Aside from considerations of pa
triotism, of succor and of intfmida-
ton. there is also business side to
the third liberty loan. The govern
nient must have the money, with which
TO carry on the big business in which
1T is now engaged. This money can
be obtained in two ways only, by loans
or by taxes. The present purpose is
to make such dovetailed use of both
methods that the burden on the people
will not be unbearable nor the dis
t1r1ance to business unreasonable.

This war will be won. not by the
side which has the most man power,
but by the side which mana ges to
mass the man power at the points
where it is needed. We have the man
power; the next thing is to mass it
where 1t is needed. Nothing else will
win the war. The more comprehen-
sive and thorosoing our plans for the
massing of our vast man power, the
sooner we get them into operation. the
sooner the war will be over.

Olympia.

OiyHlptd
Those who had the naming of
mountains and cities of the northwest
chose with a lavish hand from the
names of gods and goddesses of
mythology and Indian tribes. The
Olympic mountains might well have
been those from which Jove hurled his
thunder. And the sylvan town of
Washington. seems more fitting for
the temples of Greece than those of
lawmaking of an American state.
With the exception, possibly. of An
napolis, Md, no state in the Union has
chosen such an old-world appearing
hamlet for its capital. a town almost
segregated from the outside world. At
the end of a wonderfully beautiful
waterway, deep seated in the hills and
forests, Olympia has none of the at
mosphere of politics and big business
The town is very small one. so
small indeed that the average over
land train would not even hesitate as
it passed thru. Its water front until
recently has been adorned with pleas
ure craft. fishing fleets and cannery
boats The fjords of Puget Sound af-
ford unlimited opportunities for fish
ing and pleasure excursions. Olympia
is small inland seaport
Here loggers and lawmakers have
met in the past to solve the mighty
problems of legislation and numbering.
Here cannery boats tie dup in winter
for overhauling- Here, in time long
past, men tramped in from Tacoma
and Seattle with the supplies which
they could not wrest from nature on
their backs.
The town climbs a short distance
into the surrounding hills rising from
the water front, and then stops The
state capital resembles a dignifie5 seat

fact nearly all northwest buildings
bear the stamp of the home of their
builders, the Scandinavians, Scotch
and English settlers

HILL PUZZLE TO BIOLOGISTS
Stone Columns on Emlnenee Near Pa ehuca, in Mexico, Out of Keeping
 With Other Formations,

A very remarkable geological freak In Mexico Is a mountain situated near Pachuca which presents the appear ance at a distance of being covered with spikes. The sides of the noun tain are closely studded with stone col umns or palisades. These columns are i've to twelve feet long and as large round as an average mans body. It is a remarkable uplift of nature which has the appearance, however, of being the handIwork of human beings. One side of the mountain is almost perpen- dlcular and the stone columns pro- trude from the surface ct right angles forming an impressive picture.
 Pachuca Is one of the most noted mining districts in Mexico, and 1t Is said by geOlogists that this remarka' ble spiked mountain Is out of keeping with the remainder of the formation of the mInerallzed region. The stone Is us hard as flint and has withstood the elements of ages. The spikes form . natural battlement that makes the mountain appear from q distance like an ancient fort. The mines of the Pachuca district are situated not far from this wonderful freak of nature, but the formation encountered In their respective underground workings Is of an entirely different kind from that of the pallsade.

How Tornado orlalnates.

The tornado of the Western plains is identical in formation with the sand whirl. The sun beats tiercely on Him. lted area-Say ten square miles of bar ren pralrIe-and as a result the air next the earth becomes very hot, perhaps 12O degrees, and the mass is constant ly increasing in volume. Above the warm air Is a stratum perhaps 20 de- grees colder.
 By and by a passageway Is made, the hot air begins to ascend and the cold upper air, pressing downward, forces the lighter alr through q chan nel thus formed. It begins to whlrl, It increases in velocity, surface cur rent forces 1t along, and the tornado starts on its destructive journey.
 The terrific cyclone originates in much the same way, only differing In extent. The most violent cyclones or iginate in tropical attitudes, in the At lantic ocean, to the north and east of West Indian islands and in the Pacific, In the China sea and In the neighbor- hood of the Philippine islands.
 The reason they are so destructive Is because they are carried such great distances by extraneOus influences.

Sheep Has Wooden Lea.

Charles Krauter, living near BuCyrus, O., had q lamb get tangled up in a fence and injure its leg. The yeterin- ury told him the leg had to come off. Kruuter did not want to lose the lamb, so minus the leg he nursed 1t back to health and then fixed up a peg leg for it.
 Now the lamb has grown to be sheep and still stumpg around on the wooden leg. Occasionally the wooden member becomes loose and falls of, and the sheep then hobbies over to a soft spot and waits until some one comes along to fasten the leg on again.
 The wooden leg doesn't interfere with the sheep growing wool, Mir. Krauter says, and wool is wool now adays.
