Germans KNOW the gunners were uor
asleep.
In the darkness, in single file, the
company slowly wended their way
down the communication trench to the
front line. No one noticed Lloyd's
white and drawn face.
After they had relieved the company
in the trenches, Lloyd, with two of the
old company men, was put on guard in
one of the traverses. Not a shot was
fred from the German lines, and no
one paid any attention to him
crouched on the firing step.
On the first time in, a new recruit is
not required to stand with his head
"over the top" he only "sits 1t out"
while the cider men keep watch.
At about ten o'clock, all of sudden.
he thought hell had broken loose, and
crouched and shivered up against the
parapet. Shells started bursting, as he
imagined, right in their trench, when in
fact they were landing about q hun
dred yards In rear of them, in the sec.
ond lines.
One Of the older men on guard, turn
ing to his mate, said:
'There goes Fritz with those Id
trench mortars again. It's about time
our artillery 'taped' them, and sent
over a few. Well, I'll be ID.
where's that blighter Of q draft man
gone to? There's his rifle leaning
against the parapet. He must have
legged it. Just keep your eye peeled.
Dick, while I report it to the sergeant.
I wonder if the fool knows he can be
shot for such tricks as leavin' his

what was the matter, when he put his
finger to his lips for silence and whis'
pered:
"Get on your equipment, and, with
out any noise, come with me-"
This greatly mystiied me, but ]

Outside of the billet, I asked him
what was up, but he shut me up with
:Don't ask questions, it's against or.

1t was raining like the mischief.
We splashed along muddy road for
about fifteen minutes, finally stopping
at the entrance of what must have
been an old barn. In the darkness. I
could hear pigs srunting, as if they
had just been disturbed. In front Of
the door stood an officer in mack

to him, whispered something, and then

stumbled into the barn and sat on
the door in the darkness. I could see
no one, but could hear men breathing
and moving; they seemed nervous snd
restless. I know I was.
During my wait, three other men
entered. Then the officer poked his
head in the door and ordered:
"Fall in, outside the billet, in single
rank"
We fell in, standing at ease. Then
he commanded:
"Squad-'Shun! Numberl"
There were twelve of US.
"Right-Turn! Left-Wheel! Quick

rain was trickling down my back anu

stumbling into she'll hole in the road,

The sergeant-at-arms of the constl- tutional convention is busy man the "dogs days" of the session. Each day he has to hurry out and call in a delegate or so from the corridors to keep the quorum in the hall.
 When their pay stopped some of the delegates quit work. The majority are sticking to the job, however, on the promise that the next legislature will be asked to pay them. We will give them credit for placing the inter- est of the state above their own at present, but there is little doubt that some of them are taking advantage of an opportunity to work for their own ends.
 There is going to be some question, tho, about the wisdom of making laws with only part of the delegation present. There is going to be some opposition to the new constitution, and its opponents are going to use an argument the fact that several counties were not represented when certain measures were adopted. Those opponenents are going to say that the new constitution was not written by representatives of all the people.
 There is an advantage in the small CT number of delegates, tho. The few CT there are the shorter the argu- ments will be. While debate is neces- sary to bring. out all good and bad points of proposed clause, some of the delegates have taken the apparent attitude that they were there for ora torical purposes almost to the exclus- ion of everything else.
 The convention has not been howl ing success. It has spent days bedat- ing success. It has, spent days debat- them and then reversed itself. It has had a hard time in many cases of drafting measures which are improve ments over the old basic law. But there should be no criticism for this. It is very probable that the old con- stitution contained many clauses that acnnot be improved upon.
 Nevertheless, the convention has not come up to the expectations of the people.

TIPPING OFF U-BOATS.

Some American officials are begin ming to believe that German U-boats have lines of communication to the shores of the United States. One ship captain declares he saw an officer of a U-boat which had sunk his ship in a New York saloon. Other evidence in- dicates that the submarines have spies ashore.
 It is not beyond the range of possi- bility that in some seclued and barren spot along the Atlantic coast the kaiser's sea wolves have found har- Dor, from which they go forth to des- troy American shipping. Many miles of the American coast have been combed in search of such location but so far as the public knows none has been found.
 Uncle Sam is not idle, however, and his thousands of agents are busy try ing to find solution to the problem Altho many German spies have been arrested and interned, shadow Huns still abound in America. The people can help round then. up. The govern. naent wants every citizen whose sus, picions are aroused even by the small.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to Keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much a1ka1i. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful Just plain mulsihed cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injurc the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out cas- fly and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair, dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves t fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

Profiteering the Cause.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Profiteering on a great scale is the cause of the unrest and rioting in Japan, according to an explanation in official quarters here. Not only wholesalers and middle men, dealing in food products and es- pecially in rice, but even the Japan csc farmers who grow the grain have been holding back their stores and de- manding greatly inflated prices.
 No .wthat the Japanese government has seized these stores of rice pre- paratory to distributing them to the people at reasonable prices, it is be- lieved here the popular discontent will be allayed.
 There has also been some difficulty in the matter of transportation. Jap an sharing with the allies in the need for sufficient ocean bottoms. Conse- quently the procurement of rice from the usual sources in British India and Siam has been obstructed.
