STRICT LIMIT PUT ON
MONEY ORDER AMOUNT

Drastic measures to prevent the
United States from being depleted
Of its gold through the money order
service of the government have been
adopted at Washington. Postmast-
ers have been instructed by Post
master Burleson that money orders
under no circumstances shall be is
sued for payment in European coun-
tries for a greater amount than 800
to one payee. Burieson says:
Should the failure of postmasters
strictly to enforce these instructions
result in the certifcation of large
amounts to foreign countries, an in
tolerable burden would be imposed
upon the postal money order system
with a consequent enormous loss OF
revenue"
Similar instructions were isseud
some weeks ago and it was in con-
sequence of the many violations OF
the earlier order that the more sweep
Ing ones were sent out.

Art Of Sailing.

Shifting canvas so as to utilize the
blow OF the wind for driving ships
upon the water is one OF the very
earliest Of the arts through which
man has continued to utilize the
forces of nature. When steam power
came into use the sailing craft was
at the very highest stage of its de-
velopment. The stately four-master,
spreading a score of sheets TO the
wind, was queen Of the waters a CEN
fury ago. With the multiplication of
steam-driven ships and, within the
last decade or so, the amazing substi-
tuition Of the internal combustion
gasoline engines for sails upon YES
sells Of the small-tonnage class raises
the query as to whether the sailors
craftsmanship is not soon to be num-
bered among the lost arts. 1t begins
to look as though the sailing ship and
the horse might go out together.

DEMAND FOR GRAPEFRUIT.

The demand for grapefruit is on
stantly increasing in England. The
movement of this fruit from Florida
to Europe ought consequently to in
crease. In response to inquiries
Vice-Consul Stead at Liverpool says
that at present only the higher class
Of Liverpool food merchants carry
grapefruit. This is because of the
novelty of the fruit. Only a few
years ago grapefruit was COMPARE
lively unknown in the markets of
England. The same was true of the
markets Of Germany. With regard
to Florida oranges, it is believed that
the demand would be good, but the
price might not be very satisfactory,
because Of the great quantity Of Va
lencia and Jaifa oranges, both Of
which are on the market at the same
time. A prominent fruit firm Of Liy-
erpool says that if Florida oranges
could be shipped to England in Sep
TENDER and October and the first
week or so Of November it is prob
able that satisfactory prices could be
realized.

MONEY TREE" DESTROYED
town, Md, Frustrated by
Recent Storm.

The celebrated old "money tree"
two miles south of Shepherdstown,
Nd, was almost entirely demolished
by a storm. Every limb, save one,
was broken off, leaving a lone branch
springing from the decaying trunk
of what was once a mighty oak that
had stood the storms Of several hum
dred years. The giant oak has been
a landmark over since that section
was first settled.
During the Civil war a Union
army paymaster is said to have hid
his money chest in hole under the
tree and then reported at headquar-
tiers that the money had been cap
tured by Confederates. His story
being doubted, he was convicted of
stealing the treasure by a court-mar-
tial. He refused to tell what became
of the money, and he served five
years in prison without divulging its
hiding place,
When he was released he went
back to Shepherdstown by night, dug
up the box he had buried, and car
ried off the treasure-some S65,000
in gold, silver and paper money.

 +. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
 IS. And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
 19. For in those days shall be af- fliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
 20. An except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elects sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath short ened the days. 21. And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, To, he is there; believe him not: P. For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible. even the elect.
 23. But take ye heed: behold I have foretold you all things. "A. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, "A. And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heav- en shall be shaken. 26. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
 27. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the ut termost part of heaven. 2S. Now learn a parable of the fig tree When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
 29. So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors 30. Verify I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

tie feeling that the United States should settle the internal difficulties of Mexico with the strong hand. A few have believed that we should "move our southern boundary line to the canal zone," while a larger party has held that it is our duty to take charge of Mexican affairs, establish government according to our ideas and give Mexico her independence only when she became fit for it.
 It now develops that when Carranza refused to entertain the overtures for peace of Carbajal it was the opinion of majority of the presidents Cabi- net that nothing was left for us to do but to send General Funston to Mexi co City to take charge. Only the presidents inflexible determination to keep the peace prevented the United States from becoming involved in war with the constitutionalists, for there can be little doubt that if we had undertaken military occupation of the Mexican capital war With Mex ico would have followed. Huerta tried his best to bring it about and there may still be Mexican leaders who desire it.
 President Wilson's success in steer ing us clear of war with Mexico. which could have benefited us in no way and which might have involved us with other nations in the end, strengthens our confidence in his ability to keep us free from dangerous complications with nations of the old world. No chance for complica tion is now in sight, but half the world is at war and there is no telling what dangerous contingency may arise at any time, and it is reassuring to know that Woodrow Wilson, the great peace president. is at the helm.

 ST. MARK.
CHAPTER 13-

CHAPTER 13.
 And as he went out of the temple
 one of his discpiles saith unto him,
 Master, see what manner of stones
 and what buildings are here! 2. And Jesus answering said unto i him, Seest thou these great buildings another, that shall not be thrown
 down.
 3. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter
 and James and John and Andrew ask
 ed him privately, 4. Tell us, when shall these things
 be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
 ,. And Jesus answering them be-
 gan to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
 6. For many shall come in my
 name, saying, 1 am Christ; and shall deceive many.
 '. And when ye shall hear of wars
 and rumours of wars, be ye not trou- bled for such things must needs be; {; but the end shall not be yet. 8. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom :: and there shall be earthquakes in
 divers places, and there shall be fam ines and troubles: these are the be- ginnings of sorrows.
 9. But take heed to yourselves:
 for they shall deliver you up to coun- cils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake. for testimony against them. 10. And the gospel must first be
 published among all nations Il. But when they shall lead you
 and deliver you up, take no thought
 beforehand what ye shall speak, neith-
 CT do ye premeditate: but whatsoever
 shall be given you in that hour, that
 speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 12. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son. and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. f3. And ye shall be hated of all l men for my names sake: but. he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

THE RISE IN PRICES,

The government is properly under taking an investigation into the sharp advance in foodstuffs. It will prob ably pay special attention to the in crease in the price of flour, sugar and fresh meats, for the advance in the price of these commodities appear to be rather speculative than based on the law of supply and demand.
 With wEeat piled up at Our sniE- ping ports unable to secure trans portation; with the largest crop this country has ever produced already harvested and with the domestic sup- ply hundreds of millions of bushels in excess of any possible domestic de mand, the advance in the price ot flour appears to be purely specula- tive.
 The only excuse for an advance ol I about 70 per cent in the price ol sugar in less than month is thai Russian, Balkan and German bee ! sugar may not figure in the market ] of the world. The government in I vestigation may develop that the ad | vance in price is purely Speculative and not justified by the relation be tween supply and demand. Advance in fresh meats is entire ly due to causes that would have been operative if the war had no broken out. or else it is Speculative There is nc new demand for fresi
 meats on account of the war ane \ cured meats have advanced onl! moderately.
 The sharp advance in these thre, commodities deserves thorough in vestigation by the government and i the rise in prices is due to specula tion congress should pass laws tt stop it, if the laws we now have ar, inadequate.

The city employees are about the only people included in Pine Bluffs population who receive 20 per cent less than they are supposed to Dc paid, due to the municipality's finan- cial condition. Patrolmen are SUD- posed to receive $70 a month, and scrip for this amount is issued to them, but it is not payable until two have the money, and the result is they are compelled to accept so cents on the dollar. In other words, tl ay pay 20 per cent to collect money they've earned. No wonder there .s a threatened strike.
