er of Iowa believes that the Pre-
sident should make known his
exemptions under the conscrip-
ton law as soon as possible so
that the farmers may know at
the earliest possible moment what
the prospect will be for obtaining
help in the present season. Mr..
Towner has received a letter from
a member of the Iowa legislature
calling attention to the pressing
need of such information. Crops,
he declares, are not being plant
ed because of scarcity of labor,
and the condition will be aggra-
waited unless farmers can know
in advance whether they will be
allowed to keep their labor thro'-
out the season. Mr.. Towner says
that the cold, wet weather in his
state has already disheartened
the farmers, and unless they re-
ceive encouragement from the
administration on the labor ques-
ton the shortage of acreage plan
ted will be serious indeed.

A CHARM FOR EVERY ACHE.
Even the CoIdnesa of Sweetheart Can
Be Cured In China.


If YOU suffer from tuberculosis or
Indigestion; if your wife is fractions
or Your children disobedient; if you
have business troubles or owe the
landlord; if you are in love and the
lady is 'uncertain, coy and hard to
please" if you are tired of too much
rain; if the crops are bad or the
hogs won't fatten and the cattle are
i'll and you live in China-you get
a charm. Or if none of these things
has befallen YOU, but, prudent and
farsighted, you would prevent them,
you get a charm too. 1t is both
prophylactic and remedial. And
cheap-generally it is an inscrip-
ton made of the INTERVENING Of Chi
nese characters or symbols on red
or yellow or white pieces of paper.
The origin of the system of
charm is, of course, religious and
as such universal; the scholar as
we'll as the coolie is its devotee. 1t
arises from the belief that all ma
ture is animated with spirits, good
or bad. The shen are the good spir-
| its; the kwei the bad. The shen
bring about health, riches, peace and
other good qualities; the kwei dis
ease, poverty, storms and other bad
qualities or phenomena. Thus there
are charms that bring to one the
shen; others that not only ward off
but slay the kwei. And since each
disease or misfortune has its own
evil spirit, there must be special
weapon to slay it. Hence the null
tiplicity of charms.
Because of their religious origin
the making of charms is exclusively
prerogativc of the temple. Incl
dentally it also is one of the chief
activities of the priests and monks
and one of the chief means of sup
port of the temple or the monaS-
terry. In any Chinese temple of any
faith one can see priests at work la
boriously inscribing the charms on
varicolored paper and tables with
displays of the various charms. One
walks to the counter, tells ones
troubles and gets ones charm. One
takes it away, serene in the assur-
ance that all is to be well, What if
it is not and the stomach still aches,
the nose still bleeds, the wife still
scolds or the drought still parches
Well, some one else was propitiating
the evil spirit.-Nathaniel PfeffeI

Political Gossip from
Washington.

Washington, May III. Especial
Correspondence. The extension
of the work of the Coast and Ge-
odetic Survey, particularly on the
Pacific coast, has a strong advo.
cate in Senator Wesley L. Jones
Cf the state of Washington. Mr..
Jones has collected statistics
showing that vessels valued at
almost fourteen million dollars,
and almost 500 lives, have been
destroyed on our western coast
in the last fifty years by striking
hidden rocks not indicated on
sailing charts. The two old ships
that have done duty for many
years on the coast have recently
been condemned as unfit for deep
sea work, and Senator Jones is
most apprehensive that further
serious wrecks will occur unless
the Coast Survey IS furnished
with two new ships to continue
the work of charting the rocks.
In an able statement of the case
to the Senate the Senator secured
the adoption of an amendment
providing an appropriation of
S7O8, 900 for the new steamers.

Gettysburg.

P, B. Moul made a visit to hi'
family at Columbus Friday night
to return tonight.
/. M. Petersime and wife, ac,
companied by ]. H. Kniesly anC
wife, made a visit yesterday tc
her sister, residing near Dayton,
and on the return trip took in
Fort Mckinley and some other
noted places lying in the wake of
the trip.
A very much needed rain came
yesterday and put the ground in
fine shape for planting, cultiva-
tion, and in fact did great good
in many ways.
A large area of corn was plan
ted last week and the favorable
condition of the weather will has
ten the growth. The prospect
seems to be that an unusual ac-
reage will be cultivated this year.
1t seems that everybody, no mat
ter what their vocation may be,
will devote goodly part of their
energies to the cultivation of po-
tatoes and truck. This venture
seems necessary to compensate
for the large army of non-produ-
GERS resulting from the war. A
large commissariat will be need
ed. not only to feed our soldier
boys, but the armies at war on
the other side of the branch. If
a good season favors us the need
full will materialize and every
person will be fed. so far as it
can be done, barring the work of
the U-boat, which is causing sad
havoc to merchant vessels carry
ing food supplies.
AS usual, Gettysburg will OBJ
serve Memorial Day. Surely this
will not be neglected in our great
national crisis.
In four weeks from last Satur-
day and yesterday the fourth
quarterly meeting of this circuit
will be held here.
In five weeks from yesterday
Rev. Washburn will hold special
services in our M. E. church.

Facts About American
Flag.

shrouded in doubt. While tn
! early colonies displayed many ant
various coloced emblems, it is un
derstood that at C Cambridge, Mass
on January 2, 1776, Washington
displayed a flag consisting OF
thirteen stripes of red and white,
with the union jack in place Of
stars, the stripes being emblem.
attic of the union of the thirteen
colonies against British oppres-
sion. Where and when the blue
field and white stars originated
is a matter of conjecture. Per-
haps the majl rity Cf authorities
consider the design to have been
suggested by the coat Of arms of
the Washington family, which
contains both the stars and
stripes.
It may be surprising to know
that the American flag is among
the oldest flags of the nations,
being older than thepreseht Bri-
tish jack, the French tricolor, the
flag of Spain, and many years
older than the national emblems
of Germany and Italy. Natural,
ly, in an Uniformed country, pre-
vious to the days of national uni
ty, there were many forms of
flags used by the individual colo
MES and various military bodies.
1t was not until 1777 that a ma
tional emblem was adopted by
the Continental Congress, on
July IA, now celebrated through
out the country as Flag Day.
Most of us know that the resolu-
ton then adopted stated: "That
the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alter
nate red and white; that the un-
ion be thirteen stars, white in a
blue field. representing a new
constellation" but did not define
how many points the stars should
have, how they should be group
ed, nor did it make any provision
for additional stars.
It has been generally accepted
that the American emblem has
always retained the general for
nation of the original flag adopt
ed by the Continental Congress,
but a series of flags in the Ma
tional Museum shows very well
the periodic changes which have
taken place. From the time of
the Revolution the stars and
stripes have varied in number.
| After the admission of Vermont
and Kentucky into the union in
1892 and 1894 Congress enacted
THAT from and after the first
4 day of May, one thousand sever
hundred and ninetyfve, the flag
of the United States be fifteer
A stripes aIternated red and white
\, that the union be fifteen stars
white in a blue field;" the inten
ton apparently being to add
stripe as we'll as a star for eacl
new state admitted.

No member of the House has
fought more persistently for the
upbuilding of our Merchant Ma
rine than Congressman William
S. Greene of Massachusetts, rank
ing Republican member of the
Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries. 1t is largely due
to his efforts that our coastwise
fleet has been brought to its pre-
sent strength, and he has been
one of the chief opponents, dur
ing the present administration,
of legislation intended to destroy
the great business enterprises
which maintain our superiority
in, that regard. During the con-
sideration of the bill in commit
tee giving the President power
to take over interned enemy ships
Mr.. Greene offered an amend
ment providing that such ships
should not be operated in our
coastwise trade. Although his
amendment was defeated, Rep
resentative Greene will not abate
his efforts in behalf of our coast
al fleet.

Annual yellow sweet clover
should be sown in no portion of
the Urited States except the
south and southwest, and then
only as a cover or green manure
crop.
Stale bread can be utilized in a
variety of ways in combination
with vegetables and meats, in
preparing cakes, breads and pud-
dings, and in other ways.
Much food is thrown away be-
cause so many people do not know
how to utilize left-overs or will
not take the trouble to keep and
prepare them. Leftover cereals
can be re-heated or combined
with fruits, meats or vegetables
into appetizing side dishes. Even
a spoonful of cereal is worth saw
ing to thicken soup, gravy or
sauce.
Every bit of fat trimmed from
meat before cooking or tried out
in boiling, roasting or broiling
can be made use of in cooking.
Many butchers, after they have
weighed meat and named the
price for the cut, trim off valua-
BILE fat. This fat, which the
housewife pays for, if taken home
and used would reduce expendi-
lures for cooking fats.
In the more humid sections of
the country good stands of sweet
clover usually are obtained by
seeding with a nurse crop.
Scraps of left. over meat or fish
can be combined with cereal or
other mild-favored food, both to
give favor and to add nourish-
ment to the total dish.
Vegetables properly prepared

are soggily cooked or poorly sea.
soned. much of them will be left
on the table.
Many persons are unaware
that the green and tender tops of
many vegetables, such as radish-
es, turnips, celery and beets, con-
tain valuable mineral and other
| food substances, and are excel
lent cooked as green's, or even as
additions to salads.
That vast amounts of nourish-
ing material are thrown out from
American kitchens and so made
useless for human consumption
| is we'll established by the returns
from garbage and fertilizer plants
showing the amount of fats and

ing of small amounts of leftover
food as unimportant. If they
