WHATS THE.Us

He saved his money years and years
Laid by a tidy sum;
It was his boast he had no fears
OF dining on a crumb.
Some future day he'd start to spend
And go lively gait:
His toilsome thrift would have an end
! He was content to wait.
At last, he cried, ..I'm ready now 81 B.
To lead life of ease; a5
III have fling and keep my vow
Myself alone to please!'' HES
OF pleasure to his lips
No chance he had to tilt 1t up,
He barely got two sips
When Fate set out to prove once more
That she can. be unkind,
And hung some Grape beside his door
He left his pelf behind.

Burn SaWdust.

In some portions Of France where
:oal is so scarce and consequently so
expensive that it is altogether unob-
ta1nable by the poorer class Of people,
sawdust is being used as substitute
according to the Popular Science
Monthly. The sawdust is rammed
down tightly in cylindrical metal
boxes and a few drops Of petroleum
are poured over it. The fire thus made
can be used for cooking and all do
nestle purposes and will burn for sew
eral hours.

Will Soon Have Sea Mastery.

p. g. Grace, president Of the Bethle.
hem Steel corporation, told the 500
guests of the Allentown (Pa.) chamber
of commerce at it's banquet recently
that the submarine destroyers which
the Bethlehem corporation will build
for the government are more than all
of the destroyers now in the world.
Mr.. Grace said he regarded the rapid
construction of destroyers as the solu-
ton of the submarine menace. Beth
lehem plants now employ 10000 men
as compared with 9, 900 five years ago.
Charles N. Schwab, who also spoke,
said that the pay roll Of the Bethlehem
plants Is now 500. OOO, 600 q year.

"I'm sorry she said coldly. Il
didn't think it did," and left the room.
A few minutes later the second girl
flushed up to the roots of her hair.
She flew into the cloakroom, where her
teacher was taking off her things.
"Did you understand me to say that
l thought that your hat looked cheap?'
she demanded.
The teacher nodded, her eyes suspi-
ciously bright. She was young and
had thought that it was a pretty hat,
and she didn't buy hats every few min
utes.
''Why, my dear lady, said 'chique.'"
Whereupon they both wept with re-
lief. "

Welcome Supply Of Potash.

According to the experts of the geo
logical survey and the bureau of mines,
the waters Of Searles lake, in Califor-
MIA, hold in solution 2O,OOO,OOO tons of
potash. That is enough to supply the
needs of the country for commercial
fertilizer for half century or more.
We used to import half million tons
or more of potash year from Ger
many, and as we produce little our
selves the loss of the German supply
has been serious matter for our farm
ers.-Youth's Companion.

Every little while somebody rises, "a
proclaim in loud voice that this OF
that group Of people are not dislova]
and that all statements to the con
trary are false and slanderous.
Particularly vociferous are those
who from time to time proclaim that
the farmers are loyal. IF any person
has at any time asserted, or suggested
or intimated, that the farmers are dis
loyal, we have not been able to come
across anything of the sort in our
reading, nor have we heard that any
such statement has been made from
the public platform, or in any other
way. If such statement has been
made, we have no hesitation in saying
that the person who has made it is a
liar.
The farmers of the country, taking
them as group, are loyal to the
nation. So are the merchants, and the
blacksmiths and the lawyers, and the
plumbers, and the doctors, and the
bankers. The people Of these groups
and of all others engaged in the multi
tude of legitimate activities of the
country have no need to declare their
loyalty by word Of mouth. They have
demonstrated it and are demonstrating
it daily by their acts. Whether on the
farms, in their shops, in the stores, in
the counting houses, or wherever thew
are, they are sending their own flesh
and blood to the front to stem the tide
of tyranny; they are willingly giving
of their substance in support of the
cause of right; they are making sac
rifices and are putting forth valiant ef-
forts. They are doing these things be-
cause they feel themselves to be in
very truth part and parcel of the
great democracy Of the world, and be-
cause they recognize the obligations
which rest upon them. All honor to all
of them.
But the fact that all of these groups
taken as groups, are loyal, does not
change the fact that in each of them
are to be found some who are disloyal
And when there are found those who
place personal ease or private advan-
tage above the duty that honorable
men owe to the world and the race, no
matter what their occupation, they are
disloyal, and all the protestations that
are made in their behalf cannot change
that fact.-Grand Forks, N. D., Her
