KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS DOINGs

Earl Matzen attended the meeting
OF the Grand Lodge Knights of Pv
thias at Colorado Springs last week
as representative from Solon Lodge
No. 40. Geo. P. Wilson of Del Norte
was elected Grand Prelate. The new
ly elected Grand Chancellor is C. w.
Ballreich of Pueblo, who is we'll
known as one of the states most
prominent attorneys. Chancellor
Ballreich has promised to greatly in
crease the membership of the order
within his jurisdiction and as he is a
very forceful man there is no doubt
but that big results will be accom-
plised under his leadership.
Mr.. Matzen says that Colorado
Springs is the worst city in the state
in which to hold summer conven-
tions, as the accommodations there
are limited and the people are too
busy trying to fleece the poor tourist.
During the tourist season Colorado
Springs sets tourist standard of
prices, with the result that all visit
ors to that city are subjected to a
hold-up.

RUSSIA NOT BANKRUPT

The Pacifists and trouble makers
pretend to be worried lest the United
States will lose the 900
loaned to Russia. Charles Edward
Russell, one of the ambassadors to
Russia says:
"As a mater of fact Russia isn't
bankrupt. 1t is one of the richest
countries of the world
1T is not only rich in possibilities
but it is rich in the actual thing. 1t
has the goods.
Il don't mean that the soil is rich,
altho that is true. l mean that the
government is rich
1T owns a vast empire of arabic
and timber lands.
There is no question about its own
ership. The title has always been
vested in the government
Comparatively speaking. there is
not a great deal of private land-own-
ing in Russia | mean compared
with other countries. An immense
amount of land is owned in common,
either by the villages or by the gen.
eral government.
while l was in Russia an ap-
praisement of the governments hold
ings in land was just being complet-
ed.
1T indicated the amazing total of
$50, 900 900, 900.
Besides all this, if the govern
ment desires to confiscate the huge
estates of the czar and the grand
dukes, all grated from the public, it
will have enough to pay the entire
national debt and lay by a surplus.
1T could take from these estates
enough to pay the national debt and
still leave the entire brood of imper-
ial parasites, idlers and worthless,
useless NUTS enough to keep them in
splendor all their days.
THE American pacifist is Russia s
deadliest enemy and the kaiser S
most powerful and efficient ally"

Serenity in Thick of BroiI.

The environment of the commander in chief, Sir Douglas Haig, is strongly suggestive of his conduct of the war. Before war became thing of precise science the headquarters of an army head seethed with all the picturesque details so common to pictures of mar tial life. Couriers mounted on foam fiecked horses dashed to and fro; the air was vibrant with action; the fate of battle showed on the face of the humblest orderly. But today things are totally different. Although army units have risen from thousands to mill lions of men, and fields of operations stretch from sea to sea, and more am munition Is expended in a single en- gagement than was employed in entire wars of other days, absolute serenity prevails. It Is only when your imagina- ton conjures up the picture of flame and fury that lies beyond the horizon line that you get thrill.-Isaac +. Marcosson in Eyerybody's.

Seagoing Moving Machine.

California now has a seagoing mow- ing machine. It is in use off the coast as part of the government expert ments to obtain potash from kelp. The curious craft has blades at the bow that cut the kelp from three to six feet below the surface of the water. A belt brings the severed kelp aboard, where other knives cut it up and other belts distribute it in the hold. The vessel harvests about two hundred tons a day, which when dried is re- duced to 20 tons; that, in turn, yields about five tons of potash. The rise In the price of potash from $40 a ton to ten or more times that sum gives a new value to kelp, which grows in yir- tually unlimited quantities along our shores, Farmers have long used the kelp itself as 2 fertilizer.-Youths Companion.

Everything in Russia Is.
 New Since the Revolution;
 Even Smile Is Different

Everything is new in Russia. As one correspondent sees 1t, and Petro- grad in particular, he declares that even the smile is different. It is with out sickness or. hypocrisy. The ladies are wearing revolution-color skirts, red feathers in their hats.
 The Nevsky prospect has become a kind of Quartier Latin. Book hawkers line the pavement and cry sensational pamphlets about Rasputin and Nich- olas, and who is Lenine, and how much land will the peasants get. Re- turned exiles fit through the crowd, recognizable by the Rue Bertolet cut of their clothes and their hair.
 Even that ancient institution, the five-oclock procession of Chinovniks going home from government offices, has lost it's typical coloring. One misses at first the staid. familiar fig ures, till one suddenly realizes that those rather long-haired young men swinging or slithering along with port folios under their arms, must, o1 course, be the new Chinovniks.
 Newsboys used to carry papers In a bag. Now there are so many papers and such demand for them that the hawkers have had to improvise stalls at the street corners, and one may pause there and watch the play of po- litical sympathies and antiquities as the hard-faced young workman buys the Maximalist Pravda, or the dreamy student buys the Radical Den, or some stout elderly gentleman buys the Novoe Vremya with melancholy air of resignation.

Gold Leaf.

There appears to be some mystery about the origin of gold leaf. It IS found, for example, in connection with the most ancient known num- mies having been usVl for covering teeth, tongue, skin, etc. Sometimes It is also found on the collins. Gold lear was also used on the tombs and monu- ments of ancient Egypt. The process of making gold leaf has thus been known since the eighth century, $. c. In the eleventh century it seems to have attained as high degree Of per lection as today. The gold leaf on some ancient Grecian pottery, indeed, is as thin as that now used.

An old farmhouse with meadows wide,
 Sweet with clover on either side; A bright-eyed youth, who looks from out i The door with woodbine wreathed with Wished this one thought all the day:
 "Oh, if I could but fly away
 From this dull spot the world to see,
 How happy l would be.
 What youth of one and twenty and maid of sweet sixteen if they happened to become enamored of one another would not tell you that there is just one person in the world for them, and each has met that one? It is all in vain for relatives or friends to attempt to dissuade them from their feeling. The young man declares he will leave home and all belonging to him and go out into the world to earn fame and fortune for the girl he has chosen. The maid declares that if she cannot wed the hero of her heart she will never, never marry. Though her lips may not complain her sad eyes will be a reproaeh to those who have sep arated her from her love for all time to come.
 How the parents are to deal with such a determined young couple Is a problem. The youths parents know that it is his nature to fall quickly in love, and as quickly climb out of 1t. The girls parents realize that the kind of man who fills her fancy at sixteen she would possibly be heartily tired of at two and twenty.
 They met at a ball. The girl in her tulle party dress, white gloves, white

Marrying Against Wishes of amily
By Laura Jean Libbey

slippers and pink roses, looked very alluring He has taken her home rom dances, perhaps half-dozen times and at the end of that time proposed mar riage. Neither had peeped beyond the first chapter of the book of life. Iheif entire conversation had been about other girls and boys-what jolly good time they had had at the skating rink or barn dance. Yet these two kidllngs considered themselves in love and had the notion that they ought to wed.
 The boys father does his best to have a serious talk with his son, en- deayoring to make him understand that married life is something more than continuous love-making; that 1t entails obligations, such as winning the support of two, to start with; that a pretty sweetheart transferred to the kitchenette is not always the amiable companion a youth fondly believes she would be.
 The girls parents do their best to make her understand that a young man should have at least start in life be- fore he essays matrimony; that all love-making, no work, would put out the kitchen fire. If, despite earnest parental advice on both sides, the young people take their own heads and marry, they have only themselves to blame for much of the tribulations that may follow. Parents on both sides should be eager for the match then it will turn out happily.

MeaIle Staple Food in Africa.

Among the Zulus, the most highly developed native race in South Af- riea, the mealie is the staple article of food. It is also the staple article of food among the less advanced Hottentots. Even the dwarfs, or Bushmen- the most backward people of Africa, and probably Of the world cultivate the mealie. Its cultivation is introducing habits of industry among a race that is vanishing. It may give the Eastman his reprieve from the doom of extinction.

OUR INDIVIDUAL DUTY.

The point has been reached where war is waged literally by whole nations. Every man, wom- aa and child is involved and nearly every adult and most boys and girls can be efficient factors. We are in this war for the purpose of defend ing our rights, of making sure that, as nation, we shall be able to live the sort of life and have the sort of institutions we desire, of making democracy persist in the world, and of safeguarding the world against the recurrence of such a war as this. To accomplish this, Lhe nation must aim at the perfec- ton of organization, and therefore each individual must recognize the necessity of making sacrifices for the common good and more than ever of working under limitations of doing team work. Our people have genius for organization, and they will not fail in the task they have assumed. Our farmers, on whom great responsibility rests, are the most efficient farmers in the world when they do their best. They will not be found wanting in this crisis ID. F. Houston, Secre- tafy of Agriculture.
