Spirit brave and friendship true,

And roval white colars he knew

Civil war that is causing the soldiers
of today considerable worry. Major
Dale's father, Colonel Dale, was the
commander Of the Fourth Missouri
cavalry during the Civil war.
Among the relics left by the col

PARTY Is SAFE IN LABRADOR
MESSAGE Received Indicates Explorers
Have Traversed the Peninsula
From South to North.

The peninsula of Labrador has
been traversed from the south to the
north for the first time by a scientific
exploring party, according to an an
nouncement by DR.. W. J. Holland, d.
rector of the Carnegie museum, at
Pittsburgh, following the receipt OF a
telegram from st. Johns, Newfound-
land, announcing the arrival at that
point of the expedition, which under
took the journey.
The expedition was Jointly financed
by the Carnegie museum, the National
Geographic society and Alfred Mar
shall of Chicago, who was a member
of the exploring party. In addition to
Mr.. Marshall, the personnel of the ex-
petition included w. B. G. Todd, the
curator of ornithology in the Carnegie
museum, and o. ]. Murie, the curator
of mammals In the same institution.
They took with them a number OF
Indians.
The telegram received by Doctor
Holland gave no details of the expedi-
ton other than its safety and sue
cess. A number of similar attempts
by explorers have failed.

THE ULTI-
MATE COST

In connection with the lamentable
weakness of our preparedness in
small arms which the Crozier revela-
tons have exposed, it is well to recall
that the Rock Island arsenal, upon
which we had largely relied for the
supply of Springfield rifles, lay idle
for the better part of the first three
years of Mr.. Wilson's first term. Faced,
as the Democratic party was, with al
insufficiency of revenue as a result
of its ill-considered tariff policy, Con-
gress was compelled to cut appropria-
tons in order to shrink the deficit,
which, in spite of all efforts, rose to
an alarming figure. But, instead of
cutting appropriations for rivers and
harbors improvements upon insignia
cant southern creeks and for similar
valueless projects, the majority IN
Congress cut off the appropriations
for the Rock Island arsenal, among
other things of national Importance,
n a well-equipped factory, with a
normal daily capacity of at least $50
rifles, produced absolutely nothing
for nearly a thousand working days.
A little arithmetic will show what the
ultimate cost was to the country when
the day came for "springing to their
guns" as Mr.. Bryan has so often pic
tured the free men of America-only
there were no guns for them to spring
10.

Crepes and ponuees.

Crepe de chine, in spite Of its name,
does not come from China but from
Japan, Italy and France. There are no
factories for making silk piece goods
In China, all the weaving being done
by hand. With the exception of pom
gees, the products of the Chinese looms
are no popular abroad, except in
Oriental countries, being too heavy,
although the patterns are wonderfully
beautiful and the colors exceedingly
rich.
The pongees are woven In the homes
of the peasants, and as they come from
many looms 40 two pieces are ever ex-
actly alike In weight. ineness. color
and texture. The Standings come from
the Liutang district, and the Nanshai
from the Nighai district.

LABOR FOR
II FAMER

Senator Borah is early in the field
with a warning that disaster may
overtake us next season If there is a
shortage of agricultural labor, says
the Rochester Democrat Chronicle.
The country's necessities will be
greater next year than they were this,
if the war continues, for we shall
have an immense army to make pro-
vision for. to say nothing of the needs
of the allies. Senator Borah is quotel
as saying Now hat the boys are be-
ing taken from the farm under the
draft, the situation is such hat you
cannot find labor to plant and GER
tainly not sufficient labor to take care
of the crops. Unless the labor situa-
tion is changed through some method
crop acreage in the West next year
through inability to plant or sow or
take care OF 1t. obviously the Gov
eminent must exercise care in cou-
scripting young men who have been
employed on farms and also go afie!d
for the purpose of rounding up addi-
tional help. Efforts to increase crop
production have met with remarkable
success in England, although the
country has been practically stripped
of able-bodied men of military age.
Our statesmen should study the me-
thods employed there. These consists
principally in modifying for
work in the fields and in the introduc-
ton on an scale of labor
saving machinery in the form of Ford
tractors.

PUT ONE OVER ON THE GUARD
CHALLENGED Soldier Demanded Sentl-
nel's Name on Pretext Of Report
ing Him to Lieutenant.

Among the members of the Indiana
university ambulance corps at Allen
town. says the indianapolis News,
there is one man who from this time
on will require, while on guard duty,
any person whom he challenges at
night to furnish his full pedigree.
There is a reason.
Recently while the section was on
guard at the camp this man was sta
toned at a distant post on the
grounds, at a place where the guards
experience a great deal of trouble with
men climbing the fence during the wee
hours.
Shortly after one o'clock in the
morning the guard say a mar climb
ing the fence. He hurried up, chal-
lenged the man, and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. 1t was forthcoming.
"WeI," said the challenged one,
you are to be congratulated. l have
been coming over this fence every
night for a week and | have never
been challenged before. / would Ike
you to give me your name and your
section number, and 1 will report you
to your lieutenant"
In a dazed name the guard did so
and the man walked off. Not until
he was "kidded" by his section mates
on telling the story did he fall for his
being duped. He is now on the trail
of the man whose ingenuity saved
himself,
