Indian Arrow Heads.

MIR. Gushing, an authority on mat
tiers pertaining to Indians, tells how,
when he was boy, he learned how the
Indians made their arrow heads.
He had unearthed a beautiful har.
poon of bone. He had a toothbrush with
him, and the bone handle of this he
chopped off and ground down on q
piece of sandstone, to make a harpoon
or his own but he could not grind such
clean-cut barbs as those of the relic.
The boy then took his flint scales and
chips and set to work with them. The
Hint cut the bone away but left the
work rough. Then accidentally he
made discovery, for no sooner had he
begun to rub the bone transversely on
the flint than the bone cut the flint
away. Not jaggedly, as his hammer
stone would have Clipped it but in
long, continuously narrow surface fur
rows wherever the edge was caught in
the bone at q certain angle.
He never finished that harpoon. He
turned it about and used it as an ar
row cutter, by tying it to a little rod
OF wood with a shoestring. He had
found out how the Indians made
arrow heads.

THE PRESIDENTS DEFlNI.
TIoN OF GERMANIsM

Innumerable articles and many
books have been written to define
"Germanism" and show to the. world
what it means.
In his message to Congress Decem.
ber President Wilson defines it as
follows:
This intolerable Thing of which
the masters of Germany have shown
us the ugly face. this menace of com
bined intrigue and force which we
now see so clearly as the German
power, Thing without conscience OF
honor or capacity for convenanted
peace"
This Thing must be crushed, and 4
not truly brought to an end, at leas
shut out from the friendly intercours,
of the nations, says the President
and it is only when this Thing and it,
power are indeed defeated that th,
time can come when we can discuss
peace with the German people.

That this is thoroughly realized by

THRIFT STAMPS

1t is pointed out by the Treasury
Department that Thrift Stamps are
not made redeemable in cash for the
reason that these stamps are simply
intended as a convenient method for
the small savers to accumulate
enough to purchase War Savings
Stamps, which bear interest and are
redeemable in cash.
In addition, to provide for redemp-
tion. for these Thrift Stamps would
involve such an amount of detailed
accounting and labor and expense as
to impair the practicability of their
use In fact, they would be more
trouble and expense to the Govern
ment possibly than they are worth.

of the transition from winter to

SOY BEANS FOR SEED SOUTH OF
OHIO RIVER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IA
The Southern planter still has am
pie time to plant soy beans for q
seed crop, and it therefore offers
him at the present time one of the
best cash grain crops to supplement
cotton.
South of the Potomac and Ohio
Rivers excellent results may be OBJ
tanned by planting after winter grain
and early potatoes are removed, &C
cording to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. In such in
stances the land need only be thor
oughly disked to secure a suitable
seed bed. Late varieties as the
Mammoth may be planted as late as
June Is to 20 and mature good yields
of seed. Early varieties. such as Ito
San, Medium Yellow, Mikado and
Mongol. may be planted in the Cot
ton Belt as late as July Is and still
mature the crop of seed.
The yellow-seeded varieties are
preferred, especially by food manu-
facturers. The Mammoth Yellow is
especially adapted to the Southern
States for seed production. Consid-
cradle quantities OF seed Of this va
riety are still available for planting.
The soy bean already has reached
a place of high economic Importance
in America and Europe as foodstuff.
The seed of the soy bean, unlike that
of the cowpea. rarely is attacked by
the weevil or other grain insects.
Even where the oil is extracted the
resultant meal Is very desirable
food. During the present season the
demand for seed by food manufac-
turers has resulted in greatly In
creased prices. In view of the large
demand. production in excess. Of re-
quirements is very improbable and
this seasons crop undoubtedly will
command profitable prices. The soy
beam also is soil improver and the!
straw is valuable for feeding pur-
poses.

INCREDITABLE ITALY.
(From New York Times)

If the Austrians should check the
Italian advance to-day. it would still
remain the most remarkable of the
year-an assault that lasted for six
teen days with all it's original fury.
The French and British have been
nghting for little hills, for rising
ground" the Italians have been seal
ing mountains. The French and Brit
fish have been going forward, but the
Italians have been going upward; the
French and British lighting horizon
tally, the Italians perpendicularly.
Now they are on a plateau and can go
forward, but what a plateau! 1t is Of
volcanic creation, and IL consists Of
craters, rocks and caves; it is like the
pictures of the dead moon. 1t is bare
and blasted and waterless; never was
q battlefield in such petrified spasm
Of nature. Because there is no wa
ter the Italians build an aqueduct, bit
by bit, as they go along. This land
OF caves and hiding places and desc
late rocks has been fortified by the
Austrians and complicated with barb
ed wire and chevaux de frise until
nature and art have made 1t SEEM
ingly impossible by man.
But to the Italians these Incredible
obstacles came as relief, a modiaca-
ton of their task to the compare
lively easy. For two years they have
had to hight their way up into the
air. They have had to ascend the
steep faces OF high mountains which
ordinary men do not ascend in time
Of peace. and these mountains have
been Infinitely fortified and garri-
soned by a powerful enemy. The
other armies opposed to Germany
have had to attack soldiers. the Ital-
ians have had to attack peaks.
Peak by peak they took them. They
have taken heavy guns and supply
trains up mountains hitherto as
cended only the Alpine climbers who
roped themselves together. They
have swung bridges from one noun
tain peak to another. They have
built trenches, Notifications, roads,
tunnels, retaining walls, 10000 feet
above the sea level; all this in the
face Of an enemy fighting desperately
on the defensive.
