Wet Weather Friends.

Everybody has seen what is called
a wet weather spring" In the
rainy season this spring, fed by shall
low rills and wet top soil, sends forth
fine stream Of, water--bold, clear
and good to look upon. But after the
rain clears away It begins to fail, and
finally dry hole is the only thing
left Of the one-time sparkling spring.
There are many so-called friends
who are much like this wet weather
spring. They show great ,boldness
while fortune smiles; when dry and
trying times come they recede from
view. They vanish in the smoke of
battle; they run away in the heat of
the fight; they begin to cool off when
things begin to go to ragged edge.
They make jolly companions while
your larder is full, but scorn your
humble condition when poverty
knocks. They comfort you when you
do not need comfort, lend to you
when YOU do not need the loan, fight
for you when you are able to fight for
yourself; but when your case is re-
versed their conduct undergoes a
transformation. They withhold helr
when you need it, strike you when
you are down, speak i'll of you when
you need to be favorably spoken Of,
and withhold from you when You are
distressed by poverty.
1t Is well to cherish true friendship
to the fullest. One true friend is
worth ten thousand "wet weather.

=, Putting ground glass in candy for
soldiers Is about as despicable and
abominable a thing as can we'll be
imagined; but 1t is hardly any worse
than other things which German or
pro-German plotters have done and
which have been proved against
them. The opinion which is said to
be forming at Washington Is exactly
correct. The people are tired Of the
policy OF sending such men to jail for
a few months or interning them for
the period Of the war In comfortable
quarters with good pay and better
food than tho average American gets.

plots Of the Industrial Workers Of
the World to poison cattle and burn
grain, farm houses and lumber mills
along the Pacific coast were revealed
in confession to-day by Fritz Hag-
erman, alias Charles Aisenbach. who
said he had participated in some Of
the actions proposed, according to a
statement by officials of the fire pre-
vention bureau of the Pacific.
Hagerman confessed, the officials
said, that he had set fire last Septem-
Der to lumber mill in Lassen coun-
ty, and at the time Of his arrest, was
on his way back to the plant which
he was contemplating igniting again.
Hagerman said, according to the
Fire Prevention Bureau officials, that
1t was a common understanding that
the alleged plots to destroy cattle and
buildings were supported by German
money. Hagerman, the officials as
serted, Drofessed sympathy for the
Germans. He came to the United
States from Germany in 1910, they
said.
1t is understood that Hagerman,
| arrested by the municipal authorities

Madison, was painfully hurt while
attempting to board moving
freight train at the Southern depot
here Monday. He had purchased a
ticket to Madison. and having some
business to attend to in Westminster,

Judged its speed. Fortunately, he
pushed his body from the car as he
fell. The toes on one foot were ter
ribly mashed and the ankle on the
other foot was also badly bruised.
The toes were amputated at the
Westminster hospital, and physicians
believe that they will be able to save
the other foot. Mr.. Cleland was re-

$5,UOO,OOo STOLEN IN uIAOT,
Eleven Men Indicted for Frauds
Against the Government.

New York, Feb. 2l.---An allcged d
countrywide plot involving illegal
profitecring in army cloth at the cx-
pcnsc of the government was dis
closed here to-day with the indict-
mcnt by the Federal grand jury Of
eleven men, one Il clerk i'm the quar-
tcrmaSter's department Of the army,
on charges of fraud.
Investigations which will extend to
other cities, Federal authorities be-
lieve, will show the government has
suffered to the extent ~of $1,000, 900
but at the same time it was stated
The indictments to-day would serve
10 terminate further conspiring and
save the government from millions
more inlosses.
The accused are Louis Davidson,
Lyman IIorwitz and his son, Benja-
min, in business at EIorwitZ Il Musko-
CO.; Jacob Weistcin and his son;
Abraham Pursch and Leon Levine, Of
~Pursch & Levine; Barney Robinson
ana Morris A!ewitZ. shipping clerks
ufacturcrs' Company, all Of this city,
and Ira d. Janowsky, civilian
clerk in the Quartcrmastcr's office
here. The manufacturers are all
accused Of having received and re-
tanned cloth. Robinson and Alewitz
are charged with perjury before the
grand jury, aud Janowsky is alleged
to have destroyed government re-
cepits so rs to conceal thefts Of the
cloth.
Eight Of the defendants are manu-
facturers Of uniforms.
Tho profltcering is made possible,
the Federal investigators explained,
by the methods in which the cloth
Is cut. Prom material which the
government estimated would provide
dozen uniforms, the manufacturers
would cut ten or less, according to
authorities, and the excess cloth
would be resold, either to the gov
ernment itself or to other manufac-
turerS.
Some Of the defendants, Lieut.
BarnitZ said, represented to the gov.
ernment that their "clippings'
amounted to 3 per cent, whereas, &c.
tually due to their methods of cloth
cutting, they amounted to per cent
the difference representing the eX
tanned.
Owing to the alleged activity OF
Janowsky in connection with the pur
ported plot, it was easy for conceal
mcnt to be effected.
