A novel use of the water cure is re-
ported from Evansville, Ind. A young
man of that place wished to enlist in
the navy, but upon examination was
found to lack a pound of the minimum
weight. Thereupon he went out,
drank a gallon of water, returned and
submitted to another test, which he
passed successfully, and he is now
duly enrolled amoI.g the gallant fell
aows who make our warships efficient
in war or peace. There is no use of
worrying about that young mans fu-
ture. Anyone who is SO determined to
serve his country will make a good
sailor. And he is likely to stick to the
water wagon.

WORKING BEES OVERTIME.

Honey bees are remarkable for e
capacity TO organize for the common
defense, while their intelligence gen.
orally is one of natures marvels. Yet
such is their relish for sheer work that
they appear to take kindly to an op-
pressive arrangement which has been
successfully experimental with be-
tween Loney men In Southern Califor-
MIA and in Utah. In Utah, as in all
sections where the seasons change
from hot to cold, the bees stop work
ing during the winter and doubtless,
too, many of them succumb to its rig
.ors. But Southern California. where
1t is always warm and sunny, being
conveniently at hand, the Utah honey
men have hit upon the scheme of
shipping their bees there at the APP
proach of winter, thus keeping them
busy all the year around. From n
county alone six carloads of bee colo
mics have just been shipped back to
Utah after their winter %sojourn. The
Journey is made at an expense Of less
than $3.50 a carload, and the thrifty
Utah apiarists find that it pays to
let the bees take it. Did their apti-
tude for organization enable them to
form a trade union, the bees might
some day go on strike against this in
genious arrangement and administer a
singing rebuke to the greedy apiar-
lists.

TOTAL DIFFICULTIES OF MISSING
LUMBER PRESIDENT MAY
REACH 100000.
HIS FAMILY ADMITS LOSS
Trouble Began When He Was Induced
to Invest Heavily In Texas Land
Vigorous Search 10 Made for
Missing Man.

Peoria, Ill.-Financial troubles in
ly involved, 1t Is believed, has caused
Joseph A. Proctor, president of the
Proctor Lumber company of Peoria,
descendant. of one of Peoria's Oldest
millionaire families, prominent in bust
ness, social and club life of the city,
to disappear, leaving no trace behind
which would lead to the discovery OF
his whereabouts. 1t is said he Is
mixed in debts and shortages estimat-
ed at approximately 500, 900.
His .ylatives say there will be no
loss except that sustained by the fam
lily, and had he remained at his home
his accounts would have been straight
ened out by rich relatives.
A vigorous search for Proctor Is be-
ing made. No warrants have been is
sued for, or criminal charges lodged
against the missing man.
Land Deal Cause Of Trouble.
Proctor's trouble began two years
ago., when a man named Loomis OF
Chicago persuaded him to invest in
10000 or 10000 acres Of land near Dali
hart and Texline, Tex. 1t was i'm
proved, Proctor paying the, expenses
from time to time and crops were put
in. The crops failed and the deal re-
CURED more money.
Proctor, in a desperate effort to re-
deem himself, sen good money after
bad. getting in deeper and deeper, un-
til he was so badly involved that his
relatives learned Of the p~redicament.
On Thursday morning there vas a
meeting of Proctor, his attorney,
Winslow Evans, and his brother-in-
law, Harry o. Stone, in Evans Office.
Stone persuaded Proctor to make a
clean breast of the whole affair and
promised that an attempt would be
made to extricate him.
Says He Was Going for Key.
Proctor left the office, ostensibly to
get the key to the lumber company's
s~afe-deposit box at the lumber yard.
He did not come back.
In the lumber company safe he left
his private books, which show
amounts borrowed and notes given.
1t appears that negotiable notes,
outside of those in Peoria, were dis
counted by Loomis. No record has
been found to show where they were
discounted or how. 1t is probably
Chicago institutions have a shade Of

Southern Miners object.

The miners In the southern portion
of the state object to the proposed
agreement whereby the Williamson
and Franklin county miners secure an
advance of only 2 cents instead Of 8
cents a ton. They demand the same
increase as that granted the Saline
county miners, the extra cent increase,
which will amount to about 81 to IS
q month.
In some portions of the state the
miners are granted an increase as
high as ~ cents. The miners Of
northern Illinois demand the 2 cents
additional because of the large
amount of lump coal which the oper.
ators get from the mines and because
of the low wages paid there under the
present conditions.
An objection is raised to that part
Of the compromise which requires a
miner to lay his owl metal track. The
contention is held that the operator
should pay for this improvement in
stead OF the miner.
Miners at Springfield claim If the
compromise is adopted firemen will be
put back on the old basis, under
which there was no unit of payment
for firemen, some receiving 50 a day,
while others received $2.49 or more.
A minimum wage for firemen Is de.
manded by the miners.
