TO DRIVE NAIL IN PLASTER
WITHOUT SpOTLING THE WALL

TIT you wish to drive a mani IN a
plastered WALL" says the February
Woman's Home Companion, "frst put
it in very hot water until it is thor
oughly heated. You can tnen drive it
in clean without breaking or chipping
any of the surrounding plaster. ;,
"Cold nails will make the plaster fall
Don't try to drive 'em in,
Just boil your nails approach the wall
And hammer 'em like sin!
The plaster will not bulge mite
Though swatted like the dickens
Hot nails are certainly all right,
Like incubator chickens.'

SAYS LYNCH ..PUT II OVER ON
f Is5,&E$ H9TR6 All t.3# 3Ese5 .st ssE.sF

Wadena Pioneer Journal: The
charge is made that Fred B. Lynch
recognized leader Of Minnesota Dem.
ocracy, is engaged, and has been en-
gagged for some time, in selling horses
to the Entente Allies. The story might
not have leaked out were it not for the
fact that court action is soon to be
instituted against Mr.. Lynch by one,
Nose Zimmerman, q St. Paul horse
: dealer, who makes the charge that
several months ago, Mr.. Lynch came to
him with proposition that they go
into the business of buying horses and
selling them to the Allies. It seems
that Mr.. Lynch had been in communi-
cation with eastern parties, who told
him that much money was to be made
in war contracts. ...-... .....,s.,
It looked good to Mr.. Lynch, too,
but he was handicapped by the lack
Of ready money and was also rather
shy Of horse knowledge. He recall
ed, however, that he had friend in
st. Paul, who had both the money
and the technical knowledge. In
that way, it came about, so it is
claimed by Mr.. Zimmerman, that Mr..
Lynch came to him and proposed a
partnership, to which Mr.. thinner
man agreed, advancing quite few
thousand dollars to get the business
on it's feet.
Now, Mr.. Zimmerman wants the
scalp of his good. friend Lynch, al:
leging that the latter had "thrown
him down. Zimmerman declares that
Lynch, without informing him, proceed
ed to organize company to carry. on
the business and left him out. thinner
man claims that in doing this, Lynch
was a traitor to him and he claims
many other things.
The whole deal will make interesting
reading when it gets into court.

THE LAST TIE

dozens of other wanderers who come
to any newspaper office every year tt

just another of the shifting, floating
type Of wanderers who frequent the
Kansas towns, on the way to and from
!; the construction camps. But a hand
full Of city dailies did not dismiss him
'I wonder if you get the paper from
>Kirksboro, ILL.,, here,'' he asked. Then,
!half-explanatory, half-apologetic, he
said, "You see, I used to live there
: Someone went through the pile of
exchanges and found the paper he
sought, the Kirksboro Sun, just an Or
binary country weekly, full of bad
type, and badly written news. The
visitors thanks were more profuse
for this paper than for all the others,
and he went out.
\ That little country paper was the
last tie that held a wandering casual
laborer to place he once called home.
Relatives and friends who once lived
there had gone, or disowned him as
and failure. But the old
weekly, with its neighborhood gossip
Of marriages, deaths, births, crops and
sickness, brought him back again to
of the old home town. Some
day, the little weekly may draw him
home. He will make new start, and
the days Of his wandering will be past.

Country to See Three Months of Foot
ball-Many Intersectional Games.

New York, Aug. 19.-Intersectional
games stand out as the feature of the
football season of 1916 which will be
under way before another three weeks
have been checked from the calendar
Almost every section of the country
will be represented in these gridiron
clashes and indications point to I'M
usual interest and enthusiasm in the
great American college game this fall
Close to three months play will be
witnessed this season, as the opening
game is scheduled for September 16,
and the closing contests will not be
staged until December 9.
Each year the number of games in
creases and the coming season finds
more games scheduled than was the
case twelve months ago. According
to the list prepared in conn cotton with
the revised rules of play, the teams of
the leading colleges and universities
of the country will figure in more than
| thirteen hundred contests, while the
preparatory and high school elevens
will compete in more than twice that
| number, bringing the total close to
the five thousand mark.
Many Schedule Changes.

the coming season and those of the
past few years shows a number of

among the leading competitors for

sity is again found listed for games

tons.
| There is an unusual number of con-
tests scheduled for Fridays although
the Saturday games are still over
whelmingly in the majority. Altho
the so-called championship games are
not scheduled until the closing weeks
of November. the height of the season.
SO far as the number of games is con-
cerned, will be reached late in October
and the following two Saturdays when
the principal college contests each day
alone pass the hundred mark. The
climax comes with the playing of the
Harvard-Ya game at New Haven
and the Army-Navy game ct New
York on the same day-November IS
On the basis of past attendance and
receipts these two games should at
tract close to 10000 spectators while
the gate receipts will probably exceed
100000.

Iine-"StOrk on a Strike"

Life. in the philosophy of railroad
man, is just one strike after another.
And any of them will tell you the big
problems of the train service con-
troversy are not being threshed out in
Washington where the railroad presi-
dents and the general managers are at
loggerheads with President Wilson and
the union heads. The problems-the
weighty oneS-are being solved here
in Topeka-on front porches in the
evenings or in pool halls or on the
street corners
All of which makes the life OF a
railroad man. whether he be president
of transcontinental system or office
boy, strewn with thorns and cacti. The
dainty young thing pauses her flying
feet on the tennis court after 30 love
or something of that kind-and
springs a new idea on Jimmy, the Of
flee boy. her painting opponent on the
other side of the net. Duke O'Googan
Duke should know because he wiped
engines in the Rock Island round
house for three days once-chalkS his
cue and expresses the opinion that the
railroads are to blame for the whole
trouble. What's a little thing like u
hundred million dollars to the rail-
roads?
Duke is loud in his sentiments which
are uncompromisingly for the sons of
Toll ana not polluted capital. Dukes
hands aren't horny or even calloused
and it has been long time since he
held that wipers job.
Milady of the house stews and frets
because she is afraid the railroad
strike is going to delay the pattern
of the new autumn frock, the picture

picture being in the fashion magazine.

Two young men were discussing the
relative merits of two-anyway there
seemed to be more than one-cornmo-
dities they described as chickens" But
the talk switched to the strike The
two young men cooled themselves on
the lawn for a haIf-hour more
They settled the strike, according to
Sturges but they made such a fuss
about 1T that the railroad man went
downstairs and started to make him
self comfortable with the contents OF
the library table.
He picked up the evening news
