automobiles and some of them
now have neither houses or au-

horses and buggies are going

hence one will have to go to a

A prominent farmer who re-
sides near town stated that he
had a large crop of full grown
chickens. The fowls were
raised on the farm and it had
been so dry that they had never
witnessed any such thing as a
rainfall, so when the downpour
came last Friday they did not
know what to make of it and
acted like they were possessed of
evil spirits. They flew cackling
about the premises acting very
much like they were chased by
snakes. Some fell dead with
heart failure. while others broke
their wings flying against the
houses and trees. In all he lost
about a dozen valuable flyers.

was that it started with the sun

The Last Great European
War.
War.

The Last GREAT European
War.
History repeats itself, but with
variations. A hundred years ago
France alone. under the leader
ship of Napoleon faced Germa-
ny, Austria, Italy, Russia and
Great Britain-and won.
At thirty-six. Napoleon had
conquered every nation of Europe
and in the battle of Austerlitz in
1905. practically brought the con-
tinent under the subsection of
the French army. Then Austria,
Germany AND Russia formed the
coalition against France, only to
be beaten in battle after battle
until they were forced to sue for
peace. England. thanks to her
impregnable navy. was the only
nation not forced to acknowledge
Napoleon's rule.
1t was the snow covered STEP
pes of Russia rather than the
military science of Europe that
finally turned the tide against
him.
The European crisis gives a
particular opportuneness to the
offer of Napoleon's memories.
Few books throw a more illumi.
mating and interesting light on
the underlying causes of those
years of conflict than the fasci-
mating story of the man whose
meteoric career left Europe sown
with the seeds of discomfort.
Eventually" said Napoleon,
Russia will rule the World. I"
The present conflict will go far
toward determining the truth of
that prophecy, and day by day
it will furnish an abolishing H.
lustration of the advance which
has been made in the art of war;
fare since the days, only a cen.
fury ago, when France alone had
Europe at her feet.
Napoleons Memories, written
by his secretary, Baron De Men
eval, will give you a clearer in.
sight into that tremendous up
heavel of Europe which the pres
ent crisis seems destined to re-
produce.

Infection and Insect Bites Dangerous
Mosquitoes, flies and other insects,
which breed quickly in garbage pals,
ponds of stagnant water, barns, musty

Every time they bite you, they inject

some dread disease may result. 1t is
