4 CLAUSE IN THE TREATY.

Have YOU ever thought about the
food of books that will be foisted upon
the public at the close of the war!
Can't you imagine yourself answering
a violent pull of the bell. and man
stands before you with an open book
in his hands, saying, while he shuffles
the pages: "The first book from the
press: the most complete story of the
terrible war; most vivid illustrations;
all about the storming of the Dar-
danelles; and a picture of the sinking
Bleucher. The entire set of forty
nine volumes sells for $S4. You pay
81 down, and 81 a month until they
are paid for?"
Can't you imagine the lot of dull,
insipid, incorrect novels that will fol-
low in the wake of the war?
Why not have a clause inserted in
the peace treaty granting that only
one book may be written about the
war, and that one may not exceed 125
volumes in length?

THE POSSIBILITIES OF FOOD.

A new theory asserts that it is the
hunger of rose for certain chemicals
from among all those placed before it
which makes it a rose and even
gives it its color. Likewise, if an ap-
pie had taste for something else
than that for which it really has a
taste it would not be an apple but
peach, or a yam, or cactus, or
some other thing.
We take it then that a Bostonian is
a Bostonian because he likes beans.
Just suppose for moment that for
some unaccountable reason he likes
hominy instead of beans. He would
no longer be a Back Bayian but a
true Missourian. Think of the conse-
quences if he had a deep instructive
desire for watermelon and chicken.
Great are the possibilities of food.
If you are not satisfied with your po-
sition in life simple little change
of diet (boarders excepted) will open
to you a new career.

WASHINGTON MEN BEST SHOTS
Western Rifle Team Wins Shooting
TOurney-M. U. Does Not Compete.

The annual intercollegiate Shoot
ing Tournament to determine the gal
lery championship for 1915 among uni
versities was won, this year, by Wash
ington State College. The aggregate
score for this team in eleven matches
was 10,S49 out of a possible 10000.
The percentage was 1852
The University of Missouri, which
has competed in former years was not
entered this year. Lieutenant Charles
McH. Eby commandant, said he felt it
was waste of time to try to get a
team in shape here because the
facilities for indoor practice are very
poor. He said he was certain that
there were men in the University who
were just as good shots as could be
found in any other school but that it
required lot of training and a good
place and equipment to make a good
rifle team.

Mr.. Hall is the largest individual
owner of elephants on the globe-and
he controls the market on elephants
in the western hemisphere. He feels
no special pride in owning thirty of the
big brutes at one time. The elephant
kings fondness of gems of massive

for his kindness of heart to children

WHEAT IN WAR TIMES.

For several months every day has
been showing an average of a million
bushels of wheat starting across the
Atlantic Under the influence of war
excitement the price of wheat jumped
to record marks, and still the Euro
pean powers continued to buy. The
farmers began to rejoice at the pros
pect.
When the news came in the latter
part of February that the Allies had
made successful attack on the outer
forts of the Dardanelles, and the i'm
preston was created that the straits
would be forced, some of their dreams
were shattered. The apprehension
that Russia's stores of wheat would
soon come from the Black Sea to
swamp the market led to a sensation
dl Idil III pIlCeS uG uTSI week III
March showed a loss of more than
80 cents a bushel from the highest
price. 1t was something like hot
wind just before the harvest.
But the Dardanelles didn't fall so
readily after all. 1t has been two
months since the Queen Elizabeth
drew the attention of the world to
the Turkish forts. Then, last years
crop i'm Russia, and in Hungary and
Roumania as well, was a short one.
The Russian government would prob
ably discourage any immense move
ment of foodstuffs. Anyway S1.6O

Or like the rainbow's lovely form

LUSITANIA WITNESS is HELD
Heinz Hsrdenberg Arrested by Federal
Officials at Cincinnati-Taken to
New York.

Cincinnati, July 2-Heinz Harden
berg, who several weeks ago was sum-
moned TO appear before the Federal
grand jury at New York to give testi-
mony in the Lusitania affidavit case
and who disappeared after being taken
to that city, was taken in custody on
the street here by special agents of
the department of justice.
Hardenberg, according to the Off
GERS, said he had come to Cincinnati
to seek work. The Federal officers
said he told them he left New York
without appearing before the grand
jury because he feared the condemna-
ton of his fellow countrymen. Harden
berg was held as a material witness.
He was taken to New York. Harden
berg is expected by the government
to impeachs the testimony of Gustav
Stahl, who in an affidavit said he had
seen guns mounted on the Lusitania
when she sailed from New York on
her last voyage.

The American government declares
that inasmuch as Germany has admit

courier who left the Mexican capital

lacking Carranza forces under General
Pablo Gonzales. Gonzales hads been
driven back with considerable loss and
