A PLEASANT MEETING The Deborah Administrative Council met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Thompson last Monday evening in their regular meeting. Nearly all members were present. Officers for the ensuing year were installed by Mrs. S. Joe Brown and three candidates were initiated into the council. They talked of the grand chapter, which will soon convene at Oskalosa, and also the international meeting of the O. E. S., which will be held in Chicago the 21st and 22nd of ugust. EDITORIALS BIRTH OF A NATION. The infamous play of Thomas Dixon's, known as "The Birth of a Nation," is billed to play here at a local theater, notwithstanding the many protests that have been made against it coming here. We hope that our new council will not allow it to show in our city. Law has been produced and argument made fully sufficient to warrant the play to be prohibited, so council do your plain honest duty. WAR IN MEXICO Our president has ordered the U. S. army to go into Mexico on a punitive expedition only to seek, kill or take Villa, one of the Mexican rebel bandits, who has been fighting the present ruler of Mexico. The United States is seeking vengeance on Villa to punish him because he came across the Mexican border line into the U. S. and killed a few of the innocent citizens of a Texas town, and because of that act he has ordered the U. S. soldiers to capture or kill him. We do not object to the punishment of Villa for killing innocent American citizens, but why don't President Wilson order the U. S. soldiers to capture or kill those in the south that lynch, murder and burn innocent citizens of Texas? Why not deal fair and treat all citizens alike? Why stick the colored soldiers in jim car crows in the south but when it comes to fighting call for the famous Ninth and Tenth cavalry to go first in the hunt for Villa? It was indeed a funny episode that Major Tompkins got into at the city of Parrall. There the Mexicans shot at them and the Americans ran for eight miles until they came to the colored soldiers under Major Young (colored). When in trouble you need the colored man and call for him. When in peace you hate, jim crow and kill him. It is not right to think that he will always be satisfied in his country under this unjust and unpatriotic condition. OBITUARY. Hardy, Iowa.—(Special to Bystander.)—Mr. John Henry, a highly respected colored man, who has lived here alone for several years, died here April 9th. He was born in Newton county, Ga., in 1847, moved to DeKalb, Ill., where his wife died there in 1855, and in 1884 his only child died. He had no known relatives. He was a member of the Baptist church, also a member of North Star Masonic lodge. MARRIED Eugene P. Harris of Montgomery City, Mo., and Miss Selma Mitchell of this city were quietly married at the home of the bride's parents, 625 E. Second street, April 15th, at 8 p.m. Only the groom's brother, I. G. Harris, of this city and a few relatives of the bride were present. Immediately after the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. S. Bates, the couple took the 9:05 train via the Wabash for their Missouri home. Mr. Harris and Miss Mitchell have a host of friends both in Missouri and Iowa. That their wedded life be wholesome and serene and as free from corruption as polished steel is from that rust that sticks to the baser metals are the best wishes for the young couple. a good citizen.

TO THE CLUB WOMEN We trust that our club workers throughout the state have heeded the call issued a few weeks ago for the observance of child welfare week, which was scheduled to be carried out between the 22d and 29th of this month, and have observed "Clean-up Week," among other things beautifying the back as well as the front yards, making their community a healthier and more desirable place in which to live. We further wish to call the attention of our women to the resolution adopted at our last state meeting, which reads as follows: "Whereas the N. A. C. W. have adopted the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day, resolved that the Iowa Federation adopt the same and see to it that appropriate services are held on this day in the various communities; we therefore urge our dear workers throughout the state to give their attention to this."

BRAMMER COUNTY ATTORNEY It is with great pleasure that The Bystander informs its many readers that George E. Brammer has announced his candidacy for county attorney on the republican ticket. Mr. Brammer is a member of the law firm of Brammer, Lehman & Seeers in the Fleming building and is a capable and successful attorney. He is well known to the voters of this county, having been elected state representative to the Iowa legislature two years ago by a handsome majority. In the legislature Mr. Brammer treated the labor organizations with fairness and justice. His attitude on all matters affecting the colored people was fair and friendly. It would take too much space to enumerate all of Mr. Brammer's acts showing his friendly attitude toward his colored constituents. Probably his most conspicuous service for the benefit of the whole race was his zealous support of the bill to appropriate $5,000 for the Semi-Centennial Exposition. He introduced this bill and after it was reported on adversely by the committee secured the adoption of the minority report by the house. The amount of the appropriation was reduced to $3,000 and he championed the bill on the floor of the house and secured its passage by a large majority. The bill then went to the senate, where it died. The colored people of Polk county now have an opportunity to show their appreciation of Mr. Brammer's efforts for the good of our race. He will make a splendid county attorney and merits and should receive unanimous support from our people. We made no mistake when we elected him state representative and we will make no mistake by electing him county attorney. HALLADAY FOR REPRESENTATIVE. We take great pleasure in presenting to our many readers the cut of Hon. A. B. Halladay, attorney at law, who is a candidate for representative from Polk county, subject to the republican primaries in June. Mr. Halladay was born on a farm in Illinois in the year of 1870. He attended the common and public schools, graduating from the high school, and afterward worked his way through college, taking the business, teachers, scientific, classic, civil engineer and oratory courses, and for a number of years thereafter was principal and superintendent of schools. His last position in the line of school work being that of city superintendent. From that position he returned to college and took a two-year law course, graduating in the year of 1900 with the degree of LL. B. from the Northern Illinois Law school. The same year he came here and entered the Drake university law department for post graduate work under C. C. Cole, dean. He was admitted in 1901 to practice in this state and has been practicing in our city ever since. Although a life long republican and for many years an active worker in the party, he has never held or sought office. He has been chairman of a number of republican clubs and served on the county central committee for a number of years, and is at present chairman of the county central committee and is well known throughout the county and state as an attorney and a prominent republican worker, and for fifteen years last past there has not been a republican state or Polk county officeholder elected but what has been in some way or another substantially aided or assisted by Mr. Halladay, and his friends now feel that he is entitled to hearty support for the office he now seeks. His father was an old soldier in the civil war, and young Halladay having come up through the common walks of life, making his way through school by hard work and without financial assistance, knows the struggles of a young man and can fully sympathize with common humanity. He will give all classes and races equal justice if elected. He is an active worker in many lodges and societies. Fully qualified by virtue of his age and experience he would indeed make an excellent representative from Polk county. (Special to Bystander.) Rev. J. R. Roman, ex-pastor of the Second B Baptist church at Marahall-town, is conducting revival services at Mt. Zion Baptist church. Soul- M. British WOOLEN CO. A Real $25 SUIT Made to Order $15 S. E.

Roman will leave for Buxton, Iowa, to take charge of the Tabernacle Baptist church. Rev. M. W. J. Northcross, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, was called to Waterloo to preach the funeral of the daughter of Rev. Broyles. Mrs. Mary Roman of Marshalltown visited with us three days. She was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Northcross while in the city. Mrs. Roman was entertained at the home of Mrs. L. D. Lowery on Monday afternoon, also at Rev. Cato's and Mrs. Anna Boyd's on Tuesday afternoon. OUR CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT. Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa. It is indeed a great pleasure to present to the colored voters of the United States our friend, Hon. Albert Baird Cummins of Iowa, who is one of the formidable candidates for president of the United States. He is the only candidate so far that has carried all the delegates from another state other than their own. Senator Cummins has reunited the NEIMAN FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE. Carl H. Neiman, of the law firm of Neiman & Neiman, whose picture appears above, is one of the candidates for state representative from Polk county, whom The Bystander considers particularly well fitted for the position. Mr. Neiman was born in Tipton, Iowa, in 1887 and came to Des Moines when a small boy, receiving his entire education in this city; first being educated in the public schools, A Real $25 SU $1 later taking the liberal arts course at Drake university and finally graduating from the law department of the university in 1912. He was admitted to practice in the same year and has been practicing in our city ever since. While in the university he was a very active leader in all lines of university activity. He represented Drake in several triangular debating contests with other colleges in Iowa. In all of which he gave a good account of himself. He is a man of high ideals, and is in thorough sympathy with the great masses of common people in all their contests with capital. He has never asked or held an elective office before, although he is a native of Iowa. We feel that Mr. Neiman will be po M nu to pa E. tw No a Be ev ci da da Cl ea en dr ac le on its pla ha th sp th yo ten St ra go Hi progressive and standpat elements together in Iowa and is the logical man to unite all the elements of the grand old republican party together in one solid phalanx. His position on the preparedness question is reasonable and right, on the temperance question his is right, on the tariff question his ideas are good. He is the logical man that the republicans can nominate this year. We recommend him to the people of the United States as a splendidly equipped man for president. of great use to the republican party in the future and we are in sympathy with the movement of the present day to send younger men to the legislature. So all of his many friends are soliciting your support in his behalf, as one of the two members who are to represent Polk county in the lower house of the state legislature next year.

After completion ft was Jaunched in June of that year, achloved a trial speed of 60 miles an hour and was ready for the transatlantic flight whon tie war intervened, John C. Porte, a Heutenant in the ‘Bglish army, who was to have had ‘command of the trial trip across the ‘ocean, returned to his regiment in England and the proposed fight was ‘postponed until after the war. In Oc- tober, 1914, however, under what was reported as contract made contlm ‘gent upon England's entrance into a war, the Amorica was sold to Great Britain and was shipped to that coun: try aboard the steamship Mauretania. ‘While news concerning the British use of the hiige airship has been censored, ‘Americans returning from abroad have asserted that the great hydro- acroplane has proved all the claims made for it prior to the war. ‘Ten Times Power of Others. ‘The new America will be ten times the power of the old one, will be of design different from anything ever constructed, and will be by far the largest airship of any nature ever ee “ PE built. While the details of the con- struction have not been made public, ft ie understood that the new craft will be equipped with six 12cylinder motors of 300 horsepower each, giving f total power to the airship of 1,800 horsepower. ‘This power, it 1s belfeved, will be easily capable of sending the America through the air at a speed of 100 miles ‘an bour. 5 In addition to attaining the highest speed yet reached by any large atr- craft, the America will be enabled by {te large size to carry without the slightest trouble a crew of six per- sons, fuel, instruments, provisions and equipment necessary for the proposed fight. In his letter to Mr. Hawley, Mr. ‘Wanamaker told of his insistent desire to cross the Atlantic, in the beltet that {t would bo:the first step in the evo- Tutlon of commercial alr lines con- necting all the continents. His letter fm part fs a8 follows: “Pursuing my purpose to build an ‘afrcraft that will cross the ocean, the ‘America Trans-Oceanic company’ was Incorporated, and the company, acting for me, has placed en order with the Curtiss Aeroplane company for a new craft that will have more than ten times the power of the old one. It will bo of special design, entirely dif- ferent from any aircraft heretofore built, and espeeially adapted for allght- ing on and arlsing from rough seas, and therefore eminently fitted for the transatlantic Sight.

C.—The long fight against the foot-and-mouth disease {s over. The secretary of agriculture has issued an order removing all foot fand-mouth quafatitines and restric tions against the shipment and move ment of live stock. The order spect tically removes the quarantine from a ‘small territory in Christian county, IL, the last area which was under suspleton. Along with the removal of this local quarantine, the various fed: eral orders restricting shipment of cat tle are rescinded, so that dealers can now ship thelr cattle as before the first quarantine was imposed. Upon notification that the United States is freé from the disease, all foreign governments which have placed embargoes on American cattle are expected to remove these em: bargoes, so that cattle raisers will then be able to resume shipments to these foreign countries, ‘The magnitude of the work of eradi- cation and control carried on by farm- crs, shippers, and the state and foderal governments {s shown by the fact that before being controlled, the disease had gained a temporary footing in 22 states and the District of Columbia. The disease appeared and was controlled in 269 different counties. ‘The Smportance to the stock-raising industry of eradicating foot-and-mouth disease may be judged from the re- sults of this plague in Denmark, where the disease appeared at about thc same time that it broke out in the United States. The area of Denmark {s approximately equal to that of the three England states—Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. It ts, however, @ great dairying country, and it has been estimated that the losses in milk in one year caused by the foot-and-mouth disease have amounted to approximately one-third ‘of the total cost of eradicating the ‘pestilence in 22 states of this country. ‘The Danish authorities were unable to ‘earry out thelr former policy of slaugh: ter, atid were compelled to resort to such measures of control as could be established by quarantines and other restrictions, ‘As a result of better understanding between the state and national govern: ments, representatives of the depart. ment belleve that many of the ob- stacles ‘which confronted the authori- tles in the past outbreak, would not be encountered in dealing with any future occurrence of the disease.

Of four others a wing only has been given up. Arrange ments are now being made for the to- tal closing of five more, It fs true that not quite all of the diminution in criminality can be as cribed to the war, for the process has been going on since 1904, undoubted: ly as a result of the greater intelli genco of British legislation, In ther last report the commisstor- ers of prisons ascribed the decrease ‘in eriminality to three chiet causes— namely (1) the drifting into the army of a considerable section of the pop- ulation from which the criminal classes ordinariiy come; (2) the now demands for labor and the greater fa cilities for making a livelihood by hon. est means; and (3) the restriction of the sale, of liquor. Experts have no doubt that it is the Inst of these three causes which has been most influex: tial.

JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY Easter's Message of Hope HKEE days have passed since the death of Jesus on Calvary, "Gray dawn is streaking the sky as they who so lovingly matched him to his burying are making their lonely way to the rock-hewn tomb in the garden." All is still as their sandaled feet sweep through the dew-wet grass, the sweet spices in their arms performing the chill air. As they go they say one to the other: "Who shall roll the stone from the sepucher?" That question many hearts in every age since have asked. Sooner or later we all make the pilgrimage these loving women made to the place where rests all that is mortal of our loved ones, and there arise in our hearts the great questions about what is beyond the tomb. These questions lie like heavy stones between us and our departed dear ones, and we say: "Who shall roll away the stone?" The message of Easter is an answer. The inspiration of Easter is that we, too, find the stone rolled away. We are often told that we err to sorrow for our loved ones gone, but this is not true. Jesus sorrowed greatly with those who had met such love, and he sorrowed with us sorrow as those who have no hope, but he recognized that it would be unnatural not to grieve, and un- EAST VOICE of Sing in, The long, The cross, The sealed tomb ye No longer to be burd EART of M So huma For earthly life For love of us, as one His lifted lips touch OUL of Ma O soulv Sing! sing!

W WHEN this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on im mortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory, O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" for when the Christ, nailed to the Cross on that far distant day, turning to the thief beside him cried: "Today shalt be with me in paradise," he was opening the door of heaven to all the wind, storm-tossed world; and as the angel of God came and rolled away the stone on that Easter morning of long age, he so comes to every worm, bodily casket and sets the soul free to find glory, perfect life, perfect happiness in some fair haven of God. And we xue our souls with wondering where that haven may be. We reach out eager hands and cry: "What is immortal life?" We are living in eternity today—you and I. We are so close to heaven that at times faint echoes of its music reach us—faint, far-off, wafeted by some close, sweet vibration between our heart and the heart of the eternal God—faint, but sure! And we still our souls in wonder and in awe, for we understand with a knowledge born of God that we have caught a tune from the heavenly choir, and have for a holy instant, verily felt the touch of God. And as the lily, pure and spotless, pushes its way from the dark earth and unfolds into glorious life, so one day, from out all these earth environments, shall the soul unfold itself into broader life. Task That Has Been Given Every Man and Women Until the End of the World. It was a clear and definite issue that was fought out in the forty days in the wilderness; it has been fought on the earth since; it is the one fundamental issue in history. It is often concealed by other and more obvious issues; there are those who deny that there is any such issue; what is called civilisation seems at times to have disproved its existence until civilization suddenly gives way and men find themselves standing on the edges of appalling abysses, and realize that under the fairest landscape there sleep today, as there slept a thousand years ago, the forces that rend and wreck in thirty seconds the work of thirty centuries. Time and beauty and the growth of oneself have changed the form of the age-old and unending battle which all men must fight to keep their souls alive. It is a beautiful world; it is crowded with absorbing remind ourselves that Jesus would not have us put away all signs of those gone out of sight; that he would not have us live as though they had never been with us. "They are not dead; they are just away." This is one stone rolled away from our sepulchers. Here we desire to do many things which the limitations of the flesh prevent. But when the fleshy limitation is removed our love, our memory, our aspiration, our results of richness, all those real qualities which make us ourselves, are free to do and to be. One of the highest insements to a spiritual life now this fact that we are making here our status there. Death is the commencement of greater effectiveness for life. That stone is rolled away from our sepulchers. It is also true that Christ gave ground for believing that our loved ones gone are still with us. He told his disciples that where they were, there he would be in the midst of them. He spoke of a home he had gone to prepare and of coming to take them to it. Enframe this as one may, the picture is the same—reunion with the loved ones gone. You come home from a trip abroad. As you draw near the pier the hands of loved ones wave to you, the stainer ties up to her and you are again in the arms of those you love. So it is at death. You have been long away from those at home, but the vessel that has carried you—your body—ties up some day to the little green wharf on some quiet hillside and you again are with your dear ones. There rolls the last stone away. Rev. John Britton Clark.

The wooded hills, the mystic canyons, the flowered meadows, the home-building birds, the sparkling dewrops on grass and flower awaken, under the warming rays of the rising sun, into a world beautiful, made sweeter by the presence of him who is risen from the dead. And man, looking up from his work, rejoices. Therefore, however wild and steep your path may be; however mighty the sweep of sinful propensities and habits; however dark and threatening the clouds that cover your path, heart and press the Easter message is for the world. It puts a song in the individual heart. So as nature responds to the touch of spring, may mankind everywhere enter into the spirit of Easter. Albert M. Ewert interest; it is a better world than it used to be because more men and women are fighting the battle for their souls; in the future it will help them through wiser laws and more whole some conditions to make the fight. But to the end of the world every man and woman must fight for the soul. No change in institutions and laws, no refinement of ways of living, no loveliness which art can bring to humanity, will ever win the battle once for man and woman. In this age is fighting today, and every man and woman must pass through that struggle. It is inherent in the very nature of a stage of life which, through temptation and struggle, offers us the strength and purity which alone make God and heaven credible and real—From the Outlook. The Man Worthy. There is nothing more to be esteemed than a manly firmness and decision of character. I like a person who knows his best, and who knows what to do, once what, in given circumstances, is to be done, and does it—Haslett. NIGHT OF HORROR IN THE TRENCHES Be careful, my friends.

MEN'S NERVES SHATTERED Quiet of Day is Broken by Terrifeo Bombardment That Makes the Earth Rock Like Ship in a Storm. Paris—The Paris Journal prints a most graphic account written by a French lieutenant, in simple but whid language, of his experience during a haste in the department of the French lines recently by the Germans: "The day was quiet," writes this officer. "Towards evening we received a broadside of rife fire, which dislodged a few sandbags. Then everything was quiet again. "At nine o'clock I went below to my dugout for something to eat. Our little table was already set, and the steaming coffee was just placed before me when suddenly there was an explosion that shook the earth beneath our feet and scattered pieces of rock and clay in our room. "It's no use," said one of the men. "I see we are not going to be permitted to eat." "I climbed back into the trench, and not a sound was heard. "t'Where was the explosion?" "To the right, answered a voice in the dark. 'Be careful; they are sending us those 150-millimeter shells. There's one coming now.' "I crouched down against the wall and in a twinkling fifty meters of the trench were ground to dust. Sparks flew and dark, gaseous fumes eclipsed the blackness of the night. Then came another shell on its murderous mission, tearing up the earth and accompanied by deafening thunder. "Things began to look serious. Some one shouted:" "Lieutenant, there is no sense in your standing there and risking your life!" "The man was right. I returned to the dugout. The bombardment continued, like one continuous roll of thunder, heavy rock, loosened by the motionless fall at my feet. "And yet we hear, says one of my men, that they are short of ammunition." "I was getting tired of this. We had to answer those fellows. I asked the telephone operator to connect me with the commander." "There is no answer," said the operator. "The wire has probably been shot away." "I scribbled something on a piece of paper and handed it to one of my young men. "The telephone is disconnected, my friend. See that you get this to the commander. Have a little brandy?" "If you please." "He smiled, saluted and was off. Fifty meters off he fell with a shot in his neck. "The bombardment grew more intense. Oh, a what night! Our trenches seemed to sway to and fro, like the deck of a ship in a storm. The air was full of sulphur fumes and breathing became difficult. Death surrounded us. I wondered how many of my men were still alive! And the air was still so thick that if he made a charge on our trenches? I nerved myself to remain calm. How I would have liked to lay down and sleep! Strange, that the roaring of shells through the air always produces drowsiness. I fought against this weakness. Courage returned when the bombardment seemed to slacken for a moment. However, we only deluded ourselves, for the shells were coming faster and faster and thicker and thicker. I tried to figure out the caller of the shells, but was unable to find them. I was stuck in the wall of the trench. If we could only sleep and not wake up again, so as to be out of this hall! "Be careful, my friends. Now that GIFT PACKAGES FOR Thousands of gift packages lying in German Red Cross. These parcels are sent to the fighting men in the trench. CABINET SPLITS ON SMOKING President Wilson, Who Does Not Smoke, Could Cast' the Deciding Vote. Washington.—The addition of Mayor Baker of Cleveland as secretary of war splits the cabinet evenly on the subject of smoking, giving President Wilson the deciding vote. Secretary Baker is a pipe smoker. Prior to Baker's arrival the cabinet antimunisers had control by a vote of 6 to 4. As the THE BYSTANDER the bombardment has ceased we can expect the enemy.' A few of the men arose with an effort. They looked at me be bewildered and did not seem to understand. Their faces were the color of the earth. "Ab, what was that? A few meters off, at the entrance of the trench, I saw soldiers like so many digging in the earth. They had thrown their guns aside and their only aim now was to save their comrades, who were buried under the earth by the collapse of the walls of the trench. I saw Lieutenant Bauties there giving orders. "Eight poor fellows are lying under there for almost two hours now, he shouts. 'Only by a miracle was I saved from being there too. It seems impossible for us to reach the men. What terrible night this has been!' "And with a sort of tired laugh, he added: "And to think that such an awful experience as this has been is never even mentioned in the reports." ROMANCE OF COAT BUTTON Left With a Note Where It Was Found Button Brings a Wedding. Gardner, Kan—When James H. Newston, a banker of Williamstown, Utah, punctured a tire on his motor car he was forced to lay over two days in Edgerton, near here. While walking along the road Newston found a button of a woman's coat. He wrote this note and hung it and the button on the fence post: The owner of this button has found a place in my heart. Laura Ellsworth, a schoolteacher, the owner of the button, found it and the note. She took the button and left this message: Tomorrow this button will be worn over my heart. Newston found the second note. He was introduced to Miss Ellsworth. He proposed, was accepted and married. He is now on his way to San Francisco on his honeymoon, driving overland in his car. PROPOSE A MARRIAGE TRUST Justices of the Peace in Indiana Who May Get Together Upon Ceremonies. Jeffersonville, Ind.-Some of the six justices of the peace of Jefferson, who fight among themselves for "marriage couples," are proposing a combination whereby all six would establish central marrying parlers and would pool and divide equally all their earnings. The chief benefit would be the elimination of the "runners," with whom the justices now split their fees, which only in exceptional cases amount to more than $3. One result of the competition has been the cutting of fees. Many eloping couples now get married for $1. Secret wedding generally cost the elopers a little more, and a $25 fee shows up once in a white. LIGHTED MATCHES ON FEET Wild Man of Northwest Has Horny Calluses on His Pedal Extremities. Hiawatha, Kan—Because he allowed young men to come to his dugout and gamble, Guy Williams, the wild man of northwest Kansas, has been placed in the Brown county almshouse. Williams is sixty-four years old and for the past six years has been living in a hole dug out of the side of a hill along Roys creek, about ten miles northeast of town. He went almost without clothes and seldom wore shoes, even in the coldest weather. His feet had become so callous that it was impossible to see an scratch match on those shoes his bare feet. He had refused all offers of help and insisted on living a solitary life in the hole which he had dug for himself.

RESCUED BY TORPEDO BOAT Searching for Submarines of Italy's Foe, Hydroplane Grows Wrong and Drops Doherty to Water—Seeks Further Adventure. Milan, Italy.—William Ellwood Doherty, a young American whose career as an airman has abounded in perilous adventure, has just added to his a light for life lasting more than a list of life lessons; the wretched waters of the Adriatic. Before he had been stranded in the same sea in midsummer and collapsed from thirst and heat. This time he had the other extreme of weather, battling with a northern gale, and was rescued when on the verge of exhaustion. Austrian submarines were infesting the Adriatic while the Italians were sending troop ships across to Albania. Doherty set in a Curtis hydrplane to patrol the passage and give warning of danger. He left Tartano at two o'clock in the afternoon with an Italian helper. As daylight was falling the motor broke down, and the hydrplane dropped to the water. Italian vessels were in sight, but did not see Doherty's signals for help. With darkness the wind rose and waves broke over the tiny craft, Doherty tore away the drip pan of the machine. The two cold, hungry, watersoaked men used it to ball with. By working one at a time without stopping they were able to keep afloat, although every high wave gave them a fresh drenching. They had lost their scant provisions in the descent to the water, and in the tossing of the hydroplane their cigarettes and matches went overboard. The weather became intensely cold. In the respite from balling the airman who was free kept lookout for a ship. One came in sight several hours after dark, but passed on, not seeing the smoke bombs with which the aviators tried to hall it. Throughout the night and all the next morning the men relieved each other with the drip pan baller. Finally, too tired to work longer and despairing of rescue, Doherty curled up in the end of the craft. Sleep overcame him, but he had nightmare and was roused when a wake of the plane nearly spilled him into the sea. Again he took his turn at bailing. The specter of death was before the eyes of both men when night fell once more. Then a torpedo boat headed toward them appeared on the horizon. They exploded more smoke bombs and wildly waved their signal flags. This time they were seen. The torpedo boat approached, lowered a small boat and rescued men and wreck twenty miles from shore. Italian craft had been looking for Doherty and his companion ever since the machine failed them. Allowance had not been made for the wind, which blew the fortunates seaward, and the search was confined to an area comparatively near shore until the torpedo boat struck out into the open. Naval commanders who had engaged in the early search reported the first night that Doherty and his companion probably were lost. Their return to shore was hailed as little short of miraculous. Doherty recovered within a day from the effects of his exposure. Substitute him over his patrol in the Adratic, over his decision to shift his field of activity. He has gone to Paris and London in search of further adventure. No Animal Heads In Malls Reno, Nev.-Coyote and wild cat heads by carpost post proved too much for the patience of Fred L. White postmaster of Reno, and he took the question of the right to make such shipments by mail up with the postmaster general. He has just received information that such articles are not malicious and cannot be delivered if mailed. The heads have been coming in late in large quantities from different states and have been sent in to the state university for examination for rabbits. THE TREES Fine for Shade or Ornamentation. ORCHIDS EASY* TO GROW By L. M. BENNINGTON. Contrary to the general opinion orchids are by no means difficult to grow to their fullest perfection. An- Cattleya Dowiana—One of the Rarest Orchids. Other prevalent error is that the orchid is exclusively a "rich man's flower." This is by no means true. Many of the varieties are relatively inexpensive, and it is possible by the expenditure of a very limited amount of money to have a collection of superlative beauty. They require the proper kind of a house, the correct materials in which to grow them, care in watering and fertilizing, and care in providing that must be given to every growing thing, but given those, the orchid will reward the grower most abundantly. Orchids require plenty of light and Cattleya Edwardi—a New Hybrid Orchid. Beds of geraniums are exceedingly ornamental, provided they are kept in tidy condition. This can be done by keeping all flower trusses picked off. If the faded flowers are allowed to remain I know of no plant that can take on a more unsightly, slovenly look. Of course all the buds in a truss do not develop at the same time, and one does not like to destroy undeveloped flowers, but the clusters can be made to look clean and attractive by pulling away from them all flowers that have passed their prime and taken on that dripping look which detracts from the slightly appearance of everything else in the bed. Unless one has a great number of plants this can be done in a short time. It will be found much easier than going over the bed and cutting out all the faded flowers as is sometimes advised. STORING MANURE FOR GARDEN BY LIMA R. ROGE. A common practice is to manure the garden every year, late in the fall or before planting in the spring, no further attention being given. This practice, however, is not the best. The manure for the garden should be kept in a large box with a lid or so screened that files cannot enter it. Manure heaps are the natural breeding places of these pests and if they are allowed to remain near the house, uncovered, will prove a great nusance. A good plan is to use a very close wire screen to fit the frame with things to cover the box. The manure should be needed often on the ground that the air, but must not be exposed to the full sun; the proper shading of the orchid house in summer is very essential. No other flower so persistently appeals to the refined sense of those to whom orchids have become a passion, the exquisite perfume varying from the faint, delicate fragrance of some of the dendrobiums to the delicious and almost overpowering odor of the aeriales and epidendrons. Orchids can be grown in pots, pans and baskets in fibrous peat, with proper drainage. While they require shading in the summer, dark houses should be avoided, and air should be admitted whenever possible. Cypripedium is one of the most interesting branches of the orchid family and offers a bountiful field of enjoyment to the amateur. It is composed of many varieties and an almost unlimited number of hybrids of bewildering variation in form and color. They are of the easiest culture and Odontoglossum Grandi—"The Baby Orchid." The Plant Has Yellow and Brown Blossoms. Odontoglossum Grandi—"The Baby Orchid." The Plant Has Yellow and Brown Blossoms. bloom in the greatest profusion. This class is extremely low in price and offers untold enjoyment to the orchid lover of limited means. The odontoglossums are the most extensively grown of all orchids and require an even, cool moist temperature throughout the year. They are among the most easily cultivated, and will reward the grower bountiful. The flowers are fairly bewildering in their beauty and their unlimited variety of color and markings. Many of them are very low priced, making it possible to have a very extensive collection. water from the clods or the sprinkling pot may penetrate to all portions of it. If kept in a box a spout should be placed in one corner, at the bottom, so that the water may drain into a sunken barrel. This will supply liquid manure which can be used at all seasons when vegetables and flowers are growing. The manure in the bottom should be worked over once or twice a month, working the bottom to the top so that the entire heap may rot. Manure may be kept in this way if the boxes are placed at the farthest end of the garden and if surrounded with vines their presence will never be noticed from the dwelling. KEEP SOIL LOOSE ON TOP By G. GEOFRY. Never allow the soil to become hard and baked; stir it frequently and as deeply as possible without disturbing the roots. Will increase its capacity to hold moisture, which is very necessary to the welfare of the plant. Soll around leaf crops must be kept loose to cause them to grow rapidly, which will make them tender. GROW ORNAMENTAL GRASSES When planning flower beds and borders do not overlook the claims to beauty of the ornamental grasses. They are easy to grow, beautiful and graceful during the summer, and they can be cut when it is "bloom" for decorating the house in the wintertime. Give them well-drained soil and plenty of water.

It is a most wonderful organ and has the smallest possible time to rest, in its continuous activity from the beginning of life—even before birth—until the very end. It is a most susceptible organ and is influenced by nearly all our activities and emotions. If we run or if we weep; if we are angry or if we are in love the effect is registered in some change in the heart's activity. There is almost no disease process which does not temporarily affect this organ; some of them seriously effect its efficiency. Since we are inclined to attribute trouble to the factors of which we know most, it is not surprising that people are apt to think that the heart is out of order of offener than it is. As a general thing the people who have heart trouble are the ones who speak least about it. It is usually folks who want to create sympathy who have the weak hearts. Most folks want to be assured that they will live out the allotted number of days and very few of them will go about with a smile on their faces telling their friends that they have an incurable malady, meaning in other words that have the death warrant already signed. There is a large class of men who, by some error or other, are allowed to gain a living by coming in contact with people in a most trying time, to cover up their ignorance of real conditions lay every burden of illness on the heart. It is an awful fate to doom one to, but the trusting, nature of man makes him feel that no one would tell him an awful thing without indisputable evidence. But with some classes of human vultures the more terrible the name the greater credit they expect to gain by pretending to remedy the condition. When your physician tells you that your heart is affected it is a pretty fair idea to have him consult with some one else of your choice in order that you not be deceived into a lot of worry and anguish which will unfit you for duty. Many people have been tortured to death by men who were either ignorant or unscrupulous. Many of these weak hearts, in people who do everything they want, but spring the weak heart as an excuse to escape work, are the results of a morbid idea to create sympathy and awe. It is time to discard such or get a more genuine alibi. ROCK ISLAND, ILL. One of the interesting events of last week which occurred in our city was the dramatic recital given by an Iowa artist. It is with great pride that we have had the pleasure of not only hearing but having in our city a young artist whom we feel justly proud and one who is rapidly making a name for herself in the field of oratory and dramatic art in the person of Miss Etta Luvenia Vaughn, former student of the Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, Mass., and the talented and only daughter of Mrs. A. J. Vaughn of Des Moines, who is filling a number of concert engagements in the larger cities throughout the middle west. This talented and promising artist appeared in our city last Wednesday evening in dramatic recital, assisted by our local talent, at Wayman A. M. E. church to a very appreciative audience, and after hearing an artistically arranged program, which was well delivered, she not only scored a decided triumph, but by her charming and pleasing manner made a very favorable impression upon the exclusive people of Rock Island, Ill.
