MAN RESIGNS OFFICE
He Has Been a Deputy Sheriff for
Thirty.nine Years.

He Has Been a Deputy Sheriff for
Thirty.nine Years.
Henry Husk, pioneer resident of
Shabbona, ILL.,, has just resigned as
deputy sheriff, position that he has
filed since 1880.
The resignation was one Of the incl
dents Of his celebration Of the sixty
third anniversary of his wedding and
closed d continuous career Of public
service which began in 1850, when he
was appointed bailiff and collector Of
taxes.
He is eighty-four years old and as
vigorous as the average man Of fifty.
He prides himself, among other
things, on his record as a reader Of
the Chicago Daily Journal, for which
he has been a subscriber since 1870,
considering it fitting that the Oldest
inhabitant of Shabbona should be
reader of the oldest newspaper, not
only of Illinois but Of the Northwest.
Mr.. Husk arrived here in June, 1848,
four years after the Journal had been
established. At that time the Indian
chief, Shabbona, for whom the village
was named, and his tribe were in pos
session.
The chief aud Mr.. Husk were great
friends and many times smoked the
pipe Of peace together.

GOT WEARY OF "FLU" TALK
Visitor to indianapolis Very Much Fed
Up With Conversation Relating
to the Epidemic.

L. B Andrus of Grand Rapids,
Mich, chief Of the Merchants Heat
and Light company, is laboring un-
der the impression that some "Hoosier
fink" was trailing him Wednesday eve
ming.
While taking dinner at a hotel he
was surrounded by delegates to the
casket manufacturers convention.
After hearing them discuss their bust
ness, which discussion naturally had
many references to the influenza, cpl
demic, he concluded it was no place
for him.
AS the evening rolled on. he began
debating with himself the question
whether the epidemic was going to get
him, so he decided to take Turkish
bath. He had only been there a short
time when sick-looking individual
came in, and In conversation with
Mr.. Andrus said that he had only re-
Gently got over severe case of the
influenza. and he had been advised
that Turkish bath would get the poi
son out of his system and assist him
to recover more rapidly.
When he was talking with this man,
another man came in sneezing and
coughing and inquired of Mr.. Andrus
whether he thought a Turkish bath
would prevent a fellow from getting
bad case of the influenza.
BY this time Andrus said to the at
tendant: Get me out Of here as
quickly as possible. have given
about as much time as care to pre-
siding at the flu conference in In

OLD AND NEW BATTLE NAMES
Hard to 6estow Appropriate AppelIa-
tions Upon Conflicts Having
Wide. FrontG

There seems to have been little trou.
BILE In the past In naming battles. al.
though even Waterloo is called Quatre
Bras by the French. But on the whole
a name seems to have attached It.
self to battle quite naturally. like
Blenheim, Talavera. Jena. Leipzig, the
Nile and Trafalgar.
But in the great war. where bat
tie extended over weeks Of time over
a forty-mie front. including many VII
lagos. and sometimes several objec-
tives In the shape Of big towns, the
difficulty Of naming bate with a
name that is universally recognized is
extreme.
The names which have actually set.
tied down completely and taken their
places in history are the battle of the
Marine, the two battles of Ypres. the
battle of Verdun. the battle Of the
Blight, the battle Of Jutland. the bat
tie Of the Somme. and that seems al
mosts all.
The battles of the later phases Of
the war have hardly settled down to a
name yet. Probably the battle in
which the Vimy ridge was stormed
will be known as Arras; but the bat
tie Of Messines will probably be
sticker, just as the Chemin des Danes
will live in French annals for all
times.
Perhaps the great battle which at
the time seemed disastrous to British
arms. commencing on March 21. 1918,
will 60 down to history as the battle
Of Amiens, while the battle Of Cam
brai may stand for all that heroic re-
covery which brought the British to
their final victory.

.ere and Dhere
BY Mrs. Byrd Trego

1t occurs to me that we have not
quite finished the subject of amuse-
ments. Any way there is something
more wish to write about.
We have way of dividing or
blocking off different localities of
America into rather separate units,
speaking of certain institutions or
conditions or customs as belonging
to the Atlantic states, or the South,
or the Pacific states, or the Inter-
mountain country, the Northwest
states, the Middle West, the South
and so on.
In sports and amusements, we as
sociate boat races with New England
because of the annual ones between
Harvard and Yale universities. The
! Hudson river is veritable stream
of pleasure in winter with it's games
and races on the ice; the ice yachts
and boats darling over the frozen
surface by means of sails driven by
the wind being especially attractive
to the, visitor. Many skllful skating
/ festivals are also held. We were in
debted to Canada for the toboggan
slide several years ago. The south
used to hold tournaments that were
extremely interesting with young
men dressed in the costume of
ancient knights, riding thorobred
horses whose coats were polished and
groomed to nicely. The sport ran
this way. Out in the open, fair
ground perhaps, standard was
erected by a strong pole somewhat
higher than the riders head; from
this standard an arm was made to ex-
tend at convenient height for
horseman to reach easily; rings were
made ready at the extreme end of
this arm for the contestant to pierce
with long javelin or arrow that
was part of his equipment. The
riders were lined up some distance
in the rear and each in turn rode
down rapidly past the standard, aim
ing to capture a ring on his javelin.
The knight securing the greatest
number Of rings not only won the
game but chose the young lady who
was crowned queen of the ball that |
followed in the evening, the two
leading in Virginia reel.
To hurry on, we reach our own in
termountain section and find it's ira
ditional amusements to be the cow
boy races and, bucking contests and |
the Indian pony races.
Now | reach the message of this |
writing. Shall we dignity and per-
petuate these institutions, or shall |
we allow them to become lower in
grade and finally die? To me they
are full of strength, virility, action,
chance, recklessness, all of which be-
long to this country of our adoption
and birthright. These things go with
the lure of the west that has caught /
us all. Weare raising a generation
that will become the foundation of |
a native race of the west. How much
of the pioneer and his habits do we
wish transmitted to this new people
that will claim only the west as it's
nativity? think it over.

CODE BOOK PLANTED
TO FOOL GERMANS
British NAVAL Secrets" Fall Into
Hands Of Enemy at
J.. Zeebrugge.

Another good spy story has just
been revealed on Admiral Sir Reginald
Hall, chief OF the British naval spy
| system, who recently resigned. It is
the story Of the "code book blur" and
Is even better than the other anecdotes
concerning him.
1t was before the Zeebrugge opera
tons began that Admiral Hall gave
instructions for the printing Of a new
and elaborate code book. The book
was duly compiled. It was neatly
bound, and so that it should not look
too new was carefully thumbed in
many pages. OF course all the codes
In the book were wrong and very mis-
leading to any German who might get
hold Of 1t. But that is what the ad-
miral wanted.
When the Zeebrugge raid was settled
upon and the Vindictive went over
with the blockships this valuable"
code book was carefully placed in one
Of the blockships where 1t was likely
to be quickly discovered.
The day after the raid the book was
found by the Huns. No doubt they
were delighted with such an important
find and thought that our men had had
no time to remove it before the ships
bottom was blown out.
A few days later, having given the
Germans time to digest the code, q
carefully compiled message was
flashed across the channel and duly
picked up by the enemy. But it is
feared that it must have badly misled
them as to the intentions Of the British.

LIBRARY NOTES
Books Wanted

A call comes from the library this

another copy will be very acceptable.
Also while we are asking for books
we again make a request for the
December, 1918 Everybody's, to add
to library file.
Books Presented
Ross Robinson gave some good
books to the library the past week.
They are the type of books that are
always enjoyed by the boys and were
much appreciated.

GIRLS TRAPPED DOGS
BY This Means They Earned $50 for
the Red Cross.

BY This Means They Earned $50 for
the Red Cross.
Two Victory girls, seven and ten
years old, residing at Manzanola, in
Otero county, Colorado, earned $50 for
the Red Cross by trapping prairie dogs
and making soap of their fats. Mrs.
John Howbert, chairman of the home
conservation committee Of the food
administration in Otero county, was in
Denver and told of the success Of the
Victory girls in helping the Red Cross
by this method.

other girls and boys in various parts
of Colorado in this unique line Of

Wonder What Poe Got for Il.

Quite while ago an author, Edgar
Allan Poe, contributed a story to Ora
hams Library Of Fiction, No. I. But
1t hardly occurred to him that some
day a collector would pick up an old
copy Of that periodical for rs cents
and presently sell it to somebody else
for $1,000 Probably it is just as we'll
that it did not, for the knowledge
might have disconnected him with his
own modest emolument for writing
classic.

Unreliable SIGNATURES.

General Pershing recently gave or.
ders that the typewriter signature is
required hereafter on all official orders
and Endorsements by American mill
tary men in France because of the fact
so many officers write their names $50
blindly that 1t is difficult to make them
out" General Pershing purposes to
waste no time in deciphering written
signatures.

The Lives Of q Cat.

A mother had two sons, one in
France, the other attending a univer-
sity near home. The son in France
was wounded and naturally the moth

being Of an excitable nature, tele-
phoned her other son: "John, come
home at once. Ted is at TIE front
being killed every minute"

District May Bond
Itself for Electric Plan,

BOISE, 1dah6,-The hand of 10,
| Burns, the Non-partisan league cleo
tricity expert, as he styles himself
| was revealed in proposed Idaho leg
islation during the past week 1t wa,
uncovered in bill providing thai
any district might bond itself to pu,
in electric pumping plants for irri
cation purposes and to sell proven
1t was regarded by a number of the
members of the legislature as strange
that any new law were needed on
this subject, as the present irriga.
tion district law gives full power
and authority for the identical thing
desired in the new proposed law.
Going Into Back Door
Light was thrown on the subject,
however, when it was learned that
the whole plan was to arrange for
Joe Burns to sell his power site on
the Portneuf river, near Pocatello.
He tried to palm it off on the city
of Pocatello, but the people there re-
jected the offer. Then he devised
schem to enlarge the territory and
to include couple of towns outside
Pocatello and utilize their credit
with bonding facilities. Burns had
a representative here named Hender-
son and was flanked by McKaig and
other Non-partisan leaders.
A number of legislators had been
misled by the smooth representa-
tions, but when they saw the coon in
the woodpile they opposed the
measure because of the transparent
purpose to unload poor project onto
the public.
Put All ON Same Plane
The sonsors of the bill fought an
amendment that placed the proposed
project as to rates, interest charges,
ETC., under the public utilities in so
far as the sale Of power outside the
district is concerned, but the weak
ness of their position became so ap-
parent to them that they finally con-
sented to it. In that form there is
really no objection to the bill and
its passage was forcasted unless it
became jack-potted in the ruch of the
closing hours of the session.
Those who urged suitable regula-
tons for the enterprise for the pro-
lection of the public made the point
that such schemes, if unbridled,
made it possible for promoters to I'M
load thru bond issues and for their
allies to operate irrespective of earn
ings. For example, it was pointed
out that earnings need not be con-
sidered, and had not been with rela-
ton to similar schemes of get-rich-
quick finance, so long as the opera
tors could cover up, without public
inspection and mulct the public on
other ways, such as taxation, ire
spective of the charge for service.
Farmers Oppose 1t
A number of farmers in the legis-
lature opposed the bill, notwith-
standing the amendments agreed to.
They declare they have been the OBJ
jects of the financial schemes of poll
teal schemers, such as the Non
partisan league leaders in this state,
most of whom do not pay a cent of
taxation, that they are materially
opposed to any proposals emanating
from them that contemplatees that
The public shall be the financial goat.
