to please. Our designs are all that could be
desired in moderately priced furniture. Spe-

DON'T BURN THE LEAVES

Instead of burning the leaves that
are falling pust now with such rapid
ity, put them on your garden. They
make an excellent fertilizer, and be-
sides it is a much easier way Of dis
posing Of them than by smoking out
your neighbors, and filling the air
with a disagreeable acrid, stinging
smoke.
in some cities the burning Of leaves
is strictly prohibited by city ordi-
nance and strictly enforced. Many
physicians have indicated their belief
that the smoke from the burning
leaves induces diphtheria and other
serious throat troubles. At the very
least 1t is an unsanitary and wholly
useless proceeding. The dead leaves
should be restored to replenish the
soil from which they spring.

low Mud-Flres Are
Rekmdled.

Louisville, KY, October 30 - Rain
played havoc with training schedules
at Camy Zachary Taylor yesterday af-
ernoon-turned the reservation in
to lake of oozy yellow mud and
forcibly brought home to the young
soldiers some idea Of the hardships
and discomforts that must be en-
dured while wearing the khaki.
Early in the afternoon officers and
men made a brave attempt to con-
tinue their drills despite the drench-
ing downpour. Every hour. every
minute during a drill period Is con-
sidered invaluable. When the word
was passed to put on ponchoes and
face the weather there was not a
murmur--it was all in the game
Men marched out into the mud and
water, where they fioundered around
like fish out Of their element. Keep
ing step was impossible and the COM
mands of the officers were often un-
heard because of the roar Of the wind
which accompanied the rain. Gen
Hale soon saw the impracticability OF
carrying on training under such con-
ditions and orders we're sent out from
Division Headquarters suspending all
further drill for the afternoon.
A mighty cheer went up when the
order was given to march back to the
barracks. On reaching the buildings
however, another surprise was or
hand to greet them.( The roofs hat
been given the supreme test and hat
failed. There was water everywhere
and many man found his cot drench'
ed and his bedding soaked.
The officers quarters suffered fal
worse than those of the men. The
roofs on these buildings seemed to b.
totally unfit for the purpose required
Water was standing in some of thu
rooms In wide pools and streams
we're pouring down the walls. Th'
regimental fire department was called
out several units to help bale ou
certain buildings.
Throughout the camp there wal
unanimous complaint against thu
roofing provided for the buildings
Only a very few proved to be water
proof-one of which was Division
Headquarters. Staff officers wer,
able to state that they had suffere,
no inconvenience from the rain
which at times assumed the proper
tions of a cloudburst.

SIXTEEN CONTESTANTS
In Canning Exhibit Enter FOrty-Flye
Jars Of Canned Vegetables
Prizes Awarded and Honor.
able Mention Is Given.

A total Of forty-fve jars Of canned
vegetables were entered in the can
ming contest and exhibition at the
Chamber Of Commerce last week.
These jars were the exhibits Of six
teen ladies Of the city and county,
famed for their ability in culinary
arts. The purpose Of these canning
contests is primarily educational and
1t Is to be hoped that another year
there will be greater number of en-
tries and more visitors at the exhibi-
ton.
In addition to the prizes mentioned
In an issue Of last week honorable
mention is made of several other ex-
hibits. The list follows:
First prize-Mrs. z. P. Lee.
Second prize-Mrs. Quaintance.
Reward Of Merit-Mrs. N. F. Jones
Honorable Mention-Mrs. DR.. Har-
over, Mrs. Charles M. Hancock, Mrs
Fred Williams, Miss Emma Williams
The idea Of the canning exhibitio
is to give our local house wives ar
idea Of what may be done in the way
Of canning fruits and vegetables ant
to be an added incentive to the rails
ing of war gardens and the increased
canning and preserving of our sur.
Plus food supply.
Particular mention should be made
of the canned Swiss chard exhibited
by Mrs. Charles Hancock. Chard 1!
a vegetable known by our Masor
county people, but is easily raised IL
this section and answers a twofolt
purpose as the top may be used as {
salad or cooked as turnip and th'
roots can be creamed like celery.

morning when 40 or so wagons lined
up at the switch yard and back on
Main-X street waiting in turn to get
coal. There was but one or two car
loads to be had and some had to go
home empty handed. The demand for
coal was caused by the cold weather
which had set in and by the fact that
most people were unable to lay in
their coal supply last summer.

DENIED RIGHTS,
WOMEN LEAVE
ENGLISH Church

LONDON. Aug. 12-The appoint
ment OF Miss Maude Royden as pulpit
assistant to Dr. Fort Newton at the
City Temple has revived the old con.
troversy as to the right of women
to preach.
Already there is a great deal of
feeling among the women OF the
Church OF England on the subject.
But this appointment to a position
in the Congregational Church points
out clearly how the Church of Eng
land by maintaining superannuated
prejudices is losing ground with its
woman members.
Miss Royden's vogue as a religious
and social speaker dates from the be-
ginning OF the National Mission of
Repentance and Hope last year. she
Detained the consent Of several bish-
ops for women to deliver mission
sermons in church. though subsequent
protests on the part Of a few London
clergy caused this permission to be
withdrawn later.
The result OF the action of the
clergy has been a veritable exodus
of thoughtful women from the Church
of England.

l.-INCHEASING THE RANGE.
BY PHOEBE PRESTON.
When the novice swimmer has
learned to breathe between strokes.
and when the timing OF the leg kick
and the arm stroke become regular
and more or less instructive, that nov
ice is getting on.
Soon she will find that practice at
these motions has the effect Of pro
ducinG an individual style" however
rudimentary that style may be.
She will observe that the combina-
ton OF arm and leg motions actually
sends her through the water and that
the question Of keeping afloat has
become an altogether secondary mat
ter. If the pupil thinks of ii at all.
without knowing u.
Perhaps she will suddenly discover
that she has taken half dozen
strokes almost without knowing it
herself. The rest Of the folks in the
pool will soon know it, unless the pu-
pil is very backward. This is the
point where teacher begins to en-
Joy the work OF his pupil, for 1t is
the beginning Of results.
BY this time the pupil will begin
venturinE out four or five strokes and
swimming back, thus making eight or
ten strokes in all Now she Is con
fronted with the problem Of increas-
ing her swimming range and develop
ing the swimming principles she had
learned.
! think that the best thing any girl
can do along this line is to test her
strength after she has made ten
strokes. II she is not exhausted, try
eleven strokes the next time, each
time increasing the range by one
stroke.
With More Ease.
Ostensibly. she'll be learning 70
swim further and with more ease
but incidentally, she'll be improving.
