Essen sufficient houses for their EN-

dwellings. Now some four hundred
houses are provided, many being given

Krupp Won Bohlens are inspiring re-

whom great riches can never be a

And II is in the hands OF the Krupp

THEIR FIRST LOVE
BY H. M. EGBERT.

The two houses had formed one in
more spacious days, but where the
stout brick chimney reared itself
through the center of the frame build
ing a brick wall had been built in, eX-
tending from the cellar to the roof,
and converting the one home into two.
The only symbol of communion be-
tween the disunited parts of what had
been organically one was that, on
windy days, smoke from stove set
against the chimney on either side
would issue down the fiue into the
stove in the adjacent room. And
sometimes, too, II any one listened at
the sheet iron, one could hear words
spoken upon the other side.
When Frank Barton and Ida Norris
were children they had played at this
game; but that was long ago. The
intimacies of the old house were not
evoked by childish play any more.
Both were immeasurably old-each
was twenty.
The double house stood In small
town, just such town as may be seen
almost anywhere In New England
neither rich nor poor, and proud Of
its history. Greenfield folks prided
themselves on being ordinary Ameri-
cans. immigration had hardly
touched them, for there was only one
factory, and the French Canadian
hands had something of the colonial
tradition about them.
q The Bartons and the Norrises had
lived there for fifteen years, and had
known each other for fifty. Sometimes
the elders looked at each other from
their opposite sides of the double pi.
azza and smiled, when the boy came
home, carrying the girls schoolbooks
for her, while she stepped at his side
with all the assurant ownership that
a smLll girl feels for her childish
sweetheart.
But that was years before The
change Of adolescence had set bar
rier between the young peoples lives
Frank was in the local bank now. Per
haps he earned $12 week. Ida stayed
home and helped her mother.
The thing that happened came all
in moment. The girl had pictured
1t a thousand times, the boy never;
but 1t was just as surprising to each
One moment they were friends, chat
ting together on the piazza, wonder
ing whether the rain would kill the
gypsy moths that devastated the shade
trees; and the next they were looking
at each other in amazed wonder.
What is more inarticulate than love
at twenty? The strange helplessness

Teuton places his faith In the
kaiser, the army, the navy
and Krupp. In the Krupp works, be-
cause Krupp rifles, cannon and siege
guns are the greatest In the world ad-
mittedly; while Krupp armor plate on
Germany's battleships is the most i'm.
penetrable. The house Of Krupp, as a
recent writer has said, is a national In
stitution In the Fatherland, and Its
name is almost as revered as that Of
the Hohenzollern itself. Krupp guns
and armor form a ring Of steel about
the Fatherland which It will require q
miracle, believe the Germans, to pierce.

hundred years; and now a queen and
queen consort hold sway. The heads

evolved. Mint dies, stamps for but
tons, etc, were manufactured, but. SO
small was the demand, the works could
not be kept in operation. And, soon

world that we live on a good, passa-
bic road. Nor does the government
compel the rural carrier to make his
daily rounds unless the roads are
kept in order, That is why all good
farmers see to it that the road past
their place is broken for travel after
a heavy snow storm, that it is drag
ged after a heavy rain. We want to
see the rural carrier driving along,
whether he brings us daily mail or
not. He is our connecting link with
town, city and outside world. If it
were not for him we would be iso-
lated behind snow banks, ruts and all
manner of road distractions. In view
of all this, have we been thankful
enough in the past to the rural car
rier, to whom we owe so much?
There is still time to atone for
former omissions. If it is no more
than a holiday card of greeting, no
more than a handshake and a word of
thanks, let us see to it this year, one
and all, that the debt we owe the
rural carrier is liquidated, in full or
in part We will feel better for doing
that which should have been done
long ago, and the carrier will be hap

is appreciated.

want Election Day Changed.

The United Commercial Travellers
lodges of the state are adopting reso-
lutions pledging the support of mem
bers to movement to secure the
passage of bills and constitutional
amendments, to change election day
from Tuesday to Monday.
There are 100000 travelling men in
the United States, and fully half of
these are disfranchised by their in
ability to go home for election day,
declare the U. C. T. men. If election
day were on Monday instead of Tues
day, the travellers could arrange to
be at home long eonugh to cast their
votes on Monday morning. A great
many mechanics, clerks and others
who work in some town other than
where they hold their residence
would be able to vote. The hackers
of the proposition declare that there
is no valid reason for opposing the
change. In order to give all states
time to act, the election in 1920 is the
first which it is proposed to be chang
ed from Tuesday to Monday.
Another resolutioa which was
passed was against the custom OF
tipping in hotels and public places
Such a law would certainly be a
great boone to all travellers as the
tipping nuisance is a most aggravat
ing one.

DANGERS FROM
CHRISTMAS TREES
Stale Fire Marshal Glen. P. Host
Issues important Warning
Against Xmas Trees.

tt seems important at this time to cal
attention to some Of the dangers Of the
lighted Christmas tree, because Of the
fact that muny homes and most OF the
schools have Christmas exercises and
Christmas trees.
" hen the Christmas tree is trimmed
and lighted il is nothing more or less
than a big torch, ready to be ignlted.
The tree is always an evergreen whose
twigs are full Of rOsin. 1t is trimmed
with festoons of tissue paper and
wreaths Of dry leaves which will burn
with flash. Many Of the presents are
heated and burns fercely. Other pres
ents are covered with lace or embrOid-
cry, which may be lighted by a spark
and.the paper Christmas bells, the net
ting Of which the candy bags are made,
and the dry painte,i wood in the toys,
are all easily ignited. In the excite
ment of these Christmas exercises chill
dren are sometimes difficult to control
and accidents frequently happen.
Cotton Should never be used to repre-
sent snow either on or under the tree,
because the same effect can DO obtained
by using asbestos or mineral wool, which
is safe. Care should be taken to see that
the candles are securely fastened to the
tree and SO arranged that they cannot
set fire to the branches of the tree or
the presents hung upon them. Always
extinguish the candles before beginning
to remove the gifts from the tree.
Last year number of fires and a
number Of serious accidents resulted
from not taking proper precautions in
regard to Christmas trees. Therefore,
we take the liberty to ask the newspa-
pers of the state to aid in the publicity
of the following:
CHRISTMAS TREE DON'TS.
Don't leave the lighted tree un-
watched.
Don't put cotton beneath the tree to
make the carpet look like snow covered
ground.
Don't let children touch the tree
Don't use festo0ns OF ordinary tissue
paper'or cOtton batting on tree.
Don't use ornaments made of cellu-
loid.
Dan't remove presents from the tree
until the candies are all extinguished.
Don't permit draft of air to sway the
hrancnes of the tree while candles are
lighted.
Christmas i, intended to be time of
JOY and good cheer; and hearts should
not be satIdrned on this sacred day by
the burning of homes or the injury to
loved ones through carelessness, when
proper fore-thought and vigilance will
surrey avoid such disasters.

Cattle Epidemic Costs $4,000.

With twenty-one herds in Wiscon-
sin wiped out by the foot and mouth
disease, the epidemic is now under
control, according to State Veterin-
arian o. H. Ellason. All affected
herds have been killed with the eX-
ception of one near Delavan just dis
covered. In this herd there are
twenty-five cattle and they will be
killed Immediately. Only three cases
have been brought to- the attention
of the authorities in the last seven
days and DR.. Ellison believes the
snow and cold will tend to check the
disease The twenty-one herds in
Wisconsin contained from dozen to
sixty head each, and DR.. Ellason esti-
mates the value of the animals
slaughtered at $4,000. The disease
existed in the counties: Dane, Brown,
Langlade, Lincoln, Rock, Waukesha
Racine, Kenosha, Walworth, Jefferson
and Green.

lowing an inquiry received from a
