Invents Automatic Coupler

Victor Jones who came to the
Keuterville section last year from
Montana and purchased a timber
farm there, is the inventor of a
new car coupling device that
promises to be one of the success
full inventions of the age and
bring the young man a modest
fortune. The coupler is an auto
matte air coupler that works
without the necessity of a man
going between the cars and will
prevent thousands of accidents
to trainmen each year when it is
adopted. Mr.. Jones started
working on the device some four
months ago and when the patent
was submitted to Washington he
was at once summoned east to
explain it. He secured the pat
ent without trouble and has sam
Piles made and tried out on the
local railway, where it worked
quite satisfactorily. The new
patent will probably be tried out
on other roads and if found to be
entirely satisfactory will COM
mand a big price. We hope it
proves all the inventor desires.
"A sample coupler is now on dis
play at the Cottonwood Hard
ware store.

AS a consequence of the torrential

strictly warned against such an occur

great deal of excitement and anxiety
to number of parents was occasion
ed by reports that their children had
been drowned in the ditch, though no
accidents actually occurred from the
children's mischievOusness, except
that a numfkr contracted sickness
from playing i'll the water. s-.

"Sprinetime."
That autumn has come and spring has
Spring has come and winter has gone
The trees and flowers join in the song,
Happy children dance and sing,
Hear the bells of springtime ring. y
Dogwood blossoms, as white as snow,
hang down,
Little violets peep up DER all the
woods around,
The sun sends down her brightest rays
of light,
And pours a song into each heart so
bright,
And all at once we see the birds have
gone,
The robin seems to hush her daily
song.
So now we know by all these signs
so long,
gone. MARION DILL.

And on his face he wore a frown,
I greeted him with a pleasant smile
And asked him how he did the while
And then passed on.
The stranger | met another day,
Myself detected and cast down,
He met my gaze with, genial grace
And greeted me with smiling face,
And then passed on.
Twas thus we met from day to day
When our work was done,
And so betwixt a friendship grew
Until each others souls we knew,
AS we passed on. A. M. S.

THE WAR CALL
TO OUR WOMEN.

History T0COruS no nODlGF parsonage
than a woman giving up her son, her
father, her sweetheart her brother,
her husband-her all, for the sake of
her country, bidding him pour out his
life blood if needs be, willing liba-
ton upon his country's altar
In all nations, in all times, during
war, women have proved heroic. Her
name may not appear in the muster
roll, and her deeds may not be her
aided by minstrel tongues, still she
has ever been a hero-soldier, giving
her mind, her soul her heart and the
work of her hands to the cause of her
country.
.War-torn Europe at the very begin
ming of hostilities found her women
everywhere offering themselves for
service where ever they thought their
country could use them, though their
hearts were bowed in sorrow, for hus-
band, son, sweetheart, father, had
gone to the front. How heroic has
been their service through distress,
hunger, poverty and privation. The
women Of our country today are re-
spending nobly to the call of patrio-
tism in this the hour of great ma.
tional crisis, lining up with different
organizations to train for service to
her country.
Looking out over the tremendous
issues before us in the present cris-
is, which involve our national honor
safety and future destiny, and which
threatens every moment to throw us
in the midst of the world war, we can
but realize the awful gravity OF the
situation. And if the worst should
come, we realize that our country will
need her women as we'll as her men
for war service. We may identify our
selves with the Red Cross or the Ma
tional League for W0mens service, or
any organization we see fit. But no
matter about the organization, 1t be-
hooves our American. women every
where at this hour to take definite
steps to prepare themselves for the
best service they are capable Of CIV
ing their country Our best service
certainly may not mean a Red Cross
nurse on the field Of battle, but eff
ficiency in conserving the home. To
be an accredited Red Cross nurse
would mean "two years of previous
experience in a hospital of not less
than so beds and then training for
field service
To be an aid to a Red Cross nurse
does not take such long training but
whatever the training, it must spell
efficiency
Everywhere women are being urged
to train Immediately for service by
learning to do things which will con
serve the home. This is the woman 8
preparedness call Of the hour If our
men should be called to the front the
women must be able to carry the
means of livelihood at home, be 1t on
the farm, in commercial life, or in the
literary world. The call is prepare
for service"
