l offered the spelling prize
principally for the purpose Of
creating rivalry among the young
er class of people for good spell
ers and not because l had ten dol
lars to give away, (although would

earned it,
Most every one will agree with
me that the young people, as well
as the older ones are generally
weak in this test.
/ mean to offer the same prize
to be competed for in like manner
at the rair next year, but bear in
mind that you will only be allowed
25 minutes, the same basis as the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion allows for similar spelling.
Now you will have twelve long
months to prepare in and you
should coach yourselves to do the
work in a rapid manner. This is a
chance of all to gain and nothing
to lose with you. And every young
person should set out to win this
prize. You have long time to pre-
pare for the contest and should you
lose the prize, why you should
come out good speller which in
the long run will be'worth a dozen
such prizes. School teachers who
desire their pupils to make extra
marks in spelling should offer priz-
es for this test as well as in 9TH

the spelling contest desires their
manuscript returned to them, they
may write me to this effect.

ECZEMA BURNED AND ITCHED

203 Walnut St., Hillsboro, 1ll.-"My
child had breaking out on the lower
limbs which developed into eczema.
The eczema began with pimples which
contained yellow corruption and from
the child's clothing they were greatly
irritated. They seemed to burn, which
made the child scratch them, resulting
in a mass of open places. They made
her so cross and fretful that it was
impossible to keep her quiet, They
caused her to lose much sleep and she
was constantly tormented by severe
itching and burning.

CAPTAIN KNEW HIS VISITOR
Also Realized That Even superdread-
nough Would Be lmperlled by
Presence Of Idiot.

The brand-new battleship OF the SUI
peterborough type had been thrown
open to visitors. Her captain stood
at the gangway receiving his guests,
pride and delight In his magnificent
vessel shining in every lineament.
Suddenly his gaze concentrated upon
an approaching figure. His face grew
pale to the lips; he shook in every
fiber. Controlling his terror by
mighty effort, he turned hastily to his
executive officer.
"Clear for action, Mr.. Bloodlet," he
cried. Beat to quarters, Load with
grape. Order the marines to concen-
trate behind me, prepared to repel
boarders."
AYE, aye. sir" responded the off,
Ger promptly, although thoroughly be-
wildered.
The blood returned to the captains
face and he regained his composure
as he remarked how quickly his or
der were carried out, and how they
were prepared to meet their formida-
BILE foe successfully. Then his eyes
again sought the object Of his fears.
He was close aboard. Hello, cap'n!"
he cried, vacuous smile playing
about his weak mouth.
Back" shouted the captain stern
ly Back, or I'll blow you up"
Say, cap'n, that's what you seem
to be doin'," responded the enemy,
giggling.
Don't you try to set foot on board
my ship" continued the captain vehe'
mently. I'm not going to jeopardige
boat, crew and visitors for your pleas
ure"
ooh, say, cap'n," demonstrated the
enemy with another silly grin, don't
you know me?"
you bet ! do. You're the idiot that
rocks the boat, and you shall not come
on board mine"

Much Ado About little.

After all the bother about the sun
dry civil appropriations bill, and the
rider" which was supposed to exempt
labor unions and farmers organiza
tons from prosecution, President viii
son points out that this prohibition
applies only to, a single appropriation
of 100000.
Even so, the president says he does
not like the rider" and the Journal
agrees with him. But that rider does
not change existing antitrust legisla
ton and does not keep the depart
ment of justice from using other ap
preparations in any way that seems
necessary. 1t merely states the senti
ments of congress in reference to this
particular sum of money.
President Wilson took a common
sense course in signing the bill, while
making public protest against the
rider" The efforts of trust schemers
to stir up a quarrel between presi
dent and congress on an unimportant
matter have failed.-Chicago Journal

PhiIanthroplst's Right to Have His
Name on List Of Those Who

At banquet at San Francisco re-
Gently William F. McCombs told OF
a conversation in a club In which sew
eral philanthropic personages were
mentioned and lauded to the skies.
The conversation had gone to some
length, Mr.. McCombs said, when a
man who was sitting in a corner arose
with a merry smile fitting over his
features and broke into the gabfest.
Your philanthropists are all right,
he remarked, "but think 1t is only
just that my next-door neighbor should
be included in the kindly disposed
bunch" I'VE are willing to add him
to the list" responded one of the
others, "but is he really so gener-
ously inclined?" well, ! should say
that he is" was the emphatic declara-
ton of the first. Dozens Of tramps

lously. That's right" rejoined the

Bees Addicted to npope.n

Just add this one to all the queer
things that have happened in the year
of grace 1918 and believe it's true, be-
cause w. E. Baker, deputy auditor of
the state of Ohio, says he can prove
1t.
The honey bees near Fostoria, which
is Bakers home town, have contract
ed the opium habit. Like the Chinese,
they get theirs from the poppy. Bak-
er and many other residents of Fos-
toria grow oriental peoples.
The bees have found this out, and
of late they are leaving acres of
clover blossoms to hunt out the poppy
beds They work very vigorously for
an hour or so and then fall to the
ground apparently as stupefied as are
opium smokers after hitting the
pipe."-Fostoria (Ohio) dispatch to

Plans to Live as Savage.

To prove that the people Of the
twentieth century need not be slaves
to civilized convention, Joseph
Knowles, Boston, painter of outdoor
life, plans to plunge into the wilder
ness of northern Maine this month
without clothing, food, matches, fire
arms or ammunition.
He promises to stay there until DC
tober /, to subsist on fish, game, Der
rles and wild vegetables and to come
out fully clothed. He will live so OF
60 miles away from any settlement
and will accept no help from the out
side world.
Knowles will make his own fire by
friction; will build a log cabin from
material he finds in the woods, and
will make traps out of what he dis
covers in the practically UNEMPLOYED

REGIME for Maklnn Jokes.

There is nothing any easier than
writing jokes. Simply jot down your
ideas for the jokes, say two or three
hundred, on a slip of paper; then seat
yourself before a typewriter. Feed
blank paper into the typewriter and
inject the ideas through your finger
tips into the keys. Continue to do
this until all of the ideas on the slip
are exhausted, then gather up the
Jokes, which have piled themselves
into heap on the opposite side of the
typewriter, send them to editors and
receive your checks. A couple of
hours day spent in this manner
should bring you in revenue enough
to support wife and nine children,
run six-cVlinder touring car and buy
bonbons for soul-mate. Try it,

LIKES THE MEASURE
Josiah Quincy Of Massachusetts
Favors Currency Bill.
Believes Country viii Give Full Rec
ignition to its Many Good Fea-
tures-ls Wise and construe-
tive Craftsmanship.

Former Mayor Josiah Quincy OF
Boston, at one time Democratic ma
tional committeeman of Massachu-
sets, and one of the original Wilson
men of that state, in discussing the
currency bill, said:
Il believe that the administration
banking and currency measure has
made a very favorable impression
upon the country. There is certainly
very general commentator of the
courage which the president has
shown in launching the bill at the
extra session, and full recognition is
given the many good features which it
contains.
Il have great confidence In the abil-
ity of the Democratic party under its
present leadership, both at the White
House and in congress, to achieve the
passage of a measure which will be
on the whole satisfactory to the coun-
try. We must relieve the American
worst banking system of any civilized
nation in respect to provision FOR
meeting conditions of strained credit
and panic.
THE bill is a great attempt at con-
structive craftsmanship, and believe
that public sentiment will support the
president in his insistence that 1t
should Immediately follow the passage
of the tariff bill, which is necessarily
disturbing to some lines of industry,
however beneficial its general and flu
ture effects may be.
Some features of the bill may meet
with objection in New England az
elsewhere, but our, bankers and finan'
ciers are independent men, and do
their own thinking do not believe
that when they fully understand the
bill they will follow the large banks
in the central reserve cities in the
opposition which some of the latter
seem to be disposed to make.
with the passage Of both tariff
and a currency bill the administration
would have a notable record Of
achievement upon which to appeal to
the voters"

Let Them Wear Thsml

1t is observed that one or two taste
full advocates of establishment Of the
male dress are writing to the papers
declaring that men should be allowed
by custom to wear not only bracelets,
but earrings, too, If they desire. Well,
who prevents them? They can wear
both If they wish. They can also do
better and wear nose rings, which
would be more truly American adorn-
ment, inherited from the real natives
