CLEARING MINES
PERILOUS WORK
FOR YANK BOATS

EOnd0n.-Eighty United States navy
mine sweepers are busy in the North
sea at a job almost as dangerous and.
from the viewpoint of shipping, quite
as important, as hunting submarines.
They are clearing away the largest
mine barrage in the world. This bar
rage, nearly so per cent American
made and American-laid mines, is
about 200 miles long and 45 miles
wide. 1t closes the North sea from
Scotland to Norway.
The task has already resulted in
a casualty toll of four vessels dam
aged, one officer killed and others
wounded. The q. S. S. Bobolink, the
drst victim, had her stern blown in
by an exploding mine. Lieutenant
Bruce was killed. Several other Off
GERS and men, knocked overheard, were
rescued. The q. S. S. Patuxent was
BADLY damaged about the stern and the
J.. S. S. Rail slightly damaged. All
were of about 1000 tons. The fourth
was a smaller boat
val chief of staff in England, said the
Americans are getting "hep" to the
undertaking and overcoming many of
its difficulties.
Thus far the fleet has covered an
area containing 1000 mines. OF these
IS per cent have been accounted for.
Where the remaining 65 per cent are
nobody knows. Captain Sexton esti-
mated the mine hunt would keep the
sweepers busy until October or No
vember. 1t involves personnel of
about $500.
When the word was first mouthed
around through the ranks that Ameri-
can gobs were going to rsck up the
mines they helped to lay short time
before, the general opinion was that
1t would be one of the most thrilling
jobs yet And no one has been disap-
pointed Equipped with maps show
ing approximately where every mine
was dropped, the iOtilla started out
in twos, each pair dragging cable be-
tween them
Mines SoWn In Strings.
The mines, the map said, were sewn
in strings. All the sweepers had to
10 was to straddle the line, pass from
one end TO the other, and the cable,
between them, would do the rest.
OF course, the particular mine in
question wouldn't be the only one to go
off. The conclusion would always set
)ff others Immediately adjoining, and
probably still others adjoining these.
These two exigencies were provided
for on the map under the titles zone
If extreme danger" "zone of possible
danger" and beyond that "zone of
safety" In addition, there would be
few other mines free-lancing around in
all three zones.
The first few days were rather dis
4strous. Captain Sexton and his staff
in London began to dread opening the
mornings dispatches. Gradually, with
Yankee resoureefulness, the Americans
seemed to be getting on top of the
lob, until now Captain Sexton is con-
ddent they are going to clean up the
assignment with minimum losses.

Old European Families.

The oldest family of Great Britain
is said to be the Mar family in Scot
land, which can trace its pedigree to
the year 1893. Then, too, there are
the CampbellS of Argyll, whose origin
dates back to 1890 The Grosvenor
family, that of the duke of Westmin-
ster, refers its origin to the same year
that the Conqueror "came over
1866. The Austrian house of Hapsburg
goes back farther than that, it's date
being 952, while the BOurbons of
France proudly mention S64, as the
date of their origin.

Most of US eat three times a day

most reliable one because you can

Instead OF depriving yourself ot

ings sales for the Seventh federal
reserve district, said:
81 have received numerous com
plants and many specific instances
have been brought to my attention
where brokers and dealers in war
savings stamps have purchased the
stamps at considerably less than
their current value and have then
resold the stamps at a trifie under
the government price.
This is an unfortunate condi-
ton that l hope will be speedily
met. 1t is particularly unfortunate
in that the people are misled to the
belief that they cannot get their
money back from the government
and in cases OF necessity turn to
the brokers' and make a consider
able financial sacrifice
The truth of the matter is that
any owner of war savings stamps,
when occasion arises may obtain
the cash from any pOstoftce in the
United States by simply giving 10
days notice to the postmaster. Not
only will the government refund
every cent that has been paid, but
will pay interest in addition at the
rate of 8 per cent for the full time
that the government has been in
possession OF the claimants
money.
This practice of scalping gov
eminent securities cannot be too
strongly condemned and I urge all
who are the owners OF war savings
stamps. and who for some partic-
ular reason feel that they must
convert them into cash, to take
them to the nearest money-order
postoffice.
Il want. also, to urge. however,
that unless absolutely impossible,
all should retain their war savings
stamps until maturity. Not only
is this the patriotic duty OF every
but it Will prove highly
profitable to the individual as
we'll"

mot FAR APART"
London Times Says Wilson and
Clemenceau Differ Little.
France Only Wants Guarantee
That Invasion Is Impossible.

London, Jan. accompanying the
speech of Premier Clemenceau before
the French deputies and President
Wilson's address at Manchester the
Times argues there is no fundamental
discrepancy between the aims of the
two men. The newspaper says:
difference-contrast we may call it
between the positions of France and
America is simple truth. France sees
and feels what German invasion
means and demanded absolute secur-
ity against a recurrence of the danger
she SO narrowly escaped and the suf-
ferings she yet endures.
Mr.. Wilson is equally determined
to deliver her from those evils. Where
NJ. Clemenceau appears most marked
ly to differ from Mr.. Wilson is in his
confession of certain skepticism as
to the adequacy of any means except
one to secure the just claims CT
Francer.
There is no incompatibility between
Mr.. Wilson'S ideal and the more
prosaic immediate object which M.
Clemenceau sets before France; one is
a necessary stage toAthe attainment of
the other. A supreme fact is that
both admittedly desire the same i'm
mediate steps and both-albeit one
with confidence and the other with
hesitation-look forward to the same
ultimate goal. 1t is a promising fea-
ture of the attitudes of the two states
men that neither affects to entertain

HEMP A KANSAS CROP
Experiment. Proves 1t Is as Profitable
as Wheat Raising.

Concordia, Kan, Jan. Am expert
ment in the growing of hemp on the
low lands of the Republican river in
this county has just been proven re-
markedly successful. This years crop
of hemp grown by Ed Collins on forty
acres of such ground near this city.
has been marketed and the net yield
was $4,000. This profit on hemp beats
the profit usually made on wheat in
this county, under the most favorable
conditions.
This hemp crop, with others, was
put out as an experiment under the
direction and encouragement of the
International Harvester company,
which furnished the seed for all farm
ers desiring to undertake the expert
ment. In view of the success of Mr..
Collins. many acres will be planted
this coming spring, and plans are now
being completed for the housing of
machinery, such as dryers, breakers
and balers. to take care of next years
crop properly.
