Real Meaning of Misused Term In the
 Vocabulary of War.

Real Meaning of Misused Term In the
 Vocabulary of War.
 In the tales of every war one hears Il great deal about "forlOrn hopes The term is one of the most misused in the voca bulary of war 1t is common iy understood to mean desperate ven ture. It really means Host troop that is. "detached troop"
 The word "hope" in the phrase is not an English but Dutch word. "hoOp" meaning literally heap" and second arily body of troops, The word "for Iorn" represents the Dutch "verloren" lost 'verloren hoop was a de tached body of troops thrown out i'll front of the main line of battle to find the enemy and engage them first. This was the regular sixteenth and seven teenth century practice. and. though 1t was one of the more dangerous kinds of service. it was not desperate or, in the English sense, forlOrn
 Nowadays much the same work is done by the detached bodies of cavalry which are thrown out before the main line of battle without communications or supplies to find the enemy "Capit ulation" is another term of war which Is very loosely used 1t does not mean surrender. but surrender on terms.

WINDS THAT WHISTLE.
The Sounds Come Only When the Air
 Waves Meet Resistance.

no SounoS como Oniy when tho AIT Waves Meet Resistance. Did you ever notice that although you may feel the force of the wind when you are out in it, you do not hear It whistle unless you are close to d building? This is because the sound is produced according to the same prin. ciples as apply to the production of the tones of pipe organ or any instru. ment on which the tones are produced by blowing.
 In order to make the whistlins sounds we hear from the wind it is necessary for it to blow against some hing. That is why we hear it when we Ire in the house or some other building. The whistling is caused by the wind blowing past the sharp edge of some obstacle in it's path or finding its way through small openings offering some sharp edged resistance.
 If you blow through a long tube or tpipe you will produce no sound, but if there is an opening with sharp edge near the end where you blow the blow. ing will cause distinct sound. It is on this principle that all small whistles.
 nrgan pipes and wind instruments of
 m orchestra are made.
 Another way in which the wind pro. duces sounds is by blowing against ob jects which vibrate. A curious in, stance of this is the humming volume of sound produced by the wind blow. ing through group of telegraph wires and which may be noted. even when there is not great force of wind, by placing the ear against telegraph pole.

MILITARY STRATEGY.

Why More Is Gained by Woundins
 Than by Killing an Enemy. In letter to the Army and Navy Journal retired army officer says that DO intelligent soldier will fire dun dunn or an explosive bullet at the en emy. for they both kill.
 The object of the rifleman is not to kill an enemy. but to wound him. "A dead man is simply one soldier los, from his army. He is not burden to any one. A wounded soldier must bt taken care of. Four wounded soldiers must have an ambulance with two horses and an ablebodied soldier driver
 Thirty wounded soldiers must have a surgeon. hospital steward and ten or a dozen able bodied soldiers to aid the doctor and wait upon and nurse the wounded men. The ambulances block the roads and delay the troops. espe cially the artillery and the supply wagons
 "When man IS hurt every one is anxious to get him at once to doctor If the troops on the tiring line are nol well disciplined and soldier Is wound ed there will be three or four soldiers who are willing and anxious to carry him to the rear.
 "For every soldier wounded the firing line loses four soldiers, and hundred men wounded means that 400 men are lost to the firing line. for they never re join their regiments until the battle is over"

CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
, THROUGHOUT THE CITY

The Dodge foundry is exceptionally
busy at present. in fact more so than
at any time in the history of the COM
pany. The foundry Is filed with work
men and Is piled up with orders. Men
are being added to the force daily and
several OF the departments are work
ing overtime in order TO expedite
business. This condition of things
prevails in nearly every city industry.
In fact Mishawaka IS at present ex-
periencing an era Of prosperity which
greatly rebounds to the city's credit as
an important manufacturing center.
According to Vernon Lowe of the
Lowe Lumber Co, the building tradc
is i'm an extremely healthy condition
and II nothing happens TO disturb TIE
conditions throughout the country, an
exceptionally busy fall may be ex~
pected As is customary, hOwe'SeF.
the trade Will experience no big boom
during the warm months, although
many new residences are being erect
ed al the present time. II is gener-
ally thought. however. that the early
DAYS Of autumn will see a pronounced
stir in real estate circles in and around
the city.

said that in its effulgence OsceoIa

how IL could have existed for such
long time with it's antedeluvian sys-
TEN Of kerosene lamps. Not only has
the town acquired this great boon but
1t has also got electric power all for
itself and. of course, for any others
who may wish TO pay for it. The new
public school house is also fitted
throughout with electricity, so that
in the winter months when the COM
munity center meetings are held it
viii be possible TO see the speakers
and To read the program.
The Indiana and Michigan Electric
Co. furnished all that was necessary
to give OsceOla the place on the map
which il has been ambitious TO have
during all these years Of its existence.
The town is brilliantly lighted and is
happy IN the knowledge that IL will
henceforth have light not only by day
but by night as well. PEI IS Bros,
