He was still fighting madly when

Five minutes later the little mildly,

apparently rearisen from the dead, ap-

fancied he saw q gossamer form that
scintillated In the sunlight.
There was space Of only hundred

It was q frantic race between the

instant the boat was lifted bodily from
the beach and spun round like top.

FEEDING you

The average city man has
probably never realized that get
ting his feed to him on time Is
one Of the most troublesome
things with which the country
has to deal.
In ordinary times 1t was not
SO important that the city man
have such a realization, but now.
in war time. 1t is an important
part Of "Our Part In Feeding
the Nation"
The subjolned statement from
one Of the experts Of the bureau
Of markets, United States de-
partment of agriculture. will
serve at least as an introduction
to one phase Of the problem.

"Say, pa" "Yes, my SOM"
"Are you too busy readin' to explain

"No, my son. Your father is never
too busy to give his children the bene-
tit of his information"
"Well, In this story II says the ship
weighed anchor Why does ship have
to weigh Its anchor before 1t starts
out?"
"Ah, yes. To be sure. You've al
ways noticed, that In your reading
haven't you? Yes. Well, this is the
reason. You see, when n ship stays
long time In harbor 1t accumulates
a lot of-er-binnacles. And these
binnacles cling to the anchor In such
numbers that they increase Its weight.
So they have to weight It, Do you see?"

ultimate consumer. So anything that
interferes with quick delivery, that
causes shipments to be delayed, quite
often means loss. The principal live
stock producing sections are long dis
tance from the principal meat-consum-
ing centers Of the East. which makes
them dependent almost entirely upon
adequate transportation facilities to
keep supplied with fresh meat at any
and all times.

MoblllxIng Harvest Labor.

Steps for the systematic mobiliza-
ton Of farm labor In Kansas were TAX
en- at a meeting held In Kansas City,
May IA. This Is the first of a series of
meetings which are to be arranged by
the department Of agriculture In a
number Of cities to unite the efforts of
all agencies working to secure labor to
help farmers In harvesting their crops.
At the Kansas City meeting a commit
tee was appointed to direct the work
Of the various agencies In the state
and to see that registrations are held
In the cities where city employees
who will do farm work during their va
cations can register. It is estimated
that $4,000 helpers will be necessary
to harvest the crops In Kansas this
year, and the commercial organiza-
tlons In Kansas City have undertaken
to supply 10000 of this number.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Battle Of the poaoer.


Within the next three days series
Of phenomena occurred which left no
doubt as to the dangers which were
menacing the human race.
Before noon messages began to pour
in from all parts Of the country and
from the feet. The admiral In COM
mand Of the home squadron wired that
torpedo-boat destroyer had ap-
preached him under flag Of truce,
with the singular statement that the
ocean had receded all along the Baltic

that an army Of the monsters had

Ing into Q choppy, turbulent sea. The
F65, tossed and battered as she was
BY the waves, nevertheless held tight.
The locked rudder prevented her from
submerging.
Within the messro0m the queen Of
the swarm was housed securely.
She was almost invisible, and not
at all visible by daylight. A silent,
phantom figure. she created fear and
awe In each Of them. They did not
know what her connection with the
swarm might be. They knew she had
not human intelligence.
From his position upon the highest
point Of Fair island, MacBeard saw
the swarm vanish at sea. he saw
the F55 start in their wake, and threw
up his hands and raved. Coward as he
was, he could not let his last hope slip
from him like that.
He was the lonellest man In the
world, as he had always been. But he
had not known 1t or cared. He had
rebelled against the human race. He
was the modern Cain; he had plotted
the ruin Of the world, over which he
was to rule, godlike. But that was be-
fore he had set eyes upon Ida Ken
nedy.
The thought of her renewed his cour-
age. He found his motorboat upon
the shore. uninjured by the lnundation,
since the point of rock had acted as a
breakwater and protected 1t. Within
few minutes he had filed his great
gasoline reservoir with a supply suffi-
cient for several days, and set out in
pursuit Of the herd. He knew that he
could easily outdlstance the subma-
rine.
Presently he came upon the mon
sters. Their first wild dash had taken
them In all directions, so that little
vapor had formed, but now they were
beginning to congregate, and wall Of
black cloud, rising In the distance, In
dicated their direction.
The monsters made no effort to mo-
lest him. but they would not, at first,
heed his tuning fork. Later, however,
he managed to assemble a small
bodyguard about him.
MacBeard pursued them down the
east coast Of England. His boat, hid
den in the cloud, remained undetected
by the patrol vessels.
1t was not until the second morning
that he guessed where the herd would
make Its main rendezvous.
It was simple deductive process,
though nobody else had thought of 1t.
It was the Dogger bank, swarming
with fish. which would provide the
monsters with food.
He believed that, once the first dash
Of the monsters was over. they would
obey his call again. And his first sum-
mons proved successful beyond his ex-
pectations. Exhausted by their dash
southwark, numbers Of the herd con-
gregated about the motorboat to the
G sound, which was perceptible to
them for much greater distance than
the tone carried to the human ear.
From within a radius Of twenty miles
a cloud rolled In upon the motorboat.

Of its blackness, like some arch-devil.

This cloud was quickly seen by the
rear-admiral's patrol vessels. while II

Study Of Some Things Which A.
feet Final Delivery Of Food
to Consumer.
QUESTION OF RAPID TRANSIT
Fresh Meats and Other PerIshabls
Products From Farms Must Be
speeded Up At Every Stage
Delay Means shrInkage.

One Of the fundamental factors In
the problem of feeding towns and cit
les is that Of transportation. Since
city dwellers are so dependent upon
transportation for their foodstuffs, 1t
may be interesting to study some Of
the things which affect the final deliv-
cry OF food and especially meats to the
consumer.
Transportation difficulties begin with
the stock raiser, whether he Is a
rancher in the West. a corn belt farm
er or other agriculturist who produces
live stock for food. In the early days,
before our railroads were in existence
or before they were the principal
factors In getting stock to market,
cattle, hogs and sheep had to be
driven or hauled long distances to
reach q selling point or point from
which they could be shipped by boat
or rail. This was very expensive
way of moving stock; It not only took
a long time but the loss Of animals
and the loss Of flesh by these animals
was also considerable, even though the
values per pound were very little COM
pared with today.
Troubles Of Stock Grower.
The first trouble the stock grower
or dealer today has In getting his
stock to market is to get to railroad
point to ship his animals to one Of
the various large stockyards to be
sold. Bad roads, adverse weather and
perhaps long drive or haul to the
shipping point all affect the length Of
time required; then there may be a
temporary shortage Of cars and stock
must be held In the railroad stock
yards and fed until cars are provided.
Once loaded into cars. however, there
is a special effort made to get to the
market In the shortest possible time.
Delay means abnormal shrinkage; II
the cars are on the road 38 hours the
stock must be unloaded for feed and
water; or the market may drop sud-
denly; hence the necessity for speed.
n Shipping Fresh Meats.
4 In order to ship fresh meats sue
cessfully they must be thoroughly
chilled before loading and then trans
ported in refrigerator cars. especially
during the warmer weather. although
this practice is followed the year
round. These cars have ice tanks at
each end. which are filled with Ice
and a percentage Of salt and the car
chilled to about 35 to 38 degrees Fab
renheit. Also they are provided with
yentilating or circulating systems In
order to keep the temperature In all
parts of the car as nearly uniform as
possible. In making long shipments.
and especially during the warmer
months, 1t Is necessary to Ice the car
one or more times en- route to keep
the temperature as low and as con-
slant as possible. Even then on
account of bad weather, wrecks or
any other condition that causes undue
delay, the meat may not be In first
class condition on Its arrival at the
destination and must therefore be sold
quickly even at some sacrifice In price.

Miss Ethel Forney Elected
Senior Class Historian

AT meeting of the Senior class of
Central High school held yesterday
afternoon in chapel, Miss Ethel
Forney was elected class historian.
Miss Forney is one of the most pop
ular girls in school. She was one
of the cheer leaders and a member
of C. A. o. Society.
President Ben Wolfe presided at
the meeting. He requested that a
class veil and motto be handed to
the secretary. Miss Fannie Ness, this
week. A prize of $3.50 was offered
for the best class song.
1t was decided to abolish the usual
class trip to Washington or West
Point. Hotel accommodations could
not be secured at Washington and
West Point is not available this year.
Some suggestions which were made
to take the place of the trip included
a banquet. dinner dance or class
day. 1t is doubtful if class day cele-
brations will be permitted because
of previous troubles caused by un-
derclassmen.
Orders for class rings and pins
should be placed directly with
Deiner's jewelry store. They should
be given during the next three weeks.
