MESA. Aug. 2O.-Mesa had a real German Villa-I w. W. scare Sunday night at II o'clock Most people were in bed and asleep when they were aroused by what sounded very much like a combination of rapid firing guns and small artillery. The heavier discharges bore a remarkable re- semblance to the latter when the nearer was out of reach of the lesser and more rapid popping. Lights ap- peared in many homes and a hurried inquiry at the telephone office elicited the response from the night operator that she was trying to locate the po- lice in order to find out the trouble as calls were coming in from all over town. Some thought there was trouble in the Mexican quarter to the south east, while others guessed at I. w. W's trying to burn crops and being repelled by the farmers. One lady in sisted that soldiers at Granite Reef were repelling attempts to blow up the dam. The noise kept up for about fifteen minutes and the officers finally located big truck out in the suburbs. whose engine was waking up the town. The popu2ce went back to bed disgusted with the truck and almost angry because there was not really something worth getting excited over.
 Received His Call
 Warner Van Spanckeren, recent arrival in Mesa and employed at the Mesa City bank, has received his call t0 enlistment It came from his home in Iowa. He had previously seculeu permission to be examined in Maricopa county. This will be attended tC on Wednesday and il he passes the physi- cal examination he will leave for me Sunday. Mr. Van Spanckcren states that he will not claim any exemption. Lawyers Busy
 The old saying that Its n ill wind that blows nobody good, is being cnce more verified in the very busy offices of the local attorneys these days. Young men with their wives are seen in the waiting rooms while the lawyers are busy making out the other fellows reason as to why he ought not to go to war. In the main, they are men who are among the workers and without any surplus laid aside.

An overbodice and a tunic Joined
together, distinguish the smart and
snappy dress of wool fabric which Is
pictured here. Both are decided sue
cesses in this seasons styles. The
tunic is worn over a narrow, straight
hanging undersldrt and the sleeveless
bodice over lining bodice, with
sleeves attached made of the same cloth
as the dress or Of satin. Quite often
the undersliirt Is of satin also. These
two items Of information will prove
useful to those thrifty and patriotic
women who are conserving our wool
supply by making over a last years
suit or dress into this years model.
1t can be done very successfully when
a shortage of material is helped out
with satin sleeves or satin underskirt.
The dress pictured is excellent for
business or general wear. Machine
stitching in rows, buttons and button
holes give 1t tailored finish. The
tunic opens at the left side, with one
edge finished with buttonholes and the
other with buttons, manifestly made
for each other. But they are destined
never to be united, for mere slip of

PREVENTION is BEST
REMEDY FOR SCOURS
One Trouble Caused by Navel In
feCtion at Time of Birth, Other
Is Indigestion.

The most common trouble in raising
calves by hand on skim milk is scours.
There are two entirely distinct trou-
bles both Of which have the symptoms
of scours. One is from navel infec-
tion at time Of birth and the other is
from indigestion. If a calf becomes
Sick within few days after birth and
dies within a day or two the case is
probably navel infection. This trou-
BILE Is often called white scours be-
cause the passages from the animals
are generally white.
Indigestion is the cause of common
scOurs. This generally occurs when
the calf Is from two weeks to q
month old. Prevention Is the best rem
edy. The common causes of indiges-
tiOn are overfeeding; feeding milk cold
or sour; feeding sweet milk one meal
and sour milk the next; dirty pals,
troughs or stalls.
Each calf should be watched care
fully. At the first sign of foul-smell-
ing dung, its source should be deter
mined, as this Is one of the first indi-
cations of Indigestion. The amount
of milk fed should be cut to One-half
the usual amount and a dose of one
ounce of castor oil In milk, followed
by the formalin treatment, is advls-
able. The formalin treatment consists
in giving one tablespoonful Of forma-
lin solution, made by adding one-half
ounce Of formalin to 1914 ounces of
water, in each pint of milk. The
amount of milk fed may be gradually
brought back to normal after day or
two.
Many feeders have obtained good
results from the use of blood meal as
a means of correcting q condition of
scours. Where the case is mild tea
spoonful of the dried blood Is added to
the milk at each meal.
Preventive measures against scours
recommended by L. w. Wing of the
Missouri College of Agriculture are:
Care against overfeeding; regularity
of feeding; conditions of the milk at
feeding time; and cleanliness of the
pals, pens and stalls. In other words,
keep the conditions right at all times.

If you are looking for elegance in
n coat you are of the same mind
as the designer of the handsome model
shown in the picture. He has under
taken to make, with castor broadcloth
and beaver fur, a garment that can
not be outclassed by any rival, no mat
ter how rich or expensive. His achieve
ment is an example of the best art of
the tailor and merits study to make
this coat the peer Of far more costly
garments, the refinement of broad
cloth Especially in the color chosen),
long, graceful lines and superb tailor
ing are all combined In a result that
will delight the woman of exquisite
taste.
The coat is cut in the modlsh length,
is semi-fitted at the back and hangs
straight in front. 1t has fapped seams,
and slit pockets. cut in a curve. The
only stitching, put in solely to be orna-
mental appears in several rows below
the pockets and running parallel to
them. There are long shoulders and
roomy sleeves cut in the plain coat
sleeve fashion.
No other fur would do quite so well
for the ample collar and cuffs as bea-
yer, although seal or mink or kolinsky
all make a good finish. But the beaver
fur keeps the coat all in one color, for
even the huge, semi-transparent but
tons are Of the same color as the cloth.

mutilated by chance visitors and some,
according to authentic reports, were
torn into strips by their very guard

Many Beautiful Relics Preserved.
Less perishable and equally beauti-
tul relics still remain, most of them
in an extraordinary state Of preserva-
tion. The buildings themselves, some
of which cover as much as four acres,
are wonderful examples of Byzantine
architecture. There are choice speci-
mems of ancient and cunning mosaic
work. There are mural decorations
attributed to Byzantine artists so an
cient that their work has outlived
their fame and their very names are
legendary.
The Phlate or Font Of Laura in
front of the monastery church with
the marble panels was built in 1860.
The brick work was probably done in
the sixteenth or seventeenth century.
In the Monastery of Xiripotamo,
which, according to monastic tradi-
ton, was established by the Empress
Pulcheria in the fifth century, but
more probably was founded 900 years
later, is communion cup, carved
from solid jade, which bears an in
scription of the traditional founder
and is believed by many to be a true
relic of that earlier time.
Vatcpethi contains many veperated
and quaint treasures, some Of them of
great beauty. In the church is a
throne inlaid with ivory and nearby
chased silver jeOn of Andronicus II.
Palaeologus. An ancient case of solid
gold in which are receptacles for the
blood Of saints contains fragment Of
the True Cross, which is set in gold
and studded with large stones of pale
hue.
Most valued and most valuable from
a material point of view is the girdle
Of the Virgin Mary, which now, for
safe keeping, is in three parts, each
of them kept in q separate vault Of
the abbey.

PUT ALL MACHINERY

Farm Implements Have Ad-

Clemson College Bulletin.)

NCleHlSOn COIeBe BulleIln.D
Usually there are many who leave
their harvesting machinery out in the
weather for some time after all har-
vesting is over. Such a practice re-
suits in considerable damage to the
binders and other harvesting machin.
cry. All farm implements have ad.
vanced in price and carelessness in
taking care of them will cause consid-
erable loss. At no time hiss the use
of labor-saving machinery been in
greater demand on the farms, and ev-
cry farmer who has such machinery,
should by all means take the very best
care of 1t. Just as soon as one has
finished using an implement, it should
be put under shelter, and where it will
be kept in good condition for the next
crop. Binders are easily broken If left
in exposed places, where wagons and
other farm equipment are jammed into
the same corners. Quite often, now
ers, binders, wagons, etc., are all found
in one tangled mass in one corner of
the shed, along with the drills and
threshing machines. Such carelessness
can only result in some of the machin.
cry being damaged. By caring for
such machinery properly the lifetime
of the implements can be doubled

Founded In Third Century.
Although the remote history of the
colony melts into misty legend, it is
generally believed that the first rellg-
ious settlements on the peninsula were
made by refugees from the persecu-
tions of the Iconoclasts early in the
eighth century. The legends of the
monks attribute them to the age of
Constantine, in the third and fourth
centuries. Reference to the existence
OF the cluster Of religious brother
hoods is made in historical documents
of the ninth century.
The claims of the monastery of
Laura, founded about the middle of
the tenth century by st. Athanasius,
appear to be well founded and to make
it, for historical purposes, the most
ancient of the monasterles. There is
reason to believe that Vatopethi is
of about equal antiquity. According
to the InOnastic accounts of Vatope-
this founding, it Is the most venerable
of all the twenty, having been estab-
lished by TheodOslus in recognition
of the providential rescue Of his son
from drowning on the coast near by.
The most recent of the monasteries,
StavrOnikitu, was founded in 1915.
There are twenty Of them. They
are situated on the wooded and noun
tainous slopes of peninsula which is
forty miles in length and from four
to seven miles in width. The total
population of the peninsula is about
1000. Three thousand of the inhab-
itants are monks and the rest are lay
brothers.

From the United States Department of
Agrculture)
Seed corn may be left on the racks
where the ears have been dried. But
1t is generally preferable, says the
United States department of agricul-
ture, to store the ears in mouse-proof
barrels, boxes or crates during the win
ter In any case they must not be eX-
posed to dampness or they will absorb
moisture and be injured.
After hanging in the drying shed,
or lying on the racks where there, is
constant circulation of dry air for the
first two months after they have been
selected from the stalks in the field,
the seed ears should be bone dry and
contain less than 10 per cent of mois-
ture. Some farmers place the thor
Oughly dry ears in the center of
wheat bin and then fill the bin with
loose, dry wheat.

If signs of weevils or grain moths

n fair estimate of the rat population
Of farm would be about % to 80.
These rats eat chickens, stored grain,
corn, wheat and other small grain, and
some of the food prepared for the ta-
BILE. The grain farmer does not notice
the loss of grain readily since much
of it is picked up in the fields by mice
and rats. However, some idea of the
loss can usually be gained by examine
ing the crib in spring when the corn
supply becomes low. On some farms
several bushels of corn will have been
shattered by rats and mice and the
germs of the grain removed. This rep
resents merely the grain which was
partly eaten. 1t does not represent
that which was entirely consumed By
the rodents.
e. w. Lehman of the University Of
Missouri college of agriculture sug-
gests that since farmers are doing
their utmost to produce maximum
crops they should also take necessary
precautions to save the food produced.
One method of conservation Is to
eliminate this loss caused by rats and
mice. Concrete may be used to keep
them out of the basement. Concrete
floors may be built for new corn cribs
and granaries and small mesh wire
netting can be placed in the walls. Old
cribs and granaries, chicken coops and
poultry houses should be made rat
proof.
The loss which is caused by rats and
mice will soon pay for the expense
of excluding them from buildings.
When the sources Of food are protect
ed the number of rodents will de-
crease. The Importance of protect
ing grain and food supplies from them
is emphasized still more by high
prices.

there are villages or settlements, in
habited mostly by artisans employed
within the abbeys. Only precipitOus,
winding mule paths afford means of
communication. AS many races are
represented in the population as might
be expected in that cosmopolitan Sec
tiOn of the Levant. The monks them
selves are, for the most part, Greeks,
but the monastery of Rossikon is a
stronghold of the Russians, and in
others are Serbs and Bulgars. Rou.
manians are also fairly numerous.
Own All Goods in Common.
All these dwell in harmony despite
the schisms which the great war has
made in the outside world. AS monks
they are divided into two schools,
both of which adhere to the canon of
st. Basil. One division has the lido
rhythmic form or government, which
allows considerable latitude to the in
dividual, although all goods are owned
in common. Monasteries of this order
are governed by two or three wardens,
who are elected annually by the eld-
ers. In the cenobite mOnasteries
church reguls lions are much more
rigid, and the hegumen, elected for
life, has absolute control over the
property and inmates.
Hoarded behind massive locks in
the turreted abbeys are thousands Of
beautiful Illuminated parchments Of
great antiquity. This treasure, though
impressive, is mere remnant of what
once existed. Some of the documents
have been taken to Paris, some to
Moscow, some fell into the hands of
early collectors, some were fired in
cartridges at the Greeks during the

RAT -PROOFING CORN
CRIBS AND GRANARIES
Food Conservation Suggestion
Made by University Of Mis-
Souri-RodentS Eat Much.

One Of the food conservation sug-
gestions made by the University of
Missouri college of agriculture is rat
proofing corn cribs and granaries. A
few years ago it was estimated that
every rat on the farm cost the farmer
$1.S2 year. With the present high
prices Of feed, seed and grain the cost
will amount to much more than that.

~ YER one secluded nook of the
n "a turbulent Levant still broods
q y the Tibetan calm which has
enveloped it for more than a
thousand years. 1t is the prOmOntory
of Athos, the easternmost of the three
peninsulas extending into the Hgean
sea from the coast of Macedonia like
the gnarled fingers of an aged priest
whose hand is raised in benediction.
There, only 40 miles from SalOniki,
the allied war base, dwells a monastic
community of some 1000 souls under
a republican form of government
which has outlasted the Saracens, the
Byzantines, and bids fair to survive
the Sublime Porte. Mount AthOs, the
glistening pyramid of marble in which
the 40-mile peninsula terminates, is
visible at sunset from the Plains of
Troy across the sea and shimmers
into view from the slopes of Mount
Olympus.
While airplanes were circling above
the ruins Of Helen's city and the re-
mote founder of the superdreadnaught,
Queen Elizabeth, told of shells that
spanned the peninsula of Gallipoli, the
monks behind their marble barrier in
toned the chants that were old when
Columbus embarked on his great ad-
venture and paced in brocaded and
cloth-of-gOld vestments which were
grooved by sandaled feet when the
Byzantine empire flourished.
The law of ages seems to forbid
wars trespass on these sacred pre-
clncts, and the monastic statutes deny
admittance to any female creature, be
