GOLD CORD A WAR PERIL
Heavy Losses Of officers in European
War Caused by Badges Of
Rank.

Paris.-One of the earliest lessons
of the wal was that of the danger to
officers In allowing them to e
badges of their rank, gold cord around
their coat sleeves, gold decorations
on their %headgear, etc, which marked
them out To the enemy's picked shots
and resulted in unnecessary and
avoldable losses among them. This
lesson was learned, and now it has be-
come so difficult at the front to iden-
tify an officer that a failure to salute
is overlooked on this ground.
There seems, however, a chance that
his danger is being revived by the
regulations making the wearing of
chevrons obligatory. These chevrOns
are in the form of an inverted V and
ARE worn on the right arm between
the elbow and shoulder to denote that
the wearer has been wounded, and on
the left to show the length of time
he has been at the front, one showing
one year of active service, two for Is
months. They are worn in all sorts
of material and colors, officers wear
ing them in gold and silver. When
worn on leave or during cOnvalescence
their visibility is a good point, but at
the front they draw upon their wear
ers the same danger that badges OF
rank formerly did.

matured story told to illustrate the
pride II man may take in his work and
how apt he is to be extremely jealous
OF that work. It relates how two
street sweepers were discussing the
merits of Il deceased member of their
craft.

in an effort Of praise.

was that. But now that he's gone,

tary secret, but It Is sufficient to say
that she would complete n journey of

ground at this camp.
Finally, far Over the mountain
range, the machine was sighted. The
aviator was having II rough time OF It,,

was a moment in which these casual

A Voice From the Methodist
Church.

The Third Annual Banquet
given in the church last Wednes-
day evening was pronounced a
great success, 50 far as.the menu,
social spirit, program, and the
number present was concerned.
We cannot do less than thank the
ladies who prepared the food and
wish for another return Of the
occasion.
The Homecoming Day service
was good in spirit, small in atteid-
ance. A number of our homes
were afflicted with the common
epidemic, and the stormy morning
prevented some coming from the
country.
The ladies' Of the primary de-
partment of the Methodist Sunday
school gave their children a social
hour at the old parsonage last
Friday afternoon. Popcorn aud
apples were the refreshments. 1t
was no small pleasure to witness
the little ones enjoy themselves.
We still need some lady who is
willing to devote herself to the
good Of the junior department Of
the Sunday school. These are our
boys and girls and they are ask
ing for leader. VIII not parents
take interest enough in their own
children to attend church once

nae Best Mile Of Road.

The followin letter from a well
known former raneher of south
west OF Nezperee refers TO the
article published in The Herald
last week relative to the road drag
as applied by John Gehrke, of the
writer's old neighborhood, and is
self-explanitOry:
John Gehrke is right. He took
up road dragging before he got
his ear and has been at il ever
since, He has got the best mile
of road in his neighborhood. He
has dragged the road before
breakfast and after supper. /
have seen him coming down the
road ON his way to church with a
drag tied on behind his hack.
| have heard the neighb0rs say,
Well, ii Gehrke didn't have
ear he wouldn't drag the roads. :"
That IS nonsense. II is just as
much of a saving on a team Of
horses to travel a good road as It
is on a ear.
| have always noticed that a
man who never hitched onto
road drag viii rein his horses onto
a smooth piece Of road as quickly
as anybody, but still he don't be-
lieve in dragging the roads. l
have put in some time at road
dragging in Idaho, and while I
don't live there now, If / should

THE vARsATILE YANKEE
The Great War Said. Make Or Do
Without Dyes. and He
Makes Them.

Necessity. superindueed by the
European war, has compelled the
people Of this country TO do many
things that were formerly left to
the people of the old world. This
country has taken up many lines
of manufacture ON an extensive
scale that viii continue to be
sources of great revenue through
the centuries to come.
Before the war, our dyes were
largely imported, and when they
were cut off serious menace to
many lines of American industry
arose. That this difficulty has
been successfully met is shown in
the following news story from
Paterson, New Jersey, under date
of November %:
Women may now get practically
all of the color effects in dress
goods that were known before the
war upset the dye industry, and
will soon have every known color
to choose from, all made in Ameri-
ca fully as good in quality as those
made in Germany or any other
country, according to /. +. Stone,
president Of the National Aniline
& Chemical company, who address
sed the National Silk association
convention here today.
Mr.. Stone told many interesting
things about the dye situation.
The seriousness of it, as it was
viewed two years ago, has largely
disappeared, he said. Large in
crease in production of dyestuffs
by the already established factor
les in the country, and the INSTALL
ment of a large number of factor
les, has so cleared the situation.
"that at the present time the pro-
duetion of the American factories
viii be enough to take care of the
whole consumption OF aniline dyes
IN this country in the future, for
all Of what l might term staple
eOlors, and before another year
has passed every color which is
necessary to American consumers
will be produced in this country.
In explaining the success of the
American dye factories, Mr.. Stone
said that benzole, from which
practically all aniline colors are
derived, was now being produced
in this country at the rate of 3d.
100000 gallons per annum, as
against 5000 600 prior to the war,
so that there is an ample supply
of this basic material. From it
are now being manufactured (
largely such intermediates as ami
line oil, betanapthcl, paraniprani-
lin, chlorbenzole, dimethylanilin,
and paraphenylenediamine, so
that American manufacturers Of
cOlors are able to get sufficient
raw materials, to manufacture
enough eolors to supply the whole
consumption.
There is a popular impress Z
ZION, said Mr. Stone, that Amer
can manufactured eolors are not
IS good as those manufactured in
Europe, Germany particularly,
md this is an impression / wish
definitely to correct, in that it is
lot fact, for American colors are
made from practically the same
chemical formulate as the Euro
,ean colors and are practically the
anne product in every way.
"The whole situation is at pres
mt very satisfactory, and every
american consumer should be able
o obtain practically everything

THE STATES PROBLEM

one of the problems for the state to
solve at this time is gas conservation
at Fox When the Gypsy well was
drilled it was allowed to remain open
for several weeks while deeper drill
ing was being done. If the Franklin &
Phillips well is drilled deeper there
must be waste of gas. The hole
which has been carried to the gas
sand by the owners is ten inches in
diameter. They have drilled well
of this size so they might be able to
case off the gas sands and drill
through them to test for oil What
view the state will take Of the matter
remains to be seen. If the state were
to listen cold bloodedly to the bare
facts in the case, ii would probably
order the conservation of the gas.
1t would do so for the reason that the
petroleum is not needed. The supply
at this time is more than meeting the
requirements of the market and the
Hcaldton, Gushing and Augusta runs
are under restrictions While that is
true, there is always a demand for
gas. There may not be a market
today for that gas, but there will be a
market as soon as pipe lines can be
built to it in case the production is
conserved.
On the other hand, if the state lis
tens to the eagerness of Ardmore and
to the eagerness of investors at Fox,
it will permit deeper drilling There
is an intense eagerness on the part
of the people to know what lies be-
meath these heavy gas sands. If oil
is found there, millions of wealth will
be added to the state in one day That
wealth to the state will come from
oil taxes and from taxes ON increased
real estate valuations
II is problem the state must solve.
