ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 30.-Presi- dent Wilson lent hand today in driv- ing a rivet in the keel of what will be the steamer Gunston Hall, 9.400 ton freighter for the shipping board.
 Mrs. Wilson also played part in the keel laying guiding the last vertical plate into position and naming the ship as she did so
 T haven't got my union card, but l guess it's all right" laughed the presi- dent as he clapped a sturdy workman on the shoulder after the white hot end of the rivet had been beaten to a round head, neatly wedged against the keel plate.
 Pretty fair work" commented the shipbuilder with a grin.
 A great crowd saw the beginning of the first ship to be built in Alexandria since the days when four masters flourished on the Potomac and Chesa- pcakc bay.
 President Takes Orders
 Robert Mooney. rivet foreman. placed the heavy pneumatic hammer in posi- ton against the rivet head and William Smms on the other side of the plate leaned his weight against the holder on hammer President Wilson then slowly pressed down the trigger of the riveter.
 'Rat-tat tat sang the hammer piston. driven with tremendous force Suddenly the noise ceased. The jarrinp had shaken the presidents finger loose. Keep on" Mooney ordered sharply. fearing the rivet would coo before the job was finished.
 Again the president pressed the trigger and as Mooney guided the gun around the edge. the rivet was beater cleanly 10 a button like head, guaran. tced to hold in all kinds of seas

From the number of substitutes,
battalion sergent-majors, intelligence
section aids, and many more who
turned runners through those sleepless
days and nights, you can guess how
many Of the regular groups, with the
red bands on their sleeves, fell by the

IS Running His Last Race.
Many caught up a message and
went on with it, though they knew it
had fallen to them because the others
who had tried were dead. Many got
all the way, though they were shot
as they ran. One private, with a hole
in his abdomen, held his hand over
that and somehow carried his message
the last eighth of a mile across field
that the German guns were blasting.

having their highest combatant quail

irrile eagerness, their gallant spirit of

all who see them in action. They have
not only the distinction Of serving IN

records in civil and in industrial life,

Stedrns County Farmers
Pass Up Opportunity
to Buy Good Cattle

The first auction sale of strictly
pure bred and registered live stock
ever held in this section took place. at
the o. S. Cass farm one mile south
of Sank Centre Wednesday.
For the past II years Mr.. Cass has
been specializing in pure bred Hol-
stein Ffiessan cattle with the result
that heAhas built up an exceptionally
fine herd. He has decided to give up
active swork on the farm and put
thirty-one registered pure breds and
ten high class grades on the auction
block. The pure breds were descend
ants From the best strains of this
famous breed.
Mr.. Cass advertised the sale extern
sively, even going to the expense of
having pedigrees of his pure breds
printed. Col. James Cook of Lake
Mills, Wis, one of the most famous
live stock auctioneers in that state was
engaged to work with F. E. Minette
in crying the sale. Everything was
set for a monster sale, but the farm
ers of Stearns county evidently did.
not appreciate their opportunity to
get into the pure bred game, as the at
tendance at the sale was very small.
Mr.. Cass had, during the past three
months several opportunities to sell
the entire herd but felt that he would
give his Stearns county neighbors an
opportunity to buy first.
On examining the herd Mr.. Cook,
who is an expert, pronounced it one
of the best he had seen and was sur
prised at the splendid condition of the
cattle. Although the crowd was small
over half of the herd was sold at sat-
isfactory prices. Parties are already
figuring on taking the balance at
private sale and Mr.. Cass will UNI
doubtedly clean up within few days.
The gentleman during the past II
years has done much toward increas-
ing the interest in pure bred cattle in
this section.

No Better Security on Earth.

"
The credit of the United States was
80 high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the Spanish war,
2 per cent bonds were offered at par
and oversubscribed. This is inan-
cial performance no other nation has
ever equaled. United States 4 per
cent bonds in 1883 sold as high as 100.
and in 1901 brought 1879 on the stock
market. The Uni ted States has new

Russian Peasants Hard Life.

The whole existence OF the Russian
peasant is out of joint He is born
in a world Of earth and wood. where
his life is circumscribed by a log
cabin that is matched il fall, when it
assumes an appearance of tidiness,
but becomes a huge harp for the
March winds to play their woeful
dirges on. The thatch is fed TO the
few starving animals, and the dis
pensable wooden props and decora-
lions used to cook dinner with long
before the approach Of spring. Here
between the upholstered. undecorated
walls he lives with his horse, his pig,
his hens-always provided he has any
under the same roof, glad of their
sociability and animal warmth, being
much in need of both. His home is
one of the maze of zigzag. lopsided,
weather beaten. broken down izbas
that stand huddled together, freezing
in Gods solemn peacefulness and I'M
canry dreaminess. Enchantingly
idyllic on a canvas, but a dreadful
place to live in.
