WAR CHEST DISADVANT-
AGE TO RED CROSS

Evidence multiplies that the war
chet plan of raising funds for the
Red Cross is losing favor in Central
Division. Matoon and Joliet, two
large chapters in Illinois. are aband-
oning the war chest plan in favor or
the regular Red Cross War Fund
campaign, and other chapters are
seeing the disadvantages of the war
chest method.
The Mattoon Chapter, although
changing from the war chest plan at
a late hour, has undertaken to take
its full part in the Second Red Cross
War Fund Campaign now in full
blast and officially designated to

ford Miss Prick much pleasure and
the few days she will be in Denver

Sailor Now German Prisoner

Men serving on the destroyer Jacob
Jones of the American fleet in foreign
waters had terrific fight with the sea
after their ship had been sunk by a
German submarine. The attack came
suddenly, late in the afternoon. Al
though every effort was made to re-
turn the fight and save the ship, she
finally settled and went down. Many
of the men got into the boats ana on
the RATS and a great number were
seen swimming in the sea. Two of
these were picked up by the Germans.
One of these men, John Francis Muir
ply, is now held as prisoner by the
Germans. After having gone through
the ordeal of being torpedoed Murphy
made a heroic struggle to save mem
bers of the ships crew. No further
news has been heard from him beyond
the fact that he is held prisoner In
Germany. Murphy was a ships cook,
first class, on the Jones.

GOT HIM STARTED
Wife's Conversation May Have
Been for Effect.
While She DepIored the Average Mans
Lack of knowledge of Tools He
Evidently Had Been Doing
Some Thinking.

The woman put down the magazine
she had been reading and addressed
herself to the family in general
There she cried, "it says exactly
what 1 have been thinking for ages
and ages and never had sufficient sense
to write about
'What is that?" inquired her hus-
band sIeepily.
1T says that boys should be pre-
pared for matrimony exactly as girls
should" replied the woman. "It says
that they should have a course of
training in putting up pictures in do
ing simple repairs to the plumbing, in
taking care of the furnace, in hang
ing curtains, making shelves and do
ing other carpentering work, just as
girls should be taught how to cook
and keep house"
At this her husband looked self-con-
scious and he resumed his reading with
an ostentatious air of absorption, so
that his better half was fain to con-
ttnue her remarks to the more recep-
tive sister who sat by.
country should husband have had
some manual training" she went on.
"For instance, last week we found it
impossible to turn off one of the spig-
OTIS that fills the bathtub. A full
Stream of water ran from it all day.
l telephoned Walter of the tragedy,
and he replied that I was not to bother,
for he would fix it as soon as he came
/ home.
| when he reached home that even
4 Ing he found that he could not do any
more to check the water than I had
done, and so he sent a plumber out
from town the next morning.
The plumber examined the leak, said
that the washer on the spigot had
worn out, and that if 1 would give him
a washer he would repair it at once.
But I had no washer - what is
washer, anyway? And so he had to
go back into town to get one. He
returned two hours later, put on the
washer, stopped the leak and sent US
bill for ST.
"But it was a peculiar sort Of
NoohCi, lHlc11 uplSu AtI nuSDdAu
apologetically. eff it had been just a
plain washer I could have done it."
His wife disregarded this explana-
ton. "Then the laundry tubs became
stopped up," she went on, "and though
I worked at them with a hatpin and
the poker, 1 could not open them. The
plumber had to come out from town
again. He brought with him long
stick with a rubber cup on the end of
it, placed this cup over the vent in the
tub, pressed, and 10 all was well. The
bill for this piece of work was $3.50.
ii wanted a simple shelf put up in
the bathroom and the carpenter who
put it up charged $3.50 for that job
The door leading to our side porch
had not been locked for year because
no one in this family can move lock
Sometimes 1 wish that I had married
a carpenter or plumber. It, must be
lovely to have man who can use
tools constantly in the house"
And as for the woman's husband, he
put aside his book impatiently ant
arose. "Well, get me the nails an(
the boards and hammer and I'll make
that window box for you that you've
been pining for" he said. "Tll show
you that 1 am as good as carpentel
any day in the week. k."-Providenct

The Adventurous Season.

It is curious how at this moment of
the year all the world seems astir. ]
suppose there is no moment in any of
the seasons when the whole army of
agriculture, regulars and reserves, is
so fully drafted for service in the
fields. And all the doors and windows,
both in the little villages and on the
farms, stand wide open to the sun
shine, and all the women and girls are
busy in the yards and gardens. Such
a fine, active, gossipy, adventurous
world as it is at this moment of the

Good Word for the Mule.

"a mule" says one army officer, in
singing Maud's praises, 'is most en-
phatically not the low-down, ornery
animal that she is commonly supposed
to be. AS far as strength, sure-footed-
ness and staying power are concerned,
there is no comparison between her
and a horse.
81 have never seen a mule ratified.
And let me tell you, their ears are not
big for nothing. They hear the least
little sound and are not backward in
lifting their voices and telling you
about it. They are indispensable in
trench warfare"

want Rabbits for Food.

Shortage of meat has revived the
popularity of the rabbit in England.
and the Guilford food control commit
tee has asked the town council to-
finance Il scheme for starting a rabbit
warren in order to increase the food

ming with 40 tame rabbits, there would

A cake was brought to the table with

Too Good to Think About.

An inventor who has attracted con-

found a way to drive a battleship

it to be operated in this way.-The
