ALL INQUIRIES NOT ALIKE BOY SWAPS HIS DADS SHIRT

Show Employee and Gets Inside
the "Bis Top"

Monta Jessep is the robust son or
Grin Jessep, president of the Grin Jes-
sep Land company of Upton. and ne
Is true American lad, says the In
dianapolis News. He knows when ,
circus comes to town, and like all other
boys, he will find q way to see the
show. That was why he did not miss
a Wild West exhibition that played
Upton recently. The lad had been
bordering over how he was to get In
side the "big top" and he was not
greatly encouraged until a big. black
man-one Of the many sons Of Ham
with the show-approached him.
"Say, sonny, how big's your dad7"
asked the stranger.
Hes a whopper," promptly replied
the youngster, thinking perhaps the
colored man might have some. notion
of ordering him roughly from the
ground.
"If you all III give me one OF your
dads shirts I'll take you In all the
shows"
The lad scurried away and soon de-
livered one of Mr.. Jessep's best shirts
to the colored man, who was as good
as his word and took the lad through
every tented attraction on the grounds.
Later on the young American had IL
forcibly impressed on him that he could
have gone to the show several times
for what the shirt cost.

CONTROL OF SHEEP SORREL
ouickIime Can Be Used to Advantage

The usual advice for the control Of

stone, two tons per acre, hydrated lime
one and one-half tons per acre, or
qulcklime one ton per acre. The quick

KAISER BLUFFING

IF. Kaiser Wilhelm's observations
anent the situation in Flanders are
indications of the authenticity of his
observations in regard to Helgoland,
fnat sea base of the Teutons might
i,e construed as an inviting field for
foray by the British fleet. In one OF
his characteristic declamations ne
says thai
After having recently received al
announcement that renewed heavy
attack oe the enemy III an attempt 10
break I'D our sea front in FLANDERS
had been successfully repealed, 1
have today, by visit to my fleet ana
the island fortress of Helgoiand,
been enabled to convince myself OF
the strength and security OF this
front, too.
I express my warm appreciation tc
all the high-sea forces on the water,
under water and in the air, and TO
the fortress of Helgoland, for their
untiring, self-sacriticing and success
full labor, by means of which they
have kept firmly in view and attain
ed this aim. May the feet remain
conscious that the confidence Of my
self and the Fatherland reposes
nrmly on it.
The Baltimore American says it
has doubtless reached the ears Of the
Kaiser that the Allies are locking
for sortie in force of the German
aeet. and he is seeking to throw
dust into their eyes and at the same
time to terrify them from undertake
ing operations against Helgoland.
These, if undertaken, might find the

SHOWERS OF IRON CROSSES


Deputy Marquardt, of the German
Reichstag, recently proposed that a
more extensive distribution of iron
crosses be made. Emperor William
has caused to be published the. fact
that 100000 crosses of the second
class had been distributed up to June
l.
Over third of a century ago, when
the readjusters were taking their rise
in Virginia, one Of their orators,
while endeavoring to utter some
thing in .extenuation of the procedure
Of his party virtually .repudiating
the state debt, uttered words which
were often quoted by the bourbons
IN those days. They were "Honor will
not buy a breakfast"
1t may be said that iron crosses
will not buy a breakfast in Germany
at present, nor do they afford i'm
munity from the shells and bullets OF
the allies who are squeezing the
Teutons tighter every day.
