The Perfectly Proper Lady.

She Yves always very proper in a highly
proper way,
She could not forgive woman who
would ride horse astride;
She would never show her ankles on a
rainy, sloppy day,
In her very proper mode Of life she took
proper pride
She would never think Of looking at a man
the second time
Ii formal introduction had not taken
place before;
n her solemn. sober Judgment flirting
was an awful crime,
And she blushed to even think about the
undcrclothes she wore
She was always highly proper in her man
ners and her dress,
II shocked her to hear people speak;
about the naked truth
In her opinion chairs had Limbs ; it
gave her deep distress
To think that men coud sometimes 81
immodest and uneouth.
When the doctor asked to see her tongue
she veiy nearly swooned.
| She was always on the lookout for a
shock whorc'er she went;
4 because OF NHat composed inc StllnG'
where by the thing was tuned
She thought the violin was not a proper
| instrument.
She often said if angels wore no clothing
in the skies
She hoped size wouldn't have to go t,
heaven when she died;
she preferred some lonely planet where
with plenty Of supplies,
She might in decent raiment be possessed
of proper pride;
But the night the conhagration started il
the fiat next door
She forgot that being proper was tn
only thing worth while,
And was carried down the ladder fror
about the seventh floor
With nothing much upon her but
mighty thankful smile,

FARMERS ARE
 AFTER RIGHTS

Due to the fact that the Cinema river is considered "navigable stream the farmers along the river are unable to get patents on their homesteads. This is virtually mis- take, for many farmers could not get even the lightest draught boats down the river this summer
 The Panama Valley Agricultural As sociation has taken the matter up and will try to prevail upon the war department to declare the Fairbanks bridge across the Cinema river as the head of navigation. In the event that this is done, the farmers can prove up and get legal title to the property above the bridge Dele gate Sulzer has been interested in the matter and it is hoped he may be the means of being ablo to ad- just things to the satisfaction of the Cinema river farmers.
 A petition will also be made for register and receiver in the Far banks land office

the request that the message be given publicity. In accord with tIe request, the governor gave the cable gram to the press and many papers published it, some of them even go- ing so far as to give the number and destination of the regiment, which is clearly in violation of the voluntary censorship.
 In assuming the responsibility for the censorship of themselves, the newspapers of the country asked the war and navy departments for sug- gestions as to what matters should be given notice, and upon the re- quest of these departments agreed to withhold all mention of move ments of American forces until they had been given permission to do SO A large number of papers refused to print the story which has caused the trouble

LONDON, Oct. Germany will shortly declare the coasts of the United States. Canada and Cuba to be in the war zone. according to wireless dispatches received from Berlin. Similar restrictions will be placed on this zone as have been prescribed by Germany on the Flu ropean war zone.
 It is believed that the adviCes re- ceived are reliable and that d few days more will see the publication of the new zone. It is known that Germany has been devoting all her energies to building enormous sub marines with a vast cruising radius to be used for this new blockade service It is also thought that she has been able to establish one and possibly more submarine bases some where in the neighborhood of these countries. It is believed that this is Germany's supreme effort to stop the shipment of supplies to Europe from America and stare England into q peace agre n;uel l.

 MUCH GREATER
 THAN RECEIPTS
{ A SSOCiated lTpSS)

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Oct. 16.- The total expenditures of the United States during the fiscal year since July 1 1917, has exceeded the amount of money collected from various sources by almost sl,000000 ,000 The total expenditures amount to a grand total of s3,O00 O0O,0OO, while receipts have been practically $500, ,000 900 less.
 Of the amount expended, $2,711,- 100000 has gone to the allied powers as loans from the American govern ment. This leaves a little more than $4,000, 900 900 left to be loaned to the allies out of the $70O0, GOO 900 authorized for this purpose by the special war session of congress.
 The greatest expenditures, with the exception of these loans, are the amounts alreacy expended upon the army, navy, shipbuiIding and the vast sums being expended on the aerial branch of the service. There is no indication of a decrease in the expenditures in any of these branch es, and they will probably be greater in the coming three months than during the quarter just closed.

DESIRE CHANGE
 In EXEMPTIONS
(ASSOciatRl Press

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct 16- It is possible that there may be a radical change in exemption regula- tions in a short time, as the shipping board is seriously considering recon mending that all shipbuilders be de clared exempt from military service, as this industry is most essential for the assurance of victorious conclusion of the war.
 If such recommendation is made, it is considered likely that it may be followed by other recommends tions dealing with workers in other essential industries, as all of them are hit to a greater or less degree by the loss of experienced workers at time when they are most need ed Should such recommendation be made it is considered unlikely that they will be disregarded, owing to the fact that these bodies are charg- ed with securing the utmost eff ciency and capacity outputs from all industries.

PETROGRAD, oct. 16.-The con tinued ill health of Premier keren- sky is causing the government more uneasiness now than the threatening movement of German troops in the Riga sector, according to official an rouncement today. The premier is reported to be in a hospital at gen efal headquarters suffering from a severe attack of influenza. and threatened with pneumonia.
 Owing to the fact that the premier is thought to be a sufferer from tuberculosis, his illness is causing more worry to the officials than would otherwise be the case. Phy- scians, however, state that with the proper care and no unforeseen com plications arising, he will be able to resume active control of his duties in a few days.
