Ways OF SUMMER BOARDERS
They Are Usually Very Witty Persons
Who Make Comical Remarks to
the Farmer.

Summer boarders are people who
spend several weeks in the country
each summer longing for trip home.
They are usually very witty persons
and make comical remarks TO the farm
er. Aside from the board they pay
him the farmer cleans up tidy sum
each summer by sending the things his
hoarders say to the comic weeklieS. A
summer bOarder can merely look at
COW and quick as wink he will say
something funny. The farmer puts
this down in book he always carries
around with him. In the course OF
couple of weeks he has several pages
Of good jokes to sell at his own rates,
says the Philadelphia Star.
If you board with farmer this sum-
mer say some funny things TO him
about the cows or the pigs. If he
keeps q horse always poke fun at his
horse. He will laugh at the funny
things you say. Then he will go in and
open ND can of fresh country peas
out of his own cellar so that when you
go back 10 the city you will miss the
country vegetables. When you leave
he sure and tell him how you enjoyed
the country eating so that he can laugh
some more.

Ljuhts on Life Buoys.

Submarine warfare has resulted in
numerous improvements in life pre-
servers and life buoys. The passengers
OIL any ship that sails the Atlantic to-
DAY are likely to find themselves bob
hing about in the icy waters with no
support but cork jacket.
Some time ago number of sailors
on torpedoed ship saved their lives
III night by signaling TO the rescuers
with little electric flash lamps. This
principle has now been Incorporated
into the latest life buoy by an attach
ment which carries electric flash lamps

burn steadily as soon as the buoy hits
the water. and serve to indicate the

How Animals Feed.

The squirrel carries its food in its
mouth by means of its paws, while the
elephant uses its trunk. The giraffe,
anteater aud toad employ their
tongues, bur spiders masticate their
food with horny jaws.
The caterpillar is provided with saw
edged Jaws and uses them so well that
every day he consumes at least three
times his own weight in food Toads,
turtles and tortoises do not possess
teeth.
Frogs have only an upper row OF
teeth, and Holsters and crabs have set
of teeth in their stomachS. The tiger
and lion do not grind their food; as
a matter of fact, their teeth only work
with an up-and-down movement, much
like chOpping knives.-Minneapolls

Army officers believe now that young
America has given over the idea that
the new national army is TO be looked
on as a conscript army after the man
ner in which drafted men of the past
were viewed by the general public. IL
the decrease in the numbers OF men
anplying for service in the regular
army is due TO the fact that no longer
is consumption regarded as once 1t
was. the army officials Will be not only
satisfied but grateful.
Recruiting for the regular army, IL
is believed here, was quickened at the
first by the belief of the applicants
that they would see first service In
France. Now there seems TO be feel
;no that the regiments which first were
hrought I'D TO war strength will be the
first to go and that the regiments
which are 10 be filled by the recruits
of this and next month will not get TO
The front much more quickly than men

Army men say that there never was
such an army in personnel as that
which the country Will have when The

STIMULATE NAVAL
STORES MARKE~

Washington, D. c., Sept IL
Means of broadening and stimulating
the naval stores market was discussed
at a conference of producers from
the southern states and south At
lantic and Gulf states senators here
today.
Producers declared that the prices
for naval stores are much below the
cost of production due to decreased
demand growing out of the fact that
their foreign markets have been
practically cut off because of the war.
while in this country the use of their
products have been much reduced ow-
ing to the use of many substitutes.
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, who pre-
sided, said that the conference was
held purely for the purpose of dis
cussing the situation and that some
legislation might be proposed later.

But it was made clear that these
simple declarations will not be

principle. Readjustment of conditions
bearing on the situation must be ex-

SWEDISH FOREIGN OFFICE
ISSUES A STATEMENT

London. Sept. 1.-The Swedish
foreign office, according to dispatch
from Copenhagen to the Exchange
Telegraph Company, has issued the
following statement regarding the
Swedish-Argentine revelations:
"The Swedish foreign office has not
received any account regarding the
transmission of the kilograms men
toned in the statement of the gov
eminent of the United States and
the Swedish government therefore Is
unable at present to determine what
its position should be on the questions
opened up by these statements
"It is. however, accurate to say
that Just after the world war broke
out the Swedish foreign minister eN-
pressed the opinion that he ought to
transmit a German telegram concern
ing the civil population of Kiao Chow
(the former German fortress IN the
Chinese peninsula of Shantung.)"
'Statements to the same effect
were made to the representatives of
both belligerent groups without there
being any question of Sweden TAX
ing over representation of any pow
ers' interests.
GAS regards the United States. in
particular, the United States minister
here has this year in certain speciai
cases demanded and obtained permis-
sion to transmit letters to and from
Turkey and at time when Turkey
was not in a state of war with Amer
lea and when Sweden had not yet
taken over the protection of Amer

NEGRO SOLDIERS HAD
PLANNED RIOT AND
BLO0DSHED, ALLEGED
RY ASSOCIATED rREss.

Houston. Texas, Sept. IL Negro
soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infan-
try planned the riot and bloodshed
among white residents of Houston
two days before the deadly outbreak
which cost the lives of fifteen citizens,
according to the report of the civilian
board of inquiry. The report criti-
clses the superintendent of police for
his inability to maintain discipline
among policemen. The riot was un-
doubtedly precipitated by the two ar
rests made by police, thus Fastening
and intensifying serious disturbance,
as previously intended.
The report adds: "The undisputed
and convincing testimony of witnesses
to prove the negro soldiers went forth
to slay the whites indiscriminately:
no negroes were to be hurt by SOL
diers. Negroes were warned to stav
off the streets during riot.
When the negro troops first came
to Houston they manifested feeling
of hostility in defiance of the state
law requiring the separating Of two
races in the street cars; that the
negro soldiers on guard duty at Camp
Logan was insulting toward white
laborers and cursed and abused labor
ers on the slightest pretense; that
discipline at the camp was grossly
lax permitting lewd negro women to
visit the camp and remain there all
night. Some of these women were
permitted to bring parcels containing
whiskey into the camp, thus keeping
the soldiers literally supplied with
intoxicants.

OFFICIALS AT WASHINGTON
BY ASSOCIATED FREss.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Whether
Russia faces anarchy and reign of
terror as a fruit of General Korniloff' S
revolt against Premier keresnky's :
provisional government, depends
largely, officials here believe, on the
speed which the situation develops.
If the deposed commander-in-chie
as reported is marching on Petro-
grad, with troops who are personally
loyal, it makes spectacular show of
strength to others who may follow
him and pave the way for a powerful
dictatorship.
Those interested in Russia's safety
will be satisfied with either Keren-
sky or korniloff, rather than see the
internal conflict turn into civil war
and Russians kill Russians. This,
observers say, might lead to a sep
arate peace with Germany or res
toration of the monarchy with an in
evitable train of evil consequences.
