Mexico had a printing press about a
hundred years earlier than the Unit
ed States or, to be exact, in 1887. The
first works printed upon it We're nat
uraly by authors born in Spain who
had come to America. The claim that
the first book by native-bOrn Ameri-
can was written by a Mexican, and
struck from this press, has stood UNI
disputed for many years. Recently
writer Of Santo Domingo has been
brought forward as the first American
author. An article in a recent num-
Der of the new monthly magazine, In
ter-America, presents well docu-
mented discussion Of the relative
claims, in which the author concludes
!, that the. honor still remains with
Mexico.
The first book, In his finding, by a
native American author was printed
by Juan de Leon, In Sevilla, in the
year 1894. There exist copies Of this
priceless edition In the collection Of
the Hispanic Society of America, In
New York, in that Of the Duke de
T'Serclaes in Sevilla.

When Alchemy Flourlshed.

The. cult Of alchemy was at its zenith
during the fourteenth, fifteenth. aid
sixteenth centuries, holding the place
with many that religion did with 9th
ers. People believed implicitly in the
existence Of the philosophers stone,
and pinned their faith to its potency
to an Incredible extent. 1t was, of
course, in the great majority Of cases.
simply a matter of suggestion accept
ed by those who were on the outlook
for the means Of increasing wealth.
And there were many who drew nc
distinction between the philosophers
stone, which was supposed to have
the power of transmitting the base into
the noble metals, and what was called
the elixir of life, a substance which
would promote and preserve health
and increase longevity. Thus the ap,
peal was also made to credulity
through the desire for health and the
fear of disease.

It ruffled the tidy nature Of the
handy man to have tor pull. and jerk
at his door to open it, and then to
have to coax and push to shut it. A
door should fit in its frame, like "a

have been so easy just to plane of

tried Tightening the screws in the

seemed to be nothing to do but re-

Maxims for .Marksmen.

It is strange that the novice will al
most invariably try to hit the bulls
eye Of a swinging target when 1t is at
the center or in the lowest position.
This is decidedly the incorrect meth
cd. The expert knows that the time
to shoot IS at the end Of the swing.
In fact, anyqae will arrive ultimately
at the same conclusion. for little
thought will convince him that tar
get is the more easily hit when at a
standstill, or at the end Of vibra-
ton.
The moving target as rule has the
largest BULBS eye, and is often one OF
the easiest to strike, If you happen
to know how,
Simply aim at the point where the
center Of thestarget stops and wait till
1t returns Then, bling!

SEVEN LOAvEs OF BREAD
FOR EVERY PERSON IN
U. S. SAVED FROM WASTE
Farmers and Threshermen Patrioti-
caIly Respond to Call Of Food
Administration. (,

From information received by the
u. S. Food Administration from the
principal grain growing states, 1t is
now possible to announce with fair &C
curacy the amount Of wheat saved last
harvest by improved methods Of han
ding. According to official calcula-
lions, efforts toward cleaner threshing
saved fully 100000 bushels of wheat
with corresponding savings Of other,
small grain harvested and threshed in
a similar manner. In addition, other
states, though unable to furnish fig
ures, reported greatly reduced harvest
losses.
The figure for wheat alone Is equiv
alent to seven one-pound loaves Of
bread for every person in the United
States and represents food that form
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered to only a slight extent
by poultry and livestock. While OPP
jportunities in this branch of conserva-
ton were large, the quantity Of grain
recovered surpasses early eNpecta-
lions. 1t is noteworthy also that re-
suits were secured principally through
voluntary cooperation. fai,l
Il No conservation measure Of the
Food Administration, it is declared,
has received more wholehearted sup
port than that pledged and rendered
by farmers and tlreshermen toward
reducing grain waste at its source.

Chaplain e. M. chuse, France

Mrs. Joseph Losch has received a
letter from Chaplain Emil M. Chuse,
of the 351st infantry in which he tells
of the last illness and death of her
son, Pvt Joseph Seimer, which oc-
CURED in France. The letter from the
chaplain follows:
My Dear Madam:
Undoubtedly you have been inform
ed by the military authorities of the
death of your son. 1t is not to open
anew the deep wound grief has in
flicted on your heart that am writing
you today, but to offer my personal
sympathy and heartfelt coincidence
with that of the entire officers staff
and all the men of the 351st infantry,
who share with you this heavy burden
of sorrow in this your sad hour OF al
fiction.
Although he did not die in action
on the field of battle or in the trench
es, but with sickness, we all feel that
every military honor was due him, and
therefore he received the very same
burial our greatest heroes would re-
ceive, because he gave the very best
he had and all he could give, his
young life, for the great cause of lib
erty and humanity. His body lay in
state in the chapel at the hospital. his
casket was draped with the American
flag, his comrades escorted and gently
laid him to rest in the beautiful new
cemetery set aside for the American
soldiers and the good French people
have and always will put fresh flowers
on his grave. .
visited your beloved one during
his sickness in the hospital and also
held services in the chapel and at the
grave. You have more reason to be
proud Of than to give yourself up to
undue grief for him. May He who
said greater love than this no man
can have than to lay down his life
for his friends" give you that consO-
lation He alone knows how to give,
may He reward your son and our COM
rade with eternal rest and peace. is
the wish and prayer Of,
Yours faithfully,
Chaplain Chuse,
351st Infantry.

be on the look out We have seen
some air fights nearly every day but
they go so high up you can hardly see
them. We can hear the artillery
pounding away all night and some in
the daytime but not so much. The first
night we went to the front we passed
