@~2IEUTENANT ELY, it is ours reverently to
acknowledge the service you have rendered.
~ To your country and ours, you gave all
you had to give, a life, young and buoyant, offered
when you had but just arrived at life's fullest UNDER
standing-and more than this no man can give.
But in the giving, sir, you gave as well the out
pour of your stout young heart that all of us to
whom you pass along the touch might offer prayer,
and carry on in better understanding of that
ennobled cause for which no sacrifice shall be in vain.
Some of us are far behind the fighting lines of
France today. For circumstance has made two
battle lines, and there must be therefore those gone
to fight, and others kept behind to carry on at home.
But as you say, both lines bring chance for
deeds we'll done, and great investments too.
Little did you know, Lieutenant Ely, when you

JUST WHAT BECAME OF POND
Foolish Questioner, 1t Is to Be Sup
posed, Was Satisfied With Ex-
PLANTATION Offered Him.

Speaking at q dinner, Senator }.
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois referred to
the propensity of some people for ask
ing foolish questions, and told the fol-
lowing story:
One day city man happened in
country community, and while ram
bling around he ran across a depres-
sion in the earth covering several
acres. Some perpleXed, he questioned
a native close by, and was told that
it was the bed of a lost lake.
""You don't really mean it?' returned
the city man. "Whatever became or
all the Water?"
ut was this way" readily explained
the native. "There was picnic out
here last August, and when night came
on they had nearly a barrel of pretzels
left, which they didn't want to cart
back home, so they threw them in the
lake."
eyes, I see" interjected the other as
the native paused, 'but what had that
to do with it,"
'Everything," answered the native.
"The fish ate them, and the salty diet
made them 50 thirsty that they drank
all the water"

The Goose That Walked.

A Canadian soldier, whilst serving
on the western front, received par
Gel containing amongst other eatables,
portions Of a cooked goose as a spe-
cial luxury. BY an error the parcel
was sent on to Italy to another section
Of the same unit. In the fullness OF
time it was returned to France, hav-
ing been some weeks on the trip. The
soldier, writing home recently, said:
81 had a big surprise today :.
for the parcel you posted to me in
November last turned up in great
style, having performed the latter part
Of the journey on foot. When [ sum-
moned up enough courage to open it

and departed at the double.

OLDEST DYNASTY IN WORLD
Distinction Undoubtedly Belongs to the
Re;gning House of Japan-Began
With Emperor Jimmu.

The present japanese dynasty is
by far the oldest in the world, for
Yoshihito claims to be the one hun
dred tWenty-second monarch OF
an unbroken line, dating from the sew
enth century before the Christian era,
says the St Louis Post-Dispatch. The
early history of Nippon, as recordeq
in the holy book, Shinto, begins with
the dynasties of the gods and is wholly
mythical in nature. The dawn OF real
history begins with the reign OF JIM
mu TennO, whose memory is reyereu
today by all the sons of Nippon.
Jimmu the Great forced the savage
tribes to accept civil institutions and
extended his beneficent sway over the
entire country. He established MS
capital at KiOto. He FORMULATED 81 code
of laws, established courts, encouraged
industry, and laid the foundation for
that marvellous advance made by the
japanese during the nineteenth CEN
fury.
The title of mikadO, which means
honorable gate" was derived from
Jimmu. From the days of this ruler

Ancient SOAP Making.

A soap boilers shop was among the
things discovered in the excavation at
Pompeu several years ago. The city
was buried beneath volcanic ashes A.
D. 70. 1t is said that the soap found
in the shop had not lost all efficacy,
although it had lain under the ashes
more than eighteen hundred years.
Soap making was quite business in
a number Of the Italian cities at the
time that Pompeii was destroyed.
Pliny the elder speaks of soap, and
says that because it's price was so
high many substitutes were used,
among them kind of glutinous earth
and fine sand mixed in the juice of
certain plants that made lather. His
tory tells us that the Gauls made soap
two thousand years ago by combining
beech tree ashes and goats fat.

The use of gas In warfare dates back
to about 400 B. c. The Spartans sat
urated wood with pitch and sulphur
and burned it under the walls of cities
which they were attacking. For sew
eral centuries gas has, not been used
In warfare, and The Hague convention
definitely ruled against it. However,
on April %, 1915, the Germans liber
ated great clouds of gas against Cana
dian troops near Ypres. Terrible de-
struction and Generalization resulted
from this first gas attack, and within
week England was making plans for
gas warfare against the Germans.
Soon after the first German gas at
tack English and French women sent
to the front hundreds of thousands Of
homemade gas masks. For the most
part they were merely bandages i'm
pregnated with chemicals to wrap
around the mouth and nose. These
emergency masks saved many lives
but afforded only limited protection.

Washington. = The federal farm
loan board has issued the following
rules for the guidance Of the land
banks In determining what area con-
stitutes farm for loaning purposes:
"First, Generally-The farm must be
Of Sufficient area to yield at the hands
Of an ordinarily capable farmer, put
ting it to the use to which it is gen
orally adapted and using average meth
DDS, an income sufficient to maintain
the family Of the applicant and dis
charge the interest and amortization
payments.
Second, Specially.-Where through
Speciality a sufficient income has been
regularly derived from a tract de-
fcicnt in area for ordinary farming,
or where the application Of the pros
pective borrower shows that he is by
experience capable of producing such
an Income from such a tract, such area
may be accepted as sufficient, prOvid-
ed the land has q stable and perma-
nent market value sufficient to warrant
the loan applied for. This ruling does
not apply to fruit and orchard lands
which have already been the subjects
of definite rulings by this board"
Under the first paragraph of this rul-
ing loans may be made to the ordinary
farmer on the basis Of average skill
and efficiency, and no tract of land
will be accepted as farm eligible for
q loan under the federal farm loan act
unless it is large enough to support
the family and take care Of the loan
under the average farm conditions Of
the neighbOrhOOd
But under the second paragraph Of
the ruling the intensive farmer or the
man who practices q profitable special
ty, or who shows himself able to do
SO, will be given financial support by
the federal loan system, even though
his farm may be too small for ordinary
Farming purposes, provided that the
land quite apart from it's use has a
stable and permanent land value which
will make the loan safe whether it is
well operated, or badly operated, or
not operated at all.
