Social At LynnwOOd.

The measuring social at Lynn
wood school house Thurs lay
night, in spite of threatening
weather was a success in every
way.
Quite a crowd was present in
anticipation of a good time and
as usual they were not disap-
pointed. The program rendered
was excellent, and the players
acted exceedingly well. There
was not a break of any sort, and
the crowd was kept in an uproar
of laughter from start to finish.
After the program, refresh
ments were served by the ladies'
of the faculty and at a late hour
the crowd dispersed much pleased
with the evenings entertain
ment.
Lynnwood patrons are to be
congratulated in having a faculty
and pupils that can and will do
something.

American Farm Homes
Disgrace Civilization
Government Says the Aver.
age Home Hasn't Shared
in Improved Conditions

Washington, Jan. 29-That the
average farm home in the United
States is a rebuke to Americas
boosted civilization is the conclu-
sion reached by the farm architect
of the department of agriculture
as a result of extended investiga-
ton of the subject. In a statement
today the department emphasizes
the Importance of an economically
constructed and comfortable home
for the farmer, the most impor-
tant feature of which should be the
kitchen.
Attention is called to the fact
that the average farm home has
failed to share in improved agricuj-
tural conditions. Relatively, it is
declared, the housewife of cents
ry ago, with her fireplace cooking
and log cabin, was better provid-
ed for than is the housewife to-
day. As result of the public
awakening to the fact that better
farm honses are needed, the de.
partment of agriculture, through
its office of farm management, bis
now investigating this problem
Systematically and to evolve, il
possible, practical improvements
for the farmer.

State Prison Commission. Other
members of the commission took a
similar view.
Guard Thompson who is under
charges of assault with intent to
murder asserts that whipping is
absolutely necessary to the discip-
line of convict camp. If the strap
were not permitted to be used he
said that it would be practically
impossible to control the convicts.
He declares that he has never
given a convict over ten ticks and
that any story that he had beaten
convict until the blood came is
untrue.

AUSTRIAN ARMY BOTTLED
UP IN ENFMY'S COUNTRY
(By United press.)

NTSH. Servia. Nov. by mail to
New York)-At Krupani on the e7st-
lern bank Of the Drina. a situation has
developed probably without parallel
in all the present European war.
Although able to boast of the fact
that they are in the enemv's terri
tory, the Austrians are in the rather
embarrassing position Of neither be
ing able to advance nor retire. The
least movement on their part would
mean the certain humiliation of the
t%entire detachment.
For over a month now these few
Austrians near Krupanj have been
trenches of the two armies not being
on an average Of more than 60 yards
apart. It is this proximity, together
with the apparent friendliness that
has grown up between the two bodies
Of troops, that has given rise to the
most unusual situation.
Every evening the Servians have
resource TO a most Ingenious method
Of tantalizing their Austrian neigh
bors in the trenches SO near at hand.
This is for the Servians to sing the
folk songs Of the various districts of
Servia. In the Austrian ranks there
are many Slavs. or Servians. coming
from Bosnia, Dalmatia. Croatia. Sla-
vonia and other Servian provinces
which are under Austrian rule. That
these folk songs Of the Servians drive
almost to madness and desertion their
brothers in the rival trenches there
can be no doubt, and no small portion
Of the duty Of the Austrian seutinels
IS that Of guarding against Servian
desertions within the Austrian ranks
rather than Servian attacks from
without.
In response to these folk songs Of
the Servians, the Anstrians who are
not of Slav origin set NJ cries of
"Come on you half-starocd Servians;
surrender yourselves; come over to
MS; wen give you something to eat. -
In response to this. the Servians. to
show that they are not half starved.
cease singing and shower the Aus
trian trenches with chicken bones
and other remnants of the evening
repast.
Another favorite pastime of the
Servians is to hurl u whole vollev Of
tin cans and boxes at the trenches
pretending they are bombs and accom-
panying them with vocal volieys
which initiate to perfection the sonnd
Of exploding shells. The Austrians
reply by swearing at the Servians in
all twelve Of the languages most com
monty spoken in the Austrian empire
together with a goodly number Of
dialect "cuss-words.D
Despite this seeming friendliness,
there is never a relaxation for a mo-
ment either in the military preeau-
ltions or in the consciousness on both
sides that the instant the order comes
to fight, it means fight to the last
man. The Austrians cnange their
men in the trenches every "a hours.
The Servians, being numerically in
~ferior, are not able to do 50, and the
men now in the trenches have beer
there for a month without change.
The odor of decaving bodies, which
lie between the two trenches, rise al
SO constantly to the ~nostrils of both
little armies. but despite the menace
of this, and despite the seeming
friendliness between the two lines,
there is not a man who does not know
that to venture forth even to bury or
drag away the corpses, would mean
instant death.

Pheasants and Turkeys.

The fame of the pheasant in Eng
land and western Europe rests upon
its qualities as a game fowl and the
species known there are not remark
able for beauty. Pheasants are not
indigenous TO America, and here the
ruffed grouse is often mistakenly
called a pheasant. Our native turkeys
are closely related to the pheasant
family.

He sat like statue on his shining
horse. his six-shooter balanced to shoot,
and something in his very presence
the bulk OF his body, the forward
thrust of his head, and the burning
hate Of his eyes-quelled the Spirits
Of the rebels. They were a rag-tas
army. mounted on horses and donkeys
and mules and with arms of every
known make
1t was just such an army as was
overrunning all northern Mexico, such
an army as had been levying tribute
ON the land for a century. They spread
terror throughout all that great coun-
try south Of the American border.
The fiery glances OF the American
made them cringe as they had always
cringed before their masters. and his
curses turned their blood to water. He
lowered above them like a giant, pour
ing forth torrent of oaths and beck
oning them on their way. and the lead
er was the first to yield.
With hand half-raised and jaw on
his breast he struck spurs to his fright
ened mule and went dashing over the
ridge.
The others followed by twos and
threes. some shrinking, some protest
ing, some gazing forth villainously
from beneath their broad hats. AS they
looked back he whirled upon them and
swore he would kill the first man that
dared to turn his head.
After all. they we're a generation OF
slaves. those low-browed. unthinking
poems. and war had not made them
brave. They passed on. the whole
line OF bewildered soldiery. looking in
vain for the men that were behind the
American, staring blankly at the beau
tiful woman who sat SO courageously
by his side.
When the last had gone by Bud
picked up his rifle and watched him
around the point. Then he smiled
grimly at Gracia. whose eyes were still
round with wonder. and led the way
down the trail.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD.
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood Is q try
ing one to most women and marks dis.
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not ons
woman in hundred Is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing IL
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.

upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
