New Trade With East Indies.

The East Indies have always sug- gested to us the adventurous trade of merchants sought fortune on the other side of the globe. In more recent years they became something of a myth, so far as actual commercial in- tercourse went, although they still SUD- piled us with some articles we like, in- cluding tobacco, pepper and nutmegs.

stall floors both ways from a point little less than halfway back from the manager. A slight slope is given from this point to the manager and greater slope is given from this point to the gutter.

The close relation between modorn farm buildings, especially dairy barns, and enduring prosperity for the farm IS seldom appreciated at it's full worth.

How Cool Impudence of Young British
Naval Officers Relieved Ten.

In Facing the Hindenburg Line"

number Of incidents In which naval
men prove their GOODNESS and herOiSm.
Nobody knows all the stories Of cool
ness and heroism among the naval
men, says the author. We shall not
learn them till the war is over, but
here is one that perhaps the CensOrs
will allow to 90 by. It was told by
medical officer who was aboard the
FrancOnia when she was sunk acting
as a transport.
I'VE had five or six naval officers
aboard. They were sitting in the
smoking rOOm-remember the smoking
lounge in fhe old FranCOnia? 1t was
very long, as long as this dining rooIr
and twice az broad. They had just
ordered whisky sOdas. Suddenly there
was an explosion and the steel floor
of the smoking room just buckled up
and burst apart in the middle Of the
ship. One of those officers called the
steward and said:
ask you to witness, steward, that
we have paid for these whisky sOdas
and have not had time to drink them
Then the rascals went below, got
on their lifebelts. came back again.
asked the steward for big sheet of
foolsrap, wrote out long, we, the
Undersigned setting forth that they
had ordered six whisky s0das, for
which they had paid nine shillings,
with Sixpence tip, and had not been
allowed to drink them. Thereupon they
entered claim against the British
government for the nine shillings and
sixpence, with accrued interest from
date. Then they walked In a body up
to the bridge and handed it to the skip

he never was so grateful to anybody
as t. these cool young devils for the
steadying and bucking up influence of
their impudence."
