RECRUITING IS PICKING UP.

Especially encouraging is the way re-
cruiting has picked UP during the last few
days as a result of publicity. Seven Joined
the army and navy here Tuesday, and
number Of others the day before, refreshing
contrast to the "nothing doing Of the week
before. Applying the logic Of the food sta
tlstlclan, if every newspaper in the land de-
velOped d recruiting drive like The Journal,
there would be fourteen or fifteen thousand
volunteers day instead of 4 thousand.
But that is not our theme. The interest
ipg thing, the important thing. is that the,
slump in recruiting has been due not to
any failure Of Americans to realize their re-
spOnsiblity, but to mere thoughtleSsness.
The matter simply slipped their minds.
j see by the paper said one man here,
that YOU aren't getting any men, so I
came" That's the whole story. After
registration, people put military thoughts
out of their minds entirely. They are too
busy with the Liberty Loan to talk Of any
thing else, When the government wanted
them, they reasoned subc0nsciously, the
government could get them.
But the government wants them now
not in September! 1t wants the enthusi-
astic, and, therefore, the capable to vol
untecr today, that the ones most worthy
may be developed into officers for the huge
army which will be drafted in the fall
Florida is short of her quota, whereas
other states have already attained theirs
a comparison too odious to bear. Forty men
a day must enlist in the army between now
and July ! if Florida is to attain her mill
tary allotment on schedule There are no
figures for the marines and navy. OF the
militia the full quota has not yet been
reached.

SUFFICIENT STIMULATION.

However regrettable calling of the
county fair may be for local reasons, it was
no more than could be expected f., national
cnes. It,is lust one of the many war adj
justments that are going on all over the
country.
Every trainman, every locomotive, every
piece of rolling stock is needed to carry
food, coal, munitions, troops, and transact
the nation necessary business, enormously
augmented; there are no cars left for
amusement companies, and no engines to
haul them, and without such an attraction,
we have too good cause to know that fair
can not be successfully held. Wherefore
the directors adjourned sine die, as. the
saving is.
But this does not mean a setback. Of
the fair, it is the purpose to stimulate pro-
ductlon, and that is amply attended to now
by the high prices and the world food
shortage,

The SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DAsNEY.

Except that he hasn't done any
thing that he wanted, Kaiser Bill has
been fairly successful in this war.
Cattle, is the name of one of the
New York college men who defied the
draft, and he has learned to his hor-
ror that Uncle Sam can't be "bulled-"
Hoover says that greater care must
be taken to preserve the fats, but he
is not the first to discover the glory
that was Greece.
Announcement that the German
food crops are burning up in
drought proves that the Copenhagen
liar is still in excellent health.
The number of men over 81 who
swore they were younger in order to
be eligible for draft more than COM
pensates for the pitiful slackers.
We take this means of informing
the Tampa Times that it is guilty of
lese-majeste in inquiring why Cats
appointed a Jackson county man to
be sheriff of Duval county.
Charlie Chaplin has enlisted, and
it is question now whether the
Kaiser will get a pie in the face or
brick on the bean.
We note from the papers that
people are very willing to brag on
their gardens and tell exactly where
they are; but the hen roosts are still
hidden behind an impenetrable veil
of secrecy.
Speaking of war referendums,
three million people notwithstanding
the Liberty Loan by a billion dollars,
is enough to convince even the emer-
gency Quakers that this country
wants war.
If the food pirate who operates the
peanut stand on the corner doesn't
put r>ore political fruit in his sacks,
we give fair warning that we will
exert our influence to the utmost that
an excess profits law be passed for
his benefit.

OF RECEIPTS TO TROOPS
FIVE PERCENT OF GROSS IN
COME WILL GO TO
COMPANY e.

Realizing that every man should do
his best in the present national emer
gency, in the way of contributing money
to the aid of soldiers, either directly,
or through the army and navy Y. M.
c. A., or the Red Cross, Doe Denny,
popular Grangeville business man, will
beginning January |, donate 5 percent
of the gross receipts of his business to
Company f. the Grangeville company
now in France.
Out of every dollar that Doc DENIM
takes in during the month of January,
the boys of Company f will receive S
cents. Accounts will be kept every day,
and the money will be available for
the company, either at the end of the
month, or on both the 18th and the 3lst.
During February, Doe will donate 5
percent OF the gross receipts of his bust
ness to the Red Cross, and in March
one-twentieth of his receipts will be
given to the army and navy Y. M. c.. A.
The thought of making donations in
this way is original with Doc. He feels
that all should do their best toward max
ing life for the boys cover there, a
little more pleasast, and he believes
that any sacrifice we may make here
will be well repaid by the satisfaction
we will derive from knowing our money
has been spent to make happy those who
are about to bear the brunt Of the fight
ing on the western front.

The Battle.

The Battle.
It was now three o'clock in the
morning. In about half an hour the
men, naturally grumbling and protest
ing at being deprived Of any Of their
sleep, were out and at work. Lanterns
were lighted everywhere. The rain
had fortunately not resumed, and the
air was soon filled with noise and con-
fusion. Men with axes were busy on
the hillside hillside cutting the the s plies:
Horses were hitched to the dump wag-
ons, the steam shovel began tearing
away the hillside. Some of the men
were detailed to knock down some
of the galvanized iron houses and the
battering of the hammers on the metal
added to the din.
Under Vandeventer's personal direc-
ton a row of stakes was driven into
the top of the dam about three feet
from the front Of it. Big sheets Of
overlapping galvanized iron were
nailed roughly to the fronts Of the
firmly bedded stakes and the small
branches and brushwood were thrown
down before it. Bowlders and big
stones were carried out on the dam in
the wagons and thrown down on the
brushwood; spare timbers, broken
wagon beds, old wheels, 1oists Of dis
membered houses were driven into the

end threw themselves against the pail,
SADIE, wet and chilled from the rain,
but yet madly, recklessly, Americans
and foreigners alike. They would hold
it by main strength for another min
ute, they swore, oblivious to the fact
that just as soon as it went 1t would
go with rush.
The stockade would be swept away
first, and they would 60 with it. What
Of that? The men back of It matched
their brawny arms against rain and
wind, the powers Of man against the
powers of God, but not mockingly. It
is perhaps doubtful If they realized
what they did. It was instinct, habit,
blind desperation now. If the f1imsy
wall failed under the terrific water
pressure, they would be hurled beneath
it, swept down the slope Of the dam.
buried in the debris as it was swept
away, caught up If they by any chance
survived so fur, and hurled, broken and
battered, down the valley In the ter
rible flood that would ensue. What
did they know about that, or knowing,
what did they care, as they strained
ut the wavering timber wall? And
still they held as the rain poured down
on them, soaking through their soggy
clothes, the colder on their exhausted
bodies for the keen wind that blew
across them.
Well, they had done everything they
could. Vandeventer jumped down and
pressed himself against the nearest
timber with the men and waited, silent.
He had never sustained such pres
sure in all his life. Like Atlas, he
felt as If he were holding up world.
And the mocIing thing about it all
was his feeling, nay his realization,
that he was not really holding any
thing, that If the palisades failed his
pressure, his resistance and that of, all
the other men amounted to nothing.
Yet he held on, and they, too-dclri-
gods.

From the top Of the bSe mesa there

from the dam on one side far back into
the hills on the other. In spite OF
the tremendous downpour and tho
fierce gale Helen Illingworth stood ex-

nature and man Of which she was q

sort II insanity took possession a
them. They would not be beaten. They
cried, at first shrilly and then hoarsely
and raucously, encouraging words and
phrases from one to another; in words
vivid, profane, desperate. They stood
there and they heaved and dug and
piled and hammered and hurled and
drove fiercely. It was battle mad
ness that came into them. They saw
red like the berserker of old. Yes, It
was not unlike battle in other ways,
for with the rush Of the northwest
storm came roaring mighty thunder
and vivid and terrifying lightning. 1t

no results. A careful study of Rod
ney's notes upon the subject had only
served the more thoroughly to convince
them that Meade was blameless. But
the most assiduous effort with the
heartiest will in the world and the
promptings Of devotion and affection
could not make q case out OF these
suggestions and their differences that
would hold water. They could not es-
tablish their contention beyond perad-
venture in the face Of Meade's direct
admission and Shurtliff's corrobora-
ton. They could not establish it in the
public mind by any evidence at all II
Meade and Shurtliff remained silent.
If either one or the other Of the two
conspirators could be brought to tell
the truth, Meade could be restored, at
least sufficiently so for the purpose OF
argument; the argument that Helen
Ilingworth sooner or later must make
to her father. It was that to which she
gave the most thought, it was for that
she planned and longed.
Two people cannot resolve, even BY
mutual consent to dismiss from their
daily thought and conversation any
subject whatsoever without introduce
ing in place of it a certain constraint.
It is as futile to attempt to dismiss
anything absolutely from the human
mind as is the oft-suggested cure for
rheumatism - doing certain things
without thinking Of the disease sought
to be cured!
