cyeIist in Spectacular Feat.

An army motorcyclist at one Of the
training camps recently averted the
death Of young lieutenant by most
extraordinary feat Of heroism, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Racing
at high speed across rough ground, he
drove his machine into runaway
parachute that was dragging the OFF,
Ger to his death. The latter had made
a practice parachute jump of 1900
feet from an observation balloon. A
high wind had carried him consider
able distance, and in landing he be-
came hopelessly entangled in the cord
age. The parachute was caught by a
strong air current and blown at terrific
speed acress the field, pulling its help
less prisoner with it. At the same in
slant the cyclist, passing along a near
by motor road, saw the officers plight.
He swerved his machine into the field
and raced at top speed squarely into
the middle of the bellied parachute.
The ropes fouled the machine and the
weight Of the latter anchored the dere-
lict against further movement.

FASTENED JOB FOR MINISTER
Youth Couldn't See Any Four Year4
Counting II He Had to Visit
Girl on Horseback.

Cupid's wings were slightly scorched
when the request went forth to leave
our automobiles in our garages on Sum
day and thus aid In saving fuel, says
the Indianapolis News. But youth in
Sullivan cOunty-quite loyal to his
country and his sweetheart, tOO-re-
membered the days of his father and
acted accordingly. When o'clock came
he went to the family barn, ignored
the presence of his new roadster, took
down his fathers ancient saddle, put
it on one of the pillow horses and gal
lantly rode forth.
But not far did he ride. Either the
horse unaccustOmed to q rider or the
youth to riding did something which
irritated the other, for soon the youth
was prone in the road and the horse
was galloping toward home.
After while the young man got up
from his PROSTATE position. Dazedly he
looked around him. Then he talked to
himself: my father" he said, assert
ed that that saddle took him to court
mother weekly for more than four
years. Well, for myself, I'll say there
was something radically wrong with
father. If had to ride on that saddle
four years to see Nellie--well, never
mind, I'll propose tonight"
He did and Cupid chalked up one
against Mr.. Garfield.

FLED FROM ARMoRED CARS
Bedouins In Wild Confusion When
tho British Forces Made Use
Of thanks" In Desert.

The appearance Of armored cars In
the desert struck terror In Senussi
hearts, and the whole country was soon
covered with men and camels trek
king off to the southwest. On getting
through the camp the cars went on in
dependently, shooting all loaded camels
and men within reach. Two Of these
camels carried mixed loads Of petrol
and high explosive shell. The per-
forated petrol cans caught fire, and the
shells exploded, which made the camp
followers fall on their knees, beat the
ground with their foreheads, and call
on Allah's aid.
"The Turkish gunners stuck to their
guns like good men. When we passed
them without killing them they turned
round and continued firing at us, so
that we had to 60 back and finish
them," one of the officers told me. The
cars collected three mountain guns and
nine machine guns with quarter mil
lion rounds Of small-arm ammunition
and several boxes Of shell. Two Of
the cars stood by all night to protect
the captures, and the remainder re-
traced their tracks to Sollum, to find
our infantry in occupation. The Sc
nussi did not venture on Aziza again.

PRUNE COMES INTO ITS OWN
Has Won OFFICIAL Recognition a. Con-
lection Worthy Of Being Served
to Fighting Men.

In the piping times Of peace the
prune was the butt of cheap wits and
the bane of the boarder. Now when
the acid test of utility and palatabil-
ity. is applied the despised prune steps
into the preferred class-at least on
the American army bill Of fare. 1t
has won its way solely on its own
merit. The counts in its favor are
food value, tonic value and value as q
CONNECTION. It nourishes, stimulates,
and delights.
The surgeon general Of the army
himself testifies to the loyal and help
full support of the once belittled fruit.
He has added his recommendation to
the approving report of the subsist.
ence division. This report tells us that
out of the 1917 crop 100000 pounds
of prunes have been consumed by our
fighting men. Based on size fifty-five,
which is the trade designation Of the
average prune, the total number con-
sumed would be 1,1OO,0O0,000. Placed
side by side it is quite possible that
this total Of prunes wouldn't reach
from the American trenches to Berlin,
but each prune, no doubt, is doing Its
best to help the Yankee fighters cover
the distance.
There would be a sort Of poetical
justice in the circumstance If the
cheerful idiot and the other boarders
whose table wit fingered longest about
the patient prune could meet it over
there in Flanders and in Picardy and
find it honOred and ext0lled as the
food Of fighting men.

War Gas Causes Appendicitis.

The various poison gases SO much
in use at present at the European
battle zone are not only breathed, but
are swallowed. This might seem
strange at first, but the likelihood OF
swallowing some amount Of gas i'm
ORIGINATING the atmosphere may readily
be seen. This might take place incl
dental to the intake Of food and both
to normal and convulsive actions OF
the throat. Such swallowing Of toxic
vapors causes variety Of digestional
disturbances, according to the amount
Of gas ingested.
According to an article in the Jour-
nal de Medicine ct de Chirurgie
Pratique, appendicitis has been found
caused by swallowed gas, especially
when the gas contains chlorine. The
progress Of the malady was rapid, but
rather mild, and treatment was effec-
tive.

Confession Of an Aviator.

For myself, writes Charles B. Word
hoff in Atlantic, there Is nowhere and
nobody I would rather be at present
than here and pilot. No man in his
senses could say he enjoyed the war;
but as it must be fought out, would
rather be in aviation than in any other
branch. A pleasant life, good food,
good sleep, and two to four hours a
day in the air. After four hours Tin
two spells) over the lines, constantly
alert and craning to dodge scandalous-
Iy accurate shells and suddenly ap-
pearing Boches, painting in the thin
air at 10000 feet, the boys are, I think,
justified in calling it day. I have
noticed that the coolest men are a
good bit let down after a logged ma
chine fight far up In the rarefed air.
It may seem soft to an infantryman-
20 hours of sleep, eating and loafing
but in reality the airman should be
given an easy time outside Of flying.

Prisoners Of Duty.

The Turkish government Is shortly
to effect an exchange Of 1000 British
prisoners, but there will be still many
left over there, and naturally they will
need doctors. Under the Berne agree
ment Of December last 1t is arranged
that one British doctor and five Of
the medical personnel Of the ranks
should be, detained for every 1000
prisoners. No inspection Of prison
camps under the Berne agreement has
yet been made, but 1t is very probable
that conditions there may necessitate
rore doctors being detained. There
are some things in warfare which are
harder than actual fighting, and to
stay behind in a prison camp tending
wounded and nostalgia men when
others joyfully set sail for home or
active service requires all the unset
fish devotion to duty with which doc
tors are credited by the laity.

USED MELTING PoTs
TO BOIL HUN Bones
Atlanta Soldier Tells Of Find in
One Of Last Charges
Of War.

"The most unique find we made,
after our charge into the German
lines, just before the armistice was
signed, was a melting pot used for
boiling down the German corpses, and
also a bone-crushing machine. Conse-
quently. there were not many bones
around, but few skulls were here and
there"
That Is q remarkable statement
made by Arthur MacKnight of the
Forty-fr battalion, Canadian High
landers, in a letter to his father at At
lanta. Young MacKnight is twenty
three years Of age. He was reared
and educated in Atlanta and has been
In France for several months.
Describing his first real "over the
top" charge the young soldier writes
"The first thing I knew I was facing
Hun machine gunfire, but just about
from then on a dense fog came over
the whole front, and then we could
get right up on them before they
would get a bead on us. Every Hun
we came across had his hands up
crying kamerad! They were SO thick
In numbers that we could not shoot
on account Of our men being on the
other side Of them.
"As we came onto our first objec-
tive we could see the cavalry going
ahead, and. also our tanks. One time
we had laugh when one Of our tanks
got after German general and chased
him quite a ways, until finally he
stopped and the tank crew took him
a prisoner"

NOTICE TO TAX PAYERS

Persons having their tax notices
and desiring to make payment are
informed that 1t is much more con-

checks by mail accompanied by the
tax notice. Many more receipts can
be written in a day, where the re-
mittances are made yb mail than
where the tax payers come to the Of
fee in person.
A suggestion is offered that un-
less the tax payer wishes to see the
treasurer personally that a check be
attached to the notice and be mailed
in or handed in and the tax notice
will be returned to the Individual by
mail.

KIno Salmon Ran Late.

Big king salmon, which run in mil
lions up the Yukon river every sum-
mer, were about four weeks late In
making their appearance this year.
AS a result white residents and ma
tives along the river who depend on
the run for their winter food talk
ed Of salmon famine and the horrors
Of fishless winter.
Delayed winter ice in the Bering sea
at the mouth Of the Yukon, 1t Is be-
lieved here, made 1t impossible for the
fish to enter the stream. Bering sea
ice, this year, according to reports,
moved later than at any time in the
last decade. The fish are taken from
the river in nets and wheel traps and
are cured In camps along the shores.
