GAVE LIFE FOR HIS MEN.

'He was game to the last" This is
what the men on RATS in an open
sea said Of Lieut.. Stanton Frederick
Kalk when death claimed this brave
young officer Of the United States
navy after he had fought to save his
ship and then gone to the rescue Of
his men. Kalk was the officer Of the
deck OF the Jacob Jones when the de-
stroyer was torpedoed. When the
submarine was sighted he at once
took prompt and efficient measures
to maneuyer the ship clear Of the
torpedo. The explosion, however,
could not be avoided, and the ship
began to sink eight minutes after be
ing struck. Although in a weakened
condition, Lieutenant Kalk, with nj
thought Of self, swan from one raj
to another among the men aaoat IL
a turbulent sea, trying to equaliz'
the weight Of each raft. He fnall,
succumbed to exposure, his life a sac
rifce for his shipmates. Lieutenan
Kalk was born in Alabama Octobe
IA, 1894. He was appointed 70 th
naval academy from Nebraska j
1912, his appointment as ensign da'
ing from June, 1916. Previous t

GAVE IMPETUS 70 INDUSTRY
Effect Of Application Of Principles Of
Sewing Machine to Manufacture Of
Boots and Shoes.

On April 20, 1862, a patent was
issued to Gordon Mckay for a sew
ing machine for shoes. After the
breaking out Of the Civil war, Mr.
Mckay began to make army shoes.
He set up FIVE machines in Rayham
secured a factory at birmingham
took government orders and manu-
featured on his own account.
The practical utility Of his ma
chine was demonstrated by his sue
cess, and in June, 1852, these ma
chimes were first ordered for sale
Mr.. Mckay adopted the plan Of leas-
ing rather than selling his machines,
and in 1869 made contracts with So
firms for their use. In 1876, 1900
were in operation throughout the
country. These machines are now
used in foreign countries and Can
ada.
Over 1O0,OO0,O 600 shoes are made
annually in the United States by
these machines. The application Of
the principles of the common sewing
machine to the manufacture Of boots
and shoes was an important addition
to industrial science and entities Mr..
Mckay to a prominent position
among nyentors.-Chicago Journal

cuRrAlL JUrE PRODUCTION.

Owing to the rather critical condo
tons prevailing in the iute indus
tries in Scotland the Dundee jute
yspinners and manufacturers are
largely in favor Of resorting to q
stoppage Of a certain proportion Of
machinery in their works. The gov
eminent has made known its desire
for a reduction Of 10 per cent on the
1916 consumption Of raw iute, and
at a recent meeting Of the spinners
and manufacturers it was unani-
mouslv agreed that the reduction
should be effected by a eurtailmen'

DISCOVERY CLAIMED BY MANY
Spanish Adventurer, However, Is Given
Credit for Putting Australia
on the Map

The claim to have been the true
discoyerer of Australia has been put
forward by manymen and many ma
lions. Thus the French allege that
Captain Pauloyier de Bonneville
made the discovery in 1904. Recent
Researches have, however, proved
that it was Madagascar, and not
Australia that this French navigator
sighted. There is little doubt the
latter was discovered prior to 1912
by the Portuguese, but no record re-
mains Of the details of the discovery.
The Dutch yacht Duyfhen, from
Bantam, which had been dispatched.
to explore New Guinea, sighted the
mainland in March, 1905, and in
June Of the same year Louis Vaez
de Torres, a Spaniard, accompanied
BY Fernandez de Quiros, made the
same discovery. The name Of this
first navigator is the first anthem
ticated one known in connection with
Australia, and his discovery has been
perpetuated in the nomenclature Of
the Straits Of Torres. William
Dampler was the first Englishman
to visit Australia, and Captain Cook
the first explorer to give any really
authentic and valuable information

WHAT AN oFFIcER SAYS.

There is a glamor and a pathos
about the private soldier, especially
when, as often happens, he is really
only a boy. When you meet him in
the trenches, wet, covered with mud,
with tired eyes, speaking Of long
watches and hours Of risky work, he
never fails to greet you with a smile,
and you love him for it, and you feel
that nothing you can do can make
up to HIM for it. For you have slept
in a much more comfortable place
than he has. You have had unlim-
tied tobacco and cigarettes. You have
had a servant to cook for you. You
have Jared sumptuously compared
with him. You don't feel his su.
perior. You don't want to b
agraeiors without undue familiar
ity.D Exactly what you want to Dc
Is a bit doubtful-the major said h
wanted to black his boots for him
and that is the best way Of express
ing it.--Donald Hankey, "a Studen

CHOICE OF
SOUTH DAKOTA
Legislature of South Dakota Sc
Ieoted State Constitutional
Amendment as Method of
Enfranchising Women.
TO BE VOTED ON NOVEMBER S.
On That Day the Voters Will Have IN
Opportunity to Open Wide the
"State Door" for South
Dakota Women.

There are two ways by which the
women of South Dakota may be en-
franchlsed. One Is by the so-called
federal route" the other by the
"state route" The first means that
the two houses of Congress by a two
thirds majority In each house must
pass a resolution TO submit to the leg
islatures Of the 4S states q federal suf-
frage amendment 10 the Constitution
of the United States. When this has
been passed the amendment must go to
the 48 legislatures to be voted on. II
80 (three-fourths) OF the legislatures
vote yes II becomes law, nationwide
suffrage for women becomes q fact
and the present ridiculous discrlmina-
lions by reason of which a woman can
lose her vote by stepping across a
state boundary fall into the discard.
That is n way by which South Da-
kota women may be enfranchlsed. Ii
seemed 10 South Dakota women, as to
other women, that IL was the right
way, the short way, the economical
way. But a small minority of United
States senators ga against 62) have
blocked that way. Over and over the
opposition to the federal suffrage
amendment pointed out In that memo
rable suffrage debate In the Senate
which closed October /, that IL was
not woman suffrage per sc that was
being opposed; II vas the n of
getting tit was the federal route.
"Women can get the suffrage by the
state route" said the opposition. LET
them do II. Let each state take care
OF Its own women. The state door Is
open. Let the women enter that way,
not this"
No n other point was used so Of
ten and so insistently as an argument
against the federal suffrage amend
ment. On no other did the opponents
of the amendment fall back so compla-
Gently. Speaking of no other, did
their faces so unanswerably assume
the expression of the cat that ate the
canary.
"The states can and will give wo-
men the suffrage. Let the women of

Citizens.

When a Madison citizen comes to
the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The state
ments of people residing in far away
places do not command your conf
dence. Home endorsement is the
kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills.
Such testimony is convincing. Inves-
tigation proves il true. Below is a
statement of a Madison resident.
No stronger proof of merit can be
had.
August Woitha, retired farmer,
Grant avenue, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills are the best remedy l have
ever used. My kidneys were out of
order and / suffered a lot from back
ache, especially after l bent over or
lifted anything. l had such sharp
pains in my back, / could hardly

me at night, acting too frequently.

you include Arthur s. Taylor, who
used to be a newspaper man In Phila-

So he went to the sale. And when
the bidding fell of, and the madame
wrung her hands because the price
was so low, then up stepped Mr.. Tay-
lor, and bought all the fixtures for the
Y. N. @. A.
After that he dickered with the
landlord, and came to an agreement
which permitted him to leave the fix

bar where II was-but to change what
