A SOLEMN THOUGHT
(By Edmund Vance Cookie

Now comes a solemn, solemn day
Set back the clock, dear wife!
And weep with me. We've thrown
away
A precious hour of life.
"And each Of all this swarmtng
throng
Has tossed his hour away.
We stand hundred million strong
And mourn our loss today.
"A hundred million precious hours!
1t sets one in a maze;
Why, figured roughly. by the Powers!
tt makes four million days.
I'm weak at figures, that know,
But surely it appears,
Four million days yield, figured low,
A good ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years we've thrown
BY setting back the clock.
Ten thousand years! it turns me
gray!
1t gives ones soul shock.
"Why, that, perhaps, is twice the
OF our recorded race,
Twice the historic years Of man
Of which We have a trace
"Give it to me, this space Of time,
This waste beyond all price,
I'll make an Eden more sublime
Than's Adams Paradise.
mo Hercules shall be as strong.
No Aristotle wiser!
I'll make all life one grand, sweet
song;
I'll civilize the kaiser!-"
dearly love to speculate
On matters of this sort,
But wives are wives, and here my
mate
Broke in and cut me short
IF all men make the same TODD.
Or say 'to-do-less' rather,
A thousand years are gone, since you
Began your silly blather!"
Now by the gods Of Greece and Rome
And angels of the skies!
That's all the help | get at home,
When I philosophize.

quainted with it, looking upon indus
trial technology as a thing apart,
with which he need not trouble him
self and this false idea led him to un-
der estimate the value of industry
with regard to the art Of war.
Modern weapons had to be served
by specialists who must possess not
only the usual qualities of the SOL
der, but, above ALL technical exper-
fence and professional skill; the Ger
man officers were not fitted to con.
troll such men, for in their case the
purely military point of view was a
secondary consideration. In future
the training of their officers must be
regarded from a totally different as
pect."
In suggesting that the British Roy.
al Engineers may be suffering from
this same malady, the editorial writ
er mentions particularly those
branches Of engineering which fall
outside military operations, such as
the use of electric light and power,
water-supply, the industrial develop
ment of large areas of country, etc.
He proceeds:
1T is quite common thing to find
behind our lines several little petrol
electric sets at work within few
yards of each other, each supplying
a different department, and all, of
course, devouring petrol, as we'll as
capital outlay, and working under un-
economical conditions of loading,
where a single proper installation
would have served the lot at less
than half the cost and twice the eff.
cheney Even where a local supply
of electric power has been available
independent sets have been put down.
Wholly unsuitable plants have been
requisitioned from home owing to the
lack Of technical knowledge on the
part of the local engineer officer in
command.
Petrol has been employed where
coal would have been preferable be-
cause the latter can be supplied by
small vessels making short voyages,
whereas petrol comes from far over
seas in large and costly oilships,
which are special object of Hun
nish hate.
Such questions as these demand
broad views and wide knowledge,
which can only be gained in the
school of experience. Their correct
solution is Of immense Importance,
not only to the efficient conduct of
the war, but also to our finances and
to the prosperity of the peoples con-
cerned after the war
"They may seem to be far-fetched;
they are not Narrow views on the
scope of an engineer officers duties
and responsibilities are out of date,
and must go. 1t may be thought that
the problem can be solved by COM
missioning as officers men who IN
civil life are engaged in such work,
and this is perfectly true, but only
one one condition-that they are in
vested with full powers to carry out
their plans without interference.
This, we believe, has not been the
case, and if such wide powers can
not be entrusted to engineer officers
who are not professional soldiers,
then the latter must be provided with
such an adequate and catholic train
ing in the Sciences of engineering
economies and industry as will en-
able them to carry out the work
themselves. Literary Digest.

AMUSEM ENTS.
At tho Strand.

The FREELY Of France" patriotic
photo play starring Wallace Reid and
Ann Little, is the feature attraction, at
the Strand. The picture is an inter-
esting one, contains a strong heart ap-
peal, and the situations. some of
which are highly dramatic, are handled
admirably.
The story follows the adventures of
DevereauX Bayne, a young American
Of wealth. who goes to France as an
aviator. He falls in love with Esme
Falconer, young woman who is
searching for sonfe papers secreted by
the "Firefly," an aviator who is miss
ing, and who is her relative. These
papers are urgently desired by several
German spies. and here you have the
basis for>the picture. How Bayne frus-
trated the spies and wins the love OF
Esme, as well as the cross of war, is
well~told.
Mr.. Reid is we'll cast as Bayne,
while Miss Little gives most enjoy
able portrayal of Esme. Charles Ogle
is excellent as the spy, and Raymond
Hatton makes the most of the small
but important part of the "Firefly.''

Call on County For Contingent Of
Six For Jefferson Barracks, Aug. 5.

Waving their deferred classification.
FIVE young men who registered in 1917
have asked to be placed in Class and
sent into service at once. Their re-
quests have been granted by the local
exemption board, and all but one has
been examined and accepted. The sue
cess of American arms in France, and
the belief that probably many in de-
ferred classes would soon be reclassi-
fed into Glass l. is responsible for this
voluntary movement in most of the
cases. the exemption board believes.
Those who have voluntarily waived
and been placed in Glass /. and who
will be sent with the Wednesday con-
tingent. are Robert McLeland, Taylor

city.
Three Are Married.
Carey. Vaughan and Skipton are all
married, and were in deferred classes
on dependency claims. McLeland and
Ingraham were in Glass c. on agricul-
tural claims
The case of McLeland was somewhat
different from the others. He is the
son of County Auditor w. E. McLeland,
who is a member of the local exemption
board. and with whom he has been en-
gagged in partnership in farming for
three or four years. There has been
so much criticism Of McLeland and his
father regarding the classification of
the former that both decided that to
stop the talk McLeland would waive his
deferred classification and be indicted
at once. His case was recently investi-
gated 3" G. federal agent, and following
McLelands examination last year, af-
ter the local examining physicians had
disqualified him for service, he was re-
examined by army surgeons who also
disqualified him.
The younger McLeland has been in
charge of his fathers farm. 1t is quite
probable that because of his son leav
ing McLeland will resign as county
auditor and member of the exemption
board and give his whole time to the
farm unless he is able to make other
arrangements for farm help.
Six Moro Are Called.
The local exemption board has been
notified to furnish a contingent of six
men for Jefferson Barracks. Mo-, dur
ing the five day period beginning Aug.
5. The states quota is 500 Only white
men of the 1917 registration are to be
included in the call. but in case there
are not enough Glass 1 men Of the 1917
registration Glass l men Of the 1918
registration will be indicted. This con-
tingent is to receive special training to
fit them for auto mechanics.
Small Men Can Get In.
According to an amendment to the
regulations governing the physical ex-
aminations the minimum height has
been lowered from sixty threa inches to
sixty inches. The minimum weight of
10 pounds remains the same as it was
formerly.

Mrs. Martha Seitman aged p, the
wife of Carl Seitman, hardware mer-
chant of Laurel, was instantly killed.
and her husband was slightly injured,
in a collision of automobiles at BaN-
ter at o'clock Sunday afternoon.
when the car Seitman was driving was
run into by an automobile driven by
Wesley Krampe. of near Baxter. Inc
collision occurred at an intersection OF
roads at the northeast corner OF the
town. According to the incompleted
evidence given al the inquest, begun at
Baxter Sunday by Coroner II. v.
Beyers, of Newton, both cars were
travelling at a rate OF from twenty-five
TO thirty miles an hour. The inquest
is to be resumed this evening.
Mrs. Setman Thrown Out.
In the car with Mr.. and Mrs. Seit-
man were their daughter Fern aged
4; Mrs. Setman's brother, John Ref
schneider, and Emma Hubert, OF
Laurel With Ny. and Mrs. krarnpe
in the other car were couple from
Grinnell. The Seitulan car approached
the corner from the east, while the
krampe car was coming from the
north.
The Krampe car struck the right
rear wheel Of the Seitman car. The
wheel was smashed and the car was
hurled around. Mrs. Seitman, who was
in the rear seat. was throw thru the
top about twelve feet, and struck upon
her head.
Krampe's car partly turned around,
MyS Soifyroor,'S head
and crashed. against lamp post.
Mrs. Seitman was dead when
her husband dragged her from
beneath the Krampe car. Her
skull was fractured and she was
bruised on the breast. Mr.. Seitman was
cut by glass and slightly bruised, but
none of the other occupants OF the car
suffered worse injuries than being Sc
verely shaken up.
View Partly DISTRACTED.
The roads on which the cars ap-
preached to the corner is level in both
directions, and the only obstruction to
a clear view in either direction were
two rows Of sweet corn. 1t was the
opinion OF some that had the occupants
of either car been watching they could
have seen the other car before it
reached the intersection.
The occupants Of the Kranpe car
had been examined at the inquest by
County Attorney NJ. r. Hammer. OF
Newton, before it was adjourned until
tonight. The body of Mrs. Seitman
was removed to the undertaking estab-
lishment of Noah & Mccullough, n

REMEDY FOR POTATO PEST.
Soap Spray Will Destroy Green Leaf
Hoppers Damaqing Potatoes.

Frequent reports of the damage being

which is sucking the sap from the
leaves and destroying them have been
made recently to the Office Of County
Agent w. A. Buchanan. He has In
vestigated, and with the assistance OF
experts at Iowa State College, Ames,
has found a remedy. The insect is the
green apple leaf hopper. 1t Is small,
Of light green color. and works on
the underside OF the leaves. 1t has
attacked potatoes and bean patches in
this city in large numbers. The rem
edy is soap~emulsion made as fol-
lows: Use ten ounces Of any good soap,
cut In small pieces and dissolved in
boiling water. q Reduce the mixture
with eight gallons Of water and apply
as a spray. being sure to get the ap-
plication on the under side OF the
leaves, otherwise the application will
do no good, for it is necessary to apply
it directly on the body OF the insect. }
