Almost Lost Precious Card.

One of those absentee registrants"
signed up at the city postoffice one
day last week, and received his reg
istration card for transmission to his
local board in his home town.
This man must have been an absent
minded registrant rs well, as the Sc
quel viii show. He calmly placed the
registration card in an envelope, ad-
dressed the envelope to his local
board, put on the stamp, and walked
out into the street.
AS he passed a trash box he dropped
the letter into the opening and went
his way with a clear conscience of
having done his first duty under the
man power law.
Luckily for him. a postman coming
out of the building saw the mistake
he made and rescued the letter from
the trash. BY this time the registrant
had boarded a car, so the letter car
rier dropped the letter containing the
precious card into the letter box

TRUTH STRANGE AS FICTION
Novel by William De Morgan Has
Counterpart in Real llfe-Story
Of EngIishman.

A little more than ten years ago an
En~glishman, deep In the sixties, won
great renown by going to a hospital.
His illness, though severe, was ordi-
nary enough. The use he made OF mis-
convalescence distinguished him.
Propped up in bed, William De Nor
gan wrote his first novel. When he
was entirely recovered, he wrote an
other. which was destined to carry on
his fame around the reading world.
The book told the story of an engi-
neer returned TO London after many
adventures. There a mishap In he
tube caused him to lose his memory.
In the dazed state he lived a new life.
BY chance he met his former wife, fell
In love with her and married her again.
Strange as was De Morgan's tale
critics said only he could make 1t con-
vincing-London itself has duplicated
il from life.
John Arthur Lev a returned SOL
der. was lately hailed into court for
a~bsconding with me- he had col
lected for his employers.
His innocence was easily proved. On
the collecting trip he had been struck
by a van and injured. Bereft of his
memory he wandered over England,
arrived at his old home, and was In
PRODUCED by his mother to a young
woman, said to be his wife.
He refused to accept his past until
one night the German airmen dropped
bombs, and the shock of the explosion
restored his memory. Then all came
back, even the uncompleted days
work of last August.
History here mOdifies the ancient OBJ
servation as to truth and fiction. Truth
is not stranger than good writing.
Rather the artist senses probably
ahead of the facts and later reality
corroborates him. Who knows not at
least one Enoch Ardent Tennyson
guessed them all.

SOMETHING NEW IN WARFARE
Party of HishIanders RepelIed Ger
man Attack, but at Terrible Cost;
They Lost Their "Pariteh."

A wounded officer describes the
novel way in which a small party of
surprised Highlanders met an unex-
pected enemy attack.
1.-THE Germans got further into the
trenches" he writes. $50 far, indeed,
that they surprised a party of High
landers In the peaceful occupation of
porridge making for a section due for
night duty. The porridge makers had
no time to seize weapons. Instead
they seized their precious pot of por-
ridge and flung it in the face of the adj
yaneing foe. There were yells of rage
as the scalding porridge fell among
the soldiers of the kaiser. One of
the funniest sights of the whole war,
l am told, was to see a German off.
Ger trying to look dignified before his
men in a uniform covered with por-
ridge. The method of repelling the
attack was novel, but effective. Ii
was more deadly than liquid fire, 1
fancy, for 1t pat an end to the attack
in that quarter.
"When we relieved the Highland
porridge makers we found them in a
terrible funk. they didn't mind facing
the worst attack the enemy could
make, but they were quaking at the
prospect of explaining to hungry com-
rades what had happened to the por-
ridge. l tried to console the man with

AS ONE MICHIGAN NEWSPAPER
LOOKED AT THE MATTER

Apparently the foolish panic il
time Of danger is abating in all part
of the country. Probably it has run
its course. More and more people, a
any rate, appear willing to look a
the matter of sickness calmly, whether
they are to suffer from more of it o.
not. The realization is at last being
manifested that, even if we are il
deadly danger, no good thing can bC
accomplished by giving way to terror
Only by courage can We hope to mas.
ter any enemy or mitigate any catas-
troDhe.
Winnemucca, apparently, is opening
up. At least two of the local churches
had Christmas "doin's" of some kind
and in twofof them services were held
Sunday. The local picture theatre
will open its doors this evening, ac-
cording to an advertisement printed
Saturday.
Along with very many other news
papers all over the world, the Grand
Rapids (Mich.) News printed an indig-
nant protest against moral cowardice
which is worthy of reproduction:
1T is the height of absurdity," re-
marked the News, that after nine
teen centuries of Christian teaching.
and in the most thoroughly Christian
lied nation in the world, the churches
should be closed because of the fear
of a so-called epidemic and the fool
ish belief that the power of God has
suddenly become less than that of a
microbe. 1t is equally preposterous
to find a Christian minister so under
the mesmeric spell of the materialism
of medical ~so-called science that he
is willing to concede more power to
q drug than to Deity. Had what is
known as orthodox theology been
more concerned in teaching the spir-
itual fact of a Godlike mar than in
perpetuating the material fable OF a
manlike God, we would have been
spared the humiliation of reading at
many church entrances. the last few
weeks, the legend, CLOSED on account
of the epidemic" Rather would such
an epidemic have died a-bornin',"
and the legend CLOSED on account of
the churches formed a fitting cpl
taph."

RAISING THE RANGE FEES

The sheep and wool industry is
hard hit by the proposed advance in
range fees on the forest reserves.
There was an advance of 25 per cent
in range fees in 1917, and now it is
proposed to add another big increase
in rates. The charges for running
sheep and livestock on the forest re
serves have been profitable to the
Sttaes and Nation. There is no excuse
for advancing the charges at present
when sheep and wool prices are Oh
the decline
The only effect, in the opinion OF
the Idaho Wool Growers Association
will be to shut out the little herds.
Hugh Sproat, president of the Idaho
Sheepmen, is authority for the state
ment that if the rates are raised there
will be none but 100, 000-head herds
in a few years-a government monop-
oily. He also says owing to %unfavor-
able labor conditions and range adj
ministration. there are a million less
sheep in Idaho than a year ago.
This is a time when sheep and wool
production are very much needed and
the industry should not be crippled
by arbitrary range fees.

The cardinal archbishop Of West.

of st. Michael for Airmen, invites all
Roman Catholic airmen ito place
themselves under the protection Of st.
Michael by joining the guild" No
one could desire a doughtier champion,
remarks a London paper, but the
choice of the Russian airmen, who in
the early days of the war decided on
Elijah as their patron saint, is per-
haps even more plausible. 1t is, at all
events, plain that these days have

OTTO Kahn states some PLAIN truths
when he says:
Next to beating the Hun, nothing
is more important than to beat those
who would smuggle un-American or
anti-American materials into the mag
nifcent and time-tested structure
which is America.
Nothing is more vital to the future

"The menace of bureaucratism and
semi-socialistic paternalism. with
their insidious effect upon the very

fronts us now, and ii is none too early
for business men to take their stand
against their perpetuation in time OF
peace.
Paternalism and liberty cannot ex-
list side by side.
Shall the reconstruction period be
under the auspices of semi-socialistic
and bureaucratic paternalism oil shall
we preserve, for meeting the huge
task which confronts the world, the
safe and tested instrument of indi-
