viously known as Solomon's temple
and it was from this the Sir Knights
took their name, the knights of the
Temple.
The order, while fighting for the
church and the Holy city, and while
their chivalry was praised by kings,
prelates and even the pope, however
had no religious standing with the
pope. Hugh de Payne visited the pope
and asked for such recognition. The
pope referred him to the council OF
Troyes. st. Matthew bishop of ST.
Albano, presided at that council, ana
he appointed St Bernard to draw up
the statutes for the new. order. and
prescribe for it a dress. Seventy-tWo
statutes were drawn up which re-
Ceived the sanction of Honorius Sec
ond. Long before the death of St.
Bernard in 1l53 the new order was
established in. nearly every kingdom
of Latin ChristendOm. The dress was
white and Pope Eugenius the Third,
years aftcrward added a red cross
thereto.
The order, because of It's purpose
and the high praise which 1t received
from those in high authority in

From 1871 for a period of 140
years the history of the order is the
history Of the Crusaders. They were

MISUNDERSTANDING 2, 1918
AMERICAS WISE MOVE.

1t is announced that American SOL
diers are TO be rushed from the train
ing camps Of this country to the bat
tlefields of France, where they will
bc mixed with the British and French
trained units.
American pride would prefer to see
the American fighting under the stars
and Stripes, but if he can give better
service in canning the kaiser by
fighting under the Union Jack or the
Tricolor that is where he belongs,
1t has been shown over and over
again that raw troops, mixed with
veterans, can fight as well as vete-
rams, or nearly so. The training II
faster and more effective than is pos
sible in the best training camp,
where all the trained are raw and
the only experienced men are the
trainers. Men learn from each other,
by seeing and doing, and even a mill
tiaman is steady under fire when
he is at the side Of veteran.
There is still another phase of the
matter which must not be lost sight
of. Lacking just three days, We have
been in the war for a year. Except
for the money and the foodstuffs we
have supplied to the allies and the
moral encouragement we have given
them and the aid our destroyers have
rendered in combating the subma-
rines, we have done appreciably moth
ing.
While we have been of incalcuable
service in the things enumerated
that we have been ineXcusably slow
breaking down financially and for
lack of supplies-our great nation
must do its bit-a huge bit-on the
battlefield.
That we should have done more
during the twelve months we have
been at war, no one will deny. First
1t was delays in the supply of arms
and clothing, then it was delay in the
shipbuilding program. now we know
that we have been inXclusively slow
in the manufacture of aiplanes,
But all of these things are being
remedied, and while the arrival will
be beIatcd one, some time in the
coming twelve months a mighty wal
machine will be hurled against the
enemy, and it will be under Old
Glory.
But until that time comes, the best
thing to be done is what President
Wilson is doing now: Sending Amer.
ican soldiers to be mixed in with this
trained units of the French and tho
British. Greater man-power must be
had on the western front just a!
quickly as it can be sent there.

SKATING ON A RAILROAD TRACK.


How would you like to skate along
a railroad track? You can do it now,
thanks to an invention of Dwight Il.
McNamee of Heman, Okla.
Mr.. McNamce has devised a skate
for use along trackways. The four
wheels of the skate are provided with
hubs which engage with the top of
the rail, and with rounded flanges
which hold the wheels to the track.
You must use supporting rod
with this skate. The rod has n short,
straight handle, from which it curves
forward and sideways so that the roll
er at its end runs along the opposite
rail. The roller also is provided with
flanges
Keep the balancing rod AHEAD of
you and you will not be in any danger
of railing forward as you propel your
self along with your free foot.

M Our Liberty Bell.

The Liberty bell was not rung on the 4th of July as supposed. It took four days before the Declaration of Independence was signed and could be approved in all the thirteen states so it was rung the Sth of July, IT'S, to proclaim the birth of the United States just 142 years ago.
 The bell was cast by Thomas Lester of Whitechapel London, and sent to Philadelphia in 1752.
 It was hung in the statehouse Aug. 27th of that year, and crecked, but was easily repaired.
 It was next rung Oct. S1st, 1765, when the stamp act was put in opera tion by King George III of England. The bell was muffled and tolled
 It was rung again April 25th, 1776, after the battle of Lexington.
 The Liberty bell was taken from Philadelphia in September, TIT, for safe keeping, and returned June 27th, ITS.
 It was rung Oct 24th, 1TS1 announc- ing the surrender of Cornwallis. April 18th, 17S3, it proclaimed the treaty of peace ending the Revolu- tionary war
 Dec. 18th, 179S, it tolled for the death of George Washing gton. On July 4th, 1926, it was rung to celebrate the Seth anniversary of in dependence.
 On the same day just 59 years later on July Sth, 1885, the great bell tolled for the last time for the death of John Marshall at one time chief justice of the United States. While ringing, great bombing noise was heard. The bell was crack ed-this time never to be rung again DELSIE AMES, Age F. Nnrwich

 A soft, south wind was stirring the leaves on the trees.
 The air was full of the songs of birds.
 My friend. Robert, and I, were walking along a shady road in the country. Now and then we stopped to gather some flowers, or to look at the blossoms on the vines and bushes by the roadside.
 Now and then we saw a squirrel running up 2 tree, oc beautiful bird flying among the branches.
 Look there What is that? cried Robert all at once. Some little crea- ture was hopping along in the road before us. We both ran to see what it was. But Robert came up with it first.
 "Oh! it is young robin out of it's nesti" And so 1t was. He was not old enough to fly. His wings sare not long enough or strong enough to be of much use to him, Hop! hop! hop! on he went.

How Suuar is Grn,Mn

The land is first plowed and thrown into ridges from six to eight feet apart. Then a. small trench is made in the top of each ridge and in each trench two or three rows. Of cuttings from the main stalk are laid end to end. 4 machine has been invented for covering the cuttings though on the smaller plantations this is still done by hand The expense of planting q large plantation is great for from four each acre. The new shoots spring soon the rich, dark fields are&covered with waving green leaves. The plant grows rapidly under the heat of the southern sun, and by harvest time has attained a height of perhaps fifteen feet
 For several years the cane will spring up from the same roots, but it will gradually become of poorer quality. Then the old roots are blow ed up and new cuttings planted. liar Yesting begins usually ir October.
 It is better to let the cane grow just as late as possible, but it must he cut before frost comes to injure it.
 Negro workmen using large knives made for the purpose, go through the fields cutting the stalks very close to the ground. The lower part Of the stalk yields the most sugar, so that the plant is cut as near the roots as possible
