UnCeserved Derision.

No more undeserved derisive nick
name was ever visited upon an organi-
cation than that of the Fourteenth
Hussars, commanded by Colonel Ham
ilton. Several companies of it were
once compelled to retreat before an
overwhelming force and the whole
regiment was branded as "Hamilton's
Runaways" Here was q regiment
which was one of the bravest ever in
the service of Great Britain; it had
left its dead on the battlefelds in all
parts of the world; it had brilliant
record for valor and yet was it known
even to its comrades in arms by an in
sulting epithet.

The term Indian summer" is APP
piled to a period of mild, open weather
that comes in the fall, embracing the
most of October and sometimes ez-
tending into November, and character
lied by sort of dry mist or hazinesA
that difforentlates- it from other sea-
sons of the year What causes the DIS
tinctive features of the season, espe-
ciaIly the hazy atmosphere, is I'M
known, and the origin of the term
equally SO. Different explanations
have been given Of both, but they seem
to be largely fauciful.

Just to Work.

Everything that happens to us leaves
some trace behind, writes a philoso-
pheT. Everything contributes imper-
ceptibly to make us what we are. Yet
it is often dangerous to take a strict
account of it. For either we grow
proud and negligent, or downcast and
dispirited; and both are equally injuri
Gus in their consequences. The surest
plans is Just to do the nearest task
that lies before us.

Meaning Of MEethany."

Bethany" means "the house of
dates" We are thus reminded that
the palm tree grew in the neighbour
hood of the Mount of Olives. The
word Phoenicia which occurs in Acts
9:19 and 1873 is probably derived
from the Greek word for palm.

Shall We Quit Spending?
MILWAUKEE JOURNAL

MILWAUKEE JOURNAL
One of the greatest problems
each one OF us who wants TO be
patriotic has to solve is much to
economic. Shall we sit tight on
our nickels, squeeze our pennies
until the Indians grow pop-eyed
and wear our last years suit I'M
til it shines like a school boys
morning face? Or shall we live
on a normal plane, discarding
our raiment with the styles, buy
ing a new automobile everything
neighhor Jones gets one, and let
ting our shekels circulate freely?
Will we be slothful servants if
we hide our talents in the
ground? Or shall we take FIVE
talents, go and trade with them,
and make five other talents?
To spend or not to spend, that
is the question.
Common sense tells us that
business, not as usual, must be
our watchword. We have a
terrific burden upon us, to meet
which it is necessary that we
keep the markets open, that we
buy and barter and sell, that we
permit money to make money
more money even than usual
For it is only in this way that
we can produce, or even approx
innate, the additional revenue
necessary to support the war.
There is an economy that
means prosperity and success in
the war. And there is an econo-
my that means financial straits
and defeat. The first is that
which conserves wheat, pota-
toes, meat, sugar and coal.
These are necessities that are OF
vital value to the war and on
which there is shortage. He
who wastes these is a citizen
Stacker.
But in other commodities-au-
tomobiles, furs, golf sticks, furni-
ture, china, and the like = we
should continue buying as usual
according to our means. Too
strict economy in these would
drug the market. stop manufac-
ture, throw millions out of en-
ployment. and result in inevita-
BILE hunger and distress through
out the country. Clogged mar
kets mean cessation of money
making, decreased revenues, SO
that when the government has
need of additional loans, there
would be no surplus funds from
which to draw
The problem. seemingly SO
complex, is simple. He serves
best who spends as usual except
on those natural products that
are of immediate necessity anC
on which there is a shortage
When the government needs Ger
tain commodities it will com
mandeer them. 1t will notify us
of their shortage and its need
| Then will be the time to save
Our part now is to keep the mar
kets going, to cfeate the de
mand, to make business better
than usual. For when all is saic
and done it is the markets that
keep our homes, our schools, oul
churches, our states, our nation
going.

Report of Recruiting PIeases Adjutant

Speed-Wright Gets Appointment.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus.-With scouts out in ev-
cry corner of the state the recruiting
for Ohio's automobile trains for the di-
vision of the Ohio National Guard is
going forward steadily. The headquar-
ters for the bulk of the work will be
Cleveland, Toledo and Cincinnati,
where automobile industries are estab-
Ished. The purpose is to complete
the organization as soon as possible so
that the division may be put into
shape.
Adjutant General George H. Wood
was much gratifed with the report
from Cincinnati that the First Regi.
ment has more than 1900 men, and
rapidly is assuming the condition of a
real war regiment. Other regiments
are showing up well.
There is under consideration a prop
osition to convert the Ninth Battalion
negro infantry, into regiment of dis
mounted cavalry, thus giving the state
the needed extra regiment to bring il
up to the proper strength. Another
phase of military service will be the
aviation corps.
Two new commissions were giver
to Lieut.. Earl W. Cliff, Youngstown
being promoted to captain in the san
itary train, and Raymond Miller, Della
ware, being commissioned first lieu
tenant in the dental corps. The ap
pointment of Senator Howell Wright
of Cleveland, as Executive Secretar!
of the Ohio Branch, Council of Nation
al Defense, was just announced b.
Gov. Cox. Senator Wright succeeds

Active construction of the Chilli
cothe cantonment, where Ohio's draf

gagged, including 200 teamsters wit
teams, carpenters, track layers, ditcI
diggers, plumbers and others.

Some Birds Are Msnrinters.n y

Birds with short, square wings, like
the king bird, quail and ruf1ed grouse,
are sprinters; those with a wide
stretch of wings are distance rum
ners." Birds of the first class attain
their bursts of speed through their
very rapid wing stroke; birds of the
second class have sustained powers of
flight, but get under way more slowly.
All the gallinaceous fowl are sprint
ers. They take wing like a bullet;
their wings make a loud, whirring
sound. The quail or ruffied grouse can
gain full momentum within sixty feet
of rising; the wings beat from five to
seven times a second. The quail COW
ers from forty-five to fifty feet the first
second away from the gun; his wings
flash like a rapidly revolving wheel.
The wings of the ruff1ed grouse roar
until the sound can be heard 200 yards

Welcome the Birds.

Are all the beautiful birdhouses that
we're made last winter now in place
and occupied? Let us give a glad
welcome to all the birds that can be
induced to live near US. Not everyone
realizes the benefit these little crea-
lures confer. The work they do in
preserving our crops and fruit from
the ravages Of insects needs to be
told again and again. Besides this
great use, the happiness they give US
with their songs and their beauty is
not to be told or measured. Many
heavy heart has been cheered and COM
forted by the robins friendly "cheer
up, dearie; cheer up" as he fits about
home Robins love TO be friendly,
and there are other birds which love
human society. Have you in your
yard dish of water for them to drink
aand bathe in? If not, put one there,
and observe how gladly it is made use
of.-EXchange.

INSPECTORS MAKING SURVEY
Excuse That Big Coal Cost Is Fault Of
Roads Can't Be Used Much Longer
Have Adopted New System.

Columbus-From the coal operators
the high prices of coal, which have be-
come so serious that state and Ma
tional Governments are preparing to-
act, are due entirely to lack of railway
transportation and therefore are
blamable on the railroads. Having
called in the. operators for a confer
ence the state, through the Public Util-
tiles Commission, has begun to beat a
tattoo on the railroads.
With extra inspectors, for which an
appropriation recently was obtained,
the state is attempting to round up
the railroads. 1t has been found that
the presence of few inspectors SEEM
ed to have a magical effect, so that
the state concluded it. would be a good
l. Vestment to have more inspectors.
When delay is found in interstate
commerce the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the National Council
of Defense at Washington are notified.
The entire work is IN charge of James
B. Dugan, who has been recalled to the
| state service and made Chief inspector
of Railroads. He is introducing a new
system by which he hopes to have the
condition of traffic at his fingers ends
every day, and to be able to apply urg
ings where they are necessary.
One of the first reports he had day
or two ago was that 1000 cars of inter
state commerce coal at Corning hell
things in a tie-up on the Toledo ant
Ohio Central Railroad. He wired a
once to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Very promptly the inquir!
came from the T. & o. c. Offices as t.
whether a complaint had been mad
to Washington. After the Federal au
thorities expressed their disapprova
of tie-up conditions it was stated tha
the cars were on the move.
