COPENHAGEN, Oct. ga news
telegram from Berlin received today
states General Ludendorff, first quar-
termaster general of the German ar
my, and described as the brains of
the army, has resigned. The emper-
or has accepted the resignation the
despatch states, and has decreed that
the lower Rheinish regiment, No. 80,
of which Ludendorff had long been
commander, shall henceforth bear his
name.
Another despatch says the resigna-
ton of Ludendorff was inspired by
the action of the reichstag, which has
adopted by large majority, bill put
ting the military commander under
control of the civil authorities. This
action of the reichstag is regarded
here as the first test of authority be-
tween the military and civil authori-
ties in Germany.

Elusive Happiness.

We must remember one thing. It is
not absolutely necessary to be happy.
1t is all very well to talk about happi-
ness, but one Of the strange contra
dictions Of life Is that we can never
End happiness, If we search for 1t.
Happiness is elusive. It will escape
us, If we seek to hold 1t. But II we
60 our way, If we refuse to lose our
faith, no matter how sad we may be-,
no matter how weary or how disheart-
ened, we will learn to find happiness
in little things, in the reading Of a
book, in the singing Of song, in the
making Of dress, in the doing Of our
work.
It is the last thing indeed that is
the real cure for the establishment
of life that comes to each Of us. Work
is the great panacea. II we work, and
work well, we shall find much to COM
pensate us. And If along the way we
choose to pretend that dreams do
sometimes come true, who can blame
us?-Exchange.

Winter Wheat

Good rains occurred the latter part

Idaho seeding is completed, some
very good yields having BEEN OBJ
