REVELATIONS FROM THE
DAYS BEFORE GREATNESS
WAS THRUST UPON Them
Chapter 10.
(Hsie Fitzmaurice.)

S0aptef lU.
The heroine of this chaptery was
once a member of that noble army of
teachers who train the youth of the
nation. SO well did she accomplish
her task that when said youths cast
their votes, they elected Miss Grace
Gillian county treasurer. Thus. for
the first time in history. a woman is
the guardian OF Umatilla cOunty's
funds
She knew all about the source of
all evil long before she was chosen
for this office. for she and her broth
er, w. A. Gillian. were joint owners
os a gold and silver mine in the
Green Horn mountains of Grant
county. They sold it in 1902. To-day
this mine, known as the Ben Harri-
son, contains a million dollars worth
Of ore. But Miss Gillian is a phi
losopher and says it took lot OF
money to get that million.
Miss Gillian, who was born at Pi-
lot Rock, comes from a long line of
oregon pioneers. Her father, H. E
Gillian. was one of the early settlersI
in the county and occupied the office
of assessor for several years Colo
mel Cornelius Gillian, for whom Gil
liam county is named and VINO was
killed during the Indian wars, was
Miss Gilliam's great uncle.
In spite Of the fact that she Is do
ing unassisted the duties of her Of
flee which were formerly done by
two men. Miss Gillian has lime for
"roughing it, and likes nothing bel-
ter than a fishing trip or a long ride
on horseback. And she's a social
service worker. too-fOr she is one
OF the founders Of a hospital at Pl- /
lot Rock. which IS called Grace 1
in her honor.

crops-eertainly the first i'll this part OF
the country-and Nermont's commission

pride he shows in summarizing the way
that they did their bit in the sugar camps
About 5,500,00G naples were tapped, many
more than last year The production o
226 pounds OF sugar to tree shows that
the year was hardly up to the
usual Vermont mark, but the total of u,
10000 pounds is nevertheless an imposing
total. That means about 80 pounds per cap
tia for the poulation of the state, and
since Mr.. Hoover figures on a sugar con
sumption of 80 pounds per capita, it means
that Vermont has this spring contributed

BEES FOR WAR MESSENGERS
Their Employment Is Said to Have
Gone Far Beyond the Range
Of Probability.

A secret long cherished in the Brit
ish war department has Just been dis
covered-the use Of bees as messen-
gers.
No longer will the aide de camp
spur his staggering horse through shot
and she'll to carry the message to the
front. Instead he will don his gloves
and mask, and, going to the portable
beehive back of headquarters, seize
one of the faithful little insects, and
send the well-trained messenger
through the air.
Whoever possesses q receiving outfit
can read the secrets of the wireless
one can cut the wires Of the ordinary
telegraph, and the pigeon does not al
ways escape the bullet.
Therefore, other means have been
sought. In America, the general staff
a dreams ms Of using as dispatch bearer
The bee, like the carrier pigeon,
guided by it's marvellous instinct, re-
turns to the hive from wherever he
may be liberated. Tiny dispatches
which can be deciphered with the mag
nifying glass, can be attached to its
breast.
But something better still has been
found. By an ingenious process the
wings OF the tiny insect are sensitized
and by means of microscopic photog
raphy the message is imprinted there
on.

The enormous drain upon the home
resources of the Kaiser's people is in
dicated in the figures made public bv
the British admiralty, based upon in
formation in its hands According to
the rate of annual gain of population
in Germany, Austria and Hungary. the
empire should have 100000 inhabi-
tants in the coming year, but this nor
NAL increase has been cut down bv the
100000 sacrificed in the war, by sim
liar falling off in the birth rate. by
mortality in the civil population, until
the estimate today is no more than
CISCO, 900. If the war goes into next year
the conclusion is that the population on
which reliance has been placed for
the enlargement of German prosperity
and industry, and for the repairing of
damage to trade and commerce when
peace shall come, will have lost 10 pei
cent of its numbers and still greater
proportion of it's industrial strength
Germany is paying and will continue te
pay an awful price for the qualification
of the ambitions of the Kaiser and the
other war lords.

The Coal Warning.
Burlington Free Press

Why should warnings to buy coal be
repeated and reiterated when it is true
that good many consumers cannot get
immediate deliveries? The important
thing is to get the orders on file. The
fact that the demand is greater than
the supply will tend to stimulate produc-
ton and delivery, and this is the most
favorable time of the year for mining
and the transporting of coal In other
words, it is better to have shortage
now than next winter.
The coal orders that are placed now,
it is announced, will be filed as rapid
ly as the coal is available. The pref
erence will be given to the man who
gets his order in first. Those who fail
to place their names on the preferential
list will have to take their chances
next winter.

Too Much soap Bad.

Many persons abuse soap by making
q stiff. creamy lather In bathing,
under the belief that this is necessary
to dissolve dirt that fills the pores of
the skin. On the contrary. DR.. Samuel
Dixon. health commissioner Of Penn
sylvania. says very little soap is re-
quired to break up dirt and permit
water to remove foreign substances
from the pores so that glands may
perform their normal function. Elk
cessive use Of soap usually fills the
pores with fatty substances and re-
suits In imperfect action of the sweat
glands. which Is recognized as a cause
OF disease. especially Of respiratory
nature.

Texas is already harvesting winter
wheat and the cutting is moving north
into Oklahoma and Kansas. Our local
crops here in Vermont are our first care,
but 1t is reassuring in view of the ire
mendous need of wheat to know that
this is the earliest winter wheat har-
vest on record; also that the climatic
conditions continue favorable and crop
complaints are conspicuous by their
absence. When our state returns are
all III it will be interesting to see how
many thousands of acres are in wheat
this year and what the crop returned
This years harvest will be a test of
values and an index for future sowings
