ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES
colle0e-6red FIowers That Nestle In
 lvy-covered Wall Of University of Washington.

They are college-bred roses and their high education seems to have had a very elevating effect on their aspira- lions. Students on the University of Washington campus recently noticed on an ivy-covered wall of Denny hall, way up on level with the third floor windows, spray of coppery roses, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says. The branch which bears them reaches out from the heavy ivy vines and Is the only sign of a rosebush in the neigh borhood.
 Some curiosity was aroused as to whether the flower was grafted on the ivy or whether 1t was rooted in the wall. Neither supposition was found to be correct. A number of years ago tho rose blossomed modestly near the ground. Then either the crowding of the ivy or the lofty ambitions inspired by the intellectual surroundings forced 1t to shoot up so that 1t could extend its blossoms to the sun just outside of the windows used by the public-speaking and Spanish depart ments.
 It's long, branchless stem Is covered by the ivy and it's top flourishes in the soft and musical sounds from the Spanish room and the forceful oratory from the public speakers.

Look at the Hat cerds.

A military man can immediately tell to what division a soldier belongs by glancing at the cord on his hat, but to the average citizen the color of the hat cord denotes little or nothing.
 It is an interesting feature to be fa- miliar with, especially now when So many soldiers are seen all over the country. and anyone who takes the trouble to learn the following list will be rewarded by being able to satisfy his own curiosity respecting any sol. dier he happens to see without having to ask questions: A cord of light blue signifies that the wearer belongs to the infantry; red denotes artillery /; yellow. cavalry: bun, quartermaster's corps; orange and white. signal corps i; red and white, engineers corps; red and black. ordnance; black and white, field clerk; maroon and white, medi- cal corps: black and gold, officers {; silver and black, adjutant generals clerk: green, instructor home guards, and green and white. homo guards.

German General stan.

The German general staff Is not tho creation of the kaiser. It is the ere ation of the army, and in Germany the army is the nation. In the old days. when the principality of Bran denburs was becoming the state of Prussia. 1t was the elector who gov .erned, with unchecked, autocratic aQ- thority. Even when Brandenburg had become Prussia the kings of Prussia dominated and owned the country as completely as the head of the house dominated the family, or the manu. facturer owned his business. The cab. inet of the great elector. the tobqccu paFliament of Frederick William, the Potsdam library of Frederick the Great, these have merged into the o1- Aces of the general stan, in which Is consecrated the surrender of the state to the army, and of the army to the army chiefs.

"No SHADOW ON HER FACE"
Writer Tells of English Woman Who Has Given All She Had to
 the Country.

We English do not read our casu-
 altytlists any more. Many of us dare not When we meet, we do not even
 speak of those who have gone away.
 A very touching thing was told me by one of my neighbors. He was the last of twenty-four officers in one of the Gordon regiments. He said that the places were just filled up as soon as they were emptied, and they never spoke of those who had fallen. That brings the reality of the thing to yon.
 In my own little country-Scotland you will find many, many villages from which the Highland regiments have been recruited. There are no boys left to come back. They are all dead.
 Not many weeks before I came to this country I was up in the Gordon country, and on Sunday night was speaking in church on the spiritual side of the war. At the close g wom- an came to me, little, simple. eoun- try woman. dressed in the uniform of the Gordon Highlanders, holding yellow missive, which I, alas, knew too we'll. '"The war office department re- grets to inform -- that - was killed in action" She laid this little missive beside one of the DOT. traits, and said, "That came yesterday. That's Jimmie. He's the last of the three." "I hear you are going to Amer lea. Will you tell American mothers I have given all my lads7 I had only three and I would give six, if I had them, for the same cause.". Another friend of mine has given all her five sons. She is a widow and she has none left; but she is working in one of the c1nteens with no shadow on her face.-Mrs. A. Burnett-Emith In the Atlantic Monthly.

JENs JENSEN OF HOLLY,
HAS HIGHEST MILK RECORD
Shown by the November Report Of
the Arkansas Valley Cow Test
ing Association.

November's milk record shows q
marked improvement over that of
the previous month. The increas-
ed milk flow is due largely to the
increased feed ration.
Jens Jensen of Holly, had the
highest average milk record. This
high average and large net profit
was a result of individual feed and
care. Besides alfalfa pasture his
cows received about one pound of
a balanced grain mixture for each
five pounds of milk produced.
The Model Dairy at Holly had
the record COW: 1854 pounds of
milk and 61.2 pounds of butter fat.
Other records are:
Harry Heath's COW, No. 1854
