So that's all over and forgotten"
Being equipped only with the
slow going mental processes of mere
man, Carrick was somewhat dazed
by this information. For weeks he
had been preparing himself to take
the enemy's Notifications by storm.
To find that there was to be no war
was surprising, to say the least.

"Yes."

"I suppose So"
''Then," said Carrick, with ra-
diant smile and CLINT of determi-
nation in his eye, "we shall take up
the billiard lesson-and something
else" Miss Welland chose to ig-
more the remark.
"First we will send the balls to
the lower cushion to see who gets
the first shot. That is a bank"
"What funny namep

is usually applied to the edges Of a
river; also," with sidewise glance,
"to institutions where young men
who are contemplating matrimony
hoard up their money"
Hadn't we better join the 9TH

emily.
3No; they said they'd be back for

"O-oh! 1 missed that one" said
the girl presently.

rested on the cue.
'1sn't billiards very difficult to

"Why?"

It came Carrick's shot. The
balls had stopped in the form Of a

him the billiard. Miss Carrick ap-

''That being my ball." expounded
the teacher, ''the same forces act
upon it as act on me. A magnet has
been drawing me for about two
years now.' And doesn't the red
ball remind you of some one? See
how closely it has stayed near your
ball since we've been playing"
"Why shouldn't it?" queried Miss
Welland saucily as she shot and
missed. "And, anyway, resemblances
have nothing to do with the game.
You're teaching me billiards, re-
member"
"Billiards-and something else,"'
said Carick. "See how the red

His ball clicked Miss Welland's
cue ball gently and doubled the
corner just in time to be stopped by
it. They met square on it's return
from the cushion and stopped, few
inches apart.
"See how near they are" said
Carrick-"no chance for a misun-
derstanding, no opportunity for
theater tickets to get lost en- route
from one to the other. The red ball
is the length of their world away.
That's the way they belong, side by

Lamps Guide to Heaven.

Suspended from tall roles that
are to be found on the banks OF
rivers in China are quaint lanterns
that sway back and forth in the
wind, adding picturesque touch to
the landscape by day and weird illu-
mination by night, says Popular
Mechanics. Each of these lanterns
has been placed by relatives Of some
person who has been drowned In the

spirit of the deceased may see the
light as il journeys in search OF

Torpedoes.

1t costs between $500 and 81, 100
to fire one of our largest guns. The
average cost Of torpedo is 81 a
pound, and the usual weight OF the
kind in use by submarines is about
5000 pounds. In a torpedo the
charge cone" at the apex usually
contains moist guncotton, in which
is placed a tube of dry guncotton
furnished with a Illuminating cap
preceded by a plunger, and when
the plunger strikes a solid object it
explodes the charge. The latest
models contain more than 225
pounds of guncotton or some other
powerful explosive.

nivps its tone to the whole life.

Electricity For
Five Cents a Day.

1t is impossible, of course, to
say definitely just what Delco-
Digit will cost to operate. This
will vary with the amount Of cur
rent used and some people use
more than others.
But we are able to state the
usual cost on the average farm.
This is about five cents a day,
and can be verified by asking any
Delco-Light user in this county.
Can you imagine anything else
that you could buy for five cents
a day that would give you any
thing like as much comfort or
help you half as much in your
work?

THE CAT HASN'T COME BACK

When L. A. Pinholster's wife went
away for a visit at Loughman, Pin
holster undertook to do the cooking
for himself and the cat. The happy
little family got along nicely until
the first meal was served. Pin doesn't
claim to be an expert chef. He is
somewhat better at running cigar
factory. Even at that, he might have
gotten by with it had it not been for
the cat, which was used to better
things. When Pussy examined the
food she seemed perplexed. Perplex-
ity deepened into disgust, and, cast
ing one long, sorrowful look at the old
home, she quilted the premises and
took refuge under the caves of a
neighboring roof.
On hearing Mrs. Pinholster's voice
this morning, the cat climbed up on
the roof of it's new home to reconnoi-
ter, and as soon as it learns definitely
that the old order of things has been
re-established it will probably answer
the first call to dinner.

MAN-PoWER TO BE INCREASED
Places of Men to Be Filled by Ener-
getic Women.

Florida is about to see great
change in many of its mercantile es-
Establishments, as we'll as in the stands.
From now on the government expects
every man to do his duty in the war
work, and they do not expect any man
of military age to hold position
which woman can hold, during the
duration of the war. For this reason,
Robert Gamble, Florida director, u. S.
public service reserve, is notifying the
various people through the state,
such as office buildings, department
stores, and other large institutions, to
replace their man-labor as quickly, as
possible with women-labor. Elevators
in-the large Office buildings of Jack
sonville are now being manned by
girls. As you enter some of the res
taurants, you will be greeted by a
smiling girl waitress and very short
ly every job of that nature will be
held by the fair sex.
The call for labor is so great that
the state advisory. labor board. rcnre-
senting the us. department of labor,
is about to issue an order making it
necessary for every restaurant and
hotel to release their nnan-labor, art
for every public chauffeur, yard-nan,
butler, and men in this class of war
work, Immediately to secure positions
in war work
Mr.. Gamble, in talking this situation
over, states that the new draft law
will be in effect within a very few
weeks anyway, and that the business
men might as well prepare right now
for the change that is coming. The
government quota of unskilled labor,
which they expect to take from this
state during the months of August
and September was' estimated at q
$40, but wire just received by Mr..
Gamble increases this amount.
The "work or fight" order is being
enforced and the government inspect
ors are now starting to take Mr.
Stacker and Mr.. Loafer, and send
them to the front and put him where
they can do their families and the

"BLIMPS''
YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THEM?


An American Balloon Base in Eng
land, July 31.-(Correspondence of
The Associated Press. THE "Blimp"
is the nickname which the American
pilots have given to the little dirigible
airships which are technically termed
IS. 81, or submarine scouts.
The gas bag of the Blimp is about
$50 feet long and 80 feet in diameter.
The lower structure is virtually that
Of a scouting airplane of medium pow
er, so that the whole effect is that of
a cross between airpiane and balloon.
The crew is usually one pilot and an
observer, and the speed is about 40
miles an hour.
The cargo is a load of bombs which
work like destroyer's depth charges,
exploding by water pressure at a
depth of 20 to 80 feet. The carriage
contains steering gear, bomb levers,
wireless apparatus, camera and obser-
walton instruments.
Hundreds of Blimps are constantly
on duty around the coasts of France
and England. American pilots and
observers are just beginning to take
up this work It is the greatest u
boat destroyer in existence, if the men
who work the Blimps are to be be-
lieved. One enthusiastic American
pilot who had been dropping bombs
up and down the Irish sea for month
remarked to the Associated Press cor
respondent, "The Blimp is not only
one of the ways of destroying u
boats; it is the way"
The advantage that the Blimp has
over the seaplane is that it can stand
still in the air. If a U-boat dives
down and lies out of sight on the bot
tom, the Blimp sits over it until it
decides to move on or come to the
surface. If the submarine edoes not
move, the Blimp is just as we'll con-
tent, for in the meantime the wireless
has been at work, and trawlers are
coming up in the course of an hour or
two with the necessary equipment to
smoke Mister Submarine out of his
hole.
Ii the submarine rises before naval
help arrives, the Blimp tackles it
alone, with bombs. If the submarine
tries to move away along the bottom
of the sea, the Blimp follows its shad-
ow until it comes, sooner or later, to
a shallow spot where it can be effect
lively dealt with.
Subject to the Blimp's fuel supply
and its duration power in the air,
There is little chance of escape for a
iU-boat once it has been sighted by
one of these handy little dirigibles.
+! The sighting or spotting of the u
boats is the greatest difficulty, for
the seas around England are large
places and the range of the individual
Blimp is comparatively small.
| A larger type of Blimp is now being
used, known technically as the c. p,
or coast patrol. 1t carries larger
crew and greater supply of fuel and
lis used for detecting mine-felds as
well as submarines.

is i'll, today powerless. If left to her
fate, the Germans will obtain full con-
troll of her. But the consolidation of
Russia is possible. That depends en-
tirely on the good will of the allies.
Russia needs effective, firm, friendly
help, for today she is, herself, COM
pletely helpless. Russia needs order,
which today the Russians are incapa-
BILE of upbuilding. The Russians are
exhausted; they now have lost faith
in themselves, and they need rest to

real strength Of Russia, will extend

assistance in this task; all of our boys
have learned Russian in the four years
of war, and know how to treat the
people. They know the Russian peo-
pie and the Russian situation, and
they desire only the good of Russia.
1t was the Czecho- -Slovaks, who were
always accused of exaggerated Russo
philism by the Germans and Magyars,
and it is the irony of fate that we
had to suffer so much in Russia. We
hope and desire that our sacrifices be

A CONTRAST IN PRICES

Financial America points out re-
markable contrast in prices that our

ties as against the charges that are

foresight Of Quartarmaster General

in France, permitting the American
soldiers 10 satisfy desires for more
