Things to Remember II You Are Lost
in the Woods

A contributor to the current issue of
g Farm and Fireside' calls attention
to the following things, which anybody
lost in the woods ought to know:
Il thought every woodsman and
guide knew that by going downhill you
are sure to come up en- stream of water
which will in turn lead to settlement.
Furthermore, in our day nearly every.
body depends on watch instead of
sighting the sun. When the hour
hand points toward the sun the point
midway between the hour hand and II
o clock will be due south.
Another little woodcraft trick is
that of carrying a supply of matches in
a largemouthed bottle. When fitted
with tight cork the matches are sure
to be kept dry, even though you have

A Bankers Advice to Young Men

farm, and at actual work too. At the
age of fifty. and after twenty-five years
of banking and connections with

gray hairs to tell tales of worry, and
np wrinkles to betray the approach of
time. Day after day | have labored
over long column of figures, discussed
the money market with my business

'What great pity to see Young men
and young women marching to the citv
to be swallowed up with thousands of
other pieces of human machinery "a
slaves to big business. There is no wav
of convincing those unfortunate human
beings that they are wrong, until it is
TOO late. A few months away from the

cowbells or see the great motion pic

UNCLE HARRY Tells ABOUT THE WAR UP TO date

Belgium soil and the soldiers of the
two sides are stretched out in long
battle line that extends along the east
ern border of France from Switzerland
up into Belgium. If you will look at
the map of Europe in your Biographies
you I'll see exactly where the armies are
and where the battles are being
fought.
How about the war in Poland and
Austriaf' asked Jimmy.
''Both sides have won big victories,
said Uncle Harry, "ibut the Austrians,
who are the allies of Germany, have
suffered the worst defeats. -
\, "Have there been many battles
during the winteri' asked Joe.
"Not so many as were fought last
fall, and as will be fought this spring" "
said Uncle Harry. "The cold weather
with the winter SHOWS and ice made
it difficult for the soldiers to travel,
So the war moved very slowly during
December, January and February. But
now with the coming of spring both
sides are decidedly more active. Some
people believe that the war will be end
ed before summer is over, and cer-
tainly hope SO"
"How about the navies; have there
been any big fights between the war
shipsf" inquired Joe.
GA few, but not as many as were
expected when the war started said
Uncle Harry. England and France
have so many warships that Germany
has not thought it wise up to the pres
ent time to risk sending many of her
battleships and cruisers out to meet the
ships of the allies. The German sub
marines, however, have been very sue
cessful and have destroyed number of
British and French ships.
"The Turks are still holding Con-
stantinople against the attacks of the
British and the French ships in the
Straits of the Dardanelles and there
has been no fighting of any kind in
the Far East, since Japan captured
the one German fort in China.
$50 you see, boys, the war situation
right now is something like a pair Of
weighing scales, with one pound
weight on one side and a pound of
sugar On the other side-they are bal
ancing. A teaspoonfrl of sugar or an
ounce weight would turn the scales
either way. The war news during the
next few months is expected to be very
important. Germany may add the tea
spoonful of sugar and tip the scales
in her favor or the allies may add the
ounce weight and tip the scales in their
favor. III try to keep posted on the
really important. developments of the
war and tell you fellows about them.

"That is also difficult to answer"
