THE promenade along tho exposed side

the bank Of the Aisne. held In force by
I the French. gave a rather uncanny feel
ing OF Insecurity. However, Il was less
dangerous than Il seemed. as a slight

also made Il impossible TO ascertain 10
what extent Scissors had suffered under
bombardment.
The battlefield is ssnl dotted with
carpaes by the hundred, principally OF
French soldiers. who fell during their
hasty retirement from the trenches. They
had TO cross open fields under artillery
and infantry fire, and death overlook
some az they ran. The positions OF the
bodies show that most Of the French
soldiers retired fightlns, although some
OF them fell on their faces asthey were

On the walk back to work he al

these bulls, ancestors-to-be OF q

"Dual-purpose" means high

The exercises have done

say so right out, but by in
ference. For instance:

.'You wouldn't think, dear
class, would you, that Mt the
age of ~ daddy was a flat
chested, spindle-shanked in
valid, who couldn't walk
three city blocks? That was
more than 80 years ago."
The clerks behind the counters
under the platform were willing
and anxious to serve. You could
buy a set of books for $40, or you
could pay a dollar down.. and the
rest in installments, and the books
would be sent to you on payment
of the last installment.
Or you could buy booklets vari-
ously priced.
Or you could buy bottles OF

tic quality not found in ordinary

washinst ton. Sept. 3. Prominent
Illinois politicians who arrived here
today declared there YVES strong Cum

versions Of the situation are significant
and point to the fact that Senator
Cummins may have. q greater strength
in the convention than it is generally
supposed he will have.
It is stated Congressman James
Mann, who wants the presidential
nomination. has little real support
thru Illinois outside his own district.
AS to Senator Sherman, it Is said any
support given him as a favorite son OF
Illinois will be perfnnctory.
Partially in explanation of the sup
port Of Cummins In Illinois 1t is said
that organizations Of shippers. tnclud-
ing live stock men, recognize the TACT
that no man in congress has done SO
much for interstate commerce legisla-

1t is recognized here. as entirely pos

ment in Illinois for Cummins may
have great weight in the convention as
no man is going into the convention
with majority. In fact each candi-

than week ago.
County Engineer NJ. L. Howard,
under whose supervision the work
was done, made a hasty inspection
trip over portion of the road extend
Inc from the end Of tho Upper Broad
way paving to Crescent and found the
road In better shape, just as left by
the grading contractors, than the ordi-
nary dirt road after dragging. He said
that after shower or two. followed by
the road drags the highway will be in
much better shape than at present.
The grading was done by steam
tractor-and the added power made pos
sible much better cutting Of banks and
easier filing Of low places. Engineer
Howard and the board Of supervisors
are enthusiastic over the possibilities
OF the tractor as road implement and
declare that the cost of grading is less
than $50 a mile, on the average, and
the work immensely better than is pos
sible with horse drawn graders. The
condition OF the Lincoln highway
shows this to be the fact.

klNSEY SIGNS WITH ISBELL.
Nevada Amateur, With Remarkable
Record, to Try Out With Des Moines.

Speclal TO lmeS-RepuDllCan.
Nevada, Sept. 3-Earl kinsey, who
graduated from the Nevada high school
with the class of 1915, and who yes
terday signed a contract with Mana
ger Isbeli, of the Des Moines team OF
the Western League, has made Il phe-
nomenal record cas- an amateur and
semi-pro twirler. kinsey began play
ing ball with the amateur teams about
this part of the state before he left
the grades, played fast ball in high
school circles and at the close of school
this year went up to Bancroft where
he made record for himself that at
tracted scouts from over the country.
Two weeks ago, when up against the
fast All Nation team. he was defeated
in fourteen innings, 2 to 1. but last
Sunday he held the team to a single hit
and won his game to 0. kinsey had
planned a college career, probably fol-
lowed later by a baseball career and
some Of his friends regret that he did
not abide by that idea instead of sign
ing with league team which will
forestall his baseball in college.
