provide a convention hall where con-

proposition, to which recourse should
be had only in the event that a har-
monious consolidation cannot be ef-
fected, l would suggest the forma-
tion of an association, the board Of
directors of which would be COM
posed in part at least Of the presi-

SENATOR SALISBURY
BACK FROM TRENCHES

Senator Willard Salisbury, Presi-
dent pro tempore OF the Senate. is in
Washington after a visit to the front
line trenches. and today is explaining
to his friends all the intricacies Of
underground warfare.
As he recites his friends have Wis
Ions OF Senatorial dignity mixed up
with mud. shrapnel and other un-
statesmanlike conditions. But be-
fore they ca ncongratulate him on his
escape from injury he gently let's
them in on the fact that his trench
experience was confined to training
camp lines at Fort Myer.

city with a view of inducing those
people who have come to Washington
during the last six months to bring
their families here and establish per-
manent residences or to attract ad-
ditional people.
It has been variously estimated
, that since January l, 1917, the popu-
lation of Washington has increased
anywhere from 20 to>25 per cent, or
from $4,000 to 100000. Such rapid
growth would have done credit to
the Western towns of mushroom
growth in the pioneer days. The
people now coming here are those
above the usual standard Of citizens
and every effort should be made 10

Hotels are now filled to their ca
pacity and vacant apartments and
houses are exceedingly scarce and
very difficult to obtain. A commit
tee should be appointed to endeayor
to relieve this congestion. The city
should obtain all the persons, both
of military and civil life, who are
called to Camp Meade, but cannot Sc
cure suitable housing accommoda-
tons there. II Washington does not
bestir itself they will go to Balt-

There are at present three trade
organizations in Washington, the
! Chamber OF Commerce. the Board OF
Trade and the Retail Merchants AS

formed excellent and creditable serv-

and affairs of the city. No argument

Architects for War Service.

An important work is being accom-
plished by the various state chapters
of the American Institute Of Archi-
tects in carrying out the request Of
the council of national defense that
a census be obtained of architects will
ing to serve the government In the va
rious departments where such techni-
cal services as they might offer would
be useful.
Each chapter is compiling a list In
which every qualification Of each man
enrolled is set forth. BY this very
wise method we may be sure that
every man that goes into the service
will find work awaiting him for which
he is best qualified. and we shall, 1t is
to be hoped, be spared experiencing

airplane flight over hostile guns in ac-
ton. So far the kaiser has confined
his air exploits to a modest trip in a
Zeppelin in peace time. His brother,
Prince Henry of Prussia, also had a

who have been up in airships are
King Victor Emmanuel OF Italy and

In the English royal family several
members made airplane flights when
flying machines were novelties, notably

Scots Hobnob With Australians.

The peculiarly fraternal sentiment
Of the Indian Ghurka regiments to-
ward the Highland corps has long ago
been indicated by Kipling and was
amply demonstrated again when the
Ghurkas were in France. Quite as
remarkable now is the warmth of COM
radeship that exists between the Scots
and the Australians. They "draw TO
each other" like old school fellows,
and in those bigger towns behind the
lines to which soldiers at long inter-
walls resort on a pass when the monot-
ony and squalor of trench or billet
life make certain towns as fascinat-
ing as a metropolis. Highland bon
nets and Australian sombreros gen.
orally go about in pairs. Isolated
Scots troops who find themselves just
now in the extensive are where Aus
tralians dominate the landscape are
assured Of a welcome as hearty as If
they were mascots, and the billy boils
with an enthusiasm no other occasion
would ~engender.

ians 1--WE have both the same idea Of

CALL TO COLORS WELCOME
Amateur Farmer Had Had Enough Of
Seeking to Coax a Living From
the Soil.

A man stood on the center Of q
cultivated quarter acre, a scufhe hoe
In his hand. Before him stretched
an army Of beets, their files joined
with a growth Of weeds, evil and in
sinuating, like Maximalists. Two
months ago this a had had the
Kerensky spirit, but the weeds seem
ed too much for him now. Every
shower brought up new patches OF
them. Behind him long rows Of let
tuce were going 10 seed. On his
right the hills of potatoes, fortified,
hoed and sprayed, now were willing
before their time under a blight as
mysterious and unfair as poison gas.
The heat rolled up the garden slope
like the gray waves at Verdun, but
irresistibly. Over in q n%eighbor's
field ii seemed to scorch the stubble,
yet kept enough moisture so that the
hay would not cure. Up the hill by
the house the lawn was uncut and
bees roared as they fed on the flow
ers of the neglected privet hedge.
Flies buzzed In the hot barn where
the motor car lay idle. On the vel
low, dusty road that led to Pickerel
pond nothing stirred until the rural
delivery carriers horse showed his
head above the hill, a silhouette
against the burning blue sky.
The grass in the orchard was high,
1t could be scythed and piled about
the trees as a mulch, but for what
immediate purpose when the peaches,
victims Of another blighting mystery,
hung like mummies?
A creaking of the well chain made
the hoeman turn toward the house.
The mail carrier had driven in to get
drink for his horse and himself. He
waved q letter to the man with the
hoe.

to shock; "but you won't have to go,
You're a farmer"

head like a hammer-thrower and sent

looked about him at the travail of his
field.

Sioux Falls.-The local authorities
are striving to discover the owner OF
fifty pairs Of women's shoes, which
were found in a grove on a farm near
Sioux Falls. They evidently had been
stolen and secreted in the grove by
the robber until such time as he could
spirit them out of the country and sell
them. No recent robberies of shoe
stores in this city or vicinity had
been reported, and the shoes may have
been brought quite a distance in an
automobile. whose tracks were seen
near the grove. The consignment o.
shoes vas turned over to Sheriff
Carlton in this city.

After Liquor SmuuoIers.

General and more stringent enforce

law is commencing to be manifest
over the state, two months after the
constitutional amendment went into
effect. 1t is now believed that the
store of liquor which had been &C
cumulated prior to July 1 has been
largely consumed and most Of the
supply now found has been imported
illegally, hence the decision to inl-
pose the maximum penalty in all
cases. Sheriff E. A. Keller Of Lake
county directed one Of the most
sweeping drives against bootleggers
in the past few days. Nine men were
arrested in raids in and about Madi-

Sisseton.-The annual meeting OF
the pastors and delegates from the
fifty-six Congregational and Presbyte-
rian Indian churches in South Dakota,
North Dakota, Montana, Minnesota
and Nebraska was held sixteen miles
northwest of this town. The meeting
is invited as the guest OF the churches
that are members of this conference
and this time was the guest of the
White Clay church, which is n OF
the several Presbyterian churches
that are among the SissetoD people.
There were about 1000 Indian peo-
pie gathered at this conference The
following was the program Of sub
jects under discussion: % To what
extent is divorce a sin and how far
does ii concern the church? (2) Is
the church prospecting among the In
dian people? (3) How can church
difficulties be settled? az Do family
relationships tend to make church
factions? (5) What is the preachers
business in the church? co. What is
the basis of difference in salaries Of
Indian and white missionaries? 60
Are the churches Of various denomi.
nations which are among the Indians
making good? (8)Can the Indians
now do without the governmental
guardianship? co. Which is the best
way to preserve health, by the taking
Of medicines or by sanitary living?
00) Should the Indians receive unre,
stricted titles to their lands or should
forty acres be made ~inalienable for
each Indian? 01O What should be
done 10 bring returned Indian stu,
dents into active church work? 12)
To what extent are the Indians con
cerned in the world war?
The discussion Of this last subject
which was n of the first undertaken
was lively, and the utteranCes were
all emphatically loyal and at the close
m of the Indian pastors moved that
a resolution of approval of the policy
Of the government be addressed tC
President Wilson, which was unani
mously voted.
Most of the program was made by
the Indians. The subjects were en-
Enthusiastically discussed.
