SOLDIERS ARE
SEEKING PLACES
AS TEACHERS
More Than 600 Applications
Received From Men in
Service

More than coo applications on
the lists of the Central Teachers
Agency at 202 Walnut street, are
now in government service. OF this
number SS7 are wearing the khaki
and the rest are occupying clerical
and other positions. But if these
should return it will be an easy mat
ter to find positions for them in q
very short time. So declared Man
ager j. S. Arnold of the agency this
morning. I'm fact" he said, there
are 100 vacant positions on my
books now. If 1 could get men and
women with the proper qualifications
l can ill these positions in five days"
The applications of the 337 men
in the service were made before they
donned the uniform. Now that peace
is in sight and they expect to wear
civilian clothes again, it will be easy
I to make preparations to accommo-
date these soldier-teachers, Manager
Arnold declared.
In addition to these men, there
are more than 200 school teachers
who have quit the ranks and have
entered the government service as
clerks in Washington and at other
posts. The shortage of teachers is
so great that when these return to
their profession there will be ample
room for them. AS illustrations

Railroad Notes

Director General McAdoo declares he
will lower freight and passenger
rates as soon as it is determined that
revenues are sufficient to pay wage
increases and the higher cost of ma
terials, supplies and other transporta-
tion elements. 1t is explained, how
ever. that this time is not yet in
sight.
Director General McAdoo has issued
statement which has been posted on
the bulletin boards throughout the
railroad buildings here, announcing
that s14S, S6S, 800 was subscribed to the
Fourth Liberty Loan by railroad Of
ficials and employees of the roads
under federal control.
The necessity for shopping an un-
usually large number of cars which
were damaged in one way or another
often perhaps the result of careless
superintendent j. c. Johnson, OF the
Middle Division, in which he says that
it is an indication that some one is
not doing his part.
Train No. II was delayed for some
time at Hornngford, on she Middle
Division, when the main rod of en-
gine No. 334T. broke at o'clock yes
terday morning. Engineer \. J. Gard
ner. of Altoona, was injured when
struck by the reverse lever. The en-
gine was stripped when the main rod
broke When the engineer took hold
of the reverse lever it flew back and
struck him on the arm, incapacitating
him from continuing tho run. Traf-
fc was delayed.

ing up the Heinies."
Captain Grow stated that in the
fighting in the Argonne region, out
of thirty officers in his battalion 1t
would have been hard to have mus
tered ten after the engagement, and
some of those left were replacement
officers. He said that he had seen
hard lighting in the second battle of
the Marne, at FSmes and at the
Argonne. and that he was indeed one
of the lucky ones.
After spending about ten days at
his home. Captain Crow will report
at Camp Hancock where he has been
detailed as a machine gun instruc-

while he was on the high seas, and
there was much rejoicing on the

Less than 100 appeals from tri-
ennial assessments of properties as
made by James c. Thompson, have
been filed by owners in the city in

Ashanti Cocoa Growing.

Cocoa growing is rapidly becoming a
prominent industry in Ashanti, which
has hitherto been associated with
nameless horrors perpetrated by King
Prempeh, which necessitated repeated
punitive expeditions down to 1900, the
most famous being Lord Wolseley's
campaign through the trackless jungle
in 1894. Now the Gold Coast is the
largest exporter of cocoa in the world.
and Ashanti supplies very large pro-
portion. Archdeacon Morrison writes
from Kumassi "In the last five years
Ashanti has made great strides in COM
mercial prosperity. This is owing to
cocoa. When the rubber boom came
to an end there was stagnation for
short time, but cocoa has more than
taken its place. Ashanti makes an
ideal cocoa-growing country, and the
industry is very suitable for the West
African, as it requires no great out
put of labor"

FISH, FROG, TOAD SHOWERS
Infrcqucncy of Such Events More to
Be Wondered At Than Fact
That They Occur.

Probably the most remarkable thing
about the many reported showers of
such objects as fish, frogs, toads and
the like is the skepticism with which
the accounts of these occurrences are
greeted. The wonder is, observes
writer. not that they occur, but that
they are so infrequent. Everybody has
seen the wind carry away, to be de-
posted in parts unknown. such light
objects as leaves and scraps Of paper.
Everybody has also heard, at least, OF
the astonishing feats performed by tor
nadoes and hurricanes in transporting
much heavier articles.
For example, at Beauregard, Miss.
April %, 1888, the solid iron screw of
cotton press, weighing 675 pounds,
was carried 900 feet On another oc-
casion a hencoop weighing rs pounds
was transported four miles. In a tor
nado at Mount CARMEL, H., a piece
of tin roof was carried 10 miles and {
church spire II miles. What goes vi
must come down. We know, from tn
facts first cited. that the fall of s.
light and common an object as frol
for example, must happen rather FIRE
quently in any part of the world sui
ject to high winds.

Poets and Politicians.

Recently elected director of >the
North Eastern Railway company, Wis
count Grey of Fallodon is man of
great personal charm, says London
Tit-Bits. He hates swank and often
displays an amiability which can
even tolerate "a bore. He is said to be
the most cordial host that ever well
coined a guest.
A mystic and a poet at heart-he
has been accused of writing clever
verse under a nom de plume-he is a
politician by command and duty, for
1t was the late Mr.. Gladstone who in
sisted that with such brains he owed
it to his country to busy himself with
affairs of state. Formerly he in
dulged in championship form at lawn
tennis; now he is the leading expo
nent of fiy-fshing in England.

In your whole life got a Christmas pres
ent7 I've been cultivating the Louise of
me, and here are the first fruits of my
endeavor-I guess that's the way they say
it. I've spent SO much time sitting by
mommie when she's asleep and get tired
of reading all the time a nurse in this
ward-mommie has room to herself, of
course, but not special nurse, because
l can do lot of the little things. Well.
the nurse taught ME how to hemstitch
So l got some silk and made some nice
soft neckerchiefs-one for you and one
for me.
This one / made last. l didn't want
your eagle eyes seeing all the bobby
stitches on the first one l hope you like
it, Ward. Every stitch stands for a
thought OF the hills and our good times.
I've brought Minervy back to life, and l
try to play my old pretends sometimes.
But they always break up into pieces. I'm
not kid now, you see. And life Is lot
different when you get out into 1t, isn't 1t?
Mommie doesn't seem to get much bet
ter. I'm worried about her. She seems
to have let go, somehow. She never talks
about the ranch much or even worries
about whether Phoebe is keeping the win
dows washed. She talks about when she
was a little girl and about when she and
daddy were first married. 1t gets on my
everyday life. The nurse says that's COM
mon, though, in sickness. She says /
could go home and look efter things for
week or so just as we i as not She
says momme would be right But /
hate to leave her.
I'm awfully homesck for q good old ride
on Blue. l miss him terribly. Have you
seen anything of the cove folks lately :?
Seems like I'm clear out of the world.
hate town, anyway, and q hospital is the
limit for dismalness. Even the Louise OF
me is getting ready to do something aw-
full if have to stay much longer Nom
ME sleeps most of the time. / believe they
dope her with something. She doesn
have that awful pain so bad. So don
have anything to do but sit around and
read and sew and wait for her to wake
up and want something.
And this is Christmas, almost. / won
der what you'll be doing. Say, Ward If
you want to be perfect jewel of a man
send me some of that jerlSy you've got
hanging at the head OF your bunk.
swiped some that last time l was there.
1t would taste mighty good to me now,
after all this hospital truck.
| Well, merry Christmas, Pal-o'-mine,
and here's hoping you and mommie and
will be eating turkey together at the
Wolverine when next Christmas comes
Nummy-numt Wouldn't that taste good
though?
Now remember and write a whole tablet

or not your mule was on the track, the
property of the defendant. when hit
by the train?'
