity that tv* m a * c—spkuousry in,too Of Ito fed Cross. Not that our efo sot rspjsssiit oar for tfejoy do, sad ft is a very much satisfaction, in the last analysis, on lending money to the government ot the United States, because the interest which you draw will burn our pockets; it Is a commercial transaction, and some men have even dared to cavil at the rate of interest, not knowing the incidental commentary that concentrates upon their atitu'de. But when you give—something of your hear, something of your soul, something of yourself goes with the gift, particularly when it is given in such form that it never can come back by way of direct benefit to yourself. You know there is the old cynical definition of gratitude, as "the lively expectation of favors to come." Well there is no expectation of favors to come in this kind of giving. These things are bestowed in order that the world may be a fitter place to live In, that men may be succored, that homes may be restored; that suffering may be relieved; that the face of the earth may have the blight of destruction taken away from it and that wherever "force goes, there shall go mercy and helpfulness. And when you give, give absolutely W'If:A. sider yourself liberal in the giving If you give with self adultation, you are not giving at all, you are giving to your own vanity; but if yon give until it hurts, then your heart blood foes into it. Foe Belittles Red Cross. And think what we have here. We eall it the American Red Cross, but it Is merely a branch of a great internatonal organisation which is not only rwoognlxed by the statutes of each tbo civilised governments of the world, bat It is recognized by International agreement sad treaty as the recognised -mad accepted Instrumentality of more/ sod succor. And oao of the despsst stains that roots upon the repof the Ooraaa aratf 1s they have not respected the Red Cross. That goes to the root of the matter. They have not respected the instrument they themselves participated in setting up as the thing which no man was to touch, because it was the expedition of common humanity. We are members, by being members of the American Red Cross, of a great fraternity and comradship which extends all over the world, and this cross which these ladies bore today is an emblem of Christianity itself. Women's Help Appreciated. It fills my imagination, ladies and gentlemen, to think of the women all over his country who are busy every night and doing the work of the Red Cross; busy with a great eagerness to find out the most serviceable thing to do, busy with a forgetfulness of all the old frivolities of their social relationships, ready to curtail the duties of the household in order that they may contribute to this common work that al ltheir hearts are engaged in and in doing which their hearts become acquainted with each other. When you think of this, you realize how the people of the United States are being drawn together into a great intimate family whose heart is being used for the service of the soldiers not only, but for the service of civilians, where they suffer and are lost in a maze of distresses and distractions. And you have, then, this noble pic» ture of justice and mercy as the two servants of liberty. For only where men are free do they think the thoughts of sympathy; only when they are free are they mutually helpful; only where they are free do they realize their dependence upon one another and their comradeship in a common interest and common necessity. Tells An Indian Story. I heard a story told the other day that was ridiculous, but it is worth repeating, because it contains the (truth. An Indian was enlisted in the army. He returned to the reservation on a furlough. He was asked what he thought of it. He said: "No much good; too much salute; not much shoot." Then he was asked: "Are you going back?" "Yes." "Well, do you know what you are fighting for?" "Yes, me know; fight to make whole damn world democratic party." He had evidently misunderstood some innocent sentence of my own. But after all, though there is no party purpose in it, he got it right, as far as the word "party;" to make the whole world democratic in the sense of community of Interest and of purpose, and if you ladies and gentlemen could read some of the touching dispatches which come through official channels, for even through these.channels there come voices of humanity that are infinitely pathetic; if you could catch some of those voices that Bpeak the utter longing of oppressed and helpless people all over the world to hear something like the Battle Hymn of the Republic, to hear the feet of the great hosts of liberty going to set them free, to set their minds free, set their lives free, set their children free, you would know what comes into the hearts of those who are trying to contribute all the brains and power they have to this great enterprise of liberty. I summon you to the comradeship, I summon you in this week to say how, much and how sincerely and how unanimously you sustain the heart of the world.

Including the Village of Villesur. A no re 360 Taken Prisoners. London—The Allied armies are not permitting the Germans to "get set" for a serious blow at the western front. Here and there along the line there have been sudden blows at German positions and in all of them ground was captured by the Allies. The French have done the most of this work. On the front east and northeast of Locre, on the northern side of the Lys salient in northern France and just to the west of Kemmel, where some of the more intense fighting of the war has been going on, the French have advanced their line over a two-mile front. Far to the south, near Rheims, the French have advanced int othe enemy's positions as far as the third line of trenches.

An considerable number of bombs were dropped. "No details of casualties or damage are yet available." Russian Land Question. "The economists, sociologists and statesmen of Russia seem agreed that communal land-holding is an outgrown system. They want the rouahiks'to be* acted upon by the same Individualizing: und stimulating forces which have put' the French farmer and the American farmer so far ahead of him. Stolypia had been so impressed by the mob psychology of the community peasant that he put through a law requiring the dbstchina, on the demand of any member, to give him his share of the land in a single plot, which then became his individual property. In ten years many such associations were dissolved, and 7,000,000 peasants— about 20 per cent of those under^the communal system—had their land 'divided out' and went to live on It Uke American farmers."—Exchange.

London.—The foremost infantry action of the last 24 hours was a brilliant dash by Australian troops into the German positions in and around the hamlet 'of Villesur-Ancre, which lies northwest of Morlancourt, between that village and Albert.

K wmmmm m PINCKNEY DISPATCH r*i V j Sf w^' Qridin Of JL jjtr^t^Ij ZZZO jQajr 7W& //<m> Annual Ceremony Was Inaugurated By Her Husband a* «* ** IHK widow of a great general who led many victorious charges In the Civil war, and mother of a soldier who laid down his life In the •service of his country, Mrs. John A. Logan, has given her time and efforts .since the commencement of foreign hostilities to work for the afflicted of Hie present war. "I cannot rest, and will not, so long as strength is given me, for I know what sorrow and suffering is wrought upon the helpless by \yar," she said. It was in the spacious workroom at the top of her beautiful home in Washington that her visitor found her. It was not a sewing day, and instead of European work, Mrs, Logan was sitting at her desk absorbed In the perusal of letters, papers and books which related to the long past of her own life, to a war nearer home and to her participation In the events which made American history at a crucial period of this country's life, and It was of those things she was in a mood to talk. "I have been thinking of what the coming Memorial day must mean to us all," she said. "The survivors of the Civil war are rapidly passing off the stage of life, but those who yet remain from that time, and they who are following us, will see to it that homage Is done to those who paid the price of a nation's salvation. It is a duty we owe and It should never die. "This year, as we strew with flowers the graves of those who died for a just cause we cannot but think of the terrible cataclysm of suffering and death now overwhelming Europe, and the great range of memorial days which will be Its heritage ere long. "I prefer the name Memorial day to Decoration day, for although ours la a national holiday, it should not be forgotten that It is a day of national remembrance of the dead and ought to be observed with seemly quietude and dignity. I have been very much pained these later years to note that many of the younger generation have lost all sight of the original meaning of the day, and that in some places it Is celebrated by such diversions as "fcorse racing and other riotous sports which seem to be a very prostitution of the main idea of the occasion. "The Grand Army of the Republic has made strong protestations against the misuse of our national day of mourning for the soldiers who gave their lives for our country, and it Ts good to note that the Sons of Veterans, who are now filling the places of their fathers, take a very serious view of their duty In consecrating this one day to sacred memory and affectionate tribute to our soldier dead, and are carrying out appropriate programs at the various grounds where soldiers of the Civil war lie buried. "I can, too, say in all truth that Memorial day has brought forth a great harvest of worthily expressed sentiment the occasion having inspired men and women to utterance* of real eloquence, beautiful thoughts and true poetry, because the theme is worthy of the best that loyal hearts can feel and gifted tongues or pens express. "Yes, Decoration day was the thought and institution of General Logan, and I recall every detail of every Incident which led to its Inauguration. It was In March, 1868, that General Logan, redeeming a promise mad* during the election campaign of Grant and Colfax, made an engagement for himself and me to accompany his good friend, Col. Charles L. Wilson, edl* of the Chicago Journal, upon a visit to the city of Richmond and the battlefields of Virginia. The colonel, who was a bachelor, was accompanied by hit fiancee, Miss Tartar of Bottom. "General Logan wan then In eangrena, and matters of great important y^br ofo/zrrA/.gp&s^ and in consequence my husband could not accompany us. The colonel Insisted upon my taking my two children with us, although both were very small, my little boy, John A. Logan, Jr., a mere baby. However, he regarded the trip* in the light of an historic pilgrimage and felt that the children should see some of the battlefields over which distinguished generals had led their armies. "It was a cold, bleak day on which we arrived in Richmond, and the hotel was a desolate place of refuge. It afforded one of the evidences of the privations which the people of the Confederacy had suffered. These evidences were very plentiful throughout the city, as we later discovered. The vehicle which Colonel Wilson found for our conveyance for the drive to the battlegrounds nearby was a wretched carriage drawn by two miserably poor horses. The driver was the picture of dejection, and the small boy who served as footman was no better, and he shivered from head to foot with the cold. "As we drove over the battlefields we observed colored- people picking up the bullets and pieces of shell, shrapnel, minnle balls, bits of broken cannon and other Iron material. Foundries had set a price on this product, and It afforded quite a livelihood for a time to the poor about fortified cities and hattleflelds. "We visited the churchyards and cemeteries at Richmond and Petersburg made historic through the struggles which had taken place In and around those cities. There were a great many burial grounds In those neighborhoods, because, the glebes, which were land grants from England to the Episcopal church In America, had still existed as church grants at the time of the Civil war. and were used as burial grounds for the citizens and soldiers. "In the burying ground near Petersburg we saw many hundreds of graves of Confederate soldiers, and they nearly all bore a small, faded flag, and the dark, withered wreaths and remains of their floral decoration of nearly a year before. These mournful mementoes of the bygone tragedy of the South touched me deeply, and on our return home from the tour of the battlefields I told my husband of this tribute of the Southern men and women to their soldier dead. "General Logan reciprocated my feeling" as to the fitness of the sentiment expressed. He said that it was a revival of the ancient custom, for the people of ages past In old countries had performed the* rite of decorating the graves of their dead heroes with •flowers. He considered the matter for a time, and then said he did not see why it might not be revived in the case of the fallen Union soldiers. "General Logan, who was then commander la chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, decided that he would issue an order for the decoration of the soldiers' graves on the following 30th of May. Sending for General Chlpmaa, adjutant general of the Grand Army of the Republic, he dictated order No. 11 for the first dec* oration of Union soldiers' graves which ever took place in the United States. T h a t order It now read at Deeeratloa day caremoej place oter the graves «c Union who fought in the Civil war. It Is as follows," and Mrs. Logan picked out from the papers she had at hand and read : Headquarters, Grand Army of the Republic, Adjutant General's Office, 41tt HtJi Street, Washington, D. C . May 5, 1868. . GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 11. 1. The 30th of May, 1868, Is designated for the purpose of strewing flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died In defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie In almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will, in their own way, arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect aa circumstances may permit. We are organized, comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose, among other things, "of preserving and | strengthening those kind and fraternal ,' feelings which have bound together the i soldiers, sallora and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a barricade against our country and its foes? Their soldier Uvea were the reveille of freedom to a race in chains, and their deaths the tattoo of rebellious tyranny In arms. We should guard their graves with sacr*i vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defender*. Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths Invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no vandalism or avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic. If other eyes grow dull, and other hands slack, and other hearts cold In the solemn trust, ours shall keep It well aj long as the light and warmth of life remain to us. Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor; let us In this solemn presence renew our pledge to aid and aaslst those whom they have left among us, a sacred charge upon a nation's gratitude—the soldier's widow and orphan. 2. It is the purpose of the commander In chief to Inaugurate this observance | with the hope that It will be kept up j from year to year, while a survivor of the i war remains to honor the memory of his j departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press 1o call attention to this order and lend Its friendly aid in bringing !t to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country In time for simultaneous compliance therewith. 8. Department commanders will use every effort to make this order effective. By order of JOHN A. LOGAN, Commander 1n Chief. N. P CHTPMAN, (Official) Adjutant General. WM. T. COLLINS. A. A. G. "The loyal people of the country \ took most kindly to the Idea," said Mrs. Logan, "and my husband's anticipations were fully realized by the observance of .the day in every state in the Union, the exercises being characterized by observations very much the same as those which take place today. "After many inquiries and some discussion it was decided that May 80 was probably the most appropriate day for the universal observance of the ceremony in every state In the Union, and General Logan finally succeeded in making the day a national holiday. MOn Memorial day there Is no distinction made between officers and men. Death, the great leveler, makes them all heroes alike, and plaudits and blossoms are distributed with equal generosity between the great generals and the privates. "There are few now living who wo* treat honors during fhe Civil war. All the great commanders of armies have passed away, and there are but few lift who commanded corps, divisions, brigades or regiments. The patriotic organisations who have so faithfully preserved the memory of their fallen comrades, are also ranch depleted in membership. It is therefore, to the men of the younger we must look to keep the mmnry of those who 6 * 4 (Conducted by the N a t i o n a l Woman'* Chribtian Teiuptriujee Union.) T H E WOMEN'S PETITION. In no better way can this great and significant petition be described than by quoting from the speech of Senator Jones of Seattle in presenting a copy of that notable document to the Unit* ed States senate. "A few days ago," he aaid, *'one of the most remarkable petitions ever prepared was presented to the president of the United Staeta, asking ia very respectful terms that he exercise the power that congress has given him and, as a war measure, prohibit the further use of grain and other food products in the manufacture of malt and vinous liquors. That petition was signed by many prominent women of this country of every class and occupation. It was signed by the representatives of all the big woman's organizations in the Country. It represented 6,000,000 of tht j atriot- 1c women of this country, of the most representative character, not only in their own persons but for those whom they represented us the officials of organizations of various kinds. This is distinctly a 'win the war' appeal by the patriotic women of this country, who are (loins everything in their power to brin^,' this war to a successful termination. The women of America are doing their part now, a;:> they have always done it in the history of the nation, and they presented the petition to the president as a war proposition. They believe the course suggested by them would havt? much to do with the winning of tin war, and as patriots, and not as parti' sans of any particular idea, they pre< eented it to him. "I think this Is the first time in the history of the temperance movement that all of the leading organizations of women have united in behalf of a particular proposition. They have all united in behalf of this one proposition and they are ail represented In the petition that was presented to the president. "This petition was prompted by that great organization, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and, in my Judgment, will take rank among the historic petitions of the world." Miss Gordon's statement to the president, the text of the petition, and every signature affixed thereto, was, at Senator Jones' request, printed in the Congressional Record, occupying more j than eight pages of that periodical, j NERVOUS PROSTRATION May be Overcome by Lydim E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound -*- Thia Letter Prove* It.

ANDRSW8, Buiui L>rstrlbuter, SOUTH HAV1S.N, MICHIGAN HAD THRIFT STAMP IN SIGHT Boy Was by No Means Idling, Though He Did Not Appear Industriously Engaged. THEIR ONE ADVANTAGE. "Had I wanted to vote for liquor," said one of the members of the Mary* land legislature after that body had voted for ratification of the federul amendment, "I could have gut enough for my vote to have made me a rich man; many times a rich man." The only advantage the liquor Interests have over the advocates of prohibition In the ratification campaign is that they are not hampered by scruples in [ their choice of tactics pursued, com- J ments the Union Signal. It is with j them a life and death struggle, and apparently they will not hesitate to resort to any measures known to corrupt politics to gain their ends. The [ members of the state law-making bodies will be submitted to severe testa when it comes to a vote on ratification, and no candidate for the position of legislator should be considered nt the primaries by the friends of prohibition who has not demonstrated that he is absolutely incorruptible; who cannot show that he is rooted and grounded in the principle of prohibition and who in his ante-election pledge will not make a public promise regarding his attitude on the wet or dry question. Senator Ktmte Nelson of Minnesota told this story at a dinner party as an illustration of the old saying that appearances are sometimes deceiving : One afternoon a woman was walking through a suburban village when she noticed a, small boy leaning on a gate in front of one of the residences. The boy's attitude did not betray any great ambition. "I am surprised to see you standing here, my little man," said the woman kindly. "Why do you Idla wway your time on such a beautiful afternoon?" "I am not idling," defensively declared the boy. "I am working for a Thrift stamp." "Working for a Thrift stamp?" wonderingly responded the woman, who couldn't see any signs of labor. "Yes, nia'atu," returned the boy. "Mr. Smith is sitting on the verandn with sister, and lie told me that he would give me the price of a stamp if 1 would watch for father."—I'hiladel* phia Telegraph.

AGAIN POOR OLD KANSAS. "Army officers, who are slow usnallf about handing out compliments, alf remark on the physical, mental and moral *iake-up of the Kansas troop*,'* says Governor Capper. "They say no state ever sent a better type of young men into the service. It Is noteworthy that not a single Kansas boy was rejected .on account of alcoholism and that the percentage of rejections for physical disabilities was smaller among Kansas troops than those of any other state. "Many Kansas tov^ns did not hare to send a single man to the first draft army. Their quotas had been more than filled by volunteers. "General Leonard "Wood, commander of Camp Fnnston, frequently has taken occasion to say In public addresses, that the standards of living In Kansas have not only Increased the efficiency of Kansas soldiers 25 per cent but that the prohibitory and other welfare laws of the state have made It comparatively easy to conduct a modal • n a y camp at Funaton.* There la hot ea» way at QtTttttfttt *m j&»*n ' : ; • # %?2A '••ym iV-t. f.7 PINCKNEY DISPATCH Qrand Trunk Time Table h o r U K tuiiYciiA-..,; .'-* res.lie:* g r a i n s E a s t i*46- ilo. 45—4:41 p.

On account of increased demand of A n t h r a c i t e coal for g o v e r n m e n t uses and the need of hard coal for industries engaged in war work in t h e East, the supply available f o r Michigan and o t h e r Western States will be limited. Th,e g o v e r n m e n t intends coal shipm e n t s to be made with the least possible haul. Practicaily al! the hard coal comes from Pennsylvania. As t h e whole m a t t e r is one of transportation and a, shortage existing in cars a n d motive power, the hard coal will not be equitably distributed over the country as i t should be. U n d e r the present zoning plan Michigan is denied P o c a h o n t a s coal. A r e a s o n a b l e supple of soft coal can now be obtained and citizens should a t once o r d e r and have delivered to them prior to J u n e 15th, a t least one-half of their e x p e c t e d r e q u f r m t n t s for n e x t winter.

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of «he Lusitaniu, with the loss of American lives, Arthur CJuy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short exntrience as a recruiting officer in Loudon, he Is sent to training quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of •'cooties." After a brief period of training Empty's company is sent Into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the buiiets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lu,rks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In No Man's Land. nHted wrist watch—it was eleven o'clock. Before entering this trench, word was passed down the line, "no talking or smoking, lead off in single file, covering party first.'' This covering party consisted of 30 men. armed with rifles, bayonets, bombs, and two Lewis machine guns. They were to protect us and guard against a surprise attack while digging In No Man's Land. The communication trench was about half a mile long, a zigzagging ditch, eight feet deep and three feet wide. Now and again, German shrapnel would whistle overhead and burst in our vicinity. We would crouch against the earthen walls while the shell fragments "slapped" the ground above us. Once Fritz turned loose with a machine gun, the bullets from which "cracked" through the air and kicked up the dirt on the top, scattering sand and pebbles, which, hitting • our steel helmets, sounded like hailstones. Upon arrival in the fire trench an officer of the Royal Engineers gave us our Instructions and acted as guide. We were to dig an advanced trench two hundred j'ards from the Germans (the trenches at this point were six hundred yurds apart). Two winding lanes, five feet wlfle, had been cut through our barbed wire, CHAPTER XIII—Continued. We lined up in front of the baths, soaked with perspiration, and piled our rifles into stacks. A sergeant of the II. A. M. C. with a yellow band around his left arm on which was J'S. IV (sanitary police) in black letters, took charge, ordering us to take off our equipment, unroll our puttees and unlace boots. Then, starting from the right of the line, he divided us into squads of fifteen. 1 happened to be In the first sqund. We entered a small room, where we were given five minutes to undress, then filed Into the bathroom. In here there were fifteen tuns (barrels sawed in two) half full of water. Each tub contained a piece of laundry soap. The sergeant informed us that we had just twelve minutes In which to take our baths. Soaping ourselves all over, we took turns In rubbing each other's backs, then by means of n garden hose, washed the soap off. The water was ice cold, but felt fine. Pretty soon a bell rang and the water was turned off. Some of the slower ones were covered with soap, but this mnde no difference to the sergeant, who chased us into another room, where we lined up In front of a little window, resembling the box office in n *henter, and received clean underwear The woolen underwear issued was itching like the mischief. After eating our dinner of stew, which had been kept for us—it was now four o'clock—we went into the creek and had another bath. If "Holy Joe" could have heard our remarks about the divisional baths and army red tape he would have fainted at our wickedness. But Tommy is only human after all. I just mentioned "Holy Joe" or the chaplain in an Irreverent sort of way, but no offense was meant, as there were some very brave men among them. There are so many Instances of heroic deeds performed under fire in rescuing the wounded that it would take several books to chronicle them, but I have to mention one instance performed by a chaplain, Captain Hall by name, in the brigade on our left, because it particularly appealed to me. A chaplain is not a fighting man; he is recognized as a noncombatant and carries no arms. In a charge or trench raid the soldier gets a feeling of confidence from contact with his rifle, revolver, or bomb he Is carrying. He has something to protect himself with, something with which he can Inflict harm on the enemy—In other words, he is able to get his own back. But the chaplain Is empty-handed, and is at the mercy of the enemy If lie encounters them, so It Is doubly brave for him to go over the top, under fire, and bring in wounded. AJso a chaplain Is not required by the king's regulations to go over In a charge, but this one did, made three trips under the hottest kind of fire, each time returning with a wounded man on his >nck. On the third trip he received .! bullet through his left arm, but never sported the matter to the doctor until late that night—Just spent his time administering to the wants of the woundd lying on stretchers. The chaplains of the British army are a fine, manly set of men, and are greatly respected by Tommy. but, at the time, didu't notice it; my journey was too urgent. When the roll was called we found that we had gotten It In the nose for 63 casualties. Our artllJery put a barrage on Fritz' front-line and communication trenches and their machine-gun and rltie fire suddenly ceased. Upon the cessation of this fire, stretcher bearers went out to look for killed and wounded. Next day we learned that 21 of our men had beea killed and 37 wounded. Five men were missing; lost in the darkness, they must have wandered over into the Gerniaja lines, where they were either killed of captured. Speaking of stretcher bearers and wounded, it 1B very hard for the average civilian to comprehend the enormous cost of taking care of wounded and the war In general. He or she gets so accustomed to seeing billions of dollars in print that the significance of the amount is passed over without thought From an official statement published In one of the London papers, It Is stated that it costs between six and seven thousand pounds ($30,000 to $35,- 000) to kill or wound a soldier. This result was attained by taking the cost of the war to date and dividing it by the killed and wounded. It may sound heartless and inhuman, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that from a military standpoint it Is better for a man to be killed than wounded. Empey tells of many ways the soldiers have of amusing themselves, in the next installment. (TO B E CONTINUED.) IRREPARABLE LOSS TO WORLD Literary Treasures Destroyed by th« Huns at Louvain Can Never Be Replaced. No reparation can restore to the world the galleries where Charles V., ruler of almost nil Europe, pored over old learning, asserts the Toronto Mall and Empire. There is no way to replace the 250,000 manuscripts which went up In smoke and ashes on Aug. 27. 1914. Mankind Is permanently >oorer by the destruction of complete sets of all sixteenth-century editions of Virgil, nineteen sixteenth-century editions of Torrence, ten of Sallust, complete sixteenth-century editions of Tacitus, Seneca, Martial.

Rare copies of Aristotle and the Imperishable Greeks are lost forever; priceless early Bibles, whole libraries of ecclesiastical history and civil laws, texts illuminated and nltialed and bordered by the patient labor of Spanish. German and Lowland monks. "Here was the truth regardng the Spanish Conquest and the grip of the Inquisition." There were math* ematlcal treasures also. A Bathroom at the Front and towels. From here we went into the room where we had first undressed. Ten minutes were allowed In which to get Into ©or "clabber." My pair of drawers came up to my chin and the shirt barely reached my diaphragm, but they were clean—no atranffers on them, so I was aatiafled. At the expiration of the time allotted we were turned out and finished e t f dreaming on the grass. W i t * a* of the company had bathed IMHaa ***** *t march back to billets, wma the amy. We were eaverad with CHAPTER XIV. ' Picks and Shovels. I had not slept long before the sweel voice of the sergeant Informed that "No. 1 section had clicked for another blinking digging party." I smiled to myself with deep satisfaction. I had been promoted from a mere digger to' a member of the Suicide club, and was exempt from all fatigues. Then came an awful shock. The sergeant looked over in my direction and said : "Don't you bomb throwers think you are wearing top hats out here. 'Cordin' to orders you've been taken up on the strength of this section, and will have to do your bit with the pick and shovel, same as the rest of us." I put up a bowl on my way to get my shovel, but the only thing that resulted was a loas of good humor on my p a r t We fell In at eight o'clock, outside of our billets, a sort of masquerade party. I was disguised as a common laborer, had a.pick and shovel, and about one hundred empty sandbags. The rest, about two hundred In alL were equipped likewise: picks, shovels, sandbags, rifles and ammunition. The party moved out In column of fours, taking the road leading to the trenches. Several times we had to string out In the ditch to let long-columns of limbers; artillery and supplies get past The marchimg, under these coaeH* tions, was nsvaasarUy stow.

From these lines white tape hud been Inid on the ground to the point where we were to commence work. This In order that we would not get lost In the darkness. The proposed trench was also laid out with tape. The covering party went out first After a short wait two scouts came back with Information that the working party was to follow and "carry on" with their work. In extended order, two yards apart, we noiselessly crept across No Man's Land. It was nervous work; every minute we expected a machine gun to open fire on us. Stray bullets "cracked" around us, or a ricochet sang overhead. Arriving at the^ taped diagram . of the trench, rifles slung around our shoulders, we lost no time in getting to work. We dug as quietly as possible but every now and then the noise of a pick or shovel striking a stone would send the cold shivers down our backs. Under our breaths we heartily cursed the offending Tommy. At intervals a star shell would go up from the German lines and we would remain motionless until the glare of its white light died o u t When the trench had reached a depth of two feet we felt safer, because It would afford us cover in case w« were discovered and fired on. The digging had been in progress about two hours, when suddenly heil seemed to break loose in the form of machine-gun and rifle fire. ^~ We dropped down on our bellies in the shallow trench, bullets knocking up the ground and snapping In the air. Then shrapnel butted in. The music was hot and Tommy danced. The covering party was having a rough time of i t ; they had no cover; just had to take their medicine. Word was passed down the line to beat it for oar trenches. We needed no urging; grabbing our tools and stopping low, we legged it serosa No Man's Land.

I First Irish Coaching Company. In 1815, an Italian, named Bianconl, started the first coaching company in Ireland, running long cars over various regular routes. Long cars soon became the safest and most reliable means of traveling over Ireland, and Bianconi turned rich and prosperous. Writing in or about 1842, Mr. and Mrs. Hall, who have written much of Ireland, tell us that "persons of the highest respectability" used the long cars for traveling. At this time, although these cars passed through 128 towns, they had not made their way Into the north of Ireland. The cars varied considerably in size, requiring from one to four horses. The fare, even over the rockiest roads in the West, was twopence farthing a mile. The Halls carefully explain that passengers were provided with "dry n 1 comfortable horsehair cushions and aprons" and that. In wet weather, the long cars never Journeyed more than two stages wlthou7 changing the cushions. Eucalyptus Valuable Tree. . Eucalyptus will grow under many adverse conditions, eo long as they are protected from frost The young trees cannot stand frost and this fact has restricted the growth of the species to certain favorable sections of California and the Southwest On the other hand, the trees will thrive oa very poor soil and they do not require very much attention. Some of the largest commercial plantation*, maintained by railroad companies for tlenmking purposes, are located along tbs snores of the Pacific ocean near Saa Diego, where their principal moisture comes from the heavy fog* that roll la from the sea, and which are absorbed by the leaves. ^Spoiled the Qoad Thing.

Without good red blood a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. In the spring is the best time to take stock of one's condition. If the blood, is thin and watery, face pale or pimply, generally weak, tired and listless, one should take a spring tonic. One that will do the spring housecleaning, an old-fashioned herbal remedy that was used by everybody nearly 50 years ago is still safe and sane because it contains no alcohol or narcotic. It is made up of Blood root Golden Seal root Oregon Grape root Queen's Toot, Stone root, Black Cherry barkr-extracted with glycerine and made into liquid or tablets. This blood tonic was, first put out by Dr. Pierce in ready-to-use form and since then has been sold by million bottles as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If druggists do not keep this in tablet form, send 60 cents for a vial to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N? Y. Kidney disease carries away a lajcge percentage of our people. What Is to be done? The answer Is easy. Eat less meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of water between meals, and take an uric acid solvent after meals for a while, such AS Anuric (double strength), obtainable at almost any drug store. It was first discovered by Dr. Pierce. Most every one troubled with uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves the uric acid a*s hot water does sugar.

AIRCRAFT DIVISION SEPARATE Promotion* for Bliss and March said to Have Become Neceaaary for the Conduct of the War. Washington—President Wilson mad> nominations which will provide the United States army with three officers of the high rank of general. He also separated th© aircraft division from the signal corps before the ink wac dry on his signature to the Overman bill, which provided authority for the latter step. Major-General Peyton March was named to be chief of staff. The office carries the rank of full general. General March has been serving as acting chief of staff since Major- General Taaker H. Bliss went to Europe. General Bliss was nominated to be brevet general and designated as permanent representative Of the United States on the inter-Allied war council which meets at Versailles. General John J. Pershing, as commander- in chief of the American expeditionary forces, already has the rank of full general. The promotions for March and Bliss are said to have become necessary on account of the constantly increasing responsibility of American commanders for the conduct of the war. Two other nominations are of extraordinary interest, as they directly concern the national army. They are: Brigadier-General Frank W. Coe, national army, to be chief of coast artillery with the rank of major-general. Brigadier-General John D. Barrette. national af"my, to be brigadier general in the regular army. In the reorganization of the aircraft, department, Major-General W1I. Ham L. Kenley is designated by the president as director of military aeronautics. John D. Ryan, the recently appoin*. ed chairman of the aircraft board, has been made executive officer of the bureau of aircraft production. Major-General George O. Squior, who has exercised general authority over aircraft matters until now, will in the future confine his activities to the signal corps. ROADS TO SPEND $937,961,318 Michigan Lines Well Taken Care of in Allotments for Year. • » \ ' ^ > ~ Washington—Railroads under government operation this year will spend nearly $1,000,000,000 for additions, betterments and equipments, or approximately three times as much as in any one of the last three years. Total capital expenditures approved by the railroad administration as announced are $937,961,318. Of this sum $440,01,000 will be spent for additions and betterments, $479,- 686,000 for equipment and $18,203,000 for track extension. The figures disclose Director General McAdoo's determination to let the railroads make many improvements which they had neglected during the last three years. Extensions, however, are not encouraged. The railroad administration eliminated $349,247,000, or nearly one-fourth of the railroad's proposals. The following allotments were made to Michigan lines: Michigan Central, $20,027,000; Per* Marquette, $8,419,000; Ann Arbor, $2,- 078,000, and Detroit Terminal, $356,- 000.

Don't Be Afraid of Your Meals Take "Eatonic" and Laugh At Stomach Troubles H. L. Kramer, the man who originated Cascarets, has discovered a sure, safe, quick-acting relief for bad stomachs. He named it EATONIC for your stomach's sake. You can cat anything you like now and digest it in comfort, for stomach ease is positively assured if you eat an EATONIC tablet regularly after each meal. EATONIC acts directly with t h e food the moment it enters the stomach. It immediately checks any tendency toward too much acid and enables the food to pass from the stomach into the bowel in a sweetened condition, and thus prevents the formation of sour distressing gases that upset digestion and cause a bloated, dull, lumpy feeling that makes your POOD REPEAT. EATONIC enables you to eat your fill and laugh at Indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, "sour stomach" and all the other bugaboos of "the-man-afraidof- his-stomach." Kramer says: "EATONIC should be In every home ready for use after every meal. An EATONIC tablet will aid you naturally to easily digest and assimilate—your food can be thoroughly enjoyed without the slightest danger of misery from acid stomach. I strongly advise every one to take EATONIC after meals. To correct bad stomachs and keep them In perfect condition, It is a most wonderful discovery." If EATONIC fails to give you prompt stomach relief, your money will be refunded : 50c buys a large box at any drug store. Or write to Eatonlc Remedy Co., 1018 S. Wabash Ave., Chicago, U. S. A. v r\f*%]\I* T* think that because your MJxJll M stomach can digest food you are proof against indigestion. The most important digestive work is done by the bowels, liver and kidneys. Unless these are active and work in harmony, you are in danger of self-poisoning.

Baseball players, as well as jockeys, professional golfers and other professional sportsmen, General Crowder said today, will be affected by the regulations If strictly enforced. General Crowder said he did not desire to make specific rulings at this time and would make rulings only when cases came to him from local boards after July 1. Bulletin. Washington, May 23.—Theatrical performers have been excepted from the new draft regulations at the direction of Secretary Baker, who is said to feel that the people cannot do without all amusement in war time and that other amusements could be dispensed with more readily. Washington, May 23.—Habitual idlers, ball players, gamblers, bartenders, and many others are included in an edict Issued today by Provost Marshal General Crowder, providing that every man of draft age must work or fight after July 1, under a drastic amendment to the selective service regulations. All draft registrants engaged in what are held to be nonuseful occupations are to be haled before local boards and given their choice of a new job or the army. Gamblers, race track and bucket shop attendants and fortune tellers head the list, but those who will be reached by the new regulation also include waiters and bartenders, theater ushers and attendants, passenger elevator operators and other attendants of clubs, hotels, stores, etc., domestics and clerks In stores. Deferred classification granted on account of dependents will be disregarded entirely In applying the rule. A man may be at the bottom of class 1, or even In class 4, but If he fails within the regulation and refuses to take useful employment he will be given a new number in class 1 that will send him Into the military service forthwith. Local boards are authorized to use discretion only where they find that enforced change of employment would result In disproportionate hardship upon his dependents. May Solve tha Labor Problem. The statement of the provost marshal general's office is as follows: "Provost Marshal General Crowder today announced an amendment to the selective service regulations which deals with the great question of compelling men not engaged in a useful occupation immediately to apply themselves to some form of labor, contributing to the general good. The idler, too, will find himself confronted with the alternative of finding suitable employment or entering the army. "This regulation provides that after July 1, any registrant who is found by a local board to be a habitual Idler or sot engaged In some useful occupation shall be summoned before the board, given a chance to explain and, In the absence of a satisfactory explanation, to be Inducted Into the military service of the United States. "Any local board will be authorized t o take action, whether it has an original jurisdiction of the registrant o r Dot; In other words, any man loafing around a poolroom In Chicago may be held to answer to a Chicago board even thoagh he m&y have registered In •Hew Tors: and lived there most of his Ufa* t •Tfce regnlattont which apply to Idle tngtstraiita will be deemed to apply also to gamblers of all d******»tss» and telstfrvoyaoi™' 4 w%« 1st tssVaaiMee of -*.. maw "Tlie new regulation will also affect the following classes : "(a) Persons engaged in the aervl-g of food and drink, or either, in public places, including hotels aad social clubc "(b) l'ussenger elevator operators and attendants, doormen, footmen and other attendants of clubs, hotels, stores, apartment houses, office buildings and bathhouses. "(c) Persons, including ushers and other attendants, engaged and occupied in, and in connection with, games, sports and amusements, excepting actual performers in legitimate concerts, ox>eras or theatrical performance. "(d) Persons employed in domestic service. "(e) Sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mercantile establishments. "Men who are engaged as above or who are idlers will not be permitted to seek relief because of the fact that they have drawn a later order number or because they have been placed in class II, ill or IV on the grounds of dependency. The fact that he is not usefully employed will outweigh bottt of the above conditions. To Extend N on useful List. "It is expected that the list of nonuseful occupations will be extended from time to time as necessity will require so as to include persons in other employments. "Temporary absences from regular employment not to exceed one week, unless such temporary absences are habitual and frequent, shall not be considered as idleness. Regular vacations will not be considered as absences In this connection. "The regulation further provides that where such a change of employment would compel the night employment of women under circumstances which a board might deem unsuitable for such employment of women the board may take such circumstances Into consideration in making its decision." General Crowder Explains Plan. Explaining the new regulation and the necessity for it, General Crowder said : "The war has so far disorganised the normal adjustment of industrial man power as to prevent the enormous Industrial output and national organization necessary to success. "There is a popular demand for organization of man power, but no direct draft could be imposed at present. "Steps to prohibit idleness and noneffective occupation will be welcomed by our people. "We shall give the Idlers and. men not effectively employed the choice between military service and effective employment. Every man, in the draft age at least, must work or fight. "This is not alone a war or military maneuver. It is a deadly contest of industries and mechanics. Must Copy German Machine. "Germany must not be thought of as merely possessing an array, we must think of her as being an army—an army in which every factory and loom in the empire is a recognized part in a complete machine running night and day at terrific speed. We must make of ourselves the same sort of effective machine. "It is not enough to ask what would happen if every man In the nation turned his hand to effective work. We must make ourselves effective. We must organize for the future. We must make vast withdrawals for the army and immediately close up the ranks of industry behind the gap with an accelerating production of every useful thing in necessary measure. How is this to be done? "The answer Is plain. The first step toward the solution of the difficulty. Is to prohibit engagement by able-bodied men in the field of hurtful employment, idleness or Ineffectual employment, and thus Induce and persuade the vast wasted excess Into useful fields. "The very situation we are now considering, however, offers great possibilities h. improvement of the draft as well as great possibilities for the composition of the labor situation by effective administration of the draft Considering the selective service law, we see two principal causes of detriment of the call to military service— exemption and the order numbers assigned by l o t "The exemptions themselves fall Into two conspicuous categories—dependency and Industrial employment One protects domestic relations, the other the economic interests of the nation. Between the two there Is an inevitable hiatus, for It Is demonstrably true that thousands, If not millions, of dependency exemptions have no effect of Industrial protection whatever. "One of the unanswerable criticisms of the draft has been that it takes men from the farms and from all useful employments and marches them past crowds of Idlers and loafers to tha army. The remedy is simple—to couple the industrial basis with other grounds for exemption and to reqalre that say _ mk pleading exemptlon'on any ground 'atHTnfflr Tike, Lahall alio show that ha U contribatthe n&UtimL tat effectlvsty to tha industrial waft. as IMdI Mle. rs.

During the past year there has been a greater demand for farm lands in Western Canada than for a number ot years past. The demand is for good" farm lands Improved or unimproved. And at an Increase of from ten to fifteen dollars an acre more than the same lands could be had for a couple of years ago. The rise In the price ot every kind of produce grown on these Western lands, in some cases to double and in others to treble the price prevailing before 1914, have attracted and are attracting in ever-Increasing proportion* the men who are anxious to invest their money, and apply their energlee in the production of wheat for which the allied nations are calling with voices which grow louder and more anxious as the months roll on, and the end of the war still seems distant Beef, and more especially bacon, are required in ever greater quantities, and the price of all these things has soared, until it is not a question of what shall we produce, but how much can we produce. Even should this world calamity be brought to a close in six months from now, it will be yeurs before normal pre-war prices prevail, and meantime self-interest if not patriotism is turning the minds of thousands back to the land. The Inevitable consquence has been the rise- In values of land, especially wheat land. The Calgary Herald, commenting on these conditions s a y s : "From inquiries made from leading] dealers In funning and ranching prop-* ertles, and from the Information gathered in other ways, it is known that the value of all land—wheat land,; mixed farming properties, and even, good grazing land—has risen In the last two years 40 per cent. Wheat lands in some districts have practically doubled in price. One dealer In farm lands recently sold three sections for $70 an acre, one extra good quarter went as high as $90, ami another brought $100. These are, of course,; lar^e prices, but that they will be, equaled or even surpassed in the near future is beyond question. There Is a, feature about this rush to the land? from which the most solid hope can, be drawn for the success of the movement. The proper tillage of land, to produce large crops In a climate like ours is now understood and practiced' as it never was in the early days of the province. It would seem too that with the increase of land under cultivation, the seasons are changing and the rainfall becoming greater and more regular. "Crops are being harvested, especially in Southern Alberta, which would have seemed Impossible to the old-time fanner, with his old-fashioned Ideas of breaking and seeding. And at the price now set by the government for wheat and which possibly may be Increased during the coming season, thai return to the practical skilled agriculturist must necessarily be very large., "What matters $10 or even $20 an, acre extra on wheat land when a re* turn as high as 50 bushels and even! more may be taken from every acre sown? With hogs bringing $20 a hundred pounds; beef on the hoof at $12« and mutton $16, while wool under the new government arranged system ofi handling and sale brings 65 cents a pound (and these values cannot fall to any great extent for some years) * the demand for land will continue and values increase in a corresponding de* gree. "There has never been in the history) of Canada a time so favorable for tbtj farmer as the present; self-interest,, . the inspiration of patriotic feeling, task aid freely extended by the goversK^A ment, who are permitting the Import 7 of certain agricultural Implement* free, all •these tend to still further raise the price of Alberta land."—Ao> vertisement War and Birth Rates. In his recent presidential address to the Royal Statistical society, Sir Bernard Mallet declared that the United Kingdom has lost by the fall in births during the war more than -500,000 potential lives. Daring the same period he estimates that Germany has lost 2,600,000 and Hungary L5OO,000. The greatest decline in the birth rate in the central powers it ascribed to the fact that the poorer Classen In those countries have suffered greatly in health and vigor on account of the war, while the corresponding classes in Great Britain have actually enjoyed more favorable conditions than In time s i peace,—Scientific American.

Synopalav—Fired by the sinking ot the Lositanla, with the loss of American Uvea, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jeraey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a ahort experience as a recruiting officer in London, be 1« sent to training quarters In France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empey's company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Erapey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always In the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself fcjy rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and Khovel Eropey has experience as a trench digger In No Man's Land. Much attention is required by wounded men from the corps of doctors and nurses. On listening post detail. CHAPTER XIV—Continued. —JO— If a man Is killed he is burled, and the responsibility of the government ceases, excepting for the fact that his people receive a pension. But If a man its wounded It takes three men from .the firing line, the wounded man and two men to carry bim to the rear to tba advanced first-aid post. Here he Is attended by a doctor, perhaps assisted by two R. A. iL C. men. Then he Is pu% Into a motor ambulance, manned by a crew of two or three. At the field ihospltal, where he generally goes under an anesthetic, either to have his wounds cleaned or to be operated on, be requires the services of about three to five persons. From this point another ambulance ride impresses more men In his service, and then at the ambulance train, another corps of doctors, R. A. M. C. men, Red Cross nurses and the train's crew. From the train he enters the base hospital or casualty clearing station, where a good-alxed 'corps of doctors, nurses, e t c sre kept busy. Another ambulance Journey is next in order—this time to the hospital ship. He crosses the channel, arrives In Blighty—more ambulances and perhaps a ride for five hours on an English Red Cross train with Its crew of Red Cross workers, and at last he reaches the hospital. Generally he stays from two to six months, or longer, In this hospital. From here he Is sent to a convalescent home for six weeks. If by wounds he is unfitted for further service, be Is discharged, given a pension, or committed to a soldiers' nome for the rest of his life—and still the expense piles up. When you realize that all, the ambulances, trains and #hrps, not to mention the man power, used In transporting a wounded man, could be used for supplies, ammunition •and re-enforcements for the troops fit the front. It will not appear strange •that from a strictly military standpoint, a dead man Is sometimes better than a live one (if wounded). Not long after the first digging, party, our general decided, after a careful tour of Inspection of the communication trenches, upon "an ideal spot," as he termed It, for a machine-gun emplacement; took his map, made a dot on it, and as he was wont, wrote Mdig Ibere," and the next night we dug. There were twenty in the party, myself included. Armed with picks. shovels and empty sandbags we arrived at the "Ideal spot" and started digging. The moon was very bright, out we did not care as we were well iont of sight of the German lines* Ws had gotten about three feet 4own, when the fellow next to me, aft- «r a mighty stroke with his pick, let go lot tb* handle, and pinched Ms nose -with bis thumb and forefinger, at the jame time letting out the explosion, "Gott strafe ma- pink, I*m bloody weU •gassed, not *atf X ain't" I quickly turned in bis direction with an inquiring look, at the same Instant reaching for my gas bag. I soon found out what iwaa aUi&ff bim. One whiff was enough land X lost no time In also pinching 0 7 doao. Tbe stanch was awfuL The rest jof the digging party dropped their p i d o and sborels and beat it for the iweather aid* of that solitary pick. The •oflecr came orer and inquired why tbe work bad suddenly ceased, holding our p o K i we simply pointed In tbe direction of tbe smelL B e went orer to tbe pick; immediately clapped his band over his noao, made an "about turn" and came back. Just then our cap- 4ala came along and investigated, but after about a minute said we bad bettar c a n y on with tbe digging, that he did not aee why w e . should hare •topped aa tbe odor was rery faint, W t If aeeeeaery be would allow us oof WtM helmets while digging. B e would * e y a s d ate tbe thing through, but be bad to report back to brigade head* We wished that bad alao bad a data .** at brigade headquarters. With our gas helmets on we again attacked that hole and uncovered the decomposed body of a German ; the pick was sticking In his chest. One of the men fainted. I was that one. Upon this our lieutenant halted proceedings and sent word back to headquarters and word came back that after we filled In the hole we could knock off for the night. This was welcome tidings to ua, because— Next day the general changed the dot on his map and another emplacement was completed the following night. The odor from the dug-up, decomposed human body has an effect which Is hard to describe. It first produces a nauseating feeling, which, especially after eating, causes vomiting. This relieves you temporarily, but soon a weakening sensation follows, which leaves you limp as a dlshrag. Tour spirits are at their lowest ebb and you feel a sort of hopelessness and a mad desire to escape It all, to get to the open fields and the perfume of the flowers In Blighty. There Is a sharp, prickling sensation in the nostrils, which reminds one of breathing coal gas through a radiator in the floor, and Entrance to a Dugout. you want to sneeze, but cannot This was the effect on me, surmounted by a vague horror of the awfulness of the thing and an ever-recurring reflection that, perhaps t sooner or later, would be In such a state and be brought to light by tbe blow of a pick In the hands of some Tommy on a Mtt*nt party. Sereral times I hare experienced this odor, but never could get need to It; tbe enervating sensation waa alwajaj present. It made me hate war and wonder why such things were countenanced by civilisation, and all the spice and glory of tbe conflict would disappear, leering the grim reality.

Listening Poet It was six in the morning when we arrived at our rest billets, and we were allowed to sleep until noon; that is. If we wanted to go without our breakfast For sixteen days we remained ta rest billets, digging roads, drtlliag, and other fatigue*, and then bade lata the front-Use trench. nothing happened that night, but 1be next afternoon I found not that a bomber is general utility wan La a section. About five o'clock in the afternoon our lieutenant came down the trench and stopping in front of a bunch of us on the fire step, with a broad grin on his face, asked: "Who is going to volunteer for listening post tonight? I need two men." It is needless to say no one volunteered, because It is anything but a cushy Job. I began to feel uncomfortable as I knew it was getting around for my turn. Sure enough, with another grin, he said: "Empey, you and Wheeler are due, so come down Into my dugout for Instructions at six o'clock." Just as he left and was going around a traverse. Fritz turned loose with a machine gun and the bullet* ripped the sandbags right ove'r his head. It gave me great pleasure to see him duck against the parapet. He was getting a taste of what we would get later out In front. Then, of course. It began to rain. I knew it was the forerunner of a miserable night for us. Every time I had to go out in front, it just naturally rained. Old Jupiter Pluvlus must have had It In for me. At six we reported for Instructions. They were simple and easy. AH we had to do was to crawl out into No Man's Land, lie on our bellies with our ears to the ground and listen for the tap, tap of the German engineers or sappers who might be tunneling under No Man's Land to establish a minehead beneath our trench. Of course. In our orders we were told not to be captured by German patrols or reconnoltering parties. Lots of breath Is wasted on the western front giving silly cautions. As soon as it was dark, Wheeler and I crawled to our post which was about halfwsy between the lines. It was raining bucketfuls. the ground was a sea of sticky mud and clung to us like glne. We took turns In listening with our ears to the ground. I would listen for twenty minutes while Wheeler would be on the qui vive for German patrols. We each wore a wrisrwatch, and believe me, neither one of us did over twenty minutes. The rain soaked us to the skin and our ears were full of mud. Every few minutes a bullet would crack overhead or a machine gun would traverse back and forth. Then all firing suddenly ceased. I whispered to Wheeler, "Keep your eye skinned, mate; most likely Fritz has a patrol out—that's why the Boches have stopped firing." We were each armed with a rifle and bayonet and three Mills bombs to be j used for defense only. I had my ear to the ground. All of a sudden I heard faint, dull thuds. In a low but excited voice I whispered to Wheeler, "I think they are mining, listen." He put his ear to the ground and in an unsteady voice spoke into my ear: Tank, that's a patrol and It's heading our way. For God's sake keep stllL" I was as s t d as a mouse and was scared stiff. Hardly breathing and with eyes trying to pierce the inky blackness, we waited. I would bare given a thousand pounds to hare been safely in my dugout Then we plainly beard footsteps and our hearts stood stllL A dark form suddenly loomed up tn front of me; it looked as big as the Woolworth building. I could bear the blood rushing through my veins and it sounded aa loud as Niagara fails. Forms seemed to emerge from the darkness. There were seven of them In all. I tried to wish them away. I nerer wished harder In my life. They muttered a few words in German and melted into the blackness. I dldnt stop wishing either. AH of 1 sudden we beard a stumble, a muddy splash, and a muttered "Don* ner und Blitzen." One of tbe Boches had tumbled Into a shell bole. Neither of us laughed. At that time—tt didn't strike us as funny. About twenty minutes after the Germans bad disappeared something from the rear grabbed me by the foot I nearly fainted with fright Then s welcome whisper In a cockney accent "I s'y, myte, we've come to relieve you." Wheeler and I crawled back to our trench; we looked like w«t hens and felt worse. After a swig of rum we were aeon fast asleep on the fire step In our wet eJetbea. The nest morning X w a s u stiff a e e poker and erery joint ached like • bad tooth, but I «V«L£ still all>v; BO If did not matter. CHAPTER XVI. Battery D 238. The day after this I received the glad tidings that I would occupy tbe uiachiue gunners' dugout right near the advanced artillery observation post This dugout was a roomy affair, dry aa tinder, and real cots in i t These cots had been made by tbe R. E.'a who had previously occupied the dugout I was the first to enter and promptly made a signboard with my name and number on it and suspended It from the foot of the must comfortable cot therein. In the trenches It is always "first come, first served," and this is lived up to by all. Two B. F. A. men (Royal Field artillery) from the nearby observation post were allowed the privilege of stopping In this dugout when off duty. One of these men. Bombardier Wilson by name, who belonged to Battery D '238, seemed to take a liking to me. and I returned this fee!lag. ID two days' t!nie we were pretty chummy, and he told me how his battery In the early dnys of the war had put over a *tunt on Old Pepper, and had gotten away with it.

M ' L U ) SUCH A SMART BROTHER But It Is Entirely Probable Sister Did Not Appreciate His Peculiar Form of Wit A young lady In Lake wood Is of the opinion that she Is grown up—In which opinion she Is not encouraged either by her parents or her older brother. She is fifteen, brother Is sixteen. She thinks that young men should be allowed to call on her in the evening; brother Jeers, parents shake their heads. Finally the girl's mother consented to her having a certain approved boy call, provided he carae on a Friday evening. And the excited damsel called the favored youth up on the phone and imparted the glad news. It is presumed that the young man (he was all of eighteen years old) spent a good deal of time at his toilet that evening— certainly the young lady took great care of hers. She was still primping when the swain rang the doorbell. Brother answered. "Ah," began tbe caller, clearing bis throat. "Is Miss Jones at home?" "Gome In," answered Brother, equivocally. Then he went to the foot of the stairs and called— "Molly ! Quit cuttlti' paper dolls an* come downstairs. One of your playmates wants to see you 1"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Always In. It was the shopping period, and Miss" Smith thought she would "drop in" on Mrs. Jones and ask her If she wouW assist her in the noble art of presenthunting. "Is your mistress In?" she asked the young maid. "Yes, miss." was the prompt reply. She was shown Into the drawing room. But an hour passed and no Mrs. Jones appeared. At last the lady got np and called to the maid : "Did you tell your mistress I was here?" she asked. "Oh. no. miss," replied the girl quickly: "she hasn't returned from shopping yet." "Not returned!" exclaimed the astonished visitor. "No. miss. Yon see the mistress tohj me she was always home to you l" Long Rids Before Him. A cyclist who stopped at a village Inn boasted about his abilities as a rider to such an extent that the land* lord ventured to make a wager with him. "Look here, mister" said the Innkeeper, "you can't ride up and down this road till the church clock strikes six" "Done," said the cyclist "It's just close on fire now;" and the next minute he wus speeding down the road. After about an hour's tiding the cyclist shouted to one of the by* standers, of whom many had a*sen> bled: "I say, has tbe church clock struck six y e t r "No, you Idiot" was the blunt reply. "Our church clock never strikes] at all."—London Tit-felts. Two Kinds. There Is a place In the world for reformers.

GOVERNMENT OFFERS TO AID vW: Establishes Seed Com Reserve for Supplying Late Needs of Farmer*— Supply Can Be Had on Quick Notice. By P R O F . J. F. COX, Department of Farm Crops, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—As seasons go the present has probably been fraught with as many difficulties for the Michigan farmer as any he has ever been called upon to prepare for—and of these, seed corn troubles have been by no means the least. The one consoling feature about it all is rhat matters might have been worse, for as a result of the zealous efforts by state and national agencies, seed supplies have been unearthed and brought in from neighboring states. Otherwise, Michigan growers would many of them have had to go without. But while this foreign corn has been immensely better than no corn at all, some of it has not been of high quality, and the numb.er of fields iu Michigan which because of this . occasional germinabllity have failed to come up this spring is unusually high.. Very wisely, however, the federal department of agriculture, with which the college and the state seed committees have been co-operating, has anticipated this situation and established a corn reserve, where farmers who may need seed for replanting can secure it in a hurry with reasonable assurance that what they obtain will be something that will be fairly dependable. This reserve supply of seed corn is located at Toledo. Of course this city Is somewhat distant from many points ID Michigan, but the enterprise has been so well organized that corn can be supplied by express to individuals In almost any part of the state In two or three days at the most. A farmer, for instance, who concludw'after ten or twelve days that his oorn Is not coming up and decides to replant needs only to get in touch with his county agricultural agent and leave with him an order (and the cash) for the amount of seed needed. Or If the fanner resides in a county where there Is no agent, he can write direct to the corn reserve headquarters (A. J. Pleters, care R. T. Miles, 2009 Second National bank. Toledo). Where this is done, the checks should be made out to "Disbursing Clerk, United States Department of Agriculture." The corn itself must be ordered In two-bushel bag lots. An order can be sent In that is for two bushels, four bushels, six bushels, and so on, but not for three bushels or five bushels. This is because the bags hold two bushels. As a governmental enterprise, the corn is beinp sold at cost ($5.10 a bushel). Express charges on this should not run over 40, 50 or 60 cents a bushel to any of the corn districts in Michigan. • In some of the southern counties, replanting is already under way, but In many It will continue until the middle of June, and In some even Into the third week. Of course climatic and soil conditions vary appreciably In the different parts of the state—but this factor has also been anticipated aDd a number of different corn varieties provided. These varieties have been classified as A, B, C, D and E. "A" and "D" are types that will make good silage. In southern counties, and might be good for grain, while "B" and "C" are types especially adapted to Michigan. The varieties included under **fi" are mixed early and medium yellow dents. ' In detail, these differences are as follows: A. Medium Yellow Dent—Thia corn was grown In Delaware on light land and matures there in 100-UO days. As « grown In Delaware the ears are^about 7-9. Inches long, having' rather small cobs and shallow 'kernels. Staiks are of medium site and about 8-0 feet ,.: Jilgh. This, corn Is not of a pore type !f'-wot- rubs fairly even for common yel- :>"~%w corn. This corn Is thought by ex- *£i,7,"paTt» of the Ohio expe/iment station £*&*"•*> be suitable for the production of amr corn in Ohio. Indications are that on well-drained land and under favorable conditions It may mature in the pouthern tiers of counties in Michigan. Tor ensilage purposes in southern lfichigan this corn is probably superior to any other corn available this year from outside that state. ft. flfcriy Yellow Dent—This corn waa grown on very sandy land in Delatttapt- aad mature* there in 00-100 days. 1» Data**** tha a t * ft*» 64 toaaV afcvfa* small ante and %anMav b«t tt 4avaot a com. Stalks are Header,! about 7 feet high, This corn la uoc a pure type but is Variable as to color, size and tlintinesa. It is however, the earliest yellow dent corn available now in quuntlty. The fact that larger and )ater corn grows on the same soil as this early yeilow dent indicates that this corn is an early type. C. Early White Dent.—This is a flinty dent growing on sandy soil in Delaware atid of about the aam»» size and earliness as B, but the corn la white and uniform in color. D. Medium White Dent.—This is larger and somewhat later than O, and of about the size and earliness of A. It is uniform as to color but not as uniform as to type as is C, some ears having kernels that are quite flinty while on other ears they are not at all flinty. 8. Mixed Early and Medium Yellow Dent.—A number of cribs in Delaware contain mixtures of medium and early yellow dents. In most cases the prevailing type Is the medium dent with 10-50 per cent of early and flinty dent ears mixed with the larger corn. In some cases this mixture is mechanical after husking, but in many cases the two types grow (mixed) in the same held. A considerable part of this corn should make ear corn in southern Michigan and in northern Ohio in a favorable season, but it probably is especially suitable for ensilage corn. J" A Word of Precaution. ST wherein lies the reason for the use of vegetable preparations for infanta and children? Why are any hut vegetable preparations unsafe for infants and children ? Why are Syrups, Cordials and Drops condemned by all Physicians and most laymen ? Why has the Government placed a ban on all preparations containing, among other poisonous drugs, Opium in its variously prepared forms and pleasing tastes, and under its innumerable names ? These are questions that every Mother will do well to inquire about. Any Physician will recommend the keeping of Fletcher's Castoria in the house for the common ailments of infants and children. CALL HOUSEWIVES TOGETHER M. A. C. Plans Special Four-Day T r a i n i n g Schools in Food Conservation. East Lansing, Mich.—A special training school for the coaching* of women in the arts of food conservation will be conducted here from June 24 to June 28 and from July 1 to July -4—but while food conservation has become the usual thing in every patriotic home in the land, more than common interest attaches to plans for the "drilling" of the fair sex at M. A. 0. Special schools and camps without number have been established to fit men for their wartime duties, but thus far the coming courses are the only ones that have been provided for women. The "war schools" for the women will be conducted in two sections. The first of these, which will be opened at M. A. C. on June 24 and will continue until June 28, will be for women who have had at least two years of college training In domestic science, and for the women who are acting as county and district home economics leaders. The second school, which will be started on July 1, and will be in session until the morning of July 4, will be for every woman In the state who cares to enroll. Most of the four days' sessions will be devoted by the Instructors, who will he members of the home economics faculty of the "college, to demonstrations of canning and to discussion of phases of the food problem which have become of most common concern since the strictest economy in dining has become necessary. The short courses for housewives, housekeepers and other interested women will, however, be but one of the features of the summer term on the campus. Country clergymen and lavmen will convene July 6 to 16 for their annual conference and study of rural problems; boys' and girls' club leaders will come together for hve days, July 9 to 13; 500 specially selected army men will be coached In gas engine work, and in addition there will be the customary summer courses offered by the scientific, agricultural, domestic science, veterinary, engineering and other departments. . « • « ^ 7 INet Contents 15 fluid Dfac Qoo DROPS Bees Are Hit Hard. Heavy casualties were suffered by Michigan bees as a result of the severity of the past winter, according to a report given out by B. F. Klndig of M. A. C, state inspector of apiaries. At least 80,000 of Michigan's 200,000 colonies were either frozen or starved to death, Mr. Klndig estimates. Old and experienced beekeepers, however, were not among the heavy losers. Estimating roughly, the loss of 80,000 colonies means that something like 2.800,000.000 bees have succumbed in Michigan since last fall. An energetic campaign for the organisation of beekeepers into associations for-the promotion of the honey-producing industry is la progress, under the direction of the state inspector.

CONSERVE FOOD VALUE OF MILK Constantly Clean and Cold Is Formula for Making Best of This Product. SPOILED MILK VERY COSTLY Put Bottles In Refrigerator Minute After Milkman Leaves It at Door —Every Dalr,- Utensil Should Be Thoroughly Cleaned. One quart of spoiled milk costs more than 25 pounds of ice. That for persons who have to do with milk in small quantities—consumers. This for persons who have to do with milk In large quantitiesproducers : One ten-gnllon can of spoiled milk costs more than a thousand pounds of ice. Besides, this fact for both classes: Milk Is mighty good human food and Ice Isn't food at alt. There Is no possible argument In favor of wasting ice, as there Is no possible argument In favor of wasting anything. The creation of ice consumes coal and ammonia and other things needed toward winning the war. But there is the best possible argument in favor of making the best possible use of whatever ice is used and, since milk is probably the most important human food, taking Into consideration all classes of people from Infant to the aged, there IB every argument, not necessarily for using more ice In connection with It, but for using a good deal more care In seeing that the milk never gets very far from the Ice from the moment It Is drawn from the cow to the moment It enters the human gullet Spare the lco, but do not spare It at the expense of the milk. Muet Milk Lost. Every summer multiplied thousands of gallons of milk are lost—poured into sink and sewer and run with the rivers to the sea—because people are not careful enough about bringing the bottle in to the refrigerator immediately after the milkman leaves It at the door. Milk should be kept always at a lower temperature than SO degrees Fahrenheit Assuming that the man who milked the cow, the man who bottled the milk, and the man who made the delivery an did their part, all their eflort 1« W*ely to be thrown away It the bottle la left on a hot doorstep for tn hoot, or even half an hour. Get the milk on the lee the mtirata after the milkman leaves It at the door. And some rather keen eyes are open to see to It that the dairyman does hU part toward keeping the milk cool i s it should be from the time It is milked until It la delivered. With this artlde la a picture of a milk cooler that tfce United Statea department of agrteafc tvre recommends to—and urges upon r^the dairyman. The coldest water obtainable—iced water, preferably, hot, In the absence of that, water direct from a cold effing or weli-4s to he used In It and the milk. Immediately after It Is drawn from the cow, is to be poured ever the cooler. Front Asm to fifteen gallons of cold water It passed through the cooler for every gallon of milk cooled. The milk flows slowly over the cooler and is brought to within three degrees of the temperature of the water. Iced Water for Milk. After that the milk should go Into a cooling tank. The tank recommended by the department of agriculture is made with a two-inch layer of cork between two shells of four-inch concrete. Three gallons of iced water should be used for every gallon of milk that goes into the tank. All milk should remain in the tank until it is ready to ship, and It should be protected from heat during hauling with blankets or felt jackets. Every vessel that milk touches In any way—cooler, cans, palls and bottles— should be sterilized and kept clean. Constantly clean and constantly cold. That Is the formula for getting the full benefit of the milk supply. Even brief lapses from cleanliness and cold cause the bacterial count to multiply and the milk to deteriorate. ^miiMiiiiMiimiiiiiimiiimiiiiHMiuiniL § PORK PRODUCTION HINTS. = s A large, raw-boned sow, hav- : s ing plenty of capacity and Bize, : 2 but lacking in femininity and : 3S quality, Is one of the poorest In- : 2 vestments a breeder can make, : 5 for her pigs will be slow to de- • 5 velop, hard to fatten, and lack- « 2 Ing both in number and in unl- • 5 formity. : 5 The modern hog is a htghly : S specialized and efficient machine : = for the conversion of grain and j 5 roughage into edible meat, but j _ 2 to obtain the greatest efficiency, 2 2 to make the most pork from a 2 2 given amount of feed, to make 2 2 the best pork, and to make that 2 2 pork most economically, the ma- 2 2 chine must be kept running to 2 S capacity from birth to the time 2 2 of marketing.

POLISH TROOPS DRIVE 15,000 GERMANS BACK Field Marahal Von Hindenbury, Chid of the German General Staff Reported in Hospital W i t h Feyer. London.—The outstanding piece ol news in Sunday's official reports, all ol which show the armies in the west a.- "boiling up" for the big battle, Is tht claim, contained in Berlin's commun ique, that Americans were captures "west of Montdidier." It shows Pershing's units, which for sometime have been known to be on the Picardy front, are squarely fact to face with the spearhead of the Ger man wedge, threatening Amiens, and that when the next blow is struck by Hindenburg toward that great Allied base, American troops will be in the thick of Armageddon's third—perhaps final—round. Polish Troops Drive Germans Back. Moscow.—Attempts by the German? to disarm the Polish troops in the Ukraine and Minsk governments arti meeting with fierce resistance. The second Polish corps under Gen eral Makovitzky, stationed near Ka neff, in the government of Kiev, defied the German ultimatum to disarm within 24 hours, whereupon the Ger mans apologized, saying that the order was a misunderstanding. At midnight however, Germans attacked the corps, capturing one village. The Poles entrenched and battled against 15,000 Germans, causing con giderable losses among the enemy, but themselves suffering heavily. The fight continued for several days, when the Germans were driven back! losing a few pieces of artillery. Russian Prisoners Wrecks. Moscow.—One million of 3,100,000 Russian war prisoners held in Germany and Austria-Hungary are total invalids. In Germany there are 1,900,- 000 and in Austria 1,200,000. Half of the invalids are tubercular, most of them in the last stages- of that plague. Many of the remainder are suffering from other serious contagious diseases. Their return to Russia under present conditions is a great" problem on account of the lack of food, proper accommodations and medical assistance. The exchange of invalids haa been going on for some time. Hindenburg III W i t h Fever. Geneva, Switzerland—Field Marshal von Hindenburg, chief of the German general staff, is in a hospital at Strassburg, suffering from typhoid fever, according to reports from that city. These advices state that the report of Von Hindenburg'g death is incorrect, but that his condition is critical Typhoid fever is said to be spreading rapidly in the German army. Of late there have been various reports of the death of Field Marshal von Hindenburg. Some of those reports were given on authority of Ger. man prisoners on the western front.

Cutting Away Piers at Zeebrugge. London.—Having failed in attempts to blow the two concrete laden ships sunk in the entrance to the Bruges canal, at Zeebrugge, the Germans now are engaged in cutting away the piers In an attempt to outflank the obstruction. Photographs taken three days age by British naval airmen show this snd they also show how completely the canal entrance has been flocked.

"First, that we keep this nation a nation, a nation of Americans and ofily of Americans, a nation in which we do not allow any man to pretend to be a citizen unless he is aa American and nothing else. "That we treat every good American without regard to his birthplace or national origin or creed aa on an equality with every other good American in the land. "That we prepare for the future, so that never again shall we be caught as shamefully unprepared as we have been caught this time. "Finally, and most important, that now we bend our whole energies to speeding up this war, to put Jit through until it is crowned with overwhelming triumph." The colonel had elucidated his last point earlier in more characteristic language. "I don't want any decision on points," he declaimed. "I want a knockout." That was one of the epigrammatic flashes that proved him the same old Teddy, after all. For when America's foremost private citizen began his Arcadia address, the gentleness with which he initiated what became later a smashing arraignment of the evils still lurking in the life of the nation at war, caused many whispered comments that age had begun to overtake virility; that while ability to express himself in plain English had not faltered, his vim and fire of delivery had suffered with advancing years. Although Roosevelt's main topic was ; the fault underlying America's failure to make the best of her opportunities, both before and after she entered the war, he spent fully 20 minutes discussing the duty of American citizens of fighting age. He was in Detroit the guest of the navy; he came as a part of their program for recruiting the men who will build a bridge across the seas, and he acknowledged the fact by plain-spoken declarations as to the necessity for battle-line strength. "For the only way to win the war, after all, is a smash the German armies," he declared, bringing down a characteristic fist BUMPER CROPS FOR STATE Drought Is Only Thing Fsared; Beans Can Be Gotten Rid of Before Frost. Lansing- Crop reports, unofficial onea which come to Lansing by letter and by mouth, are eo good that state officials are Bitting with their finders crossed, hardly daring to hope that the conditions which have already appeared will continue throughout the summer. Down to cases, nothing but a drought is feared. If conditions continue hereinafter for the rest of the summer as have obtained during May, Michigan will have bumper crops. Even early frosts are not fared much, for with a continuance of the present good weather nearly all the crops will have matured long before the frosts come. Even beans, always a dangerous crop, can be gotten rid of before the first touch of cold weather comes. Last year lateness in the start of the season put practically 75 per cent of the bean crop so late in maturing that the early frosts nipped them. MRS. STOKES GIVEN TEN YEARS Found Guilty On All Three Counts New Trial Overruled. Kansas City, Mo.—After conviction of Rose Pastor Stokes, Judge A. S Van Valkenburgh, In the United States district court here, overruled a motion for a new trial filed by Seymour Stedmanj her attorney, based on the contention that the court had failed to drstlnguish between motive and intent. The court also overruled a motion for arrest of Judgment. The case was based on a letter she wrote to the Kansas City Star, in which she declared she had asserted: "No government which is for the profiiteers can be for the people, and I am for the people." « The Star, which had used conservative 'headlines on the interview she had given criticising the government —she afterward said she meant the administration, instead of the government supposed to be satisfactory to Mrs. Stokes; for she had no further complaint of lack of publicity. At that point the government stepped In. The result was her indictment under the espionage act. Mrs. Stokes was given 10 years on each of three counts, the terms to run concurrently and the defendant not being subjected to a fine. PRAGER lURORS ACQUIT ALL 11 Wild Demonstration In Courtroom When News of Not Guilty Came. TRIAL OF I. W. W. UNDER WAY Former Chief Tells of Driving 8pikes In Logs to Wreck Machinery. Chicago—Private Frank Wormkee, alias Frank Woods, testified at the trial of 112 Industrial Workers''of the World that he was asked by members of the organization to teach sabotage in the American army. This sabotage, Wormkee said he was informed, could include placing a foreign substance in food to cause Illness and the cutting up of clothing. Wormkee's tale of violence by members of the organisation spanned a period of nearly two years, during a part of which he worked as an organizer In the harvest fields, the big lumber camps, the shipping districts and the orange belt, of California. He ad mi ted committing acts of sabotage while an I. W. W. delegate, and said he received I. W. W. literature in at least one instance after ha entered Jefferson barracks.

Edwardsville, III.—The 11 men charged*with murder in connection with the lynching of Robert Paul Prager, enemy alien, were acquitted by a juay after 45 minutes of deliberation. Two ballots were taken. Announcement that all of the defendants had been found not guilty was attended by a wild demonstration in tne courtroom in which the accused men were overwhelmed with congratulations by relatives and friends who, throughout the long vigil of examination and testimony-taking, have crowded the room. In closing the argument for the defense, Thomas Williamson quoted a statement attributed to former Ambassador Gerard in which the latter told of replying to the kaiser's threat that thene were 500,000 reservists in this country with this assertion: "Yes, and there are 500,001 lamp posts to hang them on." He declared that the present war situation had developed a new "unwritten law" which had been invoked by the men who hanged Prager because of his alleged disloyalty.

Paris—The strength of General Foch'a reserves has been felt by the armies of the German crown prince in the "battle for Paris." * East of the line running from Solasons to Chateau Thierry, where the Germans in a continuation of their mighty strokes gained several additional villages and then attempted to proceed further westward, magnificent opposition was imposed by the newly strengthened lines and, with terrifla smashes, the French forces recaptured Longpont, Corey, Faverolles and Troesnes, vantage points in the center of the line leading to the forest of Villers Cotterets, which seems to be the present objective here of the enemy- Enemy Reach the Marne. The Germans, however, still have In their possession the village of Vaurezis, lying to the west of Soissons, and further south Saconin-Et-BreuiL Chaudun, Licy and Bouresches, the last named directly west of Chateau Thierry. A little to the southwest of Chateau Thierry the enemy has reached the Marne, Nowhere has there been any attempt by the invaders to cros sthe river, and at all points east of Chateau Thierry they are hugging the northern bank of the stream. It is not improbable, however, the tactics of the Germans have in view the fording of the river when the time is more propitious, for in the center of the line between Chateau Thierry and Rheims they have pushed back the Allied front across the Rheims-Dormans road between Olizy-Violalne and Ville-En-Taraenois and are pressing toward the Marne. Germany's Best Troops in Battle. This is the only point on their left wing, however, where ( the enemy has been able to make fresh gains, notwithstanding the fact he has thrown new divisions into the battte, some of of them the best trained troops la the German army. Having failed in all their efforts to conquer Rheims by direct assault, it now seems to be the intention of the Germans further to widen their occupation of the territory lying south of the Rheims-Dormans road and thereby outflank the cathedral city and bring about its capitulation. In the fighting in the immediate vicinity of Rheims the enemy won Fort de la Pompelle, but his tenure of the position was short-lived, for the French troops in a counter attack reconquered I t Counter-Revolutionary Plot Bared.

To this plot is attributable in part the mutiny of* the Caecho-Slovak troops which have captured several important railway Junctions and lines. The soviet executive decided May 29 to undertake the partial calling to arms of several classes of workmen and the poorer peasants in Petrograd and Moscow and the Kuban and Don regions.

EMPEY GIVES A DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK ON OBSERVATION POST DUTY. Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusltania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Ernpey, an American living In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he Is sent to training quarters In France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties," After a brief period of training Empey's company is sent into the front-line' trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always In the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. CHAPTER XVI—Continued. —11 — *'I came out with the first expeditionary force, and, like all the rest, thought we would have the enemy licked In Jig time, and be able to eat Christmas dinner at home. Well,", so far, I have eaten two Christmas dijar ners in the trenches, and am liable to eat two more, tb.3 way things are pointing. That la, If Fritz don't drop a 'whizz-bang* on me, and send me to Blighty. Sometimes I wish I would get hit, because it's no great picnic out here, and twenty-two months of It makes you fed up. "It's fairly cushy now compared to what It used to be, although" I admit this trench Is a trifle rough. Now, we send over five shells to their one. We are getting our own back, but In the early days It was different. Then you had to take everything without reply. In fact, we would get twenty shells In return for every one we sent over. Fritz seemed to enjoy It, but we British didn't; we were the sufferers. Just one casualty after another. Sometimes whole platoons would disappear, especially when a 'Jack Johnson' plunked into their middle. It got so bad that a fellow, when writing home, wouldn't ask for any cigarettes to be sent out, because' he was afraid he wouldn't be there to receive them. "After the drive to Paris was turned back, trench warfare started. Our general grabbed a map. drew a pencil across it, and said, 'Dig here.' Then he went back to his tea, and Tommy armed himself with a pick and shovel and started digging. He's been digging ever since. "Of course we dug those trenches at night, but it was hot work, what with the rifle and machine-gun fire. The stretcher bearers worked harder than the diggers. "Those trenches, bloomin' ditches, I call them, were nightmares. They were only about five feet deep, and you used to get the backache from bending down. It wasn't exactly safe to stand upright, either, because as soon as your napper showed over the top a bullet would bounce off It, or else come so close It would make your hair stand. "We used to fill sandbags and stick them on top of the parapet to make it higher, but no use; they would be there about an hour and then Fritz would turn loose and blow them to bits. My neck nsed to be sore from ducking shells and bullets. "Where my battery was stationed a hasty trench had been dug, which the boys nicknamed 'Suicide ditch,' and, believe me, Yank, this was the original 'Suicide ditch.' All the others are Imitations. J "When a fellow went into tffkt trench It was an even gamble that he would come out on a stretcher. At one time a Scotch battalion held It, and when they heard the betting was even money that they'd come out on stretchers, they grabbed all the bets In sight. Like a lot of bally Idiots, several of the battery men fell for their game, and put up real money. The 'Jocks' suffered a lot of casualties, and the prospects looked bright for the battery men to collect some easy money. So when the battalion was relieved the gamblers lined up. Several 'Jocks' got their money for emerging safely, but the ones who clicked it weren't there to pay. The artillerymen had never thought It out that way. Those Scottles were bound to be sure winners, no matter how the wind blew. So take a tip from me, never bet with a Scottie, 'cause you'll lose money. "At one part of our trench where a communication trench Joined the front line a Tommy had stuck up a wooden signpost with three hands or arms on it. One of the hands, pointing to the German lines, read, T o Berlin ;' the one pointing down the com* munication trench read, 'To Blighty/ while the other said, 'Suicide Ditch, Change Here^for Stretchers.' "Farther down from this guide post the trench ran through an old orchard. On the edge of this orchard our battery had constructed an advanced observation post. The trees screened it from the enemy airmen and the roof was turfed. It wasn't cushy like ours, no timber or concrete re-enforcements, Just walls of sandbags. From it a splendid view of the German lines could be obtained. This post wasn't pxactly safe. It was a hot corner, shells plunking all around, and the bullets cutting leaves off the trees. Many a time when relieving the signaler at the 'phone, I had to crawl on my belly like a worm to keep from being hit. "It was an observation post sure enough. That's all the use It was. Just observe all day, but never a message back for our battery to open np. Yon see, at this point of the line there were strict orders not to fire a shell, unless specially ordered to do so from •&* V ^ ' T ,V 6i &> One of the Big Quit* Barking. brigade headquarters. Bllme me, Lf anyone disobeyed that coinmaad, our general—yes, it was Old Pepper— would have court-martialed the whole expeditionary force. Nobody went out of their way to disobey Old Pepper In those days, because he couldn't be called a parson; he was more like a pirate. If at any time the devil should feel lonely and sigh for a proper mate, Old Pepper would get the first call. Facing the Germans wasn't half bad compared with an interview with that old firebrand. "If a company or battalion should give way a few yards against a superior force of Boches, Old Pepper would send for the commanding officer. In about half an hour the officer would come back with hia face the color of a brick, and in a few hours what was left of his command would be holding their original position. "I have seen an officer who wouldn't say d n for a thousand quid spend five minutes with the old boy, and when he returned the flow of language from his lips would make a navvy blush for shame. "What I am going to tell you Is how two of us put It over on the old scamp, and got away with It. It was a risky thing, too, because Old Pepper wouldn't •' have been exactly mild with us lf he had got next to the game. "Me and my mate, a lad named Harry Cassell, a bombardier In D 238 battery, or lance corporal, as you call it in the Infantry, used to relieve the telephonists. We would do two hours on and four off. I would be on duty in the advanced observation post, while he would be at the other end of the wire In the battery dugout signaling station. We were supposed to send fhrough orders for the battery to fire when ordered to do so by the observation officer In the advanced post. But very few messages were sent. It was only in case of an actual attack that we would get a chance to earn our 'two and six' a day. You see, Old Pepperj had issued orders not to fire except when the^orders came from him. And with Old Pepper orders Is orders, and made to obey. "The Germans must have known about these orders, for even in the day their transports and troops used to expose themselves as if they were on parade. This sure got up our nose, sitting there day after day, with fine targets in front of us hut unable to send over a shell. We heartily cussed Old Pepper, his orders, the government, the people at home, and everything in general. But the Boches didn't mind cussing, and got very careless. Bllme me, they were bally Insulting. Used to, when using a certain road, throw their caps into the air ao a taunt at our helplessness. "Cassell had been a telegrapher in civil life and Joined up when war was declared. As for me, I knew Morse, learned It at the signalers' school back In 1910. With an officer in the observation post, we could not carry on the kind of conversation that's usual between two mates, so we used the Morse code. To send, one of us would tap the transmitter with his finger nails, and the one on the other end would get it through the receiver. Many an hour was whiled away in this manner passing compliments back and forth. "In the observation post the officer nsed to sit for hours with a powerful .pair of field glasses to his eyes. Through a cleverly concealed loophole he would scan the ground behind the German trench©*, looking for targets and finding many. This ofilcer, Captain A by name, bad a habit of talking out loud to himself. {Sometimes he would vent hli opinion, same as a common private does when he's wrought up. Once upon a time the captain had been on Old Pepper's staff, so he could cuss and blind in the most approved style. Got to be sort of a habit with him. "About 8lx thousand yards from us, behind the German lines, was a road in plain view of our post For the last three days Fritz had brought companies of troops down this road in brood daylight. They were never shelled. Whenever this happened the captain would froth at the mouth and let out n volume of Old Pepper's religion which used to make me love him. "Every battery hn* n rnnge chart on which distinctive landmarks are noted, with the range for each. These landraarks* are called targets, and are numbered. On our battery's chart, that road was called T a r g e t 17, Range 6000, 3 degrees 30 minutes left; D 238 battery consisted of four '4.5' howitsers, and fired a 85-pound H. 18. shell. As you know, H, B. means *high explosive.* I don't tike bumming up say own battery, but we had a record la the division for direct hits, and our boys were Just pining away for a chance to exhibit their aklll In the eyes of Fritz. "Ou the afternoon of tb« fourth day of Fritz' contemptuous u w of the road mentioned the captain and I were at our posts as usual. Fritz was strafeing us pretty rough, Just like he's doing now. The shells were playing leapfrog all thrAigh that orchard. "I was carrying on a conversation In our t a p ' code with Cassell'at the other end. It ran something like thfs: " 'Say, Cassell, how would you like to be In the saloon bar of the King's Arms down Rye lane with a bottle of Bass In front of you,"and that blonde barmaid waiting to fill 'em up again7 T h how over' e next two on installment artillerymen " Old Pepper. relates put one (TO BE CONTINUED.) VAPOR BATHS IN LAPLAND Writer's Strenuous Experience of Cleansing Process Finishes With Being Bastinadoed. In Wide World Frank Hedges Butler describes a vapor tjath In the land of the Lapps. He says: The bathhouse Is a small wooden structure generally situated some way from the dwelling house. It Is divided Into two compartments, one to undress In, while the other contains the oven which produces the steam. The oven is arched with large stones or pebbles, and heated by a fire placed beneath. Undressing In the first room, one enters the heated compartment. After a short rest on a wooden form or bench, which contains a place for the head, the attendants come In and bathe you. Cold water Is thrown over the stones and the hissing vapor soon sends up a cloud of steam. The higher you sit from the floor the greater the heat. As more water Is thrown over the red-hot stones the vapor becomes so Intense that one can hardly breathe. We were soon gasping for breath and covered with a profuse perspiration which Issued from every pore of the skin. Hanging up in the room were tender branches or twigs in a green state and retaining their leaves. Dipping these in water, the attendant began lashing and whipping me across the legs, shoulders, loins and back, till my body seemed quite red with the switching. The bastinadoing over, I was then washed with a soft flannel covered with soap, after which a Jug of the coldest water was thrown over my head and body. THIS WEAK, NERVOUS MOTHER Tells How Lydia E.

Interesting Life Statistics. On the authority of experts representing forty-three leading life Insurance companies in the United States, It appears that a spinster lives longer than u married woman. Business women live longer than business men. A wojnan who takes nn endowment policy lives longer than a woman who takes an ordinary life policy. It is not easy to explnin why an unmarried woman survives a matron, nor why a business woman survives a business man, but the longevity of the endowment woman Is believed to be due to the determination to live until the policy matures.

A.O/tfX JOLfiC/TAVrJ, 8. AffO/W£L£J 7 HERE is a photograph •shown at Health Exhibitions which many people at first sight take for a picture of the crusts on the surface of the moon, or of the canals on the planet Mars. What It really shows Is a circular plate containing a gelatin culture of the consumption germ — the tubercle bacillus. This plate to begin with was a perfect T)lank — a tabula vasji, as the ancient Romans used to call their tablet before writing on it. But there soon developed on this gelatin plute letters about as ominous as those which the Prophet Daniel pointed out to Belshazzar at his royal feast. Here is the way of it: The laboratory doctor had put on that plate a My that had got his feet stuck in the spittle of a consumptive; and he had then covered the whole with a glass jar so that the fly could not get away. This insect, thus heavy footed, then promenaded all over the plate. Twenty-four hours later colonies of the consumption germs, lflade up of uncountable •millions of those tubercle bacilli, developed on Its tracks. You may think I exaggerate when I^compare this fact of the gelatin plate with the Prophet Daniel nnd the writing on the wall, says a writer in the Detroit Fre<> Press. Well, be that as it may, I ask you only to reflect how consumption has up to this time been carrying off every third or fourth of us between adolescence and maturity ; that in all the wars of the nineteenth century (including those of Napoleon), 14.000,000 succumbed, while 8,000,000 succumbed to consumption, the captain of the men of death; that the advanced consumptive day by day coughs and spits out several thousand millions of the tubercle bacilli; that consumption, besides being a disease, Is the most dreadful economic and social degeneracy In ch41i2atlon; that this great White Plague exists largely by reason of human suplneness and neglect of the simplest precepts of hygiene and sanitation. The Babylonian king did not heed the warning which lay in the writing on the wai!. By heeding the lesson that lies In that little gelatin {ftate we shall be very far on the way. we and oar fellow men and womeA, of banishing the tuberculosis which It represents from .human experience and from on* the face «tf the earta. Of course, flies are not the only agency in the spread of tuberculosis; for tney are actlTe but a few months of the year, whilst that disease is cou- J tracted all the year round. ft Files Swell Infant Death Rate. I It is certain also that flies help greatly to swell the Infant death rate. which Is greatest *in the fly season. There are few more congenial culture media for <erms than milk, especially amid the uncleanllness which obtains In the houses of very many poor people, especially In the tenements. This flnid easily becomes contaminated by flies and with the noxious matter that is continually Ringing to their hairy feet, their spongy bodies and their flaffy wings. Tuberculosis is thus certainly contracted by children, as are the various forms of dysentery, practically all of which are germ ailments. Breast fed Infants seldom have such diarrheas, whilst bottle fed babies have them alt too frequently. Typhoid f e v e r t s J » often transmitted by flies t h a t doeton «0i|ak of this Insect as the (jrpfcofd fly. »It pollutes food and drtnlr, Mfeeefctt? your milk, butter nnd hyiUHiM of tk« materia! wticfe Insects That Convey Diseas ^^2 ~f~~ ^ Common Fly Is the Chief Offender, s But There Are Many Others That Are Also a Serious Menace to Health CATA/0 DOG/Z£A — It carries thence from sources of contamination and of the refuse which it transfers from rotting vegetables, meat and fish. Twenty-five per cent of files breed in manure heaps. Besides the diseases mentioned files have been brought to the bar on indictments for having spread cholera, lockjaw, trachoma (granular lids), anthrax (the stable fly Is here guilty), and something like a dozen more germ diseases. The ordinary fly may swallow the eggs of tapeworms and other intestinal parasites, and then distribute those eggs where they may do hurt to humankind. Before considering other insects 1 had better state more clearly just how these pests perform their part in disease dissemination. The germs may stick to the bodies of the insects. Or the germs may be eaten by the insect? nnd deposited upon human food and drink with their 'excreta. Or the insects may eject the germs from their mouths upon the skins of uncleani? people who do not bathe regularly. Or the Insects may die after eating the germs; and the bodies of the former may fall into the food; or the dead Insect bodies may dry up, crumble, be spread in dust and be either Inhaled or Injected by human beings. Or the insects' (such as the mosquito) may inject into the host with their sting diseased blood which they have previously sucked from a previous sufferer (such as a malaria patient). Mosquito Fever. Doctors prefer to speak of malaria 08 mosquito fever, for, as everyone now knows, It is the species of mosquito called Anopheles, which Is sole- . iy responsible for the propagation of this disease. Anopheles breeds in still water, in moist sand or moss, in pools by the sides of open streams, in permanent accumulations of water of every sort— irrigation ditches, stagnant water where»there Is green scum, in.beds of old canals, In old horse troughs and the like. When the blood of a malaria sufferer Is sucked into the stomach by anopheles the malaria parasite In that blood undergoes development; i and the products of this process enter the mosquito's salivary glands and are ejected into the system of the next person stung. If this latter nnfortnnnte. has not yet had malaria he j thus contracts the disease unless »hls J natural antigerm forces are ahle todestroy the parasite before it can db any mischief In his body. Naturally then, the prevention of malaria depends on the destruction of all breeding places within the radius of a mile. The way to do this is to drain or fill In with earth, or to corer the surface of any water with a rum film of kerosene. Bouses must be screened. Anopheles bitea only after sundown; and only the Lady Aaopkalef does the mischief. Bert, as elsewhere iu the cosmos, is the female of the species m o r e dreadful than the male. Spreads Typhus. The Insect which In highbrow literature Is termed Pedlculus'vestlmentorum, but which i—- r j in plain language Is OiO SUCfAfTO? SXARLATT) t h e l o u s e > l s responsible for. the spread of several grave diseases. Some lice which had been biting typhoid patients were first Immersed In a solution of mercury bichloride; then they were put in sterile water. Next they were ground in a sterile mortar and the resultant material was Inoculated into animals and ( were developed on culture media. By this means tyrfhoid germs were demonstrated in those lice. We have all read how dreadful an executioner was the typhus fever lo the earlier months of this present war, in Serbia and in the Balkans generally; it Is the louse which is the chief disseminator of the typhus germ. The bedbug has from time Immemorial been obnoxious enough by just being a bedbug. But he is now proven to be much more than this. Undoubtedly cases of smallpox are spread by this insect In cheap lodging houses, perhaps more frequently than by any other means. And were it not for the frequent vaccination's ordered by health authorities epidemics of this disease would probably not be rare. Consumption germs have been found in bedbug blood; also the germs of other diseases. This insect may live for weeks without food. During the winter it will become comatose and will weather the winter like any other hibernating creature. It will continue Its existence, will demonstrate its will-to-live, against the hardest kind of luck, from season to season, In lumber camps, summer houses, empty apartments and the like. Fleas Spread Bubonic Plague. The chief Iniquity of the'flea lies in Its transmission of the germ of the bubonic plague. The roach has also been proved an infection conveyer. We must mention also Rocky Mountain fever which has for several years occurred during the spring months in Montana and the neighboring states. The germ of this disease is transmitted from cattle to man by the tick, which insect is the responsible agent also for Texas or cattle fever. I have tried to present here the essential facta about the insect transmission of disease. My article would, however, appear to be like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out; for I have written nothing about how to deal with such Insect Infection spreaders.

He took off his coat walked over and picked up a chair and beat it to fragments agairtst a post- This chair finished, he picked up another and went through the same process. ' Finally the gasping editor called out: "Here, what are you doing?*' 'Tm resigning, you grayihalred idiot,'" was the reply, **and I am resigning In a way that will make you remember me until your dying day. And after you are dead I want a piece of the rope." Then he mnrched out and the d t y editor got him later in the day by telephone and offered to double #hls salary, but he wouldn't come back. He has joined his colors. He will make a fighter, no doubt.—Nr»w YofV Sun. WESTERN Got an Excellent Start. Big Yields Now Assured. Never in the history of Weirtern Canada did the seed enter the ground under more favorable conditions. The weather during the month of April was perfect for seeding operations, and from early morning until late at night the seeders were at work, and every acre that could be profitably sown was placed under requisition. Farmers entered heart and soul into the campaign of greater production. There was the time and the opportunity for careful preparation, and a,s a consequence r with favorable weather from now on there will be a vastly increased yield. They realized it was a duty they owed to humanity to produce all that they could on the land, not only this year but next as well. In addition to the patriotic aspect, they are aware that the more they produce the greater will be their own return tn dollars and cents. In many districts wheat seeding was completed by the 1st of May, after which date oats and barley on larger acreages than usual were planted. As has been said, favorable weather conditions made possible excellent seed-bed preparation, and the seed has gone into the ground In unusually good shape. The available moisture in the soil has been added to by rains, which have not been so heavy, however, as to Interfere long with the work In the fields. The grain is germinating readily, and on many fields the young green blades of the cereal are already showing An optimistic feeling prevails among farmers that Western Canada will reap a record harvest. If the season from now on is as favorable as It has begun, these hopes should be realized. Mr. J. D. McGregor of the Federal Food Board, who is also an old and successful farmer in Western Canada, asserted a few days ago at Calgary that crop conditions throughout the Prairie Provinces were excellent. "Speaking generally," he said, ,4the crops have never gone into the ground In better shape than this year, and with an even break of luck as far as the weather is concerned, there should be an enormous crop." His present duties In connection with the Food Control Board, taking him In all parts of the West, Mr. McGregor has exceptional opportunities of observing conditions all over the country.—Advertisement.

Under normal conditions, the farmer's share of retail prices of various farm products is approximately as follows: Butter 71 per cent CATTLE 662/3 to 75 per cent Eggs Potatoes Poultry Fruits 65 per cent 55 per cent 45 per cent 35 per cent The difference between farmer's price and retail price represents the necessary expenses of packing, freight and wholesale and retail distribution. Swift & Company not only performs the manufacturing operations of preparing cattle for market in its wellequipped packing plants, but it pays the freight on meat to all parts of the United States, operates 500 branch distributing houses, and in most* cases even delivers to the retail butcher. All mis is done at an expense of less than 2 cents per pound, and at a profit of only about ¼ of a cent per pound of beef, Large volume of business and expert management, make possible this indispensable service to the live-stock raiser and to the consumer, and make possible the larger proportion of retail prices received by farmers.

They Intend to bend every effort to have the new measure Include provisions which will allow not more than 20 per cent of the war profits to go into the pockets now claiming them. A speech by Senator Borah, Idaho, recently sounded the opening of the battle that will be made against excessive war profits. Tuesday he will call up his resolution calling on Secretary McAdoo to give the senate all information regarding swollen profits in possession of the treasury department. Senators to Back Borah. He will ask for immediate action on the resolution, so the senate may have ground work for its action in applying suitable taxation to the profiteers. A large number of senators are getting ready to back up Senator Borah in his demand for action against the profiteers. It will bring a renewal of the fight started last fall, when the revenue bill was being considered, when Borah, Johnson, of California, and other senators tried to have the excess profits and war profits scales revised upward. At that time they were unsuccessful, but now with the president openly supporting the issue, they believe they will have small trouble in wnning their fight. "I think almost anyone would admit that during times like these 20 per cent of war profits added to the normal excess profits Bhould be enough for any man to take as the profits of his business, Senator Borah continued. DESTROYER BUILT IN 17 DAYS Secretary Daniels 8ald the Average Time Before W a r Was 11 Months. Washington—The United States destroyer Ward was successfully launched at the Mare Island navy yard, California, 17 and a half days after her keel was laid. The nearest approach to this record was the launching of a 333 foot cargo vessel by the New York Shipbuilding company, Camden, N. J., in 27 days-. Before the United States went to war, Secretary Daniels said the average time for a destroyer on the ways was 11 months. The secretary termed the Mare Island record a remarkable one and declared that it probably would not be equalled for some time. As much structural work as possible for the Ward was prepared in advance ready for erection and assembling before the keel was laid. Bulkheads, sections of the keel, deckhouses, bridge structure and a section of the destroyer's stem were riveted up ready for assembling in place on the ways. Launching of 16 vessels on the Pacific coast, July 4, is planned, in response, to the appeal of Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, to the country's shipbuilders, to celebrate Independence day with a heavy output of tonnage.
