Coming at time when every means locally raise the money needed to maintain the institution had failed offer is highly acceptable and gratifying, not only to the Woman's Civic Club and others interested the library but to the general public we'll

 Accordingly, she rendered check for $500 and agreed to furnish $75 month in order to keep the library open It costs approximately $100 month to maintain the institution, and Mrs Pardee rightly decided that community should be able to provide the other $25 month

THE "SAMMIES."

The "Sammies" are in Europe, they
 are there to save the day, They are there to take Old Glory to the
 forefront of the fray; They are there to oust the Kaiser and
 to crush the cruel Hun, And thcy'n never sound retreat until
 fair Freedoms cause is won. The "Samies' are in Europe, they are
 hiking towards the foe, And you cant keep them from winning,
 for they're in the right they
 know;
 And the Kaser's mighty worried as he
 chants his Hymn of Hate, For when "Sammies'' start to shooting,
 you can bet that they'll shoot
 straights
 The "Sammies" are in Europe to de-
 fend out liberty. And the world sautes the "Sammies'' from the dear Land of the Free; And when the "Sammies' meet the foe,
 the foe will taste retreat, For the "Sammies' have banner that
 has never known defeat. H.ckc .c n1J Yrorvv Jo

CHAPTER ONE
4THE PRICELESS INGREDIENT0'

Balterman leaned forward impress
sively in his chair.
"There is nothing further to be left
to doubt. gentlemen" he said. ONLY
one thing remains: We must go ahead
though the cost be millions. Do you
agree with me?'
The others about the directors
table merely stared They were afraid
to answer. Men of millions, rulers IN
the world of finance, capable OF hurl-
ing the Stock Exchange into furious
panic by a mere utterance, they feared
to say the words that would start the
wheels of a nation turning TO carry
out a mighty aim. Still, as they star
ed across the table at Balterman' tney
shrank. Strong wealthy, powerful
as they were, Balterman was greater.
He glared at them a moment and
spoke again.
81 repeat, gentlemen, what l have
inst said" His words we're quietly
spoken and calm, but they carried the
whole force of his character. He flut-
tered the yellow sheet of a cablegram
in his fingers. This message is de-
cisive. 1t means possibly conquest for
orr country. Alone, it is enough for
me. You know, all of you, that we con-
troll the greatest explosive in exis-
tence: you were present when the gov
eminent tests were made and an
nounced successful You know, also
that cinnabar is a necessary ingredient
of that explosive. We must have Gin
nabar, and, gentlemen, l intend thai
we shall have it.

seems almost impossible to obtain it.
1 learned but fifteen minutes ago,
through a confidential agent, that the
contract for cinnabar has been given
to a young American engineer named
Gwyn. He has been receiving ship
ments of it from the West by the Santa
Fe Railroad If we get Gwyn, and
buy him off, or get his mine, we shall
have accomplished our purpose. This
cable, as you know, places at our dis
ed to this end. Gentlemen, 1 am go

dreamed or. You shall remain here
until l return or you hear from me.
