COULD HEED CALL OF WILD:
Being His Own Boss, This Lucky Man
Listened to Appeal end Hied Him
to Happiness.
A flock of goose, northward5 hound,
honked wildly in their flight. Ilis feet
on his desk, his Window open to the
breezes of the morning, he hoard the
call. For an hour he sat amid the con- j
llicting sounds of a great city hurrying !
about its work. But his thoughts were
miles away. His eyes were dreamy. >
The spell of the wild was upon him.
He wandered in fertile fields awak-'
ing to renewed life. He beheld the |
meadows lush with grass. He sat be- j
side wide flowing rivers and tiny '
brooks whose waters rushed in foamy j
splendor from hilly heights above. He
wandered to wooded slopes, with trees
a-bud and wild flowers peeping from
beneath dead leaves. A peace was his
which seldom came in his workaday
existence in the land of pavement and
beehive dwellings. He dreamed on.
Brook trout in speckled splendor rose
to his captivating hook. Camp fires lit
the darkness of his dream night. The
odor of burning pine wood and of siz
zling trout and bacon filled his nos
trils. He ate food such as his city
chefs had never learned to cook, with
an appetite his city stomach had long
since lost. In a single hour he dreamed
more happiness than had been his for
a decade.
He closed Ills desk. Another hour
found him grubbing in the recesses of
the attic. By noon, clad in beautifully
ancient garments, with a satchel in his
hand and a fishing rod carefully in
cased in a waterproof cover under his
arm, he was at the railroad station. A
half hour later he was on his way to
the wilds. And a smile such as he had
not smiled in months graced his fea
tures.
Lucky man! lie was his own boss.—

SANDEA33 SAVE MANY LIVES
Italian Authorities Must Be Given
Credit for Resourcefulness in
Modern Warfare.
No belligerent has shown more re
sourcefulness than the Italians in de
vising novel means of offense and de
fense, says a, writer in Wide World
Magazine, ine Italian army was me
only one to enter tlie war with a trench
helmet and a steel chest protector, and
it is now provided with a more efficient
body shield than is possessed by any
other of the warring nations.
Early in the war it was discovered
by the Italians that many lives could
be saved in skirmishing at close quar
ters if the soldiers carried or pushed
bags of sand in front of them, and the
present body shield has been an out
growth of that idea.
They are made in the one-man and
two-man type. The former are worn
by infantry advancing in the open, at
tached to the shoulders by a pair of
light steel arms, and are long enough
to protect the head and vital organs of
a man standing erect. Lying at full
length, or even crouched, it covers him
completely. Each shield is pierced with
a small, round eyehole and an oblong
loophole for firing from, both of which
may be closed by a sliding door when
not in use.
The two-man shield is principally
used in wire cutting. It is carried on
the back of one man, who may also
work his rifle from a loophole in the
top, while a second man works a long
wire-cutter through a hole at the bot
tom. It is held up by short legs if the
first mao desires to move independ
ently.
Patrictic to Eat Coconuts.
Is coconut pie an essential? the Wall
Street Journal wants to know. No,
but gas musics are. It is a far cry
from coconut pie to gas masks, but
we are enabled to indulge our appe
tites in the'ome and supply the other
through a single operation.
Gas masks contain a certain brand
of charcoal which is an absorbent of
poison gas, aud it has been found that
duces a charcoal superior to aJJ others.
For this reason the government has
placed the humble coconut on the list
of essential products and our .friends
on the Island of t’orto Ilico are urged
to ship as many as they can.
When eating a piece of coconut pie
or any other delicacy containing coco
nut you are enabled to do so with an
easy conscience. The charcoal made
from the shell of the coconut you eat
may be saving the life of an American
soldier “somewhere in France.”
Auto Replaces Dogs.
To a “choerhako,” which, in the ver
nacular of Alaska, signifies an indi
vidual who, in the days of the storied
West, would have been called a “ten- j
icefoot,” falls the distinction of intro- j
during trapping de luxe into the I
North.
Harry Beagle, not long from the
“outside,” conceived the Idea of set
ting out on a trapping expedition In an
automobile instead of by dog team.
Frank Burgess went with him. Load
ing their outfit into a light car, the
pair set out for the Big Delta country,
despite snow and almost impassable
roads.
So far as Is known at Fairbanks, the
dea has proved a success.
Waldansians in the War.
“Over 4,000 Wuldcnsian soldiers are ]
with the colors,” writes an Italian pas- j
tor. Five pastors are chaplains, and j
the government has appointed a chap- j
lain for the Protestant prisoners in-!
terned in Italy. Already a number of j
Waldensian officers and soldiers have
given their lives for liberty and jus-!
tice. j
DEEM PICTURE OUT OF PLACE
British Authorities Request Removal
of Kaiser’s Portrait From
Tonga King's Palace.
Germany's interesting relations with
the little kingdom of Tonga in the
South Pacific are recalled by recent
incidents there. A few years back a
life-size portrait of the kaiser mounted
within a massive gilt frame was pre
sented by the German government to
King George Tuboo II, the present
ruler of the archipelago. Forthwith
this picture adorned the walls of the
wooden palace at Nukualofa, the cap
ital of the kingdom. Germans—who,
shortly before the war, were rather
conspicuous in Tonga—were wont to
admire the painting when they came
to pay their respects to King George.
Moreover, close at hand were busts of
Emperor Frederick of Germany and
Prince von Bismarck. So delightfully
informal in many ways is the Tongap
court that the busts did excellent serv
ice as hat racks on festive occasions.
But not so with the present from the
“All Highest.” But alack for the big
picture of the kaiser in little Tonga!
After the war had been in progress for
some time the fact of its existence and
whereabouts came within the purview
of the British government and that
government requested the Tongan gov
ernment to remove it from the palace.
The pith of this request was that Ton
ga is a British protectorate. But not
withstanding Tonga is a British pro7
tectorate it is the last independent
kingdom in the Pacific and it prides
itself on having not only a monarch
but a cabinet and a parliament.—New
York World.
HISTORY WROUGHT IN STONE
Marvels of French Architecture Which
the Uncivilized Hordes of Ger
many Would Destroy.
In architecture France is supreme.
It well may be said that without
France there would have been no Goth
in ornVn'tnnfiinn Tlin nnthnrlrnlc nf
France are absolutely unrivaled, says
Cass Gilbert in the World's Work. One
has only to mention the names of No
tre Dame de Paris, Bourges, Reims,
Chartres, Rouen, Amiens, Beauvais and
Coutances to bring up memories of mir
acles of creative design which no
words can fittingly characterize or de
scribe.
Wonders of constructive ingenuity
as they are, they have a yet more su
preme significance as evidence of the
refinement and taste of a people in*
stinct with emotion and ennobled by
idealism in its most exalted phase.
These great buildings give expression
to the spiritual aspirations of a great
people.
They are constructions of superb
scale and fascinating beauty, embel
lished by tracery and arabesque, carv
ing and Inlay, stained glass, tapestry,
bronze and iron of marvelous crafts
manship and exquisite design. They
are the product of a thousand years
of faultless taste, the contribution of
innumerable thousands of craftsmen
devoted to the glory of God and the
love of France. And it is this gflorious
nation that the hordes of Germany
would destroy.
Within Sound of the Guns.
A new sound arose in the darkness,
a sound which held for me a thrill as
vital and incomparably more alluring
than the hint of distant battle. It rose
slowly, a rich, mellow undulation,
which stirred every fiber, and then
quavered, descender* and broke off. We
stood motionless, listening with all our
ears, and again it came, unmistakably,
from tlie depths of the misty woods.
My companion smiled at me in tri
umph. Ills first surprise had come off
promptly, even ahead of time, for it
was oniy now growing dusk. We could
see in imagination the drooped tail, the
hollow-cheeked mur.xle raised skyward
—a wolf uttering that cry which of all
sounds is most symbolic of the north
ern wilderness; un hurlement plaintif
et lugubne. I could not believe jpy ears,
that here in the heart of France, with
in sound of the guns at the front, I
had heard the voice of a wild wolf,—

Uce Found for Opera Hats.
From a French inventor comes an
advertising sign in which an opera hat
is its housing. The sides of the lint
are cut so that letters are removed
that spell out the words of the sign.
These letter holes are covered over
with a thin light fabric of the same
color as the hat. When unlighted the
letters remain invisible, but with one
fir more battery lamps placed inside
and lighted, ttie hat becomes a conspic
uous advertisement. The batteries
may be carried in the pocket and wired
under the coat to the neck ami up to
the hat over the hair on the back of
the head. The current can be flashed
on and off with a switch iu the coat
pocket This is a real novelty in ad
vertising signs and one which would be
sure to attract attention.—Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Cost of Enrolling a Soldier.
Figifres compiled from the records
of the first draft show that it cost
the government almost exactly $5
for each man drafted, according
Popular Science Monthly. All buy 7
cents of tills amount represents/the
expense of the draft boards. Iu 'com
parison with this, it is interesting to
learn that the volunteer sys|era 0f
recruiting cost $24.48 per mnn/jn 1914,
$19.14 in 1915 and $28.95 between July,
191G, and April, 1917. The/ge latter
figures, however, included tiye recruit's
traveling expenses and the /cost of his
subsistence prior to acceptance.

NOTICE.
To Chairmen Local Committees,
To Arkansas Consumers of Coal:
| 1. The fuel situation confronting
the nation is serious. It is impera
tive that there be a co-operative dis
position on the part of steam-users
to equip their boilers for the use of
such grades of coal as may be avail
able, if the domestic consumers and
the essential industries are not to
have a shortage of prepared sizes
during the trying days of the com
ing winter.
2. Loss of coal production in
many of the western states, includ
ing Arkansas, is largely attributable
to the fact that there is not now suf
ficient means for the untilization of f
slack coal. The early ordering cam
paign in this state has met with a
ready response on the part of con
sumers, and retail dealers report they
booked sufficient orders to keep them
busy 60 days, and those who h&ve not
placed their orders should do so now.
3. Industrial plants and the con
sumers of prepared sizes are expected
to do their full duty, and the steam
users are cllled upon to make pre
parations for the use of more slack,
or the whole system of production
and distribution will be badly crip
pled.
4. It is urged upon the owners of
steam plants in Arkansas, as a pa
triotic duty, that they proceed to
equip their boilers with special
grates and blowers to enable them
to burn and utilize approximately
one hundred and fifty thousand tons
of Anthracite slack that for the pres
ent, there is no market, and place
their orders to the extent of their
storage capacity.
5. Tb’s applies especially to An
nlnnl/ TVlu i-.tinTUTAO ltl flTO
box equipment can be made at a ’
comparatively small cost and it ■will,
in the end, prove to be more econom
ical, on account of the lower cost of
slack, and at the same time, will aid .|j
in the production of Anthracite coal ‘M
that is so badly needed. , $JI8
6. Get ready to burn more slack Js
and keep the miners busy.
