$2,3O4 personal property. according to

(From the Bradentown Herald)

The Herald was an ardent support
er of Congressman Drane during the
last campaign and his official acts in
congress and the loyalty and patriot
ism displayed by him since congress
has adjourned have conclusively
shown us that we supported the right
man for the right place. When
man will sacrifice home ties and home
comforts for the welfare of his coun-
try, after having been subjected to
severe strain for seven months, when
the most critical situation that has
ever confronted the nation has &C.
cupied the time of our congressman
and senator's from every section OF
the country. his loyalty to govern
ment and state cannot be questioned.
Upon arrival at his home in Lake

special session of congress, instead OF
ENJOYING a six weeks vacation and
rest, Congressman Drane. having the
welfare of his people and the nation
at heart, began tour of his district

A man was arguing. He wasn't

But he said:

ought to be assessed there-all OF

A Partner of Rockefellers

This history showed that Flagler's
father was a struggling Presbyterian
minister at Hammondsport, N. Y,
whose pittance of $500 a year was so
inadequate that Flagler at the age of
fourteen left home to make his way in
the world. He obtained work in a
country store at Republic, o.
From that place he moved to Belle.
vue, O., where he went into the graiu
business with money he had saved at
Republic. He invested in a distillery.
John D. Rockefeller was then a com
mission merchant in Cleveland He
acted as Flagler's Cleveland agent in
the sale of wheat.
Flagler's next move was unfortu
nate. He went to Saginaw, Mich
There he lost all his money after
three years of adversely in a salt en-
terprise. He returned to Cleveland
penniless and in debt. He went int
the grain and produce business and
finally became interested in an oil re
tinery with John D. Rockefeller. Will

Romance puts jam on your bread and

Without Imagination, without a cer-
tain refinement and dellcaey of feeling,
one can hardly be romantic.
After all, when Christopher Columbus
tried to persuade Spain that the world
was not fiat and that new passage to
India was possible by a circliHg of the
globe" he was rather practical ro-
manifest than merely a scientist and
explorer. He had dreamed a dream and
he brought all his mental science and
logical faculties to bear on making that
dream come true.
Every explorer. every inventor, every
founder of great school of philosophy
is romantic. Perhaps inspiration comes
to him, perhaps he longs to help hu-
manity, perhaps he longs to help hu-
by the beauty of the world about him;
but. whatever inspires him. it leads to a
practical demonstration of great value

were the last thoughts to which he
gave expression: "Why fear death? 1t

And as far back in history as the
days of the Scottish chiefs, there are
these words quoted:

often when children tell fanciful

Hope is romancel Ambition is ro-

of life are romantic. Romance leads

mind of a lazy, shiftless creature who
is almost incapable of action. And it

The man who leads a forlorn hope

ROMANCE AMONG
NEEDS OF LIFE
Existence Grows Weary and
Monotonous Without Some
Excitement
by Beatrice Fairfax

Just as surely as the human body
cannot exist without food, so surely
the spirit must die il it never feeds
upon romance.
Romance does not mean love or love-
making. 1t means instead certain
feeling of uplift, a certain drinking in
of beauty kind of idealization which
gives kinship with all beauty.
Romance is nothing more than a per-
feet mood, a delicate atmosphere. 1t
is fabric as gossamer-like as that of
which dreams are made. And yet 1t
is so true that when 1t exists we are

Isle of Man Camp
Big Experiment In
Communal Feeding

Douglas, Isle of Man, Jan 11-As
an experiment in communal feeding,
the British Governments camp for
war prisoners at Knockaloe is the
biggest and most successful thing Of
it's kind ever attempted in the British
Isles. Here $4,000 prisoners are
housed and fed at a figure which av-
erages only So per man, per week
The capital cost of the camp, which
was built on farm land in the north
of the Isle of Man, was $1,25O,0OO.
This figure covers the building of all
the barracks and administrative Of
fees, kitchens, streets, sewage, water
and electricity plants, telephones, and
all the other essentials of modern
city. On basis of a population Of
$4,000 the cost of building this pris-
on camp city figures out at about $50
for each inhabitant.
The question Of food as related to
health has been a prime consideration
with the British officials from the
start. Our dietary explained the
commandant, "has been constantly
observed and studied scientifically by
a staff of medical men,, who from
time to time make such changes as
experience dictates. The cooking is

the excellent results they achieve are

testimony to the adequacy of the food
provided. In this improvised town of
$4,000 inhabitants, there have been
only 70 deaths in two years-a yearly
death rate Of less than 15 per thous-
and. This compares with a death
