Only Vely Bey remained silegd. He
did not stir or speak. He stared. mao
tionless, at the lake.
From its mirror rose one last, ter
rible wall. Then there was utter 3D.
lence, more terrible still.
Sulaiman fell to the floor, sobbiIEg,
Mukhtar groveled at the door. ALI
Pasha said with his grave, kindly
smile: snow the battlefield will npt
seem so terrible to you as 1t did few
hours ago. Depart with all speed.
When you return, you shall find new
harems here"
He unlocked the door and diSap-
peared. Sulaiman and Mukhtar sent
fearful curses after him, but Vely Boy
remained silent and immobile, looking
down at the water. He stood there
while the dusk came and passed, while
the night came on and grew black.
Blacker than the night were the
thoughts that he bent upon his father.
Ali Pasha, In his own chamber,
thought also. He thought of q prophecy
made for him many years before by a
holy man: ''Thine own child shall one
day Stay thee"
$50 be It'll" said the Lion of Janina,
and set his foot undaunted toward that
future, which was to see the destruo-
ton of the fairy city, and to cost the
heads of his sons and himself.

GASOLINE PRICES.

Whenever the subject of gaso1ene Is taken up 1t always interests a large number of the people of the country. There Is something about 1t which sven attracts other than those who own automobiles and internal com bustion engines, so that there cannot help being a widespread interest in the recent report of the federal trade commission which has been making on investigation of the subject for the past two years. Close scrutiny has been made of the Standard Oil com pany and the result is that the com mission believes that the high prices are due to the control which this company possesses, regardless of the dissolution which was ordered as the result of the decision in the oil trust cases The commission therefore ar rives at the conclusion that the dis solution has not done much good, but It does point out that whereas the company controlled about 87 per cent of the gasolene that was marketed prior to the dissolution decree, 1t now has control of but about s5 per cent and that decrease must at least be credited to the change, eveH though il Is held that the business oe the com pary Is such as to still dominate the market.
 The commission does not find, how sver, that the company is evading the The law but on the other hand it was unable to find that there was any col luston among the subsidiaries of tine she company, even though it believes the common stock ownership in these by the leading officials of the Standard should not fs4 permit ted. It shows, however. that in- creaees in the wholesale price have been greatly out of proportion to the Increased demand and the decreased production, and the remedy for the high prices seems to lie in some sort of a government regulation of price il such cannot be obtained otherwise.

 It is to be expected that others of national reputation and standing. re- gardiess of political alignment. will be selected to make up this important commission. There is every reason for believing that Russia will extend them the welcome that they deserve. This country Is in position to do much for Russia The land of the ex-czar nesde not only financial assistance. but it requires munitions. railroad mater sal end engineering experts. These this country not only has but It is prepared to furnish them to Russia and 1t is the task of this commission to make clear the position of this gov ernment, to arrange the necessary de- tails in connection herewith and to do as much as Russia may desire in the way of advising it's offlcials re- garding the establishment of the new Eopernment on a sound and stable basis. There is every reason to not only hope but believe that the com mission win be successful in its mis- sion

THE coAl SITUATION.

The coal situation has been bad and growing worse for the. past two years. There have been advances granted to the miners. there have been increased transportation charges and there have been other reasons which have entered Into the situation to cause substantial advances in the price of this much needed commodity. Within a few days there have been agreements reached between the producers and miners in the bituminous districts whereby there will be an increase in wages amount ing approximately to SS5,o0o.oDo. In addition to that the anthracite coal miners have asked and received an ad- vancement in their wage scale in or der to take care of the increased cost of living and that runs up to another $s5, ,000. .Oo0, making a total of sT0,ooe.- 0e0 additional which will be required for increased wages for the miners.
 This new wage scale means or course that the outlay must be met by the consumer. Such things are never as- sIiroed by the producer and 1t is in- va-iabiy tho case that where such ad
 vances arc made for wages that the consumer has to pay more than is act ually required to meet the increase. If this wage advance means 40 to 50 cents more a ton for the producer it might be expected that 1t would re- suit in coal being raised just that amount but when such jumps are made 1t furnishes an excellent opportunity to manipulate and present the excuse that there are other expenses which have never been charged up to the con- sumner, and the opportunity of doing so then is never neglected. The result is that the situation is always clouded. No one except those on the inside can ever satisfy himself regarding the sit uation and it is such lack of under standing and certainty which is pay ing the way daily for government su- pervision of this business.

Some Good Advice.


 MT. Editor: I have been reading the many letters written to you and printed for public inspection. for a long time. and don't you think. your heavy? With few exceptions of in- telligent and instructive letters, the space is taken up with letters that take advantage of the offer. by giving whaek at someone who chances to differ in opinion.
 Ten to one, the Cloud Digger and Southerner would sit in the same seat on a trolley car and feel perfectly quainted, or Mrs. T.. of Voluntown might have her runaway horse stop ped by the Cloud Digger and be pro- fuse in her thanks, both being strang- CTS, and yet there appears very often among these writers and others as the readers a splendid chance to look into their characters. dispositions and attitudes of mind. Face to face they would hesitate to say what. being not be fair on paper when it is a public one and for the public and not for a few individuals
 The space, we know. is donated, | free to all and Is privilege that is being abused by few writers who cannot seem to keep out Of it, and when in 1t use their entire vocabu- | lary to abuse instead of use in a prop l CT way. ElIlTlS W0FQS, SnAFp cTtI1C1SfnS ] and unca11ed for sentiments are | fought among entire strangers in a !! space that should be devoted to some ! thing worth while. which am sure is what the space was intended for. ! These people remind me of a "purp" standing on a street corner. watching and waiting for another "purp'' to come 1 along so as to indulge in a scrap. The space should be used for interesting and helpful letters. interesting or in- | structive or occasionally a humorous | letter. Personally, I do not know the | Editor. but I sometimes feel. that he | in reading over the letters that he l would like to cut out the space and devote it to something more profita- i bIe that back-bitinz.
 If a letter appears and a reader does | not happen to agree with the write-. 1 how much good is done by answering | tone, challenging the other writer to 1 square himself? Each is privileged to his own opinion and one can't keep it if 1t is given away. Keep 1t to your i son and common sense. Tn reading public letters. one should be a little i blind, a little deaf and a whole lot 1 dumb
 l I should like to call all the readers ] attention to The Social Corner page in every Saturdays issue of The Bull letin. There are between 500 and 700 1 writers. Harmonious writers. intel iiigent oDes, and helpful ones. The page is without discord. and yet many l and most of them are strangers. Criticism. harsh words and sarcasm are omitted. It Is better so. there, longer. satisfaction reiEns supreme, | and friendship fs clinched. I'll wager the Editor Is more proud of that page than of the page devoted to editorial letters. It is something worth striv- Ing for and nothing to regret.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geesraphie Society.

Lens, the ancient French city of 27 900 inhabitants in the neighberhood of which the English and Canadian troops are now making phenomenal gains In their spring push, Is the subject of the following war geogra- pf1y bulletin issued today by the Ma tional Geographic Society from its headquartres Tn Washington:
 Lens is in the center of one of the richest coal regions of northern Ffai1ce ePas de- Calafs,. ft is surrounded by eoo square miles of coal-heids which prior to the war yielded annually 15.- 900 00e tons of fuel and which gave employment to z5,00o men. Tn laddi- ton to this great industry the city .tself had numerous steel and iron cable naAnufaotories
 "Tne city Is 12 miles north of Ar ras By rail and some IS miles south west of Lille. On the line betwee: Arras and Lens fs the village of Vimy, which gives it's name to the famous ridge over which the contendfng ar- mics havs been fighting for nearly two years.

ina hoe. stirring soil with hand weed4ne fork-and plenty of water are essential in good onion cultivation
 Green onions are grown from the small bulbs. called sets Onions planted in this way will come into bearing rapidly. The usual method of planting sets is to make hole in the sUH with the Anger or q small stick l Inch deep and cover up the bulb with cut pressing the soil on top- For in tensive growing plant the sets an inch and half apart in the rows. If the rows are to be hood they should be at least @ foot apart, but they can be closer together if the cultivation IS to be done with a hand weeder. A quart and a half of sets will plant 100 feet of rows sown thus thickly.
 Late onions are usually grown from seed sown khielliy in 1rilis 12 to .4 inches apart. Do not be alarmed when you read on seed packages that they must Dc sown in drills. for in such cases the drill meant Is not a tool but . shallow trench. For onion seed the drifi should be q Iitt1e less than aIi inch deep. When the plants come ID thin them out to 6 inches apart

MORE SHIPS.

Aside from the need of a substan- tfal increase in it's merchant marine which this country has experienced for long time greater attention has been directed thereto by the part which this country must play in overcoming the efforts of the ruthless submarine warfare of the Germans. There Is to- day a great demand for ships and the quicker they can be obtained the greater will be the power of this country in looking after it's own busi- ness and in rendering assistance to those who are fighting against com- mon enemy.
 From such reports as are given re- gardinG the success of the submarines on the other side of the Atlantic, 1t becomes apparent that regardless of the efforts that are being put forth to combat them, they are steadily. week by week. reducing the shipping g of neutral as well as belisgerent na- tions. This country has experienced no severe losses of late in this respect but there is no telling when it will happen. American vesseis are subject to the same dangers as the others, ex- cept in the case of some which fly neu- tral flags and which go unarmed. but now is the time to make provision for replacing such losses es may occur and at the same time supply the ship ping which can be utilized in carrying supplies to the entente nations.
 Attention has been recently called to the seriousness of the problem which faced Great Britain in obtaining suff- cfent shipping to keep hunger away This country has an opportunity to respond to such q service. A good start has been made but no time can be lost fin putting forth every energy In this direction. The importance of ships, ships. ships growe every day.

PLANT A GARDEN.

The statement can be made and un- doubtedly Is made by individuals, who are so situated that they can do their part better than some others. that they are not going to do anything in the way Of planting 8 garden and aiding in the production of their own crops because they do not think that it will amount to anything. They somehow have got ten the impression that there will be plenty of others who will respond to the situation so that nothing of the kind will be required of them. T'hey believe that the farmers will develop their business since it is their spe- cial I:n2 and that thus the shortage will be provided for. but such view is not ertira!y warranted under the prevailing conditions.
 There can be no question but what the farmers will do all that is possi- bic There will be many who will utilize every available bit of property for increased production. but there are others who will not plant as much as they fcrmery did. not because they are not in sympathy with the movement and do not understand the need, but they are fully acquainted with the help proposition and appreciate the fact that 1t is going to be more difficult to get this year than ever, and on the farm labor is- matter which has got 10 be given confederation.
 But the help proposition does not bother the householder. It is by the interest which he displays In supply ing his own needs that he and millions of others like him contribute the work 9 little at 6 time, which would not otherwise be obtains,ble for raising crops. Every one can do much for himself and for the relief of the gen eral situation. There should be no elackers. By all means plant a gar.

STORIES OF THE WAR
What India Has Done.

Any account of what India has done in the war must include mention of the fact that she has put her mhowra trees at the service of the munitions factories.
 Every traveller in Indfs has seen the mhowra trees, which are plentiful in all parts of the country. Soon after the war began 1t was discovered that the mhowra was the best Source for acetone, which Is the chief ingredient of cordfte. Up to that time acetone was extracted mainly from wood, corn, and starch. In England the British Admiralty erected a great factory to extract acetone from corn.
 Two English scientists in Hydera- bad discovered that the flowers of the mhowra contained acetone in much larger quantities than any other vege- table substance, and large factories were immediately established to sup ply the needs of the munitions plants.
