with a tender light in her eyes he

"A great uncle, that Of mine!" many

past life, no prospects Of work, no
money in his pocket, Harley packed
his best clothes in a suitcase, babe
his landlady good-by and proceeded to
the street. There was a grim uncom-

proceeded to a secondhand clothing

ri STOPS WASHING
Loss of Surface Soil by
Prompt Sowing.

The heavy rains of the last
summer have shown the great
injury TO land which may be
brought about through soil
washing. Unfortunately, this
washing will continue during
the fall and winter on all rolling
lands which are left bare. Stalk
fields are especially subject to
fall and winter erosion, and
there is much of this land every
year which is allowed to stand
untouched during the fall and
winter. Efforts should be made
to sow some clover crop on such
land where possible. The use of
cover crops is one of those prin-
ciples of soil conservation which
farmers on rolling lands must
learn to practice.
Rye is undoubtedly the best
cover crop for Missouri condi-
lions as shown by the exper-
fence of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. The man
who has never used rye to pre-
vent washing will be surprised
at the way in which its roots
hold the soil. Even half a BUSH
ell of rye sown broadcast and
narrowed in during September
will give striking effects, al
though a bushel or a bushel
and a half is better. The pas
ture, received from such a crop
will pay well for the seed and
labor, 50 that the prevention of
soil washing costs practically
nothing.
Wheat and barley give an eff
feet similar to that of rye and
the pasture secured is practi-
cally as good but for average
conditions rye is to be prefer
red. Rye is somewhat harder
than either wheat or barley and
may be sown somewhat later
if wanted only for soil binding.

Will Distribute 100000 Red
Cross Christmas Seals.

Two hundred million Red
Cross Christmas Seals are now
being printed and distributed by
the American Red Cross and The
National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, according to a state
ment issued by the latter organi-
cation today. The proceeds from
the sale Of these seals will 60 for
the fight against tuberculosis in
the communities where the seals
are sold.
The organization Of the Red
Cross Seal sale this year will
take in every state and territory
of the United States, including
Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the Ca
nal Zone. By December LIST,
over 100000 workers, men,
women and children, will be en-
gagged in the campaign.
The sale in 1914 broke all pre-
vious records, totaling over 55,-
100000 seals, an increase of %
per cent over 1918. After de-
Quoting all expenses, this left
nearly 100000 for tuberculosis
work in this country. The money
has been and is being expended
by over 1000 different agencies
who benefited from the sale il
amounts ranging from 500 OF
less to over $4,000. The Ameri,
can Red Cross announces that il
will continue its previous sue
cessful policy of charging only
10 per cent of the gross proceeds

FAITHFUL TO HIS MASTER
Won Buelow's Chef Not One Who
Would Desert Him in His
"Tlme Of Misery"

Prince Buelow, whom the kaiser
sent to Rome on what has proved to.
be a disastrous special mission, has
a rund Of anecdotes, and has been
heard to tell this amusing story, IN
which the "all-highest' plays a leading
part. Some years ago, when he was
retiring from the Enthusiastically at
Rome to take up the post of chancele
lor Of the empire, he summoned his
cook. a veritable Gordon bleu, to tell
him Of the change. I'VE shall not live
in our present grand STYLE he said,
but on a much smaller scale. Per
haps. therefore, you would prefer to
find another place" The cook, doubt
less imagining that financial disaster
was impending, remained silent for a
few moments, then with the air Of one
about to perform a sympathetic act
replied: well, e%xcellency, / am
grieved at hearing such melancholy
new but / shall remain in your serv-
ice. Whatever may happen to you, !
would not for worlds have It said
I had deserted you in your time Of
misery" At dinner n evening the
prince told the story to the kaiser, who
had had personal experience Of the
culinary chefs skill. and was highly
amused at the princes anecdote. So
interested, indeed, did the emperor
feel in the cook that shortly afterward
he sent the worthy fellow q handsome
gold watch, on the I'D Of which was
engraved the one word Misery" by
which name his majesty ever after
ward laughingly spoke Of and ad'
dressed him.

EYESIGHT INFLUENCE
CHARACTER
Acting Dean Of School of Medi-
cine of University Of Mis-
sOuri Tells How Eyestrain
Affects Children.

HOuAA LCno AADW Gy NotANhA
Affects Children.
"That farsightedness, near
sightedness, and astigmatism
do influence ones habits of life
in character ways is certain"
said Guy L. Noyes, acting dean
of the School of Medicine, re-
Gently, when asked about the
effect of eyes on children.
aside from the primary evil
dence of mere ~eyestrain common
to all types of retroactive error,
there soon shows, in some pu-
pills, a certain habit of mind that
we associate with nearsighted-
ness. The zone of perfect vision
in nearsightedness is always less
extensive than in the normal
condition of sight. With an in
creasing degree of nearsighted-
ness the zone becomes more and
more restricted until, in what
might be called a moderate de-
gree Of nearsightedness, a child
may see nothing clearly and dis
tinctly beyond the length of his
arm.
Having no experience with
normal seeing the child with
poor vision assumes that he sees
as well as the others, indeed, he
often insists that he can see
very well. But he only sees well
the things within his limited
zone of vision. He has never
seen trees in blossom or in full
leaf as the normal child has,"
Doctor Noyes says that as a re-
suit of this very Instructed zone
of vision a near sighted child
who does not wear glasses grad
ually loses interest in games and
sports that require good dis
tance seeing and becomes a close
student of books, often leading
his classes. He is then encourage
ed by his teacher and he clings
to the work that he does success
fully and abandons entirely the
normal out of door sports and
life to the detriment of his eyes.
Doctor Noyes says that a child
may not become aware of the
condition of his eyes until he has
stumbled on the trouble through
a tardy medical inspection in
school.
AT ten or twelve years the in
formation may come too late"
says Dr.. Noyes. "Al the terri
BILE ruin Of progressive near
sightedness may have consumed
the delicate retinal elements in
sufficient degree to have de-
stroyed a measure of vision be-
yond all hope of cure or neutral
ization by glasses"
Regular systematic medical in.
spection of school children and
the use of properly adjusted and
fitted glasses, are advocated bv
Doctor Noyes.

German Prisoners Fear Russian
Winter.
Already the nip of the coming
winter is in the air and the specter of
1912 leers behind every German sol
dier today. When a group of German
prisoners was met on the road
marching eastward the first ques-
tions asked as they gazed apprehen-
sively at the landscape, gray and
desolate beneath the leaden sky, were
of Russian winter, when it would
fall and how long it would endure.
The swarms of refugees pouring
eastward are veritable missionaries,
preaching hatred of the enemy and
the necessity of fighting to finish.
With each successive wave which
sweeps eastward the determination
of the peasantry increases.
The German soldiers realize that
the hatred against them is growing
daily in every peasant hut from the
front to Moscow, and in the face OF
the willingness of these simple peo-
pie to continue the war to the point
of determination, their dreams of
ultimate success, if still cherished by
them. must have been rudely shat
tered.
