suggested that these marls have a value

this claim will be given trial.
Some regret has been expressed that
there is no representative OF Shepneros-
town or Shepherdstown district on the
jefferson county board of CONSUMPTION.
or the five members of the board who
have been designated to make the selec-
tion of soldiers to constitute Jefferson
couuty's quota for the draft, tour are from
Charles Town, the fifth being resident
of Harper's Ferry district. 1t is not a
position which anyone desires, and we
know of no one who would like to have
il. but il might have been better 10 have
had the representation more general.
The board has delicate task before it,
and If is fortunate for the people that it is
composed OF such good men. No one,
however, envies them their task.

The picture postal card is one of the
greatest fads of our present age. 1t is a
fad that has its advantages; at least it
can be made the means of entertainer
and information. Of course the So
called birthday postal cards with un-
natural flowers and grotesque pictures
ale not only meaningless, but at times
foolish. Such cards with all the gill
and satin are not aesthetic, nor ofinterest
But postal cards containing true picture:
OF landscapes, sceneries and buildings

OF value and interest in the future
While YOU may be visiting anywhere !

WHY Beat Around Il?

A duck egg is just as nutritious and
far more economical than a hens EGG
but its general use is unknown because
the duck failed to advertise the fact. -
Crowley Signal.
The Signal said the above but it reall,
meant to say this
There are many good and economical
bargains right at home, but the pu Bile
does not know it because the merchants
don't let anyone know about it by not
advertising. Perhaps the duck does nos
have faith in its product and will rot
deceive. so it is with the merchant that
has no faith in his own business-h,
won't deceive. That's why the one vic
adveItise5 gets the business.

PRIVATE'S BOND STORY
THRILLS GEN. DONOVAN

Acting Adjutant General Donovan
is telling a touching Liberty loan
story today.
Going into a lunchroom last night
the adJutant general took a seat at
q table with a private from Fort
Myer, who, on the S3O-a-month he
gets from Uncle Sam, takes care of
himself and d child and pays $40 q
month on a Liberty bond.
Not knowing that the man he was
talking to was in charge OF the selec-
tive draft for the District, the SOL
dier told his story to Donovan. This
was what he said:
when ! Joined the army in Febru-
ary, my wife had just died, leaving
our baby daughter, whom my mother
Is caring for. Privates received SIS
a month when enlisted, but mother
said that $5 would care for the baby's
needs, and I got along all right on
$40 a month. So. when our pay was
increased to $50 a month, / found my
self with SIS more every thirty days
than 1 actually required. decided
to boost the kids allowance to SO
and put the other $40 in a Liberty
bond, which will be hers when II is

OF the graded schools and the princi.
pals OF high, normal, and vocational
schools, with instructions to begin i'm

ance Of ordinary rules of safety.
Superintendent Thurston's order is
an outgrowth OF Washington's phe
nomenal increase in population dur
ing the past eight months, and the
resulting congestion of traffic in the
streets, particularly In the downtown
sections OF Washington.
IT was said today that the study of
this subject would begin in practically
all school classes tomorrow. and that
certain amount of time each day

Ninth Graduate
Fulfus Suicide
Pact, Ends Life

AILENE, Neb., Oct. IA suicide
pact, as one Of the secret eere-
monies of their graduation and in
which all the members OF q grad
uatInE class at the Nebraska State
School for the Blind Joined, was
revealed when the body OF Clar-
enee Gish, thirty-four. was found
hanging in his fathers home, near
here.
OF the nine members OF his
graduating class Gish was the
last. Each OF the other eight had
taken his life, some by shooting.
some by poison, others as did
Gish-with the moose. Each had
been faithful to his promise to his
class brothers. Gish had sought
to escape the penalty Of his rash
participation in the pact; he loved
life and wanted to live. But the
memory OF the passing OF his
classmates obsessed him, his mind
broke, and he kept the pact to ss-
