TWO TRAVELERS CAME BACK

According to Army Captain, Mules Returned From That Dim and Undiscovered WW* The regimental morning report is a fearsome document. On it appear all the changes In status of men and animato for each preceding 34 hours. It happened in an Ohio regiment once that two mules feM ill one night. The vetertnartaa gave hjs verdict of hopelean, and the captain of the supply company accordingly made the entry on the morning report: "Two mules, from duty to dead.” But under the care of the grtaxtod old etable sergeant the males recovafad and next morning the captain found them- alive and kicking. Now, entries made on the morning report can never be erased, which made the situation embarrassing for the captain. However, be was a man of resource, and the next day's report carried the startling entry: “Two mules, from dead to duty.”

Shrub May Prove Valuable. Two years before the war, no the story to told, two German chemists applied for permission to experiment with the plant life on a great semi-arid ranch in central Mexico. Their request was granted, with the understanding that they furnish a complete report of their findings. N* chemists worked feverishly, and chiefly on a squat, odorous shrub called ”gobernadotn.” kmg reputed to possess medicinal properties. Suddenly they disappeared; what they had discovered was never known. Now, after experiments with this same desert shrub which IMy have found In drier parts of New Mexico, chemists of the United States department of agriculture believe that they have discovered another alkaloid to add to the Hat which already includes morphine, quinine and cocaine. Its chemical and pharmaceutical properties are now uninvestigation.—Popo far Mechanics Magazine.

THE PASSING OF THE POSTS.

You have read of the world’s greatest war. The only war in history m which soil was destroyed. The “only war in which whole forests were blown into atoms, branch, trunk and roots. _ Hundreds of ships are being loaded with lumber and wood at American ports consigned to Europe. Ask your dealer today for the price of hard oak flooring. Where are our forests of fifteen yean ago? • , Where does the timber line end; where does the prairie line begin? Yet in a few days spring is at your door. Get in your auto and take a ride for observation. Start at Rensselaer and go west to the county farm road to Mt. Ayr. As you cross Curtis Creek one and one-half miles east of Mt. Ayr, you will notice the timber ends anc the prairie begins. A prairie tha stretches away to the state line ant across Illinois and up into lowa and Nebraska. Of course you will see ynma iHIU gtreaks of timber along the river here and there. But ’here east-of -Mt. Ayr ends what, was once that great forest region that went eastward across Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. If you want oak lumber get it now I If you want the last good crop of fine burr and white oak posts, the kind that will last, remember that 1920 is your last chance. You can get on the stone road two miles east of Mt. Ayr. The best oak posts you ever knew. You cannot get them next ye«r._ Many wise men get theirs. Some of you will sure be like the foolish virgins and I come too late. If you will want I posts at all within the next five ’years, buy them now. The prices law not high now, yet they are 83 l-" 3 per cent higher than one year ago. They will be 25 per cent 1 higher within 90 days. Cut out the ‘dealers’ profit; buy direct. ; From producer to consumer. I Only thirty thousand ports left, 1 and there are more than one thousand men who want one hundred posts each. So many of you will give me the long distance call too

NAVY LIBRARY WORTH VISIT

Apartment In States, War and Navy Building at Washington Should Appeal to Tourists. The navy library, in the state, war and navy building, Is a lovely place to soak up atmosphere. Like the building itself, it is thirty-three year* old. When it was built England, France, Spain and Italy presented the marbles of porphyry, sienna and malachitewith which the walla are paneled. Mexico sent the pieces of onyx which encrust the gallery. The round stone over the door came from the ruins of Pompeii. The connoisseur In marble who visits Washington wtH enjoy a call here. In the center of the large room, lined with shelves of weighty tomes on naval matters, there is a large and important green-topped table. Around this table sa( the strategic board ot the Spanish-American war. Here also the naval advisory board for the great war made their secret plans and experiments. Edison, Maxim, Miller and many others conferred over if, with the Windows carefully darkened and a guard before the door. There is a quaint side to the library, too. A little white-haired lads can be seen any time, flitting about the shelves of dark, heavy books, or cutting and pasting busily in her corner by the window. This is Miss Mason, daughter of a former secretary of the navy. She has been in the library 26 years. If you happen In nrtir noou she may give you a cup of tea on one corner of her desk. ' And of all charming places to have an unexpected cup of tea, with a sweet little lady, this quiet nook among the books is recommended.

DATE THERE, THOUGH HIDDEN

information on Peaco Tower Erected In Canada Would Puzzle Average Men to Find. Back to the earliest times when man erected public or memorial buildings is said to run the practice of recording the date so that it remains hidden from casual view, in an ornament of inscription, and can only be read by careftrl study. Why the practice started it is now impossible to say; It looks almost like a playfulness on the part of the first builders, but it has continued down the ages, and its latest example occurs in the great peace tower of the government buildings ir Ottawa. Here one reads the inscription : This B*one was laid h y Edward, Prince of Wales, 3—z September 1. —— — In thia Year of Victory. . Finis Coronat Opvs. — The hypothetical stranger from Mars might reasonably ask when was the Year of Victory ; and if he examined the inscription clbsely hex might discover that certain letters, beginning with the first *l,” are distinguished from the rest by having an indentation under them, and that adding these letters together answered his question in Roman numerals. Most of us, perhaps, would have to take the dictionary to help us translate them, but none the less ILIDDDICLIIIVICnCV means 1919. —Christian Science Monitor.
