The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-10-16

the days following the Parral fight,
while the cavalry was near the Du-
range line, between Villa and safety, is
summarized by Colonel Allen as fol
lows:
The story of Parral, the conference
between the American and Mexican
authorities, the search for supplies dur
ing our encampment at this little ranch
constitute one of the most interesting,
characteristic and peculiarly delicate
situations, within my knowledge, of
the punitive expedition. The attitude
Of the people of Parral, the instruc-
tions from General Gutierrez not to 90
a step farther south, the dietatorial man
ner of General Luis Rerrera at the
conference on April p and his reply to
the request for disavowal of the un-
provoked attack, ending with there
is no reason for an apology on my
part, all these go to show the char
acter of the cooperation this expedi-
ton was receiving from the authorities
and the people. The night our column
passed through Zaragassa Immediate
ly after the Parral affair the situation
was very tense and / was expecting an
attack as we passed.
Nothing unusual marked the retire
ment northward of the Eleventh, save
the fight at Oio Azules. Here on May
4, Major Howe, after an all night
march, surprised 140 Villistas, killed
forty-two, saved a Carranza lieutenant
and four men from execution and scat
tered the band broadcast. Among the
more noted victims were Julio Acosta.
Cruz Dominguez and Antonio Angel.

Titanic" WHEAT

The department has recently been
advised by a correspondent in Cali
fornia that variety of wheat is be-
ing advertised under the name of I'll
tanic." The assertion is made that it
is new variety of wheat discovered
in England about four years ago and
that small quantity of the seed was
brought to the United States by one
of the survivors of the Inflated "Ti-
tanic." The wheat is represented as
having extremely high yielding pow
er, reaching as high as 7000-fold. A
photograph sent by the correspondent
shows a head indentical in appear
ance with the widely-expIoIted Alas
ka" wheat. Five acres Of the wheat
are said to be growing in the State
of Washington and the seed, it is be-
lieyed, will be offered for high prices
after the harvest. The department
has no further or more definite infor-
nation concerning this variety but
farmers and dealers are cautioned to
be on their guard concerning this
new exploitation

ALONG
Miami and Erie Canal In the Early
Days--Reminiscense of Cam
al BOatman.

S. S. w. in Tippecanoe City Herald.
Celina, Mercer county, is located
on the oposite side of the reservoir
from the canal, ana ten miles from
the Feeder lock. Push poles or sails
were used by boatinen in crossing
from Celina to the lock, and If the
wind was blowing the opposite direc-
ton from the way the boat was going,
they were compelled to wait for a
favorable wind to make the voyage
across the reservoir.
Celina was town of some impor-
tance at that time. 1t boasted of a
large -four mill known as Crockett's
mil, being owned by a descendant OF
Dayy Crockett. Flour, slaves, hoop
poles and railroad ties constituted
the shipments from Celina, and as
there was no rail communication
from the outside, the canal furnish
ed the means of transportation, af-
ter the ten mile journey across the
reSel yoir.
Rt ats on the Great Lakes and riv-
ers were using steam, and why not
the canal? In the early sixties the
screw propeller cane into use and
the plOpelling of thc canal boat was
solved. V. NJ, DAVIDSON, owning
boat bearing his name, was the first
TO use steam. Other boatmen follow
ed Capt. Davidson and before long

gIim' under steam, followed by
christopher Schunc6's Clipper"
Schunck was the Astor of Celina.
He was merchant and owned a
forward and commission business.
and was one of the leaders in the
building and making of Celina and
Mercer county.
The canal was the making of 9TH
er towns in Ohio. Delphos and Spen-
cerVille were headquarters for sec
ton corn (hoop poles and railroad
ties) There were but few wagons
in the country at that time and the
farmers used mud boats in hauling
to the canal. The canal was the main
street in Delphos and Spencerville.

FORMER
COIdwRter Girl Gains National
Reputation as BIbIe-Studya and
SundRy-SchOOl Worker.

[From the Front Rank. ST. Louis, ]
Mis- Hazel A. Lewis, National Ele-
Imentary Superintendent needs no in
production from us, for she is already
well known throughout the country
for her splendid service TO this de-
partment of our Bible school work,
But il Is our desire TO say a few
things about her contribtlon to the
Bible school movement among our
people, so we take the opportunity of
presenting a few facts regarding her
lite-thcy are necessarily few be-
cause Miss Lewis never speaks about
herself.
Her public activities in the Sunday
school field began in 1904, when she
became county secretary OF the Mer-
Ger County, Ohio, Sunday school as
sociation, Her services were purely
voluntary In 1908, moving to Lima.
Ohio, she was askeu to become the
County Secretary fer that (Allen)
county Her work was of sucn a
character that in 1910 she was called
into the Office of the Ohio Sunday
school association, spending a part
of her time in the field as a general
field worker.
In January, 1911, her services
were secured by Indiana. She NOV
ed to Indianapolis to begin her duties
as Elementary Superintendent of the
Indiana Sunday School Association.
All that time Miss Lewis was serving
in an interdenominational capacity
and everywhere her superior train
ing and experience in her particular
field were recognized. The work in
the Elementary Division under her
leadership prospered.
When conditions among our own
people We're ripe and the complete
National Department organization
was begun, Miss Lewis was the uatuT-
al and logical choice for National Ell
ementaTy superintendent Her con
nection with our national work be-
gan January 1913, two years after
she had been called to the state work
of Indiana
In the period of almost four years
as National Elementary Superinten-
dent, Miss Lewis has travelled thous-
ands and thousands of miles, visit
ms our schools, giving instruction
and bringing inspiration and vision
and leaving higher ideals for the
work. Her service has commended
itself to all because it has been so
intensely practical and of such high
character. She has contributed much
to the best interests of national work
not only in Institutes and Conven-
tions and Schools of Methods, but in
the conferences with both our own
leading workers anG with the inter
UNCONVENTIONAL gatherings. There is |
no worker among us with higher con-
ceptions Of the place of the church, |
school, nor with larger equipment to |
make possible these high ideals in |
her field; there is no other worker |
among other communions that stands
higher.

USE COAL TAR DIP TO PREVENT
NANCE

For horses and colts affected with
mango the following treatment is rec
commended: Clip the affected parts
and wash with 1-50 solution of coal
tar dip as often as found necessary
and each time of washing rub flow
ers of sulphur on the parts while the
skin is yet damp. Slightly reduce
the feed of the animals and see that
they have plenty of exercise. To pre-
vent a spread Of the disease, disin-
feet the harness and use whitewash

LEMON JUICE CLEANS COATED
ALUMINIUM WARE

Aluminium ware which has been
coated can be cleaned by a weak sell
ution OF nitric acid, (less than l per
cent sOlutiOn) vinegar or lemon
juice. Nitric acid solution will re-
move spots and form a light coat Of
oxid Of aluminium, which will protect
the ware against further deposits.
Strong solutions Of acid such as mur-
attic should never be used as they will
dissolve the metal. Ordinary laun-
dry soap and securing and washing
powders are dangerous to use. Care
should be taken that alkaline sub
stances such as soda and caustic
soaps should not come in contact
with aluminium.

TEST YOUR SOIL WITH LITNIUS
PAPER

Have you tested your soil for acid
ity? Just a few cents worth of blue
litmus paper will enable every farmer
in Ohio to determine whether his soil
needs lime now. One of the easiest
methods of testing is pointed out by
NJ. A. Batchell, of the Agricultural
College Extension Service of Ohio
State University, is to go into field
when the soil is moist and insert a
knife blade into the under layer of
soil and place strip of the litmus
paper into the opening made by the
blade. Then press the soil firmly to-
gether on the paper and let stand for
twenty minutes. Then remove the
paper and notice its appearance. If
delicate streaks of red are found on
the paper, lime should be applied tp
correct the acidity, Ordinarily from
two to four tons of ground limestone
Will neutraliZe the acids in the soil.

!, was among our business callers
