The Intcresti1u Loon.

The loor is one of the most heauti. full and graceful of the wild Wates fowl. riyaling the wood duck in the markings of it's plumagc. On the Northern lakes there is no bird tbat can dive quicker or sWra faster. Awk- ward and clumsy on land. but so active aud alert is it in the water that it can dodge bullets. "The loon is q cousin to the bc ger" says John Eur roushs. Tt has the feathers of bird and the fur of an animal, and tho heart of both. It is as quick and cunning as 1t Is bod and rcsolute. When disabled so that it can neither dive nor fly. it Is sad to face it's foe look at him ir tic face with its clear, piercing eye, and fight resolutely till deatr. The gunners say there is something in the wailing, piteous cry, when dying, al. tnost human in its agony.

Why Women Talk,

Men are downtown at their offices all day and have a chance to talk. The women have to stay at home, ana with the exception of the milkman, the sro- cery man, the iceman, the old clothes man, few miscellaneous peddlers and nucksters, and the woman next door, there is nobody to talk to. That is why wife talks her husbands lead off when he comes home at night, Husbands, who through long years of experience, have grown accustomed to this merely answer "hnlh-hmh' with out hearing. Sometimes the wife will catch them unawares and between re- marks will insert a request for S10 to buy new dress with. If the husband from force of habit answers ''hmh- amh," the wife. Of course, gets the gown.~ Cartoons Magazine.

A CURE FOR WORRY.

Be interested in other things be- sides your work that is the best cure for worry.
 Your work is your bread and but ter-but it isn't your soul.
 Especially is interest in other things besides work necessary because it makes the daily grind lighter.
 Some men not only work hard, but they think of their work when they're not working. It also burdens their conversation-they can talk of noth- ing else intelligently.
 Poor human beings. Inefficiency par excellence,
 If they let their minds run into other things when not working they could work better and mind it less. There would be less wear and tear and fewer wrinkles.
 Every man and woman should have a hobby&several of them if possible.
 Our most successful men all have hobbes--from singing church hymns to collecting brica-b -brac
 That's why they exhibit such super for minds while at work.

TIE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
 AND ITS JOURNEY.

Competent authorities believe that the prohibition amendment to the United States constitution will be rat flied by the 3G states required at an earlier date than was anticipated.
 There is a strong probability, pro- pOnents of the national amendment say, that twelve states will have rati- fled it by the end of 1918. These same authorities say that 20 states may ratify the national amendment this year. Should this prove fact, the amendment would be ratified by 1920 It is considered certain that the states already dry will ratfy the na- tional amendment by large majori tics.
 The legislatures of Florida Wyom- ing, Ohio, Minnesota, and Utah will vote OF the amendment this fall Thir- ty-seven state legislatures will meet in regular session next year and will consider the national amendment This year only II legislatures are holding regular sessions.

Francis j. Heney. prosecuting the packers meat trust has been disclos- ing some of the inside history of this monopoly since the war started. The outstanding feature of the letters he has read into the record is that the packers were not working for their health, even in war times.
 No one ever suspected they were in the business for anything else but the money. so that the disclosure of cu- pidity isn't sensational. But what hits the public amidships is the evident proof that the packers were attempt ing to utilize the needs of the army and navy for their own aggrandize ment.
 This is unpardonable, unpatriotic it is a stab in the back of Uncle Sam.
 The domineering efforts of the packers likewise has not set we'll with the common public. It was bad enough to have men formerly aftiliat- ed with the packers to be identified with the food administration, as charged, but the juggling of rules and the clever use of inside information unfairly secured, leaves a sickening taste in the mouth.
 Through devious means control of the cheese market and poultry stor- age business was secured it seems; and persons who had the temeriN to object to the methods were set down as being 'discourteous." Such an epithet, il seems. was threatened to the Kansas City Star and it's owner if that paper did not give the packers due publicity; and most insulting of all curtailment of advertising, ac- cording to published letter, was threatened
 The packers met and voted large sums for special purposes, mostly to domineer certain situations unfairly
 Taken by and large. these men, mere than any other body of indus trial Headers" in America. require absolute curtailment of their power.

George Hamlin, during one of his horseback rides at Lake Placid, came across a solitary old man, who, seated in the doorway of his cabin, was fid- ding away for dear life, quite regard less of such trifling conyentionalities as time and tune. Hamlin listened awhile to the cacophony of sound in amusement and then inquired casually, "How do you tune your yiolin?" The reply came with refreshing ingeniu- ousness: T don't tune it--it don't sound right If I do."

Army Eagles of Napoleon.

Before Napoleon's time it had been the custom eor armies to carry huge, unwieldy flags mounted on poles which. while they afforded rallying point for their corps, also drew the en- emy's fire. Napoleon revived the an' cient symbol of the Caesars. The Ma poleonic eagle itself was 8 inches in height and 3 inches across the wings It stood on a brass block 3 inches square and weighed three and a half pounds. Modern colors, cumbersome as they are, are as nothing compared to the old ones, which were as dit1. cult to hide IS the big drum.

one OF the most sensational chases in
the entire criminal history Of the state.
Over $4,000 worth Of booty was dis
covered when the sheriff and his
deputies finally located the fence

Their assortment of merchandise and
foodstuffs rIvaled those Of the famous
Ali Baba and his Forty Thieves OF

hidden in a Des Moines warehouse
ready to be shipped to North Dakota.
where the gang evidently intended to
open a general merchandise store on a
grand scale.
The gang operated in automobiles
which they stole from farmers and
garages. When captured they had four
machines In their possession.

gang. is now serving time in tho pent-

activities Of the auto bandits. He was
also placed on trial for murder. but
was acquitted Of this charge by a jury

At the trial Garter admitted having
a fake mortgage against the murdsr
