ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
M1L1r1AMAN,s LAMENT

 The gentle art of soldering We've started out to learn, Regardless of our blistered feet And hearts that fondly yearn For all the comforts of the homes We've promised to defend, We're feeling quite heroic-but, Will this drill never end? Our guns must weigh ton at least, We're tired enough to drop, Our bodies ache in every bone, And yet we dare not stop. Time was we danced the whole night

HER WORDS CAME TRUE

From the Vancouver World.
 The squad had been particularly stupid, and the drill sergeant was exasperated. After vainly attempting to induce them to execute some movements he gave the order, Stand at easel" Addressing them seriously, he said 'I remember when I was a small boy I had set of toy soldiers made of lead and tin.

HOTEL LOBBIES
Treasurer,s Work Arduou.

T am beginning to learn that there is something more than honor in being u reasurer of the Chamber of Commerce" said E. B. Crawford, assistant cashier of the American Trust and Savings bank, yesterday. T am treasurer of number of companies and corporations, some of which are more or less honorary. but the posi- ton I hold with the Chamber of Com merce seems to involve a considerable amount of work. I have'to handle all monies coming in as well as all monies being paid out and in an organization the size of the Chamber of Commerce, that means quite a bit.
 Since the adoption of the new consti- tuition and bylaws of the Chambe CT, 8 much more systematic business arrange ment has been inaugurated and every thing connected with the finance of the organization is handled like the affairs of a big business corporation. Several men have to sign all the vouchers and all the officials who handle the funds of the chamber are under bond"

THE VOICE OF KIPL1NG

From the New York Globe
 The silence of Kipling has been ex- plained as involuntary He savagely perhaps unjustly, attacked conspicuous British minister. and. following this on- slaught, there was refusal of special privileges to him at the front.
 But at last the embargo has apparently been lifted. The greatest master of Eng fish prose and the man in all the British empire best qualified to inspire the Brit ish people and to win neutral favor has been allowed access to the reports of British submarine commanders who have been operating in the waters between Sweden and Germany. The result is some plain tales from the Baltic that rival in appeal his famous tales from things shines out. In less than a column Kipling is able to tell a story that few who read 1t are likely to forget. A fact is a fact, but as De Quincy has made clear there is difference betwen the literature of fact and the literature of power. Viscount Bryce is an excellent man, much admired in this country, but one can imagine how different would have been the report concerning the atrocities of Belgium if Kipling had penned it.
 A defect of the British government is that the men in charge of it do not fully understand the people they lead. Else they would not have kept Kipling, wrath ful and resentful, in his country home. He would have been mobilized early. It is possible that if his pen had been employed Great Britain could have boast ed after the war that she did not find it necessary to resort to conscription.

Value of Tick Eradication

"Again have southern cattle brought top notch prices in the East St. Louis stock yards,' said T. S. Melbourne, of Mississippi. "A Marshall county, Miss, herd recently disposed of there attracted unusual attention on account of the splendid weight and form of the cattle. They were out of common Mississippi COWS by pure-bred Angus bulls, and the owner, w. H. Hurdle. an Angus breeder, says they were raised and fattened for the market on grains and other feed produced on his own farm. They brought s9. 75 and S10 per hundred pounds. There is money in such prices, especially where the cattle man provides his own feed stuff.
 Such men as MT. Hurdle are indepen- dent. They command fair price for what they produce There are more and more of them in Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia each year adding to their own and the wealth of their states Can a sensible man read about them and fail to realize the benefit of the tick eradica- tiOn Vat?'

Dunbar Hens Help
Ladies Aid With
Easter Offering

The ladies of the Strand Lutheran
church at Dunbar have enlisted the aid
of their chickens in collecting money
for missions. AT the meeting OF the
missionary society, held Wednesday
afternoon, report was given showing
that the ladies contributed SASS for
their Easter offering towards missions.
Rev. o. Ingvoldstad. Of this city, who
Is also pastor of the Strand church.
inquired how the money was raised.
by means Of the chickens" the ladies'
replied. &
Visions Of the good ladies killing
their choice hens and dutifully sacri-
ficing them for missions in heather
lands came before Rev. Mr.. Ingyoid-
stad. These were speedily dispelled,
however. when the ladies informed him
that they had merely sold sixty eight
and one-haif dozen eggs and given
the proceeds to the church. More
than that. those sixty eight and one
half dozen eggs were all laid in one
day, and Easter DAY at that. z.-, ~. ~
The ladies of the society had agreed
to contribute to missions the proceeds
from all eggs laid on Easter day. Altho
they declare the hens had no special
knowledge OF this decision. yet the fact
remains that some several hundred
chickens in the twelve families came
thru nobly on Easter Sunday with a
total of SO eggs, which Melted the sum
of sl2.S3. One set of hens. however,
evidently misunderstood the instruc-
tions. and laid great many more on
Easter Monday than on Easter day.
This oversight was overlooked, as the
same hens had done fairly we'll the
day before. Provided too many calls
are not made on the Dunbar hens for
such extraordinary results. the aid So
ciety feels that it has a source of rev.
enue which may be safely counted
upon to produce results most any time.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces You can get
this at any drug store. and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an album
dance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quie ky and evenly and is
soft, fresh looking. bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides. it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust.
