A Real Heroine.

There are great many people in
this old world who have climbed from
obscurity and through toll and per-
severance have reached the heights
of fame. They are termed heroes,
and their names live long after they
themselves are dead. However, there
are a great many more real heroes
and heroines in the world who never
become famous
AS think tonight of all the peo-
pie whom l know that should be
termed great, there stands out in my
minds eye one ahead of all the rest.
Her hair now is white and her brow
wrinkled with age, but in her eye
kindles the light of a perfect faith.
She was not reared in riches and lux
ury, but in tiny negro cabin in the
slave quarters of great plantation.
From her childhood she cultivated
pair of strong, useful hands and a
loving, faithful heart. Each task al
lotted her was performed to the best
of her ability. A sunny disposition
and an unselfish nature made of her
a valued and much loved servant.
Always Becky (now termed Aunt
Becky was on hand in time of need.
Each sorrow, each anxiety of her
mistress became hers, and always
her life was one Of service. Every
one loved her; everyone looked to
her for sympathy and help; for ev-
eryone knew that beneath the plain
exterior of negro servant there
beat the loyal heart of real hero
ine After the great civil strife that
set her and her family free/ her old
masters children divided their heri-
tage with her and sent her out to
earn her living on a we'll equipped
little farm. With the persistence
and will of real heroine she work
ed her farm, thus helping her hus-
band to earn living, and after his
death, alone educated her large fam
lily of children.
Today, I, the granddaughter of her
old master. love her and call her
blessed. One of the first and ten
derest memories that I cherish from
my childhood are her dear old arms
about me, and her voice grooming a
lullaby as I fall asleep. Later l can
see her again about my home and
hear her constant requests to help
do something Always she desired
to serve and always she was endeav-
oring to aid someone even in the
smallest task. Today she is very
near the end of her long journey of
service and she will soon meet her
Saviour in heaven, who, l am sure,
will crown her among the noblest as
He repeats to her the blessed words:
"Well done, good and faithful SER
want" ."-Contributed.

Preservation of Eggs.

During the spring and early sum-
mer when eggs are abundant, at
tention should be given to preserving
them for winter use. Eggs may be
preserved at cost of from &c to sc
per dozen and when we compare the
prices prevailing now with those of
last fall and winter, we can see that
this is a real economy. Strictly
fresh eggs only can be used, and un-
der no circumstances should badly
soiled ones be put up, nor should
these be washed, as washing removes
the natural protective coating which
prevents spelling.
The best method for the preser-
vation of eggs is by the use Of sodium
silicate popularity called water-glass.
Make a solution of one part sodium
silicate to nine parts water that has
been boiled and allowed to cool.
Any perfectly clean stone crock or
large glass vessel may be used, as
it is not necessary to seal them air
tight. Fifteen dozen eggs may be
put in a five gallon crock or jar.
Place the container in cool, dry
place and do not move it about on ac
count of the danger of cracking the
eggs. AS they are gathered fresh
each day, place in the solution, be-
ing careful to allow at least two
inches of the solution to cover eggs
at all times. When container is full,
cover to prevent evaporation and the
eggs will keep from eight to twelve
months in perfect condition.
During the hot months, when the
Matching season is over, infertile
eggs may be produced, as these are
the best to preserve. We are anx-
ious. to increase the supply of poul-
try in the State and county, and any
questions as to the best breeds, eggs
for Matching and the care of chick
ems will be gladly answered and in
formation given.-Mrs. B. w. Faust.

"She has q good chance to display
the skill on the ice which has made
her famous, though the story is not
founded on this ability. 1t is a pa
triotic theme into which several in
cidents which give an excuse for
frolicking Of pretty girls in pictur-
esque settings have been interpolated
to make it six parts. These incidents,
which are only slightly connected
with the story, serve to give the film
considerable charm and a good cli-
max and exciting denouement make
up for what the actual plot lacks
in length. ......
"The feature is characterized by
splendid photography and light eff
fects. The fadeouts are excellent.
In fact the pictorial appeal of the
film is unusual and few new COM

French Insure
Against Shells

Paris, July 27-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Pesrs. 1.-THE Ger
man advance has brought into Paris
i-bombardment insurance" The
one company allowed to do such
business will insure any given prop
erty only against damage from 5000
shells. If the Germans were to reach
a point where their huge 350-centi-
meter guns could effectively batter
Paris, and were to pour 5000 in
without damaging any given piece
of property, it's owner would have to
reinsure against the next 5000
shells.
The price Of the anti-bombardmen
insurance has gone UP to twice
what the anti airplane bomb policies
cost. 1t means just six francs per
thousand of insurance if it is furni-
ture and other household goods that
is being insured; eight francs per
thousand If buildings; and 10 francs
if anything else,
The insurance company also has
drawn up q scale Of insurance
against personal injury from long
range and other kinds Of guns and
airplane raids. Thereby it is pos
sible to insure civilians up to $4,000
francs at four francs per thousand
in the districts nearest the present
'front.'; at two and a half a thou
sand in Paris and it's immediate
vicinity; at one franc in remoter de-
partments; and at rs confines in
the most distant departments and
in Algeria.
The company, whose parent or
ganization in England has achieved
reputation in years past for taking
any kind of a sporting" risk in the
insurance line, will not insure life
for over $4,000 francs unless special
premiums are paid.

Der1berg Speech Which
Caused His Expulsion
Was Written BY DR.. Hale

nection with the alleged purchase of
The New York Evening Mail for the
German government was introduced
to him in 1915 as the special protege
OF DR.. Dernburg. The introduction he
declared was made by Dernburg.
The attorneys office also made
public a series Of code letters writ
ten to persons in Germany by George
Sylvester Viereck, editor of the
former pro-German FatherIand
which since the United States be-
came a belligerent, has been known
as Viereck's Weekly.
These letters were intercepted be-
fore the American declaration of
war. Since that time, according to
Vierecks own admission, he has
sent mail to Germany through neu-
trail countries. This action accord
ing to authorities is a violation of
the trading with the enemy act.
Viereck's code letters, some of
which were dated in 1916, apparent
ly were innocent communications on
family and personal subjects, but
according to Mr.. Becker, they con-
tanned information Of political con-
ditions in this country.
