AGAIN IN CHARGE.

) Many people insist that the Ninth
District is the best organized Of any
group Of states. Results seem to prove
it. The active workers in the Third
Liberty Loan campaign numbered oter
thirty thousand out Of little more
than million people. ,1e
The men responsible to Washington,
the officers of the Northwest's finan-
cial army. are not taking the credit.
They only directed this great terri.
tory's patriotic energies. .s y
There have to be officers, however,
and everyone should know who they
are. The men and women who led to
victory in the Third Loan will be In
charge during the Fourth campaign,

oId-Time Barley Bread.

We find more entertainment than in
structiOn in an editorial of the Hart
ford Courant on the revised use Of
barley. 1t refers to its use in Bible
times and finds this verse in the Book
Of Judges to give an idea Of it's quail
ity: .....
"And when Gideon was come, be-
hold there was a man that told, a
dream unto his fellow, and said, Be-
hold, dreamed dream, and To-, a
cake Of barley bread tumbled into the
host of indian and came unto q tent
and smote it that it fell and over
turned it, that the tent lay along"
The COurant seems to approve Of
the use of barley flour, though admit
ting some difficulties in preparing it
for bread. But 1t takes this Bible
verse as evidence that its density
would make 1t serviceable as pro-
jectile.-Waterbury American.

THROUGH WILDs OF AFRICA
Plenty Of Excitement In Motorar
Trip Recently Undertaken ~
. Lover Of Adventure.

To travel 1900 miles overland in q
motorcar through the wilds Of South
Africa without a mishap Is considered
a remarkable accomplishment. accord
ing to story IN African Motor Of
johannesburg.
In this article r. Asher of Port Eliz-
abeth tells of a successful trip. "The
roads in this country are VIGOROUSLY
bad, which makes the feat performed
by the car the more striking" says Mr..
Asher. -
The journey took him through Ora.
Jamestown, City of the Saints, Fort
Beaufort and through Bedford, a ,typi-
cal inland city. and many. Of the larger
settlements. ~
In spite Of transforms and almost
impossible roads no difficulty was ex-
perienced throughout the whole trip
aside from tire trouble. Some portions
OF the journey were made at the rate
Of 81 miles per imperial gallon Of
gasoline.
Parts Of the journey through Mon.
tagu pass and Kyshna hills had to be
negotiated in second speed. yet through
all of this mountainous travel the re-
narkable feature was the GOODNESS q
the motor. Mr.. Asher reported that
no water was put in the radiator from
Oudtshoorn to Port Elizabeth, which
are at opposite sides Of this billy coun-
try.
Describing parts Of the trip and com.
menting upon the appalling road con-
ditions in places, Mr.. Asher says that
after plugging and struggling through
almost impossible roads, river was
encountered which had to be f0rded.
1t was necessary to take the plunge
with the car into swift torrent. 80
deep that he could not open the car
door. The radiator was partly sub.
merged, but the car plowed through
successfully.

Before this high-school graduate of
unusual accomplishments obtained her
present position Of indoor mechanic,
she proved herself as efficient as the
men in doing line work, climbing poles
and replacing wires as readily as any
of them, says Popular Mechanics, in
describing her attachments.
But for the war and the shortage of
men having mechanical experience, she
probably would not be filing d mans

However, being fond Of mechanics
and having knowledge Of electricity,
she intends to remain at her post until
