The SqueamIsh Sex.

Mrs. NJ. had asked two little boys
for luncheon, their respective mothers
being far from home. During lunch
con the delicate question Of baths was
discussed.
"Say, Freddie, do you like to take
baths?"
"Gee whiz, mol WhyT
swell, l don't either, but think you
have to-"
"Oh, I take them when they make
me, but would never take 'em II they
didn't make me-"

have to take them even when they
don't make you"

HELPMEETS ARE NEEDED YET
Testimony Of suffraglst Plainly Shows
That Mere Man Cannot Do
Without Them.

There Is no use denying 1t, mister
man cannot exist without a helpmeet,
New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. The wom-
en- themselves admit .h.s .i.i. ..nucn. but
they deny emphatically that they are
dependent upon the sterner sex. No,
indeed. 1t was over at the votes for
women headquarters recently that the
well-known and oft accepted theory
Of the dependency of women upon
mere man was attacked.
Someone had volunteered the fear
that women will always be regarded
as weak and dependent as long as it
is necessary for friend wife to call
upon hubby to button up her waist in
the back or see II the hooks are all
tight or If her hat is on straight, and
II her hair Is all over her head. The
very fact that man is at all times able
to care for his sartorial self alone was
cited as an example of the varying in
dependence of the two. "But that isn't
always so," replied one of the state
campaigners. my husband went away
on a campaign trip this summer for
two weeks and every single night he
had to wire me to ask where he would
be likely to find his pajamas."

SAVES MONEY FOR THE ARMY
Indiana Mess Sergeant Feeds His Men
for Less Than twenty-five
Cents Each a Day.

How an inexperienced man can feed
government troops and save money on
the job Is being demonstrated at Camp
Taylor by Lucas Lincoln of this city,
says the Indianapolis News. Lincoln
Is mess sergeant of the Forty-second
company, Eleventh battalion. He was
one of the first drafted men to go from
here, having volunteered out Of his
regular order of obligation. He is a
son Of a furniture manufacturer here,
and Is married.
In a letter home, Lincoln tells how
he is feeding 145 men for less than 25
cents each day. He says the food Is
well cooked. and that the men have
plenty. A sample menu. inclosed In
the letter, shows how Lincoln made a
saving of $17.3s on the governments
food allowance for the three meals
scheduled.
For breakfast the men had ham,
burger steak, biscuits and syrup,
hashed brown potatoes and coffee. The
dinner menu was vegetable SOUP mac
aroni and cheese, bread and hot tea,
and peach cobbler. For supper the
men had boiied ham, mashed potatoes,
bread and syrup, tea and stewed
prunes.

Love Their AirpIanss.

A thrilling story is being told which
illustrates the attachment Of our fly.
ing men to their machines. A young
pilot, not yet out of his teens. was fly
ing high over the enemy lines when
hail Of bullets suddenly overlook the
machine. One struck him in the face.
putting out his left eye, another shat
tered his leg. and the airplane was
riddled. To descend among the enemy
and receive medical attention would
have been easy, but with the numb
ness of death upon him he still re-
tanned consciousness enough to make
out our own lines and steer steadily
towards that goal. Amid tumultuous
cheering the machine at last came
down on friendly soil. The young avi'
ator died that night. His last words
were: Doctor. I'm sorry couldn't
bring the old bus home intact."-Lon'

footed HIMSELF INTO ARMY
Young Chicago stenogrspher's Devo-
tion to Clarinet Landed Him
at Camp Logan.

We've got a new boy in our Office,
all on account of the old one having
actually footed himself into Uncle
Sans service" says Charles E..
Baumgart of Chicago.
'Long before any draft was made
we had boy stenographer and type
writer named Melville f. Bremen, and
we also sent him out to dress up show
windows with our cards and goods.
"One day he came down to the Office
with a queer looking package. When
he uncovered 1t 1t was found to be a
secondhand clarinet, and almost be-
fore we knew how he was spending his
spare time he was giving US something
that sounded like a cross between
America and Marching Through
Georgia. However, the boy had plen-
ty Of persistence and he stuck to his
clarinet despite the fact that his folks
threatened to chase him up in the attic
of his home. He'd bring the thing down
to the Office now and then and let out
a blast that caused general consterna-
tion.
However, Melville managed to at
tract the attention of the bandmastsr
Of the Second Illinois infantry, and
one day he came into the Office with
the broadest Irish smile you ever saw
In your life. He had enlisted as a
member of the regime ital band. Now
he is Private NJ. r. Brannen and Is
footing his own horn down at Camp
Logan, Houston, Tex. Besides that
he's doing clerical work In the adju-
tant's tent, and no one knows what
he'll be doing next.

sItka Pine Comes Into Its Own.

A steamship that arrived In Seattle
recently brought the first shipment of
Sitka spruce from Alaska for use In
making airplanes. This wood is supe-
rior to any other for lightness and
strength, and rods 90 feet long without
a knot or blemish are easily obtained.
Much of this spruce has already been
shipped to Europe from British Co
lumbia, Oregon and Washington. Sit
ka spruce is the dominant tree Of the
Alaska coast region. and was for a
long time regarded with contempt by
lumbermen and used only for Esh
boxes. Now 1t is the hope of the Unit
ed States for paper pulp and airplane
frames.

Mo aIadness Among Them.

Nearly thousand years had passed
since the birth of Christ before the
Russian Slavs were converted to Chris
tianity. Already the English, the
Franks and the Germans had been
Christians for some centuries, when.
In 987, Prince Vladimir sent ENJOYS to
study the religions Of the various
neighboring nations whose represent
atives had been urging him to EN-
brace their respective faiths. Nestor
describes their report In amusing
terms, OF the Mussulmans they re-
ported, "There Is no gladness among
them. only sorrow and a great stencil;
their religion Is not good one." Al
Constantinople they said. I'VE no
longer knew whether we were In heav.
en- or on earth, nor such beauty, and
We know not how to tell Of It,"

FOUR HUNDRED TO ONE SHOT
rstlnate Of UnsentlmentaI Brokers
That Lord Kitchener ls Not
Among the Living.

Legends once well rooted die hard.
MANY people believe that Earl Kitch-
amer survived the sinking of the
hampshire, and is either a prisoner of
war. or. escaping In small boat, has
reached some remote part of the
world and is living In anonymous re-
tirement.
The romance gained a fresh lease
of life when Mrs. Parker, sister of
the great general, publicly announced
at Hastings not long ago her firm be-
lief that her brother was alive and
would one day return.
1t is impossible to argue the matter.
One can only believe or disbelieve. A
measure of credence which business
men attach to the story is to be found
In letter printed In the Liverpool
Echo, Messrs. A. Letton, Percival &
Co, insurance brokers of that city, say
that client of theirs wanted to know
what rate could be quoted to cover the
allowing risk:
That Lord Kitchener was alive on Au-
gust 81. 1917. the onus of proof to be on
the assured. and to be furnished within
three months from peace being signed
Lloyd's underwriters were prepared
to accept ten thousand pounds at FIVE
shillings per cent, and the insurance,
II that is the right word for it, has
been completed.
The chances Of Lord Kitchener be-
ing alive are, therefore, regarded by
unsentimental brokers as one In four
hundred.-London Chronicle.

LOVE MAKES SOME CHANGE
Engaged Man Always Wishes to Have
His Flaneee Conventional, but
Never Freakish.

So long as he looks upon woman as
an amusing curiosity, man Is rather
glad to have her wear queer garments
and do unconventional things for his
diversion, says Mary. Margaret Nc
Bride in The Columbia Times.
But just you wait until he falls In
love-" she continues. "At once he be-
comes a different creature. The prunes
and prisms Of conventionality begin to
hedge him round, and before anybody
knows what has happened to him, he
Is laying down a whole category of
don'ts for the poor feminine thing who
Is blessed with his lordly love. No
longer does 1t strike him as diffeernt.
"He wishes her to be cut from the
same cloth as all the rest of them, and
he looks upon himself as mistreated
individual IL she isn't. All of which is
merely another way of saying there
isn't any such animal as modern
man."

By his departure the ridge has lost
its most ancient human landmark
When ne came here as home-seeker
and pioneer it was truly the forest
primeval. No woodman's axe had
come to prey with whitening blast
upon its tall majestic sentinels: the
sylvan quiet was never broken save
by the hooting owl at night, and by
day its feathered denizens. Not so
now, said Uncle Jack, as he fingered
before departure, in reminiscent
mood and with nodding head, as he
recalled the early days of toll and.
days of trapping and shooting the
game galore in stream and forest,
his own happy hunting ground. By
his plaintive tone of voice and mois-
tened eyes he showed that he was
loath to leave his long loved habi-
tude and old familiar trails. -,

Greenfield and Kenton, via Sidonia

ditional promise of deserved frui-
ton. During the past week not a
voice of dissent was heard from all
who were invited to sign, only COM
ments of hearty approval, all tax
ing the neighborly and generous
view that the movement was one of
necessary progress. More than
hundred names are now on the peti-
ton; Is magistrates have pledged
their influence and support; the
commissioner Of roads for the 22nd
civil district, Mr. Tillman, was eager
to sign the petition, and as he signed,
said he knew we'll the needs and
would declare it public road with
out seeing it, when official action
was desired. The Kenton and Obion
authorities have become active and
are confident that their authorities
and public servants will do every
thing in their power to serve them
when they are needed for progress.

itself readily to plant bed purposes.

Efforts are being made to drain
the large artificial lake unhappily
formed by the INSTALLATIONS of the
civil engineer at the lower end of the
south levee and drainage ditch, about
a mile above the forks of the river.
The lake has from 500 to 700 acres
and is from four to Is feet deep. 1t
has caused considerable discomfort
in the community adjacent, because
of its destruction of valuable tim
Der and menace to health. The
flood-gate has turned out to be val
ueless. The concensus of opinion is
that the lake can only be eliminated
permanently by extending the ditch
the remaining mile to the forks of
the river, where it will empty into
the very large south fork ditch that
begins soon, thus insuring contin-
uous drainage.
