A SCOUT JOHN PAUL JONES.

The following letter was received
by Scoutmaster o. Z. McMeans Of
Troop No. II of Indianapolis, and is
from one Of his former scouts now In
France:
I'm having a taste of real sailor
life. My first taste was rather dis
neutrality-suspicious. my next
taste was exceedingly salty. This
was when / was doing convoy duty
along the coast, during which we got
sub or two, and finally one morn
Ing just before daylight certain sub
stuck Its periscope above the water,
and the next thing I knew I was fly
Ing toward the briny deep with most
OF the crew. The sub got us that time.
Well, we got out of that, most of us,
but we left mighty good friend and
shipmate of mine, who was lying In his
bunk near where the torpedo got us.
I'VE were picked up. as we had pick
ed up many crew who got the same
as we did.
81. PAUL JONES,
'U. s. s. Garcia ~"
Scout John Paul Jones shows the
same indifference to danger as did the
great American sea fighter of his name.

INCREASED VALUE OF FARMS
Motorcar Opens Every Acre Of Ground
and Brings II Nearer Center
Of Population.

The railroad opened up a few roads,
but the motorcar opens every acre OF
ground and brings 1t nearer the centers
OF population. The prOducts-the
motorcar increased those values still
more by marketing them quicker.
While the telephone put the farm in
communication with the city the motor
car does that and more--it puts the
farmer and his family in physical and
mental communication with the mar
kets and the social life OF the city.

ROADS
WAR DEVELOPING OUR ROADS
One OF Most important Benefits will
Be Distribution Of Farm Products
by Motors.

"One Of the most important benefits
or the war to America Is going to be
the development OF transportation of
farm products to markets by means of
motor trucks" remarked II. G. Watts
OF st. Louis. highway engineer. while
In Washington the other day. 'If any.
one had told US five years ago that mo-
tor vehicles would be utilized for NOV
Ing products and machinery as they
have been used In the last twelve
months, he would have been thought
crazy. yet Charles Schwab, the new
head of the fleet corporation, Is Civ
Ing practical demonstration of how
to do things by transferring large
part of his Office equipment to Phlla-
delphia by motor trucks. The high
ways of the country have been taken
over by the people for hauling goods
which could not be hauled during the
period Of congestion by the railroads.
In the whole history of transportation
the highway has been the patient
drudge, but suddenly the motor truck
has come TO the front and supplied for
the roads what the steam engines sup
ply for the railways, and this has
brought about many new conditions,
which will develop into many other
new and marvellous results.
ITO my mind, the most important
will be the distribution of farm prod
ucts by means OF motor vehicles. We
know that the farmers have always re-
lied upon the railroads for the move
ment of their products long distances.

Loading Eggs Into Motor Trucks.

For the short haul, of course, they util-
lied the wagon and In later years the
automobile. But for hauling any great
quantity of products they relied en-
tirely on the railroads. The employ
ment OF the motor truck has demon
strated It's prncticality, and hereafter
when things become normal we shall
see thousands of great motor vehicles
hauling farm products to market. II
Is going to result, moreover, In won
derful Improvement of the roads all
through this country"

SOLUTION OF ROAD PROBLEM

Roads must be built TO suit the en-.
vironment-both physical and finan-
clal. Earth roads are the only ones
some communities can afford, while
other sections may require gravel or
broken stone surfaces. But wherever
the traffic will warrant the expense, an
economically designed and carefully
constructed harj-surfaced highway is
the only satisfactory solution of the

U. S. TRANSPORT FIRES
ON U-BOAT OFF JERSEY
Captain of Steamer Witnessed Battle
Survivors of American Ship
Pinar Del Rio Reach Norfolk.

An Atlantic Port, June 1l.-An
American transport fired five shots at
a German submarine rs miles off the
Jersey coast, with unknown results,
according to information brught mere
by the captain of a Brazilian steam
ship. A freight ship, bound north
from q South American port, sighted
the submarine. Immediately full speed
ahead was ordered, and the vessel zig
Jagged. A few minutes later vessel
in the distance, which later was ldentl-
fed as a United States army trans
port. opened fire on the submarine.
Two shots were heard, followed almost
Immediately by three others. The SUD-
marine was too far away, the South
American captain said, for him to tell
whether any of the shots took effect.
He also said that he thought the trans
port was too far from the submarine
for the latter to try hit with tor
pedo. The freighter continued its
course with all possible speed.
Norfolk, Va, June 11.-SurvlvOrs
from the American freighter Plnar
Del Rio, who arrived here, say the
German submarine that sunk their
ship was accompanied by a mother
ship, a steamer of 5000 tons, paint
ed gray, with one funnel amldshlp.
Sixteen survivors of the crGW OF
the Pinar Del Rio said on their ar
rival at Elizabeth City, n. c., en- route
to Norfolk, that shortly after the sub
marine sent their ship to the bottom,
they witnessed the sinking Of a
schooner few miles away.
AviatOrs landing on the coast are
said to have sighted the two subma-
rines Sunday, out the craft imme-
diately submerged on sighting the air
ships.
An Atlantic Port, June ia Brit,
ish ship captain, who arrived here, re-
ports ramming a Uboat. He says he
was attacked by two of them and gave
battle to both.
An Atlantic Port, June 1O.-The
British transport which was reported
in the New York Times Of May 70 to
have rammed and sunk German sub
marine arrived here with its stem
twisted by the collision. The vessel
was in dry dock to have it's hull in
spected for any damage that might
have been done when it cut through
the U-boat and sent every member OF
the crew to the bottom of the sea.

RUSS CADETS ASK U. S. AID
Appeal From Party Urges America and
Allies to Send Troops to Drive
Out Huns.

Washington, June 12.-An appeal TO
the United States and the allies 10
send an eXpeditiOnary force to Russia
to repel the German invaders, for
warded by the central committee OF
the cadet party in Russia, was trans
mitted to the state department on
Tuesday by the Russian embassy. 1t
is asked that the expedition, if sent,
be put under international control TO
guarantee the rights of Russia.
The cadet party, as it is popularity
called is composed of the constitutions
al democrats who were first in power
after the overthrow of the Romanoff
dynasty. 1t was moved from power
by the bolsheviki.
The message of the constitutional
democrats declares the situation in
which Russia has been placed by the
can be ameliOrated by the active aid
of the allies. The advance of the Ger
mai armies, it is declared, otherwise
cannot be halted.
The appearance of Il strong allied
force In the East, it is declared, will
have a decisive bearing on the issues
of the war and on the conditions of
peace.
Success for allied intervention, the
party says, depends on its form, and if
an expedition is sent it is asked that
every means be taken tc safeguard
Russian interests and rights.

Madison, June 12.-With 1S7,OO9
more acres OF spring wheat growing
than last year, and the entire crop III
better condition, Wisconsin bids talr
to reap a bOuntiful harvest for the
staff of life that the world so greatly
needs in these war times. The joint
crop report of the federal and state
departments Of agriculture made pup
lie brings q generally cheerful mes
sage. Frost damage to winter grain Is
the only hardIuck tale Of the season.
An increase of 12S per cent in the
spring wheat acreage of the state over
1917 is noted, and the report then en-
phaSizes the fact that the total acre
age of winter and spring wheat in WIS
cOnsin estimated at 39S,OOO acres as
against $4,000 acres year ago, is the
largest acreage since 1905. The cOndi-
ton Of spring wheat On June L is re-
ported at 96 per cent of normal, COM
pared to 80 per cent on June L last

a total production of 6,46O,OOO bushels
is fOrecasted, compared to 3,O95,OOO
bushels harvested last year. The con-
ditiOn of winter wheat on June L is
reported at 70 per cent compared to 81
per cent on June l last year and
ten-year average of So per cent. The
total production of winted wheat is
fOrecasted at 100000 bushels. The
total estimated production of all wheat
for the state is estimated at 7,55O,OOO
bushels, compared to 100000 bushels
harvested last year Winter wheat
came through the winter and early
spring in bad shape and has not made
satisfactory progress. Reports from
several thousand individual farms scat
tered throughout the state indicated
that over two farmers out Of every
three are growing wheat this year COM
pared to less than one out of three in
1917 1t is estimated the Oat acreage
of the state has been increased per
cent over last year, being now 2,34O,OOO

duction is placed at 100000 bushels
from an acreage estimated at 426,OOO
acres. Late planted rye is doing
rather poorly; that planted earlier Is
headed out and doing well. All spring
sOwn grains are nearly up to normal.
No damage from rust has yet been re
ported. A bacterial disease affecting
oats has been found in the vicinity of
Madison.

Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought of
it, but this disorder is due to lack OF
moisture in the residual matter of the
food. If you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take lots
of outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely. In
the meantime use the most milo and
gentle laxatives Strong and harsh
cathartics take too much water out of
the system and make bad matter
worse. Chamberlain s Tablets are easy
to take and most agreeable in effect.
Give them q trial.

The Doctor Away From Home
When Most Needed

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family physl-
clan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
pain in the stomach and bowels, colo
and diarrhoea require prompt treat
merit, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned.
The right way is to keep at hand bot
tie of Chamberlain's Collie and Dlar-
rhoea Remedy. No physician can pre-
scribe better medicine for these dis
eases. BY having it 10 the house you
escape much pain and suffering ard all
risk. Buy it now; lit may save lie.

| MISS nobody IS
A CHARMING PLAY
Wins Audience at Crawford
More Than Any Of Its
Predecessors.

Audiences at the Crawford theater
Sunday gave TO Pretty Miss Nobody
more applause than TO any other play
the Emma Bunting company has put
on up to this time. It won the house
because It is a charming love story, a
pretty comedy, admirably presented.
Miss Bunting and her associates have
staged deeper plays here, calling for
greater acting ability but none has
had more power to please an audience.
The story Of an unIettered Cali
fcrnia girl who married into English
aristOcracy and braved the disap-
prOval Of her husbands people. but
left him when she found he had be-
come ashamed Of her lack Of educa-
tion and was reclaimed by him later,
furnishes the foundation for this
clever play.
Miss Bunting, in a grown up girl
part, is even more pretty and charm
ing than in the child roles which she
takes so admirably, and the clever
ness Of her acting is enhanced by
some unusually pretty gowns. George
Whitaker is more than good in his
part as Robert Rowland whom Gussie
stokes (AIiss Bunting) marries, and
Miss Bertha Leigh appears 20 good
advantage as Lady Rowland. Albert
Wees does well as Herbert Van Dyke,
brother OF the heroine.
Very fine scenic effects are obtained
in this play and the staging is uni
formly excellent. Between the third
and fourth acts Of the matinee the
and the audience, its mind reverting
to the world crisis between St Quen-
tin and Arrass sang or Whistled the
great war song Of France H S. II.
