Scheme OF Ferdinand.

Car Ferdinands game is believed
to be this;
His armies are shattered. His coun.
try is invaded. The Germans and
Austrians are unable to send effective

desires to get whatever advantages il
is possible to get out of being the
first to desert the sinking ship
And he also desires to start a new
war against his present allies, the
Turks, in the hopes of taking Con
stantinope.
Ferdinand has long treasured the
hope of being crowned at CONSTANT

AN ELEPHANT HUNT.

Elephant hunting, is the most dan
gerous and thrilling sport that know
Of, says W. Robert Foran in The Circle
Magazine, Elephants commonly ira.
vel in HERDS Of several hundred, he
continues, and when nnddened are
the most ferOcious OF beasts.
Two government officials while on
tour'n the kericho district, had their
earasan charged by herd OF 500 Gle
plants. Ii selfdefense they had to
order their native escort to opoA fire
The elephants charged repeatedly, but
eventually were driven Of after hea
Wy iusilade, with a loss OF four killed
and many wounded.
A lucky escape was that of a major
in the Third llussars British army,
who, for several days, had been fol
lowing a small herd of elephants
Through the forests near Mount kenia.
Finding it impossible to get clear
view OF the feeding herd, owing to
the very long grass and Jungle under.
growth, he climbed some 80 feet into
a tree in order to get a good shot at
his selected bull. He was armed with
d 60Urodite rifle, and when he fired
the force Of the explosion was 80
great THAT the major was knocked
clean out Of the tree, and remained
stunned for several minutes at it's
foot. On regaining the use OF his
senses he found that the herd Of Gle
Bbants had Numbered off through the
forest, leaving him unhuit.
A friend OF mine told me OF another
curious experience. He was carefully
stalking a big bull elephant in a large
herd, when they cot his wind and
big COW elephant charged him. ~ Ie
jumped behind a large tree as II III le
phant reached him, and, being unable
TO stop herself in time, the elephant
drove her tusks with such force into
the trunk OF the tree that they SNAP

luckily turned and eallopcd atteh the

posessor OF some 80 pounds Of ivory

Towns Can Help Farmers.

There is an opportunity now for ur-
ban people alphabetically and con-
structively to study the farm-labor sit
uation and to render assistance, said
David f. Houston, secretary Of agri-
culture, in recent statement. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
are able-bodied and who doubtless
would be willing to serve the nation
in the field of agriculture at this time.
Especially for the seasonal strains Of
planting, cultivating and harvesting, 1t
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers in the necessary UNI
dertaking of maintaining and, if posi-
BILE, supplementing, the food supply in
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
If it appears that the farmers Of a
community or region are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods, then the. leaders in the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize, establish
touch with representative farm lead
ers, and see if they cannot assist in
solving the problem. The department
Of agriculture and labor will render
every possible aid, but each community
knows it's own problems, and urban
people, especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.

War Savings and thrIft stamps.
During the mouth of February the
receipts coming into the treasury de-
partment through the sale of War Saw
ings and Thrift stamps totaled $41,-
100000. 1t is reported that they aver
age now about 100000 day. Re
turns from the same source in England
were $37,000,0O0. The War Savings
and Thrift stamps give everyone a
chance to be "in" on the great bust
ness of winning the war. They are
a fine investment and within the reach
of everyone. Congress set $2,OOO,OOO,-
600 as the amount to be raised by this
means for the year. If this amount Is
reached it will cover the entire cost OF
the governments shipbuilding program
for the year. 1t has now from this
source enough revenue daily to build
10000 tons of shipping and altogether
has received to date funds for building
100000 tons, or "a ships of 5000 tons
each.
Our strength in this war has not
made itself felt yet as it will be felt.
Great reserves of it will be forthcom-
ing. We have hardly felt the pinch
of the war yet. In the War Savings
and Thrift stamps we have an opportu-
nifty to all take a hand in building
ships, and they must be built. Be
sides this the Thrift stamps are edu-
eating people, especially young peo-
ple and children, to save and to
use money for investment instead

Let Everybody Do It.

A correspondent of the Minneapolis
Journal writes to say that he has vol
UNFAIRLY reduced his consumption OF
wheat, meat and sugar by 80 per cent
Under compulsion, he says, he would
gladly reduce it by go per cent or even
more, for then he would be assured
that everybody was doing it, whereas
now there is every possibility that
some pro-German or Stacker is COB
bling up or wasting all that he saves
This constant urge to voluntary sacri'
fee places all the sacrifice upon the
good citizen, while the unpatriotic citi
zen goes free. The principle is undemo
cratic; which is to say that in a demo
cratic country it is entirely wrong
Only through compulsion in food con
servation can justice be done to the
sacrificing patriot.-Winnipeg Tele-

Men and BOYS First!

The farmers will need human help
to handle and harvest the vast acre
ages needed to produce enough bread
for the nation and the allies. This
work calls for Drawn, muscle, physical
endurance. Time to think of women
at heavy work in the fields when there
are no American men and boys to be
spared from store, office or factory.
No business save fighting and pro-
viding the things fighters must have to
win battles is more important than pro-
ducing enough food. Give your atten-
ton to food production on some farm.
Help your employees to get out to the
farms at harvest and other critical
seasons.

of spending it for things they do not
really need. Lack Of thrift, in this di-
rection seemed to be almost uniyer-
sal failing before the war. Accumu-
lating Thrift stamps is likely to es-
tablish the habit of saving in young
people and children.
Work Which Only Women Can Do.
Whatever our other activities, we
must ego on with our knitting" In
very literal sense. SoX, sweaters,
wristlets, and bands and then more
sox will be needed in far greater num-
bers than ever before. Surgical dress
ing and bandages, also, must be sup
piled by the shipload, and food must
be conserved. In these affairs the
world leans on women for support. But
if each woman gives little time sys-
tematically to Red Cross work and
looks after the conservation Of food IN
her own home, the great total or
achievement will do the work and fill
needs depending on US. Our part Is
easy compared to that Of the soldiers
and sailors. 1t is amazing that there
are women. with time and means at
their disposal, who, because they have
no relatives in the army or navy, are
taking no interest, much less any ac-
tive part in the work to be done. They
are not worth fighting for, and should
be held up to the scorn they deserve.
Now is the time when cold selfishnesS
will betray itself.

it is precisely even in length and

1t is the blouse that reveals the
cleverness of it's designer. It's body
hangs from d very short yoke, gath

The body of the blouse Is shocked in
three rows of shocking where 1t joins
the shirred yoke. 1t is usual this sea-
son to use one or more colored silks
in doing the shocking on white frocks
and these little bits of color are very
childish and pretty on dresses for all

the bottom of the blouse with smock-

Jackets and Skirts.

That jackets will be short rather
than long seems to be foregone con-
clusion, judging by the South-wear
fashions, and etons and boleros are de-
cidedIy in evidence. Not only suits
but dresses, too, are seen in these eton
and bolero styles, and very smart and
youthful are these effects worn over
blouses of crepe organdie.
Jacket and coat sleeves are narrow
and close-ftting and in wrist length !;
skirts, too, are modelled with conser-
walton of material very much in mind
for they are cut decidedly narrow and
fairly short, though not as short as
some fashionable skirts of last season.
The average width of modish skirts is
about one and one-half yards around

Work Women Can DO.

Women and girls who wish TO help

sorting and packing. They can help
over-busy farm women in their house
hold tasks, especially in preparing the
large amount of food needed for har-
vesting crews.
Indirectly they can help the farmers
with their heavy work by taking the
place Of their men folks who perform
lighter tasks in office, store, or factory,
thereby relieving these men at critical
times to go out to the farms and help
with the heavy work unsuited to wom-
ems physical strength.
