SINN FEINERS ARE
IN NEED OF GUNS

Dublin.-(by mail).-Raids for arms
continue In Ireland, and some are re-
ported daily. AS a rule h Sim Fem
ers meet with no resistance in COM
Wandering whatever weapons are dis
covered in a raided house. But oc,
casionally the owners fight and the
raiders suffer. An attack was made
recently by six armed men with black
ened faces on a woman'u house at
Ferbane. A retired army officer living
in the house captured two Of the raid
ers an drove the other away. Tht
prisoners were committed for trial Il

In a case near Tulsk, in Roscommop
a party of men with blactened face
raided a farmers house in search q
arms. They demanded his gun, an,
when he refused, dragged him out an,
handled his roughly. He escaped int
the house, and. finding his gun, turns
1t against his assailants, who fled. TIL,
weapons seized by the Sim Feiner
are in many instances seized by the
police in counter raids. Tue other day
several shot guns and ammunition
were found in Tipperary. I'm one house
during the seizure the police came
upon a board Of $50 pounds in silver
which they took away.

That In hardly you official View"
The official view is Cor the FOOLS"
But you believe in the Prussian pur-
pose behind all this" asked the British
officer.
II do, as in nothing else" replied tho
German. "The Prussian purpose is
God. There is no other. Prussia will
rend the veil Of the temple, but h

sian might the world as 1t exists today

the prisoner. THE new virtue y

Life is war-all Of life that Is
healthy. Peace is only striving for
mastery with Other weapons. That is
the law Of nature"
$50 everyone will fight till everyone
is dead?"
''The weakest will go under. They
are the diseased. The stronger will
live; and after that the stronger and
stronger, till there is perfect health"
But it may be hat Prussia will KEEP
a few slaves?"
Certainly" said the German. "Thoss
who care not to fight that they mny

II had had enough Of It," the officer
concluded. 1T was nauseating. But
he man was genuine in his beliefs, n
so obsessed by his elementary motion
Of virility that it was q waste OF time
20 argue with him. His conceptions
we're quite definite and not a doubt as

IT'S a case for the heavy artillery,

the major suddenly, as four figures APP

MARRIAGE COST MILLIONS.

New York-Three children Of thelate
DR.. Matthew s. Borden have lost their
legal fight to share In the millions left
by their grandfather, Matthew G. D.
Borden, q cotton financier. He was ir-
revicably opposed to his sons secret
versity to the daughter Of a New Haven
tailor, and to the subsequent renewal
Of his marriage vows.
A codicil to his will disinherits the
son who chose love rather than wealth.
He directed that neither his son daugh-
terinlaw nor their issue should derive
any benefit from his estate.
Both father and son are now dead.
The daughters Of the latter, Misses
Gladys Minerva, Muriel Durfee and
Harriet Dorothy Borden, all younger
than 1S, and who live with their mother,
through their guardian, asked that the
codicil denying them S2,019, 900 which
would have been their fathers share,
be declared invalid.
Hearings were conducted before John
Couch, as referee, upon the accounting
filed by the late John w. Sterling, Rert-
ram H. Borden and Howard S. Borden,
executors Of the estate. They charged
themselves with receiving So, 165. go and
having a balance Of SIS. 120, 936. The lat
ter two executors, sons OF the testator,
announced their intention to divide
them Dr.. BorQenS snare, winch would
entitle them each to $1,009, 500. Objec-
lions to this disposition were filed In
behalf Of DR.. Borden's children.
The girls are entitled to collect in
terest on the sum for two years. repre-
senting the period between the death
Of their father and the testator. This
Is expected to aggregate more than
800, 900.
The stand taken by the elder Borden
against the marriage was assailed by
the special guardian for the children.
The codicil, said Daniel j. Mooney,
their counsel. had the effect of offering
a premium for the dissolution Of the
marriage by its suspension of income.
The lawyer contented that the girls
at least were entitled to one-half of the
principal under article eight Of the will,
which provided for such a payment to
each Of the testator's sons when they
attained the Of 35. DR.. Borden
was Al when he met his death.
Referee Couch admitted that several
clauses Of the codicil touching upon
the marriage were invalid as contrary
to public policy. The interest OF the
testator was paramount, however, he
held.

FOOD FACTS

Picnics and appetities are too close
ly related ever to be separated. Since
the days when Christmas and the
Sunday School picnic were the an
nual events of our lives, we have con-
tlnued to look on picnics as days of
festivity and much eating The dan
ger of cutting loose" and eating
and wasting everything in sight is
still with us on our camping trips and
picnics in spite of the strict conserva-
ton rules we observe in our homes.
If our armies overseas grew reckless
on holidays and shot their ammuni-
ton into the air, the Huns would be
over here before long. Food is am
munition; do not waste it even on
holidays.
Remember these facts when you
plan day at the lake:
Sandwiches made from part or all
wheat bread are not camp necessity.
Brown bread made OF corn or barley
makes excellent sandwiches and corn
mullins can be heated and served hot
from a camp fire.
If any food is fried, the fat that is
left in the pan does not have to be
washed off in the lake. 1t can be
poured into bottle to be used at
home.
The invigorating air OF the forest
need not make your eyes bigger than
your stomach. The stake just enough"
doctrine applies to camp, too. Any
untouched food should be carried
home for use
Soft drinks, lemonade, or ice tea
with sugar in the bottom of the glass
do not make camp more attractive
not since war broke out. Cold milk
from the thermos bottle or cooled in
a spring is most satisfying drink
for a camper.

SMITH BACKS BILL TO TAKE
OVER COMMUNICATION LINES

Atlanta, Ga, July 18-Following
the passage of the bill authorizing
President Wilson to take over the
telephone and telegraph lines of the
country, Senator Hoke Smith has
been receiving many letters and
words of commentator for the &C
tive part he took in securing an early
passage of the measure. The Georgia
Senator has been a strong advocate
of the measure from the beginning,
and one of the strongest speeches in
favor of it was the one made by him.
His vote was cast with that of every
other loyal Democrat in favor of the
bill, and it was largely due to the Sc
Nor Senator's influence that every
Democratic vote was cast in favor
of the bill.
In his speech, Senator Smith urged
the immediate passage of the bill as
war measure, and emphasized the
extreme necessity for such action

INCREASED EGG PRODUCTION
AS A WAR ECONOMY

A new circular No. l07, recently
issued by the Department of Agri-
culture, gives suggestions for increas-
ing the average egg production of the
country. There should be one hun
dred hens on every farm declares this
publication, and at least one hundred
eggs per year should be gotten from
every hen. Almost every farm in the
country could support this number of
hens practically on waste material.
One hundred eggs from every farm
is considerably above the present av-
erage of production though it is by no
means the best that could be obtain
ed by proper management and en-
couragement. Even this number, how
ever, with approximately six million
farms in the United States, would
mean six hundred million hens or
sixty billion eggs per year.

PERMANENT MOTOR TRUCK
SERVICE IS PLANNED

Arrangements are being perfected
IN number of important fruit grow
ing sections to supplement the usual
shipments of fruit by rail by using
fleets of motor trucks during the rush
period of fruit harvest. SURVEYS con-
Quoted by the Highways Transport
Committee show that trucks can be
made available for this work and all
that is required is that steps be taken
to mobilize them promptly when
needed. 1t has also been found that
a large number of trucks owned by
farmers are now used only few days
a week, and i'll many instances ar
engagements can be made to have these
trucks used to haul perishables in an
emergency.
The establishment of permanent
lines of Rural Motor Express is being
brought about by making local sur
veys of communities in which there
is need of regular daily service for
farmers to and from the market and
shipping centers. In several states
the federal food administrators are as
