Ode to the Burr Oak Poet.
(Cor. Burr Oak Acorn.)
Across the line in Noble town
There lives a man Of great renown;
He sits in his sanctum chair
And from him banishes care.
He scratches his head TO start the
think.
He dips his pen deep into the ink
And on the paper, shining white,
His thoughts he proceeds to write.
He writes Of lads and lassies sweet.
He tells when he has greens to eat,
He brags Of cows that are hard to
beat,
And tells OF others sinking feet.
He writes OF hens and big fat hogs
And solemnly swears we're going to
the dogs.
But when all is said and done.
He's just chuck full of harmless
fun
And at writing poetry he is a blinger,
His initials are Chris X. Nofsinger.
Here's where we break in a new
month and tomorrow we will know
what kind Of weather we are TO have
for six weeks. That's one nice thing
about February. You can depend on
it. But that is the only good thing
about IL.
STILL, February is not without it's
inspiration.
1T inspires us with a desire for
wings.
That we might swiftly fly away
To the sun kissed sands Of Florida.

SLINGSBY BABY
IS NOT LEGAL HEIR
House of Lords Makes Final
Disposition of Case Involv-
ing Half Million Estate,
IN COURTS FIVE YEARS

London, Dec. l4.-Thc House of
Lords refused the appeal in the
Slingsby legitimacy case today with
out calling upon the respondents:
In giving judgment the House OF
Lords held that it had been estab-
lshed that the child in question was
the son OF Lillian Anderson and that
it also had been proved that the child
was handed over to Mrs SingSby.
The House OF Lords expressed regret
at the pain caused by the decision to
the gallant officer, who is now serv-
ing his country - Commander
Slingsby."
In the House of Lords lay the last
hope of the Slingsby claimants in
the contest which has been before the
courts of England and the United
States for several years. An inhcr-
itancc was left in England to the first
male heir of three brothers of the
name of Slngsby. The estate, in
Yorkshire, is valued at about $780,
600 The case grew out of the at
tempt of one brother to establish him
self as the father of all heir and the
denial by the others. As the alleged
heir was born outside the empire it
was necessary TO establish the fact of
his legitimate birth.
In December, 1913, a petition was
presented in the probate court for
decree that Charles Eugene Slingsby
was the lawful son of Charles R.
SIingsby and Dorothy Slingsby. 1t
was said the child had been born in
San Francisco i'll 1910. Thomas and
Alan Slngsby, brothers Of Comman-
der Charles Slingsby, alleged no heir
had been born, and that the infants
mother was Lillian Anderson and its
father Paul Colvin; that the child mad
been procured for the petitioners and
passed off by them as their lawful
offspring, the birth record being al
tered.
A California court ruled that the
child was the legitimate heir and the
probate court OF England declared the
child was the legitimate heir

RAILROADS WIN
YELLOW PINE CASE
Interstate Commission Re-
verses Findings and Puts Ad-
vanced Rate Into Effect.
VICTORY FOR DEALER IN FIR


Washington, Dec l4.-(Special Tel
egram, 1.-The Interstate Commerce
commission has just handed down an
opinion in the long -drawn-out rate
case involving rates on yellow pine
lumber from the southern producing
districts to Omaha, Lincoln and Des
Moines. This opinion reverses the
three former decisions of the COM
mission, all of which were favorable
to the Omaha interests, and allows
the railroads to advance the yellow
pine lumber rates from Is cents to
26H cents per 100 pounds.
The case has been pending in ono
form or another since August |, 1912.
On that date the 25-cent rate original
ly established by the commission in
1910. was advanced by the railroads
to 26Il cents and suspended by the
commission. Through persistent ef-
forts of the traffic bureau, represent
ing the lumber dealers of Omaha, the
increased rate has been kept suspend
cd for more than four years. During
that period the center of production
and shipment OF lumber has moved
southwark so that the average haul
which was then 82l miles, is now 972
miles, somewhat farther than the dis
tance from the same territory to Chi
cago, and the Chicago rate has been

Dispatches Indicate Evacua- =

SKIRMISHING IN FRANCE

While the warning nations are
awaiting Developments from the pres'
entation OF peace proposals by Ger
many and its allies. the operations on
the various fighting fronts are pro-
ceeding as usual The immediate fu-
turc so far as the peace protiers are
concerned is indicated as likely to be
taken up by consultations among the
entente powers preliminary to the
sending OF joint reply
Interest i'll military Developments
still centers upon Roumania, where
the armies Of Field Marshal Won
Mackcnsen are fighting their way for
ward despite the difficulties of trans
port caused by the bad condition of
the roads in a Roumanian winter.
Whether the Roumanians have sue
ceeded in establishing themselves
along the line of the Buzeu, near the
southern Moldavian border, is not yet
apparent Berlin's last specific men
ton in this connection was made in
last nights communication, in which
the Teutonic forces were reported to
be nearing the Buzeu. In any event.
it appears that the Roumanian evacu-
alton OF southern Wallachia is virtu-
ally complete, as the German war Of
fec announces that Great Wallachia,
south Of the Bucharest -Tchernavoda
railway, has been cleared of hostile
forces.
Beyond the German report of the
repulse OF French attack in the Ar
gonne on the western front and of
Serbian assaults on Bulgarian posi-
tons in Macedonia the war news pre-
sents little else of interest.

centre of the heavy battle OF the iast
three DAYS. is the scene OF all the
fighting on a large scale that continues
north OF the Somme. Along the rest
OF the front the rain that has turned
the fields into muddy pools prevents
infantry action and seriously hampers
the artillery.
Bapaume is now we'll within range
Of the British guns, but the lombard,
ment of the town must wait until
weather permits better observations.
The British are establishing themselves
more firmly on the line from Thiepval
to Guedecourt. with the Germans MAX
ing sporadic efforts to throw them back.
Near le Sars, on the road from Al
bert to Bapaume. the heaviest struggle
is developing. Here Haig's troops have
made some advance, which Berlin ad-
mts, stating that it was gained only
after severe losses.
The French, except for isolated &C
tions, were prevented by the rains from
attempting any considerable attack.
On both sides Of the Bethunc road.
near Rancourt, they made some prog
ress, taking a strong trench. The Ger
mans tried a counter attack on this
part Of the front, but this collapsed
under the French machine gun fire.
