Rome. Italy.-It is doubtful whether
the average rod and reel fisherman
who angles with flies and hooks strung
with fine translucent cat-gut is aware
of the invaluable friend he has in the
humble silkworm. The cat-gut is the
most unbreakable substance that
holds the hooks against the flercest
struggles of the struck fish and comes
from silkworms. The principal center
Of the manufacture Of this kind Of cat

turn was given to the mill
tary maneuvers in this city when fast
freight trains bearing ammunition and
provisions began to arrive Monday
morning The ammunition is of a
type usually used in active service.
Another indication on which many
are placed is the fact
that much rolling stock is held in
readiness in the railroad yards here.
This consists largely of box cars,
stock and flats, such as would be used
in the transportation Of horses, artil-
lery and food supplies. In addition to
these an extra train load of pontOon
bridges came with the other equip
ment. 1t is said in military circles
that this is the first time in the history
of military mobilization for maneu-
yer purposes that such equipment has
been part of the necessaries for
of armies across
streams. Just what all this means is
not known. but the undercurrent
about the camp is to the effect that
Uncle Sam desires to be ready in the
event his services are needed across
the border. There is suggestion. too.

partment has placed orders for pro-

TO DEBATE TONIGHT
Albion College Meets Earl
ham at Local College.

The last practice preparatory to the
Authoritarian debate, which will be
held at the Earlham chapel this even
ing, was given the Quaker team last
evening and Prof. E. p. Trueblood of
the oratory department is confident
that his proteges will make good
showing in the final clash tonight. The
Quakers have the affirmative on the
Commission Form of Government"
and are in excellent condition to sub
stantiate that side Of the question.
The team from Albion arrived last
evening and visited the local college
today. They represent one of the
strongest colleges in the middle west
in debating and one of the strongest
rivals of Earlham. Last year the
Quakers won a unanimous decision
from Albion and that team desires to
turn the tables tonight.
A social will be given in the stu
dents parlor after the debate by the
social committee of the college. The
Albion men. who will leave at 1920
p. M, will be the guests of honor.

The character of the soil has been
found to be similar to that at Louis

to the farmers. There is a duty on

profitable crop to grow than wheat.
Many suppose it is a difficult cereal

it can be handled as easily as other
grains. Only after the planting has
been made is the field flooded and

NO PULLMANS FOR
THE SOLDIER BOYS
One Private Says. He Slept
Standing All the Way
to San Antonio.
american News Service)

San Antonio, Tex. March 1.-THE
story has gone out to the world that
the soldiers modified at Fort Sam
Houston rode from the various camps
throughout the country to this city in
pullman cars. According to the dis
patches, they travelled in all the pomp
and splendor of men going out for a
good time with specially equipped
trains. But the soldiers themselves
tell quite a different story. why. we
had to sleep standing as we came to
San Antonio" said a private from At
lanta, Georgia. We did not have re-
spectacle passenger coaches. our train
was largely made up of Jim Crow
cars and We were crowded in so thick
that there was not seat room for all.
If the railroad company calls that a
pullman, III take mine on the soft
side of a rock in preference, prOvid-
ing there is room to lie down. The
fact is this pullman story is one of the
little white ones that the government
and the railroad company send out in
an endeavor to make good with the
people. The car | rode in was so old
it squeaked in every joint and would
have gone into a pile of kindling if
the wheels had left the track. The
fact is there was nothing about it fit
for service except the trunks. 1t was
a car that the company had used for
negro transportation for number of
years"
We received our orders to move at
ten o'clock at night. We got ready to
entrain at twelve O'Clock the next day.
But there was no chance at that hour.
Not a car was furnished us until nine
o'clock the following night. At eleven
o'clock at night the train left Atlanta,
twenty-five hours having elapsed from
the time of the order until our COM
mand started on its way. The rail
roads may talk about pullmans, but
many of the cars used to bring sol
diers to this place were dilapidated,
antiqued Old coaches unfit for service,
unsafe, and unsanitary. l presume

lows:
Since God is everywhere,
Why need l have a care
II, either here or there,
On Mother Earth's warm breast,
Should my spent body rest?
'Twere better far to sleep
Where Borean storm winds sweep
Across some barren steep
And wait while ages run,
Like young Endymion.
Than, sealed in metal che
In foul corruption rest,
unressurrect, unblest,
Through aeons finding way
Back to it's kindred clay.
When l pass on, o, Friend!
Let my worn body blend
With common dust and mend
Its mortal ills, to be
Returned in herb and trees
And though you hide it low,
Where desert cacti grow
And wild flowers never blow,
I shall be just as near
AS if 'twere buried here,
Where monuments abound.
AS fruits on fruitful ground,
Which, superstition-bound,
Some priest with bated breath,
Has set apart to death.
If God be life and grace
And our abiding place,
Then wherefore veX his face
BY doubts to death that cling
AS to living thing?
So when l GO away.
Let nature have her sway
To resurrect my clay
In bud and bloom and leaf.
Green blade and ripened sheaf.
