It menns def- wmite direction, ~fixity of ‘purpose, stegdfastness. Loyalty supplies pow- er, poise, purpose, ballast and. works |. for health and succ the loyal ‘man. Nature helps If you are careless, assumes that. you wish to be a nobody, and grants your desire. Success hinges on loyalty. Be frue to your art, your busine: your employer, your “house.” Loyalty “Is for the one who is loyal. It s a quality .woven through the very fabric of one’s heing, and never - thing upiu:t. Loyalty makes the thing 'to' which you' are loyal yours. Disloyalty «removes it from you, Whether anyone knows of our dis- lexalty is' really of little moment ci- their one way or ‘the other, - The real point is, how does it atfect ourselves?

Paved streets, electric street lights, municipal sprinkling carts, a ‘modern fire department—these are all in old Bagdad now, says Cleveland - Plain. dealer. Or, rather, they are in new Bagdad, for the slumberous city on the Pigris has assumed a new aspect since the British drove ont the Turks six- teen months ago. Nothing now remaius of the filth and squalor of the Turkish regime. The place is stil] orlental, but the oriental atmosphere is less odoriferous. Dead cats are not left to. decompose in the middle of narrow streets. Great Brit- ain has a wonderful way of leaving orientalism unspoiled while making it ‘reasonably clean. The British sol- dier cannot abide filth. His sanitary squads penetrate the:remotest mews and the most deeply hidden cesspools, and the mews and the cesspools cease to offend. The natives soon discover that cleanliness is not a‘horror. The Arab is not naturally vile, but he has fallen into the ways of hils Turkish masters. Bagdad is as inter- esting as ever, and ever so much safer. After the war many PBritish tourists will visit the anclent Abbaside capital, where ruled the mighty caliphs, and will note with interest the British benefits bestowed on the city that Wil- helm und Gott once picked as the far goalpost of Mitteleuropa. Where Courage Is Common, The Kunsas soldier who, after tak- ing part in a battle on the Western front, wrote to his mother, “Say, moth- er dear, I never knew courage was 80 common,” has expressed the sentiment of thé mation. We never knew that there was so much Iatent heroism among the young fellows in the offices, the factories and on the farms of Argerica. Thank God that te our young Americans “courage s common !”— Lawson Constitution.

THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER - ITALIANS FISH BY THE AID OF LIGHT . By Henry Wood (United Press Cortespondent.) Rome, Sept. 19. (By Mail.)——Deep sea fishing by electric-light is Italy's latest industrial development. Use of electrice lights submerged to:a great depth not only renders fishing at night possible, but results i~ greatly increased hauls, the fish being attracted in immense numbers by the iighi. ; Aside from increasing the food supply, this method has the. double advantage of overcoming the erisis created by the shortage of men in the fishing industry resulting from the moblization of these both in the navy and the army. A greatly decreased number of fishermen can keep the national haul up to what it was be- fore the war. The electrict light fishing is being used with remarkable success in'.the vicinity of the numerous islands with which the Italian seas abound, while experiments are now being made on the coast north of Rome, AUTOLESS SUNDAY TO PASS.

Through the courage und persistence of three Americans—there were oth- ers. but the three were the actual cable sponsors—Oyrus W. Field, his brother, David Dudley Field, and that fine old philanthropist, Peter ‘Cooper—the great project was carried over. The total cost was $1,834,500, the cable alone taking $1,256,250, and the line crossed from Trinity bay, Newfoundland, to | Valentia, Ireland, the cable being very close to 2,500 miles long. Three times the attempt to lay the fects in its material. tempt was successful. The Niagara, then the largest ship in the United States navy, and the Agamemnon, & July 29, 1838, euch carrying a section of the cable. The ends were carefully spliced and then the two ships turned homeward, moving slowly as they paid out the cable.. On August 4 the Nia- gara reached Trinity bay; the Aga- memnon reaclied Valentia on the 5th, On August 16 the cable was pro- nounced in working order, and here is the first officiab message that passed ACTOSS “Europe and America aré united by telegraphy. Glory to God in the high- est; on earth peace, good will toward | men.” AT END OF GLACIAL PERIOD Geological Authority Makes Deduc- tions From Shrinking of Great Ice Cap at the South Pole. Dr. Marsden Manson of San Fran- cisco, an eminent authority on geology, points to the fact estnbll‘shed by re- cent Antarctic explorers that the great fce cap is shrinking. From this he draws the conclusion that the gradual subsidence of the Age of Ice of which the polar fce caps are the existing remnants, is still going on and that we live, 86 to speak, at the tail end of{ the glacial period. He expresses the conviction that the same successlon! of geological climates has prevailed in Antarctic as in other latitudes, and says that the evidence collected in re- cent Antarctic explorations is corrobo- rated by the comparatively recent un- covering of temperate land areds nndl the progressive retreat of the Snow | Iline to higher elevations in temperate | and tropical latitudes and toward the; poles at sea level. He comes to the| conclusion that the disappearance of! the Ice Age is an active present process and must be accounted for by activl- ties and energies now at work. He, considers It as proved that the rates! and lines of retreat are and have been; determined by exposure to solar en- ergy and the temperature established thereby and by the difference in the| specific heat of the land and wnter' hewmispheres, ' e et At S SRS cable had failed, chiefly owing to de-} The fourth nt-l ‘Whitman are the featured players.

Again was the Rex theater packed to the' doors and out onto the walk to the curb last night, when the sec- ond evening showings of ‘“To Hell with the Kaiser” were.run, and as on the opening night of the three days run th~ huge audience applauded and booed at frequent intervals. The pic- ture is'in seven big acts and is mak- ing one of the biggest hits of the sea- son, It will be shown again tonight, two runs, and patrons should be in their seats early, “To Hell witly the Kaiser” is a clev~ er. comningling of fact and fancy. The war lords of Germany, the “Pots- dam gang,” presided over by Wil- helm of Hohenzollern, are shown planning the conquest of the world. To each is allotted a nation as a re- ward,—the United States, reserved for ‘the last, intended for the Crown Prince. The new historic incidents are shown in which Wilhelm the mon- ster tore up the treaty of Belgium, declaring it to be only “a scrap of paper,” and acknowledging to the "world that he disregarded all honor and decency. The sacking of Bel- ginum the burning of convents and the violating of nuns and young girls are indicated in a way that makes the blood boil with righteous indigna- tion against the Huns, but these mat- ers are so delicately handed that the youngest child can see them with- out harm.
