the result of a most searching investi-
cation that included long hearings at
the various camps and also in Wash
ington. That criminal prosecution
of those responsible Will follow is al
most a %foregone conclusion. Demand
is made upon the department of JUS
tice to bring immediate action for the
recovery of the wasted public funds.
Some idea of what these are may be
gathered from the discovery that out
Of an expenditure of S206, 900 900 paid
for the construction of the sixteen ma
tional army cantonments, o than
$7S. 900, 900 should have been saved.
In addition to these, there were ma
tional guard and special camps and
hospitals in large numbers. The total
cost amounted to 81, 200, 000, 900, and it
IS estimated that from thirty to fifty
per CEN was lost because of waste
and idlness. Not only that, but it is
estimated that there was a fifty per
cent loss of time in construction due

MeCulloch made a scathing attack
on Secretary Baker, who. in testifying
before the committee, admitted re-
possibility for authorizing the coun-
cit of national defense to put into
effect the cost-plus system. He
showed that the council Of national
defense, although not legally EN-
powered to do SO. was permitted by
Mr.. Baker to put the work in the
hands of an emergency construction
committee, the membership of which
a composed of contractors, al
though the corps of army engineers,
including such officers as General Goe-
thals, who built the Panama Canal
was ready and anxious to undertake
it, but instead was snubbed and hui
inflated.

Barnes dancing horses, there were
many ~rehearsals, after which they
took their meals standing up for a
time; but they were soon used to it,
and now they like their 449-foot stage,
in preference to the fifty-foot one
they had in New York.
They sing while the horses dance,
and this is the newest wrinkle in
circusdom, made possible only by a
giant organization like the Barnes

When one reads of Trotzky, the

thought occurs that demagogues, given

When a politician, who processes to be

the people, gets a chance to hand the
people something. he certainly takes
advantage of all his opportunities.

Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets,

around their necks, and they swing

for a moment cast a reflection upon
the governor of the state who offered
them pardon? Their conduct would
reflect only upon themselves. Every
sinner is in the prison-house Of sin,
under sentence of death not merely
temporal death but eternal death,
terernal separation from God is
hanging over every sinner. But thank
God, am glad the prison doors are
unlocked and you can step out in the
world free men and women, you can
have your sins all pardoned. You
can be as though you never had sin
ned against the laws of heaven. It
seems to me that every man and
woman would just grasp at the OPP
portunity and move out, saying, 81

people prefer to remain in the awful
dungeon of sin. All who do will have
to pay the penalty melted out in the
great day of judgment. You will
then have to say l am responsible for
my awful doom; for I would not ac-
cept forgiveness. / must pay my

dying form of the crucified Lord;
we would be guilty for the very suf-

sponsible. Oh, my God help men and

The price for a team was set at
$3.50, 81 for a team and wagon, wat
ter haulers $40 a day including four
horses.
The wage to be paid engineers and
separator tenders was left to the
threshermen themselves; as this re-
quires skilled labor it was decided to
leave the salaries to be paid them to
the operators of the machines.
After setting price on labor which
they considered to be fair, they took
up the question of the price to be
asked for threshing. 1t was the gen
eral opinion of the members present
at the meeting that the prices asked
for are based on 1850 bushel aver
age per day, for 20 days run dur
ing the season, that the actual cost
of threshing a bushel of wheat runs
as follows:
Twenty-Five cents a bushel where
threshermen furnish complete outfit

Twenty-One cents bushel where
he furnishes complete outfit except
cook house.

A HEROINE OF THE GREAT

the Crimean War. Today we are
going TO write about Edith cavell. a
heroine OF tho great world war. Her

soil for two years. AVE recent

Who was Edith Carell? Why was
her body removed from Belgium and
brought back to her native home in
England? Why did Westminster ABB
hey and Norwich Cathedral hold SOL
emn service In remembrance of her?
1 shall tell you.
Before the last war Edith ,cayeIi
was very little known except by her
own people. Today she is known TO
the utmost parts OF the earth.
During the great world war she
nursed and cared for the sick and
suffering soldiers. She was kind 10
friend and also to foe.
One thing that Edith Cavell could
not stand to see was to see the Ger
their soil and make them ngnt
against their native land. On. night
h sheltered some convalesccnt sol
diers and helped them slip out OF
Germany into Holland. a little coun-
try near Belgium. :.
The only crime the Germans could
find her guilty of was that of being

who needed her. One night some Ger
man soldiers took her out into a
garden. One OF the German officers
took from his belt a pistol and $40;
her. So low was Germany?
AS for Edith Cavell. she died as n
daughter of England. too proud
and TOO Kind to have hatred in her
