HIS CHUM BY RADIO
Story ExempIifies Traditionary Sea
Caution on American Destroyer.

Queenstown. - American naval off
GERS are highly amused over a recen
wireless romance connected with al
American destroyer. The story wei
exemplifies traditional sea caution ant
hangs on the fact that by reason O
two Americans having been roommate
at st. Johns college at Annapolis year!
ago information was confirmed at seq
that otherwise would have remained
doubtful.
One man is civilian doctor, who has
taken an important post in Great Brit
ain; the other is paymaster in the
navy. Two days before the destroy
ers sailed from the United States these
old friends ate farewell dinner. The
doctor was to sail by liner, but was
ignorant Of the ships name and date
of sailing. The paymaster was under
orders to join his destroyer.
When several days at sea the de-
stroyer got into distant connection one
night with a certain vessel and made
a code inquiry as to the vessels posi-
ton, course and speed. No direct re-
ply was made, the vessel fearing SUBJ
marine trick and the possibility Of Il
ST. Il code book. Instead Of answer
ing demand was made to the destroy
er, Give the name of your ship in
CODE" The destroyer complied.
Even this was nobenough. A second
wireless was sent out, What is the
name Of your paymaster, who is the
friend of DR.. -, a passenger aboard
this ship"
Then the paymaster Of the destroyer
was called into the wireless cabin and
asked If he knew DR.. -. "Surew he
replied. "He was my best pal. We
were roommates at college and had
dinner together two nights before I
sailed. Where is hep

Time to Wean Lambs.

Lambs should be weaned at from
four to five months Of age, depending
somewhat on the condition Of the ewes
and the size of the lambs. Where they
are large and growthy and the ewes
thin the lambs may be weaned earlier
in order that the ewes may be put in
better condition before breeding. Where
the lambs are small and the ewes in
good condition, however. they may be
allowed to run together longer. The
lambs should be well fed at weaving
time to avoid setbacks.

WAR LESSONS FOR U. S.

Chief Ono to Learn Is to Place Com
petent Men In Leadership.
Cincinnati.-War lessons the United
States can learn Of Great Britain were
explained by William Hard, investiga-
tor and magazine writer, before the
joint sessions of the American Society
Of Mechanical Engineers and the Ma
tional Machine Tool Builders associa-
ton in convention here recently.
The chief lesson, Mr.. Hard said,
would be to invest seamen with the con-
troll Of the navy. No civilian, he said,
should be intrusted with so important
a duty. Affairs Of the army and navy
in action should be given into the hands
Of competent" army and navy men,
Mr.. Hard said.

WHAT is LOVE?

A New Orleans paper recently
started an argument. This journal
puts the suestion, "What is Love"
Surprising, but 23,761 individuals
confessed to the belief that they
had experimental enough to give a
definition. There were nine prize
winners, and six of them were wo-
men. Here is what some of them
say:
l. Love is a doorway through
which the human soul passes from
selfshness into service, and from
solitude into kinship with all human
ity.-Mrs. Anderson Haley, Mobile,
Ala.
2. Love is chisel that carvc>
into soft outlines that granite block
of stern reality. = Mrs. W. P.
0'Toole, New Orleans, La.
3. Love is what makes red hair
golden white hair silver, and no hair
a noble brown.-Mrs. Albert God
chaux, New Orleans, La.
4. Love is the gentle art Of be-
ing vrey miserable in q perfectly
happy fashion. II. c. Belcourt,
La.
5. Loves ike well, and deep
one;
A fact you have noticed, no doubt.
It's easy enough to fall into,
But hard as the deuce to get out.

TAX ON MAIL ORDER HOUSES

1t may not be generally known at
least, we do not recall having seen
it mentioned, that q bill was intro
duced in Congress several months
ago proposing to place tax on
mail order houses. The bill was in
troduced by Edward c. Browne, of
Wisconsin.
The Browne bill provides that the
amount of the tax shall be ascer-
tanned by the Secretary of the
Treasury who &hall compel the mail
order houses to report the gross
amount of goods sold by them in
each state. The tax collected by
the government in this manner is to
be apportioned to the respective
states in the ratio of the actual
amount of goods sold in each state.
Congressman Browne points out
to his colleagues in Congress that
provision in the pending revenue
bill taxing such institutions would
not only be just but a popular
measure. Almost every business
has been taxed heavily to raise
funds to meet the tremendous ex-
penditures of the government. Then
why exempt the mail order houses,
he asks; why not make them stand
their share of this tax burden7

the mail order business, and their

PERTINENT TO FARMERS

Every hour seems to draw this
country nearer to war. No man ca,.
assure us that we will escape, for
no man knows.
The year 1917 may see us shu;
off from all source Of supplies from
the outer world, and dependent en-
tirely upon local production.
Facing such a possibility, it is
incumbent upon every farmer to
cultivate to the limit of his acreage
and ability, and the town person
who has vacant lot should do the
same.
The time to begin is NOW. II
We place armies in the field those
armies must be fed-and the prod
ucts come from the farms.

THE GOOD HOUSEWIFE

Employing all the shining hours
In true domestic art,
And using all her given powers
To do her chosen part.
She sweeps and dusts and cooks
and bakes,
Without minutes waste,
Achieving all that living makes,
Just to her dear ones taste.
In habits and in person neat;
In disposition kind,
Her voice, soft, tender, low and
sweet,
Bespeaks a balaced mind.
Her children, bright, polite and
clean,
And trained in wisdom's ways,
Are sure to loathe what's false and
mean
In all their mortal days.
And she creates the air of home,
The heartstone's blessed light;
And wheresoe'er her loved ones
roam
Her counsels guide them right.
IT'S heavenlike where she abides,
The faithful, true housewife;
And when she pilots, safely glides
Along the bark of life.
