 MT. and Mrs. Stacey Pleasant re- turned to Chandler Wednesday from an extended stay in Portland. The Pleasants were married here last spring.

Varieties of Pearia.

Among the varieties of so-called
pearls there are at times small dark
gray or blackish pearls, which are
more or less 1attened and lack the
Jet black luster and perfect shape Of
the so-called black pearls. These are
true pearls, probably secured from pin-
IA shell, and possess some small value.
They may be easily distinguished from
the false pearls by their color and
shape. Very small round pearls Of a
golden luster are secured from q small
aeicula that has a beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The avicula shell
Is usually less than six centimeters in
diameter, and I have never seen q pearl
produced by this shell that was larger
than a No. 6 shot. The big, perfectly
round yellow pearls offered for sale
are usually frauds. I

There is every indication that the
1918 crop in North Dakota will be
equal to the crop of 1915, which to-
tailed ISL, 600, 900 bushels Of wheat
alone.T@ Fifty thousand harvest hands
will be necessary to take care of this
gam. A steady drain on the labor
resources of the country for military
service and for production of war
materials has greatly reduced the army
of transients which usually follow the
harvest from the Oklahoma fields
north with the ripening of the grain
and it will be almost impossible to
draw sufficient labor from without the
state to take care of this years crop
no matter what the wages are offered
1T is going to- be largely p to the peo
pie of7the state themselves to take
care of this. years crop and if there
is any loss of grain for the want df
labor, it will reflect on our patriot
ism 1t is the duty of every citizen
Of the state, not already engaged in
agriculture. to plan his work 80 that
he can spend at least, a part of his
time in the harvest fields in case of a
labor emergency.

a good one so far as the spirit of the

small, when the number of papers
now printed in the county is consider.

At first glance the quota of war

but this quota is based on $40 per
person throughout the United States
making So, 600, 900, ooofo the whole
100, 600, 600 of people in the country.
On sober thought. it will be realiz-
ed that this plan is the only fair me,
thod. and by this method the people
of North Daokta may be induced to
pause and think. The first Liberty

So, 900, 600, 900, $50 per person;
North Dakota took Sd, 600. 600,
about $6 per person. Someone else
had to do what North Dakota failed
to do. In the second Liberty loan
North Dakota took about Sill, 900, 900
about SIT per person, while the whole
country average wa, $38 per person.
Someone had to make up what North
Dakota was short. In the third
Liberty loan the purchase in North
Dakota was about the same SIT per
person, while the whole country 8
average purchase was $42 per person
Again someone else had to make up
for North Dakota's shortage. In the
recent Red Cross drive North Dakota
contributed about 80 cents per person.
while the entire country averaged
about Ito per person. All this in
the face of the fact that North Da,
kote ranks among the first ten state:

RECONSTRUCTION IN FRANCE.
The French Government Plans to
Finance the Work.

Philadelphia, Dec. 12.-To recon-
struct the destroyed portions Of
France architecturally as they were
before they were ruined by the Ger
mans is the purpose Of the French
government as outlined by Bernard
J. Shoninger, formerly president Of
the American Chamber Of Commerce
at Paris.
The French government plans to
accomplish this by reimbursing indl-
viduals for their shattered homes,
mills and factories according to their
value before their destruction, Mr..
Shoninger recently told the executive
committee of the Philadelphia Cham
Der of Commerce.
Ultimately, he said, Germany Will
paw the bill for restoration.
Throughout the war, he addeo'
French boards of appraisers have
been estimating the values Of prop
erty destroyed by the Huns and now
have accurate data. To those who de-
sire to rebuild, the French govern
ment will issue indemnity Sbonds up
to 80 per cent Of the former value OF
his property. While the external ap-
pearance of the buildings rebuilt Will
be retained, Mr. Shoninger said, the
interiors will be constructed in mod
ern, sanitary style.
Referring to the fact that the
French government has made ar
!, rangements to purchase materials for
reconstruction by pooling or combln-
ing it's orders, he suggested that
American manufacturers would be
asked to supply some materials and
that they promote the formation OF
selling combinations so that possible
hueesorders for construction materials
from France could be rapidly assinlt-

The cowl, OF hood, was originally g
covering for the head to protect it
from the inclemency Of the weather,
and was worn by all classes without
distinction. It's ready adaptation to
conceal the features led to its adop-
ton at a very early age by n KS

The Navy Heard From.

Dear Editor:
Allow me just little space In your
paper. I have never written to your
paper before but censorship is releas-
ed to some extent.
Brother send me the Item quite
often SO I always have home news.
left with the S. L. l. in 1915 and On
our return 1917 decided the navy
was the best place for a young man,
so at once I was transferred and was
safe aboard one Of Uncle Sans best
ships and was soon serving in foreign
waters. I cannot explain some of the
exciting th'~gs that happened, but
one I will mention: We were patroll-
ing the North Sea and the Tin fish"
subs were playing hide and seek with
us but they didn't get US, our gunners
were too good for them. One Of
them ran into our propeller and dis
abled one engine. We made port all
right and he made bottom. Have ex-
perienced several incidens equal to
that and even more, but when would
feel disheartened I would just think of
the poor boys on the western front,
and know that I was blessed to be so
well protected.
Today we Wee in the greatest con-
voy that has ever been in history. we
met the defeaed German fleet and es-
corted them to their place of intern
ment. This day will be remembered
by all of the British grand fleet and
also by the boys Of the American
Sixth Battle Squadron.
Now about the work of the navy.
Nobody seems to give them any credit,
but take a tip from a friend they have
done their bit and will continue to do
so when the soldiers are returning
home to their parents, friends and
sweethearts.
T had an advanced leave a few
weeks ago and was talking to a chap
in London who had been over about
two months. He was almost crying to
go home. I gently reminded him OF
our French and English comrades
who hadn't seen home since 1914. He
then piped down but still insisted
that we had nothing to fight for.
Talk about sports, we have every
thing from playing checkers to foot
ball. We have baseball, football, box
ing, wrestling, boat racing and swim
ming, when the weather permits.
Speak about eats in the navy they are
very good. I am still alive and
healthy. T always thought thas
sheep were made to make clothes in
stead Of filing them up. have eaten
so much mutton in the last year that
I almost bleat sometimes.
Have just finished supper, which
consisted of cold roast lamb, bread,
butter, tea and sliced fruit. I still
think that I am one of Sumter's boys
and am proud Of my home.
Hope it will be my luck to convoy
Captain Brown and his good old Co.
L back to America soon, as still have
feeling towards the company.

Earliest Form OK Shoes.

The earliest shoes known were san-
dals of hide, leather or wood. When
one encounters the word "shoe" in the
Bible he may be sure that it is the
sandal that is commonly meant. In
Egypt the sandal was woven of palm
leaves and papyrus. AS @ symbol Of
the subjectiop Of their enemies the
Egyptians often painted the figures Of
their opponents On the lining of their
sandals.
