The war record of the International Typographical Union is hard to beat. No other single organization approaches it for service. Its service flag bears 4OS1 stars and seventy-seven of its members have fallen the fields of France. The Union has just issued the handsomest folder relating to work have yet seen. Into it all the skill and ingenuity of the craft have been thrown. Accompanying it is a card with broad red border in which the figures 4-OS-1 formed of blue stars surrounded by border of seventy seven golden stars.

Let the persons who think wheatless and meatless days are a hardship, lis ten to the venerable men and women whose memory takes them back to the Civil War.
 Roasted barley. parched corn. chick ory roots and even dandelion roots, dried and roasted, were used as coffee substitutes. White or granulated sug- ars were rarity, and only on the table for company. Brown sugar and old fashioned black molasses were used for sweetening. Honey, apple butter, fruit jams and even lard were used as substitutes for butter
 Butter was scarce and dear. for those times, and bread and molasses, bread

KING ALBERT IN WAR
(New York Sun)

People frequently wonder where the King of Belgium is today and how Belgium operates her government with 95 per cent of her population in- termed within the German lines. Ths king of Belgium lives in the open meadows of Belgium, in the middle of about twenty-five square miles of territory still intact. It is a place called Les Moers. That is some fif- teen miles from Dunkirk. His resi- dence, country mansion, resembles Mount Vernon viewed from the west, white. plain, simple. two-story building, with garden in. front well planted with flowers.

A CHESTERFIELD REPORT

The fourth earl of Chesterfield was on one occa- sion at grand assembly in France where Voltaire was one of the guests. Suddenly the French writer accosted his lordshp with the words:

and honey, and even bread and ham fat were considered plenty good enough for all but the very old people. In those days nearly every family in town kept a COW. Those who didn't as rule, went without milk. The paners ot that day emNhasized the fact that coffee and tea were more nutritious when used without milk.

To the Poets

Every newspaper office becomes the recipient at all times of masses of poetry, at least The in undation is greater in war time in any time within which popular sentiment is than ordinarily stirred These contributions commonly and very properly called effusions They flow forth with spontanety.
 Without appearing to encourage quantity pro- iucton of poetry we would offer advice to the newspaper poets Do not the first place. make the poems too long, We have just received consisting thirty quatrains It is that this is only longer than Grays "Elegy,' but it is not quite up to the character of the "Elegy" It is an unfortunate thing, but it is true, regarding poetry .hat as a rule it deteriorates with length. The there is of it, the it is. We do not that It grows worse with length; that is, that the last are than the first though that is often the case. What mean is that length detracts from the effort whole.
 We would offer to the poets the following illus tration of abbreviated verse which have lately written suppose, by bald-hcaded bard:

 We recognize that there some subjects which cannot be treated with much brevity, not to say abruptness, but think of subject except the subject of epic (and in the present status of the print situation do not epics), that could be gracefully stretched to the inordinae length of thirty-thrce verses, half many.
 There is still another thing The ancients adopted the saying "The poet is born not made" that is, in Latin. "Poeta nascitur, fit. There too many of them that are mot fit" (Anglice), but that saying does help much. for the people affected the last to find it out They think to the end of their days that they born Poets are not alone in this respect Some of think born states men. orators, hotelkeepers newspapermen. and gen. erals, and that only deprived of the oppor- tunity of proving our birth
 If these few remarks newspaper poetry may guide to the cargoes of poets into safe, snug, columnar havens we shall feel that We have not lived in vain

brings peace and rest to the soul, and
where suffering is unknown.
Mr.. Quaintance had been in failing
health for the past two or three years,
but for the past three monhs had been
confined to his home, where every
attention that loving hands and medi.
cal skill could suggest, was done for
him, but at his advanced age it was
impossible to combat the inroads
made by illness, and the end came al
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A large concourse of friends attend

afternoon, the service being conduct
ed by Rec. l.. D. Lowe and Rev. w

hymns that he loved, and many beau
tiful flowers, and beautiful tribute
to his life, by Rev. Steinmeyer, were
features of the service.
! Mr.. Quaintance was 73 years o
age at the time of his death, and 70
the past % years he had been a resi-
dent of Lakeland. He was original,
from Ohio. He was very prominen
in church work since early boyhood
and for years had been teacher il

ticularly impressive was his rendi-
ton Of "The Storm" which was his
own composition, and which sent a

so realistic did it prove. AS the num-
Der progressed, the lights were grad

was at its heighth, the church was
in complete darkness, and by a spe-

CLIFTON CASE NOT
TO Be DECIDED
BY GOVERNOR; Will
co TO COURTS

The Board of Public Instruction
received notice from Governor Cats
this week that he is unwilling to
take responsibility of removing Supt.
fClifton from office. He asked Judge
Edwards to call a special term of the
court to try him of the charges now
pending against him, but Judge Ed
wards has found that the Grand
Jury did not get his name right and
The indictment will have to be
amended by the next Grand Jury
before he can be tried. Judge Ed
wards told the Governor this and
he replied that Judge Edwards coula
use his discretion as to calling
Grand Jury now. Thus it seems that
the trial will not take place until
the regular term of the court in the
spring. If he is convinced when he
lis tried, he will be removed from Of
fee automatically and the Governor
thereby relieved of the responsibility
OF deciding the matter.-Fort Meade
Leader.
