the proper response to the needs of the
bows over there 1t will be many months
before the boys abroad will relax from
their duties, and there should be no
letting down here.
The county council of defense will

and means to speed up the drive. A
careful canvass will be made of the lists

already paid One of two methods will
be considered by the council: that of
publishing the names of delinquents and
that of calling upon them to appear be-

from the order received here which for

Friday and Saturday Mrs R. B. Knep-
per, county school superintendent, is in
receipt of a telegram from the state
board of health forbidding this and the
examinations will be indefinitely post
poned. Mrs. Knepper has been besieged
with questions about the opening OF
school, the opinion that schools would
open next Monday having been pretty
we'll formed throughout the county. She
said:
There will be no school next week.
The order from the state board of health
forbidding the holding of the teachers
examination shows that the board does
not intend to permit public gatherings.
If it will not allow the examination to
be held it is certain that it would not
consent to the reopening of schools
All over the state the situation is inn
proving and it is believed that by waiting
another week the danger will be passed
and that schools will probably be ordered
opened a week from next Monday.

LAUDER FAMILY GOES
TO OREGON FOR WINTER

Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Lauder and
daughter Alma left yesterday for Glenn,
Oregon, near which place Miss Lauder
has homestead. They will remain
there four months, at the end of which
time Miss Lauder will be able to make
final proof on her homestead when the
family will probably return to Moscow.
Before leaving Miss Lauder, who is
teacher of Sunday school class in the
Christian church, with her class adopted
a second French orphan and will care
for the little girl, contributing the money
every month that will be needed for her
sustenance. She expressed the belief
that there is greater need now than ever
before for assistance for orphans and
refugees in the stricken countries of
Europe.

Measuring HIoh Temperature.

Tin, which melts at about $50 de-

the measurement of high temperatures
in the same way that mercury, melt
ing at 80 degrees below zero, Is used
for measuring ordinary atmosphere
temperatures. Instead Of being placed
in a glass bulb with closed tube. says
the Nebraska State Journal. the melted
tin is contained In a graphite bulb hav-
ing an open tube, and readings are
made by lowering into the tube a
plunger Of metal with high melting
point. When the plunger touches the
tin, an electric circuit Is closed, Civ

Rubber in India.

In southern India factory at which
high grade rubber is made resembles a
dairy, the milklike appearance of the
iatex adding to this illusion, as well
as the precautions taken to insure alb
solute cleanliness, says the Family
Herald. One of two methods of manu-
facture is generally adopted. If the
estate is young and only few trees
are being tapped the rubber is made
in the form Of biscuits or sheets. The
latex is put into shallow, round dishes
or oblong pans and certain quantity
of acetic acid added to it. This is
the cOagulating agent most generally
used. After standing for some hours
the rubber is found floating on the top
of the dish in white, Spougy clot.
This is removed and washed and rolled
by hand and through a mangle until
clean The biscuits are placed on racks
in a warm room or an artificial dryer
and allowed to remain there until dry.
The finished biscuits are pale amber
coloreI and transparent, and for this
reason are popular on the market.
for their purity and freedom from dirt
can be judged by holding them to the
light and looking through them.

Fly A Clean Flag

This I heard the old flag say
AS l passed it yesterday:
Months ago your friendly hands
Fastened me on slender strands
And with patriotic love
/ Placed me here to wave above
You and yours, heard you say,
On that long departed day;
Flag of all that's true and fine,
Wave above this house of mine;
Be the first at break of day
And the last at night to say
To the world this word Of cheer:
Loyalty abideth here.
Here on every wind that's blown
Ger your portal l have flown;
Rain and snow have battered me,
Storms at night have rattered me;
Dust of street and chimney stack
Day by day have stained me black,
And I've watched you passing Their,
Wondering how much you care.
Have you noticed that your flag
Is today a wind-blown rag?
Has your love SO careless grown
By the long neglect you've shown,
That you never raise your eye
To the symbol that you f1y?"
Flag on which no stain has been,
'Tis my sin that you're unclean,
Then l answered in my shame,
On my head must lie the blame.
Now with patriotic hands
release you from your strands,
And a spotless flag shall fly
Here to greet each passer by.
Nevermore shall flag of mine
Be a sad and sorry sign
Telling all who look above
neglect the thing l love,
But my flag of faith shall be
Fit for every eye to see.

HUMPBACKED MEN IN DEMAND
Afflicton Proved Qualification Where
Strange and Successful Expert
ment Was Tried in Factory.


An unusual advertisement appeared
in a Chicago paper recently, desiring
the services of FIVE humpbacked men.
The explanation of this strange want
is even more interesting than the an
nouncement, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
1t seems that large envelope fac
tory, unable to fill its orders, decided
to work nights as well as days. Long
experience had demonstrated that in
the use of certain machines women
were better operators than men by
reason of their hands being more deli
cate and nimble.
The owner does not believe IN fac
tory work at night for women, and the
men proved clumsy and slow. 1t was
then. he set about to seek men who
were well but physically incapable of
heavy work He decided that hump
backs had the necessary qualifications
of more agile and sensitive touch, and
an actual test proved such to be the
fact Hence the advertisement.
