They Shall Return.

They shall return when the wars are
over,
When battles are memories dim anG
far;
Where guns now stand shall be corn
and clover,
Flowers shall bloom where the blood.
drops are.
They shall return with laughing faces,
Limbs that are 1.-THE and hearts new
born;
Yea. we shall see them in old home
places,
Lovelier yet the light of morn.
Dream not they die, tho their bodies
perish;
Spirits like theirs, so free and
brave,
Go on to conquer and vitality flourish
Spite of the sword and grasping
grave.
They shall! return when the wars are
over,
When the battles are memories dim
and far;
Where guns now stand shall be- corn
and clover,
Flowers shall bloom where the
blood-drops are
They shall return!

ENGINE BUILT LIKE A WATCH
Fast, Modern AirpIane May Readr
Cost From $4,000 to $4,000 and
Wears Out Quickly.

The engine Of your motor car
weighs from 500 to 1000 pounds, or
more. It will average from 20 to 80
horsepower ct the lowest, says a
writer in Golfers. The new airplans
engines run less than three pounds per
horsepower and the finest Of them two
pounds or less. Airplanes have been
built with air-cooled engines for short
distance, fast scouting whose en-
gines weigh less than pound and
three-Quarters per horsepower. They
must be quite literally, as an old ad-
vertisement used to say, "built like
watch"
At present high-powered airplane
engine of the best type-say 120 to
$50 orsepower-cannot be purchased
for much less than $4,000. And the
whole airplane, big one, may readily
cost $4,000 to $4,000. You can read
lily see why the construction Of only
$4,000 airplanes, as in England's pro-
gram, would easily equal, for total
expenditure for men and camps and
hangers and repairs and wastage,
more than half billion dollars.
A fast modern airplane has an aver
age life of only about two or three
hundred hours Of active service-say
two months at the outside. This
means that to keep 10000 airplanes on
a battle line you have to be able to
build 5000 per month or more. The
cost would be almost unthinkable.
That is why warfare In the air for any
length of time would bankrupt the
world. And that, in turn, is why war
fare in the air means the end Of all
warfare.

How to be Happy Though Hot.

On nearly every farm and in
nearly every country home is great
deal that can be done and ought to
be done to increase human comfort
in summer. Here are few sug-
gestions:
l. Work early and late but take
a good rest and a nap in the middle
of the day. This is the custom in
nearly all countries to the south of
us, and ought to be followed more
generally by farmers in our sec
ton. The writer was talking re-
Gently with ex-President Taft, who
emphasized this wise adaptation to
conditions in the Philippines as one
of the most striking features of life
in those islands.
2. Screen the house to keep out
flies and mosquitoes.
8. Provide comfortable ham,
mocks, rocking chairs, and rustic
! seats for the porch and lawn. Ham
mocks and rocking chairs don't cost
much, and after doing hard days
work, the tired farmer and his wife
are certainly entitled to the extra
comfort these conveniences offer.
4. Give the boys Saturday after,
moons off for baseball or the swim
ming pool, except when the work
of crop cultivating is most pressing,
Mr.. Farmer should also Bhave the
same time off for attending his
farmers meetings and Mrs. Far
mer for attending the meetings Of
her farm women's club. Arrange a
picnic, too, after crops are laid by
5. Have plenty of big, red, juicy
watermelons together with an abun.
dance of cantaloupes, grapes, figs,
apples, pears and peaches. Then
don't stop with eating these fruits
raw or in pies, but get the good

wife to learn the forty other ways
of serving and cooking them, each
one with new and keen appeal to
the hungry palate, the very sight of
each producing what Charles Lamb
calls "a premonitory moistening of
the neither lip" Qf you haven't
provided these things this year, you
can at least resolve now that you
will not let another fall go by with
out planting abundant fruit trees
nor another spring without planting
a big enough melon patch.)
6. Keep a great variety of vege-
tables in the garden. Many far
mers have plenty of vegetables in
early summer, but scarcity toward
fall. Let's see if every Progress
sive Farmer reader this year can't
have growing clean up to the last
of October all the good things Mrs.
Lindsay Patterson had growing up
to that time last year-corn, peas,
okra. lima beans, beets, tur-
nips, cabbage, lettuce, radishes,
snap beans, sweet and Irish pota-
toes, carrots, pumpkins, satisfy,
parsnips, tomatoes and onions.
Don't let a foolish fancy keep
you from enjoying certain vegeta-
bles, but try a little while and you
will learn to like all of them. The
Progressive Farmer.

SOLDIER MAKES
 5-DOLLAR HI

A five-dollar hit was made by R. Englsh of Company G when he rock eted the ball into left field yester- day afternoon at the Haines ball park and won the Fort Seward-Skag' way game in the tenth inning, 6 to ,. The five spot was the prize for the first home run, offered by Glen c. Bartlett of the Gastineau hotel, Juneau.
 Though crippled by the absence of several of the regular players and forced to play an uphill game, the soldiers getting away with four-run start in the first inning, the Skagway players kept up such steady drive that only one of the post team penetrated to home plate in the next five innings. In the seventh, the Skagway attacking part y used it's gas bombs and, forcing. the euemy from their trenches, cap fured three runs, tying the score %I live all.
 Both sides rested on their arms the next two innings. Then, in the tenth, English fired the gun that won the game.

Astronomical Facts.

The diameter of the sun is reek-
oned at ss2, 900 miles. This dame
ter, owing to its loss of heat and
the consequent condensation, is
steadily being shortened, though at
a very slow rate, of course. The
whole solar systematic sun and all
of its planets-is moving through
space at a pace estimated at about
150,OOO,OOO miles annually. Those
who are supposed to know about the
matter assure US that, owing to cer-
tain causes, too numerous and COM
plicated to be dealt with in this
place, the planet on which we live
receives only the 1880 millionth
part of the heat that is thrown of
by the sun. Even as it is the earth
receives annually from the sun an
amount of heat that exceeds by a
million times the heat producible
by the combustion of 100000, 900
tons of coal.

Stale Bread.

1t is generally supposed that the
staleness of bread arises from its
becoming actually drier by the
gradual loss of water, but this is
not the case. Stale bread contains
almost exactly the same proportion
of water as new bread after it has
become completely cold. The change
is merely in the internal arrange
ment Of the molecules of the bread.
A proof of this is that if We put q
stale loaf into a closely covered tin,
expose it for half an hour or an
hour to a heat not exceeding that Of
boiling water and then allow it to
cool, it will be restored in appear
ance and properties practically to
the state of the new bread.-E1-

Msakest Animal on Earth.

The elephant, the lion and the
horse may be taken as the three
creatures capable of moving the
greatest weights. But in relation
to their bulk the power Of these ami
mails is infinitely less than that dis
played by many of the lower forms
Of life. Insects ae the true ath-
letes in animated nature. If an ant
could be developed on the scale OF
an elephant, with muscular power in
proportion to its new bulk, it would
be able to draw q heavily laden
freight train without an apparent
effort. A Belgian scientist by
means Of delicate apparatus has
found that a bee, weight for weight,
is thirty times as strong Is 9 horse.
Even a crab has been found to be
able to lift 492 times its own weight.
Man in proportion to bis size Is
probably the weakest animal on the
face of the earth.
