The chancellor told the reichstas
he had addressed his note to the

cause Mr. Wilson in his message TO
congress on Jan. $, 1918, and in his
later ploulamauaas, particularly his
New York speech ON sept. - had
proposed program for a general

could accept as basis for nesoLla-
tiyna The chancellor said:

SO lar as | am personally con
cerned, in earlier speeches to other
assgmblages my hearers will testify
that the conception which ] hold Of
a future peace has undergone no
change since l was entrusted with
the leadership OF the empire affairs.
81 see, hence, no distinction what
ever between the national and inter-
national mandates Of duty in respect
of peace. For me the deciding factor
is solely that all participants shall
with equal honesty acknowledge these
mandates as binding and respect
Them as in the case with me and
with other members Of our new gov
eminent.

ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE
From Attempt to Relieve an
Embarrassing Situation.

The conversation In the lobby Of q
Washington club turned to the way In
which we occasionally sink deeper and
deeper trying TO extricate ourselves,
when Senator William p. Dillingham; Of
Vermont recalled little incident along
that line.
One Of the features of an entertain
ment that was given for charity some
time since was vocal selection by a
woman. Midway In the audience q
meek-looking little man listened at
tentively.
THAT Is the most atrocious singing

the meek little man. II wonder who

"She is my wife," was the startling
rejoinder Of the meek little man.
"Oh, beg your pardon!'' responded

may lie with the music, which is really
barbarous. Have you any idea who
composed it?'
"Yes, madam" replied the other, ad-
ministering yet more embarrassment.

NOT BOTHERED BY WORRY
Trouble In Colered Mans Case Most
Certainly Did Not Induce
Insomnia.

Representative Carter OF Oklahoma
was telling some of HIS colleagues in
the cloakroom Of the house the other
DAY story OF negro In his state who,
under persuasion perhaps, had for
saken the Republican party and cast
his fortunes with the Democrats, says
the Washington Post. He gained To-
cal reputation and soon his former as
sociates In the old organization began
to talk among themselves. Finally they
determined to get the deserter back, If
possible. A committee went to the re-
calcitrant and urged him to come back,
but the Democrat was stubborn.
well, II you don't give up the Dem
ocrats we're goin' to tie your hands
and feet, put gag in your mouth and
take you down to the old cave you
know about and drop you In" they
threatened.
The threat had its effect to the ex-
told white friend, lawyer. of what
he had been told.
Don't pay any attention to Them"
advised the lawyer. "They wouldn't
attempt anything like that"
But the negro wasn't satisfied. He
continued talking about what his
brethren were going to do to him.
IF they were to do anything like
that" said the lawyer, "they would be
arrested and If you should be found
dead they would be hanged"
That's all right" said the negro,
but 1t wouldn't do me no good to have
EN- hanging If / was dead"
II knew there had been something
wrong with you." said the lawyer Il

Old "Ohio Company"

The so-called "Ohio company" OF
early times was organized in Boston
In 1856 for the purpose of buying gov
eminent land and founding settle
ment northwest of the Ohio river. In
1857 Its agenH contracted with con-
gress for 1,5O0000 acres Of land and
obtained an option for 100000 acres.
Inc company founded the town Of
Marietta, o., which became an early
center of New England influence in
the Northwest. The contract made by
the Ohio company contained the first
national land grant for university.

The Day and the Work.

To each man is given a day and his
work for the day;
And once and no more. he is given to
travel this way.
And woe if he flies from the task,
whatever the odds;
For the task is appointed to him on
the scroll of the gods.
There is waiting work where only his
hands can avail;
And so, if he falters. a chord in the
music will fail.
He may laugh to the sky, he may lie
for an hour in the sun:
But he dares not go hence till the labor
appointed is done.
To each man is given marble to carve
for the walls
A stone that is needed to heighten the
beauty of all;
And only his soul has the magic to give
it grace;
And only his hands the cunning to put
it in place.
Yes, the task is given to each man, nc
other can do;
So the errand is waiting; it has waited
through ages for you,
And now you appear; and the hushed
ones are turning their gaze
To see what you do with your chanc,

Fish Wear Out BRIDGE piles.

Of County Surveyor Frank Haycock Of
Hennepin county, New York. says that
fish have butted and rubbed up against
the piles Of the bridge at Orono. Lake

become weakened, necessitating its
closing.
Shafer and Edward Terrell, another
deputy, were sent out to inspect the
span.
Yes, SIR" said Shafer. "those fish
kept on butting up against that pier
until the wood was almost worn away.
In order to get there we had to pound
the water around the place to keep the
finny things away until we could finish
our inspection.
"Why, those fish are so numerous at
MinnetOnka this year that they get
pushed through the narrow passage SO
swift that they simply wear out the

Old Ways Of Telling Time.

In remote ages the Japanese and
Chinese used a knotted wick to record
time, two feet in length. The wick
burned slowly and each knot recorded
an hour. Philippi Ii of Spain is said
to have used an oil lamp for the same
purpose. The Oil was contained in
a glass receptacle, on which was
scale marking the hours from four in
the afternoon to eight the next morn
ing, and the height Of the liquid upon
the scale would show the time. A II
inch candle, of which three inches
would burn away in an hour, is sup
posed to have been used by King AL

On Patrol in No Mans Land.

Five men over the parapet with a one
star loot in charge,
Stumbling along through the litter and
muck and curslng blind and large,
Hooking their gear in the clutching wire
as the wriggle through the gap,
For an hours patrol in No Mans Land,
and take what chance may hap.
Over the sodden parapet and through the
rusty wire,
Out of touch with all good things, fell
lowship, light and fire;
Every gathering buly-tin Judas as we
pass,
At every star shell, face to earth upon
the sodden grass.
From Misery Farm to Seven Trees it's
safe enough to go,
But it's belly-crawl down Dead Mans
Ditch half choked with grimy snow,
Then back beside the grass-grown road
Watch out! They've got it set!

It's little things make Paradise-like
three hours rest well earned,
A fire of coke in battered pail, and a
gulp of ration rum,

And the whole trench swimming in blood

HEGARI KAEIR

'"Dwarf hegari kafr was introduc-
ed into the United States from the
Sudan regions of Africa in 1908,"
says Professor M. A. Betson of the
Department of Agromony at Okla
homa A. and M. College, Saltwater.
1t is native in the same part of Sudan
as feterita.
"The dwarf strain was obtained
by selection at the Chillicothe, Tex
as, field station, and this selection
was given the name of "dwarf hega-
ri' in order to distinguish it from
black-hulled white kafir, which it re-
sembles a great deal although the
heads are larger. The leaves are nu-
merous and much like kafir, and it
bears a uniform upright seed head
similar to kafr. The seed is trifie
larger than black-hulled kafir, about
intermediate between kafir and fet-
erita seed in size and hardness.
dwarf hegari under ordinary con-
ditions grows to a height Of a to An
feet and measures from IS to loo
heads. It is quite drouth-resistant
and some years at the Oklahoma
Station it has out-yielded any of our
grain sorghums, while in other years
it falls far below in yield. From
present indications there will be 9
place for it as a catch and suer feed
crop in years of short seasons"
