ply required for government uses.
There is only one way In which to do
this, and that Is to load cars heavier
and thus ship the same amount OF
goods In fewer cars.
We appreciate the fact that In order
to load every car to capacity manu-
facturers must have their orders In
hand at date sufficiently early to
allow the assembling and grouping of
all less-than-carload quantities. This,
OF course. necessitates full and free CO.
operation on the part of the farmer
and dealer.
We want TO urge upon you TO use
every means at your disposal to secure
such active cooperation from both
dealer and consumer. that orders may
be on hand early enough this summer
to enable manufacturers to send out
every car loaded to capacity plus 10
per cent. We feel certain that when
the necessity for this action is brought
forcibly to the attention of the
farmer-upon whose response success
depends-the cooperation secured will
approach 100 per cent.
We must get results, but results Sc
cured through free cooperation are
much to be preferred to results SCI
cured by official regulation.

Handel's Duel.

Not many Of the great composers
have gone down in history as having
taken part as one of the principals In
a duel. Among them, perhaps this
honor must be awarded solely to Han
del. The cause of this affair was TO
be found in one of the curious GUS
toms of his day.
In the early part of the last CEN
fury it was the custom for the director
Of an opera to play the accompani-
ments on harpsichord hich had its
place on the stage. Distinguished
personages who were present often
claimed seat on the stage and felt
free to interpose a running fire Of
audible conversation and comment.
This is now relegated to that part of
the audience who have little musical
understanding and less Of good man
ners.
In the early part of Handles car
eer he was associated with composer
named Matheson, a man of talent, but
of no great depth, but from whose
writings we may catch some enjoyable
glimpse of the customs of his time.
On the occasion in question, in Math-
eson's opera of "ClebpatrsLf the
composer was acting the part of An
tony, and Handel was seated at the
harpsichord. When Antony died,
early in the opera, Matheson came in
to the orchestra and desired to take
HandePs seat as director. There
was some excuse for his wish as
Matheson had been the regular direc-
tor of the opera.

RAILROAD ADMINISTRATIONS
URGES FARMERS TO ORDER
FALL SUPPLIES EARL

The following letter from the car
service section of the United States
railroad administration serves to EN-
phasize the Importance of conveying
to every farmer the fact that he can
help the transportation situation and
also safeguard himself by placing his
fertilizer order early-Now.

Gentlemen: The car service section

istratiOn desires To call attention to
the necessity for still heavier loading
of fertilizer cars to be used for sum-
mer and fall business.
Excellent results have followed the
efforts in this direction already made
by fertilizer manufacturers and ship
pers, and we are able to report that
the average carload of fertilizer this
spring was from 20 to 80 per cent
heavier than In previous seasons. This
economy of space has saved the equiv
alent of many thousands of freight
cars. In other words, large numbers
of cars have been released for other
urgent wartime needs-certainly saw
ing of great Importance I'm these days
of severe car shortage.
We feel, however, that even greater
saving must be effected. Practically
every car should go out loaded to ca
pacity plus 10 per cent. The demand
for cars to move war supplies to the
seaboard is increasing daily. Every
shipper. must contribute his share
toward making un the extra car sup

MORE SMALL ARMS FOR
EXPEDITIONARY FORCES;
Production COST DROPS

German timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with american
40 caliber automatic pistols has
brought about a change in the equip
ment of the American Expeditionary
Forces by the war. department, and
the ordnance department is rushing
production of these weapons. About
5000 are turned out daily and pro-
duction is increasing. The impress
sion exists that shot from an Amer
lean as takes a man out Of action
completely. Men hit from the smaller
German pistols frequently continue
in action effectively. The As caliber
was adopted by the United States
army in 1911.
Desp tie the heavy increased de-
mand for these pistols the ammuni-
ton branch of the ordnance depart
menth as effected a saving during the
past two calendar months of nearly
$2,000,000, mostly on small arms am
munition, such as .45 caliber ball
cartridges, 80 shells, and on clips and
bandcleers.
The total savings by the ordnance
department for these two months
through salvagel waste prevention,
and the utilization or sale Of discarded
materials have aggregated $8,757,-
OPS. Cost of Vickers machine guns
has been reduced $322.35 each; Colt
machine guns, $284.16 each; Lewis
machine guns, $22 each. Government
rifles now cost $22 each, a reduction
of $13 each.

Musical Topics
Edited by Mrs. X. L. Skahen

But Handel. with that irritabjlity
which characterized him in later life,
crustily refused to give up his place,
whereupon a violent quarrel ensued
and as they were leaving the theater
Matheson gave him hearty slap In
the face. Handel drew his sword,
Matheson defended himself, and a
duel was fought then and there. Luck
lily, perhaps, for our musical litera-
ture, Matheson's sword was broken
against a metal button on his oppon-
ent's coat, and the honor of each was
vindicated! Soon after, the two
composers were at peace and hearty
good friends again. This was
good example of a discord, prepared
and resolved.
Too LiteraL
An English singer, Anna STORAGE,
when visiting Vienna, sang before the
court on a certain gala occasion ana
was the recipient of many compli-
ments. The emperor, passing her in
the fete, politely asked her if she was
enjoying herself, and also if there was
anything he could do for her. Not
understanding that court language
must not always be taken too literal
ly, she calmly replied, Eyes, your
Majesty, | am quite thirsty; will you
get me a glass of water?"
The effect of this request on the
bystanders may be imagined. The
emperor, however, had the good
sesne not to be offended, and, ordering
an attendant to wait on the lady,
smilingly passed on.

THE BORGSTROMS

Among the legions of Napoleon at Leip- zig was the grandfather of James Borg strom of Chicago In 1864, when Ger many forced her world domination plans down the throats of the Danes, James Borgstrom' father was fighting tooth and nail against Germany But in spite of his efforts Schleswig-Holstein was gobbled up by Germany.
 In 1914 none appreciated the scheme of Germany more than did this same James Borgstrom, and when the United States de clared state of war with Germany, MT. Borgstrom, according to a Chicago news paper writer, took his two sons aside and told them the story of Borgstrom bitter ness against the kaiser and all things Ger man.
 Your great-grandfather fought them, but he was alone Your grandfather fought them, but he was only one. But there are two Borgstroms to visit the hate of hun dred years upon the head of the kaiser. Go, my boys, and get him.
 And today. a hundred years after the battles of their great-grandfather, Sergt. L. J. Borgstrom, 22 years old, is with the United States infantry, while his brother, Henry, 20 years old, is private with the engineers. When two Borgstroms get to- gether in one big effort, the proud father declares, the war is as good as won.

A GREAT LITTLE CITY

Belfast is little town of big undertak ings. It possesses the biggest plants of their kind in the world in five distinct in- dustries It has the biggest shipyard. It has the biggest tobacco factory. It has the biggest linen mill It has the biggest rope works and the biggest distillery. Pretty good isn't it, for city whose population last year was only 4l7,000?
 Most industrial cities have certain nat ural advantages Belfast has none of these. It has not an ounce of coal or iron within easy reach, and 1t has produced great shipbuilding industry. Four-fifths of the flax used in its great linen industry has to be imported, and all the tobacco used in its great tobacco factories comes from the Southern United States. It has not even a good natural harbor The town Is built on what is locally known as 'slob land, v which means swamp land and its harbor would be silted up with mud in year if it were not dredged regularly at great ex- pense. Yet, in spite of all these disadvant- ages, it has succeeded, solely by the grit industry and determination of its people in building up industries in which 1t leads the world.

Hey hum, there Is no scene or strife or stranger that can come be- tween memory and the old home town days.

Cold voices sound on our ears, harsh faces loom in the gray light close by. Stern and cold and hard is the stranger into whose land we have come.
