Tit for Tat,

The subject Of the Sunday sermon
at one Of the uptown New York
churches was the duties of the citi-
zen in time of war. The need Of con-
servation of all foodstuffs was en-
phasized, and among the persons who
gave ear was small boy, repete in
Sunday fnery. He sat with his grand
father, a stout, rather red-faced man,
who was obviously devoted to the
youngster. "And at this time" said
the clergyman, in the course Of his
sermon, at is the small sacrifice which
means so much to the good Of the
nation generally. There is shortage
of sugar. Well, let us eat less candy,
FOR instance" The stout man nudged
his grandson. 1T Is time for sober,
clear-headed action on the part Of all, y
continued the clergyman; "and when
there are so many war needs for al
cohol, why, for instance, should any
man now partake Of spirituous
iiquors?" Then the small boy nudged
his grandfather.

Loss IN TRENCHES Ole BULLS COLONY
Norwegian's Dream of Model
Home Now Scene of Ruin.
Recalls Misplaced Confidence and
Made All the More Tragic Because
Of Splendid Ideals.

Only the ruin Of the villa "Valhalla''
remains Of the Inflated Norwegian col
ony established by Ole Bull In Pennsyl-
vania in the late sos. The story Of
the colony, says the Kansas City
Times, is one of misplaced confidence,
made all the more tragic because OF
the splendid ideals that led to it's es-
Establishment.
The great Norwegian violinist, al
ways an admirer Of America, wished
to obtain location for model colony
of his countrymen. He bought thou
sand acres of firm Of land dealers
and soon afterward' brought to this
country several hundred Norwegians.
A clearing was made, the village Of
Oleana built and, in an address to the
townspeople, Ole Bull set forth the
hopes that had inspired his mission.
The address follows:
brothers Of Norway! From the
cline where the north wind has its
home; where the maelstrom roars, and
where the aurora for half the year
takes the place Of the genial sun, we
have come to find a home. When we
were among our mountains, and war
was bringing want and famine upon
us, we heard there was country In q
milder climate where liberty dwelt and
plenty reigned. Upon looking over our
records, we found that our country
men, under Thorfn, had discovered
that land more than eight hundredi
years ago, but that they were met BY
cruel and savage Indians, and had left
no record of themselves, except some
traces OF their sad history engravenl
In the rocks of Fall river, and one tenn
pie which they raised to God on an,
island at the mouth Of Narragansett,
bay. All other record of them had
passed away.
'How different is our reception from
that which Thorfin and his followers
received. No savage Indian startles us
with his war whoop, but kind friends
meet us on every side, taking us by the
hand and giving US welcome to our
new home.
brothers of Norway! We must not,
disappoint this confidence, but by
lives of industry and honesty show to-
our new brothers that they have not
misplaced their friendship.
"And now, to these gentlemen Of
New York and Pennsylvania, who have
SO kindly assisted by their counsel and
advice in this work, return my most
sincere and heartfelt thanks, and cast
ing ourselves upon the goodness Of our
heavenly Father, resting secure upon
his promise, let us 60 on in the daily
performance Of every duty, and he!
will bless u.s."
There was q pathetic aftermath.
Hardly had the pioneers got well un-I
der way with their BODYBUILDING when
1t was discovered that the violinist had
been victimized. The company that
sold him the land had no valid title to
it. The people of Oleana scattered,
some of them penniless and with few
friends in the new country. Ole Bull,
with splendid loyalty to those he had
brought to this pass, gave public con-
certs to raise money for their relief.

Mortality Less Than in Any OF
the Previous Wars.
phvsjcjan Asserts That Disease Is So
Thoroughly Eliminated That .
Sick Man Is a Curiosity.

Renders with relatives and friends
at the front should get considerable
comfort from study of the mortality
statistics of the armies recently put
forward by well-known physician,
London Tit-Bts states. While his fig
given out from Paris indicating that
all kinds Of permanent losses--killed,
captured, missing and disadvantages
gate but 3 per cent per annum OF the
effective forces engaged, they are new
ertheless distinctly encouraging.
He finds that about sixty men per
1000 are being killed and $50 wound
ed and that very large proportion of
the latter return to the trenches. This,
naturally, is not to be compared with
the normal death rate In time Of peace
of men of military age, which Is but
eight per 1000; but 1t is vast i'm
provement upon the showing of any
previous war.
For one thing, disease has been so
thoroughly eliminated that a sick man
la a curiosity. The solder at the front
Ia certainly less liable to attack than
If he were at home. Everything he
eats and drinks and wears, almost
everything he touches, is subject to
the finest medical supervision Of which
science is capable, and If any particu-
lary persistent bacillus We're to get
into his system in spite Of all precau-
lions, 1t would find him in such SUI
perb condition that its work would be
futile. The high commands have thor
oughly learned the lesson that 1t does
not pay to train a man to be a soldier
and then lose him from a cause that
is in the least degree preventative.
BY this same token, experience, both
In the protection Of the soldier and
in the care of the wounded, is stead
lily reducing the death rate as the war
progresses. Not only are new tactics
constantly being developed which re-
suit in loss exposure Of the individual
soldier, but he is constantly being
better equipped with defensive APP
paratus to minimize the effects of bull
let or shrapnel or gas attack. Finally,
from many classes of wounds which
would have spelled probable death in
1914 and certain Gripping in 1915, re-
covery is now almost matter of
course.
The drafted man who goes as an or.
binary soldier, taking his judgment
with him and leaving his excessive en-
fhusiasm behind, has every chance
Of coming back, and in better physical
condition than when he left.

A PacifSt.

The newcomer had hardly seated
himself in the railway compartment
before he began to talk, relates Lon
don Tit-Bits II am q pacif1st," said
he in voice as If he wanted to dis
arm all interruption. IF we can't beat
the enemy in three years it's time we
started waving the olive branch in

Just then severe feminine face
inserted itself at the carriage window.
"Is there John Tamson here? Aye,
there he is. Cam DOT O. that smokin'
carriage, ye heather, before TAX 70

John Tamson left, and the aston

list. It's mair nor three years O. wal
he's had, I'm thinkin'."

Search for Oil In Britain.

Certain eminent American geOlo-
gists, the house of commons was told
lately, hold that it is well worth while
to spend considerable sum of money
In exploring for possible petroleum de-
posts in Great Britain, according to
a London correspondent. The speaker,
spokesman for the board Of trade,
added:
1T is impossible to exaggerate the
Importance Of finding oil in this coun-
try. We cannot yet say that 1t is here,
but it is certainly worth looking for.
"Oil is almost more important at this
moment than anything else. You may
have men, munitions and money, but
IL you have no oil you are without the
greatest motive power we are using"

The Smallest Cartoon.

A certain small boy has drawn q

upon single grain Of corn. He spent
about half hour in doing the work,
for which he used water colors, says
Christian Science Monitor. 1t Is said
that some time ago he drew a similar
picture upon a single grain Of corn
and, upon sending his work to the pres
ident, he received an appreciative ac-
acknowledgement from Washington. This
Is believed to be the smallest cartoon

only about quarter Of an inch in

Concerning the Tussock Moth.

The New York state college Of for
estry at Syracuse has recently sent out
a circular letter to chambers Of COM
merce throughout the state warning
against the ravages Of the tussock
moth, which bid fair to be severe on
shade trees during the next growing
season. The egg masses, which are
white and conspicuous, may be seen
readily at the present time on the
bank Of elms particularly, and these
may be collected and destroyed or
fdaubed with creosote SO that they will
mot hatch. The college in it's letter
shas suggested that local shade tree or
spark commissions take the matter OF
sIestroying the egg masses in hand at
eance and push it vigorously.
