Teaching Soldiers Caution.

I have T fricnd-a young siX-foot of ficer, powerful as Il horse-at one ot the cnntunments in the far South. who has a way of showing his men the need for individual responsibility, Edward Hungerrord writes in Everyhody'S Magazine.
 IL is his practice to skirmish around the camp late at night and approach the seutres. giving careless, indiiler- ent casually friendly replies to their challenges. The sentry In his happy go-mcky back country fashion. feels that the stranger Is not merely q friend hut of the cantonment. Then -2o0 pounds of hrswn and muscle land upon him; he feels an awful blow in the pit of the stomach; his gun k taken away from him, and he finds himself sprawling m the ground. As soon as he can get hlS breath he looks at his attacker and begins:
 What the
 Exactly So," Interrupts the officer. "onlv if this really had been No Man'S < Land and German scout you would have been completely dead hy this time"
 They are taking few chances in the training of our great army.

ltRRORS GIVEN INDIAN NAMES
'lrs. Wilson Credited With Idea That Really Has Good Deal to Be
 Said in Its Favor.

II is one of the duties of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the navy department, who, though he finds many volunteer assistants, is always hard pressed in his pursuit of suitable names. The wife of President Wilson mas now come to his aid with q list of names.
 Mrs. Wilson iS descendant of Po- cahontaS. The names she suggests may be calculated to spread terror among the enemies of America atioat. They are taken from Indian history.
 when an enemy vessel sees the Sin haihahOnlng approaching flying the stars and Stripes the captain Is likely 10 think one of the devils of the deep IS In pursuit, If the Sinnamahoning Is followed by the Sisiadobsis and the Slsladobsis by the Skaneateles and the Shawangunk-all names conferred by the presidents wife-the enemy may well believe that the day of legendary sea terr0rS has returned
 Suppose. again, that the SacCarappa, the Sagaporack, the Tobesofka and the Tonganoxie were to sail forth together, Is there any power on the seas surface or beneath that would court encounter with such an orthographical onslaught?

 President Mehatry has had the text of the proposed constitution printed, as it was finally agreed upon by the UhraseOlogy committee.

AMERICAN MANNERS OF TODAY
Prevailing Bearing in Thorouohfares and Street Cars Indicates That
 Courtesy ls on the Decline.

AS for manners. we are kindhearted as people and civil when appealed to, but no one would suspect 1t if our bear ing in thoroughfares and street cars be a criterion. The spirit of the age is first come. first served; to be waived only in favor of the crippled and the positively infirm. Courtesy in the old fashioned sense-the deference of the young for the seniors of the stronger for the weaker sex. of the vigorous for the frail-if not extinct Is so spor- adic as to be noticeable when mani- fested, Robert Grant writes in the Yale Review. The young men who push their way forward in public con- veyances retain without compunction the seats for which they have strug- gled.
 Here again we have the philosophy of the tired business man: T got there first; we are all equals in the United States, and want to read my news paper" The apotheosis of naturalness. and in self-defense we all more or less subscribe to 1t; but after all. it Is nat ural for pigs to struggle for places at a trough. We'll may we ask ourselves if 1t is impossible to safeguard inde- pendence, initiative and equality ex- cept at the cost of all the social graces that prevailed when society was more artificial.

Curious Burlals,

The inhabitants of Mesopotamia have curious customs in the disposal of their dead. The corpse is carried to the grave dressed in ordinary clothes, with the face uncovered. Bod les are buried In shallow graves, and after period dug up again, the bones being collected into a white linen bag and deposited in small buildings.
 "One day." says an officer of the R. A. M. C., "I saw such a bag in a church; 1t was labelled with a wom- ans name. In a village near the Struma I have visited one of these storehouses of the bones of the de- parted. The bags most recently placed in 1t were stiA white and whole; oth- CTS were whole, but stained brown by time. Those that had been deposited In years past had routed away"

REVIEWERS DINE ON STEW
Wifey srepares Dainty Morsel With Own Little Hands - But Physi-

 and young Mrs. Freshly-Wedd was in quandary and her stunning new house gown of twisted percale, muses the Detroit Free Press
 "I'n make a stew-anybody can make a stew l" she cried. And she proceeded to make a stew. In the icebox she found seven frank furters, a dozen fried oysters and three pickled herring.
 "How fortunate-meat Is the very importantest thingI" she exclaimed. And she chopped 1t all up and added three cupfuls of salt and two of pepper so as to be sure not to forget the sea- soning. Then-because she knew that stew must have lots of variety-she put in a glass of olive oil. two table spoonfuls of grated nutmeg, two pack ages of Saratoga chips, 6 can of sal mon and a half cake of bitter choco- late.
 At 6 80 Freshly-Wedd came home her Ben, stalwart and handsome, who had never known an hours illness In his life.
 "Phewl" he exclaimed. "What's that smellr'
 "It's a stew I made for you wiv my own little hands," she told him.
 "Divine aroma !" cried Freshly-Wedd. and forthwith sat down and ate two big platefuls, while his wife watched him so eagerly that she forgot to eat any herself.
 Three hours later. in response to a hurry call, Doctor Blister drove up and rang the front doorbell. Query: Who was the patient. and why?

Big CROP WORTH
S1O,7OO,OO0,OO()
Estimate Of Department Of Rgri-
culture for 1917.
STATE or ILLINOIS I'M LEAD
Farm Value Of Nations Production
Two and ons-Haif Times That of
1ao9---cscps Include Cereals. Po-
tasoes, Hay and Cotton Lint.

Thirteen principal farm creps IN this
country iG 1917 had value az the
f"rn OF si0,79o,oeot GOO. according to
estimates of the united States depart
iilent of agriculture. or nearly two ana
tlne~half times the value for tiie census
year 1909. This amount III about four
htths oE the value Of all crops. These
crops Include seven cereals, tiaxseed
potatoes, sweet potatoes, tame hay, to-
baeco, and cotton lint. Three states
stand out far In the lead Ia their share
of this great aud unprecedented total,
Illinois is tn tire front with a value af,
S7Ia,o0O.no0 for these crops, Iowa fs
next. With STf2.o0o, 900, and Texas is
third with S8f7, ,ts9d, 900.
The position OF Texas is determined
by the cotton crop which was much
damaged by drought; In 1916 and in
the average OF the preceding FIVE years
Texas led all the states In the total
value of these crops. and this with
out including cottonseeGi In the value
of tie cotton crop. The states that
follow in order after Texas In 1917 are
Ohio, Missouri, Indiana. Georgia, and
Minnesota. with values ranging from
S810.D00,oOo to $a1S.0ooeo0.
Great Achievement.
These figures represent a great
achievement by the nations agricul-
tural forces. and the workers well de.
serve TO be cited for commendation.
Bat 1t is not the time to rest on these
gains. Ii is n time 10 plan for greater
Efforts, this year, as Secretary Houston
recently pointed out.
Ia comparing the geographic divi-
sians of the country with one another
for 1917. the great prcdominance of
the North Central states is conspicu-
oas, and their production is mostly hu-
/ Min food ard animal food. The Il
chief crops produced In these states,
for cotton does not appear. had n value
that Isl nearly ane-hasf. or over 4S per
cent, of she value of the I3 crops for
the wilnfe country. OF this division,
the section west of the Mississippi
river produced the greater value, or
over ~ per cent, of the nations total,
while the eastern section produced II
FER cent.
| Production In South.
The entire South produced nearly
three-eighths of the total value of the
nations 13 crops. or a6is per cent.
and this fraction was divided among
the three sections so that the South

That the farmers Of the nation
