New Workers awoke one morning to
find in their breakfast headlines the
news that Jealous park employee had
discovered signs of disintegratiOn on
the surface of the citys most treasured
antique-Cleopatra Needle. Photo
graphs revealed that the monolith was
peeiing, large pieces of sandstone hRV-
ing fallen from the tall shaft, carrying
with them part of the priced hero

London's twin sister of CleOpatra's
Needle was reported as resting COM
fOrtably and enduringly on the banks
of the Thames, and the rival port won

found to stay the attacks Of their

Such a preparation was soon forth
coming. A new paint combination as

WOMEN ORGANIZED ON

. LINES IN CAMPAIGN
State Limitations of Previous Loan
Work Give Way to
N:W Plan.

At recent conference of the Fed
eral Reserve Governors and the Lib
erty Loan committee of the several
Federal Reserve districts, and the
members Of the National Womans
Liberty Loan committee, discussion
was had on the abyisability Of the
change from state to Federal Reserve
district lines,
Since the entrance Of the women
into the Liberty Loan work, which
took place in the second Liberty Loan,
the unit Of organization had been the
state. The state chairman had juris-
diction over the entire state, but re-
porting to two Federal Reserve chair
man, whore the state was divided. In
some cases the state chairman had a
vice-chairman to supervise the work
of a portion OF the state in another
Federal Reserve district.
In the Victory Liberty Loan the
Federal Reserve district will be the
unit, and chairmen have heen appoint
ed for that part Of each state in the
Eighth Federal Reserve district to
conduct the campaign in that part of
the state in this district only.
Several changes have taken place
in the personnel of the Woman's Lib
erty Loan committee in this district
owing to this change in the form Of
Organization. Mrs. Theodore Benoist,
who was state chairman of Missouri,
succeeded Miss Florence J. Wade, who
resigned as federal chairman; Mrs.
NV. H. Donovan, who was vice-chair-
imam of Missouri, was appointed state
chairman of Missouri; Mrs. c. H.
BroHgh will again direct the work il
Arkansas; Mrs. Fred w. Lauenstein
will take that portion of Indiana in the
Eighth district This will not make
ANY great change in Indiana, as Mrs.
lLauenstein has directed the work in
THAT portion Of Indiana in the Eighth
Idistrict for the past two campaigns,
although reporting to the state chair
man, Mrs. McCulloch.
Mrs. Wilson, who formerly had the
entire state Of Illinois, was appointed
for the Chicago district, and Mrs VIM.
H. Hart, who was a speaker and or.
.ganizer in previous loans, was appoint
ed state chairman Of Illinois in this
district. Mrs Donald Mcdonald has
again accepted the work in Kentucky,

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation Of structural ma
terials, which may be obtained through
the application of paint, constitutes a
most vital means of furthering the con-
servation of our natural resources. It
is, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep of any commu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets of In
dia rubber would not be as we'll protect
ed from decay as a structure coated
with a good oil paint. This is due to
the fact that a sheet of rubber is not
SO durable or as waterproof as a thin
dried film of paint. The latter mate
rial when applied dries to a continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles Of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. a square foot of such q
Chm upon a wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet it will beautify and
protect a dollars worth of surface for
many years This is low rate of in
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds,
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons,
implements, windmills and other struc-
lures, whether of wood, iron or cement,
should be preserved, through the use
of paint, from rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes. ColOred paints will be
found the most seviceable, the coloring
matter in the paint adding from two
10 three years to the life of the coating.

THE JOY or SAVING.

Don't save for a ''rainy day"
Save so that there won't be any
rainy days.
That isn't the forward-looking, EN-.

That is the philosophy Of optimism,
the kind of thinking that is going to
make you happy and make your old
sage period Of fullest enjoyment.
There is a lot Of Joy in saving
bon't let it be a dull, hateful duty
Save so that you car win the delights
of competence, not because you can
not afford to spend. Save so that you
can afford, little LITER. to buy some
thing you want very much.

AGRICULTURE IN INTERIOR IS
 ON INCREASE

A partially complete report of the farming industry at Fairbanks for the past season, made at the meeting of the Panama Valley Agricultural As sociation by M. D. Snodgrass, superin- tendent of the government experiment tai farm, indicates that the estimates by the leaders of the association last spring will be fulfilled and in some in stances will probably be surpassed. The report made by MT. Snodgrass contains a complete record of the op- erations of eighteen farmers who com prise approximately half of those from whom reports are expected, from which a complete account of the in- dustry will be complied
 The showing made by both wheat and oats growers is significant. The average yieled from fifty-five acres of wheat exceeds twenty bushels per acre. In oats the showing is even more remarkable. The eighteen re- porting show an acreage of approxi- mately 43 bushels, from which an av- craze yield of almost 40 bushels per acre was obtained.
 MT. Snodgrass' report follows in full:

Officials, officers, soldiers or followers of Carranza are charged with 76 of the murders, according to the map. Villa and his band killed S1 of the Americans listed.

MEARS SAYS HE NEVER
 PROMISED TO DELIVER
 COAL AT FAIRBANKS
ttrom Fairbanks News Miner)

ttrom Fairbanks News Miner)
 The Alaska railroad commission never promised us coal from Nenana The statement made long since that they had, and all understood-so state- ments of Engineer Browne to that erect, were errors. Furthermore. Ne mana only has few hundred tons of coal for us, anyway. All this is made clear in wire from Commissioner Mears to the News Miner, as follows:
 With reference to your wire of December 7. The article you refer to was incorrect, as you point out. No promises were made by the Alaska engineering commission relative to de- livery of coal in Fairbanks, except as regards the railroad transportation of the same, provided the coal was made available by private coal mine oper- ators.
 Tt should be obvious to everyone that it is out of the question to spend thousands of dollars laying a rail- road track across the ice to reach the dock at Nenana, when the coal avail able for shipment to Fairbanks amounts to only a few hundred tons, more particularly so when any small quantity could be transferred over the Panama river by sled at a normal ex- pense.
 "As it is quite evident that you are misinformed regarding the coal situa- tion in the Nenana coal fields, as we'll nas the railroad tariff to Fairbanks, have asked MT. Browne at Nenana to inform you in regard to the coal situ- ation, which will doubtless serve to answer your inquiry. MEARS."
 All of which would seem to be clear enough. We await MT. Browne's in- formation with interest

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp. Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview of the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-

that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
