The Little Lad

BY Agnes Lee, of the Vigilants
To me it's always the little lad
Afraid to speak his name.
But he was one of the first to 60
When his heart received the
flame.
He used to seal from the shadOwy
room,
And over the light stair,
If dismal tales were being told
But he won the CroiX de Guerre
He clutched my hand when the
thunder broke.
He pailed at the lightning:
glance,
But he met the Teutions face t.
face,
And he fell with the souls o
France.

Chapel Talks

Monday in chapel Madam
Schelfheut who was in Belgium
when Germany invaded the coun-
try, told the girls some of her eX-
periences. The frs, part of the
program was devoted to patriotic
songs sung by little Miss Steele,
dear little girl of about six. linen
Madam Schelfheut began to tell OF
the hundreds of marching troops,
the wanton destruction of homes,
the numbering of innocent citizens
because some one had laughed at
the invaders. The girls listened,
tense and fascinated to these true
stories of suffering in Belgium.
They gained a vision of heroic
Belgium, oppressed and tortured
but still uncrushed in spirit.
Tuesday, Mr.. Wright, the evan
gelist who is at the Presbyterian
Church, took charge of the chapel

We're impressed with the excellent
character of the work done by

possible opportunity to compare
the merits of the various makes as
adapted to their own needs.
Owing to the transportation diff

brought to Dover on trucks and
others came by their own power.
The six different makes demon

sent most of the various types on
the market and to show the posi-
bilities and adoption Of each type
of the kind of work performed.
The first day was devoted entire

The Case plowed about one half
acre with an obstruction on one
of the pillow points which may have
added slightly to the amount of
fuel that would have been con-
sumed under normal conditions.
1t can be readily seen from
these figures that the fuel cost in
no case was exceedingly high per
acre. In fact in every case the
fuel cost per acre was less than
cost of horse or mule feed for

MADE NEW MAP OF EUROPE
How the Congress of Vienna Took Fruits of Napoleon's Victories
 From Vanquished France.

The fall of Napoleon entailed the re- making of the map of Europe. The congress opened on November 1, 1874. England, Austria, Russia and Prussia from the very first insisted upon regu- lating all problems among themselves and excluded France from the delib- eratiens. King Louis XVIII, however, prevented this ostracism and succeed ed in being admitted, together with the secondary states.

FOODS THAT AFFECT VOICE
Spices and Condiments to Be Avoided by Those Who Use Their Organs
 of Speech Much.

Certain foods or spices exercise a positive influence upon the voice. The voices of the alcoholist and smoker are well known proofs for this asser- tion. Saliva, owing to its soothing effect, improves the voice. Vinegar, on the contrary, has quite contrary effect. The harshest voices have, among men, the cider drinkers, and, among women, the pear eaters. There are, on the other hand, some spices that affect the voice favorably. Thus, sweet oranges are favorable, and un- fermented lemon juice mixed with wa ter is excellent for the voice. What, however, should be avoided in all foods is pepper and, for the same req son, also all excessively spiced sauces and irritating pastries. Sugar often causes infammable irritation of the palate and a Tagging of the vocal cords. Sugared dishes, creams, com pores, etc, must as much as possible be avoided by persons who have to use often and much their organs of speech.

different tones to the different rooms.
 Finish of Woodwork important.
 Naturally, floors and woodwork have much to de with the Gaal effects. As rule, the floors on single story should be continuous in color and fin ish. For the woodwork, large vari ety of effects is possible in these days of attractive stains. The danger is that this will be overdone. On the other hand, the tendency toward simple fin ish with white enamel is to be en- eouraged. It can be used with almost any color scheme, and is particularly appropriate for the simple style of architecture in vogue in mauy homes.
 Since the rugs for the floors and the hangings-such as window curtains, draperies at the doors, etc.--form so important a part of the finish of every home today, care must be taken in their choice and arrangement. The color principles which apply to walls and woodwork are to be applied to floor coverings and hangings. In every case they must be in close harmony with the wall decorations.

 Tn determining colors in our modern houses, the various parts of which are so generally thrown together by the use of large openings, harmony or even uniformity of color is particular ly important. Not only must the color of the individual room be good, but it must be in harmony with the hall and other rooms into which it opens. It is necessary, then, to plan color scheme for the whole house in which violent contrasts will be avoided and restful harmonies encouraged. It is possible under most building conditions to have complete harmony for the house, to- gether with variety in the rooms.

ooMsTtTuTIoNALITY OF ACT OF THE 1917 LEGlsLATURE
 IS VALID.
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
|. ,s Held That It Is a We'll Establish cd Principal That a Constitutional Provision Creating An Office Does
 Not Prohibit Legislative Action.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
 The principal contention made by tbe appellees is that the statute is unconstitutional as being in conflict with that clause of the constitution nroyiding for the election of a tax assessor in each county, which, they gay constitutes a scheme for the as- sessment of taxes by the assessor as the primary valuing officer, and that that scheme cannot be altered or SC; aside by the legislature. In answer the Supreme Court said that it is well established principle that con stitutional provision merely creating an office does not amount to a proill- bition against legislative action vary ing the duties of that office.
 Another attack on the constitution ality of the statute was that one of it's sections authorized members of the board to assess delinquents and im- pose penalties. It was contended that this excluded participation on the as- sessor. The court answered this by saying that the return of the other members of the board on the property of delinuents is made to the assessor and he certifies the same, thus af- fording him participation even in the assessment of delinduents."
 Other sections of the statute divided owners of property into two classes, resident and nonresident, and this the court construed to mean as residents or not of the township in which the assessment is made, and does not nec- essarily refer to non-residents of the state. These sections make it the duty of n0nresidents, or their agents, to furnish the assessor with list of their property in each township, spe- cifying the school district wherein it fig located, on or before the first day of the time advertised for assessing taxes in such township, and provides that in case the assessments are not made correctly in the judgment of the board, or if n5 one shall file such list for the nonresident, then the board shall make a list and assess the prop erty and affix a penalty. In the case of resident owners who shall fail to meet the board of assessment and val nation, it is made the duty of the board to call upon the delinquent at his place of business or residence, and list his property, and provides for the same penalty.

 The amount of light and the size of the room are important factors in determining the color of the wall and woodwork. The greater the light, the darker the color that may be used though very dark colors should always be avoided. Warm colors, including cream, buff, tan, golden brown, reddish brown, etc, are best for rooms where the light is from the north, while rooms with a southerly exposure are best in the cooler colors-grayish, bluish and greenish tones, cool tans, neutral browns, etc.
 Tinted Walls for Small Rooms.
 Good taste, as well as reason, sug- gests that for the smaller rooms so common in our modern building, plain, light-tinted walls are best. The large figured wall papers are wrong for such 6 house. A room with low ceiling should have the wall color to the cor ner. Rooms with high ceilings may have the "drop ceiling"

importance of Good Roads.

Roads rule the world-not kings nor congresses, nor courts nor constables, not ships nor soldiers. The road is the only royal line in a democracy, the only legislature that never changes, the only court that never sleeps, the only army that never quits, the first aid to the redemption of any nation, the exodus from stagnation in any so- ciety, the call from savagery In any tribe, the high priest of prosperity, without beginnings of days or end of life. The road is umpire in every war, and when after the war the new map is made, the road simply pushes on it's great campaign of help, hope, bDother- hood, efficiency and peace.
