Our Mistake-Ion's Treat.

The Register made slight mistake
last week which did an injustice to
Register Lon Beavers of the land Of
flee. We stated that the investigat-
ing committee that reported on the
state of the car in which he and Doc.
Hasty rode down from Las Animas
found no evidences of an explosion and
therefore it was impossible that Lon
rode all the way down without talk
ing. Attorney Gordon, owner of the
car, that bore such a weight of states
manship safely through the mysteri-
Gus craters and lookout holes OF the
celebrated state highway, is authority
for the statement that the committee
entirely overlooked the big gaping
hole in the auto top, where Lon blew
up. This completely exhonerates Mr..
Beavers and the non-partisan league
should give him n clean bill of good
standing.

There was large attendance at the
swimming pool last Thursday evening
to see the water sports. A series of
races for both children and grown-ups
was held as well as all sorts of diving
and other stunts. Prizes were offered
and there were many exciting and
amusing contests. The program wound
up with placing a big watermelon in
the center of the pool to be the prop
erty of whoever could get it to shore
in spite of the crowd. The fun was
fast and furious and lasted for many
minutes but Loren Van Ginkel proved
the handiest rough and ready water
fighter on the ground and landed the
melon. The crowds are constantly in
creasing and the pool is by far the
most popular resort of the city now,
and parties are of frequent occurancc.
On Tuesday evening OF this week Vic
tor Farrell took his class of twenty
one pupils of the Episcopal Sunday
school down to the pool for an out
ing. Even in its first year the pool
has proven tremendous success both
financially and as pleasure resort.

A carload of the much looked for
Fordson tractors arrived at Sundays
garage last Saturday and have been
attracting widespread attention ever
since. This has been claimed to be
the acme of tractor quality and at the
minimum of cost, and it looks and
acts as if it would live up to the
claims made for it. The Fordson is
simplicity itself in design and con-

TO DRIVE AWAY MOSQUITOES
Kansas Professor Makes Public Prep
aration He Claims Is Effective
Against Pests.

Campers and tourists who are
harassed by mosquitoes can find relief
by use OF repellants, points out George
A. Dean, professor Of entomology, Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
Where tine and circumstances will
rot permit Of sanitary means of con-
troll, an effective repellant can be made
by the use Of one ounce of cedar oil,
two ounces of citronella and two
ounces of spirits Of camphor.
A small amount of this solution ap-
piled to the face and hands or on a
handkerchief tied around the neck
will keep the mosquitoes away. Equal
ly good results may be obtained if the
liquid is applied to a cloth and hung
near the face when mosquitoes are
troublesome at night.

ADD COLOR TO THE GARDEN
GoIdinches, Always Attracted by Sun-
flowers, Make Beauty Spot
Especially Attractive.

A very familiar bird in our gardens,
especially when there are sunfowers
growing there, is the beautiful little
American goldfnch.
Their deep black wings and tail and
little cap form a striking, though pleas
ing, contrast to their bright yellow
bodies.
Because of their sweet, canary-like
notes they are often called wild ca
naries.
They are very sociable little birds,
being found usually in small flocks;
they even build their nests in small
communities.
When winter approaches the male
changes his bright yellow coat for one
of a soberer color closely resembling
that of the female.
Numbers of them feed upon the sum
flowers in my garden every year, and it
is pleasing sight to go in there and
see their bright yellow bodies flashing
in the sun. J
They are hardy little fellows, spend
ing the entire winter with us.-New

An unheraIded Event.

An announcement has appeared in
the newspapers so insignificant that it
has almost passed unheeded. The size
of the item was altogether out of pro-
portion to it's Importance The single
paragraph was to the effect that the
swinging bridge over the Suez canal
at Ell Kantara, about 35 miles south
of Port Said, had been completed. Yet
that bridge affords direct railway COM
munication between Cairo and the cit
les of Palestine; it conquers the desert
which separated Egypt from Palestine,
and which has for centuries barred the
march of nations; it joins Asia to AT
rica, and it assures the world that the
Holy Land will henceforth be under
Christian guardianship. AXerxes bridg-
ing the Hellespont is nothing to the
British bridging the Suez canal Sure
ly the bells of Christendom ought to
have been rung when that insignif-
cant announcement crept into the cor
ners of the papers Christian Science

PLEASANT WAY ALWAYS BEST
Nothing Ever Lost by Effort to Take
Sting Out of Request That Must
Re Refused.

Do you know how to take the sting
out of anything unpleasant you have
to do? It is asgood plan to learn how
to do this.
"She said she couldn't do it, but you
know how Efie would say such.a thing.
She tries so hard to make everybody
feel pleasant. Now, when l say no,
people understand that / mean no.''
Marcia looked as well pleased with
herself as If she had announced more
aniable Characteristic. She was a girl
with a peculiarly blunt and uncom-
promising manner. If she refused re-
quest, her refusal was as downright as
q blow. It was never softened by any
little phrase suggesting regret. And
Marcia was so well satisfied with her
self that she felt something like con-
tempt for the way Efie took the sting
out of saying no, and made the people
to whom she refused favor as CRATE
full as if she had granted it.
The girl who starts to go through
life with her elbows out is going to
find the road hard to travel. If she
prides herself on being blunt and out
spoken, she may need to use that as
consolation for her sore heart many a
tine. It pays to make even refusal
pleasant. 1t pays to take out the sting
whenever possible, and drop in the
honey. One who starts out as Marcia
dc, priding herself on being blunt, and
contemptuous of the little courtesies,
is likely to come to old age friendless
and embittered. Learn to be pleasant
and take out the sting.-Exchange.

serhians Great Walkers.

All Serbian peasants are great walk

Good Business.

Some one with an eye to business
has had the good idea of establishing,
outside a munition factory in Great.
Britain, milliner's shop with the lat
est in hats and blouses for girls. After
long hours of work, it is easy to i'm
agine how attractive such shop win
dow would appear to the girls; the
difficulty is, probably, to find sufficient
shop attendants at the busy hours to
sell hats and blouses to eager buyers.
The idea is the same, of course, as
the tuck shop outside the school gates.

RECRUIT BALKs AT THE JOB
Declared He Had Only Agreed to Get
Kaiser and Couldn't Take On
Whole Germany.

"Are you willing to go across and
fight the Germans?" asked an inter-
viewer in the mastering Office in for
mer cafeteria No. 2 of young Florida
negro at Camp Dix, whose personnel
record he was completing, the query
being one Of the formal questions put
to every recruit.
"Ah don't know bout dat boss !"
answered the colored boy. "Ah thought
yur jes' wanted me to go get the
kaiser. Bin a-hankerin' to fix that ole
Rat Face, but does yuh mean yuh
want me to lick da whole gang?"
The interviewer explained the situa-'
ton. The young negro's home board
had told him they were going to send
him to Europe to "get the kaiser" and
he came to camp thinking it was
single-handed job. His face frightened
when he found that in his personal
p2-t he would have the backing Of
several million allies.
The personnel QUESTIONABLE made
out in the mastering office brings some
amazing answers from the southern
negroes recently brought there for
training. One couldn't remember where
his father was born.
"yVell, was he born in the United
States?" asked the interviewer. "No,
indeed, sub, no indeedy!" replied the
recruit. "He was born in Virginny!''
The same recruit wanted to show
that he could qualify under every G.:as-
ton. "Are you a member of any lodge
or fraternity?" was a query put to
him. "Good Lawd, boss, I should say
was! Use a pallbearer."
New uniforms are being issued to
these Florida recruits and they are
the proudest soldiers in the camp.
They have taken to the military game
like ducks to water, and officers are
amazed at the cleverness they are
showing in learning drill orders in ele-
mentary army work.
