take care of her, Ward, as long as she

so we can look after her. She won't

added shyly, that we could sit in

for me to do for somebody. Ward"
"Oh. you Wilhemina !" Ward slipped
his arm around her, to the disgust of
Rather and Blue, and made shift to
kiss her twice. Long as you live.
you'll always be. doing something for
somebody; that's the way you're made.
And ~nobody's been doing things for
you; but If the Lord lets me live, that's
going to be my Job from now on"
He said a great deal more, of
course. They had nearly fifteen miles
to go, and they rode at a walk and a
man and a maid can say a good deal
ut such a time. But don't think they
would like to have it all repeated.
Their thoughts ranged far back over
the past and far into the future, and
chung close to the miracle of love that
had brought them together. There is
one thing which Billy Louise, even In
her most self-revealing mood, did not
tell Ward, and that is her doubts of
him. Never once did he dream that
she had suspected him and wrung her
heart because Of her suspicions-and
In that think she was wise and kind.
They found Seabeck and Floyd Car
son and another cowboy at the Cove,
just preparing to leave. Marthy, II
trinSpired, had sent for them because
she wanted to make her will, so that
Billy Louise would have the Cove when
Marthy was done with it. Billy Louise
cried a little and argued a good deal,
but Marthy had not lost all her stub
bornness. and the will stood un-
changed.
ADitt A<DuioC anu NuIu were HuTTIeu
just rs 500 as Ward was able to make
the trip to the cOunty-seat, which was
just as soon as he could walk comfort
ably with a cane.
They stayed the winter In the Cove,
and n part Of the spring. Then they
buried grim, gray old Marthy up on the
side hill near Jase, where she had
asked them to lay her work-worn body
when she was gone.
They were very busy and very happy
and pretty prosperous with their three
ranches. They never heard of Charlie
Fox again, or Of Buck Olney-and they
never wanted to.
If you should some time ride through
n certain portion of Idaho, you may
find the tiny valley Of the Wolverine
and the decaying cabins which prove
how impossible 1t Is for a couple to
live in three places at once. II you
should be so fortunate as to meet Billy
she might take you through
the canon and point out to you her
cave. 1t is possible that she might also
show you the washout which always
made her and Ward laugh when they
1t. And If you ride up over the
hill and along the upland and down
another hill, you cannot fail to find the
entrance to the Cove and perhaps you
will like to ride down the gorge and
see the little Eden hidden away there.

bees. In such an average season an
apiary Of 100 colonies may gather nee
tar equivalent to pm tons of honey
where the "honey crop" or surplus
honey will be only IN tons. That 100
colonies Of bees can find nectar suffi-
cient to make 22h tons Of honey with
in a range Of about two miles gives
some idea Of the amount of sugar avail
able In the form Of nectar. This
amount doubtless is much below the
actual sugar at hand, for when nectar
is flowing freely bees do not get 1t all.
Furthermore. in many places more
than 80 pounds Of surplus are obtained
and often more than 100 colonies a
be kept profitably in one place. !
In the face Of these facts it is regret
table to find so many %beekeepers who
fail to get even the small percentage
which belongs to the beekeeper. There
are parts of the United States where
80 per cent of all colonies of bees are
in hollow logs or plain square boxes
in which combs Of bees cannot be
handled. There are few parts of the
country where the box hive is not
found and probably one-third of. all the
bees in the country are so housed. In
this case both equipment and manage
ment are poor and the energy of the
bees is misdirected. Even of those
who keep their bees in modern hives
Of movable frames the vast majority
do not get the full crop. By falling
to control swarming by providing in
sufficient room for storage or by lack
Of proper are in winter their crop
Is often reduced one-half or more.

Compressed Air Clears Sewer Pipes

Bradford, England, has n sewer five
miles long with a drop of 20 feet In
distance. The grade is not uniform.
AS the sewage is loaded with heavy,
solid matter, the flow was not what
it should have been. The city did not
want to resort TO pumping because Of
the expense. One of the city en-
gineers hit upon the idea of using COM
pressed air at a pressure of 80 pounds
and discharging 1t at regular inter-
walls into the eve The plan was car
ried out with great success. 1t has
been done for some time now with
out a recurrence of the difficulty.

Community Kitchens Canned.

Community kitchens, where surplus
vegetables and fruits are canned I'M
der cooperative arrangements. were
operated last year in Ohio, Peasants,
Kenawha, Jefferson, and, to some ex-
tent, in other counties of West Vir-
ginia. The kitchens were supervised
by the home demonstration agents Of
the extension division of the state
university.
In the city Of Charleston, where a
kitchen was opened in July, the num-
Der who brought products to be can
ned increased from SO women during
the second week to several times that
number in a short time.
Supplementing the work Of the
Charleston kitchen are about Is VOL
unteer women who, under the super
vision Of the home demonstration
agent of Kanawaha county, established
temporary field kitchens in the rural
communities. to which the women
bring their surplus vegetables and
fruits.
As a result of this effort, large guam
titles of food were conserved. much of
which would otherwise have been
wasted.

Producers and u may find
1t to their advantage to use the parcel
post for marketing sirups and extract
ed honey. according to a statement
from the bureau Of markets. United
States department Of agriculture. Ex-
perimental shipments of maple, cane,
sorghum sirups, and extracted honey,
made from many parts Of the country
over many different mail routes, have
shown the possibilities Of marketing
these products by parcel post. A total
of 1914 trial shipments were made over
distances averaging 654 miles. a much
greater distance, 1t is pointed out, than
sirups are likely to be sent by mail.
OF these shipments only three showed
any material loss Of contents because
Of seepage or leakage and this was due
to unusually rough handling.
Tin Containers Used.
Two types of tin containers were
found satisfactory for parcel post ship
ments of sirups and honey. Both
types have screw caps and are pro-
vided with outer cartons Of corrugated
paper board. The screw caps contain
snugly fitting pieces of cork that cover
the opening in the cans when the screw
caps r properly closed. As a protec-
ton to the screw caps. squares of cor
rugated paper board are placed on top

High Cost Of Containers.
While the cost of containers Is high
at the present time, there are doubtless
many cases in which parcel post mar
would be desirable and economi-

Because Of lack Of attention fully
half the bees now kept In the United
States are virtually useless to their
owners and consequently ~beekeeping il

honey obtained by good beekeepers
scarcely will exceed so pounds to the

the average needed by a hive to main

EITHER WAY GERMANY WILL
LOSE

Review Of Reviews-Terrible as the
struggle has become, therefore, its
significance was never so apparent to
all the world as it has become within
the past month. The German leaders
have no thought of any peace except
what they call a good German peace"
ing victory over France ard England.
The Allies can therefore make no
plans looking toward peace, excepting
through military action that will first
show the world that % the Germans
canno gain their smashing victory on
the West Front this summer, and (2)
that even if further heavy reverses
should overtake the Allies, there is no
chance for an accepted and established
peace in a world harmonized under
German dictation. France, Great Brit
ain, the United States, and Italy are
determined to cooperate SO completely
and so generously at this time as, to
withstand the desperate blows that
are undoubtedly to be dealt under the
direction of the German emperor and
his allies and his military leaders. If
Germany does not achieve great sue
cess within the next three or four
months, she will have lost the war.
This does not mean that peace would
assuredly be achieved during the pres
ent year. But it means that through
another winter of preparation the mil
itary and naval resources of the en-
emies OF Germany would almost GER
tainly develop and become effective in
such a way as to give all the advan-
tages from an aggressive standpoint
to the nations that are leagued to-
gether for the overthrow of German
power. The time has come to develop
Allied cooperation On a broad scale
and make every effort count towards
the final solution.

TESTS FOR AWARDING MEDAL
OF HONOR

These tests are applied to cases
recommended for the medal of honor,
according to instructions issued as a
guide to officers by Gen. Pershing:
Men who have performed in action
deeds of most distinguished personal
bravery and ~self-sacriice above and
beyond all call Of duty; so conspic-
uous as clearly to distinguish them
for %gallantry and intrepidity above
their comrades; which involve risk
of life or the performance of
more than ordinarily hazardous SER
vice, the omission of which would not
justly subject the person to censure
for shortening or failure in the per-
Torrance of his duty.
The distinguished service cross is
awarded for gallantry in action to any
one who may distinguish himself in
action by extraordinary heroism in
connection with military operations
against an armed enemy, under cir
c~umstarfces which do not justify the
award of the medal of honor.
The distinguished service medal is
awarded for exceptionally meritorious
service to the government in cOnnec
ton with operations against an armed
enemy.

last week. Mr.. Dalthorp states that
in comparison with former state con-

last week was very tame.
The editor of the Tribune went 10
Brookings last Thursday morning
particularly to hear the speech of Ad-
jutant General Morris, which was ad-
vertised to take place at the fair
grounds. General morris was not
there and those in charge had known
for some time that he would not be
there, but they never changed their
advertising, although five papers Of
the county were printed last week
before the Fourth. The address of

platform manager of the Chautauqua,
and was a fine speech, full of patri.

Old Glory was born, flags have died,
but Old Glory has had new birth. The
white flag of royal France and the
standard of Napoleon have given way
to the %tri-color, but Old Glory still
waves. From generation to generation
our flag is born anew, re-created in
our hearts, ever better loved and more
sacred in our eyes, because it Is the
flag for which our heroes have died
and because it is the sylnpetaoi etaoi
and because it is the symbol of the
only government that can endure-a
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people. 1t is the flag
of no king or car or emperor, but
your flag and my flag and the flag Of
the brave boy who has gone with a
song on his lips to die that We may
remain free.
Earth has ne greater glory today
than Old Glory. For a century and a
half it has foated above u soil, a
sign that we are free. Today it floats

for conquest, but as an earnest that all
nations that desire freedom shall
he%nceforth be free.
