able one. and one in which Crawford

total subscriptions will approximate
100000, $4,000 of which was fur

We apprehend before the campaign is
closed Crawford county will show a
200 per cent record, which is good
enough for any county. This amount
could have been largely increased by
diligent effort. but few if any showed
intemperance in pushing the effort
for the sale of bonds. Unfortunately
some were pulling back. upon the
theory that the county was liable to
do too much. We are not disposed
to favor the extraordinary sale simply
for the sake of Growing over some

TEMPORARY MASK OF WISDOM
Even Most Foolish Man Has Look Of
Intelligence When He Is Light
ing Pipe.

Why is it that man always looks so
intelligent when he is lighting his
pipe?
Probably 1t is because the intake OF
breath which is necessary to start
proper combustion causes a drawing
up of his brows, wrinkling of the
forehead, cOncavity of the cheeks
and puckering of the mouth, all of
which produces an owlish and oracu-
lar demeanOr This mask of wisdom
and soberness, when brightly lit by the
CLEAN and yellow shining of the
match fame which leaps up and down
over the bowl of the pipe, has dis
mayed many tim!h observer. We
know that our friend, like ourself, was
but a well-nourished simpleton whose
mind. even if spread at its thinnest,
could not shelter more than one-tenth
Of his doings with common sense. How
came 1t. then. that this simple act
of laying fire to dried vegetation could
so uplift and ensage him?
Whenever a man lights his pipe his
mind seems born anew; in other
words, it leaps back into the vast ocean
of simple absurdity whence most of
our minds come trickling. The mo-
mentary right gives him time to think,
and he starts afresh upon argument,
rebuttal and contradiction. And inev-
lably he says something particularly
idiotic-EXchange.

Marriage Question.

Why is it that it never occurs to
certain type of woman that there may
be some men in the world too good for
her to marry? Every man with any
brains at all knows that there are some
women i'll the world too good for him
to marry. The average business man
SHES off from the brilliant and beau
tiful woman, lest, marrying her, he
should be patiently Outclassed through
his life. He wants a woman who is
just his equal in looks and intelligence
no more-at least not so much more
that he will have to suffer in contrast.
But women apparently never give
such considerations moments
thought. | have seen brilliant men
loaded through life with women who
caught them very youLg, and who
stopped growing at nineteen, while the
men kept right on. These women must
have known in the days when their
dances were quoting to them poetry
which they couldn't understand that
they were not the equals of their men.

Washington, Dec. 9.-ChMrles NJ.
Schwab. director general of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, who laid
aside his own Shipbuilding plans
eight months ago to help build ships
for the government, received word by
wireless from President Wilson that
his resignation had been accepted.

building program, although it was not
known that his resignation was plac-

President Wilson, in accepting the
director generals resignation, in a
message sent to the White House
from the transport George Washing
ton, with instructions that it be con-
veyed to Mr. SchWab, said:
II accept your resignation only be-

The most costly, and scientifically
the most noteworthy, animal in the
grand collection of the New York Zoo
logical society in Bronx park is the
pigmy hippopotamus, of which there
are three specimens. Not only are
these the only captive pigmles In this
country. but anywhere In the world
except pair captured at the same
time and now in Europe. Even skins
and skeletons are so few as to be re-
garded as great prizes by museums.
It's habitat is apparently restricted to
the hinterland of Liberia, where it
roams restlessly through the forests
end haunts small streams, making rest
ing-places of hollows under the shaded
banks. This rare little beast from an
unknown land is a true hippopotamus,
but midget in size beside the huge
amphibian with which we are famil-
lar. One might make dozen of them
out of the bulky carcass of that old
Behemoth Caliph, the monarch of the
herd at the zoo. The male of the
pigmy Is fully adult, yet stands only
80 inches tall, and weighs about 400
pounds.

MILLIONS HOURLY FOR MEAT
Payments - Farmers in November
S3Cco coo Every Sixty Minutes.

Chicago. Dec. 9-Three million dol
lars an hour is the notwithstanding
sum paid farmers of the country in
the month of November, 1918, for live
stock used for meat purposes, accord
ing to an estimate made by experts
ut the International Live Stock Expo
Sition and Horse lair.
Producers received more than $751;
100000 for hogs sold in the Chicago
market las month. The estimate is
based ON the arrival Of SOC. 900 hogs
at the local stock yards, the minimum
market price of which was fixed by
the government at $500 per 100
pounds.
Live stock experts declare that the
farmers are now receiving more than
twice as much for their hogs as before
the war. and their shipments are from
10 to 10 per cent above normal The
price of cattle and sheep also has in
creased enormously compared with
pre-war figures

New Explosive.

The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter
mentions Il new explosive being tested
by the government which will save a
considerable amount of glycerin. 1t is
called nitrobyronel and is the product
of DIR. Byron +. Eldred. 1t is claimed
that it blows Il chamber twice the size
of that caused by T. n. T. (trinitro-
toluoD. In the manufacture of nitro
byronel neither nitroglycerin nor to-
Iuol is used. 1t is hydrocarbon OBJ
tanned by a by-product in coke-oven
processes.
1t is estimated that 50,000,000 pounds
of glycerin is used in American In
dustriaI concerns, and Il big saving in
this important material, now growing
scarce, can lie effected through the
employment of nitrObyronel.
If shortage of glycerin should be-
come imminent, the Oil, Paint and
Drug Reporter believes that the gov
eminent would promptly start in to
manufacture nitrobyronel.

Forts Built With Natural Cement.

The volcanic island of Santorini, in
the Aegean sea, produces natural
cement called ''portselana," which
mixed in certain proportions with lime
and sand is an excellent substitute for
the best cement.
"Portselana" has been used for many
centuries and is still being used
throughout the near East in the con-
structiOn of bridges, harbor works,
breakwaters, forts, lighthouses, ETC..
in the Mediterranean, the Black sea,
and the Adriatic. With it the Vene-
tianS constructed the great fort of
Monemvasia and Nauplia, the then
Gibraltar of the eastern Mediter-
ranean, the foundations of which are
In the sea, intact and immovable up to
now after many centuries. The forts
of Crete and those of the Dardanelles
are also built with ''portselana."

They are already rebuilding the
broken homes Of France. And they
are already rebuilding the broken men.
Over here we, too, are getting ready
to devote to the same task the best OF
American skill and genius.
For each million of our men who
enter action ten thousand will be so
crippled as to need mechanical appli-
ances, and they will have to be spe-
ciully educated to use these SO that
the action of the missing limbs will
be reduplicated as closely as possible.
If the Germans had had the entree
to certain parts of France last fall
they might have seen fields that they
once destroyed yielding their best crop
In years. And they might have seen
some Of these fields being reaped by
men they thought they had done for.
They were men with varying de-
erees of leglessness and armlessness-
Some ran (and repaired) tractor en-
zines. Some, with both arms gone
above the elbows, spaded the ground
with the aid Of a clever mechanism
to which the spade was hooked. One
man, who also had but the stump of
each arm left, not only used scythe
but kept 1t sharp.

all its work will be to fit men to re-
turn to their own homes, and re-enter,
as nearly as possible, their former
place In life.
Sometimes these re-educated men
take a far higher place in the COM
munity than they occupied before. For

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by a consti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it i sentire-
ly closed, Deafness is the result. I'm
less the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness

tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

Introducing the Monoele.

One interesting thing about the
monocle is that the fashion of wearing
it was introduced at the Congress Of
Vienna, that congress which remade
the map of Europe and, In the opinion
of many, laid the mines whose explo-
sion was the great war. Sir Horace
Rumbold, in writing on the subject Of
the origin of odd fashions and Gus
toms, said that Dutch exquisite,
Jonkheer BREEZE, was the first man to
wear a monocle, and that he showed
the then brand new fad to the diplo-
mats and others assembled at the con-
gress After that Introduction the fad
spread to all parts Of Europe, but 1t
took its deepest hold on the English
well-to-do classes.
