TWICE HONORED IN ONE DAY

Maj. Frank f.. Evans of the ma
rineS Is, 50 far as known. the first
member Of the American "xpc,!ition-
airy forces to receive two decorations
in one day. On July he received the
CroiN de Guerrc from France and the
Distinguished Service Crsss from the
United States. The acts that won him
the double distinction were not men
toned in the brief dispatch telling of
the affair.
Major Evans is known TO many
New York people. For two wears.
from 1918 10 1917, he was i'm charge
of the marine recruiting Headquarters
there, and before that was a ncvSpa-

returned from the Philippines. and he
initiated legislation 10y which many
retired officers of marines were en-
abled TO return Ia active service after

NOTORIOUS HUN INTRIGUER

Admiral Won HintZe, German min
lister at Christiania and formerly
minister to Mexico, who was selected
to succeed DIR. Won Kuehlmann as
foreign secretary, is perhaps the most
notorious intriguer in the German dip
lOmatic service. China has been the
scene of much of his activity, and
there he hObnObbed not only with the
GermanOphile mandarins. but also
with the rObber bands and spies.
So scandalous. indeed. was his be-
havior that he was recalled for n
while and mt the outbreak of the war
he was In Mexico. In the guise of an
Englishman he managed to return To
Germany by way of the United States.
England and Holland, and in 1915 was
sent back to China as minister.
He Travelled once more by the

London.-A pretty bit Of chivalry
was seen in London suburb the other
day. Early in the morning the knight
errant was out on his airplane and was
flying low--so low as TO make the ten
ants of the terrace anxious about their
roofs.
On the miniature lawn in the center
of the 3O-foot garden the maiden wait

the morning mist a little streamer Of

Becoming a Bondholder.

Among my friends for years is n
Woodworking farmer with wife and
several children. He never seemed
to quite get there" Though he work
ed hard. he just lacked the knack of
getting bit ahead. During the past
year he seemed to have prospered.
When / saw him last week he said
ITS this way: subscribed
so for Liberty bond last year.
and simply had to pay for it, !
did so by paying in every dollar /
could spare. instead of spending money
for things we could just as well do
without. 1t is curious how one accumu-
lates if they 90 at it that way.
81 see now that one reason why I
never saved any money was because
/ didn't have anything like this tn take
my cash Il little at time. | used TO
think that / would begin saving when
/ had my bills paid and SD to the
good, buc | have discovered at this late
date that the way to do II is to save a
little at time and put it by as you
get II. / have been surprised to find
that the same is true of so many other
farmers, especially renters. What
they have put into the Liberty bond is
money that would have slipped
through their fingers. They would have
nothing to show for it, whereas now
they have got bond earning good
interest, while their money is helping
to lick the kaiser My first bond IS
now paid in full and / am beginning
to save up my subscription to the
fourth Liberty bond"
This reminds me of still another
case where the boys and girls have
earned and saved along with their
parents until their subscription for
each Of the three Liberty loans are
now paid up. They did not see how
they could raise the money for their
first subscription, but their second was
double that. and the third was still
larger. The oldest boy was taken by
the draft. which made the family all
the more determined. The mother

(From Fridays daily.)

Clark Dwinnell and his companion,
who escaped from the state school at
Waukesha a number of days ago, were
located in the high school building on
Thanksgiving evening and taken to the
county Jail. This ends the search for
the youths.
On Wednesday it was found the boys
had been in the building but no one
thought they had taken quarters there
for the winter. The janitor, H. H.
Coates, first made the discovery that
some one had been in the building.
The office of superintendent A. G.
Kingsford' had been rummaged but
nothing of value was missed. The
lockers used by the girls had been
opened and goods scattered about.
Lockers used by the boys were also
emptied. Seven sweaters were gone,
a suitcase was missing and other prop
erty was not there. Two grips had
been cut open in order to find out what
they contained. Two blankets could
not be found, and evidently winter
had overtaken some one who needed
them badly. In the athletic room
grease remained where candle had
been placed during the exploration.
Domestic Science Room Sight.
The domestic science room was a
sight. The boys had entered the room
through transom and helped them
selves to about everything on the
shelves. Canned goods of all kinds
had been opened and eggs cooked
They had regular Thanksgiving feast
FOOTBALLS in thhe Shadows.
On Thanksgiving evening the engi
