True Eriendship.

We are all inclined to lean too much
on friendship; to depend not on our
own souls for strength, but on the
strength that comes from other souls.
So the building in process of erection
has many props to support it; but as
1t nears completion prop after prop is
knocked away, and it is secure only
as it rises firmly in its own founda-
ton. No friend can bear our burden
for us; the most he can do is to help
us to bear it well, prompting us to en-
deavor by his sympathy and wisdom.
If we have so used friendship that we
have lost the power to stand alone, we
have misused it.

Remarkable Case Of HeredIty.

A remarkable case of inheritance Of
the abnormal fingers possessed by the
first earl Of Shrewsbury, related by
DR.. II. Drinkwater to the Royal So
ciety Of Medicine, is reported in the
London Lancet. In direct male de-
scendant Of the earl the ring finger
and little fingers of both hands had
only one joint, the first two bones be-
ing united, and all the toes, except
one, were similarly affected This
mans father and paternal grandfather
showed the same abnormality, and
when the body of the first Lord
Shrewsbury was exhumed in 1874 it
was found that his fingers were In a
like condition. AS he died in 1853, this
peculiarly has come down nearly 500
years through ii generations.

Keen Your Fish Dry.

Strange as 1t may seem there Is
nothing In the world that will spoil
dead fish so quickly as water. II your
fishing conditions are such as to pre-
vent your keeping your catch alive,
by all means kill each one as quickly
as caught, and having done so dry it
and keep 1t dry. Remember that a
fish strung through the gills and
thrown oversize Is doomed to a
speedy death by suffocation. If you
must string them use one of the
patent stringers that holds through
the jaw and gives the fish fighting
chance for life. If, however, you can
neither treat your catch in this way
nor turn them loose In a tank, kill
them instantly, wipe them quite dry
and keep them sheltered from the sun.
Fish should not be packed so that
they come in direct contact with ice !;
place sheet of nonabsorbent paper
between. Avoid damp moss or sea-
weed in your creel.

AMERICAN PEOPLE
RESPOND TO GALL
LlBERTYLoAN ovER-sUBScRlBED
MANY SUBSCRIPTIONS COMING
IN TOO LATE.
In the country's. Ringing Answer to
Call for Funds, the Dominant Note
was the Voice of the Small In
weston, Who Responded NobIy

Washington.-Th American people
have responded to the governments
call for funds to finance the war with
an oversubscription to the two billion
dollar liberty loan.
In the country's ringing answer to
the call, the dominant note was the
voice of the small investor. His
money talked the last day of the CAM
paign in eloquent terms. The hope for
a widespread response of the average
man with the average income was
more than realized in the multitudes
that fiocked to the banks on June 10.
Estimates from the twelve reserve
districts indicate that the subscrip-
tons will reach the total of So, 294 ,000,-
600.
Secretary McAdoo announced the
cversubscription shortly after the
closing of the books in the east.
"The Liberty loan has been over
subscribed" he said ut is impos-
sible to state the amount of the over
subscription, but the exact figures will
be given out as rapidly as the returns
are received at the treasury depart
ment.
Thousands of subscriptions came
too late to the federal reserve banks.
These, by Secretary McAdoo's instruc-
lions, will be tabulated separately and
the total forwarded to Washington.
Just what disposition Will be made of
them has yet to be determined. 1t is
possible that where it can be shown
that their failure to reach the reserve
bank in time was due to no fault of
the subscriber or the forwarding bank
some of them may be accented.
Whether the subscriptions are al
lowed or not, it is felt that they mani
fest the willingness of the subscribers
to answer the governments call ard
should be shown in the total of what
the American people offered to take.

Would Have Doctors Exempted.

Many members of the medical pro-
fession are indignant at the fact that
medical students have not been ex-
empted from military service under the
compulsory service bill, although theo-
logical students have been exempted.
The need for supply of physicians, OF
course, will be increased by the war,
which will take many of them to the
front. Keeping enough doctors at home
to take care of the civil population Is
one of the perplexing questions faced
by the council of national defense.
Also, the number of students in this
country has been reduced in recent
years by the strict standards imposed
upon schools, which has put many OF
them out of business and increased the
length of time required for a physi-
clan to qualify for practice.

GERMANY OFFERS
PEACE TO RUSSIA
SEPARATE PEACE PROPOSAL
COMES THROUGH MEMBER OF
SWISS FEDERAL COUNCIL.
Council of Workmen and Soldiers
Delegates Adopt Proclamation OPP
posing Separte Settlement of
Difficulty with Teutons.
(Copyright.)

Stockholm.-1'he Social Demokraten
says Germany has made an offer of
peace to Russia through a member of
the Swiss federal council.
The Demokraten publishes the
translation of telegram said to have
been sent in cipher from the political
department of the Swiss federal coun-
ell to e. Adler, the Swiss minister at
Petrograd. 1t is dated at Berne, June
5, and says:
Hoffman, member of the federal
council, authorizes you to make to
Grimm the following oral communlca-
ton:
"'Germany will not undertake an
offensive so long as an arrangement
with Russia seems possible. After
conversations with an important per-
sonage / am convinced that Germany
aims at peace with Russia honorable
to both parties, with intimate econo-
mic and commercial relations and
financial support to place Russia again
on her feet. No interference in the
domestic affairs of Russia. An entente
cordiale on Poland, Lithuania and
Courland in view of the relationship
between the peoples. Restitution of
the occupied provinces, and Russia, on
the other hand, to give back to Aus
tria the provinces which she has been
able to take"
A Petrograd dispatch says stirring
proclamation placing the council of
workmen and soldiers delegates on
record as irrevocably opposed to a
separate peace was adopted by the
council Saturday. The proclamation
was promoted by Austrian efforts to
lure Russia into separate peace, and
eXhorts Russians ito rally around the
banner of revolution and increase the
energy OF the military power for the
defense of freedom"
The proclamation cites the receipt
of wireless telegram from Prince
Leopold of Bavaria, commander of the
German armies on the Russian front,
asserting that the central powers are
ready to conclude peace with Russia,
and asking Russia to send delegates
TO confer with them. The reply of
the council is Il declaration of its ut
titude and Minister of War Kerensky
has caused ii to be sent to all troops
on land and sea. and 1t has been wide
~ circulated throughout the country.

SAYS AMERICANS
ARE BEING GOUGED
FIFTY MILLIONS A MONTH TOLL
PAID TO SPECTATORS,
DECLARES HOOVER.
Accepts Call to Explain Food Bill and
Makes Powerful Speech Favoring
Legislation to Control Prices
of Necessaries of Life.

Washlngton.-FOod spectators have
been taking $50,000,000 a month for
the last five months-a total of a
quarter of billion dollars-from the
American people, Herbert C. Hoover
told senators on June 10, in explaining
the purpose of the food-control bill
now before congress.
Mr.. Hoover, who is President Will
sens food administrator, went to the
capitol Tuesday by invitation to ex-
plain personally to senators the gov
ernment's food-control bill under con-
ideration in both houses of congress-
1.-The real question:" he said, in a
prepared statement preliminary to
senatorial questioning, sis whether the
shortage will continue next year and
what will be the needs of the allies
and America. Despite the reduced
consumption of the allies, they will re-
quire larger amounts of cereals next
year than ever before. The allies are
more isolated in food sources. 1t
takes three times the tonnage and
double the trouble to get Australian
wheat. Crop failures in the Argentine
fore next spring.
1.-THE allies are dependent upon
North America for the vast majority
of their food imports. We should be
able to supply 60 per cent of the
wheat they require. The other 40 per
cent must be made up by further de-
NAL on their part and saving on ours.
We can increase our surplus. The stu
alton for them next year means in
creased privation. Without an ade-
Quate food supply no European popu-
lation will continue to fight and we
shall find ourselves alone against Ger
many.
1.-THE Russian revolution was a food
riot and even yet that ally Is temper
arily paralyzed. Responsibility rests
on our government for failure of de-
mocracy through shortage of food"
Turning to domestic conditions, Mr..
Hoover said this country had been ex-
periencing unprecedented prices and
rampant speculation" citing how mid
dlemen and all other persons in the
distribution processes have been pur-
chasing increasing supplies to avert
individual shortages.
Mr.. Hoover cited the canning trade
as an example, where the entire out
put of vegetables and fish for 1917 has
been disposed of already before it has
even reached the Gamers. He pre-
dicted further high prices. Thousands
of men, he said, who heretofore have
never owned dollars worth of food
stuffs are now specializing in necessi-
ties.
1.-THE average prices to the consum-
ers in countries where food admins
tration is now in effect are lower than
those now prevailing in the United
States" he said. SIN England the
price of bread is even 25 per cent be-
low the price we pay. believe that
unless some administration of our food
is taken we will look back at these
prices as being moderate"

ATTEMPT TO RETAkE SERBIA.
British Give Up Numerous Villages on
Eastern Wing Which They Had
Burned, But Hold Tightly
to River Positions.

London.-The masslng of entente
troops in Thessaly seemingly Is an in
dication that biz events are in the
making in the Macedonian theatre in
an attempt to retake Serbia, or at
least that portion of 1t as far as Nish,
through which runs the famous Ber-
n-Constantinople railway.
No impeachment Is being placed in
the way of the troops that have been
landed In Thessaly, and with the de-
parture of former King Constantine
from the country the people are de-
ciared to have become more friendly
to the entente allied cause by placing
their adherence in the provisional gov
eminent of II. Venlzelos.
Although on the eastern wing the
British have given up numerous VII
lagos, which they previously burned,
they are holding tightly to the bridge
hend position on the left bank Of the
River Struma in the Lake Tahinos-
Butkoya sector, northeast of Saloniki.
That the retirement OF the British was
voluntary is indicated by the Bulgar-
ian official report dealing with the
the maneuver, which does not mention
any fighting as having taken place.
There has, however, already been some
actiyity on the part of the British in
the Vardar-Leke Dorian sector, but
Sofia reports that the attempt made by
them to advance near Dautli was re-
pulsed
To the east of Arras on the front
in France the British troops have
been compelled to fall back from adj
vanced positions before an attack de-
livered by the Germans, which was
covered by heavy bombardment. 9th
erwise there has been no fighting any
where in France or Belgium, except by
raiding parties and by the artillery
wings of the opposing forces.
In the Austro-Italian theatre the
first fighting for more than week on
the Carso plateau, where recently the
Italians attempted to break through
toward Triest is chronicled by Rome.
Northeast of Jumiano the Italians in
an attack have been able to advance
and straighten out their line. In the
Trentino zone Austrian attacks against
italian positions on the Asiago plateau
and in the Vodice district were re-
pulsed.
Again japanese torpedo boat de-
str0yers in the Mediterranean have
been in combat with an enemy subma-
rine. According to the Japanese naval
attache in London, the underwater
boat probably was sunk.

BERMUDA IN FOOD CRUSADE
Government Of Island Colony Urges
Farmers Not to Rely Further on
Imported Supplies

United States Consul Carl R. Loop,
at Hamilton, says The department
of agriculture of Bermuda has issued
leaflet for general distribution
throughout the colony, urging on the
farmers the necessity Of growing larger
quantities of food for home consump-
ton. 1t says in part:
1.-THE government is most anxious
that farmers and others realize the
Importance under present conditions of
Increasing local food supplies. The
high prices Of imported foodstuffs,
which are likely to be still further in
creased in the future, add very great
ly to the cost of living, and at the
present time 1t is a patriotic duty for
all to do their utmost to insure the
practice of economy in every depart
ment of life.
Heretofore the farmers of the col
ony have depended too much on i'm
ported and too little on homegrown
foods. The present aim Of every farm
er should be to produce as much food
for his family and live stock as he can
grow with economy, and to have sur
plus to sell. By so doing he can great
ly reduce his own cost Of living and
at the same time lessen the colony's de-
pendence on imported foods. The high
cost of imported foodstuffs should In
crease the demand for local grown
foods, and a market would seem to
be assured especially for potatoes,
both Irish and sweet, and pigs"
