WAR HISTORY BY WILSON.
Belief Here He Will Compile MOnu.
mental Work Upon Retirement.

Some of President Wilson'S per-
sonal friends go so far as to express
the belief that Americas president
has already planned upon his retire
ment from public Office to devote
himself to the work of compiling a
comprehensive history of the war.
1t goes without saying that book
publishers of both the United States
and Europe would be keenly alive to
the possibilities, Of such an undertake
ing by the president and to the fact
that no living author upon such a
subject could command a larger read
ing public.
This view presupposes that he will
not seek third term as president.
Political associates of the president
assert he is unyielding in his deter
mination not to run for public office
again. Upon his eventful retirement
from Office therefore President Will
son would find abundant opportunity
to prepare a historical compilation
such as some of his friends believe
he has already in mind orsthat the
sheer force of circumstances willleai
him to undertake, s.

Al Very Successful Mission.

The Mission. held at the Catholic
church in this city all last week
came to close Sunday night, with
a big audience present. 1t was con-
Quoted by Fathers Isadore and
Eugene, two Passionist Fathers, who
travel from one, parish to another all
over the country in holding these
missions. The sermons they preached
were some of the strongest and best
heard here in years. They illustrated
in a most vivid manner the right
and only road to travel to reach God
and eternal salvation. The good that
such missionaries perform live long
after they are gone and forgotten.
Their mission in life is to save the
souls of all who have not seen the
light in the right way, and their work
is bearing fruit wherever they ap-
pear.

SWEET CORN

Sweet corn is not adapted to grow
ing in the extremely small garden
because of the limited amount that
can be produced on a small area. 1t
Is found. however that most gard
eners insist upon growing sweet corn
even in a limited way.
For best results il should be planted
in a block in one corner OF the garden
rather than in single rows. For. hoe
cultivation the hill may be as close
as three feet apart in each direction
and three stalks may be grown III
each hill. Plant as soon as danger
OF lrCst is past.
Cover the seed 10 depth of about
one and one half inches and give fire.
ouent cultivation from the start or
until the cars have begun to form.
Golden Bantam is considered one CT
the best early varieties. Where there
is sufficient land available, a planting
of Country Gentleman and later
planting of Stowels Evergreen or

SMOKING TOBACCO
FACTS FROM the
ENCYCLOPAEDIA
The Use Of FIavorings Deter
mines Difference In Brands

The Encyclopedia Britannica SAYS
about the manufacture of smoking to-
bacco: Sc. on the Continent and in
America, certain sauces are employed
... the use of the sauces is to improve
the favour and burning qualities of the
leaves" Which indicates that a smokers
enjoyment depends as much upon the
f1avoring used as upon the tobacco.
Your nose is a sure guide in the mat
ter of f1avorings. Try this simple test
with several tobacco brands: pour some
tobacco into your palm, rub briskly,
and smell. You will notice a distinct
difference in the fragrance OF every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you will smoke best in your pipe, you
can rest assured.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

of feathers over his ears and on his

spelling that aristocratic livery In
which he had arrived.
Then came poor Purvis. They had
just begun to apply the tar and feath-
ers 10 him when Curtis had stopped
the process. He had only a shaking
ruff of long feathers around his neck.
They lifted the runaways into their
saddles. Purvis started Off Mt a gallop,
shouting "Come on, Bart" but they
stopped him.

shouted, and turning to me added:
"You ride along with me and let our
feathered friends follow US"
So we started up the road IN u
way back to Cobleskill. Our guide left
us at the town line some three miles
beyond.
Latour was busy picking his arms
and shoulders. Presently he took Off
his feathered coat and threw It away,
saying:
They'll have to pay for this. Every
n o. those jackrabbits will have to
settle with me-"

In h next week or so I satisfied my
