HIRES LOYALTY! SCHOOL CHILDREN TAKE UP HOES
 AND ROUT ENEMY CLODS

With their sleeves rolled up, boys and girls of the Skagway school yesterday showed they are going to do their share in responding to the country's call for loyalty gardens.
 Divided into squads, each under a captain, the school children marche upon the lot northeast of the school. the use of which for a schocl gardaR has been allowed by tRs White Pass railroad. When the charge ended, the enemy, co sisting of regiments of stones and whole divisions of clods, had been entire ly routed. Some of the attacking force suffered sore muscels but not a single gardening soldier but was in at the finish.
 About three dozen raspberry busll es were set out and potatoes and other vegetables are soon to be planted.
 Parents of the children are heart lily supporting the school garden movement so that with their back ing, and the interest manifested by the children, the success of the garden is believed to be assured.

Dust In tho Eyos.

Notwithstanding the best fitting goG- gles automobile tourists are frequently lnconvenienced quite seriously by dust in their eyes, and, although 1t seems impossible to exclude the dust the subsequent treatment for the abate- ment of the annoyance Is quite simple. A solution of borax in warm water will quickly remove the dirt and may be applied either by means of an eye cup or by a small swab of cotton, par ticular attention being given to wiping out the inside of the lower eyelids, where the bulk of the dust will col lect. Besides cleansing the eye, this solution will be found decidedly sooth- ing and to allay the natural infamma- tiOn.-Scientific American.

Tho Life of Trade.

The proprietors of two rival livery stables, situated alongside each other in a busy street, have been having a lively advertising duel lately.
 The other week one of them stuck up on his office window a long strip of paper bearing the words:
 "Our horses need no whip to make them go."
 This bit of sarcasm naturally caused some amusement at the expense of the rival proprietor, but in less than an hour he neatly turned the tables by pasting the following retort on his own window:
 True. The wind blows them along !" London Tit-Bits.

A reader sends this novel suggestion, which may prove serviceable in an emergency to those whose hearing has been impaired: "A friend who Is deaf made me acquainted with a very sim pie aid to hearing which I wish to pass on to others. It is nothing more than mailing tube. Any kind of paper can be used, however, by simply rolling it into a tube and speaking into the end, letting the other rest against the ear of the deaf person. am about as deaf as they ever get and have spent hun dreds of dollars with specialists, but this simple roll of paper beats them all.

High Time People Knew
Truth, Says Bavarian
Peasant Leader

After the debate in the Prussian House
of Deputies March on the food crisis
DR.. Helm. leader of the Bavarian peas
ant party. published an article concern
ing the situation. from which the "Nor-
waerts" prints the following extracts:
at is high time that the facts, which
ID to the present are known to but few
of the unintiated, should be published.
1t is better to tell the people the truth
souarely than to continue to work on a
system which has hopelessly broken
down through its own faults. We must
hold out l2O days longer, until the new
crops; but even if tomorrow brought
hunger peace we would be unable for
months to get pound more of bread
grain. owing to lack of tonnage and the
worlds crop failure.
"This must be told the people square
". and the ruthless measures must be
borne. whether they affect peasants and
town dwellers, not only in Bavaria and
South Germany, but also the Prusslan
agrarians.'
DR.. Helm then attacks the shortcom-
ings of the Prussian agrarians, instanc-
ing their failure TO observe the ordi-
nance to surrender the barley crop of

Japan's Special Manifestation
Of Friendship for
United States.

Toxic, March 12.-As a special mark
of honor to the late George W. Guth-
rie, American Ambas sador to Japan, the
Emperor is expected to detail the first
class cruiser Azuma to transport the
body to the United States. The official
announcement designating the warship
is awaited with great interest, because,
broadly interpreted, it will be a special
manifestation of friendship for the
American nation, especially as Japanese
warships are at present occupied in
patrol duty in the Pacific and Indian
oceans.
Great numbers of persons have Wis
tied the American naval hospital, where
the body lies in state the closed coffin
surmounted with beautiful wreath
from the Emperor. The diplomatic
corps sent a silver wreath designed by
japanese artists. The reception rooms
arc massed with floral offerings from
japanese dignitaries and japanese and
American organizations. japanese Off

attaches constitute the guard of honor.
