Last Saturday night our light fuse
blew out with the result that we
were without lights until Monday.
When all our lights are turned on
we are carrying very heavy load
of electricity. We have 1900 candle
power in our clothing room alone.
In one day this week, we checked
out $12,000.OO to pay certain in
voices of New Spring goods that had
arrived.
We surely received fine stock of
room size rugs this week. We have
not these all checked out in stock as
yet but are getting them in shape
as fast as possible. We have so
many new goods that it is impossible
to get everything out at once.
We had to get in hurry-up ord
er of 2 barrels of glasses for the Hog
Growers Banquet, as we had let our
stock in this particular run down
until we did not have enough of this
particular item.

We have a nice showing of the
new Spring coats and suits for Wo-

member we will have the Palmer
garments again this Spring. These
people are creators of the best styles
shown in America. The tailoring
and workmanship is unsurpassed.
The Queensware department re-
ceived a shipment of glass ware that

Spanish Doubloona.

Should one find a pirates buried
treasure he would have TO dispose or
bis Spanish gold at its bullion value,
for since Aug. 1, 1908, when the COM
mon crier made proclamation from the
steps of the Royal Exchange of Lon
don that after that date the doubloon
would cease to be legal tender In the
West Indies, including British Guiana,
the doubloon has not been the precious
thing 1t was. In 1870 and for cen
fury after 1t was worth So, more or
less. It has ceased to be coined in its
native country, Spain, and since 1908
It has been unpopular in the West In
dies, where for a long time it figured
in a mixed circulation, embracing Brit
ish, United States and Spanish coins.
In the interest of romance, however,
the name at least must survive 1t
signifies nothing more than that the
coin was double the value of pistole,
but the "doubloon" was never such a
mouth filling mockery as "pieces of
eight" which suggests great riches,
but means only Spanish silver dollars,
pieces equivalent to eight reals.-Roch-
ester Post Express.

PIONEERS $1,000 MEMORIAL.
Eastern Relatives Will Erect IL on
Grave of John II. StoWel.

Redding, Cal. - After hunt Of a
week a grave has been found upon
which to erect the $1,000 monument
built in Redding on the order of east
ern relatives of the late John II. Sto-
we'll.
No trace of the pioneer miners grave
could be found until after the pioneers
of the old town of Shasta held con-
sultation. Joseph Hooking CHANGED to
drop in at that meeting. He cleared
up the situation by explaining that he
was a pallbearer at Stowelrs funeral,
and he was positive he could point out
the grave in the Shasta cemetery. He
did so, and there was found an old
wooden slab with the name and date OF
death still legible.
Stowell was buried Feb II, 1901. The
monument is provided by eastern heirs,
who realized quarter of million dol
lars from the sale of the Stowell mine,
though the dscoverer of the mine died
in comparative poverty, and his grave
was almost forgotten.

William De Morqan.

In spite of himself William De Nor
gan became famous. He deliberately
violated all the rules made for the
guidance of novelists who seek to be-
come popular. None of his novels was
addressed to the greater public that Is
avid for the latest thing of the moment
in fiction, but nevertheless they reach
ed that public. He was law unto
himself in the novels that he wrote
during his marvellous career that span
ned only ten years. 1t is doubtful II
In English literature or In any other
can be found writer whose life and
literary career are comparable to his.
He was an old man when the world of
readers came to know him. and his age
was an asset toward celebrity. AT
seventy he was hailed as eagerly as
Kipling was hailed at twenty, and In
his way he was no less prodigy than
the younger writer.-Bookman.

BRITAIN NEEDS 5000
AMERICAN FARMERS
Sir Arthur Lee Says This Will
Combat Germany's Plan
of Starvation.

London. Five thousand skilled
American farmers on English soil
would go long way toward combat
ing Germany's plan to starve us into
submission through her submarines"
Sir Arthur Lee, head Of the newly
formed food production department, told
an American newspaper correspond
ent. II told you recently" Sir Arthur
continued, "that we intended to bring
from America some 1900 tractor plows
for right blowing. We need the skill
ed American farmers to supplement
them"
Sir Arthur knows America. He mar
ried an American, Miss Ruth Moore,
daughter of J. G. Moore of New York,
and he has spent many years In the
United States, having been British mil
itary attache with the United States
army during the Spanish-American
war and later military attache at the
British embassy in Washington. He
has seen service In the present war.
His present post is an outgrowth OF
the intensified submarine warfare be-
gun on Feb. 1. Sir Arthur is charged
with the gigantic task of making every
available foot of soil produce its maxi
mum amount of food.
II have great respect for the ability
Of the American farmer" said Sir Ar
thur II have seen him at work, and I
know that everything he does spells
efficiency. That's why we would like
to have so many Of him in the present
crisis.
"Your farmer has revolutionized
farming methods. Like the American
in all other walks Of life. he is contin-
ually on the lookout for a more eff
cient way In which to do things. The
result is that he has the most modern
agricultural implements in the world.
With these and his natural bent for in
dustry he gets the most out Of bis
soil"

EATING UP COYOTES.
klondlke Malemute Proved Hls Value
When Out of Dog Pound.

Portland, Ore.-The big malemute
from the Klondike, who looked hopeful
ly out of one eye through the picket
fence at the dog pound three weeks
ago, is out at White Salmon now, eat
ing up coyotes and between times chas-
ing rabbits for exercise.
He was a regular new thought dog
He knew positively that he was an ami
NAL of merit; that he had never met
his better in fair fight, that death In
the electric box might come to the dogs
that had lost hope and that howled
through the night hours and whined
piteously by day, but to him never.
Two months there never weakened his
faith In himself, but 1t made him lit
tie more willing to accept the love OF
new master, when one should come.
He did come, and that sort of started
things out at Canyon road, and for
days and days other masters came and
dogs went out from the institution at
the rate of six day, and there wouldn't
be an animal there now If 1t hadn't
been that others were brought in-bull-
dogs, Airedales, terriers and some are
Just plain dogs, who want to have
some one they can love.

Tho Emerald.

The emerald has been known since
early times both in Europe and in GER
tain parts of the orient, where its at
tractive color and rarity have endowed
1t with the highest rank and varied
lore. It's name may be traced back to
an old Persian word which appeared
In Greek as 'smaragdos," mentioned
by Theophrastus over 300 years before
the Christian era, and again in Latin
as "smaragdus," seen in the writings
Of Pliny, who particularized somewhat
on Its properties and supposed me-
dicinal virtues and was even shrewd
enough to suspect its identity with the
much more common beryl, although
eighteen centuries elapsed before this
suspicion was verified by scientific
proof.

Grass on the Lawn.

Grass seeds terminate in from four
teen to eighteen days. A quart of SEEDS
Is sufficient to cover 300 square feet
Is by 20 feet. Five to six bushels are
required per acre.
Do not SOW grass seeds in hot, dry
weather, particularly in July or Au-
gust.
Poa trivalis is good for shady lawns
under trees.
Festuca rubra is most suitable for
hard wear and for dry or sandy soils.
Sharp sea sand applied lightly over
lawns in the autumn-that is, over
lawns on clay or loam-encourages the
growth of fine grasses.
Lawns that are frequently watered
need more fertilizers than those that
are not, as the water washes away
much plant food.-New York Sun.

HOUSTON APPEALS TO
NATION FOR BIG CROPS
Intensive Cultivation Greatest Aid
Farmers Can Render Country.

Washington. - Secretary Houston
again appealed to the country to make
every effort to raise adequate food
crops this year not only for the United
States needs, but to meet the require
ments Of the entente.
'The importance to the nation Of
generous food supply for the coming
year cannot be overemphasized In view
Of the economic problems which may
arise as a result of the entrance Of the
United States into the war;" said the
secretary. Every effort should be
made to produce more crops than are
needed for our own requirements.
MANY millions Of people across the
seas as well as our own people must
rely in large part upon the products Of
our fields and ranges. This situation
will continue to exist even though hos
tilities should end Unexpectedly soon
since European production cannot be re-
stored Immediately to its normal basis.
ut Is obvious that the greatest and
most important service that Is required
Of our agriculture under existing con-
ditions is an enlarged production Of the
staple food crops. Because of the short
age of such crops practically through
out the world there is no risk in the
near future Of excessive production,
such as sometimes has resulted in unre-
munerative prices to producers. This
is particularly true Of the cereals and
of peas, beans, cowpeas, soy beans and
buckwheat."

Glanuarry's Treason"

How startling was the difference In
the customs of the English and the
Scots even less than century ago Is
shown in the story of the way In which
the famous highland chief, Alastir
Macdonell of Glengarry frightened
George ". out of his wits. In 1922
Glengarry was one of party of Scot
fish mobiles and gentlemen who ban
quoted 1.-THE first gentleman of Europe
In Hollywood palace. Colonel Macdonell
was the last chief to wear the full
highland costume, and when the COM
pany sat down to dinner he, according
to custom, placed a brace Of loaded
pistols by his plate. The king started
up in alarm and was persuaded to re-
main in the room only on the assurance
that Glengarry meant no treason.-Lon-
don Spectator.

Found on Big Steamship.

Hoboken, N. J.-Twenty-flve German
soldiers In full uniform were found
on the big liner Vaterland In Ho-

Some of them were infantrymen, 9TH

But-they were made of tin.
The box of them, which had appar-
emily been left behind by youthful
passenger on the liners last trip here
and put aside by a steward to delight
some future small passenger, was taken
to the pier with other articles. and Col
lector Malone was notified.
The collector decided to present them

MEN WITH TRADES JOIN ARMY.
Great Rush to Enlist Under Modified
Terms of Service.


New York.-Men with trades are be-
Ing eagerly sought as army recruits,
and now, for the first time, food or
applications is beginning to pour In to
the recruiting stations In New York
The prospect of future war Is entire
ly responsible for this, although the
action of the war department recently
ordering the enlistment Of men be-
tween eighteen and thirty-f1ve for
period of one year only on active serv-
Ice and six years with the reserve has
made the service more attractive.
Since the issuance of this order the
recruiting station at GA Eighth avenue
has had an unprecedented number of
applications. The trades most in de-
mand are clerks, stenographers, auto
mobile drivers, automobile machinists,
blacksmiths, cooks, bakers, teamsters,
wheelwrights, carpenters, firemen, far
riers, engineers and saddlers.

FORTUNE IN A KETTLE.
Farmer Discovers Gold In Iron Pot Two
Feet Under Ground.

Farmer Discovers Gold In Iron Pot Two
Feet Under Ground.
Milwaukee-Seven thousand dollars
in gold was the treasure John Rugow-
ski, truck farmer, found hidden two
feet underground while working In his
garden near Manitowoc, Wis.
Rugowski struck an old iron kettle
with a shovel and, digging 1t up, care
lessly cast it aside, when he spied the
glittering money.
Now the question arises to whom
does the money belong, because Rugow-
ski is only tenant on the farm. The
property is owned by the estate of the
late John Meyer, which is still being
settled. Heirs of the estate claim the
treasure, but Rugowski intimates that
possession is nine points of the law,
and whoever gets the money from him
will have trouble.
For years the farm was owned by a
man named Huck, an eccentric charac-
ter, who had no faith in banks. 1t is
he who is thought to have hidden the
wealth. The property has changed
hands a number of times.
