 in The train. There were but two that

 did Pull out, two hundred souls waved
 cheerily, Yet to abide till fate should give them
 leave 2, To start. More perfect day there
 never was! O'erhead were skies of deepest blue.
 And in The wheat just ripe for harvest, poppies
 red Made bright the scene. In many little A slight most pitiful it was to see Young men about to start for war, bid
 ding Farewell to relatives. We passed by
 fields All filled with every sort of motor
 truck, For army use. In early afternoon We smelled the salt, sea air, and on a
 slope Which met the waters edge, lay British
 camps. We'd reached Boulogne at last, and
 near, our ship At anchor rode. Confusion reigned
 supreme. Were our credentials good ? Thank fate.
 they were. By Fortunes grace we stood, at length,
 on deck, With anxious hearts we left the shore. Were mines Awaiting us? We saw French subma- rines Patrolling round. The cliffs of Dover | to The north we spied. The hour from France Across was quickly spent. Ships bells
 rang out, And stewards called, Americans to right And all the British subjects to the left. Have passports ready, every one, to

 While l am writing about the cute little animals man on horse back comes rushing along side of the train. He is almost hidden from view by the dust from his Bronco's feet, and the way that fellow is going would make your hair stand on end. He is making an honest effort to corrall big herd of wild horses that have been frightened by the pufhng of the approaching train and 1t almost makes one desire to get off and help him, but such a thing would be out of the question for to be on foot would mean to be trampled to death by the frightened herd and to ride horse like the one he has would be next to impossible for an unsophisti- cated Yank. The Broncho would leave him sitting in the sand. Our train is pulling and travelling up hill and has just reached Trinidad, where we have twenty minutes for dinner. do not have to go to a restaurant for some thing to eat as my good Chicago friends made me up a box of food about the size of box car and by the way some of the passengers look when open it they must think I am making a trip around the world for there is certainly enough Tn it for such a journey. At any rate 1 am going to have a try at the Rocky Mountain grub at the next stop. We are now at the foot of the Rockies and it is going to take three engines to pull us over these noun tainS.
 The scenery here is romantic, the rocks gigantic. The stream flowing down the mountain side is dirty, and along the side of the mountain can be seen houses of abode, and the whole country looks like mud.
 It certainly does not cost much to live here as far as housing is con- cerned. and for those who have weak lungs this IS an ideal place.
 The climate here is balmy and in- vigorating, and in the distance snow can be seen on the mountain tops. Trinidad is the last place in Colorado before we cIoss the Rockies and Raton New Mexico lies at the foot of the mountain on the other side.

A stamp without mucilage may be quickly attached to an envelope by rubbing 1t on the mucilage of the en- velope when scaling. Rub the back of the stamp on the ends farthest from the point of the envelope flap. and you will find both envelope and stamp will stick well when the mucilage bottle Is not handy.

trade activities at that point. divides
the year 1914 into two periods, before
and during the war He states:
The two periods of the year are
most clearly marked in the goods in
voiced through this consulate to the
United States. For the six months
ending June 80, 1914, the declared ex-
ports exceeded the whole of the year
1918, while the remaining six months of
1914 during the war; decreased as com
pared with the similar period for 1918. -
For the whole year, five months of war
included, exports to the United States

SALICYLIC ACID
"MADE IN AMERICA" /"

Washington, Aug. Is. Especial cor.
respondence) A small industry which
was built up in this country under Re-
publican protective tariff laws was the
manufacture of salicylic acid, a basic
product used in making a number of
chemicals for pharmaceutical purposes.
For 20 years American manufacturers
of this product have fought the German
syndicate, which fixes prices on this
acid in every country of the world, ex-
cept in the United States, which is left
open as a dumping ground for the sur
plus. Prior to 1891 practically all the
salicylic acid consumed in this country
was supplied by the German Syndicate.
which kept the price up to 81. .25 a pound.
Then came the erection of a factory at
st Louis, which cut the price in half.
and the German competitors promptly
dropped to 56 cents. Under the Wilson
frees trade measure the German syndi-
cate had the American market sewed
up: Then came the Dingley law IRE
publican) which gave salicylic acid a
duty OF 10 cents a pound and the indus
try hit its stride.
By 1903 the German control of the
American market was broken, and the
product was being sold around 30 cents
a pound and the purchase price remain
ing at home. The Payne law made a
reduction of so per cent in duty. This
forced the American manufacturers to
extend themselves to the very utmost
to meet the German competition which
followed, but they were still Just about
able to hold their own. One member of
the German syndicate offered the Hen
den Chemical Works, Garfield, N. J. |
to withdraw its competition from the
American market if they would paw a
yearly indemnity of 10, 900 francs. The |
offer was promptly declined.
The Underwood law dealt the indus |
try a solar plexus by reducing the duty |
10 "a cents a pound and Immediately |
The industry in this country began to
anguish. The European war has tied
Up exports from Germany, and, for the
ime being, has acted as a prohibitive
ariff, so that American capital and

,ylic acid have had a breathing spell

AUTOMOBILISTS and SAFETY.

We find pleasure in printing the fol
lowing recommendations to automobil
lists relative to the operation of their cars
1. Be considerate.
II. Go slow; 1, Passing children ; 2.
Passing vehicles 3. Approaching cross
ings; 4. Turning corners.
III Stop: 1. At railroad crossings ; 2.
Behind standing street cars.
". Use chains on slippery pavements.
V. When in doubt go slow or stop.
They were framed by the National
Council for Industrial Safety. That or
ganization is seeking to reduce the num-
Der of automobile accidents and the NOR
tality and suffering incident to such mis-
haps. It is asserted and with truth, that
if auto drivers would obey the above rules
the columns of the newspapers would be

LONG NECK.

During the thunder storm Of August
Sth, the home of William Barto was
struck by lightning, the bolt hitting the
chimney and knocking part of it into the
roadway, and passing downward it ran
across the attic floor to the end of the
house, and tore the end wall out and then
passed to the first floor tearing large
hole in the flooring and finally passed
out the building by way of a grape arbor.
Mrs. Barto was badly stunned, but has
since recovered. Misfortune seems to
follow Mrs. Barto, for on Thursday last
while riding in their carriage with her
husband, they met an automobile, which
failed to turn out of the road until almost
in front of their horse, when it became
frightened and the team and automobile
collided. Mrs. Barto with her two-year
old granddaughter, were thrown out and
severely bruised about the arms.
