is LongtelloW'S poem describing
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
OF the midnight ride OF Paul Revere
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy
FIVE;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and
year.
He said to his friend, eff the British
march
BY land or sea from the town tonight,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
OF the North Church tower as a signal
light
One, IL by land, and two. if by sea;
And on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and
farm,
For the country folk to be up and to
arm"
Then he said, Good night" and with
silently rowed to the Charlestown
shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay.
Where, swinging wide at her mornings,
The Somerset. British man-of-war;
A phantom ship. with each mast and
spar
Across the moon like prison bar.
And a. huge black bulk, that was mag
nined
BY its own reflection in the tide.
Meanwhile. his friend. through alley
and street
Wanders and watches with eager ears,
Till i'm the silence around him he hears
The muster of men al the barrack door,
The sound of arms, and the tramp Of
feet,
And the measured tread of the grena-
diers,
Marching down to their boats on the
shore.
Then he climbed the tower of the Old
North Church.
BY the wooden stairs, with stealthy
tread
| To the belfry chamber overhead.
| And startled the pigeons from their
| perch
On the sombre rafters, that round him
made
Masses and moving shapes Of shade
/ BY the trembling ladder. steep and tall,
| To the highest window in the wall,
| Where he paused to listen and look
/ moment on the roofs of the town,
/ And the moonlight flowing over all.
Beneath in the churchyard. lay the
| dead.
| In their night-encampment on the hill.
4 Wrapped in silence so deep and still
! That he could hear, like a sentiners
tread.
! The watchful night-wind. as it went
| Creeping along from tent to tent.
1 And seeming to whisper. "All is well,'
/ moment only he feels the spell
| OF the place and the hour, and the Sc
| cret dread
| or the lonely belfry and the dead:
! For suddenly all his thoughts are bent
| On a shadowy something far away.
/ Where the river widens to meet the
| A line OF black that bends and floats
! On the rising tide, like a bridge of
| boats
/ Meanwhile. impatient to mount and
ride.
Booted and spurred, with heavy
stride
/ On the opposite shore walked Paul Re-
we're.
| Now he patted his horses side.
| Now gazed at the landscape far and
| near
| Then impetuous. stamped the earth.
And turned and frightened his saddle
But mostly he watched with eager
search
The belfry-tower of the Old North
Church,
! As il rose above the graves on the hill,
Lonely and spectral and sombre and
still.
And 10. as he looks. on the belfry's
height

Chasing the red-coats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road.
And only pausing to fire and load.
So through the night rode Paul Revere
And so through the night went his cry
of alarm
To every Middlesex village and FARM
A cry OF defiance and not of fear.
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the
door,
And a word that shall echo forever
more!
For. borne on the night-wind of the
Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour Of darkness and peril and
need
The people will waken and listen to
hear
The hurrying hoof- beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul
Revere.

Feed Cotton Seed
Meal With Corn

The following is a COPY of an adver-
tisement printed in several South Caro-
lima papers, by the South Carolina cot
ton seed crushers' association:
CORN SELLING AT s172 A BUSHEL
WHOLESALE, WORTH SAVING,
ISN'T 1T?
The feed your work-stock a ration of
cotton seed meal with corn. Dr. TAFT
Butler says that if you are feeding your
mule IA pounds of corn per day. you can
take out four pounds and put in two
pounds of cotton seed meal and get bet
ter results.
Four pounds of corn is worth IL cents
today. Two pounds OF cotton seed meal
is worth cents-a saving of cents per
day on each animal fed. In 365 days you
would save $500, if you put into prac-
tice the advice of DR.. Butler who is con-
ceded to be the highest authority on
feeds and feeding. 1t is as necessary 20
save as 1t is the produce, and Saving
and producing" are the watchwords of
today.
Path, 1917. DR.. Butler recommends the
following ration for work-stock when
cotton seed meal is used:
"G) / part cotton seed meal by
weight to parts of corn.
"(2) 1 part cotton seed meal to s
parts corn, 4 parts oats.
"(3) l part cotton seed meal to 10
parts oats.
ITO be fed with usual quantities of
grass-hay, corn-fodder, etc"
These are war times. Corn is human
food. Better save ii.
A pint to a quart of cotton seed meal
fed daily will produce good results.
Food nrenarednAss nroprap, (distrih
uted by the Farm Development bureau Of
the Memphis business mems club
There are I'm the eleven cotton states
$500, 900 horses and mules.
If each of the were fed two pounds of
cottonseed meal per day it would release
pounds of corn each day from the usual
daily feed of about IA pounds, and 200
days of such feeding to all horses and
mules would release 100. 10000 bushels
of corn for human food,-and the mules
would be benefited by the change.
lbs. of corn at $1.55 per bushel costs

The feeder would thus save Z cents
per day on each head of stock. or a saw

RCMORED MOVE OF THE
 VALDEZ-GULKANA MAIL

It is reported that a movement is on foot to route the summer mail from Valdez to Gulkana, the contract for which has more than a year to run, from Chitina instead of Valdez, and running it in connection with the N. c. Co.'S. contract, branching off at Willow Creek and taking in Ton sina, Teikhell and Beaver Dam, and cutting out Ptarmigan Drop, the Sum- init, Wortman and Comfort, which were served by the contractor when operating from here. If the projected change is made these four stations will be left entirely without mail ser vice, and it is believed that cham Ter of Commerce, city council and other civic bodies should take up the matter at once to prevent the pro- jected change being made.
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-04-02

THE information received here to- day that Valdez had lost the mail con- tract between this point and Fair- banks was not much of surprise :. our people, who realized that if this contract was secured it would be in the face of bitter opposition by gov ernment officials, who are willing to sacrifice expediency to politics. The mail by way of Valdez arrived in Far banks from three days to week sooner than by way of the Copper River railroad and Chitina. but this fact was not taken into consideration when the contract was let. The pow erful transportation companies Of the interior running to Chitina wanted the contract and no matter how small the Valdez bid would have been it is doubtful if it would have received consideration.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.

1 FROM the beginning of the war
 nearly three years ago, there have
 been repeated predictions of a revo-
 lution in Russia. The theory has
 been, particularly among the Central Powers, that Russia has been bled
 white of men and money, and that 5 she will be forced to revolt for sep arate peace.
 The sensational upheaval which marked the downfall of Czar Nicho- ! Has II is one of the most startling and possibly one of the most important developments of the war, but such in- formation as has been received indi- cates that it has not been a demon stration for peace. Whether as an epoch in Russian history its signifi- .cance is mostly internal or external cannot yet be said with certainty. Seemingly it has been protest sagaint official corruption at home as swell as a defiance of the pro-German Selement in bureaucratic circles. For several days previous to the srevolt inklings of the disturbance had kreached the outside world despite the rigid censorship, hut none hardly e.. spected so dramatic a development a.
 hhe overthrow of the czar would take
 place.
 The impression given through the
 cloud of secrecy has not been that
 the czar was pro-German in his sym spathies but it has been known that
 as figurehead he has long been dom Hnated by 3 clique of reactiOnaries. krhe aeSsination of the priest Ras- sputin, who exercised an almost mag sical influence over the emperor was hnterpreted as part of plan to elimi- saate the pro-German element, for the 6 eason that Rasputin was pro-German &n his sympathies. The fact that he sxas murdered by members of the sduma-which is the only representa- Rive body of the Russian people in the sgovernment-mayb be of significance. < 1t seems clear enough that the 'Sarmy and the people co-operated to sDverthrow the bureaucracy and the sbnly safe course for the czar was to B sbdicate. The conclusion at Wash @ngton and also in London-which Snay be prejudiced-is that the revo- Button was victory for the anti-Ger- Rnan forces; although today's dis 5oatches would indicate that the peo- S,le are on the verge of declaring d %eparate peace with the Teutons. In Base this is done it will be we'll nigh s impossible for the Allies to expect to 3,ring the war to more successful termination than a draw. But the # breed abdication of the emperor is sa triumph for the influences which E ong have striven to eradicate the cor R.upt,- grating interests which have Enade. Russia a synonym for misrule
 and tyranny.
 \ In disposing of one of the Roman
 bffs and taking on another ruler the
 people may have acted wisely and
 they may do worse. The czar was an
 inoffensive, pamby-namby flgurehead
 ht the best; and the new ruler may
 be worse in many respects than the
 bid.

terpreting the strategy of von Hin denberg, but it probably is the most Illuminating dispatch that could get by the German censors. |t Reports from allied sources during the past few weeks have shown that the Germans in retiring have carried out an organized and effective cam paign of destruction. The correspon dent says that according to the views in Berlin the object of destroying ev- erything abandoned is to lead the en- tente forces across barren ground. A
 "high military authority" is quoted as saving that no special military sig nificance attaches to any section of the long fronts where fighting is ill progress, and he adds:
 Therefore we can give up DOT ton of the west front, secure our troops that freedom of movement needed and end trench warfare. That is what this really amounts to. We are now getting the enemy out Of their trenches. The giving up of this portion of our front puts an end to all their spring offensive plans. Ever since November hundreds of thou sands of men have been at work building trenches, intuition depots, railroads, and cable lines to prepare for the biggest spring offensive of the war. In the face of our withdrawal all this is useless. Four months work of millions upon millions of dol lars in value have been rendered worthless while, more important still, all the enemy plans are likewise of no worth"
 He proceeds to say that it will take the allies months to outline new plans and that meanwhile the Germans are occupying new positions back of the old front which were built with the aid of every possible device developed in two and a half years of war. The contention is advanced that the Ger mans on taking up these dominating and strategically located positions, will have all the better of the situa- tion, because the allies will have to occupy a devastated territory while their communications will be render ed increasingly difficult to maintain.
 The entente countries realize that the decisive struggle of the war is yet to be fought and the coming season is expected to witness it. Whatever ob- feet the Germans may have had in mind. the advantage appears to be with the allies. The fact that the Teutonic cohorts are forced to wlth- draw to new defenses show that the allied offensive was feared and that Germany is resigned to a, defensive style of warfare.

HISTORIC FRENCH CHATEAU
 RUINED BY GERMANS

PARIS, April 2.-Another outcry was raised throughout France today against the vandalism of the Huns' when the war office reported that the historic ruins of the castle of Coucyle Chateau had been blown up by the Germans. The ruins were one of the best monuments of the feudal ages ir Europe. This huge stronghold, which covered II ,OO0 square yards was built early in the 18th century by Eugucr- rand, and until about 1400 it remain ed in possession of his family. In 1852 the castle was dismantled. The donjon was the finest specimen in Europe of medieval military architec- ture. It was 21O feet high, 100 feet in diameter and some of the walls 35 feet thick.

DESSERT To IEMPT,.iNvAtipa
Baked MIX With ,stssked or Fresh

.. +.
..tsA perfectly innocuous dessert for
the mosf-deiicate of patients is pro-
vided by baked milk, and 1t makes a
very pleasant accompaniment for
stewed or fresh fruit. It Is very sim
ply prepared, as the milk Is merely put
Into an earthen ware jar. covered tight
ly and allowed to bake in avery slow
oven for several hours, until 1t is Of
the consistency Of very thick cream.
The main attraction about that recipe
is its harmlessness, but really deli
cious and nutritious pudding can be
made from the following:
Rice Flour Pudding-One-half pint
milk, two tablespoonfuls cream, one
ounce butter, one ounce rice flour,
whites of two eggs, fiavoring, one ta-
blespoonful sugar. Put the milk, but
ter and sugar into saucepan and
bring inst to the boiling point; mix
the rice, flour and cream well together
and stir into the boiling milk; draw to
one side to cool and beat the whites of
egg to a stiff froth, then add them to
the rest. folding them carefully in SO
as not to break down their fluffiness.
Pour into fireproof dish and bake in
a quick oven until light golden
brown.
