Tuesday night and when in the shade
of the trees on the south side of J..
J. Keraus's residence, some person on
the inside of the fence, evidently IN
tent on a ho1d-up, struck at w r.
Holmes with a club with the inten-
ton of dealing him blow en- the
head. Fortunately he was little out
of range and the aim was poor, but
he received s1anting blow on the
right fore arm. When examing the
place the next morning broken
picket from the fence was found. Why
any one should assault him Mr..
Holmes does not know unless it would
be for robbery and Dad thinks they
spototed the wrong fellow for such
work as that.
Alvarez Lacerte and Geo. Kess1er
had quite an auto accident Sunday
night. AS they were coming back

cars locked horns. Alvarez and George

both men in the other car were very

STEEL DRUM REMOVES BARK
Labor-SaVing Device. That Does the
Work of Many Men, and Does 1t
Rapidly and Well.

A new labor-saving device employed
by a pulp manufacturer is a big re-
volving drum in which a number of
logs are placed and tumbled about un-
til all the bark has been removed, pre-
paratory to grinding them up for pulp.
This method of handling, says Elec-
trical Experimental, does away with
the task of removing the bark with
knives. The drum is 80 feet long and
about 10 feet in diameter, and is COM
posed of angle-iron strips fastened in
side metal hoops. one edge of each
strip projecting inward and throwing
the logs about. Not only does the
drum dispense with the labor of sew
eral men, but it saves a considerable
amount of wood which is wasted by re-
moving the bark in the old way. The
labor involved in handling the logs is
further reduced by using conveyor
which brings them to the drum aud
carries them away.

WOLF HUNT WAS POSTPONED
After RooseveIt's Little Dissertation
as to the Easiest Way to
Avoid Trouble.

One time when on western tour
the ranchmen whom he was visiting
wanted to entertain Theodore Roose-
welt in the way that best pleased him
and he suggested a ride. The host
and other guests agreed and proposed
a wolf hunt as an addendum.
I'D like nothing better" said Roose-
welt, but it's Sunday"
Nobody viii know" said one of
the newspaper men in the party. We
won't say anything about it,"
my dear fellows said the colonel,
'there are two ways Of keeping out
of trouble. One is to do nothing that
could by any possibility make trou,
BILE for you. The other is to conceal
the things you have done which might
make trouble. The first way is the
simpler. If you act by it you nevel
even want to tell lie."
And there was no wolf hunt tina
day.

for the crimes committed on sea and
land. She must pay for the lives and
the ships lost at sea, and she must pay
for the terrible destruction of'lives and
property she caused on land.
But how shall Germany pay? She
has not the money now with which to
replace the ships or rebuild the French
and Belgian cities and towns or re-
place the machinery and other valu-
able property she has stolen.
But Germany has ships and prop
erty and labor, and with these she
can pay a part. Germany's ships
should be given to the neutral nations
to replace those the German U-boats
destroyed. Germany should be forced
to recompense these nations ton for
ton so far as her merchant marine will
accomplish that. Germany's ship yards
and German labor should be forced to
build more ships with which to replace
the merchant vessels of both neutral
and allied nations sunk by German
submarines.
German labor should be put to work

tinue to call her youth to the colors,
but instead of having guns put in
their hands let them be put behind the
pillow in Belgium and France that they
may remove the unexploded shells with

without the constructive labor of mil

| The German people have stolen from

able property they found In the invad-
cd districts. Much of the stolen ma
chinery is running today in German
factories, and with it the German peO-
pie are earning livelihood while the
people of Belgium and northern France
are idle because of a lack Of oppor-

pared to reap a trade harvest as soon
as they are again allowed to enter the
field Of world trade because they have

by the French and Belgian employers
who have been put out of business by
the depredations Of Germany.
The immediate return of this stoler
machinery and other property should
