 JESSE RYLAND. Just happy son of Soldier Land, That We coldn't help but love. Gone to join the other soldiers
 In the big army above Kept this great big nation from
 fears,
 Laughing cares away for years For a million eyes of laughter
 There's million eyes Of tears. Fighting bravely to the finish,
 Cheered by every pal and friend Though he knew death was falling, He kept smiling to the end. And the Master in his goodness
 Laid our soldier boy to rest, While angels placed a tambourine Of roses upon his breast. Play the bugles softly,
 Soldiers while we weep Kneel and pray in silence
 For our soldier boy asleep.

Fooled
BY AMERICANS
master Mind
Exposure Of Intrigue and
Plots Due to Mystery Per-
son in United States.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Tucked
securely away in secret Granny OF the
government today is the mysterious
master mind" who deciphered the
prize German code and set the diplo
matte capitals of the world by the
ears.
The American brain revealed ex
French Premier Caillauxs pro-German
political intrigue and put him under
R traitor charge before his OWN coun-
trymen.
1t brought out the stark skeleton of
Germans Central and South American
dominion ambition and ratified it be-
fore the world. 1t has caused the re-
call OF Count Won Luxburg as German
minister to Argentina, and caused the
populace OF Buenos Aires to riot In
the streets for war on Prussianism.
r. has involved the integrity OF the
Swedish ambassadors to Mexico and
Argentina. II has pictured the machi'
nations Of Won Bernstorff and his pup.
pets In the United States.
Who is Master Mind?
1WhO is he-.-or she--to beat German
cunning by fathoming the intercepted
Luxburg notes? That's the question
being asked around the world today
by premiers, potentates, plenipoten-
taries. and other wearers of the no
litical purple.
The kaiser himself would give mil
lions OF marks to know and to get his
clutches on this person, for he--or she
is the one who has played ducks and
brakes with Wilhelm's dream of world
domination and spilled his pan-Ger
man plans all over the international
situation. Who this person is nobody
knows-for publication. After the
war perhaps the story may be told.
DECIDING a Brilliant Feat.
After secret agents intercepted the
code messages from Luxburg to Ber-
lin, some of them via Count Won Bern
storff of Washington, it fell to this
person to fathom their secrets.
Not only were they couched in Ger.
man but also In the German code.
which the kaisers craftiest diplomatic
agents spent years in building up. And
this American smashed the code. AS
result the kaiser's prize secrets are
ours. but this prize secret of ours is
not the kaiser's.

FIRE DESTROYS
INDIANA Mine

TERRE HAUTE, Feb. IL. - Mine
No of the Jackson Hill Coal and

stroyed by fire Of incendiary origin
early today. the loss being estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000 by Gen.
eral Manager Colesen. The mine is
located north OF Tecumseh. and the
fire will cut down the coal production
OF this district about 1000 tons per
day.
"The mine pas purposely set on fire.
There is no doubt about that Mr.
Colesen said today. II cannot say how
long we will be compelled to remain
closed down, but we will rebuild as
soon as we can get material. II ma
terial is too hard to get will secure
a priority order from the government

An order issued yesterday by the
Federal food administration prohib.
its the buying of hens and pullets dur.
ing the egg-leying period, or until az
ter May 1. The order becomes effec-
tive today (Tuesday) and is intended
TO stimulate production OF eggs by
keeping the largest possible supply OF
hens and pullets on the farms. The
order affects the entire nation.
A copy OF the Federal order was re.
Wyckoff, food administrator for Mar.
ion County, who at once notified all
produce dealers operating in Indiana
polls and throughout the county that
the purchase of fowls is prohibited. A
violation OF this order. Mr.. Wyckoff
declared. means the revoking OF the
Dealers license who commits the Of
tense.
"This order" Mr.. Wyckoff said
comes at the right time and it is just
the regulation needed. A hen or pull.
let on the farm now is worth more
producing eggs than she would sell
for. if the owner was allowed to dis
pose of her. The average hen or pull
let will lay at least fifty eggs between
now and May 1. Figure each egg as
being worth 3 cents each (they are
now about 8 3.4 cents each) one hen
would produce in that time $1.50
worth of eggs.
1.-The order applies 10 all dealers. II
means that a dealer can not buy a
hen or pullet after today until May /.
The food administration wants these
hens and bullets kept on the farm to
produce eggs. Eggs soon will be
come a substitute for meat and the
consumption will increase according.
ly. Then comes the time for the egg.
packing season. A larger supply will
have to be packed than usual to take
care of next winters consumption.
Another thing-the food admins
tration will not permit dealers who
have supplies Of frozen poultry to
raise their prices during this period.

Italy Tops Timber Reserves.

TO provide the necessary timber for
the use of the army since the war be-
gan, recourse has been made to the
immense forests of Sila in Calabria,
southern Italy. Before the war the
country imported two-thirds Of the tim
ber required annually for the use Of
the civil population from abroad, prin-
cipally from Austria, and no small
problem was presented to the author
tiles by the necessity of providing the
enormous quantity of timber needed
for the miles Of trenches and for all
the temporary buildings which have
been erected behind the front. Com
mittees were set up to devise metho-
dical system by which, in all the woods
anywhere near the zone Of the war all
cutting down should be dore that was
possible without complete defpresta-
tion. To further the telling Of the
timber in the forest of Sila roads have
been cut and quantities Of machinery
set up. 1t Is expected that the district
will provide about 35,O0O,00O moro
cubic feet Of timber this year than In
normal times.
