GERMANY DISS0LVES HOME GUARD UNITS
 0F HER OWN WILL
Plant to Prevent Dissolution Order Under the Peace
 Treaty.

With the American forces in Ger many, Aug. 26.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-The Wuert- temburg government recently reor- ganized all the so-called reserve sicherheits companies as home guards and the war ministry has turned them over to the minister of the interior, According to information III the hands of American army officers this is in accordance with Noske's plan to demlitarize all home guard units so that the allies will not dis solve these units under the terms of the peace treaty.
 Early this year many sicherheits companies were organized in Wuert- temburg from remanants of old army units and have since been transferred into the Reichswehr or new army. Later many reserve companies were organized on lines different from elsewhere in Germany but on the same principle as the home guards or einwohnerwehr.
 German soldiers who recent pro- tested from Mitau on the eastern front against failure of the Lettish HONcIHHCut GO pIONiuC CHCih ioiiu 4oi settlement, in accordance with vague promises of such land to all German soldiers who would help to repel the bolsheviki, have issued another state ment declaring that they have been "shamefully deceived and reserve the right to take such further steps as may be decided upon."
 Bitter feeling by the population against the new German army con- tinues in various parts of Germany, trouble having been reported from time to time in towns and villages where troops were to be garris0ned. In most instances the civilians object to the presence of the soldiers on the ground that they eat too much food.
 An armored locomotive which is part of the equipment of some refchs- wehr or new army units was sent from shop to shop in central Ger many recently because the workmen refused to repair it as they claimed

TEACHERS' SALARIES TOO LOW, BOND SAYS
 IN AN ADDRESS HERE
State Superintendent Is Speaker at County Institute
 Meeting.

State Superintendent of Schools T. L. Bond speaking at the Jeffer- sen county Teachers Institute yes terday deplored the small salaries paid teachers. He said scarcely a day passed, but that he received in his office a request from some school board to find teacher to re- place one who had resigned to ac- cept a position with more pay.
 Mr. Bond also discussed briefly the characteristics which should go to make a good teacher. To illus trate his lecture, he wrote about thirty characterists of human na- ture on the black board, and then by the teachers voting on each one, eliminated all excepting those ne- cessary to the making of good teacher. Christianity led the list.
 Other visitors were George w. Reid, state superintendent of h. ternational Church World, who spoke of the work in this organiza- tion, and Mir. Turner state supervi- sor for the Practical Writing and Drawing system, who told of the lecture which he will give today.
 The percentage of attendance at the institute is much higher than usual, according to report made yesterday by the secretary. This is due, it is said, to the unusually good program which is being arranged from day to day, and the interest which is being put into the pro- grams.
 Rev H. B. Trimble took for his subject of lecture yesterday morn- ing Morals as Taught in Art, Ma ture Study, and Science" Miss Mar garet Boyette and Miss Alma War rington next gave a demonstration of primary work. Miss Cummins followed with a discussion of the proper system of grading the stand ing of pupils.
 F. Garland May, whose resignation was announced yesterday, spoke to the teachers of his resignation. The institute took official cognizance of the resignation by the following re- solution:
 "We, as teachers of Jefferson county, regretfully approve MT. Mays action in resigning the posi- tion as county superintendent, and heartily indorse MT. w. P. Keith, his successor" The resolution was adopted unanimously.
 Miss Hattie Burford gave a read ing from Among the Hills." This ended the morning session. The afternoon session was taken up with lectures and demonstrations by Miss Starkey in primary work, and by Miss Kirtley in domestic science and art.
 The program for today is: Lecture, Rev. H. B. Trimble. Methods, Miss Cummins. "By-Products of Schools Life Prof. Asa Mccain.
 Penmanship, MT. Turner, state supervisor for Practical Writing and Drawing System. This latter lecture will be held at 11:50 o'clock, MT. May announced and all teachers are especially re- quested to attend this lecture, as the information it will contain is needed in all school work.

Divorce Record.

In the chancery court yesterday, Judge John M. Elliott granted the plea of Ollie Crew for divorce from Marybelle Crew on the ground of desertion.
 An order was entered in the di- vorce suit of Minnie Fitzpatrick vs. John Fitzpatrick, restraining defen- dant from disposing of any of his property, and ordering him to pay $10 to the clerk as suit money and $50 to Caldwell, Triplett and Ross, attorneys for plaintiff. Plaintiffs complaint charges that defendant has been cruel, and that some months ago he ordered her ct of the house, placing her personal be- longings outside the home. She re- fused to leave, she says, because "she wanted to live with him." but when he drove her from the house yesterday, she concluded, evidently, that "there was no use," and imme- diately entered suit for divorce.

WHERE BEDS ARE UNKNOWN
Residents of Merida, Yucatan, Enjoy Repose In Hammocks Which May
 Be SIuna Anywhere.

In Merida, Yucatan, the majority of the people do not use beds, in fact very few of them have even seen one. They sleep in hammocks, which are swung across the rooms at night and with no fuss of bedmaking; the per son just goes to bed and is gently rocked to sleep by any passing breeze. The climate is so hot that 1t is only during the months of January and February that a light sheet may be required as covering.
 . These hammocks are usually made by the mother of the family, writes Lilly deG. Osborn, in St. Nicholas, and consist of thread, more or less fine. woven together on great frames with a kind of shuttle or needle. Some of the designs are wonderfully intricate and the colors beautifully blended. I saw one very large one. made in the colors of the United States flag. which was to be sent up to the United States for a gift. It was certainly work of art, made of the very finest mercertzed thread; and yet the hammock could easily support a weight of 300 pounds.

gagged in the profoundest thinking of his life. No business plans which had ever absorbed him could compare in momentouSness with the plans that absorbed him now, for he had to plan how to enter the unknown country where he was not even sure of being recognized as an Amberson-not sure of anything, except that Isabel would help him if she could. The Major was occupied with the first really impor- tant matter that had taken his atten- tion since he came home invalided, af- ter the Gettysburg campaign, and went into business, and he realized that everything which had worried him or delighted him during this life time between then and today-alI his buying and building and trading and banking-that it all was trifling and waste beside what concerned him now.
 Meanwhile, the life of the little be- reft group still forlornly centering up- on him began to pick up again, as life will, and to emerge from it's own peri cd of dazedness. It was not Isabel's father but her son who was really daGed.

CHAPTER XIX.

"Let herS was correct; but the time came-and it came in the spring of the next year-when it was no longer a question of Georges letting his mother come home. He had to bring her. and to bring her quickly if she was to see her father again; and Am person had been right: her danger of never seeing him again lay not in the Majors feebleneSs of heart but in her own. AS it was George telegraphed his uncle to have a wheeled chair at the station, for the journey had been disastrous, and to this hybrid vehicle, placed close to the car platform, her son carried her in his arms when she arrived. She was unable to speak, but patted her brothers and Fanny's hands and looked "very sweet" Fanny found the desperate courage to tell her. She was lifted from the chair into a carriage, and seemed a little stronger as they drove home; for once she took her hand from Georges and waved it feebly toward the carriage window.
 Changed" she whispered. "So changed"
 You mean the town," Anderson said. You mean the old place is changed, don't you, dearE"
 She smiled and moved her lips: Yes"
 "It'll change to a happier place, old dear" he said, now that you're back in it, and going to get we'll again"
 But she only looked at him wist- fully, her eyes a little fatigued.
 When the carriage stopped her son carried her into the house and up the stairs to her own room, where nurse was waiting; and he came out a mo- ment later, as the doctor went in. At the end of the hall stricken group was clustered: Anderson and Fanny and the Major. George, deathly pale and speechless, took his grandfather's hand, but the old gentleman did not seem to notice his action.
 "When are they going to let me see my daughter?" he asked Querulously ''They told me to keep out of the way while they carried her in, because it might upset her. wish they'd let me go in and speak to my daughter. I think she wants to see me-"
 He was right-presently the doctor came out and becllOned to him, and the Major shuffied forward, leaning on a shaking cane; his figure, after all it's years of proud soldierliness, had grown stOopirg at last, and his un- trimmed white hair struggled over the back of his collar. He looked old old and divested of the WOrld-aS he

Joy in Conquest.

Life's master-key does for its pos sessor what is impossible to those who do not have it. No future is too for bidding for men of the right mental fiber to fear. Weddings falter and turn back. Men of talent turned to right channels delight in meeting what has brought failure to the many. It offers to them a chance to try the real ly hard things. They alone test the skill and prove the mettle. Such men bring wealth out of defeat, and re- ioice in the struggle. It's no won der they step forward and try what has brought failure to others. It's the mental sense of conquest that crowns effort with success and makes man king in the world. It's your right Exchange.

1t was the voice of tLe nurse speaking to Fanny Minafer, and the next mo- ment Fanny appeared in the doorway making contorted efforts to speak.
 Anderson said weakly: Does shc want us-to come in?"
 But Fanny found her voice, and ut tered a long. loud cry. She threw her arms about George, and sObbed in ah agony of loss and compassion:
 'She loved you:' she walled. "Sh.. loved you! She loved you! Oh, how she did love you!"
 Isabel had just left them.
 A ["
 Major Anderson remained dry-eyed through the time that followed; he knew that this separation from his daughter would be short; that the separation which had preceded it WAS the long one. He worked at his ledgers no more under his old gas drOp-light, but would sit all evening staring into the fire. in his bedroom, and not speaking unless someone ask ed him a question. He seemed almost unaware of what went on around him, and those who were with him thought him dazed by Isabels death. guessing that he was lost in "reminiscences and vague dreams. Probably his mind is full of pictures of his youth, or the Civil war, and the days when he and mother were young married people and all of us children were jolly little things-and the city was a small town with one cobbled street and the others just dirt roads with board sidewalks" This was George Amberson's conjec- ture, and the others agreed; but they were mistaken.

He was loud in praise of the house
 after Eugene arrived, and gave them
 no account of his journey until they
 had retired from the dinner table to Eugene's library, a gray and Shadowy room, where their coffee was brought Then, equipped with a cigar, which seemed to occupy his attention, Am person spoke in a casual tone of his sister and her son.
 II found Isabel as we'll as usual ' he said, "only I'm afraid as usual isn't particularly we'll. Sydney and Amelia had been up to Paris in the spring, but she hadn't seen them. Somebody told her they were there, 1t seems. They'd left Florence and were living in Rome; Amelia's become Catholic and is said to give great sums to charity and to go about with the gentry in consequence, but Syd- ney's ailing and lives in a wheel chair most of the time. It struck me Isabel ought to be doing the same thing"
 He paused, bestowing minute care upon the removal of the little band from his cigar; and as he seemed to have concluded his narrative Eugene spoke out of the shadow beyond a heavily shaded lamp: What do you mean by that?" he asked quietly.
 "Oh, she's cheerful enough" said Anderson, still not looking at either his young hostess or her father. At least" he said, "she manages to seem so. I'm afraid she hasn't been really we'll for several years. Of course she makes nothing of it, but it seemed rather serious to me when I noticed she had to stop and rest twice to get up one short flight of stairs in their two-foor apartment. I told her thought she ought to make George let her come home."
 "Let herY" Eugene repeated in a low voice. Does she want to?"
 "She doesn't urge 1t. George seems to like the life therein his grand, gloomy and peculiar way; and of course she'll never change about be- ing proud of him and all that-he's quite swell. But in spite of anything she said, rather than because, I know she sdoes indeed want to come. She'd like to be with father, of course; and think she's-well. she intimated one day that she feared it might even hap pen that she wouldn't get to see him again. At the time I thought she re- ferred to his age and feebleness, but on the boat coming home I remem- bered the little look of wistfulness, yet of resignation, with which she said it, and it struck me all at once that I'd been mistaken: saw she was really thinking of her own state of health"
 "I sec" Eugene said, his voice even lower than it had been before. And you say he won't let her come home?"
 Anderson laughed, but still contin- ued to be interested in his cigar. "Oh, I don't think he uses force! He's very gentle with her. doubt if the sub ject is mentioned between them, and yet-and yet, knowing my interesting nephew as you do, wouldn't you think that was about the way to put it?''
 Knowing him as I do-yes," said Eugene slowly. "Yes, I should think that was about the way to put it."
 A murmur out of the shadows be- yond nina faint sound, musical and feminine, yet expressive of a notable - seemed to indicate that Lucy was of the same opinion.
