No sooner said than done Scouts
reported a train about to depart for
the chosen realm. On the signal of
leaving the yards, the ,ramps adj
vanced double quick and stormed a
car. The train crew caused the engi-
neer to stop. No use. The tramps
answered threat with threat. argu-
ment with menace. Reversing, the en-
gineer backed the train to the station.
The police were called. A squad ap-
peared, armed. The tramps produced
firearms. Discretion was deemed the
better part of valor by the police. 1t
was suggested that the train proceed.
The train did. Hence the cheers.
Half hearted efforts to disloige the
army from its fort were made at
Cofeyylle and Bartlesville. But the
tramps held their own, reports say,
and at last accounts were still speed
ing towards the gulf.

In respect Of speed and m0bln., the
Zeppelin is no match for the a,ru-
plane and its chances of success would
be small We're attacks made in .he
light Of day In consequence these
ventures are usually attempted under
cover of darkness, the ZoppeIins .m-
ing their flight oyre the North sea so
as to reach England late az night. To
prevent them from finding their way
IN the darkness elaborate police resu-
!Nuons have been adopted In London
and elsewhere. particularly I'm regard
To eNtInguishing lights. Another pre-
caution is the censorship regulation
against publication of accounts Of the
raids other than those issued officially.
These official statements eliminate ali
reference TO the precise locations at-
tackled lest the Germans might learn
from them details which would guide
them in future.

sequence Of the war, is flourishing as
never before. The publishers are
sending large quantities-unabridged
editions, including the Book Of Eze-
kiel, not only to the Allies, but to the
Teutonic nations also.
American-made Bibles are being
shipped, too, to the South African and
Australian markets. Everywhere, &C
cording to the publishers, the demand
for the American articles Is unprece-
dentedly large. 1t Is estimated that
the increase over the best previous
year is about SO per cent. And the
Bibles are not only being purchased
/ by missionaries for foreign auxiliaries
Of the Gideons, but by the great pub
lie abroad. Other nations are handi-
capped in their ability to publish, so
the whole world is looking to this
country for its supply.
At home, too, more people are read
ing-or, at least buying-Bibles than
ever before. The Gideons, the best
single customer, buy $4,000 year to

SERVCE--That's It

It is a well known fact that when IL
comes to Fire Insurance, there is no
difference in the rate charged per
500 by all the reputable companies.
but It is a fact that the rate charged
by agents who are not on the 5ob-the
kind who are writing insurance prin.
cipaIly for the commission-couid
often be reduced materially II certain
changes were made and the agent VINO
knows, and is not In the business SOLE
ly for commissions, will, at least ad-
wise his clients how rate can be re-
duced. Service Of this kind is and has
always been my specially, and have
saved hundreds Of dollars for my
clients. Some Of them, in fact the
majority, have appreciated 1t, but some
have not but will continue tho policy
because 1t Is right. I do not ask for
business on any other ground than
value received. One OF the most seri-
GUS handicaps Of the business is that
after q minimum rate has been Sc
cured and policies issued correctly, the
novice can issue a policy just as well
as the expert, and some insufees VIII
give him business from various
motives.
MUTUAL BENEFIT INSURANCE
What has been said Of Fire Insur-
lance above does not apply to Life In
surance. No agent can give you as
much for your money in Life Insur-
ance as I can in a Mutual Benefit
Policy and I can prove this claim to
your satisfaction II you will ask to
be shown. Wise people look before
they leap.
