If an ad is to be successful, It must
give details enough about the goods
so that the reader becomes interest
ed in them. This does not necessar-
lily mean the use of lot of flowery,
descriptive language. 1t does mean
simply that the ad writer should talk
about his goods as he would talk to
customer he was trying to sell them
to.
Mr. Logan, previously quoted as
former Seigel-Cooper man, gives this

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.

Under the Arizona statute an en-
ployer is liable for injury sustained
by his employe, regardless of negli-
gence, if the employee was not him
self at fault. The supreme court of
the state recently affirmed judgment
in favor of a mine employee who was
injured by the escape of compressed
air used in ventilating the mine, when
he opened valve under circumstan-
ces which involved no contributory
negligence. Qnspiration Consolidated

A MILE OF FRONT,
what u Means Reduced to Actual
Facts and Figures.
Parsons Weekly


PROBABLY few of us who read of a
mile of front have any real concep-
ton of the enormous labor and mater
iai that go to its making. For a mile
OF front among the swamps of Elan
uers, for example, with its first and
second lines of trenches, its commune
ieations, and breastworks, the neces-
sary barbed wire is 900 miles in length
long enough to reach from London
TO Perth and back-and weighs 10
tons. The sandbags required for its
protection number 6,250,0O0. So many
are they that, placed end to end, they
would stretch across Europe from
North Cape in Norway to Cape Mata-
pan, the southermost point in Greece;
and their weight is more than 1000
tons.
To fill these 6,250,O00 sandbags and
place them in position on parapet,
parados, or dugout, would keep 500
Industrious men at hard work for II
months, for the average man can not
fill and place more than 25 sandbags in
one night.
In addition to these thousands of
miles of wire and sandbags, 1900 g.
foot standards are required, $4,000
small pickets, $4,000 running feet of
corrugated iron, more than 1000, 900
feet of lumber and vast quantities of
riveting material of various kinds.

KHAKI.
Origin of the Name and First Adop-
ton of Material for Army.

ton or material FOR Army.
Khaki was first adopted in British
India in 1S4S by Sir Harry Burnett
Lumsden, who had been asked to
equip a corps of guides to collect in
telligence and to conduct an English
force on the northwestern frontier of
India. The cloth used was light cot
Hindustan and took it's name from a
native term, Khaki" which means in
the Urdu language, dusty" being de-
rived from "khak" or dust. Thus the
term applied to the color of the cloth
rather than to the material. Though
the dictionary tells us it is pronounced
kaykee by the natives, the English
have given it to us as kharkee and this
is the correct pronunciation.
Having been approved, the use Of
the cloth spread from the guides to
others in the Indian army, and it was
worn in the Sepoy mutiny of 1857 by
the English troops. In the Boer war,
1S99-1902, khaki was adopted in the
British service for an active service
uniform and so worn by all English
and colonial troops in Africa But as
cotton was not warm enough for the
African highlanders, uniforms of the
same kind were made of serge, and
the term khaki thus included wooden
as we'll as cotton fabrics. Because it
was well fitted for the climate of Cuba
and the Philippines, the United States
chose khaki for the soldiers uniforms
during the Spanish American war.

Officers Discard Swords.

The traditional sword will not clank
at the heels of American army officers
IL France. This is the first time in
American history the officers sword
has been abandoned in battle. The
French and British banned swords for
their officers during the first year of
the war. America now follows suit
by official order of the war depart
ment. The reason is simple and suf-
fcient. During the first year of the
war French and British officers were
easily distinguishable from their men
by their swords, uniforms and insignia
and the boche sharpshooters concen-
Irated their fire on them with deadly
effect. The idea ever since has been
20 make commanding officers look as
much like enlisted men as possible.

Troops From Coast to Coast.
The American soldier is wearing
seven league boots these days Some
idea of how quickly the continent is
being spanned by the khaki contin-
gent can be obtained from a state
ment today by local officials of the
railroads war board that 5000 soldiers
have just been moved from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, 300 miles, in just 6 y
days. The men carried all their equip
ment with them and We're provided
with sleeping cars by the Pullman
company. The trains operated in 16
sections and consisted of II tourist
cars and two baggage cars. There
were 500 men to a train.
The Pullman company has establish
ed war headquarters lat Washington
and has already supplied sleeping cars
for the movement of half a million
men.
To assure the safety of soldiers in
transit, the railroads have adopted an
average speed of 25 miles an hour for
all troop trains except when freight
cars are included, when the speed is
to 20 miles an hour.

GERMAN IN THE SCHOOLS.
Duluth News Tribune)


Two hundred schools in Minnesota
teach 10000 children only in German
This statement is made by the state
commission on public safety These
are private schools, church schools,
where the people are German, the SER
mons German, and the home and even
community language is German.
1t is no surprise to many, though 1t
will be to most, to know how many
"little Germanies" there are in our
state. Yet this is true and there are
more in other states. The circulation
of the German language papers has
largely increased since the war began
and has not decreased since this coun-
try entered the conflict.
There was a time when the only lam
guage known in many of Minnesota's
public schools was German. That time
is gone, but the private church schools
persist and there the children are rails
ed as Germans, with the German point
OF view, German sentiment, German
mentality and temperament, never
probably, to become American
The commission has asked that
these schools discontinue the practice
and use the language of our country.
II this is not done, they can be, and
certainly should be, suppressed.

The mayor of a western town hit
upon a novel scheme to rid himself of
bore who had pestered him for some
time.
The mayors doorkeeper was a
good natured, obligihg chap, and he
could never find it in his heart to turn
the man away. One day the mayor
determined to end the persecution. So
he said to his doorkeeper:
Henry, do you know why Smith
continues to come here so regularly"

you in confidence that he's after your

From that day." says the mayor, Il

CONTROL OF THE SENATE.

DEMOCRATS SEATS AND.
LOSE NONE.

Recent elections have brought to the
front once more the question of politi.
cal control of congress during the last
two years of President Wilson's ad-
ministration, says T. +. Logan In Les
lies. Swift changes of sentiment
throughout the country create posi-
bilities for the future of the house of
representatives that defy estimates
Speculation therefore centers on the
senate that will come into existence
on March 4, 1919. At the beginning of
the extra session of the sixty fifth
congress last April there were PIP
democrats, 213 republicans and in
dependents in the lower house An
alliance with the Independents gave
the democrats control The senate
classification was 54 democrats, Al
republicans and Independent. The
death of Senator Lane of Oregon and
the appointment of Charles l.. Nc
Nary, a republican, as his successor,
cut down the democratic majority to
10. 1t is the possibility of eliminating
this majority in next November's cleo
lions that came up for debate in re-
publican circles when Paul O. Husting,
democratic senator from Wisconsin,
was accidentally killed few weeks
ago.
