sections Of our country. In my opin-
ion we want to be made a much more
homogeneous people, and therefore
those that enlist from the east should
be sent to the west and those from the
south sent to the north, and perfect
understanding would be brought about
between various sections.
This CONSUMPTION imposed upon men
should also be obligatory for women,
who as citizens. but not as soldiers,
should know how to efficiently do their
share In coming to the aid OF their
country In time of calamity.
Girls should be forced to train In
various departments Of the civil serV-
ice, in the postoffices, in all the mu-
nicipal departments, and to women
would apply the same ideas as to the
men-that is to say, send them to va
rious parts of the country, SO that they
may get a wider knowledge of their
home land"

Crossed Land In Oxcart.

lone, Colo. - Eighty-nine candles,
which covered a delicious birthday
cake and marked the age of the oldest
pioneer resident in lone, were blown

Mrs. Gregory was born near Spring

with her husband and one child she
endured the hardships Of crossing the
plains in 1853 in a covered wagon
drawn by an OK team. The young
wife walked a great part of the dis
lance carrying the child. The family
came almost direct to lone, and In
1854 erected a house, which has been
their home since and In which the re-

Hagerstown, Ind.-Twenty-two years
ago, as j. N. Baldwin, then huckster,
was driving to his home, five miles
north of here, he was held up by three
masked men and robbed of $50, the
robbery occurring just at dusk on the
public highway and in sight of his
home. There was no clew, and the
matter was dropped without inyestiga-
ton.
Mr. Baldwin, who seven years ago
moved to Cowan, near Muncie, and is
travelling as an evangelist, recently re-
ceived letter sent from this place, in
which $50 was inclosed. The letter
read:
Here is your money. | want to get this
from my mind and get clear of this sin.
All these years since 1 helped to rob you
have been years of hell. 1 was but six

Centralia, Kan.-Centralia people de-

organist in the state and probably the
only boy organist. Edward Everett Is
only thirteen years old, and when in
his knee pants suit he walks up into
the choir gallery on Sunday mornings
strangers might think he was going
to pump the church organ or maybe
sing in a children's chorus, but would
never suspect he was the church or
ganist for a real grownup choir, In
GLIDING music supervisors and teach
ers.
And when he gets on the bench at
the organ you cannot see even the top
of his head, so the music gives one
the impression of coming from the
organ without any assistance. When
the services are over and Edward
walks out strangers are astonished
He shirks none of the regular program
of the services, but plays voluntaries
and anthems as well as the hymns
and chooses difficult, high class music.
Edward is by no means sissy, and
for that reason every precaution is
being taken to make sure of his ap-
pearance at the service. He is very
fond of baseball and all other sports
This town has had considerable diff

Indianapolis, Ind.-Stories are pub
lished frequently regarding vegetables
and fruits that have been canned many
years. Some persons have an idea that
fruit and vegetables lose in wholesome
ness after being in cans for a long
time. This idea, however, seems to be
a fallacy, according to an analysis re-
Gently made by II. e. Barnard, state
food and drug commissioner, who ex-
Rmined a twenty seven-year-old can Of
corn.
The can of corn was submitted to
Mr.. Barnard by the Indiana Wholesale
Grocers' association, and no doubt ex-
lists as to the age of the corn. Mr..
Barnard reported to the association
that the corn was found In good condi-
ton '1n regard to color, consistency
and flavor" The interior Of the can
was bright. "Our investigation of this
can of corn" Mr. Barnard reports, sis
additional evidence that properly can
ned goods will keep indefinitely with
no deterioration so far as food value Is
concerned and with little or no change
in palatability."
