HUNS LEAVE TRAPS.

Paris. Oct. 2O-An English officer
at Cambria had his hand torn off yes
terday by one of the enemy's internal
traps, says a special dispatch to the
Temps.
Seeing a piano abandoned in the
middle of street, he struck a chord
and an explosion followed which rip
ped off his hand. A grenade had been
placed in connection with the keys.
The Temps correspondent warns
returning inhabitants of Cambria to
be careful in correcting any lack of
symmetry they may find in their
homes; to beware of Strengthening
pictures, replacing door panels which
they find loosened. removing nails and
of touching objects they may find in
the courtyard, cellar or garden. Such
action, he says, may explode an in
fernal machine.

THE FIRST MUSIC.

The father of song, music and
dancing, all three, was the savage
who first clapped hands and shouted
in time at some rude festival of his
tribe. From that clapping and shout
ing has been involved the whole art
of instrumental music, including even
the enhancing complexities of the
modern symphony. From that shout
or rudimentary emotional utterance
has proceeded by a kindred eyolu-
ton the whole art Of vocal music
down to the modern opera or orator

ca. The first cars on this primitive
line were drawn by horses.
A line known as the Vlazie Rail-
road was put in operation out of Ban
gor, Me-, in 1886. the Quincy road
antedating this several years. The
Bangor road began with two locomo-
tives of Stephenson's make in Eng
land. They had no cabs for the driver
or fireman on their arrival in this
country, but rude affairs were soon
attached. Wood was used for fuel.
The first cars also were made in
England, a carriage much like a big
stagecoach being placed on a rude
platform and trucks. The capacity Of
each car was eight passengers. In the
beginning the one train on the line
made about twelve miles in forty
minutes, and the people of the coun-
try round about marveled at the
speed it made.
The rails on these pioneer railways
were made of strap iron, spiked down
to scantlings.
The Boston e. Lowell, Boston &
Providence. and Boston & Worcester
Railroads were all opened for traffic
in 1885.

HALT CALLED ON
WHEAT ACREAGE

Washington, Oct. 1S-Julius H.
Barnes, president of the Food Adj
illustrations Grain cooperation, be-
lieves that further extension of wheat
acreage would be unnecessary and
unwise. In a Letter today from Sena-
tor Hitchcock, of Nebraska, Mr..
Barnes said a fair yield from the
present large acreage with any peace
developments opening new sources OF
supply would necessitate congress
sional appropriation to make effec-
tive the present price guarantee.
81 feel it to be fact" said Mr..
Barnes, that the wheat acreage of
this country has already been stimu-
lated as far as it should soundly be
developed, and any further stimula-
ton or expansion of wheat acreage is
liable to be at the expense of the
necessary acreage of other crops, par
ticularly fodder grain. Last years
acreage of wheat of 65,000,000 acres
was much the largest ever sown, yet
this years acreage promises to ex-
coed that.
Last years acreage produced a
wheat crop which is exceedingly bur
densome in all sections, while large
acreage next year presents some
problems under the price guarantee
given which must be very probably
solved by Congress, for with a fair
normal yield on the acreage now in
sight for the coming crops and with
any developments of peace, which re-
strains the demand upon us by throw
ing open other sources of wheat sup
ply, it will probably require a very
large appropriation by Congress to
make effective the present price guar
antee."

WAR WORK CAMPAIGN.

Upon request of President Wilson
the above organization has been per-
fected and the week of November IL
to 18th 1918, has been designated as
Contribution week and is to be de-
voted to the raising, through public
contribution, the sum of $170,5O0
900, which is less than 81. given to
each soldier and sailor of our fight
ing forces for the great cause of free
dam, liberty and christianity.
The purpose of the organization is
to cooperate or coordinate with
the following war agencies, namely:
The National War Work Council of
Y. NJ. c. A, War Work Council Y.
w. c. A, The National Community
Service, The American Library AS
ISOLATION and The Salvation Army.
The Field army of these seven
great agencies comprise more than
$4,000 uniformed workers on both
sides of the water, and Gen. Pershing
is calling for additional workers to be
sent at the rate of at least 1000 per
month, as their work is intended to
reach each and every soldier and
sailor in an effort to maintain a
high morale of the Army and Navy,
and to impress upon the boys. that
constitute same, that the folks at
home are thinking of and praying
for them. Certainly no American
citizen can say that 81. per week is
too much for the cheer and comfort
of our brave boys. especially, if one
of the boys is his boy.
Therefore, in order that Kentucky
may continue to occupy her exhalted
position in the front ranks, in look
ing after the comfort and inviron-
ment of our soldiers and sailors, may
l beg of each citizen of this Common
wealth to send a contribution to this
noble and glorious cause, addressing
same to Hon. Myron T. Herrick,
Oil Equitable Bldg, 347 Madison
Ave, New York City, and thereby let
our boys, over the sea, know that at
home every man. woman and child is
standing behind him with united, I'M
divided and indivisible purpose-TO
WIN.

Questions and Answers.


Questions and Answers.
l.. X. Can anything be done to
remove moles from the face?
Answer-Moles are deposits of pig
ment below the outer layer of the
skin. and in trying to remove them
there is always danger of leaving a
scar. IL is sometimes possible, how
ever, to remove them by electrolysis
or by scraping the outer layer of
cells away with a sharp, sterilized
knife and then applying a caustic,
like nitrate of silver.

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.]

From Tuesdays Daily.
Philadelphia, Pa, April 2.-May II,
the second Sunday in May, is
Mothers Day. "In honor of the best
mother that ever lived-your
mother" was one of the slogans
under which the celebration of this
day was inaugurated by Miss Anna
Jarvis, of Philadelphia, several years
ago. The object, to bring about
world wide recognition of specified
day as one for universal emphasis of
the love men and women owe to a
good mother, has been accorded a
response from practically every civil
lied nation,
Bat this year, Mothers Day is to
have significance even deeper than
formerly. With the assistance OF
military and naval authorities in the
United States, with the country's
ships at sea and commanding her
troops abroad, and with the aid OF
The Red Cross and Young Mems
Christian association officials, the
dav is to be one for an interchange
Of greetings between mothers at
nome and their boys with the colors.
By men in foreign service, it is
hoped, the day will be partly devoted
to letter writing. Congress has made
the day national flag day. Secre-
taries Baker and Daniels and General
Pershing have endorsed the innova-
ton to be introduced this year on the
theory that nothing so stimulates the
morale of fighting men as letters
from home
Honor the Mothers.
Honcring mothers or their MEM
DRY through some distinct act of
Kindness visit, "a letter, or the
wearing of white carnation-are
the marks of Mothers Day observ-
ance which have been widely adopted
in North and South America, Eng
land, Europe and in Australia.
The white carnation has been rec
ognized as the special flower for
Mothers Day, It's whiteness is held
symbolic of purity; its form, beauty;
it's fragrance, love; it's wide field of
growth, charity; its lasting quail
ties, faithfulness-the embodiment
of the virtues of motherhood.
In her annual announcement of
the day, Miss Jarvis says, at is not
"a day of idle sentimentalism. 1t
evokes renewal of allegiance to our
highest ideals of womanhoOd and
will contribute to the sancity of home
and motherhood and the strengthen
ing of domestic and national integ-
rity.
Observance Of the day is to be
urged in schools, colleges, churches,
fraternal societies. orphanages and
prisons. In recent years, mayors of
many cities and towns throughout
the United States have issued proc
lamations calling for general OBJ
. Servance of the day. $500.

he was going to the twin cities. Con-
rad then offered to sell the car. He
was offered 1925, if everything was
all right. Conrad said he would give
car, tools and all for that.
This offer looked suspicious. He
was asked where he got it and he said
he bought it at Comfrey. The local
agent called up Comfrey and found
that the agent there had sold no
car to anybody of this mans descrip-
ton. The police were notified They
took the man into custody He told
them he bought the car at Fairmont.
