"chariots of Ironn at GAIA.

History repeats itself down to min
ute details, the London Star reminds
us, and recalls previous operations at
GAIA related in the Book of Joshua.
1t says:
'If that picturesque special CORE
spondent to whom we owe the narra-
tive of the sun and moon standing still
in the valley of Ajalon had witnessed
the onslaught of General Allenby's
auxiliaries, he might have pictured be-
hemoth wallowing on the shore and
leyiathan rising out of the sea. It Is
related in the Book of Judges that
though the tribe of Judah took GAIA,
they could not drive out the inhabi-
tants of the valley because they had
chariots of IRON
Allowing for the intervening CEN
lures which have transformed the
'chariots of iron into tanks, we see
that in this case the omens are in
favor of the invaders. and We may
reasonably hope that the clearing out
of the Philistines will be final and COM

How He Made Window sashes,


A young Welshman, a woodworker,
applied at the work of building ma
terial company for job.
"What can you dof" inquired the
foreman in charge.
'Indeet, look you," said Taffy. II
can do any joinery work whateffer."
"Can you make window sashes"
asked the foreman.
Surely was the laconic answer.
swell, just take off your coat and
let me see you make one.
So Taffy set to work, while the fore
man went off round the works. The
first sash the new hand attempted
was failure, so planting it under the
bench, Taffy got ahead with a second
one, and had just finished it when the
foreman returned and taking hold Of
the sash, said, Call that a sash, do
yer? Don't believe l could find a
worse one in the country"
"Indeet," said the wood butcher,
grinning, you may find ferry much
worse one under the bench made from
your own timberi"
Then he got a move on.

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 Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh which is an inflamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

FARMERS NEED NO AGENT
TO GET LOAN FROM STATE
All That Is Necessary Is for Farmer to
Write to Register of State Lands
and State Wants.

Helena.-It has come TO the atten-
ton of the state board of land COM
missioners that in several communi-
ties of the state farmers who desire
to negotiate farm loans from the
state have been solicited by and in
some instances have employed agents
to do the business for them, paying
them commission.
Applications have also been made to
the state land board by several men to
be appointed farm loan agents. These
applications have all been turned
down for the reason that there is no
necessity for u farmer having an
agent to negotiate q loan from the
state for him, and the board desires
the farmers to do business directly
with it. In some instances the
agent has made an agreement with
the borrower under the terms of
which the agent is paid commission
for term of years.
When farmer desires to make a
loan all he has to do is to write Sid
ney Miller register of state lands for
the necessary blanks.
