RUSSIANS IN DISMAL SWAMP

hOOStNNS iN Dt0WAL OWAMF
The Masurian lakes and canals, a
network Of natural barriers, stretches
out before the invading hosts Of Rus
slams in East Prussia. The reaches of
open water are in most cases too wide
for pontooning. Lines of barbed wire
entanglements stretch for miles be-
tween the lakes, while artillery COM
mands the passage of the lakes them
selves.
The Masurian lake region comprises
about 1000 square miles, or as much
as the State of Connecticut, in the
southern part of the province of East
Prussia, having Russian territory on
the east and south 1t is full of lakes
Of all sizes, from the Spirdingsee, the
largest body Of fresh water in Ger
many, to the most minute of ponds. 1t
is known as "the land of the thousand
lakes" One chain nearly a hundred
miles long, stretches from Angerburg
to Johannesburg. They are all CON
nected by natural straits and by ca
mails. The water area of this group,
which is forming the best barrier
against the invaders, is 42O square
miles.
The Germans have prepared to
make an effective stand along this
chain of dakes. Unless the campaign
is extended into the winter, the Rus
SLAMS will find it difficult to cross the
lake region. The average thickness of
the ice in winter in this region is from
one to one and one-half feet
With the whole region a frozen sur

HOW -FOUR LADS
BUILT A CLUB
HOUSE
THEIR "HEAD0uARTERss is THE
Coolest LITTLE BUNGALOW
IN EMP0RlA

The kids of Las Vegas and many
fathers and mothers-will be interest
ed in this clipping from the Emporia
(Kas.) Gazette. which is descriptive
of club house built by four boys for
their headquarters"
A bunch Of west side boys, who call
themselves the o. II. RS, have built
a beautiful little club house on the
lot at back of the T. P. Gee home, 1901
West street.
The charter members are Harry
Samuel, Ralph Samuel, Willis Gee
and warren Smith. The members
taken later are Homer Laird, Gaylord
Madden, Paul Arnold, Edwin Roberts,
Leo Gee and Walt Sheridan. The
house is well built little bungalow
of three rooms with al vine covered
porch the approach to which is light
ed by white way. To the north Of
the club house is an excellent tennis
court, where the boys have become
not only proficient but expert at one
of the best athletic sports.
Inside the house the big room, in
the middle Of which is an inviting
billiard table, is the picture of com
fort. On one side is a spacious fire
place. Big easy chairs, crude but com
Portable, are everywhere. The walls
are hung with trophies and curiosities
that would put millionaire's hunting
lodge to shame. There are boxing
gloves, tennis racquets, foils, masks,
indian clubs. queer trinkets and many
appropriate and interesting pictures.
The adjoining room, known as the
bunk room, is as interesting as the
first. Near the window is home
made desk fitted with telegraph in
struments, by which the members may
communicate with other members at
their homes or shops. There is al
telephone, but the boys say that for
confidential communication the tele-
graph is much more satisfactory. OIL
course it might be necessary to use
the phone to ask a boys mother to
cali him to the instrument, but the
real messages are sent by dots and
dashes. On one side of this desk is |
the rogues' gallery, conglomerate
mass of photographs and near photo
graphs of the members in and under
some amazing conditions. There are
two pictures Of the original shack,
which was a one room affair, the front
room of the present house The boys
have their own printed stationery.
The hunks, built one above the
other, will accommodate four boys.
The rest of the room serves as a Ii
brary, locker room and general store
room. The smallest room, the kitchen,
is equipped with stove, cooking uten-
sils, and Iarder with provisions for
a long siege. An Innocent looking
box in one corner appears to be cup
board, but entirely different. It's

the door and pull a cord. The place !

applied II would smart and burn 80 badly

while afterward. Il continued to spread
until nearly the whole back of his neck was
covered with bright red rash clear up into
his hair. 1t made an awful looking place;
it was red and would get scaly. His hair
seemed to get thin at the time. It itched
and burned from the very beginning: the
itching was dreadful at times and he could
hardly keep from scratching. When he did
scratch it would bleed. 1t was dreadfully
annoying.
= told my husband believed We could
heal the ringworm with Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and we at once got some. 1t had
then been seven months since it first started.
He used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment

disappeared and left no scar whatever,

been conquered, and the rich swamp
lands are no longer the terror they
were. This is evidenced in our own
county, in the splendid and perfect
drainage of the lands embraced in
the Oklawaha River Farms. Irrigation
and dry fal ming have brought new
prosperity to the west and southwest
Water power is being conducted over
wires hundreds of miles, where for
merly it was all but wasted. The
oil lands and the mineral wealth have
burst the bounds of former monopo-
lies and opened up vaster possibili-
ties than ever before, and the in
ventive genius of the American has
never been idle. New miracles are
daily being wrought by invention.
Why, then, have we had a business
depression in the face of these
things?
Simply because a great many peo-
pie thought we ought to have it: we
should have it, and must have it; it
was due.
1t was largely mental state There
was no real need of it, or for it. Bus
mess men see that more clearly now.
But many of them are more satisfied,
apparently, because we have had it.;
and they have learned something.
They have learned that you cannot
have panics unless there is tight
money" unless the reserve is tied up,
as it was for the past fifty years
tied up when it was most needed.
This business depression which we
have been through has been valuable.
then, in that it has demonstrated to
all the people the wisdom of the pres
emit system of flexible currency. The
old conditions have disappeared for
ever.
AS A. w. Douglass of st. Louis said
at the Economic Club a few nights
ago, there has been curious psyche
logical phenomena during the busi-
ness depression; the people-the
common people-haye been optimist-
ic through it all. They left their
money in the banks. The common
people had more confidence than the
so-called financiers, and when the
common people have confidence you
can't have panics.
So now that the lesson has been
learned. and that the greatest crops
in the history of the country are in
sight, it is up to everybody to forget
the mental depression, start in ouick.
