 Mrs w. A. Julian left Douglas Fri day for Miami, where she will enter Red Cross nursing service during the epidemic Mrs. Julian is one of the first married nurses in the city who have given up the comforts of their home, and entered the service of their profession. It is a patriotic duty that is beng impressed on all women at this time, and much credit is due the rained nurses who are giving up their home ties for the cause of humanity.
 Herman Milking of Pearce. aged 61 years, died yesterday noon at the Cal umet hospital in Douglas from stOm- ach trouble. Mrs. Milking was with him at the time of his death, and to- day will return to her home to settle her affairs there and then will take the body of her husband to Lowell, Ohio, for burial. Mir.

A number had purchased grapes before the halt was placed on issuing canning sugar permits, since then they had been obliged to complete the operation without sugar Miss Sporleder is an advocate of canning with syrup and is assisting women with the work. Later in the week she will visit many of the smaller cities in the county in the | interest of food demonstration work. An announcement was made in Bis bee last Wednesday by Charles Hol- ger Of the Western Union Telegraph company. that the Douglas telegraph office soon would be moved into the federal building here. Postmaster Hankins said that he knew nothing of such arrangements, but that the gov ernment was doing everything pOssi- ble to bring the postal and telegraph service closer together Night letters that come into Douglas are now deliv- ' tered by postofiice carriers. The mes sages are sent tO the postoffice early in the morning and are delivered as part of the mail. lt is not believed | that any steps will be taken towards | having postal carriers deliver tele- grams.

Here is COW to make the famous, or rather the infamous, cow of the Widow OLeary of Chicago, take second place in the historical rank of cows This is the cow of Lille" She was successfully con cealed by her owner from the Germans during their four years occupation of this city. Name of a nameI What a COW! How patient and cunning and silent she must have been. That she lived underground during this period goes without saying. What lucky cow It is to be doubted if, in all the torn and distracted realm of north ern France if another COW or single pig or horse or goat escaped the lynx eye and clutching hand of the invader. They say that this cow was to be decorated and led forth in triumph to march in the procession that met the British deliverers of the city. We'll why not? This cow was entitled to this place of honor As mascot and standby and a single triumph of the French in all this orgy of loot. thievry and destruc- ton this cow stands alone.

they were mere guesses that nobody
could rely upon. But the feet cor
poration did rely upon them: and
there is no contcmporaneous evidence
justifying the agents present posi-
ton. The letter of the agent trans

of actual contract with the work, in
nowise foreshadows anything except
the normal variations of cost which
might be expected in job of this

600, 900 but no effort was made by the
egent until our investigation to prove
whether prepaid bills were in fact fol-
lowed by actual receipt of the mate

Another fact of strong significance
is that while the contract provided
in express terms that the agents
should keep a detailed plant cost ac-
count and contained very careful pro-
visions defining cost, yet the agent at
an early date took the position that
since the government paid for every
thing that went into Hog Island it
was unnecessary to comply with this
provision Hence, at no stage of the
work since last December could it be

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
ANOTHER SUGGESTION.

The suggestion made in Il former
issue of this paper has met with
approval generally. Judge Graham'.'
letter of endorsement is to be founu
in another column. 1t is suggested in
this letter of Judge Graham's that
the names of the men who died in
camps in this country should be in
cludcd along with those who lost
their lives in France. We offer an
additional suggestion: Build y. NJ.
c. A. hall in honor of the boys Of
Tazcwcll who were called to the
colors, and dedicate "Victory HALF
to the memory of the boys.
Such hall would be perpetuall!
useful and uplifting. A monument
serves It's purpose well, but it,,
utility is limited. 1t is voiceless and
silent, although cloquen; in its silence
but Il hall is perpetually voice-ful
and center Of living moral and
religious influence rallying point
for the young men of future. Taze-
we'll needs such hall, and this
would seem, if ever, propitiou>
time to go after it.
This is a suggest:on-an amend
mcnt-offered to the origina! sug
pestions. What do you think of thu
proposal? Shall it be nionumen. o
Il Memorial Hall?
