 TO HONOR HERO
 OF NAVAL FIGHT
Boys Body VIII Now Be Removed from Grave Among NameleSS
 Says Admiral.

LONDON. Aug. 14.-General satis. faction is expressed over the decis- ion of the admiralty to remove from it's nameless grave the body of John Travers Cornwall. the boy hero of the battle of Jutland, to a more suit able burial place.
 The decision is the result of the desire that the honor due the lad, whom Admiral Beatty specially mon toned in his dispatch, may be fitting ly paid.
 The body was first hastily buried in a common grave at Manor Park, with only the number "S2S' upon a plain piece of wood to mark his residing place. In response to let ter from the boys mother the admir- alty has written announcing its de. cision to have proper honor done to his memory.

GERMAN ARMY NOW EXCITED
 OVER FAILURES

LONDON, Aug. 14.-Germany has become genuinely alarmed over the continued successes of the Allies, according to information contained in several dispatches from the conti- nent. Amsterdam dispatches say the Belgian frontier has been closed up tight SO as to mask any extensive movement of troops which are be- ing massed on the western border in a supreme effort to stop the Franco.British drive. "The German army is excited. realizing that the crucial stage Of the war has arrived" says Central News telegram from Holland "The Belgians are not al- lowed to leave their homes while the great masses of troops are being moved"

METRIC SYSTEM URGED IN ORDER
 TO HOLD TRADE
It Is the Essential Factor for Merchants Engaged
 in Business with
 Other Nations.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4.-(Spec. iaO-Declaring that a knowledge of the metric system is essential if merchants are to secure and hold for elgn trade, the Philadelphia Bourse urges its teaching in the public schools. With the exception Of Eng land and her. colonies the United States is the only great trading na- tion that employs generally the Eng fish system of weights and measures.
 Germany's commercial successes are attributed to the use Of the met. ric system. American firms who of fer their products in South America in terms of the old system of weights and measures receive little or no at. tention. TO induce the whole Unit ed States to adopt the metric sys. tenn in a short time would be use- less, but 1t could be done gradually The public shools should take the initiative. The article concludes:
 With the lower schools requiring the metric system. the colleges and universities would be compelled to follow. with the result that in a gen eration the business and professional man of the United States would think and therefore use only teh met ric system. The coming of the met ric system is certain, It is used in science and in our coinage system and by government bureaus and de- partments where the use of a system unlike that almost universally used would be impossible. And thus the metric system is coming into com mercial life. because 1t is necessary. Today 1t should be used in foreign trade"

HON. HARVEY HELM
A Court Day Visitor Who Does Some
Tall Hustling.
(From Richmond Register)

(From Richmond Register)
Hon. Harvey Helm came down
from Washington to the home dis
trict this week and was a popular
Court Day visitor here. In fact he
was the cynosure of all eyes, and
his admirable canvassing abilities
were the admiration of all beholders.
When it comes to electioneering it
is our honest opinion that Mr.. Helm
has no equal in the country. He can
certainly get closer to the "hoi polloi'
or in other words the great common
people, than any politician we ever
saw. He went up and down Main
street and in the Court House yard
where the crowds congregate, shak-
ing hands, patting his friends on the
back and making everywhere his
usual excellent impression. He is
in a class to himself in this line, and
his movements were noted and ap-
plauded by his friends about town.
In fact a number of interested OBJ
servers congregated in the windows
of the Elks Club where an excellent
view could be had, and watched as
matter of curiosity his triumphant
progress up and down our main
thoroughfare. He is honestly a mar
vel at this game.
Aside from this pleasant feature
however, Mr.. Helm is man of splen-
did qualities, especially well equip
ped for his job by reason of his
many years experience. He has al
ways been immensely popular in
Madison county, and his popularity
seems to have suffered no wane.
When asked what he thought of the
situation here, he replied that he saw
no change from previous years, and
it is the opinion of the man on the
streets that his views are probably
correct. Everybody seems to have
a warm spot in their heart for Har-
vey, and the man who finally puts
him out of business will surely have
TO ego some" and then some more.

Not Cost Anything.
In Scandinavia divorce by mutual
consent Is the recognized way. And
husband and wife may reach this agree.
ment when neither has violated any
marital obligation. The law, you see,
does not require them to wait until one
has wronged the other. But when they
have reached the point where they two
know that their real union is ended
they may secure divorce for the ask
ing. 1t doesn't cost anything. There
is not even lawyer needed. The proc.
ess is simple. You notify a magistrate
that you are separating. You are not
required to go into details. You don't
have to spread your marital troubles
on court records and newspaper pages.
One reason is as sufficient here as
when you entered into matrimony
You simply state that you no longer
wish to continue the marriage. Then
one party to the contract goes away
for year-in Finland it is for onl,
three months. At the end of the Pc
riod the magistrate hands YOU the pa.
pers that dissolve the marriage as
quietly as it was made
If. as rarely happens. mutual consent
through the refusal of one Of the con-
tracing parties cannot be secured th.,
process is IL little longer. the probation
airy period of one year being extended
to two. But there is always way
out. Sweden has no less than twelve
grounds for divorce. 1t is accomplish.
ed in as disnitied Il way as any other
partnership might be dissOlved.-Mabel
