President Wilson's latest note, saying
it is an alteration of his former
standpoint betrays a lack of COM

It is also said that the presidents s

IMPORTANT RED CROSS NOTICE

1Hc OCdld hcQ OEOSS OudpC0T mas
just received an urgent appeal from
the government for the conservation
of two metals needed in the prose-
c1tion of the war. One is a metal
which can be used merely by conserv-
ing heretofore waste products-this
metal is the homely tin which is used
for so many domestic purposes-the
other is the rarer but equally essen
tial metal of platinum which many
of our members possesses in the
form of jewelry and other articles
that they may be willing to sacrifice
for their country's netds.
Surely one or the other of these
metals can be collected by the Red
Cross members in our town.
We ask our members and the pub
lis generally to keep for us every bit
of tin foil, every empty tube Of salve
or tooth paste, every old pewter toy
or vessel Of any sort. TIN is made
from these and we MUST HAVE TIN
TO CARRY ON THE WAR.
Platinum we have said is more
precious but that. too. many of oul
members have. We ask the help Of
each patriotic citizen; of every store
using tin in any form; of every per.
SON willing and anxious to help wiz
the war.
We cannot use tin cans-they ar.
tin "in name only"-but WE CAN
AND WILL USE EVERY OTHEF
FORM OF TIN. For further infor
nation apply to w. P. Preer, Chair
man Conservation Committee.
Take or send your tin to the Ma
rion Hardware store, or notify Mr.
Preer, and he viii send for it.

BY M. QUAD.


After dinner Mr.. Bowser lighted his
cigar and sat down ON the front steps
to smoke. The cat sat with him and
for an hour he seemed to have many
thoughts and paid but little heed to
what was going on around him. BY and
Dy ne went into the house and sat
down with Mrs. Bowser and presently
said
Il was having revery out there by
myself and it has made me feel sad"
Then you were thinking of sad
things?' queried Mrs. Bowser.
Yes, they were sad. I was think
ng of mothers death. She called me
to her when she was dying and told
me to always speak the truth. I can
remember every word she said. Dear
mother, but hope she has long
been with the angels"
"That is the reason why you always
speak the truth, now, is it?'
Mr.. Bowser looked at her rather
doubtfully. He realized that he lied
sometimes, as all men do, but he hoped
she would never find him out and
was, therefore, not using any sarcasm.
"And my father" continued Mr..
Bowser, when he was dying he
called me to him and told me always

Mrs. Bowser made no reply. She
rose UP and took from the top Of her
piano a paper and handed it to him.
Mr.. BOwser wiped tear from his
eyes and looked and read. Then the
sadness went away. 1t didn't take
three seconds to vanish, and in an.
other second he was flourishing his
arms about and crying out:
''The blamed scoundrels-the rob-
bers-the extortionists! Here's our
gas bill for the last month, and
they have put E dollar more onto

And he went right away, carrying
the bill in his hands and fourishing il
around his head at brief intervals. He
found the gas Office locked. He gave a
slight kick on the door. Then he stood
back and looked all over the front Of
the office building, and presently he
put the bill in his pocket and walked
back home. He was no longer sad. Ht

Dynamite Saves Potatoes,

A resourceful farmer found a new
way to use dynamite and saved a near
flooded field. Unusually heavy rains
filed all the neighborhood drains and
bitches; In this emergency the owner
put down q number Of holes eight to
twelve feet deep with post auger and
exploded a charge Of dynamite in the
bottom of each. This opened up pas
sages into the sandy subsoil, through
which the surplus water drained rap
idly, and the crop was saved, although
many nearby crops were ruined by the
excess Of water standing in the fields.

! It. Speaking of your old sch0oimates,
you once told me that you were so
madly in love with schoolgirl named
Sarah Pitkins that your mother had to
send for the doctor for you. Do you
know whether she is dead or living?"
Mr.. Bowser did not answer the
question. He had forgotten that he
was fool enough to tell his wife about
that love affair, and he also suddenly
recollected that he had heard less
than year before, that Sarah Pit
kins had grown up to be a woman
weighing over 200 pounds, and that
she had married the clown of cir
Gus. 1t was just as well to let this
matter rest, but the sadness still re-
manned, and he said:
my Uncle Joe was one of the best
men that ever lived. He had heart
as kind as an angel. He stopped
moving many times in the meadow
to let the crickets and grasshoppers
get away into the next field. He told
me to be kind to even rats, and / have
never forgotten it. Poor Uncle Joe.
he has long been beneath the sod, but
his memory comes back to me as green

be kind to rats were the last words
he ever spoke to me-"
"And that's why you keep three rat
traps down In the cellar all the time,
and why were you chasing big rat
with club the other night?" softly
answered Mrs. Bowser.
Mr. Bowser SHE'D off at once. He
hadn't done the fair thing by his Uncle
Joe. On the contrary, he had been
death on rats for the last 20 years, and
had boosted of how many he had
killed. He leaned his head on his
hand and snuffied little. and then
said:

am gone? There are many who claim
