Game Warden Matter in Courts.

Quite stir up is being caused ov-
er the office of chief game warden
of South Carolina, which pays sub
stantial salary. At present the office
is held by Wade Hampton Gibbes,
a former mayor of Columbia Mr..
Gibbes was opposed for this office by
DR.. E. G. L. Adams, another Colum-
bian and candidate for lieutenant
governor in the primary of 1915, and
his opponents contend that his ap-
pointment was illegal. Consequent
ly, proceedings to test the validity
of Mr.. Gibbes's appointment were in
stituted some time ago in the su-
preme court in the name of the State
by Attorney General Peoples. Now
the supreme court has issued man
date denying it's right to decide the
question and at the same time plac-
ing it within the jurisdiction of the
circuit court. Accordingly the case
has been placed on the docket of the
Lexington county court by the at
torney general, but Mr.. Gibbess at
torneys have again raised the ques-
ton of jurisdiction, claiming that it
can only be determined by the Rich
land county court, the home of the
defendant. In the meantime, Mr..
Gibbes is still serving in the capacity
of chief game warden, and it is pos
sible may finish the period of his ap-
pointment before the matter can be
threshed out in the courts.

OF Course They Would.

Election time was drawing near
and an enthusiastic politician was
addressing his constituents in a fren-
zied speech. Not few of his as
sertions, reduced to cold thought,
were dramatically opposed to one an
other, but each proposed was re-
ceived with applause. A judge turn
ed to his companion and said: This
reminds me of the Irish leader who
was cheering his men on to battle.
'Min,' said he, 'ye are on the verge of
battle, an want to ask ye before ye
start, will yez fight or will yez run?
1--WE WILL came a chorus of eager
replies.
Which will yez do?' says he.
"'We will not says they.
"'Aha, thank ye, me min,' says he.

NO CIGARS, NO STEINAIETZ.
Man Considered Himself "Fired''
When Told He Couldn't Smoke.

Charles Proteus Steinmetz, the
world greatest authority on elec-
tricity, smokes constantly. Some
people believe he smokes in his sleep.
He prefers a long, thin, mild brand
of cigar made specially for him. How
long he has been smoking no one
knows. He himself admits that he
learned to smoke scientifically and
methodically, consuming first cou-
pie of cigar puffs, then dozen, then
a quarter of cigar, then half, next
three-quarters and finally a whole
one.
When he, as an unknown engineer,
came to the General Electric COM
pany at Schenectady to work his fu-
ture was not suspected. All that was
known of him was that he could solve
the most difficult mathematical prob
lens, \ that he had fed Germany on
account of his socialistic beliefs and
that ne had promised that he could
reorganize the calculating department
of the company.
One day an order was posted over
the shops and offices that no smoking
would be tolerated in the plant.
Steinmetz came down to work and
lit his cigar as usual.
"You can't smoke here" said an
official.
Every good" said Steinmetz and
walked out.
For three days he did not come
back. On the fourth day they sent
for him, since they had become STALL
ed on a difficult problem and were
unable to continue the work in hand.
A man in authority went up to the
Steinmetz home.
"When are you coming back to the
plant?" he asked.
Never, suppose said Steinmetz.
"Why not?"
"No smoke, no Steinmetz.
"Well, come back today, anyway;
you can smoke now
Steinmetz walked into the plant
putting ON a long cigar. In a few
minutes he had solved the puzzling
problem.

The Buffer.

Gen Goethals said in Washington
the other day:
"The new German chancellor's de-
mand for a peace victory is bluff,
pure bluff. 1t reminds me of a Pana-
ma canal digger-only the digger's
bluff was more amusing.
''This digger, who called himself
the Mississippi Whale, claimed to be
the champion long distance swimmer
of the canal zone. His claim was dis
puted by the Georgia Submarine, and
finally match was arranged be-
tween the two men.
"The Submarine turned up at the
appointed. time and place in the u.s.
al swimming trunks and goggles, but
the Whale turned up with large oil
stove strapped to his back, while in
waterproof packets around his neck
there was arranged bread and bacon,
sugar, and coffee, -four, lard and
other edibles.
1.-The Mississippi Whale with his
equipment of provisions looked in as
tonished at the empty-handed Geor-
gia Submarine.
Whars your vittles?' he de-
manded.
.Vitt1es2 What 7 want yittles fo?'
"'Say,' said the Whale, don't you
ask me for nothin' on the way ovah.
Nah fust stop is San Francisco, an
NAH second stoD's JaDan.'"

 \ STOCK MARKET

New York, June 27-Probability of easier money conditions as a re- suit of the decision of the treasury department to distribute large part of the Liberty Loan fund among local banks imparted general strength to the stock market at today's opening. War shares asserted their recent prominence, many of the more pop- ular equipments rising a point or more with United States Steel. Motors and oils also rallied from their de- pression of the previous day and. cop pers and shippings were more steady. Later railroad shars, especially coal CTS, became increasingly active at higher levels, Reading gaining a point and Pittsburgh Coal two points,
 United States Steel became the dom inant issue of the forenoon on its rise of A points to 132k. Similar indus trials also recorded advances of 1 F to 2A points. and coppers, shippings and petroleums developed greater strength. Inquiry for railroads was light, with consequent reactions in that quarter Studebaker and Saxon Motors were among the few heavy stocks with Ohio Gas, but exerted little adverse in- f1uence. Activity in Liberty bonds, mostly at a premium of 1-5o, with odd lots at 450, was the noteworthy fea- ture of the firns bond market.

Pathetic Scenes In
 Paris As Girls Gather
 Red Cross Collections
(By Marian Bonsa11 Dayis)

The gentle clink of the white tin box with the Red Cross and the quiet voice of a Frenchwoman with a Red Cross on her arm, saying. Pour les blesses, s'iI yous pIait'C For the wounded, please}-that is sight and sound that mingies with every scene of Paris
 Stand at the door of Notre Dame on Sunday morning. Wath the humble people of the city drop their coins into the box as they pass into the cathedral See the peasants drop in hard-earned sous; crippled soldiers, with pale faces, going to Notre Dame for their first outing from the hos pftal. drop in part of their scanty pay for other wounded.
 Seea what war has done in moIding, in aging, and in glorifying human faces as you watch them pass in. Then from the brilliant Paris sunlight enter the ancient cathedral. The gloom is indescribable, except for the candles and stained glass The mu- ligious. fete day)-the boys voices high and heavenly and the organ laundering through such vast spaces
 Here are soldiers on leave-some
 Russians, too. and some English;
 working women in dark ginghams and in their bare heads, carrying ba-
 bies in the same dark ginghams; young widows in black, with little one clinging to both hands; priests going back and forth; an old, old cure bent double, shuffling in frantic haste through the long aisle on some urgent call of mercy.
 Standing on the side aisle, you see half of the altar, the stalls on one side of the choir the strangely mix ed crowd of people kneeIing, and the slender, girlish Jeanne d'Arc, with
 her eager look. in white stone gleam- ing against the ancient gray There seems to be all the beauty of the Mid dle Ages in this cathedral, heavy with
 the sorrows of people whoh ave pray ed there for almost a thousand vars See the people come out again into the sunlight of modern Paris-an- guished modern Paris. The young woman is still clinking her box and saying, Pour les blesses, s'il vous plait." The poor people who will go hungry for dinner, the children, and
 the crippled soldiers drop in more coins. . The American Red Cross is asking for money for the-wounded. Not less,
 proportionately, than peasant women and crippled soldiers will we pour in our gifts

Trade Schools To
 Help Manufacturers
 Who Lose Help to U. S

The Council of National Defense through one of it's departments has telegraphed the Connecticut State Trade Schools that they lend every effort to the training of young men for the industrial needs. It urges that wide publicity be given the mat ter and that young men be encour- aged to do their bit in this regard.
 The scheme applies mostly to the summer months but will be extended d If requested. Young men especially those boys over fourteen years who are leaving school have a fine chance to answer a direct call for serwce
 It is planned to train these young men as thoroughly as the limited time will allow and place them as soon as the call comes Manufacturers have been somewhat upset thinking ot their loss in skilled help due to con- scription but it is thought that this plan in a. measure will help.
 The Trade School announces that is ready to do its share as implied 1T the telegram. It will begin imrnedi ately to enroll all applicants who ar,
 physically fit and will carry out z
 plan of training to meet especially tn, looked-for conditions.
 Our young men who are so anxious to do something will now have thei chance and being a direct appeal al | it is no doubt there will be a fine re sponse. It has not been determined as yet how these industrial recruit. will be classified but no doubt the. will get all that such 9 young mar should

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW

You reckless men and women who are
pestered with corns and who have al
least once a week invited an awful death
from loekjaw or blood poison are now
told by Cincinnati authority to use a
drug called freezone, which the moment
few drops are applied to any corn. the
soreness is relieved and soon the entire
corn. root and all, lifts out with the fin-
gers.
1t is a stick ether compound which dries
the moment it is applied and simply
shrivels the corn without infiaming or
even irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. 1t is claimed that a quarter OF an
ounce of freezone will cost very little at
any of the drug stores but is sufficient
to rid ones feet Of every hard or soft
corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting al
q corn Is a suicidal habit.-Adv.
