HOT. WINDS.

The winds were fried before deliv-
cred; the cornstalks in them curled
and quivered,' they shriveled in the
sun; oh, now the men who run the
weather should change their cam
paign altogether-hot winds won't
whip the Hun. The corn was healthy,
strong and nifty; I've never seen. it
look more thrifty, twas green and full
of juice; the farmers sat them down
to figure upon harvest three times
bigger than common years produce.
And then the ratified weather prophet
shipped in a lot of wind from Tophet,
where it was doubly broiled; he turn
ed it loose upon those regions where
cornstalks grew in rustling legiOns,
and all the crop was spoiled. The
weather man should surely catch it;
he did it with his little hatchet, and
/ can't get through with bunk; another

junk. We are not desofate, forsaken

gods will not forget us, though corn:

PARCELS To sci nrERs IN
-. RRANHE

1t appears that the public does not
fully understand the conditions under
which parcels may be sent to Ameri-
can soldiers in France. The postoffice
is permitted to accept such a parcel
only upon presentation of a written
request by the soldier, approved by q
regimental officer-a colonel, Iieuten-
ant-colonel or mayor. An officers O.
X on letter in which a request is
made shows only that the letter has
been censored and passed; the Off
GERS approval must be appended di-
rectly to the request.
Parcels to soldiers in France are
limited to seven pounds weight. They
must be securely packed and plainly
addressed with the soldiers rank,
name and army unit, thus:
Private William Smith,
Company T., 105th Infantry,
American EXpeditiOnary Forces
The sender must enclose within the
parcel the soldiers request, approved
by regimental officer. On. the wrap
per the sender's name and address
must be written, with the postmaster's
endorsement:
''This parcel contains only articles
sent at approved request of addressee,
which is enclosed. John Doe, p. M"
Rockville, S. c., Aug. 25, 1918.''
This procedure was adopted in or
der to save valuable cargo space for
goods, munitions and other essentials
Many articles useful to soldiers are
on sale by quartermasters abroad al
the lowest possible prices. A money
order sent to soldier will enable him
to supply himself without sending ar
approved requisition and then waiting
for the parcel. Postal money orders
to soldiers are made out on domestic
forms, but are drawn on "U. S. Army
Postal Service" without indicating the
name of any particular postoffice. Onl!
| domestic fees are charged.
| Be sure that mail to soldiers abroad
is correctly and clearly addressed. Tht
address should indicate the rank
name and military unit. The follow
ing is the correct form:

SUDDENLY REVISED HIS CODE
Exponent of Masculine Street-Car
Courtesy Felt Himself Justified
in Making Exception.

The stout man on the Wade Park
car turned to his companion.
1--WE formulated new code Of mas
culine courtesy" he said, "and pledged
myself to observe it. When l am for
tunate enough to get seat in Il car
l hang onto it-with three exceptions.
I'll give it up to an elderly woman, to
woman carrying q child and to a
sick person. l draw the line at these
exceptions. It's my street car courtesy
code, revised to date and in line with
prevailing conditions"
He stopped suddenly and stared at n
plainly dressed woman who stood close
by. Then he quickly arose and gave
her his seat.
When the two men left the car the
other man said to his friend: "How
did you happen to give your seat to
that woman?"
I've enlarged my CODE"
"YOur infleXible code? Yes, but
why?"
"That woman has husband, q son,
or brother in the army. But probably
you didn't notice it?"
Notice what?"

"Eltteatn Under Arctic Circle.

We think of Greenland as frozen
and desolate land fit only for the
abode of the hardy EskimOs. And yet
in Finland, in severe northern eli
mate, has grown up IL hardy and virlle
race, Nevin O. Winter writes in the
Christian Herald. Perhaps it was be-
cause only the sturdiest could survive
under such conditions, for isolation
bred self-reliance and industry was ne
cessary to existence. AT any rate, the
fact remains that the Firms have de-
velOped a civilization that is unique
and of interest. 1t is not surprising,
to one familiar with the Films and
their history, to know that republic
has been proclaimed. No people are
more truly democratic. Under the au-
tocratic rule of the czars Finland main
tained her democratic institutions, and
it was the only part of Russia where
the traveller was free to move about
without having q demand made almost
daily for his passport. The Russian
calendar, which is thirteen days be-
hind our own, was ignored and in ev-
cry way the public and social customs
differed from those of the Russians.

AT HOME IN WILD PLACES

John Vance Cheney, the poet, told

A Chemists Service.

A few days ago visitor at the Min
cola aviation camp asked a skilled air
chauffeur what were his most trying
experiences when two or three thou
sand feet aloft He said the worst
was the numbing effect of the cold,
high wind, combined often with rain.
No equipment has yet been perfected
whereby an aviator under these CON
ditions can protect himself. A be-
numbed aviator reduces the efficiency
of an airplane 80 per cent or more.
This aviator was informed that the
chemists had solved the problem Of a
garment that will keep rain out, that
will maintain a comfortable tempera-
ture of the body and protect from
piercing wind. A distinguished chem
list in the service of a large industrial
corporation was asked If he could per-
feet a formula for cotton cloth that
would furnish a garment practically in
destructible, not cracking, as rubber
does in high attitudes, and that would
keep out cold and rain. He worked
out a cloth which is the delight Of
those aviatOrs now using it. 1t can be
manufactured at very little cost.

the unexpected blow caused him to

Does the law Of average run true in
golf matches? According to Charles
Evans, national amateur and open
champion, the answer is in the aftir-
native.
He claims that all persons must
agree that accidents may in one disas-
trous moment sweep away the work Of
years, destroying health, happiness,
even life itself; but, Of course, this is
a fact Of possibility, not of greatest
probability. In all ordinary conditions
he believes that the race is to the swift
and the battle to the strong.
All sorts of bad luck may delay sue
cess, but skill averages well in sue
cess in the long run in golf as well as
all the important things of life.

TWO GOOD TALES
OF TRAPSHOOTERS
Bandmaster Sousa Becomes
Good Shot, but Fred Gilbert
Is No Drummer.
DESIRED TO BE A MUSICIAN
Spirit Lake Silver cornet Band still
Looking for Someone to Beat Big
Bass Drum-Where Mar
shall Learned A, 3, C's.

Many are the tales told among trap
shooters about members Of the clan
and their doings. Two of the stories
that have gone the rounds of the trap
fraternity are given here.
John Philip Sousa, the bandmaster,
and Fred Gilbert, the professional
trapshot, are friends Of long stand
ing. Sousa at dinner given in Gill
bert's honor, told of his first meeting
with 'Frltz," and the proposal that Gill
bert teach Sousa how to shoot clay
pigeons, in return for which instruc-
tion, SOusa was to teach Gilbert the
most approved way to play n bass
drum.
AS the music master told II, "FritZ"
had conflded his great ambition to be-
come the bass drummer of the Silver
COrnet Band Of Spirit Lake, Ia. his
home town, while, on the other hand,
Sousa told Gilbert that since he was
known among trapshOOters as a mu-
sician, he was desirous of making a
reputation among musicians as trap
shooter.
Mastered Boom Beats.
The terms were accepted by both the
party of the first part and the party
Of the second part, and instrac-
ton began. However, according to
Sousa, while Gilbert quickly mastered
the boom beats on the drum, he
has never succeeded in progressing to
the bumpety, boom, boom stage, and
the S. 3. C. of Spirit Lake still needs
bass drummer.
SOusa's high scores at the traps pay
tribute to the great musician as
a pupil and "Frltz" Gilbert as an in
structor.
The ''hero" of this narrative is Tom
Marshall, the dean of sharpshooting and
the games "official orator"

Captain Marshall acted as spokes-

aced his explanation Of the sport with
q few well-chOsen words, in which ne
paid tribute to the particular city in
which the demonstration was held.
We are told that among the things
he said was: "It is with peculiar pleas

so intimately associated with my early
days, for it was in the little red school
house over yonder (there is always a
little r. S.-over yonder in every Sec
tion) that l learned my a, b, c's."
This neat little "bull" invariably
made hit, and was given liberal space
in the newspapers Of the towns un-
til the editors-thrOugh an exchange
discovered that "Tom" had learned
his "a, b, c's" at least % times in as
many different places.
1t is needless to say that thereafter
Captain Marshall never made refer
ence to his early education.
