 marry the Kaiser, November 6, acted as hostess and nurse when two men were injured in an areo- plane accident near the Princess castle at Saabrun in Silesia. The news cabled across devotes more space to the nurses than it does to the men who fell out of the air. This curious inversion of in terest has some advantage.

Many commodities and low prices make everybody busy. The idleness of industrial panic Is the greatest waste of all.
 State Treasurer Harold GiI- patric proudly prepares for the Geeral Assembly a statement to to show that ss56,0 is on the right side of the State Treasury this year. while one year ago the same treasury was s2,O39,OOO minus.
