'•Vhen the British General Sande
i; in Carey stopped the sap in the
I'.ritish 1 i:• e before Amiens in the
;>rt week of the German offensive
th" '.onr.uanding officer of a regi
...t of American engineers covered
himself with glory. Special i-orre
•.•"ndents of Eastern papers now
bt^iu l t: e battle line are telling of
if This American office,. took
i-Virse of an infantry eubsector and
•' rec-ted his troops there for a weefc
. British General Kawliuson has
. 'iciully congratulated and thanked
Him. saying: "I fully realize that
it has been largely due to your as
sistance that the e.iemy has b een
'< k-d," General Pershing also has
commended the officer for
_ :'iue conduct of the officers and
n of your regiment."
V. t the man's name is not allowed
■ y the military censorship to be
■ ciblished. There may be a mili
'■ — reason for this sort of censor
"1 i;> which the l3yman cannot com
prehend, but whatever the reason
i- the withholding of this officer's
.•'■•me is an outrage and a gross in
justice to the commander of the
••r'shieers. An exception should be
made in his case. The people of th
i'l'ired States have a right to kr.ow
who this soldier is. They want
i ' tio'ior him.—Portland Telegram.
From the manner the home guard'
r;,..->n'bers kept time in their march
• nut town, observers must <*on
c'ude that they must either be apt
i'upfis or must have had an inde
fatigable drill master, for they
marched as one man. Their showof
is entirety to the»r credit. They
na'ched with the firmness and ap
P arance of old and tried veterans.
It is to be regretted that they have.]
not been provided with uniforms as J
well as arms. A home guard uni- I
termed- and armed would present an
inspiring spectable at the rally next
- iturday, pursuant to President Wil
1 's proclamation.—Ketchikan Pro*
i;r ssive Miner.
Counting tha Salmon.
The Wood river in Alaska lias been
closed to fishing for many year* and
Is resorted to for breeding purposes by
red salmon escaping the nets'in Nuaha
gak bay. The counting of the salmon
was first undertaken in 1908 and has
been continued annually sine* that
time except in 1914.
The counting is made possible by
throwing a rack across the stream and
compelling the fish to pass through a
narrow gate, where they are easily ris
ible . to persons immediately above.
'Agents of the fisheries bureau in relays
are kept on duty day and night for the
entire period "of the run, and the tally
Is kept by an automatic counting de
vice manipulated by-hand.
The- highest count for any one day In
recent years was 25,554.—New York j

HANGING UNMOUNTED FLAGS.
Correct Position of ths Ulin to tfce
Eye of the Observer.
It is sometimes a bit prntling to
know just how to hang a flag—Just
what la ti*> correct pi Hilton at the
union. A. latter to the New Xetit ®3J>
um tells exactly bow It should be
Quag:
"All rales for banging again* a wall
a flag which la not attache* to ICa staff
are In reference to the ritfbt or toft
hand at the observer. The union will
b« In the upper right hand comer If the
stripes are perpendicular. TKaa on a
street running north and sooth the
flags on the east slda wlQ here their
unions toward the north aad those on
the west side will all haw tMbr aniens
toward the soutb unless some erf ttsm
are hung with strtpee horteonimV when
the position of the union will be re
versed. As one drives dowa the stmt
this may give at flrst tha tisfssafcm
that there la no uniformity, tlkongh all
the flags may be correctly htm& but
every flag will be right sManwt daspttn
the diversity."
The writer adds that a street banner
should be hung across tha stmt at aa
equal distance from both curbs-; that a
flag not attached to a staff hang Open
a wall shoi^d have. tha. talon at the
top; that the union shooM be at the
left of the observer If tha strip* are
horizontal; that the union should beat
the right of the observer If the stripes
are perpendicular.
HOW TO WIN SUCCESS.
Have Confidence In Yeureelf and D*
Not Lean Upon Othere.
Power Is the goal ot trtrj worthy
ambition, and only wwtDM cornea
from Imitation or dependence en tub
ers. Power la self developed, aril fen
«rated. We cannot lncresns tbesptrtngth
of oar muscle* by sitting li a gym
nasium and letting another exercise
for us.
Nothing else so (leatroy* the power
to stand alone as the ha bit at leaning
upon other*. If you lean yo» vXU.nsjrer
be strong or origins L Stand alcoe or
bury your ambition to be somebody • in
, the world.
The man who tries i to give his chil
dren a start In the world so tte4<tbey
will not bare so hand a time mm he
bad Is unknowingly brtn£ng dlsaeter
upon them. What her calls giving tbem
a start will probably glvetbem a set
back In the world. irooaf 'VMpi* need
all the motive power t*ay can get
They are naturafiy leaoecv, Imitators,
copiers, and It la easy for them to de
velop Into echoes or imitations. They
will not walk- ak>ne white yon furnish
crutches; they will lean tfpon yoa Just j
as long as you will let thjem.
One of the greatest delusions that a
human being coukl ever hare la that
he Is permanently benefited by continu
ed assistance from others. — Orison
Swett Marden.

Touchy 5*«opl«.
Beware of Ooochy people. Thsrs are
always some about Teady to'peeter you
In some way. Huxry an past so you I
cannot hear them and above afl refuse j
to deny what they say. Just keep !
sweet and go ahead and let their ua- j
kind words swelter in the gloaming.
How much time and patleaeokars wast
ed on touvby people! And yet such
people think they aflb the salt ot the |
earth and everybody rite dirty water, j
It is a real wickedness to be touchy. It '
Is as bad as lying and cheating. It '
does the world as much harm. We
knew a touchy person one time whose |
touchiness struck in on Mia and be j
died. We hope all1 our gentl*. readers j
will escape so sorry a fate.—OHh> Btate j

History Mads Palatable.
Joseph Salvador, the E"reneb histo
rian, and Jules S&ndeau, a novelist,
made their meeting at a public recep
tion the occasion for a dispute ae to the
respective pJ*ces which they occupied
in the world of letters.
"The reading of history is like a pill
—It needs {fee sugar coating to make it
palatable." frgued the nor el 1st.
"Ah, but it is the ingredient which
cures, not that coating,* remarked the
historian.
•"Then let us* divide tile honors," said
Sandeau, "for if it wire not for my
sugar coating: your historical facts
would dry on the shelrea."
Pitch.
The Hebrew word pitch in the au
thorized version of the Scriptures (Gen
esis vt, 14) la connected with "gopher
wood." It signified in the first Instance
the gum or resin that ■exuded from that
tree; hence it was transferred to all in
flammable substances and especially to
sulphur, which is found on the Shores
of the Dead sea (Genesis xlx, 34).
Quit* ■ Feat.
"A congressman, ha* great powar&
They used to say that you can't recap
ture the spoken -word."
"Well?"
"Yet a congneasman la allowed to
withdraw his remaxka." — LouUfllle
Courier-Journal
Never Weara Out. i »
"Seems to be no end to the- supply of
antique furniture."
"Well, the stuff laata forerer. It la
eo uncomfortable that it gets no actual
use."—Louisville Courlea-Journal.
Accuracy,
"Do they ring two oeQa for ecftool?" i
asked a gentleman of his little niece.
"No, uncle," was tibe> reply. Tbey

(PP PRESTON GIBSON
Pretton Gibson, prominent American
author and society man, who has been
serving with the Norton-Harjes unit
since the early days of the war, has
been decorated by the French govern
ment with the Cross of War, with two
star citations for gallant conduct on
the field. Gibson ia now chief •# a
section of the United States army am
bulance corps.
Flowers and Blood.
A superstition dating from olden
times exists to the effect that roses aud
flowers generally attain greater beauty
In soil fertilized L»y blood, especially by
human blood, than elsewhere. Persons
who have visited Newjaarket, England,
know of the so called "bloody flower of
Newmarket," which is foiTnd nowhere
else than In the old moat, now filled
up and In which, according to tradi
tion, a very large quantity of human re
mains is Interred. These flowers bloom
In June and July aud by the bloodlike
hue of their blossoms suggest the name
which has beeu given to them.
Doubtful Assistance.
Editor—George Bump, the merchant,
is dead, and I want you to write up an
obituary telling what a fine fellow and
•what a successful business man he
was. New Assistant—Sure; I'll boost
his game, but I don't see what good lfa
going to do.—Puck.
THE REAL TEST
Of Herplclde I» In Giving It > Thor
ough Trial.
There Is only one test by which to
Judge of the efficiency of any article
and that Is by its ability to do that
which It Is intended to do. Many hair
vigors may look nice and smell nice,
but the point is—do they eradicate Dan
drufT and stop falling hair?
No. they do not. but Herplclde does,
because It goes to the xoot of the evil
and kills the germ that attacks the
papilla from whence the hair gets ite
life.
Letters from prominent people every
where are dally proving that Newbro's
Herpicide stands the "test of use."
It Is a delightful dressing, clear, pure
nnd free from oil or grease.
