PASSENGER AUTOS TAX HEAVY Every Effort W i l l Be Made to Raise Three-fourths By Means of Taxeh Cn W a r Profits and Income*. AIDED BY KAISER, ESCAPES RUSSIA INTO SWITZERLAND f Washington — Secretary McAdoo maih- hi.-> recommendations concerning ihe new war revenue' bill June* b. They virtually have the approval of congress in advance, for members of the house and senate charged with framing the new law have been working on identical lines with those laid down by Mr. McAdoo. The following outstanding features in Secretary McAdoo'a recommendations probably will be adopted without opposition: Raise Taxes One-Third. That the new bill be drawn to raise $8,l)00,ouu,0l)0 annually by taxation as one-third of the war expenditures. That a real war profit tax be enacted that will reach and tax up to 8u per a-nt profits made out of the war. This tax should be superimposed upon the existing excess profits tax in such a way that the taxpayer should be required to pay whichever tax is the greater. Heavy taxes, perhaps as great as war tax profits, on unearned incomes. Passenger Auto Tax Heavy. Luxuries will be taxed heavily and there is a disposition on the part of some members of both house and senate to regard passenger automobiles as luxuries and to include in the new war revenue bill a license tax ranging from $50 to $500 annually. As all automobiles already are licensed through the different state governments, a federal license tax could be collected almost without effort and the proposal meets with considerable favor in many quarters. Congress, in advance of Mr. Mc- Adoo's recommendations, has been studying the English system of war taxation which levies heavy taxes on war profits and. unearned incomes. Definitely committed to the policy that the greater burden of the new war taxes should be imposed upon luxuries, war profits and incomes, the ways and means committee of the house will hold its first meeting June 7 to frame the $8,000,000,000 measure.

Berne, Switzerland — Arrival in Switzerland of Grand Duchess Olga. sister of former Emperor Nicholas of Russia, gives color to recent persistent reports that the former emperor and empress and others of the Romanoff family may take up residence here or at some other point outside Russia where their personal safety will be less endangered by disorders in that country. The grand duchess journeyed from the interior of Russia to Petrograd and thence to Berlin, Zurich and Geneva. At Geneva she joined the family of former King Constantine of Greece. It is regarded here as significant of the German attitude that Emperor William gave full permission for passage of the grand duchess through Germany to Switzerland, providing facilities on the way. 55,000 MICHIGAN MEN IN WAR Nearly 20,000 Others Have Enlisted In the Regular Army and Navy. Lansing—How Michigan has responded to the call to arms and given of her youth to defeat the threat of Prussian world domination is shown he will give the"committee some ideas l n figures Just made ^available detailing about methods of taxing incomes. The members of the committee are firmly of the opinion that consumption taxes on articles such as coffee, tea and sugar should be imposed only as a last resort. Every effort will be made to raise at least three-fourths of the $8,$00,000,000 by means of taxes on war profits and incomes. Too Repeal Old Law. Incomes in excess of $20,000 will bear the brunt of the increase. To make up the balance the rates on the work of the draft boards in the 12 months that have passed since the first registration under the selective service law. Just a year ago 377,179 Michigan men of draft age registered under the law. Since that date approximately 5-5,000 of them have been Inducted into service. Besides these approximately 20,000 men of all ages have enlisted in the regular army and a large number have entered the navy and marine corps.

To simplify ly> & n d l n another three months Michi the collection and computation of income taxes the law of 1917 will be re. pealed and the income tax provisions will be entirely rewritten. The treasury department's estimate of the amount that will be collected on income and excess profits this year la $2,775,185,000. Members of the committee thoroughly understand that from these two sources almost three times this amount must be collected. 20,000 PHYSICIANS ENROLLED Surgeon-General William C.

Paris Armies of Crown Prince Rupprecht, Bavaria, again are hitting the Allied line in a new offensive, with P;iris apparently their object. Between Montdidier and Noyon, over a front of about 22 miles, .preceded, as usual, by a heavy bombardment with shells of all calibers and with noxious gases, the enemy's initial maneuver evidently has in view the bending back of the Allied front toward the town of St. Just on the northern wing and toward the railroad junction of Compiegne on the southern flank, getting astride the Oise river and driving southwest toward the French capital. Allied Line Holding Strongly. French troops are resisting the impact with their usual valor, but the Germans on their right and in the center, have been able to penetrate the line for distances ranging from twothirds of a mile south of Montdidier to relatively two and a half miles at Ressons-Sur-Matz, in the center. Thence to Noyon, however, the Allied line is holding strongly. If success should rest with the enemy on the new battle front, it possibly might badly affect the stability of the line of the defenders of the Oise to the Marne and compel a falling back westward from the Oise to the region of the Marne northwest of Chateau Thierry in order to straighten out the deep salient that would then project eastward with the Soissons sector as its apex. The Allied commanders, it is asserted, were not taken unawares by the new offensive. Allies Have Prepared for Shock. On the other hand they had anticipated, since the failure of the army of the German crown prince to gain its objectives between Soissons and the Marne and thence on the southern part of the line running to Rheims, the German high command would decree another maneuver to the north and preparations accordingly were made to withstand the shock. Kaiser Tightens Grip on His Allies. Amsterdam—Unity ef military command has been extended from Germany and Austria to embrace Bulgaria and Turkey, the Deutsche Tages Zeitung of Berlin reports.

C H A P T E R XVI—Continued. —12— "Cassell had a fancy for t h a t particular blonde. The answer came back In the s h a p e of a volley of cusses. I changed the subject. , "After a while our talk veered round to t h e way the Boches had been exposing themselves on the road down on the c h a r t a s Target 17. W h a t he said about those Baches would never have passed the relchstag, though I believe It would have gone through our censor easily enough. "The b u r s t i n g shells were making such a din that I packed up talking rtnd took to watching the captain. He w a s fidgeting around on an old sandbag with t h e glass to his eye. Occasionally he would let out a grunt, and make some remark I couldn't hear on account of the noise, but I guessed what it was all right, Fritz was getting fresh again on that road. "Cassell had been sending in the 'tap code1 to me, but I was fed u p and didn't bother with it. Then h e sent O. S., and I t\;as all attention, for this was a call used between u s which meant t h a t something important was on. I w a s all e a r s in an instant. Then Cassell t u r n e d loose. " ' Y o u b l a n k e t y blank dud, I have been trying to raise you for fifteen minutes. W h a t ' s the matter, are you asleep?' ( J u s t a s if anyone could have slept in that infernal r a c k e t ! ) 'Never mind framing a nasty answer. J u s t listen.' " ' A r e you game for putting something over on the Boches and Old Pepper all In one?' "I answered t h a t 1 was game enough . when It came t o putting it over the Boches, but confessed t h a t I had a w e a k e n i n g of the spine, even a t the mention of Old Pepper's name. "He came back with, 'It's so absurdly easy and simple that there is n o chance of t h e old heathen rumbling it. Anyway, if we're caught, I'll tak*e theblame.' "Under these condition 1 told him to spit out his scheme. It was so daring and simple t h a t it took my breath away. T h i s is w h a t he proposed : "If t h e Boches should use that road again, to send by the tap system the with hJs feet. At last, turning to me, he said : " 'Wilson, this army Is a blankety blank washout. What's the use of having artillery if it is not allowed to fire? The government a t home ought to be hanged with some of their red tape. It's through them that we have no shells.' "I answered, 'Yes, sir,' and started sending thfs opinion over the wire t o Cassell, b u t t h e captain interrupted me with : " 'Keep those Infernal fingers still. What's the matter, getting the nerves? When I'm talking to you, pay attention.' "My heart sank. Supposing he had rumbled that tapping, then all would be up with our plan. I stopped drumming with my fingers and s a i d : " 'Beg your pardon, sir, just a habit with me.' " 'And a d d silly one, too,' he answered, turning t o his glasses again, and I knew I was safe. He had not tumbled t o the meaning of that tapping. "All a t once, without turning round, he exclaimed : " 'Well, of all the nerve I've ever run order to tire. Range and everything correct, too. I know I didn't. Wilson, did I give you any order for the battery to open u p ; Of course I didn't, did I?' "I answered very emphatically, 'No, sir, you gave no command. Nothing went through this post. I am absolutely certain on that point, sir.' " 'Of course nothing went through,' he replied. Then his face fell, and he muttered out loud : " 'But, by Jove, wait till Old Pepper gets wind of this. There'll be fur flying.' J u s t then Bombardier Cassell cut In on the wire : " 'General's compliments to Captain A . H e directs t h a t officer and signaler report a t the double t o brigade h e a d q u a r t e r s as soon as relieved. Relief now on the way.' "In a n undertone to me, 'Keep a brass front, Wilson, and for God's sake, stick.' I answered with, 'Rely on me, mate,' but I was trembling all over. "I gave the general's message to the captain, and started packing up. "The relief arrived, and a s we left the post the captain said : 14 'Now for the fireworks, and I know they'll be good and plenty.' They were. "When we arrived a t the gun pits the b a t t e r y commander, the sergeant major and Cassell were waiting for us. We fell in line and the funeral march It. Don't be gaping a t me like a Hah. Spit it out.' "I stammered, 'Sir, I knuw absolutely nothing.' " 'That's easy to see,' h e roared; 'rhut stupid face tells me that. Shut up. Get o u t ; but I think you are u d- d liar just the same. Back to your battery.' "I saluted and made my exit. " T h a t night the captain sent for us. With fear and trembling we went to his dugout. He was alone. After saluting we stood a t attention in front of him and waited. His say was short. " 'Don't you two ever get it iuto your heads that Morse i s a dead language. I've known i t for years. T h e two of you had better get rid of that nervous habit of tapping t r a n s m i t t e r s ; it's dangerous. T h a t ' s all.' "We saluted, and were just going out the door of the dugout when the captain called up back and said : M 'Smoke Goldfiakes? Yes? Well, there are two tins of thern on my table. Go back to the battery, and keep your tongues between your teeth. Understand?' "We understood. "For five weeks afterwards our battery did nothing but extra fatigues. We were satisfied and so were the men. I t w a s worth it to put one over on Old Pepper, to say nothing of the injury caused to Fritz' feelings." When Wilson had finished his story I looked up a n d t h e dugout w a s \WM fmy*w • jjjJ 11¾¾^1 to brigade h e a d q u a r t e r s started.

Cassell, later, described i t a s -sounding like a bombing raid. In about two m i n u t e s t h e officer reappeared. The sweat was pouring from his forehead, a n d his face w a s the color of a beet. H e was speechless. As h e passed t h e captain he Jerked his thumb In the direction of t h e lion's den and went out. Then the captain went in, and t h e lions were once again fed. The captain stayed about twenty minutes and came out. I couldn't see his face, but the droop In his shoulders was enough. He looked like a wet hen. "The door of t h e geueral's room opened and Old Pepper stood in the doorway. With a roar he shouted : " ' W h i c h one of you Is Cassell? D n me, get your heels together when I s p e a k ! Come in here.1' "Cassell started to say, 'Yes sir,' "But Old Pepper roared, 'Shut u p ! ' "Cassell came out in five minutes. He said nothing, but as he passed me left. Wilson whispered to me "Blime me, Yank, I see where I click for crucifixion. T h a t captain is t h e same one t h a t chucked us Goldfiakes in his dugout and here I have been 'chucking me weight about In his hearing.' " Wilson never clicked his crucifixion. Empey tells of a narrow escape in the next installment. (TO BE CONTINUED.) JOKE ON SCHOOL VISITOR HOW MRS.

Hut that there must be a reason is quite evident. Probably more than one—but the one that requires emphasis—is that the soil is of the nature that will produce good crops. It wus not long since that the farmer selected his land in the most haphazard way. He need not do so today. He will select it on the soil analysis plan. Soil from Western Canada was submitted to Prof. Sievens, soil physicist of the State College of Washington, at Pullman, Wash. Ills report should no doubt further encourage settlement in Western Canada. It reads as follows : "We have analyzed this sample and find that It runs high In lime, very high in potash, phosphorus and in nitrogen ; that it has u splendid supply of organic matter and Is in the best of physical condition. There is nothing wrong with this soil from the standpoint of crop production, and I am satisfied that it will give splendid results wherever put under cultivation." It is soil like this properly worked, and on scientific lines, as is the rule today, that gives the opportunity to quote the experiences of farmers who have Increased their incomes from $500 to $30,000 in two seasons, and whose story would read as follows : "I have threshed altogether 7,000 bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from 200 acres, which went from 24 to 50 per acre—sod breaking 24, spring plowing 36, back setting f>6 bushels— the average being 35 bushels per acre." The newspaper giving an account of this man's experience s a y s : "When he disposed of his 1,000 acres from north of Brooks, Alta, to four Oak Harbor men, he was worth $30,000. Two years ngo he came here with $500 and a few hoi-sen." It is the soil of Western Canada, nnd the knowledge of what it will do that brings to Canada the hundreds of settlers that are daily arriving at the border. A growing enthusiasm for the fertile prairie lands of Western Canada is spreading all over the continent. This enthusiasm Is the recognition of the fact that sufficient food could he produced on those prairie lands to feed the world, From the south, east and west, hundreds of men, too old for military service, are pouring into Western Cnnnda to t a k e up land or to work on the farms. A great many of the incoming settlers have arrived at such central points as Calgary, Edmonton, and Letbbridgo, Alberta, and at Reglnn, Moose Jaw, and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Judging from the bulk of their household effects, the number of their horses and cattle, and the quantify of implements they are bringing with them, most of the new arrivals also seem well blessed with the world's goods. Reports from North Portal, Saskatchewan : Coutts, Alberta, and Kingsgate, British Columbia—the principal gateways into Western Canada from the United States—indicate that the present influx of farmers is in such volume -as has not been witnessed for many years. From Vancouver, British Columbia, people are going to the prairies for summer farm work, many wit!) the intention of taking up land themselves at the end of the summer. The Influence of this tide of farmer settlers on greater food production will be more readily appreciated when it Is considered, that the average settler takes up at least twice as much land ns he has hitherto been farming—and land which, aero for acre, produces better nnd larger crops.—Advertisement Where the Trouble Was, Jon.^s—Are yoi; good at mental /irithmeik', B r o w i ?

This is not only true of the stupendous spectacle of war in its most barbaric form, asserts a prominent fashion critic, but it is true of the minor accidents and happenings that flutter through "This Imbroglio called life." Observe fashions. The designers dip '.heir hands deep ^nto the boiling pot of ancient lauds, history and peoples, and pull out of it demure or fantastic things, which they dress up a bit and give over to a most modern people, who accept them as new. At present the designers are dipping more deeply than ever. They seem to be frantically pulling out odds and ends of flotsam and jetsam that must serve to whet the appetites of those who have money. Garden Hats and Tea Gowns. It seemed a fitting thing today to revive the simplicity of Civil war co«- tutnery, and therefore we see approaching us an era of printed muslins, garden bats, pastel colors and Colonial fichus. Along with these fashions comes that intimate and usually alluring garment (/ailed the tea gown. It is as much a part of the English social system as five o'clock tea, cricket and parliament. The French have <;Iwavs Sumptuous gown with long mantle. Purple and gold tissues are combined in this garment. The purple and gold oriental sash which drapes the hips ends In a gold embroidered panel in front, and the sleeves are of diaped gold and purple tulle. placed their reliance upon the garment which they call the "robe d'interieur." But the American had nothing to place beside these two. When this remark was once made to a French designer she lifted her eyebrows in surprise and asked. "But Is there not the Mother Hubbard?" T h e r e was. she was assured, but it was p.nt the kind of garment of which she would approve. But here in America today we are rapidly learning the artistic value and comfort of the British tea gowns, which someone once described as the only really soft thing in the British nation. That statement was made, however, before the English woman had learned to copy the arts and the graces of face and figure from the French, and when she still wore her stiff, unyielding, ugly clothes; her big EASY TO MAKE YOUR GUIMPE boots; straight, mannish Scotch tweeds, and raglan '-oats. The English tea gown has spread over the civilized world, alongside of the English five o'clock tea, which even the American soldiers behind the French battle front have learned to desire. The British wear two sets of costurnery at that hour in the afternoon, and both of these are Introduced this s u m m e r ; the flowered muslin with the big shade hat, and the alluring tea gown with its fanciful coloring and Its loose grace. • Substitute It for Dinner Gown. One of the reusons that Amerlcu Is wearing this tea gown at and after the ftve o'cluck hour Is that the French have taught her the economy and pleasure of it. Black, midnight blue, olive green, bei-ge and munitions gray have ruled the outdoor costurnery of the French people since August, 1914. They hav6 worn white only at mountain and seashore resorts, and then It was restricted to sport, clothe* for the morning hours. The French a r e quite willing to wear dark and demure clothes In the street, but they ease up the depression ol their spirits by adopting colors in their own homes. At the opera, the play^ in public restaurants, one sees clothes in somber colors; but in the F r e n c h homes—especially in the Paris houses, where women a r e involved in a social system—there is a brilliant display of the British tea gown. It solves t h e problem ; It satisfies the need for colo.'. America's Contribution. We are becoming quite self-assurud in designing clothes these days, and have made such rapid progress that we do not rest entirely upon w h a t others give us. When the dressmakers found t h a t women who spent different amounts of money and moved in different kinds of social life were asking for tea gowns, there immediately jumped up a kind of rivalry among the workers to see who could get out something startling and good. The especial contribution in which this rivalry has resulted Is the rainbow tea gowns. We have already found out that we are In for a "rainbow" season. Whoever named the first fighting division that went to France had a happy inspiration—it gave the word to a hundred activities in this country. The name flickers from the stage, on posters, gowns and hats, and now It seems to have found iin admirable setting in the new tea gown. Elaborate J a p a n e s e Style. P'rance has sent to us a striking tea gown that is being copied. It is made as an elaborate J a p a n e s e kimono. The material is extra-broad black and white striped satin. There is a flicker of white lace nnd a bit of white satin, and the robe Is complete. All of the house robes that are to be substituted for dinner gowns this spring and summer do not owe their inspiration to the exotic East. There are other epochs and other fashions from which the designers draw. The early nineteenth century has been found prolific in Ideas. The tea gowns which are taken from that time are sometimes more suitable for the average woman than the more complicated draperies. These are made of flowered chiffon, printed voile and silk net, nnd they are run beneath the bust, after the manner that obtained ;:, the Directoire, with broad ribbons of old blue, pale pink and Chinese yellow. They are half low and round In the neck, and have short puffed sleeves. (Copyright, 191S, hv the.

A. C Experiment Station Reports on Results of Five Years' Work. RENOVATION IS BIG HELP Michigan Beans, Shipped West, Grown and Brought Back, One Demonstrated Solution. By J. H. M U N C I E , Plant Pathologist, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—As usual large acreages of beans are being put In, or have already been seeded in the legume- growing centers of the state, among which may be mentioned Tus- -cola county, Saginaw, Huron, Gratiot, Isabella and a number of other districts. It is a fact, however, that despite Michigan's pre-eminence as a producer of day edible beans, the raising of this crop has been gravely interfered with by the spread of bean diseases within the state. More than anything else (unless it be a satisfactory adjustment of the price question) Michigan growers are feeling the need for measures by which these annually recurring epidemics of blight «nd anthracnose can be controlled. When we remember that the average yield of beans per acre within the state in 1905 was 15 bushels, and that in 1914 It was only 11.8, and that In 1917 it was still less, the Imperative need of remedial measures of some kind can readily be comprehended. The one consolation which Michigan men who have tackled this bean disease problem have been able to see in the situation has been the fact that other states where navy beans are grown are in almost as bad a way. But undoubtedly, Michigan is feeling the damage most, for in the ten years from 1905 to 1915, we produced 70 per cent of the nation's bean crop. During the last five years the experiment station of the college has been Investigating and studying these diseases Incessantly—witti the result thus far that the control of bean diseases does not seem much nearer than it was when the work was begun. Still the idea should not be entertained that the work was fruitless, for while It was found that chemicals do not seem to do much good when applied to the seed, a number of methods of control which may be successfully made use of in the future were developed. For one thing, progress in the breeding of a disease-resistant variety Is being made by Prof. F. H. Spragg of the farm crops experiment station; for another thing it has been demonstrated that such practices as selecting of disease- free pods in the field from vigorous plants, and the planting of only strictly clean seed help materially to reduce losses. But more promising than any of these was the proving that If Michigan beans are shipped to California or Idaho and grown and the seea" brought back here, a practically disease-free crop can be raised. What the experiment station did was send several consignments of beans to California and Idaho, where they were grown under contract by a number of selected western farmers. The seed from this crop was then brought back. These beans germinated well, and the seedlings came up strongly and evenly, producing an excellent stand of beans. The California-grown seed ripened about two weeks earlier than the crops from the Michigan and Idaho seed. The yield was about fourteen bushels to the acre. Altogether, the growing of Michigan beans for one, or even two seasons In some western state where the climatic conditions are extremely unfavorable to the diseases present the best means of combating bean diseases In thi* state, at least until a disease-resistant variety of beans can be obtained. The growing of beans in Idaho is rendered more of less uncertain by the early frosts; in California bean blight Is much more serious than in Idaho. Yet, with careful selection of seed for sending West and the proper location, iplantlng and cultivation of the crop, excellent results should be obtained from growing beans In lower California. This method of obtaining seeo>on a large scale should recommend itself to both growers and Jobbers. With a comparatively small expenditure the growers and Jobbers' associations could establish warehouses in a deair- :> i The rvsulis of the L'X;HT!wents a» a. whole, were us follows: Both beau unthracuose uud blight are earned to the held in or on the seed, and affect all ihe parts ot the plant above ground. The organism which cVuses these dineases is carried from one part of the plant to another in drops of water. Cultivating when the plants are wet with dew or rain will spread ihea« diseases. Seed treatments with chemical solutions have failed to control the8e diseases. Spraying should, to a great extent, control the amhraenose and blight tf the spray material is applied thoroughly and the applications are made soon enough. The first application should be made when the cotyledons are still on the seedlings. The diseases can be greatly reduced through the use of clean seed. Such seed can he secured by pod selection, or from Michigan beans grown one year in Idaho or California. Native western beans cannot be successfully grown in Michigan. By growing Michigan seed beans in Idaho or California, Michigan can secure clean seed each year, regardless of local weather conditions during the previous season. Such seed if planted consistently, as a general practice In the state, would reduce the losses due to these diseases to a negligible amount.

Issues Bulletin Telling Gardeners How It Can Be Done. Department of Horticulture, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—"The wise gardener this season will be the gardener who raises his own seed," the department of horticulture of M. A. C. is letting it be known. This precaution must be taken, the department avers, because the supply upon which the country would normally depend for ita 1919 planting will not be forthcoming. "The reserve supply of seed usually carried by the seed houses has never been so low In the history of the business," a bulletin from the horticulturists says. "This is attributable to a j down. The Largest Number of Casualties at Sea Given As 209 Men Lost From Transport Tuscania. Washington Seven thousand, three hundred and fifteen men is the complete casualty toll of the American expeditionary forces, according to the first official summary issued by the war department. The list shows that more men have died of disease, accident and other causes than were killed in action or have died of wounds. One thousand five hundred and eighty-four succumbed to disease and other causes, while 1,34:¾ were killed in action or died of wounds. The list includes 198 casualties an nounced Sunday the longest that has come from General Pershing. A summary with figures brought up to date will be issued weekly. The list is divided as follows: Killed in action (including 291 at sea,) 1,033. Died of wounds, 310. Died of disease, 1,192. Died of accident and other causes, 392. Wounded in action, 4,046.

"The old-time practice of saving one's own garden seed can in this emergency be revived with advantage, remembering that the fundamental principle in successful seed saving is , selection of seed only from the best plants." A bulletin entitled "Saving Seeds for the Home and Market Garden" is being issued by the college, and can be obtained by mailing a card to the Experiment Station, East Lapsing, with a request for "Circular No. 35." VARIETY ORCHARD IN FAVOR Opportunity Afforded Orchardist Make Selection of Kinds of Fruit Desired. t« A variety orchard not only affords fruits in season, thus extending the time for fresh fruits, but it gives the orchardist a flue opportunity to study varieties and thus fortifies him with information suitable for determining the best varieties of such fruits as apples, peaches, plums, pears, grapes, strawberries, blackberries, dewberries, etc. In this way we need not depend upon our neighbors' advice as to the best variety, though their advice may be helpful, but we can test the varieties on our own farms. BERRIES PLANTED IN GARDEN Qood Plan to 8et Between Rows of Early Sweet Corn—Remove Before Harm Is Done. fornla and grow under contract each year enough beans to Insure a fair crop in Michigan. Of course this method would be impractical for small growers, though local growers' associations could profitably take np the growing of seed for their own member* In the home garden, In case water is available, strawberry plants may succeed an early garden crop, preferably peas or beans, as they leave the soil In excellent condition. Not a bad plan Is to sat strawberry plants between rows of early sweet corn. The corn gives some shade, but not too much and may be removed altogether before any harm Is done to the strawberry plants. Strawberry plants can also be set between rows of early potatoes and a hoeing given when the potatoes are dug. While no official explanation was given for the decision of the department to advise the oountry weekly of the exact total of casualties since the landing of the first American forces in France last June, it is understood that it resulted largely from widespread reports that casualties had been very heavy and that total figures were being withheld from the public. It has been explained at the depart* ment that the daily lists sent by Gen* eral Pershing are issued with as little delay as possible. Casualties are so scattered in the lists that they will not give information of value to the enemy, but this does not mean that any appreciable numbers are held back. After heavy actions, such as that at Cantigny, it requires several days to check up the casualties and eable them to the department. American troops have been in the trenches several months and now hold sectors at several points along the western front. In addition many American units are brigaded with the French and British and have been in heavy fighting since the German driTS began in March. General Pershing's men first went into the front line last November for training and soon afterwards they took of a trench sector permanently, Other units went into the trenches for final training with the French later and finally took over sectors so that the total frontage now held by the Americans rank second to that of the French and British armies. Advancing Years Evidently Have in No Way Dimmed Scotsman's Keen Sense of Humor. Mr. Andrew Carnegie was once asked which he considered to be the most important factor In Industry—labor, capital, or brains? The canny Scot replied, with merry twinkle in his eye: "Which is the most important leg of a three-legged Rtool?" The above reminds us of what Mr. Carnegie once said at a dinner: "Don't believe the old fellows who talk about the superiority of the past over the present. Those old fellows arc possessed by the same absurdity which possessed Dash. M , I guess I want a pair of spectacles,' he said to his oculist. '"Ah, old age coming on, eh?' laugher the oculist.

Washington—Siberia is ripe for Al« lied intervention of the right sort, President Wilson has been told. Men on whose judgment he has hitherto relied have laid before him a plan whereby the Allied armies are to be accompanied by economic missions to restore order in the country as the armies march ahead. Those who favor intervention received remarkable support from statements of Ensign Alexander Petrenke, once a leading "ace" of the Russian army. He arrived in Washington from Vladivostok, whither he had fled across Siberia after the defeat of General Kaledine's Cossack army in the Don country. He declares that 1,000 officers of the Russian army, among them many generals, are eagerly awaiting at Vladivostok the Allied aid in arms, which, they say, must be furnished their country, before Russia becomes a hopeless wreck of anarchy, and easy prey for Germany.

TREAT raDfiTBOTl Vf Red Cross Workers Refuse to Retreat While There Is Work To Do. AMERICANS IN HERO ROLE Incident of Early Spring Offensive of Huns on the Somme That Should Make Americans Proud of Their Men. Washington.—The story of the part America and Americans played in aiding the British and the French during the early spring offensive of the Germans on the Somme can never be adequately told. The whole picture is too hig to paint on one canvas. It is only by describing the work of individuals and particular groups of workers that some idea of the American effort and its effectiveness in this historic battle can be brought home to the people back home—uud then only in a small way. While' it is perhaps only a very small incident in the history of that great affair, the story of how a small band of American Red Cross workers 'carried on" at one of the evacuation hospitals hack of the British front should make Americans proud. When all but n-fesv of the hospital staff had left with the two hundred or more patients and the Germans were advancing only a few miles away, four American army surgeons, assigned to the American Red Cross for work at this particular hospital, declared their intention of "sticking till h— froze over." And sis lied Cross ambulance and truck drivers, as well as several American Red Cross nurses and aides "stuck" with them. The Americans made their decision not because of sheer bravado, but because the hospital had the opportunity of serving n few wounded soldiers from day to day—and could 6ave their lives. And at this writing these Americans are still there, giving muchneeded medical attention to French and British soldiers who are brought back to this hospital because it is the nearest one back of that point of the line. The big guns of the British and French have been planted in. the rear of it—and then moved farther back. The Boche airmen come over at night The little group of Americans have RAISE GARDEN STUFF Red Cross Establishes Truck Farms in France. Supplies Recreation and Employment to Convalaacenta and Inert**** Food Supply. Paris.—With a view to supplying recreation and employment to convalescents, and incidentally Increasing the food supply, the American Red Cross has established ten truck farina in connection with base hospitals tn France where, under trained supervision, the convalescents are raising vegetables for consumption tn the hospitals. The number of farms will be Increased during the year, the American Red Cross supplying seed, implements and trained supervision, as well SJ money for operating expense*. At one place, where there are three base hospitals together, a farm of 100 acre* Is now under cultivation, though seen the troops, guns and transports go by In streams to points in the rear, but as long as the wounded are brought there, these Americans will .stay. A few hours after American Red Cross headquarters in Paris learned of the big German offensive, it dispatched eight trucks and motor cars to this hospital to aid In the evacuation of the patients. Night and day the Red Cross drivers worked bringing the wounded from the hospital to Paris. When this had been accomplished the Red Cross cars went out into the surrounding country to pick up the wounded, who were attempting to walk to a hospital, and to aid the refugees straggling along the r ad. Besides transporting these two hundred or more wounded men to pmcef> of safety, the Red Cross cars aided 130 refugees to the railheads in three uays. But their work had only begun. Despite the evacuation of the hospital and the consequent order for more of the staff to accompany the patients to points of safety, the wounded kept coining in. Ninety per cent of them were serious cases. Practically all demanded immediate operations. Not simple operations, but major ones, where a steady nerve, delicate touch and sure hand were necessary to give the wounded the best chance for life. Night and day the American surgeons worked. There were a few nurses to assist, but all were tired— completely fagged, mentally and physically. Every one needed rest. But there were the men coming in every few hours, their bodies pitifully torn, and suffering untold agonies. So no one thought of stopping, and even when one did get a few hours off duty there were the big guns only a few hundred feet ffom the hospital. They belched and roared all night. Of course, some of the cases were hopeless and no amount of surgical skill or medical attention could save thera. Here again the American Red Ci-oss men came In for more work. They had to dig the graves and act as pallbearers. One night was especially hard. The doctors were kept busy in the operating room until three o'clock in the morning. The nurses had to have a bit of rest. One nurse only was available. So again the Red Cross drivers were called upon. One became an aid to the operating surgeon, remaining tn service until the last wounded man was rolled finally Into his bed. the average farm is about eight acres. Two of the larger farms are equipped with tractors. For the moat part, however, the work Is hand labor, that the convalescents may profit to the utmost from the outdoor exercise. Owing to climate conditions gardening is an all-the-yenr-round occupation in France and Is carried on In a most intensive way, with every inch of ground under cultivation and rows between rows, as, for instance, cabbages between rows of potatoes. When plants are removed in the morning the ground is worked over during the day and by night the soil is again at work on freshly sown seed. No charge is made the hospitals for the produce, but accounts are kept and It Is expect* ed to show that the farms more than pay for the cost of operation. Through these gardens many French Poilus will have their first taste of the great American delicacy* "corn on the cob." A greater use of a variety of vegetables is made in France than In America and the Red Cross is supplying seed for beans, beet*, cabbage, cauliflower, brussela sprouts, carrots, celery, Swiss chard, chicory, corn, cu- Turna Seepage Into Brine, Which Acta Ab a Prebervative of the Wood. Seattle, Wash*.—C. O. Morrow, president of the Elllottray Shipbuilding company, suffered something of a shock the other morning, but at that It wus nothing to the shock suffered by several prom men t citizens who wer* taking a stroll through the company's big wooden shipbuilding plant. The citizens were shocked when they discovered that 20 tons of rock salt is used in building each of the big wooden ships now under construction in Seattle. Mr. Morrow was shocked because his cullers didn't know that rock salt Is u shipbuilding material. Everybody on the water front knows that, but it seems that there are a lot of prominent business men who didn't. There is now a suspicion that only a very few residents east of Railroad avenue know that a wooden ship has to be salted. In showing the prominent citizens about his plant. Mr. Morrow came to the building in which he stores this rock salt. A railroad car was unloading another shipment. "This is where we keep the salt for the ahips," said Morrow. "Haw, haw!" said one caller, who Is something of a humorist. "I suppose you're afraid the ships will get too fresh?" "That's the exact truth," said Mr. Morrow. Put the citizens wouldn't believe him until they had examined the salt. Some of them tasted it. The storehouses contained 120 tons. Mr. Morrow explained that the salt is [toured between the frames of a wooden ship above the water line and is tamped down solid. Then if any water seeps into the spaces between the frames it is turned to brine and does not damage the wood. Instead, it acts as a preservative. FIRST CONSOLATION r r #-* * - ^ Photo by A.

H e was fifty-seven, although looking forty. "Old Scotty" had been born in the Northwest and had served In the Northwest Mounted r*)llce. He was a typical cowpuncher and Indian fighter and was a dead shot T i t h the rifle, and took no pains to ftisguise this fact from us. He used to take care of his rifle as If it were a baby. In his spare moments you could nlways see him cleaning it or polishing the stock. Woe betide the man who by mistake happened to get hold of this rifle; he soon found out his error. Scott was as deaf as a mule, *»»id it was amusing at p a r a d e to watch Kxrn ki the manual of arms, slyly glancing out of the corner of his eye at the man next to him to see what the order was. How he passed the doctor was a mystery to u s ; he must have bluffed his way through, because he certainly was Independent. Beside him the Fourth of July looked like Good Friday. He wore at the time a large sombrero, had a Mexican stock saddle over his shoulder, a lariat on his arm, and a "forty-five" hanging from his hip. Dumping this paraphernalia on the floor he went up to the recruiting officer and shouted: "I'm from America, west of the Rockies, and w a n t to join your d d army. Tve got no use for a German and can -shoot some. At Scotland Yard they t u r n e d me d o w n ; said I was deaf and so I am. I don't h a n k e r to ship in with a d d mud-crunching outfit, but the cavalry's full, so I guess this regiment's better than none, so trot out your papers and I'll sign 'em." He told them he was forty and slipped by. I was on recruiting service at the time h e applied for enlistment. It was Old Seotty's great ambition to be a sniper or "body snatcher," as Mr. Atkins calls it. The day that he was detailed as brigade sniper he celebrated his appoiutment by blowing t h e whole platoon to fags. Being a Yank, Old Scotty took a liking to me and used to spin some great y a r n s about the plains, and the whole platoon would drink these in and ask for more. Ananias was a rookie compared with him. T h e ex-plainsman and discipline could not agree, but the officers all liked him, even if he was hard to manage, so when he was detailed as a sniper a sigh of relief went up from t h e officers' mess. Old Scotty had t h e freedom of the brigade. He used to draw two or t h r e e days* rations and disappear with his glass, range finder and rifle, and we would see or hear no- more of him until suddenly he would reappear with a couple of notches added to those already on t h e butt of his rifle. Every time he got a German It meant a n o t h e r notch. He was proud of these notches. But after a few months F a t h e r Rheumatism got him and he was sent to B l i g h t y ; the air in the wake of his s t r e t c h e r was blue with curses. Old Scotty surely could s w e a r ; some of his o u t b u r s t s actually burned you. No doubt, at this writing, he Is "somewhere In Blighty" pussy footing it on c bridge or along the wall of some monition plant with the "G. R," or H O B * Defense corps. CHAPTER X V I I . Out In F r o n t After tea I ieutenant Stores of our •ection CTTr.e Into t h e dugout and Informed me that I was "for" a reconnoltering patrol and would carry six Mills bombs. At 11:30 t h a t night twelve men, our lieutenant and myself went out in front on a patrol in No Man's Land. We cruised around In the dark for about two hours, Just knocking about looking for trouble, on the lookout for Boche working parties to see w h a t they were doing. Around two in the morning we were carefully picking our way about thirty yards in front of the German barbed wire, "when we walked Into a Boche covering party nearly thirty strong. Then the music started, the fiddler rendered his bill, and we paid. Fighting In the dark with a bayonet is not very pleasant. The Germans took It on the run, but our officer was no novice at the game and didn't follow them, He gave the order "down on the ground, hug It close." Just In time, too, because a volley skimmed over our heads. Then In low tones we were told to separate and crawl back to our trenches, each man on his own. We could see the flashes of their rifles in the darkness, but the bullets were going over our heads. We lost three men killed and one wounded In the arm. If it hadn't been for our officer's quick thinking the whole patrol would have probably been wiped out. After about twenty minutes' wait we went out again and discovered t h a t the Germans had a wiring party working on their barbed wire. We returned to our trenches unobserved with the information and our machine guns immediately got busy. The next night four men were sent o u t ' t o go over and examine the German barbed wire and see If they had cut lanes through i t ; If so, this presaged an early morning attack on our trenches. Of course I had to be one of the four selected for the Job. It was Just like sending a fellow to the undertaker's to order his own coffin. At ten o'clock we started out, armed with three bombs, a bayonet and revolver. After getting Into No Man's Land we separated. Crawling four or five feet at a time, ducking star shells, with strays cracking overhead, I reached their wire. I scouted along this inch by Inch, scarcely breathing. I could hear them talking In their trench, my heart was pounding against my ribs. One false move or the least noise from me meant discovery and almost certain death. After covering my sector I quietly crawled back. I had gotten about half way when I noticed that my revolver was missing. It was pitch dark. I turned about to see If I could find I t ; It couldn't be far away, because about three or four minutes previously I had felt the butt In the holster. I crawled around iu circles and at last found it, then started on my way back to our trenches, as I t h o u g h t Pretty soon I reached barbed wire, and was just going to give the password when something told me not to. I put out my hand and touched one of the barbed wire stakes. It w a s iron. The British a r e of wood, while t h e German are iron. My heart stopped beating; by mistake I had crawled back to the German lines. I turned slowly about and my tunic caught on the wire and made a loud ripping noise. A sharp challenge rang o u t I sprang to my feet, ducking low, and ran madly back toward our lines. T h e Germans started firing. The bullets were biting all around me, when b a a £ l I ran smash into uur wire, and a sharp chullenge, " 'Ale, who comes t h e r e ? " rang out. 1 gaaped out the pusBword, and, groping my way through the lane In the wire, tearing my h a n d s and uniform, I tumbled into our trench and wus sufe, but 1 was a nervous wreck for tin hour, until u drink of rum brought me round. CHAPTER X V I I I . Staged Under Fire. Three days after the incident Just related our company was relieved from the front line and carried. We stayed in reserve billets for about two weeks when we received the welcome news t h a t our division would go back of the line "to rest bllleta." We would remain in these billets for at least two months, this in order to be restored to our full strength by drafts of recruits from Blighty. Everyone was happy and contented at these t i d i n g s ; all you could hear around the billets was whistling and singing. The day after the receipt of t h e order we hiked for five days, making an average of about twelve kilos per day until we arrived at the small town of O' . It took us about three days to get 1 settled, and from then on our cushy time started. We would p a r a d e from I 8:45 in the morning until 12 noon. ; Then except for an occasional billet ! or brigade guard we were on our own. For the first four or five afternoons I spent my time In bringing up to date my neglected correspondence. Tommy loves to be amused, and being a Yank, ' t h e y turned to me for something new in this line. I taught them how to pitch horseshoes, and this game made a great hit for about ten days. Then Tommy turned to America for a new diversion. I was up In the air until a happy thought c a m e to me. Why not write a sketch and break Tommy in as an actor? One evening after "lights out," when you are not supposed to talk, I Imparted my scheme in whispers to the section. They eagerly accepted t h e idea of forming a stock company and could hardly wait until the morning for further details. After parade, the next afternoon I was almost mobbed. Everyone In the section wanted a p a r t in the proposed sketch. When I informed them t h a t It would take at least ten days of hard work to write the plot, they were bit- Adjacent to our billet was an open field. We got busy at one end of it and constructed a stage. We secured the lumber for the stage by demolishing uo old wooden shack In the rear of our billet. The first scene was supposed to represent a street on the Bowery in New York, while the scene of the second act was the interior of the Diamond Palace saloon, also on the Bowery. In the play I took the p a r t of Abe Switch, a farmer, who had come from Pumpkinville Center, Tenn., to make J his first visit to New York. ! In the first scene Abe Switch meets j the proprietor of the Diamond Palac« | saloon, a ramshackle affair which to the owner wus a financial loss. The proprietor's name was Tom Twistem, his bartender being named Flllem Up. i After meeting Abe, Tom and Flllem I Up persuaded him to buy the place, praising it to the skies and telling , wondrous tales of the money taken | over the bar. \ Em difficu cess. about pey stages itiea The it. but next his with play grea installmen under t suct tells > (TO B E CONTINUED.) NO OUTWARD SIGN OF GRIEF Dumb Agony of Coesack Woman, Taking Leave of Mate, More Impressive Than Flow of Tears. It was the square of Yurievets (on the Volga) that one of those tragic fragments which life casts up like driftwood was flung at our feet. A Cossack's leave-taking of his m a t e ; that was all, a million times repeated In a million different izbas, in that one summer. But It was more—symbol of woman's ancient and Inarticulate grief. These shawled and booted women of the North are too burdened with earth's sorrow to w e e p ; they are like dumb cattle in their woe. T h e soldier himself was openly wiping his eyes on his coarse, dusty, brown sleeve, while under both a r m s he clutched absurdly two enormous loaves of black bread. A dingy tittle child in its mother's a r m s fluttered uncomprehending hands In the direction of the s t e a m e r ; but from the Mongol-cheeked, gray-eyed woman there was no sign. She neither touched her man In farewell, nor offered any of those small caresses by which we seek to mitigate our grief. The sullen silence of the North had laid its finger upon her, but her eyes followed her mate with the wild, unreasonable grief of the forest sprung. She stood still scaring, u n a w a r e of the baby in her arms, while the steamer moved slowly out Into the gray mists. Long after <Jusk had closed down, I could see her face straining In the gloaming like a mask of * despair.—Olivo Gllbreath in the Yale Review. A Hidden Gun. terly disappointed. I immediately got busy, made a desk out of biscuit tins in the corner of the billet, and p u t up a sign "Empey & Wallace Theatrical Co." About t w e n t y of the section, upon reading this sign, immediately applied for the position of office boy. I accepted the twenty applicants, and sent them on scouting parties throughout the deserted F r e n c h village. These parties were to search all the attics for discarded civilian clothes, and anything that we could use In the props of our proposed company. About five t h a t night they returned covered with grime and dust, but loaded down with a miscellaneous assortment of ^everything under the sun. They must have thought t h a t I was going to s t a r t a d e p a r t m e n t store, Judging from the different things they brought back from their pillage. After eight d a y s ' constant writing I completed a two-act farce comedy which I called "The Diamond Palace Saloon-" Upon the suggestion of one of the boys in t h e section I sent a proof of the program to a printing house In London. Then I assigned t h e different p a r t s and s t a r t e d rehearsing. David Belasco would h a v e , thrown u p h U h a n d s In despair a t t h e material which I had to use.

When your shoe leather gets dry of hard, you should oil or grease it, says the popular Science Monthly. To do this, first brush off all mud and then wash the shoe In warm water, drying It with a soft cloth. While the shoe is still wet, apply the oil or grease, rubbing it in with a swab of wool, or better still with the palm of the hand. After t r e a t m e n t , the shoes should be left to dry in a warm but not In a hot place. Castor oil li recommended for shoes t h a t a r e to be polished.

DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGLAND Diminishing Food Supply Makes Canine Industry Difficult One From War Standpoint. The British government Is wrestling with the problem of what to do with dogs, In view of th<> rapidly diminishing stocks of food. It seems settled that (lie number of dogs Is to be reduced, There are hardly any dog biscuits left, and no more will be manufactured, as the low grade flour from which they are made Is wanted for the textile trades. Honar Law, Chancellor of the exchequer, refused to include a heavy tax on dog* in bis budget, which he Introduced in the last week nf April. His friends said that such a tax would kill dog-breeding as an Industry, and wou^l work unequally between rich and pooi-. The poor man's dog would be sacrificed, while the pampered Pekinese would flourish, Now the alternative proposal is to prohibit the breeding of dogs during the war except under license. The effect of this would be to allow the perpetuation of pedigreed breeds, which have taken many years and large sums of money to produce, and also useful dogs, like sheep dogs and army dogs. The breeding of mongrels and probably of purely fancy dogs would be prohibited. There will be no interference with people who already have dogs. They will In the future need all their ingenuity to keep pets fed. flfllll Better Off if yon drink INSTANT P0STUM i n s t e a d , of coffee.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH Frill Epoch For Children's Wear New York. -Do not take the fashion ' Does your particular memory go of children's clothes for granted. Do j bark to the days when to dress a boy not fall Into the error of going on the J child as u Highlander was to prove old methods. There Is as much ebb J yourself in the fashion? The swagger and flow in the tide of juvenile cos- of the Gordons was not even omitted turnery as in adult, so watch straws from the clothes for small girls. Scotch and then go with the current, is the bonnets were us common among chiladvlce of a prominent fashion writer. Patterns cannot be handed down from one child's wardrobe to another. What was worn last season is usually out of the picture by the time the new season begins. Things were not always according to this schedule of variation. For centuries children were dressed alike. Glimpse backward over the portraits that hang in our museums to prove this. The torturous clothes that were put on infants three centuries ago will most probably make the modern woman, filled to the eyes as she is with the schedules of hygiene and sanitation, want to scream aloud at the misery that wus inflicted. Bven the wooden sabots and long full skirts of the small Dutch girl, with her white rabbit, stirs In the mother of ttye moment a violent feeling of reform. We grieve far more for the discomfort of the young man than for the actual grief of the old. As near to nudity as the law allows has been the modern interpretation of children's clothes, and we have felt- The cape takes on new grace as worn by the younger generation. Immensely useful for seashore or country is this cape of navy blue serge lined with old rose and blue figured silk. that by hardening their legs and arms through constant exposure in the formative years, we are handing them a talisman against weakness and disease in the settlia seasons of life. The elimination of the garter that binds, the corset that restricts, the skirt that hampers, the sleeves that cover, the shoe that pinches, has aided the doctor and the teacher. BELTS WORN IN OTHER DAYS [ Prevailing Style Dates Baok to Middle « Ages, When 8oldier Wore Belt of Metal Plates. The first belts chronicled in the history of costume design are recalled by those put forth this season, to meet the demand for belts on suits, belts on dresses, belts for separate skirts, belts for sweaters, belts for every kind of wear, a writer states. While the use and beauty of a band to bind the garments at the waist was definitely recognised in preceding ages, the history of belts as articles of wearing apparel is talten by many writers to be- S n in the old days of "merrie Engirt." The soldier of the Middle Age* wore, over his armor, a belt of •mail metal plates linked with rings. These are duplicated today in metal *and leather belts for sweaters. The knights on the jousting field and in the banquet hall wore leather or velvet Delta, richly mounted with carved and eoalneMnset metal. These have served aa models for the bedizened affair* sent forth this spring. dren as they are now among men. lint it is not possible for the war to leave all forms of dressing free from its sinister Influence. It touches the clothes for the young in a gentle way, and the way is not objectionable. Middle youth, as it is expressed at seventeen and younger, finds the avion of France and Italy the most picturesque fields from which to draw a fashion here and there. The oblong cap. the flowing cape with one end draped over the shoulder, are neat and attractive fashions to uBe up for the summer season. An illusive kind of Sam Brown belt is becoming a bit common, but it too finds an abiding place on the coat of a slim little suit. Now, however, that such a big majority of young women find that public opinion permits them to wear breeches, cap and coat for war relief work, they are less apt- to use up the military ideas In the more feminine costumes. In children's clothes there is little of the war that can be adopted, but the plaid sashes from Scotland and Naples and Rome, the short black coats, the multiple pockets, are evidences that war has thrown its shadow downward to the cradle. Adopting Fashions of Age. Between the nursery and middle youth there Is a mass of children that must be dressed well throughout the hot season, and for these the designers have turned out enough fashions to supply the demand of a continent of grownups. They smack of sophistication, some of them, and are taken directly from the clothes of their elders. There is the surplice bodice, the Martha Washington collar which resembles a handkerchief, the patentleather belt, the umbrella skirt, and the short sleeves—which, after all, age has merely pilfered from youth this spring. There are still touches of an older war in the retention of the top hat and cape coat in two colors, which was adopted from the dlrectolre and the consulate, after the designers could not force them upon women with any degree of success last winter. The organdie frocks, which spring like mushrooms from Bar Harbor to the Florida coast this year, are found to be admirable for youth when it is parading itself In the afternoon. Grown-Up Fashions In Miniature. It is a fact that you cannot fail to observe, if you have had occasion to study the recently produced clothes for little £irls that some of the styles borrowed from—or, rather, suggested by —the styles launched this spring for mamma's clothes have done rather better in the Juvenile version than in the adult. Whatever may be the fate of the eton Jacket in grown-up cos* turnery, true it is that not one w'omafl in ten can wear it to advantage. In short, the eton jacket style goes very much better with children than with their mothers or big sisters. Likewise the collar that is always part of the picture with the eton jacket—the round-about collar, that seems to make double chins triple, and hides all the prettiest curves in the grown woman's neck without concealing^any of the ugly ones. It is eminently becoming on a little girl; in fact, one never knows what an entirely adorable spot is to be found at the back of a little girl's neck until one has seen it in this eton collar. "(Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newgpaper Syndicate.) The loose girdles which slip well over the hips on this spring's suits for American women, are reproductions of the sword belts worn in England centuries ago, even to their fastening at the side. And the stiff leather belts, clasped firmly about the long cloth coats, are just, such as were worn by the grooms, to give a firm hold for their mistresses, mounted postillion fashion on horseback behind them. For Afternoon Occasions. In most trousseaux there are a number of dainty afternoon costumes, for so many affairs take place now by daylight—receptions, war relief bazaars, fetes and the like. Such frocks are of satin, of foulard and satin, in combination, of embroidered chiffon over satin, of silk poplin, of mohair and worsted weave and other lustrous, suppte fabrics. Straight lines are adhered to, but trimmings of embroidery, of filet lace, of beads, of tasseled sashes and so on give plenty of variety and distinction. Some of the new hats are so trimmed thsrt they seem overdone. BIG DEMAND FOR MAHOGANY Name Commercially Is Applied to More Than Fifty Woods—Substitutes Are Numerous, The name "mahogany" is applied commercially to more than 50 different woods, says Popular Science Monthly. Perhaps half the lumber now sold under that name in not true mahogany, for the demand greatly exceeds the supply. The tree is only native to the limited area between southern Florida and northern South America. Nowhere else does it really flourish. But the publicwill have mahogany. Women want It for furniture, business men prefer it for office fixtures, and teak and mahogany are rivals In the affections of shipbuilders. Therefore substitutes flourish. It is not surprising that the real wood is so expensive when it is learned that it takes from one hundred to one hundred and fifty years for a mahogany tree to reach merchantable size. Most of the substitutes bear little more than a general resemblance to the genuine wood, but skillful finishing makes them very much alike. Experts can usually distinguish between them by the aid of an ordinary pocket lens. The efforts of the superficial, however, to judge the wood by its appearance, weight, grain and color often lead them astray. >YE BACKACHE, KIDNEY BLADDER TROUBLES For centuries all over the world GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil has afforded relief in thousands upon thousands of cases of lame back, lumbago, Kciatica, rheumatism, gallstones, gravel and all other affections of the kidneys, liver, stomach, bladder and allied organs.

C O L L I N S . /Krom the Committee on public Information, Washington, L>. C.) A truveler recently out of Germany toltl of UD experience in a (Jeruiuu city of 17,000 population. This city had left, for treatment of civilians, one physician and one surgeon, all other medical men having been drawn into the army. "How do you manage to attend all the sick?" asked the traveler of the physician. "I simplify by paying no attention to people over fifty-live years of age," was the doctor's answer. Which is to say, that Germans past this age, being of no military use to the state, and of probably the least economic use, are automatically set aside, and In sickness take their own chances of recovery or death. This story was told to Dr. Alonzo Taylor of the United States food administration and department of agriculture. Doctor Taylor was attached to tlie United States embassy at Berlin during most of 1910. and under Ambassador Gerard had neutral inspections of German prison camps in charge. Herbert Hoover has said that Doctor Taylor's scientific knowledge of dietetics,' and his practical grasp of war food problems, is wider than that any other person he knows. The point of the story above is the different interpretations that may be put upon it. Regarded simply as another Interesting Insight into the de- | privation which is now believed to prevail in Germany, It would be taken by the average American newspaper reader as one more indication that Germany is desperately pressed for every necessity of life and that this internal situation must soon cause her to "crack." But Doctor Taylor looks at it In an entirely different way. Fifty-Five the Dead Line. "That story simply indicates how far the Germans are willing to go to win," he says. "If it is necessary to abandon all that part of the German population above fifty-five years of ige, they Intend to do it. They are willing to take other measures as coldly practical as that to pull through. So far as hunger, suffering, death, und toll are concerned, these cannot safely be regarded as factors in Germany's defeat. She has pulled through before, and will pull through again. The only way to defeat Germany, in my opinion, is by a straight military derision on the western front." Since the second year of the war, accounts of German food shortage have been staple reading in the American and English newspapers. These have been based upon German rationing regulations, articles in the German press dealing with food shortage, Information brought out of Germany by travelers, and other data. - The subject is one that has been carefully studied by trustworthy investigators In great detail. Much of the information obtained has undoubtedly been sound, yet Doctor Taylor regards most published accounts of German hunger as mischievous, if not as deliberate enemy propaganda. Largely through his Investigations the United States food administration has adopted the policy of discountenancing reports of German hunger. "The Germans are unquestionably on very short rations," he adds, "but [ know the German mind, the German state, the German press. The obedience of the German mind to the German state and the latter's control of the German press are so completethat even admitting German food shortage to be as grave as reports Indicate, all published Information on this subject comimT out of Germany is still artfully colored for military ends. That must never be lost sight of. Germany will unquestionably have a hard pinch in food this summer, but she is going to pull through again so far as food is concerned, and all plans based upon that as a factor In the military situation rest on an unsound basis. The Germans are suffering. No matter—in the winning of this war we cannot afford to give any thought whatever to their suffering from hunger—their submarines give none to the sufferings of our allies. When we ourselves entered the war a year ago, German food shortage was accepted as one of the apparent factors which would help us win. Twelve months' experience has brought an awakening to the American people. We now know that allien countries are hard pressed for luod. We have in our own country the reflex of the allies' food needs. Events last fall in Italy, and the past winter In Russia, make it cleurer than ever that this war is to be won by lighting alone (military, economic and Industrial), and that consideration of the German food situation and uther factors than the military one Is short-sighted, dungerous, and may lay the busis for prolongation of the war. "In another way France stands alone ! us a warring nation," says Doctor Taylor—" the imuiediateuesa and completeness of her mobilization for war from the first days of August, 1(J14." To make this clear, lie divides war preparations into three zones. The first zone is that of actual military mobilization, and operations Involving the raising of armies, the dispatch of fleets, and the making of war paraphernalia. The second zone is one entered by 1 a nation when it begins to divert Its i civilian industries to war industries, a J transformation tiutt is absolutely necessary in modern war, and which can only end when every industry has been reshaped to military purposes. The third zone is entered when a nation, having seen the necessity for militarization of industries, and met it, recognizes that even this is not sufficient, but that every man, woman and child outside the fighting force must put forth from 25 to 50 per cent more effort aud energy tha.n in peace times. The mechanic must produce that much more work, either by Intelligent speeding up or longer hours; the farmer must plant that much more, the* merchant must eliminate luxury articles in his stock and serve his customers with fewer clerks, and all classes of the population must save for war purposes, not merely money but materials, food, effort, recreation. France Knew W h a t to Do. It took England over a year to enter the second zone and a year more to enter the third. Italy required as long to enter the second zone. Russia only succeeded in partially entering the second zone—and that shortcoming, together with neglect of food management, probably did as much as German propaganda to undermine her military establishment. But France, who knew the Boche and had lived for more than a generation never losing sight for a day of the fact that ultimately she would have to resist him again, entered all three zones of war preparation on the day that Germany invaded. Her armies marched to the front. Her factories, railroads, and farms were Instantly turned over to war purposes. Her women took their men's places to carry on the work of producing military supplies, food, and other war necessities. Luxury and pleasure disappeared, to be replaced by industry, and industry itself was increased by concentrated effort. The United States has occupied efficiently the first zone of war preparation, and competent observers from abroad, who have seen other nations like our own mobilize, say that we are making satisfactory progress In entering the second zone, where Industries must be diverted from peace to war needs. We have not yet entered the third zone, and from the viewpoint of a long war, to be won by straight military decision, Involving the orderly carrying out of a program of vast magnitude, It is perhaps well that we have not yet pressed on Into this third zone of increased industry. For obviously, until the second zone has been entered and put In order to some extent, the Increased activity required by a nation that has entered the final zone of war preparation might cause confusion and wasted effort. Speed Up to Win. Wars are fought, won, and paid for out of increased production, coupled with savings. During the past year the American people have set a new record in their subscription to government loans. As a nation, however, we are still more or less under the Impression that money saving alone suffices. That is not enough. A man who in normal times would be Justified in buying three hats each year will in wartimes probably have to get along with two. The hat maker will manufacture the three hats just the same, but one of them will be sent to South America in exchange for rubber with which to make army truck tires, or nitrate to make high explosives. The whole basis of foreign trade is rearranged to give othe:- countries things which we can make that are unobtainable from the countries with which they formerly traded, so that we may import in return raw materials vitally necessary for war. The demands of the army* and navy for weapons, clothing, food, and every sort of supplies, coupled with destruction and shortage of wool, cotton, metals, chemicals, and other raw materials, necessitate a careful rearrangement of personal and Individual consumption and • speeding up of prod action. England has been most efficient tn working these transformations. And today all her production, distribution, and consumption are absolutely on the war basis. cai to IT National and Local Meat Business The meat business of the country is conducted by various agencies— By small slaughter-houses in villages— By local Abattoirs or small Packing Houses in towns— both Using only a part of the local live stock supply and Furnishing only a part of the local demand for meat. These slaughtering and distributing agencies fill a well defined but necessarily restricted place in the distribution of the products of live stock. But only packers like Swift & Company, organized on a national scale, are able to undertake the service that is more vitally important, involving An Obligation to the Producer To purchase for spot cash all the live stock the producer may send to market for slaughter. An Obligation to the Consumer To make available to every consumer, everywhere, in season and out, the full supply and variety of meat products, of the highest standard that the market affords.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday June 26,1918 No. 26 THE FOURTH IN PINCKNEY vr.i Knitting: Mrs. Emma Sykes and Mrs Mrs. Lizzie Curlett. Home Knitting: Miss Nellie Gardner Surgical dressings: Mrs. Villa Rich ards. Each committee, kindly take notice The program committee is in com IBunication with the authorities at g#lfridge Field and if any airplane is in this part of Michigan on the Fourth it will be ordered to Pinckney to give an exhibition. An airship with the new Liberty motor would be an attraction and the chances are bright for Pinckney to get one. Rev. S. A. Wittliff of Brighton baa appeared before audiences in Pinckney on different occasions and owing'to- his popularity here as a public speaker, the committee in charge decided to invite him to deliver the address at the Flag dedication. Fx. WittlifTs time is largely taken up by the Michigan Red Cross, and he is rated as one of the best Red Crose speakers working in this State. If all so called German-Americans —or "American-Americans", for that matter—were as intensely loyal to the Stars and Stripes and the nation they represent Germany would soon sue for peace. Dr. C. W. Pullinger, Captain of the 4Gti Canadian Battallion will be the afternoon speaker. ' j He saw active service in the trenches at the time the Canadian Army—many officers and men being American volunteers— made world wide fame for themselves as fighters in that terrible drive early in the war as they stood like a Btone wall before the Huns, although greatly outnumbered and their ranks more than decimated. During those bloody" days and sleepless nights Dr. Pullinger, who was chaplain of the battallion, forgot he was a parson and non-combatant, using a sworJ on the advancing Germans wjth bis brother officers. As the battle progressed the officers of the Battalion were nearly "all killed or wounded, and the fighting parson became the leader in the desperate cha:ge "over the top'' after the energy, who afterward retreated. After this battle his comrades asked that he might be their leader and he received his commission as their military captain. A Livingston county mar, who heard Captain Pullinger speak before a largv audience in Grand Ripids recently, said he was an exceptionally fine orator, holding the audience-now weeping, now laugling—under the spell of his Gather your forces together, give a "long pull, a strong pull and a pall together for victory."

S A. Wittliff of Brighton. Fr. Wittliff is a fine pulpit orator and has the ahitity to hold the attention of the audience. In his discourse he emphasized that the nation should always come first with all good citizens and admonished his hearers that during these trying times self must be forgotten if national success is attained. Those who heard the address are not backward in congratulating themselves in having another opportunity to hear Rev. Wittliff at the flag dedication exercises on the Fourth.

C1QRAND. (Authority on American Heraldry.) V THE question were asked, What Is the greatest sentence tn our national existence? the reply would likely be the one taken from the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths self-evident, that all men are created equal." That was the essence of an Ideal or a .principle, but to give that statement living truth the following words stand out as the power of the nation : "Saturday, June 14, 1777. Page 243. Records of the day: "Resolved—That the Flag of the Halted states be 18 stripes alternate red and white, that the Union be 13 stars white in a blue field representing a new constellation." Famous Committee in Charge. The committee having the flag problem In charge consisted of George Washington, Robert Morris and George Boas. It Is evident that the resolution, as originally penned by Charles Thornton, secretary of the continental congress, was not adopted, but that corrections were made. I have been unable to decipher just what the original reading matter Was. Curiously, Secretary Thomson did not cross a single one of the IT. * W which occur In the sentence. The "i's" are all dotted, and a single comma is the extent of the punctuation of this great word picture—oar flag. Strangely enough, he did not have the modern idea well to hand when he wrote the words United States, without capitalising the name, while Flag and Union are made Important Items In the line. The old German long dence, and the numerals IS are figures and not spelled out. Thus brief and without comment is the history we have of the edict which gave us "Old Glory." Honor for Fort Stanwlx. The first flag constructed as a military emblem, and carrying these hera> tftc ideals, appears to have been constructed In a rather unique manner. The first flag which was patterned after the resolution was adopted, and which saw actual fighting, must be credited to Fort Stanwlr of New York. ffews of those days traveled slowly, aadJirbile the resolution was adopted %jf 1&9 continental congress on Jane i i , 1777» the Improvised flag was not maM until the latter part of July, and . # * < * • second day of August, 1777, It ::; r stestsd orer the fort (Stanwlx, later W 9*tt *C*«rf«r). Amid loudest cheers s*•••>^-Ipf - •tstttara. selttee It was emWaa- ~&j&ji*4immj*9 to ***** * • •a*4 "1 1 "s" Is In evt* Hhcrtjr. But you ask: "What was there unique about Its construction?" Well, when the news came that the continental congress had finally decided upon a banner the fort was without a proper flag, and it was too late to depend upon congress to get one fashioned. Problem for the Garrison. Immediately the Ingenuity of the colonial or continental garrison arranged to Improvise a standard as decreed by congress. Henry B. Dawson of New York has left n description which had fallen Into his hands in 1807, and It came from one of the soldiers of that garrison, and though more than a century has elapsed the narrative Is ever new and deserves historic recognition. Through relatives of Mr. Dawson I am permitted to plve the exact version of how this earlier military flag of stars and stripes was constructed. The soldier who was among the flag producers was Col. Marlnus Willett, and his story Is in part supported by other members of the fort, as well as by a recently disclosed letter In England, in which the British soldier refers to a banner: "Over the Fort Stanwlx built by us In 1758 and named after the brave General Stanwlx, they (the continentals) hoisted a flag of white and red stripes and on a canton of azure there were white stars." How the Flag Was Made. "But what of its unique construction?" you ask. Well, the garrison decided to form the national standard, but being away from stores, clothshops or homes, and being hemmed in by the British, the task arose, how shall this emblem of unity be constructed? Here is where Colonel Wlllett's diary and narrative come to the surface with the facts, and read as follows: "The fort (Fort Stanwlx) had never been supplied with a flag. The necessity of having one had, upon the arrival of the enemy, taxed the invention of the garrison a little; and a decent one was soon contrived. The white stripes were cut out of an ammunition shirt; the blue out of the camlet cloak taken from the enemy at Peekskill, while the red stripes were made of different pieces of stuff procured from one and another of the garrison." Another witness of the garrison states In his letter home that "the blue ground for the stars was composed of a cloth cloak belonging to Capt Abraham Swsrtwout of Dutchess county." The captain, hence, wora the camlet cloak taken from the British at Peekskin battle. Victory Crowns Its Appearance. The first battle under the Improvised American flag was a great victory, and Col. Marlnus Willett was among those who In a hand-to-hand fight captured five of the English colors and brought them proudly to the fort These Brit* lah flags, according to his diary, were ran up on the fort flagpole, but the Impromptu American banner floated from the highest potntof the pole. rsiah. There were thousands in this Fort Stanwlx battle, and upward of 750 Americans held the fort against the daring British general, St. Leger, and his hosts of Indian allies. Jersey Man Is Mistaken. About 30 years ago a Mr. Haven read a paper before the New Jersey State Historical society, und In I4t he was reported as having read: "From additional reports In circulation here, the first time that our national flng was used after the enactment concerning It by congress was by Gen. George Washington, in the hurried and critical stand made by him on the banks of the Assanplnk, when he repulsed Cornwallls, January 2. 1777. As this conflict was the turning point, In connection with what succeeded at Princeton, of the struggle for Independence, does not this signal baptism of the Stars and Stripes, with the hope and confidence regenerated by It, seem providential?" This sounds good and reads equally well—but the cold, stubborn facts declare it absolutely wrong. The repelling of the British was, as he states, January 2, 1777; but our flag was not created or adopted by the continental congress until June 14, 1777,- five months later. Notable Honor for Lafayette. Of course, If you should object to consider the honors of the first victory under the American flag as belonging to the Improvised one at Fort Stanwlx, and should wish to know where the earliest military battle occurred under the governmental colors, not improvised or hastily made from Irregular mosaics, why that honor or glory would go to the Frenchman, General Lafayette, who commanded an American troop at the buttle of Birmingham meetinghouse, September 11, 1777. Upon that day 18.000 British and 11,- 000 Americans clashed, and brave, gallant Lafayette and his Immediate command were fighting under the national colors, the Stars and Stripes. New Flag Well Advertised. The Americans were slow to provide 'their regiments with the actual and exact flag as commanded by congress. Many troops retained their favorite banners, and It may not be generally known that the continental congress paid for newspaper advertising in which the colonists and the troops were notified of the new and adopted flag. So tardy were some of the^e regiments In producing the exact heraldic banner that even as late as the surrender of the British at Yorktown. the close of the revolution, there were standards over the American troops which contained seven white and six red stripes, while other banners had the 13 stars In various positions on the blue field, though the accepted form was to have the stars forming a circle. The American flag has undergone a number of slight changes, but In principle it has ever remained as the forefathers heraldically built It on June 14, 1777. Venerable American Flags. There are two American flags in existence which were carried in the Revolutionary war. One of them, preserved in the rooms of the Masonicgrand lodge at Raleigh. N. C, was carried by North Carolina troops at the battle of Guilford Courthouse in 1781, and the other, now in the statehouse at Annapolis, Md., was carried by Maryland troops in the battle of the Cowpens, January 17, 1781. The flag which Inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner" did not figure In the Revolutionary war, but in the War of 1812. It Is in the national museum at Washington Flag Ranks Above AM. The flag ranks the president of the United States, who under the Constitution i s the commander in chief of the armies and the navies. The sentinel whose duty it Is to guard, the flag on the color line maintained outside the military camp is for the time of duty the superior officer of the president The color-line private of the guard must order the president, if he proves forgetful, to uncover when he crosses the line where the flag, wrapped about it* staff, rests on Its two stacks of bayoneted rifles.

Make the lemonade in ^ th«r usual way, add a beaten egg and serye, well iced. not forgetting a pinch of salt to remove the flat taste of the egg. Koumis.—Koumls is another food drink which Is most wholesome. It was originally made in Arabia from mare's milk, but is commonly made by using cow's milk. It is most easily digested ; often a weak stomach which cannot digest any other food will retain koumls. To make 4t heat a quart of milk to 70 degrees or lukewarm add a third of a yeast cake dissolved in one and a half tablespooufuls of water, add two tablespoonfuls of sugar; place in bottles after mixing well and tie down the corks. Let stand ten hours in a warm place for the yeast to grow and cause fermentation, then place on ice to check it. Mint Cup.—Express the juice from five lemons, uslc? a glass squeezer; add the leaves from a dozen stalks of mint, one and a half cupfuls of sugnr or honey and a half cupful of water; cover and let stand 30 minutes. Just before serving pour into a pitcher over a large piece of ice nnd add three b/>t- 3es of chilled ginger ale. Put a sprig *f mint in each glass when serving. Pineapple Lemonade.—Make a syrup by boiling together one cupful of sugur and two cupfuls of water for ten min " utes; add the juice of throe lemons and a can of grated pineapple; cool strain and ndd a quart of ice water. Raspberry shrub makes a most delicious drink; add a tablespoonful of the shrub to a glass of ice water to serve it. Fruit beverages nre cooling nnd slightly stimulating; as there is no limit to the variety of combinations one may always have something different. Iced Tea.—To make tea that is palatable, prepare the tea, scalding the pot and pouring fresh boiled water over the leaves, using n tablespoonful to n pint of water; strain over Ice and chill. Serve as soon as cold enough with a bit of lemon, a cube of sugar nnd a sprig of mint. More women patients, three to one, are sent to hospitals than men, !n times of peace. This comes, in large degree, from the fact that women live indoors, and breathe dust-laden second- hand atmosphere. GOOD THINGS FOR EVERYBODY.

Spalding and lieutenant in the American avtatlon service, played the viollu at a tea given recently by Signora Diaz, wife of the Italian ambassador in Rome. He made an extraordinary success, causing an enthusiastic demonstration to Aeruilco by a distinguished audience. When asked why he risked his exceptional talent In the nviatlon service, where on accident might easily Incapacitate him for life, he replied: "Simply because it is not playing the violin that will win the war."—New York Times. Diamond Buyers In War Time. The war has increased the buying of diamonds and other precious stones more than 50 per cent over any year during the past 60, It was announced at the annual convention of, the Illinois Jewelers' association. Precious stones were bought during the last year by more persons than formerly bought high-grade wntches. It was) stated, and the sale of brooches, bracelets and pins made an unprecedented spurt. According to Col. John L. Shepherd of New York there 1s to be a bigger rush to invest in diamonds and precious stones during the next year. Place Carbons Horizontally. A group of European electricians decided, after experimenting, that better results were obtained by placing the carbons in arc lamps horizontally and one slightly above the other.

They are agitating for t h e standardization of women's dress a s a w a r m e a s u r e of equal importance with the conservation of food. Rumors of frocks all alike, cut by t h e millions and placed on the m a r k e t for t h e colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady, so t h a t they may become sisters in their a t t i r e -. a s well a s under their skins, comm e n t s a fashion authority, reach u s from time to time through t h e sections of the dajly press devoted to women's affairs. Sometimes the a r g u m e n t s a r e quite learned. T h e French revolutiou is freely quoted as being t h e event, finally responsible for t h e standardization of men's dress. T o be sure, o n e of t h e first things t h a t Napoleon did, w h e n h e reached t h e position of being able to set t h e fashion, w a s to m a k e men's clothes as gorgeous a n d as complex a s they had been before t h e abolition *t>f t h e Bourbons. But the effect did n o t last long. "Sans culottism" h a d t a k e n too firm a hold on ine_n's affections. They soon went back to t h a t dignified but ugly garment, the long trousers, and they have remained faithful to them ever slnCe. Stui tents of the history of costume cite this a s a n example, and teil u s — some hopefully, some regretfully—that the present Armageddon will do t h e s a m e for women. But then come others— students, too, but s t u d e n t s of t h e h u m a n n a t u r e back of the clothes, r a t h e r than of the clothes themselves —and they give a n emphatic No I to t h e whole proposition. " T h e standardization of women's dress h a s gone as far now a s it ever will," is their contention. Easy to Get Into. Very busy women—and what other kind is there at present—may make insistent demands for clothes t h a t a r e easy to get into. "Easily adjusted, m a d a m , " will sell more gowns this season than the catch phrase, "This is what they're wearing." Coats and suits a n d one-piece dresses will maintain their popularity; " s h i r t w a i s t s " t h a t launder like a man's shirt will refuse to be ousted. But there will a l w a y s be more variety in women's dress than there is In men's, and women as a whole will continue to be more preoccupied with the question ot wherewithal they shall be clothed. One reason for the continuance of variety in feminine attire, in spite of w a r s and rumors of wars, is t h e fact t h a t women as a whqle are rested by a change of occupation. So t h e business woman, on h e r return from her office, is cralte willing t o sit down to stocking darning, so that she m a y continue to wear ,*hfr> thread-bare hose in which her heart--delights; she sits u p late to run iribbons in her lingerie; she will wash out and iron h e r - o w n n e c k w e a r in order that s h e m a y m a k e her serge suit or frock more becoming by softening It with frills at t h e throat. Did anyone ever h e a r of t h e m a n w h o washed his own collars? H e will polish h i s own shoes—tradition says t h a t he will perform this operation more willingly a n d oftener t h a n a n y w o m a n ; he will brush h i s clothes—but t h e r e his sartorial measures of p r e p a r e d n e s s end. So h e is naturally restricted to a form of garment which is easily k e p t in order. Man's Insensibility to T e m p e r a t u r e . Another reason is t h e average m a n ' s absolute insensibility t o c h a n g e s In temperature—at l e a s t from t h e wornan^ s point of view. He, declares* t h a t there is a vast difference In w a r m t h between h i s winter-weight blue serge a n d h i s summer weight, b u t n o woman can see It. To h e r he is a myst e r y a s he goes to h i s office on a boiling August morning, clad completely in wool, with a high-starched collar round his neck a n d thick leather shoea on his feet. J u s t a s great a mystery is she to him in winter, with h e r georgette sleeves, thin stockings a n d paper-soled pumps. Probably it is six of one and half a dozen of the othur. But t h e r e is a n army of women w h o go clothed In cotton a n d linen from May to O c t o b e r ; w h o will pay extravagant laundry bills if they live in t h e c i t y ; who will travel with an electric Iron in their t r u n k s when they visit the c o u n t r y ; who will pay almost a n y price in time, money and convenience for t h e privilege of wearing thiu clothes throughout t h e dog days. T h e r e is a great army of them w h o still, in spite of w a r work, make their own s u m m e r frocks, by the aid of u tissue p a p e r p a t t e r n . There is another even larger group who solve s i x months' d r e s s m a k i n g problems by buying ginghams a n d muslins and hiring sthe services of a dressmaker "by t h e day." Are all these women going to b e bound down by standardization? Of course not. Summer Fabrics Fascinating. Besides t h e feminine failing of buying a thing, not because one needs it, but because it is cheap, to which t h e m a k e r s of s u m m e r fabrics h a v e always catered, t h e r e is t h e eternal fascination of t h e m a t e r i a l s themselves— their s y m p a t h e t i c surfaces, their freshness, their delicious color. This year we a r e more discreet., Brilliant tones a r e still to be seen, but the general feeling is one of moder-: ation in all things, even in color. Fabrics, too, a r e discreet. Very popular a r e net, foulard and organdie. 'One may be gay in foulard, It is true, but one is m o r e a p t to be nnvy blue or black or g r a y in it. Organdie is subtle in its color range, not striking, and t h e clothes t h a t we construct of it have an a t m o s p h e r e of "old-tlmeyness" far removed from anything so smashing, dashing, as t h e Russian ballet color combinations. In less expensive fabrics, which a r e among the few things t h a t r e m a i n within t h e reach of the woman of modest budget, there a r e the printed voiles, the evep-popular ginghams, a n d t h e season's revival, calico, or percale, to give it t h e n a m e under which it is sold in most places.

Here is n good old story that somebody has taken the trouble to dress up in khaki—or hospital blue: Sister"Anne was going the round of the ward in the big hospital for wounded soldiers, examining the medical charts over each bed and taking temperatures. Reaching the side of one hero, in whose mouth she had left the thermometer a minute ago, she was horrified to find, withdrawing it, that it registered 120, although only an hour ago the patient was normal. Swiftly she summoned the house doctor, but he, on arriving, was seriously perturbed, as there was nothing in the patient's condition to account for the sudden rise. "LooK- here," he said to the soldier, "have you dropped this thermometer or been fooling with it?" "No, sir. Only been stirring my tee with it!" Upset Her Balance. Like a rose petal on a zephyr she blew into the hosier's. "I'm looking for something nice for a young rann," she said shyly to the gallnnt behind the counter. "Why don't you look in the mirror?" nsked the hosier, and she was so flustered that he managed to get an order for four dozen raincoats that she didn't want, before she knew whfU she was doing.

One of the Motor Trucks Used to Gather Eggs and Transport Them to Market, MOTOR TRUCK TO TRANSPORT EGGS Producers Find Experiment So Satisfactory That They Will Extend Service. QUICK DELIVERY IS RESULT Fruits, Vegetables and Other Products in Season to Be Carried—Mer» chandise Is Hauled by Trucks on Return Trips. La*t year producers of eggs near Vlneland and Millvllle, New Jersey, had difficulties getting their eggs to dealers In New York City. This year, however, they travel direct by motor truck to the dealers' doors and arrive in less time and with less loss from breakage than in other seasons. This community of producers has found the results of their experiment of shipping eggs by motor truck so successful that-they are planning to extend their efforts to cover fruits and vegetables, poultry, and other products In season. — Eggs by Motor Truck- Following a season in which trans* portation troubles made shipments to New York City unsatisfactory the farmers sought assistance from the bureau of markets of the United jStates department, of agriculture, and specialists on motor-truck marketing made a survey of the- situation. This was followed by a group of producers agreeing to ship their eggs by motor track and to bring the cases to designated places along the route the truck was to cover. A large commercial motortruck company, operating a fleet of trucks between New York and Philadelphia, was Interested and agreed to make a detour on their trips to New York, to which.dty their trucks had often traveled without being'loaded, to take in Vineland and MtllvlUe. - Local farmers and merchants in these two towns agreed to give their hauling business from Philadelphia to the track company and thus insure a full load for the tracks alt the way from Philadelphia to New York. Capacity of Trucks. The trucks have a capacity of about' fire tons, and can take 200 crstes of eggs. On the first trip, only 160 cases ware ready at the roadside and the balance of the load was made up of crated glass from Vlneland and MiOrtUe, This first load want the 140 miles in the record time of 15 hoars with not an egg broken oa the way. TJM trade wait serosa on the ferry boat frssn tfea New Jersey shore, and the eggs were deUftrad on the sidewalks ta front ot tfce-srhriaeale toeeea. Otf the retina trip the track sensed Nsw geek osraet to City are offering a premium of from one-haif to one nnd one-hulf cents a dozen for engs shipped by motor truck from Vlneland and Millvllle, because the eggs arrive tn better condition nnd in quicker time than when shipped by rail. This premium alone more than covers the difference la cost of shipping by motor truck and by rail, and, In addition to the time saved, the motor-truck service is more dependable nnd gives better delivery. The eggs, as yet, are not pooled, but consist of Individual shipments to a number "f dealers. \ TRAIN FOR HARD WORK 11 4 * * » > ta New faik Is there a physical training class Jn your town? If not, this Is a good time to start one—a physical training class to harden the soft muscles of town and city men, so they can go to farms and do effective work during emergency needs for farm labor In their counties nnd communities. Kansas City started a "loyal physical fitness class" some weeks before the time for the wheat harvest. The idea spread all over the state. In many towns and cities similar classes were organized, and men made themselves fit for the hard work they were to undertake in the fields as volunteer harvest workers. The Kansas wheat crop couldn't have been harvested If thousands of patriotic men from the towns and cities had not volunteered to save this crop that will help feed the .fighters at the.front. And a great many of these men couldn't have work- „ ed as effectively, and some of J them would have been forced to drop out altogether, if they had not been prepared for the physical strain by preliminary training. Uncle Sam needs the help of every loyal American citizen. Either work or fight!

PINCKNEY DISPATCH •\*i <W OVER THE TOP 2* By An American Arthur Guy E Soldier Who Went Machine Gunner, Serving Copyrlfffct 1917, by Arthur Ouy Empey EMPEY WRITES AND STAGES A PLAY BEHIND THE LINES WITH GREAT SUCCESS. Synopsis,—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitanla, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Eiupey, 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 fixe 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. After exciting experiences on listening post detail and observation post duty, Empey is picked for patrol duty in No Man's Land and has narrow escape from death. CHAPTER XVI!I—Continued. —14— While they are talking; an old Jew lamed Ikey Cohensfein comes along, and Abe engages him for cashier. After engaging Ikey they meet an old Southern negro called Sambo, and upon the suggestion of Ikey he is en* gaged as porter. Then the three of them, arm in arm, leave to J a k e pos-~ -session of this wonderful palace which Abe has Just paid $6,000 for. (Curtain.) In the second a<:t the curtain rises on the interior of the Diamond Palace saloon, and the audience gets its first thock. The saloon looks like a pigpen, two tramps lying drunk on the floor, and the bartender in a dirty shirt with his sleeves rolled up, asleep . with his head on the bar. Enter Abe, Sambo and Ikey, and the fun commences. One of the characters In the second act was named Broadway Kate, and I had an awful job to break in one of the Tommies to act and talk" like a woman. Another character was Alkali Ike, an Arizona cowboy, who just before the close of the play comes Into the saloon and wrecks It with his revolver. We had eleven three-hour rehearsals before I thought It advisable to present the sketch to the public. The whole brigade wag crazy to witness the first performance. This performance was scheduled for Friday night and everyone was full of anticipation ; when bang! orders came through that the brigade would move at two that afternoon. Cursing and blinding was the order of things upon the receipt of this order, bat we moved. That night we reached the little village of S and again went~lnto rest billets. We were to be there two weeks. Our company immediately got busy and scoured the village for a suitable place In which to present our production. Then we received another shock. A rival company was already established In the village.. They called themselves T h e Bow Bells," and put on a sketch entitled, "Blighty— What Hopes?" They were the dlvisional concert party. We hoped they all would be soon in Blighty to give us a chance. This company charged an admission of a . franc per head, and that night our company went en masse to see their performance. It really was good. I had a sinking sensation when I thought of running my sketch in opposition to i t In one of their scenes they had a soubrette called Flossie. The soldier that took this part was clever and ! made a fine-appearing and chic girl. We immediately fell In love with her until two days after, while we were on a march, we passed Flossie with "her" sleeves rolled up and the sweat pouring from "her" face unloading shells from a motor lorry. As our section passed her I yelled out: "Hello, Flossie; Blighty—What Hopes?" Her reply made our love die out instantly. "Ah, go to h—11" This brought quite a laugh from the marching column directed at me, and I instantly made up my mind that our sketch should Immediately run in opposition to "Blighty—What Hopes?" When we returned to our billet from the march, Curley Wallace, my theatrical partner, came running over to me and said he had found a swanky place in which to produce our show. After taking off my equipment, and followed by the rest of the section, I went over to the building he had picked out. It was a monstrous barn with a platform at one end which would make an ideal stage. The section got right on the job, and before night had that place rigged out In apple-pie order. The next day was Sunday and after church parade we put all our time on a dress rehearsal, and It went fine. I made four or five large signs announcing that our company would open up that evening at the King George the Fifth theater, on the corner of Ammo street and Sandbag terrace. General admission was one-half franc. First ten rows In orchestra one franc, and boxes two francs. By" this time our printed programs had returned from London, and I further announced that on the night of the first performance a program would be given free of -charge to men holding tickets costing a franc or over. We bad an orchestra of seven men and seven different instruments. This orchestra .was excellent while they were not playing. The performance was scheduled to start at 8 p. m. At 5:15 there was a mob in front of our one entrance and it looked like a big night. We had two boxes each accommodating four people, aod these we Immediately sold o u t Then a brilliant idea came to Ikey Cohenstein. Why not use the rafters overhead, call them boxes, and charge two francs for a seat on them? The only difficulty was how were the men to reach these boxes, but to Ikey this was a mere detail. He got long ropes and tied one end around each rafter and then tied a lot of knots in the ropes. These ropes would take the place of stairways. We figured out that the rafters would seat about forty men and sold ML m&&$->83**. M**Z->.

When the tlcketholders for the boxes got a glimpse of the rafters and were Informed that they had to use the rope stairway, there was a howl of indignation, but we had their money and told them that if they did not like it they could write to the management later and their money would be refunded; but under these conditions they would not be allowed to witness the performance that night. " After a little grousing they accepted the situation with the promise that if the show was rotten they certainly would let us know about it during the performance. Everything went lovely and It was a howllag success, until Alkali Ike appeared on the scene with his revolver loaded with blank cartridges. Behind the bar on a shelf was a long line of bottles. Alkali Ike was s u p p o s e to start on the left of this line and break six of the bottles by firing at them with his revolver. Behind these bottles a piece of painted canvas was supposed to represent the back of the bar, at each shot from Alkali's pistol a man behind the scenes would hit one of the bottles with his entrenching tool handle and smash it, to give the impression that Alkali was a good shot? Alkali Ike started in and aimed at the right of the line of bottles instead of the left, and the poor boob behind the scenes started breaking the bottles on the left, and then the boxholders turned loose; but outside of this little fiasco the performance was a huge success, and we decided to run it for a week. New troops were constantly coming through, and for six performances we had the "S. R. O." sign suspended outside. a small cloth bag in which are ninety cardboard bquarea, each with a number printed thereon, from one to ninety. He raps on the table aud cries out: "Eyes down, my lucky lads." All noise ceases and every one la attention. The croupier places his hand In the bag and draws forth a numbered square and immediately calls out the number. The man who own* the card with that particular number on it, covers the square with a match. The one who covers the fifteen numbers on his card first shouts "House." The other backer immediately comes over to him and verifies the card by calling out the aumbers thereon to the man with the bag. As each uumber L» called be picks it out of the ones picked from the bag and says, "Right" If the count Is right he shouts, "House correct, pay the lucky gentleman, and sell him a card for the next school." The "lucky gentleman" generally buys one unless he has a miser trace In his veins. Then another collection Is made, a [ school formed, and they cdrry on with the game. The caller-out has many nicknames for the numbers such as "Kelly's Eye" for one, "Leg's Eleven" for eleven, "Cllckety-cllck" for sixty-six, or "Top of the house" meaning ninety. WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY NEED SWAMP-ROOT Thotuaada upon thousand* of women have kidney aod bladder trouble aod never suupect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing elee but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cauae the other organs to "bewuuie diseased. Pain in the back, headache, loas of ambition, nervoujmehjj, are often tunea symptom* of kidney trouble. Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmers' Swamp-Root, a physician's prescription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. Get a medium or large size bottle Immediately from any drug store. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

(TO BE CONTINUED ) GREAT BIRDS OF OTHER DAYS CHAPTER XIX. On His Own. Of course Tommy cannot always be producing plays under fire but while in rest billets he has numerous ofher ways of amusing himself. He is a great gambler, but never plays for large stakes. Generally, in each company, you wWl find a regular Canfleld. This man banks nearly all the games of chance and Is an undisputed authority on the rules of gambling. Whenever there is an argument among the Tommies about some uncertain point as to whether Houghton is entitled to Watkins' sixpence, the matter is taken to the recognized authority and his decision is final. The two most popular games are "Crown and Anchor" and "House." The paraphernalia used in "Crown and Anchor" consists of a piece of canvas two feet by three feet. This Is divided into six equal squares. In these squares are painted a club, diamond, heart, spade, crown, and an anchor, one device to a square. There are three dice used, each dice marked the same as the canvas. The banker sets up his gambling outfit In the corner of a billet and starts bally-hooing until a crowd of Tommies gathers around; then the game starts. The Tommies place bets on the squares, the crown or nnchor being played the most The banker then rolls his three dice and collects or pays out a s the case may be. If you play the crown and one shows up on the dice, you get even money, If two show trp, you receive two to one, and if three, three to one. If the crown does not appear and you have bet on It, you lose, and, so on. The percentage for the banker*Is large if every square is played, but If the crowd is partial to, say two squares, he has to trust to luck. The banker generally wins. The game of "House" Is very popular also. It takes two men to run i t This game consists of numerous squares of cardboard containing three rows of numbers, five numbers, to s row. The numbers run from one to ninety. Each card has a different combination. The French "estamlnets" tn the tillages ere open from eleven In the morning until one In the afternoon In accordance with army orders. After dinner the Tommies congregate at these places to drink French beer at a penny a glass end play "House," As soon as the estaminet is sufficiently crowded the proprietors of the "HouseH game get busy and, as they term i t "form a school." This consists o r going around and selling cards a t a franc each. If they hare ten in the school, the backers of the game deduct two franca for their trouble and the winner gets eight franca. Then the game starts. Bach buyer places his cart before him on the table, first breaking up mates** lato flftask pieces.. foe of the backers of the game baa Bones Discovered Prove That in th# Miocene Period They Were Truly of Enormous 8ize. In so far as birds are concerned, some of the oldest fossils, in the matter of time (Miocene), which have fallen into the hands of science, are (hose representing the great, flightless, fossil avian giants of Patagonia in South America. Xhey belong to the phororhacidae, It. \V. Shufeldt writes in the Scientific American. Judging from such parts of their fossil bones as huve been found, they were evidently great terrestrial birds of prey. Some of the species were small, but this is raude up for by the others; and in the case of one of them (brontornis) It had a thigh bone considerably larger and longer than thai of an ox. Of oil the remarkable flightless bird! \ of this group, however, was the giant phororhacos. It must have been over eight feet in height, with a skull bigger than that of a full grown horse, and much deeper from above down' ward. We know little or nothing oi these birds or what led to their ex* tlnction. With its great hooked beak and powerful claws of great size, phororhacos must have been a terro* to the animals upon which it preyed. Skulls and some other bones of thli bird have been discovered. The recent meeting of the three kings of the Scandinavian countries, so unexpected and so unusual, was practically n meeting In self-defense, forced on them by rhe precarious situation in which the war has .placed their countries, writes Maurice Francis Egan in the Yule Review. Sweden had prided herself on her militarism copied from the German system. Norway rolled on its const line, its shippin;;, its fislierieH niui the firm belief that It was practically independent of the world, with an assured future made by its own brains and Its natural resources. Denmark, never free from the fear of the German Colossus, believed that England and Russia might save her from extinction at the crucial moment; and the preponderance of American opinion at the various Hague conferences made her hope that the moral force of our opinion might prevent her national extinction. These hopes are gone. Denmark fed England, she exported certain products to Germany, she had made herself the foremost scientific agricultural nation of the world, she was the freest, she was working out the ideals of her national life without desiring to acquire territory or to ln« fringe on the rights of others; hut the moment the United States entered ttta war she and the other Scandiuavlan nations gave up hope of any protection or help, and they huve now determined to band together In an industrial, economic union. The world has deserted them and they have determined to do their best to become independent of the world. Lightning at Sea. When proper precautions are takes ships at sea are in no danger of being destroyed by lightning. Of all the dangers that beset the seaman, lightninj is the only one that he can guarc against with perfect thoroughness Permanent conductors, properly ar ranged, offer the most complete pro tection from the electric fluid. Before this fact was well under stood, lightning was a very frequen cause of damage to shipping. In 180? to 1815 no fewer than seventy vessel of the English navy were entirely crip pled by being struck. It was a no un common thing for vessels to be set oa fire so completely by lightning as to defy extinction, with the result thai those on board who were not killed bj the electric discharge In many instances probably lost their livei through being unable to let down tht boats before the fire reached them.

Well, I'm now back with the company a^ain. I have been for about two weeks now. I came back just aft- «er I wrote you the last time. While 1 was away the company was in the trenches but are <>ut now. I've Jbeen up near t'ie front a couple of times digging trenches and putting u^> barbed wire entanglements. This is supposed to be engineers work. The infantry «does it and they get the credit but it's got to be done so what's the difference. The weather here is grand. It is «eal warm and yesterday I saw some cherries nearly ripe. Poppies grow in the fields here. A greet many of the flowers thee grow in oar gardens grow wild here. Hu§ is about the prettiest country I*re ever seen. It reminds me m *t Pinckney a great deal on account of t h e hills. Yesterday I was in a church that has the steeple blown off and about all ,of the front Mown off. The people have in a front wall of tar paper and boards and still have mass in the church. PINCKNEY REMEMBERED Wilj of f o r m e r fresident s u r p r i s e s f r i e n d s . Carrie A.

Everything looks so peaceful and tranquil. You can go up within a mile of the front lines and the people are going on with their farming and °ther w^rk as if nothing were wrong. But every little while you can hear a big one burst that will bring you your senses. I am feeling fine. ' I believe I feel better than I have for years. I am as br.wn as an Indian. And I have lost that pala, peaked look 1 had a year ago. I get mighty lonesome at times, though and often wonder what you are -4oing at home. I was dreaming about you this afternoon, mother. I laid down for a little while and dozed off to sleep. You were talking to me and asking me about the army. When I woke up I thought I'd better write to you, Well dear parents | I'll close. Please write often and tell me all that is going on. Your loving son, P v t James R. Kennedy Co. A, 103 U. S. Inf. American E. F. via New York. ANOTHER vOUNlT PAPER For the third time, A.

After a abort 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'8 company is sent into the f&nt-Une trenches, where he takes bis first turn on the Are step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger, in *Jo Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back to rest billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. CHAPTER XIX—Continued. —15— The game is honest and quite enjjoyable, Sometimes you have fourteen [numbers on your card covered and lyou are waiting for the fifteenth to be called. In an Imploring voice you call out, "Come on, Watkins, chum, I'm sweating on 'Kelly's Eye.'" Watkins generally replies, "Well, ikeep out of a draft, you'll catch cold." Another game is "Pontoon," played I with cards; It is the same as our [••Bluck Jack." or "Twenty-one." j A card game called "Brag" Is also |popular. Using a casino deck, the dealer deals each player three cards. It is similar to our poker,- except for the fact that you only use three cards and cannot draw. The deck la_never shuffled until a man shows three of a kind or a "prile" as it is called. The value of the hands are, high card, a pair, a run, a flush or three of a kind jor "prile." The limit is generally a [penny, so it is hard to win a fortune. The next in popularity Is a card igame called "Nap." It is well named. 'Every time I played it I went to sleep. Whist and solo whist are played by the highbrows of the company. When the gamblers tire of all other igames they try "Banker and Broker." 1 spent a week tryipg to teach some of the Tommies how to play poker, but because I won thirty-flve francs they declared that they didn't "fawncy" the game. Tommy plays few card games; the ^general run never heard of poker, euchre, seven up, or pinochle. They have a game similar to pinochle called MItoyaI Bezique," but few know how to play It Generally there are two decks ot cards in a section, and In a ehort time I they ore so dog-eared and greasy, you I can hardly tell the ace of spades from the ace of hearts. The owners of these i decks sometimes condescend to lend them after much coaxing. So you see, Mr. Atkins has his fun mixed in with his hardships and, contrary to popular belief, the rank and ifiie of the British army in the trenches is one big happy family. Now in Virjginrk, at school, I was fed on old Mo Guffy's primary reffder, which gave me an opinion of an Englishman about 'equal to a 76 Minute Man's backed up by a Sinn Fetner's. But I found Tommy to be the best of mates and a gentleman through and through. He never thinks of knocking his officers. If one makes a costly mistake and Tommy pays with his blood, there is no general condemnation of the officer. He Is Just pitied. It is exactly the same as It was with the Light Brigade at Balaclava, to say nothing of Galllpoll, Neuve Chapelle and Loos, Personally I remember a little incident where twenty of us were sent on a trench raid, only two of us returning, but I will tell this story later on. I said it was a big happy family, and so it is, but as in all happy families, there are servants, so in the British army there are also servants, officers' servants, or "0. S." as they are termed. In the American army the common name for them is "dog robbers." From a controversy in the English papers, Winston Churchill made the statement, as far as I can remember, that the officers' servants in the British forces totaled nearly two hundred thousand. He claimed that this removed two hundred'thousand exceptionally good and well-trained fighters from the actual firing line, claiming that the officers, when selectipg a man for servant's duty, generally picked the man who had been out the longest and knew the ropes. But from my observation I find that a large percentage of the servants do go over the top, but behind the lines they very seldom engage in ('igging parties, fatigues, parades or drills. This work is as necessary as actually engaging In an attack, therefore I think it would be safe to say that the allround work of the two hundred thousand is about equal to fifty thousand men who are on straight military duties. In numerous instances, officers' servants hold the rank of lance-corporals and they assume the same duties and authority of a butler, the one stripe giving him precedence over the other servants. There are lots of amusing stories told of "O. S." One day one ot our majors west into the servants' billet and commenced "blinding" at them, saying that his horse had no straw and that he personally knew that straw had been Issued for this purpose. He called the lance-corporal to account The corporal answered, "Bllme me. air, the straw was issued, but there wasn't enough left over from the servants' beds; in fact, we had to use some, of the 'ay to 'elp oat, sir." * It is needless to say that the servants dispensed with their soft beds that particular night Nevertheless it is not the fault of the individual officer, it is just the survival of a quaint old English custom. You know an Englishman cannot be changed in a day. But the average English officer is a good sport. He" will sit on a fire step and listen respectfully to Private Jones' theory of the way the war should be conducted. . This war is gradually crumbling the once insurmountable wall of caste. You would be convinced of this if you could see King George go among his men on an inspecting tour under fire, or pause before a little wooden cross in some shell-tossed field with tes/s in his eyes as he reads the Inscription. And a little later perhaps bend over a wounded man on a stretcher, patting him on the head. More than once in a hospital I have seen a titled Red Cross nurse fetching and carrying for a wounded Boldler, perhaps the one who in civil life delivered the coal at her back door. Today she does not shrink from lighting his fag or even washing his grimy body. Tommy admires Albert of Belgium hecause he is not a pusher of men; he leads them. With him it's not a case of "take that trench," it is "come on and we will take it." It is amusing to notice the different characteristics of the Irish, Scotch and English soldiers. The Irish and Scotch are very impetuous, especially when it comes to bayonet fighting, while the Englishman, though a trifle slower, thoroughly does his bit; he is more methodical and has the grip of a bulldog on a captured position. He is slower to think; Hut is the reason why he -never knows when he Is licked. Twenty minutes before going over the top the English Tommy will sit on the fire step and thoroughly examine the mechanism of his rifle to see that it is in working order and will fire properly. After this examination he is satisfied and ready to meet the Boches. But the Irishman or Scotchman sits on the fire step, his rifle with bayonet fixed between his knees, the butt of which perhaps is sinking into the mud —the bolt couldn't be opened with a team of horses it is so rusty—but he spits on his sleeve and slowly polishes his bayonet; when this is done he also is ready to argue with Fritz. It is not ""necessary to mention the colonials (the Canadians,.Australians and New ZealandeiS), the whole world knows what they have done for England. The Australian ai<d New Zealander is termed the "Abtac," taking the name from the first letters of their official designation, Australian and New Zealand army corps. Tommy divides the German army into three classes according to their fighting abilities. They rank as follows: Prussians, Bavarians aad Saxons. When up against a Prussian regiment it is a case of keep your napper below the parapet and duck. A bangbang all the time and a war is on. The Bavarians are little better, but the Saxons are fairly good sports and are willing occasionally to behave as gen- Britlah Geological Photos. A committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science has been engaged for many years In forming a national collection of photographs Illustrating the geology of the British Isles. According to the last report the collection now includes opward of 5,600 pictures. More than a thousand of these were taken in Yorkshire. A collectiod-of the same, character has been made by the geological survey of Great Britain, which has recently published a list of Its Scottish pictures. Both the B. A. committee and the geological surrey offer prints and lantern slides for sale. The Toubridge Wells Natural History society offers prizes for photographs of scenery Illustrating geological features. —Scientific American. tlemen and take it easy, but yon cannot trust any of them over long. At one point of the line the trenches were about thirty-two yards apart This sounds horrible, but in fact it was easy, because neither aide could shell the enemy's front-line trench for fear shells vwould drop into their own. This eliminated artillery fire. In these trenches when up against the Prussians and Bavarians, Tommy had a hot time of it, but when the Saxons "took over".it was a picnic; they would yell across that they were Saxons and would not fire. Both aides would ait on the parapet and carry on a conversation. This generally consisted of Tommy telling them how much he loved the kaiser, while the Saxons informed Tommy that King George was a particular friend of theirs and hoped that be was doing nicely. When the Saxons were to be relieved? by Prussians or Bavarians, they would yell this Information across No Man's Land and Tommy would immediately tumble into his trench and keep his bead down. If an English regiment was to be relieved by the wild Irish, Tommy would tel] the Saxons, and immediately a volley of "Donner und Blitzens" could be heard and it was Fritz's turn to get a crick in his back from stooping, and the people in Berlin would close their windows. Usually when an Irishman takes over a trench, jusFbefore "stand down" In the morning, he sticks his rifle over the top, aimed in the direction of Berlin, and engages in what is known as the "mad minute." This consists of firing fifteen shots in a minute. He Is not aiming at anything in particular —just sends over each shot with a prayer, hoping that one of his strays will get some poor unsuspecting Frit* in the napper hundreds of yards behind the lines. It generally does; that's the reason the Boches hate the man from Erin's isle. The Saxons, though better than the Prussians and. Bavarians, have a nasty trait of treachery in their makeup. Empey, questioning a German prisoner, finds he's from New York. The interesting Interview is related in the next installment (TO BE CONTINUED.) - RED MAN'S GOOD QUALITIES At a' Race, and individually, the American Indian Has Proved Capable of Many Things. It is very worth while to give the Indian a square deal, lie has proved himself capable of great things. Two" presidents of Peru have been Indians.* One of Mexico's greatest presidents was an Indian, nnd Bolivia has had at least one great Indian president One expects them to excel in warfare. The Araucanian'Lantare was the great' est military chieftain South America has produced except San Martin, and we have had Qen. John A. Logan and Gen. Ell S. Parker. Numbers of our senators and congressmen have been proud of their Indian blood, and Thomas C. Moffett, who knows the red man well, says that "in the professional world today, on farms among leaders in .business affairs, the Indian, educated and Christianized, is taking his place; clever Indian lawyers are looking out for the interests of their tribes: capable Indian physicians are ministering toJXe needs of their own peoptej^-earnest Indian preachers and teachers are spreading among the reservations- the seed of the gospel message; aggressive Indian agricultural experts are teaching the younger generation how to improve land and crops; the new Indian is helping the forward-movement activities of his country."

On the wall in the president's office at the Hotel Sever-in, there hang three handsome framed personal letters addressed to the head of the Institution. "Received them all in one day," said A. Bennett Gates, "and they are so rare that I have had them framed, for I wish to preserve them. Such as these do not come often to the hotel man." The writer of each of the three framed letters was grateful for some courtesy or favor, or this or that, which-pleased him during his stay as a guest. None had a "kick" to register, which struck Mr. Gates as rather odd, since half the rime of a hotel manager Is occupied in hearing the complaints of someone who feels himself slighted in some particular.

Spent hemlock bark, which has been used chiefly for fuel, may soon be important In felt manufacture. Experiments have shown that this bark can be substituted for 80 per cent of the basic material, now chiefly rag stock, used in roofing felts. If the bark is used for the 200,000 tons of felt made in this country, annually, there will be a saving, it is thought, of about 11,000,000 a year. Cutieura Is So Soothing To itching, burning skins.

FRENCH CONTINUE NIBBLING ENEMY LINE NEAR MARNE HunQarimn Premier in 8peech~ Before Parliament Title Austrian Offensive Against Italy Wat a Costly Failure. London—Attacking' Austra-Hungarian lines on the Asiago plateau, Italians have wrested Monte D'Valbella from the enemy, capturing 800 prisoners and cannon, holding their new positions against repeated counter attacks. This sudden turn from the defensive to the offensive came as a surprise to the laymen of the Allied world, for it had been believed General Diaz, Italian commander, would be content to hold his lines In the mountains against a great, new offensive Intended by the Austrlans and Germans to take away the sting of the defeat of the Austrlans along the Piave two weeks ago. Nor was the Italian attack limited to the positions onjtfonte D'Valballa. Further east, on the left bank of the Branta river, they captured the night of Sasso Rosso, just north of the -village of Valstagna, These two actions while local In character, may explain the failure of Italians to pursue the Austrlans across the Piave when, on June 23 the enemy fled from the west bank with a haste that indicated something of demoralization. • General Diaz probably has expected the heaviest enemy blow to be launched along the mountain front, whloh Is the key to the whole Italian situation. In attacking there himself he has carried the fight to the foe, gained strong positions 0 at vital points and broken up preparations made by the enemy for an offensive in that quarter. French Continue Nibbling. -The French are continuing their "nibbling" tactics along the line running northward from the Marne. Friday they swept the Germans back from the environs of Villers-Cotterets forest, southwest of Soissons, and held by American troops in that sector. A long ridge between the villages of Mosley and Paesy-en-Valois was occupied and 265 prisoners were taken. Further north near St. Pierre Algle, the French positions we/e improved by a local attack. British Repulse Enemy Assault. The British have repulsed an enemy assault in the neighborhood of Merris, near where Germans were driven back e v t of Nleppe forest on Friday. The British official statement mentions heavy German artillery fire before Amiens, near Albert north of the Scarpa, near Arras, and in the region of Festubert, northwest of Lens. The official statement issued at Berlin says artillery firing has increased between the Yser and the Marne, which Includes virtually all of the active battle zone. Alligator Dinner.

The Effects of Opiates. TEAT INFANTS tie peculiarly susceptible to opium and i*s varfcwa yiepaiitams, all oi which are narcotics at well known. Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in tha functions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for aloohol or narootica in later life. Nervous dlsaaece. such aa intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narootica to keep children quit t in their infancy. The rale among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodyne*, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narootica to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried* and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it ia nothing leas than a crime to dose them willfully with narootica. Caetorla contains no narootica if it bears the signature of Cnaa. H.

The nselessness of the vermiform appendix, which is simply the stump of what was once an important and functioning branch of the alimentary canal, is well knowa. Recent operations in a London hospital seem to indicate that a large part of the lower main canal, the colon, can be dispensed with without harm. In these operations sections of the colon have been removed.

Correspondence Editor the Pinckney Dispatch, Dear Sir:- $17.62 was the amount contributed to the Michigan Hospital School by the people of Pinckney on Heart Day, which showed their heart interest in the crippled children of our state, and I thank the contributors one and ail. I want to especially thank Mr. Ingersoll for the use of his store for headquarters; the 16 girls who proved them selves efficient in the art of Heart vending; Miss Josephine Harris for the capable manner in which she conducted the sale,and the Dispatch for giving space gratiutously to familarize the general public with the objects of the Hospital School and ir\ advertizing the H e a r t Day SaK Yours for conservation of ohikihocd i,Mrs)Mable M. Hurvuui Publisher Dispatch: - One day last week two ladies were obliged to wait some hours in Pinckney while their auto was being repaired. After a visit to the ice cream parlors one of the ladies suggested that they walk over to the park and sit down for a while. Not being familiar with the sidewalk system, they did not find the crosswalk, so bravely trudged acjross the street through the sand ard dust to find there were no seats. Uncomplaining, they took the only alternative and t a t on the grass. The sight of two finely dressed ladies Bitting on the grass brings out the suggestion that as the trees in the park are now large enough to furnish considerable shade, lawn seats be provided for the benefit of citizens and strangers who come here during the summer and patronize the business places. Farmers also, v*ho frequently are obliged to wait in town before going home, would appreciate them. Other^places, some not as large as Pinckney, are better equipped than we are in this respect. We have a fine park—let us take advantage of it. TAXPAYER.

Theodore Roosevelt, has been cited in the United States Army orders for valor'in the Cantigny battle of May 27. The citation reads: " H e displayed the highest quality of courage and leadership, going forward to supervise personally t h e action of one of the companies of his battalion which attacked Cantigny, "The next day, although gassed with effects to his lungs and blindness to his eyes, Major Roosevelt gav« an inspiring example of devotion to duty, refusing to be sent t o a hospital and retaining command of the battalion, which was under heavy bombardment throughout the engagement." Prohibition Edited by M. E. S. The claim by the wets t h a t business would slacken after May 1st are refuted according to a dry organ who claim: Mr. Crowley, of Crowley, Milner & Company characterized such wet claims as ridiculous. Business for May and the first half of June had been better than in any previous period. Mr. Webber, head of the J. L. Hudson company, said the May .business broke the record. Other merchants made similar statements indicating that what was spent for liquor is now being spent for jood and clothing. Bills are beteg paid more promptly. Papa bring* home the shoes A school auxiliary of the Junior Red Cross has been organized in the Pinckney schools. The work of this organization will be closely related to that of the Senior organization. Supt. Doyle started the machinery of the organization working Wednesday at noon and by Thursday morning the organization was completed with l/'O per cent membership throughout the school. This speaks well for the patriotism of t h i students as well as the parents who furnished the necessary fun^s. It may be stated that the tenth grade was the first to £0 ove? the top followed in three minuted by the Juniors. Surely the sacrifice mad3 by the older member.- of families as they otTer up their all to the war god is not being unappreciated when an appeal to the boys and girls of our public schools brings such a whole nearted response in such a short time. When school opens next September and the actual work of the Junior Red Cro3S begins every boy and girl means to back up this response by a still greater, that of devoting all their spare time, money, and energy to assist in alleviating the suffering of our boys In France. NITE ON NEWBERRY His Friends Believe Ha Is t h e Man to Harmonize A l l Elements in t h e Republican Party. Paul II. Kint^, f'Nfva'ivo chairman ol tho Xewbeny Senatorial Committee, asked for an expression, has issued a statement for the press of Michigan as follows : "I have bt>en asked for a statement as to the position of our Committee, and am very glad, indeed, to make one, although an a matter of fact it had not occurred to me that one was necessary, "The fact that a few of our good friends in the Democratic party have met together and decided upon a candidate for United States Senator has not in any way disturbed the friends of Commander Newberry, who are so earnestly and successfully advocating his nomination, "This action has certainly aroused the spirit of the Republican party in the state. Many republicans do not J hesitate to express themselves as be- j lieving that the party In Michigan is '' able to select its candidate for Senator without outside suggestion. Moreover, the attention of everyone has now been called to the necessity of the selection at this time for this high office of the ablest man available. "It" is unquestionably the patriotic duty of every citizen to lend his effort to help bring -about the selection of such a man. That is why, I believe, the men of Michigan, irrespective of party in many instances, are rallying to the support of Truman H. Newberry. They know that he has the ability, the broad experience and the vision of the future and that hia integrity is beyond question. He is not only in the service himself, but his sons also, and in fact his entire family. He i? doing everything possible to help win the war. tie is devoting hi3 entire time and attention to his duties in the Third Naval District. His friends believe that he Is just the man to unite all elements in the Republican party, and that as Senator he would acceptably serve the people of the whole state. "We shall go steadily forward with our efforts In his behalf until the day of the primaries.

By C. H. GRAVE8, Farm Management Demonstrator, Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—It has been found through investigation over all parts of the state that the farmers who have made the greatest profits in their business have kept careful records and accounts and have used them as a means of studying the condition of their organization and working out ways of Improving it. On account of these findings, special efforts are being made in Michigan and elsewhere to have greater numbers of farmers keep farm books and use them 'to strengthen their management Not only does a farm record serve as a guide to better management, but It also furnishes a very convenient way to make out income tax reports, make up financial statements in order to secure loans, make out schedules of cost to present to commissions and figure up costs of production In order to meet buyers Intelligently—all of which are ways of meeting the business world on its own platform. Business Farmer Least Troubled. The fact that the country Is dependent on Its agriculture has been most forcefully brought home to us during the past year. Farmers are looked upon as business men, and are to be dealt with on business terms. The farmer who has In the past followed the development of the business world and adopted some form of accounts or records is the one who has the least trouble to bear at critical times. The Income tax reports have brought home to the farmers of the country the necessity for more and better records. Many farmers were unable to give a definite statement concerning their income for the past year. A recent decision of the United States Treasury Department No. 2665 amending the income tax decision No. 2153, states that "farmers who keep books according to some approved method of accounting which cleady shows the net income, and take annual Inventories, may, If the same method Is consistently followed from year to year, prepare their returns in accordance with the showing made by the books and inventories." This decision makes it possible for farmers to report their income directly from the yearly .summary as is provided for In account books put out through the county agents. Accounts Make Loans Easier. The farmer often finds It necessary to secure a short-time loan In order to carry on the regular farm business, or to make desired changes. The man who keeps systematic records of his business is much more likely to be given consideration by the bank than tho one who does not. The banks In many of the states are requiring such statements, which makes It quite necessary for the farmers doing business wKh them to keep records. Often farmers are refused credit by the banks because the banker has" no ready means to determine the standing of his patron, and the farmer Is refused credit for no other reason. The use of a farm financial statement would soon remedy this matter. During the period of the present year, many demands have been made on the farmers to furnish data on costs of production -by the federal food adcheaply as possible, that his profits may be larger. It Is equally good business for the fanner to know exactly what it has coat him (n previous years to produce the crop, and, know what the minimum pri^e Is that he can accept and still profit by producing the crop. The margin between the cost of production and the maximum price the manufacturer can pay will go to the man who shows the best business ability, and has facts upon which to base his dealings. A carefully kept, systematic farm record Is the most Important factor In carrying ont these suggestions to a profitable end. Although most of the points touched upon have been in relation to things of the business world off the farm, records can be of equal value to any farmer in connection with the management on the farm. .Many farmers realise that there Is opportunity for Improvement, but a lack of definite Information on their several lines of interest keeps them from making any* changes. At the present time, farmers all over the country are confronted with a shortage of farm labor. Opportunities far Saving Labor. In many sections of the country It Is a common custom to use large units ,pf horse labor per man, one man driving 'three and four horses on farm implements Instead of only two, thus saving the time of another man. Oth-, er sections of equally large fields and smooth ground are still using only the two-horse teams. Such Instances as these are entirely a matter of custom. It behooves every man to examine conditions on his farm to see if he Is of thuf custom-bound class. Many men have not come to realize this until they have kept a record of their labor throughout the year, and realise in a concrete way how much they might have saved on this one factor alone. The distribution and efficiency of farm labor Is closely interrelated with the systems of crop rotations. Each farmer can, by a little careful thonght and planning ahead, make his system of rotation such that It not only produces crops economically by making the best use of his labor, but it also furnishes the proper amount of nourishing roughage which can be fed profitably on the farm. When one stops to consider the many ways that farm records can be useful in bringing about better management, and thereby greater profit In farming, no one can afford not to use the few minutes required each day to keep a careful account of his farm business, and receive the benefit accorded by it. A simple set of farm records, such as have been worked out by the farm management demonstrator of the college to meet the peculiar needs of the farmers of the state, can be procured through the county agricultural agents, and any assistance needed to, get started will be given. Every farmer in the state has the opportunity of going ahead In the same manner as has been found to be the practice of the most successful.

BMtMTTll BLACK-HEART OF POTATOES Improper Shipping Precautions Cause Heavy Loss to Michigan Growers. East Lansing, Mich.—One of the frequent causes of loss to Michigan grow* ers of potatoes during the past winter and spring was the prevalence of black-heart In many carload lots of tubers. In two carloads shipped from Ludlngton to Toledo, for Instance, the loss was 86 per cent, while in another car shipped from Lansing to Toledo the damage was almost equally heavy. Most people are familiar with black* heart In advanced cases the tubert show hollow, black-bordered cavities In the center. Black-heart is produced when potatoes are heated to 90 degrees to 104 degrees F. for a few hours or stored at lower temperatures In piles deeper than 6 feet without ventilation from the sides or bottom. Temperatures of 90 degrees to 104 F. are not infrequent W. N. U., DETROIT, NO> 27-1918. TO CAMOUFLAGE A HOME Just a Few Simple Suggestions That May er May Not Be Exactly Followed. . Hang the erayon portrait of Aunt Anastasia over the bad place in the living room wall paper. Back the sideboard up against the place where the wainscoting was blistered during a chafing dish party given by your predecessors. By keeping the player-piano going you can easily ocercome the banging of the faulty radiator in the living room. | The temperature may be made agreeable by constant-exercise with wall weights, dumb bells and rowing machines. On heatless days you can thus fool your landlord and yourself at the same time. Place a large Japanese umbrella up against the ceiltng In the library where the radiator upstairs has leaked through. Where you have too many pictures, hang them one over tbe other, the picture of your relatives on the bottom and those of your wife's relatives on top.

DEBS ARRESTED AS FOE WAS INDICTED FOR THINGS H I SAID IN HIS CANTON SPEECH JUNE 1fl LA8T. $1,000 DEFENSE FUND RAISED Arrest Made On a Secret Indictment Returned By the Federal Grand Jury Saturday. : ^ " ^ > * * . ..^-- A-' ••/•'is,- %\ Cleveland—Eugene V. Deba, four times Socialist candidate for the presidency of the United States, was arrested here Sunday by United States Marshal Charles W. Lapp and Deputy Marshal Charles C. Boeohme, as he was about to deliver a Socialist address. The arrest was made on a federal warrant in connection with Debs' speech at the Socialist state convention in Canton, 0., June 16 last. The arrest was made on a secret indictment returned Saturday by the federal grand jury. It is understood the indictment contains 10 specific counts under section three of the espionage act, as amended by the passage of the sedition bill, May 16, last, which provides a penalty of 20 years In the penitentiary, and a fine of $10,000 and costs for each violation. Mr. Debs refused to make any statement regarding his arrest. Following the announcement of Mr. Debs' arrest a defense fund of more than $1,000 was raised by popular subscription before the meeting ended. "Mr. Debs was indicted not as a Socialist, but as a violator of the law of the United States because of things he said in his Canton speech," said Assistant Attorney Breitenstein. "The federal jury had presented to it for consideration during the past two weeks many other cases under the espionage act," said Assistant Attorney Kavanaugh. "Among the persona charged are not only Socialists, but many who are members of other political party affiliations. The government is not prosecuting these men because they are Socialists." COAL ALLOTTED NOT ENOUGH Prudden Urges Householders to Use Bituminous and Wood. Detroit.—Considerably less than one.half the state's domestic coal requirements will be taken care of by the 1,201,000 tons of anthracite allot, ted to Michigan, Fuel Administrator Prudden made known in a statement issued Sunday, In which he urged upon household consumers the necessity "of their using bituminous coal and wood wherever possible in order that others whose baseburner or hot air furnace equipment must have anthracite-will not be without fuel. Distribution of coal throughout the state, Mr. Prudden said, will be along lines fashioned after the United States fuel administration's zoning of the whole country. The effect of this will be to send the bulk of the anthracite where it is most needed. '• "Saginaw and Bay counties, for instance," he explained, "will be required to use their own supply of toft coal and wood to-a large extent, re. ceiving only such quantity of hard coal as Is actually needed for base burners and hot air furnaces. "Large cities, such as Detroit* Grand Rapids and Flint, will get a greater quantity of anthracite per capita than smaller places, because) of the preponderance of base burners In city homes/' SENATE PASSES ARMY BILL Numerous Amendments Makes It Necessary Per It to Go to Conference, Washington — Carrying appropriations of mora than $12,000,000,000 for the prosecution of the war and eon* ferring authority on the president to raise as large an army as may be necessary to insure final victory, the senate Jane 29 passed the army appropriation bill.

Dancer and Co. was founded. At the bottom of all the plans which were laid at that time were certain ideals of business^ administration, a certain sound faith in the principle that honesty was the best and only foundation upon which to buiid a successful retail business. Thirty-three years ago the average merchant was like a horse trader he got what he could sell We believed then as surely as we believe now, that there should be one price for all—and that a fair profit only should be expected on what we had to sell. Coupled and interwoven with this principle, we had in our hearts an unbounded faith in the future of Stockbridge and its people. We believed in them. We were convinced that they were highminded-intellegent people—who would know and appreciate the value of honest merchan disc, fair prices and good service. Upon this basis we decided to cast our lot with Stockbridge—to rise or fall with it and its people^" but to give up not one iota of the principles with which we started. T h a i our confidence has not been misplaced— and that our ideas of honest methods were ri^ht has been proven time and time again, For a business does not, a store does not grow and expand fear after year on wrong principles. However, we realize that without YOUR cooperation— without your hearty approval and si>pport-^ we could not have grown and prospered as we have. To you and your.faith in us is due the greater measure of our success. Realizing these things, in an effort to show our appreciation, we are going to celebrate this anniversary of ouropening. You, our good friends, are surely entitled to share in a celebration of this kind.

Share) (Miss Lena Kimtnel) of Three Rivers, Newberry and Preparedness . $ Truman H, Newberry is no new convert to Preparedness. He has preached it for twenty years,—he has practised what he preached. He stood for preparedness away back in 1896, when he helped organize the Michigan Naval Brigade. Aa Assistant Secretary of the Navy under Roosevelt he urged preparedness. Speaking in New Orleans In 1907, he said: "You can put It in the biggest type you have that we must have a bigger navy, and I hope such enlargement will come soon. It is for you people here to use your influence for more appropriations for the building of battleships and cruisers. There it no doubt that we shall need them and the sooner they are built the better." While Secretary of the Navy, Newberry contended for a Merchant Marine at a preparedness measure. "A latge number of merchant vessels will be required in the event cf a aerious war," he pleaded. He not only talked preparedness, but hs prepared. He put the Navy on a sure foundation. On our entry Into the war ft was the one branch of our national defense which wee prepared. He backs up his belief in preparedness by being in the service himself. His sons are in the service. His whole family is serving. i Newberry and Preparedness mean the same thing. Truman H. Newberry is prepared to give Michigan and the nation wonderfully able service in the United States Senate.

D u n m n & ' s B e r r y S w a m p n o w A H i s t o r i c a l S p o t . L a s t Tuesday was a day that will long be remembered in Pinnckney. Having heard that a s t r a n g e man had fcpen see south of town, Marshall Carr telephoned the State Prison that t h e escaped convict who is suspected of being a double murderer was located and to hurry re-enforcements to'the battle ground. • Shortly after noon a smoking auto belonging to the Jackson fire depa m e n t arrived, loaded to t h e gunwale with men and artillery of various descriptions and calibres. The p a r t y included a convict, probably brought along to guard the m a n : i u n t e r s from all danger. After buying an ice cream soda for t h e aforesaid convict, t h e full party, including Our Marshall proceeded to D u n n i n g ' a awarnp south of town where t h e desperado was supposed to be in biding. , . .. . . A council of war was lmmeJiately held an alleged Blood Hound w a s •consulted and it was decided that a prog r a m of watchful waiting waa in order Meanwhile, people fro.r. different c a r t a of t h e s t a t e began to arrive. Men from Munith, Stockbridge, t h e W a s h t e n a w sheriff, and others of g r e a t - e r or les3 importance from various towns' anfl cities, all armed t o t h e neck and aome primed with Ohio ammunition, w e r e soon on t h e ground. In t h e meanwhile t h e watchful waiti n g council was still in session. Various •opinions of w h a t was the beat w a y to p e r s u a d e t h e desperado t o come out .and go home were freely offered. No o n e seemed to think i t would be a good idea t o go into the swamp and find t h e m a n , however. T h e alleged Blood. Hound w a s persuaded t o go in, b u t a f t e r meeting a rabbitt face he returne e w i t h his tail not elevated. Irvin Kennedy happened along about r u n d o w n and suggested t h a t if they w a n t e d their m a n they had better go in a n d g e t him. This advice from a plain citizen t o seasoned man h u n t e r s was spurned as being/idiculous S o Irvin w e n t in alone and after a thoro u g h investigation of t h e interior came o u t and reported there was no m a n in JL'IB s w a m p . , , _ , , A b o u t this time the J a c k s o n officials decided t h a t , a s it was nearly dark they , h a d b e t t e r r e t u r n to Jackson.

' ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ' ^ 3 9 ^ - Boys and girls clubB for the raising of pigs, calves, potatoes, corn, beans and doing regular gardening and canning club work has been a very important work with boys and girls in certain counties in Michigan and other states. Livingston County h a s recently organized its first Boys and Girl clubs and others are in process of being organized under the supervision of t h e extension d e p a r t m e n t of the* Michigan Agricultural College, co-operating with t h e Livingston County F a r m Bureau. Boys and girls between the ages of ten and eighteen will be eligible t o join theae clubs. Each boy will purchase a pure bred heifer calf or a pig and care for it t o r a definite period, keeping a ord of feeds fed, and cost of iecd, or and other expen.-es. Arrangements have bl ; rn that the boys who wish to g e t club but are not able to their stock will be loan>\ ! the local hanks. The clubs pished a bulletin on t h e their1, stork ruui will Isold regis ings for the purpose of stirdy line of their respective work. These clubs hfive proven both popular and successful! not only in Michigan b u t in othor states as well. With the in'-reasi. ogcostof all foods as well as the added wages t h a t must be paid it is becoming more i\i)d more necessary thitt. onlv live stock of proven worth be raised. Tise nim of thif- flub work is not onlv to stimulate an ihb-re-i in this class of stock but to interest t h e boy in farm life, thereby keeping him on the farm. Calf and pig club work this year is a patriotic service and boys engaged in this work can feel thai, they a r e doing their bit to help their ciders who a r e carrying on the brunt of t h e battle " o v e r t h e r e " . The live stock interest of this country must not be a slacker, not only are these calf and pig clubs planring their part in the winning of the w a r but they are proving a source j of profit to the boys engaged in this work? The girls are also doing their bit by helping to cons -rve t h e food supply by canning fruits and vegetables They are doing this by t h e cold packing method which has proven to be especially valuable in the canning of vegetables, luach girl under fourteen wno j joins one of theae clubs is to can :;o jurs of fruit or vegetables. Kach girl over fourteen to can fifty jar.s. T h e work of of this Boys and' Girls club in order to be made successful and permanent must be undv r t h e supervision of an adult leader who gives advise and asrf, | sists the young club members in many ways. It also requires the support of the parents. Junior Extension work with boys and girls has its face turned toward t h e future. I t is looking ahead to t h a t era of reconstruction t n a t shall follow this struggle and which will sorely t r y every individual and every institution. It is attempting so to train these boys and girls t h a t they may work o u t here at home t h e principles of Democracy t h a t a r e being so dearly payed for by our boys and the boys of our allies. I wish to thank each and every girl who helped sell tha tags on t h e F o u r t h of July. T h e girls worked hard and gave to the P u t n a m yarn fund t h e g e o d - ly sum of $127. This fund is for knitted articles for our own home boys and yarn will be on hand Friday. Nellie E. Gardner, Chairman.

ASSERTS GERMAN RULERS FEAR THEIR OWN PEOPLE Says There is But One Issue {n This Werid War end the Settlement Must Be Final—"Blinded Ruler* of Prussia Hav» Roused Force* They Knew Little Of—Forces Which Once Roused Can Never Be Crushed to Earth." Mount Vernon, Va., July 4 . - I n bis Independence day address, which the world will recognize as an answer to Von Kuehlinann's recent speech in the reichstag. President Wilson declared that the Father of His Country and his associates spoke and acted, not for a class, but for a people and that it has been left for us to see to it that it shall be understood that they spoke and acted, not for a single people only, but for all munkind and were planning that men of every class should be free, and America a place to which men out of every nation might resort who wished to share with them the rights and privileges of free men. Referring to the present world struggle, the president said that the peoples of the world find themselves confronted by a selfish group of nations who speak no common purpose but only selfish ambitions of their own and by which none can profit but themselves and whose people are fuel in their hands. Text of Address. The text of the president's speech follows : "Gentlemen of the Diplorautlc Corps and My Fellow Citizens : I am happy to draw apart with you to this quiet place of old counsel in order to speak a littte of the meaning of this day of our nation's Independence. The place seems very still and remote. It is as serene and untouched by the hurry of the world'us It was in those great days long ago when General Washington was here and heir} leisurely conference with the men who were to be associated with him In the creation of a nation. From the gentle slopes they looked out upog the^ worhi and saw it Vhole, saw ii with the Hgnt of the future upon it, saw it with modern eyes that turned away from a "past which men of liberated spirits could no longer endure, it is for that reason that we cannot feel, even here, in the immediate presence of this sacred tomb, that this Is a place of death. It was a place of achievement. A great promise that was meant for all mankind was here given plan and reality. The associations by which we are here surrounded are the Inspiring associations of that noble death which is only a glorious consummation. From this green hillside we also ought to be able to see with comprehending eyes the world that lies about us and should conceive anew the purposes that must •et men free. Planned Universal Freedom. "It is significant—significant of their own character and purpose and of the influences they were setting afoot— that Washington and his associates, like the barons at Runnymede, spoke and acted, not for a class, but for a people. It has been left for us to see to It that It shall be understood that they spoke and acted, not for a single people only, but for all mankind. They were thinking, not of themselves and of the material interests which centered In the little groups of landholders and merchants and men of affairs with whom they were accustomed to a c t in Virginia and the colonies to the north and south of her, but of a people which wished to be done with classes and special Interests and the authority of men whom they had not themselves chosen to rule over them. They entertained no private purpose, desired no peculiar privilege. •They were consciously planning that men of every class should be free aad America a place to which men out of every nation might resort who wished to snare with them the rights sad prlvilefea of free men. And we take our cue from them—do we not? Wo intend wbat they intended. We bojro lav America believe our participation la this present war to be only the fruitage of what they planted. Our case daafera from theirs only in this, that It Is oar inestimable privilege to with man out of every nation alHnak* not only the liberties of Ajnorfca secure but too liberties of every ether people aa well.

This Is sumly a flttinf pi nee from which calmly to look ow upon our task, diar we ma,y fortify oui spirits for Its accomplishment. Ami this is the appropriate place from which to avow, alike to the friend* who look on and to the friends witli whom we have the happiness to be as soclated in action, the fuilh and pur pose with which we uct. Hun Rulers Fear Own People. "This, then, is our conception of the great struggle in which we are engaged. The plot is written plain upon every scene and every act of the supreme tragedy. On the one hand staud the peoples of the world—not only the peoples actually engaged, but many others also who suffer under mastery but cannot act; peoples of many races and in every part of the world—the people of stricken Russia still, among the rest, though they are for the moment unorganized and helpless. Opposed to them, masters of many armies, stand an isolated, friendless group of governments who speak no common purpose but only selfish ambitions of their own by which uone can profit but themselves, and whose peoples are fuel in their hands; governments which fear their people and yet are for the time their sovereign lords, making every choke for them and disposing of their lives and fortunes as they will, as well us of tiie lives and fortunes of every people who fall under their power — governments clothed with the strange trappings and the primitive authority of an age that is altogether alien and hostile to our own. The past and the present are in deadly grapple and the peoples of the world are being done to death between them. Settlement Must Be Final. "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision Is conceivable. These are the ends for which the associated peoples of the world are fighting and which must be conceded them before there cun be peace: 1. The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice disturb the peace of the world ; or, If it cannot be presently destroyed, at the least its reduction to virtual impotence. "2. The settlement of every question, whether of territory, of sovereignty, of economic arrangement, or of political relationship, upon the basis of the free acceptance of that settlement by the people immediately concerned, and not upon the basis of the material interest or ndvantage of any other nation or people which may desire a different settlement for the sake of its own exterior influence or mastery. "3. The coDsent of all nations to be governed in their conduct towards each other by the same principles of honor and of respect for the common law of civilized society that govern the individual citizens of all modern states in their relations with one another; to the end that all promises and covenants may be sacredly observed, no private plots or conspiracies hatched, no selfish injuries wrought with Impunity, and a mutual trust established upon the handsome foundation of a mutual respect for right. "4. The establishment of an organization of peace which shall make It certain that the combined power of free nations will check every invasion of right and Berve to make peace and justice the more secure by affording a definite tribunal of opinion to which all must submit and by which every International readjustment that cannot be amicably agreed upon by the peoples directly concerned shall be sanctioned. ~~ U. S. Can Never Be Crushed. "These great objects can be put into a single sentence. What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind. "These great ends cannot be achieved by debating and seeking to reconcile and accommodate what statesmen may wish, with their projects for balances of power and of national opportunity. They can be reached only by the determination of what the thinking people of the world desire with their longing hope for justice and for social freedom and opportunity. "I can fancy that the air of this place carries the accents of such principles with a prouder kindness. Hero where started forces which the great nation against which they'were primarily directed at Drat regarded aa a revclt against its authority bat which has long since seen to have been a step in the liberation of its own people as well as of the people of the .United 8tates—and I stand here now to speak, speak proudly and with confident hope—of the spread of this revolt, this liberation to the great state of the world itself. The blinded rulers of Prussia have aroused forces they knew little of—forces which, once aroaeed, can never bo crushed to earth again—for they have at their heart aa Inspiration sad a pari we which aro deathKas aad of the M.-j staff of t*V umpa."

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusltania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goet 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 Erupey'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 lejirns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot flre. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger lu No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back in rest billets Empey vrites and stages a successful play. CHAPTER XIX—Continued. —1ft— Ai one point of the line where the trenches were very close, a stake was driven Into the ground midway between the hostile lines. At night when It was his turn. Tommy would crawl to this stake and attach some London papers to It, while at the foot he would place tins of bully beef, fags, sweets, and other delicacies that he had received from Blighty in the ever lookedfor parcel. Later on Frits would come out and get these luxuries. The next night Tommy would go out to see what Frits put into his stocking. The donation generally consisted of a paper from Berlin, telling who was winning the war, some tinned sausages, cigars, and occasionally a little beer, but a funny thing, Tommy never returned with the beer unless it was inside of him. His platoon got a whiff of his breath one night and the offending Tommy lost his Job. One night a young English sergeant crawled to the stake and as he tried to detach the German paper a bomb exploded and mangled him horribly. Frltx had set a trap and gained another victim which was only one more black mark against him in the book of this war. From that time on diplomatic relations were severed. Returning to Tommy, I think his spirit Is best shown in the questions he asks. It is never "who is going to win" tut always "how long will It take?' CHAPTER XX. "Chats With Frltx." We were swimming In money, from fee receipts of our theatrical venture, and had forgotten all about the war, through that our To get even, we could have left the prisoners in the fire trench, in charge of the men on guard and let them click Fritz's strafeing but Tommy does not treat prisoners that way. Five of them were brought into my dugout and turned over to me so that they would be safe from the German flre. In the candlelight, they looked very much shaken, nerves gone and chalky faces, with the exception of one, a great big fellow. He looked very much at ease. I liked him from the start I got out the rum Jar and gave each a nip and passed around some fags, the old reliable Woodbines. The other prisoners looked their gratitude, but the big fellow said In English, "Thank you, sir, the rum Is excellent and I appreciate It, also your kindness." He told me his name was Carl Schmidt, of the Sixty-sixth Bavarian Light Infantry; that he had lived six years In New York (knew the city better than I did), had been to Coney Island and many of our ball games. He was a regular fan. I couldn't make him believe that Hans Wagner wasn't the best ball player in the world. From New York he had gone to London, where he worked as a waiter in f t * day * * * * » e sued, our captain pany and asked for volunteers to go to the Machine Gun school at S t Omar. I volunteered and was accepted. Sixteen men from our brigade left tor the course in machine gunnery. •Tikis course lasted two weeks and we rejoined our unit and were assigned to t i e brigade machine gun company. It Almost broke my heart to leave my company mates. The gun we used was the Vlckera, l i g h t .308, water cooled. I was still a member of the Suicide dub, having jumped from the frying pan into the lire. I was assigned to •action 1, gun No. 2, and the first time "in" took position in the front-line trench. During the day our gun would be dismounted on the flre step ready for {instant use. We shared a dugout with the Lewis gunners. At "stand to" we would mount our gun on the parapet and go on watch beside It until "stand down" in the morning. Then the gun would be dismounted and again placed tin readiness on the flre step. We did eight days In the front-line trench without anything unusual h a > ipentng outside of the ordinary trench 'routine. On the night that we were to -carry out" a bombing raid against the German Unas was pulled oft. This raidlag party consisted of sixty company men, sixteen bombers, and four Lewts (machine guns with their crews. The raid took the Bocae* by sarprise and was a complete ssccesa, the party bringing back twenty-one prisoners. Tne Germans urast have been awfnl- Dead Bodies Everywhere, the Hotel Russell. Just before the war he went home to Germany to see his parents, the war came and he was conscripted. He told me he was very sorry to hear that London was in ruins from the Zeppelin raids. I could not convince him otherwise, for hadn't he seen moving pictures in one of the German cities of S t Paul's cathedral in ruins. I changed the subject because he was so stubborn In his belief. It was j my Intention to try «nd pump him for Information as to the methods of. the German snipers, who had bean causing us trouble In the last few days. I broached the subject and be shut up like s dam. After a few minutes he very innocently said: "German snipers get paid lewarde for killing the B a f b W I eagerly asked, "What are t h e y r He answered!

With u smite lie replied : "Well, ypu see, if all the English generals w'ere killed, there would be no one left to make costly mistakes." I shut him up, lie was getting too fresh for a prisoner. After a while he winked at me and I winked back, then the escort curne to lake the prisoners to the rear. I shook hands and wished him "The beat of luck and a safe Journey to Blighty." I liked that prisoner, he was a fine fellow, had an iron Cross, too. I advised him to keep it out of sight, or some Tommy would be sending it home to his girl In Blighty aa a souvenir. One dark and rainy night while on guard we were looking over the top from the flre step of our front-line trench, when we heard a noise Immediately in front of our barbed wire. The sentry next to me challenged, "Halt, who comes there?" and brought his rifle to the aim. His challenge was answered in German. A captain in the next traverse dimbed upon the sandbagged parapet to Investigate—a brave but foolhardy deed—"Crack" went a bullet and he tumbled back into the trench with a hole through his stomach and died a few minutes later. A lance corporal in the next platoon was so enraged at the captain's death that he chucked a Mills bomb In the direction ! of the noise with the shouted warning to us: "Duck your nappers, my lnoky lads." A sharp dynamite report, a flare in front of us, and then silence. We" immediately sent up two star shells, and in their light could see two dark forms lying on the ground close to our wire. A sergeant and four stretcher-bearers went out In front and soon returned, carrying two Hrap bodies. Down In the dugout, In the flickering light of three candles, we saw that they were two German officers, one a captain and the other an "unterofflzier," a rank one grade higher than a sergeant general, but below the grade of lieutenant. The captain's face had been almost completely torn away by the bomb's explosion. The unterofflzier was alive, breathing with difficulty. In a few minutes he opened his eyes and blinked In the glare of the candles. The pair had evidently been drinking heavily, for the alcohol fumes were sickening and completely pervaded the dugout I turned away in disgust, hating to see a man cross the Great Divide fall of boose. One of our officers could speak German and he questioned the dying man. In a faint voice. Interrupted by frequent hiccoughs, the unterofflzler told his story. There had been a drinking bout among the officers in one of the German dugouts, the main beverage being champagne. With a drunken leer he Informed us that champagne was plentiful on their side and that it did not cost them anything either. About seven that night the conversation had turned to the "contemptible" English, and the captain had made a wager that he would hang his cap on the English barbed wire to show his contempt for the English sentries. The wnger was accepted. At eight o'clock the captain and he had crept out Into No Man's Land to carry out this wager. They had gotten about halfway across when the drink took elect sad the cantata fett asissn. After about two hears of tain attempts the outeroffeier bed nt tut succeeded la waking the captain, reminded him of his hat. and warned him that he would be the laughing stock of the officers1 mess if he did not accomplish his object, but the captain was trembling all over and Insisted on returning to the German lines. In the darkness they lost their bearings and crawled toward the English trenches. They reached the barbed wire and were suddenly challenged by our sentry. Being too drunk to realize BREEDING SHEEP FOR FUR that the chaliei.-gs was In English, fhe captain refused to crawl back. Finally tho unteruiluier convince*I his superior that they were In trout of ttie English wire. Iieallzlng this loo hue, the captalujlrew his revolver and with u muttered curse tired blindly toward our trench. Ills bullet no doubt killed our captain. Then the bomb came over and there he was, dying—and a good job too, we thought. The captain deudV Well, his men wouldn't weep at the news. Without giving us any further Information the unterottizier died. We searched the bodies for Identification disks but they had left everything behind batere siarr.us ou th«ir foolhardy errand. Next afternoon we buried them In our little cemetery apart from the graves of the Tommies. If you ever go Into that cemetery you will see two little wooden crosses In the corner of the cemetery «et away from the rest. They read: Captain German Army Died — 1919 Unknown R. I. P. Unteroffizier German Army Died —- 1916 Unknown R. I. P. Empey and his machine-gun company go "over the top" in a successful but costly attack on the German trenches. The story of this thrilling charge is told in the next Installment. (TO BE CONTINUED.) ADDING HORROR TO SITUATION Conversation as Reported by Boston "Humorist" Would Seem to About Approach the Limit.

MORE SILOS NEEDED Building of Them Would Better Insure Corn Crop, M. A. C. Says. MUCH FOREIGN CORN PLANTED Silos Will Save Such of This as Fails to Maturs—Cost Not Prohibitive. From Office of Publications. Michigan Agricultural College. East Lansing, Mich.—One of the surprising features of Michigan's wartime agriculture has been the rapidity and the success wiih which ihe Michigan farmer has anijusieo. himself to the changed conditions which have eouie in the wake of the war. On many farms tractors have to u certain extent replaced liurses. On others machinery iias been made to muke up for a la"k of men, and in still more numerous instances; boys, and even women, have been drafted into the working forces to help keep up production More remarkable than all these has been the effectiveness with which the state lias met the seed corn shortage- Owing to the extreme acuteness of the seed corn situation early in the year, the corn acreage Is still somewhat below normal, but without the 100,1)00 bushels brought In by the seed corn committee, and dealers who cooperated with it, It Is doubtful If more than 50 per cent of the customary acreage would have been seeded to this essential crop In 1918. In congratulating themselves on the apparent successful tiding over of this crisis, however, many growers have lost sight of the fact that new problems may have come In with the Imported corn. Every effort was put forth by the men who secured feed for Michigan to buy only early maturing varieties, but notwithstanding the care and caution exercised by these agents, that If a farmer keeps at least ten cows, then it Is gi>od business to build a alio. All rules have their exceptions, of course, and in this instance northern Michigan tills this bill. The upper peninsula is developing rapidly as a dairying and cattle raising country, but It is perhaps making its biggest strides In sheep husbandry. At the college experiment station, situated at Chatham, It has been found economical to use the silo not only for corn, but for peas, oats and clover as well. A yield of 10.6 tons of peas and oats to the acre, when placed In the silo at the Chatham station^ wiere found to provide a most excellent winter feed for sheep. The second crop of clover was also put into the silo. If there Is a question as to the wisdom of building a silo It would be wise to take up the matter with the department of animal husbandry at M. A. C. A letter addressed to the department at Its offices in East Lansing will bring the desired Information. Or possibly It may be more convenient to call iu your county agricultural agent. There Isn't much doubt In the mind of the average up-to-date fanner about the value of a silo where corn and live «to<k are the main factors in the busii. e>s—a silo In the right place is about a* effective a weapon as can be turned against *he kaiser. The biggest bogy to the man who has silos on his mind is that of cost. "Couldn't think of buiiojnj; now with prices where they are, many of these men say. There is no gainsaying the fact that prices aren't what they used to be—and neither are corn prices. Bushel for bushel corn car; buy more silo today than it could four years ago. The secret of this declaration is to be found In the relutive increase in prices. The price of corn has advanced faster thar. the price of the materials which go Into the construction of a alio. The price should not stand In the way of the man who needs a silo. Aa a general practice, also, bankers are usually willing to advance loans for jjJIo building, for such a move o the part of a farmer is construed as constructive effort—as an attempt, In other words, to Improve the earning power of the business. G. I. Christie of Indiana has summarized the points in favor of a silo in this wise: 1. The silo preserves the palatabil- Ity and succulence of the green corn plant for winter feeding. 2. It helps to make use of the entire corn plant. M. The silo Increases the live stock capacity of the farm. 4. Silage Is a summer feed when pastures are short. 5. Because of the small amount of ground space required by the silo, it is an economical means of storing forage. 6. The silo prevents waste of cornstalks, leaves and husks, which contain about two-fifths of the feeding' value of the corn plant. 7. The silo located near the fc m manger Is an assurance of having fe. f near at hand In stormy as well us fui^ weather. 8. The silo assists In reducing the cost of gains In fattening cattle and sheep. 9. Silage greatly Increases the milk flow during the winter season and decreases the cost of production. 10. There ure no stalks to bother in the manure when corn Is put into the silo. .Some highly helpful information on the subject of constructing silos can be obtained from the department of farm mechanics of M. A. C. A card mailed to the department will secure this for you. I' A CONCRETE SILO. The value of these lies in their permanency and the fact that the cost of construction is low, because much of the material necessary for building can be secured on the farm.' there is a likelihood that much of the crop may not mature fully—unless Michigan (and a good season ought to be about due) should be favored with unusually good corn weather. Where there is a silo on the farm It will be possible to obtain a maximum benefit from the crop. If a farmer without a silo is caught with a late maturing variety, the loss may be considerable. Under the circumstances the evident moral is "Build n silo." Michigan, as a whole, Is probably as liberally besprinkled with silos as any State la the Union. It has been the alk>, In fact, that has really made the growing'-of corn profitable In the central and middle northern counties, for until it was Introduced, corn was hardly a safe crop except in the southern tier of counties. But while silos have come to occupy a large place in Michigan husbandry, there is still much toots for more—though the warning £jBast be added that not every farm * aeeds a alia The formula "where you hare eat*'end cattle, build a silo," is a fairly sals one.

Community canning centers for the putting np of vegetables and fruits are being established in various Michigan cities and towns by the boys' and girls' club department of the Michigan Agricultural college. On July 1 five of these had been arranged for in Battle Creek, Lansing, Grosse Point Farms, Bloomfleld Hills and East Lansing, each in charge of a demonstrator. Individuals in the communities in which these canaing "plants" have been established, bring their products to the center to be bottled or canned as the case may be. Grocers have offered to buy all the products of these "preservatories." More of them will be set up In other towns, for with the output of the commercial canneries already contracted for by the government, the community centers must make up the difference necessary to meet the normal demands of the pub- He. Cities, towns and villages wishing to undertake this work are advised that they can secure assistance In organization and in the finding of demonstrators if they will communicate wit* the boys' and girls' club department of M.

BUTTERFLY'S GROWTH. "Butterflies come from caterpillars, don't theyJ Daddy?" asked Nancy one evening when Daddy came in to tell the children his usual good-night story. "Yes," Daddy answered. "Would you like to hear about the time in between —when they are growing?" h e asked. "We'd love to," said Nancy. " T h e r e are s o m e people," said Nick, "who hate caterpillars as they do snakes and are afraid of them. I'm not afraid of anything." "Neither am I," said Nancy. "T h a t ' s so," agreed Nick, with a show of bravery. "It's funny that you should have spoken of caterpillars a d snakes at the same time." said Daddy, "for there is something quite alike about them." "I know," said Nancy. "Why?" asked Daddy. "Because they both crawl," said Nancy proudly. "That Is really right, too," said Daddy, "but that was not what I was thinking about when I said they were alike." "Tell us what you were thinking, Daddy," said Nick. Daddy said that he would so both children were very quiet as Daddy commenced: "When snakes want to grow they have to shed their skins or there would be no room for them in which to grow. Now a caterpillar has to do -the same thing when it tries to grow. "After a caterpillar Is hatched from the egg it has soft skin over its little body, but over its heRd there Is firm skin so that while the soft skin can stretch the head covering will not. So a new skin forms under t h ' old one, Just as with a snake, to be all ready when the old one is thrown off. "But I must begin from the beginnlng, M said Daddy, "so I can tell you how the butterfly becomes a bntterfly. A butterfly lays an egg on a leaf. In a little while the egg becomes a caterpillar. And what do you suppose the caterpillar has for its very first meal?" Both the children shook their heads. "It eats some of the shell from which it came. It's n llttre like moving out of a house and before leaving It entirely eating It u p ! "Then the caterpillar begins to have meals of leaves. And now a new skin commences to grow under the old one, for like the snake, too, the more the caterpillar eats the more It grows. And that Is a little bit like boys and girls too!" Nick and Nancy laughed and Daddy continued: "The caterpillar's old skin comes open down Its hack, from its head, and it crawls and squirms until It is out of the old skin and is In n brand new suit! "Next the caterpillar takes a little r e st__f l S it is quite an effort for it to get a new suit. "But soon the caterpillar begins eating again—just as most of us will too—and then again It goes through the same thing with new skin growing underneath and the old one to be wriggled out of within a very short time. *s|?**l "And again the caterpillar goes through the very same thing. "Then the caterpillar becomes a chrysalis and soon a butterfly. Ah, how happy it Is then. To live in the w o r l d where there are flowers, to be beautiful, to .feel the sun, to taste of the honey of flowers, to h a v e wings with which to fly when one has been changing skins and crawling for such a very long time. "It's a happy nr'gj.C*-* day for the cat- WXw^P erplllar when it « E l t A „ o f M y becomes a beau- Honey" tlful butterfly. No longer will people call it a horrid caterpillar/ They will say, "Look at the beautiful butterfly V "And as the butterfly sips from the little flowers and enters right into the hearts of many of them, It whispers: " I've been a long time coming to yon, flower, but the hard crawling journey had a wonderful ending.' "And though the flower does not altogether understand; It partly does, for ft whispers: 'Bat all of ray honey a a d atp my sweetness, for yoa are my. ~ • totter*?

Brown of Wisconsin: Recently a man was arrested on a minor charge, and on the appointed day was haled Into court for trial. "Just a moment," remarked the Judge, Interrupting the preliminary proceedings. "Has the prisoner at the bar no counsel?" "No, sir," spoke up the prisoner, "I couldn't afford to employ a lawyer." "In that event the court will appoint counsel for you," returned the Judge, glancing at a grooup of budding lawyers who were seated in the courtroom. "There are Mr, Jones, Mr. Smith, Mr. Oreen and Mr. Brown, and also another fellow out in the corridor. Which do you prefer?" "If It's all the same to you, judge," was the startling rejoinder of the prisoner, "I will take the fellow that's ont in the corridor."—Philadelphia Evening Telegram.

TASK OF BUILDING VESSELS National Bureau of Standards Carrie* on a Wide Range of Scientific Investigation and Testing. By JAME8 H. COLLINS. (From the Committee on Public Information, Washington, D. C) When men first began to build airplanes they covered tbe framework with cotton sheeting and varnished this with beeswax, Just about as a boy takes almost any old newspaper that Is handy for making a kite. When men turned their attention seriously to the selection of the best cloth for airplanes they settled upoo linen. This was strong and gave a good fabric without much trouble in weaving. Moreover, airplanes were developed abroad, where linen is much more widely used than with us. Then came war, with its need for thousands of airplanes, and certain new demands upon airplane fabric, such as the greatly increased strength required In the acrobatic maneuvering with fighting planes, and the factor known as "tear resistance" made necessary by the contingency of bullet and shell splinter holes. Then we got into the war. The finest linen is grown in Ireland, ,but there is only about 100,000 pounds of It yearly. The next best flax fibers were grown in Belgium, where the industry has been practically wiped out by war. For airplane purposes Great Britain alone requires double the Linen production of Ireland. Query—With Uncle Sam proposing to make airplanes by the thousands and perhaps tens of thousands, where are we to get airplane cloth? Another airplane problem is that of wood for the framework, for which spruce has thus far been found the best material. But demands for straight grain spruce are so great in view of our airplane program, and so little of it passes the rigid requirements, that securing a sufficient supply Is very difficult. Only about 200 feet of wood are used in nn average airplane; but to get this 200 feet you must start by culling the spruce trees as they stand In the forest, and then culling the rough lumber after it has been cut, and culling the kiln-dried product, until finally after working over 5,000 feet of rough lumber you are lucky to have sufficient for a single airplane. Query—How can this part of the aircraft program be speeded up? Again, war requires that we build, equip, and man hundreds of ships. Ships are sailed by means of chronometers, which are clocks with mechanism built to watch fineness, highly accurate. Chronometers are not made in this country. In a limited way we have imported the parts from France, England and Belgium, and assembled a few bearing American names. But most of our chronometers were bought abroad, and war has made It practically impossible to get a sufficient supply. - Query—How are we going to sail our new ships? Some of the Problems. These are a few of the problems connected with fighting tools of which the public has heard less than about Ihe major details of war, such as cantonments, uniforms, rifles, machine guns, and heavy artillery. Each is a vital essential, however, and in every case Uncle Sam has taken steps to see that his fighters hare the best tools which can be supplied—something for its particular purpose which, starting wttfc tb€ best that the allies hare developed In three years of war, will wlsay that art a step further, giving fSfrovements characteristic of American invention and research. On jthe outskirts of Washington Uncle Sam maintains the national bureau of standards, which, in peace times, carries on a wide range of sdentiflc Investigation and testing. The national bureau of standards keeps the railrnatlonal standard meter and kilogram. It has scales capable of weighing the ten-millionth part of a gram, and a gram is about the fifth, part of a nickel In weight It also has testing machines capable of 10,000,000 pounds pressure. So that in this institBttim, 4Cricle Sam is equipped to measure tbe accuracy of watches* detecting variations of a fraction of a second in the minute* or crush a Urge steel bridge trass and accurately report upoo Us strength. In peace times this Institution serves, our industries in countless wars. M a y , however, most of its work ha* tea* centered on war problems. Hot «a ef these problems can be ssokea ot of them relate to the de»» te ea the heme treat ly, enough of them can be discussed to give people an Idea of how thoroughly and skillfully Uncle Sam la looking after war details in this special direction. The problem of airplane cloth was turned over to the bureau of standards and It's textile experts went to work. What makes u good airplane cloth? Most people would think of strength first of all, but this is not the chief factor—a fabric testing up to 80 pounds per square inch is quite satisfactory. Tau,tness is much wore lmportant--the fabric on an airplane must be stretched as tightly as the head of a drum, and stay that way. This property is secured partly by weaving and partly by "doping." After the fabric has been stretched on aircraft wings, It is doped up with preparations somewhat like collodion, which you have probably used for treating cuts. Then, for battle work, airplane wings must hold their tautness to the highest degree even though punctured by bullets or other missiles, and this Is where tear resistance comes In—despite the pressure of air upon the fabric It must be of such mechanical structure that a hole will not spread by tearing while in flight. The bureau of standards men set out to develop a satisfactory cotton airplane cloth. Cotton is more difficult to weave than linen, especially in the very tine counts needed for aircraft and not so widely made in this country us abroad. They changed the structure of the yarn, mercerized it, developed finer weaves, and by close teamwork between textile manufacturers, checking results by accurate tests and original specifications, iiave developed a cotton airplane cloth which is declared to be better than linen—and when the bureau of standards men say "better" they mean it in terms of measured factors of strength, tear resistance, and the doping quality which gives tautness. Incidentally, this American cotton airplane fabric, while being better, is not restricted by scarcity of raw material, and is considerably cheaper. Results have been secured chiefly by the construction of the yarn and by tension in weaving. Under a microscope a piece of this cloth shows no special novelty in weaving— it is a perfectly plain cotton cloth, but about as fine in count and mesh as has ever been woven tri this country. Dozens of samples of airplane cloth submitted by patriotic manufacturers anxious to help solve this problem show more ingenious developments in weaving, but are not found as suitable when submitted to the final measurement tests for tear resistance, tautness, etc. With the problem of aircraft woods most encouraging progress has also been made in finding possible substitutes for spruce in airplane frames, and mahogany, utilized for propellers. People often ask why wood is used so largely in the making of an airplane. This is easily man's most advanced mechanism. Yet in building it, man turns his back upon his own highly developed modern metals, with which he builds practically every other modern mechanism, and sets out for the forest with an ax on his shoulder. The answer is that, contrary to popular opinion, wood is much stronger than any metal for the particular requirements of the airplane—strength with lightness, and elasticity with the stiffness needed for the framework. True, mahogany has been found better than metal for airplane propellers, because' it stands rough usage, and at the tremendous speeds required, which would often burst a metal flywheel, is not subject to the distortions Involved with a metal propeller of the same weight—torsion of the propeller blades In flight of course would affect speed and perhaps mean disaster. Mahogany is the best Wfcod, because It is least affected by moisture. May Use Other Woods. Spruce for American airplanes has to be found in lengths up to 40 feet and Is rigidly Inspected for straight grain and sound growth. It has & high strength for Its weight, takes heavy impacts and shocks, and its resilience Is such that It bends without breaking or distortion as no metal will do. Careful investigations and tests point to the use ot at least one other wood for airplane frames, and perhaps two. Fir promises to be a good substitute, having higher specific strength than spruce, but somewhat heavier and not the equivalent in sustaining shocks. Cypress also seems to be promising at this stage of the experiments, and probably walnut or oak may be found satisfactory substitutes for mahogany in airplane propellers. The bureau also tests thousands of ship's clocks of which two types have been developed, one a timepiece of considerable accuracy and cost for locations where differences of one minute daily are a consideration, and the other a cheaper clock for the forecastle and other places, not much more expensive than an alarm dock. These are just a few of the war problems and tests now being handled by the bureau of standards, but they sheer what a peace-time government institution can contribute in the way of teamwork whan war becomes Uade •s<efcief industry* A Great Responsibility. ' I 'Jtuti responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children * is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to oounter^t, for a time at least, any injurious drug. It is well to observe that Oastoria is prepared today, as it has been for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake ? What are their responsibilities?^T?o whom are they answerable? i They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. £ Could each mother see the painstaking care with wUch^the^prescription for Fletcher's Oastoria is prepared: could they read the innumerable testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would ^offer^anlimitation.of, or.substitute for. the tried and true Fletcher's Castoria. fet Contents 15 TtaidDraol Children Cry^For 4 QooDROPS JECOTOE-8 PER CENT. .

Wounded Soldiers THE HIGHWAY TO SUCCESS Gregory Boy Now Rapidly Climbing H i s f r i e n d s h o p e a c h i e v e g r e a t n e s s w i l l Aspiring vocal students may well t a k e a lesson from the experience of Daniel Denton, the young tenor of t h e Boston English Opera company, who is alternating the tenor roles with Joseph Sheehan a t the Detroit opera house. As a youngster Mr. Denton showed much talent as a violinist and a t the age of 18 was considered one of A m e r i c a ' s most promising young violinists; in fact, wa.s talked of aa sharing honors with Albert Spaulding, who at that time was j u s t receiving recognition, when, while out in a sailboat, an accident broke his wrist. After the hor.f mt'ry.itd, in spite of long t r e a t m e n t , a slight siifi'iif-'HS reni'ur.ed in the writ't whieh made it t vidimt that Yi-'. future as a violinist was over. Not a very pleasant outlook for a boy whj had ueVoied more than Iu years of his life to this erne accomplishment, but instead of giving up he took inventory of his capabilities and discovered, or rather his teacher discovered, he had a tenor voice of unusual sweetness. Up to this time he ! ad newer studied a single r o t e vocally, but once he was convinced his teacher was right he worked day and night. He sang in churches, in q u a r t e t s and in concerts, No amount of work was too hard and criticism only acted as an incentive. Finally, after five years of study and work his opportunity came. T h e Boston English Opora company, during it's four m o n t h s ' run in Chicago, tried te.nor after tenor to alternate with J o e Sheehan, but the pace was too swift and one by one they were dropped. Hearing there was a vacancy, Mr. Denton applied for t h e position. He knew the task t h a t confronted him, but was game. He was accepted, and, aa is well known, made good. In telling of t h a t experience Mr. Denton s a y s : " N o one will ever realize the work I put in rehearsing all day and studying most of t^e night to learn a new role each week. Often I fell asleep on the car going home w i t h a score in my hands, but all's well t h a t ends well, and if continued hard work will bring success, they will find mo at the top of the heap some d a y .

Spraying will control insects and diseases which cause the yearly loss of more than 100,000,000 bushels to the potato crop. If spraying were not now practiced, the present enormous loss would be even greater, but sprays are not used as widely or as thoroughly as they should be. Proper spraying controls the Colorado potato beetle and late blight—the worst enemies of the potato—blister beetles, flea beetles, cutworms and oth- KEEP FARM RECORDS t O SHOW ACTIVITIES Cash Accounts, Properly Assembled, Are of Importance. Often Overlooked Projects Produce Nearly as Much Money as Obviously Important — Carefully Avoid Sudden Changes. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) When a record is kept of all the money taken in, and spent on the farm, at the close of the business year the cash accounts can be assembled under headings that will show exactly what branch of the farm activities produced the dollars and what each required in the way of cash expenditure to keep going. Some farmers are apt to Judge of the Importance of the various farm projects by the time it takes to put them through. To such, a complete cash record for a year, properly assembled, will be an eye-opener. Often seemingly unimportant things on the farm, such as the flock of poultry, produce nearly as much net cash as the obviously important. The year's cash summery helps the farmer to get a better perspective of these things. In using such records as an aid to future plans, hasty conclusions should not be drawn, nor should snap judgments be taken. The fact that the hogs or the corn crop brought in the most net money last year is no reason for assuming that all the activities of the farm henceforth should be devoted to the sole purpose of hog or corn raising. It may be that the keeping of cows was portly responsible for making the bogs so productive of net cash, or that the growing of wheat, clover, or other crops in rotation with corn made the latter crop much more profitable than It would have been If grown alone. Similar conditions will be met with on all farms, and therefore no sudden changes should be made on the basis of what a few accounts may show. On the other band, a single year's figures will occasionally indicate that IDLER MUST WORK OR FIGHT er caterpillars, leaf hoppers, aphlds or plant lice, early blight, and other foliage diseases. For most of the insects and for the diseases spraying with bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead Is recommended, but for leaf hoppers and plant lice contact sprays, such as nicotine sulphate and emulsions, are the best. For blight bordeaux mixture is an effective means of control. Other methods calculated to help protect ths crop are jarring and driving, crop rotation and clean cultural practices. something is radically wrong; will show where the net expenses of oa< farm enterprise is a great drain on th« net cash returns made by the others. All phases of such an enterprise should be carefully studied and unless the losses can be assigned tc some reason, such as a bad season, temporarily adverse market conditions, epidemics, or similar unusual conditions, it may often be dropped with profit. Comparison of the annual figure! year by year is nother source of profli from the use of accounts, since by such comparison a true perspective and insight Into the makeup of th« business is gained. •M i # i i I I * + + » m - n i i * 11*+4 CITIES MUST HELP (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)

The bureau of agriculture of the Lake Charles (Louisiana) chamber of commerce has suggested that all premiums given by state, county and other fairs this year be paid in War Savings stamps. A resolution expressing that proposal w c recently adopted by this bureau of agrlcilture and is being sent to all federal and state officials interested and to the proper represent" atives of fair associations in every part of the country. The idea is meeting with hearty approval to Jan. Every toafer put to work releases a man who may help on the farm. Farmers need hands. Soldiers must have food.

It most be told within about two weeks for whatever it will bring. A certain amount of beef is frozen for foreign shipment, but domestic markets demand fresh, chilled, unfrozen beet Swift & Company cannot increase prices by withholding meat, because it will not keep fresh and salable for more than a few days after it reaches the market. Swift & Company cannot tell at the time of purchasing cattle, what price fresh meat will bring when put on sale. If between purchase and sale, market conditions change, the price of meat must also change. The Pood Administration limits our profit to 9 per cent on capital invested in the meat departments. This is about 2 cents per dollar of sales. No profit is guaranteed, and the risk of loss is not eliminated As a matter of fact, meat is often sold at a loss because of the need of selling it before it spoils. Swift & Company, U.S. A.

Some were Inclined to forget the successful yields which good methods bring forth during average Michigan seasons and not Infrequently announce their Intention to grow spring grains in place of these much needed fallplanted grains. In certain cases where winter grains are not adapted or where seed beds cannot be prepared for planting, such a change may be advisable, but during these war days, we must have more wheut and more rye than ever before. To accomplish this the knowledge and practice of every erperienced wheat and rye grower is needed, nnd before any drop out of the ranks let us hope that they will consider the following points: 1. The past discouraging season was an abnormal one, the most severe recorded by the weather bureau. It Is not likely that another will come for many years. 2, The great majority of those who planted Rosen rye, Red Rock wheat and other hardy strains at a sufficiently early date, on well prepared seed beds, secured good yields during even the past season. 8. A half-century of wheat and rye growing has proved Michigan's fitness for these crops. Thirty years ago our acreage was nearly double what It is today. At present prices wheat and rye are again profitable. 4. Bread grains are needed to win the war. Our boys abroad win out because they are drilled to come back doubly hard after each reverse. Drill Red Rock wheat and Rosen rye In the same sntrit Good farmers like great generals lay their campaigns after a careful survey of the field, nature of the ground and af the weather, and of the number and strength of their enemies. They profit by the experience of others under like conditions. While conditions vary on every field it is nevertheless possible to arrange a composite plan of handling the rye and wheat crops which will mean success In Michigan in spite of weather conditions and insect dig-' eases. Wheat Campaign Plana; Variety.—Red Rock Is best. In the great majority of cases where It has been compared with other varieties on the farms in Michigan, Red Kock has proved to be the most resistant to winter injury and the highest yielder. As a milling wheat It- is of the highest quality grown in Michigan. Soil preparation,—Early plowing, thorough packing and frequent harrowing to secure a firm-worked seed bed mean half the battle of wheat growing. Fertilizer.—The use of 200 to 300 pounds of acid phosphate per acre applied at the time of drilling gives a marked increase. A good dressing of manure, disked or harrowed in after plowing and preparing the seed bed, and applied as a light top dressing in late fall or early winter, goes a long way toward preventing winter killing and greatly increases the fall crop. On add soils lime should be nsed not only for its effect on the wheat but particularly because it means good clover with the wheat Mulching.—A light top dressing with strawy manure or straw in late fall or early winter is advisable where winter killing la likely. Seed Treatment.—Thorough cleaning with a fanning mill removes light scabby kernels and most weed seeds. Formaldehyde treatment insures free* dom from smut Treatment is as follows: Use formalin or formaldehr/de solution at the rate of one pint for 26 bushels and other amounts in proportion. Put the fresh formalin, just as it comes from the druggist into a pint or quart hand sprayer (cost about 75 cents) and spray the grain which | has been spread out on the barn floor. Spray the grain as it Is shoveled over and over. Keep the sprayer dose to the grain sad the penetrating odorj of the formaldehyde win give no 41*» cjossfort. When. the right assoant of forssalsi has been applied, shovel the grain iato a heap and cover It for ex* actfy fonr heirs nad aw 1 anger, with b***v d t m or blankets. At the) of thjbi petted It ssssnfd tnen he Rsserhel infected sacks after a thorough airing. It should not be held in storage for many days. Planting Time.—Late planting is disastrous in Michigan. A great majority of failures during the past season was due largely to late planting in the fall. It la Important that both wheat and rye be planted early to secure a good top before winter sets in. In southern and central Michigan wheat should be planted before September 20. In north central and northern Michigau previous to September 10. Where Hessian fly outbreak has been noted, a few days later than these dates will help control the fly. Spring Clover Seedlings.—Seed with June clover or red and alsike clover mixture as soon as winter breaks. Early spring seedlngs give best results on all except light soils which are Inclined to blow. On these, April or May seedings give better results. Joint Worm.—Avoid planting wheat where extensive joint worm damage has been noted this season. Plant oats or barley next year instead, Rosen rye has changed our ideas in regard to the place of rye on Michigan farms. Owing to its high yield this variety has brought rye into areas where it. was not before grown. There is now an ample supply of this variety to plant the entire state, with a surplus to answer outside demands. These are coming not only from ad* joining states but from Washington, Georgia, Maryland. Virginia and South Carolina. In all these states recent trials with the Rosen have given marked results. On the soils not adapted i to wheat or where the joint worm has been noted, a great extension of the rye acreage is warranted. "Coming Through" With Ry«- Variety.—The cross-pollinated ryes should be eradicated. The variety known as "Rosen" is superior. Rye is like corn in that varieties in adjoining fields may mix through cross-pollination. Care must be taken not to plant Rosen rye near common rye. Unlike oats, wheat and barley, w;hlch are self-fertilized and will mix by -crossing, rye is open-pollinated and cross fertilizes to a great extent Soil Preparation.—Early plowing, thorough packing and frequent harrowing is the formula to secure a firm, well-worked seed bed. Clean corn land or bean land needs disking only. Rye responds to proper treatment but wiil do better on a poorly prepared seed bed than wheat. Fertilizer.—Acid phosphate at the rate of 200 pounds, and manure disked in after plowing or as a top dressing in late fall or early winter are best There Is a prevailing Idea that rye does not-need as much fertilizer as other crops, but try it and see bow well this so-called "poor land crop" responds to good feeding. Seed Treatment.—Fan thoroughly and discard seed badly Infected with ergot Time of Planting.—Early September plantings are recommended, though rye can be planted later than wheat with assurance of success. During a recent trip by the writer through St. Joseph, Branch and Calhoun counties, Rosen rye was visible in all these districts. The remarkable rapidity of the spread of this rye proves Its great worth. It was distributed from the plats of Plant Breeder F. A. Spragg of the Michigan Agricultural college In 1910 through the agency of the Michigan Crop Improvement association and county agents throughout the state, and -has become a standard crop in many counties. KEEN DEMAND FOR RAMS "Buy Early" Is T i p Being Given to Michigan Flockmasters. East Lansing, Mich.—In the light of thevexceptionally heavy demands made this season for Michigan rams, the word "buy early** Is being passed to shepherds and farm flock owners within, the state, "It is advisable now," according to Verne AH Freeman of the M. A. C. extension stiff, "to look up and buy or contract for a ram to use this fall. It is necessary to took into this matter early, because of the unusual demand which of late has developed for Michigan sires. Western floes: managers, who as a rale have seemed more keenly aware of the value of a good ram In breeding up a flock, are already purchasing and carrying out of the state many of the rams we will heed. "Under the circumstances, the man who waits until the last minute this season is liable to be out of lock, and of pocket The early buyers will also have lb* advantage of being able to secure the best animals. T h e first opportunity should be grasped to select and purchase strong, vigorous and purebred rams for- service this fall. If yon have all the good young ewes yon eaxr carry next year and plan to sell all yonr-hemhs, select rams of else, early nsatnrhsg and thickly fleshed over the ribs, feta and legs.

London.—-British airmen brought down 4,102 hostile machines during the year ending July 1, the British Press Bureau just announced. During the same period the British lost 1,186 planes. The bureau declared that British aerial superiority is continually growing and that the American output will give the Allies a "very great" advantage". "During the year ending July 1 British airmen on the west front destroyed 2,150 hostile airplanes and drove down 1,083 out of control," the statement said. "In the same period, naval aviators, co-operating, shot down 623. The total of ours missing was 1,186. "On the Italian frost, during the last quarter, the British destroyed 165 enemy planes and drove down 6 out of control; on the Salonika front, in the last half-year, we destroyed 21 and drove down 13; In Egypt and Palestine, from March to June, we destroyed 26 and drove down 16. "Records show that British air superiority is continuously progressive, wherefore It is safe to assume that when America's ontput is effective the Allies will have a very great advantage.** SIX KILLED AND MANY INJURED Ship Loaded With Motor Trucks and Qll Exploded In N.

The Hessians were purely mercenary soldiers, and had no love for the cause for which they were fighting. Their career as fighting men ended ;nddenly on a certain Christmas eve when Washington crossed the Delaware. As soldiers they were not a very great success, but the damage which they did to America did not end with their capture at Trenton. Unknowingly they introduced into this country the Hessian fly, which was destined to become our greatest wheat p e s t According to tradition, this fly, or rather the larvae of the fly, was brought to this country in the straw which the Hessian soldiers used for bedding for both man and animal. It found congenial conditions In America, multiplied enormously, and now infests practically all wheat producing regions. The annual loss due to its ravages must be far up in the millions, and there ts no present prospect of eradication. The Fly Lives Over Winter in the New Seed ing,of Wheat The fly itself is very small—scarcely a quarter of an inch in length, and as for looks—well, it looks like a fly. Eggs for the spring brood are laid early in the season. The small grub goes down to the base of the plant and lives on the plant tissues, and later on goes Into a cocoon or chrysalis form. Emerging from this it lays eggs again ou the fall-sown wheat, just as soon as the wheat gets above the surface of the ground. It is this second brood that is so destructive, and which forms the "flaxseed" form seen on infested wheat Seed Wheat Late, The time of emergence of this second brbod of egg-laying flies is fixed by nature. If the farmer can only foretell this, and delay seeding—the fly will ?o off looking for other pastures, and may even die without having found opportunity for laying Its eggs. But the Weather Is Against Late 8eedlng. Right here is where late seeding to control the fly is against the best farm practice. Winter may set in early and destroy the young plants. j «"» « true, no visitor will leave the Unless the wheat has made a good growth before the ground freezes exposition without his patriotic spirit up, its chance of surviving the winter is slim.

Starting os an exceedingly small and unconsequential exposition it has grown year by year uri£il today the Michigan State Fair is one of the five largest annual fairs conducted on the American continent. Despite the fact that the State oi Michigan has within its doors this great agricultural and industrial display, combined with the premier features of the amusement world, there are still many Wolverines unaware ol Its mission and who do not realize its importance. While the State Fair has been of unlimited aid to the industrial and agricultural life of Michigan in forme* years, this year its scope has been greatly Widened and It will become a gigantic war agency. The federal goveminent has taken the fair under it? consideration and is sending large exhibits manned by federal employes. Co-operation Solution of War. Solution of the present atrocious world's war lies In the co-operation of the American public and Co-operation has been the fundamental principle of the Michigan State Fair since 184J. This idea has been an underlying maxim through the history of the organization, but It has been especially fundamental since the reins of office were taken over by G. W, Dickinson, Secretary-Manager, five years ago, This year the great slogan of Co-operation will be in prominence more than ever before.

Copenhagen—Basing his statement upon interviews he has just had with former German Chancellor Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg and other prominent Germans, the Berlin correspondent of the Copenhagen Politiken says; "Germany expects to retrieve her colonies through battering Belgium, but she will not surrender Belgium unless free rule to her colonies also is granted." The Budapest newspaper Pester Lloyd publishes an interview with the German ambassador at Vienna in which the diplomat says the German army command desires only the "necessary eastern frontier corrections, with military and economic guarantees in the west, including such guar antees regarding Belgium." *r- &, .fv: r ^ •**;-" *rryv'y*c W^-#>^ &*>, • ' • - ^ *r\ i'•iS'jj jr.: 2^21¾ 10Z; I T S , - $ f ; ; # Germany t o Give Up Belgium.

The Reichstag has adjourned for the summer recess after voting the war credits demanded by the government Independent Socialists dissented and Polish Socialists refused to vote. Discussing Belgium, Chancellor von Heniing is quoted as follows: "What we precisely want, as expressed by us on February 24, is that, after the war. restored Belgium -shall, as a self-dependent state, not be subject to anybody as a vasaal and shall live with us in good friendly relations. 1 have held this point of view from ths beginning In regard to Belgium, and I still hold it today.

The next evening we were relieved 6y the —th brigade, and once agaJa returned to rest billets. Upon arriving at these billets we were given twentyfour hours in which to clean up. I had Just finished gettiDg the mud from my uniform when the orderly sergeant informed me that my name was in orders to leave, and that I was to report to the orderly room In the morning for orders, transportation and rations. I nearly had a fit, hustled about packing up, filling my pack with souvenirs such as shell heads, dud bombs, nose caps, shrapnel balls, and a Prussian guardsman's helmet In fact, before I turned In that night, I had everything ready to report at the orderly room at nine the next morning. I was the envy of the whole section, swanking around, telling of the good time I was going to have, the places I would visit, and the real, old English beer I Intended to guzzle. Sort of rubbed It Into them, because they all do It, and now that it was my turn, 1 took pains to get my own back. At nine I reported to the captain, receiving my travel order and pass. He asked me how much money I wanted to draw, I glibly answered, 'Three hundred francs, sir;" he just as glibly banded me one hundred. Reporting at brigade headquarters, with my pack weighing a ton, I waited, with forty others, for the adjutant to inspect us. After an hour's wait, he came out; must have been sore because he wasn't going with us. The quartermaster sergeant Issued us two days' rations, In a little white canvas ration bag, which we tied to our belts. Then two motor lorries came along and we piled In, laughing, joking, and In the best of spirits. We even loved the Germans, we were feeling so hanpy. Our journey to seven days' bliss in Blighty had commenced. The ride in the lorry lasted about two hours; by this time we were covered with fine, white dust from the road, but didn't mind, even if we were I lar morgue. Some were mangled hor nearly choking. At the railroad station at F we reported to an officer, who had a white band around his arm, which read "R. T. O." (Royal Transportation Officer). To us this officer was Santa Glaus. The sergeant in charge showed him our orders; he glanced through them and said: "Make yourselves comfortable on the platform and don't leave; the train is liable to be along in five minutes—or five hours." It'came in five hours, a string of eleven match boxes on big, high wheels, drawn by a dinky little engine with the "con." These -match boxes were cattle cars, on the sides of which was pointed the old familiar sign, "Hdmmea 40, Chevaux 8." The R. T. O. stuck us all into one ear. We didn't care; it was as good as a Pullman to us. Two days we spent ©a that train, bumping, stopping, Jerking ahead, and sometimes sliding back. At three stations we stepped long enough to make some tea, but wene unable to wash, so when we arrlTed at B ••• • •> where we were to embark for Blighty, we were aa black aa Tnrcos and, with oar unshaven faces, we looked like a lot of tmmpa. Though tired out, we were We had packed up, preparatory to detrainta* when t B . T . 0 . held ap his hand for aa to atop where wt were been received cancelling all leave. If you had been three hours earlier you would have gotten away. Just stay in that train, as it is going back. Rations will be issued to you for your return journey to your respective stations. Beastly rotten, I know." Then he left. A dead silence resulted. Then men started to curse, threw their rifles on the floor of the car; others said nothing, seemed to be stupefied, while some had the tears running down their cheeks. It was a bitter disappointment to all. How we blinded at the engineer of that train; it was all his fault (so we reasoned); why hadn't he speeded up a little or been on time, then we would have gotten off before the order arrived? Now it was no Blighty for us. That return journey was misery to us; I just can't describe i t When we got back to rest billets, we found that our brigade was In the trenches (another agreeable surprise) and that an attack was contemplated. Seventeen of the forty-one will never get another chance to go on leave; they were killed In the attack. Just think if that train had been on time, those seventeen would still be alive. I hate to tell you how I was kidded by the boys when I got back, but it was good and plenty. Our machine gun company took ov&t their part of the line at seven o'clock, the night after I returned from my near leave. At 8:30 the following morning three waves went over and captured the first and second German trenches. The machine gunners went over with the fourth wave to consolidate the captured line or "dig in," as Tommy calls it Crossing No Man's Land without clicking any casualties, we came to the German trench and mounted our guns on the parados of same. I never saw such a mess in my life —bunches of twisted barbed wire lying about, shell holes everywhere, trench all bashed in, parapets gone, and dead bodies, why, that ditch was full of them, theirs and ours. It was a regain our case this proved to be BOX The German artillery and machine guns had us taped (ranged) for fair; it was worth your life to expose yourself uu Instant Don't think for a minute that the Germans were the only sufferers; we were clicking casualties so fust that you needed an adding machine to keep track of them. Did you ever see one of the steam shovels at work on the Panama canal? Weil, it would look like a hen scratching alongside of a Tommy "digging in" while under fire. You couldn't see daylight through the clouds of dirt from his shovel. After losing three out of six men of our crew we managed to set up our machine gun. One of the legs of the tripod was resting on the chest of a half-buried body. When the gun was firing, it gave the Impression that the body was breathing. This was caused by the excessive vibration. Three or four feet down the trench, about three feet frojo the ground, a foot was protruding from the earth. We knew It was a German by the black leather boot One of our crew used that foot to hang extra bandoliers of ammunition on. This man always was a handy fellow; made use of little points that the ordinary person would overlook. The Germans made three counterattacks, which we repulsed, but not without heavy loss on our side. They also suffered severely from our shell and machine-gun fire. The ground was spotted with their dead and dying. The next day things were somewhat quieter, but not quiet enough to bury the dead. We lived, ate and slept In that trench with the unburied dead for six days. It was awful to watch their faces become swollen and discolored. Towards the last the stench was fierce. What got on my nerves the most was that foot sticking out of the dirt. It seemed to me, at night, in the moonlight, to be trying to twist around. Several times this impression was so strong that I went to it and grasped it in both hands, to see If I could feel a movement. I told this to the man who had used It for a hatrack just before I lay down for a little _nap, as things were quiet, and I needed a rest pretty badly. When I woke up the foot was gone. He had cut It off with our chain saw out of the spare parts' box, and had plastered the stump over with mud. During the next two -or three days, before we were relieved, I missed that foot dreadfully; seemed as if I had suddenly lost a chum. I think the worst thing of all was to watch the rats, at night, and sometimes in the day, run over and play about among the dead. Near our gun, right across the parapet, could be seen the body of a German lieutenant, the head and arms of which were hanging Into our trench. The man who had cut off the foot used to sit and carry on a one-sided conversation with this officer, used to argue and point out why Germany was in the wrong. During all of this monologue I never heard him say anything out of the way—anything that would have hurt the officer's feelings had he been alive. He was square all right; wouldn't even take advantage of a dead man in an argument To civilians this must seem dreadful, but out here one gets so used to awful sights that it makes no impression. In passing a butcher shop you are not shocked by seeing a dead turkey hanging from a hook. Well, in France, a dead body la looked spoa from the same angle. But, nevertheless, when our six days were up, we were tickled to death to be relieved. Our machine gun company lost seventeen killed and thirty-one wounded in that little local uffalr of "straightening the line," while the other companies clicked it worse than we did. After the attack we went Into reserve billets for six days, and on the seventh once again we were In rest bit let*. Success Has Followed All Their Efforts. CHAPTER XXII. Punishments and Machine-Qun Stunt* Soon after my urriva.1 In France; la fact, from my enlistment, I had found that in the British army discipline Is very strict. One has to be very careful In order to stay on the narrow path of government virtue. There are about seven million ways of breaking the king's regulations; to keep one you have to break another. The worst punishment is death by a firing squad, or "up against the wall," as Tommy calls it. This Is for desertion, cowardice, mutiny, giving information to the enemy, looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing a safeguard, striking a superior, etc. Then comes the punishment of sixtyfour days in the front-line trench without relief. During this time you have to engage in all raids, working parties in No Man's I,and, and every hazardous undertaking that comes along. If you live through the sixty-four days you are indeed lucky. Empey and his comrades make the deadly machine guns perform all kinds of tricks to the discomfiture of Fritz. The next installment tells how the German gunners are fooled. (TO BE CONTINUED.) IRON FOUNDRY IN WAR AREA How Women of France Are "Doing Their Bit" to Keep the Wheels of Industry Moving. An interesting narration of operation under unique and difficult conditions of an iron foundry in the war area Is given by the correspondent ol a British paper writing from the firing line in France. He relates: One doei not see much foundry work out here, but a few weeks ago I was billeted It I a town near by, and actually saw a cupola in full blast I at once got permission to have a look around, and was greatly surprised at what I saw. The foundry was a very primitive affair— just a little jobbing nhop—and was mostly run by French women and girls, superintended by a few mea These women were making work up tc three or four hundred pounds in weight, and in a little side shop somi half dosen women were making component parts of machinery by thi simple method of bedding-ln.

One dead German was lying on his back, with a rifle sticking straight up in the air, the bayonet of which was burled to the hilt in his chest Across his feet lay a dead English soldier with a bullet bole in bis forehead. This Tommy must have been killed Just as he ran his bayonet through the German, Rifles and equipment were scattered about, and occasionally a steel helmet could be seen sticking out of the mud. At one point just in the entrance to a communication trench, was a stretcher. On this stretcher a German was lying with a white bandage around his knee,, near to him lay one of the stretcher-bearers, the red cross on his arm covered with mud and his helmet filled with blood and brain*. Close by, sitting up against the wall of the trench, with head resting on his chest, was the other stretcher-bearer. He seemed to he alive, the. posture was so natural and easy; but when I get closer I could see a largo. Jagged hole in his temple. The throe must hare been killed by the same shell-burst The dugouts were all smashed In and Knocked about big square-cut timbers splintered Into bits, walls caved la and entrances choked.

"The thistle of Scotland Is said to be the oldest national flower, and tradition traces its adoption to the reign of Alexander m and the battle of Larga" (when an attacking Dane stepped upon a thistle and Involuntarily gave the alarm, whereupon the Scots drove the Invaders out). "Another account of its adoption Is of a very different character," writes {Catherine M. Seals in Flower Lore and Legend. "About the middle of the fifteenth century a company of sternfaced men met in the council chamber of Edinburgh, and the occasion of that meeting was to discuss the advisability of substituting the thistle for the figure of St Andrew on the national banner. The proceedings of the council were secret but soon after the thistle appeared upon every Scottish banner. The national motto might have been adopted with appropriate' ness On either of these occasions: •Nemo me lmpune laeeestt' The poltte reading of this It, 'No man attacks me without being punished,' but the more simple translation of earlier days was, Touch me who daresP while the original la supposed to hare been, *Wna dare meddle wf ssef Another inscription which somethaea accompanies the Scottish emblem reads: *Ce que D4eu garde, est Mea garde;* That whidi God guards is well guarded.' T h e thistle appeared osndaJly lot the first time during the reign *f Jaaus O, who bad it placed em coinage of the kingdom and adopted It as his own badge. It also appeared upon the coins in the reigns of James IV, Mary Stuart, James V and James VI. The thistle merke was a silver shilling. The thistle dollar was a double merke. Each took Its name from the emblem on it." Cavite Flashes Time Over Paeiflo. Since October 1 the radio station at Cavite, co-operating with the Philippine bureau of posts and the Manila observatory, has been sending the time signals of the 120th meridian east of Greenwich nt 11 n. m.'and 10 p. m. every day, says Science, For the' purpose „«f sending time sls> nals, the transmitting clock of the Manila observatory is connected with the Cavite wireless station through the bureau of posts. Manila observatory time signals begin at 10:55 a. m. and 9:55 p. m., standard time of the 120th meridian east of Greenwich, and continue for five minutes. During this Interval every tick of the clock Is transmitted. except the 28th, 29th, 04th 55th, 56th, 57th, 58th and 59th of each minute. The situation of Manila In the Pa* cine makes this service of the greatest importance to the mercantile and naval fleets that »4* upon that ocean. On the train from Edmonton to Winnipeg the writer took a seat beside a soldier who had returned from the front. On his breast he wore the beautiful distinguished service medal. One coat sleeve was armless, and on his left cheek he bore a scar that he would carry to his grave. He had served his country faithfully and well. At the first call for soldiers In August, 1914, he hustened to the recruiting office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with its crop ready for harvest, a full equipment of farm implements, plenty of horses, and a wife. The wife should not be last on the list for she proved the master of the situation, and loyally took hold of the question of production, while her husband was on his way to fight the Hun. And she succeeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and again In 1916, and when her husband returned in 1917 she was able to show some contemplated farm buildings completed, the Indebtedness of the farm paid off, a considerable addition to the stock, and the land ready for a 1917 crop. This was the story told by the soldier, and wasn't he a proud man! He was now ready to do what he could to keep up the period of prosperity and provide food for the allies. The women of Canada have done nobly during the struggle. Among the most successful farmers of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba, are the Misses Clara and Beatrice Forward, who, for the past fourteen years, have farmed their own land, doing all the regular work on the farm, such as plowing, seeding, summer fallowing and reaping. They have been especially successful with stock, and have a splendid herd of shorthorns, both purebred and grade. At the recent Brandon sale they purchased a new purebred stock bull for $700. Their herd was last year Increased by 23 calves. Miss II. M. Hillman of Keeler, Saskatchewan, is another successful \voman farmer. She has gone in extensively for grain growing, and farms 1,120 acres. She also owns some of the finest Percheron horses In Saskatchewan. The prairie now boasts of many women who have had more or less success, though few are farming on the same large scale as Miss Hillman and the Misses Forward. These women have demonstrated, and are still dera« onstrating, that a versatile woman may be Just as good and successful a farmer as her brother. There are other women, too, on the Canadian prairies, who, though they have not had thrown upon them the responsibilities of "running a farm/' have been decided factors in making the farm a Ruccess. They assist their husbands by keeping the farm accounts, reducing the grocer's bills by their management of the poultry and butter, taking care of the house, and, very»often, proving good advisers in the economic management of the men and general conduct of the farm work. The man who moves to Canada carries with him a wonderful asset In a good managing wife.—Advertisement.

Dear Mother, Father and All: - Just another letter to let you know I am still on God's Great Ejarth and " n o t so worse" for #11 my experiences. You see by my letter I am now stationed at Paris. I was assigned to the post office at this place rnayht; I can tell you more later at* the censor is getting real good to us they let us aay quite a bit. What has happene(Mo all of the folks back there? Do you know 1 haven't received a letter since I left Camp Custer, Easter Sunday morning; not] only from you but iroln anyone in America. So you can imagine iiow 1 am wondering how everybody is back there. These past few months seem like years, altho I am not so lonesome. One thing, there is always something new to see and you dont have much time to think until you get in bed at night, then you are dreaming and thinking of those at home. This is a wonderful city. I am seeing things 1 used to read about. I've been all over France since 1 came here. As far as. scenery is concerned it ?s beautiful. (Of course I've seen some scenes that were not so beautiful, too.) I like my work and am quite cont?nte l now. The postoffiee is in the lower part of one of ths finest Paris hotels. We live in the upper part and enjoy about all the conveniences of civil life, hot and cold water, bath rooms, etc. We take our meals at another hotel nearby. Really, this does not seem like army life at al! to me. 1 am working fro n H:'.M) A. M. to r>:30 P. M. and any time not on duty can go and come as I wish. The boys here are all a tine bunch of fellows. You see we are quite a way back of the firing line but have plenty of excitement. '< You can never tell what minute at night you may hear the sirens blow and you don't want to be too slow getting below for Fritz has come to visit the town with his air llect and deadly bombs. VVe need no alarm as the big guns wake you up in the morning by- the I bursting of their shells. These great stone buildings fall down as if they were i paper. r I may have a new job the next time I write. The major s*ent to the office f,ur a 1 chauffeur today. I told him 1 could I drive a Ford or an'Overland. He said I"he had a new Briscoe and 1 told him j I could soon learn. 1 don't know if I will get the job or not. There is another guy after it It would be fine and , r^o I am crazy to get it. 1 would be out- j /$. side most of the time seeing the sights The major is to have charge of lifteen postoffices at the British front. We make the rounds most of the time. As I sit by my window writing I can see the Bastile, the Eifel Eifel lower and the original Ferris* Wheel. The people here are ail good to us. They worship the Americans. Many of them are leaving town daily. As I will get my own mail now and won't have to depend on anyone else because I don't think they've been very good to me. I want you to tell all those I know to write. Give them all my address and maybe I will get at least one letter. How are all the good neighbors? Tell them they may hear from me any time now. You'll say I'm not improving in my writing and I guess I'm not. 1 am saving space and writing in the moonlight. The city is kept quite dark. Maybe I will be home to help you fork be an 8, father, as life in the army is very uncertain. Tell me all about the Pincknev boys and everything else back home. I feel a bit nervous tonight so I guess I will close and take a good walk. • With love to all the dear ones home, I _ Your loving son, J. Bernard McCluskey American E. F. U . S . A.'P. O. M. P.

STATEMENTS OF CREW VARY Force So Great That West-bound Freight Plowed Three-fourths of Its War Through Car. Jackson, Mich.—"Well, we were both satisfied that everything was clear and that the second section had passed." « Motorman Charles A. Fisk, of the westbound freight car, which telescoped the Detroit Limited. D. U. R. ear a mile west of Chelsea killing 12 and injuring 47 persons Saturday night, thus explained the collision to Coroner Leo, Kennedy, of Washtenaw county, Sunday night. "Was it not your duty to see that both sections had gone by," he was asked. "Yes, I guess it was our duty," he answered. On order of Major General Chase K. Kennedy, commandant at Camp Custer, Captain Alyaro B. McCutcheon arrived in Chelsea Sunday afteraoon to co-operate with Sheriff H. J. Lindenschmitt, and Coroner Kennedy to fix responsibility for the disaster which included among its victims six soldiers trom Camp Custer. The Following Were Killed. Flynn, Harold J., private 160th Depot Brigade, 209 Atkinson avenue. Decker, Oscar, private, 160th Depot Brigade, £14 Cass avenue. Adair, Barney, 33rd company, Ninth Battalion, 160th Depot Brigade.

VaBllos, J. Nick, Albion, Mich. Unidentified civilian who raid in ante mortem statement that he was from Cadillac, Mich. Statements At Variance. Fisk's statement indicated that he and Conductor Buck were loading their car at the Chelsea switch when the first section of the eastbound passenger went by. It signaled that a second section followed and the freight answered the signal, the men resuming their work. Later he declared they called np Chelsea to ascertain whether the orders they had been given at Ann Arbor still stood. Satisfied that the second section of the passenger had passed the switch, although he admitted they had not beard It. Fisk told the coroner that Conductor Buck gave verbal orders for the freight to proceed. They went about a mile west of Chelsea, when the approach of the limited was noted. Motorman Fisk estimates his one car was going 25 miles an hour, while the Limited, he says, was going close to a mile a minute. Chelsea, a village of 2,200, was laboring Sunday under great stress. On every corner were gathered groups of sorrowf-il citizens discussing the catastrophe. Bruises and Cuts Prove Fstalitles. Practically none of the bodies were mangledj bruises and cuts, particularly about the head and chest having been responsible for the fatalities* The force of the impact is indicated by the fact that the west bound freight car plowed its way through the passenger, three-fourths of its length, the front part of the passeng- Br car having been reduced almost to kindling wood. The freight, however, having been loaded down with Hour and grain, kept the track and fared better in the crash. While damaged, it was not by any means to the same extent as the parsenger.

Astfcnr Ovy EMPEY AND HIS COMRADES MAKE THEIR MACHINE GUNS PERFORM SOME MARVELOUS TRICKS. 8ynopa4»>—Fired by the sinking of the Lusltanuvwitb the loss of American Uvea, Arthur Guy Empey, an American llvtng 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 take* his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger in No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back in rest billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. Once more In the front trenches, Empey goes "over the top" in a successful but costly attack on the German lines. CHAPTER XXII—Continued. —1fl— This punishment is awarded where there is a doubt as to the willful guilt of a man who haa committed an offence punishable by death. Then comes the famous field pun* Ishment No, 1. Tommy has nicknamed It "crucifixion.'' It means that a man is spread-eagled on a limber wheel, two hours a day for twenty-one days, During this time he only gets water, bully beef and biscuits for his chow. You get "crucified" for repeated minor offenses. Next in order is field punishment No. 2. This is confinement in the "clink," without blankets, getting water, bully beef and biscuits for rations and doing all the dirty work that can be found. This may be for twenty-four hours or twenty days, according to the gravity of the offense. Then comes "pack drill" or defaulters' parade. This consists of drilling, mostly at the double, for two hours with full equipment. Tommy hates this, because it is hard work. Sometimes he fills his pack with straw to lighten it, and sometimes he gets caught If he gets caught, he grouses .at everything in general for twentyone days, from the vantage point of a limber wheel. Next comes "C. B." meaning "confined to barracks." This consists of staying in billets or barracks for twenty- four hours to seven days. You also get -an occasional defaulters' parade and dirty Jobs around the quarter*. The sergeant major keeps what is known as the crime sheet. When a man commits an offense, he is "crimed," that is, his name, number and offense is entered on the crime sheet Next day at 9 a. m. he goes to the "orderly room" before the captain, who either punishes him with "C, B." or sends him before the O. C. (officer commanding battalion). The captain of the company can only award "C. B." Tommy many a time has thanked the king for making that provision In hit regulations. which used to get our goats, it had the exact range of our "elephant" dugout entrance, and every morning, about the time rations were being brought up, its bullets would knock up the dust on the road; more than one Tommy went West or to Blighty by running into them. This gun got our nerves on edge, and Fritz seemed to know it, because he never gave us an hour's rest. Our reputation as machine gunners was at stake; we tried various ruses to locate and put this gun out of action, but each one proved to be a failure, and Fritz became a worse nuisance than ever. He was getting fresher and more careless every day, took all kinds of liberties with us—thought he was invluclble. Then one of our crew got a brilliant idea and we were all enthusiastic to put it to the test. Here was his scheme: When firing my gun, I was to play my tune, and Fritz, no doubt, would fall for it, try to imitate me as an added Insult. This gunner and two others would try, by the sound, to locate Fritz and his gun. After having got the location, they would mount two machine guns in trees, in a little Tommy sheet, and yon have to be darned smart to do It I have been on it a few times, mostly for "Yankee impudence " During our stay of two weeks in rest billets our captain put us through a course of machine-gun drills, trying out new stunts and theories. After parades were over, our guns* crews got together and also tried out some theories of their own in reference to handling guns. - These courses had nothing to do with the advancement of tbe war, consisted mostly of causing tricky jams in the gun, and then the rest of the crew would endeavor to locate as quickly as possible the cause of the stoppage. This amused them for a few days and than things came to a standstill. One of the boys on my gun claimed that he could ploy a tune while tbe gun was actually firing, and. demonstrated this fact one day on the target range. We were very enthusiastic and decided to become musicians. After constant practice I became quite expert In the tune entitled "All Conductors Have Big Feet" When I had mastered this rune, our two weeks' rest came to an end, and once again we went op the Hue aad took over the sector to front of 0 — wood. At this point the German trenches ran around the base of a hill, on the top of whidt was t t e n t w o t i Thes weed) was Infested with machine fun* wtae* used to traverse o«r lines at wlli, tad sweep tbe street! ef a tittle m i j e wfc i wasps • we* ewe gssn n V arret* JOO res •J00VD5 MtMTCUl Showing How Fritz Is Fooled. clump of woods to the left of our cemetery, and while Fritz was In the middle of his lesson, would open up and trust to luck. By our calculations, It would take at least a week to pull off the stunt. If Fritz refused to swallow our bait T* ^»« HI* mi* of a "smart soldier" {t w o u M ** ^possible to locate his after, because they all sound alike, a slow pup-pup-pup. Our prestige was hanging by a thread. In the battalion we had to endure all kinds of insults and fresh remarks as to our ability In silencing Fritz. Even to the battalion that German gun was a sore spot Next day, Fritz opened up as usual. I let him fire away for a while and then butted in with my "pup-pup-puppup- pup-pup." I kept this up quite a while, used two belts of ammunition. Fritz had stopped firing to listen. Then he started in; sure enough, he had fallen for our game, his gun was trying to imitate mine, but at first he made a horrible mess of that tune. Again I butted in with a few ban and stopped. Then he tried to copy what I had played. He was a good sport all right because his bullets were going away over our heads, must have been firing Into the air. I commenced to feel friendly toward him. This duet went on tor fire days. Frits was a good pupil and learned rapidly, in fact got better than his teacher. I commenced to feel Jealous. When he had completely mastered the tune, be started sweeping the road again and we clicked it worse than ever. Bat he signed his death warrant by doing so, because my friendship turned to hate. Every time he fired be played that tune and we danced. The beys la the bettsttoo gave as the "Hat HaT They weren't in on Httle fraaseap. ef the rase aad the eMMta'f lecatloa to foe jalaate; they thetrtwe range. The next afternoon was set for the grand finale. Our three guns, with different elevations, had their fire so arranged, that, opening up together, their bullets would suddenly drop on Fritz like a hailstorm. About three the next day, Fritz started "pup-pupping" that tune. I blew a sharp Wast on a whistle, it was the signal agreed upon; we turned loose and Fritz's gun suddenly stopped in the middle of a bar. We had cooked his goose, and our ruse had worked. After firing two belts each, to make sure of our Job, we hurriedly dismounted our guns and took cover In the dugout. We knew what to expect soon. We didn't have to wait long, three salvos of "whizz-bangs" came over from Fritz's artillery, a further confirmation that we had sent that musical machine-gunner on his Westward-bound Journey. Tnat gun never bothered us again. We were the heroes of tlfe battalion, our captain congratulated us, said it was a neat piece of work, and, consequently, we were all puffed up over the stunt. There are several ways Tommy uses to disguise the location of his machine gun and get his range. Some of the most commonly used stunts are as follows: At night, when he mounts his gun over the top of his trench and wants to get the range of Fritz's trench he adopts the method of what he terras "getting the sparks." This consists of firing bursts from his gun until the bullets hit the German barbed wire. He can tell when they are cutting the wire, because a bullet when it hits a wire throws out a blue electric spark. Machine-gun fire Is very damaging to wire and causes many a wiring party to go out at night when it is quiet to repair the damage. To disguise the flare of his gun at night when firing, Tommy uses what is called a flare protector. This is a stovepipe arrangement which fits over the barrel casing of the gun and screens th i sparks from the right and left, but not from the front. So Tommy, always resourceful, adopts this scheme: About three feet or less in front of the gun he drives two stakes into the ground, abou1 five feet apart. Across these stakes he stretches a curtain made out of empty sandbags ripped open. He sonks this curtain in water and fires through It. The water prevents it catching fire and effectively screens the flare of the firing gun from the enemy. Sound is a valuable asset in locating a machine gun, but Tommy surmounts this obstacle by placing two machine guns about one hundred to one hundred and fifty yards apart. The gun on the right to cover with Its fire the sector of the left gun and the gun on the left to cover that of the right gun. This makes their fire cross; they are fired simultaneously. By this method It sounds like one gun firing and gives the Germans the impression that the gun is firing from a point midway between the guns which are actually firing, and they accordingly shell that particular spot The machine gunrers chuckle and say, "Fritz is u bruiay boy, not 'alf he ain't." But the men In our lines at the spot being shelled curse Fritz for his ignorance and pusa n few pert remarks down the line in reference to the machine gunners being "windy" and afraid to take their medicine. CHAPTER X X I I I . Gas Attacks and Spies. Three days after we had silenced Frits, the Germans sent over gas. It did not catch us unawares, because the wind had been made to order, that is, it was blowing from the German trenches toward ours at the rate of about five miles per hour. Warnings had been passed down the trench to keep a sharp lookout for gas. We had a new man at the periscope, on this afternoon in question; I was sitting ou the fire step, cleaning my rifle, when be called out to me: "There's a sort of greenish, yellow cloud rolling along the ground out In front It's coming—" But I waited for no more, grabbing my bayonet, which was detached from the rifle, I gave the alarm by banging an empty shell case, which was hanging near the periscope. At the same Instant, gongs started ringing down the trench, the signal for Tommy to don his respirator, or smoke helmet, as we call it. Gas travels quickly, so you must not lose any time; you generally have about eighteen or twenty seconds in which to adjust your gas helmet. Empey is assigned to the intelligence department, but finds It la not the "soft" snap that he anticipated. The next installment tells of some of his experiences In his new Job as a spy-catcher.

SWANS FLY FAST AND FAR Their Endurance and Speed a Matter of Marvel to Scientists Who Have Made Matter a Study. Acts of Heroism Recognized. Twenty-four acts of heroism were recognized by the Carnegie hero fi'nd commission in Its fourteenth annual meeting. In seven cases silver medals were awarded, in 17 cases, bro-ize medals. Ten of the heroes lost their lives, and to the dependents of n<ne of these pensions aggregating $4,660 a year were granted. In addition to these money grants, in two cases. $2,- 100 was appropriated for educational purposes, payments to be made as needed and approved, and in 11 ca*ea awards aggregating $8,000 were made for other worthy purposes. Pay* ments in these cases will not be mads until the awards have been approved by the commission. It Is said to be impossible for anyone who has seen only the common mute swans floating about In the artificial lakes of city parks to imagine the grandeur of a flock of the great whistlers in their wild state. One government scientist, attached to a burean In Washington, says that the sight '• one of the most impressive In nature* As the great birds rise into the air it seems as if an aerial regatta were being sailed overhead, the swans, each with a wing spread of six or seven feet, moving like yachts under full sail. Once the swana are under way. their speed Is amazing, nearly 100 miles an hour, and thnt, too. with ne apparent effort, for the slow wing motion Is very deceiving. Their endurance is as surprising as their speed, for they are said to travel 1,000 miles without alighting. That Second Thought.

Attempted Burglary At South Lyon Peeved, 'and disappointed because she could not enjoy the notoriety of an imaginary visit to her vicinity by Harry Bushnell, the escaped convict, thereby missing t h e advertising t h a t a manhunt by t h e S t a t s Prison authorities brings, South Lyons has pulled off a genuine sensation by having real, live robbers visit the bank. There is first class material for a reel drama in the story—midnight attack, hero and heroine to t h e rescue, exciting chase in automobiles, fearless and efficient officers,—but why continue? The results of t h e nights excitement are: one live burglar safely behind t h e bars, fuses, burglar tools and an auto, captured and now on exhibition at South Lyon, Oakland County, Mich. is solid and definite substance compare'': with t h e attenuated stuff which nature gave t h e hen in lieu of a brain. A hen on a country road is a com- I pendium of all tt.e idiocies e x t a n t . She ' is madness it:-;elf with i;o m e t h o i in her j madness, either. She "razes quietly I by the hedge in front of her estate unj ti! :ihe observes the cloud of duet which ! presages the coming' car. A t once she becomes a different being. She stops I eating, ruffles up her feathers, glares j wildly at the invader, and zigzags down I toward the road, prepared for instant flight. As the machine approaches, i her agitation increases. Presently Jshe ! begins to run, squalking dismally, In- | variably she runs in a diagonal direction | toward the road. Presently she reali- ! zes \.hat t h e automibile is going'faster j than she is. Does she turn away frcm the road? Never. She fixes her large I round eye on the other side of the road and makes a mad dive in front of t h e machine. There is a bump, a cloud of feathers, and another hen has cheated ] the stewpan. If the automobilist un- | derstood the hen he wouM stop his car while she was yet far ahea 1 of him. Then drawing a net from his tool box he would approach the agitated fowl stealthily, entangle her in t h e net, tie her by t h e leg to a stout stake and drive the stake into the ground t e n feet from the road. >But the automobilist does not understand the hen, and we fear they would not go to all t h a t trouble if they did.—Chelsea Tribune.

The pest is known as t h e w h e a t joint worm (Isosoma Tririci). T h e p e s t works j u s t above the nodes or joints and the injury from its a t t a c k s results in the interfering with the flow of sap and the filling in of the head. The p a r t of t h e straw appears twisted or swollen sometimes with a wavy grain. At first the affected p a r t is soft and thickened but later becomes woody and brittle. Upon examination the cavities insidecontain a little grub, sometimes a dozen close together.v Winter is passed for the most p a s t j n the stubble, although a very few may survive- in t h e s t r a w . The shock of the separator seems to kill the majority in the straw. A survey of the county has befm made by the county and an expert from M. A. C. I t is estimated that t h e wheat ^fields in this county are affected with this parasite to an extent of 20 per cent The Dept. of Entomology will latersugge^ t advice as t o the best method of control of this pest.

Some of th.p automobile owners say t h a t the mortality among hens in t h e a u t ; season is g r ' a t . /\nd it is'nt t h e automobile owner's fault.

T h e idea and designs for the monument were worker! out by a leading eastern artistffor G W. Dickinson, Secretary- Manager o! the fair association. Natural colors, of the fruits will be so blended that artists declare the pillar wiil be as beautiful as the rainbow. For the designs on the main portior of the column vegetables and flowers will be utilized while the filling will b e ' composed of grain, apples, pears and green and red peppers. T h e shirM at the hase will be prepared with nut> and spices while the foundation of the structure will be made up of the larger vegetables such as melons, pumpkins' and squashes.

NEW U W S ARE NEEDED Present Method of Collecting Drain Tax Is Too Burdensome, According to O. E. Robey. By O. E. ROBEY, Specialist in Drainage Michigan Agricultural College. "Bast Lansfng, Mich.—In these days Is which we are taking all conceivable steps to protect our crops against all possible enemies and the world from famine we should not lose sight of the immense crop producing value of proper drainage. Whenever we see an area under water which would become very good farm land if properly drained, but which la not bearing an edible blade of grass, we wonder why we are not making better use of It. Excess water of another sort, however, is probably curtailing our agricultural effort more than are these vast tracts of unreclaimed land in Michigan. I refer to the thousands of fields plowed and planted each year with the anticipation of a favorable season but which yield only disappointment at harvest time because of too much moisture in the subsoil. .In the case of the undeveloped land We do not expect a crop. We do not apend our high-priced labor attempting to cultivate It nor do we waste our high-priced seeds. Our direct loss here I9. not great. In the other Instance, where the wetness Is not so evident. we squander both time and seed and the-Joss. is sometimes ruinous. This latter type of land, the kind that looks dry but actually Is wetter than Wisconsin is losing more for the Michigan farmer today than are the unreclaimed tracts. Usually these lands are marked by a heavy clay soil which is very retentive of moisture. A continued wet spell so saturates them that they remain full of water for a long time. This prevents the soil from properly warming up in the spring, or at any other period of the growing season, because the water as well as the soil must be heated. The moisture also prevents the proper circulation of the air which Is so necessary for the growth of the plant and for the breaking down of plantfood. Warmth, food and air are all of them very vital elements in the development of a plant. One of the most effective ways of insuring a crop upon this type of land is to systematically underdrain It. Underdrainage, where It is needed, Is one of the most fundamental requirements of profitable agriculture. Yet how often is this fact lost sight of. If underdralnage is necessary, and it is necessary If a crop Is partially or completely lost in an unfavorable season, It Is one of the first Improvements which should be made. Whenever drainage Is spoken of In a community where it has not "been tried out to any great extent the expense is first thought of. It does seem expensive to invest from $20 to $40 an acre in land that may be already high in price, but it should be remembered that the benefit from this expenditure is not for one year alone, but should reasonably extend over a life-time. If we consider the problem on this basis, It amounts to a much smaller expense per year than many of the other investments which we are making to increase production, such as application of fertilizers, use of high-producing seeds, -a.nd so on. f In visiting various sections of the state where underdralnage has been practiced for some time one cannot but be impressed by the uniform opinion of those who have tried It that It ia one of the most paying Investments they have ever made. Many a farmer who is accumulating money to buy an additional farm might far better Invest his money in systematically uoderrtralnlng his present property. Mat? instances have come to my attecftton of farmers, who lacking money, have borrowed it and drained to their financial betterment. •jo Illustrate what tile drainage will do ~to Increase food production, it is obty ooceosary to remember the nirm- Xm e f tile laid in Michigan last year. %e>bttoevB that the 25.000,000 tile put 'MpUt year will increase crop produc- **& one-third on the toad drained wfati taken oirer a aeries of years, thousand acres of land were ted 1« MMdgan last year. The la> titbit land doe to better ^jmmtr «ortda»t wheat, <• feed a dty of 50,- !*:«tf der present conditions, it will he seen, would be to Increase the amount of tile drainage in Michigan. This would not only produce food now, when it is most needed, but it would go on producing food for years and years to come. During the last year the farmers of the state of Michigan paid over three million dollars In drain taxes to secure suitable outlets for drainage to their land and undoubtedly this was money well spent. It will bring a great deal more than this amount in returns, but It is one of the most lamentable facts in our drainage situation that many farmers adjacent to these drains do not realize as much as they might from this tax investmeut. If proper systems of underdralnage could be immediately Installed the land could be made to very quickly pay for this outlay. In the majority of cases, however, the high drain tax exhausts the supply of money with which the farmer might carry on this after-deveiopinent. By the time the farmer gets squared away the ditch is often so filled up with rubbish that its value as an outlet is materially reduced, if not entirely destroyed. We need legislative remedies for this, something that will encourage Immediate development of the adjacent property and provide for malntenace of county drains after they are completed, The formation of drainage districts with the power to bond is one way of meeting the first trouble, and no doubt a suitable scheme can be worked out to correct the latter. Organization of districts along natural lines, instead of along the present arbitrary boundaries, would be helpful. CROP OF FORESTERS FAILS Number of Trained Woodsmen Inade. quate for Supplying of Current Demands. East Lansing, Mich.—For the man who is lured by the breath of the pine woods, and for all those who love the great out-of-doors, the present is a season of opportunity, declares Prof. A. K. Chittenden, head of the department of forestry at M. A. C. Owners of country estates, cities in quest of tree surgeons, and federal and state governments are all of them in the market for men trained In forestry, but in the opinion of the professor they are destined to remain empty handed unless young America comes to the rescue. "Even before the war came upon us," says Professor Chittenden, "the calls for foresters with college training much outnumbered the men qualified to fill the positions offered. This state of affairs has come about as the result of the Increasing employment of foresters by cities throughout the country, and to the use of them in large numbers in other capacities. "Unless more boys enroll In the colleges for training as foresters, this dearth of able men Is likely to become chronic. The boy who doesn't know what to do with himself ought to Investigate this profession." BIG CROP PEDIGREED GRAIN Large Acreages of Red Rock Wheat and Rosen Rye Are Harvested. East Lansing, Mich.—Reports filed with the Michigan agricultural college by growers in various parts of Michigan indicate that enough pedigreed wheat and rye was harvested within the state this season to sow at least half of Michigan's wheat and rye acreages, to these Improved crops next fall. Enough inspected and certified Red Rock wheat was harvested, according to the statement of secretary of the Michigan Crop Improvement association, to sow 90,000 acres this coming fall to this superior grain, and enough of Red Rock wheat of all grades to sow 360,000 acres. Of Rosen rye a sufficient quantity of the Inspected and certified grain has been harvested to sow 70,000 acres. Both Red Rock wheat and Rosen rye, which are special strains of high yielding grains produced originally by the experiment station of the college, have won such a reputation for themselves that Michigan growers were called upon last season to supply seed to farm* era in 20 other states. "Stripe" Hits Barley. A disease known as the barley "leaf stripe" is reported by the department of plant pathology of M. A. C. to have been the cause of appreciable loss this season to Michigan barley growers. The disease produces stunted plants with blasted heads, and the leaves are striped so that they look like ribbon grass. According to the college pathologists, the most effective way to get rid of the trouble is to secure seed that is dean and to avoid putting- in another crop of barley on the Held from which the diseased crop was removed, doaamnca as growers very rarely follow barky wit* barley. ti» •ecortn* of. dean teed from neighbors whose fields free from the diaeaae la eauld* wwy* e* a*edtee#f*i INNOCENCE. The culprit had hired the young town lawyer to defend him against the charge of stealing a book cabinet After the first conference the young student of law7 who was Just beginning court practice said to his client: "Now, Bill, I'm convinced that you didn't steal that book cabinet. If I thought you did PtTadvlse you to plead guilty. However, just leave it to me and I'll prove to the court that you are innocent. In the meantime I'll take a retainer of ten dollars and you can pay the rest when—" "Ten dollars!" said Bill. "I ain't got no ten dollars." At this startling news the young lawyer seemed downcasted, but suddenly he brightened. "Well, I'll tell you what I'll do," he said. "I'll try to get you out of this scrape and then we'll call It square If you send the cabinet around to my office. I need one badly." Disposed Of.

"Hurrah," they all shouted for every oae of them loved com, and even the daddy of the family shouted, "Hurrah!" Now the corn was In the kitchen on the table. There were five ears — o n e f o r every person. Each ear of corn was In Its home of beautiful corn silk, covered by nice green husks. "It will be a great surprise, won't it, mother corn?" asked a baby ear. "It will Indeed," said the mother corn. "What do you suppose they will do with me?" asked the baby ear. "Am I too small? Will I be thrown away?" "I don't think you will be thrown away," said the mother ear. "I hope not," said the baby ear, as It nestled in its silken bed. "What beautiful beds we have, mother," the baby ear said. "It's so wonderful to live in silk!" This was the first corn of the season and the family were very much excited that they were going to have It for lunch. "Lunch will be a great treat today," the children said. •Til get the butter," said one child. "And I'll see that the salt Is on the table." , "How delicious is corn with butter and salt," said another child. "And we always have it so piping hot too." The corn in the kitchen stayed quite still of course, but the baby ear of corn whispered to the mother ear, "We'll ' be piping hot, and the big people and children will eat us. They enjoy us, we'll be a treat. How nice It Is to be an ear of corn, only, only," "It's too bad corn hasn't the means of crying real tears," said the baby ear. "Oh dear me." said the mother ear, "tears aren't nice at all. People only cry when they are sad. Children cry If they have been hurt or If someone has teased them, and there are some children/I've heard with my corn ear, who will cry for nothing at all. These children are called cry-babies, but there aren't many of them, I'm than*- ful to say. "At any rate, tears aren't nice, rind they mean something unpleasant and sorrowful." "But I am a little sorrowful," said the baby ear. "You mustn't be." "I am so afraid I won't be eaten,** said the baby ear. "There are some creatures and things which wouldn't care to be eaten,* 1 said the mother ear. "I'm not one of them," the baby ear answered. "Cheer up, baby ear," said the mother ear, "If you didn't get the chance to grow Into a big, full-size ear of corn, at least you have had a silken bed. You've been able to live in a wonderful silken home, and that is more than many folks and creatures can do." "What is it to live in clover?" asked the baby ear. "They say, but in the corn field, that some folks think that it's fine to live in clover." "To live in clover," said the mother ear, *'means Just the same as to live in a silken bed. In fact it means anything that Is nice. People may live In clover and not be near a clover field, because they may live so happily and in such c o m f o r t a b l e , cheery, pleasant homes that it's a perfect kind of life. Clover does not always need to mean clover. It may just mean happiness." "Th^n we live In clover, though it happens to be silk, said the baby ear. *• We've been very nappy growing in the corn field, and now we're happy to think of giving thii family such a fine treat for their* lunch.

WESTERN CANADA FARM LAND PRICES Stories of pheiiomenul advancement and prosperity 111 Wester u Canada have been told the reading public for some years past. The stories were told when there were hundreds of thousands of acres of splendid land udjacent to railways and projected lines, which could be had on the payment of a mere $10 entry fee, and under cultivation and living conditions. A* was prophesied then, the day has come when these are few. There are still available thousands of these; they are some distance now from the railways. The land is as good as ever, but pioneering conditions will have changed. A great many are still taking advantage of this free offer from the government. The story was told when good lands near lines of railway could be bought for from .$8 to $10 per acre and the prophecy made that these prices would double in a few years, for the intrinsic value was far more than that. That day has come more quickly than expected. The immense crops of grain that could be raised has brought about the change, and the demand for low priced lands with maximum returns has prompted the keen purchaser as well as the owner of higher priced land from which no greater return coulo be looked for. Prices of bind in Wfstern Canada are still advancing, and will continue to advance uitil, of course, the limit is reached— when returns will warrant no further Increase. That day is not far distant. But, in the meantime, there are large tracts of land owned by land companies nnd private individuals that have not felt the advance that has been shown in other districts. The opportunity to purchase these should not be lost sight of, and if there are those amongst the readers of this article, which Is authorized by the Canadian government, who wish cheap laud, such lands as produce from 25 to 40 bushels per acre, and will pay for themselves out of one year's crop, advantage should be taken of the present opportunity. Coming to Alberta with his family thirteen years ago, his assets consisting of a small outfit and $20 in cash, Mr. 0. F. Malmberg has accumulated by farming and live stock raising assets to the value of more than $800,- 000, and has a personal credit, worth on demand, $100,000. He has not speculated in land, but bought only to farm. Near Blackie, Alberta, he operates 3,- 100 acres of wheat land. He has Just purchased an additional 11,500 acres near Cardston, In Southern Alberta. His personal credit enabled him to finance this deal in Calgary in a little over three hours. The ranch Just purchased is a fully equipped stock and grain ranch. At the present time It carries a thousand head of cattle and several hundred horses, and Is fully equipped with buildings, machinery, corrals, sheep sheds, dipping vats, etc. That Is a story from one district. Let us select one from a district some hundred or more miles from that. "Peter A. Klassen, who recently moved to Herbert, Sask., from Kansas, has purchased a section of prairie land In the Hillsboro district, about 24 miles northwest of Herbert, for which he paid $12,000 cash. He Is erecting temporary buildings to live In while putting the place in cultivation, and, this summer plans to erect good buildings on the farm and equip it for a home. Mr. Klassen recently sold his 80-acre farm in Kansas for $15,000 and is investing the proceeds in Canada." With the proceeds of the sale of his land in Kansas, this farmer purchased in Saskatchewan a piece eight^times as large as he had previously been farming, and had a balance with which to purchase equipment, stock, etc., of $3,- 000. Moreover as land in Saskatchewan may be expected to yield twice as much grain per acre, he will be able to produce sixteen times as much as formerly. The average value of farm land for the whole of Canada, including land improved and unimproved, together with dwelling houses, barns, stables and o'tber farm buildings, is approximately $44 per acre as compared with $41 in 1916, according to the latest report of the Census and Statistics branch at Ottawa. The average value of land in tfie Prairie Provinces is as follows: Manitoba $31.00 Saskatchewan 28.00 Alberta 26.70 It is the low prices at which land can be obtained In Western Canada which is rendering this country suck an important factor in the production of foodstuffs at the present tine.

MARYS PICNIC Red Gross Benefits This Year PIANO TUNING N o w o n L o n g I s l a n d w a i t i n g t r a n s p o r t a t i o n . v. Monday, July 17>, 1918. Dear Mother: We left Camp Custer Saturday at 11 a. rm and arrived in New York last night about 6 o'clock. It was a wonderful trip and I certainly enjoyed it immensely. When we got to Detroit the Red Cro88 ladies met ua at the train with sandwiches, cake and milk, and we certainly appreciated it. Though ws were fed on the train it was all old stuff. After we crossed the riv- • fit into Canada the R. C. ladies passed oat stamped post cards and took the n up to mail after the boys had written words home. We arrived at Buffalo about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. I happened to wake up as we were going over Niagara river and was sorry it was dark as I would have liked to have seen the place. When we woke up in the morning we were in New York and just starting •through the Appalachain mountains. The first town we went through was Dansville, the prettiest town I ever saw. The train ran along the side of the mountain and the town was situatod in the valley. Everything appeared to be spotlessly clean. All day Sunday we traveled in the mountains-and I never dreamed there was such scenery outeLieof the National park. Sergeant Person said it resembled the scenery in Switzerland. The farming country in Canada is great—fields as level as a floor and the crops loefc fine. About 6 o'clock we Btopped at Fort Thomas, where the company and band got out and marched around town half an hour. About the only unpleasant thing about the trip was the sleeping accomodations, as we had to make the best of the day coached About eight.S o'clock Sunday morning we stopped at Elmira and walked around a bit to stretch ourselves and the R. C. ladies served lunch. About 1 p. m. we arrived at Scranton, .Pa. There are lots of coal mines here and the city runs clear up into the mountains.* Tne best scenery oi all came after we left Scranton. All along the line were swell summer resorts where the idie rich come to hang out during the summer. We arrived at New Yo.k about 6 p. m., were ferried over to Long Island and took a train to the camp, about an hours ride. We Lave to sleep in tents here as there are no barracks. There are no drill fields here either so we don't have much to do unless we have a chance to visit New York City before we leave. Long Island is iust like a large park. Some of the richest people in the country have summer homes out here. Airplanes are beginning to bean old story already as the air has been full of them all' morning. They use them to guard the Camp. We have inspection soon after which the band gives a concert. It is pretty soft here and everyone seems to like it. July 17th.—Don't expect to be here much longer than this week from v hat we hear now. Yesterday we drew a lot of new clothing—overcoat, blouse, , wrap leggins, etc. Outside of physical exercise that was all we had to do all da}\ Last night t h e band went to Mineola, a little surburban and played for an entertainment the dance. Haven't been able to get a pass to the city yet, but may be able to do so this p. rn. Last night another fellow and myself went to a little town just outside and went to a musical comedy. We brought ~ back a watermelon that made us sweat to carry it but it certainly was good. There are some men here—about 90*000 and men from every part of the U. S. We will probably go to England from here, bat do not expect to stay here long. Of coarse this is all guess worx. There are some men hereuntil I notify-tou of o change. .Beaded**•*• Co., $#<& Infanlry ^ Clm>Wle^I>>i^»^arKifN. Y.

The system is as nearly automatic as can be, merely requiring starting which a child can do. When thebatteries are full it stops itself. The Bystem is the Delco Lighting Sy8tem and was installed by D. W. Griffin of Fowlerville, the county dealer.

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

The farmer whose land ia right can get a bumper yield If be will spray. He should do this consistently every year. He can add enough bushels to the acre to more than pay for his labor and material. He has as well insurance against blight. The question as to whether potatoes will blight or not is answered. Watch the weather of July. If Jul* *• C01* and wet like it was In 1915, blight is threatening. If July is a month of drought with rainfall below the average then there will be no blight. We recommend spraying every year to men who are speclallaing In potatoes and who know that their soil la capable of producing a good crop. For the ordinary field while safety comes from full preparedness it seems that our knowledge of weather relations lets us foresee the danger and fore* stalrlt. ALBION BOY HAS BEST PIG Rae E.

Bast Lansing, Mich.—First prise as a raiser of pigs mong the boys' and girls* dubs of _ Michigan has been awarded by the boys and girls' clubs department of the Michigan Agricultural college to Rae B.

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

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

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

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

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

Washington—Release of hotels and public eating places from the voluntary pledge to use no wheat until the aew harvest was in, is announced by the food administration. Homes opgrated on the same basin are also re« eased. This action follows receipt of a cable from Food Administrator Hoover in conference with Allied countries in England. He has received reQulrenents of Aiyed nations for the coming rear and their estimates of their own wheat yields. Announcement is expected shortly !rom these conferences that the entire Allied world has enough wheat to ibandon its extreme wheat conservation plans and that all will share alike In the wheat that they have pooled. Abandonment of the wheatless period and days does not mean that pure wheat bread again will be used. Victory bread" is to come into universal use and it will be the only white bread baked In the bakeries of the United States, served by its restaurants, and used in its patriotic homes. Victory bread is SO per cent wheat flour and 20 per cent substitutes. About 5,000 hotel men gave the wheatless pledge and it is estimated that they, with the dining cars and clubs and other public eating places, laved from October 1, 1917 to August, 1918, between 17S.000.000 and 200,000,- 500 pounds of wheat and its products 150,000,000 pounds of meats and 50,- 000,000 pounds of sugar.

BOARD WANTS SHIPPING DIVIDED Enemy Shipping When Seized Should Be Parceled Among Allies.

This is the judgment of a committee, named by the board of trade, which corresponds to the United 3tates department of commerce, to consider British shipping after the war. The committee recommends that enemy shipping, when seized, should be divided among the countries whose shipping has suffered, or be told, so as to exclude enemy or neutral buyers. The committee recommends that the government relinquish its control over merchantmen, when peace :omes, and that efforts be made to [ build 2,000,000 tons of merchant ships innually after the war. 6REAT LAKES STRIKE AVERTED Following Conference With Chairman Hurley Leaders Call Off Strike.

Chicago.—The largest single order for bacon and canned meats In the history of the world—99,560,000 pounds-of bacon and 134,000,000 pounds of canned meat—has Just been placed by the Quartermaster's Department, U. S. A., for the American Army overseas. Louis F. Swift, in commenting on this today, said the order will take the bacon from approximately 1,900,- 000 hogs, and If other work were dropped to produce it, would be equivalent to the total fcacon production of the five largest Chicago packers for nearly five weeks. However, six months will elapse before delivery is to be completed. Mr. Swift said: "At the current prices on the day, Ifist week, wheu the purchase was made, the packers would pay the live stock producers about $80,000,000 for the necessary hogs and over $50,000,000 for about 900,000 cattle required. The cattle will cost us twice as much, and the hogs two and one-half times as much as In the pre-war period. The whole order will be made up before the first of the year, despite the fact that, even before this purchase, one-fourth of the packers' facilities have been devoted to filling military demands. In order to get out the canned goods the packers will find it necessary to employ night and day shifts of canners. Notwithstanding the fact that the products are being rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a single complaint has been received on meats delivered to the armies abroad. The five packers are now killing about 360,000 hogs weekly to keep abreast of martial and domestic needs."

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

Evec sudden retirement has not relieved the German from constant harrying. In addition to hashing by the cavalry and pounding by the tank* lives of the German rear guards «are being made hazardous by Allied troops. Meanwhile Allied aviator* daringly fly a few hundred feet ovei head, bombarding and machine-gun ning German batteries and columns on the march. Tank crews have been heroes in this chaae and ever since commencement of the German retreat they have done remarkable work. After break ing up the enemy front line and pre paring the way for an advance of In fantry tanks throughout have continued to exploit the success gained. Tanks have even attacked enemy artillery batteries and killed all the gunners, thus permitting infantry tc capture many of these weapons, There Is not a tank on the section which has taken part in the fighting that has not from 15 to 20 machine guns to its credit. Most of the pri soners declare losses caused by tanks have been terrible. The line where the German with drawal has attained Its greatest depth is northeast of Chateau Thierry. The depth from that point gradually becomes narrower until it is quite small on nearing the eastern pivot m the front southwest of Rheims. Both here and around Soissons, the other pivot, the ground is admirably suited for defense. In the vicinity of these two points Germans have concentrated most of their artillery and large forces of infantry, knowing if a breach be made at either place by the Allies a great majority of the German troops occupying the remainder of the pocket must be sacrificed. On banks of the Marne south of the center of the salient not a single live German remains. Their sudden retreat, here was brought about by constant pressure of the French, Americans and British. Allied troops have kept constantly on the heels of the enemy and patrols have advanced considerably further than the line indicated. The method of retirement adopted by the enemy consists of first retiring one company from every two companies, then two sections from the remaining, company. Then the last section withdraws, leaving only a few men with machine guns to cover the retreat These men often are sacriflced, but sometimes they manage to rejoin their comrades and the maneuver is repeated. %< NORTH OF RIVER MARNE WORLD'S WORST BATTLE IN HISTORY 18 BEING FOUGHT .***'Vl ' & ' • & : . & • * 1 A stews night and -.fr With the French Army—With 70 German divisions officially identified in the fighting soae, the battle is the biggest in all history. Prisoners number 25,000 and more than BOO cannon and thousands of machine guns have been captured. Of the prisoners 14 per cent belong to the 1919 class, showing that nearly all theea boys already have been incorporated in fighting anjta. If all of them have been utilised they would form from 17 to It per cent of the OenBSxr stmgth.

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

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

By An American Arthur Guy Empey S o l d i e r W h o W e n t Machine Gunner, Serving in France Copyright ltt7,lr * EMPEY AND HIS COMRADES REPULSE A FIERCE GAS ATTACK MADE BY THE GERMANS. 8ynopsls*~-Fired by the sinking of the Lusltanla, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey,-an American living In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent to training quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empey*s company Is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men tinder hot fire. With pick and shovel Emper has experience as a trench digger in No Man's Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Exciting work on observation post duty. Back in rest billets Empey writes and stages 0 successful play. Once more in the front trenches, Empey goes "over the top" in a successful but costly attack on the German lines. CHAPTER XX111—Continued. —19— A gas helmet is made of cloth, treated with chemicals. There are two windows, or glass eyes, in it, through which you can see. Inside there is a rubberdry, and a heavy pressure on the lungs warned me that my helmet was leaking. Turning by gun over to No. 2, I changed helmets. The trench started to wind like a snake, and sandbags appeared to be covered tube, which goes In the mouth, floating in the air. The noise was hor- You breath© through your nose; the :gas, passing through the cloth helmet, Is neutralized by the action of the chemicals. The foul air is exhaled through the tube In the mouth, this tube being so constructed that It prevents the inhaling of the outside air or gas. One helmet Is good for five hours of the strongest gas. Each Tommy carries two of them slung around his shoulder in a waterproof canvas bag. Be must wear this bag at all times, «ven while sleeping. To change a defective helmet/you take out the new one, hold your breath, pull the old one off, placing the new one over your toead, tucking In the loose ends under the collar of your tunic. For a minute, pandemonium reigned tn our trench—Tommies adjusting their helmets, bombers running here and there, and men turning out of the •dugouts with fixed bayonets, to man the fire step. Re-enforceraents were pouring out of the communication trenches. Our gun's crew were busy mounting the machine gun on the parapet and bringlug up extra ammunition from the dugout. German gas is heavier than air and soon tills the trenches and dugouts, where It has been known to lurk for two or three days, until the air is purlfled by means of large chemical sprayers. We had to work quickly, as Fritz generally follows the gas with an Infantry attack. A company man on our right wasi too slow in getting on his helmet; he sank to the ground, clutching at his •throat, and after a few spasmodic twiatings went West (died). It was horrible to see blm die, but we were .powerless to help htm. In the corner <Jf a traverse, a little, muddy cur dog, one of the company's pets, was lying dead, with his paws over his nose. It's the animals that suffer the most —the horses, mules, cattle, dogs, cats and rats—they having no helmets to «ave them. Tommy does not sympathize with rats in a gas attack. At times gas has been known to travel, with dire results, fifteen miles behind the lines. A gas, or smoke helmet, as It Is called, at the best i s a vile-smelling thing, and it is not long before one gets a violent headache from wearing i t Our eighteen-poundere were bursting in No Man's Land, in an effort, by the artillery, to disperse the gas clouds. The fire step was lined with crouching men, bayonets fixed, and bombs near at hand to repel the expected attack. Our artillery had put a barrage of curtain fire on the German lines, to try •and break up their attack and keep back re-enforcements, I trained my machine gun on their trench and its bullets were raking the parapet Then over they came, bayonets glistening. In their respirators, which have a large snout In front, they looked like some horrible nightmare. All along our trench, rifles and machine guns spoke, our shrapnel was bunting over their heads. They went down in heaps, but new ones took the places of the fallen. Nothing could atop that mad rush. The Qeroan* seeched our barbed wire, which had previously been demolished by their rible; I sank onto the fire step, needles seemed to be pricking my flesh, then blackness. I was awakened by one of my mates removing my smoke helmet. How delicious that cool, fresh air felt in my lungs. A strong wind had arisen and dispersed the gas. They told me that I had been "out" for three hours; fhey thought I was dead. The attack had been repulsed after a hard fight. Twice the Germans had gained a foothold In our trench, but had been driven out by counter-attacks. The trench was filled with their dead and ours. Through a periscope I counted eighteen dead Germans in our wire; they were a ghastly eight in their horrible-looking respirators. I examined my first smoke helmet A bullet had gone through it on the left side, Just grazing my ear. The gas had penetrated through the hole made in the cloth. Out of our crew of six we lost two killed and two wounded. That night we buried all of the dead, excepting those in No Man's Land. In death there is not much distinction; friend and foe are treated alike. After the wind had dispersed the gas the R. A. M. C. got busy with their chemical sprayers, spraying out the aa4 tha aavil foe alL fludttfti'y ttijs A Gas Helmet. dugouts and low parts of the trenches to dissipate any fumes of the German gas which may have been lurking in same. Two days after the gas attack I was sent to division headquarters, in answer to an order requesting that captains of units should detail a man whom, they thought capable of passing an examination for the divisional intelligence department Before, leaving for this assignment I went along the front-line trench saying good-by to my mates andTlordlng It over them, telling them that I had clicked a cushy job behind the lines, and -how sorry I felt that they had to stay in the front line and argue out the war with Frits. They were envious hut still good-natured, antfus I left the trench to go to the rear they shouted, after me: "Good luck, Tana, old DOT; doflt forget to send up a few fags to your old mates." I promised to do this and left I reported at headquarters with sixteen others and passed the required ex* abeiU, {hen it wa* bomb against bomb*] emination* put of the sixteen epptSy* »<~"***y •<i:i- *•* •#*•*.:• i.." ,C-k* •! <4V ../ -V ' *&* •^w^se srTP.t" J- ' • - 8 r & cants four were r was "highly tboogftt to for a jobbeckttt** The next morning the four reported to division headquarters for instructions. Two of the men were sent to large towns in the rear of the lines with an easy Job. When it came our turn the officer told us we were good men and had passed a very creditable examination. My tin hat began to get too small for me, and I noted that the other man, Atwell by name, was sticking his chest out more than usual. The officer continued: "I think I can use you two men to great advantage in the front line. Here are your orders and instructions, also the pass which gives you full authority as special M. P. detailed on intelligence work. Report at the front line according to your instructions. It Is risky work and I wish you both the best of luck." My heart dropped to zero and Atwejl's face was a study. We saluted and left. That wishing us the "best of luck* sounded very ominous In our ears; if he had said ifl wish you both a swift and painless death" it would have been more to the point. When we had read our instructions we knew we were in for it good and plenty. What Atwell said is not fit for publication, but I strongly seconded his opinion of the war, army and divisional headquarters in general. After a bit our spirits rose. We were full-fledged spy-catchers, because our Instructions and orders, said so. We immediately reported- to the nearest French estaminet and had several glasses of muddy water, which they called beer. After drinking our beer we left the estaminet and hailed an empty ambulance. After showing the driver our passes we got 1¾ The driver was going to the part of the line where we had to report. How the wounded ever survived a ride in that ambulance was inexplicable to me. It was worse than riding on a gun carriage over a rock road. The driver of the ambulance was a corporal of the R. A. M. C, and he had the "wind up," that is, he had an aversion to being under fire. I was riding on the seat with him while Atwell was sitting tn the ambulance, with his legs hanging out of they back. As we passed through a shell-destroyed village a mounted military policeman stopped us and informed the driver to be very careful when we got out on the open road, as it was very dangerous, because the Germans lately had acquired the habit of shelling it. The corporal asked the trooper if there was any other way around, and was informed that there was not. Upon this he got very nervous and wanted to turn back, but we Insisted that he pro- DESTINED TO BECOME DESERT Great French Colonial Territory In North Africa 8eems to Hold Out . Little Promise. Wadal was the last point of colonial expansion of the French before the European struggle drew their energies and attention homeward. The great African territory was added to the French Kongo only a short time before the war broke out Very few white people have actually visited Wadai, but tales of the region are numerous both In upper Egypt and In Tripoli. Occasionally some of the inhabitants of the little-known region can be seen in the bazaars of Khartum or Algiers, Wadal lies at the head of caravan routes that cross the desert both from the Mediterranean and the Nile. It bears a bad reputation, even for North Africa. It Is known as one of the last strongholds and sources of supply of the slave trade. Its people are divided into conquerors end conquered—the former belonging to a powerful native tribe that holds the Mohammedan faith and the latter Including all manner of very primitive savages. Up ceed and explained to htm that he would get into serloua trouble with his commanding officer if he returned without orders; we wanted to ride, not walk. From his convention we ieurned that he had recently come from England with a draft and had never been under fire, hence hla nervousness. We convinced him that there was not much danger, and he appeared greatly relieved. When we at last turned into the open road we were not so confident. On each side there had been a line of trees, but now, all that was left of them were torn and battered stumps. The fields on each side of the road were dotted with recent shell holes, and we passed several in the road itself. We had gone about half a mile when a shell came whistling through the air and burst in a field about three hundred yards to our right. Another soon followed this one and burst on the edge of the road about four hundred yards in front of us. I told the driver to throw In his speed clutch, as we must be in sight of the Germans. I knew the signs; that battery was ranging for, us, and the quicker we got out of its zone of fire the better. The driver was trembling like a leaf, and every minute I expected him to pile us up in the ditch. I preferred the German fire. In the back Atwell was holding onto the straps for dear life, and was singing at the top of his voice: We beat you at the Marne, We beat you at the Alane, We gave you hell at Neuve Chapelle, And here we are again. Just then we hit a small shell hole and nearly capsized. Cpot a loud yell from the rear I looked behind, and there was Atwell sitting In the middle of the road, shaking his fist at us. His equipment, which he had taken oft upon getting Into the ambulance, was strung out on the ground, and his rifle was tn the ditch. Empey 1« called duty as a member squad. His execution is installment. upon of a description given in th to do firing of the e next (TO BE CONTINUED.) Traits of Bird Lovers. Years ago, during a winter's visit In London, I used to watch the persons who regularly fed the birds In Hylle park. I noticed that most of them were people of apparently humble circumstances, a few pretty close to underfeeding themselves. It was delightful to see how much pleasure they all took in keeping these birds from hunger. Two that I saw each day for a week or .so, evidently husband and wife, I ventured to speak to. Eagerly they talked about the birds as they might have talked about children, noting and relishing individual characteristics. "We have become so fond of them," said the wife. "They recognize us now, many of them, and a few come to us quite fearlessly. We should feel quite uncomfortable if we should miss a day. They are like members of the family that have to be cared for."—Exchange, stream.

A fine, firm, fertile early prepared seedbed insures the largest crop of best quality wheat. When wheat follows oats, barley or other early harvested crop, plow the land from 4 to 6 inches deep as soon as the preceding crop is removed and work down each half day's plowing before leaving the field. Harrow or disk the field after every rain or as often as crust forms, until seeding time to kill weeds and to retain the soil moisture. Ideal seedbed preparation consists in disking, plowing, again disking and harrowing. -Up-to-date farmers are following -this system especially when there is considerable organic matter to he plowed under. Always cut up coarse material before turning it In the furrow, otherwise it interrupts the movement of moisture upward, making an air space which allows drying out. By plowing early and maintaining a soil mulch, moisture U retained which favors quick germination. From one to several weeks will be gained in the sprouting and growth by a thorough soil preparation. The Kansas experiment station found a gain of as much as 21 bushels of wheat when, grown on land plowed 7 inches deep July 15 and then kept well worked until seeding time, orer land that, wavplowed the sane 6ff>th Sep- [ not have funds with which to get home.

One of the latest of the pet theories to go by the board is the one that the use of nny form of commercial fertilizer ultimately runs down the soil and causes it to become very unproductive.

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

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

BUY ON QUANTITY BASIS Alto Obtain Standardized Mixture of Pure Grains, and a Wide Market in Southern Michigan. From Office of Publications, Michigan Agricultural College. Bast Lansing, Mich.—Manager C. H. Beebe of the Tecumseh Co-operative association, sat Ln his office and watched the feed prices soar—but not for long. The "slttin* " habit la not held In very high repute in Lenawee county, of which Tecumseh is a leading couamunal adornment. Finally, when the aforementioned prices had soared to an altitude record that would have caused the late unlamented Baron Richtofen to effervesce at the mouth, the manager snorted and also rose. His snort was such a one as might have been emitted by his agricultural forebears when upon beholding the Redcoats marching up Lexington way in 1776, they dropped their hoes to grub their muskets, It should be explained that Tecumseh 1c ln a dairy district—and the new feed prices, quite naturally, brought consternation even to some of the most efficient of the "milk producers. "This will never do,'- the manager was heard to remark—so forthwith was born the idea which In Tecumseh, at least, is tending to make the dairy feed problem somewhat less menacing. "Let's make up our own feed," the manager suggested or maybe it was the, president or the secretary of the association, but the essential fact is that the suggestion was made, and acted apon. It might be illuminating here to Inaert a word about the Tecumseh Cooperative association, of which Mr. Beebe Is the manager. As its name discloses, It Is a co-operative body with which about 400 Lenawee county farmers are affiliated, and from which they derive such manifold benefits as accrue to those who have discovered the secret of co-operative buying and selling. Of course when such an organization says "Let's make up our own feed," or "saw our own wood," It is usually done. But let Manager Beebe tell about it: "OUT dairymen," said the manager, "have of late been confronted by two problems. In the first place, the prices of dairy feeds have risen to a point where they must be looked upon with the awe due those who perch in high places. Secondly, our dairymen have never been absolutely sure even after they have paid these luxurious prices that they have secured a standard free from chaff and "fillers." "It was only natural that we should try our hand at mixing and marketing a feed of our own, and that is what we are doing. In order to make sure that we weren't going wrong, we sent a committee to the college, and this committee, working with the dairy department of the college, decided upon a standard feed mixture averaging from 21 to 22 per cent protein—Including such ingredients as bran, middlings, g r o w ^ oais, gluten, cottonseed meal, oil meal, hominy and 1 per cent salt. being distributed at cost to our members and to other co-operative associations m southern Michigan, ln place of a hi«h-priced product of uncertain quality .>ur dairymen are now being provided with a standard product at a moderate price." This price, according to quotations from Tecumseh, is $55.50 a ton In bulk, with a charge of $5 more if sacked. Commercial feeds of the same quality are selling from $05 to $70 a ton, which means that the Tecumseh farmer* stand well in the way of suving from 10 to 20 per cent of their feed costs through [heir new venture. The feed is intended to be used with such roughages as corn stover and mixed hay and silage; or if trie dairyman hus clover hay, alfalfa and silager ground corn and oats could be mixed wirh the dairy feed at the rate of twothirds dairy feed to one-third ground outs and corn. Without silage, a little additional meal can be used. The feed itself, of course, is intended by the association to be fed in the same proportions as such dairy feeds are always fed. Meanwhile, wiille feed prices are still clinging to the high spots with the tenacity of a mountain goat, the dairymen of Tecumseh are not worrying so much us many of their neighbors. REPORT "NO-TOP" TUBERS Unfavorable Soil Conditions Produce "Freak" Potatoes. East Lansing, Mich.—Reports of the production of "freak" potatoes have come to the Michigan Agricultural College at various times within the past few weeks from several parts of the state. These 'breaks" produce little potatoes at the eyes Instead of sprouts. "There is some reason for believing that unfavorable soil conditions during the time tubers are formed are reflected ln the crop produced by such potatoes," declares Dr. G. H. Coons, plant pathologist at M. A. C. "In the spring of 1917 many tubers grown during the drought of 1916 produced a few little tubers from the seed piece, but no sprouts at all. Whole fields showed this phenomenon. No one has as yet determined the underlying cause of this behavior by the potato, but the lesson is clear—the seed stock should come from fields and hills that are above suspicion." Quite a lot of "mosaic" Is also being reported from some sections. The most effective remedy for this disease and for others, according to the college, is to set aside a quarter acre or so for the production of seed potatoes and to pull and remove from this plot during the growing season all plants that show signs of infection or other troubles. Potatoes from such a plot, provided they are of the right type and quality, are likely to make good seed because of their freedom from disease. CONTROL OF LETTUCE ROT Find Formaldehyde Checks Blight of Heads at Bay Port. East Lansing, Mich.—A treatment for soft rot of lettuce, a disease which annually is the cause of much loss to Michigan's truck, growers, has been hit upon by Ezra M. Levin of the experiment station of the college. "This soft rot of lettuce, which is ascribed to an organism called Bacterium virldillvtdum, starts first at the tips of the leaves," declares Mr. Levin. "These areas shrivel and curl and are marked off from the healthy WILL TRAIN FARMERETTES tissue by a definite line. With the "We are having these mixed for us I inner leaves the rot progresses very in Chicago from the pure grain. Upon deeply into the head, turning their being received by us here, this feed is [ tender leaves into a gluey slime. Eventually the whole head rots, making the growing of head lettuce ln some seasons very precarious. Losses of 50 per cent in the field are not uncommon. "Remarkable control of the disease can be obtained "by spraying diseased plants with formaldehyde, one pint to 30 gallons of water. In tests in 1916 at Bay Port the disease was checked by the treatment in fields which were about to be given up as a total loss. In 1917 spraying with formaldehyde also completely checked the troubla In an adjoining field, the owner, seeing the success of t h e formaldehyde treatment, sprayed a portion of his field. In the sprayed portion the disease was checked, while ln the onsprayed field the crop showed a high percentage of rotting." II. A. C. Plans Courses in Dairying and Poultry for Young Women. East Lansing, Mich.—College courses to agriculture, which by a sort of unwritten law have in the past been always more or less closed to the feminine sex, will be opened to women this fall by M. A. C. The first intimation of the proposed innovation was afforded a lew days ago ln the recently issued college catalogue, ln which this statement ts found: "Young women enrolling in the de- .pertment of home economics will be permitted, if they so desire, to substitute poultry and dairying for certain of What has heretofore been required By HIRAM MOE GREENS.

Some one of .you—Lemuel Jones I guess It was—said the last time 1 was out to your house for Sunday dinner, that I hardly ever came around and almost never wrote, unless It was about money matters. Well, I guess that Lem is about right, but as the fellow said when some one offered him sympathy because he lost a couple of fingers in a corn shredder, "You can't feel any worse about It thaji I do." I'm sorry that this unfortunate affair that we are in Is taking so much money. But I'm glad right down to the very bottom of my heart that we can raise the money to see the whole thing through. I know you will raise It—but we'll come to that later. The other day I was in New York and I went out to see one of those big transports for soldiers. There were little tugs all around her waiting to get her headed straight Into the stream and further down, near the Statue of Liberty some battleships "were waiting to convoy the transport. It was an Interesting sight. It meant so much. And I couldn't keep my Adam's apple in its place, and there was a kind of a mist before my eyes—until through the tears I was trying to hold back, I saw Eb Root's boy, George, looking over the rail on the top deck. The last time I had seen him he was cultivating corn on that ten acre piece down on the state road next to Asa Hafford's, Somehow when I saw that boy up there I didn't want to cry. My blood got warm Instead of cold and every muscle in my body was as taut as a violin string. My heart Just swelled in jay body. In all my life I never felt so jroud and so much like being able to Ight. as I did then. And I said to myself. "There goes Tb Root's boy, George. He Is only one »oy in a million and more that are ver there now. But there are others .Ike him, and the folks back home they •'ill stand back of him. and all, everyhlng. that he and his comrades, and 'he ships and the men and the flag that 'ies over them stood for." I could not feel and I do not feel «ow, that the folks back home would raste anything that might help to •ring George Root back. I know Just is well as I know my own name that ieorge Root and the boys like him rould not offer themselves as the sureme sacrifice to our cause, and those or whom they were fighting be small nd niggardly about doing their part. During this coming year it will be necessary for ns to spend twenty-four dlllon dollars. It Is a tremendous sum. iut Is not too much to pay for a world .t peace, with us all as free as God ntended we should be.

Peanuts and pean .t butter are foods which take the place of meats and are cheap in price. Various other nuts, when reasonable in price and equally nutritious, should be used often to take the place of meat Peanut L o t f.— Soak a quart of fine bread crumbs ^n milk ; mix with it a cup of shelled peanuts finely ground; add an egg well beaten, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix as the usual meat loaf and bake about as long. Serve with tomato sauce. Cook a pint of tomatoes with half an onion, four cloves, a piece of bay leaf, sprig of parsley and a blade of mace. When well cooked, strain. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter ln a saucepan, add a slice of onion, brown and add two tablespoonfuls of flour. When smooth add the tomato; season with salt and pepper and serve. Pea Timbales.—Cook a pint of peas until tender, the^n mash through a colander and beat the pulp to a paste. To this add two well-beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of melted fat, onion Juice; pepper and salt to season. When well blended, place in buttered molds and bake until done. Peas on Toast—Prepare a rich, white sauce, stir in a few cooked peas, season well and serve on buttered toast. This is a simple and easy dish to prepare, but most wholesome and nutritious. Asparagus prepared in the same way with a hard-cooked egg or two is a well-relished dish and very sustaining. Scalloped Cheese.—Cheese in its different forms is an excellent substitute for meat. Cottage cheese, which may be made in the home, is a most versatile one to use in many ways. Take any good flavored cheese, cut in small pieces and use ln layers in a baking dish with small cubes of bread; repeat until the dish Is full. Beat two eggs, add salt and pepper to taste and mix with pint of milk. Pour this custard over the bread and cheese and bake until set. Serve hot as a lunch* "»on or supper dish.

Cheese is so nutritious, an ounce being equal to two ounces of meat, without its waste. Cheese is particularly good with starchy foods and foods lacking in fat and flavor. C h e e s e s h o u l d be bought ln such quantities that there need be no waste, as it molds very easily. Grate all the small pieces left over and put them In a glass with a tight cover; keep cool and dry. Cooking cheese at too high a temperature makes It difficult of digestion. When possible, cook It at a low temperature or in the hot mixture just long enough to melt It. A tablespoonful of cheese will add flavor to some dish, and not even a scrap should be thrown away. Fried Cheese Sandwiches,—These are sufficiently sustaining to serve as a main dish with a, salad. Take thin slices of cheese, sprinkle with pepper and salt or other seasoning if liked, put as a filling Into sandwiches, then brown the sandwiches on both sides in a little hot olive oil. Cheese Balls.—Add a dash of tobasco sauce to a small amount of cottage cheese which has been well seasoned; make pink with paprika and roll into small balls. Roll the balls in finely minced black walnut meats. Serve on lettuce with French dressing. Hashed Brown Potatoes With Cottage Cheese. Chop cold boiled potatoes fine and season well with s a l t pepper and onion juice. Mix with enough milk to help brown when turned into' the pan, which is greased with some sweet fat or oil. Cook the potatoes slowly without stirring until they are brown underneath. Meanwhile mix cream with cottage cheese until It spreads easily, adding chopped onion, chives, parsley or pimentos, a little left-over ham, or chili sauce, and spread oyer the potatoes; then fold like an omelet and turn out on a hot platter at ones. T*e a d d flavor, if not llkad In the cheese, may be removed by the addition of a.pinch of soda when mixing the cheese with the The Citizens Mutual Automobile Insurance Company Howell, Michigan WILLIAM E.

WM. S B E H A F B R i- v £# *-•;:#$ Profits and Prices Profits may be considered from two angles: l$t—Their effect on prices; 2nd—A* a return to investors. When profits are small as compared with sales, they have little effect on prices. Swift & Company's profits are only a fraction of a cent per pound on all products sold, and if eliminated entirely would have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company paid 10 per cent dividends to over 20,000 stockholders out of its 1917 profits. It also had to build extensions and improvements out of profits; to finance large stocks of goods made necessary by unprecedented requirements of the United States and Allied Governments; and to provide protection against the day of declining markets. /« it fair to call this profiteering ?

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

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

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

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

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

After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he 1a sent to training quarters In France, where he first hearB the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties." After a brief period of training Empey's company is sent Into the front-line trenches, where he takee his first turn on the Are step While the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men nnder hot Are.

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

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

Munsell lla>y Kennedy's A c c o u n t of an A t t e m p t to C a p t u r e a Y a n k T r e n c h . Toura, France, July 9, 1918. Dear Kit and all: Knowing your useful- ' ness I trust that you will dictate this letter to the family, or rather ita important part. Now, 1 have been in a hospital for nearly' five weeks, but am all 0. K. now. * I had spinal meningitis. 1 was in bed a little over two weeks and was walking around in three weeks. 1 had a very mild case, so the doctors tell me but if that was mild 1 don't want a severe attack. . 1 was taken about five o clock m the afternoon and at nine 1 was m the hospital and at ten they operated on me. They told me that they got it just in time. . . , , I am in a French hospital and have two French doctors and one American. The French know how to handle this trouble better than the Americans because it is an old thing with them. They have French sisters for tmrses. They are about forty years old and they are certainly fine to boys, especially to the Americans. The French people like the America nt very much. I shall never forget the eister that took care of me. She stayed with me all the time when I was the worst. She was so good to me all the time and couldn't do enough for me. I am going to get her picture and send it to you people. It me left with only one good esr but he doctor has nearly restored the hearing so you see I am lucky to get out without' more trouble. I sure am a lucky guy; having lota of experiences. I maybe here in the hospital for several weeks yet but I am fine now, only weak and it takes a long time to get back to normal again so all I have do is stay here and take it easy. I can leave the hospital every day now and I take long rides into the country and visit many places of considerable intere s t There are many small towns all through the rtoontry. I cannot walk I much yet but am getting stronger every Those two letters I wrote home on that cheap stationery were written while I was in bed. You can tell for they were not interesting at all and they were short. I did not get any mail for four weeks while I was sick and a short time before so you can imagine how I felt with people who could not speak English but my French made it lucky for me. There is another American inhere now and I have to talk for him. We go ou t with a French captain and enjoy our selves very nuch. I get my mail very regular now so everything is fine. I do wish that you people could see some of the wonderful sights that I haye seen. This old world is Borne globe when you wander over it as much as I have lately. , Let me tell you about my Fourth. Our sister said to ua in the morning: "This is a Mg day for the American boys and you two poor fellows in a hospital far from home." So she went to work and decorated a room with flowers and French and Amereian flags and had a small table fixed with flowers and flags and gave us a real French feed. She fixed the daintiest little dishes for us. She sure did enjoy getting it ready and believe roc we enjoyed it also All of the sisters in the hospital came in white we were eating our dinner and had me tell them what the Americans do on the Fourth. I told them about the kfds with firecrackers, etc and how they did laugh! They think the U. S. A. a wonder fuL In the afternoon I went for a rid* and w nt bathing in the Loire river so I enjoyed myself very much. Say, Albert I had real Fronch wine for my dinner th* Fourth. You'd better come to France and bring Uncle Mark with you. The wine is great! Now answer by return mail. \ ou don't know how good mail seems heVe from home. Tell every little thing; j that is what I enjoy. I received youc letter witi the clip tags, Aunt Maude, and will send Mar iorie some cards soon. Now don't forget to answer soon. Alger J, Hall Co. C, 1st Army Hdq. Reg. American £. F. Wednesday, July 3 Dear Mother and Father:— I received your letter of June 4th last Saturday and was mighty glad to get i t We have just been out of the trenches a little while and as we have been traveling ever since. This is the first chance I've had to answer it. Trench life isn't so bad, especially where we were there was very little fighting going on. The artillery on both sides did a little shelling but the infantry just stood guard. I saw but five Germans all the time I was in. Two of them were more than a mile away*. I saw them throigh a pair of glasses. The other ones were out in our wire; they were dead ones. They were part of a hunch who came over the top to drive out the Yanks. The number of Huns was twice that of the Yanks. They were all equipped to stay and half of them did stay. The Americans killed more men than we had in our line. I guess that's going some. Every time the^ mix it the Huns catch Hell. Life in the trenches is not all sunshine. Sometimes we have to hike all night long with pack, rifle aud ammunition. At other times we have to stand from dark till daylight on sguard without making any noise and have to keep steady watch out over the top. The nights here are cold and when you are relieved you are half frozen. I am detailed as first aid man and litter bearer now. We take an hoar's instruction in first aid work every day. I think 1 will like it as I always had a liking for it. I wonder why Sue or Ed don't write. I've written them at least three times since I've been here but have not heard from them at alL I just got a ten page letter from Julia the same day I got yours. Tell Nan and Mae I'd like to hear from them also Charlie and Claude snd WU). Well dear parents, I'll close now hoping to hear from yeu again shortly. May God take care of you to keep well and happy.

Jones, who reside on the Martin farm north west of Anderson was injured so severely that death soon followed. The little fellow had been riding with his father on a load of gravel. Mr. Jones lifted him oft* before unloading^ and in some way the boy fell underneath a wheel just as the horses started jp. He was terribly crushed and although Dr. C. L.

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

V 5 ^ m PINCKNEY DISPATCH WASIWGim SJDEUGmS Washington Residents Fleecing the Patriotic WASHINGTON.—"Most persons are greedy.'' The words were spoken by a Washington woman who had been observing with some disgust the way many of her fellow Wttshlngtouians were exploiting the war situation. "Some I know," she said, "have an apartment war ion *rw«* A ««mti « * THIS that they used to rent unfurnished for $4g a jaonth. They have furnished it simply and tastefully and the/ are now getting |150 a month. I call that performance simple extortion." It is, obviously, extortion. And it LB a typical case. Many of the sufferers from the extortion have come here out of patriotic motives and are working for the government either without pay or for very much less than they are used to getting. A capable man came here and offered his services to one of the most important of all the war boards. He was told that he would be given a position If he would agree to take 40 per cent of his average salary for the last three years. He did agree and he went to work with a will and he wrote to his wife and children that he would send for them Just as soon as he could find the right kind of house. He finally was driven to thinking that it would be best for him to take an apartment that was furnished. But he couldn't find one. At this point he decided to go home. The government lost an able worker through not taking care of him properly. Now it realizes and It has provided an agency to see that the war workers are properly boused. RAISE LEGHORNS FOR FAMILY USE Meat Possibilities of Fowl Have Been Neglected by Most Poultry Breeders. AVERAGE BIRD IS TOO SMALL It Would Bo Profitable for Poultry Raisers to Give More Attention to These Cog Producer*—Make Splendid Broiler*. With Blood in His Eye Dog Cop Seeketh the Sly THIS is the tale*of some cops and a hound; a taxi adventure, and the district dog pound. The cops are now mad; the hound Is quite dead, while one taxi chauffeur is some bucks ahead. Murphy, dog cop at the capltol grounds, espied a big bulldog while making his rVATCH MJE 1 e r r A KEWARO Ffft tHlS ( rounds. He picked up the canine with great expectation of fetching to owner with hopes of remuneration. The other policeman with hopes of some fun, with much speed and action to phone booths did run, while Officer Boyd said to Murphy, you see, "you call up and find who the owner might be." When Murphy called up, the wires were "pulled," and Murphy, unknowing, was .thoroughly "bulled," for instead of the owner the officer spoke to the other policemen, "In on" the joke. He asked for reward; the answer was "yes," and Murphy was given a "phony" address. Exultant, the victim the bulldog did grab, and made a wild dash for a near taxicab. The address he shouted and oft* they did go, whereat quiet reigned for an hour or so. Later Murphy, the dog and the taxi came back, with Murphy bewailing— alas and alack !—that the address he'd sought he never had found and the confounded mutt he would send to the pound. Murphy was busted ; he hadn't a cent, so the chauffeur to Officer Calkins he sent. Calkins, amazed, heard the taximan blare that he was expected to pay Murphy's fare. At that there were signs of a violent fight, till the capltol cop captain hove Into sight. So Calkins, bewildered, dug deep in his jeans and greased the chauffeur's palm with sundry odd beans. There endeth the yarn of the cops and the mutt, the taxi, the joke, in fact everything—BUT— The fact that Cop Calkins is waiting to know by whose low-down scheme he was ordered to blow the most of his pay for a darned taxi-toot and then get a call from the captain to boot. (Prepared toy the United State* Department or Agriculture.) The Leghorn fowl owes its popularity so largely to Its egg-producing capacity that the meat possibilities of the breed have been neglected by moat Leghorn breeders. Such failure to recognize the potential food value of birds kept to produce a special food product may have been excusable under prewar conditions, but in the present need of utilizing to the full every capacity of every food-producing animal, breeders of Leghorns should give due attention to the development of their table qualities. Discussion of the meat value of a breed must note and take due account of the fact that the markets—that is, the dealers and consumers—do not recognize breed differences in poultry, except as in a few localities particular breeds may be generally kept and may become known locally, or in special trade lines for excellent table quality. The poultry breeder, therefore, In planning how to make the most of the meat values of his stock considers what market demands can be filled with poultry of the breed which he keeps. Average Leghorns Too Smalt. Average Leghorn hens weigh only about 3 pounds alive. Many of them will dress only 2 to 2½ pounds. This is not a desirable size for a table fowl, being too much under the weights (4 to 5 pounds) which most people prefer when buying a fowl. Besides being small herself, the average Leghorn produces chicks so small that they do not remain very soft-meated until they have reached the size the market demands in broilers, and so the cockerels cannot be pounds or more are heavy enough to meet the demand for dressed fowls a little under the weights generally preferred, and there is enough demand for fowls at this weight to take all the supply. The cockerels bred from hens of 4 pounds weight and over, if properly grown, will make broiler size as quickly as the chicks of most of the larger breeds. They will also be soft-meated up to about 2 to 2½ pounds' weight. After that tixey are apt to harden quickly and their flesh is not so tender. Leghorn cockerels produced from very large males and females—that is, from males that weigh upward of 6¼ pounds and females upward of 5¼ pounds—frequently keep quite softmeated until they reach 4 to 6 pounds weight Such birds make very satisfactory small roasters for home use, though they will not sell as well on the market as birds of the same weight of a slower growing breed. Growing Leghorns for Meat Even when good-sized Leghorns are used for breeding, the chickens will not make good poultry unless they are well grown. In a measure this is true of any chickens; those that are poorly grown never make the development or have the table quality of those that are well grown. To secure good growth, Leghorn chicks must not be overcrowded In brooders or coops, and as soon as they are large enough to range over an extended piece of ground should be given as wide range as possible and at the same time fed liberally. Chicks so treated will grow twice as fast as those that are reared under the intensive conditions to which the greater number of Leghorn chicks are sub jected.

HIGH-PRODUCING GARDEN Girl War Workers Are Not Afraid of the Dark THAT prewar girl who was " 'fraid to go home in the dark" is very much among the missing. Girls, especially war workers in Washington, think nothing about going about alone late at night. There's so much to do that girls cannot be bothered with escorts. They found that the bugbear around the dark corner hasn't materialized. Especially is this true of the group that Is working under the direction of .Miss Stella Osbourne at the District campaign headquarters of the Red Cross. s There are girls from several government departments that have been doing clerical work for the Red Cross every night since early in April except the night after the parade when they all were pegged out with marching. They are preparing for the big drive that is to take place soon for the purpose of obtaining funds for, the Red Cross. They hare a complete organisation. A girl was chosen by the chief clerk in each government department to be a member of the clerical committee. Under each of these girls Is a corps of six assistants. Those in turn have reserves. As the headquarters would not hold all the workers some of them work at night at the library of congress under the direction of Mrs. Woods. Others are at the interstate commerce commission at night, and still others are burning the midnight oil for Uncle Sam in the post office. lMfir*Tf (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Are you sure that your garden Is producing as much as it is capable of doing? A half-acre garden, if properly cared for, will produce sufficient vegetables for the average family's use. It will produce far greater returns per acre than can be realized from an equal area devoted to general farm crops. But it is necessary to give the garden proper care and attention if you expect maximum crops. Farmers' Bulletin 937, recently published by the United States department of agriculture, whl^h will be sent free to any who ap- Jl 0 e i During the past year there has been a greater demand for farm lands in Western Canada than for a number of years past. The demand is for good farm lands improved or unimproved. And at an increase of from ten to fifteen dollars an acre more than the same lands could be had for a couple of years ago. The rise in the price of every kind of produce grown on these Western lands, in some cases to double and in others to treble the price prevailing before 1914, have attracted and are attracting in ever-increaalng proportion* the men who are anxious to invest their money, and apply their energies) in the production of wheat for which the allied nations are calling with voices which grow louder and more anxious as the months roll on, and the end of the war still seems distant. Beef, and more especially bacon, are required in ever greater quantities, and the price of all these things has soared, until it is not a question of what shall we produce, but how much can we produce. Even should this world calamity be brought to a close In six months from now, it will be years before normal pre-war prices prevail, and meantime self-interest if not patriotism is turning the minds of thousands back to the land. The inevitable consquence has been the rise in values of land, especially wheat land. The Calgary Herald, commenting on these conditions says: "From inquiries made from leading; dealers in farming and ranching propn ertles, and from the information gathered In other ways, It is known that the value of all land—wheat landmixed farming properties, and even, good grazing land—has risen in the last two years 40 per cent. Wheat lands in some districts have practically doubled In price. One dealer in farm lands recently sold three sections for $70 an acre, one extra good quarter went as high as $90, and another brought $100. These are, of course, Iar^e prices, but that they will be equaled or even surpassed in the near future is beyond question.

Lace fa Again Fashionable and Often Family Heirlooms Are Used— The Going-A way Gown. Though no one begrudges the bride of this year her traditional bridal panoply of ivory satin, lace and tulle, it la not expected of her to provide an elaborate and expensive trousseau of handsome evening gowns and stunning afternoon costumes, states a fashion writer. The sentiment of the times Is against display In dress, and this year's dearth of formal entertainments, of the usual sequence of balls and dinners and house parties precludes the necessity of a large supply of costly clothes for anybody—even for the bride who Is supposed to enjoy a special program of gaieties in the first months of her married life. Honeymoons are being cut short this year—as a rule the bridegroom, after a brief furlough for his wedding and the ensuing trip of a week or ten days, goes back to his regiment or to his ship and the bride settles down quietly with her home people—or near them—and though she goes out formally, has naturally not much heart for formal affairs. The wedding day costume, however, is another matter. It would be an unnatural bride who did not claim her full privilege of bridal panoply, perhaps claim it the more determinedly because robbed of other privileges of brides in normal times. A woman can be a bride but once, and even in wartime she wants to wear the trailing white satin, the pearls, the orange blossoms and the symbolic veil which may be hers on this one great occasion— and this one only—of all her life. Many a beautiful wedding gown has been worn this year and the summer wedding gowns promise to be no less beautiful than those of midwinter. Ivory white satin, the traditional "bride" satin, is the favored material for the wedding gown and though the spring models keep to the slender silhouette now insisted upon by fashion, there are many lovely ways of breaking the straight, slim lines with soft draperies and panels of airy fabric. Lace is again fashionable on the bridal gown and some are trimmed with rare old point and Venice lace^ have come down as family heirlooms. Of the newer laces, shadow lace is the favorite, because of Its delicate texture and lovely draping qualities. Embroidered chiffon is used also, and pearl embroidered chtffon is specially distinguished. Every bride nowadays seems to seek some individual and original veil arrangement and many are the interesting caps and coronets of lace or tulle from which the veil falls at the back to the end of the train. The Russian cap, rising to a peak at the front, has been used, and various sorts of peasant cap, modified or exaggerated in line and carried out in lace, tulle or silver tissue. The veil now covers, or almost covers, the hair as a modern hat does and is no longer poised or perched high on the head, caught by a puff of tulle or a cluster of orange blossoms. Second only in importance to the bridal gown Is the smart costume in which the bride bids farewell to her friends and starts away to begin her married life. The going-away gown, as it is always called, is less often a gown, than a tailored suit of formal and elaborate type; sometimes it Is a gown covered by a very smart topcoat— when the bride starts her wedding trip in a motorcar. This practical costume will moat likely, this spring, be a* tailored suit of dark blue tricot serge made with a straight plain skirt and dashing Uttle jacket GAY BAYADERE SASH IS WORN Wide Ribbon Decoration Cornea In Rich Color Combinations; Nice With Eton SuK.

It is in maroon shade with a large roll collar that forms a bodice effect and ties in front under the cape. The fringe Is another new note. The cape is very charming and there Is little doubt that It will be one of the favorites for the summer and fall seasons. In loose box or Eton style and the bride wtll certainly possess one or two attractive waistcoats to do the suit justice; one waistcoat perhaps of dotted foulard silk, the other of beige silk poplin, or of pearl gray faille silk. Lace Trims Chanel Coat A coat dress from Chaned Is a very good Illustration of the lace-andwool alliance. The material is of rustbrown wool jersey. At the sides are hung half-tunics of heavy filet, the pattern defined with satin and outlined all about the hem with a bias of the latter. There is a bit of a waistcoat, of the jersey, crossed surpllcewise and caught in the string belt of the material. The lace reappears in a deep marine collar that hangs almost to the waistline, but which is not visible from the front. And, strange to say, the lace on wool jersey does not seem to detract from the wearing qualities of the model, or to make the latter too dressy for semisporfr occasions. A Knitting Help.

Address all Inquiries to William A Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, I1L, and only enclose three-cent stamp for reply. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Fifty or sixty years ago some one conceived the Idea that a stove with a jacket around it, placed in the basement, with an opening above it, could be made to heat a house. He thought so well of the idea that he made a model, drew plans and specifications and secured a patent. The heater was built. Because of the jacket an inflow of air was needed. This was provided by an air duct leading Into the space between the jacket and the stove from out of doors. Heat poured through the opening above, but for some reason the house wouldn't get warm. After experimenting a while, the inventor gave it up and allowed his patent to lapse*. That man probably never knew how near he came to helping solve a modern heating problem. Either he did not know or overlooked the fact that in heating a house, or a store, or any type of building, the air heated by the fire must displace the cold air in that house, or store building. He bad neglected to provide an outlet for the cold air and, in consequence, his invention was a failure. Recognition of this fact made possible the furnace which came after. A "cold air register," placed In a central posltraggeated that the first paragraph, or rather the nrat two paragraphs of this article be read again. The pipeless furnace wtts Invented in Civil war times. But the modern Inventor had the benefit of the scientific facts of the circulation of air and the expert* eoce of the furnace men in the application of these facta. All htt had to do was to get the cold air out of the building, so It could be replaced with heated air. Circulation Is Provided. This he did by making a register, one section of whl^h waa the counter* part of the cold air register and the other of the hot air Into the building and at the same time sucked out the cold air. In other words, it provided circulation. If you are n9t an expert on heating devices, you will undoubtedly have a lot of questions iu your mind. The writer hud. but he had an advantage over you—he asked thera of men who are experts, and got the answers. They are now passed on to you. "How," one man was asked, "can a house, say one and a half stories high, containing six rooms, be heated from one register?" Then it was explained. No attempt will be made to quote the expert literally, but here Is what he said, in substance : The modern house Is open. That Is, there are practically no rooms on the first floor, with the exception of the kitchen, that are shut off from the others. This is necessary to make a pipeless furnace efficient. Warm air rises and as it rises It forces the cooler air towards the floor. When the heated air hit.-" the ceiling it does not stop, but continues to wherever it can find air colder than Itself. Tills continuous stream of heated air eventually drives out the colder air and heats the room. That's one room. "How," the prober continued, seeking defects in the system, "can this furnace heat any part of the house except the room that contains the register?" Scientific Basis of System. Now what follows is the scientific basis upon which is founded the success of the pipeless furnace. The pipes which carry the heated air from the ordinary type of furnace to the rooms above are usually ten inches in diameter. The area of a ten-inch pipe Is one-half a square foot. One of these pipes leads to each room Section Through Five-Room Bungalow Showing How House Is Heated by Pipeless Furnace. don In the building, "sucked" oat the cold air aa -he heated air waa discharged into the rooms. But her*, too, the inventor and the manufacturers who produced theae furnace* overlooked something Heat Wasted on Basement In the basement a maze of pipes waj strong, each pipe leading to a room above.

Thus, all the heat that can be Introduced Into a single room through a pipe of this character must come through this small opening. In contrast the area of a doorway In an ordinary home Is 17 square feet and 35 times as much as a pipe opening. A double dejor U twice as large and If there happens to be colonnades, or no doors, there is Just that much more area for the Induction of heat Thus Instead of carrying the heat Into a room through a small pipe you carry It In.through the door openings. Or, rather, you don't carry It in, but It goes in whether you want it to or not In the house taken as an example-— six room*, one story and a half—40 per cent of its area Is basement 40 per cent on the first floor and 20 per cent on the second. Theae proportions, of course, differ In different types of buildings. The percentage* in Individual cases are easy to figure.

Everybody here lives in dugouts with about six feet of alternating layers of logs and dirt over their heads. My light is a tallow candle. All dugouts are dark, damp, cold places infested with rata and mice. Back of us is telephone exchange 35 feet underground. This is considerad to be shell proof. There are dugouts around here capable of holding 260 men. This is a queer war around here in some respecta. People live as near to the front line as we will let them and they plant crops and cut hay among the barbed wire entanglement* of the reserve positions. We are Hituated in an extensive wood, so we cun move about quite freely in the daytime so long as the enemy does not detect any movement. But if they do, over come the, shells. On the top of the hill near our headquarters is a good sized church with only four or five houses around it. But down in the valley there is a village. The steeple of the church was knocked off long ago From the church to a church inside the enemy lines is only 2000 yards. Th« village inside the enemy lines is all knocked to pieces. Regular servicees are held in the church at the top of the hill. One morning the Boches shelled the cross roads near the church. Two shells hit the stone wall around it and one went through the root. The people at service rcattered into the bornbproofs and cellars. The church roof has several bomb holes in it and the walls are i marked with shrapnel. Outside in the • yard is the military cemetery where many French soldiers are buried. Also it contains the grave of the first sol \er in the 32nd Div, killed in action. In about 100 acres of woods around there is more barbed wire than there is in Michigan . It is diffcult to get through the woods unless you know where the gups are. A couple of days a ?o there waS a French balloon up behind our lines. A German plane rushed at it and fired a shot through it and it went up in smoKe. The observer had to take to his parachute.

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

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

This school will be similar to the Ann Arbor Army School where Claude Kennedy and Paul Kuhn have just finshed their training and who left last Tuesday for an encampment in the south for practical experience in thsir branch of the army, Their exact destination is unknown to them. There is a aimilar training school at the M. A. C., Lansing-, where 600 young men are studying auto trucks and military tactics. They gave exhibition drills and played their army gamos for the Michigan Rural editors who met at Lansing for three days this month and the spectators were loud in their praise of the young soldiers who are selected for mechanical training.
