 The site of the new odi1ce is located about 250 feet east of the state road and Is directly back of the homestead of Mr. Wedga. The building used for a gymnasium is now in front of where fffhe church will be located, but this building will be moved across to the other side of Elizabeth street.

If ever a people should pause, if ever they should look abroad and profit by the experiences of others, should comprehend their national dangers in the light of the terrible realities that are being enacted be- fore their eyes in other nations, it is now, and we are that people"
 In these words Frank A. Vanderlip of New York, addressing the Ameri- can Bankers association in conven- tion in Kansas City. Mo-, warned his hearers they should not take too easily the present great wealth of this country that "seems dangerousIy likely to submerge us in our own prosperity.
 "I believe the greatest need of the day-and a need so fundamental as to make other matters inconsequential in comparison-is universal military, industrial and economic prepared ness"

 In such a case the Department would consider that the just, appropriate and quickest way of enforcing the law would be by civil proceeding in which the question involved would be contested or a consent decree entered according as the defendants desir- ed or by notice to the parties of the Departments conclusion with oppor- tunity to abandon or modify the tran sactton.

BASEBALL IN f66

We are accustomed to think o1 modern worlds series attendance fig.

 unable to believe their eyes if they could see 'em in print. In those base ball bugs of the early days were in- formed of the prices paid by fans of today to witness the gamesthey would certainly be startled, but the mere at- tendance figures alone wouldn't faze 'em. Back in 1866, just half a cen- tury ago come tomorrow, a game scheduled between the Philadelphia Athletics and the Brooklyn Atlantics brought an outpouring of Quaker City fans that would be considered quite a crowd today. It was estimated that between 30,000 and 10000 people, of all ages, occupations and colors, gath cred inside and outside the enclosed grounds to see the championship con- test The Athletics and the Atlanttcs were then the best clubs in America, and the game was to decide the su- premacy of the diamond. The crush was so tremendous that the game could not be finished, and 1t had to be postponed. To avoid similar trou- ble, an admission fee of a dollar was charged next time, and over 2,0o0 paid their way in, while thousands more occupied points of vantage out side. The game was called on ac- count of darkness in the seventh in- ming, the Athletics winning 31 to 12. The division of the rich spells caused quarrel and the clubs didn't play again that year.
 The latest of the interminable yarns about Bugs" Raymond is as follows:
 Raymond has been rather unwell, and the club doctor gave him a potion to be taken at night before retiring. The next day the "doc' met his eccen- tric patient.

 Easy" said Bugs, "easy. I just opened me lamps, and, by golly, there I was."

pierced and Eerdun taken.

Powerful Machines Protect Balloons.

Some of the most powerful machines
In the German air service protect the
balloons. and this in itself is regard
ed as sufficient proof of the Importance
which il attached.
French aviators who are ambitious
to destroy "sausages' are often Iured
to their death. The captive balloons
are kept two or three miles behind the
German lines, fianked by aeroplanes in
groups of from seven to twelve. A
German decoy is sent forth to tempt
the French machines into danger
When the bait is taken the German
sends out distress signal in the form
Of fuse, and the German group drives
forward and endeavors to hem the dar-
ing Frenchman in. Most of the Ger
man air victories may be attributed to
this strategy.

From where lay my head on

the rocks, making use of the rift in
the face of the cliff, and finding no
great difficulty. At the top he looked
back, waved his hand, and then dis
appeared among the trees. All was
silent about me, except for the dash
OF distant waves, and the rustic of
branches far overhead. 1 gazed up
at the sky, where the clouds were
thinning. giving glimpses of faintest
blue, and began to collect my own
thoughts, and realize my situation.

his presence. He had his arms filled
with broken bits of wood which were
tossed to the sand, and a moment
later he descended the rift in the wall
and paused beside me.

said, and, 1 felt, not regretfully. "The
canoes must have been blown some
