Farmers are to pay in addition freight to their shipping points. Applications for part of the nitrate bought by the government will te received only from actual farmers or owners or holders of farms for use on their land, and may be made through it's county agent, or through any member of the board of directors of the farm bureau. which consist of the following: Andover.

Worlds Greatest Soldier

Physically. FOch Is little man, his inches are about those of Napoleon, and he has Grants fondness for the cigar. Like Joffre, sOutherner, he has frankness of speech which his old commander has never displayed. Un- like Petain his words are rarely caus- tic and he has made friends among all his allies.

MAY MEAN MUCH TO WORLD
Aviators Believe That Flying ls Bound to Have Great Influence on the
 Minds of Men.

Flying, in the opinion of British aviators, is going to change the char acter of the worlds thought It will : have broadening influence and it will bring a fresher, cleaner flow of ideas into the brains of men. man, the flyers argue, who has seen before him at the same time the cliffs of England, the long flat fields of Holland and the smiling countryside of Belgium and France is bound to think in different way than man whose horizon has always been bound eG by bricks and mortar or even by hill and dale.
 Travelling may have made him think nationally, but flying will make him think far more largely. He will see England and France lying close to each other, separated only by a shin ing strip of water. He will see the green and brown mosaic of Belgium, which in it's turn mergeS into the dis tant shadow of Holland, while, still farther on, across the wide Scheldt he will see the distant lowlands sweep on over the rim of the world.
 How will he regard petty spites be- tween individuals and cliques then? the birdman asks. He can cover with his thumb from the heights fever ish city swarming with a million peO- pie. What will he think of those who live next to each other and will not speak? How mean and petty their quarrels and jealousies and hates will seem.
 The true meaning of human inter- course and friendship will come home to him. He will gain an almost divine outlook upon the world. Dishonesty, civil strife, all will seem to him cOntemptible. Perhaps, say the avia- tors, this is the new view which will bring the millennium.

Aerial Compasses.

Many difficulties had to be over- come in the production of a satisfac- tory compass for aerial work. Chief among these was that of neutralizing the magnetism of the engine (and in particular the magneto), and of pre- venting the effect of centrifugal force, which caused the card or dial inside the compass to swing in direction quite independent of north when the airplane was banking on turn. How ever, a truly excellent compass is now in use,

Sing SInu Jail Short of Labor,

The labor shortage has hit even Sing Sing. which has q stationary sup ply of 1900 men. The officials are puzzled because they are unwilling to employ women. Although Warden Mover has an allowance for a maid, he never has hired one. The only woman ever employed within the pris- on walls, telephone operator, left after few days, saying that there were too many men.

DELIGHTED IN HIS FREEDOM
Youngsters Chief Enjoyment of Va cation Came From His Defiance of All Conventionalitles.

The best sort of vacation and the only kind that really is a benefit to the one taking 1t. according to Lewis WeiScnherger. is the one on which all conventional rules of conduct are broken. To enjoy |; vacation one must do absolutely as he pleases, MT. Wei Senherger continues.
 In proof of this contention Mir. Wei Senbcrger tells the following story on a young lad with whom he hibernated in the wits of Michigan for several weeks this summer
 The campers had taken large SUD- ply of towels with them, as bathing was expected to feature the holiday events. On arrival at camp each mem- Der of the vacation. party received his apportiOnment of the towels and the lad was duly included in the division. On the second day of the vacation week MT. Weisenberger was surprised to find the young lads supply of towels packed securely away in one corner of the cottage, thus far un- touched. He immediately summoned the lad and inquired whose towels
 he had been using, since his own sup ply was undiminished. He was not a
 little taken back by the lads reply ::
 ''.Aw, I didn't wash my face yester
 day"
 Even with face unwashed and tow els untouched, the young barbarian
 probably enjoyed the vacation trip
 more than did any other member of
 the party. Mir. Weisenberger says
 And the reason for the lads enjoy
 ment. he believes, is the fact that he
 violated all rules of personal etiquette
 and lived one entire day with his face
 innocent of ablutions.

Practical Jimmy

My little cousin went away with hi. mother to visit his aunt in the country. His mother went in fear and trembling at the thought of how he would mis- behave. But to her surprise he was angelic during the whole visit-always did as he was told and never miSbe- h8ved. AS soon as he entered his own home, however, he was his natural self again.
 "Why, Jimmy" she said, you were so good while you were away, why do you start acting badly nOW?"

Tn fife 1t is as it is in armies; there is Il share of hardness for each one. Each man shall bear his own bur den" This is part of the discipline of life and it only makes confusion when any refuse to take their share. IL is the wide distribution of the burden of society upon many different shoulders that makes the worlds work go for ward even as smoothly as it does. One man who will not take his share of hardness is an enemy of all willing workers.

LEE,s lost OPPORTUNITY.

A big railroad strike is threatened, to begin
| in The near future, SO we are told Possible ty-
ing up OF the railroad systems of this country
/ has been a matter considered by the national
leaders Of the four great brotherhoods IN secret
session at Cleveland. 1t is stated that the
reason why the national officers hesitate to
make an announcement of the strike or to be
placed in the position of directing the proposed
strike call is their fear of strike injunctlons.
The main demand of the railwaymen Is that
Of a general increase, independent OF all over
time questions, IN the rate OF pay 1or nreineh,
enginemen and trainmen.
Threat of a railroadmens strike supplies IN
the person OF William G. Lee president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, an example
of supreme supineness, moral and mental inert
ness and lack of stamina that is surprising IN
man that has risen to leadership in great or
canization. and one wonders how he attained
the height whereon he stands. Evidently his
mount was not assisted by trait of positive ac-
ton if one may judge from remarks he made
latter the meeting of the brotherhood leaders at
Cleveland Lee issued a statement In which he
said, referring to message from Kansas City
saying that trainmen and yardmen there had
decided to strike unless favorable reply to
their request for increase pay IS granted:
1
think they are bigger than the United States gov
eminent, which is operating the railroads at pres
ent advice to give them.
II have no advice to give them it
they think they are bigger than the United
states!o So says President Lee. Mr.. Lee might
well reverse his position. AT the point reached
by the Kansas City railwaymen, advice-sen-
sible, sound, patriotic, considerable would be,
50 it seems to the thinking part of the commun-
ity, just what should be forthcoming from a
leader of foresight, that foresight being urged
into acute activity following the decision OF
United States Judge Anderson in the coal strike
contempt proceedings. The president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen has made a
sorry exhibition of inanity. He has not risen to
the opportunity offered for showing OF law
abiding common-sense that one would expect
from brainy man facing national problem.

The American Legion makes logical dis
tincton in declaring itself interested in political
affairs, but not in politics. 1t is hard to see
how an organization devoted to the broad prin-
cples of loyalty to Americanism which makes
up the platform Of the Legion could divorce it's
interests from the nation in its political aspect.
The important thing is that the Legion should
keep itself out of partisan politics and clean
from the srnirch of lending itself to class, sect
or party for self-interest. There is now, and
always will be, need to keep the nation as above
party and partisanship before the people. Here
is the proper work for the Legion.

DEMONSTRATING DEPORTATION

The house committee on immigration has
asked power from congress to investigate, by
holding hearings at New York City, Chicago
and on the Mexican border, the process OF the
deportation machinery of the government.
There is ample reason to believe such investlga-
ton useful and timely. Certainly the public has
little or no knowledge of what the mechanics
Of deportation is or how its works, except that
the public is forced to the belief that it works
slowly and with considerable friction.
We have little experience in deportation; we
have neglected to see the need of it until now we
are in imminent need of it. Attorney General
Palmer insists that congress is slow In giving
his department the means it needs to handle the
present situation. Members of congress con-
tinue to assert that the power already authoriz-
ed is ample but there is evident confusion IN
mind over what is war legislation and what is
permanent law of the land, applicable irrespec-
tive of the formal ending of the war By so
much as this confusion delays and makes IN
definite the action of our courts, Mr.. Palmer IS
plea deserves attention Meanwhile it will be
In the public interest to ascertain just what our
deportation laws and processes permit and what
the officials administering them are doing.
