the recent excavation fora cellar under the north anpex of what were formerly known ae the Libby shops, near the top of Foundry Hill, diggers encountered charcoal.At first it was thrown out with the dirt, but as the quantity increased a systematic effort was made to save the \u2018\u2018find\u201d\u2019 for fuel.Beneath a strata of about a foot of soft earth covering the entire size of the building which jute into the street, was a strata of unmixed charcoal varying in thickness from six or eight inches at points where there was least, to sixteen or eighteen inches where there was most, the whole being fairly well packed by the weight above it for many years.Something like ten tous of the charcoal were reclaimed, and it ie said to burn well in an ordinary coal stove.No one now living about here remembers even a \u2018\u201cstory\u2019\u2019 which would account for this eurprising deposit.No one knows even when the old building was erected.One theory advanced is that charcoal was once burned on the spot soon after the land was cleared, and in support of this theory it is said the rem- nante of some old stakes were found in position.The location ie just a little way above the oid foundry building, and if iron casting here dates beck to a period prior to the erection of the wood shops, the coal may have belonged to the former.The JOURNAL would be glad to hear from any old reader who has any information to give on this subject.The building under which the coal was found is that portion of the shops where the late David Libby made caskets forty or fifty years ago.Some years ago the property was acquired by the late Julius Allard, Sr., and it is pow owned by his son-in-law, J.A.Roy.'

Dr.Mayo, the democratic candidate, a temperance man and a whiskey platform; P.W.Clement, the republican candidate, notoriously opposed to temperance, backed by a temperance platform.The logical disposition of existing conditions would be to bave a division of the sheep and the goats, or the drys from the wete, and have a square deal.It isn\u2019t absolutely necessary or obligatory for a man to respond to the enap of the party whip when its mandates violate his convictions.The world has juggled long enough with John Barleycorn, the greatest menace to efficiency in the world today.One candidate speaks of this as a \u201cminor issue,\u201d and that \u2018\u201cwinning the war is the great outstanding issue.\u201d The answer to such drivel is: The offspring of John Barleycorn are children of selfishness, supreme and all-ab- sorbing, and selfishness is the cause of all war, and the death of the cause can but bring permanent peace.The advocate of and for the continuation of the manufacture and sale of alcohol as a beverage, be it direct or indirect, is playing into the bande of the rapers of Belgium, Serbia, France and Russia, There can be no middle ground on this question, and at this the world\u2019s most critical hour, the man who hesitates to aid in giving the trafficits knockout blow, stands condemned by his own conscience and hie country\u2019s honor.| Controlled Heat The oven in the Kootenay Range is surrounded by an envelope of heat which is at every moment under your instantaneous control.With the Kootenay Range the heat control is so easy and accurate you can use all the heat from your fuel without waste.FOR SALE BY HORACE J.CORDEAU Successor to Hall & Cordeau MCClarys Kootenay Range London Toronto Montreal Winnipeg St.John, N.B.Calgary Hamilton Vancouver CARTER\u2019S Inks, | Paste, Mucilage, Typewriter Ribbons Try Pencraft, the new double purpose ink for office and fountain pen use Sold by The Journal Printing Co.The Royal Bank of Canada with which is amalgamated The Quebec Bank Capital Authorized - - - $ 25,000,000 Capital Paid up - - - - 14,000,000 Reserve Funds and Undivided Profits 15,000,000 Total Assets - - - 386,000,000 BANKING BY MAIL Business of all kinds can be transacted in this manner, and will receive prompt attention.SAVINGS DEPARTMENT AT EVERY BRANCH SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES TO RENT Joint Accounts may be opened in the name of two persons;

The most essential thing in setting a separator for thrashing is to get It level.Here again the thrusherman should not guess, but should have a good spirit level and use it at every setting.To do its best work the machine must he as nearly level as possible from side to side, und it is generally conceded best to have it level lengthwise, although a few inches difference in level between the front and rear ends is not likely to be detrimental.If the machine Is set on soft ground, one or two of the wheels may sink further into the ground than the others after it has been standing for a short time, and the operator, should not forget to watch this point.A very slight difference in level he- tween the two sides of the separator Will make the shafts all run against the bearings on the lower side and have u tendency to cause them to heat, It will also cause the grain constantly to work toward the low side of the separator and make it more difficult for the cleaning mechanism to do good work, Even if the machine is sot on a barn floor, it should be leveled carefully, for barn floors are rarely pre cisely level, and the weight of a separator may make it sag in weak places.The main drive belt should hang loosely over the pulleys, with just enough tension to keep it running smoothly.If jt is too tight, it will have a tendency to pull the separator out of place and will put unnecessary strain on the cylinder shaft and box- ings and possibly make them heat or pull the cylinder out of line so that the teeth will not run true.When thrashing in the open, it is well to pay attention to the direction of the wind, if there is any choice in the direction in which the machine is to be set.It is much more pleasant for the men working at the machine if it can be set so that the wind blows the dust and chaff away from them.If a steam engine 1s used, the setting should be such also that sparks will be carried away from the separator and straw stack.The separato should always be blocked solidly to prevent vibration as much as possible, and to prevent the belt from pulling the machine forward, Tt will frequently save some time if blocks of the right size and shape for this purpose are selected or prepared before the thrashing starts and carried with the machine from place to place.Wornout or broken plowshares make excellent blocks.Cylinder and Concaves.The problem of adjusting the cylinder and concaves is to get them placed in proper relation to each other, with the right number and arrangement of teeth in the concaves for the graln that is being thrashed.The adjustment should be such as thoroughly to loosen all the grain from the heads without cracking or breaking up the straw into such fine pieces that separation will be difficult.It 1s essential that the cylinder and concaves be adjusted so that each tooth is at all times equally distant from the two between which it is passing, and that the concaves be kept close enough to the cylinder that un- thrashed heads cannot get through.The first thing in adjusting the cylinder is to see that the shaft is aligned properly, that is, that one end Îs not further forward than the other.There is a constant tendency for the end of the shaft to which the main drive pulley is attached to pull forward, and at the same time force the other end back.The next step Is to take up any superfluous end play.Some provision for regulating end play is found on all machines.The space that must be left to prevent friction on the end of the shaft and consequent heating 1s from one thirty-second to one sixty- fourth of an inch, or just enough to allow the shaft to run freely.Any more play than is absolutely necessary should not be tolerated, as it allows \u2018the cylinder teeth to get close to the \u2018concave teeth on one slide and corre- .spondingly far away on the other.The ;distance between the cylinder and con- \u2018cave teeth when properly adjusted is {generally not much over an eighth of An inch.It is easily seen that a very \u2018ttle end play will cause cracking of \u2018the grain on the one side and allow uptbrashed heads to pass through on the other.For the same renson it is important that all teeth in both the cylinder and concaves be kept straight.There should, always, be wrenches in the tool box for straight.ing any which get out of line, Self-Feeders.A large majority of the thrashing |\u2019 machines of the country are now equipped with self-feeders.It is a mistake, however, to assume that because the feeding 1s done mechan- \u2018ically the feeder will always deliver the unthrashed grain to the cylinder \u2014 ep Eliminate Waste.in the proper manner when the bundles are pitched on promiscuously and at Irregular iutervals, The governor which controls the feeder should be adjusted so that it will stop feeding as quickly as possible when the speed is reduced below mnormul.By all means it should be adjusted to act more quickly than the governor on the *ngine.If a reduction in the speed of the cylinder does not stop the feeder before the engine governor acts, the speed will pick up again and the bundles will continue to move into the machine without giving the separator time to clear itself of the overload which originally reduced the speed.The bundles should he pitched on one at a time, with the heads toward the machine, and the distances be- twcen hundles should be as nearly uniform us possible, In bundle-thrushine, the center.or dividing hoard, should nearly always be used to keep the bundles from piling up into the center of the carrier.If one man on each side of the machine cannot piteh bundles in the proper manner fast enough \u201cto kcep the machine supplied, it will usually he better to supply extra piteh- ors than to have the two men pitch two or more bundles at a time without any regard to the way they fall in the conveyor.It is hard work to keep the bundles going Into the machine in a steady stream, with the heads all pointing in the right direction, but unless this is done it is impossible for the machine to do Its best Work.There is sometimes a tendency to crowd a machine to the limit and keep it overloaded most of the time.This is especially true of large custom machines.While both the operator of such a machine and the owners of the grain to be thrashed naturally are desirous of finishing each job quickly, the attempt to get as much grain as possible into the machine, combined with more or less irregular feeding which is almost sure to accompany it, will certainly result in a considerable waste of grain.The value of grain thus wasted may easily more than offset any saving In time effected by speeding up the operation of the machine beyond its normal capacity.Cleaning the Grain.The adjustment of the cleaning mechanism and the proper direction of the blast from the fan to separate the graln satisfactorily from the chaff calls for more skill on the part of the operator than anything else in connection with the operation of a thrashing machine.One of the main duties of the man in charge of the separator is to see that the grain is as nearly free as possible from chaff and weed seeds before it Is delivered from the machine.At the same time he must see that the amount which goes back In the tailings elevator to be rethrashed is kept low and that the loss occasioned by grain being carrled out of the machine and into the stack 1s eliminated as nearly as possible.The condition of the grain and the construction of different makes of machines are so variable that it is impossible to give any defl- nite rules in all cases.However, an operator who knows the function of each part of the cleaning mill; how to make all adjustments, and does everything possible to maintain the proper speed, should have no great difficulty in saving practically all the grain and cleaning Ît well at the same time, If he will examine the machine frequently to see just how much stuff each part of the cleaning mechanism ls handling and the amount and character of the tallings.The quantity of .taillngs should be small and they should contain very little plump grain and light chaff.Probably more grain Is wasted from failure to clean up at the end of a setting than from any other single cause.Just as much care should be taken in cleaning up all the unthrash- ed straw and loose grain that has accumulated around the machine as is taken with the rest of the job.Even with the best of care a considerable amount of unthrashed straw will nc- \u2018cumulate around the feeder in the course of a day's work.If the straw is very dry, considerable grain will shatter from the Reads as it is being pitched from the wagons or stacks onto the feeder.Small piles of chaff and straw which contain a certain amount of grain will accumulate at various other places around the machine, and the machine should not be stopped at the end of the job until all of this 1s pitched into the cylinder and \"carefully rethrashed.* Of course the careless thrasherman or farmer may say that the chickens \u2018or pigs will clean up whatever is left in this manner, but practically it is n total loss, and any machine which is opernted carelessly in this respect wastes a large amount of grain in a single season.INSCRIPTION ON FISH'S TAIL Mystery to Natives of Zanzibar, Though Scientists Say It ls Nothing Much Out of the Ordinary.A strange fish was recently caught at Zanzibar with- Arabic characters upon its tail.The fish was not one of a large haul, but was caught by a single fisherman, who brought it to the fish market.There it remained for some time, having no purchaser, as it was a strange fish and one that had never been seen before in those waters.Finally an Indian of the sect called \u201cMemen\u201d purchased it and, on the strange markings belpg noticed, it was taken to a widely-known Arab scholar, who, deciphered the inscription.It was afterward taken to the sultan, who also recognized the wording.\u2019 That night 3,000 rupees was offered for the fish and refused, and on the following day 5,000 rupees was refused, according to Scientific Amer- fcan.The original price pald for the fish was 5 pice (about 3 cents) and it was eventually decided to have it preserved.For this purpose it was taken to the government laboratory.where it was treated with formaline.It has since been placed on public exhibition, There are two distinct inscriptions on the tall, one on each side.On the one side it reads \u201cLailluha Illalah\u201d (\u201cThere Is no God but Allah\u201d) and on the other \u201cShani Allah\u201d (\u201cA warning sent from Allah\u201d).There is no suspicion of anything in the nature of a fake about the matter und the mystery is so compiete that no explanation of the strunge phenomenon is forthcoming.The Arabic lettering is perfectly plain and the discovery hus caused wondernient throughout the Mohammedan community of Zanzibar.It was identified as holucanthus semicirculatus, Cuv.et Val, a widely distributed Indo-Pacific species chaetontidace, An authority on zoology considers the markings as falling within the limits of normal variation of the species, EXERCISE OF WILL NEEDED No Reason Why Women Should Not Obtain a Maximum of Physical Strength and Power.Women can obtain greater physical strength and power so soon as they determine to do so, and adopt a different mode of living.There is absolutely nothing in the woman's organization that forbids it, as we are finding out more and more daily.Many young women are too lazy to grow strong.They cannot walk a dozen blocks, or do anything that calls for the slightest physical strength, Why?Because there is any inherent quality In the woman's body forbidding it?Not at all.Because they never have done it.There is no other reason on earth.The women who are growing stronger mentally and physically can smile at the objectors who tell them they cannot do this or that, and answer by doing what they are accused of being incapable of doing.But the more timid and younger ones, who yet hesitate to venture into new flelds of actlvity in the face of opposition and ridicule, need the assistance of professional opinion and the encouragement of those who have gone before.\u2014Mantreal Herald.Old City of Timgad.Timgad is an ancient Roman city, forgotten and buried on the slopes of the Aures mountains.The desert winde heaped the market places and ruined streets with shifting sand; the jackals and birds of prey made the stately forum, with its crumbling columns, their haunts and hunting grounds.For centuries Timgad lay deserted and forgotten, unvisited except by occasional wandering caravans.In recent years, however, the city has been pertially restored and excavated by French architects and archeologists.The columns of the facade of the capitol have been re-erected; the sand cleared from the mosaic floors of the ruined baths, whose colors are as fresh and bright as in the old days of Roman splendor.The arch of Trajan over one of the two malin streets stands as it did in the days of the great emperor, the founder of the city.The amphitheater, typically Roman, held at least 4,000 spectators in the days when gladiatorial combats were considered respectable.Her Golden Circiet.There are several theories as to the origin of the wedding ring.Here is one of them: Before the time of mints and colnage the gold money in Egypt was made in the form of a rlug, usually worn on the finger as a convenient method of carrying and safe keeping.The men and women, therefore, had all thelr gold or wealth made Into rings, and for the majority of people these rings were no larger than the plaln gold bands of today.Thus, when the groom placed the ring on the bride's finger he meant exactly what the modern service makes him say\u2014he did actually endow his bride with all his worldly goods.Feminine Diplomacy.\u201cYes, 1

robust manhood is while life is young and the body developing.A growing child needs every possible help to conserve energy and confirm the body in vigorous health.To a developing child SCOTTS EMULSION comesgwith particular help.Thousands of the strong men and women of today were in Youth-time nourished and strengthened to withstand the inroads of disease by the consistent use of Scott\u2019s.scott & Downe, Toronto, ont HONORED HEROIC DEAD Memorial Service for Corp.A.H.Swift and Corp.G.H.Swift.An impressive memorial service was held in Centenary Methodist Oburch Sunday afternoon in hunor of Corp.Albert A.Swift and Corp.Guy H.Montle.Palpit and choir loft were draped with Union Jacks, while the Stars and Stripes occupied a position at the right, the Tri-Color at the left of the platform, and a profusion of flowers helped in the decorative effect.In spite of a leaden sky, drizzling rain, and chilly atmosphere many people left their homes to pay final tribute to the two young men who have given their lives in freedom\u2019s cause.Both were killed in action in France\u2014 Corp.Swift on Aug.10th, Corp.Mon- tle, Aug.26th.The latter was a member of Tomifobia Lodge, No.18, I.O.O.F., and members of that organization attended the service in a body.The pastor, Rev.J.I.Hughes, conducted the service, and the principal speaker was Rev.T.A.Halpenny, now of Toronto.Canon Hepburn, rector of Christ Church, also took part.Mr.Halpenny said this community had a very definite place of its own in his mind, especially when thinking of the war, for it wae here that he passed from peace to war.Afterwards he went to a church which was very deeply in the service, but most of the boys from that congregation he had never seen, and it was not quite the same, because here he had known personally those who had gone.When from thie place word caine of one who had fallen, it was always someone he knew.The former pastor made feeling reference to the late Pte.Roy A.Telford, expressing his regrets because of inability to be here at that time.Others, too, he had known and those afflicted.The last time he remembered seeing Corp.Montle was when the church had arranged a little reception in honor of those who were leaving.The speaker had been much impressed by one sentence in a letter written after the young soldier's heroic death.It was this: \u2018\u2018He lieth resting on the crest of the bill he was trying to take.\u201d That was typical of what all our boys were doing at the front.Mr.Halpenny said the service was not a funeral but a memorial.Sadness ness was inevitable, but it was tinged with glory.The words of the text were: \u201cBe of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God.\u201d 2 Sam.10:12.This was the message which came from France.The speaker referred to the report of an officer giving an account of the blowing up of a certain section where some of our men were killed, many more being buried alive, but in the words of the officer, \u201cWe dug them out and used them over again.\u201d\u2019 There was no glory in war, but there was glory in the spirit of the men.Another incident related was that of a man lying, mortally wounded, on the floor of an old chateau, among many others who bad been carried back a short distance from the firing line.A chaplain, after removing the mud from the man\u2019s face as best be could, recognized an acquaintance.Knowing that he must be gotten out that night or remain there over the following day, the chaplain appealed to the physician in charge.When an attempt was made to move the wounded man he spoke: \u2018\u2018Here, don\u2019t touch me; take him; I cannot live long auyway,\u201d were his words.No one who knew Corp.Montle before he left this place ever thought of his leading a group of men into battle, but this he did.The glory was in the principle for which these men went, giving up everything here to do and die for the sake of humanity.Referring to a certain French soldier whose right arm had been shot away and who, when some one attempted to sympathize with him in the \u2018\u2018loss,\u201d said, \u2018\u2018I have not lost an arm, I gave it for France,\u201d the preacher said: \u2018These boys have not lost their lives; they have given them for Canada.They had died young but it was doubtful if they would have done as much had they lived to be eighty, following the ordinary walks of life.The speaker referred to the change which had come over the people of Canada.Many of the peacefully inclined were opposed to participation at the beginning of the war, but they had been brought to realize that force ruthlessly applied for wrong, must be faced by force for right, Mr, Halpenny referred to the part taken by the church, claiming that Christianity had Mudicated itself.No one had heard of the agnostic being in demand, but the gospel had brought comfort to millions.Christianity would play an even more important part among the nations of the future, and hereafter the British Empire must not have its commercial hands upon the nations it does uot attempt to evangelize.Mr.Hughes, after paying tribute to the splendid sacrifices of the two men, referred briefly to the tragic death of had longed to look into the faces of Corp.Swift who, with five others, was kilied by a stray shell.They had advanced fourteen miles in two days and the survivors were unable to get a chaplain up for the burial.The grave was dug in ao orchard, one soldier read a chapter and led in prayer.This service, the speaker thought, was more to be desired than if it had taken place in Westminster Abbey, with the Archbishop of Canterbury in charge.Mr.Hughes had not known Corp.Swift and Corp.Montle personally, but he knew two homes; he also knew the average young man who had joined the colors, and knowing that average, knew a splendid type of men.Albert Swift, always cheerful, gallant, gentle and true, was three times recommended in despatches, yet not allowing a word aboat it to come home to his parents.The measure of life was not in ite span, but in ite accomplishments.Special music was furnished by an augmented choir, supported by the College orchestra.EAST BOLTON It is with deep sorrow that we record the passing away of Mrs.Nelson Lorimer (née Edith Wing) youngest daughter of Mr.and Mrs.Jas.Wing, at the home of her brother, Raymond Wing, on Tuesday forenoon, between 8 and 9 o'clock, in the twenty-fifth year of her age.Mrs.Lorimer was taken ill on Tuesday, a week previous to her passing away.At first her case was not considered serious.A doctor was called, on his arrival pronounced it to be a serious case of Spanish influenza.Everything that possibly could be, was done by loving hands, but to no avail, and she sank rapidly until the end came.She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, and daughter Doris who is but three years of age, father, mother, one sister and six brothers, besides a large circle of friends, for Edith was of a bright and happy disposition and made many friends wherever she went, and her always welcome and pleasant person- nality will long be remembered in her home town where she was born and spent all her life excepting a few short years in Haverhill, Mass., where she married Mr.Lorimer, returning some three years ago to Bolton where she was housekeeper for her brother with whom they made their home.The taneral service was held in the Meth- odiet church of which deceased was a member, on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, her pastor, Rev.E.Darling- ton, officiating.The casket, which was covered with floral offerings so typical of the life of her whom we mourn, was borne by her six brothers, Clayton of Rock Island, Harold of Haverhill, Mass., Leslie, Raymond, Leopard, and Claude of East Bolton, with Mr.G.Robb of Knowlton as director.The floral offerings consisted of a pillow from father and mother, wreath from brothers and sister, broken circle from Mrs.Howard Stevens of Haverhill, Mass., sprays from Mrs.Young of Haverhill, Mass., Mr.and Mrs.Herbert McDougall of Magog, Mr.and Mrs.J.P.Taylor, Mr.and Mrs.Wm.Patterson, Margaret and Darcy Patterson, Mies J.C.Dun- lop, and the Ladies Aid.In the death of Mra.Lorimer we keenly realize our loss.Her devotion to her family was a bright chapter in her life, Her retiring nature led her to hide her best qualities from public gaze; in ber home her true worth was most conspicuous; always a kind person, her devotion to her family had no limit, The light of her life bas gone out, and brings darkness to the family circle.The grave was beautifully lined by hands of friends and thers we left the peaceful sleeper, and in memory keep her.Interment in the East Bolton Cemetery.Deep sympathy goes out to the bereaved husband, little daughter, parents, broth- ere, and sister in their deep trouble.Few other cases of influeñza have been reported.Several are confined to their beds with severe colds.Miss Margaret Patterson is spending a couple of weeks in Montreal and Vanleek Hill, Ont., where she went to attend the wedding of Mies Ethel Allen.Mr.Orrin Knowlton and Miss Marion Sullivan of Magog were in town on Saturday.Miss Edith Bryant has taken up her duties as teacher in Currier school.Schools in this vicinity are all olosed owing to the outbreak of Spanish influenza.Mr.Clayton Wing of Rock Island and Mr.Harold Wing of Haverhill, Mass, are in town, called here by the death of their sister.Mr.Howard Stevens returned to Haverhill, Mass., on Saturday after visiting at Mr.R.Wing's, Miss Lera Channell went to Newport on Sunday after staying a short time with her parente, Mr.and Mrs.C.L.Channell.F.J.Wilkinson, who recently returned from Western Canada, hae bought the Homer GQ.Ayer

Ontario, where their daughter Ethel was united in marriage to Mr.Willlam Tweed, both of that place.The ceremony was performed by the Rev.Mr.Hillis, pastor oft the Methodist Church, in the presence of only immediate relatives, and the vows were pledged beneath an archway of evergreens and flowers.The bride, who was unattended, was gowned in white crepe de chine over white silk, and carried a bouquet of asters and white roses.They entered the parlor to the strains of Mendels- sobn\u2019s wedding march played by Mre.R.W.Allen, eister-in-law of the bride.After the young couple had received the congratulations of their friends, a bounteous supper was served, the bride received many beautiful and useful presents, including silver, linen, and cheques.Mr.and Mrs.Tweed left amid showers of confetti and rice by train for Montreal and other pointe.On their return they will reside near Vankleek Hill, Ont.The going away gown worn by the bride was a suit of blue serge, and she wore a blue velvet hat, with white ostrich mount.GEORGEVILLE Miss Emery has closed her cottage and taken a position in Montreal for the winter.Mrs.Ives has gone to North Hatley for the winter.Dr.Gatchell of Beebe

reached alarming proportions in 8her- brooke, is now said to be more bope- ful.Four bundred cases of Spanish influenza are reported in Coaticook and public places have been closed down.BORN

CHAPTER III.The Kaiser's Dual Personality.If I had come nwuy from Germany in January, 1914, lustead of in January, 3918, and had written the impression 1 had gained of the Kaiser in the ten years 1 hud known him, what a false picture 1 would have painted of the man as he really Is! It would have been a picture of a man who in general appearance and bearing was every inch an emperor and yet who could exhibit all the courtesy, affabllity and gentleness of the most democratic gentleman, a man soft of eye und kindly in expression, 2 man of wide reading and attaînments\u2014perhaps the most versatile man in the world, a man who possessed a most alert mind, a remarkable memory and the keenest observation; a mun who was not generous in nuture and yet was at times considerate of others; a man of charming personality and umiubllity.It would have shown a man of unparalleled egotism, a man who was Impatient of correction and who would brook no opposition, There might have been in the pleture a suggestion of the dire lengths to which the man would go to have his way, but it would have Leen only a suggestion, As fur as it went, the picture would have been accurate, but it would have been sadly incomplete\u2014with all the lights worked in but lacking all the shadows.It took the war and its attendant horrors to reveal the kalser in his true colors.The war did not change his character ; it uncovered it.Early in my practice I happened to mention to the kaiser that 1 appreciated the friendliness he showed me in Invarinbly waving his hand at me us he passed my window when walking ulong the Tiergurten.\u201cIt's n good advertisement for you, Davis,\u201d he said.\u201cThe people see me waving to you and they know you must bo a good dentist or I wouldn't come to you.It will help your busl- ness!\u201d In every act, he was conscious of the public.During that period of my cureer in Berlin, he showed the utmost interest in my progress and frequently inquired how my practice was developing.- The first bill I rendered him, as I have mentioned, he doubled.On a number of subsequent occasions, he paid me more than my bill called for.These overpayments never amounted to very much, but they impressed me because they were so out of Keeping with the stinginess the Kaiser displayed in other directions.From time to time the Kkalser sent or brought me autographed pictures of himself or others.At the time of the one hundredth anniversary of Frederick the Great, he gave me u picture of that monarch.On another occasion, he presented me with a group picture of himself surrounded by his family and dogs.1 remember his bringing to me a large unframed picture in cele bration of his silver wedding.It was nbout twenty-four hy eighteen inches In size.It showed the kaiserin and himself ln a sort of cloud floating above a birdseye view of Berlin, with the palace and the cathedral dimly seen below, \u201cI don't know just what this master- plece was meant to signify, but I had it framed and placed it in my office.It evoked from a little hoy who entered the room with his mother the following astonished remark: \u201cOh, mother, look at the kaiser In heaven!\u201d \u2018A post-card pleture of the kaiser, signed by his own hand, was in his own estimation one of the most price- legs gifts he could bestow.I remember his donating one of them to an American charity bazaar In Berlin to be auctioned off.He thought that the fact that the eard came from his Imperial majesty gave it a value which could not be measured In dollars and cents, A plece of jewelry or a sum of money might have been duplicated or even excelled by a gift of similar character from any American million- alre\u2014for whose wealth the kaiser frequently expressed the utmost contempt \u2014but what could surpass the value of an autograph of the kaiser ! No doubt the royal! banquets were prepared much upon the same principle, for it was a common saying among the German aristocracy that one had better feel well before going to a banquet at the palace.1 happened to mention to the kaiser the reputation his banquets held among his people.He was not at all taken aback.\u201cThat's good I\u201d he commented.\u201cThe Germans are too fat, anyway.The majority of the people eat too much.\u201d Long after nutomobillng became more or less general, the kalser still employed a horse and carringe for ordinary travel, relying upon his free use of the rallways for longer distances, When, however, the relchstag passed a Inw compelling royalty to pay for their railroad travel, the kaiser took to automobiles.They charged him 11,000 marks, he told me, for the use of a train on one of his shooting trips, and that apparently was more than he could stand.\u201cAutos are expensive,\u201d he declared, | \u201cbut they don't cost ie that mucn I~ The kaiser speaks English with but the slightest truce of u foreign accent.His diction ls perfect.He speaks French, too, very fluently, and, I believe, Itallan.He is widely read on almost all subjects und knows the literature of England, ¥rance and Amer- : leu as well as that of Germany.Mark \u2018\u2019Fwain was one of his favorite Amer- {can authors and Longfellow his choice of Awmerlcan poets.| He prides himself on his acquain- \u2018tance with history and has little respect for the political opinions of others whose knowledge of history is less complete, .Shortly after Carnegle had donated five million marks to Germany to further world-peace, I happened to be | talking to the kaiser of American mil- \u2018Monaires and mentioned.| %0Of course, Curnegie is a nice old ; man and means well,\u201d remarked the ! kaiser, condescendingly, \u2018but he 1s totally ignorant of world history.He's Just advanced us five million for | world-peace.We uccepted it naturally, but, of course, we intend to continue our policy of maintaining our army and navy in full strength.\u201d Indeed, there is hardly any subject to which the kualser has devoted any considerable attention in which he doesn't regard himself as the final authority.As un art collector and antiquarian he claims first place and he is rather inclined to feel that second place should be left vacant, Ie aways resented very much the acquisition by American millionaires of art treasures and antiquities which their wealth enabled, them to buy, but which their limited acquaintance with history and their lack of culture and refinement made them unable to apprecinte\u2014in the kalser's estimation.Of his own taste in art little need be said.The monuments which he caused to be erected to his ancestors and thelr advisors and which adorn the Sieges Allee, the street he had opened through the Tiergarten especially for them, are at the same time a monument to the kaiser\u2019s ideas of art.They are the laughing-stock of the artistic world.They have been so frequently defaced by vandals whose artistic taste they offended that It was necessary to station policemen in the Sleges Allee to guard them.Not long ago a burglary occurred in the vicinity.The burglars were observed while at work and a startled clvillan rushed to the Sleges Allee to summon one of the officers who were known to be on guard there.\u201cIf you hurry,\u201d exclaimed the civilian, excitedly, \u201cyou can catch these burglars red-handed.\u201d \u201cI'm sorry,\u201d replied the policeman, \u201cBut I cunnot leave the statues.\u201d Realism is the kalser's Ldea of what is most desirable in dramatic art.When he put on \u201cSardanapal,\u201d a Greek tragedy in puntomime, at the Berlin opera house, he sent professors to the British museum to secure the most detailed information available regarding the costumes of the perlod.Every utensil, every article of wearing apparel, every button, every weapon, in fact, every prôperty used in the play were to be faithfully reproduced, particular pains being taken tu produce a most realistic effect in a funeral pyre scene In which a king ended his life.The kaiser sent me tickets to see It.King Edward attended the performance at the Berlin Itoyal opera and ] asked the kaiser how the king of England enjoyed it.\u201cMy gractous,\u201d the kaiser replled, unable to repress his satisfaction at the effect the pantomime had had on his royal uncle, \u201cwhy, the king was very much alarmed when the funeral pyre scene came on.He thought the whole opera house was on fire !\u201d Perhaps the kaiser\u2019s love for details might he attributed to his keen observation.Nothing, no matter how triv- 1al, escaped his attention.A couple of years hefore the war I had the emplre furniture in nry walt- Ing room reupholstered.On the very first occasion of the kalser's calling at my office after the change he noticed it, \u201cMy, my, how beautiful the chairs look I\" he exclaimed.\u201cGood enough for Napoleon himself.\u201d On another occasion, between two of the kalser's visits, I had md put up in the waiting room n new portrait of Mrs, Davis.The kalser noticed it the moment he came Into the room and made some complimentary remark about it.The kalser frequently accused the Americans of being dollar-worshipers and the English of being ruled by Mammon, but that he himself was not totally unmindful of the value and power of money was clearly revealed by the manner In which he catered to people of wealth in recent years, The richest man in Rerlin and one of the richest In Germany was a Hebrew conl magnate named Fried- lander, The kalser ennobled him and made him Von Friedlander-Fuld.Another wealthy Hobrew te whom the kalser entered was Schwabach, head of the Rlelchroeder bank, one of the strongest private banks in Germany, and he, too.was ennobled.becoming the steelmaster was Von Schwabach.\u201cA number of other wealthy Hebrews in Germany were ulso honored by the Kaiser in another way.Although he wns averse to visiting the homes of private Individuals who lacked soclal standing, he departed from his rule in thelr favor and visited their mansions ostensibly to view their art collections, but actually to tickle their vanity.Shortly after Lelshman became ambassador to Germany, the kalser called on me.\u201cYour new ambassador's dnughter Is the best looking young lady who has attended our court in many a day,\u201d he declared.\u201cHalf a dozen of my young staff officers are very anxious to marry fier.Can you tell me, Davis, whether these Lelshmuns have money?\u201d If the kalser despised the American propensity for money-making, he was certainly not averse to acquiring American dollars.He told me once that every trip the Hamburg-American liner Amerika made from New York to Hamburg resulted In transferring $150,000 from American to German pockets, and added : \u201cWe're mighty glad to get some of your American money, I can tell you.\u201d Of the kalser's versatility I had convincing evidence, In his conversations with me we usually wandered from subject to subject In the most haphazard manner, and he invariably displayed a surprising store of information on every topic we touched, and I am not vain enough to belleve that he was so anxious to make a favorable impression upon me that he prepared for these discussions in advance.Indecd, the Kaiser discussed so freely almost every subject that suggested itself that I often wondered what his advisors would have sald had they overheard our conversations.Ils reud- iness to tulk to me was undoubtedly due to a tendency he had to trust every one with whom he came in intimate contact.For a man who was apt to have so many enemies, he was less suspicious than anyone I had ever met.Ie seemed to trust every one, and his sense of security unloosened his tongue and made him more talkative, perhaps, than was always discreet, The kaiser was very fond of listening to and telling stories with a point and would frequently invite me to tell him any new one that I might have heard.Some of the stories we exchanged were more or less risque and would be out of place fn these pages, but I do not mean to intimate that there was anything very much amiss with them.They always amused him very much and he was quick to catch the point.The Kaiser\u2019s sense of humar frequently exhibited itself, He told me of a conference between representatives of all the powers regarding the selection of a king for Albania after the Balkan war.Some of those present thought the incumbent ought to be a Catholic, others insisted that a Greek Catholic was essential, still others maintained that a Mohammedan would be most logical.It seemed quite impossible to come to any agreement as to just what religion the king of Albania should profess, and the kaiser had ended the discussion, he said, with the suggestion: \u201cWell, gentlemen, if a Protestant won't do, and a Roman Catholic won't do, and n Buddhist i8 out of the question, why not select a Jew und call him Jacob the First?He'll have his throat cut, anyway, in three monthed\u201d The powers did not select a Jew, but the prince of Wied, the kalser\u2019s nominee, was put on the throne, and within a month or two afterwards had to flee for his Ife.In referring to Roosevelt's patriotic affer to lead an army in France, the kaiser declared that he admired him for his courage and zeal.\u201cI hear,\u201d he sald, \u201cthat he i8 now on his way to Italy.It is tao bad we did not postpone our offensive there, Per haps we might have captured him.Wouldn't Teddy look funny in a gas mask?\u201d Shortly after the U-boat Deutsch- land made tts successful trip to America, the Kaiser called on me, and he wns in a very jocular frame of mind.I happened to mention to him that I planned to go to America the following summer In connection with the porce lain tooth I had patented.\u201cWell, it won't be necessary now, Davis,\u201d he commented.\u201cWe can send the Deutschland over and bring back a hoatload of teeth!\u201d \u201cFix my teeth well, Davis,\u201d he declared on another occasion, \u201cso that I can bite.There are lots of people I would like to bite!\u201d and he snapped his jaws together in a way that would have boded 111 for the victims he had in mind, although his remark was evi dently more facetious than vicious.The courtesy and affability which the kaiser almost invariably displayed in his relations with me did not prevent him on one occasion from show- Ing his indignation when I touched him upon what was evidently a very sore point\u2014the part that America was going to play in the war, although he always claimed to be unperturbed about the American situation, He had pointed out that America at that time had only 30,000 men tn France and he belleved that the U- boats would effectively prevent any great addition to our forces ahroad, if, indeed, they ever left our shores, \u201cAs a matter of fact, however,\u201d he added, \u201cyour countrymen would be very willing, no doubt, to fight for thelr country to protect it from Invasion, but I don't believe you'll ever get many of them to leave home to fight abroad.America will really be a very small factor in the war, Davis!\" \u201cYour majesty 1s underestimating the power of America!\u201d I replied.He turned to me indignantly, and In Continued on page seven.og PTE SE LISE = Ae® Lustrous Finish for Wood Work and Flocs: PUT into your home the cheerful appearance that onl :

$2,700,000 a year in clear money, over and above All the revenue received from the traffic.Mr.Kelso presents the following statement : Policing 354 cltles and towns.$3,178,400 Judges and

by figures that 59 per cent of the arrests made were for drunken ness.Therefore he charges up half the cost of the police to liquor.For the courts he deducts the fines they have collected from their cost and then takes 70 per cent of the total spent on criminal cases as the cost of liquor.He asserts that 65 per cent of those lodged In jail, excepting tramps and vagrants, as in the case of the courts, got there through drink.So he takes one-half of the cost of the jalls and the houses of correction.In like manner he goes through the entire list.\u2014Chlcago Her- eld.18 NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION AN INVASION OF THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS?Arguing that a vast majority of the people esteem alcoholic beverages essential to their health and happiness, the liquor interests are saying that the government has no right to stop supplying the demand for them.The weak point in this charge Is that it is based upon false premises.Those who advance such argument will, of course, have to admit that the citizens of the fourteen states which have constitutional prohibition favor that policy of dealing with the drink traffic, and that as to the thirteen states dry by statute it is reasonable to suppose that the law would not have been enacted if public sentiment had been against it.In all of the remaining wet states there is sn large an element for prohibition that the question 1s constantly before the people in state, county or local elections.Be that as it may, the people of the states whose legislatures meet in 1919 will have an opportunity to give expression to thelr desire for ratification of the federal amendment through their votes for members of those leg- Islatures.Thus a vast army of people whose rights the liquorites Insist are being invaded will be amply protected.\u2014Union Signal, PROHIBITION IN LOS ANGELES NO DETRIMENT TO PROPERTY INTERESTS.Real estate in Los Angeles experienced an unexpected boom, when on April 1 the city passed under the dry regime.Before the real estate offices closed for the day, more than a score of the liquor shops were rented for other purposes, and there was a heavy demand for choice locations in the downtown section, especlally for the corners formerly used for saloons.The manager of the rental department of one large real estate firm said: \u2018Of the fifteen saloon properties listed with us we had five rented before noon and negotiations were on for the renting of five others before the close of the business day.\u201cWe could have rented a great many of the suloons a month ago had not the owners desired to hold onto them in the hope they would win their fight in the courts.\u201cThere has been very little reduction in the rents.The passing of the saloons will bring a healthy business

We know exactly what we are doing!\u201d How seriously he was mistaken in this respect has since been sufficiently proved.No matter how gloomy the outlook for Germany, the kaiser seldom showed concern, It is true that whenever things were going wrong, as when the Russians in the early part of the war were sweeping everything before them in their advance on the Carpathians, he apd the rest of the royal family kept ag far In the background as possible, whereas when the German cause was triumphant, as in the case of the offensive against Italy, he could not make himself too conspicuous at the front.But even when Germany's adversity was greatest, the kaiser always put on a brave front.At such times I have seen him stop in the street, after leaving my office, and before the hundreds of people waiting outside to greet him, ostentatiously put a cigarette in his mouth and light it, that everyone might notice how steady his hand was and how little he was worried by the turn things were taking.At the same time, on one or two oc- castons after the war started, I noticed that he acted differently when in tbe dental chair than had been his custom when everything was serene.The kaiser once boasted to me that not a building was erected in Germany, not a bridge built, not a street opened, not a park laid out, but what the project was first submitted to him.He kept posted on everything that was going on, not only in Germany, but in the world at large, and, as far as he was able, he endeavored to have his finger in every development of worldwide Importance.1 cannot imagine that he was less Interested in what his countrymen were doing in connection with the war than he was in their achievements in time of peace.If he did not actually order the sinking of the Lusitania, therefore, I am convinced that he was thoroughly aware of the plan to blow it up and sanctioned it.That he could have averted it if he hud been prompted to to do so is clearly Indicated by another incident which left a very deep impression upon me, I was Informed by one of the German aviators that plans had been made to drop gas bombs on London which contained a deadly gas which would penetrate the cellars of houses in which civilians were in the habit of hiding during air ralds.Shortly before this hideous idea was to be put into effect the papers announced that bombs of this character had been dropped by the allles on Baden-Baden, but that, fortunately, they had fallen In a clump of woods in the center of the town and had failed to explode, which had given the Germans an opportunity to take them apart and ascertain their nature, The purpose of this announcement, of course, was to forestall the storm of condemnation which the Germans knew would follow their use of the bombs on London\u2014a ruse which they had invariably employed whenever they contemplated some fresh violation af the rules of international law and the dictates of humanity.It happened that one of my patients who resided tn Baden-Baden called to see me the day after the bombs had been dropped on her town, and she told me all about tt.\u201cThe airplunes which dropped the bombs had been flying over the city all the morning,\u201d she declared.\u201cWe thought they were our own machines out for practice and pæid no particulur attention to them.Then they dropped the bombs and they landed in the woods, and we knew we had been attacked.What a dreadful thing for them to do!\u201d What a foolish thing for allied airplanes to do\u2014to spend a whole morning studying the layout of the town and then to drop those deadly bombs on a clump of woods where they could not possibly hurt anyone, and how careless of the Germans oot to molest them while they were engaged in their devilish work! But the point I wanted to bring out was this: these gas bombs were never used on London! \u201cJust as everything was In readiness for the raid,\u201d the officer told me regretfully, \u201cwe received orders direct from the kalser to hold off\u2014I saw his signature to the order.Of course, there was nothing for us to do but comply, but if we had had the kaiser there, I believe we would have strung bim up by the neck! We still have those hombs, however, and you may be sure they will yet be used!\u201d For some unknown reason the kalser stopped the use of those lethal gas bombs for the time belng.Why didn't he move to save the women and children on the Lusitania?When I went back to Berlin in the fall of 1915, after a visit to the United States, the kalser was very anxious to ascertain from me just how America felt towards the war.I told him that before the sinking of the Lusitania American opinion had been divided.There had been many who were strongly pro-ally, there had been others who were openly pro- German and there had been still others who maintained an absolutely neutral attitude.After the Lusitania tragedy, however, there had been a distinct change in public feeling, I told him, practically the whole country having become decidedly anti-German.\u201cPerhaps if the U-bont commander had known so many women and chil dren were on board.\u201d was the kaiser's only comment, \u201che might not have sent forth the torpedo which sent the vesse! to the bottom, but what he was thinking of most, of course, was the 5,000 tons of ammunition on board which were destined to slaughter my people!\u201d Of course the kalser knew that if the U-boat commander's orders were to sink the Lusitania, disobedience upon his part would have left but one course open for him: suicide.If, on the other hand, the kaiser meant to intimate that the U-boat commander sank the Lusitania on his own Initiative or without special instructions from his superlors, the fact still re- malns that the kalser could undoubtedly have prevented the tragedy and didn't.But If there can be any doubt as to the kalser's direct responsibility for the sinking of the Lusitania, certain it 1s that he fully approved, openly defended and even exulted in the murder of women and children by Zeppelin raids on London, Manchester, Liverpool and other non-military cities and towns.\u201cEngland expects to starve my women and children to death,\u201d he declared to me early in the war\u2014long before we in Germany had begun to feel the slightest effect of the diminishing food supply, \u201cbut our Zeppellns wlll give thelr women and children a taste of war, too.Confound them! They sit on their Island and try to starve us; we will give them a taste of what war is!\u201d This was the man whose various acts of consideration towards me, whose talents aud personal charms, had made such a favorable Impression upon me! How trivial and inconsequential they all seemed now! Clearly, they were all a part of the role he had been playing for years.While he was outwardly displaying all the earmarks of a gentle character, he was lnwardly plotting to dominate the world.For twenty-five years he main- talned the peace of Europe, he frequently boasted.He maintained peace Just long enough to complete his final preparations for the wickedest war that was ever waged! And yet strangely enough, even after the war had revealed the kaiser to me in his true colors and had shown him to be capable of deeds which I should have thought were forelgn to his nature, his presence always had a most remarkable effect upon me.I have a vivid mental impression of him now as I write.He Is standing In the center of my room, drawn up to his full height, his shoulders thrown back, his left hand upon the hilt of his sword and his right emphasizing his remarks, protesting in the most earnest manner that it was not he who was responsible for the war and all its horrors, but that it had come upon the world despite all he had done to prevent lt.His ready, well-chosen words entrance me, I feel that this man must be telling me the truth and I am ready to believe that before me stands the most unjustly Judged man in the world.And then he shakes my hand in farewell and is driven away, and as I gaze at the spot where he stood, there comes before my eyes the desolation of Bel- glum, the tragedy of the Lusitania, the despollation of France and Poland, the destruction of women and children In London and Paris and a thousand and one other atrocious deeds which belle the kalser\u2019s fair words, and I realize that I have been talking to the world\u2019s most finished actor and have simply been bewitched by the power of his personal magnetism, To be continued.Where it's Really Cold.Turn up your collar, thrust your hands to the bottom of your pockets and read about the \u201ccold pole\u201d of northern Siberia, where the natives speak patronizingly about Greenland\u2019s icy mountains and other such relative- Iy balmy resorts.At the town of Verkoyansk, which would probably never have had any inhabitants if the late czar\u2019s government had not sent occasional batches of exiles thither, the thermometer has been known to drop to 90 degrees below zero, which is a \u201crecord\u201d for the whole world.While the regions ahout the North and South poles of the earth are cold all the time, the Siberlan \u201ccold pole\u201d gives its inhabitants a comfortabte let-up in summer, when the thermometer frequently climbs up into the 80's above zero.During the brief summer season the life-giving rays of the sun, which remains above the horizon day and night for some time during the height of the season, exert an intensely stimulating influence upon the vegetation and the ground Is covered with flowers.How Strangers Act in New York, In nn article by a great hotel man in the American Magazine the writer says: \u201cIt has always heen of interest to me to see how differently people from other cities or countries act in New York hotels and restaurants.When a Westerner or a Southerner sits down In a New York restaurant the first thing he asks for ir seafood.Westerners are wild ahout good oysters, while the Southerner wants fresh clams.\u2018There is An interesting difference, too, about the South Americans and Westerners In New York.The West- erh man comes to the city eager for a change In food, room, atmosphere, surroundings and, in fact, everything.\u201cThe South American Spaniard is exactly the reverse.He wants his conditions at home duplicated ns nearly as possible.And because this has been impressed upon us, we have In the hotel McAlpin Spanish bell boys, clerks, telegraph operators, waîters, and last but not least, Spanish cooks.\u201d With Acknowledgments to Luke Fildes, R.A.O every home there comes a time when every thought, every hope, every prayer for the future centres on the recovery of one loved one.In that hour of anguish, every means to recovery is sought\u2014the highest medical skill, trained nurses, costly treatment.Does the price matter P It may be so great as to stagger L the imagination\u2014a sum beyond the possible.would pinch himself to relieve the sufferings of a loved one at home;

ES TRACTOR WILL LAST ABOUT EIGHT YEARS Outfit Enables Owners to Enlarge Their Farm Operations.Study Conducted by United States Department of Agriculture\u2014Used on Average Forty-Five Days Each Year.(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The average Mfe of a farm tractor is from 7% to 8 yeurs, according to estimates furnished by over 600 experienced tractor owners on representative corn-belt farms in Illinois.This Is brought out in a study conducted in 1917 and the spring of 1918 by the United States department of agriculture, à report of which is published in Farmers' Bulletin 963.The reports of the tractor owners show that the outfits are used on an average of 45 days per year, While at first glunce this may appear low, when it Is remembered that on farms where horses do all the work they afe used on un average of only about 100 days annually, it will be seen that where both horses and tractor are Tractor Drawing Double Disk Harrow, used, even though the number of horses is somewhat reduced, the machine need not be expected to have employment for as many days annual- \u2018ly as did the horses.The horses kept \u2018will do some of the work, which will, of course, decrease the amount to be done by the tractor.A considerable percentage of the 100 days\u2019 work done by horses represents odd Jobs for \u2014 me which the tractor cannot be used to advantage.Fven if the machine were to do all the work formerty done by the horses, it would not normally be employed 100 days per year, inasmuch as it does the work more rapidly.It should be borne In mind, says the bulletin, that practically all farm operations must be carried on within limited periods, and that between these seasons there will often be no field work which the tractor can do, either on the home farm or for neighbors.The fact that weather and soil condi- tlons are such as to permit fleld work with a tractor does not necessarily mean that there 1s such work to be done, Farm management plays an important part In organizing the farm so as to provide profitable employment for the tractor during as many days as possible.Such organization involves the planning of a crop rotation which will furnish a large amount of work which it can do, the elimination of as many horses as desirable, and the distribution of the work over à long period.However, the rotation should include only such crops as can be grown profitably in that particular section.The significance of the fact that n large percentage of the Tllinois farmers who reported enlarged thelr farms after buying tractors is readily apparent when the tractor\u2019s place in farm management is thus considered.Obviously these men have learned through experience that much more land per man can be handled when a tractor is used than with horses only, and that to get the most out of thelr Investment they must farm land enough to keep their tractors busy at profitable work throughout as much as possible of the available working season.\u201cSAFE FARMING\u201d IS FAVORED IN

kings, was imprisoned here in 774 by Charlemagne, It will be remembered that Charlemagne, having put aside his first wife, Desiderius\u2019 daughter, took up the quarrel of Pope Adrian 1 with the Lombard monarch, and after marching an army across the Alps, captured the erstwhile fa- ther-in-law's capital city, Ticinum, and took the vanquished ruler back to France, where he died in captivity.\u201cMontdidier 1s attractively situated on an eminence on the banks of the river Don.It is the capital of an arrondissement in the department of the Somme, and is 62 miles north of Paris by rail, and 23 miles southeast of Amiens.Its chief Industries before the war were tanneries and the manufacture of zinc-white, \u201cWhen the tides of war finally recede it is probable that the three buildings In which the citizens of Mont- didier took the greatest pride will be crumbling rulns.These are the ehurch of St.Pierre, which was built before Columbus set sail on his voyage of discovery, and which contains a tomb and font of the eleventh century; the church of St.Sepulchre, a fifteenth century edifice, and the Palals de Justice, formerly the city castle.In the last named building visitors before the war were shown six unusually handsome Brussels tapestries of the seventeenth century, These were undoubtedly removed before the Germans entered the city.\u201cMontdidier\u2019s most famous son was Parmentier, the scientist, who gave impetus to the culture of the potato in France.À statue crected here commemorates his glft to the nation.\u201cFor a number of years this little city was governed by its own lords, then passed under the dominion of the counts of Crepy and Valois.In the twelfth century it became a possession of the French crown and received a charter of liberties.In 1636 it offered a gallant and successful resistance to the Spanish invaders.\u201d Avoid Grouch and Live Long.Writing for the Minneapolls Journal, A.J.R.notes the demise of a Seattle citizen one hundred and three years old, and suggests that one of the reasons why he lived so long wus that he never grouched at the breakfast table or elsewhere, Discussing this, A, J.R.writes \u201cThe enjoyment of breakfast and of the sunrise always comes so easily to me that I sometimes wall In charlty for persons who, I have been led to helleve, start the generous day wrong by raising hades at the breakfast table.I will freely wager 75 cents that the Seattle centenarian who lived to be one hundred and three never insurged at breakfast, never complained of the food, nor sneered at his wife's cooking.\" The aged Seattler ascribed his lon- govity to his own temper; he had not been angry since he was twenty, and had driven a yoke of oxen most of his life.Also, loved everybody, and every- i body loved him.| He Hadn't Realized.©\" The custodian of an Indianapolis building recently hired a colored man, George, to work about the building.George had always worked as n \u201chouse man\u201d and came well recommended.The first day of his employment, however, George was out for lunch the greater part of three hours.The custodinn was naturally annoyed.\u201cWhere in thunder have you been?\u201d he inquired the minute he set eyes on the erring George.\u201cMe?Why, I'se been home takin\u2019 a nap,\u201d George answered, in a surprised tone, \u201cT always takes a nap in the middie of the day.\u201d © \u201cWell, believe me,\u201d the custodian de- | clnred, \u201cyou don't do that any more, \"You're needed around here.\u201d Was George aggrieved?Not a bit of it.A most appreciative grin spread over his face, \u201cWell, now,\u201d he sald slowly, \u201cyou'll have to excuse me this time, boss, It's Just that I didn't realize before how Important T is around here.\u201d Labor-Saving Marvester.One thousand improved wheat-har- vesting machines, known as combines, will be used in Washington state and other states of the Northwest this year, according to farm-help specialists of the United States department of agriculture, and will effect a great sav- tng in labor, These machines, which cut the heads from wheat and thrash the grain as they travel across the field, can be operated by two persons, and ench machine will harvest from 0 to 400 acres of wheat during a senson.They are marked labor savers over the old type combine, which required about 20 men, No Chance for the Old Man.It wns the firet time that Richard's father had seen \u201cher™ und they were talking things over.\u201cSo my son has proposed to you,\u201d he gald, \u201cand

Piece of Property.On York peninsula, in South Aus- tralin, is a wonderful lake of pure salt, says the Wide World.It is a huge depression in the earth which filis up in the winter months, In the hot summer sun the water quickly evaporates, leaving a thick deposit of almost pure salt, Seen from a distance, the surface of the lake has all the appearance of being covered with a sheet of ice.The salt crust is so thick and strong that men and even carts and plows can traverse it with perfect safety.Yet below the crust there ts a considerable body of slug- zish water.After the rays of the summer sun have played their part, the salt is gathered.It is Just raked Into heaps, and these pyramids of salt are a striking feature of the landscape.The salt fs now shoveled into carts and conveyed to varlous works on the seaboard, to undergo the process of refining.Gathering the salt is trying work on account of the great heat and the dazzling reflection.Often it in necessary for the men to wear colored glasses to protect the eyes.After the loose salt has heen collected from the surface a special kind of plow is run over It, when another harvest of the valuable material can he reaped.The yield of salt from this strange lake amounts to several thousand tons a year, and it is among the finest obtainable.The lake is several square miles In area and {8 naturally a very valuable property, Ventilate

place where it is to be stored, (6) Use smnll bins in storage yards, Best Workers Win, Today it is the man who does the most and best work who wins, whether he Is a professional or business man, The
