SPIES INTEREST KAISER'S SON
what Annoyed she British
Ambassador.

The conflict between England and
Germany recalls an incident of an
Illuminating character between the
Crevn Prince Frederick William and
the British ambassador at Berlin, Sir
Edward Goschen, which almost
brought 10 a sudden end a brilliant
dinner given in honor of the kaiser's
heir at the embassy in the German
capital last February.
Over the coffee Grown Prince Fred
erick William turned to Sir Edward
Goschen and demanded brusquely:
Where are your spies?
"Spies?" exclaimed the astounded
diplomat. Il cannot understand what
your highness means"
Why" returned the heir to the
throne of the empire, your two spies,
your military attache, Colonel Russell,
and your naval attache. Captain An
derson.."
Neither the military attache," firm
ly replied Sir Edward Goschen, nor
the naval attache has anything to do
in the nature of spying. ! can assert
that in the most energetic fashion.
The British government has formally
prohibited spying on the part of its
Representatives and the attache has
not sent a single report to London
which has not been examined by me. !"
Well, insisted the crown prince.
we also have military and naval at
taches, and know what their reports

The British ambassador went on to
argue the point, but the crown prince,
not even half convinced, changed the
conversation and spoke of horses.

GOODYEAR TIRES AT
4 ANTE-BELLUM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce NO war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. F. A. Sieberling, president
of the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
I'VE advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in a day crude
rubber rose in New York from So cents
per pound to much over dollar.
The New York supply was too
small to consider We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick of
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1900,
900 pounds of the finest rubber.
That big supply of rubber is now
nearly all On the way 20 the Goodyear
factory in Akron. 1t constitutes the
best of the London supply.
I'VE are using the same grade of
rubber and the same amount of it as
we always have used in these tires.
I'VE are running our factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
a day. So long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber, we shall
supply tire users at before-war prices
to the limit of our capacity"

silo but after 1t Is once built little at
tention is required to keep it in good
condition.
The stave or tub silo has become
very popular in late years because Of
the cheapness, ease and quickness
with which 1t can be built. Generally
speaking, the stave silo excels in
these three particulars, although there
may be sections of the country where
sand and gravel can be obtained at
nominal cost and where the price OF
lumber is prohibitive. Under such
conditions the concrete silo may be
cheaper. stave silos last for from five
to fifteen years, depending upon the
kind OF material used and the care
given them. Unless well anchored or
guyed, they are apt to be blown down
when empty.
The average cost for a concrete silo
OF 100 tons capacity is 1920 from one
to two hundred tons IN capicity, $34S.
The average cost of the modified Wis
ccnsin sflo OF about one hundred tons
capacity is s1S6, and that of the stave
type of 100 tons or less, $118. The
cost, Of course, varies with the local
cost OF labor and material

THE HEART OF AN UNFORTU-

God made the rich and he made the poor,

Why is that love, which was made

Unfortunate Names.

Some parents seem unable to resist
the temptation to make a joke with
the Christian names of their children.
The Somerset house registers testify
TO the existence of a Mineral Waters,
a Frosty Winter and an Alfred Day
Weeks. There is something to be said
in favor of naming children in the
order of their arrival-Primus, Secun-

well-known Canadian named Cumber
that it should have fallen to his lot
to be Quintus. His name is always
appearing in the papers as Mr. Q.

The feminine gender of boats and
ships is matter of immemorial ira
dition. People say of the Columbus,
for instance, that she will sail on
certain date, and it follows that
they may speak of her as the fleets

peoples minds, not by the name of
the ship, but by the fact that it is a
ship. The matter however, is one
of usage, and it is open to any in

Girls of this kind think they are

There is an unsettled feeling in both
hearts. How can a man expect to
make young woman happy if she
married him without love? Or, how
can a wife expect to live a satisfied
married life if she is yoked to a man
whom she care for only to the extent
of having some one to pay her bills?
Courtship is supposedly for the pur-
pose of each finding out the others
likes and dislikes, disposition, hopes
and aspirations.
No man or woman off the stage is
so clever an actor or actress as to sue
