SAW DEVIL IN RED HAIR
But the Preacher Was Smashed and
Fined.

Rev. Frank l.. Johnson, pastor Of a
PentecOstal church Mt Chico, Cal, saw
the red hair of Walter Kemplery in his
congregation and mistOok 1t for the
red challenge flag of the devil.
Grasping a chair near the pulpit,
Rev. Johnson made wild dash
through the crowded pews, crying as
he sped:
"There's the devil within a red
haired man. The divine spirit tells me
to drive out the sin with fOrcep
And leaping over or brushing aside
all distractions, human and otherwise,
the pastor reached Kemplery, and by
means of the chair began converting
him to the ranks of the blessed.
But Kemplery took his turn at see
ing red about that time and instead Of
the devil he made flank movement
and sent an artillery blow into the
midst Of Rev. Mr.. JohnsOn's front-line
trench.
Furniture was pretty well banged up
and the rest of the congregation were
worse than panic-stricken when the
police arrived. Both Johnson and Kem-
plery We're arrested and taken before
Judge Barnes, who fined them $40

NATURE OPENS INLET
Storm Brings Improvement Farmers
Had Sought in Vain.

In few hours nature has done for
the rich farmers along the Indian
river in Delaware what congress has
failed to do in more than fifty years,
when the recent storm cut an inlet 300
yards wide and eight feet deep where
the river and bar flow into the ocean.
For several years the inlet has grad
ually filed until navigation has been
stopped, and bills before congress for
appropriations to build jettles have al
ways failed.
Several times farmers have at
tempted to dig the opening larger, but
to no avail. When it closed even
smaller this winter and no fish were
coming in another attempt was made,
but the sand shifted as fast as the
farmers dug 1t out.
Then storm came and In few hours
secured the inlet so that twO-masted
schooner can pass while the fish are
swarming into the Quieter waters of
Indian river and Rehoboth bay.

UNABLE TO Shake
ALLIED AIR RULE
Ea,ya,3 Machines SurpaSs Best
Hun Types in All Branches
of Service.

IN spite OF the ADMINISTRATION
efforts of The Germans. prompted by
the entry of the United States into the
world conflict, and their threat to have
thousands Of aircraft available this
spring. the enemy has been unable to
even shake the allied air superiority
anywhere. The siUGie-scater machines,
the Hanover monoplaue and the Pfalz
bipluuc do not compare with the latest
models Of French and British fighting
planes.
For speed in climbing the Germans
found the FokEcr triplane impractical
and it was quickly discarded for Il new
type of monoplane.
While this munoplaue was fast il
was unreliable and less speedy than
the wonderful French MOrane. The
Pfalz biplanc is little better but it
suffers continually with motor trouble.
The Germans are now using a light
er machine, which carries a brace of
machine guns. The enemy's twO-seater
of the Albatross-Aviatik type is still
the best machine they have. 1t is
speedy and capable of climbing TO
great height, owing to its large spread
of wings.
However, the Germans are obliged
to use faster observation machines
than the allied aviutOrS, as their single
scatter fighting machines are incapable
of protecting the twO-seaters as the al
lied machines are.
The scout machines cf the allies are
also used for guard duty, for regulat-
Ing artillery fire and for Photographic
work.
It is also noticeable that the accur-
acy of the encmy's antiuircraft guns is
falling of. This is due to the fact that
many of their best ayiators have been
drafted for machine gun service to re-
place those killed in the recent German
offensive.

HAS A BIRD FARM
Takes the Trouble to Build House for
Them on His Place.

There is man in Michigan who
takes the trouble to build comfortable
homes for birds. In March, 1914, +.
A. Stuart began to equip his property
of 1878 acres, near Marshall, as Il
bird sanctuary. AT the last count he
had set up 1,434 bird boxes in scien-
tific arrangement so as to realize the
best possible results,
On June 13, 1916, he found 202 bird
families enjoying the hospitality of his
houses, besides the multitudes breed
ing after the native wild fashion in
the trees, bushes and fields on his es-
tate. Martins, bluebirds, tree swal-
lows, wrens, robins and phoebe birds
are among the varieties in this bird
refuge.
Mr.. Stuart takes great care to in
spect the premises every q days, these
trips Of inspection including the exact
number of homes occupied, the num-
Der of nests, eggs or young, and the
kinds of birds. The houses farther
away from the buildings are more
freely used, especially by tree swal-
lows and bluebirds. At a distance
from the buildings the little bird
houses are mounted on fence posts, or
on iron gas pipe eight or ten feet high.
Others are on the edge of the wood
land and In the interior of the woods.

SEA CALLS To our
COUNTRY'S YOUNG MEN
Never Was Need Greater TO Carry
Flag to Foreign
Ports.
BY HENRY TOWARD,
Director Of Recruiting Service, U. S.
Shippinu Board.

The seas call to our country's youth
today is clear and strong. At ao other
period Of our national life has need
been greater than now for fearless
men to carry our flag through stress
Of war and storm to foreign ports.
The American merchant mariner Of
today takes rank in the greatest Of
all wars-the ultimate struggle of lib
Crty with fOrcp-beside the hOnored
brothers of the army and navy, an OK
emplar of the strength and plenty of
this free and chivalrous new world.
In his hands we trust our trader, but
more than this, we trust our honor,
too. Neither shall perish so long as
our mariners sail the seas. Their call
ing is cherished legacy from God
fearing forefathers who In their day
sailed hard and far on errands of
peaceful commerce, while ever ready
to fight for freedom. The descendants
of such men do not fail in their duty
when the sea calls them in this time
of war. The ways of the sailor may
have been lost to them in generations
of peaceful land pursuits; but the salt
is in their blood, and with steady pur-
pose they say to the sea: "Take me
and teach me what you would have me
do" This response, from shore to
shore of a mighty land, makes possible
the now, great things America is doing
on the sea to end the war. On n thou
sand new ships now taking shape upon
our shores American merchant sailors
by tens of thousands will go forth,
without fear. Veterans in sea service
will have trained the newcomers to
the hect-and so will be wrought
strong. closc-knit all-American per-
sCnpel for our reborn merchant ma

A bleeding but eXultant band,
Each for his own beloved land,
And all for Liberty, we stand.
Majestic England, glorious France,
Belgium, who led the brave advance,
And all the knlghthood Of romance,

In every breast the bugles start
The fanfare Of the high in heart.

With any weapons, any wear,
Take but our manhood strength, and

FIND BURIED MONEY
II Was Hidden Years Ago by Pi-
oneer

While boring post hole on his
farm, located on the old Oregon trail,
near the Little Blue river, few miles
northeast Of Deshler, Neb., William
Beckman struck an obstacle which
proved to be an old kettle in which
were number of pieces of money,
how much and of what denomination
the lucky finder refuses TO say. The
old kettle and few of the coins were
brought to town end placed on exhibl-
ton.
The find Is thought to have been
buried by Mr.. Jules, who owned the
place years ago. He sold out to "Buf.
falo Bill' civilian Cody and Capt.
Lutte North, and was afterward killed
by the Indians. Tradition says that
before the Indians raided the place
Mr.. Jules secreted a large sum of
money, and treasure hunters have
searched the place In vain FOR years
for What Mr.. Beckman bored into last
week.
