I pledge myself, if elected,
to Enforce all Laws
No one has a right to say certain
laws should be enforced and the VIOLA

The law against the sale of liquor
in Leavenworth is openly and fragrant
ly violated every day. believe the
liquor law, like other laws, should be
enforced, and promise, if elected that [
will do my best to enforce the liquor
and all other laws.
I was solicited by almost one hun
dred voters of LeavenWorth, who
signed their names to petition asking
me to become a candidate for mayor
on the distinct pledge that I enforce
with the same lrnpartiality the law re-
lating to the unlawful sale of liquor
that the community expects of all other
laws
If elected further pledge that will give

Herojsm That IL Real.

For heroism when the engine room

Niels Anderson, chief machinist's mate,
United States navy, has been given
official commentator. The act oc-
Cured when the exhaust lines Of the
steering engine were carried away by
the breaking Of the tiller, causing the
engine room to fill with steam. With
out hesitation Anderson went down a
ladder to the compartment, but was
driven back. Again he made two more
attempts. The third was successful,
and, cropping his way through the
cloud of steam, he cut 1t of. Ander-
son enlisted In the navy at Norfolk,

TAUGHT INSECTS TO THINK
Remarkable Act Of Scientist That
Hardly Seems Worth the Time
IL Must Have Taken.

John w. Coghlin has demonstrated
what patience and perseverance will
accomplish, and has also exploded the
old-time theory that 1t was impossible
to teach insects to understand the hu-
man voice and action. Some time since
he had the good fortune to discover
hill of Madagascar neuroptera, or
marching ants, says the Pittsburgh
Press. They were about the size Of
the common June bug and Of a dirty
brown color, and he says that they
are numerous In India and South At
rica-that he can account for finding
a hill Of them In Maine by being
brought there on some vessel. MI.
Coghlin invited some Of his friends to
his camp at Patterns Pond, where he
amused them by putting the neurop-
tereans (as he called them) through a
course of sprouts. The way he caused
the little army to go through their
evolutions was a marvel to all pres
emit. Marching by twos and by fours,
over inclines and bridges made OF
toothpicks, with the regularity of
trained troops, he finally caused them
to break ranks by lighting a match
before the leaders. He says that arti-
fetal light will confuse them; there
fore they can be made to perform only
In daylight.

National Prayer Days.

The first time the people of the Unit
ed States were called upon to observe
a day of national prayer was May 8,
179S, by proclamation Of President
John Adams. A controversy had aris-
en- between this country and France
and all Americans were called upon
to pray for a continuation Of peace.
In 1915, when the United States was
sbout to make war on Algiers, Pres
ident Madison proclaimed day of
prayer. During the Civil war three
presidential proclamations were issued
appointing days of prayer for peace.
In 1865 the authorities called upon the
people to pray for Lincoln, and in 1881
President Arthur proclaimed day of
prayer to mark the burial of President
Garfield In the autumn of 1914 Pres
ident Wilson issued his proclamation
for prayers on "Peace Sundays"

NEED FURNITURE IN GERMANY
Problem Of Its Supply Has Added One
More to the Troubles of the Gov
eminent.

The German government has so far
been unable to find any substitute for
furniture, and has not yet had the
temerity to ask its subjects to follow
the example of their Turkish allies
and sit on the floor. The result is a
scarcity that has caused secondhand
dealers to reap enormous profits.
A secondhand kitchen chair that
formerly cost about so cents now sells
for So. An old bedstead that used to
sell for 50 now brings $50. Second
hand dealers have secured the country
and old tables and chairs have been
brought from cellars and garrets, but
the demand still Outruns the supply
and prices already 1900 per cent above
normal, threaten to go higher.
The problem is likely TO become
more acute as soon as the war ends.
Thousands of couples that married
when the men were called into the
army will wish to establish homes of
their own. The government has pro-
vided many houses in advance, but
these will be of little use without
furniture.
Some urge that the government
make the same rule regarding second
hand furniture as Is now in force in
the old clothes trade; put the private
dealers out of business, fix lower prices
and make it crime for anyone to sell
the secondhand articles except to the
state.
A number Of capitalists and furni-
ture manufacturers have formed an
association to make new furniture and
Sell ii at four per cent above cost on
the installment plan, requiring one
third of the purchase price as first pay
ment. The cost of new furniture, even
under this arrangement, is almost pro
hibitive, because of the scarcity of ma
terials and the high wages of labor.

JAPAN'S SMALL RieE GARDENS
In Comparison With Americas Miles
Of Farms They Might Almost Be
Termed Laughable.

Almost one-half of the land capable
Of cultivation In Japan is planted in
rice. Handkerchief gardens would
perhaps best describe the little rice
fields. many of which are no larger
than a tennis court, are equally fiat
and are surrounded by n ms Of earth
to hold the water when the fields
are flooded.
The average rice field In japan Is
about one acre and half in size; but
large or small, each field must be lev
eled and each must have its rim or
dixie. There must be a system OF
canals to bring water to the fields and
another system of bitches to take 1t
away when 1t is no longer needed.
1t is said that there are 12,OOO
square miles of rice land In Japan, the
greater part of which has been pre-
pared with an almost infinite amount
Of labor. That area Of land cultivated
in rice virtually feeds nation Of so,

ShoveIinu Out Gas.

Weighing considerably more than
the atmosphere, the poisonous gases
employed In modern warfare always
seek lower levels. Thus the gas clouds
penetrate trenches and deep dugouts.
and in most cases 1t is a matter Of
many hours before they become suffi-
GENTLY diluted with the atmosphere to
permit of safe breathing. So the mat
ter resolves itself into a problem Of
driving the poisonous fumes out of
the trenches and underground shelters,
or at least thinning them out until
the air Is again made safe.
For this reason American soldiers
now in France literally Shovel" poi
sonous fumes out Of their trenches
Attached to shovel Is a sort of can
vas scoop or 'fiapper" which permits
the men to heave the heavy gases over
the parapets and beat the fumes and
dissipate them In the surrounding

HEAD OF GIANT BUSINESS

Who's Teagle? This was ques-
ton generally asked when ii was an
nounced that Walter Clark Teagle
had been chosen president of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
the worlds greatest oil refiners since
the disintegration of the original
Standard Oil company. Aside from his
business associates and personal
friends few had ever heard of Teagle.
He is only thirty-nine years old, and
his success in life has been due to in
dustry and the careful training of his
mind in absorbing infinite detail.
In Cleveland, where he was born
on May l, 1873, both he and his fam
lily were known perhaps as well as any
citizen of that community.
Mr.. Teagle's father, who was or
English birth, became interested In the
oil business and 1t was in his fathers
Offices that Walter Teagle as boy re-
ceived his first business inspirations
and instructions. He entered Cornell
