chImneys-Fuei Shortage In
Germany Acute.

London.-All England has been
stirred by the return of $50 soldiers
and civilian prisoners Of war from
Ruhleben, Germany, some of whom are
fishermen who were surprised by the
Germans In the North sea Immediately
after the declaration of war, and had
therefore been prisoners almost from
the first day of hostilities.
II Is not because of the stories they
tell. for their lips have been sealed so
far as their own sufferings are con
cerned by order of the government.
The remark of one of the civilians to
an old friend who met the party-'We
are fairly oil right, but we have all got
~barbed-wire fever"-is said to contain
the whole story. Englishmen know
what that means. and there Is nowhere
any desire to reverse the governments
order.
Symptoms OF Barbed-Wire Fever.
"~Barbed-wire fever Is the nervous
strain that is telling with increasing
force-especially In the case Of the old
er men. who cannot take so much exer-
cise-upon the hundreds of men who
have spent over three years on that un-
happy course" says the Manchester
Guardian.
They were bitterly disappointed
that the attempt of our government to
abolish Ruhleben altogether by an ex-
change, however 1t might advantage
the Germans. came to nothing, and
many OF the repatriated men are con-
WINGED that there may be an increase

much longer. You could see the marks
Of nervous excitement on many of the
faces, and probably the reaction from
being set free will be felt severely by
the men of more sensitive minds"
From a few Of the civilian prisoners

cording to the Daily Telegraph, "that

KEEP A FEW HENS-ADVANTA
 OF HOME POULTRY.

Everyone should keep a small flock of laying hens whether on a town CT village lot or in a city back yard says II. B. Lansden. Poultry Husband man, Extension Division, University of Arkansas. "It is true that the value of the product from each fiocS is small. but the aggregate is large and will help considerably in the pres. ent crisis. A small flock of hens, even as few as six. should produce eggs enough for a family of four or five persons and by the preservation Of surplus eggs produced during tho spring and early summer the usual pc riod of scarcity can he provided for.
 Remember, such a flock will pro- duce eggs and fowls for the table at little cost by utilizing as feed all ta- bIe scraps and other waste products. such as beet tops, urnip tops. carrot tops, potato parngs. onion tops, etc, which will be relished by the hens. Never iced them mouldy cake or bread or throw dish water in their pail.

WOMAN SITS IN SHORTENING
Miss Sara Christie Takes Place ir Norwegian Parliament as Repre-
 sentative of TrondhJem.

Christiania, Norway. - Miss Sara Christie has taken her seat in the Nor wegian parliament as a conservative representative of the city of Trond- hjem. At parliamentary elections In Norway substitutes for members of parliament are always elected at the same time to take the members place in case of illness or death, so elections to fill vacancies never take place. All members of the storthing are engaged in special committees to prepare legis- lative work or dealing with the govern ment's proposals before they are sub- mitted to the storthing. In this way Miss Sara Christie, who is now sum- moned to take the seat of Professor Scotland, becomes a member of the de- fense committee to consider the army and navy estimates instead of her pre- decessor.
 Miss Christie is a director of girls school in Trondhjem and has for many years been member of the town coun- ell. She Is esteemed as prominent teacher and great administrator.

Portland, Ore, July 30.-Fuel Ad-
ministrator Homes has received num-
erous complaints from various parts
OF the state to the effect that coal
and wood dealers are declining to
make deliveries. AS a result there
has arisen in some quarters rumors
that the dealers are storing their
fuel until later period to secure
higher prices.
The rumor. according to Holmes,
has absolutely no basis in fact. In
this connection Holmes investiga-
tions have led him to believe that
dealers and their clerks are in num-
erous cases responsible for mis-
understanding and the consequent
crop of false reports as to the fuel
situation.
81 have learned said Holmes,
"of numerous instances where deal
ers and their clerks have refused to
make deliveries because they were
swamped with orders But in re-
fusing they have failed to explain to
patrons why they could not promise
fuel promptly. AS a result Idle
rumor has had cilance to spreat.
false reports.
Dealers can help mach by telling
consumers what to expect and why
Then patrons will understand why
deliveries are delayed and won't tret
unnecessarily,
AS for any raise in prices-ncna
can be made unless the Fuel Ad-
ministration permits it and the Ad-
ministration will not allow any in
creases save those which will give
dealers a fair profit.
Deliveries are now being made
as rapidly as possible. Due to the
big rush of early orders, quite ma
turally, the dealers cannot fill all at
Nonce.'
