he could occupy one apartment, care for the building and be employed at somne- thing lucrative or not and get better than 10 per cent net on the investment.If you are interested, don\u2019t delay seeing me, as the price asked for the property is away below the present cost to erect such a building and it will move quick.Charles E.Bennett, Library Square, Derby Line, Vt.40w2 KEROSENE MAY BE USED SUCCESSFULLY on stationary, tractor and marine engines, where the pull is constant, but engine builders are a unit in declaring that none of the so-called \u2018\u2018kerosene-burners\u201d will ever be a success unless the motor is built especially to burn the heavy fuel.The carburetor manufacturer has been sweating blood in an effort to meet the conditions and difficulties involved in atomizing or vaporizing low grade fuels; they have added cams, springs, levers and jets and the only result is a complicated carburetor, and you do not get the mileage today that you did several years ago.THE NEW U.& J.CARBURETOR solves the gasoline question and the carburetor problem.The device is simplicity itself and does not contain a single moving part, other than the float and throttle, and will give more power and speed on about one-half the gasoline required by any other make of carburetor, regardless of name or price.We also guarantee that any car can be started with the U, & J.Carburetor in zero weather We appreciate the fact that there are numerous devices on the market, claiming to do these stunts but there is only one Carburetor with a new principle, and all we ask is that you let us give you a demonstration on your own FORD CAR.U.& J.SALES COMPANY, Vermont | | = | | without the use of any primer or other devices for cold weather starting.DERBY LINE, ROCK ISLAND, | Quebec jet EE eee 81 EF EE 51 ce ES aan (joa if] anne § {foun §) {jeans TOWN TOPICS O.C.Belknap of Katevale was a business visitor to the Boundary villages Friday.Mr.and Mrs.O.M.Carpenter and Mrs.Flora Robinson motored to West Charleston Sunday atterncon.Beach Bly has resumed hie studies at the Newport bigh school, and is living with his uncle, Joel Bly.Mr, and Mrs.A.Duguid snd eon Malcomb of Sherbrooke were guests of Mr.and Mrs, G.Raymond Heath on Sunday.Misses Florence and Ann Hackett of Montreal are gueste of their grandparents, Mr.and Mre.D.W.Davie, at \u201cRedholme.\u201d O.Webb has purchased a building lot on Caswell Avenue from Henry T.Ball and expects to build a residence next spring.The water eupply was greatly improved by the heavy rains of last week.The lower level springs were among the lost to revive.Ulrio Cordeau has made a great improvement in bis block in Library Square by two coats of paint;

Suitable Materials and Decorations for Playtime and Dress Occasions.The baby who Is brought up without an Intimate acquaintance with rompers 18 to be sympathized with, Never was there so comfortable a style, and now that decorative handwork has taken these wee garments under its wing, never has there been a more attractive style for the playtime of the littlest member of the family.Materlals for the rompers vary from dimity to wash silk and include seersucker, chambray, cotton crepe, linen and unbleached muslin, All admit the decorative touch.It may be smocking, which In the case of soft materials, 1s always lovely.The smocking can be used to excellent advantage on the wash silks built on the regulation romper pattern.It gathers in the fullness at the front of the neck and at the bottom of the sleeves and 18 done, of course, In a contrasting color.Flesh color smocked In light blue 1s a fetching color scheme.One model that is differently attractive has a kimono sleeve instead of the set-in variety.Another has bloomer legs Instead of the opening right across the bottom, which, by the way, 18 better for very young children.The former kimono top uses, hesides the blue daisies and outlined bluebird in the front, rows of feather-stitching to hold the fullness in the proper places and thus give the kimono cut a semblance of shape.A contrasting belt of white with bunny and outlining in yellow gives the appearance of separate trousers to a bloomered model In tan chambray.Just contrasting frills of white and pear! buttons make another chambray model as dainty a little garment as one could wish, But the prize really must go to a little dimity affair In white silk with real Irish lace pleot edging around the collar and sleeve, then blue French knots to match the blue cross- stitched geese on its belt.KEYNOTE OF DRESS Some of the new mushroom hats have bandeaux inside.Little belts of bright.colored ribbon are popular for the white costume.Black satin ribbon Is arranged In spiral fashlon on a black satin gown.Individuality is unquestionably the keynote of present senson dressing.Hatpins with flower heads of brilliantly varnished kid are a Paris novelty.Few of them are now permitting themselves to be bound by lronieal rtyle rulings, either as to color or fab- rie, skirt length or width, Crepe de chine has had so many songs sung in its favor that little

article used in the kitchen.The basket was carried in by the hostesses and placed before the bride-to-be, and was pre.senied by Miss Ruth Brown, in a few well-chosen words.The gifts were unwrapped,

in June for a year\u2019s missionary work on tbe Labrador.It will be of interest to bis former parish.loners.Mutton Bay, Labrador, Que., | August 1st, 1919, \u2018As I cannot write individually to all my late pariebioners at Fitch Bay, Georgeville, and Griffin, from whom I parted with euch regret in the month of June in answer to the Church\u2019e call for missionaty work on the Labrador, I shall endeavor to write à general letter to let you all know that after five daye\u2019 sailing on board a small steamer from Quebec, named ratber suggestively the \u2018\u2018Labrador,\u2019\u2019 I arrived without mishap at Matton Bay, the headquarters of the mission, on July 18th, my birthday, which by a strange coincidence was the same date that I left it fifteen years before.I received a very warm welcome from the people, which contrasted sharply with the frigid temperature of the atmosphere, there being several large pieces of ice floating about in the water, and some snow was still to be seen on the land; whether it was from the past winter, or had remained all through my absence, I know not, but there it was in the same hollows and crevices where 1 saw it fifteen years ago.So while youn may be almost sweltering with 90 in the shade, l am almost freezing at 30 in the sun.However, the air, though cool is very bracing, inducing good, sound sleep, and improving my appetite to such an extent, that I find myself gaining in weight at the alarming rate of a pound a week.If that keeps up for fifty-two weeks, you will not recognize me when I return, as I shall have grown out of all proportion to my former self, due, I suppose to the complete change of diet.Here, it is practically all game and fish.And delicious fish it is, eaten the day itis taken from the salt water.I will mention a few, not to make your mouth water, but to let yon know that I am pot faring at all badly.I have, bad, since my arrival, such members of the finny tribe as salmon, trout, halibut, cod, baddock, and caplan;and some without fius, as lobster, clam, scollop, mussel, etc., a very pleasing variety.And game of almost as many various kinds.So you see that in regard to food I am faring very well.There are maby things, however, one has to do without.In fact, the art of doing without is the best known and most practiced of all the arts on the Labrador.The codfish, which is the staple means of livelihood on this coast, \u201cstruck\u201d as they eay here, in large quantities, the day after my arrival.I was therefore able to see it at ite best.Four and five boatloads were taken at one time from the trap-nets.To catch, drees, and dry these flsh means much bard work for the flsher- folk, who sometimes go for a whole week with only two or threa hours of sleep a night.I wonder how the \u2018*Eastern Townships\u201d farmer would like that?Some grousing then.There are no slackers here, everybody works.Children of even six and seven years of age turn the fish on the rocks.They are to be found in almost every home.The words of the marriage service, \u2018\u2018thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine,\u201d are certainly true of the Labrador wife.Twa things ehe has in abundance\u2014work and children; and such large families, twelve being not uncommon, and sometimes fifteen, or even eighteen.Race suicide is no problem here.The problem is how to provide food and clothing for the many who come.I find, however, that conditions have changed greatly for the better during the last fifteen years.They have gone some, like the rest of the world.Fish has been plen- tital, and since the beginning of the war the price has been exceptionally high, an increase of fully three hundred per cent.As aresult the people have made their homes more comfortable, and live and dress better.Then the Government is undertaking a larger part in the education of the children, so life, on the whole, is on the up-grade.There is, too, in my ministerial section of the Labradcr, a Grenfell Hospital, with a capacity of fourteen beds, up-to-date equipment, resident doctor and nuree, large decked motor boat on which the doctor travels periodically along the coast, one-hundred and

Important as It le That Highways Should Be Done Right\u2014 Kesp Ruts From Forming.(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) It is fully as important that a road be dragged at the right time as it is that the dragging be properly done.Furthermore, the difficulties involved in prescribing definite rules for determining when dragging should be done are equally as great as those already encountered in attempting to define how it should be done.Only very general statements concerning this feature of the work can properly be made here, and much must be left to the experienced judgment of those who decide when the dragging of any particular road is to be started and when it ls to be stopped.The rule frequently cited that all earth roads should be dragged immediately after every rain, is in many cases entirely impracticable and 1s also Drag on a North Carolina Road.very misleading because of the conditions which it falls to contemplate.It is true that there are many road sur- feces composed of earth or earthy ma- terlal which do not become very muddy under trafic, even during long rainy seasons, and since such surfaces usu- plly tend to harden very rapidly as soon as the weatlier clears up, it may be desirable to drag roads of this kind immediately after a rain.Such roads, however, would not ordinarily need to be dragged after every rain, because of the strong tendency that they naturally possess of holding thelr shape.On the other hand, many varieties of clay and soil tend to become very muddy under only light traffic after very moderate rains, and, it is evident that roads constructed of such materials could not always be successfully dragged immediately after a rain.Sometimes, in fact, it may be necessary to wait until several consecutive clear days have elapsed after a long rainy spell before the road is sufficiently dried out to keep ruts from forming almost as rapidly as they can be filled by dragging.Well-constructed sand-clay topsoil roads should not often become muddy after they are once well compacted.They may become seriously rutted, however, under heavy traffic, during rainy weather, and are almost sure to need dragging several times each year.Such roads should ordinarily be dragged as soon after a rain as practicable as otherwise the surface soon becomes dry and hard, so that It ts necessary to do considerably more dragging In order to fill the ruts.Furthermore, the material which the drag roves will not compact readily unless it contains a considerable amount of moisture, Gravel roads can be effectively maintained with a road drag only when the gravel composing the surface is fine grained and contains a considerable quantity of clay earth.Gravel road surfaces in which this condition pre- valls not infrequently get badly out of shape during wet weather, and may sometimes require considerably more attention than well-constructed sand- clay topsoil roads.The time for dragging gravel roads is unquestionably while they are wet.In fact, the best results are sometimes obtained by doing the dragging after the road has become thoroughly soaked and while it is still raining.In general, it may be said that the best time to drag any type of road is when the material composing the sur face contains sufficient molsture to compact readily after it has been 1ioved by the drag and Is not suffi- \u2019ently wet for the traffic following the « \"ag to produce mud.Change in Road Sentiment.Whén we consider the fact that such « large proportion of our population ure owners of automobiles it is not dificult to understand the change in sentiment In regard to road building that has recently developed.Big Saving in Hauling .If our main highways were improved with permanent surface, we would certainly save 8 or 9 cents per ton mile in hauling the immense interstate commerce that each year originates from agriculture, mine and forest.PROTECTING HORSES FROM STABLE FLIES Source of Keen Annoyance to Animals in Hot Weather.Most Logical Method of Abating Nul.sance Is to Eliminate All Breeding Places\u2014Coal Tar Sprays Are Recommended.(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Stable flies are a source of keen an: noyance to work animals during the heat of summer.Every owner who has the welfare of the dumb beasts at heart should strive to alleviate as far as possible the discomforts to which the horses are exposed.The most logical method of abating the fly nuisance is to eliminate all breeding places, such as manure piles.Manure should be kept in fly-tight pits or bins until such time as it can be hauled to the flelds.Pits should be conveniently located so the manure can be easily thrown In at the time of cleaning and so constructed that it can be readily removed.It 18 essential that flies be prevented from reaching the manure, but, as some of them will, even though great care is exercised, it is advisable to place a flytrap on the pit.The coal-tar sprays used in combating the fly evil in the dairy stable are also efficient In driving the winged pests away frora the horses.Among the best of these is a solution of 100 parts of fish oil, 500 parts of oll of tar, and 1 part of crude carbolie acid.It may be prepared at home at a cost of about 35 cents a gallon.This spray, as well as kerosene emulsion and other fly repellants containing coal-tar products, fish oll, resin, and oil of tar, are best applied with an inexpensive spray pump.It is preferable to give the horses a hasty spraying early each morning before they go to work.This brings best results from the use of the fly eradicator.For general comfort of the work animals when they come from the field at night !t is recommended that after the harness bas been removed each animal be given a sponge bath with a solution of cool salt water.In case there are any work galls or shoulder sores, these injuries should be treated with white lotion, which is one of the most healing and soothing preparations of its kind for use in warm weather, STORAGE LOSS OF POTATOES Farmers and Dealers Are Preventing Enormous Waste by Building More Improved Houses, (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Importance of modern sweet potato storage houses, such as have been designed by the United States department of agriculture, in which potatoes can be kept with practically no loss, is shown by the enormous waste results ing from Improper storage.South ¥ 5 ! i aA NAN LN Interior of Satisfactory Potato Storage House With Earthen Side Walle.Carolina in 1917, becatise of disease in the fleld and in storage, lost 60 per cent of its crop\u2014that portion being valued at $4,888,110.This state produces about 12.5 per cent of the sweet potatoes raised in the United States, and the crop ranks fourth in the state in value, being surpassed only by cotton, corn, and tobacco.Storage losses through the South are being greatly reduced, as the farmers and dealers are continually building both community and Individual storage houses of the Improved type.LOSS OF VALUABLE MANURE One-Half of Plant Food Value Lost When Left In Open Yard Dun Ing Summer Months, Manure left in the open yard through the summer months may lose one-half its plant-food value due to fermentation and leaching.Rotted manure which has been saved carefully will be richer in plant-food elements, ton for ton, than fresh manure, It re quires one and one-half to three tons of fresh manure to make a ton of rot ted manure, which is reduced greatly and the total quantity of plant-food elements also is decreased by fermentation and exposure.Except in special cases and for certain crops or gardening conditions, there is no advantage In rotting the manure; better apply it fresh from the stable before any loss occurs.ALL TO BE HONORED ALIKE No Distinction In Headstones Over British Officers and Men Who Died in the War, Speaking of the resolutions adopted by the imperial war graves commission, a writer in the London Times says: \u201cFrom the first it was laid down by the commission that no distinction should be made in the form or character of memorial to officers and men lying in the same cemetery.It was felt that what was done for one should be done for all, and that all, whatever their military rank or position in civil life, should have equal treatment so far as their graves were concerned.Were the erection of monuments left to individual Initiative, probably those of the well-to-do would overshadow those of their poorer comrades, to the loss of the whole sense of common sacrifice and service.The place for the individual monument, it was thought, should be at home.Therefore the creation of individual headstones of a single uniform pattern has been decided upon.These headstones will bear the badge of the regiment or unit to which the soldier belonged, together with the name, rank, regiment, and date of death.They should be easy of identification, and will perpetuate the present effect produced by the wooden crosses.As a central monument in each cemetery a cross and memorial stone are to be set up, simple but impressive in character.An inscription for the stone has been selected by Rudyard Kipling.\u201d OLD-TIME TOOTH POWDER AD Printed in Scottish Newspaper in 1660, in All Probability It Was - the First.One of those Individuals who has leisure enough to dig Into the records of days long past, has unearthed what is said to be the first advertisement ever published of a preparation for cleansing and preserving the teeth.It appeared 238 years ago, and, though the language is a bit involved, the writer needed no lessons from modern publicity experts in claiming virtues for his product.The ad was printed in the Mercurius Politicus of Leith, Scotland, in 1660, and reads: \u201c \u2018Most Excellent and Approved Dentifrices to scour and cleanse the Teeth, making them white as Ivory; preserves from Toothache; so that being constantly used, the parties using it are never troubled with the Toothache: it fastens the Teeth, sweetens the Breath and preserves the Mouth and Gums from Canker and Imposthumes.Made by Robert Turner, Gentleman; and the rights are only to be had at Thomas Rooker, Stationer, at the Holy Lamb at the East end of St.Pauls Church, near the School, in sealed papers at 12d the paper.The reader is desired to beware of counterfeits.\u201d Warfare Little Changed.When General Pershing saw the dangerous salient in the German line, he put in the American army instantly, meeting the emergency as Caesar met the rush of the Nervil in that same northeast France.When he encountered the complicated fortifications, trenches, pits and tangles of the Argonne, he employed precisely the kind of tactics to win through that Xenophon employed at the River Centrites more than 2,800 years ago and the same that Caesar used in his triumphant campaign against Vercingetorix.The details change, the principles remain.Napoleon summed up the un- altering art in 78 maxims, and the last of these declares that the only way to become a great captain is to study the campaigns of the great generals of all times.War Horrors.Two women were talking on a 'bus.\u201cMy hair became so gray during the war,\u201d said the first woman.\u201cI hope it will be all right after awhile.\u201d \u201cI can understand,\u201d sald the second woman.\u201cIt was enough to make any one\u2019s hair gray.I am sure you won't add any more gray hairs now that peace has come,\u201d \u201cOh,\u201d said the first woman candidly, \u201cit wasn\u2019t exactly because of the war that my hair became gray\u2014that 1s, it wasn't because of worry; but, you know, the preparation I used to use\u2014was imported\u2014and during the war I couldn't get any of it.I had to let the gray hairs have their way\u2014 but now I hope it will be different,\u201d she ended brightly.A Crying Need.\u201cThere ort to be a school here for training

France.\u201d The inferno of hot work In the line evoked the religious fervor of negro troops, which never is far from the surface, and this aspect of the fighting still occupies a prominent place in the recollection of wounded negro soldiers returning to this country.\u201cWhen Frits spotted us hell bus\u2019 wide open an\u2019 tu'n all dem onregenret fellers into ragin\u2019 prayeh meeting\u201d

TRENCHES Soldiers Reason for Not Shooting Hare Was a Decided Reflection on the Hun.This tale comes from a soldler who was one of the first Yanks to reach the front: A big, burly, good-humored chap was with me on outpost duty and we were lying listening in a wood where there were several clumps of underbrush In our neighborhood.We were thinking of another move forward when we spled a large French hare running straight toward us.He was coming as directly as possible away from the enemy lines.Although there was no attack from either side in progress at that moment, the desultory rattle of some machine gun and the occasional crack of a rifle rendered it safe to try a shot at any object without fear of discovery.\u201cHit him or I will,\u201d said L.\u201cDon't shoot,\u201d was the answer, \u201cthe poor beggar thinks he has a better chance for life coming over to us than he has going in the Hune' direction.\u201d That bit of sentiment knocked me cold and I could not stir the trigger.The hare disappeared in the underbrush and I felt convinced that his sympathies were with us.It would\u2019 have been a different story had it been the spiked cap of a Boche we had alighted.Automoblies in Canada.In 1914 the number of automobiles in Canada was 67,415, increasing to 189,- 820 in 1917.It is estimated that the number of cars in use at the close of the present year will be approximately 250,000.With an estimated population of 8,000,000 this gives a proportion of one car for everv thirty-two {nhabi- tants, as against one for every 118 Inhabitants four years ago.Statistics have been compiled showing the occupations of car owners throughout the country, and from this it is apparent that about 90 per cent of all the cars in use are owned by persons whose occupations are such that the automobile in thelr hands is a utility enabling them to do more and better work.Nearly one-half of the cars in use are the property of farmers.Will Sell Secadier.An echo of the German sea raiders comes from the South Pacific.There on the coast of Lord Howe island Îles the wreck of the Seeadler, of Atlantic fame two years ago.According to reports, the raider is to be sold by auction by the French government.Though her hull is badly damaged the Seeadler's engines are in good condition, and there 1s also a large quantity of hawsers, tanks, and other equipment.The famous raider was at one time the barque Pass of Balmaha, of 1,671 tons.After her capture by the Germans the latter fitted her out with powerful Diesel ofl engines of 120 horsepower.Katle.\u201cKatie\u201d is the soldiers\u2019 stuttering song.When little Mary first heard it she was amazed for she did not think that anyone except her little playmate Ruth stuttered.But

World Supremacy for 200 Years x WO hundred years ago\u2014when the sign-painter was an artist of every high standing\u2014the best white lead for any kind of painting was Brandram\u2019s «Genuine B.B.Today, the most fastidious painters still choose this world-famous white lead for their most particular work.Brandram\u2019s Genuine B.B.White Lead The reason is not far to see.Most white leads are produced by one process of corrosion\u2014such as the so-called \u201cOld-Dutch\u201d process, \u201cChamber\u201d process, or some more or less mechanical process.But Brandram's Genuine B.B.White Lead is a combination of different processes.Thus, particles of different shapes and sizes aremerged so as to form a product of wonderfulsmooth- ness, capacity and covering power.Measured in terms of cost per hundred pounds, Brandram\u2019s Genuine B.B.White Lead is the most expensive lead on the Canadian market.But, considered from the standpoint of covering capacity and length of service, it easily outclasses all other white leads, and proves the most economical in the end.\u201cSave the sutface and W.M.PIKE & SON, Rock Island BRANDRAM-HENDERSON vornesve \"nemeine nav It} better fo Och.r

Al Maldan, a New Street EOPLE are apt to be disappointed in Bagdad, but this I8 not unnatural unless one bears clearly in mind that what one sees today is a comparatively modern Turco.Arablan town and not the city of romance of Arabian Nights entertainments that one has probably imagined.That old Bagdad, or rather Dar-es- Salam as it was originally called, was built in the year 763 A.D.by Al Man- sur, the second Abbasid caliph, out of the ruins of the city of Ctesiphon.It saw Îts palmiest days in the time of Caliph Haroun-al-Raschid, the fifth of the Abbasid line, who flourished from 786 to 800 A.D.The city soon after this came to its end.The caliphate was for political rea- sous moved to Samarrah in 886 and when it was brought back again to Bagdad in 892, a new city was built on the opposite, 1.e., left, bank of the Tigris, a mille or two downstream from the old site.Of Dar-es-Salam nothing now remains but a few indistinct mounds, says a writer in the Times of India Illustrated Weekly.It cannot even be said that the new capital of which we have just spoken is the Bagdad that we know today.The site has remained the same, but of the city there is now nothing above ground that can be identified as being nearly as old as 802, Bagdad has suffered more often and more severely from destruction and decay than European or Indian cities, even taking into account such incidents as the great fire of London or the sequence of events that has produced the seven capitals at Delhi, or the cheery habit of the old Roman emperors of pulling down the buildings of their predecessors in order to build finer ones for themselves, Twice has Bagdad been sacked: In 1258 by the Mongols under Hulaku Khan and again in 1400 by Tamerlane.It has been besieged many times and flooded still more often.Such a life would be bound to tell On the constitution even of a well-bullt city and Bagdad was not that.It was built with inferior building material and as often as not with inferior skill, and its sufferings have entirely changed it during the course of time.Few Old Buildings Remain.How thoroughly bad the construction of some buildings has been\u2014more particularly in modern times\u2014may be Judged from the fact that two large minarets belonging to one of the mosques of the city, which were built within the memory of the inhabitants of Bagdad, have already lost their top stories.But this, of course, is an extreme example.On the other hand there Is the Khan Aurtmah, & large brick vaulted building in the center of the city, which is, in its way, as wonderful a plece of construction as one can see anywhere.It was built In 1359 and ts still in use and in excellent preservation.The Marjaniyah mosque, close by, and having as part of its endowments the income derived from the Khan Aurtmah, ie another fine old building.It was built two years before the Khan and is of considerable architectural merit.A few fragments of an earller date are to be found in different parts of the city.Some portions of the old fortification of mustashir, for example, and the eleventh century minarets of Sugal-Ghazl and of the Qamartyah mosque and, at any rate, some of the walls of the old Mustansariyah college (cleventh century) may be mentioned.But there are no other old bulldings ns complete as the khan and the mosque.Beautiful\u2014From a Distance.Apart from these few examples of an earlier period, the Bagdad we know \u2018today ls of the seventeenth or elght- centh and succeeding centuries, which in terms of architecture Is comparatively modern.Judged in this light Through Center of Bagdad.tance it presents a most attractive picture.From miles away in the desert one can see the green mass of Bagdad floating in the atmosphere and as one approaches nearer along the dreary, dusty track, its colored domes and gilded minarets can be distinguished showing above the palms and trees.As one enters the town most of this is lost to sight and one finds oneself in a narrow winding street, The walls on either side are usually very bare.Every now and then one passes a door, sometimes plain, sometimes quite ornate with jolly brass door knockers.Above, from the first floor are pro- Jecting orlel windows, these, too, varying from plain brick and timber to carved wood of great richness\u2014with plerced screens, often of very beautiful design.But be they plain or fancy, they cast a pleasant sbadow on the road beneath and incidentally block out from view except for a glimpse here and there, the domes or minarets which were so noticeable from outside the city walls.Out of the maze of these narrow streets one would never emerge had It not been for the kindness of the Turk, who very thoughtfully cut a broad road right through the center of the town In commemoration of the fall of Kut.Now, In our day, we use it for the main stream of traffic.But the most charming feature of Bagdad is the river front and this alone 1s sufficient to compel one's admiration for the city.Basra In comparison Is all mud and shipping.Amara is pretentious with a row of buildings of uniform design facing on a promenade, which reminds one too much of a terrace on the \u201cfront\u201d of a small seaside resort.Kut Is plc turesque too, but designed on a scale befitting its size and Importance, and with its mosques and public buildings, the palms and the trees and more es- peclally the numbers of delightful riverside houses, with thelr verandas and balconies and their exquisite little gardens overhanging the river, Bagdad has a character and a charm all its own OLD LONDON MADE MODERN Circumstances Under Which the Trav.elor May See All That He Has Traveled Far to See.St.Etheldreda, in Ely place, Hol- born, London, is one of the old city churches about which Dickens declared a full half of his pleasure In them arose from their mystery.That they existed In the streets of London was a sufficient satisfaction to him, but possibly he would have added St.Ethel- dreda to the list of the three famous old churches whose names he admitted were household words, if, on his night walks abroad he had heard the watchman cry the hour, as Etheldreda's watchman does to this day.Old London, lurking up byways and round corners, Is still to be discovered by the curious who carry the lantern of a certain knowledgeableness.The cry, \u201cPast ten, past eleven,\u201d from the watchman of the church with the Saxon name, lying off Holborn with its asphalted pavements and motor buses, bears witness to the assertion.Lawsult Lasted 478 Years.A lawsuit regarding Rhodesian mining rights, which has reached the house of lords tn its fourth year, is quite a legal Infant when compared with some that have preceded it.The Thellusson will case, for example, dragged out in the courts from 1797 to 1857.Another similar action at law, known as the Bishop-Demetra will case, lasted 122 years.Even this, how- over, is not a record, for in 1908 there was settled at Friema a lawsuit that had been in progress since 1430, The Bagdad ls not disappointing.It is, | raising of a dam was the point at issue particularly for a Mesopotamian town, wulte a delightful Place.From the dis- and it occupled the courts for exactly 478 years, WHAT THE WORLD WAR COST Ability to Mest It Consists In Country\u2019s Productive Power Exsrcised to the Limit The ultimate factor In war finance is not the dollar, but what the dollar can buy\u2014at the moment when it is necessary to use it.The economic burden of a war is not borne by capital, that is, the stored-up savings invested in railroads, factories and banks, but by the productive power of the country, engaged in unproductive consumption.For war is waste, ob- Serves the April La Revista del Mun.0.When estimating the financial ability of a nation to make war a consideration of her wealth does not tell the story, just as a consideration of population, which would give Russia the first place, would be altogether false, It is the ability a nation has to master and mobilize her dollars and send them into the trenches and make them fight, that reveals her financial power as a military nation.Germany, with her long preparation, her autocratic government machinery, was able to conscript all production for war purposes, and mass her economic strength almost as speedily as she massed her fighting men, Great Britain and the United States, not belng versed in the science of war did not understand this factor.The economic resources of these countries were not mobilized and massed all at once, but each government was forced to take over more and more of the machinery of production as war needs became Increasingly great.These two countries, with bulldog, but mistaken, determination, clung to the slogan, \u201cBusiness us usual,\u2019 as long as it was possible to do so.The business men of those countries belleved that so long as there was plenty of money in circulation every one would be able to turn to, buy government bonds and thus assist in the business of war.But this fallacy is akin to the common one of mistaking dollars fer wealth, The cost of the war, as nearly as it can be estimated in money, shows the national debt which each belligerent now carries ranges from 4.6 per cent of the national wealth (in Japan) to 80 per eent of the national wealth (in Hungary).How these staggering lla- bilities are to be met is the problem for the future; but the United States, with a debt amounting to 6 per cent of her national wealth of $250,000,000, 000, 1s In the favored position undoubtedly, facing unprecedented possibilities tn credit expansion.Threw but Seven.The quartermaster\u2019s department in Hoboken is anything but a place of Joy.It is where the effects of many thousands of doughboys who \u201cwent West\u201d are sent for distribution.Each pitiful package or bundle or box is checked up and sent to the nearest relative.Occasionally, however, the solemnity of the situation is relieved by the laughter of some returned hero who comes to the depot to announce that he is not dead and to claim his precious belongings.The other day a bully negro appeared, wearing three gold chevrons and a wound stripe, laughing heartily at the thought of him being reported dead.As if any old Hun could kill him! He told a tale of terrible fighting and suffering, all the tinte smiling cheerfully, and allowing as how he hoped his personal effects would be located.A small package, with his name on it, was at last found and opened for final checking.It contained a wad of money and the tools which had helped to enrich the dark man\u2014a pair of dice.There was much laughter, hearty handshakes and back slapping, when the soldier was handed the money and the African golf outfit, which only threw seven.\u2014 New York Sun.Bedouin Bards.The descriptive power and fidelity of Arable poetry in setting forth both the life of the people and the scenery of the clime are remarkable, It conjures up visions of tawny brows, flow- Ing beards, soft eyes, picturesque turbans, pawing chargers, and patient dromedaries.We seem to be there.It is the land of the date tree and the fountain, the ostrich and the giraffe, the tent and the caravan, It ls the home of the simoon and the mirage.It Is the world of the desert and the stars.Hospitality waves her torch through the night to win the wanderer to be a guest.The very picture, embodiment, breath, blaze, of all this is In the lyrics of the Bedouln bards.The richness of thelr language, and something of the character of the people who use it, are shown in the fact that it has 80 names for honey, 500 for the lion, and a thousand for the sword I\u2014Willlam Russell Alger.Take No Chances.The following Interesting bit of information is from Safety Engineering: \u201cNot every one understands how inflammable and explosive chlorate of potash Is.One man learned In a pecullar manner.He was carrying chlorate of potash tablets in a small bottle in his coat pocket; the cork presumably became loosened and fell out.Entering a street car, he knocked the ashes from his pipe, as he supposed, and put it io his pocket.In a few moments there were spurts of blue flame, and the tablets \u2018went off.For a time the man was in danger of being mistaken for an enemy alien, carrying bombs, The mystery of the explosion was solved by finding small particles of glass wedged {n the cloth- log around where the bottle had been.Other than the shock to his own nerves and those of the passengers, the only damage was to his clothes, which were burned badly.\u201d TRUE LOVE LAUGHS AT AGE Shafts of Father Time Powerless to Affect Those Blessed With Mutu al Affection.Ordinarily, we would cuss to the limit a \u201cpeeper\u201d or an eavesdropper.But we have a confession to make on the first count, and we would plead mitl- gating circumstances.Here is the |} story: On a drizzling, foggy night, our way lay down a side street toward home, Several rods ahead there was a shaft of light and when we reached the spot we found a window with the shade half-way op.Wickedly, but not maliciously, we hesitated, stopped\u2014and we peeped.There sat an old man and his wife.They must have been well up to the allotted three-score of years.He was smoking and she was knitting.Still we peeped.Then she looked up at him and smiled and said something.He laid down a book, struggled up from out of his comfortable seat and kind of hobbled out of the room, shortly returning and carrying a glass of water, which he handed to her.And as she drank she held the wrinkled and bony hand of her lover.Then, as she finished drinking, she released his hand and the look she gave hini and the look he gave her were like shafts of sunshine breaking through the murky clouds after days of rain.That picture has haunted us a long time.Somehow she seems beautiful in our eyes, and yet we did not get a \u201ccloseup\u201d of her features.And he, why as we keep thinking of him, we hark back to the days when we once visited a fine old Southern gentleman who possessed the graces of a Chesterfield and the courtesy of a Don Juan.Then we recall the words of a poet which fits the case precisely: \u201cLet Time reach out with his sickle as far as ever he can; although he can reach ruddy cheeks and ripe lips and flashing eyes, he cannot quite reach love.\u201d When a man really loves a woman she will never grow old, and when a woman loves a man he is neither de- creplt nor bowed nor tremulous.She is the same lass he wooed and he 1s always the same gallant young fellow who won her heart and her hand.They are absolutely equals, happy and free.These two lovers are travellng toward the City of Silence, but they are leaving behind a picture never to be forgotten.\u2014Fremont Herald.Patriotic Kansan, I had looked forward to my first glimpse of France with an almost fanatical eagerness, France\u2014the land of dreams\u2014I had visioned it so often! But my first real sight of it, save for a few harbor lights, was not at all the thrilling experience that I bad expected.As we steamed up the river to Bordeaux I stood, with a group of eager watchers, beside the rail, and looked at the flelds stretching along the sides of the river.They were very green, even though it was winter tine; and though I was almost breathless with the wonder of reaching a promised land, that vivid green was the only thing that I could quite comprehend.\u201cI never saw grass like that!\u201d I exclaimed stupidly.One of the men\u2014a newspaper man from the middle West\u2014answered me.\u201cYou ought to see the grass that we grow in Kansas!\u201d he sald.\u2014Margaret BE.Sangster in the Christian Herald.Dog Watches for Auto.Does evolution in the life of animals cause them to take added care in going across a street infested with autos?Some folks says it does.Early in the auto age numerous dogs were killed because they would run out to bark at an auto and, judging the speed by that of a horse-drawn vehicle, they often were run over.This fact can still be noticed In some country districts, where autos are not plentiful.Close students and lovers of dogs in the city say they have often noticed dogs looking to the left and to the right before they start across à street.Of course, not all of them do, neither do all human beings, but the \u201cthinking\u201d dog does.Watch it for yourself.Future of \u201cTired\u201d Nations.The recuperative powers of nations is great beyond belief, and hope is ever present as long as the spark of vitality ls left.The sime superhuman effort that was put forward to repel the Invader willl again be exerted to remedy the damage that has been done; only there must be a breathing space between effort, and in that space lies the greatest danger.This danger, however, 1s more imaginary than real, and whatever means are resorted to by the population to deaden the effect of this reactive period, it soon palls and the sober minds of the populace again attain the ascendency.\u2014Forbes Maga.gine.Extravagance In Combs.The notice, \u201cLadles are requested to remove thelr combs,\u201d appears now on thenter programs in London, because of the vogue of the huge Span- {sh comb among smart women.Some of the combs are of enormous size.The tortoise shell vogue is an expensive one.A light tortoise shell dressing set costs $1,000 or more.Protected His Tonslls.John Lay denies the story that he had his tonsils sunburned by gazing skyward the other afternoon at the airplane that was cutting didos in the sky.He says the machine shifted its position often enough to keep him turning about, so that part of the time his mouth was in the shade.\u2014Slkeston Standard.FOR SALE House, Barn, and 6 acres of Land, on wain road, B.M.D.1.234 miles from Beebe, 244 min \u201cPor Furtbor particniars appis to O.Trepaas © lo Marlington, Que.PRY ott FOR SALE Several High Grade Shorthorn Helfore, 8 iz} , soon due hur r Clydesdale / 1bs., ba four and.ve yrs.Toa, Choate Lee Farm, Rock Island.FOR SERVICE Registered Berkshire Boor Stanstead Prin Sois, Terms borsatior $3.00 0 ne œ wlio L.ABBOTT, Stanstead.WE BUY Your Old and Bro!

High, Constructed of Bowiders of Native Granite, Has Been Erected.On July 4 the Black hills ploneers honored the memory of the late Colonel Roosevelt by paming for him the highest peak in the Black hills.Timed to take place during Home-çoming week for Deadwood and other Black hills communities, this ceremony was a manifestation of the affection which all the residents of that section of the country felt for Colonel Roosevelt.The peak which will henceforth be known as Mount Theodore Roosevelt wis called Sheep mountain or Round Top.It is a detached eminence with an elevation of 6,000 feet, three miles from Deadwood, 15 miles from Wyoming and 35 miles from the Montana state line.It is on the Black Hills forest reserve, and will be the center of a bird and game refuge also dedicated to the memory of the ex-presi- dent.All that section of the country has been intimately associated with various periods in the life of Colonel Roosevelt.The peak which now bears his name overlooks the foothills and valleys of the northern Black hills where the colonel hunted buffalo.In sight from the summit are his cattle range and his trail to Deadwood, as well as sections of Wyoming and Montana where he trailed cattle in his cowboy days.Glimpses of the Belle Fourche, the Redwater and other streams flowing down the valleys attract the spectator.The peak and the territory around it are now embraced in the Belle Fourche irrigation project which Colonel Roosevelt advocated when president.This is making an arld prairle over into fertile farming country.The people of Deadwood built at the summit of the mountain a cairn 50 feet high of bowlders of native granite.T.A.Brown of Spearfish, one of the colonel\u2019s associates of years ago, obtained the permission of the local committee to place in this monument a stone with the cattle brands of his old friend chiseled thereon.The dedication of this monument took place on Independence day, when a tablet Inscribed \u201cIn Memory of Theodore Roosevelt, the American,\u201d was fastened \u2018to one of the bowlders.Some Logic In His Protest.A good story was published In Le Figaro in connection with the news that a monument is belng erected at Tarascon in memory of Alphonse Dau- det, the French novelist who has immortalized that quaint town by his \u201cTartarin.\u201d It seems that the town still numbers among its inhabitants persons almost, if not quite as eccentric as the renowned Tartarin.The story is that a Tarasconnals recently arrived at the local railway station with a mule, and after purchasing a couple of tickets, gravely led the animal up the forty steps by which the platform is reached.On attempting to enter a first-class compartment he found his passage barred.He waved his two tickets into the face of the guard and tried to force his way in but the official proved inexorable, Exclaiming indignantly: \u201cSo many asses travel first class that I fai] to see why a mule should not,\u201d the muleteer stalked away from the train.\u2014*Flan- eur,\u201d in Indianapolis Star.He Knew About It The other evening while doing home work the small son of a minister was arguing and trying to convince himself that \u201ccongregate\u201d and \u201ccollect\u201d meant the same thing, for that was what his teacher had told him, Into the argument, which the min- {ster father could not help but overhear, the said father broke: \u201cWhat's that you are saying?That congregate and collect are the same word?\" \u201cThat's what teacher sald.\u201d \u201cQuite wrong,\u201d replied the father.\u201cYou tell the teacher she Is quite wrong.There is all the difference In the world between a \u2018congregation\u2019 and a \u2018collection.\u2019 \u201d\u2014Columbus Dispatch.What He Wanted.He had a hard day and was grouchy.Besldes, through a long and varied life he had come in contact with so much loquacity on the part of barbers that he was always on the defensive when in a barber's chair.Thus it was that on this particular morning as he entered the shop for a shave and settled himself down he remarked In an Irritable tone of voice: \u201cI don't want a haircut, a shampoo, a massage, a hair tonte, a hair singe or a manicure.Now can you guess what I want?\" \u201cYes,\u201d replied the barber, \u201cmanners,\u201d softly, Great Hawalian Honored, Hawall, n few days ago, paid tribute to the memory of Kamehameha the Great, founder of the Kamehameha dynasty, who, In a serles of wars, brought all the Islands of Iawall under his rule more than 100 years ago.Kama- hameha\u2019s burial place is unknown.the few aged Hawalluns who held the secret having «died.A great street parade was n feature of the centennial in Honolulu, with floats illustrating historic events tn the life of the

Chute With the Hay.One morning, when little Hal Perry was doing chores in his father\u2019s barn, he met with an accident that placed him fn a peculiarly helpless position.He had made his way to the left loft to get down fodder for the stock.\u20acn climbing over the hay he slipped and fell, feet foremost, into one of the chutes.When he came to a stop his bare feet extended fîto the manger where Jim, the only bad-tempered horse in the barn, was bungrily seiz- {ing mouthfuls of the fodder.The boy screamed for help, but no one heard him, for the house wae at some distance, and his voice was muffed.There was nothing that offered a hold; the chute had been made smooth in order that the hay might slide through easily.He tried to gain a purchase by thrusting outward with his elbows, so that he might lift his feet, but it was of no use; he could not even kick.The horse, In pulling away-the fodder, nipped at his toes, \u201cWhoa! Stop that!\u201d yelled the boy.But the horse naturally continued to eat his breakfast, and more than once nipped\u2014as if purposely\u2014Hal\u2019s legs and toes.After a few minutes the farmer providentially entered the bullding and heard hls son sobbing and calling, \u201cFather, come quick! Jim Is eating me.\u201d \u201cWhere are you?\" shouted the fur- mer, \u201cIn the chute.\u201d \u201cBack, Jim!\" roared the man; and the horse obeyed.Mr.Perry hastily turned Jim loose in the yard, and, seizing a rope, leaped + upstairs, Making a noose, he let it down to the small boy, who slipped it under his armas, and ceased to cry a8 he felt himself being drawn safely up.\u2014-Youth\u2019s Companion.GREAT WORK ILL REWARDED Milton Spent Nine Years Writing \u201cParadise Lost,\u201d and Sold the Copyright for.$25.Militon began to write the poem In 1658, and it was ready for the press in 1665.It was published in 1667.Counting that Milton did more or less on the poem up to the time of its publication, it would make nine years consumed in the writing.Milton sold the copyright to a London book seller for £5 ($25) and $25 more when 1,300 coples of the first edition had been sold, and he re- celved an additional $25 for the second and third editions, each of 1,300 coples, The first edition was published in 1667, the second and third in 1668 and the fourth and fifth in 1669.Milton dled in 1674, and in 1678 his widow transferred all the rights in the work for $40.\u201cSo that,\u201d says a blographer, £28 ($140), paid at different times in the course of 13 years, was the whole pecuniary reward which this great performance produced to the poet and his widow.The small editions of the work went slowly, only 3,000 copies being sold in 11 years.\u201d One writer says: \u201cFew elther read, liked or understood it.\" Another said: * \u2018Paradise Lost\u2019 had been printed 40 years before it wis known to the greater part of England that there was such a book.\u201d\u2014 Brooklyn Eagle.Omelets From Turtle Eggs.The sea is a persistent competitor ot the henhouse as a producer of material for omelets.Turtle eggs are eaten in all hot countries.The turtles come out of the sea, acrape a hole in the sand, lay their eggs and cover them up.Some times 150 eggs are found in one sand nest.These eggs are about the size of hen's eggs, are covered with a white, parchment-like shell and, if fresh, have an excellent flavor.They make tasty omelets, or may be frled, but if bolled the white will not congeal like that of a bird's egg.Fresh water turtles also lay edible eggs.There are both hard and soft-shelled turtles in the lakes of Florida and Louisiana, and also in South American rivers, such as the Orinoco.The Orinoco turtles lay eggs extraordinarily rich in oil.The Indians of British Gulana collect 25, (0,000 of them yearly to obtain the oil, Little Nell.Little Nell, or Netty Trent, Is one of the outstanding characters in Dickens\u2019 novel, \u201cThe Old Curlosity Shop,\u201d and one of the sweetest yet most pathetic characters in all of Dickens\u2019 books.Little Nell is a sweet, innocent, loving child of fourteen years, brought up by her old miserly grandfather, who gambled away all his money.Her days were monotonous and without youthful companionship; her evenings gloomy and solitary.The grandfather, heing wholly ruined by gambling, the two went forth as heggars and ultimately settled down in a cottage adjoining a country churchyard Here Nelly died and the old grandfather moon afterwards was found dead upon her grave.Wonder of Wonders, During the \"flu\" epidemic In Sanu Francisco, when all publie meeting places were

Satarday evening last the friends and old acquaintances of Mrs.Martha Place invaded her home, Fineview, on the Oliff road, and took possession.Mrs.Place bad bad an inkling of the affair, and therefore was not taken wholly by surprise.She gave all a warm weloome, and made the time pass pleasantly.All seemed in a merry mood, and the hostess was the life of the gathering.Midnight came all too soon, with games, etc, etec., followed by refreshments.Yearly, Mrs.Place comes to her summer home, and the party is an annual event, always looked forward to by both the young and the elders of this vicinity.The \u2018\u2019home\u2019\u2019 is particularly interesting, it having been built many years ago by Mrs.Place\u2019s grandfather Jonathan,one of the ploneers of Hatley, who came here prior to 1502, with his parents, Jonathan Cox and wife (Naomi Smith) from New Hampshire.A log house was erected, not far from the site of the present one, which was destroyed by fire, and afterwards the house now standing on the left side of the road was completed.This remains about the same today and is fllled with many relics, antique furniture, etc., used in those long ago daye.The road passed at the south of the house wben it was built, but was later changed, leaving the \u2018front door\u2019 at the back of the building which gives the real front side a lonesome effect, but once you enter, and Martha is there, all lone- somenees flies.It was her birthplace and abode until the age of about five years, when her father, the late Joel Cox, built tbe next house a bit farther down the road, and moved thereto.Mrs, Place hae had her home in Boston tor nearly fifty years, but never forgets her friends of \u201cother days,\u201d and those of her kin buried in the cemetery here.She delights to come and renew old memories, yearly, and all are glad to see her.Let us give \u201c\u2018fiow- ers\u201d to the living and not wait until they are gone from our eight.May she live long to enjoy the best and most loving regard of those nearest ber (her grandchildren) as well as all others who know her, so well, as a kind and good friend, and when she goes it will just be \u201c\u2018au revoir.\u201d Mrs.MacRay of Gould has been engaged to teach the elementary classes and took up her duties Monday.Both teachers are boarding at Greenbank.The Homemakers Club held their monthly meeting
