FORMS FOLLOWED
 IN DRAWING UP OF WILLS

The filing of their wills with the Ger man consul at Messina by the captains and officers of the cruisers Goeben and Breslau brings up the question of the le- gality of wills made by seamen and sol forms required by laymen, says the Springfield Republican.
 The statutes of wills in force in Great Britain provide that wills of soldiers in actual military service and of sailors are subject to special legislation, but this privilege applies only to wills of personal estate. Wills of petty officers and sea men in the navy and of marines as far as relates to their pay or prize money, must be attested by an officer, and wills made by a seaman in the merchant serv- ice must, if made at sea, be attested by the master or mate and if made on land by a superintendent of a mercantile ma rine office, a minister of religion, justice of the peace or consular or customs of ficer.
 The effects of seamen. marines and sol diers killed or dying in the British serv- ice are exempt from the regular duty. and if they amount to less than $500 they are not probated. In the case of pris- oners of WI wills are subject to special regulations
 Onuer the fTeucn law, dccOTulng to the encyclopedia, nuncupative or oral wills are not recognized. but soldiers and sail ors' wills are subject to special rules. as in most other countries. In Germany there is a provision that the formalities may be relaxed in certain cases. such as imminent death, prevailing epidemic. state of siege. The wills of the German naval officers might come under this classification. as the cruisers were pre- pairing to run out through the English fleet, which was reported to be lying in wait for them off the harbor.

From the National Monthly.
 Captain Lawson was owner and pilot of the packet New Orleans, plying the Mississippi broke banks. There were miles of rushing waters. Only an experi- enced eye could tell the channel. Cap tain Lawson had been at the wheel for 36 hours. He was exhausted from loss of sleep. Rastus, a colored pilot aboard, was called to the captain.
 Do you see that north star?'' asked the captain.
 Vas, boss"
 Well. hold this boat on that star. -

 When the captain awoke an hour later his boat was winding in and out among the trees. The captain was indignant. 'I thought told you to hold this boat on the north star!' he cried.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1914-08-20

In a resume of the war and the effects it may have on the Unit ed States we cannot but see that it will put us at the very fore most of Nations as to exports, and it might be termed a Golden
 Year for the American Farmer.
 With it's bumper crop the
 United States can export as much as 400. .000, 900 bushels of wheat, and probably may spare at least 200, 900, 900 bushels of corn, with, out creating serious inroads up- on our domestic supply. Canada and India alone will be our prin- cipal competitors during the next
 four months, as not until then
 will Argentinas new crop be a. yailable. The cotton mills of the south may profitable run day and night to convert into cloth the raw staples which are excluded from the German market. The United States will be called upon to supply great quantities of oth- CT manufactures, not only to the nations now at war, but also to other countries heretofore de- pendent on England, Germany, or France for such manufactures.
 Thus if the ensuing twelve months are enterprizingly utiliz- ed by farmers, manufacturers, bankers and the general public, the United States may within a year leap into as commanding position in the worlds commerce as she might otherwise attain some years hence.
 Whether the war is long or short, its ultimate effect will be disastrous upon credits, prices, | and industries in the United and Europe. Inevit- ably the rest of the world. includ- ing the United States, will have to share in the depression that must ultimately follow the "cos- metic catastrophe now in pro- gross.

This was the first of this new

asks that all persons who have
any of this new barrel on hand
destroy it and get some more
from the new barrel which will
certainly be right. DR.. Earl has
prepared similar solutions in all

results have followed. A few
