Just before leaving yesterday Lieut..
Jeffrey received a wire from Prosser
saying that eight new recruits had
been signed up there while there is a
fine bunch of young fellows at North
Yakima waiting to sign up.
The drawing in the selective draft
has speeded up enlistments in all
branches of the service. Lyle john
son, who has been spending his vaca-
ton in Seattle, was home for one day
this week. He has enlisted in the
railroad army engineers and will go
into training at once. Herb Craver
gave up his job with the N. P. and
left this week and went to Seattle to
enlist in the engineering corps. P. L.
Mooney, who is on the reserve list of
the Washington National Guard has
been ordered to report in North Yaki-
ma tomorrow. Mr.. Mooney hoped to
be relieved from service in the Ma
tional guard and to enlist either in
the auto truck division of the engin-
eering corps or the naval militia. A
bunch of half dozen Richland boys
expect to leave this week for Seattle
to enlist in the naval militia.

Sharpness Of Madmsn.

In Sir William Buffers autobiogra-
ply there is an amusing story about
six insane soldiers who escaped while
the corporal who had brought them on
board the troopship left at Dur
ban and who mingled with the 1900
sane men on the decks. The problem
of the voyage was to find who were
the six madmen. By the time the boat
reached Cape Town twenty-six men
were officially under observation, and
not one Of the six was among them.
In the end the crazed half dozen were
identified as those who had taken an
especially eager part in the lunatic
hunt

Just the Thing

Five-year-old Mary, who is always
anxious to be in everything that goes
on, lives in small town where the
long-suffering minister still endures
donation parties to make up his back
salary. Just before the last one, says
the Christian Herald, she begged eag-
erly:
"Can't I take something, too, muv-
ver?"
mo; if your father and take some
thing, that will be plenty"
But the child could not bear to give
up the idea, so she ransacked the
whole house for something suitable.
Finally she appeared before her moth
er with worn and faded dress Of her
own.
please, muvver, can't take this
See, it's not a speck Of good for any
thing,v she urged.

OCEAN Currents.

There are twenty-seven permanent
currents In the oceans OF the world,
and there are nearly as many more OF
the semi-permanent variety existing at
one time. Several causes tend to orig
mate and maintain these drifts. UNI
formly directed winds have the great
est influence. and differences OF tenn
peratures. storms. polar Ice and eddies
have each some effect. creating usually
the currents Of semi-permanent va
riety.

POISON GAS BEETLES.
Fumes With Which Bombardisrs Keep
Their Enemies at Bay.

Fumes With Which eombardiers Keep
Their Enemies at Bay.
Most people think that the use of
poison gas in warfare is purely
human, or perhaps one should say in
human, idea. Yet the plan has been
adopted by nature. Certain kinds Of
beetles known as bombardiers and
called by scientists Brachinus make
free use Of poisonous fumes to keep
their enemies at bay.
A typical species known as Brachi-
nus crepitans is largely attacked by
certain ground beetles. These ground
beetles are very active and can easily
overtake the bombardiers. Just as they
get within reach, however, a very
strange thing happens. The bombar-
der has, the power Of ejecting pecul-
lar liquid, which, when it comes into
contact with the atmosphere, bursts
into sort of pale green flame. This is
Immediately followed by kind Of
smoke.
Now, this smoke has remarkable
effect upon the pursuer. No sooner do
the fumes come into contact with the
ground beetle than the creature is
blinded and stupefied. A strange pa
ralysis Overtakes the insect, and 1t
seems unable to move any farther.
Quite while elapses before the ground
beetle RECEIVERS. In the meantime the
bombardier makes good his escape.

Lieuten,n. General.

Many Of us are puzzled to know why
a lieutenant general ranks higher than
a major general. Perhaps the explana-
ton is that the titles date back to the
commonwealth. when the country was
divided into military districts. the less
important under the control Of SER
geant major general, the rank beyond
that OF colonel. and the more impor-
tant being governed by a lieutenant
general. the captain general being
Cromwell himself. The lapse OF time
has deleted the sergeant from the SER
geant major general.-London Chron-
icle.

Time in the Trenches

"Time flies in the trenches" said
War Correspondent Frederick Palm
er, as quoted in the Washington Star.
There's more fun than you'd believe
in the trenches. And how time flies
there to be sure!"
II saw a young soldier sit down one
day to write a letter. He jcrked a
stream Of ink out of his fountain pen
to make it run, and then he said to
his chum:
"'What day is it, Bill?'
Tuesday," said Bill.
Tuesday, the what, Bill?'
The 18th
Tuesday, the 18th of what, Bill?'
"tMarch.'

A Joke Espangnole

"'Bustamenti,' which means lunch
in Spanish, was the name of Mexi-
can who lived near the border. He
had two crowbait horses and they were
compelled to subsist on grass, which,
during the dry season, is hard to find.
So one day friend stopped Busta-
menti and said to him: 'Bustmenti,
why do you feed your horses barrels p
I feed no barrels Bustamenti replied
with dignity. 4 feed grass only sOh,
yes you do the friend persisted. 4
know you do, because I can see the
hoops sticking out of their sides.'"

Wonderful Stuff!
 Lift Out Your Corns

No humbug! Any corn, wheth- CT hard, soft or between the toes will loosen right up and lift out without particle of pain or sore ness.
 This drug is called freezone and is compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man.
 Ask at any drug store foT Q small bott,3 of freezone, which will cost but a trifle, but is suffi- cient to rid ones feet of every corn or callus.
 Put few drops directly uU0n any tender, hching corn or c9llus, any tender, bching ssrh or sallus. Instantly tfh h ,ssrenoss disappears and shortly sfho corn or callus will loosen anu caa he lifted of with the fingers.
 This drug freezone doesn't eat out the Corns or calluscs but ghfiV- els them without even irritating the surrounding skin.
 Just think! No pain at all; no sroencss or 9marting. when applying it or afterwards. If your druggist don't have freeZone have him order it for you. *tf

hundred people from the surround ing towns in Missouri, with the
 Paragouldians and the citizens of Cardwell, made of the affair a gala occasion. The A. O. U. W. band accompanied the Paragould delcga- tion and furnished the music for
 the evening. The Paragould
 Guards, commanded by Captain Shane, went in a body. M. P. Hud- dclston of this city was the princi- pal speaker.
 A large band stand and dancing pavilion were erected in the center of Main street. These were deco rated with American flags Sur rounding the pavilion and band stand,~s in lines on every side were red, white and blue electric lights. A parade, which was the first event of the celebration, was headed by Mayor Long, and following him was the queens float Miss Lizzie Long, daughter of the mayor, was queen, and sat with dignity upon her throne of white, surrounded by eight attendants, who also were dressed in white. Following this float were Captain Birchett and Sergeant Acres, riding at the head of the A. o. U. w. band The Paragould Guards, lead by Captain Shane, followed the band. The re mainder of the parade consisted of decorated automobiles and the Card well auto fire truck. One float de- serving special mention was a pa triotic one, representing America. Miss Scott, dressed as Columbia, and Earl Bishop, as Uncle Sam, sat on a high elevation in the cen ter of the wagon, surrounded by school children, who were arrang- ed in rows. Those in the first line of patriots were dressed in red the
