The evening session was a noteworthy occasion, the address by John C. Ketcham on "The Cali to Social Service”, being -characterized by all who heard it as eclipsing any former effort' made by Mr. Ketcham in Nashville, which is his old home town and where If for no other rea­ son be always tries to do his beat. The vocal work of Miss Frances Burch was most highly appreciated. The watch-night service of the later evening-was splendidly attended and was an occasion of much joy and pleasure. The Mid-Winter Picnic, Monday evening, was a "bumper." The big church and the Community House were filled with people during the evening, the spread was all that could be desired, the service excel­ lent, and all these but served to pre­ pare in a mild sort of way for the masterly address made following the repast, by Dr. John G. Benson of De­ troit. Dr. Benson had for his sub­ ject. "The Community Church.” He told important truths which could not fail to go home to the hearts of those present, yet they were pre sented in such a pleasant way as to leave only gqod effects, without any sting of pain. Miss Burch also sang at this session, and was ac­ corded a most enthusiastic reception. Tueday evening’s musical also test­ ed the capacity of the house, and was more than worthy of the magni­ ficent audience. Every number on the program waa worth}’ of special mention, which time and space for­ bid.

The little white nurse, -weary but wide-eyed, sai silently fanning a wounded soldier. * He had been brought In during the day with a shattered arm and a bul­ let wound in the side and now he tossed feverish and delirious oh his mattress bed, one of twp dozen <n the ruins of the old mission. The beat was almost unbearable, not a breath of air stirring in that desert region. The little nurse was thinking as she fanned, and this was what it was all about: It was cherry time and a girl and a man were out under the crimson­ heart tree. The girl had a color in her cheeks almost as rich as that of the cherries the young loan had hung over each of her ears, and her lips, juicestained, were too tempting to resist “I love you, Polly I” he declared. Im­ petuously seizing her in his arms. “Tell me all over again." *1 love you. Will I" she declared hap­ pily, snuggling up close to his breast "And you’ll never, never forget 1 Promise1” “I promise!” “And no matter what anybody ever says, you’ll never go back on me. Cross your heart, Polly!" ' And Polly solemnly crossed her heart That evening at dinner Polly’s fa-\ ther said: “It looks as though we are going to have war. The militia has been ordered out." Poor white Polly had dropped her fork and the cheeks that had matched the cherries had gone white as the tablecloth. For Will was captain In the local Guard and that meant—oh, what? “Are you sure, daddy?" “Yes, Pauline. I’m sorry to say It’s true." “Whnt’s wrong. Polly?* exclaimed her mother. “Nothing," she answered with dry lips, “except that I was thinking that some of the boys we know will nave to go." “I suppose so. Will Fielding has something to do with it, hasn't he? Why, Polly—" For the girl was un­ able to endure It any longer, had rushed from the table to her room. She knew her parents were discussing her behavior and that her conduct had been as good as a confession, but what of It? She loved Will Fielding and there wasn’t any reason why they shouldn’t know. But, later, her mother came to her and kindly but firmly told her that she was too young to fall in love, and, be­ sides, that although personally she liked Will well enough, the family was new and she couldn't consent to a daughter of hers marrying Into a fam­ ily no one knew anything about And so things went on for three days. Then something occurred, some­ thing dreadful. Polly had never learned the exact truth, for no one would tell her. It was something about the diamond ring her mother lost She had dressed for a party and gone to the kitchen before leaving to tell Nora about dinner. Finding that her rings interfered with her gloves, she had drawn them off and laid them •on the table in the kitchen. Intending >to drop them into her bag- But she was half way to the car before she re­ membered them and returned. Norah, In the meantime, had taken a basket and gone out for cherries for pies, leav­ ing the doors open. That was all they would tell her, except that when her mother returned the two-carat diamond was gone, and that night her parents made, her promise never to see Will again. And on the other nand, the company marched away with never a goodby from Will, nor so much as a salute from him as he had passed. The sick man moaned and muttered something. “Polly! Good-by, PollyT he said. “Won't you say good-by? What's the matter with everybody?" More mut­ tering and then: “Nobody was at home, PUly. I cut across the back way and Duke ran into the kitchen. I chas?*! him out. and he tore your mother’s silk dress. She hates Duke. Poor Duke! Good-by, Polly, dear!"' “Will,” breathed the little nurse softly, “live for my sake, W1IL There was some mistake I am sure, and It will come out all right.*” Dawn came swift and hot and a horse galloped near. It was a messen­ ger with mail. There were letters for Polly, one from home and she opened it eagerly. “Dear little girl," wrote her mother, “I hope you are safe and well and not working too hard. Fa­ ther and I are so anxious about you," and so on. Then, after other bits of news, “You'll be surprised to hear I found my ring. It was very queer the way It was lost We found It stick­ ing to the bottom of the old cherry basket Nora must have set the basket down on my rings that day and the diamond one caught It’s been In the cellar ever since until today, when she found the ring. De you ever hear of Will Fielding? We’ve Inquired about his family, Polly dear, and find the Fielding# come of splendid old New England stock. If Will comes home safe and sound and my little girl re­ turns soon, daddy and I won’t say a word If you still care for each other. Wasn’t that a fearful battle at Torestos?" and so on. The letter slipped to the floor. “Thank God!” whispered the little nurse. 4Copvrt«ht.

Yours for a good year, Feighner & Barker SWTER FOR TWO By EARL tlLVERE. ____________ II For quite a time before she bccaxM engaged to Jack Abbott. (Hive Alktnson had displayed a cordial liking for Bert Overton. But after she had given her word to Jack. Bert had gradually’ been forgotten, until, shortly after her marriage, his name was little more than u memory. But Jack Abbott nursed a deep resentment toward LM man he had defeated in the race for Olive’s band. “I never liked him and I never will," he said. "I hope that we shall never see him again." “There is really no need to w’orry," Mrs. Jack answered, placidly. "Bert has gone into business in Chicago and doesn't expect to come East for years." After that the other man’s name was not mentioned in the Abbott household. Mr. and Mrs. Jack lived In blissful peace. But one afternoon in early summer Mr. Jack reached home at about three o’clock. He had hoped to find Olive ready and willing for a set or two of tennis before supper, but he was doomed to disappointment No Olive awaited him. “Did Mrs. Abbott say where she was going?” he asked the maid. “Yes, sir," the girl answered. “She’a gone to the city and will not be back until this evening. She told me to tell you that you had better eat supper alone.” Mr. Jack frowned. Tennis seemed suddenly to have lost its charm, so he wandered into the library in search of a book with which to while away the time. On the open desk „ In the corner he saw a letter addressed,io his wife. The handwriting looked vnfamlllar, and he absentmindedly' picked up the envelope. Moved by a sudden impulse, he slipped out the single sheet of paper it contained and glanced over its contents. Suddenly his eyes contracted, his lips forming in a straight, thin line. He read the letter carefully, from be­ ginning to end, an expression of won­ der on his clean-cut face. .. “Dear Olive," he read, "I shall be id New York Wednesday for a day’s vis­ it Then I must hurry back to Chi­ cago. But before I go. I simply must see you. Will you meet me at Man­ ley's at four o’clock? We can have a little supper for two and talk over old times. Hurriedly yours, Bert.” For a long time Mr. Jack Abbott gazed at th^ writing before him. It seemed hard to believe,that his wife would disregard his wishes; would ac­ cept an Invitation from a man whom she knew he did not approve of. But she had done it The letter and her absence were conclusive evidence. Mr. Jack neither read nor played that afternoon. He walked from the library to the porch and into the li­ brary again. When Mrs. Jack reached home, ho had worked himself Into an unusual state of mind. But he resolved to be calm. ’Hello, dear!" There was not the slightest hint of guilt In Mrs. Jack's big blue eyes. “I'm sorry I couldn't get home, but I promised a very dear friend that I would dine out." “Where did you go?” “To Manley’s." “Oh, a supper for two, eh?" He could not keep the sneer out of his voice, and she looked at him in won­ der. “What's the matter. *dear?" she asked. “Didn't you want me to goF He smiled grimly at her apparent innocence. “You know bow I feel about such tilings," he answered, with a hint of dignity in his tone. “I didn't think you’d care at all." She seemed puzzled. “Didn't think I'd care!" He flushed angrily. “Other people do it" Her tone was a trifle defiant “I don't see why I should not?" “Yes." he said cynically, “in these modern times a woman may do al­ most anything. But you know how I feel toward the man. and I think that you mlg|}t at least have said some­ thing to me about'it before meeting him." "I don't know what you mean.” She looked at him wonderingly. “There’s no use in beating about tsie bush." He arose. “Perhaps I shouldn't have done it but I read a letter L yours which you left on the table."

When you have a cut, a scratch, a bruise or any other kind of Injury, paint It with iodine. As soon as in­ jured, dip a toothpick with cotton rolled on the end of it in the iodine, and paint over the wound without washing. The Iodine will kill all the germs in the dirt that gets into the wound, while washing only drives the germs farther into the flesh. When painted with the iodine, wrap the in­ jured part in^a clean cloth for a cou­ ple of days.

FORD Are You Going to Drive a New FORD Car This .Summer? If you expect to do so, let us advise you what to do. We have instructions from the Ford factory that we will not be allowed to stock cars this winter as in former years, but that the cars must be sold ready for delivery before we can get them. The factory advises us that the south and south-west have orders in for over 100,000 cars, which the factory is behind. We now have over sixty names on our books of customers who have advised us that they were going to buy Ford cars in the spring. Now kindly be advised that if you expect to drive a Ford car, it will be necessary for you to buy soon, for the reason that when the spring rush is on we will not be able to get more than one-third of the cars that we can use. Place your order now and have your Ford car delivered, and then you will have it for the spring. If you wait until spring you will'be disappointed as a great many were last fall, for the reason that we could not get more than one-third of the cars that we sold. There is also another reason, and that is we are not at all certain that the price will stay where it is. You have noticed that all other cars have advanced their price from $50 to $100 each.

She died at her home three milrs from Nashville, Mich., Jan. 19, 1917. aged 72 years, 3 months and 23 days. She was united in marriage to Mr. Peter Felghner of Nashville, Mich., December >9, 1864. To this union was born one son, Emmett, who now lives near Nashville. Mr. Felghner departed this life February 10, 1909. . Mrs. Felghner was the oldest daughter of Cyrus R. Everts and Anna Dew Everts. , Her father was one of the pioneers of Castleton township, moving here from New York State when Michi­ gan was a wilderness and settling on the farm now owned by C. C. Price, one mile north of Nashville. Mrs. Brooks was converted In 1859 and later baptized by Elder Holler. From that time until her death she remained a consistent Christian wo­ man. She was a faithful wife, a kind and loving mother, always ready to lend a helping hand to the sick and afflicted and it can be said of her: "She hath done what she could. ' She never joined any church, but in her belief was a Christian Adventist. She was married June 20, 1910, to Andrew J. Brooks. They lived to­ gether at the old Peter Felghner home until her death, caused by can­ cer. Mr. Brooks and her relatives did all they could to aUevlate nor suffering. Her funeral was held Sunday at 11:00 o’clock at the Holiness church, C. I. Harwood, the pastor, giving a short address from a requested text in St. Mark 14:8. The body was laid to rest In the Nashville ceme­ tery, in the Felghner lot. She will be missed as a good mother, wife and pioneer. ‘ the village of tion, and that of the village council to construct and the place where said Till velopmflnt Bureau says In a letter , council will meet to consider any printed in another column: Mesne should bo derUM tor made by persons interested be given dealing with .the dog nuisance by causing a copy of this resolution which has driven the business to be published once each week for of sheep raising from many dis­ two successive weeks prior to said tricts of western Michigan and ninth day of February.

One day a young ftiler come down on to the dock where I was mendin’ my net and looked at me and asked if I was Jack Bunker. I aajd that was my name. He stood lookin’ at me kind o’ queer for awhile; then be said: “Mr. Bunker, If you bad a wish granted what would the wish be?” “My friend.’’ I said, “I'm nothin’ but a fisherman. I bain’t got no time to be thlnkln’ about whether or not I'd Uke the sky fer a blue bandannar.” The feller was a-studyin’ me all the while, and when I’d said that he says: “Mr. Bunker, is that your boat tied up alongside the pier?” *3 reckon it Is.” I says. “How would you like a new one?” “How would I like a new one?

YOURS FOR BUSINESS, hner &. Barker FOR ENURE WORLD Wilson Asks Pease League in Address to Senate. U. S. UNABLE TO HOLD ALOOF Declares America Must Change Its Traditional Policy to Bring End to Wars—Proposes Armed Or­ ganization of Nations to Guarantee Freedom. Washington. Jan. 23. — President Wilson, in a personal address to the senate on Monday, laid down the ques­ tion of whether the United. States shall depart from its traditional pol­ icy of isolation and no entangling alli­ ances, and take part In a world league to preserve peace after the war. Shattering precedent of more than a century, the president, regarding the senate with Its treaty-making power as his counsellor in. foreign affairs, ex­ plained why be believed the time had come for the world to know America’s position, and discussed the underlying causes on which he believes a perma­ nent peace of the world can be main­ tained. In closing the president said: “I am proposing, as it were, that the nations should with one accord adopt the doctrine of President Monroe as the doctrine of the world." While President Wilson was speak­ Ing directly to the senators, after the manner of Washington, Madison and Adams, his address was In the hands of all foreign governments or on its In the background of the fundamen­ tal proposition of whether the United States should alter its foreign policy, laid down by Washington nnd carried out by a long line of presidents, was the possibility that out of some such league ot nations might come a way to end the present war. For nearly a half hour the president spoke, with members of the senate, members of the cabinet and packed galleries listening with rapt attention. When he concluded there was a tre­ mendous burst of applause In which many of the Republican senators joined the Democrats. When the president had finished and the senate returned to Its regular busi­ ness. Senator La Follette epitomized the sentiment of all present by saying: “We have Just passed through a very Important hour In the life of the world.” Briefly, the president In his address said that be believed no peace which was a peace of victory in the present war would be a permanent peace and that it must be taken for granted that peace "must be followed by some defi­ nite concert of power which will make it virtually Impossible that any such catastrophe should ever overwhelm us again." Text of Wilson's Address. The text of the president's address was in part as follows; “Gentlemen of the Senate: On the 18th of December last I addressed an identic note to the government of the nations now at war, requesting them to state, more definitely than had yet been stated by either group of bellig­ erents, the terms upon which they would deem It possible to make peace. I spoke on behalf of humanity and of the rights of all neutral nations like our awn, many of whose most vital in­ terests the war puts in constant jeopardy. "The central powers united In n re­ ply which stated merely that they were ready to meet their antagonists th con­ ference to discuss terms of peace. “The entente powers have replied much more definitely and have stated In general terms indeed, but with suf­ ficient definiteness to imply details, th" arrangements, guaranties nnd acts of reparation which they deem to be the thdlspenslble conditions of a satisfac­ tory settlement "We are that much nearer a definite discussion of the peace which shall end the present war. We are that much nearer the discussion of the in­ ternational concert which must there­ after hold the world at peace. "In every discussion of the peace that must end this war it is taken for granted that that peace must be given by some definite concert of power which will make It virtually impos­ sible that any such catastrophe should ever overwhelm us again.

P. Rothhaar & Son the approved practices of their gov­ ernment ever since the days when they set up a new nation in the high and honorable hope that It might in all that It was and did show mankind the way to liberty. "They cannot in honor withhold the service to which they are now about to be challenged. They do not wish to withhold IL But they owe it to them­ selves and to the other nations of the world to state the conditions under which they will feel free to render IL Present War Must Be Ended. "That service Is nothing less than thia—to add their authority and their power to the authority and force of other nations to guarantee peace and justice throughout the world. Such a settlement cannot now be long post­ poned. It is right that before It comes this government should frankly form­ ulate the conditions upon which It would feel justified In asking our peo­ ple to approve its formal and solemn adherence to a league for.pence. I am here to attempt to state those condi­ tions. • “The present war must first be end­ ed ; but we owe it to candor and to a Just regard for the opinion of mankind to say that so far as our participation in guaranties of future pence is con­ cerned It makes a great deal of differ­ ence in what way hnd upon what terms it is ended. The treaties and agree­ ments which bring it to an end must embody terms which will create a peace that is worth guaranteeing and preserving, a peace that will win the approval of mankind; not merely a peace that will serve the several Inter­ ests and immediate alms of the nations engaged. “We shall have no voice In determin­ ing what those terms shall be, but we shall. I feel sure, have a voice tn de­ termining 'whether they shall be made lasting or not by the guaranties of a universal covenant and onr judgment upon what is fundamental nnd essen­ tial as a condition precedeht to per­ manency should be spoken now, nol afterward when it may be too late. ■*No covenant of co-operative peace that does not include the peoples of the new world can suffice to keep the future safe against war, and yet there is only one sort of peace that the peo­ ples of America could join in guaran­ teeing. • “The elements of that pence must be elements that engage the confidence and satisfy the principles of the Amer­ ican governments, elements consistent with their political fnlth and the .prac­ tical convictions widch the peoples of America liave once for all embraced and undertaken to defend. Sea Paths Must Be Free. “And the paths of the sea must alike, in law and In fact, he free. The free­ dom of the seas Is the sine quo non of peace, eqflality and co-operation. No doubt a somewhat radical reconsidera­ tion of. many of the rules of Interna­ tional practice hitherto sought to be es­ tablished may be necessary in order to make the seas Indeed free and com­ mon In practically all circumstances for the use of mankind, but the mo­ tive for such changes Is convincing and compelling. There can be no trust or Intimacy between the peoples of the world without them. The free, con­ stant unthreatened Intercourse of na­ tions Is an essential part of the proc­ ess of peace and of development. It need not be difficult to define or to se­ cure the freedom of the seas, If the governments of the world sincerely de­ sire to come fo an agreement concern­ ing IL "It Is a problem closely connected with the limitation of naval arma­ ments and the co-operation ot the na­ vies of the world In keeping the seas nt once free nnd safe. And the ques­ tion of limiting naval armaments opens the wider end perhaps more difficult question of the limitation of armies and of all progress of military prepara­ tion.

The stntesrr.en of the world mast plan for peace and nations must adjust and accommo­ date their policy to it as they have planned for war and made ready for pitiless contest and rivalry. The ques­ tion of armaments, whether on land or sea, Is the most Immediately and In­ tensely practical question connected with the future fortunes of nations and of mankind. “I have spoken upon these great mat­ ters without reserve pad with the ut­ most explicitness because It has seemed to me to be necessary If the world's yearning desire for peace was anywhere to .find free voice and utter­ ance. Perhaps I am the only person in high authority among all the peo­ ples of the world who is at liberty to speak and hold nothing back. I am speaking ns an individual, and yet I am speaking also, of course, as the re­ sponsible bead of a great government, and I feel confident that I have said what the people of the United States would wish me to say. May I not add that I hope and believe that I am In effect speaking for liberals and friends of humanity In every nation and of every program of liberty? I would fain believe that I am speaking for the silent mass of mankind every­ where, who have as yet had no place or opportunity to speak their real hearts out concerning the death and ruin they see to have come already upon the persons and the homes they hold most dear.” Eight Points of Law. The eight points of law are, accord­ ing to an old saying attributed to Mr. Selwyn, a former candidate for the chamberlalncy of the city of London: “1. a good cause; 2, a good purse; 8, an honest and skillful attorney; 4, good evidence; 5, able counsel; 6, an upright Judge; 7, an intelligent jury; 8, good luck, .

In speaking of Hungary, a German writer has said: “When I hear its name mentioned my waistcoat seems too tight for me, in my heart wakens traditionary exploits of long ago, the poetry and song of the Middle Ages. Its history is that of yore, the same heroism lies within its borders, the names of its heroes alone have changed.” .

Rather Is It the one great reality through whose power the unreal Is record for a The sun went down behind the wall, and shadows were born in the darker .places of the valley. Duane began to want to get closer to that cabin. Still he lingered. And sudden­ ly his wide-roving eye caught sight of two horsemen riding up the valley. They must" have entered at n point below, round the huge abutment of rock, beyond Duane's range of right Their horses were tired and stopped at the stream for a long drink. Duane left his perch, took to the steep trail, and descended as fast as he could without making noise. It did not take him long to reach the valley floor. It was almost level, with deep grass, ami here and there clumps of bushes; Twilight was al­ ready thick down there. Duane marked the location of the trail, and then itegan to slip Uke a shadow through the grass nnd from bush to bush. He saw a bright light before he made out the dark outline of the cabin. Then he heard voices, a merry whistle, a coarse song, and the clink of Iron cooking utensils. He smelled fragrant wood smoke. He saw mov­ ing dark figures cross the light. Evi­ dently there was n wide dner, or else fhe Are was out In the open. Duane swerved to the left, out of direct line with the light, and thus was able to rfee better. Then he advanced noiselessly but swiftly toward the back of the house. There were trees close to the wall. He would make no noise, and he could scarcely lie seen—if only there was no watchdog! But all his outlaw days he had taken risks with only his useless life at stake; now, with that changed. he advanced. stealthy nnd bold us un Indian. He reached the cover of the trees, knew he was hidden in their shadows, for . nt few paces' distance he had been able to see only their tops. From there he slipped up to the house and felt along the wall with his hands. He came to* a little window’ where Ught shone through. He peeped in. He saw a room shrouded In shadows, a lamp turned low. n table, chairs. He saw an open door. with bright flare beyond, but could not see the fire. Voices came Indistinctly. He went on round that end of the cabin. Fortune favored him. There were bushes, an old shed, a wood-pile, all the cover be needed at that corner. He did not even need to crawl. Before he peered between the rough corner of wall and the bush growing close to It, Dunne paused n moment This excitement wu* different from Dunne - waited. The moments dragged endlessly. His heart pound­ ed. Longstreth'entered. turned up the light and taking a box of cigars from the table, he carried It out “Here, you fellows, gn outside and smoke." he said. “Knell, cpme in now. I^et’s get It over.” He returned, ant down, nnd lighted a cignr for himself. He put his boot­ ed feet on the table. Duane saw that the room was com­ fortably. even luxuriously furnished. There must have been n good trail, he thought, else how could nil that stuff, have been packed In there. Then Knell came In nnd seated himself without any of his chiefs ease. He seemed preoccupied nnd. ns always, cold. “What’s wrong. Knell? Why didn’t you get here sooner?" queried Longptreth. “Poggln! We’re on the outs again." “What for? Get It opt of your sys­ tem so we can go on to the new job." “Well. It began back a ways. I don’t know bow long ngo—weeks—a stronger rode Into Ord nn’ got down easy-llke as If he owned the place. He seemed familiar to me. But I wasn’t aure. We looked him over, an' I left, tryin’ to place him In my tnlnd.” “What’d he look like?” "Rangy, powerful man. white hair over his temples, still, hard face, eyes like knives. The way he packed his guns, the way he walked an’ stood an’ strung his right hand showed me what he was. You can't fool me on the guB-shnrp. An' he had a grand horse, a big black." "I’ve met your man." said Longstreth. “No!” exclaimed Knell. It was wonderful to hear surprise expressed by thia man that did not In the least show It In his strange physiognomy. Knell laughed a short, grim, hollow laugh. “Bos«, this here big gent drifts Into Ort! again an’ makes up to Jim Fletcher.

You’re unreliable. Another break like that queers you with me. Did you tell that he had always felt when pursued. Poggln?" “Yea. Thet’s one reason we fell It had no bitterness, no pain, no dread.

He seemed beautiful. But looked at closer with glance seeing the physical man, instead of that thing which shone from him, ba was of perfect build, with muscles that swelled and rippled, bulging his clothes, with the ipngniflcent head and face of the cruel, fierce, tawny-eyed jaguar. Looking at this strange Poggln, In­ stinctively divining his abnormal and hideous power, Duane had for the first time in his life the Inward quak­ ing fear of a man. It was like a cold-tongued bell ringing within him and numbing his heart The old Instinctive firing of blood followed, but did not drive away that fear. He knew. He felt something here deeper than thought could go. And he hated Poggln. ’ That Individual had been considering Fletcher’s appeal. “Jim, I ante up.” he said, “an! if Phil doesn’t raise us out with a big hand—why, he'll get called, an’ your pard can set in the game." Every eye shifted to Knell. He was dead white. He laughed, and anyone hearing that laugh would have realized his intense anger equally with an as­ surance which made him master of the situation. "Poggln. you’re n gambler. yon are— the ace-hlgh. straight-flush hand of the Big Bend,” he said, with stinging scorn. "I’ll bet you my roll to a greaser peso that 1 can deal you a hand you’ll be afraid to play.” “Phil, you’re talkin' wild,” growled Poggln. with both advice and menace in his tone. “If there's anything you hate. It’s a man who pretends to be somebody else when he's not. Thet so?" But he could not quell that self In him which reached back over the lapse of lonely, searing years and found the boy in him. Duane knew he was not lust right in part of his mind. Small wonder that he was not Insane, he thought: He tramped on downward, his marvelous faculty for covering rough “ * ’ holding to * never before ___ ._ keen and acute. Yet all the time a spirit was keeping step with him. Thought of Ray Longstreth as he had left her made him weak. He saw her white face, with Its sweet sad lips and the dark eyes so tender and tragic.

Then he was out of the rocks, with ‘the dim trail pale at his feet Mounting Bullet, he made short work of the long slope and the foothills and । the rolling land leading down to Ord.

Boated around the campfire on logs and blankets in the dim light the boys gave their camp yells aad sang their canip songs. Then the curtain was drawn, revealing a sight typical in all camps—the "cookey” squad at work, helping the cook to prepare the noontide meal. The “Gladiators” followed, showing bur­ lesque warriors, clad In white, in deadly combat, but In tableau. The feature act of the evening was the pantomime play, “The Rivals", in which Jack Stem, as the popular la­ dy, found ingenious and effective ways of hiding four desperate suit­ ors who called In rapid succession.

McDowell’s, "To a/Waterlily”, which was hearlly ap­ plauded. She encored by playing Beethoven's "Minuet In G.” Stereopticon views of Camp Barry and group work in Barry County and other places were shown. “Taps" by Richard Todd and Raymond Bacheller brought back to the campers the openings-when it came time for retiring and no one was ready to go to sleep. In spite of the heat and mosquitoes. Victor Dixon delighted everyone when he sang, "Swimmln’ Days", and responded with. “Who Knows?" by Dunbar. Refreshments were served by the camp cook In regular camp style, the boys lining up and taking their turns at the cocoa and doughnuts. Shirley Griffeth of Mid­ dleville, who acted as chairman ot the evening, then called upon sever­ al of the boys and men to tell about their* camp experiences and their ideas of the value of CapiP Barry, “The Camp of Ideals.” M. L. Cook gave a splendid talk that was very much appreciated. He spoke of the value a boy gets from rubbing el­ bows with the other boys of the life out In the open, and best of all, of learning to know the heart of the boy who perhaps was disliked at home and finding that he was a real good fellow after all. Several volunteer talks were given by the boys and leaders, followed by the singing of “America.” As heads were bowed at the close of the bene­ diction. the soft low strains of the bugle were heard sounding taps. The boys then unrolled their blankets and stayed all night. In the morning at the sound of the reville they lined up for breakfast, then left for their homes, looking forward to the next summer camp and to the Second An­ nual Camp Barry reunion.

The attractiveness of the sale list and the experience of the auctioneer are Important of course, but they will emount to lit­ tle unless the event has received the right amount and kind of publicity. The people must bo Informed that you intend to have a sale, and so in­ formed that it will stay fresh in their minds. During the past few years the farmers have commenced to give this advertising its due amount of con­ sideration, and old methods have passed into the discard. They do not rely on bills tacked to telephone poles and fence posts to bring the crowds. The new method of newspaper ad­ vertising has been universally adopt­ ed. Not only Is It cheaper, but it Is far more effective and dependable. Tbe reason is very manifest.

Every citizen has a voice in railroad regu­ lation whether he is a share or bond holder or not. The NcwYorkGaitral Lines Michigan Central R. R.—“The Niagara Falls Route” "America's Greatest Railway System** are owned by over 30,000 share and bond holders. Many of these are savings banks; trust companies, estates, etc., with thousands of other share holders in turn. Hence railroad problems, involving state and national regulation of rates, wages, finances, operation, etc., are the people’s problems. It is the desire of the New York Central Lincs to cooperate closely with all the public to solve these problems correctly. The Barry County Committee of the Y. M. C.

The attractiveness of the sale list and the experience of the auctioneer are Important of course, but they will * mount to lit­ tle unless the event h-s received the right amount and kind of publicity. The people must be Informed that you intend to have a sale, and so in­ formed that it will stay fresh in their minds. During the past few years the farmers have commenced to give this advertising its due amount of con­ sideration, and old methods have passed into the discard. They do not rely on bills tacked to telephone poles and fence posts to bring the crowds. The new method of newspaper ad­ vertising has been universally adopt­ ed. toot only to It cheaper, but it to far more effective and dependable. The reason is very manifest. The bill reaches but a few people; an advt In The News reaches many hundreds. The bill covers only a small area; The News covers an entire section. The bill Is seen but often not read or is forgotten; The News goes into the home and is read and often kept for reference. The bill to ineffective In busy times or in bad weather when the people stay at home; The News reaches them in their homes and brings them out to the sale. The busy man will seldom stop to read a bill posted by the roadside, even when Interested; The News finds .him at his comfortable fireside and to read under most favorable circuiAstancea. The bill takes the time of a for from one to three or four days for distributing and posting; The News carries the same advertising into every home without this trouble and expense. If you intend to hold a sale this spring, ad­ vertise it in The News.

From Grand Rapids Press, Jan. 30. Editor of The Press: After the state tuberculosis survey had visited Saranac and gave out their report that out of twenty-seven examina­ tions fourteen were positive, seven suspicious, one arrested and five negative and the staff had given Sar­ anac the pasting thrust that this condition was •“simply the limit,’’ we started an Investigation and we found that two cases that they pro­ nounced the worst—one of which they said must be taken out of this climate—has been examined by spe­ cialists, who declared that neither of them had tuberculosis at alt In another case that was examined at Ionia, the diagnosis was wrong, in fact, we have found but one case that was examined here that 'has proven correct. This, we believe, should put end to this work, for the only _ cuse that the secretary of the board has to offer is with the rush of ap­ plication it is impossible for the medi­ cal examiners to give the necessary timd to each case. If they are not giving these, cases a proper examina­ tion why should they go about the state at the expense of the people making out serious cases and caus­ ing the people expense and worry because they did not take time to properly examine them? We have gone into the records and we want to say that there is not a village in the state of Michigan the size of Saranac that can show a clean­ er tuberculosis record than Saranac can, and we want to add that it is not the condition in Saranac that is "simply the limit”, but it is the work of the survey. Whether it was lack of knowledge or carelessness we know not, but whatever the cause the people ahould be protected from this kind of work. This is a matter that should be considered by the legislature In mak­ ing appropriations. H. J, Johnson, Saranac, Mich. SHERIFF’S NOTICE OF ELECTION Pursuant to notice sent ms by Coleman C.

Zurich, Switzerland, Feb. 13.—Most of the members of Ambassador Gerard’s large party gave a genuine sigh of relief when the Swiss border was reached, for the strain of the last few days hsd told on the majority of the travelers. Mr. Gerard met cor­ dially the horde of newspaper .men who crowded about him -on his ar­ rival at Zurich, clamoring for inter­ views for papers In all parts of the civilized world, but he adhered to his determination not to speak for publi­ cation before he had reported to Presi­ dent Wilson in Washington. The strain of the situation for the Americans In Berlin had been height­ ened toward the end by the efforts of the German authorities to Induce Mr. Gerard to open negotiations for an amendment to the Prussian-American treaty of 1799.

And hls terror was that of joy quelling fear. The shining glory of love In this woman's eyes made him weak as a child. How could she Jove him—how' could she so bravely face a future with him? Yet she held him In her arms, twining her hands round hls neck, and pressing close to him. Her faith and love and beauty —these she meant to throw between him and all that terrible post They were her power, and she meant to use them all. He dared not think of accepting her sacrifice. “But Ray — you dear, noble girl — I’m poor. I have nothing. And Tm a cripple.” “Oh, you'll be well some day," she replied. “And listen. I have money.

What was this madness of love? “Well be happy.” she whispered. “Oh, I know. Come!—come!—come I” Her eyes were closing, heavy-lidded, and she lifted sweet tremulous, wait­ ing lips.

New Elevator for Vermontville If plans which are now advancing very ‘close to the .stage of definite reality do not meet with unlooked for Interruption prospects are ex­ ceedingly bright for a new grain ele­ vator In Vermontville. Rumors of such a venture have been current for some time and so favorably has the Idea been received that a large number of the leading farmers of the community have Interested them­ selves In the proposition during tho past few weeks with the result that tbe property now occupied by tho S. A. Fuller timber mill near the Michi­ gan Central railroad tracks has been purchased and It Is expected that work will soon be started on tho erection of the new building. Those interested in the new con­ cern believe that market conditions In Vermontville can be bettered to a great extent and with farmers re­ ceiving increased prices for their grain both themselves and tbe village will share in the benefits. For the purpose of carrying on the work a modern building of 17,000 bushels capacity will take tbe place of the present mill. Latest improved ma­ chinery will be Installed and every inducement will be made to the farm­ ers of the neighborhood to ship their entire grain production through both channels instead of dividing with outside sources as Is understood to be the case at the present time. The new concern will enter into the business on the co-operative plan and starts out with a capital stock o? 315,000, part of which has already been subscribed. The bal­ ance will be disposed of at $10.00 per share with a fifty share limit to any one Individual.—Vermontville Echo. To Mike Sirup for some time past thought they had a grievance, for about every week or so their wives would ask for a horse and a half day off, besides drawing on the family purse for five cents, and had about made up their minds to declare a strike. But, oh joy! the trouble is over. The ladies, sensing what was coming, in­ vited the men to share one of their birthday parties nt Roy Garllnger's last Friday night. Forty-seven responded to the Invitation, and to say we had a fine time—well, just listen. They started in rather light, letting us men talk about any­ thing we -wanted to, but it was not long until we were being entertained by Miss Ethel Felghner at the piano; Miss Mlnta Austin also gave us music, both instrumental and vocal. Then some games In which the men showed their ability as Impromptu speech-makers, also showed the women how to handle clothoepins. Then came supper, and such a supper! George Austin stalled on the fourteenth piece of cake, but then you must remember he bad just finished eating escalloped potatoes, baked beans, sandwiches (any number of them you wanted,) pickles, fruit salad and coffee. Some coffee too, the writer knows for he had four cups. Is it any won­ der "Ben” stalled on the cake? El­ mer Mater says he didn't know there were so many good cooks in the neighborhood. Well, after eating such a supper as that, it was all that we could do to get home and sleep it off. But we did manage to give the women three rousing cheers and allow they would never hear us kick again. A Mere Mini SCHOOL NOTES. The report cards will be given out next Monday.

It Can be Done, but DeclineYou’ve all heard people tell of going “to beat the cars," but few of us have ever done it. Hollister Shoup, of Maple Grove, however, is, one of the few. who have tried it and made a success of It, and Holly did­ n’t have much of anything to spare. He was coming from Hastings Wednesday evening ot last week with a spirited team bitched to a -pair of sleighs with a big platform on top. As they noared tho county farm crossing, where John Montgomery was killed last year. Holly heard the fast train from the west approach­ ing. The horses heard it too, and as railway trains are their one special abomination they immediately com­ menced to get skittish. Holly tried to bold them up and make them wait until the train had passed, but they knew .what they wanted better than the driver did, so they picked up speed and hurried on. Holly tried to head them into a snow bank at the side of the roar), but they shook their heads and would have none of it. In the mean time, tbe train, which was late and making up time, was ap­ proaching the crossing at probably better, than sixty miles an hour. The horses were not going quite that fast, but they didn't have quite so far to go. and they made tbe cross­ ing Just about the same time the train did. Holly could Just simply feel what was coming to him. but as he couldn't hold the team be drop­ ped tbe reins and yelled at them to go, and while they were in the act of going, to the limit of their possi­ bilities, Holly made for the front o! the platform and got ready to Jump. The horses, by a superhorsc effort, made the crossing ahead of the en­ gine. and just as Holly started to jump the train struck the sleighs squarely amldshlp and took the platform out from under him. That is the last Shoup remembers, except that the headlight on that engine was as big as a house, until he found himself on his feet and picking up his robes and blankets, and he start­ ed on toward Quimby In search of his team, which he finally found east of the village, still with the front bob in tow. They had foundered In a snow bank and had been captured by a good Samaritan. Holly thanked the man. wrapped himself up In bis blankets and went home, going back the next day to pick up the I remnants which were not worth the | trip The engineer, who had fully ' realized that he had struck some­ thing. stopped the train as quickly as possible and barked her up to the crossing, where the entire crew put In twenty minutes hunting for the victim of the accident All they I could find was splinters of wood and ■ bits of iron, although the engineer the team had been killed, so sure that he even made them hunt under the train for the body, but not find­ ing any mangled corpse or even a truce of blood they finally went on tbeir way Up to date. Holly has found 10" sore spots, and his diaphragm flut­ ters by spells, bu* he thinks he will make a complete recovery if he can stay away from the cars for a time.

V. Barker called out the fire depart­ ment Friday noon to extinguish a fire in her home on Queen street. When the department arrived, all out of breath but still game and ready to do or die, they found the immense volumes of smoke which Mrs. Bar­ ker saw streaming from the roof of the domicile was in reality but steam rising in the rays of the sunlight. * Mrs. B. ha* had to stand a lot of good-natured chaffing since Friday noon but she says that is preferable ♦ The Pride of For Purchase Long Service If a man would pick out a suit of clothes as carefully as a good pocket knife, he'd seldom go wrong. Buy tbe Clothcraft Clothes and you'll get not only good looks, but quality that lasts like a well-tempered knife blade. It's built into them by scientific methods. For 69 years the mak­ ers have concentrated on one big idea - in­ creasing tbe dollars and cenu value of medium priced doth- Did you ever buy a shirt or a necktie, have people admire it, wear it often, and pat yourself on the back because you got it for such a reasonable price? . There’s a certain amount of pride in making satisfactory selections. Such pride is effected in many ways. Long wear, style, fit, variety of stock, courteous atten­ tion and fair prices—these are very important. And our store embraces them all. Whether we sell you a Clothcraft Suit or just a pair of socks you’ll be surprised at the service your purchase brings forth. • We feel that by giving a man the most for his money in a 25 cent article, we pave the way tor his good will and in­ crease the chances of his coming here when he has more to spend. Isn’t that a reasonable policy. OVERCOATS We can fit you out with a heavy, warm overcoat just now at a very low price. Latest styles, best mateiials, and a fine assortment to choose from.

Trautman bad a busy ses­ sion with the city water in his cel­ lar one morning recently. The pipes had frozen and after taking the water meter out and with the pipes all disconnected, he went outside and thawed out the pipes where they were frozen and the flood commenc­ ed. He had no shut off box In the cellar, so he phoned for a plumber to come and shut off the torrent at the street box. In the mean time Newt got busy with scoop shovel and pails to reduce the overflow, but he couldn’t anywhere near carry it out as fast as Frank Russell pumped it in, and there was about three inches of water in the cellar when the plumber finally arrived and shut it off. Newt then put the meter back and connected tbe pipes, but when the water was turned on at the street box there was nothing doing inside. After working for several hours with a slate and pencil Newt figured it out that the meter was in wrong end to, and as the meters are made to work but one way, and that Is for the village and not tor the con­ sumer, he had to take it out and turn it around, which ended his troubles.

You are just as much interested in the prosperity of Michigan aa the men folks. Because the prosperity of Michigan is your prosperity as much as theirs. . Did it ever occur to you that every time you use Michigan made goods you build up Michigan industries ? And that buying Michigan made goods keeps Michigan money in Michigan where you and every other "Michigander” has an opportunity to share in its redistribution T We do not mean you should buy Michigan goods just because they are made in Michigan without regard to quality, for quality should be the foundation of every purchase. We do mean Michigan made goods of equal or better quality should be given preference. We ask you to buy Lily White "The Floar the Beet Cookt Ute because Lily White flour in better floor and better suited to your require­ ment!—home baking. ...................... Because Lily White flour bakes perfectly delicious bread, rolls and pastries. Because all dealers are requested to sell Lily White on the guarantee you will like it better or money refunded. Because Lily White flour is made in a Michigan mill in Michigan by Michigan people; principally from Michigan wheat grown by Michigan farmers, transported by Michigan railroads, sold by Michigan dealers. Again we say, buy Lily White “the flour the best cooks use” and have complete baking satisfaction—and keep Michigan money in Michigan.

Americans are es­ sentially a fair minded people when facts are brought forcibly to their at­ tention and this fact has been am­ ply exemplified in the tremendous change of national sentiment regard­ ing universal service. Dally papers of the great cities tssert that the principal objection to universal ser­ vice comes from the rural districts. But the dally papers are wrong. The young men of our own community are on a par with those of other rur­ al districts, and yet we unhesitating­ ly asser‘ that no where in this broad land will be found u more unified or patriotic sentiment than that which exists in the hearts of our ow young men. If the best interests of the country demand that each one, rich and poor alike, shall se.-ve six months in a training camp, then when the time comes we will find them step­ ping briskly to the front, with heads erect and eyes upon the flag of free­ dom.

A score are Injured seriously and at least 100 are suffering minor injuries. Three persons are missing. The property loss Ih estimated at <1.000,000. Newcastle recovered as rapidly as possible during the day, but settled down to face another night of cold and darkness. Suffering among many of the homeless Is intense. Gas, which was turned off to prevent fires, has not been turned on. and those who tried to prepare food in the re­ mains of their homes had to use what­ ever poor means they could. One of the first to respond to the calls for assistance was Charles W. Fairbanks, who contributed <1,000 for relief work. Early in the day the food problem presented a serious aspect, with crack­ ers selling at 2 cents each and ba­ nanas at 5 cents each. 8100,000 Fund Started.

"PATRIOTIC NIGHT.” Stormy weather prevented a pack­ ed house Monday night at the opera house to hear Rev. C. Jeff. McCombc's lecture on "America and the World War”, but those who braved the ele­ ments were more than repaid. A description or a synopsis of the lec­ ture would be unfair, because justice could not be done to it in any abridgement of its thorough-going patriotism. The speaker went down into the souls of his ..hearers, tearing aside the thin skin “of superficial patriotism and getting down to the basic patriotism of the heart'e blood. No person can hear this lecture with­ out having his love for home and country deepened and his admira­ tion for the flag mean more to him. Wo are sorry that every person in the entire community could not have heard it. Preceding the lecture, patriotic music was rendered by the orchestra, patriotic songs w'ero rendered by the high school quartette, and a bevy of maidens gave a pretty drill. THE PENSLAR STORE and well se­ lected line of Wall Paper is meeting the approval of the people, not only in style but in price is evidenced by the large amount we are selling. We have patterns suitable for any room in the house and at a price to suit you. You can still get paper at 10c per double roll, and from that up as far as you want to go. Cutout borders in both conventional and floral designs, oat meals in various shades, dainty bedroom patterns, kitch­ ens, etc. Don’t fail to look us over before you buy. You will need a few window shades. We have them in several grades and prices. H. D. Wotring The Rexall Store PAINT sad VARNISH WINDOW SHADES AUCTION SALES.

Some of his enemies like to compare him with Judge Weist, whose deci­ sions are. sometimes more than ordi­ narily severe, but most of us are hu­ man enough so that we would pre­ fer to see an erring brother saved if it can be done by kindness and good advice, rather than to see him stacked away behind the bars for the longest term it is possible for the judge to give under the statutes. Yet when necessary and circumstances require, Judge Smith has shown that he can be as firm in the administra­ tion of justice as the most captious critic could desire. Judge Smith is a good judge, has won the highest respect of the people of his district, and should be elected by a large ma­ jority. „ C. E. Tarte, general manager, and Albert Stacy, superintendent of con­ struction of the Citizens -Telephone company, were here from Grand Rap­ ids Monday giving the town the once ovfer and planning on the removal of the company's poles from Main street prior to the paving. Local manager J. C. Furniss is of the opinion that the wires will be laid in conduits under ground, but they may be placed on poles in the alleys. The Bell company hat expressed its willingness to remove Its poles from Main street also, prior to the paving, so that Main street will be thorough­ ly cleaned up. It is likely that the common council will also order all poles supporting signs across the walks removed. A small fire started by a burning chimney in the house owned by Mrs. C. W. Smith, and occupied by Mrs. Chas. Phillips, corner of Washington and State streets, brought out the fire department about five o'clock Satur­ day afternoon. There was no fire in sight, but persistent smoke gave evi­ dence that something was going on. The boys finally found fire burning in lath through which the stovepipe passed to the chimney, and a cou­ ple of palls of water extinguished ** it. being nominal. the damage ' LOCAL 'NEWS.

Everything in groceries to fill your order, and prices right. Rothhaar & Son Better FARM IMPLEMENTS We mean every word of this The next time you drive to town with a lead, just take note of the road. Wherever you find a rut the pulling is hard anij alow and the vitality of your team is sapped away. Ruts in ' ~ a road are bad things to encounter—they don’t pay. And poor and Out of date implements and machinery are to the farmer what the rut is to his team. They are bad things to cling to—they don’t pay. If you want increased profits from the soil, new machin­ ery and better implements will produce them, and with less labor and cost. If you want the RIGHT implement or piece of machinery at the RIGHT price, we will sell it to you. If you want to look thenj over, come and do so. We will afford you every opportunity and facility. If you want additional .information—want to know what they will do for you—come And ask questions. We will tell you. Come now. Wm. Leonard and wife and non, Charles, spent Sunday with S. JJ.

I say economical because I have found’it so in this way. “I received a sack of Lily White, sent me in error by my grocer, and when using it in a recipe that I had always used with other flours I found my dough too stiff. I used the same quantity as usual, so next tune I used less and have been delighted with the results ever since. ‘'In these days of the high cost of living I think It would be well for all housewives to know that Lily White Flora goes farther and makes more than any other flour I ever used.” (Signed) MRS. L. B. BOBBIN, 751 College Ave., Grand Rapids, Mich. Mrs. Bobbin is a new convert to Lily White Flour and her testimony is very significant in view of the‘fact that heretofore she has used two kinds of flour—a so-called bread flour for bread, and a pastry flour for _ pastry—and has found Lily White "better for all purposes than the special Honrs were for special purposes.

Rousing strains of martial music and the waving of flags, with hosts of hearty good wishes and a liberal shake-purse for spending money, brought tears to the eyes of the first contingent of NashvlUe'r. ■ boys to leave for service with Uncle Sam s troops, as they embarked on the noon train Monday. About three hundred of the people of the village gathered at the station to bld them farewell and good luck, the parade to the sta­ tion being led by a martial band, while a guard of civil war veterans, each bearing the flag, acted as a guard of honor. Private B. E. Workman, the recruiting officer un­ der whom the boys enlisted, came down from Grand Rapids oh the morning train to accompany them to Grand Rapids, and he was as proud of the new recruits as any citizen of the village, and well he might be. for it will be many a day before any re­ cruiting officer takes Into head-quar­ ters. a finer trio of fellows than be took to Grand Rapids with him. . While waiting for the train. Which was 45 minutes late, friends of the boys took up a shake-purse to give the boys a little extra spending money to jingle In their jeans. The shelling was liberal, amounting to a trifle over $44, giving each of the boys eleven iron men. ’While only three of the boys were present, Earl A. Rentschler, Hugh D. Hecker and Virgil A. Laurent being In the de­ parting party, his share of the purse was sent to Fred Miller, who onlisted Thursday morning of last week In the infantry, and who left the same day for Grand Rapids, where he was examined tho same afternoon and was immediately sent to Fort Thomas. Kentucky. The other three boys, who left Monday noon, passed their examination at Grand Rapid;: with flying colors and took the 5:10 train out of Grand Rapids for Fort Thomas, where they are already learning the rudiments of the game. Tuesday morning’s Free Press brings the information that another Nashville boy has joined the colors, Glenn Shupp, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shupp, having enlisted In the cavalry at Detroit. Now that congress has declared' that a state of war exists between this country and Germany, recruit­ ing will bo renewed with greater vigor, and wo have no doubt that many other Nashville boys will an­ swer to the call. The recruiting officer gives Nashville tho proud record of having up to date furnish­ ed more recruits according to popu­ lation than any other village or city in Michigan. Tuesday morning's Grand Rapids Herald pays the town this glowing compliment: Niudivillc Townspeople in Procession, Escort its Re­ cruits to Train. Here’s the most patriotic ‘town in Michigan. Three young men of Nash­ ville, Barry county, enlisted In the regular army and Monday cut home ties and came to Grand Rapids to be sworn in­ to tho service. ’ A procession of townspeople, including leading business and professional men, headed by a martial band, escorted them to the train ant! in wishing them God speed In the service of the nation, presented the three young patriots with a purse of $50.00. The Nashville recruits are Earl A. Rer^tschler, Virgil A. Laurent and Hugh D. Hecker. Private Bill Workman of the army recruiting station, who accompanied the young men to Grand Rapids, declares Nashvllle is the most patriotic town In Michigan. Paul O. Bogard of Hastings joined the boys when the train arrived at his town and went with the boys to camp at Fort Thomas. W’esley E. Webb of Hastings has also enlisted and will go to Fort Thomas as soon as he passes his examination. ^Whfle the following letter.was addressed to us, there is a message In it for every yoman interested in economy and good cooking, so we address it to'you through the newspaper. » BIG FAKEWKLL GATHKR1XG.

POULTRY RAISING A GIANT INDUSTRY Thousands are making good money out of their chic­ kens. Are you getting your share? Are you making poultry pay? Year in and year out I am preaching this doctrine: Condition your poul­ try. Give them a chance by keeping their health good; keep up the good feeling and good humor; keep up the singing and scratching and you’ll keep up the laying. Its the singing, good-humored, industrious hens that lay the eggs —the strongly fertile eggs that will give you good, livable chicks and healthy, fully developed fowls. Don’t Make a Mistake What you make out of your hens depends on how you treat them. Pin your faith to DR. HESS POULTRY PAN-A-CE-A. It’s the 23-year-old poultry preparation that has spelled suc­ cess for so many thousand poultry raisers. It will do the same for you. MY GUARANTEE So sure am I that Poultry Pan-a-ce-a will make your poultry healthy, your hans lay and ycur chicks grow, that I have told my Nashville agency, McDerby’s grocery department, to supply you with Pan-a-ce-a, and if same does not satisfy all the claims I have made for ft, they will give you back your money upon return of the empty package.

Besides her great number of pounds, she is also possessed of unusual timidity about croaing streets where the traffic is heavy. One day she stopped a policeman In the middle of the street: "Officer," she asked, "could yon see me* across the street?" The officer turned and regarded her cloaely. "Madam," he replied, "I could see you for half a block!" by, near Thornapple lake. A bountiful chicken dinner was antly spent in visiting. Those from away were Mr. and Mrs. Hayden Nye. Mr. and Mrs. Ern­ est Hartwell of Nashville, Mr. Foote of Calhoun county, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. .Phillips and daughter Susie, Mr. and Mrs. Ansel Phillips, Mrs. A. Smith and Mrs. Nellie Kline and daughter of South Hastings. A. E. Phillips and Mrs. Smith, brother and sister of Mrs. Golden, were al$o present at the wedding sixty years ago. At a late hour all returned to theii many homes,..wishing Mr. and Mrs. Golden many more years of health and happiness. Mr. Golden was-born in England eighty years ago and came to this country when a small boy, and settled with his parents in Huron county, Ohio. In 1857 he waa united in marriage to Mias Alvira Phillips, who was born in Huron county, Ohio, in 1842. They continued to make their home in Ohio until 1870, when they came to Michigan and purchased a farm in- Rutland township, living! there until 1877, when they moved to the farm where they now live.

Easter Sunday of 1917 Is a mat­ ter of history, but the historian of Christianity will write a strong chap­ ter in recording those things which took place. The physical atmos­ phere was in perfect harmony with the bright and beautiful spiritual experiences.. We gathered at the open, empty tomb at 8:00 a. m., and lingered around it until 6:30 p. m., when the building crowded to its doors listened to the choir sing “He Is Risen." Seldom have our people been privileged to listen to music rendered by local talent to equal that of Sunday afternoon. Under the fine leadership of Mr. Ralph McNltt, the choir certainly excelled themselves in rendering that difficult and charming cantata, "The Resur­ rection." I wish they might be persuaded to repeat It. The Sunday school program was of intense Interest. Every item was a “special." It surely was a great delight to us to be greeted by tho Bishop and the other one. No one expected him to be present When we gathered in the Community House we were immediately con­ fronted by the 3ishop and I greeted myself. Thfi was a Treat surprise, and we heartily expressed on: appre­ ciation to Mr. Len W. Feighner for this splendid gift of two fine enlarge­ ments of the Bishop and Pastor. Mrs. Laura J.

He was looking forward to a good night's sleep when he arrived at the Junction; but on boarding the north-bound through train he encoun­ tered Judge Ellsworth, who had just heard of the Garza killing, and of course was eager for details. The two men sat in the observation car talking until a late hour. Knowing the judge for a man of honor and discretion, Dave unburdened himself with the utmost freedom re­ garding his suspicions of Ed Austin. Ellsworth nodded. “Yes, Ed has thrown In with the rebel junta in San Antone, and Tad Lewis is the man they use to run arms and supplies in. this neighborhood. That’s why he and Ed are so friendly. Urbina Is probably your cattle thief, but he has a hold over Ed. and so he rode to Las Palmas when he was pursued, knowing that no jury would convict him over Ed Aus­ tin’s testimony.” "Do you think Ed would perjure himself?'

CHAPTER IX. Longorio Makes Bold. At La Feria Alalre discovered that the federal depredations had been even greater than she had feared. Not only had the soldiers taken a great many head of cattle, but they had practically c'*»ared the ranch of horses, leaving acarcely enough with which to carry on the work. Life in the roomy, fortresslike adobe house was pleasant enough. Alalre welcomed the change In her dally life. Everything about La Feria was restfully un-American, from the house it­ self, with its bare walls and floors, its brilliantly flowering patio, and Its primitive kitchen arrangements, to the black-shawled, barefooted Indian wom­ en and their naked children rolling In the dust Even the tlmberlers moun­ tains that rose sheer from the west­ ward plain Into a tumbling purpleshadowed rampart were Mexican. La Feria was several miles from the rail­ road ; therefore It could not have been more foreign had It lain In the very heart of Mexico rather than near the northern boundary. In such surroundings, and in spite of faint misgivings, it was not strange that, after a few days, Alalre’s unhap­ piness assumed a vaguely Impersonal quality and that her life, for the mo­ ment, seemed not to be her own. Even the thought of her husband, Ed Austin, became Indistinct and unreal. Then all too boon she realized that the pur­ pose of her visit was accomplished, and that she had no excuse for re­ maining longer. She was now armed with sufficient facts to make a definite demand upon the federal government The homeward journey was a rep­ etition of the Journey out Jose, as before, was newsgatherer. Hour after hour they crept toward the border, un­ til at last they were again laid out on a siding for un Indefinite wait The occasion for this was made plain when an engine drawing a single ca­ boose appeared. Even before It had come to a pause, a tall figure In spot­ less uniform leaped to the ground and strode to the waiting coaches. It was Luis Longorio. He waved a signal to the conductor, then swung aboard tho north-bound train. The general was all smiles as ho came down the aisle, and bowed low over Alalre’s hand. Dolores gasped and stiffened In her seat like a woman of stone. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. “Heaven be pratoed!

Borne cuttleash are so large that the suckers, when stretched to their full length, can encompass the girth of a half-dozen human being* Hold the Fate of Nations and Asks Every Effort to Supply Food —Says the Supreme Test Has Arrived. Washington, April 16.—In a personal appeal addressed Sunday night to his fellow countrymen President Wilson calls upon every American citizen— man, woman and child—to Join togeth­ er to make the nation a unit for the preservation of its Ideals and for tri­ umph of democracy in the world war. ^The supreme test of the nation has come," says the address. “We must all speak, act and serve together." Putting the navy on a war footing and raising a great army are the‘sim­ plest parts of the great task ahead, the president declares, and he urges all the people, with particular emphasis on his words to the farmers, to concen­ trate their energies, practice economy, prove unselfishness and demonstrate efficiency. Text of Addre**. The address follows: “My fellow countrymen: "The entrance of our own beloved country into the grim and terrible war for democracy and human rights which has shaken the world creates so many problems of national life and action which call for immediate consideration and settlement that I hope you will permit me to address to you a few words of earnest counsel and appeal with regard to them. “We are rapidly putting our navy upon an effective wUr footing and are about to create and equip a great army, but these are the simplest parts of the great task to which we have addressed ourselves. • “There is uot a single selfish ele­ ment, so far as I can see. in the cause we are fighting for. We are fighting for what we believe and wish to be the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world. “These, then, are the things we must do and do well, besides fighting— the tilings without which mere fight­ ing would be fruitless: “We must supply abundant food for ourselves an4 for our armies and our seamen not only, but also for a large part of the nations with whom we have now made common cause. In whose support and by whose sides we shall be fighting. Must Supply Ships. “We must supply ships by the hun­ dredf out of our shipyards to carry_ to the other side of the sea, subma­ rines or no submarines, what will every dny be needed there, and abundant materials out of our fields and our mines and our factories with which not only to clothe and equip our own forces on land and sea but also to clothe and support our people for whom the gallant fellotvs under arms can no longer work, to help clothe and equip the armies with which we are co-operating in Europe, and to keep the looms and manufacturiea there in raw materials; coal to keep the fires going in ships at sea and In the fur­ naces across the sea; steel out of which to make arms and ammunition both here and there; rails for wornout railroads back of the fighting fronts; locomotives and rolling stock to take the place of those every day going to pieces; mules, horses, cattle for labor and for military service; everything with which the people of England and France and Italy and Russia have usually supplied them­ selves, but cannot now afford the men, the materials or the machinery to make. *** Need Greater Efficiency. “It is evident to every thinking man that our Industries, in farms, in ship­ yards, in the mines, in the factories, must be made more prolific and more efficient than ever, and that they must be more economically managed and better adopted to the particular re­ quirements of our tusk than they have been; and what 1 want to say is that the men and the women who devote their thought and their energy to these things will be serving the country and conducting the fight for peace and free­ dom just aa truly and Just as effective­ ly as the men on the battlefield or in the trenches. "The industrial forces of the coun­ try, men and women alike, will be a great national, a great international service army—a notable and honored host engaged in the service of the na­ tion and the world, the efficient friends and saviors of free men everywhere. Appeal to Farmers. “Thousands, nay, hundreds of thou­ sands of men otherwise liable to mili­ tary service, will of right and of neces­ sity be excused from that service and assigned to the fundemental, sustain­ ing work of the fields and factories, end mines, and they will be as much part of the great patriotic forces of the nation us the men under fire. “I take the liberty, therefore, of addressing this word to- the farmers of th* country and to all who work on the farms: The supreme need <* our own nation and of the nations with which we are co-o pertting is an abundance, of supplies, and espedally of foodstuffs. The importance of an adequate food supply, especially for the present year, is superlative. “Without abundant food, alike for the armies and the peoples now at war, the whole great enterprise upon which we have embarked will break down and faiL Hold Fate of Nations. “The world’s food reserves are low. Not only during the present emergency but for some time after peace shall have come both our own people and a large proportion of the people of Eu­ rope must rely on the harvests in America. "Upon the farmers of tills country, therefore, in large measure, rests the fate of the war and the fate of the nations May the nation not count upon them to omit no step that will increase the production of their land or that will bring about the most ef­ fectual co-operation in the sale and distribution of their products? "The time is short. It is of the most Imperative importance that everything possible be done and done Immediate­ ly to make sure of large harvests. 1 call upon young men and old alike and upon the able-bodied boys of the land to accept and act upon this duty—to turn in hosts to the farms and make, certain that no pains and no labor Is lacking in this great matter. "I particularly appeal to the farmers of the South to plant abundant food­ stuffs as well as cotton. “The government of the United States and the governments of the several states stand ready to cc4opcrate. They will do everything possi­ ble to assist farmers in securing an adequate supply of seed, an adequate force of laborers'when they are most needed at harvest time, and the means of expediting shipments of fertilizers and farm machinery, as well as of the crops themselves when harvested. Trade to Be Unhampered. “The course of trade shall be as un­ hampered as It is possible to make it, and there shall he no unwaranted manlpulatlo nof the nation's food sup­ ply by those who handle It on Its way to the consumer. “This let me say to the middlemen of every sort, whether they are han­ dling our foodstuffs or our raw mate­ rials of manufacture or the products of our mills and factories: The eyes of the country will be especially upon you. This Is your opportunity for sig­ nal service, efficient and disinterested. The country expects you. as It expects all others, to forego unusual profits, to organize and expedite shipments o* supplies of every kind, but especially of food, with an eye to the sendee you* are rendering and in the spirit of those who enlist in the ranks, for their peo­ ple, not for themselves. “I shall confidently expect you to deserve and win the confidence of peo­ ple of every sort and station. Efficiency on Railrozdz. “To the men who run the railways of the country, whether they be man­ agers or operative employees, let me say that the railways are the arteries of the nation's life, and that upon them rests the Immense responsibility of seeing to It that those arteries suffer no obstruction of any kind, no ineffi­ ciency or slackened power. "To the merchant let me suggest the motto, ‘Small profits and quick serv­ ice,* and to (he shipbuilder the thought that the life of the war depends upon him. The food and the war supplies must be carried across the seas no mat­ ter how many ships are sent to the bottom. The places of those that go down must be supplied at once. “To the miner let me say that he stands where the farmer does: The work of the world waits on him. If he slackens or fails, armies and states­ men are helpless. He also Is enlisted in the great Service army. “The manufacturer does not need to be told, I hope, that the nation looks to him to speed and perfect every pro­ cess; and I want only to remind his employees that their sendee Is abso­ lutely indispensable and is counted on by every man who loves the country nnd its liberties. Every Garden Helps. “Let me suggest also that every one who creates or cultivates a garden helps, and helps greatly, to solve The problem of the feeding of the nations; and that every housewife who prac­ tices strict economy puts herself In the ranks of those who serve the na­ tion. “This Is the tlme for America to cor­ rect her unpardonable fault of waste­ fulness and extravagance. Let every man and every woman assume the duty of careful, provident use and expendi­ ture as a public duty, as a dictate of patriotism which no one can now ex­ pect ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring. • .“In the hoj»e That this statement of the needs of the nation and of the world in this hour of supreme crisis may stimulate those to whom it romes and remind all who need reminder of the solemn duties of a time such as the world has never seen before, I beg that all editors and publishers everywhere will give as prominent publication and as wide circulation as possible to this appeal. “I venture to suggest also to all ad­ vertising agencies that they would per­ haps render a a very substantia! and Stimely service to the country if they iwould give it widespread repetition. And I hope that clergymen will not ■think the Theme of It an unworthy or (inappropriate subject of comment and (homily from their pulpit* “The supreme test of the nation has come. mus' aI* speak, act and serve together. “WINDROW WILSON."

CULTIVATE EVERY ACRE Government officials have voiced a strong plea to the farmers of the country; to cultivate to the limit, to the end that wc may not be hampered by a shortage in food supplies. The manufacturing interests of tho । country will supply tho vast quantl| ties of arms, ammunition and equlp' meat needed. Those are all in the | making even now. But food does 1 not grow where no seed has been 'planted, and without food no army । can fight and no people can exist. Therefore we ask the people of OUR OWN COMMUNITY to arise to 'the occasion and produce every ounce . ot foodstuffs that is withlq our powjer. I We may not all serve in the ranks, but wc can demonstrate our loyalty and our devotion to our country by heeding the plea of the president In an increased production of food sup­ plies. Let us not have an acre that is not under culivatlon or in pasturage. Let us not have even a back yard or vacant lot that is not producing something. Patriotism lies here just as strongly as it does on the battle line. MAPLE LEAF GRANGE. Maple Leaf Grange, No. 940 will meet at the hall Saturday evening, April 21, 1917.

We in­ tend to start early.” Dave was nearly speechless with de­ light, and when the mistress of Las Palmas "had gone upstairs he felt in­ clined to pinch himself to see If he were dreaming. He had pursued a fruitless quest during the past few days, and his resentment had grown as he bc-came certain that Tad Lewis had sent him on a wild-goose chase; but the sight of Alalre miraculously restored his good spirits, and the pros­ pect of a long, intimate ride In her company changed the Whole trend of his thoughts. His disappointment at not seeing her upon his visit to Las Palmas had only served to enhance his memories of their first meeting, and time now had deepened his interest tenfold. Yes, she was “The Lone Star," the estrella brillante of his empty sky. There could be no doubt about bls feelings; he was more than romantically interested, the mere sight ot her had electrified him. The discov­ ery distressed him, and he very prop­ erly decided that the affair should end here, since It could -lead to nothing except disappointment At the time of this story, relations between the United States and the es­ tablished government of Mexico were such that a hostility had sprung up between the troops fronting each other along tbe Rio Grande, and In conse­ quence their officers no longer crossed the boundary, even when off duty. It created a flurry of suppressed excite­ ment. therefore, when Luis Longorlo, the autocrat of the Potoslsta forces, boldly crossed the bridge, traversed the streets of Pueblo, and entered the Hamilton hotel. From his s?at in the lobby Law heard the general inquire for Mrs. Aus­ tin. and then saw him ascend in tho dlrectidb of the parlor. He rose and strolled restlessly about the hotel. A half-hour passed and Longorlo did not reappear; an hour dragged by, and then Dave took occasion to go to his room. A glance through the open par­ lor door showed the foreigner In closest conversation with Mrs. Austin. They were laughing; they were alone; even Dolores was nowhere to be seen. He chewed several cigars viciously before realizing that he was jealous—yes, madly, unreasonably jealous. So! His divinity was not as unap­ proachable as he had imagined. Doubt­ less Longoric was mad over her, which explained the fellow’s willingness to help her exact reparation from his gov­ ernment Fine doings for a respect­ able married woman! It was wrong, scandalous, detestable! Had Dave only known the truth, be would have gained a grim comfort from it for Alalre Austin was not en­ joying herself that evening. Her call­ er stayed on Interminably, and she be­ came restive under the flow of hla con­ versation. For some reason or other, Longorlo was not the romantic figure be had been; in his citizen’s clothes he was only a dandified Mexican gal­ lant like any number of others. The color was gone from the picture; this quixotic guerrilla hero, this elegant Ruy Blas, was nothing more than a tali olive-skinned foreigner, whose ar­ dor was distasteful. Longorlo was tiresome. CHAPTER X. Jose Sanches made use of the delay at Pueblo to institute further inquiries regarding his missing cousin, but no­ where could he find the slightest trace. Joee swore an oath that he would learn the truth if it required his whole life­ time, and, if it should turn out that his sainted relative had Indeed met with foul play—well! Jose told his friends they could Judge, by looking at him, the sort of man he was. He proud­ ly displayed Longorlo'/ revolver, and called It Ms cousin’s little avenger. The weapon had slain many; it had a duty still to perform, so he said. Jose intended to confide his purpose to Mrs. Austin, but when it came time to start for Las Palmas there was a fourth passenger in the automobile, and ha was obliged to hold his tongue ages, and I don’t know what Is going was giad'that he did not fondle It to that detestable Mexican fashion at which she had lately experienced M much; glad that the grasp of hla long, strong fingers was merely firm and friendly. When he. stepped back into the car and drove off through tb.a night, she stood for some time looking after him. Blase Jones had Insisted that pavd Hve at his house, and the Ranger had rowed machine up to the Jones house, about breakfast time, both Blaze and Paloma were delighted to see him. -Say, now 1 What you doing rolling around In a gasoline go-devllF the elder man inquired, and Law was forced to explain. “Father has never learned to drive a car without yelling ‘Gee’ and 'Haw,’ laughed Paloma. "And he,thinks he has title to the whole road, too. You know these Mexicans are alow about pulling their wagons to one side. WellJ father got mad one day, and when a team refused him the right of-way, he whipped out his revolver and fired.” Blaze smiled broadly. “It worked great And believe me, them Greaser# took to the ditch. I went through like a hot wind, but I shot up slxty-fivd cartridges between here and town." “Why didn't Mrs. Austin ask you td stay aH night at Las Palmas?” the girl inquired of Dave. "She did.” "Wonderful 1" Paloma's suiprlsq was evidently sincere. "I suppose you refused because of the way Ed treated you. TeU me, is she nice?” “She’s lovely." This vehement declaration brought a sudden gleam of interest into tho questioner’s eyes. “They say she has the most won­ derful gowns and jewels, and dresses for dinner every night Well”—Paloma tossed her head—Tm going to have some nice clothes, too. You wait!” "Now don’t you start riggin’ your*' self up for meals,” Blaze said, warn­ ing! y. “First thing I know, you’ll have me In a full-dress suit splllln’ soup on my shirt.” Then to his guest he complained, feelingly: “I don’t know what’s come over Paioma lately; this new dressmaker has plumb stampeded her. Somebody’d ought to run that feline out of town before she ruins me.” “She is u very nice woman,” com­ placently declared the daughter; but her father snorted loudly. “I wouldn't associate with such a critter.” "My! But you’re proud.” “It ain’t that,” Blaze defended him­ self. “I know her husband, and he’s a bad hombre. He backed me up against a waterin’ trough and told my fortune yesterday.

Well, he’s got all Jonesville walkin’ around ladders, and spittin’ through crossed fingers, and countin’ the spots on their nails.

Bay, Dave, this case of yours has stirred up a lot of feelin’ 'gainst Tad. The prosecutin’ attorney says he'll sure cinch him and Urbina both.

The people of Nashville and vicin­ ity who have been looking forward to Dollar Day as a great spring mer­ chandizing event will not be disap­ pointed. for a careful perusal ot the advertising columns of The News this week wlllshow them where they can make some wonderful savings on the necessaries of life, aa well as on what are considered luxuries. We do not remember to have ever seen, during our 33 years of business ex­ perience In Nashville, such " a uni­ fortuity of bargain-giving as Its here displayed. Very nearly every mercantile establishment ini Nashrille has taken hold of the Dollar Day movement in the right spirit. _. . . and all are endeavoring to do their very best in the offering of attrac­ tive bargains. Certainly it will pay prudent purchasers to come many miles out of their way If necessary in order to take advantage of the glittering array of bargains offered by our enterprising merchants for the big spring sale. The choice of the season’s best goods are being offer­ ed at prices which you can not hope to duplicate again for many months. Even if you are one of the few be­ nighted persons who “do not read the advertisements.” you will do well to break your rule this week, for it will pay you to read every advertisement there is In The News this week. There are temptations there which will not be laid in your way agair soon, you may be very sure of that. Even if Nashville is not your reg­ ular trading point, better make it so for next Saturday, at least, for in no town in Michigan will you be able to spend your dollars to as good ad­ vantage to your own purse as you will in Nashville next Saturday. Nashville's first Dollar Day. CAIT. FOWLER HEADS COMPANY Dr. S. M.

At least, it has come to the ears of the officers that a large num­ ber of them have been carrying re­ volvers around with them even in school. The officers have been in­ vestigating the matter and have al­ ready confiscated several weapons, and have about a dozen boys of var­ ious ages on the list for “toting” weapons. Strange as it may seem, some of them have been carrying these guns with the knowledge and consent of their parents, and some of the parents have been so foolish as to become indignant because the officers are making a fuss about it. We suppose these parents would condone it as an accident if their precocious offspring should cause the untimely demise of some other par­ ent's child. However, the officers are making a campaign to put a stop to It, and If after proper warn­ ing the practice is not stopped, some­ body's little darling Is likely to take a trip to Lansing for a definite stay under proper restrictions.

Notice is hereby given that cer­ tain lands situated in the county of Barry bld off to the State for taxes of 1913 and previous years, and described In statements which will be forwarded to the offle.e ot the Treas­ urer of said County, and may be seen at said office previous to the day of sale, will be sold at public auction by said Treasurer, at the County Seat, on the first Tuesday of May next, at the time and place designat­ ed for the Annual Tax Sale, If not previously redeemed or cancelled ac­ cording to law. Said statements contain a full description of each parcel of said lands. Oramel B. Fuller, < Auditor General. Camp Barry Is being prepared for the Fourth Annual Season which Is not very far away. Last week sev­ eral of the Hastings boys and the secretary spent two days at the camp when they planted a garden, put a cellai In the cook camp, laid a floor, secured a flag staff and made a number of other Improvements. This year camp will be hold from June 26 to July 5. The number will be limited and the first applications will be considered first. An addition­ al supply of tents will be necessary to accomodate the boys. This feat­ ure of the Y. M. C. A. work has been one ot the most delightful ones for the boys between 12 and 15 years. Gathered together for ten days un­ der , clean wholesome leadership these boys are bettered physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. Here they learn teamwork in their camp duties in which every boy has a part and in their play under sports­ manship of the highest type. Fair play and helping the othar fellow Is the rule in this "Camo of Ideals" where everything'Is done with a smile. Bible study and application of Christian prlnclplea are taken up each day after camp duties aro done. Health and first aid talks, inspir­ ational and educational addresses are given around the camp-fire. Safety is the watch woid and In the three years of the camp's exist­ ence not a single accident has hap­ pened to mar the success of the out­ ing. A long shallow sandy beach off Colgrove Point adds to the safety and fun. and strict supervision by leaders makes everything doubly safe. Boys return home healthier, happier, and with a greater sense of moral responsibility. It Is just as cheap for the Y. M. C. A. to board your boy ..for ten days as it Is for you and he will learn things of value that cannot be taught In any home. It is mixing character-building with fun and recreation.

Mich., Cornelius Mannl. Sheriff Barry Co. __ Tb. Htorr ot tho Wallet. Will Goss, who is spending a few days in Nashville visiting old friend*, tells a good one on himself. He wbi at’ Kalamazoo several week-* age and was going from there to New York, to attend a national meeting at the American Federation of i-abor, of which organization be !■ one of the vice presidents. He had pu»chaaod bls transportation and made bls pullman reservations, and wae about to take the train, when he happened to remember that an old Nashville friend bad given him a ne* pocketbook, and as the old one was rather frayed he emptied its contents, including his tickets and all his money, ieveral hundred ■dol­ lars, into the new wallet. A large crowd got off the train, and a goodly number embarked. Just as the train started to pull out somebody yelled "Stop, Thief,” and in the excitement Will encountered a man who laugh­ ingly exhibited a portion of his watch chain, showing where the "dip” -had clipped It when be took the watch. Of course, Will hadn’t been touched, be knew that all right, but Involuntarily he felt for bls new pocket-book, and by gosh, it was gone, money, tickets and all. It’s a good joke now, but Will couldn’t really feel that way about It at the time, especially as he had to wire borne for more money before he could continue his journey. Well, some people remember Kalamazoo for one thing and some tor another. Now some wise guy down at Wash­ ington has made the startling dis­ covery that Standard OU is respon­ sible for the high price of gasoline. It will probably result in Standard Oil making another boost In price, while the people wUl have to stand for an expense of'thousands ot dol­ lars for an "Investigation” which re­ sulted In such a perfectly amazing discovery. Very likely after while official Washington may be able to ascertain why butter and eggs are higher here than they are In London and Liverpool, and why the country­ newspapers have to pay eight cents a pound for news print which costs the mills about two cents to pro­ duce. Oh, veil, take your medi­ cine, you suckers, and quit kicking. Rarely have we seen so much sup­ pressed nervousness as has permeat­ ed the air of Nahville the past few days. The silent activity of the sheriff and deputy, the whispered conversations here and there In se­ questered spots, the fictitious gayety about the smashing of the big crock with the axe, the noticable qui&t of certain usually talkative members of society, all go to indicate that there Is something In the wind. We sincerely hope the matter will be settled without a break in diplomatic, relations. Don't you, boys? The Lazy Cum. A strapping young fellow was Idling around Gribbln's mill yard the other day and finally asked one, of the workmen If Gribb’rt had all the men he wanted. The workman told him to go and see Gribbln if he wanted a job. but the young fellow promptly replied,"! don’t want to work; I am looking for a job for my father." A year or two with Uncle Sam would do that young fellow a lot of good. Quite startling, when yon have young ladies visiting In your home, to find, upon retiring to your room at bed-time, your bed already occu­ pied.

BERA & SONS Of Course It Wouldn*L George Hamlin, during one of his horseback rides at Lake Placid, came across a solitary old man, who. seat­ ed in the doorway of his cabin, was fid­ dling away for dear life, quite regard­ less of such trifling conventionalities as time and tune. Hamlin listened awhile to the cacophony in amuse­ ment and then inquired casually, “How do you tune your violin?” The reply came with refreshing ingenuous­ ness : .1 don’t tune It—it don’t sound right If I do." Fire Caused Snow. A snowstorm has been known before now to start a fire. A farmer living 4n a rural part of Belgium placed a quantity of quicklime near a shed on his form, and left It there all night. In the course of the night snow fell onto the lime, and the heat thus de­ veloped became so great that it set the shed on fire, completely destroying it and its contents. New Varnish. A new varnish which, when applied to metal, gives it a crystallized effect is now on the market and Is known as crystallizing lacquer. It Is as yet to be had only In black and tn a trans­ parent varnish ihat gives the effect of frosted glass except that the design is not so regular. Hat ornaments, belt buckles, buttons and all sorts of articles may be coated with It with excellent results. She Wasn’t to Be Caught Mr. Lawhead—“Why do you. treat me so coldly?

McDERBY ERIES - DRY GOODS BIG NUOBIH IN BOTH HOUSES Senate Vote Is 81 to 8 and House 397 to 24. “T.

Washington, April 30.—Conscription was decreed by congress on Saturday night an the military means to em­ ploy to bring the Imperial German gov­ ernment to terms and to end the war. "Both houses spent the day and eve­ ning In perfecting the.bill. On final passage the measure went through by the following votes: House—For, 397; against, 24. Senate—For 81; against, 8. The result established beyond doubt the determination of congress not to resort to the old method of volunteers. The house went so for Friday in Ita opposition to volunteers as to re­ fuse to adopt a provision under which Colonel Roosevelt might offer his fa­ mous division for service. The senate gave approval to the Harding amendment, which will per­ mit the president to accept the Roose­ velt command. * Those Against Draft. Here were the votes taken before final action which sealed the doom of volunteering: For. Against 297 House .................................. 93 813 House ............................... 109 69 Senate ............................... 18 The first house vote substituted the administration bill for the Dent vol­ unteer-conscription plan. The second L—<se vote adopted the motion of Congressman Kahn, in charge of the administration fight, to strike out all volunteer provisions from the Dent measure. The senate vote was directed against the McKellar amendment authorizing the president to raise a force of 500,­ 000 volunteers for service in the Excltement In House. Tense excitement prevailed in the house during the lengthy session, and particularly when the final vote was taken. To the astonishment of the members and the crowded galleries. Speaker Clark and Majority Leader Kitchin recorded themselves in favor of the passage of the measure. Here is the list of members who voted against the bill: Alabama—Burnett, Hudleston. Californla-^Church, Hayes, Nolan, Randall. Colorado—Hilliard, Keating. Florida—Clark, Fears. Illinois—King, Mason. Kentucky—Powers. Michigan—Bacon. * Minnesota—Lundin. North Carolina—Dominick. Ohio—Claypool, Grosser, Gordon, Sherwood. Washington—Dill, La Follette. The senators who voted against the conscription bill follow: Democrats—Gore, Hardwick, Kirby, Thomas, Trammell—5. Republicans—Borah, Gronna, La Follette—3. (Vardaman excused from voting.) « Senate Approves T. R. Plan. But while the senate and house manifested indubitably their purpose to adopt conscription, the national sentiment in favor of authorizing CoL Theodore Roosevelt to go to France proved so strong that the Harding amendment to this end was adopted in the senate. The house on Friday rejected the proposal by a vote of 170 to 106. The senate on Saturday night, however, adopted It t>y a vote of 56 to 8L The conference committee now will lure to determine the question of whether or not any volunteers whatever shall be accepted.

ASSYRIA FARMERS’ CLUB. The A. F. C. was very pleasantly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Sperry Thomas at their home in Northeast Assyria April 28th. Owing to the extremely busy season for the farm­ ers there was not a large crowd, but it proved a very enjoyable and pro­ fitable meeting for those who did at­ tend. The morning session was omitted and after a bountiful dinner the fol­ lowing program was given: President Kent called for order, and all joined in singing “Work for the Night is Coming.” Mrs. Nina Tasker offered prayer. ' A short business session was then held. Miss Anna Thoma gave a very pleasing recitation. Mrs. Celia Tungate gave a piano solo. Clark H. Hayes, a representative of the State Live Stock Sanitary Commis­ sion, then gave a very instructive talk on Hog Cholera Control Work. It is to be regretted that every man in the townshp could not have heard it. Miss Scothorne sang very sweetly “At. the End of a Beautiful Day,” and responded to the hearty applause with “The Slumber Boat.” Bernice Vedder gave two pleasing instrumental numbers. At this time it was suggested that the club commit to memory and sing the “Star Spangled manner” at the next meeting. After singing “America,” the„ meeting adjourned to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Will Vedder In May. So far. a good sale on self-gener­ ating blue flame Quick Meal gaso­ Mrs. C. S.

EXPANDS ARMY TO 293,000 Existing Units of Regulars to Be Made Over Into 44- Regi­ ments. Washington, May/ 15.—Orders to bring the regular army to its full war strength of 293,000 men were an­ nounced by the war department Or­ ganization of 44 new regiments began today, with further efforts to stimulate recruiting and bring in the 116,455 men needed to fill up the-ranks. Since April 1 67,443 men have been accepted. Expansion of the army will be ac­ complished by converting each exist­ ing battalion into a full regiment Syracuse, N. YM will be the largest single expansion post At least three Infantry regiments now on the border win be sent Immediately to Syracuse for expansion. No orders have been issued ns yet covering actual war mobilization of the National Guard. The wnr de­ partment is understood to be waiting action by congress on the adminis­ tration war army bill. Material al­ teration by congress of the project for army building mapped out would compel a revision of the plans In many respects. When the expansion Is complete, the regular army, will have seven full divisions, including the four infantry and two cavalry divisions r<-garded as essential troops of the mobile army.

One of the largest and most patri­ otic audiences of the year filled the opera house Sunday night at the meeting for the Red Cross and the Home Guard. According to program, the mem­ bers of the Home Guard met at the Nashville club and marched to the opera house in a body, taking seats which had been- reserved for them on the east side of the house, while the ladies of the W. L. C„ who had assembled at the Community House, marched in and took seats at the west side. The meeting was presided over by Von W. Furnlss, and patriotic songs were sting by the audience during the evening, accompanied by the Hunt orchestra. Ralph McNltt fa­ vored the audience with a solo, which was heartily appreciated. The principal speaker of the even­ ing was Lee M. Hutchins of Grand Rapids, who presented the cause of the Red Cross in a most forceful manner. Capt. H. L. Rockwood explained the Ho^ne Guard proposition and its position in regard to the protection of Michigan from riots, strike?, and Invasion during (he absence of the Michigan National Guard. Mrs. R. C. Townsend told of the organization of the Red Cross move­ ment in the county at a meeting held at Hastings that afternoon. C. L. Glasgow then followed with a characteristic talk in which he ex­ tolled the virtues and merits of the Red Cross and urged a large mem­ bership and a liberal contribution from Nashville. He evidently mis­ took the earnest quiet of the audi­ ence for lack of enthusiasm, nt least his remarks suggested something of the sort, but he was compelled to change his mind when two hundred in the audience joined the Red Cross, and more than 3250. was subscribed. This will give the Red Cross cam­ paign in Castleton township a fine start. It is planned to hold meet­ ings in ever)- church in the town­ ship. and to enlist as nearly as pos­ sible every man, woman and child in the township as an active member and a contributor to the work. Mrs. Daisy Townsend, who is the chair­ man of the work for this township, s appointing the various committees and is arranging to gel all ot the forces actively at work at the ear­ liest possible moment. This Red Cross movement is the most import­ ant and the most vital one In con­ nection with the war. outside of the military, and. is deserving of the whole-hearted support of every loyal person.

Ten days of clean, wholesome outing under Christian leadership will do more for the development of his character than a whole summer at a "go-as-you-please or do-as-youplease” resort. Camp Barry is a "Camp of Ideals'* and the greatest single character­ builder In the program of the Y. M. C. A. ”1 got more out of this morn­ ing’s Bible study lesson than I have ever gotten out of ten years of Sun­ day echool", said one camper last year. It was the association of Christian ideals with "roughing it” that caused thia outburst of boyish It is a place where athletic sports harden the muscles, tan the skin, broaden the shoulders, brighten the eye, and send each lad home "brown as a berry and hard as nail*.” It la a safe place for parents to send their boy for that necessary outing where he develops phyblcaliy, mentally, so­ cially and spiritually under strong Christian leaders. Not a single accident has occur- accidents ahd makes it a safe place. A long sandy beach patrolled by the "life-saving crew’’ makes bathing much safer than the "ole swimmln* hole” on the river and every boy Is given a chance to swim. No firearms are allowed; no boat* may be used without permission; swimming at stated periods only, under safe and proper supervision. Any boy of good character between 12 and 16 years Is eligible for these t?n wonderful days of swimming, boating, athletics, nature study, health talks, baseball, cricket, first aid, good water, pure air and nour­ ishing food. Sunday schools are es­ pecially invited to elect their repre­ sentative to Camp Barry. The num­ ber will be llml’ed agd only tbb first applications will be considered. It will be just as cheap for the Y. M. C. A. Ao feed the boy as for the parents. The registration fee of one dollar muiit accompany the applica­ tion before June 15. The balance of five dollar* will be paid the first day of camp. For further information write to the Barry County Committee of the Young Men’s Christian association, L. C.

Many people, even including eome noted financiers, arc afraid of hard times because your Uncle Samuel is going to raise several billions of dol­ lars for war purposes, and they see in to think that fact is going to make hard times In this country. Get It out of your system. Much-of that huge sum is going to come out ot hiding in vaults, savings banks and old socks, and practically every dol­ lar of it will be put into circulation in thia country, for munitions of war, for uniforms, for oalariee to soldiers and sailors, for food stuffs and supplies of all kinds. This applies to all of tbe money we will loan to the Allies, as well as to what we spend ourselves. Practically every dollar of It will be spent In the United States and will be put into active circulation. How the dick­ ens can that make times hard in this country? It can’t be done. A panic might be caused sometimes by a lot of people croaking “hard times," but even that can’t be done now for the reason that there is too much going on that simply can’t be stop­ ped. Take another hitch In your belt and get busy. Don’t waste; food stuffs, for that Is foolish at any time and nothing short of crimina now, but don’t pinch the dollars in other matters, for with all these ex­ tra billions of dollars in circulation we are -bound to have good times, in spite of all we can do.

Some of them in massiveness and in outlay, of money have been of Crpesusylike proportions. For instance "The Birth of a Nation,” "Intoler­ ance,” A Daughter ot the Gods" and last but not least, “Civilization.” Produced by Thomas H. Ince, with­ out doubt unequaled as a producer of masterpieces of motion picture art, "Civilization” stands without a peer. 'A million dollar production, it is to be sure, a decrying against war, but still at the same time, not In the nature of the evercrying peace-lov­ ing, smlte-me-upon-the-other-cheek method of abolishing forever man’s greatest and most destructful sin— War. On the other hand it brings forth In never-dying iliustraXIon just wtmt war is. Paints it as It is in reality. Paints it in the colors that man has created for it, harsh and cruel tho these colors may be. Brings forth the reasons why these great United States have risen in righteous indig­ nation over debaucheries, the cruel­ ties and the ruthlessness as practic­ ed in conflict by some nations and why at this very moment is assisting in ending, and it may be hoped for all time, the needless slaughter of every mother’s son, that some self­ ish and aspiring individual or Individ­ uals may profit. , “Civilization” Is an argument against despotism; against the vest­ ing in one ruler the power of life and death over men, women and children; an argument for democra­ cy of the people. Stupendous in Its conception, glittering in its pageantry and sym­ bolic in Its form is “Civilization.” Only one other motion picture pro­ ducer since the cinema came into its own is entitled to rank with this masterpiece, and that is David Grif­ fith’s “The Birth of a Nation.” And not even has Griffith’s fam­ ous picture contained the thrilling scenes to be found in "Civilization." Ince, the master producer has spared neither expense nor energy In the producing of this era-marking spec­ tacle,’for lavishness is the keynote throughout At all times a student of intricate detail. Ince has incor­ porated within his great story an at­ tention to detail, most wonderful to behold. Employing a vast multitude of actors, 40.000 In number, 6000 horses, a squadron of aeroplanes and a complete flotilla of battle craft, "Clvilazatlon” is a stupendous pro­ duction which no one can afford to miss during ite engagement at the SUr Theatre on Tuesday, June 12th.

She Joined in the tvniils game,' constantly locking for Neil to' appear, but he did not route. ’She next .wished for her brother to put in fiu appearance-. He had nob been home usual with him. • But neither did Ned Barry come to enlighten her fully on the fracas affair. After the garden -party had dispersed, Clio put on her bat and started for the village. Her Sather had been absent for a week, but was expected on the evening train. Clio went to the depot, but was dis­ appointed, as the. Judge did not come as she had expected. She took a roundabout and lonely course homeward bound. It was by way of the college campus. Clio would have Indignantly respfited a charge that she hoped to meet Neil, still, be was on her mind. There was a barren stretch to cover the half-mile distance to home. She hurried, her steps as she passed a wagon with a canvas top. Then she shrunk back and uttered a faint scream as a man jumped from Its side. He grasped her, looked keenly into her face aud placed a rough hand over her lips. “Quick, Nance, bring a muffler! We've got a prize, It’s the girl.we’re after.” ’ > A new sensation greeted Brampton, the next morning. Its Luspense and terror lasted through the day ensuing. Miss Barry had disappeared. Had she eloped, committed suicide, or been kid­ naped? Mr. Burry was telegraphed for. Ned Barry In a frenzy led the town officers in a vain search for his missing sister. Then strange, mysterious rumors spread about Nell Osborne was also missing.. All kinds of theories were exploited. And the third morning an automobile drove Into town, delivering Miss Barry at her home and Nell at the college. ' • "Then It was no elopement, after all?” fluttered Elsa Danvers breath­ lessly as she dashed in upon Clio. “Oh, tell us all about It, dear!” "It was gypsies,” pronounced Clio— "gypsies who curried me away to later seek a ransom from dear papa.

When he found me In the gypsy camp, if you could have seen him fight in. turn six great wicked gypsies! I'm safe back home only because ‘a coward’ risked his life for me!" And Clio’s eyes glowed with fervor. ' Later the truth came out. That night of the fracas Nell Osborne knew that Ned Burry was lying In n stupor of intoxication in the billiard room and his assailants In about the same con­ dition. To save a scandal he had ac­ cepted a charge of cowardice. At their wedding one year later Clio wore across her bosom as an orna­ ment unique—a white feather, held In place by a rose. , Followers of the Star.

The scene of this animation will, be the drill and training field of the' American Flying Corps, the site' known as Joy Aviation Field, about three miles east of the celebrated bath city of Mt. Clemons and twenty; minutes by leisurely aeroplane flight from Detroit. . Work is already under way on the1 extension of the Grand Trunk Rail­ way from Mt. Clemens to the field. Roads are being constructed, ground cleared for the building of hangars and barracks, stations provided for the receiving of aupplles, water and sewerage systems being laid. When the improvements are advanced suf­ ficiently and the training school started, Detroit, Mt. Clemens and other communities In this section of Michigan will see airplane flights without number and be first-hand witnesses to the development of Am­ erican aircraft military science. “As a spectacle, the training camp and the activities of Its soldierly In­ structors and pupils will be the ed,“ declared Henry B. Joy, the man who first caught the vision ot this site as an aviation ground, and for whom the field was named. The government formally took over the Joy field on May 23rd. The following day, Albert Kahn, not­ ed Michigan architect, was engaged on planing for the grouping of-the buildings and laying-out ot the av­ iation city. Another twelve hours, and the construction gangs were at work on grading and excavation. The speed with which the build­ ing ot the camp now Is going for­ ward was made possible by the work of Henry Joy in the' last two and a halt years. Mr. Joy was president of the Packard Motor Car Company when the European war broke out. He soon saw that aircraft were play­ ing an increasingly important part In the war. He became convinced that aircraft quite probably would prove to be the determining weapon In the great struggle. The preeminence occupied by De­ troit In the motor manufacturing Industry, the grouping of facilities for experiment and for manufac­ turing In the motor metropolis, the presence of hundreds of engineers expert In the science of automotive engineering and of thousands of me­ chanics trained in the making of motors, all pointed logically to De­ troit as a potential center of the av­ iation engine industry. Mr. Joy set about locating a site within easy range of Detroit for the trying out ot aircraft and the train­ ing of aviators. • He found a square of land between the Clinton river . A Bird Cage.

In all Mr, Joy spent about >200,000 on this work. The people of Mt. Clemens co-op­ erated by opening a broad 100-foot highway from the city directly to the field. , The Packard Motor Company meanwhile, set about the develop­ ment of an airplane engine that should be equal, If not superior, to the best aircraft motors In war ser­ vice In Europe. For more than a year, research and experiment on such an engine has been carried on by J. G. Vincent, Vice-President nf Engineering,' aaslsted by W. B. Stout, Chief. Engineer ot the Aircraft Division. The first aircraft motor built by the Packard Company was turned out ot the experimental lab­ oratory in January. It developed 225 horsepower on tho dynamomet­ er test. Army aircraft engineers have been present at recent tests of IL Ail indications are that it will prove a superior engine In every respect. » Months ago, Mr. Joy offered the field to the government at cost. Army aviation experts, both Amer­ ican and foreign, visited it in com­ pany wth civil aircraft engineers and pronounced It admirable. But ow­ ing to the Inaction of Congress, the American Signal Corps of the army could not take It over. It was not until the recently enacted army ap­ propriation bill was passed that the funds were available. The army authorities then made their decision immediately. The field has been leased to the government with the option to purchase. 'The field is a broad, unobstructed, level plain, about a mile square. It offers both land and water flying courses, and the water is a quiet bay, unused to traffic, over which the aviators may practice bombing at. ,will. The main Great Lakes ship channel is considerably to the east­ ward of it, and there is no possibility of damage either to navigation or to shore property. Communication with Detroit is by rail, two electric lines and two main ; highways suited for trucking. It. will be an easy matter to keep up con-i tinuous supply ot material. The section round about la fertile, pro-1 ducing In quantity many of the pro-< visions the camp may require. Pop-1 ular interest In the work of develop- 1 Ing the field and of training the avia- . tors will be sustained by the freedom of access over the various routes of ( travel between Detroit and the field. The selection of this field by the government, together with the work j already done to manufacture air­ plane engines of superior capacity. Is a long step toward the establish­ ment of a new and vastly important industry in Detroit and Michigan, said Mr. Joy. We have every facil­ ity for the rapid development of this industry to a point hitherto unrealiz­ ed^ in America, and I shall be much disappointed If indeed we do not take tn aviation the place of established command that we enjoy as the motor metroplis of the world. The development of this industry presents more than attractive econ­ omic possibilities. Bound up In It is a serious patriotic duty toward the successful prosecution of the war In which we are now engaged; for I sincerely believe th^t, next to the British fleet, the aviation motor will prove the determining factor in the Great War..

These large and martial days are softened by many melting, incidents. One of the most memorable fras the march of 10,000 Polish-Amerlcans In the Memorial Day parade. The thrilling climax of their movement came when 300 Polish Falcons step­ ped from among them in front of the city hall, and were enlisted as volunteers in the war democracy. That was a sight to make Ameri­ cans of all ancestries feel the tug­ ging strength of common ties. Out of three countries, Russia, Germany, Austria, came the fathers of these youths. Those fathers could look backward to a common historic memory. Where they look­ ed backward their sons looked for­ ward, to a common hope which they share with all of us. Whatever the old-time difference of Lithuania and Poland, whatever the different futures of Russian or German or Austrian Poland, no European divisions divide the Poles under the American flag. They marched together, they enlist togeth­ er, Polish Sokol, American Falcons. And we can well believe that this is true of all other Americans, how­ ever split and broken their kindred may be In Europe. Among Americans of every de­ scent the patriot Is the rule. The backward-looking, discontented, dis­ loyal Intruder is the rare exception.

Message From State Department to Delegatee Outlines Peace Alms of the United States—Seek to Aid Slavs. * Washington, June 4L—The American mission to Russia, headed by Ellhu Root arrived at a Russian port. - Announcement of. the safe passage of the commission was made on Sun­ day by Secretary Daniels, who re­ ceived a dispatch from the commander of the vessel on which the Journey was made. Former Senator Root and his col­ leagues will proceed to Petrograd Im­ mediately, arriving there when the new government Is hemmed in on all sides by disorganization, royalist plots, radical uprisings and lack of power to meet the situation which threat-' ens to force a separate peace or at the best remove Russia from consider­ ation as a belligerent. U. S. War Alms Are Given. Mr. Root bears plenipotentiary pow­ ers to. act for the United States. Timed to coincide with his arrival, a message from the state department outlining the war aims of the United States has been cabled to the de facto government of Russia. This statAnent was drafted by Pres­ ident Wilson. It is addressed to Rus­ sia for two main reasons—to brace her by assurance of America’s aid and to convey to the Liberals of Russia the knowledge America is fighting for the same ideals which they demand as part of any peace treaty. The Wilson statement was cabled several days ago, but has been with­ held from publication in America In courtesy to Russia. Peace Alm* of U. 8. It was indicated that the salient features of the statement would be IncorjKjrated in the registration day announcement on which President Wilson has been working several days. The registration day proclamation will contain an epitome of what Amer­ ica Is fighting for and what she will demand when the peace commission­ ers begin work on a treaty. The peace alms—or demands—of America are approximately as fol­ lows : 1. Crushing of militarism and aban­ donment of heavy armaments as a guarantee against junkerlsm again plunging the world Into a sea of blood and make democracy safe against the onslaughts of an Imperial clique. 2. Freedom of the seas and re­ striction of the use of submarines as a weapon of offense. Crews of mer­ chant vessels must be assured safety. Restrictions on the use of many Im­ plements of land war are also likely. Polson gas. liquid flames and simi­ lar weapons are regarded as too In-, human to be allowed to be employed again. 3. Binding guarantees that small nations and their rights will be re­ spected. Tills Includes the recrea­ tion and Indemnity of Belgium, Ser­ bia and other little countries wiped out by the Germans, as well as the establishment, as far as possible, of borders on racial lines. A Jewish republic in Palestine may be an out­ growth of the war. and this Is ’fa­ vored by the United States.

"American markets will soon feel the effects of war prosperity", says the Grand Rapids Press. "An­ nouncement Is made that It will not be many months before expenditure of a 110,000,000,000 war fund under a general director and a corps of ex­ perts familiar with the American markets will begin. This plan In­ cludes the purchase of supplies fot virtually all the entente armies and disbursement of about $3,500,000­ 000 for American army and navy equipment. This money will not all be spent during 1917 but it should cause an appreciable increase in ex­ ports for the fiscal year. It is es­ timated now that this increase will be fully 50 per cent over last year, when the United States exported merchan­ dise of all kinds, valued at $4,333,658,865.••••When America gets in­ to her stride with her share of the gigantic task that Is imposed, the effect will be apparent both at home and abroad. Business will jump for­ ward as never beforeand new strength will be given the armies overseas. The country must work and plan with all its ability to carry through suc­ cessfully this vital undertaking."

President Wilson has designated the week of June 18 to 23 as the week when a great forward move­ ment will be inaugurated to raise $100,000,000. in this country for the necessary relief work which the Red Cross society will undertake in this country and in Europe. The local chapter has telegraph­ ed for printed matter and supplies so that Barry County may line up for next week and join the great nation-wide campaign. Although the order was sent Monday and shipment by express was requested, it may be that the state and nation­ al headquarters may not be in a position to comply promptly. If ’he supplies arrive in time, Barry coun­ ty will get into line for a county­ wide push to reach the goal which the Barry County Chapter has set— 10,000 members and $20,000 cash. That is very little for Barry coun­ ty to do for the 150 young men who will be drafted in September and the 150 more who will be selected a few weeks later. If the supplies do not arrive, the campaign will have to be delayed. But whenever It is undertaken we know the loyal people of Barry county will back it up with their ac­ tive support and their dollars.

Kraft & Son Groceries Versions of "Star-Spangled Banner.” The third line of "The Star-SpangledBanner” has had two versions. Bryant, in his “Library of Poetry and Song," gives it “Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight.” and Stedman. In Ids “American Anthology," makes It rend. “Whose broad stripes.and bright stars through the clouds of the fight" No version of the song makes the line end with '“night" instead of “fight” Footwear True In Some Cases. A book reviewer In the Lntylon Times makes the rather remarkable assertion that the word “Interesting" is not one that should ordinarily be applied toe work of fiction. It is re­ markable tiecause, for some occult rea­ son, he considers the word unsuitable In its application to any fiction of whatever character. If he bad said that It has no fitness when applied to much current fiction he would have aroused no surprise.—Exchange. Flowers of Sanctity. Long ago certain fragrant flowers bloomed. They were of eight kinds and belonged to the species called "flowers of sanctity." Their-nnmgs, as rendered from the Sanskrit were: .Clemency, Self-Restraint, Affection. Patience, Resignation (repression of any mental perturbation), Devotion, It is thought Meditation.

Protein, fat and carbohydrates arc-the three elements, chemlcayy speaking, -----• J" ­ that every human being needs^ In addi tion to these there are minute constitu­ ents which are not usually considered, but which have a tremendous impor­ tance In making diet, palatable and beneficial. These constituents are pres­ ent in most kinds of fresh fruit and green vegetables.'s<El»ey are referred to as vitamines or accessory factors. Origin of Garden Carrot Wild carrot or Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota) Is thought to be the plant from which the cultivated gar­ den carrot originated. The garden carrot, if allowed to grow unmolested for several years, gradually loses the | highly developed crown-tuber for which it is valued as a vegetable, and becomes Indistinguishable from the or- 1 rllnnrv dlnary ti-llrt wild carrot Not Supernatural at All. There used to be a belief that rats never went on a ship that was destined to founder at sea. This has a fine supernatural rifig; but, as a matter of fact, has a good deal of truth nt the bottom. Unseaworthy vessels In the olden days were likely to be leaky and contain much bilge-water, The rata would naturally abandon such damp quarters for a drier berth. ’ Starlings by the Million. Starlings In Europe traditionally (and actually) congregate in such great flights that their millions darken the sky like n passing cloud. They are the terror of the fruit grower, but they do at least one compensative service, by eating the destructive land .snails, which are very numerous, and with which the United States is not similar­ ly afflicted. Knew His Age. Allan, on his second birthday, told by his mother that.he was two years old. That same day his mother weighed him, and as she lifted him off the scale she said: "You tyeigh just thirty pounds.*.' That evening, when the little boy’s father came home he said: “WeU, Allan, how old are you?" Allan hesitated a few seconds and then repUed, “Two years and thirty pounds." Where Onion Gets its Odor. The strong flavor and odor of all the members of the onion family are due to the presence of allyl sulphld, an ollllk• organic compound, of sulphur. The flavor-yielding material Is’ very volatile and is broken down by heat to some extent. Consequently, the cooked vegetable has a milder flavor than the raw. Curiosity of Language. The Greek word for iron, slderoa. Is the same as Latin for star, now called sun. But how did this happen? The good Greeks centuries B. XJ. had no spectroscopes and were not aware that iron exists In a billion suns. This curi­ osity of language was noticed by Un­ gulate once spectroscopists proved that iron is seen In every direction In the Mderal (Iron) universe.

HURD Local Agent Maxfr&l FIRST IN ECONOMY FIRST IN MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY With a score of 39.67 miles per gallon for 50 cars, and 27.47 miles for 892 cars, the nation-wide Maxwell Gasoline Economy Demonstration on May 23rd has inspired the Maxwell Motor Company to put up $50,000 for another great one-gal­ lon economy contest, the prizes to consist of United States Liberty Bonds. $25,­ 000 of these bonds are to be awarded as owner’s prizes for mileage made on one gallon of gasoline, the contest to be open to any owner in the United States and to take place from June 16 to 30. See local dealer for particulars. Hundreds of Maxwells on May 23rd made good our claim that a Maxwell will go farther on a gallon of gasoline than any other 5-passenger car—now, from June 16 to 30, 40,000 Maxwells are expected to make as good ora better showing. As regards mechanical efficiency, the Maxwell demonstrated its superiority in the Non-Stop Runs made recently. In California, on November 22, 1915. a Max­ well car made the record run of 22,020 miles over country roads, without stopping. In Massachusetts, starting on November 22,1916, another Maxwell made a run of 23,500 miles through the New England states in winter weather. Much larger records could have been made, but both cars were deliberately stopped, with the motors purring as evenly at the close of the runs as at the start.

Dave took the river bank to Sangre de Cristo, where, by means of the di­ lapidated ferry, he gained the Mexican side. Once across, he rode straight up toward the village of Romero. When challenged by an undersized aoMler he merely spurred Montrosa forward, eying the sentry so grimly that the man did no more than finger his rifle uncertainly, cursing under his breath the overbearing airs of all gringos. Nor did the rider trouble to make the slight­ est detour, but cantered the full length of Romero’s dusty street, the target of more than one pair of hostile eyes. To those who saw him, soldiers and civil­ ians alike. It was evident that this stranger had business, and no one felt called upon to question Its nature.

For all the signs he saw. he might then have been in the heart of a foreign country. Mex­ ico had swallowed him. As the afternoon heat subsided. Mont­ rosa let herself, out Into a freer gait and began to cover the distance rapid­ ly, heading due west through a land of cactus and dagger, of thorn and barb and bramble. The roads were unfenced, the mcadows desolate; the huts were frequent­ ly untenanted.' Ahead the sky burned splendidly, and the sunset grew more brilliant, more dazzling, --until It glorifled the whole mean, thirsty, cruel countryside. Dave's eyes were set upon that riot of blazing colors, but for the time It failed to thrill him. In that welter of changlug hues and tints he saw only red. Red! That was the color of blood; it stood for passion, hist, vio­ lence; and It was a fitting Badge of color for this land of revolutions ami alarms. At first he saw little else— except the hint of black despair to fol­ low. But there was gold In the sunset, too—the yellow gold of ransom I That • was Mexico—red and yellow, blood and gold, lust and license. Once the rider’s fancy began to work In this fashion, it would not rest, and as the sunset grew in splendor he found In it richer mean­ ings. Red was the color of a woman’s tips—yes, and a woman's hair. The deepening blue of the high sky over­ head was the hue of a certain woman’s eyes. Assuirm, soft breeze out of tne west beat Into his face, and he remem­ bered how warm and soft Alalre’s breath had been upon his cheek. The woman of his desires was yon­ der, where those colors warred, and she was mantled In red and gold and purple for his coming. The thought aroused him; he felt only a throbbing eagerness to see her and to take her In bls arms once more before the end. With ids head high and his face agleam, he rode into the west.

Bodies possessing an identity all their own, with refinements in every feature that make for comfort and beauty, which is characterized by strength, lightness and mechanical efficiency. . The Oldsmobile, however, In ap­ pearance Is neither merely common nor elaborately ornate. It strikes the happy medium of true motor car beauty, for it Is the accomplish- ment of designers who are,gained-by the dictum of good taste. , In business, in sport and in social usage the Oldsmobile holds a posi­ tion of rank. The several models are full worthy to carry the prestige bestowed upon them by a long line of Illustrious predecessors. Distinction Is reflected In every line and curve of the Oldsmobile. The radiator, of a new and extremely at­ tractive form. Is in harmony with the lamps, and strikes the keynote of smartness which Is Instantly appar­ ent In the Oldsmobile body, hood. and fender design, The Oldsmobile emblem Is mounted on the radiator shell.

"What'i This I Hear About Warr ranch-hands to put no faith In these ridiculous stories. If they wish the truth let them ask General Longorio; he will be here today and quiet their fears.” “You think he intends to pay us for our cattle?" "Yes." Dolores pondered a moment “Well, perhaps fie It U Q2t Us For that matter, he would give all Mex­ ico if you asked it Tse! His love consumes him like a fever." Alalre stirred uneasily; then she rose and went to an open window, which looked out into the tiny patio with Its trickling fountain and its rank, untended plants. "Why do you Insist that he loves me?" she asked. “All Mexicans are gallant and pay absurd compliments. It's just a way they have. He has never spoken a word that could give offense." As Dolores said noth­ ing. she went on, hesitatingly, “I can’t very well refuse to see him, for I don’t possess even a receipt to show that he tnnlr ” took Miose rnftln cattle." "Oh, you must not offend him," Do­ lores agreed, hjistlly. "or we'd never leave Mexico dive." With which cheer­ ing announcement the housekeeper heaved a deep sigh and went about her duties with a gloomy face. Longorio arrived that afternoon, and Alaire received him In the great naked living room of the hacienda, with her best attempt at formality. But her coolness served not In the least to chill his fervor. "Senora," he erk-d, eagerly, "I have a thousand things io tell you. things of the greatest Importance. They have been upon my tongue for hours, but now that I behold you I grow drunk with delight and my Ups frame nothing but words of admiration for your beauty. So I I feast my eyes." He re­ tained his warm clasp of her fingers, seeming to envelop her uncomfortably with his ardor. • “What is It you have to tell me?” she asked him, withdrawing her hand. "Well, I hardly know where to begin •—events have moved so swiftly, and such incredible things have happened. Even now I am in a daze, for history is being made every hour—history for Mexico, for you, and for me. I bring you good news and bad news; some­ thing to startle you and set your brain In a whirl. I planned to send a mes­ senger ahead of me, and then I said: *No, this Is a crisis; therefore no tongue but mine shall apprise her, no hand but mine shall comfort her. Only a coward shrinks from the unpleasant; I shall tighten her distress and awaken In her breast new hope, new happi­ ness'—" “What do you mean?" Alalre in­ quired, sharply. "You say you bring bad news?” The general nodded. “In a way, ter­ rible, shocking I And yet I look be­ yond the Immediate and see In it a blessing. So must you. To mo It spells the promise of my unspoken longings, my whispered prayers." Not­ ing his hearer’s growing bewilderment, he laid a hand familiarly upon her arm. “No matter how I tell you. It will be a blow, fof death Is always sud­ den ; It always finds us unprepared." “Death? Who—is dead?" “Restrain yourself. Allow for my clumsiness.” “Who? Please teti me!” “Someone very close to you and i . dear to you at one time. My knowF i edge of your long unhappiness alone gives me courage to apeak.” Alalre raised her fluttering fingers to her throat; her eyes were wide as she said: "You don't mean—Mr. AustinF “Yes." Longorio scrutinized her closely, as if to measure the effect of his disclosure. "Senora, you are free I" Alalre uttered a breathless exclama­ tion ; then, feeling his gaze burning In­ to her, turned away, but not before he had noted her sadden pallor, the blanching of her lips.

W. GRIBBIN, Dealer and Distributor This unexpected announcement dazed her; It scattered her thoughts and robbed her of words, but Just what her dominant emotion was at the mo­ ment she could not tell. Once her first giddiness had passed, however, one* the truth had borne in upon her, she found that she felt no keen anguish, and certainly no Impulse to weep. Rather she experienced a vague horror, such as the death of an acquaintance or of n familiar relative might evoke. Ed had been anything but a true hus­ band. and her feeling now was more for the memory of the man he bad been, for1 the boy she had known and loved, than for the man whose name she bore. So he was gone and. Longorio said, she was free. It meant much. She realized dimly that In this one moment her whole life had changed. She had never thtsight of this way out of her embarrassments; she had been pre­ pared. in fact, for anything except this. Dead! It was deplorable, for Ed was young. Once the first shock had passed away, she became conscious of a deep “Death? Who—la Dead?" pity for the man. and a complete for­ giveness for the misery he had caused her. After a time she faced the news­ bearer, and In a strained voice in­ quired : “How did it happen? Was It—be­ cause of me?" ’ “No, no! Rest your mind on that score. Seel I understand your con­ cern and I share your intimate thoughts. No, It was an accident, or­ dained by God. His end whs the result of his own folly, a gunshot wound while he was drunk, I believe.

Help the Brave American Soldier Boys Who Can and Must Fight For You on the Battle Fronts of Europe. This Is Red Cross week, as official­ ly designated by President Wilson. A supreme effort will be made within the week to raise 9100,000,000 In the country to carry on the Red Cross Relief Work for the army and navy of the United States, and thus help to save this nation and mankind from being ruled by Prussian mili­ tarism and Germany’s Inhuman au­ tocracy. The American Red Cross has been commissioned by the govern­ ment of the United States as the only organisation to do relief work for our military and naval forces. Barry County Chapter of the American Red Cross has set its goal at 10,006 members, and 920,000 pledges. That Is little enough for our folks who stay at home to do for the American boys who on land and sea wHl fight our battles for human liberty, and to destroy Kalserism, which alms to subjugate the world, aad that has for 50 yean been planning for the cowardly spring ft has made at the throat of mankind Ln Its brutal effort to destroy liberty tried to make England what the Hohenzollerns are now trying to make of Gennhax^—the boss of the world, the destroyer of liberty, and the dominant and dominating and domineering power on earth, and the sole judge of the rights that should be accorded to other peoples. When our soldiers reach France they will be subjected to such mili­ tary weapons as no one but Huns and savages would use—bombs, liquid fire and poison gas—as well as high explosives and 'ong range high-power guns, shrapnel, machine guns and other modern methods of destroying human life. There will be need enough of field hospitals. Red Cross nurses and surgeons, equipped with all requisite things to save life, mend broken bodies and heal cruel wounds. Can anyone in Barry county sit at home, safe and secure, while Ameri­ can blood is being spilled on the soil of France to save the world from despotism, and not make sacrifices of his means to help our soldiers? And let us understand that if we can­ not stop Germany's assault upon human liberty in Europe, we will have to do Lt In America; and do It without the help of the English and French If Germany shall conquer them. 1 he time to thrash this dom­ ineering Hohenzollern bully is now when we have plenty of help, and 3,000 miles from our shores. Let every man. woman and child In Barry county do his or her bit to -——------- --------- ---- — do It tor the sake of the great cause of human liberty, for the sake of the country we love, and for the sake of 350 Barry county boys who will be In their country’s service before the they will be called end of this year.

Nevins has violated the law, but we very much doubt if he will be pinched for it. He has spent, or has pledged to spend |l,00(Fof Barry county's mon­ ey for a Liberty Bond. In doing this he was fully aware that he had no legal right to thus use any of the county’s funds, but under the sup­ position that the board of supervi­ sors and the people of the county would desire to take this step as a matter of patriotism, and pending a meeting of the board, he subscribed for the bond. However, he stands ready and willing. If the board at its next meeting should decide that the people of the county do not wish to carry the bond, to take it over him­ self and hold it as his personal af­ fair. So for the present, at least, all of the people of Bairy county have an internet in a Liberty bond. FAREWELL PARTY. Mrs. Fred.

I am not shackled, by conven­ tions—they are less than nothing to me. If it seems to you that my eager­ ness carries me away, remember that war to upon us and that affairs of mo­ ment press rue so that I am compelled to move tike the lightning. With me, senora,. a day to a year. The *past to gone, the present is here, the future rushes forward to meet us." “Indeed, you forget yourself," she sold, warmly. Then, changing her tone: "I too must act quickly. I must go back at once." “Oh, but I have told you only a port of whi»t I came to say." * “Surely tho rest can wait” Her voice was vibrant with contempt. “I’m' in no condition to listen to anything else." But Longorio Insisted. "Wait! it is impossible for you to leave here.” Alalre stared at him incredulously. “It to true. Mexico is a seething cal­ dron of hate; the country to convulsed. It would be unsafe for yon." "Do you mean to say that war has been declared?" “Practically." “What—? You are telling me the. truth?” A moment, then Alalre con­ tinued, more calmly, “If that 1s so, there Is all the more reason why I should lose no time." “Listen!” The general was deeply in earnest “You have no conception of the Chaps out there." Hq waved a comprehensive gesture, -if the explo­ sion has not come, it will come within a few hours. That to why I flew to your side. Battleships are hurrying to­ ward our coast, troops are massing against our border, and Mexico has risen like one man. The people are In a frenzy; they are out of bounds; there ls%ack and pillage In the cities. Ameri­ cans are objects of violence every­ where and the peons are frantic.” He paused Impressively. “We face the greatest upheaval of history." "Then why are you here?" Alalre de­ manded. "This Is no place for you at such a moment.” • Longorio came closer to her. and his voice trembled as he said: “Angel of ,my soul, my place Is at your side." Again she recoiled, but with a fervor he had never dared display he rushed on heedlessly. "I have told you I harken only to my heart ; that for one smile from you I would behead myself; that for your favor I would betray my fatherland; that for your kiss I would face damnation. Well, I am here at your side. The deluge comes, but v<»u shall-be unharmed." He would not prmlt her to Check him, crying: “Walt! You must hear me through, senora, so that you may comprehend fully why I am forced to speak at this time. Out of this coming struggle I shall emerge a heroic figure. Now that Mexico unites, she will triumph, and of all her ’ victorious sons the name of Luis Longorio will be sung the loudest, for upon him more than upon any other depends the republic's salvation. I do not boast I merely state facts, for I have made all my plans, and tomorrow I put them Into effect That to why I cannot wait to speak. Thq_struggle will be long, but you shall be my guiding star in the hours of darkness." Under other circumstances the man's magnificent egotism might have pro­ voked a smile. And yet for all Its grandiloquence, there was something in his speech that rang hard and true. Unquestionably Longorio was danger­ ous—a real personality, nnd no mere swaggering pretender. Alalre felt a certain reluctant respect for him. and at the same time a touch of chilling fear such as she had hardly experi­ enced before. She faced him silently for a moment; then she said: “Am I to understand that you forbid me to leave my own house 7* "For the time being, exactly.” “What? Then I am your prisoner!" “No, no I" He made a gesture of de­ nial "How ridiculous! I merely keep you from certain destruction. You can­ not go by train, because the railroad has suspended public service, ncr can you ride or drive. I tell you, senora, the people are aroused. For the mo­ ment you must accept my protection, whether you wish to or not. Tomor- ingly—“perhaps you will not be in such haste to refuse it or to leave La Feria. Walt until you understand me better. Then— But enough of this. You are unstrung, you wish to be alone with think that she shared fils infatuation. It was Intolerable. Yet Longorio. she was sure, had an abundance of discre­ tion; he would not dare to offer her violence. He had pride, too; and Id his way he was something of n gen­ tleman. Bo far, she had avoided giv­ ing him offense. But if once she made plain to him how utterly loathsome to her was his pursuit, she was sure that he would cease to ennoy her. Alalre was self-confident strong-willed; she took courage. Her thoughts turned from her fears to the amazing reality of her widow­ hood. Even yet she could not wholly credit the fact that Ed’s wasted life had come to an end and that she was free to make the most of her own. Alalre remembered her husband now with more tenderness, more charity, than she would have believed possible, and It seemed to her pitiful that one ao blessed with opportunity should have worked such havoc with himself and with those near to him. Doubtless it was all h part of some providential scheme, too blind for her to solve. Perhaps, Indeed, his own trials had been designed to the end that her greater, truer love, when It did come, would find her ripe, respon­ sive, ready. As for this Mexican gen­ eral, she would put him in his place. Alalre was still walking the floor of her chamber when Dolores entered, at dusk, to say that supper was ready and that General Longorio was wait­ ing. “Ask him to excuse me,” she told her servant. But Longorio himself spoke from the next room, saying: “Senora, I beg of you to honor me. I have much of Im­ portance to say, and time presses. Con­ trol your grief and give me the pleas­ ure of your company." After an instant’s consideration. Alalre yielded. It was best to have the matter over with, once for all. CHAPTER XXI. The Doors of Paradise. Alalre begun the mockery of playing hostess with extreme distaste, and as the meal progressed she experienced a growing uneasiness. Longorlo's bear­ ing had changed since his arrival. He was still extravagantly courteous, beautifully attentive | be maintained a flow of conversation that relieved her of any effort, and yet he displayed a repressed excitement that was disturb­ ing. In his eyes there was a gloating look of possession hard to endure. De­ spite her Icy formality, he appeared to be. holding himself within the bounds of propriety only by an effort of the will, and she was not surprised when, at the conclusion of the meal, he cast restraint aside. She did not let him go far with his wooing before warning him: "I won’t listen to you. You are a man of taste; you must realize how offensive this is.” “Let us not deceive each other," he Insisted. ’ "We are alone. Let us be honest Do not ask me to put faith In your grief. I find my excuse In the extraordinary nature of this situation." “Nothing can excuse Indelicacy," she answered, evenly. “You transgress the commonest rules of decency.” But he was Impatient “What sen­ timent! You did not love your hus­ band. You were for years his pris­ oner. Through the bars of your prison I saw and loved you. Dios 1 The first sight of your face altered the current of my life. I saw heaven in your eyes, and I have dreamed of nothing else ever since. Well, Providence opened the doors and set you free; God gave heed to my prayers and delivered you to me. Now you pretend to grieve at your deliverance; you ask me to re­ spect the memory of your jailer! De­ cency? Delicacy? What are they ex­ cept artificialities, which vanish in times of stress? Alexander the Great Caesar, Napoleon, Porflrio Diaz—they were strong, purposeful men; they lived as I live. Senora, you dally with love." Alalre’s face was white with anger as she replied: “You cause me to for­ get that you are my guest Are you the man I considered you or the man you are reported to be?" “Ehr “Are you the gentleman, the friend, you pretended to be, or—the vandal whom no woman can trust? You treat me as if you were my jailer. What do you mean? What kind of man are you to take advantage of my bereave­ ment?" After a moment's consideration, Lon­ gorio began haltingly: “I don’t know what kind of a man I am, for you have changed me so. There was a time— I—I have done things— I have scorned all restraint, all laws except those of my desires, and so, perhaps, I am a vandal. Make sure of this, however— I shall not Injure you. Mexico to no more sacred to me than you, my heart’s treasure. You accuse me of indelicacy because I lack the strength to smother my admiration. I adore you; my be­ ing dissolves, my veins are afire with longing for you; I am mad with the knowledge that you are mine. Mad? Carambal I am Insane; my mind tot­ ters; I grope my way like a man blinded by a dazzling light; I suffer agonies. Bui seel I refuse to touch you.

Washington, June 26. — President Wilson, by executive order on Monday created the new export council, better known as the embargo board. It will have complete authority to declare embargoes on exports from this coun­ try and is expected to prove a most powerful weapon in dealing with the neutral nations that are known to have been engaged in supplying Germany with foodstuffs and materials for the manufacture of munitions. ypdec ths; president's order, the new council Is made up of a representative of the commerce, agricultural and state departments and of the food adminis­ tration. The placing of an embargo by this newly created organization will make it Impossible for neutrals to ex­ port great quantities of foodstuffs and other supplies from this. country. J’hrough tills powerful weapon the United States will be able to follow the exports form this country all the’way to the ultimate consumer.

Join Army July 15. Washington, June 25.—The adminis­ tration's food control bill was passed in the house on Saturday. It gives the president power to control the distribution of food, feed and fuel for war purposes and appropriates 8152,500,000 for its enforcement and administration. The measure was passed after sweep­ ing prohibition for the war had been written into II* Only Five Vote Against Bill. The vote was 365 to 5. Representa­ tives McLemore, Slayden and Young of Texaa, Democrats, and Meeker, Mis­ souri, and Ward, New York, Republi­ cans, voted In the negative. Those voting present were Hulbert. New York; Sabath, Illinois; Kitchin, North Carolina; Gallagher, Illinois, and Esch, Wisconsin. The bill gives the president power: 1. To regulate transportation, stor­ age, distribution and sale of food­ stuffs. ■ ' 3. To prohibit further distribution of alcoholic beverages made from grain and to seize present stored supplies. 4. To prevent Mlllful destruction of food products or hoarding. 5. To prevent withholding of fuel from the market or hoarding. fl. To prevent control for monopoly of shoes, clothing and other necessities of life. 7. To establish a license system to regulate manufacture and exportation. 8. To commandeer-storage and food supply plaiits. and fuel mines. If necessary. 9. To appoint any agency or person to make effective the provisions of the bilk To Seek Senate Action. The bill will be. taken up In the sen­ ate early this week and .administration leaders will make every effort to force It to an early vote, as it is desired tliat the law shall become operative July 1. The prohibition amendment, adopted us a substltte for the provision in the original bill, which authorized the president to forbid the manufacture of alcoholic beverages follows: “No person shall use any food ma­ terials or foods in the production of alcohoi, except for governmental, In­ dustrial, scientific, medicinal or sacra­ mental purposes, __ or of alcoholic bev­ erages. Any person who willfully vio­ lates this section shall upon convic­ tion thereof be punished by a fine not exceeding $5,000 or by imprisonment for not more than two years, or both.” Passage by Senate Certain. The strong temperance alignment In the senate makes it almost certain the action of the house will be ratified J)y the upper body and that the bill will go to the president with this provision for absolute prohibition in iL . The temperance forces in the house were united during the long struggle. Barkley of Kentucky Introduced the prohibition amendment and Webb of North Carolina introduced the one to confiscate whisky and other spirits now In bond. Political lines were cast aside, Re­ publicans and Democrats being about equally divided in support of and in opposition to the drastic amendments. Efforts to save the beer and.wine In­ terests met with decisive defeat. It was argued on behalf of continuance of wine and beer making that unless these were permitted the nation would turn to whisky as that would be the only drink in existence. The adoption of the provision for confiscation nullified tills argument, as the president, with the powers given him, may decide the whisky now held in bonded warehouses would serve a more useful purpose by belug convert­ ed Into alcohol for munition manufac­ ture than to be sold for human con­ sumption. To compensate for the intoxicants seized Lenroot of Wisconsin unsuccess­ fully tried to increase the appropria­ tion. • Cures Gambling, Hoarding. The bill was drawn “to stimulate production, reduce waste, facilitate and clear the chanels of distributors, pre­ vent hoarding, assure fair prices, elimi­ nate Injurious speculation and prohibit evil practices on exchanges."

Army July 15. The entire Nadbnal Guard of the country will have become a constituent part of the regular army within the next 45 days. The first draft order will be Issued July 15, the second July 25, and the third August 5. The regular army Is to be sent to Europe first The last of the units of this class \Vhlcb can be utilized will bid farewell to American shores at a date near at hand. Draft to Begin July 1. Immediately after July 1 the opera­ tion of the draft will begin. The drawings will take place, and they will be safeguarded in such fashion that there cannot arise the slightest ques­ tion of crookedn .*ss or favoritism. The exemption boards will be made ' up of representatives of Industry, agri­ culture and labor, as well as the medi­ cal profession. There will be a labor representative on every board. During July and August the draw­ ings will take place, the exemptions will be authorized and by September 1 the met selected will have been noti­ fied to rejwirt for service. Washington to Direct Draft Washington. June 25.—It has been established that Washington will be the center for the task of d: afting the 625,000 men for the national army. Just what device for drawing the names of those who are destined to fight tins not been announced. It will all be disclosed In the president’s proc­ lamation setting the time for the draft It is believed, however, that the time will be set soon after July L How Quota ts Decided. The machinery by which the quota of each state for the draft will be com­ puted Is outlined In an official war de­ partment statement, which says: “The National Guard authorities tn each state are asked to rejwrt, as soon after the close of recruiting on June 30 as possible, the total number of n^n recruited during June. With this, the figures will be complete for recruiting from April 1 to June 30, both Inclusive, and these will be added to the men In the National Guard in each state on April 1. “Men enlisted in the regular army between April 1 and June 30 will be added, and the sum of those Items for each state number In National Guard April 1, number enlisted In both regu­ lar army and National Guard during April, May and June, will make the total to be counted in as part of each state's quota, as apportioned under the selective service act and the regula­ tions to be promulgated.” States like Illinois, Indiana, Michgan and the other five western states which have more than filled their quo­ ta for the regular army will be given credit for this surplus and similarly given credit for the extent to which thetr National Guard is recruited. States which fail to make up their quotas for the regular army and whose National Guard regiments are below strength will have their deficits made up by the draft.

The running team of the Nash­ ville Fire Department went to Hast­ ings on the Fourth to compete in the tournament, not really expecting to win the big prize, because it was their first race and they had had very little prac ice, but determined to make whoever did win it run a race. Cadillac and Reed City were their competitors, both old teams with fast records. The race was 200 yards to the hydrant, lay 200 feet of hose, break coupling at 150 feet and put*on pipe. Cadillac run first, mak­ ing the exceptionally fast time of 39 1-5 seconds. Nashville was next to run and made a very pretty run, but lost time in coupling, thereby losing first money. Their time was 42 1-2. Reed City run last and won second money in 89 8-5. Nashville's time to the hydrant was better than either of the other teams, and their coupling struck the ground a half second sooner than either of the others, but through lack ot practice and a mistake in not starting soon enough to pull the hose from the reel, the race was-lost to them. A subscription paper was circulated Wednesday and enough money rais­ ed to purchase a running cart and tournament pipe. FOOD FOR CONGRESSIONAL , THOUGHT. The brilliant success of the liberty loan should cause congress to pon­ der well the temper of the Ameri­ can people as to ways and means for prosecuting the war. It is significant that while thous­ ands of men in the humbler walks of life were making sacrifices to sub­ scribe to the loan, these same men and other thousands were at the same time protesting to the utmost against ths action ot congress in the matter of war taxation. No graver mistake could be made than to saddle upon tbo people just at this time an onerous schedule of taxation. The country is now in the full swing of a campaign of Industry and production that is going to re­ quire the use of every dollar that every industry' can muster. But while this is true, there are billions not actively employed that can be procured by the sale of bonds. The bond issue is the fair and equitable plan of financing the-war. It affords the subscriber the oppor­ tunity' to do his bit without feeling that his business is being cramped and hindered by an oppressive bur­ den of taxes just at the time when he most needs all of the resources at his command. • / The people of this generation must pay heavily enough, In cash and blood. Those of the coming genera­ tion should assume their share. •, Bond Issues will insure a fair and equal distribution of the expenses of the war. There is no safer or saner method.

The state of Dorothea’s feelinks may be more readily understood perhaps if the render be informed of the things that had been uppermost la her mindall day. She had been living over again her triumph of the night before, when as star performer at the dedication of the new library, she had won laurels far beyond her greatest dream of suc­ cess. Of course everyone knew she could play; and she played the organ Sundays, and figured conspicuously on the programs In all the local concerts. But no one Id Parsonsburg bad ever heard her sing before. Not even Mrs. Pressing. who lived In the other half of the house, except perhaps, a little bumming when she was hurrying through with her dishes to go to the movies with Charley. . Dorothea, therefore, was as sur­ prised ns anybody when on the day before the library concert she had dis­ covered something. She had ft und the soprano's part of the offertory for Sunday lying on top of her piano after the choir had gone botne froth practice. She glanced over the notes, first humming the tune, then crooning it. and finally opening her mouth and letting out the full round notes. Ecstacy took hold of her. She had never known what a joy It was to sing. She would surprise Parsonburg and sing at the library Instead of playing the serenade from Chaminade that she had intended. And so Dorothea had stood upon the platform in the auditorium of the new library and bad sung, and not the least of her triumph was the' look of per­ plexed surprise on Charley Totten’s Dorothea was silent on the way borne. Life, which before that day was carrying her straight Into matri­ mony. with Charley’s heart and home as a port, had suddenly turned tn Its course and was heading for the har­ bor of career. Already grand opera was looming large, nnd she had visions of herself as Brunnhllde and Caruso as Siegfried wooing her with the soft notes of his wonderful tenor. And so, when the check for the thou­ sand dropped out of the clouds to light­ en the way, there was no doubt in Dorothea's mind that it was nil heaven­ sent She 'phoned to Charley. “Tm leaving In the morning for New York," she said. "I wish you'd come around tonight Tve something to tell you." . ’ But when Charley saw his dreams of happiness fading and the girl he adored slipping away forever he voiced a pro­ test . “There isn’t much in that game, girlie. You’ve got a mighty fine voice, but it takes years of hard work, and then some, to get anywhere, and not Mways then. Besides, Dolly, 1 was just going to tell you. I’ve bad some good news myself, and I was going to ask you if you could get ready to be married next month. Uncle Ned’s writ­ ten for me come qo and he's going to give me a dandy position In his bank. You can still live In New York ami you won’t have to work so hard as you will at your music. 1 can't give you up, Dolly." But the magical door had shown Dorothea visions she could not forget. Tm sorry, Charley, but I feel that I cannot waste my life being merely domestic. I think it's my duty to go ahead and make the most of my talent Besides, it looks like fate when a thou­ sand dollars drops from the skies like this. No, it's all over, Charley. I hope you’ll be very happy. Good-by, now. I must puck." A year sped along. Food, lodging and lessons at ten dollars apiece bad played ducks and drakes with Doro­ thea's fortune. There were five years of hard work ahead, years in which more money would be needed, and years, too, at the end of which noth­ ing was certain. She had discovered a thing or two also—that New York had thousands of musical students with ns good or better voices than she had. The money went There was noth­ ing left but to go back to teaching music In Parsonburg or to find work in New York.

Going very far?" “I want to go to Mr. Fallows’ home; Mr. Jerrold Fallows." The mule took its own time, nnd It was nearly 8:30 before Jake pulled up before a mountain shack, just as the morning sun broke In glory over the crest ot Piney Knob. At the two win­ dows hung whit? scrim curtains, with a glimpse of flowering geraniums along the sill. And from the back came a full, girlish contralto volco singing joyously. “That’s Elvy," said Jake. “Got nice singing pipes, ain’t she?” Then In the cool mountain morning air Jerry Fallows’ mother and the girl he loved, Elvy of Piney Knob, met for the first time. She was just a girt, not more than eighteen, but with the mountain spirit about her. “Won’t you step Inside and sit by the fire, where IPs warm?” Elvy’s soft, rich, southern voice was beautiful. Unconsciously Mrs. Fal­ lows breathed a sigh of relief. Jerry surely had a good excuse for falling so ridiculously In love, at any rate. _ "Jerry’ll be awfqjy glad to see you' when he comes home.” Elvy knelt to put on some fresh, dry wood under (he big back log. “He’s just gone up S the wood lot Otter » 1»V "I am glad be Is not here." Mrs. Fallows sat upright It was not a pleasant task that bad brought her to the mountains. “I think you are the one to decide for him." <t “I?” queried Elvy, sitting down on the round braided rug In surprise. “Why?" “You know, of course, Jerry would never have remained here.

Later, he was put in charge of the cutting out of timber at his own request The next we beard was that be was married.” “And you never even sent one little word back to him." said Elvy, softly, dreamily almost, gazing Into the crack­ ling fire. “I don’t see how you could have done that to him." “Don’t you?” the older woman’s face hardened. “After you had raised a son, your only one, built all your hopes and ambitions ga his future, nnd then nt twcnty-twodBpparried a—a—’’ “Just a mijfet&ta girt like me?" “Yes.

It had been hard, but not as though Jerry himself bad ben there to argue with. The giri was proud. She would surely let him go. And then behind her she heard Elvy’s footfall, and turned her bead. Proud and silent she stood there, a world of love In her eyes, and Id her arms Jerry’s first-born. “He’s only a month old." she said, gently. “But he’s the reason why I couldn’t ask Jerry to go away and It was a little past ten when Jerry drove down the road with his load of wood.

The round of receptions, dinners and all kinds ot 1 gayety which caught the young eouple in its whirl seemed to the girt a dream of fairyland. They visited the great European capitals, and in Parts a daughter was born -to them. Marian was Ill for some months, and when she recovered sufficiently to care for the child, she gave it most of her time. Very soon she found that her husband, to whom adulation and demonstrative appreciation were the breath of his life, was seeking elsewhere .the satis­ faction of his temperamental demands. Foolish women flattered him, and his wife became a third-rate consideration. Her life with him grew to be intoler­ able, but they were now living to his own home to Italy, and she knew if she left him they would take the child from her. At eight years of age the little girl died, and Marian then determined at all haxards to leave her husband. Marian had some valuable jewels, and with a little money she had saved, she left Italy, and sailed for America. Her aunt had never answered her let­ ters, and she feared to face her. But she nerved herself up to make the at­ tempt. She discovered her aunt had gone, and she was unable to trace her. It was nearly two years since she bad returned, and Marian began to awake to the fact that her small store of money was nearly exhausted. Sha^ tried to think what she could do to earn her living. Finally she advertised for a position as a companion. Think­ ing her foreign name might be a draw­ back, she cnlled- herself Mrs. Tor­ rence. The letters she received were most discouraging, but at last there was one which seemed promising, £he called nt the appointed time on the lady, Sirs. Cromer, whom she found to a boarding bouse in a good part of the city. Mrs. Cromer, good natured nnd middle-aged, impressed her favor­ ably. “You see, it’s like this,” said the lardy. “I’m going to live in a country town. I shall be all alone, and shall not know anyone in the place. I don’t know of anybody to take with me. It’s going to be lonesome and small pay, but you said it was mostly a home you wanted—” “Yes,” broke in Marian, “that’s IL I think I should like to gc.** “Pollock’s Folly” had suddenly taken on a new lease of life. A force of work­ men were going In and out, and the transformation was the talk of the town. The owner must be intending to bring a bride; but when the middle­ aged Mrs. Cromer, and her companion moved to, Rackley was again disap­ pointed. “You see,” said Mrs. Croner to Ma­ rian, “I have just the dearest cousin in the world. • When my fortune went to smash, and be found me in a board­ ing house, he said: ‘Now there’s that empty house of mine going to rack and ruin, and you without a home—it's selfish. If you'll livi there. I’ll fix it up.’ Well, I jumped at IL” And she told the girl how the woman he had loved had left him, and. the house he had meant for her had been for years too sacred a place to be ever entered by anyone. She did not mention his name, but the story set Marian won­ dering. “Isn’t such a love a wonderful thing?” mused the lady. “And to think that girl wasn’t worthy of IL" “No, she wasn’L” answered Marian, “but she was young and foolish." “Why, there he is now!” cried Mrs. Cromer, and the next moment Marian was face to face with Pollock. Both covered the shock of meeting us quiet­ ly as possible with commonplace greet­ ings, but Mrs. Cromer Raw that some­ thing unusual bad happened, and soon made an excuse to leave them alone. “I haven’t any right,” she said, “to even think you care to know, but—" And she told Mm the whole miserable "Oh, I came to know—to realise how foolish—how mad I had been,” Mm added brokenly, “but It was too late."

In giving out the proclamation, the president made the following state­ ment : . “In controlling by license the export of certain Indispensable commodities from the United States, the govern­ ment has first and chiefly in view the amelioration of the food conditions which have arisen or aVe likely to arise in our own country before new crops are harvested. Guard Fundamental Supplies. “Not only Is the conservation of our prime food and fodder supplies a mat­ ter which vitally concerns our own peo­ ple, but the retention of au adequate supply of raw materials is essential to our program of military and naval con­ struction and the continuance of our necessary domestic activities. We shall, therefore, similarly safeguard all our fundamental supplies. “It Is obviously the duty of the Unite*} States In liberating any surplus products over and above our own do-; mestlc needs, to consider first the ne^ cessities of all the nations engaged in . war against the central empires. Check Up on Neutrals. “As to neutral nations, however, we also recognize our duty. The* govern­ ment does not wish to hamper (hem. On the contrary, It wishes and Intends, by all fair and equitable means, to co­ operate with them In their difficult task of adding from our available sur­ pluses to their own domestic ratpir. and of meeting their pressing necessi­ ties 6r deficits. ^In considering the deficits ot food supplies the government means only to fulfill its obvious obligation to* sure Itself that neutrals are husband­ ing their own resources and that our supplies will not become available,’ either directly or indirectly, to feed the enemy.” Text of Proclamation. The proclamation follows: “By the President of the United States of America—A proclamation: "Whereas, Congress has enacted and the president has on the 15th day of June, 1017, approved a law which con­ tains the following provisions: “Whenever during the present war the president shall find that the pub­ lic safety shall so require and shall make proclamation thereof, it shall be unlawful to export from or ship from or take out of the United States to any country nomed in such proclama­ tion any article or articles mentioned In such proclamation except at such time or times and under such regula-tlons and orders and subject to such limitations and exceptions ns the pres­ ident shall prescribe until otherwise ordered by the president or by con­ gress ; provided, however, that no pref­ erence shall be given to the ports of • • one state over those of another.

Shefound the box in which she had kept the diamonds stowed awey in a basket of laundry, but the dia­ monds were missing from the box, although other jewelry of less value remained. Saturday morning she appeared before Justice Kidder and swore out a warrant for Mrs. Hat­ tie Ward of Hastings, charging her with the theft of the missing jewels.

A DELIGHTFUL EVENING. The newly organized Community Association of Charlotte tendered a complimentary dinner to the news'paper fraternity of Eaton county, at the Phoenix house, Friday evening, and incidentally reached over into Barry county with an invitation for the editor of The News, which was gladly accepted. The dinner was a splendid success, the menu excellent, the service perfect, and the after din­ ner hour made merry with song, jest and talks. Incidentally Mr. John P. Wagner, secretary-manager of the association, made a splendid talk to the newspaper men. along the lines of community loyalty and the influ­ ence of the press on the upbuilding and uplift of community interests, which was well received by the pen­ cil-pushers. Charlotte's new Com­ munity association, with "such a live wire as Mr. Wagner as helmsman, is bound to accomplish great things for Charlotte and Eaton county and is a long step In the forward march of the service idea for the community in general.

Smith of Char­ lotte Says Some Things to Fed­ eral Trade Commission. We want to commend the courage of Congressman J. M. C. Smith of Charlotte in forcibly expressing his indignation at the handling of the coal situation. In a letter to " the federal trade, commission ’he uses plain English, as follows: "How long must the public, en­ dure these abominable conditions?” he asks. "They have gone through one winter of fleecing, shivering, coal panic and famine. If we .go through another such winter it is the fault of the government. No one doubts that the supply Is ample and inexhaustible but manipulators of production and transportation leave the public stranded. The re­ port of the federal trade commission on coal conditions states that the harlj coal situation is normal. If anyone believes that let him try to buy a ton. He will do well if he can get it at robber prices. It is astounding to find in another part of the report that 'in some fields bituminous mines are working only three or four days a week and that willing labor is standing idle.’ They say the high price is due- partly to the car shortage. Almost any kind of a car from a Pullman to a cattle or fiat car would do Just now. It is time we had some action and few­ er investigations and reports." Go to it. Congressman. Inside of the next few years there will be more senators and congressmen down there who will be rlght> with you in helping to protect the people from the high-handed robbers who are doing their best to gather all the wealth of the country into their own hands. There is enough for all; make them give all of the peopie a show. ROLL OF HONOR.

People Many un earnest Nashville man or woman bas publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. > Week after week, month after month you've read their statements. Would these Nashville people rec­ ommend any medicine if it were not good? Would they confirm and repeat their statements after years had passed ? Local proof is good evidence. * Testimony confirmed years after is better evidence. The following Nashville man's statement leaves no room for doubt. It must convince every kidney suf­ ferer who reads it. If your back aches—If your kid­ ney’s are weak, profit by the ex­ perience of G. J. Smith, machinist, Gregg St: He says: "My kidneys troubled me for some little time. I had a lame back and suffered from pains across my kidneys. When­ ever I had an attack of the trouble I bought Doan's Kidney Pills at Von W. Furniss' drug store and they never failed to help me.” More Than Three Years Later, Mr. Smith said: "Doan's Kidney Pills gave me relief from kidney trouble and I am glad to again rec­ ommend them." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr: Smith has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N, Y.—Advt.

McDERBY’S Dry Goods Berlin, July 30.—Russian troops re­ treating on the eastern Galician front have retired behind the Russian bor­ der at Husiatyn, the German general staff announced ofllcially on Sunday. Husiatyn Is 70 miles due east of Halicz, Gallda, recently retaken by the Austro-Gerinan forces. Farther south the Russians made a stand between the Dniester and Pruth rivers, but a powerful German attack broke their resistance, and the Russians now are being pursued along both banks of the Dniester. Kuty, in the Galician Carpathians, has ben captured by the Teutons. In Roumania the Germans completed the retrograde movement‘which they began Friday on th? upper Putna river. BRITISH WARSHIP TORPEDOED Thirty-Eight of Crew of Cruiser Ari­ adne Killed by Ex0loaion-=-AII Other Sailors Rescued. London, July 81.—The British cruiser Ariadne or 11,000 tons has been torpedoed and sunk, according to an official statement issued by the BrttlIsh admiralty. Thirty-eight members of the Ariadne’s crew were killed by the explosion. All the other sailors were saved. The Ariadne was nn old British cruiser, having been built in The crack aviator uf the Tenth his comrades. could not stifle the groan that escaped his Ups. He was seated on the ground, hh* back against n tree, to which he bud painfully crawled after his fail. In half delirium he muttered to himself numerous broken sentences. “Commanding officer's orders were 'Go out over enemy's position, ascer­ tain strength, and report Immediately upon your return.’ Tried to do it, and would have done it, hadn't been for that devilish shell..' Machine damaged and old Fred badly wounded. “Can't forget his words and action when he saw we were hard hit. ‘Goodby, George, old man, good-by,’ he yel’ed. 'I'm badly wounded.

Just downright hurt! luck, after everything bad gone so well. Splendid flight we made to headquarters^ with the information they wanted, when that whistling devil caught us. With Fred's weight gone, the machine partly righted itself and would have made a safe landing, but for this beastly tree. • “Steering gear broken, no chaqce to guide.

Can hear the purr df his engine." With a start "The Bird" realized that it was an automobile from his corps. He attempted to raise an arm and uttered q faint shout Figures alighted and came rapidly toward him. In a low. audible tone he said: “I wish to report position very strong. Heavily re-enforced and more coming up rapidly.” Then he lapsed Into un­ consciousness. Days had passed. One cool bright morning “The Bird" opened his eyes, now free from delirium. A gentle sigh passed his lips and a figure bent over him. Two questioning brown eyes gazed Into his. In a weak voice he whispered: “Report enemy's position strong, heavily re-enforced- This is very Important" . Good nurse Winthrop grasped the situation at once and. knowing It best to humor the patient, hurried away. Returning to the bedside of the wound­ ed man she said quietly, “Your or­ ders haveTieen obeyed. Headquarters have been informed." “I know you," he gasped. "Katy, dear old Fred's sister. H1b last words were of you. I say good-by for him. Am tired now and sleepy." With this he lapsed into peaceful slumber. The late afternoon sun. streaming through the big htapltal windows, found nurse Winthrop again standing beside her new patient The head nurse gently chh>d Miss Winthrop for the decided interest In patient No. 254. The girl’s eyes filled with tears and she answered humbly, “Please don’t scold, for he was with my brother Fred. The two were toegther when the machine was hif." “Forgive me. dear. I did not know," replied the older woman. "Stay here until he awakens. I will attend to your other duties." “The Bird's" eyes opened. The injured man gazed in wonder­ ment nt the face before him. "I know you—I have seen you before," he re­ peated, "you are Fred’s sister Katy." Two small white fingers were placed on bls lips and n sweet votes admon­ ished, "You must not talk now." With the uninjured hand he re­ moved the fingers from his lips. Ex­ erting his whole strength he held them firmly while he insisted. "I won't be quiet, must talk. Want you to under­ stand .

TO CU ALL FOOD Declares We Have Not Only Increased Foreign Minister Cxemln Says Dual Monarchy Will Accept "Honor­ Crops of Staples, But Also Large able" Terms or Fight to Production of Fruita and the Bitter Ehd. Vegetables. Washington. July 80.—President Wilson, In a letter to Secretary of Agriculture D. F. Houston, appeals to the women of the nation to take Imme­ diate steps to avoid a* threatened loss of a vast amount of perishable fruits and vegetables. The president says: “Every bushel of potatoes properly stored, every pound of vegetables put by for future use, every Jar of fruit preserved, add that much to our in­ surance of victory,—add that much to l>a«U‘n the end of the conflict. “We must alm to consume these tilings locally far as possible and thus relieve the pressure in transpor­ tation agencies; freeing them for the more efficient handling of products re­ quired for military purposes. What we cannot presently consume we must conserve." . — Other parts of the letter, which Is addressed to Secretary Houston and a special committee working under his direction follows: . “I very earnestly desire to commend your plans and to second your efforts to secure conservation of perishable food products. The patriotic farmers of the nation gave immediate and ef­ fective response to my appeal to In­ crease production. Providence favored them and we have not only the pros­ pect of Increased crops of a number of staples, but also the certainty of a large production of fruits and vege­ tables. “But It is of the fijst importance that we take care-tif’what has been raised nnd ninkadt available for consumption. The task Is of peculiar urgency with reference to our perishable farm prod­ ucts. It is essential not only that adequate measures be taken to secure their conservation hut also that the de­ partment of- agriculture redouble its efforts to assist producers In the mat­ ter of marketing. Must Avoid Waste. “I am Informed that In many sec­ tions the people already are canning and drying fruits and vegetables in large quantities. But In this hour of peril, I am concerned, ns I know you are. with the necessity of avoiding; “To win we. must have maximum ef­ ficiency in ail directions. We cannot win without complete and effective concentration of all our efforts, “We cun all aid by increasing our consumption of perishable products, and by so doing relieve the strain on our store of staples. “The service we are asking the peo­ ple to render Id this matter is a public service. Ujmhi the housewife much of the burden of the task will fall. I join you in your appeal to the womtn of the nation, whether living in a city, town or country, to devote their time, so far ns it may be feasible, to this very essential work. “I am sure we may confidently rely upon the cooperation of the editors of the nation In dlsseruinat'ng necessary information.” Plenty of Food for U. Herbert C. Hoover, America's food controller, In a statement Issued on Saturday, calculated to dispel war gk»um. declared the people of the United States through food economy and stimulation of production have "ac­ complished the most astonishing thing that ever happened In the history of any people." Asserting the American people have accomplished more In four months than Germany did in a year. Hoover said present prospects indicate an In­ creased cereal production in this coun­ try of 850.000,000 bushels; the nation has the largest supply of vegetables in its history; American ennners will produce nearly 2.000,000.000 cans of fruits and vegetables, and American women will preserve this year 200,­ 000,000 Jars and cans of fruit and vege­ tables. Basing his statement on the demon­ strations thus far given by the Ameri­ can people, Hoover declared be had no fear that their capacity for self-denial “will not prove a wall against which the Germans mny battle for the next five years if it be necessary." CHICAGO RAIL STRIKE ENDS Switchmen Return to Work After Patriotic Appeal by Govern­ ment Agents. London. July 31.—According to a Reuter dispatch from Zurich, Mathias Erxberger. one of the leaders of the Clerical center In the German reichatag, who has Just arrived there, de­ clared to the Zuericher Nachrichten: “If I could talk with Lloyd George t (the British premier) or Mr. Balfour . (British foreign secretary) we could In a few hours reach an understanding which would enable official peace ne­ gotiations, to commence." Herr Erxberger, who has taken a prominent part with respect to peace during the last months, asserts that Doctor Allchaelis, the Imperial German chancellor, Is a peace chancellor. ' Michaelis for Peace. Berlin, July 31.—Dr. Georg Mi­ chaelis, the German Imperial chancel­ lor, on Saturday summoned a large number of newspaper men, to whom he declared: “The speech of David Lloyd-George, the British premier. Queen's hall, Lon­ don, and the recent debate In the Brit­ ish house of commons again have proved with indisputable clearness that Great Britain does- not desire peace by agreement and understand­ ing. but only a conclusion of the .war, which means the. enslavement of Ger­ many to the arbitrary violence of our enemies. “Proof of this may be seen in the fact that Sir Edward Carson (member <»f the British wiir cabinet) recently declared in Dublin that negotiations with Germany could begin only after tbe retirement of German troops be­ yond the Rhine. “We possess clear proofs that the enemy gives assent to a declaration going even further than that Impu­ dently made by Sir Edward Carson. You all know that detailed informa­ tion regarding the French plans of conquest, approved by Great Britain and Russia, has been circulated for weeks past in the qgutral press and that it lias not been denied up to the present. “It would be of the greatest impor­ tance for the enlightenment of, the whole world regarding the true reasons for the continuation of the sanguinary massacre of nations for It to be known riat written proofs of our enemies’ greed for conquest have since fallen Into our hands. I refer to reports of the secret debate on June 2 in the French chamber of deputies. “Tbe enemy press endeavors to force upon my inaugural speech the Interpretation that I only consented to the majority resolution with an ill con­ cealed reservation of Germany's de­ sires for conquest. I am obliged to de- ' ny the imputation a* to an object of which there can be no doubt. Besides, the resolution implies—which is quite clear—that the enemy must also re­ nounce any ideas of cdnquesL" Doctor Michaelis added that it was manifest that Germany's enemies were not Jn the least considering such re­ nunciation and that the French meet­ ing held In secret was fresh proof that her enemies were responsible for the prolongation of the war and were “ac­ tuated by lust of conquest." “The conspicuousness of the Justice of our defensive war," the chancellor concluded, “will steel our strength and determination in tbe future.” Austria In Favor of Peace. Vienna, July 3L—Reiterating that Austria-Hungary was ready to accept an honorable peace, but that the dual monarchy, in conjunction with its al­ lies, would fight to the last extremity If the entente powers declined to en­ ter negotiations on the' basis of a peace by understanding, as recently outlined by the German imperial chan­ cellor and the reichstag. Count Ottokar Czernin von Chudenltz, the Aus­ tro-Hungarian foreign minister, in an interview discussed at length peace possibilities. The Austrian statesman took oc­ casion to reply to the speech made by David Lloyd-George in London July 21. when the British premier charac­ terized the address delivered In the reichstag by Doctor Michaelis, the German chancellor, as a sham. The count said Mr. Lloyd-George was mis­ taken when he represented the reichs­ tag peace resolution to be “a piece of bluff.” “The chancellor and the reichstag." the foreign minister said, “declared that Germany was conducting a de­ fensive war and that the German peo­ ple only asked for , an bororable peace by means of an understanding, and an agreement offering the basis for a lasting reconciliation of the nations. The chancellor and the reichstag sol­ emnly declared that the German peo­ ple desired no forced conquest and abhorred economic isolation and in­ citement to enmity between nations after tbe war.

The modus operand!, whatever that is, when this welcome thing happens, is for the subscriber be handed a perfectly good re­ ceipt for whatever- money he pays. Then a slug slip is hung on the mail­ er hook and the machine operator proceeds to set up on the Linotype a new, clean, bright slug for that subscriber, on which appear* hi* name and the month and year to which he is paid. Thl* slug I* then put into the mailing galley in place of the old slug, which bear* a more ancient date, and the old slug is thereupon cast into the hell-box to be conveyed to the melting pot. We wonder if you can imagine the Joy with which we play this game, and especially at times when eeverai ot our big family happen to drop in the same week, so that we have to make a whole lot of new slugs. Then the mailer galleys are liberally spotted with silver-like slug*, which makes them present a most attractive ap­ pearance. Also, you may have noticed, if you have recently paid your subscription, these new slug* print up clean and clear and bright on the corner or. wrapper of your paper and the post man can deliver it without squinting his eyes to make out the name. You see, after a slug has been used on the mailer for sev­ eral years without changing, it be­ comes somewhat worn and dulled, so that It does not print up as clearly as it should, and when.the post man has to scrutinize it closely to make out the name, he is pretty sure to realize that the slug is an old one and should be properly replaced with a new one, whch would have a 17 or 18 after the name and the month, which would clearly indicate that you were keeping up with the proces­ sion and doing your part to help us play this most entertaining game. By the way, while Leslie was up north last week catching trout, I had to run the mailer myself, and I could not help but notice that while there are many bright new slugs on the galleys, there are a'number of others which are somewhat worn and should be replaced, vyhile you think of it, just turn the paper over and see how your slug prints up and what the year after the month shows. We hope you find it printing clear­ ly and with a 17 or 18 after it, but if you don’t you are cordially invited to drop In and help us play "Change the Slugs."

I Philadelphia can boast of no age-old [ trees such as the redwoods which are found In the West, but in the outlying districts of the city are many splendid ■ old trees which have stood for cenI turies. At Three Tuns is nn CLcnnous i chestnut tree, centuries old. It has 1 been marked with a brass plate stat­ ing that tbe tree was doubtless there when Columbus discovered America. Meaning of Word “Hohenzollem.” The word “Hobenzollern” has no dis­ tinctive meaning in itself, except aa circumstances by common consent have invested It with such meaning. Origlnally it was the name of a German | princely family of the middle ages, which for a long time furnished the kings of Prussia who, when the empire was formed, became emperors of Ger­ many. The rulers of this line have been so autocratic and Imperialistic as to make the word “Hobenzollern" sy­ nonymous with extreme autocracy and imperialism. MRS.

In the Woman’s Home Companion a writer says: "Fathers must realize, as well as mothers, that the first five years of the child's life are the most important in the child’s development It is then that he »s most formative. he needs most serious and careful thought from both parents. And If the child is properly handled through this period, half the battles of the fu­ ture man in the child are won." . Absence Explained.

It ain’t hutting time yet nohow.” Miss Dunmore came downstairs in a dress of Lucile’s, or, rather a biouse and skirt of the sailor suit order. She seemed very little ruffled l»y her ad­ venture on the high seas. "Where Is Mine Green?” she asked, looking around. "I want to thank her for. her kindness.” , “She Is out searching for her moth­ er.” That sounded like a foolish state­ ment, so I qualified it “Her mother disappeared last night during the storm.” “Ohr Miss Dunmore did not seem particularly Impressed. "I don't see how any one could get lost on a little where the mystery comes in. There are only about half a dozen places she could be, and we’ve lucked tn all of them." “I had a brother who wolk^ri in his sleep," said Captain Perkins, follow­ ing up a train of thought suggested by Mrs. Green s disappearance. “Do you want to heat the story about the funny place where, the zebra bit him?” “A little later,” I suggested hastily. "Just now we ail ought to scatter and help look Tor Mrs. Green.” “How was she dressed?’’ Captain Perkins Inquired. “I dont know. I'm not sure wheth­ er she was dressed at all or not—that is, she probably had on a kimono or something, but I don't think she bad on regular skirts and things.” “We might take a stroll along the beach," suggested Jim, whom I sus­ pected qf wanting to display his strip­ ed clothing In public. “Possibly we might find something we could eat” After tbe captain and Jim had start­ ed out Miss Dunmore seemed lost In deep and bewildered thought I fore­ bore to break in on so jiortentous a brain struggle. At last she si>oke. “Where do you suppose the zebra did bite Captain Perkins' brother?” “If rou go with him perhaps he will tell you,” I said, with fth Idea of doing my searching alone with a weather eye constantly peeled for Lucile and Bopp. “No," she demurred, “I would much rather go hunting with you. It will be more fun." Evidently she thought that hunting old ladies in the underbrush was one of our Innocent Island pastimes. I sighed. We sallied forth. If I had wanted to run across Lucile when I was alone I was just as anxious to avoid her while I was in the company of Miss Dunmore. “Do we have to And her before lunch?" <1 explained painstakingly the remote possibility either of finding Mrs. Green or of having any lunch. Contrary to my exjHeetarions, she took the informa­ tion about the lack of food juat aa cheerfully as she had everything else. I don’t believe it would be possible to dampen the spirits of that girl—not that she was unresponsive to another’s distress, for I have rarely met one so sympathetic, but she -was persistently «ptimlstlc. “I don’t mind going without lunch a bit,” she “4 very seldom eat anything until after the show at night anyway. Only there won’t be any show tonight to eat after, will there? That will seem funny. I’ve always been lu shows ever since I was a kid. except a few weeks in the middle of summer, and then generally I was re­ hearsing.” She laughed gayly. ■X’lda chattered away with all the heedless gayety of a child who knows that ww one is going to provide the next meal She told me at length about her fiance. That took a lot of the romance out of our walk. Not that I was fulling in love with Vida— not a bit of it—but it was too bad as long as I had lost favor with Lucile on her account to have her tell me about her love affair with some one else. I have since reasoned that she regarded me as being old enough to be her father or her Uncle Jack anti treated me accordingly. "I wouldn’t mind being all alone with you on this island," she confided “If you were only Jack.” * “Jack? Who is Jack?” “I mean Ned,” she explained. "I was going to marry Jack, but Ned wouldn't have it We wouldn’t care much about food even," she went on. “Ned would find something for me. He's dreadfully ingenious. That comes from writing plays, I guess. One has to be clever to think out plots for plays, don’t you think ?” “Not most of them" I lapsed into my critical manner. "Not as clever os you have to be to sell them." “He wrote a play once about two people on a desert Island. There was a bully part for the girl in IL They found bananas and cocoanuts to eat and some kind of birds’ eggs.” “In plays and stories dealing with castaways on an bland,” I explained, “the scene Is always conveniently lo­ cated on a tropical Island where all sorts of food products grow wild. May I ask If in. Mr. Blaney's play there was any treasure burled on the island?” . “Yea,” she assented. *' . "And were they attacked by savages armed with poisoned darts?’ "Oh, you’ve read his play I" “No, but I know juat what ought to land that we are on, you see, la quite germlna.ed from something she had said. There was a natural food re­ source on tue Island. I might be able to develop it quietly by myself and then if it was successful confer it a* a boon on the eptirc community. When we were about two-thirds of the way around the island a stinging patter of raindroj* drove us to shelter. There .was a small lattice summer house- overlooking the lake near by. and we hastened toward IL In our jiath was a shallow strip of water left by the waves of the night before and augmented by the rain. Vida looked In dismay at tbe muddy water. "I never can cross ItF’ ahe walled. "These are Miss Green's shoes, and I must not ruin them.” “We’ve got to get under cover,” I argued. . “You could carry me across,” she suggested practically—"that is, If you can-lift me." “I carried you farther than that this morning." “Were you the brave man who risk­ ed his Ilfs for me?” she exclaimed im­ pulsively. then added with naive con­ ceit: “I. know Ned can never thank you enough. Just pick me up in your big strong arms and put me down the minute we get across." So she gathered her skirts carefully about her, and I picked her up easily and splashed ‘through the puddle. I carried her into the summer house. Lucile and Bopp were there. I stood a moment In stupefied silence ond then put VMa down. “It started to rain,"' I stammered, "and we had to hunt up shelter. Miss Dunmore was So afraid of spoiling your clothes.’’ “That's ail right," said Lucile sweet­ ly. “I don’t mind their being wrinkled a bit I'm going to have that suit pressed anyway." Floundering in the net of a woman’s sarcasm, I was utterly at a loss for an answer. ____ 1 CHAPTER IX. DON’T believe you have met Mr. Bopp yet,” said Lucile to Vida as the girl galr.M her breath. flAt least you w<5re no! conscloui when you first sr.w each other.” “What name did you say?" “Mr. Bopp, my fiance." "Your fiance?" 1 ejaculated. ‘‘Yes.’’ Lucile turned to me. “I wanted to tell you two the first ones. I knew you would appreciate our hap­ piness.” My mind refused to grasp this dis­ aster. I had never seriously consider­ ed Bopp as running even a very dan­ gerous second. My mind puzzling over Lucile's state­ ment, I heard Vida’s clear soft voice saying, “Mr. Bopp, I am pleased—why. aren’t you called ‘Boppy?" I Picked Her Up Easily and Splashed Through. “BoppyF repeated Lucile curiously. “Yes, don't you call him that? All the girls in the ‘Show Girl' company did. I was In the chorus then. We used to regard him as almost one of the company, he was around with us so much. We had a good time that season," she added reflectively. Lucile murmured, "I should imagine "I know you wlll.be happy,” Vida was saying. “I’ve been engaged a good many times and I enjoy it more every time.” “You must l»e terribly tired, Monty,” I heard Lucile say; “no sleep for thir­ ty-six hours and no food for three days. I wish that there were something that I could do for you.” I listened in amazement Could this be Lucile, and was she addressing me? She was. I puzzled over the gentle­ ness In her tones and the solicitude she was showing for my welfare. I did not hit upon tbe answer then, but I have since. After awhile the rain let up, and we went back to the house to see what to stay out of doors, and I Mtqtffisfed that site take on Mr. Clair far a walk. I told her that be was a woman hater and t'jus inadvertently aroused her ln“Uli have to make him change his ideas.” She looked up at me innocent­ ly. "Do you think I can do itF “Ask him,” I suggested. "Meaning that you don’t think I can. I’ll bet my seal ring against yours that I can make him propose before dark. Mino Is a very curious one too. A Russian duke gave It to me. I Dever met him, but be sent it to my dressing room th some Cowers." I could see that Ned. Rigney was go­ ing to have the time of bis life imme­ diately after he found himself hitched more or .less for life to this volatile young person. Vida was not one of those who would pass by an inviting: pasture lot simply because she was its harness. As we came In the telephone was ring­ ing. Asking Lucile's permission, I an­ swered it “Hellof* said a male voice, speakh^-with staccato sbarpntsg. "May I speak, to Mr. Lipton 8. Clair?’ I put my baud over. the. moutbplMw and turned around. Lucile bad goneupstairs. but B ’pp was gazing idly out of tbe window. “Is Mr. Clair still there in the yard?* I asked him. “No; he went off down the beads with Miss Dunmore.” "Hello!” I spoke again into the tele­ phone. “Mr. Clair was here a moment ago, but he bus just gone for a walk With a young lady.” “Impossible!" The voice at the other end shot that emphatically at me. “It’s so.” "Clair Is a woman hater.” "What If he Is? This one is going to convert him.” "Humph. She can't do It. Who she?” ’ “Her name Is Miss Vida Dunmore.” "Vida Dunmore there?" “Certainly." “Thank heaven!" he ejaculated fer­ vently. •“I’ve been waiting for hour* for her to get here. How does she come to be there?” I explained to the young man, wbt» prpved to be Ned Blaney, as I had al­ ready suspected, all about the wreck ©X the Mary Bell and the casting ashoreof her passengers. “Thanks very much,” sold Blaneys with considerable relief lu his voice. “I’ll come right over after her. Don’t tell her that I called up and I wm surprise her. Goodby.” He hung up before I could tell him. that he probably couldn’t get any kind, of boat to come over to tlie'lsland, but I judged that he would find that out soon enough for himself. “Where’s Miss Green?” I psked Boppe *T advised her to lie doFfi for ft lit­ tle while and rest This search iswearlng her out. She is leaving every­ thing in my charge.”’ "I presume that congratulations ar* in order,” I said, extending my hand with as good a show of cordiality as I could muster. “I do congratulate you, Mr. Bopp." "We’re not regularly engaged,” Bopp, said sourly. “She has promised to be mine if I can find her mother. That makes me just about as near engaged to her as if we had never met" So Lucile’s promise had a string tied to it. My heart leaped exultantly. There was a chance yet. “Let’s have a drink on the strength of your engagement anyway,” I said, starting toward the kitchen. “Water?" queried Bopp, hoping; against hope. “Why, yes.” "No, thanks. My tummle Is lookingfor Mount Ararat now.” He sank dis­ consolately into a seat In a moment he rose wearily. “I’ve got to start out again. I promised Lucile I would search while she rested." Hardly had he left the house whets tbe telephone rang again. I answer­ ed It. “Hello." "Hello. Is that you, Mr. Blalney? Will tou call Lucile to the telephoned I want to"— Ihe voice ceased abruptly. “Hello," I culled, “hello, hello!” There was no answer. Tbe voice I bad Just been Usteninc to was that of Mrs. Green.

What could MeL Green be doing there on a stormy dky like this?” I could not explain to a gossipy tele­ phone operator what had really hap­ pened to Mrs. Green. I did not know much about It myself, and the few facts of her disappearance that I was cognizant of would hardly sound well.

Mr. Truman has been in busi­ ness la Nashville for over a quarter of a century, and has certainly earn­ ed the right to retire, which the public will nevertheless be sorry to see him do. •At the usual time, between ono and two o'clock Monday morning, another incendary fire occurred in Nashville, and the factory and fruit evaporating works of the Williams Fruit Evaporator Co., on south State street, were totally destroyed. The building In which they were located was one built by A. W. Olds many years ago and used by him as a saw mill. Later on a croquet ^t factory was the occupant. Then the third floor did duty for a time as a roller skating rink, after which it was vacant for several years until It was purchased by G. W.

No woman should consider herself healthy and well if the kidneys are weak. Poisons that pass off when the kidneys are well, are retained in tbe body when the kidneys are dis­ ordered. If the kidneys and blad­ der become inflamed and swollen worse troubles may quickly follow. This is often the cause of bearing­ down pains, lameness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning is also frequent cause of headaches, dizzy spells, lan­ guor, nervousness and rheumatic pain. When suffering so, try Doan’s Kid­ ney Pills, a remedy that has proven effective in.thousands of such cases. Let this Nashville woman tell of her experience. Mrs. H. P. Hayes, south Mam street, says: "I could hardly turn in bed on aocount of a lame back. My kidneys acted irregularly and 1 had dizzy spells and black spots floated before my eyes. I was com­ pletely discouraged and thouga I doctored -I didn’t get permanent benefit. I finally bought some of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Von W. Fur­ niss’ Drug Store and they relieved me of the trouble." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hayes had.

It graces the table lu a far greater va­ riety than any other fruit. Of all fruits grown in North America, the apple leads in amount and intrinsic value. No fear of an overproduction, however. If the means of transportation and dis­ tribution are perfected. What if we do raise 125,000 carloads of apples or 02,000,000 boxes a year?

Shortly after the ceremony a wed­ ding supper was served in .the dining room, which was decorated with smilax and a distinct patriotic tone was given by the flowers of red, white and blue that formed the beautiful centerpiece on the table. The wedding gifts were many and beautiful, among them being a gold wrist watch, a gift from Lieutenant Ide to his bride, a sterling silver tea set from the bride’s father, W. M. Bryant, and one hundred dollars in gold from her mother, Mrs. Bryant. The bride received a chest of silver and fifty dollars In gold from her grandmother, Mrs. William, Ritchie, and from her uncle, Geo. W’. Ritchie, a one-thousand dollar bill. Lieutenant and Mrs. Ide left dur­ ing the evening for a short eastern trip, their honeymoon being shorten­ ed by his orders to report at Camp Custer on August 29. Sir. and Mrs. Philip Dahlhouser and sou Charles of Nashville were among tbe out of town guests. Among the bridal party were also several men from Fort Sheridan, who were camp-mates of Lieut.

In getting those bivalves to loosen up 1 ruined two hatchets, a can opener, a thumb and an already frazzled temper. Lucile came downstairs while I was in the kitchen, but she did not come ouv where I was. 1 heard her asking some oue in the living room, “Who left tbe telephone off the hook?” There was a mumbled reply in the voice of Captain Perkins which I did not catch. Lucile apparently put the receiver back in its place, because presently the telephone bell rang, and she answered it “No,” I beard her say, “Mr. Clair is not here." Then, after a pause: “No, Miss Dunmore isn’t here either. Who shall I say called? Ob, you don't wish them to be notified? Very well" There was a click as of tbe receiver being placed on the hook. I came in from tbe kitchen. Lucile greeted me pleasantly enough when I asked her how she had enjoyed her nap. “I don't think I've been asleep," she denied. “I just rested, that was all." I did not tell her that I did not be­ lieve her. “Your mother called up," I said, briefly. “Called up?" Lucile repeated. "How could she?’ “From Huntingdon's Island," I ex­ plained and went on to tell what I knew of Mrs. Green's experience. "She bad no right to frighten me so," Lucile exclaimed; also Lucile selfishly disregarded my sufferings; also those of Bopp. His emotions. I imagine, were chiefly confined to his digestive apparatus, but I suppose they must be er“ad escaped only by a tnlracle. “What possessed her to do such a thing?"

I interrupted Captain Perkins. “Your mother was scarcely responsible," I said. “My brother was that, way," chimed in the real estate captain. “You never could tell where you could find him nights. But the time that tbe zebra bit him was the curiousest, I allow." "The zebra bit him?’’ Lucile's inter­ est was aroused. The captain settled himself to tell his favorite tale, but did not get started because Vida breezed in with a rather shamefaced Clair in tow. She came directly to me. “I’ll take that ring, pleas?,’’ she said. “Do you really want it?" “Certainly. I am entitled to wear IL" “Of course she ought to have your ring,” urged Lucile. “That one will am afraid I won't be jilted," said Clair. do until you can get her something congratulate you, Miss Dunmore?” “Has Mr. Blalney told you about ItT* Vida asked, naturally surprised that a third party should take an interest in a jesting wager. “He didn’t need to.” Lucile smiled. With Clair present I could hardly explain that Miss Dunmore had won xny ring because she bad made him propose to her. Thus I allowed my­ self to be misunderstood once more. I retired us gracefully as possible to the kitchen, to be followed there short­ ly by Lipton 8. Clair. “May I speak with you alone?" he demanded cautiously,* looking first right and then left like a stage villain. rw ra “You mean you were jilted?" "That's a short, ugly word," 1 mused, tempted to put him In with the clams, “but ‘ 'twin pass—aye, it will serve.’ ” “But I am afraid I won't be jilted.” said Clair thoughtfully. “You see, I am a very desirable match.” I bowed and picked up a piece of cord wood. He went on obliviously: “l am a wo­ man hater. The ornamental sex'has no place in the world of a man of genius. All my life I have escaped, and here on a bleak, inhospitable is­ land, where there are only two women, I am trapped by one of them.” “I take it that you are engaged to Miss Dunmore," I hazarded. “Practically," ho retorted glumly. “She trapped me into a sort of pro­ posal I didn’t know what I was say“And she accepted you?” “Not yet,” be replied, “but there is no hope; she wilt I don’t suppose she has met many men of culture among her associates, and I imagine I am a novelty to her.” . . “Man. I said admiringly, “you’d be a novelty to any girl.” "Thank you,” said he absently. “But what can I do now?” CHAPTER XI. “11 THY," I explained Innocently to Claire, “when you get on the mainland you get a marriage license, and un­ less you prefer a church wedding 1 would suggest that you hunt up the justice of the peace and get it over with. I don't believe in long engage­ ments myself." I was perfectly will­ ing to tease tills pedantic braggart. We owed him something for that fast­ ing article anyway. • “But I don't want to marry any one,” be cried. “I must not sacrifice my ca­ reer to romance and sentiment. I be­ long to the world. There must be a way out” “If you don’t want to marry Miss Dunmore, why did y6h arouse Jhe pf passion in Let Innbcenl breast?" 1 demanded. “I don't know.” He writhed In men­ tal anguish. "I didn't dream that I was even being agreeable to her.” “Some women are more attracted by indifference than by attention," I com­ forted. “Others are fascinated by downright brute violence." “I suppose tfiere must be some charm about me that I did uot dream of,” he mused modestly. "Don't you think she could forget me if she did not sea me for a long while?" “I'm afraid," I sighed, “that, having once met you, no girl could ever for­ get you." “Come now," he said sharply, trying to detect a smile on my face; “it isn't as bad as that If I could get away and write her a letter saying that I had been taken down with some ill­ ness and could not as a dying man bold her to her promise, that would solve the difficulty." "Rather a nifty idea," I commented, “but as a novelist you must know that the heroine always files to the bedside of the stricken hero and nurses him back to life. There is no use. Miss Dunmore would not show you to die." “No, I suppose not." He abandoned this scheme reluctantly. Another thought brightened him. "Tbe getting away part of It Is all right It 1 did that I could get put in jail or some­ thing like that where she couldn’fposslbly see me. While I was there I could write an article on prison re­ forms.” I heartily Indorsed this scheme. The idea of seeing him In prison appealed to use personally. "The colossal blind­ ness of a conceited fathead like that trying to get away from a charming, sweet young girl like Vida alienated him from human consideration. He mused a moment “Til 1 do it," be exclaimed. “If I don’tt show up, mum's the word.” “You can't get away,” I reminded him. “There’s no boat” “L forgot to tell you that I am the champion swimmer of the Brooklyn . Athletic club. 1 t|ilnk I saw some bathing suits hanging up In the shed. With one of those on It will be child’s play to me.” Strangely cheered, he let himself out the back way and left me to tbe si­ lence of my clams. I left the clams to their own devices for awhile and went back to the living room. Vida was there idly taking im­ pressions from my seal ring on some soft kneaded rubber that lay on Lu­ cile’s desk. Lucile herself was not in sight The captain and the best cook who ever ran a marine engine were sunk deep in tbe gloom which sur­ rounds the nonreading man when cut off from his kind and his employment “Well," said Vida when I stood over her like an accusing judge, “what have I done now? 'Shouldn’t I play with this rubber this way?” “You know what yotfve done,” II said sternly. “You trapped Lipton S. Clair into proposing to you." .

Is Clair there?” "No, he's not here now.” “Then let n.e speak to Miss Dun­ more." “She isn’t here either,” I explained. “Oh, they’re out walking together again, I suppose,” said my namesake sarcastically. “No, not walking,” I said: “swim­ ming.” "What? At this time of night?” he yelled. “Not both of them? Vida can’t swim." “Maybe he is teaching her how," I suggested. I didn’t know of any rea­ son why I should ease his mind any­ way. A little jealousy would be good for him. “Oh!" He took the blow like a nrp Then I heard him say faintly, “Goodby,” and I hung up the receiver Lucile confronted me when I turned around. “Do yon know where Tootles IbT* “No, I don’t know where she is," I replied, with strict adherence to the truth. "Isn’t she here?” I added gulle*No, and I’m dreadfully worried. There are so many strange people in the house that some one may have let her out, not knowing how careful we are with her. She might get lost and starved or get her feet wet and have pneumonia, or a hawk might carry her off." At this moment tho unspeakable Bopp entered.

I passed you a dozen times, and I'd never have seen you at all if I hadn't beard you snore." (TO BE CONTINUED.) ‘ Apples Valuable ae Food. Apples should be used In our diet as often as possible. They are easily ob­ tained, reasonable in price, lend va­ riety to the menu and are of value as a food and as a preventive of disease. Nothing In all our varied and fascinat­ ing range of fruits holds quite the same quality and qualifications as the apple. The more apples we add to our dietary the clearer brain and cleaner skin we are likely to have. A new, ripe apple at its best is digested In 85 minutes. ‘ ' Egyptians as Agriculturists. The undent Egyptians had mansions supplied with gardens, orchards, fish ponds and game preserves; they were acquainted with the benefits of the ro­ tation of crops, and bred poultry ex­ tensively, practicing artificial batching as we do at the present time. As early as 4^14 B. CL, or 0,481 years ago, irrigation became an object of national Importance to the Egyptians. Mary Ellen had a new baby b in her arms. Aunt Amy was visttfijf them one day, and Mary Ellen, coming in from play, found her holding baby brother. She stood watching her aunt with longing eyes for several minutes, then, turning to her mother, she said: “I wish brother was twins.” Not What Was Wanted. . “I have do patience with men who fail in love with amusing girls and then grumble because they don’t find them soothing; it is like buying dlamoods and crying because you can’t make them up into flannel petticoats." —Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler. �A MONEY SAVER, RIGHT Ladies' muslin underwear, Ladies’ silk waists, ‘ Leonard Reynolde ot Vermontville I i called on Me Parente.

I bought Doan's Kidney Pills at Von W. Furniss’ Drug Store, and they acted promptjy, removing the back­ aches and correcting the other symp­ toms of kidney trouble.” Lasting results.

The Sign Of a Good Cook PROTECT WHEAT FROM DISEASE nr NEW TREATMENT. Michigan farmers, who this sea­ son suffered a loss of something more than 700,000 bushels of wheat from the disease known as “stinking smut,' can stop this leak In the future if they will make use of the new concen­ trated formaldehyde treatment known as the “Cornell method," say plant pathologists of the Michigan Agri­ cultural college. By spraying the grain with the concentrated solution. It has been found, and covering it with canvas sacks for four hours, smut can be effectually and cheaply controlled. "Stinking smut isn't an unavoid­ able trouble," the pathologists stale, though there was a time when treat­ ing seed for it was somewhat of a tiresome and laborious process. It Is now no longer, so. Heretofore most farmers who have treated their seed have used the dilute formalde­ hyde method, but the new way 1b much simpler. "With the new treatment the for­ maldehyde Is used just as It comes from the drug store, that Is, without being diluted. The seed wheat Is simply spread In a long heap on the barn floor. Then one man sprays the grain with the concentrated for­ maldehyde while another shovels It over, turning it from one pile intd another just as you would cement. The spraying can be done with a small hand atomizer of pint or quart size. One pint of formaldehyde Is used for 50 bushels of grain. Where smaller quantities than 50 bushels Proper selection Indicates a desire for and a knowledge of the essen­ tials of success. You cannot buy in a slipshod fashion and mix things up in a hap­ hazard way and be a good cook, or a good anything else. Such a policy produces slatterns instead of experts, and develops adversity instead of prosperity. Whenever and wherever you find the housewife using Lily White “The Flour the Beet Cooke Uee. you find good cooking. Not just because she uses Lily White Flour but because she has the power of discrimination and discernment She knows the difference between the Oh-I-guess-it-wiH-do variety and the Exactly-what-I-want kind. It is mighty significant that the vast majority of good cooks choose, and insist on having, Laly White Flour and no other. We suppose that’s how Lily White came to be known as “The flour the best cooks use.” Anyhow it seems as though they will soon all be using it the way the demand keeps on increasing.

Washington, Aug? 28. — President Wilson on Monday night issued a proc­ lamation giving the government con­ trol over all commodities exported from the United States. It Is the most dntiiUe step for econ­ omy control taken by any nation dur­ ing the war. The president said he alms at control, not at actual stop­ ping of exports. All articles of commerce must, be licensed for export to enemy coun­ tries and European neutral*. This will give the United States for the first time control over certain muni­ tions and money sent to the neutrals. The list of. commodities for which license is required is widely extend­ ed. Protect* U. S. Need*. “This,” says the president, "is for the protection of our own needs." . The proclamation was accompanied by an explanation in which the presi­ dent detailed the difference between the- dlvisions established in naming the commodities coming under the ruling. . "The .purpose of this proclamation is not export prohibition, but merely export control/’ the president said. "It is not the Intention to interfere unnecessarily with our foreign trade, but our own domestic needs must be safeguarded and-the necessities of all the nations at war with Germany must be protected. After these needs are met, it is our wish and Intention to administer to the needs of the neu­ tral nation*. This task will be dis­ charged without other than the prop­ el qualification that the liberation of our surplus products shall not be made the occasion of benefit to the enemy, either directly or Indirectly. "No licenses will be necessary for the Importation of coin, bullion, cur­ rency and evidences of Indebtedness until required by regulations to be promulgated by the secretary of the treasury at his discretion.” The administration of the proclama­ tion, except as it refers to coin, bul­ lion and currency, is placed in the hands of the exports administrative board. - This board a few days npi had no authority to act. Its members, headed by Vance McCormick, chairman, ad­ vocated a strict rationing system with regard to allies and neutrals alike. BRYAN SCORES FOES OF U. S. Attack* Unpatriotic Utterance* a* Product* of Disaffected Heart* Rather Than Error* of Mind. Chicago. Aug. 28.—Unpatriotic utter­ ances, especially f»y men of promi­ nence. are more likely to be due to a wrong attitude of heart than an error of the mind, according io an Interview with William Jennings Bryan In Chi­ cago. “I do not want to make individual application," said '‘Mr. Bryan, "but while an unpatriotic utterance may pos­ sibly be due to an error of the mind, it Is more likely to be due to a wrong attitude of heart. The tongue is not likely to slip unless the heart skids. There can be but two sides to this war, and every American ought to be on the jdde of the United States. "No one who loves his country can afford to'take any chance of help­ ing the enemy by exciting division here.

Suit of Michigan, the Probate Court for the County of Barry. ■ . ____ ar fh. nrivKats Lizzie Mayo, daughter, having filed in said Court her petition praying that the administration of said estate be granted to Albert T. Shepard or to CAMP CUSTER TALES. By Charles C. Conn. The first Michigan - Wisconsin contribution to the new national army Is in the making. At Camp Custer, midway between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, Major General Dickman and his staff are building up the skeleton for a mighty force from the vanguard of selected men from the two states who began arriving at the cantonment Septem­ ber 5. The task, under existing conditions, presents a problem. Copstruction work at the camp is not complete. Full supplies and equipment have not yet been received. The official staff is not yet fully organized. But, des­ pite these hfnderances; the conscript­ ed man Is called upon to sacrifice no comfort—to endure no inconven­ ience. The welfare of the newcomers is first in the thoughts of the major general and his aides. Whatever may be lacking in the way of military equipment, there is shelter for all and plenty to eat. When the soldier-to-be reaches the cantonment he is directed first to divi­ sion headquarters where he is form­ ally enrolled and given a temporary company assignment. He is then entitled to visit the camp tailor who takes his general measurements tor a uniform and gives him an order on the quartermaster's department for his outfit. A few minutes later the new arrival has the first opportunity of seeing himself garbed in the mili­ tary mark ot tbe nation—of exper­ iencing that undescrlbable thrill that comes with the realization that he has dropped his identity as a civilian and become a real soldier. intensive training is under way for those of the first increment who will be counted on to form the basis of organization for those .who are to arrive later. For the first few weeks, however, progress will ot necessity be slow; but as succeeding Increments arrive, camp life will gradually resolve It­ self into military routine and the work of preparing men of Michigan and Wisconsin for their part in the drive against autocracy will be under full headway. ’ | thoughts may be, is one ot the in­ alienable rights ot free men. A little sober reflection will show the fallacy of such reasoning. We have laws against murder, arson" rape, and many other crimes. Would । any dare raise their voice against 'obedience to these laws’ How long would such a person remain at large? But these, you may say. are vitally necessary. Granted, but we will go further. Taxes are levied, and all ere re­ quired to pay. Have you the right to counsel resistance to the tax col­ lector or throw obstacles In his way? 1 You may not approve of the particu­ lar law under which the taxes are lev­ ied and collected. You have a per­ feet right to ceek to have that law re­ pealed; but NO right to seek to nul­ lify It. It is the will of the majority, and as such must stand until repeal­ ed by a majority. While the selective draft law was pending In congress every American citizen had a right to raise his voice against It if he felt so Inclined. But AFTER its passage NO person has the right to counsel or practice re­ sistance to it. The rule is absolute. Its enforce­ ment has not always been strict; but this, as we have stated, was due to undue leniency when the urge ot public safety did not demand strict measures. Now. however, public safety DEMANDS IMPLICIT OBED­ IENCE to the laws of the land, and every loyal citizen will throw the whole weight of his Influence In the scale on the side of law and public security. To do otherwise is to betray the government that harbors and protects you. FREE SPEECH.

"Sure 1 know him. She set over yon ’bout three mile, maybe four or two and a half." “Well, the young man you brought over bore has decided to stay for an hour or so While you are waiting I want you to take me over to Hunting­ don’s and get Mrs. Green." “Mrs. Green!

As soon as we left the mouth of the cove we went through some evolutions which I would have said it was absolutely impossible for a man of my build to perform. I was favorably considering the idea of being seasick when a larger wave than usual washed over and struck the engine. It expired peacefully on the spot "What has happened?” I asked, with a landsman’s justified terror. "Tho engine has stopped." Bill’s calm statement of tbe obvious exas­ perated me. “Of course It has stopped. Can we ever start it again?” “Sure. She shall run some more. The wave, she’ short circuit the spark.

Bill has to have so many different kinds of cans; there are cans for milk and cans for cream and cans for wat—ev­ er else he happens to have cans for and cans for gasoline and cans for kerosene, etc., so It's really no won­ der that he got hold of the wrong can and filled his auto tank w*ith kero­ sene instead of gasoline. 'It worked all right for a spell, for the car had really got used to the rotten gasoline we get now-a-days and it took it quite a spell to discover the difference, but It did finally get wise and refused to budge a foot farther, so Bill sent out the S. O. S. for the kid to come and draw out the kerosene and substitute the gas. No danger of Bill filling the tank with milk, however, not at ten cents per quart, not if we know Bill.

Did you know that you could have your old tirea, that have blown out, vulcanized right here at home and made serviceable again at a very low price? We have a complete vulcanizing outfit, and can repair and vulcanize your old tires so that you can get many mUes more service out of them. All kinds and all sizes of tires can be repaired and made serviceable. Don’t sell your tires for old rubber until they are worn out. You can get just as much forthem then, and in the mean time you can get lots of good service out of them. Bring in your discarded tires and we will fix them up in good shape for you, and you will be surprised and pleased at the low price our work will cost you. A. D. GIBSON & SON NASHVILLE, MICH.

Going to Grand Rapids Thursday to see the fair, heard a slight noise that didn’t seem just natural, somehow, so we stopped the old hayrack and got out to give* it the ohca over. On one rear tire was a bunion that was about ready to spill hot air all over the scenery, so we pulled off the valve stem and let the air out on the Installment plan instead of all at once, and put on the only exra tire we had. Then we noticed that the other rear tire had a rather aenemic expression, so we had to take that off and put another inner tube in. Then we limped into Grand Rapids on that bum tire and a prayer, and when we arrived there found there wasn’t money enough in the party to buy a new tire. ’Spose that was to pay us for poking fun at Butch Wenger last week. How did we get home? Really it’s none of your darned business, but we found a fellow in Grand Rapids who didn’t know us very well and he loaned us money enough to buy two new tires. Oh, well, this world isn’t all trouble, after all. Yes, there’s some little talk fight now around town about one thing and another, but wouldn't It be Just as well if we don’t judge too harshly until we know all about it? Let’s remember some of the damphool things we have done ourselves, some­ times in the past that we would like to forget, and try to be as charitable as we would have wished our friends to have been if we had been found out in some of our slipping out of the pathway. Anyway, what partic­ ular good does it do to hash all these things over and over? Look the other way, once in a while; you won’t get cross-eyed doing it in a good cause. And you might a great deal better go and hear a good sermon than listen to some t>f the stuff that people like to. peddle around. It*s just as well to remember what Josh Billings said: “Half uv the liqp that are told about your neighbors Ain’t true,” or as Mark Twain said when he was reported dead, ’’The reports about my death seem to have been greatly exaggerated." Be sure what you are going to tell is true, and thpn don't tell it unless It will do some good. A Nashville business man hitched up his ambulance and took bis fam­ ily out Sunday evening for a little spin around the country. He drove north of town, around a square, went east a ways, then south, then turned west again, trying to find his way home, and finally had to admit to himself that he was hopelessly lost in a vast wilderness. He didn’t want to stop and ask his way, for he was sure he would find one of his cus­ tomers who would give him the laugh, so he kept on going.. When he finally found himself winding around the sinkhole in the road just east of Quimby he recognized the landscape and turned around, arriv­ ing home after a thirty mile trip that he couldn’t go out and cover again on a bet.

Washington, magst ruhig sein." ' This is, of course, a parody on the refrain of “Die Wacht am Khein.” the German national hymn: “Lieb’ Vaterland, magst ruhig sein." •'Loved fatherland, be restful (or undisturbed).’’ In the .parody it carries a sneer com­ prehensible only to' one who under­ stands the German mode of speech and thought Type of German Propaganda. Of Itself the Instance Is'slight But It typifies a certain important phase of the German propaganda which subtly but persistently seeks to pre­ sent Germafij’s Wrarsd in America In the most favorable light, even to the extent of defending the Improper ac­ tivities of the Teutonic diplomatic .rep­ resentatives before their passports were given them. Because of this 'continuing propa­ ganda certain documents in the pos­ session ot the depnrttnent of justice now assume peculiar Importance, in that they prove undeniably the inti­ mate relations between the accredited representatives of the kaiser In the United States and plotters against the laws and the security of this country,’ whose enterprise did not fall short of projected wholesale destruction of life and property. In the fall of 1914, when the Ger­ man plots Against Canada were foment­ ing In this country,' ihere was estab­ lished nt GO Wall street an "advertis­ ing" office presided over by a big, suave man of Teutonic aspect named Wolf von Igel. There were two peculiar features alwmt tils office. One was that it was frequented during two years of slngulariy quiet and unbusinesslike exist­ ence chiefly by Germans who had nothing whatsoever to do with adver­ tising. The other was a large safe, bearing the insignia of the German im­ perial government. Von Igel Defies U. 8. Agents. To this office there came one morn­ ing in April, 1916, while Von Igel was preparing a mass of papers which he had taken from the safe for transfer to the German embassy in Washington, four United States secret service agents from the department of justlyc, who made their way past the guarddians always on duty, put Von Igel under arrest and undertook to seize die papers. The * German was large, powerful ’and brave. With the aid of one asso­ ciate he stubbornly fought the officers, striving to rescue the papers, to dose the safe, to get to the telephone and communicate with his superiors. Re­ volvers were drawn by the secret sen vice men. They produced no effeci upon the Intrepid Von Igile. “This is German territory," he shout ed. “Shoot me and you will bring on There was no shooting. But aftei a protracted struggle the defender* were overpowered and the paper* seized. Find Proof Plot Was Laid. When the papers were examined by the department of justice the reason for Vou. Igel’s determined fight be­ came apparent. Here in the form of letters, telegrams, cashbooks, checks, receipts, ledgers, cashbooks, cipher codes, lists of spies, and other memo­ randa and records, were found I ndfea­ tions—in some instances of vaguest na­ ture, in others of the most damning conclusivenesa—that the German im­ perial government, through its repre­ sentatives in a tneu friendly nation, was concerned virlth— Violation of laws of the United Slates.

He drew a long breath and waited for her to speak. He didn’t know the girl and be hoped she didn’t know him. Otherwise she might be like the oth­ ers ; overtalkatfve, unnatural, and apt to overdo. He was too modest to ap­ preciate the fact that, us the best catch in the matrimonial sea, he was apt to be offered bait in generous quan­ tities and of Infinite variety. Dorothy looked around the dining room with wide eyes, then up at him with a smile. “I can't believe I’m awake,” sbe said. “No?” It was an invitation to go on. "No. They say that sometimes a wish is father to a thought Maybe I’ve just wished for something like this so often that now I think It's true. Maybe I'm not here at all—only think­ ing I am." "What does it matter? Maybe I’m thinking all this too.” "I was just thinking," she remarked in the Interval before the soup, “that it's a shame Bob couldn't be here. He’d . love it so.

She laugbed. but colored neverthe­ less. ’ He changed the subject "Are you fond of old silver?” he asked. “I’ve been admiring those Georgian candle­ sticks The pattern is very rare.” "I’ve been collecting bits here and there,” he went on. “No doubt you car^ tell me some wonderful things about old silver.

I knpw where there are some splendid collec­ tions In the South, but you can’t get them.” Dorothy’s appetite for food'suddenlydisappeared. She laid down her fork and looked so distressed that Alex wondered what dreadful thing he had said. "I want to—to tell you," said the girl finally, “where I happen to know you may find a beautiful collection of Georgian silver. It Is at Berni’s, on Fifth avenue. It all came from one family, and It seems to me the things ought to stay together." Then sud­ denly and brightly, as If to put a dis­ tasteful thought behind her, T wish you could know Wally and Bob.

The next day he stopped In Berni's. And there was borothy herself, hat­ less, costless and In the plain black garb-of a clerk. She colored furiously when she saw him. Alex was puzzled. Was the story of Virginia, then, merely a happy fiction, manufactured to entertain a dinner partner? If -so, it was good. “Good afternoon.” he said; “I understand there was a fine collection of old Georgian silver here. May I see itF“Certainly I” Dorothy led the way* to a table on which was an array that made Alex fairly jump with astonishment. "It’s splendldl" he cried, “Whose was it? Where did it come from? I never saw anything like It” "The silver is mine—all I have. But the boys must go to school, and it must go.

BROWN The Penslar Store REXALL REMEDIES For The Kidneys The kidneys are for removing waste matter from the system. These waste matters are poisonous. When they are not promptly and completely expelled from the body they clog other organs, interfering with their work. Therefore, kidney troubles often lead to other troubles—eye diseases, nervous affections, chronic headache, rheumatism, neuralgia. Neglecting your kidneys, when there is anything the matter lth them, is a serious thing. Rexall Kidney Pills t, we believe, a most effective remedy for kidney ailments and kness of all kinds. We make this statement after loner exienoe with other forms of kidney treatment.

"I didn’t know you until you spoke. I'm awfully glad to see you, but you do need some one to look after you.’’ Benton laughed tolerantly. •Terhaps. ’ But, my dear girl, a fel­ low doesn't get anywhere on his ap­ pearance to this country.

If I hadn't been expecting to see you I wouldn't have known you." "I doubt if I should have known you either,” she returned drily. Stella accompanied her brother to the store, where he gave an order for sun­ dry goods. Then they went to the ho­ tel to see If her trunks had arrived. Within a few yards of the fence which inclosed the grounds of St Allwoods a man hailed Benton and drew him a few steps aside. Stella walked‘slowly on, and presently her brother joined her. The baggage wagon bad brought the trunks, and when she bad paid her bill they were delivered at the outer wharf end, where also arrived at about the same time a miscellaneous assortment of supplies from the store and a Jap­ anese with her two handbags. So far as Miss Estella Benton could see, she was about to embark on the last stage of her Journey. “How soon will you start?” she* in­ quired when the last of the stuff was stow-J aboard the little steamer. “Twenty minutes or so. ’ Benton an­ swered. “Say,” he went on casually, "have you got any mcne.v. Stell? I owe a fellow $30, and I left the bank roll and myche.k book at camp." Miss Benton drew the purse from her handbag and gave it to him. He pocketed It and went off down the wharf, with the brief assurance that he would be gone only a minute or so. The minute, however, lengthened to nearly an hour, and Sam Davie had his blow-off valve hissing, and Stella Benton was casting impatient glances shoreward before Charlie strolled lei­ surely back. "You needn't Are up quite so strong. Sam,” he called down. -"We won't start for a couple of hoifrs yet” “Sufferin’ Moses!” Davis poked his flcry thatch out from the engine room. ”1 might ’a’ known betterin to sweat over firin' up. You generally manage to make aboqt three false starts to one get-away.” Benton laughed good naturedly and turned away. “Do you usually allow your men to address you in that impertinent way?” Miss Benton desired to know. Charlie looked blank for a second; then he smiled and, linking his arm affectionately to hers, drew her off along the wharf, chuckling to himself. REP. C. B. MILLER Representative C. B.

'Ibis, cur-first shipment. Included the following: One hundred trod fifty-four draw: sheets, 301 hot water bottle corer?, 256 bed sheets, 239 shoulder wraps, 754 pillow cases, 186 hospital shirts. 249 pairs bed socks, 131 suits pa­ jamas. One equipment for one pa­ tient, and, several hundred substi­ tutes for handkerchiefs, which were cut from old listen. Ten townships furnished articles for this shipment; the remaining six are hard at work but local condi­ tions did not permit pf completed work at this time. Uniform quality of work was a strong feature ot this shipment and we wish to thank all workers for their painstaking efforts to maintain the high standard set for our coun­ ty. Only a very few garments in. the whole number needed any cor­ rection whatever, and in these the errors were very small. Many ot the branches are now pre­ paring to give out yarn, needles and Instructions. Printed directions for each article are ready for each* knitter. Again we emphasize the necessity of turning back to com­ mittees any surplus yarn. True, each article calls for a certain am­ ount and yet no two knitters will use the same quantity In making like Erments. Some will uqp more and me less. One knitter's surplus can fill the other’s lack. Measure your work carefully. Repeatedly has this question come to- us: Can the local Red Cross chap­ ter equip our local boys with Red Cross supplies? Especially has this been asked In regard to the knitted sets. The following is official: "Arrangements are now being made by the Bureau of Camp Ser­ vice of the American Red Cross, Washington, D. C., for the appoint­ ment of field directors who are to be stationed at the different camps and cantonments, and have in charge the distribution of Red Cross supplies. "The quota of knitted articles as­ signed to chapters does not Include knitted articles that may have been or are being provided for boys going from the local community of state. Any knitted article furnished for the purpose of outfitting the boys at home should be considered as extra." Barry county can scarcely reach its quota, yet how willingly would we assume the work for our boys were It possible. However, the Red Cross will care for all boys if each chapter does its share. . • We have saved all outing and muslin scraps from the cutting of garments, and these can now be ut­ ilized in the making of gun wipes. They are cut Into squares 2 1-2 by 2 1-2 inches and are strung 20 on a string. This work has been turned over to the Girls' Friendly society in Hastings. Tlrose girls have form­ ed themselves into a Red Cross auxiliary and their application for service has been in for some time. The task of decentralization of Red Cross activities, which have been hertofore handled at national headquarters, is now completed, and as a result this nation-wide organi­ zation now is made up of 13 divi­ sions. In each division a promi­ nent citizen of that section has been appointed division manager and In each division headquarters the var­ ious functional offices are being or­ ganized as at national headquarters. We are in the central division, com­ prising Michigan, Wisconsin, Illi­ nois, Iowa &nd Nebraska^ w ith head­ quarters at Chicago. " * di" We deal rect with ' ' Chicago 'in all matters. Geo. R. Hyde, Chairman Mrs. Jason E. McElwain Vice-Chairman BACKING UP PROOF. The Kind That Nashville Cannot Deny. People Many an earnest Nashville man or ' woman has publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. Week after week, month ‘after month .you've read their statements. Would these Nashville people rec­ ommend any medicine If It were not good? Would they confirm and repeat their statements softer years had passed? Local proof Is good evidence. Testimony confirmed years after Is better evidence. The following Nashville man's statement leaves no room for doubt. It must convince every kidney sufferer who reads it. It your back aches—if your kid­ neys are weak, profit by the exper­ ience of G. J. Smith, machinist, Gregg street. He says: “My kid­ neys troubled me for some little time. I had a lame back and suffered from pains across my kidneys. Whenever I had an attack of the trouble I bought Doan’s Kidney Pills at Von W. Furniss' Drug Store and they never failed to help me." MORE THAN THREE YEARS LATER, Mr. Smith said: "Doan's Kidney PlUs gave me relief from kidney trouble and I am. glad to' agall recommend them." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Smith has twice publicly recom­ mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Weather Signs. The old remark about a red eve­ ning and a gray morning as indicat­ ing good weather (alluded to in the Gospel of St Matthew) still holds good as well ns that which says that a red sky in the morning foretells bad weather with much rain and perhaps wind. One of these remarks has taken form In; "A red sky at night Is the sailors delight; a red sky at morning Is the sailors' warning.” U. S. SHIP KILLS 2 ON U DIVER Submarine Failed to Answer Pa­ trol’s Signal at Night. DANIELS SENDS HIS REGRET Secretary In Message to Italian.Minh try of Marine Expressed Deepest Regret and Tendered Ameri­ ca’s Sympathy. Washington, Oct 9.—-Vice Admiral Sims cabled the navy department that an American patrol vessel on duty at nigh? Ln the war zone had fired on an Italian submarine, which failed to an­ swer recognition signals, killing one of­ ficer and one enlisted man. Secretary of the Navy Daniels nt once sent a message, to the Italian ministry of marine,, expressing the deepest regret over the unfortunate occurrence and tendering his and the American naty's sympathy for the loss of life. While details of th** incident are unknown here, the fact that an offi­ cer and an enlisted' man were killed indicates that the American gunners fended a shot in the submarine’s con­ ning tower, the victims being the offlcer at the periscope and the bluejack­ et at the wheel. . Navy’s Statement. The navy department on Monday is­ sued this statement: "The navy department has been in­ formed by Vice Admiral Sims that re­ cently an American patrol vessel, while on patrol duty at night, encountered an Italian submarine and that, wherf the la&?r failed to answer the estab­ lished recognition signals, the patrol vessel opened fire, which resulted In the killing of one officer and one en­ listed man before* the identity of the submarine was established. . “Vice Admiral Sims is thoroughly Investigating the unfortunate occur­ rence and reports will be forwarded later to the department Message to Italy. • “The secretary of the navy upon re­ ceipt of the first news dispatched the following message to the Italian minis­ ter of marine: “ 'I have, learned with deepest regret of the unfortunate occurrence which resulted in an American patrol vessel firing, through a misunderstanding, upon an Italian submarine, causing the death of one officer and one enlisted man on the latter. "‘As our patrol vessels are in Eu­ ropean waters primarily for the pur­ pose of co-operating with the Italian and other allied vessels In our common cause, the unfortunate encounter is all the more regrettable. ** *Due to the recent unusual activity of enemy, submarines In this region, which have resulted in the*4oss of sev­ eral vessels, the patrol had been strict­ ly maintained and the unfortunate fact that the patrol vessel did not obtain the recognition signals resulted in her opening fire. “‘Please accept on behalf of myself and the American navy sincere and heartfelt sympathy for the loss of life which has resulted. / " ‘JOSEPHUS DANIELS.’" Prices .59, .75, $1.00, $1.25 and up.

Now as the night wind colder grows I befip the pine knots higher, Then stretch myself upon the sand before the blazing fire, And as 1 watch the black smoke curling up among the trees, Or slowly wafted out of sight upon the gentle breeze, My thoughts like smoke are carried, as the fires of memory glow To the happy days of childhood so many yeara ago: I see a little barefoot boy, hU face sunburned and brown— Upon his head a broad brimmed hat, hair sticking through the crown; His eyes wide with excitement, end pride in every look As he starts on his first fishing trip down to the meadow brook. With a beat pin for a fish hook, and a line from mother's spool. With old Tige trotting by his side, he hastens to the pool— He climbs the rail fence by the barn, beneath the maple's shade, While old Tige crawls through underneath—a hole the pigs had made; Beside old Tlge upon the grassy bank I see him kneel, A broomstick for a fish pole and bls elbow for a reel: He dreams of catching whales and sharks, of whitefish, trout and brim. And as he closely watched the coik. old Tige was watching him: But "hist”, the cork begins to bob, he gives one awful yank, • And his first fish (three inches long) lies flopping on the bank. Since then I've flshed on many sens, in many lake and streams— I've caught the trout In mountain brooks, where sunlight seldom gleams; In those clear lakes of Michigan, with surface smooth as glass. I've taken many hundred pounds of black and speckled bass. In the muddy Mississippi, as her murky watsy rolls ' Of the buffalo and catfish I have taken many tolls; I've caught the whirling tuna off the Catalina shore. * Where the waves of blue Pacific beat with never ending roar, And on the broad Atlantic, armed with gaff-hook, reel and rod. I've caught the darting mackerel, the blue fish and the cod. In the great gulf of Mexico, so turbulent and dark. I've caught the leaping tarpon, the king fish and the shark. Since then I’ve landed many fish, with the help of my two pards. Whose weight was told In hundreds and whose length was told in yards— But no fish ever took the bait, and no fish ever will. That caused my heart to palpitate, or gave me such a thrill; No fish that swims the deep blue sea can cause my face to glow, Like that first little shiner, caught full fifty years ago. clothcraft clothes People Are Always Interested In looking over goods which they know they will soon have to buy.

KRAFT & SON GROCERIES * . COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Regular meeting of the common ' council of the village of Nashville, Mich., held October 8, 1917, and called to order by W. J. L^bhauser, president. Present: .• Zuschnltt, Barker, Remington and Ma.tens; absent, Tuttt* and Bullis. Petition of the Red Cross society referred to the finance committee. Request of Farmers’ Co-Opera­ tive Creamery read: Moved by Barker, supported by Zuschnltt that the Farmers* Co-Op­ erative Creamery bo allowed to place scales In front 'of their office on Church st.eet to a grade estab­ lished by the village. Carried. Moved by Remington, supported by Martens, that Eugene Scott be granted a license to operate a card and pool room. Carried. . On motion the following bills were allowed: Pittsburgh Meter Co., meter covers, 317.56; Detroit Lead Pipe Works, road boxes, 33.48; Frank Russell, Sept, saL, 375; W. J. Sherman Co., 3200.; Nashville News printing, 38.45; Dell Cazier, street work, >10.75; J. Hummel, street work, 350.25; D. Casler, street work, 37.25; L. P. Edmonds, park work, 318.00; O. D. Freeman, sprink­ ling streets, 372.00; Wm. Woodard, street work, 360; Ansel Klnne, building catch basins, 35.50; C. L. Glasgow, plumbing and supplies, 3286.92. Carried to adjourn. William J. Llebhauser, President. F. K. Nelson, Clerk. Dahlhauser prevailed on his son Charlie to dispose of a lot of pet rab­ bits which he had had for some time past, and Charlie added a five-spot to his bank account thereby, but Charlie's mother felt so badly over seeing the pets go- that Phil promis­ ed her some new pets. So he and Peck Wenger took a pair of twin calves which they had bought, and staked them out in the back yard after night, and in the morning Phil took the missus out to see her new pets. Well, they were the skinniest, awkwardest, most homely things imaginable, and when Mrs. Phil got her eye on them she flew the track. The upshot of it was that Phil duck­ ed and stayed ducked, pending the subsiding ot the storm'. Whether he has been home yet or not we don’t know, but we understand he sneak­ ed the calves away under the cover of darkness. There's surely no show for Ed Mc­ Neil getting Into the Royal Order of Lillies of the Field. He has not only done his regular work of look­ ing after the Michigan Central crossing on Main street for the past several weeks, but he has had gen­ eral supervision of all the traffic at that end of town and has prevented all sorts of mix-ups while the street has been torn up. We know the watchword just now is "economy,” but we think it would be a graceful act for the common council to show some little recognition of his cour­ tesy and care in looking after the welfare of the travellers while con­ ditions have been so bad at that end of the street. Gee! But Those Bricks Are Hard. The old adage "Pride goeth be­ fore a fall” proves true again.

He said he was an American on a tramp: then, rising, he was be­ ginning to descend the declivity when one of the officers asked him where be was going. “To Paris," was the answer. “I hope you’ll succeed In doing so.” was the reply. “We've been trying to get there for a year and haven't ac­ complished the feat yet" The American started down the de­ clivity. “See here, my man. do you want to walk straight to your deathF “How can 1 walk to my death going down into that quiet countryF “What’s the matter with you?

Wotring THEREXALl STORE Monday, October 15th, designated by Governor Sleeper as Patriotic Day for promoting the floating of the Second Liberty Loan, was observ­ ed in Nashville with an enthusiastic mass meeting at the opera house in the evening, and a very interesting program. In keeping with the oc­ casion, was carried out. Hon. Caroll F. Sweet of Grand Rapids was the speaker of the evening. At about eight o'clock the marital band and Nashville State troops form­ ed in line on Main street and march­ ed to the opera house, where a large crowd had already assembled, and chairman H. C. Glasner took charge of the program. The entertainment opened with a song by the high school Girls' Glee club. The assembly then sang the first two verses of ■■America," the last verse being rend­ ered by title L’veta McKinnls. kneel­ ing in suppHance to the-Goddess of Liberty, in a very prety tableau. This was followed by two charming solos by Miss Pauline Kunz, and songs by the girls and boys of the grammar grades and the' high school Boys’ Glee club. The curtain was then raised on another tableau which brought home most forcibly the need of giving our whole-hearted support to the boys who have gone forth to uphold the honor of the nation. It was a hospital scene, portraying sur­ geon, nurse, and a wounded soldier. Mr. Sweet was then called to the platform and he explained In detail the new issue of Liberty Bonds and the necessity of subscribing for them freely. Solicitors passing through the crowd with application blanks dis­ posed ut several thousand dollars’ worth at the meeting and also re­ ceived pledges for considerable more. This gives the committee an excel­ lent start In their campaign tor the sale of Castleton's allotment, which is about $60,000. Plans have been perfected to cover the township thor­ oughly In a house to house canvass before the end of next week. ISAAC BROOKS PASSES AWAY’. Monday noon occurred the death of Isaac Brooks, one of Nashville's oldest pioneer citizens, from pneu­ monia..at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Montle Matteson in Kalamo where he had been taken about a week ago. Mr. Brooks had reached the ripe and golden age of 86 years. 4 months and 20 days. "Uncle Ike”, as he was more familiarly known to the people of Nashville, was of a kind, cheerful and generous disposition, and will be greatly mjssed by his large acquaint­ ance. He was born May 25. 1831, .at Syracuse. N. Y., where he spent his early life. In 184 8 he came to Michigan and settled In Maple Grove township.and had, with the excep­ tion of- a few years, made Nashville and vicinity his home ever since. During the civil war, when the call for volunteers went forth, he enlist­ ed In the 28th Michigan Volunteer Infantry, and served his country un/til peace was declared. Mr. Brooks was married four times. The companion of his first choice was Miss Harriett Mayo, but after her demise he was later mar­ ried to Miss Diana Wolf. His third marriage was with Miss Deborah Irish, and the maiden name of his last wife was Miss Ann Brace. To the latter union was born one daugh­ ter, who died after reaching mature years. The deceased leaves one sister, Mrs. Ruhama Matteson, of Kalamo, besides several nephews fand nieces to mourn his departure. ’ The funeral services were held yes­ terday from the Wilcox church at 1 o’clock and interment made in the Quaker cemetery iiT^Maple Grove. Rev. Geo. Ylnger officiated. PAVING ABOUT COMPLETED. If the rain will but cease and good weather come again, two days will see the finish of thebrlck-laylngonthe new pavement, and Saturday should see the final completion of the paving work. There still remains, to put the finishing touches on the street, the building of the sidewalks out to the curb, but that can not be done until □ext spring, after the Citizens tele­ phone cables are laid and the con­ duits for the electric light wires for the proposed boulevard lights, which It is hoped to install another year. Main street was thrown open yes­ terday to Include the Maple street in­ tersection. The Sherman street in­ tersection will be opened for traffic Friday and it is expected that by Sat­ urday morning the street can be opened as far south as the alley north of the Wolcott house, and the section between Quaker brook bridge and the railroad. Nashville may well be proud of the new perement. for it will Com­ pare favorably with that of any of the neighboring oities and villages. Mr. Marsman has done us a good Job, and one which all of the people of the village will be proud of for many years to come. We feel like paying full Justice to the contractors, for we believe it Is the concensus of opinion of the people who have watched the construction of the paving that they have conscientiously striven to give UB'the very best work of which they are capable. Y ES, THEY' JUMPED. W’e remember an old song of our boyhood days, which started out "The train Is coming tfround the bend.” The song was illustrated Friday morning for the benefit of Harold Hess and his crew of section men. They were Just crossing the river bridge, west of Vermontville, when they saw the west-bound train [rounding the curve toward them. They had no time to stop the car and I pull it off the track, but they did have time to Jump, and that's what they did. Some of the boys declare they were still In the air when the engine struck the hand-car, com­ pletely demolishing it. Their diaper pails went with it and their tools, some of which they found and pome they dlda't.' They have a new hand­ car now, and they hope a new lease of .life. ' W. L. C. The year’s work for the Woman's club opened auspiciously Oct. 9. President’s Day. The members voted to do all the Red Cross work possible at meetings. Program op­ ened with a beautiful duet. "Octoiber," sung by Mrs. Elsie FiirnUs and Mrs. Maude Wotring. Mrs. Ger­ trude Martens played “Thp Maiden's Prayer." Mrs. Greene sang "Abide with Me." and responded to encore. The annual address of the president, Mrs. Daisy Townsend, was full of ideas for service in this time of na­ tional need. Refreshments were omitted for patriotic reasons, the saving of wheat and sugar. The second meeting of the year was held at the Community House Tuesday, Oct. 16. It was National Jay. with Mrs. Ellen Andrews as chairman. Members responded to roll call with the name of an Amer­ ican statesman. The subject for discussion was "Our Country—Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow." Mrs. Fern Cross with the subject "Yesterday." told in a very interest­ ing way of the first homes, and the beginnings and growth of many of our industries and ended by reciting a very fitting poem. "Today” was given by Mrs. Maude Glasner. Her paper was very unique. !♦ being a collection of poem*, by our present writers, herself in­ cluded. in which the condition and sentiment of our. country at the pres­ ent time was expressed in a beauti­ ful way. The last and most difficult divi­ sion was presented by Mrs. Libble Marshall in a very capable manner. Although claiming no prophetic abili­ ty she said the principals of democra­ cy for which our forefathers fought and died must live: that we would, because of this crucial time, be a more united people: that we would awake to the great possibilities of our resources and that our advance­ ment would surpass anything of the past. Three young ladies from Jhe high school, the Misses Margaret and Hel­ en Pratt and Marlon Sprague, en­ tertained the club with music on the piano, violin and cello. They res­ ponded to an encore. The club adjourned to meet In two week for Flag Day. FAREWELL SURPRISE PARTY1. ‘ Most happily surprised was Mrs. Mary Gardner Tuesday noon when she returned from town to find her home occupied by twenty neighbors and friends who had gathered there during her absence to give her a fare­ well reception. Mrs. Gardner, who is one of the old pioneers of the vicin­ ity, is soon to move to her new home In Nashville, after spending the past 4 5 years on ^the farm which she re­ cently sold. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner came to Castleton 45 years ago last April and located on the farm which Mrs. Gardner is now leaving. The country was then comparatively new. and they cleared much of the farm from its timber, improving the land and erecting^a fine farm home and other good buildings. Mr. Gardner passed away several years ago, but Mrs. Gardner continued to reside on the farm until the present time. When Mrs. Gardner was ushered Into the house she found the parlor decorated with yellow and white crepe streamers and yellow autumn leaves, while the dining room was gorgeous in red and white crepe streamers and red autumn leaves. A bountpous pot luck dinner was served, after which the afternoon was spent in visiting. A little re­ minder was left Mrs. Gardner in the form of a sum of silver, and the hearty best wishes of the entire com­ munity go with Mrs. Gardner to her new home at Nashville.—From our Dayton Corners Correspondent.

You have watched, with a swelling heart, your boys and their comrades march proudly away to do their bit in the war to save civilization and preserve liberty. ‘ Your one great regret is that you cannot go with them; your most fer­ vent hope and prayer is that they may return safely, and victorious. Here is the Purpose of the 2nd Liberty Loan The purpose of the Second Liberty Loan is to help make victory and to save the lives of our sons. e The money you pay for Liberty Bonds buys food, clothing, guns and ammunition for the boys you now see marching away. They cannot fight without arms and equipment; liberally these needs are supplied the sooner the war more American soldiers will come home in safety. more quickly and be over—and The bond you buy will help buy these necessities, the war. It may save a precious life. will help shorten Your Part Is Merely to Lend Money Those stalwart lads you s*e marching past with smiles on their lips and high courage in their hearts are ready to lay down their lives for their country. Their country—YOUR couhiry.—simply asks you to LEND your money to help our soldiers win the war, to aid in arming and feeding and clothing them, to protect them as they fight YOUR battles. This is a Duty, a solemn, sacred Duty, which MUST be performed. It is a Duty which falls upon all of us, rich or poor, according to Our means and our ability. ***• The war is now a fact, an American fact. We are in it. We are in it to stay. We are in it to win it. We MUST win it. Our sons must come back to us crowned with a glorious victory. Our country must be safe­ guarded from disasters whose gravity we have only recently begun to realise. The world must be purged, purified, and made free. ' ■ This Page Donated by C. M.

The Safest Investment in the World Bear in mind that you are not asked to give anything. Liberty Bonds are an investment. The principal is safe, and you are paid interest for thfe use of your money. These bonds are the safest investment in the world because the United States of America, with all its tremendous resources, stands behind them. If the United States endures, your bonds are safe. If the United States does not endure, you lose everything you possess. And we are in this war to make sure that the United States DOES endure. When you buy Liberty Bonds you are helping to fight YOUR war and protect YOUR interests. Your interests and your country’s are one and in­ separable. ’ \ • Liberty Bonds Are Easy to Buy The Second Liberty Loan is now open for subscription. Liberty Bonds are easy to buy. Your bank, any bank, will take your subscription without any fee or charge for services, and hold the bonds for you after they are issued. You can buy Liberty Bonds on partial payments, only a Dollar Down on each bond, if you wish. Thrift is a good habit. Liberty Bonds are a good investment. ■ Begin now to save money by every possible economy and sacrifice. Buy all the Liberty Bonds you can.

Every person in Nashville and vicinity who is troubled with any form of foot ailment is cordially invited to call at our store Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 24-25 F. L. Richardson, foot specialist, has been engaged by us to give a demon­ stration of Dr. Scholl’s Orthopedic Appliances and Foot Specialties. These ap­ pliances and preparations represent the best that has been gleaned in an extensive and successful experience or many years.

What matters It then, if a fellow does have his trousers neatly pressed and his shoes freshly polished, if, when strolling down the boulevard one of his white garters slips down around his foot just as a couple of his most chhrming lady friends appear in the offing? And under like cir­ cumstances, would you duck around the most con ven ent corner, or would you face the music? And if you stood your ground like a battle-scarred veteran and made the best of It, and one of your fair friends offered to fix It for you, would you let her do it?

This New Car is 50 Pounds Lighter There’s a marvel of engineering for you, friends! The car is made bigger and stronger—and yet actually lighter. This means greater ease and comfort on the road.

Brown a co, ---------------------------------- <> She circled the segment of bay, climb­ ed a low, rocky point and found her­ self a seat on a fallen tree. Outside the lake heaved uneasily, still dotted with whitecaps whipped' up by the southerly gale. At her feet surge after surge hammered the gravelly shore Far through the woods behind her the wind whistled and hummed among swaying tops of giant fir and cedar. There was a heady freshness in that rollicking wind, an odor resinous and pungent mingled with that elusive smell of green growing stuff along the shore. Beginning where she sat, tree trunks rose in Immense brown pillars, running back in great forest naves, shadow} always, floored with green moss lnfd in a rich, soft carpet for the wood sprites' feet. Far beyond the long grad­ ual lower slope lifted a range of saw backed mountains, the sanctuary of wild goat and bear, and across tho roll­ ing lake lifted other mountains sheer from the water's edge, peaks rising above timber line in majestic contour, their pinnacle crests grazing the clouds that scudded before the south wind. Beauty? Yes. A wild, imposing grandeur that stirred some responsive chord in her. If one only could live amid such surrounding with a content­ ed mind, she thought, the wilderness would have compensations of ItH own.

Sufficient, however, unto the day was the evil thereof, she told her­ self at last, and tried to make that as­ surance work a change of heart.

CONSTIPATION is caused by weak, 11 abby bowels that leave residues in the system instead of expelling them naturally and regu­ larly. Too much stress cannot be laid on the warning to get rid of constipationatoi.ce It generally is the cause and accompanies all disturbances of the stomach, liver and bowels and many skin diseases.

Brown’s Laxative Cascara tablets regulate the bowels and clear the complexion. INDIGESTION. While this disease in itself cannot be said to be deadly, it will, if not attended to, lead up to very serious complications, and produce most direful results.

You reason “Suppose I put this money into Liberty Bonds and later find that I need it to help me through the winter.

Then, if you find that you need the money within the next twelve months, you can have 102 per cent in trade at these stores, your regular trading places, for all you wish to bring. Nobody Questions the Value of the Bonds Personally we believe that Uncle Sam will put the deciding blows into this war within twelve months, and the Liberty Bonds will be worth MORE THAN PAR IN CASH; He surely will do it if we all do our part. For Those of You Who Trade in Nashville This advertisement should settle the question of convertibility. To our customers, at least, a Liberty Bond is worth more than cash.

He sidled up confidentially to one of the hunters and remarked "I know where every rabbit on this farm Is.” The hunt­ er, anxiously waiting for a glimpse at a rabbit which the dogs ware hot after, paid no attention to him. After a lapse of about five minutes, the lad spoke up again, this time with vigor and decision, “Yes, by G— I do, and I want ’em, too." The hunters took the hint and left, but they had many a good laugh over the lad's diplom­ acy afterward.

Roy Wolf's automobile got a bad scare one night last week. Roy and his folks and Ed McNeil’s folks, had been over in Kalamo, and on their way home Roy got out to fix some­ thing about the car and missed, his extra tlrw off the back of the machine. He turned around and drove back, hoping to find it, and had gone but a little ways when the ear balked and tried to jump sideways out of the road. Ed McNeil was about as scared as the car was for what lined up in front of them was an awful ap­ parition, looking like a big ghost with a white horse-collar about its neck. A closer investigation, how­ ever, after the car- had been qubit d down and Ed had recovered from his scare, developed the fact that the strange apparition was in reality ol’ R. B. Hayes Tieche, leading his horse, which was hauling a buggy 1 aded to overflowing with young Tieches, and what had created the ghostly appear­ ance was that Tieche had found and picked up the missing tire and was wearing it around his neck like a rosary. Roy finally got his gasoline steed mulcted down and headed to­ ward nome again, but it was still nervous when he out it in the garage and hasn't fully recovered yet from the shock. home of Mr. and Mrs. Clift Tarbell. -The Clover Leaf club met with Mrs. C.

Food Administration,under Mr. Hoover's direction, will put on their plan for food conservation in the whole nation beginning Mon­ day, October 29, and continuing for that week. Above are the committees for Bar­ ry county*. In each township there will be one committee woman, and the wards, in Hastings will be sub­ divided with a woman in charge of each subdivision. Please remember this is a United States matter, backed by the .govern­ ment. Each school district commitee wo­ man and each ward district commit­ tee woman will next week visit every home in her district and present three cards: » (1) A pledge card for the house­ wife to sign, pledging herself to carry out the Hoover food saving plan. The district subcommittee woman will take the signed pledge cards, and when her canvass of the district is completed, she will return them to the township committeeman for that township. (2) She will leave in every home an Instruction Card, telling the house­ wife why the campaign is necessary and how to carry out the Hoover plan in her own home. (3) A window card to be put In the window of the home to show that that home is carrying out the nat'onal food saving plan. When the district committee wo­ man comes to your home, please show her every courtesy, and remem­ ber she is doing what your govern­ ment asked her to do. WHAT IS THE SZCURITT? Q. A United States Govern­ ment bond is frequently spoken of as "best security in the world." Why is this true? A. Because the promise to pay a Government bond Is backed by the faith and honor of the United States of America and by the tax­ ing power of this whole country, which.is the richest nation in the world. Q. Has ths United States Issued failed to pay all of its bonds when they become due? bonds before, and has never failed due with all the Interest on sane.

Fyfe’s reputation, rather vividly colored, had reached her from various sources. She was not quite sure whether ahe cared to coun­ tenance hUu or not.

Charlie,", she said to him. "It isn’t for you to Bay what you will or will not permit me to do. I want that money of mine that you used and what 1've‘earned. God knows I have earned it. I can't stand this work, and I don't Intend to. It isn't work; it's slavery." “But what can you do in town?” be countered. “You haven’t the least idea what you'd be going up against. 8tell. You've never been away from home, and you've never had the least training at anything useful. You'd be on your uppers in no time at all You wouldn't have a ghost of a chance." "I have such a splendid chance here." she retorted ironically. "If I could get in any position where I'd be more likely to die of sheer stagnation, to say nothing of dirty drudgery, than in ibis forsaken bole I’d like to know iow. I don't think it’s possible.” "You could be a whole lot worse off 14 you only knew it," Benton returned grumpily. "If you haven’t got any sense about things, I have.

Having made her request and having met with this, to her. amazing refusal, Stella sat dumb. There was too fine a streak in ber to break out in recrimination. She was too proud to ary. SO that she went to bed iu a ferment of helpless rage. Virtually she was a prisoner, as much so as If Charlie had kidnaped her and held her so by brute force: The economic restraint was all potent. Without money she could nut even leave tbe camp. and when she contemplated the dull- treadmill be­ fore her she shuddered. At least she could go on strike. Her round cheek flushed with the bitterest anger she had ever known.

It was not lu her to act like a petulant child. Morning also brought a different aspect to things, for Charlie told her while he helped prepare breakfast that he was going to take bis crew and repay in labor the help Jack Fyfe had given him. "While we’re there Jack's cook will feed all hands," said he. "And by the time we're through there I’ll have things fixed so it won’t be such bard going for you here. Do you want to go along to Jack's camp?" “No,” she answered shortly, "I don’t I would much prefer to get away from this lake altogether, as I told you last night" "You might as well forget that no­ tion,” he said stubbornly. "I’ve got a little pride in the matter. I don't want my sister drudging at the only kind of work she’d be able to earn a living at” "You're perfectly willing to have me drudge here," ahe flashed back. "That's different" be defended. "And it's only tem;>orary. I'll be making real money before long. You'll get your share if you’ll have a little pa­ tience and put your shoulder to the wheel.

I don’t want you to hand me an easy living on a silver salver. All I want of you is what is mine and the priv­ ilege of using my own judgment. I’m quite capable of taking care of myself.” If there had beep opportunity to en­ large on that theme they might have come to another verbal clash, but Ben­ ton never lost sight of his primary ob­ ject. The getting of breakfast and putting hli men about their work promptly was of more importance to him than Stella's grievance. So the incipient storm dwindled to a sullen mood on her part. Breakfast over, Benton loaded men and tools alwiard a scow bitched beside .'he boat- He re­ peated bls invitation, and Stella re­ fused, with a sarcastic reflection on the company *be would l>e compelled to keep there. The Chlckamln, with her tow, drew off, and she was alone again. “Marooned cure more.” Stella said to beraelf when the little steamboat slipped behind the first jutting point. "Ob, if 1 could just be a man for awhile!" Some time during the next forenoon she went southerly along the lake shore >n foot without object or destination, merely to satisfy in some measure the restless craving for action. When she returned to camp at 2 o’clock, driven In by hunger. Jack Fyfe sat on the doorstep.' . "How de do? I’ve come to bring you over to my place," be announced quite casually. "Thanks. I’ve already declined one pressing Invitation to that effect." Stel­ la returned dryly. His matter of fact assurance rather nettled her. "A woman always has the privilege of changing her mind.” Fyfe smiled.. “Charlie Is going to be at my camp for at least three weeks. It’ll rain soon, and the days'll be pretty gray and dreary and lonesome. You might as well pack your war bag and come along." She stood uncertainly. Her tongue held ready a blunt refusal, but she did not utter it, and she did not know why. “I haven't bad any lunch,” ahe tem­ porized. "Have you?” He shook his head. “I rowed over here before 12. Thought I’d get you back to camp In time for dinner. You know," he*said, with a twinkle in his blue eyes, "a logger never eats anything but a meal. A lunch to us is a snack that you put in your pocket. I guess we lack tone out here. Wo haven't got past the breakfast-dlnner-suppgr stage yet. Too busy making the country fit to live in." "You have a tremendous job in hand,” she observed. "Oh, maybe," he laughed. “All in the way you look at it. Suits some of us. Well, if we get to my camp before 8 (be cook might feed us. Come on. You’ll to bating yoorsoit If you stay here alone till Charlie's through.” Why not? Thus she parleyed with herself, one half of ber minded to stand upon ber dignity, the other part of her urging acquiescence in his wish that was almost a command. She was tempted to refuse just to see what he would do. but she reconsidered that. Without any logical foundation for the feeling, she was shy of pitting ber will against Jack Fyfe’s. Hitherto quite J sure of herself, schooled In self pussesslon, It was a new and disturbing ex­ perience to come in contact with that subtle, analysis defying quality which carries the possessor thereof straight to his or her goal over all opposition, which Indeed many times stifles all op­ position. Force of character, overmas­ tering personality, emanation of sheer will, she could not say in what terms it should be described. Whatever It was, Jack Fyfe had it It existed, a factor to be reckoned with when one dealt with him. For within twenty minutes she bad packed a suit case full of clothes and was embarked in his rowboat. He sent the lightly built craft easily through the water witty regular, effort­ less strokes.

These women and children had subsisted for over two years on the eggs and flesh of the sea one cocoanut per week divided among the eleven persons. They had no means of catching the flsh in deep water and as those in the lagoon wpre unfit for food the inhabitants of the water were safe. 0*3ing to the prevailing circumstances nearly all of the children, especially the younger ones; seemed stunted, al­ though all were in as good health as could be xepected. ' During the trip to the mainland the women were given such cloth, etc. as could be obtained from the. ship's supply and with the aid of a ‘hirdy-girdy’ (small sewing machine) they managed to make themselves and the children some clothes. They were given shoes and other articles as wore obtainable. X voluntary contribution of about 1200 was giv­ en them by the officers and crew. By a very fortunate circumstance we were able to communicate with the American Consul at Salina Cruz, informing him of the passengers on board and before our arrival he had located the father of Senora de Ar­ naud. who came on board as soon as we dropped anchor on the 22nd. . To show their appreciation for ths bringing back of some of their fellow citizens who h:.d been given up as dead, the citizens of Salina Cruz en­ tertained the officers and crew of this vessel by giving a big festa in one of the large hotels ashore. (Carl Herrick, a Nashville boy who hiss been in the U. 8. Navy ser-. vice for severs) years, sends us the following article about the rescue of suffering colonists from Clipperton Island, which tale seems almost out of place in this time and age of the world. Owing to the existing cen­ sorship, it is impossible to give the name of the American man-of-war on which Mr. Herrick was serving.) Vefy few people have not at some time read of shipwrecked men spend­ ing weary months, sometimes years, on a desolate island, in some far out of the way corner of the world but the following differs from the ma­ jority of such accounts as it deals with women and children. This is a true story and will no doubt surprise a great many readers to learn that such suffering olatlons has been found almost among us. A graphical description of Clipberton Island, the scene of this story, is essential for a clear preception of how greatly these women and chil­ dren suffered. Clipperton Island lies about 700 miles off the west coast of Mexico, is about ten degrees north of the eauator and in one of the most isolat­ ed sections of the Pacific is no reg­ ular steamship lines pass near it. It is a low lagoon island and is very dangerous to navigation as it is only visible upon close approach even in SCHOOL NOTES. clear weather.

Each individual's part is so small as to seem trivial, but the total, if every one does his part, will be tremen­ dous.' The Kaiser knows in his heart that if every one of America's 100 mil­ lion souls eats a pound less wheat flour a week America will have a badly needed extra 133,000,000 bushels of wheat to ship to its Eu­ ropean allies. ' He knows that it each of us eats one-third of an ounce less of meat fats every day jre’ll have 395,000 tons of fats a year for the war. He knows that if each of us eats an ounce less meat a day we will have 4,400,000 more meat animals every year to feed our allies. He knows that if each of us eats an ounce less sugar a day we’ll have 1,185,000 tons mpre sugar a year. He knows that if we Individual Americans DO save these things, and kept contented in the fight against bls starving hordes; and that he, therefore, hasn’t a chance to win He was smart enough to realize that if his agents in this country could sneer the food saving Idea out of the Individual American’s mind, he would stand a mighty good chance DON’T LET THE KAISER TALK YOU OUT OF DOING YOUR LITTLE BIT OF FOOD CONSERVATION DUTY EVERY DAY.

The great essayist made an address against dueling, In star chamber session In proceedings against two men—one for writing and sending a challenge, the other, for de­ livering it. Bacon was then king’s at­ torney general. Samples of Ancient Days. Down to comparatively recent times every little girl worked her sampler and examples of ><vfinteenth-century work are still found and are the ob­ jects of the collector’s search. They usually contain the alphabet, the work­ er’s name, the date. Bible texts, mot­ toes and pious admonitions, the whole surrounded by an ornamental border of some conventional design. The ear­ liest sampler in existence is said to bear the date of 1643 and is in the South Kensington museum. Ix>ndon. Puzzled Youngster.

It was the first time I’d ever been alone in my life. I wasn’t a much older hand in the country than you are. Four months without hearing the sound of a human voice— stark alone.

Stella sat gazing at the slow moving panorama of the lake shore, her chin In her hand. “Thank you,” she said at last, and , very gently. Fyfe looked at ber a minute or more, a queer, half amused expression creep­ ing Into his eyes. ’ “Well," he said finally, “I might as well tell the whole truth: I've been thinking about you quite a lot lately, Miss Stella Benton, or I wouldn't have thought about you getting lonesome.” He smiled ever so faintly, a mere movement of tbe corners of his mouth, at the pink flash which rose quickly in her cheeks and then resumed bh steady pull at the oars. Except for a greater number of board shacks and a larger area of stump and top littered waste Immediately behind it. Fyfe’s headquarters, outwardly at least, differed little from her brother's camp. Jack led her to a long log structure with a shingle roof, which from Its more substantial appearance she judged to be his personal domicile A plump, smiling tromafi of forty greeted her on the threshold. Once within. Stella perceived that there was in fact, considerable difference in Mr Fyfe's habitation. There was a great stone fireplace, before which big easj chairs invited restful lounging. The floor was overlaid with thick rugs which deadened iwr footfalls. With no pretense «»f ornamental decoration the room held an air of homely com fort. "Come in here and lay off yont things." Mrs. Howe beamed on her “If I'd ’a' known you were livin’ s<> close we'd have been acquainted r week ago, though 1 ain't got right I? settled here myself. My land, these men are such clams! I never knoweil till this mornin' there was any whit* woman at this end of tbe lake besides myself.” She .showed Stella into a bedroom. It boasted au enamel washstand with tape which yielded hot and cold water, neatly curtained windows and a deep seated morris chair. Certainly Fyfe s household accommodation was far su­ perior to Charlie Benton’s. Stella 4k- . pected the xnwn’s home to be rough and ready like himself, and in a measure it was. but a comfortable sort of rough and readiness. She took off her'hat and had a critical survey of herself in a mirror, after which she had just time to brush her hair before answerlug Mrs. Howe’s call to a “cup of tet." The cup of tea resolved itself into h well cooked and well served meal, with china and linen and other unexpected table accessories which agreeably sur­ prised her. Inevitably she made com­ parisons, somewhat tinctured with nat­ ural envy. If Charlie would fix his place with a few-inch household luxurlea life in their camp would be more nearly bearable despite the long hours of disagreeable work. As It was—well, the unrelieved discomforts were begin­ ning to warp her outlook on every­ thing. Fyfe maintained his habitual sparsity of words while they ate the food Mrs. Howe brought on a tray hot from the cook's outlying domain. When they fin­ ished he rose, took np his hat and help­ ed himself to a handful of cigars from a box on the fireplace mantel. “I guess you’ll be able to put in tbe time, all right,” be remarked. “Make yourself at home.

LENTZ Soft Com for Hogs May be Fed With Good Results The condition of the corn crop this year is such that there is going to he a lot of soft corn, and since it isn’t saleable, it will be fed to hogs. As a result, there is bound to Ge a great deal of indk gestion, and the worms will have a chance to hold a reunion in every soft corn fed hog. However, if soft corn could be fed and ipdigestion prevented, it would mean a big saving to the hog raiser, and the country in Seneral. America needs every ounce of food that she can prouce, and pork is one of the most important products she has. We have foreseen the trouble that will arise from feeding soft corn and have recently installed a new scientific hog fattener and conditioner, called Avalon Farms Hog-Tone, which makes it possible to prevent this trouble. It not only is a cure for indiges­ tion, but fattens hogs unually fast on any sort of feed. We are placing it among our customers on free trial for six weeks, and the manufacturers have authorized us to sell it under a money back guarantee. C. H.

Whenever we speak of "training camps” our mind immediately di­ verts to Rockford, Houston, or some of the other camps recently estab­ lished by the government for the training of our national army. But here is a new one—a food training camp. The International Live Stock Ex­ position, which this year will be held in Chicago, from December 1st to Sth, has been designated by Food Commissioner Hoover, a “food train­ ing camp.” This means that dur­ ing the duration of the war, the In­ ternational will be in the service of the United States, and being such, everyone who possibly can should feel it his or her patriotic duty to count a visit to the show among one of the "bits” that they are doing to "help win the war.” In this age of destruction, when practically the entire world Is at war —when millibns of dollars worth of food products are being destroyed, and millions of acres of‘fertile farm lands are being laid bare in Europe —the great question that stands out foremost is the question of food: the conservation of food on the one hand and the raising of bigger crops and more live stock on the other. It has been stated that food will decide this war. The International Live Stock Ex­ position, ever since its inception eighteen years ago, has always stood for and preached the raising of more and better live stock, and this year should prove to be a “banner" year for this institution, for it should not only draw a record breaking attend­ ance. but all those who go will do so with the express purpose of getting all the good they possibly can from this great educational show. The management is putting forth every effort to make it the most suc­ cessful-show ever held from an edu­ cational standpoint, and to make it iu every way worthy, of the name given it by Mi. Hoover—"a food training camp." ASSYRIA FARMER’S* CLUB. The October meeting of the club was held at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Chapman, and they were assisted in entertaining by Mr. and Mrs. Atlas Quinn. In spite of the inclement weather and muddy roads, a large crowd gathered to partake of their hospi­ tality, and none were disappointed. Also to enjoy the fine dinner, which was followed by the usual opening exercises, business routine and pro­ gram. Instrumental numbers were given by Ilza Shepard. A fine recitation was given by Stella Tuckerman. I Ida Willison gave vocal numbers. Dr. Powers, an old acquaintance and friend, was with us and enter­ tained by giving a short history of Robert Burns, whom he claims as one of his favorite old-time poets. He quoted a number of his poems, also from the pen of Edgar Guest and Walt Mason, which proved both interesting and amusing. By request Mrs. Chapman gave one of her Irish recitations, which we always enjoy. Anna Farley and Margaret Stine gave a pleasing vocal duet stad res­ ponded to the hearty applause. ■ Mr. Ream’s paper on America's Most Vital Problem of Today was very ably handled, touching on the food and fuel situation and a few other things pertaining to our every day life, but the big problem, the vital problem in his opinion is finan­ cing and carrying on this great war. Remarks followed by a number present. The meeting closed by singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again.” • Baptist Church Notes. Last Thursday, following the Cov­ enant meeting, a surprise party in­ vaded the pastor’s home and deluged him and his family with a "Thanks­ giving Shower.” A pleasant lunch and visit were enjoyed by all. Sunday morning's subject is to be "The Feast of Pentecost, the Second Great Jewish Festival.” Friends will please note that the weeknight meetings, held each Thursday, are to be at the hour of 7:80 during the winter; but Sunday evening will remain as before, 7:00 for preaching and 6:00 for B. Y. P. U. A series of addresses on Prayer is being given by the pastor at the reg­ ular mid-week gatherings. The Sunday School is sending the pastor as their delegate to the State Sunday School convention at Detroit this week. Horses Wear Trousers. When the horses in Nice, France, are hitched to tar-spreading carts they wear trousers to protect their legs from the hot tar. A further protection for them consists of a curtain suspended between the cart end the horse. The trx.' — are what lends distinction to the horse, however. The knees are a bit boggy but the horse doesn’t seem to care. „ �liatlon. and pledge ourselves to pay the sums set opposite our individual Cole’s Hot Blast is a per­ fect hard coal heater.

Not Living. The family was moving from New York to Ohio. An old man on the train made the acquaintance of the lit­ tle girl, and when he asked her where she Jived, she replied: “We don’t live nowhere*; we're moving.” Don’t it beaten bow many mean men there are in the country? And at that one would naturally expect a newly married man to be kind and considerate toward hie bride:. F’rinstance, at the country fair' at the Community House Friday night, there was-a fancy work booth where a lot of entrancing]/ beautiful bHs of fancy work were temptingly display­ ed, and among them a lot of very ■pretty aprons. The bride naturally granted one of those aprons, but she didn't really like to suggest to her husband be buy one for her, though she was casting longing eyes in that direction. The locaj constabulary was out in force, regulating things and incidentally doing what they could to help along the sales of var­ ious articles, and they “pinched" the newly-wed and took him to the fancy work counter and impressed upon tlm the fact that he w4s expected to buy his wife an apron. .

He spotted three ears o( red corn, used in the decorations, *and bearing in mind his herd of pigs, upon which he is de­ pending for his winter’s supply of meat, he spent a quarter for three ears of corn and let his poor jrife go home apronless.

Altogether since Saturday about eighteen square miles of terri­ tory have fallen into French hands, the progress being necessarily slow owing to the uncertainty as to where the Germans will make n stand. Many point* in the line were bom­ barded by the German guns during the French advance, especially In the neighborhood of Allies, where numer­ ous mustard-gas shells somewhat de­ layed the progress of the French troops.

As a result of this caution the troops while going forward discovered a number ot traps for the. unwary.

"You hate what I say because it's the truth, and It’s humiliating to be help­ less. You think I don’t sabe? But I’m putting a weapon Into your hand.

You don’t ap­ pear to have any idea what It means for a woman to give herself up body and soul to a man she doesn't cure for. For me It would be plain selling my­ self. I haven't the least affection for you. I might even detest you." "You wouldn't," he said positively. "What makes you so sure of that?” she demanded. "It would sound conceited If I told you why,” he drawled. “Listen. We’re not gods and goddesses, we human be­ ings. We're not, after all.

They mated and raised their young and very likely faced on an average fewer problems than arise In modern marriages supposedly ordain­ ed in heaven. You'd have the one big problem solved—the lack of means to live decently, which wrecks more homes than anything else, far more than lark of love. Affection doesn't thrive on poverty. What is love?" • His voice took on a challenging note. “I don't know,” she answered absent­ ly, turning over strips of bacon with the long bandlefl fork. "There you are,” he said. “I don’t know, either. We'd start even, then, for the snke of argument No, I guess we wouldn't, either, because you're the only woman I’ve run across so far with whom I could calmly contemplate spend­ ing the rest of my life In close contact That’s a fact. To me It's a highly Im­ portant fact You don’t happen to have any such feeling about me, eh?" "No. I hadn't even thought of you in that way." Stella answered truthfully. “You want to think about me," he said calmly. "You want to think about me from every ixMsible angle, because I'm going to come back and ask you this same question every once In awhile so long as you're In reach and doing this dirty work for a thankless boss. You want to think of me as a jtossible refuge from a lot uf disagreeable things. I'd like to have you to chum with, and I’d like to have some incentive to put a big white bungalow on that old foun­ dation for us two," be smiled. “I'll never do it for myself aloue. Go on.. Take a gambling chance and marry me. Stella. Say yes, and say It now.” But she shook her head resolutely, and as Katy John enmo-dn just then Fyfe took his foot off the stove aud went out of the kitchen He threw a glance over bls shoulder at Stella, a broad smile, as if to say that he har­ bored no grudge and nursed no wound in bls vanity because she would hare none of him. Katy rang the breakfast goug. Five minutes later the tattoo of knives and Corks and spoons told of appetiua in process of appeasement. Charlie came into the kitchen in the midst of this, bearing certain unmistakable signs. His eyes were Inflamed, his cheeks still bearing the flush of liquor. His de­ meanor was that of a man suffering an Intolerable headache and correspond­ ingly short tempered. Stella barely ■poke to him. It was bad enoegh for a man to make a beast of himself with whisky, but far worse was his gam­ bling streak. Stella watched him bathe his head copiously in cold water and then scat himself at the long table trying to force food upon an aggrieved and rebellious stomach. Gradually a flood of reckless, ness welled up in her breast “For two pins I would marry Jack Fyfe," she told herself savagely. “Any­ thing would be, better than this.” CHAPTER Vlh Th* Plunge. TELLA went over that queer de­ bate a good many times In the ten days that followed. It reveal­ ed Jack Fyfo tc her In a new, inexplic­ able light at odd variance with her former conception of the man. She could not have visualized him standing with one foot on the stove front speak­ ing calmly of love and marriage If she had not seen him with her own eyes/ beard him with somewhat Incredulous ears. She had continued to endow him with the attributes of unrestrained pas­ S sion, of headlong leaping to tbe goal of his desires, of brushing aside obstacles and opposition with sheer brute force, and he bad shown unreckoned qualities of restraint, of understanding. She was not quite sure if this were guile or sensible consideration. He had put his case jogically, persuasively even. Sbe was very sure that if he had adopted emotional methods she would have been reiielled. If be had laid siege to her hand and heart in the orthodox fash­ ion she would have raised that siege in ■bort order. As it stood, in spite of her words to him, there was in her own mind a lack of finality. As she went about her daily tasks that prospect of trying a fresh fling at the world as Jock Fyfe's wife tantalized her with certain desirable features Was It worth while to play the game as she must play It for some time to come, drudge away at mean, sordid work and amid the dreariest sort of environment? At best sbe could only get away from Chhrlie's camp and be­ gin along new lines that might per­ haps be little better, that must inevit­ ably lie among strangers In a strange land. To. what end? What did she want of life, anyway? Sbe had to ad­ mit that she could not say fully and explicitly what she wanted. When she left out her material wnuts there was nothing but n nebulous craving for— what? Love, she assumed. And she could not define love, except as some incomprehensible transport of emotion which Irresistibly drew a man and a woman together, a divine fire kindled in two hearts. It was not a thing she could vouch for by personal experience. It might never touch and warm her, that divine fire. Instinct did now and then warn her that some time it would wrap her like a flame. But in the meantime life bad her in midstream of Its remorseless, drab current, sweeping her along. A foothold offered. Half a loaf, a single slice of bread even, is better than noue. Jack Fyfe did not happen in again for nearly two weeks and then only to pay a brief call, but he stole an oppor­ tunity, when Katy John was not look­ ing, to whlsjwr in Stella's ear: “Have yon been thinking about that bungalow of burs?" Sbe shook her head, and he went out quietly without another word. He neither pleaded nor urged, and jterhaps That Wai Only Ona of a Dozen Brutal Incidents. that was wisest, for in spite of herself Stella thought of him continually. He loomed always before her, a persistent, eomiielling factor. She knew at last, beyond any gtiin­ laying. that the venture tempted, large­ ly perb&ps because it contained so great an element of the unknown. To get away from this soul dwarfing round meant much. Sbe felt herself reasoning des|>erately that the frylug pan could not be worse than tbe fire ami held at least the merit of greater dignity and freedom from the twin evils of poverty and thankless domestic slavery. Wliile she considered this, pro and con, shrinking from such a step, one hour, considering It solierly the next, the days dragged jiast In wearisome se­ quence. The great depth of snow en­ sured, was added to by spasmodic flur­ ries. The frosts held. The camp seeth­ ed with the restlessness of the men. In default of the daily work that consum­ ed their superfluous energy the loggers argued and fought, drank and gambled, made “rough house” in their jdecplng quarters till sometimes Stella's cheeks blanched and she expected murder to be done. Twice tbe Chlckamln came back from Roaring Springs with whisky aboard, and a protracted debauch en­ sued. Once a drunken logger shoulder­ ed his way into the kitchen to leer un­ pleasantly at Stella and, himself in­ flamed by liquor and the affront, Char­ lie Benton beat the man until his face was a mass of bloody bruises. That was only one of a dozen brutal JnqiCenta. All tbe routine discipline of the woods seemed to have slipped out of Benton's bands. When tbe second whisky consignment struck the camp Stella stayed in her room, refusing to cook until order reigned again. Benton grumbllngly took up tho burden him­ self. With Katy’s help and that of sundry loggers he fed the roistering crew, but for his sister It was a two day period of protesting disgust That mood, like so many of her moods, relapsed into dogged endur­ ance. Sbe took up the work again when Charlie promised that no more whisky should, be allowed iu the camp. “Though it’s 10 to 1 I won't have a corporal’s guard left when I want to start work again.” he grumbled. Stella looked up at him, lheu out over “I’m well within my rights if I put my the banked snow, and all the dreary dis­ 'foot down hard on any jinks when comforts, tbe mean drudgery, the sor­ ; there’s work, but I have ho license to did shifts she* had been put to for । set myself up cs guardian of a logger’s months rose up in disheartening pha­ morals and pockett>ook when I have lanx.

To this pronouncemeht of expediency She turned and looked at him searcbStella made no rejoinder. Sbe no long­ ingly a long half minute, wondering er expected anything much of Charlie what really lay behind the blue eyes in the way of consideration.

The “International" is the stock man's school of efficiency. Never has there been a time when there was such need of efficient methods in meat production. Never has there been such need of a marshaling of all resources and all forces for produc­ tion on the farms of the United States. The “International" will impress lessons of conservation and efficiency in production of Incalculable value. These lessons will have a special sig­ nificance in view of the unusual con­ ditions now existing. No man en­ gaged in a great enterprise such as farming and food production, at a tlmo when the best results are vital to the nation's existence, can afford to fail to secure Information that will add to. efficiency and strengthen the service that he can render.

Then just when he is all puffed up with pride, thinking he Is some big red apple, fate comes along in the form of a breeze and down be comes, a windfall, with like as not a soft spot on him somewhere. Then they gather him up and cart him to the mill, elevate him into the grinder, drop him through into the press, and squeeze out the very life blood from him. And when he gives up his last penny, they chuck him in­ to the discard with the rest of the pulp, his identity lost and his sub­ stance spent, and after a few rains have soaked him a bit, they run him through the press again and make vinegar c«t of him. And about the only consolation in it all is that while he La getting all the worst of it, the worms get theirs at the same time. IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY KID­ NEYS.

By BERTRAND W. SINCLAIR Copyright, 1916. by Littls. Brown "Here’s that ninety I borrowed, Stell,' he said, “and a check for your back pay. Things have been sort of lean around here, maybe, but I still think it's a pity you couldn't have stuck it out till it came smoother. I hate to see you going away with a chronic grouch against me.” She sat on the closed Ud of her trunk, looking at the check and mon­ ey, three hundred and sixty dollars, all told. A month ago that would have spelled freedom, a chance to try her luck In less desolate fields. Well, she tried to consider the thing philosoph­ ically. It waa no use to bewail what might’ have been. In. her hands now lay the sinews of war she had foregone all need of waging. It did not occur to her to repudiate her bargain with Jack Fyfe. She had given her prom­ ise, and she considered she was bound irrevocably. Indeed, for the moment she was glad of that She was worn out, all weary with unaccustomed stress of body and mind. To her just then rest seemed the sweetest boon in the world. Any port in a storm, ex­ pressed her mood.

From , the day of their marriage Fyfe had made her a definite monthly allowance, a greater sum than alio needed or spent “As a matter erf fact," he went on. “I’m going to open an account In your name at the Royal bank so you can negotiate your own paper and pay your own bills by check.” She went In and put away the check. It wag hers, earned, all too literally, in the sweat of her brow. For all that it represented she had given service three­ fold. if ever there came a time when that hunger for independence which had been fanned to a flame Ln her brother’s kitchen should demand appeasement— she pulled herself up short when she found her mind running upon such an eventuality. Her future was ordered. She was married—ere long to become a mother. Here lay her home. All about her ties were In process of formation, ties that with time would grow strongor than any shackles of steel, constrain­ ing her to walk In certain ways—ways that were pleasant enough, certain of ease if not of definite purpose. Charlie Benton came to visit them. Strangely enough to Stella, who had never seen him on Roaring lake, at least dressed otherwise than as his log­ gers, he was sporting a natty gray suit, be was clean shaven, oxford ties on his feet, a gentleman of leisure in his garb. If he had started on the down grade the previous winter, he bore no sign of it now, for he was the picture of ruddy vigor, clear eyed, brown skin­ ned, alert, bubbling over with good spirits. "Why, say, you look like a tourist," Fyfe remarked after an appraising glance. "I’m making money, pulling ahead of the game, that’s all,” Benton retorted cheerfully. “I can afford to take a hol। iday now and then. I’m putting a mil­ lion feet a month in the water.

Stella bad met Linda Abbey once, reluctantly under the- circum­ stances, but it was different now—with the difference that money makes. She eould play hostess against an effective background, and she did so graciously. Nor was her graciousness wholly as­ sumed. After all, they were her kind of people.

His quiet, impersonal manner never suggested stolidnesa. And she was too keen an observer to overlook the fact that from a purely physical standpoint Jack Fyfe made an Impres­ sion always, particularly on women.

A good at­ tendance is desired as it is election of officers. The new traffic posts, with their ruby lights, make Main street look quite metropolitan in the evening. She sure will be some fine street when the telephone pole* are all down, pedestal lights along the way and the sidewalks completed out to the curb. Now, say! Is the village to keep the walks cleaned this winter, or is it to be done by individual house­ holders? No matter which, it is up to the village authorities to see that it is done and done right. This idea of one man's walk being kept clear ’ of snow every day during the winter and the next man's walk not being cleaned except when the weather man does it is all wrong. Hither let us have all the walks kept clean or let us get high boots for all the fami­ ly and wallow through. Many auto drivers still persist in* the dangerous practice of cutting corner* on Main strpet instead of go­ ing around the traffic posts. In the absence of an ordinance it is doubt­ ful if they equid be arrested and fin­ ed. but it is a certainty that in case of accident these drivers could bs held responsible for all damages. "Keep to the right” is a well-known rule of the road and should be ob­ served by all. You might save a couple of seconds by cutting corners, but it is liable to prove a mighty expensive deal. The coal situation in Nashville is becoming serious. The supply is practically exhausted and little en­ couragement for the near future.

Many farmers are willing to sell wood, but it is a difficult matter to get men to cut it, even at the prevailing high prices.

A party of ladies and gentlemen were skating on the Neva. A lady was standing somewhat ujairt from the oth­ ers looking at the skatem. Noticing two gentlemen go by ber la company, sbe turned to a lady standing near and asked who they were. She was in­ formed that oue’ of them .was a grand duke,K the other Count Demidoff. At the mention of the latter name the in­ quirer started. Her Informant noticed it and asked the cause, whereupon the other said something which Interested the bearer greatly. "i am Mme. Garotsky,” the latter said. "1 know the count very w®11If you will permit 1 will arrange a meeting between you and him.’’ The next day Count Demidoff re­ ceived an Invitation to dinner with Mme. Garotsky to meet a friend .of hers from one of the provinces. He accepted the invitation, and’ the mo­ ment he laid •’eyes-on a guest to whom be was.introduced as Mme.-g’etroff he was struck with ber beauty. Not only that; he was delighted with her intelli­ gence. After the dinner Mme. Garotsky pleaded an Indisposition and. retiring to her room, left ber two guests to­ gether. , The count passed a delightful even­ ing. Before taking his departure be bad confessed that be was a married man. but was not living with his wife. Indeed, be bad been married by proxy and bad never seen his wife. He be­ longed to a very old family; his title dating back many centuries, and would have had the entree to the court circle bad he the means to associate with persons who spent money like water. He had advertised for some rich com­ moner who would marry him and turn over -to him a portion of her estate in lieu of being permitted to assume bls rank. It was to -be a mere commer­ cial transaction, the two separating as soon as the marriage ceremony had been performed. His advertisement met the eye of a young widow who had inherited a large fortune from her husband, a very rich manufac­ turer much older than herself, who had died soon after their marriage. She offered a large slice of ber estate for the privilege of being a countess, and. since neither expressed a wish to see the other and the widow lived in a re­ mote province, they were married by proxy. Mme. Petroff listened to this story, and the count fancied that be saw a sigh, which he attributed, to the fact that be was a married man. Indeed, be had been captivated by the lady and was saddened at the thought that a marriage between him and her was Impossible. However, when they part­ ed be took ber address in the city and the very next day called upon her. Mme. Petroff remained tn Petrograd some time and gave the count every encouragement to be with her. They drove together, skated together, and Demidoff secured Invitations for her One day he told her that he loved ber and would be only too glad to marry her were It not for the Insurmountable objection that kept them apart Notwithstanding the fact of that ob­ jection, when Mme. Pett-off returned to her home she Invited Count Dcmldoff to visit her there. He scarcely under stood this, for sbe bad given him evi­ dence of being a good woman, and if she could be anything more than a friend to him It could only be a wife. and to be bls wife was hppowdble. He was loath to go. feeling that since ho could not possess her he was only sinking deeper in misery. He laid sounded her on the matter of a pty-’jdble return of the fortune be had re­ ceived from bis wife and a dlvon-e But sbe had declared that on u» ac­ count would sbe marry a divorced nnm. When the count entered the plu< e wherein Mme. Petroff lived be was as tonlabed at its magnlficanee. On vn terIng the bouse be found every lux ury.

Every day the hostess « «<u trlved new methods of |Jaasing the time agreeably. One thing surprbed the count—there were no other guests except himself. Moreover, all the serv­ ants seemed to be acting as If they bad been trained to a part. When they said "Yes. ma da me.” sometimes they got It "Yes. Mme. Petroff." and at all times they appeared to be saying what the simple creatures were not need to saying. One evening a lackey who was sent io summon the count for din­ ner said: "The countess awaits your excel­ lency." “The countess!" exclaimed Demid off. "I mean Mme, Petroff," said the poor fellow, covered with confusion. "There Is something concealed heea." said the count half aloud to hlmaetf and went down to his hostess. < ' "Countess." he said, "may I take you In to dinner?” •‘Wbatf’ exclaimed the hostess. "Yon bkve got my secret?" "I have.” replied the count making a gigantic bluff. “And you know that 1 am your wife. the Countess Demidoff?*' It was the count’s turn to be as­ tonished. "You my wife—you. the provincial with whom I exchanged my title for a portion- of your fortune?" "Then you did not know"“But I know now." And. springing forward, he caught her In bls arms.

A Close Call and a New* Acquaintance. WITH the recurrence of spring Fyfe's household transferred it­ self to the Roaring lake bunga­ low again. Stella found 'the change ■ welcome, for Vancouver wearied her. It was n little t< o crude, too much ns yet in the transitory stage, in that civ­ ic hobbledehoy period which overtakes every village that shoots up overswiftly to a city’s dimensions. So she was quite a« well pleased when a mild April saw them domiciled at home again. In addition to Sam Foo and Fend Shu, there wns a nurse ■for Jack junior. Stella did not sug­ gest that; Fyfe insisted on It. He was quite proud of his boy, but be did not want her chained to her baby. . So. apart from voluntary service on behalf of Jack junior, she was free as of old to order her days as she pleased. Yet that small morsel of humanity de­ manded much of her time, because she released ‘hrough the maternal flood­ gates a part of that passionate longing to bestow; love where her heart willed. Sometimes she took issue with herself over that wayward tendency. By all the rules of the game she should have loved ber husband. He was like n rock, solid, enduring, patient, kind and generous. He stood to her in the most intimate relation that can exist be­ tween a man and a woman. But she never fooled herself. Sbe never had eo far us Jack Fyfe was concerned. She liked him, but that was all. He was good to her, and she was gratefulNevertheless she find recurring peri­ ods when moodiness and 111 stifled dis­ content got bold of her. Sometimes she stole out along the cliffs to sit on a mossy boulder, staring with absent eyes at tbe distant bilk, and sometimes she would slip out in a canoe to lie rocking in tbe lake swell, just dream­ ing, filled with a passive sort of re­ gret She could not change things now. but sbe could not help wishing she could. Fyfe warned her once about getting offshore in the canoe. Roaring lake, bent in the shape of a boomerang be­ tween two mountain ranges, was sub­ ject to squalls. Sudden bursts of wind would shoot down its length like blasts from some monster funnel. Stella knew that Sbe had seen the glassy surface torn Into whitecaps in tea min­ utes. but nshe was not afraid of the lake nor the lake winds. Sbe was hard and strong. The open, the clean mountain air nnd a measure of activ­ ity had built her up physically. She swam like a seat Out in that sixteen foot canoe she could detach her­ self from ber world of reality, lie back on a cushion and lose herself staring at the sky. She paid little heed to Fyfe's warning beyond a smiling as­ surance that she had no intention of courting a watery end. Bo one day in mld-July she wared a farewell to Jack junior, crowing in his nurse's lap on the bank, paddled out past the first point to the north and, pillowing her bead on a cushioned thwart, gave herself up to dreamy con­ templation of (h<_gky. There was scarce a ripple on the lake. A faint breath, of an offshore breeze fanned her, drifting tbe canoe at a snail's pace W. A. Vance, D. D. 8. Office in the Nashville club block.

According to some authorities there Is only one locality in the world where the finest kind of opals are found. It le the Dubnylk mine, near Cserwenitxa, in Hungary. At any rate, opals have been taken from that mine for many centuries. The ancient writers speak at opals coming from India, but the precious variety is not now found there, whatever may have been the ease in the past United States Has No “Penny.” The habit of calling the one-cent piece of our American coinage a “pen­ ny" is utterly without foundation or excuse. We have no penny In our coinage. At one time half-cent pieces were coined but now the unit is one eent, the hundredth part of a dollar. out from land. Stella luxuriated in the quiet afternoon. A f>arty of camp­ ers cruising the lake had tarried at.tbe bungalow till after midnight Jack Fyfe had risen at dawn to depart for some distant logging point. Stella, once wakened, had risen and break­ fasted with him. Sbe was tired, drowsy, content to lie there in pure physical relaxation. Lying so, before she was aware of it, her eyes closed. Sbe wakened with a start at a cold touch of moisture on her face—rain, great pattering drops. Overhead an ominously black cloud hid the face of the sun. The shore, when sbe looked, lay a mile and a half abeam. To the north and between ber and tbe land's rocky line was a darkening of the lake's surface. Stella reached for her (Middle. Tbe black cloud let fall long, gray streamers of rain. There was scarcely a stirring of the air, but that did not deceive her. There was a grow­ ing chm. and there was that broken line sweeping down the lake. Behind that was wind, a summer gale, the black squall dreadvd by the Siwasbss. She had td buck.her way to shore through that. She drove hard on tbe paddle. She was not afraid, but there rose In ber a peculiar1 tens.-d tip feel­ ing. Ahead lay a ticklish bit of busi­ ness. The sixteen foot canoe dwarfed to pitiful - dimensions Id the face of that snarling line of wind harried.wa­ ter.’ She could hear tbe distant mur­ mur of It presently, and gusty puffs of wind began to strike her. Then It swept up to ber. 8 ripple, a < hop and very close behind that tbe short, steep. Uke combers with a wind tlrnt blew off the tops as each, wave head broke in white, bubbling froth. Immediately she began to lose ground. She had expected that, and It did hot alarm ber. If she could keep tbe ca­ noe bow on there was an even chance that tbe squall .would blow itself out in half an hour. But keeping the ca­ noe Ik>w on proved a task for’ stoqt arms. The wind would catch all that forward part which thrust clear as she tapped a sea and twist it aside, tchdlng always to throw her broadside into the trough. Spray began to splash aboard. Tbe seas were so short anil sleep .that the canoe would rise over the crest of a tall one and dip its bow drop in the next, or leap clear to strike with- n slap that made Stella's heart jump. She had never undergone quite that rough and tumble experi­ ence hi a small craft. She was being beaten farther out nnd down the lake, and ber a pus wore growing tired. Nor was there any slackening of* the wind The combined rain and slaps of sprat soaked her thoroughly. A puddle gath­ ered about ber knees in tbe bilge, slosh­ ing fore and aft as tbe craft pitched killing tbe natural buoyancy of the canoe, ao that she dove herder. Stella took a chance, ceased jmddllng nnd bailed with a small can. Sbe got n tossing that made her head swim while she lay In the trough. And when she tried to head up into It again one comber bigger than Its fellows reared up and slapped a ban-el of water In board. The next wave swamped her. Sunk to the clamps. Stella'held fast to tbe top sides, crouching on her knees. Immersed to the hips Id water that struck a chill through her flesh. She bad the wit to remember and act upon Jack Fyfe’s coaching—namely, to sit tight and hang on. No sea that ever ran can sink a canoe. Wood Is buoy­ ant So long as she could hold on the submerged craft would keep her head and shoulders above water. But It was numbing and cold. Fed by glacial streams, Roaring lake is icy In hottest midsummer. What with paddling nnd bailing and the excitement of the struggle, Stella had wasted no time gazing about for other boats. She knew that If any one at the camp saw her rescue would be apeedily effected. Now, bolding fast and sitting quiet, sbe looked eagerly about as the swamped canoe rose logglly on each wave. Almost immediate­ ly she was heartened by seeing distinct­ ly some sort of craft plunging through the blow. She had not long to wait after that, for the approaching launch ♦was a lean lined speeder, powerfully engined, and she was being forced. Stella supposed It was one of the Abbey runabouts. Even with her teeth chat­ tering and numbness fastening itself upon her she shivered at the chances the man was taking. It was no sea for a speed boat to smash into at thirty miles an hour. She saw it shoot off the top of one wave and disappear In a white burst of spray, slash through the next and bury itself deep again, flinging a foamy cloud far to port and starboard. Stella cried futilely to-the man to slow down. Sbe could hang on a long time yet, but her voice carried no distance. After that she had not long to wait In four minutes the runabout was with­ in a hundred yards, open exhausts cracking like a machine gun. And then the very thing she expected nd dread­ ed came about Every moment she ex­ pected to see him drive bows under and go down. Here and there at intervals uplifted a comber taller than its fel­ lows, atanding, just as it broke, like a green wall. Into one such hoary head­ ed sea the white boat dow drove like a lance. Stella saw the spray leag like a cascade, saw the solid green curl deep over the forward deck and engine hatch and smash the low wind shield, ^he heard the glass crack. Immediately the roaring exhausts died. Amid the wbUt. tie of tbe wind and the murmur of broken water tbe launch staggered like a drunken man and lurched off into the trough, deep down by the head with tbe weight of water ahe had taken. . The man in ber stood up with hands cupped over hla mouth. . “Gan you hang on awhile longer," he shouted, “till I can get my boat balled?" “I'm all right," sbe called back. She saw him heave up the engine hatch. For a minute or two he bailed rapidly. Then he spun the engine with­ out result. He straightened up at last, stood Irresolute a second and peeled off bls coat. The launch lay heavily Id the trough. The canoe, rising and clinging on the crest of each wave, was carried for­ ward a few feet at a time, taking tbe run of the sea faster than the disabled motorboat So now only a hundred odd feet separated them, but they could come no nearer, for the canoe was abeam and slowly drifting past Stella saw the man stoop and stand up with a coll of line tn his hand. Then she gasped, for be slepjied on the coam­ ing nnd plunged overboard in a beau­ tiful, arching dive. A second later bis head showed glistening above the gray­ water, and be swam toward ber with n slow overhand stroke. It acemcd an age, although the actual time was brief enough, before be reached her. ‘ Siu saw then that there whs method in bis -madness, for the line strung out behind him, fast to a'cleat on tbe launch. He laid bold of the canoe nnd rested a few seconds, panting, smiling .broadly at her.. "Sorry that whopping wave put me out of commission," be said at last. “I’d have bad yon ashore by now. Hang on for a minute.", He made the Hue fast to n thwart near the bow. Holding fast with one hand, he drew the swamped canoe up to the launch. Id that continuous roll it was no easy task to get Stella aboard, but they managed it, and presently ahe Ha Laid Hold of the Canoa and Rested a Faw Seconds, Panting. sat shivering in the cockpit watching the man spill tbe water out of the canoe till it roue buoyantly again. Then be went to work at his engine methodically, wiping dry tbe Ignition terminals and all the various connec­ tions where moisture could effect a short circuit At tbe end of a few min­ utes ho turned the starting crank. The multiple cylinders fired with a roar. He moved back behind the wrecked wind shield where the steering gear stood. “Well, Miss Shipwrecked Mariner," said be lightly, “where do you wish to be landed?" “Over there, if you please. Stella pointed to where the red roof of tbe bungalow stood out against the green. “I’m Mrs. Fyfe.” “Ab I" said he. An expression of veil­ ed surprise flashed across his face. •'Another potential romance strangled at birth. You know, I hoped you were some local maiden before whom I could pose as a heroic rescuer. Such is life. Odd too. Linda Abbey—I'm the Mono­ han tall to the Abbey business kite, you see—impressed me as pilot for a spin this afternoon and backed out at the last moment I think she smelled this blpw. So I went out for a ride by my­ self. I was glowering at that new house through a glass when I spied you out In the thick of it" He had the clutch In now, and the launch was cleaving the seas, even at half sjieed throwing out wide wings of spray. Some of this the wind brought across the cockpit "Come up into this seat,” Monoban commanded. “I don't suppose you can get any wetter, but if you put your feet through this bulk­ head door the beat from the engine will warm you. By Jove, you're fairly shivering.”. “It’s lucky for me you happened along," Stella remarked when she was ensconced behind the bulkbead “I was getting so cold. I don't know how much longer I could have stood it" “Thank the good glasses that picked you out You w^re' only a speck on the water, you know, p-ben I sighted you first" He kept silent after that All his faculties were centered on the seas ahead which rolled up before the sharp cutwater of the launch. He was mak­ ing time and still trying to avoid board­ ing seas. When a big one lifted ahead he slowed down. He kept one hand on the throttle control, whistling under bis breath disconnected snatches of song. Stella studied his profile, clean cut as a cameo and wholly pleasing. He was almost as big bodied as Jack Fyfe and full four Inches taller. The wet shirt clinging close to his body out­ lined well knit shoulders, ropy muscled arms. He could easily have posed for a viking, so strikingly blond was be. with fair, curly hair. She judged that be might be around thirty, yet his face was altogether boyish. , While Stella sat there, drawn faced with the cold, the launch slipped Into the quiet nook of Cougar bay and slow­ ed down to tbe float Monohan helped ber out threw off the canoe’s painter and climbed back Into tbe launch. “You’re as wet as I am," Stella said. “Won’t you come up to the house and get a change of clothes? I haven't even thanked you." “Nothing to be thanked for," he smiled up at her. “Only please re­ member not to get offshore In a canoe again. 1 mightn’t be handy the next time, and Roaring lake’s fickle as your charming sex—all smiles one minute, storming the next. No, I won't stay this time, thanks. A little wet won't hurt me. I wasn't in the water long enough to get chilled, you know. I’ll be home in half an hour. Run along and get dressed, Mrs. Fyfe and drink something hot to drive that chill away. Goodby." Stella went up to the bouse, her hand tingllhg with his parting grip. Over and above the peril ahe had escaped rose an uneasy vision of a greater peril to ber peace of mind. The platitudes of soul affinity, of Irresistible magnetic attraction, of love that leaped full blown Into reality at tbe touch of a hand or tbe glance of an eye. she bad always viewed with distrust, bolding them the weaknesses of weak, volatile natures. But there was something about this man which had stirred her. nothing that be said or did, merely some elusive, personal attribute. Sin- had never undergone any such experi­ ence. and she puzzled over It now. A chance stranger, and his touch could make ber pulse leap. It filled her with astonished dismay. . • Afterward, dry clad end warm, sib ting In her pet.chair,' Jack junior coo­ ing at her from a nest among-cushion* on tbe floor, tbe natural reaction set In. and she laughed at therself. When Fyfe came home she told him lightly of her rescue.' • He said nothing at first, only sat drumming on bjs chair arm. bis eygs steady on her. “That might have cost you your life," he said at last. “Will you remember not to drift offshore again?" ' “I. rather think 1 shall,” sbe respond­ ed. “It Wasn’t a pleasant experience." “Monohau. eh?" he remarked after another interval. "So he's on Roaring lake again.” “Do you know him?" ahe asked. “Yes," he replied briefly. For a minute or so longer be sat there, his face wearing Its habitual Impassiveness; then be got up, kissed her with a queer sort of intensity and went out. Stella gazed after him, mild­ ly surprised. It wasn't quite tn his usual manner. ■’ -wt WONT WIN ff WE WASTE" £ Tested Wartime Recipes FOR USE IN MICHIGAN To the Housewives of Michigan: The following recipes have been prw xared ana tested at the Michigan Agri­ cultural College under the supervision of Dean Georgia L.

BROWN »:»h»»i:h It is not too Early and it is much easier to start your We had hoped to be able to give this week the good news that Castle­ ton township had gone "over the top” in her portion of the drive for membership in the Barry County Loyalty League, but many of the ^canvassers haw been handicapped by pressure of business and other matters and have not yet completed their work. The portion ‘of the work which has been completed and the reports banded in show that up to the present time a little more than tgro-thlrds of Castleton's apportion­ ment has been subscribed. Castletleton township, including Nashville, Is asked to raise $300 per month, and we will do It, although It is by no means an easy task. ■ Many who could well afford to give have not yet signified their willingness to subscribe to the fund, while others "have given but a small portion of what they could easily do. This is not skid In a spirit of carping criti­ cism, but in the hope that thqse peo­ ple will study the situation more thoroughly and make up their minds to chip in a little more freely In or­ der that Castleton may not lack her full share of the responsibility of looking after the welfare and com­ fort of the boys who are sacrificing so much for their country. Many have cheerfully given all they could afford to give, some perhaps more than they felt they really could, but they are giving It in the right spirit, the spirit that will win the war. We urge upon all those .who have not yet completed canvassing their territory that they lay aside other matters so far as possible and com­ plete their canvass. It 1h hoped that no one will be skipped by the canvassers, but it is easy to do. and If there are any persons In the town­ ship or In thq village who have not yet been given an opportunity of becoming a member of the Barry County Loyalty League we aak them to see some member of the commit­ tee and get their names down. It is probable that acting under the advice of the organizers of the league, the nfimes of the members alone will be published, without making public the amounts of their subscriptions. This step is taken In order that no one's feelings may be hurt because , their subscription does not show up as large as that of their neighbor who Tnay be bettei able to give.’ There Is no intention or desire to stir up dissensions or animosities in connection with the organization of the league, and for that reason there will be no publi­ cation.of the names of those who de­ cline to join the league or contribute toward Its funds, but it Is the sincere hope of the promoters of the organ­ ization that eventually every citizen of the county will be convinced that It -Is his duty to become a member and to contribute to the extent of his ability. Barry county should be AWunit in its loyalty to the gov­ ernment and its unstinting support of the Y. M. C. A., the Red Cross, and the great work they are doing. AUCTION HALES. W. A.

They took possesrion and spent a most enjoyable evening. Eighteen sat down to a splendid repast, to which they paid their best respects and all were per­ fectly satisfied.

Hen- is‘a Splendid Plan for Helping Finance the War. December first the plan of selling war certificates authorized by Con­ gress went into effect. You can go to the postoffice and In vest/as small an amount as 25 cents, by buying a "thrift stamp." which although not paying interest, will be convertible at all times into a war savings Certi­ ficate when 16 of them, plus 12 cents, are exchanged for one of these cer­ tificates. This will be true from Dec. 1. 1917. until Feb. 1. 1918. after which the price will rise at the rate of a cent a month. The par value of these war savings certificates will be $5.00 but they will be sold at a discount equal to the accumulating interest compound­ ed quarterly at 4 per cent to January 1. 1923. These bonds can therefore be bought for $4.12 each, up to Febru­ ary 1, 1918, after which the price will rise one cent a month. Sixteen thrift stamps plus 12 cents, will buy a war savings stamp during the next two months, and this stamp will be good for $5.00 by Jan. 1. 1923. In the same way twenty savings stamps, the present value of which is $82.40 will buy a certificate that will bring $100 at the end of five years. It will be seen that this plan will nable the small investor to help the rovernment finance the war and at he same time make a good invest­ ment for himself. MAKING HEAVY SHIPMENTS. The Nashville Co-Operative Shipners Association is breaking all rec­ ords this fall for amounts of ship­ ments. ' Each Saturday they have about all the stock they can accom­ modate at the Nashville yards, and one wonders where it all comes from and it there will be "any left for seed.” The business for November alone to­ taled the surprising amount of near­ ly $55,000. The association is grow­ ing. stock coming from farther dis­ tance each month for shipment. BROTHERHOOD. Monday night is thy time for that aggregation of men at the Communi­ ty House. Every man in Nashville is invited. It is to be a broad, helpful Institution. A speaker in the Ann Arbor extension course is being secured for an address.

The vain per­ son finds it in display, the de­ praved person in dissipation, but the person of good com­ mon sense finds it in the solid comfort and good cheer of himself and his family. The chief feature of this cheer is a tempting Christmas dinner. When you get ready to pre­ pare it, come to us for “the makins.” For instance— AU kinds oY fruit for salads; vegetables, such as cabbage, bagas, onions, celery, lettuce, and Nectar canned goods. Mince meat for the pie that makes your dinner a success, and nuts, figs, and dates, pic­ kles and olives. Of this line we always choose the very best that money can buy and you make no mistake when you order from us. For your drinks you must have good tea, coffee and cocoa. You are assured of these when you order Uji tea, Morning Cup coffee and Rona’s Dutch cocoa. For the older class we are also prepared— Be Sensible Make your presents of the useful nature— buy warm underwear, hose, night shirts, night dresses: buy your poor friend a sack of flour or a pound of tea or coffee—get them useful pres­ ents, they will appreciate them more, and get more good out of them. Dry Goods Silk hose, wool hose, bath towels, under­ skirts, house dresses, aprons, bed spreads, bed blankets. What makes a nicer present than a pair of nice warm blankets? Candies Any amount of candy. You know Christ­ mas is not a success unless you find your stock­ ing full of candy. We have a large line of mo­ lasses kisses, taffy, peanut crisp and chocolates. Get a pail of kisses for the kiddy, and if you haven't the kiddy, get them for some one else’s kiddy. Nuts, figs, dates, fruits of all kinds. Tobaccos Cigars and tobaccos. We always carry a large line of these and they make a very appre­ ciative present for many men. Make your Chrutmas gifts mean something. Christmas cheer need not consist of senseless extrava­ gance. We have in our stock many items that will make useful and handsome gifts. � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/20/599/NashvilleNews_1917-12-13.pdf a926a660a849dd588136f6d74b3c6759 PDF Text Text ****.

Forerunner of Christmas. The spirit of merrymaking that marks our Christmas holidays had Its Origin with the Roman feast called the Saturnalia. This was a festival in honor of Saturn, father of the gods. It lasted for a week or two, beginning about the 19th of December, and was the occasion for great revelry among all classes. No business was transact­ ed during this period, war was sus­ pended, private feuds were forgotten ar forgiven, and general good fellow­ ship reigned supreme. Friends ex­ changed presents with one another, and the slaves were waited upon by their masters and mistresses. A Wish.

His wife died at the early age of thirty-five, and the two little ■ daughters, for whom he wrote “The i Night Before Christmas," bo‘h died In their childhood. His son and name­ sake lived to the age of rfxty-elght and Is buried in the family plot When “The Night Before Christmas” was first published In the Troy Senti­ nel the editor wrote: “We do not know to whom we are Indebted for the following description j I TT THAT Is the best known poem In Vv ^e world? Not Gray’s "Ele­ gy,” nor “The Song of the Shirt," nor “The Raven," but “The Night Before Christmas." The author Is not so well known as his poem. One recent Christmas the name of Clement Clarke Moore was honored as never before. Above his grave In the chapel of Holy Trinity cemetery, New York, the choir boys sang carols on the night before Christmas, and a sen lee of light was held. This beautiful cere­ monial starts with a procession of torchbearers whose torches are kindled from the leader’s flame, and as the line winds through the graveyard the fire Is passed back from one to another un­ til the lights grow In number and dis­ pel the surrounding darkness. The father of Clement Clarke Moore was once the bishop of New York. “The Night Before Christmas” was published originally without the au­ thor’s knowledge In the Troy Sentinel two daya. before Christmas, 1823. Moore bad written It the preceding Christmas just for the delight of his own children, but Its circulation slip­ ped beyond the family circle, and an unknown friend sent It for publication. The Sentinel readers paid no attention to it, and It passed without comment until seven years later, when the same paper reprinted It The second recep­ tion was very different from the first. “A Visit From St Nicholas,” as it was then entitled, was copied broadcast, and Its author awoke to find his work, If not himself, famous. Although Clement Clarke Moore was ’ educated for the ministry, he neveri took orders. For the greater part of i his life he was identified with the New ' xorx General rheological seminary, —' Th . .. . „ bring professor of Biblical learning « or and Greek and later of oriental lan- of that unwearied patron of children, _ that bomel, but deUthtful pmodta- tlon of parental kindness, Banta Claus, his custom and Ids equipage, as be goes about visiting the firetides of this Uappy land, laden with Christmas boun­ ties, but from whomsoever It may have como we give thanks for It There Is to our apprehension a spirit of cordial goodness In It,'a playfulness as of fancy and a benevolent alacrity to enter into the feelings and promote the simple pleasures of children which are altogether charming.

It would seem that Jo­ seph was at last able to get room in acme such back portion of a house, and there, we are told, Mary bore her divine Son. A cave below the high altar of the Church of the Nativity is now ahown as the very place where thia august event transpired; a little re­ cess, shaped like a clam shell, its floor of marble wrought into a star in the center, bearing in Latin the words, ‘Tiere Jesus Christ Was Born of the Virgin Mary.” A row of lamps hangs round the outer edge, the right to attend to them be­ ing a jealously watched matter, each of the ancient churches, the Greek, the Latin, the Armenian .and the Cootie, having one or more of these under ita care.

He and hi* comrades decided that the Christmas should be honored and that there should be a plum padding. The "pudding" wat com­ pounded . of biscuit, grease and such fruit as could be ob­ tained, the ingredients being mixed in a fragment of" a Russian shell. Wrapped in a cloth, it was boiled for some hours, and a tasty reminder of the great festival was ea­ gerly looked forward to by the hungry officers. But before the pudding was considered "cooked" orders came trans­ ferring Wolseley and his tent companions to a distant part of the works. Bhould they leave the pud­ ding until their return or eat it as it was! They were hun­ gry, and the latter course was decided upon. The "pudding" was duly swallowed, and away they went in obedience tOk orders. Late that night Wolseley was troubled with internal disturbances that ne­ cessitated the doctor’s kindly ministrations. It seemed, said the future field marshal, as if pieces of Russian shell were rolling against each other inside. It was the only pedding, the first and last, he ever made. Fate of Early Poisoner*.

Indeed, than Balthasar, who is the purveyor of gifts. He is always represented as a negro, even in the pictures of the old masters, and as such he survives in Spanish legend. On the eve of the Epiphany the chil­ dren leave their shoes and boots out in some convenient spot near the chim­ ney, to find them laden with gifts in the morning. Boots, In fact, preceded the stocking everywhere, the superior advantages of the latter as a recep­ tacle having been a recent discovery. In Belgium to this day the children give their shoes an extra fine polish on Christmas eve, fill them with hay, oats or carrots for Santa Claus’ white horse and put them on tbe table or set them In the fireplace. The room is then carefully closed and the door locked. In the morning a strange thing is found to have occurred. The furniture is all turned topsy turvy, the fodder has been removed from the shoes, and In its place the good littfe children find all sorts of nice things and the bad ones only rods made of birch. In oth­ er localities baskets, dishes and wood­ en ware are made the receptacles. But the elasticity of the stocking, its adaptability and the fact that, while It preserves the individuality of the owner like a shoe, it may yet be clean­ ed and made ready for the reception of edible presents—these characteris­ tics have caused It to grow Into general favor among the juvenile votaries of Banta Claus.

It happened this way: He did some errands for the man.who kept the tobacco store in the village, and when the man would have paid him some money Bob said he’d rather have a pipe. So now they were all provided for except little Peter. How was Bob going to get hold of a real live puppy? “You go over to iny brother’s place at the foot of Long hill, and yuu tell him I sent you,” said the tobacco man “Maybe he will let you have a puppy and work it out for him on Saturdays. He has u patter route.” “I’U do it if he will!” cried Bob eagerly. Half an hour later he hurried into the woodshed with a wriggling little puppy under his coat.

But when Annie came wlth^tbe paper nap­ kin, which was all gay with holly and Christmas bells, Miss Ruth put all the mince tarts in it and gave It to Amy. “Oh, thank you so much!” repeated Amy. thinking how her mother would enjoy the tarts. "Mother sent the dress.” "My sister Is trying It on,” said Miss Beth. “Walt a moment, Amy, and I will get the money for you.” She had Just disappeared when Miss Lucy Granger came bustling through the hull. “I wonder If you would mall these little packages for me, Amy?" she said. “I nni so provoked because I have used up my Christmas seals.” “Of course I will mall lhe packages.

To her great joy Miss Lucy bought the whole twenty-five and put the money In Amy’s pocketbook, together with a bright silver quarter for herself. “I hope you will have a very happy Christmas, dear,” Miss Lucy said. The next day Amy took the Red Cross money to her teacher, and Miss , Smith told her ahe had done very well.

By early summer 2,000,000 men will have been drawn from the office, shop and farm for the army alone. The demand will be for help through the late spring, the summer and the early fall. From official figures 5,000,000 boys between six­ teen and twenty-one are capable of performing labor. It Is entirely possible with perfected organisation in every state to mobilize between 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 of theseyoung men to supply the labor shortage on farms and in shops. . It Is Impossible to tell what pro­ portion of our boyswill enter the shops and what proportion will go upon the farms. The Shope are of­ fering high wages while the farms offer relatively low wages. It is to the patriotism of our boys we- must appeal to carry them in overwhelm­ ing numbers to the farms to take care of the food supply.

Whether through relief extended to the victims of calamity or disaster, or to the sufferers from the horrors of war in the devastated countries of Europe, or to the dependent loved ones of soldiers who have gone forth to fight for our country, or to our boys in training camps both here and overseas and In the trenches at th.? front, its merciful ministrations are everywhere manifest Its appeal is universal and comes to each one of us, It matters not what our race, creed or condition. It was a happy thought that sug­ gested the Idea ot combining the spirit of the Red Cross with that ot Christmas. Both involve service and sacrifice, helpfulness and humanity Let us make this a Red Cross Christmas. There are five million members of the Red Cross in our country, —it needs fifteen million to carry on its work. Michigan has a proud place in Red Crosa activities, having five hundred thousand members. We should have at Irest three-quarters of a million, and eventually a million members. * Therefore. I, Albert E Bleeper, Governor of Michigan, hereby set aside the period from December sixteenth to December twenty fourth, inclusive, for the purposes of the Red Cross Christmas mem­ bership Campaign, and call upon all our people to lend their assist­ ance thereto by becoming members or renewing their memberships and by enrolling others In the organization. I wish also to call especial attention to tbe Red Cross. Cbristmak Ceremony on the evening before Christmas It Is to be hoped that, between the hours of sevewthlrty o'clock and nine o'clock thereof, Red Cross Christmas Candles will burn in tbe windows, that the bells in the churches may chime the haff hours, and that Christmas Carols may be sung in the streets and public places throughout the stale,—the whole a fitting close of the Christmas Membership Cam palgn and appropriate to tbe Christmas time: and I request the Mayors of all Incorporated cities in Michigan to make like proclamations to their people.

At the time this sudden attack was made upon these poor little waifs I was holding in my hands two of these same mu­ sical ' instruments, trying to decide which of the two kinds 1 would take. The larger one of the boys looked up at me with a frightened look, as If to Ray, “Oh. we didn’t mean to steal any­ thing." when I said. “Boys, would you each like one of these harmonlconsT’ They said nothing, but the look of sur­ prise (gratitude they knew nothing of) when I put one in each taiy's dirty lit­ tle hands I shall not forget to my dying day. and ^efore you could say “Jack Robinson" they were out of the store and out of sight. I turned to the young woinnn. saying,. “I will pay for them,” when I noticed the tears In her eyes. When she finally found her voice she said, “Oh, madam. I am so sorry I spoke as I did.” “Well, never mind," I said; “you didn't understand. I am the mother of two boys and know what a boy craves." When she handed me my change ami package she said. “I shall never forget this day.; it has taught me a lesson.”' Tuning Up For Christmas.

Christmas Gifts From The Woolj HE paper bl reh Is an especial treasure, but we never cut the j bark from a living tree, even j when deep In the woods, un­ less we know that the wood Is doomed to be cut at once. Too many ignorant or ’ thoughtless people do not hes­ itate to strip the beautiful papery bark from the living tree, not realizing probably that the bark is needed to protect the rnnnlng of the sap and that the outer bark, so smooth and silvery, will never renew itself. So. even if death does not Immediately follow, the beauty of the tree Is gone, said Ofny Parker Phelps in the Housekeeper. Once I found a dead tree from which I was able to slip several feet of bark in rings. This only needed to be sep­ arated into convenient sizes, fitted with tight bottoms, sewed In place by raffia or sweet grass, and lifting lids attached, to make boxes ready to fill with Christmas sweets. In making laurel wreathing or garlanding we have found that by taking small twigs and winding one on to an­ other, using light picture wire ns binding, the wreathing makes very rapidly and easily. When the white ijine cones fall we gather buahels of them. And such treasures as the cones are! In the open fire they make a glorious blaze—tit background for wonderful fire castles—and aS for kindlings they are ab­ solutely unsurpassed. Remembering that the two little cousins living on the Pacific coast once sent n par­ rel of the Western cones to a much loved poet, greatly to his delight, we tried sending a sack of cones, gayly decked with laurel, to a city friend who loves an open fire. In the very bottom was a small “chunk” with a paper bear­ ing these words’. “N. B.— This is a Yule Log.” An­ other time an armful of the cone bearing branches of the red pine were sent to a friend. But our especial Christmas gifts, the ones we send to the nearest and dearest, are our little Christmas trees. We take a day.aud go up to the mountain swamp wx»ere grew the cranberries, and there we choose wee, little shapely trees, getting them, so far as we can. from the deep shade of other trees, for these are doomed to an early death anyway. We fit each little spruce securely : to a board, covering It with moss and trailing vines. Then we deck tbe tree. Of course th* gifts must be tiny and varied to suit thtwj to whom they go.

By and by he took off his skates and went to the w.oods to cut some laurel branches. It was snowing very hard now. nnd he had to work fast, because by this time It was growing dark in the. woods.

Miss Louise, who spent most of her time in the country, studied the ways of the birds and their likings, and she knew that they are as strongly attract­ ed by bright colored things as are chil­ dren.

For one confused instant Stella stood poised, uncertain.; then she went Into her bed­ room and sat down, her keenest .sen­ sation one of sheer relief. Already in those brief hours emotion bad well nigh exhausted her. To be alone, to lie still and rest, to banish thought—that was all she desired. CHAPTER XII. In Which 'there Is a Further Clash. /"'VNE con only suffer so much. Pdlgnant feeling brings Its. own anaesthetic. When Stella Fyfe fell into a troubled sleep that night tbe storm of her emotions had beaten her sorely. Morning brought Its physical reaction. She could see things clearly and calmly enough to perceive that her love for Monohan was fraught with factors that must be taken Into ac­ count All the world loves a lover, but her world did not love lovers who kick­ ed over the conventional traces. She had made a niche for herself. There were tics sbe could not break lightly, and she was not thinking of herself alone when sbe considered that but of her husband and Jack junior, of Linda Abbey and Charlie Benton, of each and every individual whose life touched more or less directly upon her own. She came down to breakfast calmly enough. She told herself that In first seeking the line of least resistance she had manifested weakness, that since her present problem was Indirectly ‘be out­ growth of that original weakness she would be weak no more. So she tried to meet her busband as if nothing had happened, in which she succeeded out­ wardly very well Indeed, since Fyfe himself chose to Ignore any change In their mutual attitude. She busied herself about the house that forenoon, seeking deliberately a multitude of little tasks to occupy her hands and her mind. But when lunch was over she was at the end of her resources. Jack junior settled In Ids crib for a flap. Tyta went away to that area back of the camp where'arose the crash of falling trees and the labored puffing of donkey en­ gines. She could hear faint and far tbe voices of the falling gangs that She longed for some secluded place to sit and think or try to stop thinking. And without fully realising tbe direc­ tion she took she walked down past the camp, crossed tbe skid road, step­ ping lightly over main line and haul back at the donkey engineer's warning and went along the lake shore. A path wound through the belt of brush and hardwood that fringed the lake. Not until she had followed this up on the neck of a little promontory south of tbe bay did she remember with a shook that sbe was approaching the place where Monohan had begged her to meet him. She looked at her watch. Two-thirty. She sought tbe shore ’ine for Hight of a boat, wondtu- not want to make tbe effort of wander­ ing away in tbe other direction to find She moved u»> a little on the point until sbe found a mossy boulder and sat down on that, resting her chin in her palms, looking out over the placid sur­ face of the lake with somlwr eyes. And so Monohan surprised her. The knoll lay thlc| carpeted with mora. He was within a few steps of her when a twig cracking .underfoot apprised her of some one’s approach. She rose, with an Impulse to fly, to escape a meeting she had not desired. And as she rose the br^th stopped in her throat Twenty feet behind Mooohan came Jack Fyfe with his hunter’s stride, ■oundleasly over the moos, a rifle droop­ ing in the crook of his arm. A sun­ beam. striking obliquely between two firs showed her his face plainly, the faint curl of bis upper Up. Something in her look arrested Mon­ ohan. He glanced around, twisted about, froze In his tracks, his back to her. Fyfe came up. Of the three be was the coolest, the most rigorously •elf possessed. He glanced.from Mono­ han to bis wife, back to Mooohan. After that his blue eyes never left the other man’s face. , "What did I say to you yesterday?” Fyfe opened bls mouth at last.
