DUEL IS RESORTED TO.

Paris, KY, July 1.-Two young
men of Paris, whose names are with
held for obvious reasons and neith-
err of whom has reached his MAORI
ty, are enamored of a prominent
young society woman of this CITY,
She seemed to bestow her affections
about equally between the two.
The other morning the two young
men mutually decided to settle the
matter on the field of honor by a
duel, and obtaining an automobile
and accompanied by seconds pre-
pared amply to give first aid to the
injured, they repaired to secluded
spot in the country. In the action
which followed one of the young
men received a stab wound in the
back, while his opponent escaped un
harmed
The seconds declared the affair
off, and the injured youth was
brought to town for medical assist
ance. His wound was found to be
slight.

FIGHTING THE HUN
OVER LONDON.

Sergeant Pilot Lamb, who fought
the Hun in his airplane, says in the
July Farm and Fireside:
II was puzzled by not hearing any
shots from Low, and as l put pres
sure on the left rudder bar to turn
off, glanced back at him. Dave
had "gone west He was lying
back, with his head and chest rid
died, kept in his seat by the wind
pressure. At the same moment
felt fierce pain in my right foot as
it was yanked off the bar.
"As l had already begun to press
on the left rudder bar in order to
turn to get clear of the Gotha, when
my right foot was jerked off the
right rudder bar my left foot pressed
spasmodically on the left, and with
my ailerons banked over for the
turn l naturally went into a spin.
II was suffering intense pain, but
my head was fairly clear. / saw
several of the Huns start after me
and return to their formation, evil
IDENTIFY convinced that was done
for. Keeping my head as best
could, throttled down the engine,
and when l was well below 10000
feet l Strengthened out of the spin.
81 saw a mass of woods and, close
by, an aerodrome. l didn't know it
at the time, for l was rapidly becom-
ing what we used to call in the
States WOODY but the woods were
Heinault Forest, and the aerodrome
was Heinault Farm, one of the land
ing stations in the air-defense sys-
ten.

began to get faint. My foot WAS IN
a pool of blood, and felt sure my
whole leg had been shot away. The

chine close by with a crowd standing
around it,"

FARMHAND's s2S EQUALS
CITY MANS $50.

Those who have been thinking the
farmland has been underpaid should
compare his wages with what the
city man is paid An editorial in
the July Farm and Fireside says:
"The farmland comes In for con-
siderable discussion nowadays, but
he is much better off than most peo-
pie think. The Ohio State Council
of Defense has been making a sur
vey of labor conditions, and reports
that a married man working on the
farm for $40 a month is as we'll off
as If he were to receive $105 in a
city; that $35 month farm job
equals a s11O city job; that a $40
farm job equals $115 city job, and
SO on. Not taking into considera-
tion,' the report adds, the possibili-
ty of raising some stock or produce
on shares, which is usually custom
ary.'
Nor has the married man on the
farm job a monopoly of advantages,
for the report futher finds that an
unmarried farmland receiving S25
is as we'll off as If he were re civ g
$50 in the city; that assoc job for the
bachelor farmland equals 500 CT
ty job; and that a $40 job on the
farm is as good as a sos job in the
city, and so on. The difference in
aggregate returns is brought about
by house rent, groceries, meat, milk,
light, fuel, unnecessary expenses,
and luxuries.''

NAVY'S ALL RIGHT!

Dear Editor: I'm living easy at
present, for have ample time for eat
ing, sleeping, and last but not least
working. There is no use of any
one getting lonesome, for there are
many things for amusement, but on
ly my brother and myself from our
county in this camp, but many boys
from Kentucky. If every individual
in Ohio could see how we are cared
for here they wouldn't care for in
vesting their money in Liberty Bonds
and giving to Red Cross, also the Y.
NJ. C. A.
I'm nursing both arms at present,
but will be in a good mood in a
few days. The Navy is composed of
men who volunteered, and mostly
of mon from colleges, and have
given up good positions for only
$3.50 per month. There is about
forty thousand men stationed here,
and new ones coming in all the time.

DISSATISFACTION GROWS.

Washington, July 11.-Dissatis-
faction in Germany over the work of
the submarines has not been lessen
ed by the recent optimistic state
ments of Admiral Won Capelle, says
an official dispatch from Switzer-
land. In this connection the Colo
gne Volkaeitung is quoted as fol-
lows:
we hear it said all around us
that the results of the submarine
warfare are becoming less salts
factory every week. Or else that
more submarines are being sunk
than We can construct. This sub
marine warfare is even cursed
doubtless because it has contribut-
ed to bringing into action the re-
doubtable American Intervention.

BIG GUNS
TO SPREAD PROPAGANDA.

Paris, July 13.-Thousands OF
specially devised rifles for sending
propaganda over the enemy lines
now are in use in the allied armies,
according to James Kerney, Director
of the France-American Committee
of Public Information.
From these rifles grenades are dis
charged, by means of which tracts
and pamphlets may be scattered
along enemy trenches with consider
able exactitude at a range Of more
than 200 yards.
! For greater distances small bal
looms, made of cloth, are used.
Each of these lifts 20 pounds of pro-
paganda literature, and by means Of
a mechanical device drops a quarter
pound of these documents at fifteen
minute intervals. The radius of
action of these balloons in a twenty
mile wind would be Hamburg, Ber-
lin, Vienna and Trieste. The bal
looms travel at a heigth of from g.
90 to 5000 feet.
Paper balloons capable of lifting
four pounds also are used by the
American army for the purpose of
distributing literature in trenches
and enemy billets for distances up to
100 miles from the starting point,
the Director said. These balloons
drop a half pound of material at FIVE
minute intervals.
of slow-burning match which is
consumed at the rate of one inch ev-
cry five minutes. The first release
is effected five minutes after start
ing to make sure of compromising
the balloon for the loss of gas.
The latest devices are planned to
employ clock work for their releas
ing mechanism and the use of trench
mortars with a cardboard projectile
containing literature is being con-
sidered I for the future. Airplanes
are used occasionally for this pur-
pose, but there are many objections
to their employment.
The director added that steps now
were under consideration for the use
diffusion of propaganda lines.
Many bits of propaganda already
have been found in the pockets of
German prisoners taken by the
French and Americans. The nature
of the propaganda distributed de-
ponds upon the German UNITS in the
vicinity, the purpose being always
to supply from the various parts of
Germany.
Recent distributions over the
lines have included the disclosures of
Prince Lichnowsky, German Am
bassador at London at the outbreak
of the war; the letters of DR.. Won
Muehlon, former Krupp director;
figures showing the German losses,
and facts about food conditions in
the interior of Germany.

CUT WEEDS BEFORE
SEEDS MATURE.

Many weeds are propagated only
by seeds. Weed seeds are produced
in large numbers along roadsides,
fence rows, and ditch banks, in va
cant fields, and in waste places, and
the seeds are scattered by wind, wat
er, birds, and other agents. By cut
ting the weeds before the seeds are
sufficiently mature to terminate, an
enormous amount of trouble and la
Dor and loss could be avoided; but
only the most progressive farmers do
this.

SILENT TRIBUTE BY THOUS-
ANDS TO LATE MAI. mitchell

New York, July 1.-THE body of
John Purroy Mitchell, in a nag-drap-
ed casket on which rested the cap
which he wore as a major of avia-
ton, was borne through the streets
of New York while tens Of thous-
ands watched in silent tribute.
| New York has seen other military
funerals for heroes of the nation, but
those who witnessed the solemn pro-
cession which escorted the former
mayors body from City Hall to St.
Patricks cathedral felt that none
could have been more impressive.
All along the route stood people
with barred and bowed heads, many
i'm tears.
The bell in the City Hall tolled as
the casket was borne from the ro-
tunda, where il had lain in state
throughout the night, and was plac-
ed on an artillery caisson drawn by
four horses, which conveyed it to the
cathedral and thence to Woodlawn
cemetery.
Thousands in Procession.
City Hall park was dense with
citizens and the prcc ssion of SOL
diers, sailors, policemen, firemen,
Rer Cross nurses, civilians repres-
enting all city departments, distin-
guished men of the city, state, ma
ton, and representatives, of the AL
lies, had some difficulty in forming.
Behind the caisson followed Maj.
Michels horse with boots reversed
in the stirrups and bearing also his
reversed sword. Next came his
widow and relatives in carriages,
followed by the "allbearers. Also
in line were Maj. Mitchel's comrades
in arms aviators with whom he had
trained for service in France. Mill
tary and city dcpar; ment bands fell
in at appropriate intervals. The
dead March From SAUL" Nearer,
My God, to Thee" and other hymns
were the music to which the pro-
cession marched as it made its way
slowly to the Cathedral on Fifth
avenue.
An airplane circled overhead as
the march began, later to be joined
by six others which flew back and
forth over the route, dropping flow
ers. The hum of their motors car
ried to the crowds below a sorrow
full significance FOR it was as an
aviator that Mitchell died.
