During the county conference held

SHOULD GET ANOTHER BEAU
Little Probability That Hoosier Girl
Will Ever Eradicate stinsy Streak
From Present One.

The stingiest young man has been
discovered and he is Hoosier too
living In Terre Haute, says the In.
dianapolis News. He has long been
termed chair-warmer by the family
of the girl whom he hoIors with his
company. for he has never taken her
to a show-even moving picture one.
AS for candy and flowers, well he has
not sent or brought any of either.
AS he seemed to be really nice the
girl decided that perhaps he was green
that he needed little hint. So the
other night she decided to give him
one. After he had occupied about an
hour of her time and also of her IA
theirs heat and, electric light, she said:
"Oh, I'm so hungry for candy. Will
you go to the drug store with me so
that can get someT
He rose to show his willingness, and
the girl was delighted, believing that
her plan was going to work. But when
the drug store was reached and the
candy was bought, he displayed no in
tention of paying the bill. So, of
course, she had to do it herself.
Furious at him and the whole world,
too, she carried the box home and put
it, still in its wrappings. on the piano
in the living room. And all the rest
of the evening she tortured him by
talking of the joy she would have on
the morrow when she ate the candy.

Weeds and Hay Fever.

Interesting observations made py
DR.. William Sheppegrell, president OF
the American Hay Fever Prevention
association, are reported in a paper
published by him. AS result OF
weed-cutting campaign carried out in
New Orleans In the spring of 1916 the
number of hay fever cases was re-
duced to less than so per cent of the
usual prevalence. The "cold storage"
treatment of the disease, in which
practically all ventilation is excluded
in order to insure the absence of at
mospheric pollen, is said to afford only
transient relief, while the low tenn
perature is likely to cause bronchitis.
The effects of an abundant rain on hay
fever patients is beneficial because the
rain not only washes the pollen out of
the air, but also permanently removes
its toxic qualities, so that it is harm
less when again blown into the air
after the rain Is over. This has been
proved by laboratory experiments, in
which pollen, after submersion in wa
ter, was inhaled by hay fever subjects
without any apparent effect.

LAND WAITS ON RECLAMATION
Water and Modern Methods Will Make
the Desert Of Turkestan Bloom
Like a Garden.

Turkestan is, of course, primarily
agricultural country, and cotton, the
major crop. The other industries still
await development There is a ire
mendous field for the cultivation of
vineyards and rice and other cereals.
At the same time, the development
of agriculture will greatly stimulate
the sheep-raising industry, which is
now in the hands Of primitive natives,
uninstructed In modern methods. The
fruit industry awaits the guiding hand
Of modern science. With the help of
California specialists, Turkestan could
be transformed into an enormous fruit
garden. There Is at present only one
factory for fruit preserving. Similar
ly, the fish teeming in the lakes and
rivers need only the introduction of
modern industry to place them upon
the food markets of the world. The
silk industry, If properly organized,
would easily become one of the most
important in the world. The mountains
of Turkestan are rich in unexpected
minerals. Gold, iron, copper, coal and
many rare and precious stones and
metals await the pioneer.
There is an old legend in Turkestan
that the Eden of the first man was
placed in the valley Of Ferghana and
that for his sin Allah laid curse upon
the country and transformed 1t into
desert. The quickening touch of water
restores the desert to richness and fer
tility surprising all legends. Who will
build Eden anew?

BIG Trade In Old Papers.

A curious item of commercial news
is that the east coast district of the
island of Sumatra in 1918 imported
$50, S35 pounds of secondhand news
papers" from the United States. I'm
ports of the same kind of merchandise
from January l to September i, of last
year, were 572,5S5 pounds. The papers
are wanted to cover young sprouts Of
rubber trees and sugar cane. The eli
mate of the island u very hot-as
might be surmised from the circum-
stance that the equator runs through
the middle of it-and, to prevent the
sprouts burning up in the fierce sun
shine, sheets of paper are spread over
them. Old newspapers serve the pur-
pose very well, each sheet being held
down with stones at the corners. In
Hawaii the same method of protection
is adopted, but In that archipelago
sheets of rice paper, imported from
Japan, are used.

Evolution Of Man Foreseen.

In one of his recent lectures Sir OIL
yer Lodge, eminent English scientist,
announced that the earth would prob
ably continue to exist for 2O,OOO,0OO
years more. These are, of course,
round numbers. Some scientists esti-
mate that the earth will live for ten
times this age. There have been AMI
mails of one kind and another on this
planet for fully this length of time.
The dinosaurs are believed to have
lived through some such period. The
age of man, which is probably only
a few thousand years, seems rhe mer-
est trife by comparison. When we
consider how man has developed dur
ing recorded history, which is less
than ten thousand years, we may hope
that he will evolve to an infinitely
finer type in the future.-Boys' Life.

FUTURE AUTO MOTIVE POWER
Interesting Speculation as to What
Will Take the Place Of Fast
Diminishing Gasoline.

Gasoline will continue to go up In
price. A few years from now we
shall have to use something else as
fuel for our automobiles. The ques-
ton is, what?
The government bureau of mines
thinks that we shall get the requisite
substitute from coal. In every city
there will be "by-product coke ovens,'
which will extract from the coal a
light oil available for the purpose. The
coke can then be used in our furnaces
and for other ordinary fuel purposes.
One ton of soft coal in the process
of coking yields about three gallons
present prices the heat in the oil has
20 times the commercial value of the
same amount of heat in the form Of
COAL
Germany during part of the war was
practically shut off from every supply
of mineral oil. She depended for her
motor fuel entirely on coal, putting the
latter through by-product coking
plants. Before long we shall be
obliged to do the same thing in the
United States.
Part of the light oil in coal is toluol,
which in time of war is needed for the
manufacture of INT. Modern warfare
requires enormous quantities of the
substance for making high-explosive
shells. During the first part of the
war the allies came near defeat for
lack of it.
Another by-product from the coking
of one ton of soft coal is 5000 cubic
feet of gas, available for cooking and
other household uses. The coke it
self makes an admirable smokeless
fuel for furnaces, if people could only
be persuaded to use it. .

SEES INFLUENCE AS HANDICAP
Charles M. Schwab Insists That Char.
acter Is the Biggest Asset In
Modern Business.

Influenced The worst thing that can
happen to a man is to start life with
influence. So declared Charles NJ.
Schwab in talk to Princeton students
upon how to succeed in business, re-
marks Leslie's. Young fellows who
excuse their failure on the score Of
having no influential friend to give
them a boost get cold comfort from
Mr.. Schwab, who has come up from
the ranks, and who now goes so far as
to advise any young man who has an
influence not to use it to get a start.
Mr.. Schwab laid down as the first
fundamental of a successful life, "Un-
improbable integrity" Character is
the biggest asset in business. A whole
array Of brilliant qualities will not
take the place Of this cornerstone of
enduring success. The whole tenor of
Mr.. Schwab's heart-to-heart talk was
new emphasis on the old-fashioned
qualities of loyalty, industry and per-
sistence. The Soung man who pos
sesses these traits is bound to succeed,
for opportunity was never so great as
1t is today. No industry is more high
ly organized than the steel Industry,
yet with all the progress made in the
last 20 years the industry is far from
its zenith. SO great is the magnitude
of modern industry in all branches
that opportunities for leadership, in
stead of decreasing as some imagine,
have actually increased in proportion
as industry itself has grown.

Boards AS BILL COLLECTORS
Author Gives Possible Reason Why
Most Publishers Prefer the Clean
Shaver Face.

Herbert Jenkins, the London pub
Usher who occasionally losses off a
book himself, tells the story of how
on one occasion when he was dining
with an author and editor, the author
suddenly called his attention to man
sitting alone in a far corner Of the
restaurant.
'rThat man." remarked the author,
"has character. He has a publisher
from whom he can never extract
money. What do you think he didF'
Mr. Jenkins shook a dubious head.
"He went to the publishers office
and demanded payment. There was
nothing doing. Without ceremony he
seized the publisher by the beard and
announced his intention of hanging on
until he got a check. He got his
money.
"That," continued the author re-
morselessly, as he fixed a speculative
eye upon Mr.. Jenkins clean-shaven
chin, sis why very few publishers wear
boards"

SC0REBoARD is HIS DIAMOND
Who Can Enjoy Game With
out Seeing 1t.

We never see him at the game, not
even in the bleachers. He stands be-
fore checkered frame with scores of
fellow creatures. He cannot hear the
crack of bat or see the rival fingers,
but yet he visions all of that as on
the curb he fingers.
He cannot hear the batters beef"
or boot in wild derision, nor can he
raise cry of thief" when peeved at
some decision. He cannot watch, with
features set, his diamond gods EN-.
battled; he cannot start a din to get
the other twirler ratified.
But yet he groans or whoops with
Joy, looks glum or starts to grinning,
when now and then the office boy
chalks up the latest inning. The board
dissolyes before his view as do the
street and alley and fancy speeds him
quickly to that dear old Rainier val
ley.
In fancy he is with the birds that
perch upon the railing, with "empties"
and assorted words the robber Jumps"
assailing, and though the scoreboard's
potent dope portends a sad disaster,
he sticks around in logged hope his
heroes yet will master.
Most anyone can be a fan who owns

Where Life Is Longest.

Which is the healthiest place In the
world? -
If the index Is the death rate, as
it presumably must be, we have TO
go to the unlikely neighborhood of the
antarctic to find It, In the last colonial
report from the Falkland islands the
death rate for 1917 and 1918 was 5.31
per 1000. During ten years the death
rate in England and Wales did not
drop below 1873, and was as high as
176.
Yet the climate of the Falkland is
lands is vigorous and the country is
more bleak and barren than the Shet-
lands. High winds blow almost con-
stuntly, but there is no scarcity of
sunshine. To these, Natures two

the longevity Of the sparse population.
