ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES
CoIIege-8red Flowers That Nestle in Ivy-Covered Wall of University
 of Washington.

They are college-bred roses and their high education seems to have had a very elevating effect on atheir aspira- tions. Students on the University of Washington campus recently noticed on an ivy-covered wall of Denny hall, way up on a level with the third floor windows, a spray of cOppery roses, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says. The branch which bears them reaches out from the heavy ivy Wines and is the only sign of a roseoush in the neigh borhOOd.
 Some curiosity was aroused as to whether the flower was grafted on the ivy or whether it was rooted, in the wall. Neither supposition was found to be correct. A number of years ago the rose blOssomed modestiy near the ground Then either the crowding of the ivy or the lofty ambitions inspired by the intellectual surroundings forced it to shoot up so that it could extend it's blossoms to the sun just outside of the windows used by the public-speaking and Spanish depart ments.
 Its long, branchless stem is covered by the ivy and it's top flourishes in the soft and musical sounds from the Spanish room and the forceful oratory from the public speakers.

Look at the Hat Cords.

A military man can immediately tell to what division a soldier belongs by glancing at the cord on his hat, but to the average citizen the color of the hat cord denotes little or nothing.
 It is an interesting feature to be fa- miliar with, especially now when so many soldiers are seen all over the country, and anyone who takes the trouble to learn the following list will be rewarded by being able to satisfy his own curiosity respecting any sol dier he happens to see without having to ask questions: A cord of light blue signifies that the wearer belongs to the infantry; red denotes artillery; !; yellow, cavalry; buff, quartermaster's corps; : orange and white, signal corps 1; red and white, engineers corps; red and black, ordnance; black and white, field clerk; maroon and white, medi- cal corps; black and gold, officers 1; silver and black, adjutant generals clerk; green, instructor home guards, ani green and white, home guards.

German General Staff.

The German general staff is not the creation of the kaiser. It is the ere a::Gn of the army, and in Germany the army is the nation. In the old G"NS. when the principality of Bran s'""hurg was becoming the state of Prussia. it was the elector who gov erned with unchecked, autocratic au- thority- Even when Brandenburg had become Prussia the kings of Prussia doIninated and owned the country as completely as the head of the house d"rlinated the family, or the manu- f"c+..rer owned his business. The cab is'ri of the great elector, the tobacco i''t!:ament of Frederick William, the potS'l;rm library of Frederick the G"*a7, these have merged into the of- tces of the general staff, in which is consecrated the surrender of the state to the army, and of the army to the army chiefs.

THE BEET SUGAR SITUATION

Some time ago it was hinted that one Of the beet sugar companies would pay SIP per ton for beets next season. Since that time the war in Europe has ended and the future price of sugar is uncertain. Last season, when the demand was very great, the growers received $10 a ton for their beets, price that was very profitable to them. The sugar companies can- not pay SIP for beets in time of peace and on a falling market for their pro- ducts. Representatives of these companies declare that they, will in cur risk of heavy loss if they are compelled to pay $10, which was the prevailing rate during the past .sea- son. The existing sugar. situation is complicated in many respects, and the industry in the intermountain country is confronted by number of difficult ties. The production of cane sugar has been largely increased as a re suit of the war, and that branch of the sugar industry is in better po- sitiOn than ever before. Labor is comparatively cheap in all such coun- tries, and the beet sugar men will be unable to compete with the cane pro- ducers in the markets of the world unless the price of beets comes down and labor can be had at a reasonable cost. Not so many years ago the beet growers received only $4.50 per ton for their crop. Contracts for the com ing season are to be signed in the near future, and beet growers and factories should cooperate in order that this growing western industry may hold it's own.

"NO SHADOW ON HER FACE"
Writer Tells of English Woman Who Has Given All She Had to
 the Country.

We English do not read our casu- alty lists any more. Many of us dare not. When we meet, we do not even speak of those who have gone away. very touching thing was told me by one of my neighbors. He was the last of twenty-four officers in one of the Gordon regiments. He said that the places were just filled up as soon as they were emptied, and they never spoke of those who had fallen. That brings the reality of the thing to you.
 In my own little country-Scotland you will find many, many villages from which the Highland regiments have been recruited. There are no boys left to come back. They are all dead.
 Not many weeks before I came to this country I was up in the Gordon country, and on a Sunday night was speaking in a church on the spiritual side of the war. At the close a wom- an came to me, little, simple, coun- try woman, dressed in the uniform of the Gordon Highlanders, holding a yellow missive, which I, alas, knew too well. ''The war office department re- gretS to inform - that - was killed in action.' She laid this little missive beside one of the DOT traits, and said, 'sThat came yesterday. That's Jimmie. He's the last of the three." q hear you are going to Amer ica. Will you tell American mothers have given all my lads? had only three and I would give six, if I had them, for the same cause" Another friend of mine has given all her five sons. She is widow and she has none left; but she is working in one of the canteens with no shadow on. her face.-Mrs. A. Burnett-Smith in the Atlantic Monthly.

News that the band of the former First Arizona Infantry now the 15Sth Infantry, has been recognized as the premier band of the American expe- ditionary forces is contained in a let ter recently received by member of the Republican staff from Lieut.. Geo. McNeil of the 10th Division head quarters detachment, o. M. C., 8 Phoenix boy, in France. Lieutenant McNeil, writing December 1 from Revigny, France, says:

For years he was engaged in the cattle business and then in farm ing and became in his latter years the largest individual land owner in the county, his ranch being located at Solomonville, where he lived with his family.

Thrift and economy, cham pioned by the womanhood of America, have won the strug- gle against greed and rapacity- Cannons and guns and men did their part on the field of battle but it was the savings of the men and women at home that put them there.
 Out of the four-years trag- edy has come the lesson of thrift. Not the niggardly hoarding of the miser. but the knowledge of the value of economy that produced the sage advice of Burns:
 Save money, not for to hide
 it in hedge,
 Nor for a train attendant; But for the glorious privilege Of being independent"
 Women have always been the savers in the home, from necessity, but 'the glorious privilege of being independ- ent," gained from the fulfill ment of a patriotic duty, has given them an incentive to economize and save for the sheer joy of saving.
 A far-seeing government has providedN us with a means of saving Thrift Stamps, War Savings Certificates, Liberty Bonds-which, apart from their use in winning the war; have proved to be one of the greatest moral and material blessings ever devised.
 There has been no letting down of effort by the women of the Eleventh Federal Re- serve District because the Fourth Liberty Loan was put over successfully and war was declared ended soon after. It has ever been the part of wo- man to do quietly, but effec- lively, those duties requiring persistent effort, with a thought only for the final re- suit. Patiently and steadily the officers of the Women's Liberty Loan Committees have been preparing the way for the next great demand, unchecked by the fact that bloodshed has ceased. ..-,.
 As chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee of the Eleventh Federal Reserve District, I ask every woman in the district to be true to the traditions of our sex. Through necessity we learned to save. We can now put to use the knowledge gained of independence through saving. We owe this duty to our chil- dren, our families, ourselves, md our country.
