Now 4 K, P.


A young aviator at one of the avia-
ton fields, wrote his mother letter
recently, and among other things he
said that he had "got to be K. p"
On receipt of the letter the good moth
or, with love in her heart for her boy,
fastened to a jewelry store and in
formed the jeweler that she wished to
buy K. of p. ring for her son, saying
that she had received letter from
him stating that he had become a 4.
p. A ring was selected, paid for and
prepared for mailing. In due time the
TX. p. aviator received the package
containing the ring and letter from
his mother, in which she commended
him on the step he had taken and that
she was sending him this ring to show
her appreciation.
The young man at once saw that
his mother was laboring under mis-
take, as he was not a member Of the
Knights of Pythias, as she supposed,
but instead he was kitchen police at
the aviation grounds. He at once
wrote his mother, explaining the
meaning of his letter, and kept the
matter a secret for some time, but it
was too good, and he told the story
to party of people who were visit.
Ing at the field.

"War Club Week ''-March 10 to II.
Governor Burnquist has officially pro-
claimed War Club Week.. and it is for
the purpose Of stimulating the sale of
thrift stamps and war saving stamps.
The sale has been steady, but on ac-
count of the third Liberty Bond sale
to start April 6, it is advisable to get
the thrift stamp going more strongl y
at this time. Thrift stamps will nkc y
be sold, however, until the war ends.
1t is urged that all associations become
interested in advising the people to put
their loose change into stamps, thus as
sisting the government in financing the
war. There may be those who cannot
buy Liberty bonds, but there is hardly
anyone but that can at least buy some
thrift stamps. And when {, sufficient
number is purchased to convert into q
"baby bond' your thrift money pays
you interest. ''War Club Week D.

IRISH LEADER PASSES away
DEATH OF JOHN REDMOND FOL-
LOWING OPERATION.
Was Principle Factor in Home Rule
Government-koyaI to Britain
in War.

London, March John Redmond,
famous Irish leader, is dead Of heart
disease, following an intestinal oper-
alton. Redmond became critically
ill several days ago. At that time
it was announced he was suffering
from malignant cancer.
He had been the Irish nationalist
leader in the house Of commons since
shortly after his election to parlia-
ment in the sos. He was the prin'
cipal factor in the home rule move
ment. =
Redond was q forceful orator of
the Rooseyeltian type. 1t was his
program to antagonize every British
government, hoping to force Irish
Pome rule through methods approx
imating insurgency"
Refused to Join Sim Fein.
When the war government failed to
pass the home rule bill, Redmond
| was popularity believed to have suf-
fered broken heart. Yet he refused
to join the Sim Fem movement and
| was intensely patriotic, almost I'M
| perialistic, in his loyalty to the war
| government. AS a result, his popu-
larity in Ireland waned, and recently
there had been a movement in his
! home district to succeed him in par.
lament. Redmond did not want alb.
solute independence for Ireland. He
desired government for that coun.
| try similar to that of the dominion
| of Canada.
| Supported ParneIl..
Redmond was born in 1851, the sol.
! OF ". A. Redmond, member of Par
| lament from Ballytrent. He was
first elected to parliament from New
Ross in 1881 and became a SUD
ported of Parnell.
Red mond's brother, Major Villa m
| H. K. Redmond, member of parlia
ment from Clare, was killed in action
on the west front recently.

HENRY FOURTH OF GERMANY
Kings Troubles In Helping to Rule the
World Included Much Suffering
and Humiliation.

OF all the wrangling monarchs who
had part in running the world during
the infancy of government none was
more picturesque than Henry ~ OF
Germany. And he Suffered perhaps
the greatest humiliation that ever was
visited upon king, writes historian.
Gregory VII became pope in the sew.
enth decade of the eleventh century.
The election did not please Henry in
the least Under the pilfered title Of
Roman king he claimed share in pa
pal affairs and did not propose to be
treated lightly. But Gregory persuad-
ed him to confirm his elevation. Then
dissension broke out between the two,
and Henry's partisans unseated the
pope, who retired to Canossa, in the
.Apennines.
Gregory retaliated on Henry by
welding that most powerful weapon
Of the church-excommu This
casting out of the faith was the most
feared of all fates in ancient days, and
even Henry's close advisers fell away
from him. The king faced the storm
bravely enough, but things went
against him and he decided to pro-
pittate Gregory. So, in the midst OF
winter he crossed the Alps, a truly pro-
digious undertaking in those times, and
presented himself before the castle
where Gregory was staying. asking au-
dience. At first Gregory refused, but
then consented on condition that Hen
ry dismiss Il! his attendants and enter
alone. The German complied and
uuitted IL. site % go inside the walls.
Furth1. Oh he came to second gate,
where he 20; told that the pope had
ordered him Invested Of all his regal
ornament an: clothing before proceed
ing. Henry reluctantly consented, and
received in exchange coarse wooden
tunic. Wearing this, he passed through
| the gate, thinking his troubles over.
| But there remained last gate and
final trial. For three days and nights
he was kept standing outside the gate
in severe weather, fasting from morn
ing until night. At the end Of that
time Gregory finally had the king
ushered before him and agreed to lift
the ban if Henry would consent to a
truce between them, made distinctly
on the pope's terms. To this Henry
agreed and was restored to the church.
He left soon after, nursing his hatred
for Gregory and determined to square
accounts. This led to the pope nomi-
mating another prince for Henry's
throne and to endless warfare. The
king was accommodated second
time and continued under the ban most
| Of his troublous life. There have been
few instances Of a monarch undergo
ing any such humiliation as that he e1-
perienced, standing outside the pope's
door for three days in freezing weather

British National Anthem,

The authorship of the British Ma.
tional anthem furnishes one of those
evergreen subjects of dispute which de.
light the soul of individuals whose Joy
it is to write letters to the press, OBJ
serves a British exchange. Probably
there will also be conflicting evidences
on the question: but the common opin-
ion now is that Henry Carey, who died
In October, 1743, was the author. At
any rate, Carey sang the song as his
own composition at a dinner party in
Cornhill, while shortly afterwards he
approached a publisher with the manu-.
script. It was not at once accepted.
and seems to have been first sung in
public in 1745-two years after Carey's
death.

Oil From Melon Seeds.

A genuine American invention orig
mated at Rocky Ford, where a melon
grower named Burrill, with the fac
ulty Of inductive reasoning, found out
that a clear, rich oil can be expressed
from the seeds Of cantaloupes, notes
the Chicago Tribune. He submitted
samples to government chemists at
Washington, who notified him that
their tests indicated a new table oil Of
tho same texture and color as olive oil,
one which needed no refining process.
There is wide significance in this dis
covery, which indicates melons, squash
and pumpkin seeds, as perhaps those
of citrus fruit as well, as a prolific
source of Oil supply.
