AN IGNORANT EXPERT

Nemesis is knocking at Americas door, and famine

Professor Wygodzinski agricultural expert at the
Bonn University. We to have crop shortage says
this wise 'pi line" and with it shortage of labor to
handle what we net going to have-a crop Besides
this he says the country has potash and consequently
will grow less and less each year until we all starve to
death. The expert with the alphabetical kaleidoscope

Salem Girl Kissed
by Soldier Boys

"Sweeis for the brave" was evident
ly the thought of one Salem girl Tues
day evening about 10 O'Clock at the
Southern Pacific depot when a carload
of soldiers bound south stopped mo
ment
This girl believed in showing loyalty
to the soldier boys. The boys in olive
drab were leaning out of the ear win
dow, as soldier boys love TO do when
en- route.
Natural enthusiasm for the uniform
worn over manly breasts swelled in her
bosom and, some way OF other, she soon
found herself lifted from the ground by
stalwart arms up TO the level OF the
window.
Then there was a kiss.
Eager arms reached out and the girl
was lifted to the next window where
there was another kiss-perhaps two.
The pretty red lips of the Salem girl
were evidently greatly appreciated by
the soldiers for, without touching the
ground, she was passed the length of
the ear, and at each window gave and
took caress.
Nothing is too good for the defenders
of the flag, so the best was given
kisses of Salem girl.

(In John Fiske's American
Revolution.

On the night of the eighteenth Gage
dispatched force Of 500 troops under
+ Lieutenant Colonel Smith, to march to
/ Lexington, and, after seizing the pa
! triot leaders adams and Hancock)
TO proceed TO Concord and capture or
destroy the military stores which had
for sonic time been collecting there.
At 10 in the evening the troops were
rOwed across Charles river and pro-
leeeded by difficult and unfrequented
route through the marshes of East
Cambridge. until after four miles,
I they struck into the higbroad for Lex
ington. The greatest possible secrecy
was observed, and stringent orders
were given that no one should be al
lowed to leave Boston that night. But
Warren OWNED the purpose of the
movement, and sent out Paul Revere
by way of Charlestown.' and William
Dawes by way of Roxbury, to give
the alarm. AT that time there was no
bridge across Charles river lower than
the one which now connects Cambridge
with AlstOn. Crossing the broad river
in a little boat, under the very guns
of the Somerset man of war, and wait
ing on the farther bank until he
learned, froms lantern suspended in
the belfry of the North Church. which
way the troops had gone, Revere took
horse and galloped over the Medtord
road to Lexingtn, shouting the news
at the door of every house that he
passed. Reaching Mr.. Clark's (where
Hancock and Adams were guests a
little after midnight, he found the
house guarded. Hancock ordered the
guard to let him in On learning the
news, Hancock s first impulse was to
stay and take command of the militia;
but it was presently agreed that there
was no good reason for his doing so,
and shortly before daybreak, in com
pany with Adams, he left the village.
Meanwhile the troops were march
ing along the main road; but swift and
silent as was their advance frequent
alarm bells and signal guns, and lights
twinkling on distant hilltops, showed
but too plainly that the secret was
out. Colonel Smith then sent Major
Pitcairn forward with six companies
of light infantry to make all possible
haste in securing the bridges across
Concord river, while at the same time
