The offering for the Children's
Home at Sioux Falls taken at the
Thanksgiving service last evening
already been subscribed through the
solicitations of Mrs. Townsend and
Mrs. McAdam, who served as a COM
mittee, brings the offering this year
up to over $500. The committee had
secured $18S.20, and subscriptions
are still coming in. The total receiv-
ed to date is S216.11. This is by far
the best offering this community has
made to the Children's Home.
Carl E. Porter, first lieutenant in
field artillery, unassigned, returned
to Madison yesterday from the Sec
ond reserve Officers training camp
at Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, and will be
here for about two weeks, his father,
G. J.. Porter, told us today. At the
expiration of this brief furlough he
is to go direct to France with many
others of his fellows, where he will
receive further schooling in the arts
of war in schools of French officers
who know and can teach actual con-
ditions of the fighting front. Others
of the Fort Sheridan camp were dis
tributed at various national army
camps to drill the recruits. Mr.. Por-
ter attended the first camp at Fort
Sheridan, going from Madison, Wis,
where he was attending the law
school of the university. Because of
his youth he was recommended to
attend the second camp also, and
thus has a training of six months.

tive, and the numbers needed for this
work will be large.
The government are cutting down
the numbers of men working at the
recruiting stations, Mr.. Willard said,
removing all but one where more
than one was engaged. The policy
seemed to be to put all the younger
men into active service at sea, and
place older men in the service into
the recruiting service. While his sta
ton had not been affected by any
such change, he has made application
twice for transfer into the active
service, and while he has no knowl-
edge of any change impending, he
anticipates a call to sea. He says
that in the last three months he has
enlisted 200 men into the naval serv-
ice in one branch or another.

ROAD SYSTEMS IN NEW YORK
Total Designated mileage Placed al
1893 Miles-Work Hindered by
Scarcity of Labor.

The total designated mileage Of
state and county highway systems in
New York state at the present time is
11,9SS, of which 1925 miles had been
completed and accepted on January l,
while contracts in force at that time
covered 1,185 miles. This with the
contracts awarded during the year
1916. leaves a balance of designated
mileage not yet cared for of 4,210.
Highway construction during the past
two years has been gravely hindered
because Of the fact that surplus labor
has been largely absorbed In munition
making and other abnormal Industrial
activities. In New York state during
1915 It was impossible to secure even
at largely increased cost, more than a
quarter Of the labor actually required
for highway work.

Of great value in delivering manufac-

become a real necessity in meeting the

the rational improvement Of roads is
an essential element Of the grave eco

This subject should be studied at

Of manufacturing facilities.
Crops that cannot be moved from

HOW TO LEARN TO WRITE
Road to Success In Literature ls q
Long One, and the Path Thickly
Bcset With Sorrows.

Putting words together is not writ
ing; making fine sentences is not
writing; celebrating striking plots is
not writing. OF all the arts, litera-
ture Is the most exacting mistress. To
write you must have lived, you must
have suffered and know JOY, you must
be able to analyze people, to under
stand t:,eir motives, to love them.
Granted that you have learned
something of the motives, the pas
sions, the sorrows that rack us hui
mans, then you must also have your
medium in control. Words are like
little creatures that march and fight
and sing. THEY are like extra hands
and brains. All the passions wait on
them. Until you get this sense Of the
choicencss, the fragility, the power
Of words, you are not ready to tran.
scribe your thoughts.
You must support yourself, then
study when you can. Write all the
time, get facility with words, ther
tear up your manuscript. Don't try
| to sell things. Begin to watch people
| get abreast of events. Read the pa
pers and the magazines in the library
Read Shakespeare, Fielding, Dickens
Thackeray, Bunyaa, Meredith, Barrie
and Galsworthy. You might even tr!

Lea Is 1000 Years Old.

There is preserved in the Royal Col
lege Of Surgeons, London, what is
probably the very earliest specimen ex-
tant of an artificial leg. This re-
markable limb Is considered over two
thousand years old.
Yet for beauty Of shape and careful
ness of construction 1t might vie with
many of those turned out today. 1t Is
made with pieces of thin bronze, fas-
tened by bronze rivets to a hollow
wooden core, and is modelled so as to
accurately represent the form Of u
real leg.
The outside is believed to have been
enameled flesh color, and the upper
part Of the artificial leg was con
nected with the living stump by means
of circlet of sheet bronze edged
with small rivets, probably used tC
fasten leather lining.

Height Of Trees.

When one Is out for walk, It is Il
very common thing to wish to know
the height Of particular tree which
happens to catch the eye. When the
sun is shining, 1t Is possible accurate
Ily TO measure the height of the tree
from the shadow 1t casts on the
ground. In order to do so, stick
must be set upright in the ground, so
that its shadow falls beside the shad-
ow Of the tree. Then, as the length OF
the sticks shadow TO the sticks height
so Is the length Of the trees shadow
TO the trees height, For example
suppose n 2la-foot stock shows shad
ow 3 feet long, and the trees shadow
is IL feet long. Therefore the tree is
six times us high as the stick, which
shows that the height Of the tree VII
be is feet.

WHEN JAMES TOOK A HAND,
His Story Of How Wonderful Machine
Worked First Caused Astonish-
nnent and Then Disgust.

While | was running a bolt cutter Mt
the Rock Island shops In Chicago,
writes a contributor to Railway and
Locomotive Engineering, | boarded ut
house which was frequented by To-
connective engineers and firemen. These
men talked great deal about their
tremendous tents in getting over GER
tain hills without the help of a second
locomotive.
My opposite neighbor at a table, a
young fellow who ran lathe in the
shop, grew tired of this monotonous
Dragging; he thought he was entitled
to do little talking himself. One eve
ming he called out to me-
swell, l went over and saw that
new machine today, and it's astonish-
ing the fine work 1t does"
"IIow does 1t work." inquired.
"Well," said James, "by means Of
pedal attachment, fulcrumed lever
converts vertical reciprocating mo-
ton into circular movement. The
| principal part of the machine is huge
! disk that revolves in vertical plane.
Power Is applied through the axis OF
the disk, and when the speed of the
driving arbor is moderate, the periphery
of the apparatus is travelling at II high
velocity. Work Is done on this periph-
cry. Pieces of the hardest steel are by
mere impact reduced to any shape the
skillful operator desires"
"What in the name Of sense Is that
machine, anyway" demanded Tom
Briggs.
"Oh, it's new grindstone," replied
James, and silence that could be cut
with knife fell upon the crowd.

Our First BattIeship,

The first American battlesh.p was
the old Texas, of Spanish-American
war fame. She was authorized by
congress in 1886 and was completed
six years later. The original battle
ship was little over 300 feet long and
had displacement of 6,315 tons. The
present day Texas is 554 feet long and
has tonnage of $1,000 tons. The old
Texas ended her days as target for
navy practice above five years ago.

STAGES of Relipion.

Religion, says Doctor Hall, begins

The mother must know In what a
child's religion consists, and the diff
ference between that and the religion
