He WAS "LoGIE" TO THEM
General Who Makes Soldiers Out Of
Canadian Recruits So Introduced
Himself to Villagers.

There was much excitement in the
small village of Angus (Ontario, CAM
when work was Started to transform
the old pine plains into the greatest
Canadian army camp-Camp Borden.
observes a Canadian correspondent.
The sight Of soldiers and high-up mill
tary men strolling down the streets
caused, to say the least, a sensation.
Two villagers were talking about
the new camp one day when they no
ticed an imposing, well-built officer
walking briskly towards them
Us 1t the general7' they asked each
ether, meaning Gen. Sir Sam Hughes.
then minister Of militia for Canada.
When the officer reached them one
OF the villagers stepped up to him, and
with the easy familiarity of a country
man hailed him as follows:
Here, there! Are you Sam?'
The officer chuckled and entered f.1-
to the spirit Of it and said: me Sir
Sami Oh, mol Why I'm only a little
fellow. Sir Sans a prize boxer com
pared to mel"
"Well. what's your name, thenf" the
villager queried.
SOh, I'm only Logic" was the a..

Thu Moon and the yg..ther

People who rely on the moon as
weather indicator, writes a London
Chronicle correspondent, must have
very short memories, for accurate COM
parisons prove conclusively that there
Is no connection whatever between the
weather and the moons changes Of
phase. t
Professor Schuster analyzed whole
century's weather records and, as a
result, was unable to- trace any lunar
period In them. Several authorities
are agreed, however, that there is a
tendency for clouds to dispense as
full moon comes to the meridian of
any place; but it is far cry from that
to the definite belief that the weather
changes with change Of the lunar
phases. (
These changes, Of course, can. be
predicted for years in advance with
perfect accuracy, and If the weather
depended on Them, weather forecast
Ing would be the simplest Of all the
sciences, instead of the most difficult.

The Blind Soldiers.

Statistics furnished by the French
British authorities to the American
Brftish-French Belgian Permanent
Blind Relief War Fund of 500 Fifth
avenue, New York, show that there
are In England, France and Belgium
more than 5000 soldiers who have
been totally blinded In the war and
nearly 25,0O0 blinded in one eye, a
large proportion of whom will even
tuaily lose the sight of the other as
the result of shock or Of the wounds
themselves. In addition there are in
France alone nearly 200 who, besides
losing both eyes, have also suffered,
by explosions or amp1tation, the loss
Of both arms or both legs, or a hand.
and in many cases have been rendered
stone deaf into the bargain.

The Argentina cattle industry is
capable of much expansion in time of

Of the pampas are boundless fields of
grass where the cattle feed the year

abundance, and windmills dotted over
the plains keep the animals plentifully

~. e." .. =. April "a, 1915
~
There was published in the Natchi.
toches papers, last week, an unsigned
letter addressed to Mr. W. D. Harper.
This letter was dirty, malicious and
cowardly attack upon one of our best
citizens, Hon. J. R. Weaver, who for
more than forty odd years has served
/ in various capacities, the citizens of
Ward Two. Prior to that time, he has
served his country during the Civil
war and today, Old Confederate Vete-
ran as he is, is loved, admired and res
pected by every self-respecting citizen
in this " ard.
There would be no necessity, what
ever, for US to trespass Upon the pa
tience of the public, were it not for
one sentence in the letter that is a
! slander upon the citizens of Ashland
and its vicinity. s;'.>,
That sentence reads as follows:
''We people around Ashland
want our vats located by you
andn this Weaver hoodlumism
Uncle Jim, as he is called,
makes all his money by trick
cry"
AS citizens of Ward Two living at
Ashland and its vicinity we denounce
the implication in the letter that we,
or any self-respecting man in Ward
Two endorses or approves the implica-
tion contained in the quotation

principles as laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson. By accepting the
armistice they agree in advance
to the qualifications made by the
Allies. and consequently much of
the real work of the peace con.
ference will have been completed
in advance. There will remain
the application of the Presidents
programme and decision as to the
freedom of the seas, but the
terms of the armistice will leave
no room for doubt of the ability
of the Allied and American Gov
ernments to impose their terms.
While awaiting the approach of
the German emissaries Marshal
Foch, military men here believe,
has opened the decisive battle of
the war. His i'm mediate objective
is the rOut or destruction of the
German armies holding stretch
of more than 200 miles of battle

menace that the Germans are

Mr.. f. S. Albright,
Mt. Vernon, KY.
Dear Edgar
AS do not have anything to
do this beautiful Sunday morning,
will write you. If you have
space in the Signal you may pub
lish it if you care to do so, that
our manv friends there may
know how we are.
We arrived safely on our
journey on the eleventh day az
ter starting. We had no trou BILE
to amount to anything except
the rain on Monday night. We
were about IS OF 10 miles out Of
Kansas City at the time. Our
tent blew down during the rain.
We were some distance from any
house, so it was mp to US to hus-
tie to the Car the best way we
could. And to make bad mat
tiers worse, we had played the
part of the foolish Virgin, had
no oil in our lamp. but we got
there just the same. The next
thing the dust had TUNED TO
mud and believe me the Kansas
mud is sure slick We made
very poor time the next two
days in fact the remainder of
the trip. We travelled thru some
fine country and also thru some
very poor country, with the ex.
ceptlon of Indiana. Corn crops
generally, are poor and not any
thing extra thru Indiana. Wheat
seems to be generally good,
great preparation being made
for wheat this year. I saw
] plenty of corn that had complete
i ly burnt up; not more than two
or three feet high. This is fine
looking country; not so much
right thru this section, the land
don't look very productive around
here but 8 few miles out on the
river, it IS good, but old Ken
lucky as a whole, IS as good as
any. Cushing is town of eight

and some athe reve rse. Every
