How Blotting Paper Absorbs Ink.

Every student of physics knows that
water will run up a narrow tube by capil-
larry attraction. Anything immersed in

water; that is, the object becomes wet by
the water that clings to it, The amount
is limited by the weight Of the liquid it.
self. Place your hand in water, and your
hand, when withdrawn. is wet. The lin
tied attraction between the hand and the
water is gagged by the weight OF the water
that clings to the hand.
Imagine several hands placed close to-
Sether in water, but not touching one an
other. If this composite hand were formed
OF ten single hands it would attract ten
times as much water as the one hand
would attract and hold on its surface.
So, wisp of hay, composed of hundred
spears of dried grass. placed in water.
VIII remove a hundred times as much OF
the fluid as would cling to one spear.
Bushes in marsh will remove certain
amount of water which will. by capillary
attraction, cling to their submerged
parts.
Under the microscoDe, fbrous blotting

a small scale, marsh matted with
shrubs and sticks and twigs, around
which water is flowing as ink runs about
and among the fibers that together form
the spongy paper. There is limit to the
amount of liquid which a "blotter' will
absorb, as there is limit to the amount
OF water that a marsh will absorb with

OUTING made To
AID RECRUITING
Visits of Guardsmen to Homes
Expected to Add Many
Enlistments.

Mother or father, wife or sweetheart
was agreeably surprised yesterday when
their khaki-clad soldier walked into the
house and announced that he was out on
pass until late at night.
For so per cent of the infantry at Camp
Ordway was allowed to go out on pass
yesterday. Today the other half will be
given passes good until p. m.
The officers frankly admitted that the
holiday would bring a flood of recruits.
Each man had instructions to talk re-
cruiting as much as possible.
Another recruiting incentive is the offer
of the officers to pay the expenses of the
soldier who gets a recruit. Up to now
the men who solicit new soldiers have
had to pay their own expenses. and this
has been hardship for soldiers receiving
only SIS a month. This Is not a bonus,
the officers say. but simply a reimburse
ment for legitimate expenses, not to ex-
coed 50.
The date of departure Is still uncertain,
but officers put 1t as the end Of the week
All depends on how fast the recruits for
the Third Infantry come in. When the
minimum strength of the regiment is
reached. orders will be issued to move,
and over night the canvas will be struck
and the men will entrain for the border.
sixty-eight men still now needed for
the regiment. for the last few days the
discharges have diminished and the en-
istments are surprising the discharges

ing emplacements for five heavy guns,

at sale on July is such car was pur-
chased by a firm with a German name;

Observation-Disclosures.

On the whole. there is more excel
lent reason why we should celebrate
the birthday rather than the death of
national hero. and George Washing
ton was born on February %. 1882.
We can unfeignedly join our America n
cousins in rejoicing at the existence Of
man who clearly and incontestablv
stands out as the purest great man in
universal history. While America feels
just pride in having given him birth.
it is something for England to re-
member that Washington's ancestors
lived for generations upon her soil.
His great-grandfather was the founder
OF American stock which had pre-
viously fourished in the North and
Midlands of England. Sulgrave Manor

manent memorial of the hundred years

Will Have Fair

A mass meeting of the
citizens of the town and
county will be held at the court
house next Monday afternoon at
four o'clock for the purpose OF
organizing a Fair Association,
and making the preliminary ar
rangements for a fair to be held
in Tupelo the coming fall.
There is no reason why as
good a fair cannot be held in
Tupelo as any town in the state,
and the early starting of the
movement is in the right direc-
ton as it takes time to make the
necessary arrangements for, the
holding of a fair.
With an early start farmers
and others can get their exhibits
in readiness, and when the time
arrives for the fair everything
will be in shape for exhibition.
Let everybody interested come
out to the meeting Monday, and
get a good start and let Tupelo
have the best fair to be held in
North Mississippi next fall.
