THEY ARE HERE.
A Gar Load OF Ford Automobiles
Just Received.

I have just received and unloaded
a car load of the celebrated Ford
Autos. Some of these have already
been sold and will be delivered as
soon as set up. The others will
not be on hand long as the demand
for this popular car is far greater
than the factory's output, notwith-
standing the fact that over 300, 900
are manufactured annually. If you
are thinking of buying a cara
Ford-see me before the present lot
is exhausted. The next best car for
the money is The Dodge Bros. l
also handle this car and will be
pleased to demonstrate it if you
should prefer it to a Ford.

Sales Day.

Monday was public salesday and
probably the greatest number of
sales made here in the past ten
years took place, sixteen in number,
involving tracts of land all the way
in size from a town lot to 5OO-acre
farm, and the marjority of them
were the result of foreclosure pro-
ceedings. Prices paid for the vari-
Gus offerings were small, and in
some cases the land was bought in
by the mortgage for less than the
amount of his mortgage. The sales
were attended by a large crowd of
people from the country.

Les Bagues Boches.

From the Manchester Guardian.
The monotony of life in the French,
as in the British, trenches is varied by
a number of small Industries, turning
to account bits of stone or wood or
enemy cartridge cases and spent hull
let's in ingenious trifles for use or for
mementos Quite the most popular
manufacture is that of finger rings
from the aluminium used in German
shells-"les bagues boches' they are
called. These are of many kinds, from
roughly followed out circlets to highly
polished rings decorated with delicate
~ shaped fern leaves and hearts or in
laid with pieces of polished French
copper on the top of the German metal.
The French soldiers carry this passion
for making amateur jewelry into hos
pital. The British nurses at LAbbaye
Royaumont tell us that most of their
patients who can use their hands are
busy making les bagues boches" at
every available moment after the sur
geon's morning visit. They all have
their little stores of German aluminium
in their musettes or pockets. and many
have brought with them a complete
outfit of files, wise. emery paper and
finger blocks cut from bits OF sticks.
When the time comes for the "sor;ants"
to bid good bye to comrades and staff
there is an interchange of souvenirs
Then it is that les bagues boches
fulfill "A pleasant destiny of further
strength ening the entente cordiale as
gifts for the fingers of British ward
sisters and nurses.

Room NOT AT HAMILTON.
Bermudans Know Nothing Of Re
ported Naval Battle.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, January 10
If battle has taken place between the
British armored cruiser Drake and the
German cruiser Room off Bermuda, as
reported in press dispatches yester-
day. nothing is known here of the oc-
currence. Numerous inquiries have
failed to confirm the report that the
Drake attacked and captured the Room
which is alleged to have captured the
Appam, now at Newport News.
These vessels have not reached this
port, and, SO far as can be learned, nc
advices have been received at Hamil-
ton to indicate that the Drake has
taken a prize into any other Bermuda
port.

College Value.

From the Pittsburgh Post.
Comment by DR.. Ballet of New York
University that present college terms
are -four years of loafing" gave to the
National Educational Association an
Incomplete thought resembling the re-
cent magazine article by college
undergraduate saying college courses
are so easy that students slip through
with little work.
The student who would derive the
most good from every course he elects
to pursue has occasion to apply HIM
self close enough to the work to make
it far from easy. OF course, If he ap-
proaches his college years as period
Of merely seeing how little is necessary
in order to slip through, it is quite
probable that with average mentality
he can slip along.
In that case the only thing that has
slipped is himself. 1t is certainly not
the college system. 1t rests with the
student whether he make the college
term -four years of loafing." or four
years of solid training.

CANADIANS DRAWING

Halibut Problem Is Becoming Seri.
Gus One for State Of Washing

Solution of the halibut fishing problem
on the Pacific coast. where the Canadian

Department. 1t has been suggested to

regarding the question:, wants the gov
eminent to place a tariff of = cents Z
pound on the fish which come into the
states from Canada, but Secretary Red
field does not approve of this. He de-
clared that there is peculiar si,ua ton
existing here in that any legislation, if
needed, would have to cover the general
problem and yet reach this particular
case.
Drawing the Fish Trade.
The Grand Trunk Pacific has recently
extended its line to Prince Rupert, Can
ada. just across the Alaskan line, and is
dra wing the fishing trade to that p.4ee
which formerly went to ketchican and
Seattle. The rates of shipment to the
states are lower. and. in addition. the
town is 600 miles closer 10 the fishing
grounds than Seattle. resulting in the
saving Of much time to the fishermen
and allows them to get their fish on the
market two days earlier.
IL iS suggested that the Canadian gov
eminent might listen TO reasoning and
permit the extension of the rail service
TO ketchican by ferryboat service. 1t
might also be pointed out that the
Alaskan trade is developing into a very
valuable one, and unless some trans
portation provision is made for the
American fisheries to land on American
shores Canada might be prevented from
getting any of the valua BILE Alaskan trade
for transportation.

How Boys Are Benefited.

More encouraging than the increase
inf numbers and clearer understanding
Of the purpose of scouting is the evil
dence of the increased benefits to boys
through the scouting program. said
the chief scout executive. He quoted
the report of the national court of
honor. which showed that in the past
year scouts had earned 146,11S badges
for proficiency, as compared Win
10i.197 badges earned in 1914.
Woodcraft as represented by many of
the requirements for second and first
class rank and the requirements for
such merit badges as camping. bird
study. pioneering. stalking. pathfind-
ing. astronomy. archery, conservation,
forestry, etc, is shown to be well in
the lead in the interest of boys engaged
in scouting. The chief scout executive
