COST OF EYEGLASSES UP.
Supply of Lenses From Germany
Cut OFF by War.

New York Times: "Thls European
war has many r~amifcations that the
public generally has no idea Of" said
an optician to a customer as he look
ed over the prescription for a pair of
eyeglasses.
"One of these is going to affect you
right now in the filling of his pre-
scription. 1t is an increase in the cost
Of special lenses for eyeglasses and
spectacles. I shall have to charge vol
a dollar more for these than I did for
the last pair l made for You.
isn't that rather rubbing 1t in a
bit ?" the customer asked. II had an
idea you made these glasses in this
shop. Don't tell me they are ground
abroad and you cannot get orders fill
ed"
Not exactly that, but you've come
pretty close to it. These lenses are
made from imported blanks, however,
as I know, is Germany. In common
with a lot of things Of European ORR
gin, the price has risen since the dec
laration Of war, simply because the
source of supply a been suddenly
cut off, and there Is no telling hen
we can get more blanks from which
the lenses are ground. None are made
In this country LnaL nave the CeXLuES
and transparency these German made
GLASSES have. The chances are that
the makers have all been called to the
front, and the industry stopped for
the time being. At all events that is
the position importers take and the
price of the blanks in the fact OF this
probability has been advanced, as the
supply Of the blanks, always rather
limited, is now one that causes us to
worry about the future supply.
"Only the imported glass is used by
American grinders in their high grade
work, though American made glass is
used in the ordinary low priced glass
es such as o can buy at almost any
store. But glasses ground from pre-
| scriptions are always from the Ger
man blank. This blank you see has nc
ma%gnifying qualities at present. but

mushroom and emery paste polishers
it will have just that quality needed
to- suit your vision in the opinion OF
the oculist who made the prescription
Nothing we can get hold of will fl

THE SEASON.

Hunting season and Labor day ar
rive together this year in North Da-
kota. The season opens Sept. Z. AS
a result it is expected there will be an
army Of shooters afield on thai day
that will mako the European war look
Ike a mere skirmish. The holiday
will give many shooters an opportunity
To go afield. who would not otherwise
be able to get way on the opening
day.
The bird crop, except in the Red
river valley proper, is quite large and
the indications are that the sport will
be good this ear. The birds have had
a hard time for the last two years. In
1912 the season opened on Saturday
and in 1918 on Sunday. Both dates
resulted in a larger crowd going out
the opening day than under normal
conditions and the situation will not
be helped any this year by the holi-
day.
The local duck crop will be larger
this year than in many seasons parti-
ally because the enforcement Of the
state spring shooting law for several
seasons and the federal law this
spring. has given the ducks greater
security and more have nested than
ever before within the boundaries Of
the state. The early spring and sum-
mer rains, which was a handicap to the
prairie chickens during the Matching
season. was ideal for the ducks and
almost every slough and pot hole and
lake in the state is covered with ducks.
These birds will be killed by the thou
sands early in the season when the
game is scarcely fit. to be eaten. The
majority of sportsmen Of the state are
anxious to see the duck shooting sea
son open two to three weeks later than
the chicken season, by which time the
waterfowl would be better developed
and there would be more sport in
shooting them and more value to the
birds from a food standpoint.
Because the season opens this year
on Monday, it will be a great tempta-
ton for some hunters in the more re-
mote sections Of the state to begin on
Sunday, the day before. Anticipating
trouble of this nature, the state game

THE FoUNT OF KNOWLEDGE.

I had a hundred dollars once
A fortune pretty near!
I kept it till l met a chap
Who whispered in my ear:
where river and a railroad meet
A city sure must grow;
l have a site like this and-well,
l let my hundred go.
Another hundred then I saved
And at the proper time
l met another chap who had
A mining venture prime;
1T has machinery, shafts and all
The others paid for that
You're just in time to get the creamI'
l %couGhed my hundred fiat.
And still another hundred bones
l saved and sailed down;
l met a chap who had the bug
To start a model town."
1T means a fortune big" he said,
I'm privileges and rent;
Besides it's real philanthrOphy,"
And then my hundred vent!
Three hundred bones at knowledge

And though LIN badly shorn,
I've learned that streams and rails can
meet
Where cities cant be born;
I've learned that others mining stock
Won't buy my bread and meat,
And model towns" can get along
Without an Easy street!

LIBERTY AND

Great Britain at last is a unified ma
ton. For the first time she can fight
a great war without fearing enemies
in her own house. For Ireland is now
loyal.
John Redmond has pledged the feal-
ty of Home Rule Ireland. and the gov
eminent, in a burst of imperial gener-
osity, has named a warship the Erin.
More than that. the government at
Westminster has removed the en-
barge on the shipment OF arms into
Ireland. And this within two weeks
after British troops shot down Irish
volunteers in. a Dublin suburb for dar-
ing to accept Struggled rifles.
The more England loosens the reins
Of power. the more loyal the members
of her scattered empire seem to be-
come. The Irish, who fought against
her in the Spanish Armada time until
the Boer war. are merely the latest
and most striking example. The Beers

fend the integrity of the empire.

from England's hard-fought expert

originally German, have never become
reeonciled to Germany since she took
them from France in 1871. Today they
are eager for secession, aid volun-
teers are 1ocking to the French ranks.
Russia, having absorbed and oppress-
ed Poland and Finland, finds hostility
there when she needs support. The
Slavs of Bosnia and HERZEGOVINA in
stead of helping Austria in her ex-
tremity, are prepared to revolt, as are
the Croats and DalmatIans, and the
Italians of Trtste and the Trentino.
1t has taken the world a lone time
to discover that tyranny IS a losing
game, and that loyalty to government
springs from liberty.

LIEGE's SCIENTIFIC FAME.

Liege has produced at least one
scientific man of the first rank, writes
a correspondent of the New York
Times. Prof. NJ. J.. Delboeuf of the
university of Liege is known through
out the world for his original work in
psychology, especially along the lines
of hypnOtism and kindred subjects. He
was the first man to draw attention to
the marvellous precision with which en-
tranCed or ~hypontized subjects can Oc-
CasiOnally reckon time and in his pa
per, The Appreciation of Time By
SOmnambules, published in the Pro-
Ceedings of the English Society for
PsyChical Research, he contributed the
first of a series of experiments which
have since been repeated at great
length by DR.. Bramwell and others, and
his facts proved correct. He showed
that hypnotic subjects can reckon time
often to the second, when they have no
conscious knowledge Of so doing. Thus
gestion that in $50 minutes (say) she
wOuld perform a certain action sug-
gested to her. She was awakened and
then had no conscious memor Of the
action or the time suggested. At pre-
Cisely the right time, however, h
performed the desired action, apparent
ly Of her own Volition. DR.. Bramwell
afterward extended these experiments
to cover weeks Of time, with the same
results.
Professor Delboeuf also conducted a
very remarkable series Of experiments
in the induction Of Authorizations, at a
time when this had been very little
studied. He also studied the cure of
warts by suggestion and contributed
several cases of this character. He

 The local team was outweighed but they put up one of the gamest fights that has ever been witnessed in Pres colt. The final score was 36 to 2 in favor of the visitors.
