Great Lakes, In-A feet Of training
ships shortly will be sailing the great
lakes, 1t was announced at the United
States naval training station here.
Captain W. A. Moffett, commandant,
has planned the mobilization Of num-
Der of vessels mounting guns ranging
from one Founders to six inch pieces.
The feet will serve to train recruits
passing through the trfining station
here, which has been greatly expanded
since the outbreak Of war, In addition
to protecting lake cities.
The steamer Eastland, which turned
over In the Chicago river in 1915 with
a loss Of S12 lives and which Is now
being rebuilt as a gunboat, will be the
flagship. Other vessels in the fleet
will be two Of the former Spanish gun
boats which were captured by Dewey
at Manila bay.

Love and Marriage.

First love Is very apt not to be the
lasting love-" said DR.. Antoinette Koni-
kow, speaking at the Boston School Of
Social Science.
Young lovers try to excuse all the
faults Of the loved one because they
are not In love with the Individual, but
with love. Hence they may not choose
the partner with whom they will find
their happiness in later years. Many a
man and woman Is glad by middle age
that the first love was frustrated.
Marriage should be based on love
alone or it is immoral, and some change
Is necessary If marriage is to be saved
from degradation. Real love always
makes people better. Romantic love Is
the source Of all the best things In life
the foundation of all the arts. And
Individual happiness makes up the hap.
piness Of the race."-Boston Post.

Stewed Apples.

To stew apples so each quarter is un-
broken and so clear one can almost see
through it is an art, and yet it is sim
pie thing to do If one only knows how.
Feel tart apples very thin, cut them In
quarters and remove the cores and
seeds. AS fast as you can peel and
quarter them drop the apples In q
saucepan in which you have already
placed cold water to the depth Of two
inches. When the apples are all In put
the saucepan over slow fire, cover II
till the water reaches the boiling point
then remove the cover and let the ap-
pies simmer almost imperceptibly till
you can pierce them easily with a
toothpick; then sprinkle the sugar
over them and let them just simmer
until 1t Is all melted. Remove the
saucepan from the fire and let it stand
where the apples will get cold before
turning them into dish for the table.

Bumps on the Head.

The lump raised by a blow on the
head Is due to the resistance offered
by the hard skull and its close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands Of connec-
tive tissue. The result Of a blow when
the scalp Is not cut Is the bruising and
laceration of many Of the small blood
vessels or capillaries. Blood or its
fluid constituent, serum, Is poured into
the meshes of the surrounding con-
nective tissue, which Is delicate,
spongy, distensible and cellular, and
the well known bump or lump is quick
ly formed. This cannot push inward
at all and naturally takes the line of
least resistance. Similar bumps may
be formed on the shin In exactly the
same way, for the shin bone also is
covered only by skin and simultaneous
connective tissue.

Glenaarry's Treason"

How startling was the difference in
the customs Of the English and the
Scots even less than a 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 1892
Glengarry was one OF party Of Scot
fish mobiles and gentlemen who BAN
quoted 1.-THE first gentleman Of Europe
In Holyrood 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.

Mr.. Palmer is sixty-two years Of age,

He appeared very much grieved when
he was told he was too old for the serv-
ice.
Neither money nor the desire for ex-
perience had anything to do with Mr..
Palmer's applying for service In the
ranks. He owns 700 acres Of good
Pawnee county land.
His only reason was bis desire to

stoekina the National Parks.

The United States Is carrying on q
very interesting work In exchanging
the wild animals Of one region for those
Of others-transplanting elk and deer
and Rocky mountain bighorns from
regions In the United States where
they are plentiful to others where, so
far as known, they have not lived.
Some Of the animals are being shipped
long distances, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Wyoming Is full OF elk. The herds
In the Jackson Hole country are the
largest Of any Of North American wild
animals since the days Of the countless
buffaloes. But the big Yosemite Ma
tional park Of California, with its
three-quarters Of a million acres, un-
til recently had no elk, or at least only
q very few scattered specimens. But
the elk shipped In from Wyoming have
become very much at home and are
breeding and multiplying rapidly, add

Emperor and Car.


The Car Ferdinand of Bulgaria, not
withstanding his numerous visits to
Vienna, never succeeded in making
himself welcome to the Austrian aris-
tocracy. For a long time the aged en-
peror refused to receive him. After
much useless scheming to get the ear
of Francis Joseph he was advised to
obtain the aid Of Nine. Schratt, who
held at Schoenbrun an influential po
sidon.
Ferdinand sent to this favorite q
jewel box with a note: 81 desire to
offer to you the earrings that my moth
er wore until her death Deign to &C
cept them and intercede in my favor
with the emperor"
Nine. Schratt used her kindly Of
fees, and Francis Joseph consented to
receive the king Of the Bulgars. Fer
dinand had brought a napkin filled
with papers that he wished to show to
the emperor. After Ferdinand's de-
parture the emperor, turning to bis
grand chamberlain, said: at Is curious
that q king should be SO lacking In
manners. This fellow has spoken to
me as though were a mere notary!.'

FOR DRY FARMING
Can Be Practiced Where Water
Is Not Available.
REQUIRES MUCH PATIENCE.

In Missouri, In Drought Of 1914, Use of
Dry Farming Methods by Only Part
Of Farmers Largely Increased Yield
of Corn Per Acre as Compared With
That Of 1901.
Washington.-With the burden Of
supplying the worlds wartime crop
facing this country, the committee on
statistics and standards Of the Chamber
of Commerce Of the United States has
called attention to the possibilities
Of dry farming. Such methods, 1t is
declared, can be made to fit the re-
quirements for raising many Of our
most important products. Dry farm
ing is said to be the only form Of agri-
culture which can be successfully prac-
ticed In any region where water Is not
available for irrigation and where
rainfall Is not sufficient for humid
farming.
The Inherent purpose Of dry farming,
II Is pointed out, Is to conserve mois-
ture In the soil until needed for grow
ing plants. The dry farmer resorts to
methods Of timely and proper cultiva-
ton, narrowing, disking and blowing,
to increase the penetration Of water,
prevent evaporation and store mois-
ture in the soil for the benefit Of the
plants.
"Dry farming is not an easy Job, nor
L. the lot Of the farmer In the semi
arid regions any happier at times than
that Of the policemen in the Pirates
Of Penzance,'" says Archer Wall Doug
las of st. Louis, chairman Of the ma
tional commerce committee. ut Is a
business requiring much industry, pa
thence, fortitude and intelligent under
standing of the surrounding conditions.
Likewise In the beginning 1t needs
some reserve capital against emergen-
cies. For there are years when, through
weeks, even months, Of rainless heat,
the sky is as brass and the earth as
iron underneath, and rainfall only q
distant memory.
"Yet persevered In and intelligently
stuck to, it is apt to record success
and to furnish a great need for the
utilization Of the vast area OF semi
arid country. Once exploited as a
panacea, then denounced as a fad, 1t
has at last come into its own as an In
telligent scientific form Of agriculture,
absolutely essential to the development
Of large section Of our country"
OF particular interest In meeting war
time conditions is the argument that
dry farming methods are applicable
not only to farming in the semiarid,
but likewise humid regions in times Of
drought. In Missouri in the drought
Of 1914 the use of dry farming methods
by only a part Of the farmers largely
increased the yield Of corn per acre, as
compared with similar conditions In
1901.

BOY FARMER A PATRIOT;
SAVES MOTHER A fine
Gennaro Didn't Go to School, but
Cultivated Twenty Acres
In WeStGhester.

New York-Mrs. Rosa de Rosa, q
widow, missed being fined in the mu-
nicipal term court for keeping her son
Gennaro home from school by just
twenty acres. These acres are part Of
her home at Mill Lane, Westchester,
and for the last month they have been
plowed and narrowed and fortified
and planted and cultivated by Gennaro
alone, and he is only fifteen.
1t was his age that got Gennaro into
trouble, for the compulsory education
law compels parents to keep their chill
dren In school until their sixteenth
year. That is why Mrs. De Rosa ap-
peared In court, very much frightened
and escorted by Attendance Officers
Puglieri and Carney.
Magistrate Appleton looked sternly
at the little Italian woman until she
had explained that she was a widow,
that there was mortgage on her home
and that Gennaro was her only sup
port. Then he smiled, and after Publ
eri and Carney had testified that the
twenty acres were under intensive Gull
tivation and that one fifteen-year-old
lad was doing all this work the magis-
trate announced his decision.
Sentence suspended" he said. Your
son, Mrs. De Rosa, is doing patriotic
duty. He Is real benefit to the COM
munity-more so than If he went to
school, as the law requires"
Gennaro did not hear this praise. He
was up In Westchester. cultivating the
twenty acres.
