WHEAT AND OATS CROPS
VERY MATERIALLY DAMAGED

The damage caused by the recent
cold spell to the wheat and oats
crops varies from the complete ruin
alton in some instances to damage of
10 to so per cent in others. All fields
that were dragged after planting,
thus raking off the surplus soil, were
considerably damaged, while grain
which was planted deeper seems to
show more evidence of surviving the
freeze.

A Dayliuht Savinu Scheme.

Instead of setting clocks an hour for.
ward in spring and an hour backward
in fall, Professor Lecorbun suggests to
the French Academy Of Sciences a
simple method of making the change
gradually and with the seasons. This
consists of altering slightly the length
Of the pendulums Of clocks at the win
ter and summer solstices, so that be-
ginning with Dec. 21 they would gain
thirty seconds a day, and beginning
with June 81 would lose thirty seconds
a day.
The effect Of this would be that by
March 81 they would be forty-five min
utes ahead and by June 21 they would
be an hour and thirty minutes ahead.
After which the pendulums would be
changed, and the clocks would lose at
the same speed.
Under such an arrangement we
should have to set our watches for
ward or backward half minute every
night

Money In the Idea.

There Is money in maintenance"
the Electrical Merchandising Magazine
points out. Large hotels do not buy
glassware; they contract with a glass
concern which keeps them stocked at
SO much per month regardless of the
amount of breakage. Taxicab compa-
nies in the big cities do not buy tires;
they contract with tire dealer to keep
their cars equipped at set price per
car per year, regardless Of punctures
and blowouts. Now comes the story Of
an electrical contractor who is profit
ing by keeping the electric equipment
of his customers in order on q monthly
maintenance basis.
"The idea is not new. The glass man
borrowed it from somewhere; the taxi
tire man borrowed it from him, and so
it goes. Originality is almost an I'M
known thing. A clever business man
is simply one who adapts borrowed
ideas successfully-and who does 1t
first in his locality"

Voluntary Prisoners.

During the early weeks Of occupa'
ton of Port-au-Prince by the Ameri
can marines the patrols rounded up
seventy-:hree prisoners. The jails be-
ing unspeakable at that time, these
prisoners were parked out in clean,
rooted over corral, where Of course
they were regularly fed. A few days
after the collection was put into the
corral the captain Of marines asked
his sergeant to go in and make a care
full count of the prisoners, as he feared
some Of them might have escaped. The
sergeant counted over his haul three
times. SWELL" said the captain, "are
they all there" 81 can't make it out,
sir" said the sergeant, 1--WE put seven
ty-three of 'em in here on Monday and
there's a hundred and two Of 'em,
mostly soldiers, In there now."-George

To the Mothers

Mothers OF men. do you not know
What you gave to the world in your hour
of woe?
Born of courage and doomed to stress.
A man for the tasks of men-no Ie.sl
Mothers of women, can you not feel
What all the signs of your life reveal?
You have brought forth love, with its
sword and fire,
And loves high crown is the lost desire.
Mothers of men, have you not known
That the soul Of the child is not your
own?
If God has sealed him for palm and cross
To hold him close were your bitter loss.
Mothers, mothers, will yon not see
All that your gift to the world may be?
These who must fight wrong abhorred
Are Michaers angels who bear the sword.
Mothers of men. then loose your hold!
Love grants more than your arms infold.
Under the cross you stand apart,
With Mary's sword in your dauntless
heart.

BELOW THE MOUNTAINS.
Tho Higher the Elevation the Lighter
the Material Under II.


Researches Of the United States
coast and geodetic survey carried on In
recent years prove beyond doubt that
mountains are not held up by the RI
gidity or strength Of the earth's mate
rials, but by the fact that the materials
under them dn the outer portion Of the
earth are lighter than normal.
The higher the mountain or the pla.
teau the lighter is the material under
it. The principle is exactly the same
as that which makes an iceberg float
The portion of the iceberg that is
above water is held up by the large
mass of ice-which has density lower
than that Of water-in the submerged
portion Of the berg.
So, in the case of the mountain, the
portion above the general level is held
up by the lighter material under the
mountain, which extends down to
depth of about sixty miles. Although
the mountain is held up or floated by
lighter material under it, the bottom OF
the ocean is depressed because the
material under it to a depth Of about
sixty miles below sea level is heavier
than normal.
What may be considered as the nor.
NAL condition is that which obtains In
the large river valleys and under the
coastal plains.

MANY SIOUX ARE READY
TO SERVE IN The WAR
Now In South Dakota's National
Guard, Indians Await the
Call to Arms.

Among the South Dakota volunteer
troops and national guardsmen who
may be sent to Europe are several
Sioux Indians. Thus the warwhoops
Of the Sioux, among the most famous
Of Indian warriors, will, there is every
indication, be heard in due time along
the battle line In France.
In the Rapid City company Of the
national guard are more than a score
Of Sioux from the Pine Ridge and
Rosebud reservations, and the Pierre
company also has several. 1t has been
demonstrated that when led by white
men in whom they have full confidence
the average Sioux Indian will fight as
gallantly and persistently as any brave
man.
Reports from the various Sioux res
ervations of South Dakota are to the
effect that if the government wants
their services the Sioux warriors stand
ready to organize a full cavalry or M
fantry regiment and will gladly go TO
any point the government directs in
order to perform their share Of the
national duty.
Some years ago the government made
the experiment of recruiting Sioux In
dams in the regular cavalry, and Troop
L, Third cavalry, for several years
was composed almost entirely Of them.

KEEP YOUR HANDS CLEAN.
Wash Them Many Times a Day ans
Use Plenty of Soap.

OS0 EsStthJ W SSdPs
Soap or lather such as is used in shaw
ing kills minute organisms of disease
Whenever persons hands have
touched anything unelean or sore the
hands should be instantly washed with
soap and water, making a good lather.
All day long we are brought in con-
tact with what is unclean. The street
car strap, the Goorknob-anything and
everything touched by any one else
may hold the tiny organisms of dead
ly disease.
Your unclean Gnfected hands may
cause the loss of your eyesight. The
practice of rubbing the eyes with the
fingers or hands endangers the sight
Typhoid fever and other serious dis
eases are carried from person to per-
son through the medium of food which
has been touched and prepared by un.
washed hands. Washing the hands
with plenty of soap and water always
before cutting bread or cake or touch
ing other foods would save hundreds
of persons from illness and death
every year.
One may feel almost sure that ones
hands are clean all the time-they look
as If they were-but science tells US
they are not chemically clean and In
capable of doing harm unless they are
washed with soap or a disinfectant,
So to be sure Of doing no injury to
yourself or any one else wash your
hands with soap or a disinfectant be-
fore touching food or using them to
brush dust from your eyes.-Philadel

Didn't Win by His Teeth.

A Philadelphia dentist had the nerve
to publish a picture Of Washington
with this statement underneath:
"Our first president owed his wonder
full health to sound teeth"
! assume that the dentist knows more
about teeth than he knows about his
tory. Washington's teeth were his one
physical defect. They amounted al
most to a facial blemish when he
smiled, and one sour critic Of our first
president who knew him well said the
reason he so rarely laughed was his
dislike to showing the ravages of decay
in his mouth.-Philadelphia Ledger.

WHO MUST REGISTER JUNE 5.
Ysars imprisonment Is the Penalty For
Would Be Slackers.

Would Be SIaekers.
The presidents proclamation is clear
ly worded, the conscriptive law is
clearly worded, yet many inquiries as
to who must register on June have
been made. All men are required to
register:
Who are now twenty-one years old.
Whose twenty-frst birthday comes
before June 5.
Whose twenty-drst birthday comes
on June 8. -'
Excepting
Men now thirty-one years old.
Men whose thirty-first birthday
comes before June s.
Men whose thirty-first birthda /,
comes on June 6.
Men in the navy or regular army of
the United States, the marine corps,
the officers reserve corps.
Members Of the national guard and
naval militia actually in the service of
the United States on June 5.
Men in the enlisted reserve corps
actively in the service Of the United
States On June 3.
Sickness, physical disability Of any
kind or absence from home does not
excuse failure to register. National
guardsmen not mustered into the serv.
ice Of the United States before June 8
must register.
A years Imprisonment and enforced
registration are the penalty for failure
to register. A years imprisonment Is
the penalty for making false state
ments at registration, whether about
oneself or another person. Where the
person registering is subject to mill
tary law he win be court martialed.

RAISE FISH, REDFlELD SAYS,
Urges Ponds Be Utilized to Increase
Food Supply.

''Why should not farmer raise fish
as well as chickens?" asks Secretary
Of Commerce Redfleld in a statement
urging farmers in every section Of the
United States to set aside part of
the farm for pond.
"Given proper fresh water supply
and a reasonable space for a pond
and this does not necessarily mean a
very large space-fsh are easy to
raise, and an astonishing quantity may
be had in two or three years." he
says. "The fingerlings of the bass and
sunfish families that are distributed
to these ponds wifi attain half pound
weight in a year and the second year
will be spawning and Of greater size.
It Is not lengthy or expensive proc
ess to stock a pond with fish, and the
results are well worth the effort"

Euphemisms For Death.

"Decease" is now a regular form OF
word for death. But it began as a
gentle euphemism, "decessus" (depar.
ture) seeming much less harsh to the
Romans than ''mors." All languages
abound in euphemisms Of the kind
which go back to a superstitious re
luctance to mention death plainly that
gradually passed into a kindly desire
to soften the idea. passed away"
departed" ''gone," expire" Cbreathe

ture. Most striking of all is the Ro-
