suffered a crushing defeat at Macieo-

cred with wounds.
He arose again, however, and, after
imprisonment in st. Petersburg, was
set free by the Emperor Paul, from
whom he refused a commission. In the
course of time he revisited the United
States, received pension and parcel
of land. and was given popular as we'll
as public honors, but he was not con-
tented. He could not reconcile himself
to the alien law. At length he settled
quietly in Switzerland and one of his
last acts was the granting of freedom
to the serfs on his paternal estate.

prove their gratitude by naming after
him many counties and towns.-Chris-

HONOR BRAVE POLE
kosciuszko VIII Ever Be Name to Be
Revered by Those Who Recognize
His Lies Devotion to the Sacred
Cause of Human Liberty.

DUBLIC attention has. to some ex-
tent, recently been turned back
TO the career and times of
Thaddeus Kosciuszko. In Eng
land measure of recognition has
been given TO the virtues and accom-
plishments of the Polish patriot. In
the United States his contemporaries
and their descendants have paid trib-
ute to his memory. Some Americans
have Joined in testimonials, but only in
an inconspicuous way, while their
government has taken no official cog
lizance of the proceedings at home or
broad. The apparent Indifference to
he memory of this remarkable man
by a nation to which he gave his serv-
ces freely in a trying hour may be
hastily attributed in some quarters, to
he proverbial ingratitude of republics,
jut the seeming neglect was doubtless
very largely due to the state of the
lines, and the incessant demands on
attention by important current events.

oay its debt to Poland in the name of
Nosciuszko with quite as much grace
and quite as much honor as it is striv-
ing to pay it's debt to France In the
name Of Lafayette.
The causes that led Kosciuszko to
leave for America, In 1777, were partly
patriotic, largely personal. OF prince
~ house, he had been educated in War
saw, had Travelled widely over Europe,
and had aspired to the hand of a ward
of his sovereign. Here he met with
disappointment, and this, added to the
growing troubles of his country, from
which, under the existing rule, he could
see no escape, led him to seek part

protest against the advance in freight
rates For nearly a half a century,
since the Granger movement was first
started, there has been protest on
the part Of shippers against high
freight rates. Most of the prejudice
that has been built up against rail-
roads in the past has been due to the
belief on the part of shippers that
freight rates have been eXorbitant. OF
course the shippers made the produc-
ers and the consumers pay these rates
and This prejudice among the people
finally resulted In the Granger legis-
latlon in the several states and inter
state commerce legislation by CON
gresS all with view of curling the
railroads and reducing rates.

quite SO startling as the increase Of
freight and passenger rates. And even

for the advance In freight rates. Pre-
vious to the war when the railroads
made an application for 10 per cent

increase was such ms to prevent IT,.
But ms long as the railroads have
been taken over for war purposes and
are run by the government the in

The increase in passenger rates may

Anybody who can do good house
fort to master some essential details
can be a successful home Gamer.
OF course, good sense and more than
ordinary care must be exercised, and
certain definitely demonstrated prin-
ciples must be adhered to.
1t is not necessary to discuss those
principles here The United States
department of agriculture has reduced
them to simple terms and printed them
In plain language. Full printed infor-
nation on canning may be had from
the department of agriculture by any
who care to ask for it--both general
information and specific information
on particular fruits and vegetables. In
addition TO that, the department OF
agriculture has an army Of home dem
constructors, experts in canning, who are
anxious to give practical, flrst-hand In
structlon, and one of whom Is within
reach Of practically every housewife In
the United States.

instruction are adequate and easily

There is, as everybody knows,
shortage OF available labor for food
production. All people cannot do all
the kinds of labor that are necessary

Housewife as Director.
Probably the housewife, In most
cases, will have to be the director OF
the canning operations. But, in most
cases, she will not have to do all, or
even the greater part, Of the labor. In
most Of the processes of canning, boys
and girls-even comparatively small
boys and girls--can be efficient help
ers. Old persons-grandmothe who
