THE European tangle reminds one
of large hornets nest which is con-
tinually being stirred up and the
little countries of Europe and the
people in them are continually buzz
zing around looking for trouble. sOn
the surface everything looks serene
and lovely and the league Of nations
is expected to do wonders but when
you come to dig down under the sur
face you find growing mass of die
content and suspicion, One country
over there hates to trust another and
no one seems willing to take anything
at its face value.
America has been generous to the
European countries. We have loaned
them big sums of money, we have
endeavored to straighten out their
muddles and we have endeavored to
help their poor and starving. We
have done for European nations what
they have failed to do for themselves.

Daylight Saving

The question of whether or not
the people of this city should set
their clocks ahead during the sum-

opinion that as q city We should

which it clings so that the inmates suf-
fer from strange illness that baf-
fies medical science.
But undoubtedly the most mysteri-
Gus, as well as the most sinister, Of all
plants Is the mandrake, lOw-grOwing
plant with large leaves, and bearing q
fruit something like an apple.
The mandrake has always been asso-
ciated with madness and evil. To pull
q mandrake out Of the ground was at
one time held to be certain death, and
to all who heard its shrieks as it was
torn from the earth came madness.
The root of this plant is in shape
something like a human form, and
makes strange kind Of screeching
sound when pulled out Of the ground.
In Italy the society ladies paid high
prices for mandrake roots, because
the possession Of such was thought to
insure offspring to childless women.
This superstition probably arose from
the references to the mandrake in
Genesis 3O:14: "And Reuben went
In the day Of wheat harvest. and found
mandrakes In the field, and brought
them unto his mother, Leah. Then
Rachel said to Leah, Give me, pray
thee, Of thy sons mandrakes.'

Can't Rob Peter to Pay Paul

The Times has been asked
this question: "In the event that
Wash burn decides to purchase
both public utilities can the
earning from one be used to
keep down the rates on the
other? So far as we are able 10
learn this would be impossible

complaint was made to the rail

was excessive the commission
would likely order the rate de-
creased, while on the other hand
if the lighting company was a

sion would likely order raise
in rates in order to make this
utility pay for itself. So far as
we are able to learn the earn.
ings of one could not be trans.
ferred to the other for that
would be unjust to the users OF
the utility which was losing
money.
Both utilities would have to
have rates sufficient to maintain
themselves and Peter could
not be robbed to pay Paul.
Both utilities would have to

make earnings sufficient TO main.

Notre Danes Famous carooyIea

The gargoyles of Notre Dame are
commonly associated with the meda-
eval spirit and the queer obsessions OF
old Paris. AS matter Of fact. while
the stained,glass windows date from
the thirteenth and fourteenth centr
ries, most Of the gargoyles were execut-
ed under the direction Of Violet lie Due
when the cathedral was ] Este red. No
earlier than the middle of last century.
Writing In 1913, Harry Hens. who 10

declared that mos of the gargoyies

Of Notre Dame were done by an Eng-

What is undoubtedly the largest and
probably the. greatest pipe organ
ever made was that which was played
in Festival hall in st. Louis, during
the exposition in 1904. 1t was origin

DUMB HERO ON CASUALTY LIST
Old Red Cross Army Mule the Only
Animal That Was Accorded the
Distinction.

Dumb animals fought, bled and died
for the United States, writes J. w.
Rixey Smith In the Home Sector, and
only one lonely army mule, attached
to the Twenty-seventh division for
duty, was hOnOred with a place on the
casualty list.
The ex-sOldier's magazine says:
MANY men of the Twenty-seventh di-
vision will never forget the old Red
Cross mule who, so far as is known,
accounted for the only casualty accred-
tied to our animals in the war. Many
q time the old wOrnout beast faithful
ly piled his way right up to the front
lines with chewing gum and chocolate
and cigarettes. Once, in some manner,
he went too far, found himself in the
thick Of the fighting, got himself prop
erly excited and--there are witnesses
to attest it--kicked q BOche into
Oblivion. And the luck that had been
with him stuck, for he came safely
back to the American lines.
The faithful messenger dogs at
tached to liais0n service to the Seven
ty-seventh division will always be re-
membered kindly by their Yankee
friends. Will members of Battery b,
One Hundred Thirteenth field artillery,
ever forget Billy, the little pony pris-
Oner taken from the enemy, which,
though cleverly struggled aboard ship,
they were forced just before landing
to relinQuish and see put en- route for
France again? Certainly no one who
was ever at St. Pierre des Corps has
forgotten Hiss Jenny HOhenzOllern,
the fastidious pet monkey who, among
other things, ate box of G. @. pills
and chewed to pulp whole fodder OF
important papers. Nearly half OF the
5000 pigeons remaining In the A. Il.

COUNTY Agricultural Agent V. F..
Brubaker has started an important
movement in, Bayfield, county to rid
the county of the scrub bull and

towns are Russell and Bell, and we

is also in the same class, although q
report was not made for that town.
Mr.. Brubaker has agricultural

The elimination of the scrub sire

the average person is able to realize.
Not only will. the farmers benefit
through the difference in price for
the stock which they have TO sell
but the m Tx production through
pure breeding will be increased to
such an extent that it will mean
thousands of dollars to the farmers
of the county.
City people as well as farmers
should talk pure bred stock from the
standpoint of dollars and cents to
