clude China in the entente Allies tc
prevent disagreement between Japan
and China after the war. Japan has
not been informed officially of the ne

The entente is acting now, not only
because of China's proposal to estab

jects, but also because of propaganda
being sent out from German centers
in China arousing India.
Comments in Japanese newspapers

HELM COMMITS SUICIDE

A. P. Helm, serving four years in
the penitentiary, terminated his term
of imprisonment Monday when he
leaped head foremost into one of the
machines used in the penitentiary
Irvine plant and was instantly killed.
1t was between 8 and 10 O'Clock
and the men were busy with their
work when Helm turned to one of
his fellow workmen and simply re-
marked: "Here | CO." With no fur
Their warning he leaped into the ma
chinery and the top of his head was
ground to pieces and he received
other injuries to the arms and upper
part of the body before the machin-
cry could be stopped.

tiary and had only been an inmate of
the institution for a number of

SPEED THE pLoW

Grant County Review: Farmers
all over this country are being urged
to seed every acre possible this year
and it would seem that the farmers of
Grant county and South Dakota will
do well to heed this advice. There is
every aso to believe that millions
of acres which in former years have
been producing a portion of the
worlds crops will remain untitled or
unharyested this year and If such
should be the case the American
farmers are pretty sure to receive
good prices for all they can produce.
With Europe destroying instead of
producing some one must do the pro-
ducing and the American farmers
viii do their share of it. There should
not be an acre of tillable soil left un-
cultivated this year. Corn is going
to be in demand as we'll as wheat and
other grains and the corn acreage in
in this section will likely be greater
than ever before.

REMARKABLE PARALLEL
BETWEEN NAPOLEON
AND WELLINGTON.
BY A. w. MACY.

There is a marvellous parallel,
or likeness, between the lives of
Napoleon R%onaparte and the
Duke Of Wellington. Napoleon
was born in Corsica, an island
near the coast Of France; Wet
iineton was born in ireland, an
island near the coast of Eng
land. Both were born the same
year, 1869. Each lost his father
when he was sixteen years old.
The mother OF each was left
with a large family OF children,
In poor circumstances. Each
had four brothers and three sis
ters. Both attended military
school in France at the same
time. They became lieutenant
colonies within n day OF each
other. Both were good mathe-
maticians, and fond of figures.
Both are said 20 have borne a
remarkable physical resem-
blance to Julius Caesar. and If
this is true they must have re-
sembled each other. Each be-
came a great soldier, and the
commando OF an immense
army. But at Waterloo one be-
came thc sictcr and the other
the .f7rr iaheci.
