Clifton Hess, an employee of this

depot the other day and noticed a
woman. A half hour later he looked
again and still saw the woman. She
had changed her position only slightly,
moving down the railroad track a few
feet. She seemed to be strolling leis,
urely along, covering about a foot a
minute.
Curious to determine the reason for
her actions. Hess walked outside to
get a better view. Then it was all

his craw while the woman kept up
with the procession.
Later on during the day the good
news must have spread, for there ar
peared on the scene several other
chickens with owners attached to
them by strings. AS the ground be-
came clean the procession slowly
moved from view.

PARsIMONY is NOT ECONOMY
Want Use Situation as Excuse
for Going Without.

It is a curious and mOrtifying con-
ditiop of the prevailing Economy that
many people abundantly able to buy
what they want use the situation as an
excuse for going without. What does
this profit them? It merely makes
them richer at time when the talk
Is Of being poorer, says the Hartford
Courant.
Food is one thing and clothes and
other articles that shoppers buy
are in distinctly other class.
When Smith cut down the sugar,
there is more sugar for Jones,
and the supply of sugar is limited. But
when Mrs. Smith goes without a cloak
for which she can easily pay and
which she expected to buy this season,
she is not helping Mrs. Jones to get
1t; she is simply misering along in her
own way, and to her small ability driv-
ing poor people out of work and dis
couraging merchants whose capital is
invested. This isn't economy. 1t is par
smOny.
If everybody should quit making
purchases, what would become Of
manufacturers or dealers and of the
larger number of workers? It Is a
good time to keep level head. Many
who watch the tendency Of business
say frankly that people Of limited
means are less saving than those who
can we'll afford to get what they
want.

Cantonment

It is said that the reason why ssy-
eral high officials of the United States
government continue to pronounce It
"cantone-ment" is because they got
started that way and are now unable
to stop. The president, however, says
"can-t'n-m'nt," with the accent on the
first syllable. 1t Is worthy of men,
ton that Professor Hunt of Princeton
puts it "con-tonn-ment," with the ac-
cent on the second syllable, thus dis
agreeing with former head of that
institution, and that while the presi-
dent has the latest revisions eS the
Century, Webster's, WOrcester's, and
the Standard dictionaries on his side.
Doctor Hunt is backed by Sir James
A. M. Murray's new English and Stor-
months dictionaries. 1t is estimated
that so per cent of the United States
army and government officials insist
on "can-tone-ment." The other 50
per cent, 1t may be presumed, follow

Ohio Man Gets U. S. Post.

Once more Uncle Sam has reached
out and taken an Ohio man, George A.
Burrell of Cleveland. and put him in
one of the major posts in the vast war
machine that has been constructed to
crush Prussian militarism.
Burrell has been made director Of
gas warfare for the army and navy.
and his particular task is that of
matching his skill against the in
genuity of German chemists. in manu-
featuring death dealing devices.
Burrell was born and reared in
Cleveland. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs
A. A. Burrell. reside at 1001O Somer
set avenue N. e.
He attended Broadway school and
was graduated from South High
school and Ohio State university
Most of his years since completing his
education have been spent in chem
teal laboratories. Many of his expert
ments proved useful to the Newburg
steel mills.
Burrell made a study of mine gases
