crystaIIiEipE Flowers.

The process of crystallizing flowers is simple and can be satisfactorily ac- complished by any one who has artis- tic skin. Arrange some basket forms of any desired pattern with pliable copper wire and wrap them with gauss. Into these tie to the bottom Yioleta, ferns, geranium leaves-in fact, any flowers except full blown rosas-and sink them in solution of alum of one pound to gallon of wa ter. Wait until the solution has cool ed, as the colors will then be pre- served in their original beauty, and the crystallized alum will hold them faster than when formed in hot sOlu- ton. When you have light covering of crystals that completely envelops the articles, remove cheerfully and allow it to drip twelve hours. These baskets make a unique ornament and long preserve their freshness.

UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS
Are Underpaid, According to Pay
master Dodge.

Washington, Oct. e. The report
of Francis A. S. Dodge, the p2ymsster
of the army, for the past fiscal year
points out that the enlisted men have
now every chance to put away money
from their own savings by the deposit
system, which guarantees them absolute
safety. During the year the amount
deposited by the men was S1,531 ,020,
making the total amount since the
establishment of the system ,$26, 294 :
1926.
The amount expended on account Of
the pay of the army during the year was
$31, ,36I, ,132.
E The last complete pay schedule for
the army was passed by Congress 35
years ago, and the report contends that
it is not sufficient for the demands of
our times. The fact that the army is
underpaid, the report adds, makes it
impossible to recruit out of such classes
as might be wiahed. That economy
has been the watchword for the army
for the last 20 years, Gen. Dodge says,
is shown by the fact that whereas the
cost per capita for officers and men in
1875 was 1925, it was during this year

unprecedented demand at top prices for
all kinds of building material, marked
freedom from industrial friction, and q
market for labor and its products ac-

SUMMARY VENGEANCE.

pie to greater Indignation and anger
than ever. A large number of men who
have been pursuing the negro, Monk
Gibson, charged with completely in the
murder of the Conditt family, have de-
clared they will cease their efforts so
long as the troops are on the scene.
Runners have been sent into the
thicket to call the other searchers from

father of the murdered family, with a
band of negroes, continues to search,
however, and, according to reports, de-
clares he will execute summary ven-

Lower Retain Prices VIII Prevail
During Coming winter for Meats,
Dairy Products and Poultry.

Washington, Sept 29.- Secretary
Wilson of the department Of agricul-
ture predicts lower retail prices during
the coming winter season for meat,
dairy products, poultry and other ne
cessities Of life. He says the relief for
the householder will come from the
enormous yields of small grain and corn
in the great grain territory Of Illinois.
Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
Heavy crops" the secretary said,
"have resulted in the return of normal
agricultural conditions in the great
producing states. The meat producers
have been losing money for the past
three years. Grain cost too much. There
was no profit in feeding, as strange as
this may seem to people who pay such
prices as we do for our meat But the
heavy grass crop of this year, in addi-
tion to the heavy corn crop and the
heavy oats crop, will all combine to
bring about normal feeding conditions.
And this means a direct influence on
horses, beef, pork, dairy products and
poultry"
