AS Colonel Roosevelt says, the day

Woros yuust give place to deeds
Party politics must give way to

shoot across the Atlantic, so he must
have ships-ships; ships and always
more ships. For a plentiful supply OF
all these things he must look to the

BEFORE DAYS OF PRINTING
People Then Employed TWO Forms of
Writing, the Manuscript and
Cursive Hand.

The differences between script and
print are to be referred to date long
before the invention of printing. We
must not suppose that the ancient
scribes, in writing papers of but tenn
porary value would labor to follow the
same alphabet that theN carver en-
ployed upon the monuments of, stone
destined for all time. AS far back as
records have been preserved there was
In existence cursive style of writing.
Instances have been preserved abun-
dainty in Pompeii of random remarks
by the ordinary citizen scribbling idle
sentiments upon the walls.
The alphabet of the monuments was
commonly the model for the writer's of
formal literature, professional penmen
who looked forward to the library
preservation of the works upon which
they were engaged. Business men used
the cursive script, which was far more
readily and correspondence more rap
idly written. The monumental and
manuscript hand has served as the
parent of the printed letter; the cur
sive hand is the ancestor of penman-
ship.

i. 5. MAY WITHHOLD
GRAIN FROM HOLLAND
PREPARED TO WITHDRAW OF.
FER OF SHIPS FOR TRANSPORT
DUTCH PRESS CRlTlClZES.

Washington. = The United States
is prepared to withdraw its recent Of
fer of three ships to expedite grain
to Holland, If the comment of Dutch
newspapers, accusing the United
States of duplicity in the condition
that equal tonnage should leave Dutch
harbors for America, is to be taken
as indicative of the feeling of The
Netherland government and people.
Officials expressed disappointment
and surprise at the reception accord
ed the offer of the United States,
which vas based on a proposal of the
Dutch government to alleviate suffer
ing from a shortage of breadstuffs.
The offer was supplementary to Presi-
dent Wilson's statement of March 20,
when the Dutch ships were requisi-
toned, that 100000 tons of grain
would be provided for Holland. if
ships were sent to carry it.
If Holland does not desire to take
advantage of the offer to expedite
the grain the original offer to furnish
grain still holds, but the time con-
sumed in sending ships from Holland
to America will delay the relief the
United States is ready to grant
The condition that equal tonnage
should leave Dutch waters for Ameri-
ca when the grain steamers departed
was imposed to prevent an increase
in the size of the fleet tied up in
Dutch ports by the German subma-
rine menace.
The three ships provided for expe-
| diting the grain were taken off inn
portant runs, officials pointed out, and
will have to be returned unless some
use is made of them soon.

ONLY NEED TO CURB WASTE
Writer Points Out Reasons Why 1t is
Not Hard for ,Anferlcan People
to Save, 7i-------------------

do not know Of thing which ev-
eryone of us needs to keep closer to
his consciousness than saving wher-t
ever and whenever possible. What
most of, us are prone to forget is our
greatest assets at this time-the,
amount and extent of what we can,
save. AS people and as individuals we
have been needlessly and disgracefullyI
wasteful, have spent money, food, en-
ergy, productivity, simply because we.
were too lazy and Indifferent to get no.
more than we needed to satisfy our
reasonable desires. Seriously, that
past wastefulness is just now about,
our greatest asset We can save what;
we must without involving a degree Of
real sacrifice which the French, Bel,
gian, and English people had at once
to face. AS I look upon 1t, saving at al
real cost to ones comfort, ideals, and,
perhaps health Is not an easy thing
though very fine one. But saving for
such easy-going reckless-spending peo-l
pie as we have been, means so littlel
sacrifice Of anything necessary orr
worth while that man or woman will
be some sort of yellow cur or name-l
less pup not to do his or her utmost
every day and every hour to save, save,

Use of Cardui, the Woman's
Tonic, Says Texas Lady.

Kemp, Texas.-Mrs. Minnie Cheek Of

In my sides land couldn't stand on

work, only what had to be done. I

of Cardui, so I decided to try it. When

coconuts Make Good Mock Pearls.

The cOcOnuts of the Malay PENN
sula sometimes produce pearls that
are highly priced by the natives, says
the Family Herald. The stones are
not unlike the pearls of the mollusks
and are similar in composition to the
oyster pearls, having calcium carbon
ate and little organic matter.
The mollusk pearl comes into exist
ence by the efforts of the oyster to dis
pose of irritating particles that have
entered the shell; but the coconut
could have no cause for producing
these concretions, which, while they
have great similarity to pearl are not
pearls. These concretions form just
beneath the stem, and pure white
pearl brings high price, as it is sup
posed by the natives to possess some
kind of a charm. Cases have been
known where the coconut pearl has
been sold as mollusk product, but
such instances are rare.

Fuel Problem in China.

Mrs. Calvin Wright, a missionary at
Tangehowfu, tells of famine conditions
in China. She writes, according to the
Christian World: Between us and
the sea is a field of the tall grain we
call gaoliang, which has been almost
completely stripped of its leaves by
the poor of the city, trying to find
fuel for their kitchen fires. When we
cut our millet the poor came out in
families and the hired reapers seemed
to take them all for Ruths, for each
woman and child had .handfuls of pur-
pose and went away with baskets and
armfulS of grain. 1t seemed a pity to
stop them, but the memory of 100
mouths to feed led us to send them
word to wait until the reapers were
done SO the cleaners sat in groups
among the graves or by the roadside
and waited. When the last stalk was
cut and carried off they bounced upon
the land and raked it bare. We had
our lawn cleared of wild grass for
nothing, as the cleaners were only too
glad to pull up the roots for fuel"

New York. = The entire allied line
in France and Flanders still stands
firmly. Nowhere have the Germans
been able to make a further dent
in it. Hard fighting has been in pro-
gress on the Ypres sector around
Voormezeele and to the south at Loo
re. Both places have several times
changed hands, but at last reports
Voormezeele had been reGaptured by
the British but the Germans had OBJ
tanned another foothold in Locre.
Voormezeele was taken by the Ger
mans, but the British, in a night at
tack, won it back and since have held
it, inficting heavy casualties on the
Germans in renewed efforts to take
the place.
The Germans have tried at several
points along the front held by the
French to pierce the line but every
where have been repulsed, notably in
the st. Mihiel and Luneyille sectors,
where recently American troops were
stationed. Whether the Americans
again came into combat with the enc
my was not vouchsafed by the French
official communication.
AS a whole, there is no material
change in the situation along the en-
tire front and it is not evident that
the Germans are prepared at present
to resume the offensive, which has
cost them so dearly in men kill ed,
wounded or made prisoner Reports
coming by way of London are to the
effect that in Germany there is much
perturbation over the inability of the
Teutons to pierce the allies line and
nervousness and depression over the
losses the Germans have suffered.
Likewise in Macedonia comparative
quiet prevails, although there has
been considerable Smelling of opposing
positions by the artilleries and aerial
bombing craft. Near Veternik the
Serbians carried out successful at
tack against the Bulgarians and ami
hilated the section they held.
Nothing new has come through
either in the way of confirmation or
denial of the reports in circulation
that a counter-revolution had broken
out in Petrograd and that Grand Duke
Alexis Nickolaivitch had been pro-
claimed emperor of Russia.

TWO LEGENDS ABOUT RIVER
Both Concern Arizona Stream, but
Only One Is Really Popular
in the State.

The Hassayampa is an Arizona
river which stands for the spirit of his
native desert to the son of western
| Arizona. There are two legends con-
nected with the waters of Hassay-
ampa one subscribed to by natives and
| the other by irreyerent aliens. Both
| parties agree that the waters of this
desert stream have powers surprising
the normal.
According to the native of Arizona,
whatsoever shall taste the waters of
Hassayampa is thenceforWard bound
| to the Arizona desert by ties stronger
| than bonds of steel Drink once of the
magic current, and You must inevitably
return to drink again. Wherever you
may wander, in sonic quiet hour you
will hear the Hassayampa calling, and
whether you are in Cape Town or
Hongkong or Port Said, you will forth
with take ship on the trail of another
drink. That is why the Arizonians in
foreign states and lands frequently
band themselves into clubs called Has
sayampa.
convince the unprecedented stranger
that some magic power must reside
In the waters. Otherwise nobody would
want second drink.
The other legend of the Hassayampa
is more often retailed by aliens, though
occasionally a native will admit it's
prevalence and the existence Of a GER
tain amount of corroborative evidence.
This legend affirms that whatsoever
takes drink Of Hassayampa water is
thenceforward utterly and constitu-
tionally incapable of telling the truth
on any important matter. SO firmly
established did this belief become that
at one period of Arizona history, in
stead of applying the short and ugly
term to a man, they called him Has
sayampa," which is a term certainly
long and in the opinion Of some per-
sons beautiful.-Chicago News.

all internationalists, whose aim is
preparation for a social revolution in

had been received that war prisoners
in Siberia were forming revolutionary
committees and stripping their Off
GERS of rank, that prisoners commit
tees at Omsk had decided to seize the
Trans-Siberian Railway station to pre-
vent the return of prisoners to Ger

would be undertaken by the congress

urgently demanded disarming of the
Omsk prisoners, the placing Of Rus

segregation of Germans and Aus

urn of prisoners from Siberia and ac-
ton by the Russian government to
prevent the meeting of the Moscow
