RIMES TO BE A PANTHEON?

What to do with the ruins of Rimes Cathedral f indeed there any ruins left by the end of the war-is question which to be agitating Frenchmen at the present time. Evidently it is gen orally conceded that there should be restoration. The following picturesque suggestion made by unnamed army officer appears to have started a widespread discussion
 Tt is the view of all our officers that it (the cathedra) must not be repaired (says the writer). It must be strengthened skilfuly roofed and left a witness of Tcuton barbarty. Thither be transported the bones of the dead soldiers scat tered the fields of France In letters of gold tablets of marble should be inscribed the names of all the heroes dead for their country The mortuary should be surrounded with taken from the enemy placed upright and united by chains from German bronze Then, every year upon the date of the signing of peace, proclaiming the crushing of Germany, let France go thher to knee before her dead, while that day the army sends all its flags with delegation of officers and soldiers salute the heroes"
 The soldiers striking suggestion finds echo in the support of numerous artists including Rodin who considers the Idea of turning Rimes into pantheon quite simply sublime
 Included, however in the symposium of opinions, printed by La Revue of Paris, is eminently prac- tca objection from distinguished French architect Louis Bobnier. "One does not deposit million bodes,' he says, Tn the midst of a city, Self-ev- dent of expense of space and of hygiene op pose it absolutely We will discard also the idea of commemorative tablets. because the walls of the cathedral would not be big enough because it would be completely disfgured by them, and because q am obliged to speak architect the tablets the engraving alone allowing fifty letters per individual would cose more than 50 million francs Moreover while objectns restoration this writer looking at the sentimental side of the matter questions whether the cathedral should express desire of vengeance and hatred of the enemy.

Those Bean Fires

The loss by fire of single lot of beans would not in itself indicate incendiarism; the loss in the manner of second lot a considerable distance would suggest incendarism. But the loss of third lot in still another locality would greatly strengthen suspicion of the activities of a fire bug.
 There is nothing particularly nfammabe in a pile of beans. There none of the elements which enter into spontaneous combustion. There are not many ways in which accidental fires in a bean crop could be started and it is unlikely that any of these few could have been present in all these fires
 It may be suspected that there is fire bug at work with mania for the destruction of beans and no other crop. It would be well for of beans to guard their crops, be prepared with high power gun to deal with the destroyer, that there after the valleys bean crop would be safe.
 At the present prices it does not take many beans make a penny and some millions of them have been destroyed within the last weeks.

The New Beer

When President Wilson ordered Monday, a ducon the alcoholic beer to 2& per cent he came prescribing a soft drink for the nation That is a reduction of ll per cent from the normal strength of beer That will leave a beverage of a strength, lack strength that would leave to the chronic beer drinker little choice between it and those malt compounds made to conform to the laws of prohibition states
 Many man has been heard to say that he could not get drunk on beer Probably every man who ut tered that dictum has later changed his mind Beer has landed the with the stoutest stomach and the evelest head in the gutter. IL is insidious drink.
 The new beer will have not only d lower alcoholic content but it will contain also less cf solid matter which into the manufacture of beer this means that there will be water Also it will go more directly at any rate, quickly from the brewery to the consumer for the beer compounded under the prescription will have very persistent keep Ing qualities.
 While the order of the president will be received with regret by the professional beer thinker the ef- feet produced will such as that which caused in England resembling of an order last spring weaken beer and reduce the volume. Though perhaps there is not more beer consumed per capita in England than in the United States it is of institution in the former country, ranking perhaps though be- low the British constitution and Magma Charta.
 Naturally there was uprising among agricultural Iaborers and tradesunion men. which threatened serious interference with the war. The government found that its order a was cutting the wrong way. In this country though tradesunonism as a rule is rather opposed to alcoholic liquors. In the agricultural communities. in statRs. there

Never since the first Red Cross Seal was printed and attached to a letter carry Christmas cheer to faraway friend and incidentally, did tits bit in the fight of the Anti Tuberculosis Society has there been greater drive for the sale of the little messengers of health and Yule-Tide spirit With the discovery of thousands of unsuspected tuberculosis, revealed through the seecve draft aminations, the work of the Ant-Tubercuoss organ zations has been increased by many fold and funds needed than before to carry the work
 The drives at it's height in Phoenix and in fact throughout all of Arizona. Not only has the Maricopa society mailed out thousands of the little seals people known to be well able to purchase at least of the little seals, but the has been carried into the schools until today every school boy and girl is agent of the various county societies And reports received after two three days of this branch of the drive indicates that there will be eS ceponaly large sale. The children have entered into the work with will
 The only grievance the youngsters have mani Tested is in the discovery that many people have already paid one dollar for seals and feel that their duty has been performed in this respect The leaders of the movement for the sale of the seals point that the fact that dollars worth of seals have already been purchased should result a person visit If the purchase from the little amounts only to five or ten cents it all serves increase the aggregate and to make the boys and girls feel that their efforts were worth while. Some of the chil- dren have made sales amounting several dollars and hardly have reported sales falling below dollar.
 There is a duty which every good citizen should perform That is Buy Red Cross Seals and buy them often.

American Red Cross

Ignorant and reasonable persons, and those who wish to camoufage their penurousness have attacked the American Red Cross mainly the ground os the extravaganza with which it is co.~ucted It has been charged that d c-.-.--1lvely small part of the contributions - the Red Cross are devoted to the suppose purposes of the organization that the ar> frittered away in administration expenses
 "A reply which should silence these objeotors has recently been mace by MT. H. P. Davidson. chair nan of the war council of the Red Cross. Mir David son. by the way one of the foremost financiers, one of the business men of the nation. But he has turned over his vast affairs to other hands that he might bring his great executive ability into the serv- ice of the nation For this service he receives noth- ing and pays his own expenses.
 It is shown in his statement that just prior to our entry into the the membership of the American Red was 100000; there 200 chapters there were 75 paid officers and employees, and of these % received salaries ranging from 5000 toS75oO.
 Three months after our entry into the the membership of the organization 25OOOOO; the number of chapters had increased 1900, the paid officers at national headquarters were zoo and 4S received salaries ranging from S2OOO to $500.

Dubuque Sept. a4.--Crop conditions,
according to the Illinois Central crop
report, have been excellent during the
past week. The extent of the damage
due to the blighting hand Of frost mas
been found to be comparatively slight
after a second examination.
Exaggerating accounts spread broad

ed this. Farmers are preparing the
ground to plant the fall wheat. In
many sections of the division OF the
Illinois Central the autumn wheat has
been sOwn.
The Illinois Central weekly crop bull
letin is as follows:
''The past week has been especially
favorable for rushing corn crop to ma
turity. Only on the first day was tenn
perature below normal and since then
it has been dry and warm.
las I advised in my report last
week. the frost of Sept II resulted in
considerable damage in the northern
counties Of Iowa, but the first estl-
mates as to the extent of damage done
were, evidently exaggerated. Damage
from frost was quite severe in certain
localities, especially along streams and
in many low places, but damage was
prevented in some Of the river and
creek valleys by heavy fog, which pre-
vailed on that morning.
There was little or no injury on
uplands, and while 30 or 40 per cent
Of the corn in territory adjacent to
our lines on the Albert Lea district was
frosted, it is estimated that not mora
than per cent of same will be I'M
understandable. Frost also did consid-
cradle damage to late potatoes, garden
truck and beans.
THE filling of silos has begun and
considerable corn has been cut for fod-
der. Corn canning factories are run
ming full blast on sweet corn. which

REQ Oak, Sept. 24.-The Montgomery
county "feud" is not going to be
stopped by any turn of the Kelly MUIR
der trial. Even if Kelly. is convicted
by the jury who are to determine his
fate. the activities Of those in this
community who believe him innocent

parties are responsible Cor the vii
lisca tragedy are not to cease.

he stood In front Of the johnson hotel

Peterson is recognized as one Of the
strongest leaders in the so-called
Wilkerson following Peterson says
that If Kelly is found guilty they are
preparing to carry the fight into the
highest courts. And Peterson says he
will spend considerable chunk of his
own money in waging that fight Mr.
Peterson is reputed to be wealthy. Joe
Stillinger, father of the two little Still
inger girls who were slain by the
axnlan. was standing alongside of Mr.
Peterson and voiced the Asame senti-
ments. II Kelly is acquitted the fight
which the faction is making to fasten
the crime on others will still go on.
One Of Defsnses Failed.
While it was announced in the court
that one of the defenses to be made in
Kelly's behalf would be that other par
ties were responsible for the crime the
defense met with stonewall resistance
in it's efforts to bring this feature into
the trial. The first rebuff came when
the state succeeded In having thrown
out all the testimony of r HI. Thorpe
Jefferson seed merchant who had ties
titled to seeing two strangers board a
train at Clarinda on the morning Of the
murders. One Of these men he identi
fled as Bill Mansfield This testimony
had been counted upon as vital link
inf the defense,s chain Of evidence The
next setback came when Judge Boies
refused to permit thirteen. witnesses
to testify WHO were expected to trace
an automobile trip taken early on the
morning OF the murders by Albert
Jones, son of F.. F. Jones' and Bert Nc
Caull. The. testimony Of Mrs. Alice
Willard. who claimed to have over
heard certain persons plotting the muir
der near the Joe Moore home on the
night before, was not even offered in
court by the defense. 1t has been ex-
pected she would testify. The one
principal witness OF this part OF the
Kelly defense whose testimony went
to the jury was that of Ed Landers OF
Shenandoah who told Of seeing AL
bert Jones' go into the death house on
the night Of the murders. The state is
understood TO be laying heavy guns in
