CREEK IS
 FALLING

The contrary waters of Lowell Creek have perhaps made their last shifting for the present unless there is more rain. The wingdamS west oi First Avenue have kept the water in fairly good confines although the north dam blanks are in many places above the old stream bed and water is pouring through in new channel. The stream which broke out yester- day south of the old stream bed has dwindled down. Under the Third avenu bridge the stream moved north wards about twenty feet. Sand and other debris, has raised the bed of the stream about five feet at the Fourth street bridge. South of the Fourth street bridge two streams branch out one towards the old shops and the other towards the light plant. Much debris and slit has piled up around the light plant.
 The falling of the water has enabled men to work on the pipe line up the creek which supplies water to the light plant but it is uncertain wheth- CT the lights will be turned on tonight or tomorrow.

CARE FOR ALL STRAY CATS
Every Day Homeless GrimalI<ins Arc
Fed at clolster Of San Lorenzo
In Florence, Italy.

From time immemorial the stray cats
Of Florence. Italy, have been cared
for. The cloister of San Lorenzo is
sacred to poor puss. It is overlooked
by the windows of the famous Lau-
rentian library, built by Michelangeio
for Pope Clement VII to house the
Medicean collection.
All stray cats are taken thither, and
at noon every day scraps of meat,
ETC.. collected from house after house,
are emptied into the dry moat round
the grass. Toward feeding-t time one
may see cats Of all kinds and degrees
black, tortoise-shell, tawny, and
white, male and female, young and old
'-basking in the sun and licking their
chops.
Finally, when the food is brought,
from every direction cats crowd in,
kissing at one another. mewing and
making much noise. Then, when they
have fed, human snappers-up Of un-
considered trifles come round to Sc
cure the pieces Of paper, ETC.. for rags.
When lost cat is found in the city
1t is taken to San Lorenzo as natu-
rally as every Florence baby is taken
to the Baptistry Of st. Johns to be
christened. Moreover, when people
wish to get rid Of their cats, they
do not poison them or leave them to be
starved in empty houses, but send them
to the hospital cloister.

TURN the BOYS THOUGHTS

ASKING COOPERATION

Washington. - Especially = Just be-
fore leaving for France to superln-
tend the rehabilitation activities of
those organizations which recently
took part in the United War Work
Campaign, Raymond b. Fosdlck,
Chairman of the Commission on Train
Ing Camp Activities, was interviewed
with regard to the present situation of
our overseas forces
THE problem presented by the
gradual rehabilitation Of more than
two million men three thousand miles
from home is one which will tax all
our social resources" said Mr.. Fos-
dick. ut Is above all morale prob
lem, and it must be faced as such, win
the full cooperation Of families and
friends here in this country, II 1t is to
be solved successfully. Every one who
has son, brother, must help.
"While the war was on our boys
were fully occupied; they were still
filled with the spirit of adventure,
looking forward rather than back.
Now, however, the fighting is at an
end. They are going to remain, most
OF them, many months doing work
which will be neither exciting nor
particularly interesting. They will get
lonesome, bored and terribly home
sick
1.-THE $17OOOO,OO0 raised In the re-
cent United War Work drive is to be
used precisely to bridge over this Pc
riod by providing recreation and
amusement. But no amount of mere
money expended In such way will be
enough. What these boys really want
Is not diversion, but human interest
and sympathy. These things express
ed In letters from home will warm
their hearts and create home at
mOsphere around them, even while
they are absent from the family circle.
"Such letters may be very neces-
sary sheet anchor to windward In the
case. of some boys. The thought of
some one waiting for them, counting
on them, will more than anything
else. make them hold back and think
twice before plunging into situations
which might mean harm and unhap-
piness for them.
I'VE have raised the cleanest army
In the world. We have kept II clean.
We hope to bring It back as clean and
strong as II was when II left us. But
while we believe our soldiers will
stand the present test-the hardest Of
all in some ways-as bravely and
successfully as they have stood every
other test Of their manhood and en-
durance. II 10 our duty to give them
all the help we can.
This, as have said, can best be
rendered by mems Of letters which
will begin now, at once, not only to
satisfy their home longings, but TO
turn their thoughts from tasks already
accomplished In the long years Of life
ahead OF them"

ees. Condition.. for sIeep.

The best time for sleeping is that
time that will favor the greatest de-
gree of relaxation, With most people
this is some time during the hours
of darkness, when there isn't so much
going on to distract the senses of
sight and hearing. Just what hours
should be devoted to sleep is not as
important as that there should be
enough of them. The so-called beau
ty sleep. achieved during the hours
preceding midnight. is a fact only be-
cause 1t adds to the number Of hours
which, under ordinary conditions, we
might be supposed to spend in bed.
Most Of us get up at about the same
time every mornlng-no matter how
early or how late we've gone to bed
the night before. So there isn't a
word Of truth In the old fable that
one hour Of sleep before midnight is
worth any two hours later. Sleep
is sleep, provided only that 1t is sound,
restful sleep-whether we get 1t at
eight O'Clock in the evening. two
o'clock in the morning. or one o'clock
the next afternoon. II we can get
our sleep undiluted by disturbance so
much the better.

MEAT PRODUCERS
Did FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs win
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
Of Pork Production-Sevenfold
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports Of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day In our every action of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be In
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part Of
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrlgera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram us applying particularly to anil
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the o. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle of 10,23S, 900 head
and 12,441 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was a decrease
IN sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January l unofficial informa-
tion indicates an increase In hogs Of
not less than 8 per cent and not
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request Of the o. 8.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than ,60O,-
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this Increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
final food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80.
1917, amounted to 9O3, 172, 900 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1877 $50 900, an increase of over 374..
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter of
IN nNfN
pounds as against l,454. .00O,O 900 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l, this year.

Friendly Boy, Timid Cat.

MAYAs INDIANS BEFORE lNcAs
Race That Has Long Since pIsap-
peared Ranked With the Axtees
In Scale Of Civilization.

Prescott's Conquest Of Peru &C
counts for the popular belief that all
the people Of this country were In
cas-. The truth is that the greatest
part Of the textiles Of ancient Peru
belongs to a people that had passed
away before the Incas tribes reached
the coast.
The Mayas were the ancient race
of Indians which settled in the low
lands Of Guatemala In Central Amer
lea. They ranked with the Aztecs in
civilization. They excelled in sculp-
ture, cotton weaving and feather
work. About the sixth century they
are supposed to have disappeared.
They left behind them cities like an
Client Quirigua, now mass Of ruins
overgrown by the Jungle. Half
buried by tropical growth today the
Psychologists are uncovering huge
monoliths sculptured with strange de-
signs and each bearing giant face.
The Mayas have disappeared, but
the Indians, forming more than half
the population Of Guatemala, are their
direct heirs.
Their bright-colored blankets and
scarfs, their primitive methods Of
barter, their open-air markets filed
with great heaps of strange stuffs and
articles. should capture the imagina-
tioA of any modern textile designer
with ideas.

passlno Of the Tall Hat

The quaint tall hat which Is now
only seen in Wales, or on the heads Of
stage witches In pantomimes, was
originally the fashionable head-dress
for ladies' during the reign Of Queen
Anne. A curious result Of that fashion
can, or could lately. be found at the
West-Country vicarage once held by
Lancelot Blackburne, the retired buc.
cancer who became archbishop of
York. There the lintels of the door
ways are. or were. abnormally high,
to enable Mrs. Blackburne to 60 from

DO WE WANT A DICTAToR9

Ex-president Taft has fairly. clear
ly and tersely summed up the signi
hcance of President Wilson's appea
TO the American people to elect Dem
ocratic Congress, in a recent articl,
appearing in the Public Ledger O
Philadelphia and reprinted in the To
ledo Blade October Both. 1--WE quot,
from this article as follows:
"The appeal of the President
is forcible but specious. The
unified leadership he asks is auto
cratic power in fields in which the
constitution and principles of de-
mocracy require that he should
consult other representatives of
the people than himself.
"Is it necessary for the country's
welfare that he should be abso-
lutely ruler of this nation for the
two years ensuing from March
Attn next? That is the premise
upon which the soundness of his
appeal in its ultimate analysis
must rest. Do we need during
the life of the next Congress a
Dictator?
"The still more difficult ques-
tions of reconstruction after the
war are to be met by that Con-
gress. Do the American people
by their action in the next cleo
tion wish to make both the
terms of peace and the recon-
struction after the war depend
on the uncontrolled will of Wood
row Wilson? That is the issue
which he puts to them in his
appeal.
"Instead of obstructing the
President and our allies in win
ming this war and a dictated
peace nothing would so discour-
age the Germans and hearten
our allies as the return of Re-
publican Congress.
