Established 1873) : <i> THE NEWEST WEAPON A western inventor has announced the aboli- tion of gunpowder. His argument sounds as reasonable as it does revolutionary. His rifle utilizes gasoline instead of powder for its explosive and—so he says—shoots seven times harder than the stoutest powder-propelled bullet ever did. Gasoline, it seems, has seven times the explo- sive force of the best powder. The future rifle therefore will use a spark plug instead of a percussion cap. It will‘ carry enough.ammunition for hundreds of rounds in the stock, and the cost of killing a hundred men will be so slight that no murderer need be deterred; if he can buy a pint of gasoline and six’ten-penny nails he can go forth and deci- mate all his pet enemies. No expensive brass shell, no cap, no speedily deteriorating, costly powder. 4 Just a squirt of gasoline behind the bullet, a spark through the spark plug, and bang! No, not even a bang, just a seven times multi- plied force turned loose without noise or fuss or expense. At that rate a gallon of gasoline would suffice to bombard London, and a barrel would conduct a couple of Mexican revolutions. Maybe our future armies will be recruited sole- ly from the ranks of the taxi drivers, and spark plugs will settle the destinies of nations. A few more inventions like this and war will become so automatic that we can keep our armies at home and -wage war with tanks; sky squad- rons, scout cruisers and automatic artillery, di- rected by wifeless, in turn managed by a gum- chewing switchbeard girl, who promptly at 9 a. m. presses the tank plug, and at 11 releases seven- teen heavy ‘batteries.

BUSINESS MEN SHOW CONFIDENCE “Advertise” says, Richard Spillane, the noted and gifted writer on business mattersiand business problems in “Commerce and Finance.” “At a luncheon the other day,” continues .Mr. Spillane, “the‘editor of a monthly publication that has a circulation of 1,800,000 said that for one of his spring issues: he had $892,000 net” of ad- vertising in hand. Net means with commissions deducted. He expects before the forms are closed he will have $1,000,000 in that one issue. “So far as known, this is the greatest amount of advertising ever booked in the history of the publishing business. “What is of far more importance than the es- tablishing of this record tis the evidence it gives of the confidence cf the American business man. Apparently the people who have articles to sell have no, doubt about the immediate future in a trade way. If they had they ‘would not make such heavy jinvestment in advertising. “The publication with the $892,000 booked is but one of the many to feel the impulse of broad- ening business. “And why should not business broaden? “America has more wealth and a wider distri- bution of wealth than ever before. The people have been on short allowance in respect to many of their needs for several years. There is a con- siderable shortage, aside from the normal demand, to be met. In addition the consumpticn of all classes of goods increases year by year, not only by growth of population, but because man re- quires more and more with the advance of time. “If advertising is.a safe index, and it would appear that there is no better, there is big busi- ness ahead. “Advertise!” The Hohenzollern line was a paying proposition until it put in the subway. WHERE THEY WANT TO GO “Wanted, a married man for a farm. To suit- able person will give rent of house, free wood, garden, pasture for cow and $50 a month.” \ _ This small ad appeared recently in a city paper. Within 24 hours it had stirred up 70 people, 70 families indeed, to reply. ‘We think that is the best answer to the charge that some are making: “The town worker doesn’t want to go to the country. The returning soldier doesn’t want to live in the wilds.” - : In these days of apparently high wages—only spparently high, please note—to immediately find ie os city workers who welcome a $50 2 month We surmise that the truth is that the thought is coming to the top; that workers:to become an hour day, and a high money wage. Nobody should be forced into the country who doesn’t want to go.there. Farmers on protest are not wanted, there is too little good land available. But this big undeveloped nation should be able to provide every family that eagerly desires to enter the producing class a fair chance to do so. Just as many a good farmer has ‘been driven to the city to become an indifferent tradesman, or superfluous shop keeper, so many an expert crafts- man has been’ allowed to go on a farm where he had no chance to make good. The nation in its 18 months of war learned to employ its soldiers according to their preferences, ‘abilities, training in civil life. If Uncle Sam in the peaceful years helps his sons and daughters to find their work, to realize their ideal, to become expert, we will in time have a nation of 125,000,000 real producers, living in comfort, doing a good work; every one of them to the child in the home, being trained along the vight lines. As it has been we have had perhaps 10,000,000 skilled workers fitted to their jobs and doing what they desired to do. The rest have been accidentals and, to a de- gree, a drain rather than tonic to the national nervous system..i:« i This nation has land enough, and money enough, and opportunity enough to give every willing worker a chance to make good. And right now we have most of the machinery required to handle the needs of the people if we have the vision to use it.

I received your letter, written in October and J, answered it with a long letter, but 1 am not sure it went. I am well and getting along very good. The. weather is fine here. It has been raining quite a bit lately; but it is not-cold. It doesn’t get cold here although they say that it snows every winter. I am in the city of Lurembourg, or near there, rather.

The attempt to represent the allies as strangling an innocent republic because it is a socialistic one is one of which Mr. Borah must be ashamed, since he knows as well as any one what the real state of the case is. Shall we wait for the bolsheviki to conquer Europe and then carry their despotism elsewhere? Mr. Borah certainly knows that the life of no socialist in Russia is safe if he antagonizes the bolsheviki, and that the other socialist papers have been suppressed by terror, and yet he un- blushingly talks about the ‘clique of anarchy and universal war as “a socialistic state.” Mr. Borah must pay the penalty of being known as a man of intellect; the same excuses cannot be made for him that are made for men of less intelligence among whom are certain United States senators. —New York Times. KEEPING FAITH The only fear is that in the multiplicity of mat- ters to come up the main points: (1), punishment of Germany and, (2), restoration of France and Belgium, may be set back or at least minimized. We must keep faith with our dead. This fact, which must never be lost sight of, is well put by Colcnel Harvey in his Weekly. Referring to the late Colonel Roosevelt, Mr. Harvey writes: “With the poet of Flanders fields, his spirt may well cry to those who so long and so passionately loved his leadership : “To you from falling hands we throw the torch; Be yours to hold it high. ‘ “Im his own farewell words, publicly uttered only a few hours before his death, he said: ‘There must be no sagging back in the fight for Ameri- canism merely because the war is over.’ We re- spond, with all reverence, with all possible sense of Joss, but’ with all the indomitable resolution which he so superbly personified: There must be no sagging back in the fight for Americanism, not even because Theodore Roosevelt is dead. “Remember that we keep faith with our dead. “If ye break faith with us who die ' ‘ “We shall not sleep, though poppies grow “In Flanders fields.” It won’t hurt any of us for a while to forget the grossly material, and solemnly keep faith— New York Telegram. ee t ‘a 000 which is one-half the population of the whole country. ‘They have’ u standing army of two hundred and] fifty men and all dressed up to kill.

The company was split up into four platoons of seventy men each and each platoon joined one of the four regiments of infantrv in the fifth division, the 11th, 6th, 60th and lst. We went into the trenches about June 15th, down in Alsace near -tho Swiss border,, in the Vosges moun- tains. It was pretty soft down! there as we merely held down the trenches. We made long hard hikes around in those hills. We were there about ten weeks and then hiked about one hundred kilometers to Arches where we took trucks and rode up to near Nancy and Luneville where we stayed a few days and then went up near Martin- court, near Metz, where we: arrived at the trenches at 1 a. m.

The dutch got their big guns set up during the day and by night they were throwing G. I. cans around kind of reckless’ which raised the dickens with our wires and kept us busy repairing them.

Y., a treatment for rheumatism ‘has beex found that hundreds of users say is a wonder, reporting cases that seem little short of miraculous. Just a few treatments even in the very worst cases seem to accomplish wonders even after other remedies have failed entirely. It seems to neutralize the uric acid and lime salt deposits in the blood, driv- ing all the poisonous clogging waste from the system. Soreness, pain, stit- ness, swelling just seem to melt away | and vanish. The treatment first introduced by Dr. Delano is so good that its owner wants everybody that suffers from rheumatism or who has a friend so afflicted, to get a free 75¢ package from him to prove just what it will do in every case before a penny is spent. Mr, Delano says: “To prove that the Delano treatment will posi- tively overcome rheumatism, no mat- ter how severe, stubborn. or long standing the case, and even after all other treatments have failed, I will,, if you have never previously -used the treatment, send you a full size 75c package free if you will just cut out this notice and send it with your name and address with 0c to help pay post- age and distribution expenses to me’ personally.” ; a F.
