EDISON FAVORS T. II.
AS NEXT PRESIDENT.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 13.-Thos.
A. Edison has come out for Colonel
Roosevelt for president.
The inventor has expressed his opin-
ion of the colonel's fitness in vigorous
terms, and in the letter in which he
makes his views known and which he
has sent to the Roosevelt Nonpartisan
league, he declared that Colonel Roos-
evelt is the only man to be considered
at this time. In his letter Mr.. Edison
says:
"He (Roosevelt) has more real
craftsmanship, better grasp of the
most important needs of this country,
and greater executive ability to handle
the big international problems that
will arise at the close of the war than
all the other proposed candidates put
together"
Anfield Shif1et, who killed himself
when confronted by arrest for the
murder of his father, was made the
beneficiary in $4,000 insurance poll

tive for the crime. They also found
evidence today tending to show that
young Anfield attempted to obtain a
deed from his father for valuable land
near here.

A GERMAN ARMY CORPS.
What It Means to Move and Feed and
Form In Fighting Line.

What II Means to Move and Feed and
Form In Fighting Line.
In the nonmilitary mind there is only
a vague idea as to the space required
for an army corps.
According to German writer. Ger
man army corps consists of 41,O0O men,
$4,000 horses and 2,4OO vehicles, in
Guiding the cannon. Such body of
men and their belongings on single
road make a procession about thirty
miles long.
Even when in fairly close touch with
the enemy the length of corps is
about fifteen miles, and when the front
attachments become engaged in bat
tie it is five or six hours before the
men in the rear get into action to as
sist them.
An army Of ten corps would fight on
front about thirty-seven miles long.
and a man who undertook to walk
from one wing to the other would re,
quire twelve or fourteen hours to do it.
An army corps consumes nearly 800
600 pounds of food a day. about 1OO,-
600 pounds for the men and 100000
pounds for the horses. Even under the
most favorable conditions it requires
train of $50 wagons to bring up days
food

DANCES AND DIES.
The May Fly Lives Only a Day, bus
Has a Cav Time While He lasts.

Foolish insect! He lives only one
day and spends the greater part OF 1t
dancing. You've doubtless been
guest at one of their dances, held over
a stream on warm summers evening.
You've seen the insects in, swarms,
leaping up and down in fancy steps
and intricate figures. You've attended
the dance Of the May flies.
There is general supposition that
all May flies live only for day. AS a
matter of fact, they will live several
days if the atmosphere isn't too dry.
Then again they may survive only
through single night. Even this i'm
pending fate cannot stop them from
dancing.
This brief lived characteristic, how
ever, applies only to the winged exist.
ence of the insect Before they grow
wings they pass through several stages.
from the larvae. which live in water.
through several molts and transfer
nations. So while it is May fly only
for short time it exists for longer
time, and perhaps we can pardon it if
it dances during the brief period it
lives in the air.
The fly has two pairs Of wings, one
pair much larger than the other, and
two or three long, bristle-lilke tails. It's
mouth is small and soft and not made
for eating. The May fly has no time to
eat He's too busy dancing.-Philadel-

Mr.. Chitliek took the stand and tes-
titled in his own behalf. Justice Hen
derson, after hearing all the testi-
mony, continued the case until later
date in order to give him sufficient
obtain sample of the meat for analy-
sis and to get authority from States
Attorney H. G. De Puy.
During the recent heavy wind-storm
which visited North Dakota, the east
ern part of the state seemed to get
the worst end of the gale. A man re-
turning from a visit to the. eastern
part Of the state says that in the Red
river valley where the soil is light the
storm resembled a real old-time biz
zard, with sand for "filling" instead Of
snow. He saw high-powered auto
mobile stuck in q sand drift and it re-
quired team Of horses to pull it out.
McMurchy's special Washington dis
patch recently regarding the potato
situation north and south should
make the Northwestern farmers glad
that they have cast their lot here. Be-
cause the war demand has increased
the value of potash from $40 to $500
ton, the southern potato raisers can
not afford to use fertilizer this year.
Without fertilizer their crop will be
reduced one-half at least and northern
growers will find their own market
correspondingly improved. 1t looks
like big year for the potato grower
who can produce crop without fer
tilizer and the North Dakota soil is
such that it gives record yields of the
tuber, both as to quantity and quality,
without artificial fertilizing. An in
creased acreage in potatoes this year
would seem to be a good investment
for North Dakota growers.

ENGLISH and French,

1t is truly a graceful speech, the
French tongue. Plain, homely things
of life, so bald and bare and disheart-
ening in the Anglo-Saxon, are less IN
lovely in the French. Indeed, the
French word for rags" is SO pretty
that we have conferred chiffon on one
of our daintiest fabrics. But in the
grace Of the language lies also its
weakness. It does not rise to the SUI
preme utterances. I have been read
ing the Bible texts on the tombstones
in the little cemetery Of Chardonne.
"L'Eternal est mon berger" can never
rank in loftiness with "The Lord is
my shepherd" nor "Que votre occur
ne Sc trouble point" with LET not your
heart be troubled" Baltimore Ameri-
can.
