The most practical denlanst

The most practical denienstra-
ton ever given of the value of non
resistance as a means of ..discomfit-
ing an invader, has been recently
given by the Bolsheyeki. Many
have maintained that no army
could or would carry out its pur-
pose OF conquest if no armed re,
sistance were offered to it and or
that point the experience of Rus
STA is illuminating.

THE TINE TO SOW

Our nation is in peril, vastly great
er than we perhaps realize. Our
surplus supplies of wheat and wheat
flour are practically exhausted. The
civil population of France, England
and Italy must be saved from starva-
ton or the ideals for which this
country entered the war will be lost
and the millions of men who have
died and who are yet to die upon the
battle fields Of Europe for these ideals
will have died in vain.
We must make the best Of the situa
,, ton and save. Save anything that
can be used as food. We cannot bank
on the new crops; there may be an
other shortage this season Vs. hope
not. At any rate there will be a
good market for food stuffs formonths
and even years, whether the war goes
on or not. Over-production is not to
be drought of for some time to come
We are blessed with lots OF land
for cultivation, and all it takes is
little extra effort to make up TIM
shortages. So begin NOW to plar
on the new corn fields, oats fields

CAMP LEWIS SHOW is
VIEWED BY 10000
Attendance at Military Event Sets d
New Record at Cantonment
Near Tacoma.

Camp Lewis, Tacoma.-With an at
tendance that broke all cantonment
records both numerically and from
the standpoint of civilians present,
the military horse show, given Sun
day afternoon at the remount depot
arena before approximately 10000
spectators, set new mark in events
of this nature at the army camp.
Horsemanship of every description
in army work was shown both in COM
petitive and exhibition events, with a
sprinkle of rough riding thrown in
to furnish additional thrills.
The affair differed from previous
remount shows in that this time all
organizations of the 91st division at
Camp Lewis participated and display
ed for the first time the degree of
efficiency which has been reached in
training the animals for the duties
which they will some day have to
perform overseas.

For the Temporary Repair
Of Broken Spectacle Lens

Those who are so unfortunate as
to have to wear glasses know what
inconvenience and discomfort are
caused by breaking a lens and hav-
ing to wait for a new one. Matters
are helped some If a repair can be
effected, states an authority. This is
not always possible but if the break
is a simple fracture, the following
method produces a good repair:
Soften gum shellac in alcohol and
apply it to the edges to be cemented.
Press the edges firmly together and
hold in position for a few minutes.
Then lay the lens on pad Of cotton
or soft cloth for an hour or two. so
that the shellac may harden enough
to stand usage. Note that the shellac
is not to be dissolved in the alcohol
just soften until it can be spread
on the edges of the glass.

EARLY History of Sunar.

While the knowledge of sugar and
its uses is no new thing, the almost
universal use of sugar, and especially
of white sugar, as human food is
relatively new development, and the
tremendous growth of the sugar-using
habit is one of the marvels of the
years. The use of sugar in the far east
goes back before the beginning of re-
corded history. The classic writer's Of
Greece have made the world acquainted
with the use of sugar by the people of
India, says Washington Star.
1t is to the natives of India that
credit is given by the earliest writer's
now known to the world for the dis
covery of the sweet juice of the cane,
which many of the Greeks called "bam-
boo" According to Seneca, a honey
bearing reed was to be found in India,
and Theophrastes wrote that the PEG
