herring to the sect has jumped from 800 o 1900. and the towns have increased from the single little village of Amana 10 seven prosperous cities. At present there are West Amend. South Amana. High Amana. East Amana. Homestead. Middle Amana and the original village.
 When the settlement was first made. 1S.g00 acres were purchased by the soci- ety. and now it is recorded that the or ganization owns 3o.000 acres. and its property is declared to be of considera- ble value.
 The system of government of the soci- ety is that of sort of commonwealth. Trustees are selected by the members. and from their number president is elected. Each family is allowed a spe- cified sum as a general account Every member of the community is obliged 10 work. and the work is graded according to his or her physical capacity. Laziness and shirking is unknown. The fore most industry of these people is asri- culture. Amana woolens. which are manufactured in inc Iowa town. have a reputation which is worldwide.
 Equality is the leading feature of com munistic life. and. despite the promi- nence which a member may have ob- tained curing his period of membership. his final resting place is marked by the same simple. undecorated headstone that is found on the graves of the others.

He Couldn't Help Being Good.

A well known preacher recently spoke at a religious service in a jail. He po- ticed that one of the convicts seemed ex- traordinarily impressed. After the ser- vice he sought him out and continued the good work by remarking:
 My dear sir. I hope you will profit by my remarks just now and become a new man"
 Indeed I will" xas the reply. In fact. I promise you that will never com- init another crime. but viii lead an ep- emplary life to my dying day

Fully 80 per cent. recover and get back into battle again. And this is not because the wounds are slight. for in some cases they are so ghastly that one mar vels that the injured soldiers lived long enough to get back home.
 The fierce hand-to-hand fighting which has marked so many of the en- eagements has resulted in many bayo- net wounds. some of most ugly char acter In one instance the bayonet in piercing the body of a captain was bro ken of as he fell. but he, by superhu- man effort. removed the ugly bit of steel and dressed his own wounds. and then waited to be removed and cared for al the hospital. Ali Japanese sol diers are taught before leaving for the front the simple methods of treating wounds. and are supplied with band ages and antiseptic dressings. so that every soldier may become his own sur seon for the time being. and undoubt- edly this timely self-help has saved many poor fellows life.
 When the trains bearing the wound ed arrive at the various cities the off cials and representative people and the schools of the place are there to wei come the heroes. and the women are active in providing every possible com fort for inc sufferers. The wives of the leading men of the various cities are devoting all their timc 10 this relief work. They are all members of the Red Cross society and wear the dress of the organization. One of the most prominent in this work is the charm ing wife of the governor of Miyagi Ken who takes in her own arms sol- diers' bundles and carries them to the waiting jinrikishas. in which the sick and wounded soldiers have been placed. Another work which these noble wom. cn behind ihc scenes are doing is that of looking after the families of the soldiers and relieving the priyations

IOWA TOWN IS UNIQUE
AMANA THE HOME OF COM
 MUNIST SETTLEMENT.
Semi-Centennial Will Be Celebrat ted Soon Organization Survives Many Privations, But Comes
 Out Successful.

Amana, Iowa. the largest communistiC settlement in the world. this year cele- brates its semicentennial, after an exist ence which for privations and hardships is unrivaled in the history of any like sect in this or foreign countries.
 In 1S42, four leaders of body known as the True InspirationiSts set sail for America. to seek a site for city which was to be the home of these people; a place where they could practice their beliefs and be free from the prosecution which their convictions forced them to undergo in Germany. The leaders, once in America, became the victims of land sharks. and purchased tract near Buff falo. where their followers settled the next year. Ebenezer, as the settlement was then known, was for the decade spent on the spot harrassed on one side by Indians and on the other by the white land snarks.
 Such conditions were not conducive to communistic life, and again the trusted four were sent to seek another home for the lnspirationistS. This time. it was specified the site must be on the further bank of the Mississippi and, with wis dom bred of ten years experience in the New York settlement, the communists decided upon the site afforded by the Iowa river in the northwestern part of Iowa county. Iowa. and in the course of a year the entire settlement had moved their belongings to the site. The town was called Amana, meaning remain true" and, despite the oft-proven truth of the assertion that there is little in a name, it seems that prosperity and hap piness has been the lot of these humble Germans !
 Communism has history which is a formidable rival of that of the Puritans There have been many attempts to estab- fish towns exclusively for these people. but as the principles of their belief give each man equal rights. and as there has been, almost without exception. some ambitious person seeking to obtain more than his share of control, the settle ments have nearly always been failures.
 With Amana it has been very differ ent. The leading lights who headed the movement were c. M. Winzenreid, John Beyer. Jacob Witmer and Friedrich Heinemann, and these men always had the best interests of their sect at heart. Since 1855, when the settlement was es- tablished the number of persons ad-
