Elva Crane never could see any harm
in miscellaneous fllrtations. She smiled
at goOd-looking men in subways, thea
ter lobbies, anywhere when the mood
took her. When, as 1t sometimes hap
pened, men presumed to speak to her
she gave them a freezing stare, or u
sharp answer, as though they had been
greatly mistaken.
In vain her aunt, with whom she
lived. and friends who really cared for
her, demonstrated. scolded or implored
her to deSlst before 1t led to serious
consequences, she laughed 1t off as a
good joke. and declared she could take
care of herself.
Elva was so attractive and loveable
her small peccadillos were generally
forgiven; but to her greatest friend
and particular chum, Janet Park, who
was often with her during these es-
capades, Elva's conduct was becoming
unbearable. Janet was neither prim
nor purltInic. She was good talker,
bubbling over with humor, and while
not so pretty as Elva, she had II per-
sonallty that grew on acquaintance.
One day when sitting with Elva In
the subway, she became aware OF the
prolonged stare of young man few
seats away. Looking at Elva she soon
saw the cause Next she saw the
stranger smile at her companion.
"Elva how can you make yourself
so cheapT she exclaimed.
In.
"Why it's only little fun! -
'But suppose you should ever be In
troduced in society to one Of these men,
how would you feelT"
"why I'd feel as though we had al
ready started an acquaintance" she
laughed.
"Well, I wouldn't. I'd be too
ashamed to look him in the face"

ONE WAY TO COLLECT BILL
Surgeon Makes Wealthy Man Pay for
the Burial Of Brother Who
Died In Arizona.

An embalming incident occurred In
Arizona in 1893 when the Chicago ex-
position was in full blast. Billy, be
loved but impecunious citizen, passed
in his checks. Doctor Blford, an old
army surgeon, attended him In his last
illness, and afterwards embalmed
the body, placed 1t in a metallic cas-
ket, and made ready to ship 1t to John,
a wealthy brother of the deceased,
who lived In Chicago. But the rail-
road company refused to receive the
casket unless the freight was prepaid.
The doctor telegraphed to the Chicago
brother who replied, refusing to remit.
Thereupon the resourceful physician
had the front of the casket painted
and inscribed: "In this casket reposes
Billy. His brother John, who lives In
Chicago, WEIGHED on the embalming
bill and cost of transportation. Where
upon this casket with its contents has
been sent to the Chicago exposition TO
be placed on exhibition in the depart
ment of curlos. In order to pay the
cost of embalming and transportation,
this cabinet and remains will be raffied
for. Five hundred tickets at % cents
ticket Buy a chance. The winner
can start a dime museum with Billy
Doctor Biford had a photograph taken
of the casket and sent 1t to Brother
John, and Brother John paid up and
ordered his brother to be decenty
buried at Tucson.

Rains Continue

Now that the drouth has finally been
broken it seems that it can't quit and
just keeps it up almost every day.
Lamar has had several hard rains
the past week and Monday night it
was accompanied by a big electrical
display and high wind. No damage
was done however. Waterspouts and
floods have been reported from a num-
ber of places in this vicinity, but so
far the summer has been almost free
from hail, usually our most dreaded
accompaniment of rain.

d. c. Ding on the Great HighW ay

The as-CanGdian-Denver high
way is in fine shape, at least that
portion of it which lies between Can
adian and Lamar, Colorado. A tour
of sociability over the northern dis
trict was completed in the mud and
mire between Guymon, Oklahoma, and
Canadian last Sunday afternoon.
The trip began here at the Record
office where log books of the route
were taken aboard on Thursday morn
ing the 9th Of August at 5:l5 a. m.
At Ochiltree we breakfasted and
spent an hour and thirty minutes bor-
rowing rain coats and heavier cloth
ing and having a good time with the
Ochiltree boys. Penetrating a dense
fog we drove north into the state of
Oklahoma, turning west as further di-
rected by the signs. We dined at
Guymon at the hotel Won Willough-
by, to which all good tourists are di-
rected with assurance of most excel
lent treatment and services. After
dinner we mingled hurriedly with the
live ones in that living Oklahoma burg
and then passed on up the ID. C. d. to
Elkhart, Kansas, which is exactly l55
miles from Canadian.
After passing briefly among the
d. c. d. boosters out there in Kan
sas we replenished the gas tanks and
secured some Of the high powered air
for the inner tubes. At this point,
also, little jealousies and troubles be-
gan to arise among the party. Here
your humble servant was accused of
the tLeft of box of cigars and was
unable to present absolute evidence OF
innocence until we reached Stoning-
ton, where guilt was placed upon the
secretary At Stonington
we were 1S5 miles from home but still
feeling fresh and fine and glad to
circulate among the citizens of that
flourishing little city. This is a di-
vision point on the highway anl we
took the north route to go via Ar
tesla and Two Buttes. A rather un-
fortunate discussion took place among
the party at Artesia just before we
decided to show Mr.. L. A. McAdams
how artesian water was raised from
the we'll At Two Buttes we spent
the night delightfully."- with those
splendid people. The morning of the
second day we went out to the Two
Buttes dam and firted modestly with
the fishes of the lake. While in Can
adian last winter Mr.. Stinsen remark
ed that there was but one little cat
fish in the dam and Hoover caught
that. Leaving the dam at noon W
drove on to Lamar to spend the night
in the valley of content. We were met
there with the spirits that have made
Colorado famous By the generous
kindness of our newspaper friend, Mr.
Crary, our party was taken north OF
the city to view the irrigation district
of the Arkansas valley. The view
was a revelation to our people and

Bryan At His Best

A pleasure to be had in reading
William j. Bryan at his best is like
the pleasure multitudcs of people have
had in hearing him at his best, which
has been at times whan, on a chautau-
qua circuit, he has used his oratorical
gifts talking on questions unrelating
to politics. He has made many errors
since the war began, but he sees clear
ly the duty of every American citi-
zen, now that thiz country has entered
the struggle, and he hits boldly ct all
foes of the flag, no matter with what
pretenses they cloak their endcavors
to make the war a failure. Two sign
ed articles in the current Commoner
deserve wide reproduction. In one on
Resisting the Draft" the greatest
pacifist of them all when his country
was not in war, writes: "The number
of those resisting the draft is very
small; there should be none War
is a last resort-it is n reflection upon
civilization that it still reddCns the

war the citizen cannot escape a citi-
zen's duty. If his conscience forbids
him to do what his governmen. de-
mands, he must submit without COM
plant to any punishment inflicted
whether it be Imprisonment or death.
This is the best government on earth,
the one most responsive to the will of
the people, -lt it Is a government OF
the people. If few are permitted to
resist a law-any iaw-government
becomes a farce. Resistance to law is
anarchy"
In an article headed, Abusing Free
Speech" he writes: Before our ma
ton enters a war it is proper to dis
cuss the wisdom of going to war, but
the discussion is closed when Con
gres5 acts. After that, no one should
be permitted to cloak attacks upon
government, or aid to the enemy un-
der the claim that he is exercising
reedom of speech. No sympathy can
wasted on those arrested for un-
ltriotic utterances. They abuCe. free
jeech. And this applies to attacks on
he allies as well as attacks on the
United States. We can no more allow
our allies to be crushed than VIC can
afford to be crushed ourselves. The
defeat of our allies would throw the
whole burden of the war upon us. We
must stand together and fight it
through. There are only two sides to
a war. Every American must be on
the side Of the United States"
These words, in clear, incisive rea-
soning and perception Of truth after
the lifting of fogs shows an enemy in
view, recall the great speech of Ste
phen A. Douglas in June, 1861, clos
ing with the words: at is the duty
of every American citizen to rally
around the flag of his country

Apple Syrup

A cheap and palatable syrup foI
the table or cooking use may be made
in the home with comparatively little
trouble, from apple cider.
Directions for making this are Civ
en- in the Year Book Of the depart
ment of agriculture for 1914, page
23O, the essentials of which follow:
Select fresh cider of good quality
and to every gallons of cider add 5
ounces of powdered calcium carbon
ate which can be obtained from any
druggist at slight cost. After adding
the carbonate stir the mixture well
and heat to boiling in porcelain lined
kettles not more than two-thirds full.
Boil for about minutes, then pour
into two-quart jars, glass pitchers OF
other glass containers. Set these in
pans of hot water to allow slow cool
ing. As soon as sediment has settled
out-this will take "a hours or more
turn off clear liquid and again heat
to boiling in porcelain lined kettles,
this time but one-third full. Boil rap
idly until liquid has reached about
one-seventh of its original volume,
and is of the consistency of thin syrup
then cool slowly as before. In a day
or so, syrup should be perfectly clear
and can then be bottled for future use.

FAMINE IN EVERYTHING.

How shall we liver asks the Girls
field News.
We are faced with famine in fuel,
famine in sugar, and we expect to be
faced with famine in -four and several
other necessities in short time. The
dribbling of coal all up and down the
Shore is so small that only very
small percentage of the actual re-
quirements OF the population are sup
piled Wood is expensive and unsat-
isfactory. and unless a radical change
comes soon, we forsee much suffering
and priyation this winter. Sugar is
now practically unobtainable. Both in
Crisfield and Salisbury sugar is prac-
tically out Of reach, many dealers not
having a pound in stock Our people
are beginning TO wonder what next
will be on the famine list, and house
keepers are becoming distinctly un-
easy regarding the future food supply.
The Food Administration should take
steps never mind how radical-to in
sure the people of the United States
that they shall be fed, clothed and kept
warm during the winter We are pre-
pared to bear our burden of taxes, that
was expected; but to suffer from cold
and anticipate suffering from semi
starvation is far from wholesome
nrosnect.

SOUTH AMERICAS TASTE IN
DRIED FRUITS.

The failure TO sell important guam
titles OF American dried fruits in
South America is due in part to the
natives preference for dried fruits
thai may be readily eaten out of hand
without further preparation, accord
ing 70 a bulletin entitled South
American Markets for Dried Fruits"
issued by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, Of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The predominance Of European
dried fruits (prunes, raisins, and figs)
Is especially marked in Brazil. and
only slightly less so in Argentina and
Uruguay, says the report. Home
produced fruits practically displaced
all others in Chile, with the United
States ranking second only TO the
United Kingdom in the small trade in
Imported fruits Peru is the only
country considered in this report in
which California fruits outrank those
from all other sources Chilean
fruits practically monopolize the mar
kets in Bolivia. During the last year
or so there has been decided tend
ency in South America 10 buy in the
United States certain lines of fruits
that formerly were purchased almost
exclusively from Europe. and ii is
though that proper attention to the
requirements of the market will make
permanent at least a part of this
trade
The report points out the short
comings in American methods of COM
peting with European countries in the
South American markets and offers
constructive suggestions for making
more OF our opportunities in the flu
ture Copies can be obtained at the
