AUvERGNE GOES OVER THE TOP
(Contributed.)

Down in the little farming com munity of Auvergne there are nc slackers. In fact, no one could be found who had seen one. To be sure they had heard that there was such <sn animal in existence but if one ever gets into Auvergne he will come in circus cage for exhibition pur- Eoses. And there isn't any l.alf pa tiiots, mill-dewed patriots or frost bitten patriots there either. They only specialize in one brand Gcwn there and that is the simon pure, eig eighueen carat, honest-to-God kind < and every one bears the trade mark Made in America" Those patriots know what patriotism is, too, don't you forget it. It just comes out of them like syrup out of sor' 'y2n cane, aild it is s4 brand of pat . that Is just as sweet, good ane siesome, tAc only difference being that you don't have to crush it out, it just o< zes out from every pore.
 We'll, now you would expect that in Much community of patriots, they would do things up in brown style with all the frills and trimmings. You are right, friend, if you leave off the frills and trimmings. Those Auvergners don't have frills and fritters Hurting around their pa- triotism and they don't need any band wagons, sob artists or old glory eloquence to smooth down the ragged edges of their patriotism for there arn't any ragged edges. They just go after the neat in the cocoanut and leave the rest to the other fel- low. But was going to tell you what tLose Auvergne patriots did.
 They had heard in round about way, or some other way that Uncle Sam needed some money to keep th;s war going, so they sent him word

 nem to do and they would do it or JuSC. OnCle kOdin Sdlu ic WOuAu like to scatter about ten thous- and dollars worth # bonds around among their corn and cotton fields provided they could furnish the wherewith. Now this proposition, on the face of it would seem to be a sumner to a little spot no bigger than Auvergne, but not to those Au- vergnes, not on your life. They just said, pshaw, or durn, or words to that effect, we thought Uncle Sam wanted us to do something. Why we can do that little stunt with one hand and never miss step, and they did. Bruce Burton and Marvin Hare hap pened to meet out in front of the de- pot and got to talking about what Uncle Sam wanted them to do and pretty soon Jim Davis came up and m three put there heads together to figure ways and means.

God has ordained that the WICK

it's expression and punishment in
outward evil. War is nothing more
than a reflection or image Of the
soul. 1t is the fend within coming
out. Human history is nothing
more than the inward nature mani
tested in its native acts and issues.
Let the soul continue unchanged,
and, should war cease, the inward
plague would still find its way to

BEAUTIFUL COLOR EFFECTS IN
HEDGES
RvI M. BENNINGTON.

One of the most beautiful hedges IS
made by planting scarlet saliva in
row as a background, then a row OF
white nicotiana. with blue ageratum as
a border. In this combination we get
our patriotic colors. While the vivid
blue of the ageratum and the flaming
scarlet of the saliva would be anything
but a pleasing note if planted next
each other the intervening white nj
cotiana, softens and blends the col
ors until the effect is a thing of beau
ty.
Zinnias, calliopsis and white phlox
is another effective combination for
hedges or mass planting. Plant the
zinnias in the back row, then the cal
liopsis and let white phloX form the
border.
Ricinus makes a splendid plant for
hedges. 1t grows to the height of sew
en- or eight feet, with huge eoppery
leaves. This plant is also effective as
a screen or used in the center of cir
cular beds, where its rich tropical fol-
iage if combined with harmonious
plants is thing of beauty.
The seed is tender and should not
be put into the ground until all dan
ger from frost is past. In planting for
i hedges use nasturtiums, zinnias or cal
| liOpsis in front of it.

Clean Athletics for Soldiers.

Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, o.
Ohio and western Pennsylvania Sc
lects in training here will not lack for
plenty of athletics this winter, if plans
of officials go through. Maj. Gen. E.
F. Glenn and Ed S. Conner, division
athletic director, former Bates star,
have been in conference planning big
things in the way of winter sports.
Basketball will be the main feature
of the winters program, according to
present plans. The big difficulty, how
ever, is the lack of floor space. The
Y. M. G. A. buildings and the Knights
of Columbus structure likely will be
available most of the time, but even
all of these will not be enough. Plans
are being drawn, Coach Connor said,
for a huge gymnasium, with a main
floor 200 by 100 feet and a running
track and all modern appliances to be
built before many weeks.
Company, regimental, brigade and
even division basketball team are
planned. Challenges already are be
ing made by the various companies.
In addition, there will be plenty of
skating and boxing for the selects and
possibly some track work, Coach Con
ner said.
Every precaution is taken to guard
the health of the selects. In addition
to providing plenty of recreation for
the men, extra precautions are taken
to protect them from getting impure
or unfit food

The beef cattle barn shown in the
Illustrations is designed to provide q
considerable storage for hay with con-
venient feeding arrangements for a
good many cattle. The construction
follows the plank frame type which
utilizes only stock sizes of lumber
which can be obtained in even the
smallest of lumber yards. This type
Of construction has become very pop
ular In all parts of the country and it
has many advantages, which are now
generally known and accepted.
This design provides for a basement
under the whole barn with windows
along four. sides. A gambrel roof on
the self-supporting plan covers the
main building, with the peak of the
roof pushed up high enough to make
an extra large storage NOW. On the
east side Of the barn Is a shed open al
the front, but closed in completely at
one end and partially at the other.
This part Of the barn is commonly
called covered barnyard.
The foundation under the main barn
IS 12-inch concrete wall, with 24inch
footlngs. The wall is high enough to

CleVeland.-What is responsible for
the great wave of crime that has del

Why has it not been checked, and is
the Cleveland police department at
fault? Has it lost the secret of coping
with the loafer, to whom the bulk of
the crimes is traced?
These questions and several others

others in close touch with depart.

Inc answers cover a wide range,
but the questions themselves have
brought out the claim that the Cleve-
land police department is unable to
cope with the wave and is therefore
inefficient

only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,

caused by an infiamed condition of the

When this tube is inf1aned you have q

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
