From kids at school to buddies in

An so we signals up an gets our
time,
While all the fellers cheer us as
we go;
we didn't stop to lather off the CRIME
Or shake the dust, or even count
our dough.
The sergeant takes a slant an breaks

"A bath for you!" he says. I'm
there's the shower"
An when the doctor guy comes bust
lin in,
Out we steps as pink as any flower.
He tries our eyes an whispers in our
ears,
He listens at our chests while we
expands;
He tests our hearts an all our inard
gears.

out your hands!

You'll never do;
You couldn't pull the trigger worth

Tough luck, old top" says jim. "Pll

So Jim has gone, good scout, an left

THE NEWSPAPER GAME.

According to the latest newspaper
directory, the circulation of the Knox
vile Express is given at $500 The
Daily Herald has a circulation of over
1000. The Express has just in
creased its advertising rates from Is
10 20 cents per column inch. The
Herald's price is 25 cents. Taking
calculations into consideration,--if the
Herald charged as much in proportion
as the Express does, the Herald's
price would be 80 cents per inch. And
do not understand us as trying to in
fer that the Express is charging too
much. Far from it, The following
item taken from the Express shows
what papers big and little are up
against. and the absolute necessity Of
higher prices for advertising and sub
scription. Says the Express:
Beginning with this issue, The Elk
press advances its advertising rate to
zoe an inch. The great rise in wages
and the 100 to $50 per cent advance
in the price of print paper and mater
ials have doubled the cost of making
An advance of subscrip-
ton rates last year gave some meas.
ure of relief at that time, but il. fell
far short of making UP the increased
cost of the newspaper, and il is moth

burden should be put upon the adver-
Using department. Be it said to their
credit and appreciation of the situa-
ton, local business men responded
cheerfully. and this first issue Of the
advanced advertising rate carries the
largest volume of business OF any
since the first of the year 1t is ratb-

WHY WE ARE SHORT OF SUGAR

Beet sugar, in 1903, divided the
worlds market equally with cane SUI
gar, and the two rivals stayed sub
stantially neck and neck until the
great war came, says E. E. Slosson,
in the New York Independent.
This shut out from England the
product of Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Belgium, Northern France and Rus
STA, and took the farmers from their
fields. The present battle lines of
the Central Powers inclose the land
which used to grow third of the
worlds supply of sugar.
In 1913 the beet and the cane each
supplied about million tons of sugar,
In 1917 the output of cane sugar was
IL 200 900 and of beet sugar 100000
tons. Consequently, the Old World
had to draw upon the New. Cuba,
on which the United States used, TO
depend for half its sugar supply, sent
more than seven hundred thousand
tons of raw sugar to England in 1916,
The United States sent as much more
refined sugar. The lack of shipping
interfered with our getting sugar from
our tropical dependencies, Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
The home grown beets give us only
fifth and the cane of Louisiana and
Texas only a fifteenth of the sugar
we need. AS a result we are obliged
10 file a claim in advance to get a
pound of sugar from the corner gro.

ening" of our forefathers has come
again into vogue in the form Of vari-
Gus syrups. The United States is
accustomed to consume almost a fifth
of all the sugar produced in the world
and just now We can't get it.
The shortage has made us realize
how dependent we have become upon
sugar Yet it was practically I'm
known to the ancients and only with
in the present generation has it be-
come an essential factor in our diet.
AS soon as the chemist made it posi-
BILE to produce sugar at a reasonable
price all nations began to buy it in
proportion to their means. Americans,
as the wealthiest people in the world,
ate the most, ninety pounds year on
the average for every man, woman
and child That is, each one ate
about his weight of sugar in a year,
The English consumed nearly as much
as the Americans; the French and
Germans about. half as much; the
Balkan peoples less than ten pounds
per annum, and TIE African savages
none.

OUR ONLY SALVATION.

As viewed by LATE Young, Germany
will take all the fortified places, seize
all the railroads and in a little while
Russia will be under subsection of
the German autocracy. Russia then
will have the knowledge that she has
escaped the Romanoffs only to be cap
tured by the HohenZollerns. The
late car of Russia and the German
emperor are cousins. If Germany
secures possession of Russia and in
the course of twenty-five years builds
up a Russian army commanded by
Germans the peace Of the world will
be endangered for fact Russia can
furnish soldiers enough, if properly
armed and commanded, to whip all
the remainder of the world. II is evil
dent that Russia will not defend her
self. She will be over-run and pass
TO the control of the German autoc-
racy. Nothing can prevent this ex-
cepting complete and crushing de-
feat OF the German armies on the
western front and the destruction OF
the German navy If Germany takes
Russia she will have the power to go
down the Danube and on down to-
Constantinople and Bagdad These
may be untrue predictions but the

Private Peat writes in deadly earnest
yet it is fighting mans fine humor,
with a full realization of what he is
fighting for and what defeat would
mean. The call to arms, camp life in
Canada, England and France, life in
the trenches and behind the lines,
rations and equipment, the new reli-
gion of the war, Belgian refugees,
German atrocities, under fire, gassed
at Ypres,, wounded lying two days and

courses to fit them for service at the
front, or at least to take the places
of nurses who go TO the front, where
10000 will be needed.
"The need for nurses will not end
with the declaration of peace" his
department points out. Therefore
those who begin the course of train
ing are assured of employment in the
future as well as doing a patriotic
service now. The number of new
students in the schools throughout
the country should be limited only by
their facilities to teach and the clint
cal facilities of the hospitals"
In this connection it is recalled that
Surgeon General Gorgas had an eX-
perience with nurses when he was in
charge of sanitation in the Panama
Canal Zone that may be duplicated in
France 1t was found extremely diff.
ficult to keep nurses in Panama be
cause the American men there mar

THE epidemic of matrimony," as
il was called in Panama, is likely to
break out in France. However, both
nurses and soldiers are over there
strictly on business with the Kaiser
and even if romances bud they will
not flower until peace is declared.

AN HISTORIC CITY.

When Allied air men flew over ii
and dropped bombs on it the other
day. the historic city of Innsbruck
came suddenly from obscurity into
the lifelight. Innsbruck is the capital
and the most picturesque town of the
Austrian Crownland and is situated in
the Alps at an elevation of nearly l.
900 feet, on both banks Of the Inn and
in a region noted for its beautiful
views. II has been for hundreds of
years mecca for sightseers.
Due to the fact that the town, which
now has population of approximate
ly $4,000, lies in broad valley, sur
rounded by high mountains, ii had
evidently been believed to be immune
from attacks from the air
Innsbruck abounds with interesting
and historic buildings. One of the
worlds greatest educational institu-
tons, founded in 1867 by Leopold l.,
in peace times had an enrolment of
1900 students. In 1912 the library
contained 258,620 volumes. There are
several other educational institutions
of prominence.
In Innsbruck is found the oldest Ca
puchin monastery in Austria, which
was begun in 1893. There are also
several old and great churches and
palaces, famous for their beauty. The,
town, too, is dotted with monuments
erected to commemorate early day
warriors.
The town first received municipal
privileges from Ohio |, Duke OF Mer-
