HIS WORD OF REAL WORTH
World Would Ds BsttsrR There Were
Mors Like This Omaha busl.
ness Man.

An Omaha Newspaper man has a
motor car remarks the World Herald
of that city. Last spring he had 1t
painted. Not long ago the surface be-
gan to develop an amazing series OF
cracks like the "crow's feet" about an
old mans eyes. The man greeted the
cracks with amazement rapidly becom-
ing disgust. Every time he looked at
the car he lost his appetite and his
good temper.
The other day the car was taken to
the paint shop. Its owner was fully
prepared to hear that he had used the
wrong kind of polish. that he had let
the car stand out In the sun. that any
thing and everything had spoiled the
paint except that the paint itself
was at fault.
The painter looked the car over.
"If youll bring It In, I'll do It over"
he said. 1.-The varnish must have been
bad"
1t was all over In two minutes. The
mans faith In human nature Jumped
several hundred per cent. The sky
was clear; the whole world was set In
rosy hue.
Here was a man who didn't dodge
responsibility, who tried no excuse.
who backed his work with his word
and made good his word.
Isn't 1t pretty good policy7

PUSH YOURSELF ALONG

Some people sit through life wait
ing for others to push them along.
If they were showed aside in the
scramble thy are peeved. Their
talents have not been properly rec.
ognized.
If they are forgotten in the hurly-
burly they become crouch.
The world is topsy- -turvy.
And so they drift along from one
year to another, peeving, growing,
grouching through life TO the dole
ful tune of their own shiftless in
competency.
It's no mistake-the wrong pers-
pective of existence.
Life is too shor. to worry about
the fellow who lags behind.
The man who won't push must ex-
pect to be showed.
Pushing is II great game. 1t gets
You somewhere. The harder you
push the farther you go. and il Won
push hard enough and often enough
and long enough You can reasonably
expect TO push yourself to the top.
Keep pushing. Young man.
Push with a will and purpose
and with u definite goal in view.
Set Your aims so high that il makes
you dizzy even TO dream of them
and remember that only pushing will
get you there.
You may not reach the pinnacle
of your desires. but YOU will climb
to heights which will stamp you u
man of men.
The pnsher is man of parts.
The laggard is but part of man.

English Women Buying Farms.

Women in England are buying their
own farms or their own truck and gar
den spaces In rather conspicuous num-
bers. And this is all an outcome Of
the tremendous work done by women
on the land during the war. The gen.
eral feeling Is that there will not be
much room for the common female
farm laborer as time advances, but for
the woman who has little money and
who looks upon farming as her pro-
fession and her life work there Is ex-
cellent opportunity In this direction.
In the first place. on account Of the
compact location Of the garden spaces
and the cities In England transporta-
tlon OF foodstuffs Is easy. Then gar
den truck and flowers do grow abun.

GOLD IN GRIP OF NEPTUNE

Treasure ships May Be Brought
to the Surface.

Somewhere In tho sea OF the coast
OF Zululand lies the ship Dorothea,
which went down on Tenedos reef.
carrying with her, so some people be-
lieve, part Of the fortune of Dom Paul
Kruger, once president of the Trans
vnal. and rumor has 1t that plans are
afoot to at out British expedition
In the hope Of salvaging her. The
war has improved methods of salvag-
Ing sunken ships, and, II the Dorothea
really carried It, the gold cemented
into the hold Of the vessel has been
estimated at over $3,0OO.000. Before
the war a syndicate was organized to
attempt recovery Of the vessel, and
unsuccessful efforts were made to To-
cate her; now the project is again pos
sible-perhaps all the more so, because
time has accumulated 80 many treas
ure ships which are again under dis
cussion. A list recently published In.
cludes: The Gr0svenor, lost on the
Pendoland coast, with $S,750.OO0 the
Arlston, in Marcus bay, with $4,000
600; the Birkenhead, on Birkenhead
reef, with $s,9O0,OO0; the Dorothea, on
Teneios reef, with $3,2JO,OOO; the
Abercrombie, with 100000; the Mere
stein. with 100000. and the Thunder
bolt, with $2,750,00O. II a sunken
treasure enterprise falls OF one treas
ure ship. perhaps 1t can find another.
So far, however, the sen has proved a
miser with the gold It has acquired; |;
may the modern improvements in sal.
vaging equipment change the habit.

HUNS PLANNED
INVASION OF THE
BRITISH ISLES

Correspondent Associated Press)
London, Jan. 9.-Secrets Of the war
work of the British Secret Service
now revealed show that German spies
o. agents of the German government
were making active preparations, even
before the beginning of hostilities, to
use the Isle Of Wight as landing
place for German forces and for the
Commandment of Portsmouth. One of
the first precautions taken in August,
1914 was to place close restrictions
on persons trying to land upon or
leave the island From Harwich to
Hampshire, along the south and
southeast coasts of England, nests of
German spies and agents were en-
gagged in desperate missions, in the
early days of the war. One of the
Urgent tasks of the British Secret
Service was to stamp out the opera
tions of these men.
For long time the authorities
were unable to discover the origin Of
Morse signals that were. being flashed
out to German submarines from the
seafront at Pevensey. Special watch
was kept on certain cottage and,
although no lights were shown, the
patient observers finally solved the
mystery They learned that after
dusk several persons near an upper
window manipulated what appeared
to be the dial of an ordinary clock.
a raid on the COTTAGE disclosed that
the clock dial was fitted with dark
prism. By focusing the prism on the
strong headlight of fishing smack
anchored off shore it was possible to
send forth the signal flashes. These
flashes were not visible to a person
standing on the beach, but out in the
channel they could be read easily.
Between the coast and Tunbridge
Wells, which was the headquarters of
British army corps, a band of gyp-
sizes made the rounds of villages un-
disturbed until am officer made the
significant discovery that none of
them could converse in Romany, the
gypsy tongue. Investigation by Sc
cgat Service men proved conclusively
that the masQueraders while pretend
ing to trade with the country folk
and tell fortunes secured important
information as to the movements of
troops in the Southern command.
Prompt and drastic action followed
these revelations.
At the beginning Of the war nu-
merous instances came to light Of
aliens attempting to enlist under
false prctenses. Many spies were
captured among them.

BRITISH WILL

Correspondence Associated Press)
London, Jan. 8.-England's welcome

which soviet Russia receives the hun
dreds of thousands of emaciated, for
lorn soldiers of the Russian army who
are struggling back into their ruined
homeland, which is practically food
less and fuelless, snowbound and in

provide them with warm drinks and
food and express the gratitude of the
nation for their self sacrifice to the
entente cause. Bands play the ia
miliar airs of the homeland as the
victim of German prison hardships
again set their feet on British soil.
Flags line the streets and grateful
citizens cheer the returning heroes.
But it's q far different picture in
disorganized Russia. Dispatches from
the Russo-German boundary announce
that thousands of the consumptive and
disabled Russians released by the Ger
