' 'ipicri! will be no more forging ofvbe Iade-in-pcrmany trade marjc. I&ggs'nrc .50 cents each in Russia but life Is cheaper than ever. ' The ambition of many a woman now will be to marry an army cook. One of the biggest surprises of the war is that Metz is pronounced "Metz." Only the "worthy persists. Flapdoodle goes, but flapjacks go on forover. The iron cross Is now valued neither for beauty nor for sentimental associations. Lots of men fail from having an overstock of headbone and not enough backbone. European fashions are more .freakish than ever. Cans are being substituted for crowns. If you do not enjoy chilly, days, remember that the "flu" germs also do not like them. Reports that Lenine is again out of danger must be exaggerated. Ho is still in Russia. When Europe Is finally reassembled lot us hope that all the parts will be in the right place. The way to get Johnnie's goat is to give him a Christmas present stamped "Made in Germany." , Naturally the patron regards the user of an "egg snl Itter" as a nrettv ingenious egg beater. Influenza may no longer be a menace, but It is doubtless still uncomfortable to those who have it. About the first thing a good many gourmands are going to do now is to rush out and get a square meal. Christinas nuts may be scarce, but there will be an abundance of the kind that spends lot of money on useless gifts. Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm, the dofonlud war lord, lias none of the dignity of blind Heiisarius or of Napoleon in exile. Spain Is entitled to regard the desig nation "Spanish influenza" as one of Ihe Injustices that never can be fully corrected. Furthermore the Influenza has re sulted in a lot; of us becoming aware of the fact that there is such a word as papdemle. Fanners are learning Iiotv to annlv bsinss methods to farming. But the city man always knew how to "farm" j his business. i pelglum wants complete Independence, and most of us are in favor of giving it anything it wants because It has earned it. The landlord has at least the satisfaction of observing that the tenant wlo considered It cheaper to move than pay rent lias disappeared from the scene. The war has demonstrated that the earth, while large enough for all the nations, is pressed for room for the militaristic type. Tf there were any ilomand whatever for them, a large lot of iron crosses would go on the bargain counter for the holiday trade. The chief reason most persons upend their incomes freely is because 'it takes next month's salary to pay ast month's grocery bill. There may be happy homes in the world, but the happiest are those of the redeemed In Belgium even though .here is scarcely a roof left Undei the new regulations fo- res taurants no garnishments are i!lo wed. Does this include that little spr.- of u'.falfa that flanks some of the meat orders? iJving costs continue upward and many economies are forced, but the Idea of the Indianapolis man who decided to live In a tree and eat corn is still a little novel. Xnd the woman whose appearance attracts the attention of other women doesn't have to worry about whether the' men are looking at her. It is- rather an insignificant body of people in Europe now that doesn't attempt, one way or another, to change the-map of that part of the world. The government can get the people to refrain from wasting food, fuel and some other things-jbut it is practically useless to try to get some people to .avoid wasting time or money.

Certificates for obtaining sugar for canning are no longer needed, but farmers, who desire large supplies of sugar for curing meats, must obtain certificates from the coun ty food administrators. Indianapolis. Conferences are to be held in the 02 counties of Indiana to take indirectly to Indiana homes and Indiana business the realization that the people of the state voluntarily must give up much food that they have eaten, even in war times, if the state Is to do its part in provisioning the starving countries of the world, where "more persons will die this winter perhaps, than during the four years of war." This decision was made at the statewide meeting here of county food administrators, with H. E. Barnard, federal food administrator for. Indiana, and his executive staff. The majority of the meetings will be held Saturday, November 30, at the county seat towns throughout the state. Plans for the "telling of the new food story" were laid in general at the conference. Indianapolis. The Indiana Federation of Clubs nominated a ticket without a single contest for office and voted unanimously to instruct the secretary to cast the ballot for the officers instead of going through with the regular election by Australian ballot, as provided by the constitution. Mrs. John E. Moore of Kokomo was nominated as president to succeed herself. Mrs. .T. C. Gibbs, Crown Point, first vice president ; Mrs. W. A. Morris, Frankfort, second vice president; Mrs. A. V. Roach, Richmond, recording secretary; Mrs. Emogene Taft Lesh, Muncie, to succeed herself as corresponding secretary; Mrs. W. C. Smith, Indianapolis, treasurer; Mrs. Alice Foster McCulloch, Fort Wayne, to succeed herself as general federation secretary; Mrs. S. E. Perkins, Indianapolis, to succeed herself as a trustee. Anderson. One hundred head of spotted Poland China hogs wore sold at public sale, near Pendleton, for a total of $13,101. The highest price for one hog was .$700 for a grand champion brood sow. Three gilts sold for a total of $0-in. The average price for the entire lot was JjU'JK.fiO. Seven auctioneers and two clerks conducted the sale and more than 1,000 persons attended. In Anderson Wade Donnelly recently sold 200 head of hogs, brood sows selling from $40 to $81. Voting stock sold from $10 to $1.5. La'fttyetto. By unanimous vote of the membership, the activities of the Tlppqcanoe county council of defense was ordered suspended. The personno1 of the organization will be held Intact should occasion necessitate action later, but the headquarters will be ; closed December l. in a short address Dean Stanley Coulter of Purdue university said that the records of the home service section of the local council of defense show that more than I,S00 men were called from Tippecanoe county for service in the army and navy. Indianapolis. Indianapolis millers have raised their bid for No. 2 red wheat In wagons from $2.11, the government fixed minimum for this maiket, to $2.15. The government ceased apportioning wheat to millers on this crop, and in the scramble for what i left as the government fills its needs, some millers raised the price. Indianapolis millers are meeting competitive bids. They dare not, however, raise the price of flour above the basis of $2.11 wheat. Columbus. The Bartholomew county corn show will be held January S, 9 and 10. Premiums amounting to more than $500 will be offered in the various classes, there being special classes for cont stants in the boys corn clubs and in the men's five-acre tract competition. Prizes will be also offered in the professional class, this class heretofore having attracted exhibitors from all over the state as well as from neighboring states. Indianapolis. Plans for the fall convention of the Indiana Ice Dealers' association, to have been held in Indianapolis December 4 and 5, were abandoned by the executive committee of the organization because of the influenza situation. Preparations, however, for the annual meeting in March were begun. Jeffersonville. Prisoners at the Indiana reformatory here have in prospect good entertainment during the coming winter. G. A. II. Schideler, the superintendent, believes that if they are kept entertained at night they will do better work and be more easily managed In the day. He is completing repairs of old cellhouse B. recently transformed into a dormitory.

Indianapolis. Ele Stansbury, attorney general of Indiana, has confirmed an opinion expressed recently by Charles P. Tighe, local agent of the United States department of justice, to the effect that under the Indiana prohibition law druggists may not legally sell intoxicating liquors. Mr. Stansbury declares that the state "dryM law is more drastic than many believe. He says that druggists may sell none of the intoxicating liquors, save pure-grain alcohol on a prescription from a reputable physician or for sacramental purposes. Fedora'.' restrictions, the attorney general declares, place still further limitations on the sale of liquors. Mitchell. Owners of stores at Huron, in this county, will not permit customers to enter them on account of the prevalence of influenza among residents jf the village. Instead the proprietors hae thrown open the door of their business places and have put on gates. Goods are brought to the gate when a person desires to make a purchase. The plan is in accord with the view of physicians that the disease is spread in crowds and closed rooms and that fresh air is one of the best methods of combating the malady. Indianapolis. Leaders of women's organizations interested in the proposal to change the constitution of Indiana have conferred with Governor Goodrich on the subject. U Is understood that the women, who formerly ted the fight: for enactment of a statute calling for a constitutional convention, which later was declared unconstitutional, will ask the next legislature to pass a joint; resolution, submitting , the question of calling u constitutional convention again to the voters of the state.

The appellate court affirmed the Lake superior court in restraining Chicago sand companies from taking sand out of the bottom of Lake Michigan within the boundaries of Indiana. The court holds that there is a showing that the sand is worth three cents a yard at the bottom of the lake, and that the Chicago companies have been making profit out of taking it and selling it in Chicago without payment to the state. Laporte. Orders from Washington abandoning the student army training camp at Interlaken, six miles east of Laporte. were received by Capt. S. A. Mulhauser. the commandant. As a result the S00 soldiers were dispersed. The older men were sent to larger Camps and the younger men returned to their local boards to be mustered out. Indianapolis.

Is America to Have Universal Military Training?

W

VSHINGTON. Now that the world war is over and the United States must frame a military policy of permanence for the future, the general

staff of the army is declared to be

should continue despite the cessation of hostilities. In the peace settlement the subject of national armaments is to be dealt with and the belligerents have agreed that' one of the bases of peace shall be a reduction of armament to the least degree consistent with public safety. Proponents of universal military training insist that no scheme of national preparedness for defense could be more consistent with a world policy of reduction of armaments than universal training itself. Universal training does not mean the development of a huge standing army waiting for a fight, but prepares a nation for security in case it is assailed. For this reason men in and out of congress and in the war department who have been urging universal training for years believe the peace terms will serve to hasten the adoption of military training by the American congress at an early date. it is believed that public opinion, which was divided before the war, will favor universal military training, especially if it is complemented by vocational training. The war has been an object lesson that all men might read. It is a lamentable fact that before the war the curse of Young America was that it had no sense of responsibility or discipline a condition for which the parents, were quite as much to blame as their sons. Military training has changed all that. It has also been a liberal education in many of the essentials of life for the young soldiers. It has brought men of all races and creeds together. It has fostered democracy and it has aroused patriotism. And the least observant cansee what it has done to improve the physical condition of the young men of America.

last year, Charles L. McNary was ''f 'cpNATOrXSpointed by the governor of Oregon tol

fill the vacancy until the people could choose a successor at the last election. The short term expires March 4. Senator McNary wanted to run for the long term also. The Oregon election laws prohibited his name going on the ballot twice. It was therefore necessary to run a "dummy" candidate. Ex-Senator Mulky was picked to run for the short term ,and Senator

were elected. Mr. Mttlky Is pledged to resign his olllce immediately, however, to make way for the appointment of Senator McNary to fill out I ho short term. Mr. Mulky will come to Washington this week to take the oath of office. He will occupy his seat n the senate one day and then will resign. Senator Mci'ary will be reappointed to fill out the term and will take his seat on March 4 for the long term without further interruption. On the whole, the language of the Oregon ballot on election day seems to be accurate enough for all political purposes.

Where Dame Nature Is

NATIONAL parks attracted about 450,000 visitors in the 1918 season, according to the olllcial statistics which will appear In the forthcoming annual report of the national park service, department of the interior. These figures

this showing is considered very creditable. Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado) leads the scenic parks in attendance as usual with about S0.0O0

visitors, as compared with 117.1SG in any other park except Mount Rainier,

to the. proximity of Camp Lewis. Hot Springs (Arkansas), which is medicinal rather than scenic, shows an increase of 15,000. Yellowstone (Wyoming),

parks followed by the official 1917 figures: Hot Springs, loO.OOO and Ido.OOO;

Can Hun U-Boat Fleet Clear Up Cyclops Mystery?

WHEN the allies control the German submarine fleet and are punishing its crimes against civilization" and humanity shall we clear up the mystery of the disappearance with all on board of the giant United States collier Cyclops last March while homeward

bound from Itio with a big cargo of manganese, a crew of 350 men and, a number of passengers? As stands now the case of the Cyclops is probably the most perplexing of all the long list of mysteries of the sea. She touched at Barbados and left there March 4, bound for New York, where she was due March 13. The navy department was unable to find so much as a life preserver or

an oar. The vessel has been declared officially lost. The known public facts arc these: The ship's hull was stanch in all respects. One of her engines was out of order and she was proceeding under the other. The weather at the time of her leaving Barbados was normal, and so ?ontinued in that region for many days. She sent out no distress signals. Lieutenant Commander George. Wichman Worley was born in Germany. He legally changed his name from Wichman to Worley. He became a citizen in 1S03. He had a wife and child in Norfolk, Va. He had commanded the Cyclops for ten years. Did her cargo break the Cyclops in two? Did her cargo shift and capsize her? Was she sunk by an internal explosion? Was she sunk by a submarine or a mine? Was she captured by the Germans? Was she surrendered through treachery? Is she afloat in some German port? Or was sh "spurlos verdenkt?" '

preparing a program for submission to congress with universal military train ing for the basis. It is known that the staff is practically unanimous for universal training as a sound military policy and that it is prepared to submit a bill embodying all the best features of former bills on this subject The general staff is known to have influenced the order by Provost Marshal General Crowder that the classification of eighteen-year-old registrants under the present draft law a United States senator for the "short ballot.

This is a falling off from 1017, which was the record year, with 4S7,30S visitors. The decrease Is largely due to the increase in railroad fares, since the tourist travel by private automobile, which now constitutes the bulk of the at tendance, was about the same as In 1917. Considering wartime conditions 1917. This is twice the number visiting which had about 45,000 visitors owing the camps-operated, shows a decrease fell off about 4,000 each.
