THE OTHER SIDE.

Today the news that Germany is
claiming victory in the recent
western movements will surprise
American readers. 1t has seemed
that the victory of the allies was so
overwhelming that Germany must
soon crumble. But Germany has
no thought of crumbling. Possibly
she may be winning and not losing.
We do not know; no one this side
Of the German line may know the
truth; at least, not until the actual
crumbling begins. But the crumbl-
ing of Germany is long way off
possibly two years, perhaps six.
Germany has a illion men in the
field more than she had at this time
last year. But with America in it
and South America coming in, at
least 20 million men are now array
ed against Germany more than
faced her last year. Within a year
or two France and England and
possibly Russia will need the help
of American arms. Our boys will

They Don't Like Hearses.

Arundel was not put in a hearse, for

BASEBALL DOOMED IN 1918
President Ban Johnson of the Nat
ional league announces that in case
the war lasted until next spring
there would be no attempt made tt
open the 1918 pennant season.
MIR. Johnson stated his belief that s
majority of the American league
players were eligible under the pro
posed terms of the CONSUMPTION Law
and would be called upon to Serve
in the army. Mr.. Johnson will
leave for Washington tonight t.
confer with government authorities
regarding the proposed tax to be
imposed upon baseball clubs and the
question of enlistment of the players
will also be discussed.
President John X. Tener of tho
National league said that he had no
discussed the proposition to droI
baseball at the close of the present
season and that such action woulc
depend upon the developments O.
the next few months.
"Unless there should be unexpect.

Have you noticed Hostetter's bit
tiers is extensively advertised, the
first time in years? and do you
note that the great call is for use as
beverage? A few years ago there
was big crusade against all patent
medicines containing large per-
centage of alchohol. If our prohibi-
ton law does not put the ban on
such stuff it is time to make it in
clude it. Hostetter's has been re-
garded as nothing but stimulant
for the past fifty years. The public
does not need patent medicines of
that character. A medicine drunk
appears to be equal to a pure alco-
hol spree--much more vicious than
milder hilarity.

One day silver dollar sought
A lodging in the town,
The cherry ring of silver brought
Intent to settle down.
The fellow it was first to sight
Was one, I'm sad to say,
Who did not hasten to invite
The coin in town to stay.
This most unpatriotic man,
Instead of being glad
To aid the dollar in the plan
To help the town it had,
The dollar sent afar to roam
In other regions then
And never to his town or home
The dollar came again.
Another dollar also came,
But met a man more kind
A fellow with a different name
More patriotic mind.
He asked it in, he bade it stay,
And help the town to grow;
And nevr more it roamed away
Or cared afar to 60.
5 S S
From house to house that dollar
went
And labored for the good
Of ev'ry man to whom twas sent
And all the neighborhood.
1t helped the farmers field to till,
To swing the woodsman's ak,
To build the church upon the hill
And pay the village tax.
5 5 5
Next time dollar comes to town
Its greet it with cheer;
Don't send it off or turn it down,
But let it settle here
For ev'ry dollar comes to roost
In home or farm or store
Is one more dollar come to boost
The town little more!

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

In an interview with Darwin p.
Kingsley, writer in the American
Magazine, reports:
"'Suppose you explain, Mr.. Kings.
ley, some of the differences between
the $1,OO0-a-year and the $5,OOO-a-year
man.
"'Punch, faithfulness, capacity for
work and inclination for it, returned
the life insurance president, make up
the yardstick which measures most
differences in salary. It's not ut all
difficult to spot the youth who has the
markings of winner.
"'The $5,OOO-a-year man, to begin
with, is always on the job. He is too
busy to watch the clock. He is likely
to be quicker ut his work than the
man ut the next desk, and he is al
ways looking for more things to do.
In a rOomful of clerks, the man who Is
always asking for heavier tasks
doesn't have to ask for promotions.'

OFFICERS VALUE TO ARMY
Ability to Lead Men With q Minimum
OF Loss 10 What Counts In Mod.
ern Business Of War.

Three months Of the hardest applica-
ton that any Of these young men has
ever known, then, is the price they
pay to become officers, says Frederick
Palmer, writing in Golfers Weekly Of
the officers training camps. Those
who cannot stand up to it will not get
their commissions, and some of them
will be sore, no doubt. Their parents
and friends will register complaints.
That is only human. But the system
must be stronger than any individual.
The system realizes the enormous
responsibility of making an officer who
will be worthy to lead men in action
with skill in the grim, mercilessly
scientific business of modern war
which means a minimum of loss to his
own men and maximum to the ene-
my in any undertaking. The ledger Of
that business reckons its profit and loss
in casualties. A poor employee in busi-
ness loses the firms money. A poor
officer loses lives unnecessarily for his
country. Every one of those rookie of
ficers and every recruit Of the selective
draft, when he grows weary of the
grind, may inspirit himself with this
thought:
Proficiency in all these things that
are being taught to me means that
some soldier will owe his life to my
capable direction. 1t means that my
company will get the trench it storms
with small loss, instead of being
thrown out under the spray of machine
guns at great loss"

How to Secure and Fit Up a Red Cross Workroom

After an auxiliary of the Red Cross
has been formed and has determined
upon the specific work which it will
do, place of meeting must be secured.
A light room will be needed where
work tables will accommodate the
women who volunteer to do the work
in hand. In many cities and towns
business men donate vacant rooms in
commercial buildings for this purpose.
In all the large department stores in
the country, floor space has been al
lotted to this work and placarls, post
ed throughout the stores, invite shop
pers to give an hour or 50 of their
time to Red Cross work.
The workrooms of millinery shops
are turned over to Red Cross workers
in the evening. in some Of the smaller
cities and towns. 1t is best to secure
vacant room in store building or
space in store, to be used solely for
Red Cross work. Club women and
members of various women's organi-
cations. church societies, etc.. can be
allotted definite time during each
week, to meet In body and work to-
gether, in these rooms.
When a room has been secured 1t
must be fitted with work tables and
chairs. Plain wooden chairs and long
tables are best and the tables are to
be covered with oilcloth, If possible, SO
that they can be easily kept clean.
Nails along the walls. or elsewhere,
will be needed in which big overall
aprons are to be hung. Above each
nail small ticket pasted to the wall
cairfes the name of the owner of the
apron, or string ticket may be used
on the apron. A few extra aprons
should be provided for volunteer work.

To Grow euckwheat In England.

OF all the different grains recom-
mended to save wheat just now, buck
wheat and rye seem the only two that
can be grown and ripened in this colln-
try, says the London Chronicle. Buck
wheat owes it's name to the resrnl-
blance of its seed to beechnut, hence
its German name, Buchweizen, corrupt
ed to buckwheat. Hitherto buckwh"at
has been mostly grown here to feed
pheasants, but it is most nutritious
and quite pleasant food for man. 1t
yields very abundantly, grows on poor
soil, and needs little manure. The Only
trouble is 1t does not harvest wei! in
any but dry weather, and that is prob
ably why hitherto 1t has not been more
grown here.
