Where He Got the Name.

The first bulldog appears to have
been bred from the English mastiff,
and by process of systematic selection
in breeding a smaller and more active
dog than the mastiff was evolved. The
smaller dog was found to be better
suited for sport than the heavier and
slower mastiff- The bull-baiting dog,
without doubt, required On inordinate
amount of gameness.

Thunder and LIGHTNING.

Thunder is caused by electric dis
charge of lightning. This discharge
in forcing its way through the at
mosphere, heats the air and vapor ly-
ing in its path to a high temperature,
causing a violent expansion along the
whole length of the flash. The result
is a deep compression wave, or what
is the same, a noise. Lightning isfthe
flash of the electric explosion.

said citizens will be violating the

making time will soon be here and
the Ozarks promise to produce a
good yield of apples. many Of which
will be reduced to cider. Cider
when first made is as soft as mush,
but. after it is permitted to remain

Modern Country Homes

Many writer's on rural economies
urge country people to put i'm
modern improvements" veryliberal-
ly. They look forward to the time
when most country homes will have
all the modern electrical kitchen ap-
planes. vacuum cleaners. laundry
machines, water pipes throughout
house and farm buildings, bath
rooms. sanitary disposition Of sew
age, and so on.
A great many country places
have this equipment. Many Others
however. still owe so much money
or have SO many expenses that they
don't feel up to it. The family that
has group Of children to educate
often struggles along in the old
fashioned way, and spends every
cent on the future of those young
folks. 1t is fine spirit of sacrifice.
though perhaps with q bit more
faith it would not be necessary,
During recent years land has
made sharp advances in value. A
land owner may have no more ready
money in sight than he had 10 years
ago. But if his land has advanced
so per cent. while his debts are no
greater, he is in a position where he
can add to the capitalization of his
plant without imprudence.
The man who takes a hopeful
view of the future and does fit up
his home with appliances for labor
saving and convenience strengthens
his position. These facilities great
ly tighten the burden on the house
wife. She is much less likely to
fall sick and requires heavy doctors
and nurses bills. Saving her labors
gives her spare time, and she will
put it in for the benefit of the family.
She may spend it in ways bringing
in greater money return than the
interest and depreciation on the
new equipment.
Also such improvements make
country living more attractive. They
help attach the young people to a
country home. The man who puts
away savings in such facilities is
usually making a good investment.

Army Controversies

The American people are evident
ly in for a good deal of washing of
dirty military linen. The newly
formed American Legion will have
to take up some of of these pending
controversies. A large section of
the returning officers feel there are
serious grievances that must be
rectified. Controversy has gone so
far that il is alleged that many
men were sacrificed in order to dis
credit commanders whom it was de-
sired to put down.
For many years there have been
rivalries between Regular Army
and National Guard. also between
West Point men and those who
rose from the ranks, as well as other
divisions of sentiment. Il is a good
time for a general clean up and
show down, and an examination of
the organization and traditions of
the army system.
While these discussions are IN
fortunate, the army men are to be
given credit for self control and dis
cipline in adjourning these contro-
versies for settlement after the war.
Some people are always saying
hush" hush" when there are
rumors of scandals They will be
saying now, that if the seamy side
of army life should come out, the
Germans will no longer fear this
country, and will adopt a defiant at
titude.
The German spies no doubt know
far more about the mistakes in the
American army organization than
the American people do. Now is
the time while the Germans are
PROSTATE, to clean up all abuses.
and all false standards and ideas
in the army organization. Investiga-
ton may show that wrongs have
been much exaggerated. But there
will always be serious errors in any
public organization that needs recti-
fication. And full publicity is the
only way to get at it, The Amer
lean Legion has a very important
mission, to bring all these things to
light. and make constructive sueees-
tons for betterment,

This, he said, would happen whether
the railroads were returned to pri-
