Gas for Balloons.

Hydrogen is the gas most commonly
used for balloons. It requires about
1850 cubic feet to lift balloon
weighing 100 pounds. Coal gas Is
sometimes used. as it is cheaper, but
S not entirely satisfactory because Of
Its great heaviness.

A Wealthy Conversation.

The depreciation of the European
currency to-day is not yet equal to the
slump in Confederate paper money
after the Civil War. A Uuon gen.
eral used to say that shortly after Lees
surrender he. heard two Confederate
soldiers bargaining over a very or
dinary-looking horse.
"He'll do for my farm, .Iim," said
one. "I'll give you twenty thousand
dollars for him."
"No," said the other.
give you fifty thousand dollars"
"No"
"Give you one hundred hundred
thousand dollars"
"Not much" replied the owner. 81
just paid one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars to have him shod."

He Was Willing to Help Out.

In an early draft according to a story
in the Home Sector, there was sent
to one of the environments an Austrian
who had no objection to serving in the
army, but who protested volubly against
being sent TO France. He had a brother
in the Austrian army. he said, and he
did not wish to be- responsible for his
death. While his case was being in
vestigated at camp headquarters, he
served the usual 'rookeship" in squads
right and in the manual of arms.
The very touch of the rifle and bay
onet seemed to increase his conscien-
tious scruples. Before executing any
movement he would blurt out, "But l
do not want to learn this do not want
to kill my brotherw
The sergeant stood it as long as he
could, but finally, losing his patience,
he shouted, "Say, you. You don't need
to worry about that. I'll kill your
brother for you myself"

Why She Came Again

In attending the Americanization
class Mrs. Minerva Jones had one object
and one only. She wanted to learn to
write her name. For a time all effort
seemed futile, and the panstaking and
conscientious teacher was on the verge
OF despair; but at last patience had its
reward, and toward the end of the
course Minerva was able to trace lab
orIously but proudly the magic SYM
bols. Then she rested on her laurels.
The exhausted teacher heaved a sigh
OF relief as the door closed on Miner
vas portly form.
81 feel that have not lived in vain,
but ! should hate to 20 through with
that again." she said to one of the as
sistants.
At the beginning Of the next term,
much to the establishment of all, Min
erva again presented herself, bland
and smiling as usual.
"Well, Minerva, what can we do
for you?"
1--WE done come to learn to write
my name, Miss Mary" announced Min
erya complacently.
But you learned how to do that last
term, Minerva. You surely haven't
forgotten so soon"
Minerva smiled broadly. "No, | amt
forgot, Miss Mary, but I've done chang
ed my name since then. I'm Mrs. Eph-
rain Jackson now"

THE REMEDY.

Work and economy are the things
that will pull the country back to sound
conditions. Everybody can he ecOnOmi-
cal, but there are some, of course, who
cannot work to any considerable extent.
But now that there are about 100 jobs
to each 70 men to do them it is up to
the people who to do what
they can to reduce the number of jobs
by practicing real economy. The world
is not producing enough to supply the
demand of the world and as a result
some people must get along without the
necessaries of life. 1t doesn't make any
more sugar to boost the price and shoes
will not wear any longer by simply add
ing dollars to their selling value. The
people ought to be economical in the
use of sugar and ought to make Il pair
of shoes go as far as possible. Yet
will discard shoes as Don as they
look a little sOiled and buy new ones.
The well-to-do are the chief offenders
in this respect and the women are
worse than the men.
We are confronted by no ordinary

INFRINGEMENT.

Representative Mondeli, republican
floor leader of the national house of
representatives, will have the backing
of the people in his efforts to keep
down governmental expenses. There
has been wave after wave of eXtrava-
gances sweeping Over the country dur
ing the past six or eight years and
congress has been no worse than the
public generally and many of the small
er legislative bodies. However, the
people are coming to realize that these
extravagances must be stopped. The
orgy of wastcfulness and ca~relessness
is entailing the nation in a grave tanglc
and the situation is becoming alarming
to conservative and careful people.
Mr.. Mondell has no easy task, but
he tackles it with a courage and de-
termination that indicates at least a
large measure of success. He declares
his unalterable opposition to the issu-
ance Of any more bonds and has set
about to secure a reduction of $3.50
100000 in the appropriations which the
various departments of the government
estimate will be necessary.
Mr.. Mondell points ont that cXpen-
ditures during the first nine months Of
the present year exceeded the incolre
by $500. 900 and that this is apt
to grow to at least $500. 1000, 600 by the
close of the year June 30. This is a
serious matter. The war has been over
for about seventeen months and it is
time successful efforts were put in Oper-
alton to make the income exceed the
'OutgO. There is a national debt of
somthing like So. 200, 100000 fastened
upon the country. The interest of this
vast sum must be taken care of and a
sinking fund created to eXtinguish the
principal in time.
The administration and congress
must realize that every worthy cause
cannot be put across and every desir-
dDle expenditure cdiinot ~ hhaue.l
There must be retrcnchment all along
the line. The people, too, must abandon
the idea that the government is made
Of money and that everything wanted
can be attained by congressional ap-
preparations. Pay day is bound to
came and if there is going to be any re-
lief from the increasing burden of tax
alton the country must stand behind
such men as Mr.. Mondell and uphold
him in the efforts he is making toward
lure Of money taken from the people.
