The weather still continues cold and
blustery, but here's hoping that the
weather mar will change his program
soon.
Did some one say spring is coming?
We've seer gopher's, but it's hard to
believe they're a sign of spring.
A cold seems to be going the rounds
of the Porcupine neighborhood, prac-
tically the whole Porcupine school is
absent.
The older pupils Of the school are
trying to do their "bit" by taking up
knitting.
Miss Eunice Cram, Messrs. Floyd
and Art Meek were entertained at a
dinner given by Miss Lefty Knaff.
Word received from Mr.. Dewey
Bradshaw at San Antonio, that he has
been on the sick list for the past three
weeks.
Mr.. E. C. Cram and MI. Ted Vists
have been busy cleaning grain, get
ting ready for the springs work.
Mrs. E. C. Cram is in Nashua nurs

Mrs. F. Scholl received a letter from
her husband, Mr.. F. Scholl at Flores

low 40 miles per hour. This instru-
ment resembles a thermometer, and
the faster you go the higher the IL
quid climbs in the tube.
We finally got the engine started
and I sailed bravely off, keeping my
eve glued to that tube! Finally when
I did get nerve enough to look over
the side, l was about 1900 feet in the
air and flying with my right wing
down. l corrected the planes position
laboriously and then discovered l had
lost the %aerodome! Nowhere could l
see it! After a long flat turn l hap
pened to look directly down and there
it was straight underneath me. Then
came the question Of how to get down
to it. l had never been up so high
before, and did not know how to spiral,
so l had to go away off and make a
long, straight glide for it. Needless
to say, l overshot the mark, and just
did shut off in time to avoid hitting
a shed and also friend colonel.
l shakily dismounted, pulled myself
together and saluted. He wanted to
know "what the devil I meant by stay
ing. up so long," I replied that I en-
joyed the flight so much that l forgot
that time was slipping so quickly.
He then asked me why I came down
so steeply, and l told him we always
did that in America. Suddenly he
turned to me and said that he thought
l would do and that he could s me
as an instructor.-Phil RAIDER in the

JUST DREAM OF LOVE

Turkish girls seem to prepare them
selves for marriage in the absence of
lovers. The are wooed by dreams and
sweet thoughts; their faces become
tender and their voices cooling during
the period when their parents are ma
king inquiries for a suitable husband
for them. But it does seem a pity
that these pretty and charming girls
should never experience in any degree
that most delightful process of court
ship. Perhaps when they emerge in
to the freer life that seemed preparing
for them until the war arrested pro-
gress that will be one of their gains

area Of low pressure-indicated as
low" on the weather map-gives con-
ditions essential to tornadoes. Many
cyclones develop q tornado, but
a tornado never develops without the
cyclone, and almost invariably the tor
nadoes occur in the southeast quarter
Of the low area. About 120 cyclones
pass across the United States each
year, moving in a general way from
west to east. They are of great bene-
fit because they induce a movement of
surface air from the south and south
east, and the rainfall that makes the
great interior valleys a rich agricul-
tural region is dependent upon these
southerly, misunderstanding winds.
Practically all of the cyclones of the
warm season give rise at some time
or place to thunderstorms or hail or
violent winds. These winds may be
violent enough to cause destruction,
but unless they have the whirlwind
column of air they are not tornadoes.
In the east it is not always easy to
distinguish the funnel shaped cloud,
but the lay of the debris after a storm
will tell whether there has been a
twisting motion.
Tornadoes almost invariably move
in an easterly direction and generally
from southwest to northeast. The av-
erage length of the path of destruc-
ton is about Is miles, and this path
may not be continuous, if the funnel
cloud is not in contact with the earth
during its whole course. Sometimes
it rises and goes for a considerable
distance before descending again.

ANSWER PLEASED. GRANT

DIR. James Thorington had a "Pana-
ma dinner" for some of his c%onfreres
who shared the exciting life on the
1sthmus in the early $685. and he told
this story Of how his father, that
doughty Civil War veteran, Colonel
T~horington, obtained the post of con-
sui at Colon:
Grant was the first president to
install c~ivil-service regulations gov
erning appointments to federal office.
Colonel Thorington for once in his
life turned pale when he went to
Washington, and this question faced
him on his examination-paper:
"How many soldiers did England
send to the Colonies during the Revo-
lutionary War;"
He gazed at the paper and the paper
gazed at him for many precious min
utes. Then in desperation the colonel
wrote:
"a Id sight more than ever
went back!"
He trudged home to his hotel NUT
tering to himself: ooh, we'll, it's all
off now!"
Some time later an orderly knocked
at his door. "Colonel Thorington, the
president would like to see you, SIR
He went to the White House feel
ing "shaky."
The president, smiling broadly
wrung his hand, Colonel, you're q
man after my own heart" he cried
"Here are seven consulates. Which
will you have ?"-New York Tribune

HOW HE SECURED PLACE
It was not long before I was sum-
moned before the colonel in command,
and was asked just what line Of work
l was best suited for. I had had only
% lessons, but I lied beautifully and
told him what a splendid flier l was,
and how I "lost out" in that respect
in the French army. When he asked
me if l had ever flown alone, I told
him stirring tales Of many hours in
the air and asserted brazenly that l
was considered second best to Lincoln
Beachey in the States. l was so
anxious to fly that I guess l overdid
it a little.
That afternoon I was told to report
to the colonel in person on the flying
field, which l did. l was tingling with
excitement as to what the outcome of
the meeting would be, and he swept
me off my feet by pointing to that
large Maurice Farman biplane, nick
named the "long-horn" on account Of
two extended projections at the head,
and telling me to make a circuit Of
the field in it, adding that he would
personally pass judgment as to
whether or not l was fit to continue
to fly.
Then it was that my knees almost
gave Way, I was more frightened than
/ wei was in the trenches, but decided
to be game and 60 through with it.
The controls were totally different
from the old Hammondsport Curtiss,
and on this type the steering was done
with the feet, while on the Curtis it
was executed with the wheel. However,
I climbed into the seat and a mechanic,
bless him! hastily explained the con-
trolls to me. Above all, he told me not
to "stall' the machine. This could be
done by allowing the liquid in the
"pilot" tube, or speedometer, get be-

When You Have q Cold.

1t is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Croker, Pana, ILL.,, writes:
"Our five-year-old son Paul caught a
severe cold last winter that settled
on his lungs and he had terrible
coughing spells. We were greatly wor-
ried about him as the medicine we
gave him did not help him in the
least. A neighbor spoke so highly Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy that ]
got a bottle of it. The first dose
benefited him so much that I contin-
ued giving it to him until he was
cured" For sale by all dealers.

can resist these powerful influences
may be questioned, but without money

It seems incredible, despite the pre-

terribly exhausting. The spirit of rev.

in Russia, but among the peoples of

National Guard Activities.

Governor Alexander and Adjutant
General Moody have announced the
four companies of national guardsmen
to form the battalion allowed this state
for internal defense, will be placed In
as many different localities on January

To Wipe Out Sex Disease.
The surgeon general of the United
States has telegraphed DR. Edward T..
Biwer, secretary of the state board Of
health and the governor. that plans for
the campaign against venereal disease
is to be launched In this state at an
early date. Similar campaigns are to
be waged In other states. Idaho has no
specific appropriation for this work
but II is believed ways and means can
be provided for an extensive education
al campaign. A quarantine may be
placed on those afflicted with disease.

for bricklayers. In 1t he says in part:
There is an immediate need for a con-
siderable number Of skilled men. Just
now General Perisning wants 1000
bricklayers at once. A plan for syg-
tematizing and improving the method
prescribed by Section 149 will be pro-
mulgated Just as soon as the CLASH
fication is complete, but in the mean
time we must begin to supply the
skilled men that are needed at once.
1t is recognized that this will put a
burden on the boards at q time when
they are already over-burdened, but
/ feel confident that when they are In
formed of the urgent need Of our arm
les in France we can count upon every
member Of them to give us the most
enthusiastic cooperation and to pro-
duce the desired result at once.
Where Your Dollar Goes.
What becomes of the dollar which
is invested In government bonds?
Here is the course it takes as visual
lied by Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
Adoo In his annual report to congress:
First, It goes to the government as
a loan for the war.
Second, IL is expended by the govern
ment for food, clothing and ammu-
milton, which go directly to the gal
liant soldier or sailor whose fighting
strength is kept warm by the clothing
and whose enemy is hit by the ammu-
milton.
1t has not been expended in the pur-
chase of needless food and clothing for
the man at home, and is therefore re-
leased for the use of the soldier, it is
saved wealth to the man at home and
can be loaned to his government at
interest with resulting benefit to him
self and to his government

WHY SOME BANKERS
MAY OPPOSE FRAZIER

When Auditor Carl kosltzky took
ofSles he dtsoovsrsd that the Sorsn-
inal elevator fund and large.
amounts Of the school fund were
Deposited In various private banks
throughout the state and bearing .
rate Of but 3 per cent interest,"
although The state law specifically
provides that this money should
bear 3 per cont interest.
This money WA Withdrawn from
these banks by the Frazier admin
Istratlon and invested In Liberty
loan bonds to the sum Of $4,000,
seed grain bonds to the sum Of
more than 100000 and The bal.
ance In school and farm loans.
The $4,000 terminal elevator
fund has been deposited In banks by
the present administratlon-not
placed by political favor but let on
competitive biddlno-and as 4 ~
suit this fund, which 10 owned by
the people Of the state, 10 now
drawing 5 per cent Interest, instead
Of 8 per cent AZ It did under the
Hanna administration.
That great sums Of school monies
for many years past have been de-
posted In private banks drawing
only 2 and 8 per cent interest, has
resulted In heavy loss to the state,
rs this money might just as well
have been loaned to farmers at 5
per cent interest. Instead Of that,
the farmers were compelled to pay
8 and 10 per cent interest on money
which they borrowed, while the very
banks which loaned them this
money rel able to borrow the
peoples money at 2 and 8 per cent.
These unjust and injurious con-
ditions have been changed under
the Frazier administration. This
may possibly explain why many
smalI-minded bankers, who place
their private profits above the pub
lie welfare, are doing everything In
their power to prevent a continue
ton Of the policy Of Z square deal
for the people.
