FORCE OF 13,5OO,OO0 TONS
Engineers Estimate of Impact of the
Titanic With Iceberu

Engineers in New York figure that
when the Titanic hit the ice she struck
with force equal to that of thirty
seven Empire State express trains
travelling at the rate of seventy miles
an hour.
With her cargo and passengers, the
Titanic had a displacement of about
so, 900 tons. Because of the danger
of the locality it is thought she pro-
ceeded at speed of about fifteen
knots an hour.
Figuring on the basis accepted by
naval architects and engineers, the
Titanic struck the iceberg with an i'm
pact force of Is, 500, 900 tons. If the
Empire State express had struck the
same object the force Of the impact
would be approximately 367, 500 tons

ABOUT THE TITANIC
Great Steamship Was Fitted Up Like
a Modern Hotel

The Titanic was the exact counter
part of her sister ship, the Olympic,
which began its service between New
York and England last year. The
Olympic has become known as 10
nah," and her ill-name among sea-
faring men seems to have been ex-
tended to the Titanic.

the votes and announce the names of the ladies

The last ten days all voting must be done in a
sealed box at the bank If you do not wish anyone
to know whom you are voting for, place your cash
for subscriptions together with your coupons in an
envelope which will be furnished you, seal it and
put same in ballot box. This will give every one
fair and square deal. 49,. =. : ......-s..,---

Horse Famine StdPeS
Cavalry In The Face
(5y United Press.)

Washington, Oct. 5-Unclo SANS
cavalry is up against the problem of
another horse famine"
The Second and Fourteenth Cavalry
regiments, which have Just returned
to the United States from the Philip
pines. have had to be entirely remount
ed because a disease made it impossi
BILE for the regiments to bring back
their mounts from the islands
The remount stations which supply
horses for the cavalry arm, have been
almost stripped bare of serviceabic
mounts, and if there should be any ad
ditional demands for horses the gov
eminent might have to go out and
buy horses in the open market
Owing to the activity of the MeXi
can rebels on the border the demands
for cavalry have been large.

BECAUSE IT PAYS FARMERS.
German Cooperative Banks increase
Tenfold.

Why has the number of cooperative
banks in Germany increased tenfold
in 20 years with corresponding growth
in other forms of cooperation Why
is their growth greater from year to
year, Because it pays the farmers
and others who thus cooperate pays
in saving money and in making
profits, pays by encouraging thrift
and pays yet more by bringing the
farmers together and holding them to-
gether, says Herbert Myrick, editor Of
Farm and Home The first lesson
from it all, to our farmers in the
United States, is this: Get together!
Get better acquainted, know and un-
derstand each other better, bury sus
picions and jealousies, develop mu-
tual confidence cultivate charity of
views and unity of action, be willing
to trust capable men to manage your
cooperative undertakings and loyalty
back them up. This is the only solid
basis upon which to build co-opera-

MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'm
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial Of strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
i from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
q distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an I'M
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women will persist
in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham sVegetable Com
pound, a most valuable tonic and invig-
orator of the female organism.
