AIM TO GIVE THE BEST

(By Helen Worthington.)

Service, The act of serving,
Zach of us has to perform service
of enc sort or another, continually,
as we jurney through life.
Whether we are employees, or en-
ployers-in the home, or whatsoever
cur contact with others-the idea of
service enters.
We cannot get away from it,
But what kind of service do we
render?
Our success. progress. peace of
mind. even our future happiness, de-
lpends entirely upon the character Of
service given.
4 colored porter in one of Jack
sons barber shops has the proper at

not only KNOWS what it means, but
he aims to give the BEST!
And naturally he is getting results
the kind that bring rewards.

TRICK WAS COSTLY TO HIM
Conjurer Who "Found" Coins on Street Car Floor Forced by Con-
 ductor to Turn Over Money.

A conjurer performing at a local theater got on a street car with two members of his company, and after while, moved by some sudden impulse, he pretended to find sundry quarters, stopping here and there, and producing them from under the seats, on the floor anywhere, to the amaZement of the passengers, says the Toronto Mail.
 His two friends laughed heartily at the joke. Not so, however, the conduc- tor, who came forward and sternly de- handed the twelve 25-cent pieces he had picked up," in order that he might hand them over in accordance with the regulations governing lost property found in the cars.
 In vain did the finder" protest that it was only a conjuring trick. The conductor obviously did not believe him. And in the end, in order to avoid a compulsory visit to the police station, he had to give up the coins.

Told Truth for 146 Years.

On Lincoln's birthday,'an aged man was brought into the jail at Butte, Mont. for drunkenness. When he proved that he had voted and fought for Lincoln, Jailer Lavell sent him home in a taxicab. Word of this got around town, and on Washington's s birthday a drunk" announced that he had voted for Washington.
 "You must be a pretty old man, the jailer said.
 Past eighty" ventured the drunk.
 You'll have to come again." de- clared the jailer.
 q didn't say how much past eighty, ' cautiously replied the alleged drunk ard.
 "What's Washington famous for?'' asked Lavell, as he continued his work of writing the mans name down on the blOtter.
 "He never told a lie" promptly an swered the old fellow.
 "And I suppose you are following his example?"
 You bet your life" said the drunk ard.
 Bring this fellow to jail and we'll charge him with lying instructed the jailer to one of his assistants.-Butte Post.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Purchase All Supplies Needed by the Allied Countries.

WaShington.-Crea of a central purchasing committee in Washington for all supplies bought in the United States for the allied governments was forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever, financial expert of the British war mission. The committee will supplant J. P. Morgan X Go.
 Isscussing the world financial situa- tion, the British expert expressed the opinion that Germany will be practical ly bankrupt in the credit markets after the war.
 "Our enemies" he said. flor all their boasted efficiency, have never had the courage to face their financial prob lens, with the result that when the war is over they will be hard put to it."
 The Teutonic governments having pyramided one internal loan upon an- other he explained, their interest charges would be so great that he be- leved they would either have to repu- diate a large part of their debt or face inability to buy the enormous quanti- ties of material they would need for reconstruction.
 The allies, he added, had paid their way in the war "by the straightfor- ward and natural means, by pouring out their gold, by selling enormous masses of American securities, by rais- ing loans." AS a result, he predicted that the end of the war would find the allies in good shape financially, despite their enormous permanent debts.

SULPHUR FROM SHELTER GAS
Methods of Handling Fumes Proposed by University Professor Regard
 ed as Most Important.

In regard to getting the sulphur fumes out of shelter gas, Prof. S. w. Young of the Leland Stanford univer- sity lately presented to the American Institute of Chemical Engineers d pa per on proposed methods whereby the result of the process is crude sulphur. This would, indeed, be godSend. When copper and other ores are smelt- ed they must also be roasted to get the sulphur away from the metal. This is easy enough to do, but the fumes that escape into the air are the fumes of sulphurous acid and if there is anything that disposes a farmer to carry pitchfork and doSble-barreled shotgun along with him when he goes to make his protest it is these very SulphurouS fumes in the air. In fact, in some states the laws now forbid the liberation of the gases of burning sul- phur in nearly every activity except that of volcanoes. Volcanoes are eX- empt.
 It is possible to collect this sulphur Ous gas and make sulphuric acid out of it, but some plants are so located that transportation costs forbid. Sul- phur, on the other hand may be stored out of doors so long as desired and sold whenever there is a good price available for it.
 Two methods are known, a wet one and dry one, but both depend upon the tendency of sulphur to get out of combination with oxygen in the pres ence of certain other bodies. Vast quantities are likely to be thus pro- duced.-EllwOod Hendrick.

There was a time in the country's history when military enumerators, becked by bayonets, went out among the people to take a compulsory serv- ice census. Today, under the principle of universal liability to service, the ex- ecution of the law is put into the hands of the people.
 The approval of the new national army bill and the presidents proclama- ton hereunder have been coincident. All persons within the age limits pre- scribed are required to present them selves for registration at the customary voting places in the voting precincts in which they have their permanent homes. on a day which the president will announce.
 The governor of each state is the chief of registration therein. The ma chinery of registration in each county is in charge of the sheriff. the county clerk, and the county physician, act ing eX offiCio, unless different board shall be announced by the governor. In cities containing populations of more than 30,000, the registration will be under the control of the mayor and se- lected boards of registration. In order that the disignated county and city officials, and the people generally, can get clear understanding of the cen sus methods the following brief out line is given:
 The sheriffs, or other designated offi- cials, immediately upon receiving no- tice from the governor, shall appoint registrars for each voting precinct.
