recover much more quickly, espec-

Mr.. Townley has mentioned in his
testimony in the bankruptcy petitions
that he directs the policy of paper
for the modest stipend of 800 n
month cannot be expected to BE- on
the job all the time. and many things
may be done or omitted of which he
has no knowledge ut the time. 1t
might not be strange, therefore, that
such matters as the United Stores
company and the Townley bankruptcy
hearing should receive no mention in
the columns of the socialist organ just
while they are fresh. Mr.. Townley
""u'h not be held responsible for that.
He has so many irons in the fire that
he can scarcely be expected to attend
to them all at once.
But when there is organized in the
state corporation no matter under
whose management, which succeeds in
selling pieces of blue sky to the far
mers of the state at the rate of 800
chunk until 100000 worth has been
sold; when there has been started an
enterprise which, according to assur-
ances given subscribers, is to revo!u-
tioniZe the entire commercial work of
the state by driving all the merchants
out of business and enabling the far
mcrs to deal with headquarters direct;
when the leader and manager of en-
terprises in connection with which
close to four million dollars has been
collected in two years goes into court
and pleads poverty and, in another
place exhibits coat with torn lining
in evidence Of his impecunious condi-
ton; when all these things are going
on, and the chosen mouthpiece of the
socialist organization remains silent
on them day after day and month af-
ter month, it is impossible to avoid
the conclusion that the director is act
ually directing, and that Mr.. Townley
chooses not to take the readers of his
paper into his confidence with refer
ence to what he is doing Grand

(Mieh.) Park.

Haynes Starbuck, five-year-old son
Of A. e. Starbuck, Of Kokomo, literally
''stirred up the animals" in the city
park mt .Petoskey, Mich, recently, re-
lates the Indianapolis News. The senior
Starbuck is member of Americas
hay-fever brigade, and spends the ''sea-
son" at Harbor Springs with his fam
lily.
On one of their drives the Starbuck
family and their guests visited the Pc
toskey park, which hns small zoo.
While the party was strolling about in
the park young monkey leaped into
Mr.. Starbuck's chr and began throwing
rugs and cushions to the ground.
Haynes Starbuck came back to the car
and found Mr.. Monkey sitting on the
hood, examining the radiator cap.
The lad climbed into the drivers
sent and pressed the button of the cleo
trio horn. The monkey cleared 20
feet through the air, landing In tree.
But soon 1t came back and once more
mounted the hood, this time trying to
unscrew the radiator cap.
The Starbuck boy let loose series
Of blasts on the horn, and this time
the monkey did Wilbur Wright to the
head Of IN elderly woman at the side
of the driveway. The woman shrieked,
the monkey chattcred, the horn cut
loose again, and then two eagles awoke
In their cage and turned loose free
dom's call. All the other birds began
screaming, the ducks in pond near by
set up an 'ear-splitting clatter, while
the coyotes yapped loudly. Then, high
above all the racket, rose series Of
blood-curdling walls and bowls from
two big wolves.
Mr.. Starbuck gathered his party and
left, but 1t was more than an hour be-
fore the usual peaceful calm Of the
park was resumed.

MAKE UNIFORM RESPECTED.

A scout in uniform is the represent
ativeeof more than 10000 boy scouts
Of America to the general public.
II he is sloppy in, appearance he
brands the whole scout brotherhood as
a sloppy organization. If he walks as
though his bones were momentarily In
danger Of falling apart, those who see
him will naturally infer that the
whole organization Is in the same con-
dition.
Every scout should be a personifi-
cation Of discipline, alertness aud neat
ness. The full and correct uniform
should be properly worn. That means
that 1t should be clean. neat, buttoned
and decorated with only the proper
badges.
Scouts should be taught to hold
themselves erect and move briskly. In
these times they should all take pride
In demonstrating that their civilian
organization can be as well.disciplined,
as neat In appearance and as efficient
IN service as any military unit.

j. W. Brinton, consumers United
Stores Co., defended their store plan
in the Leader last week. It was a
very weak attempt and he did not go
to the trouble of proving anything or
explaining the plan. The Leader
said nothing about it editorially or
otherwise before. 1t wants to be in a
position to deny having anything to do
with the store plan, if it should prove
unpopular. Townley is in the same
position. He has not endorsed it
openly nor is he likely to. It won't
be long before the league will be cir
culating the story that the store plan
was started by their enemies and that
they really had nothing to do with it.

PIT YEARS AGO GERMAN MONK
PREDICTED WAR.

Two hundred and seventeen years
ago in the monastery of the Holy
Ghost, located at Wismar in Mecklen-
burg monk forecasted the Great
War. His prediction was written on
Bible flyleaf, which was recently
found when the monastery was de-
stroyed. The forecast is now on ex-
hibition under glass in the city hall
of Wismar. Here is the monks
prophecy:
"Lord, have mercy on thy people
despite that they are turning away
from thee. A time will come in Eu-
rope when these people will feel the
weight of thy hand and when malig-
nifty and hatred will rule. 1t will be
time when the papal seat will be va
cant and the CONFEDERATION will come
as result of numbering Prince.
Seven nations will rise against the
eagle with one head and the eagle
with two heads. The birds will de-
fend themselves furiously and vici-
ously with their talons and their wings
will protect their people.
"a prince from the very midst, a
sovereign who mounts his horse from
the wrong side will be encompassed
by a wall of enemies. His SLOGAN
will be Onward for Cod The AL
mighty God will lead him from victory
to victory and many will meet their
death.
"There will be wagons without
horses and fiery dragons will fly
through the air dropping fire and
sulphur and destroying cities and vii
lagos. The people will turn to God.
This terrible war will last three years
and five months. The time will come
when food can neither be sold nor
bought and bread will be carefully
distributed. The seas will be tinged
with blood and men will be in wait un-
der the waves for their prey"
Here follows a reference to Amer
lea, often referred to as Country of
the seven stars"
1.-THE people Of the seven@stars will
attack the ring Of steel and sudden
ly fall upon the bearded nation in the
rear and rend it IN twair The whole
of the Corned Rhine will tremble, but
nevertheless will endure to the end.
The land in the nest will be one vast
desolation and the land in the ocean
will with its king, be crushed and suf-
fer all the pangs Of hunger. The land
of the bearded people will endure for a
long time to come and following the
war the world will be united in one
great brotherhood.
1.-THE victor will carry a cross and
between four small cities and four
steeples Of equal height the decisive
battle will be fought. Between two
linden trees the victor will fall upon
his knes before the army, lift his hands
and thank God. Following this all
