Recently a Zeppelin In maneuvera
waa struck by an aeroplane accident

the German aky monsters.
One of the great hIihIiIh was seen
crulsluu about over Clrvy-le t'oigea.
The big dirigible wheeled aud turned,

no aound but the purring of the en

its oue man aboard.
moment later the hornet was
upon the bird. Tbe torpedo boat bad
delivered tbe death wound Straight
ahead and upward ruahed the aero
plane, Ita powerful engine driving the
machine clear through the great gaa
bag of the Zeppelin. Out upon tiie
other aide came tbe shattered rem

down with a rush to earth. The avl
a tor's body came tumbling too.
Tbe Zeppelin wavered, crumpled,
collapsed Bi fel- With her wrecked
hulk came tbe twenty-flve Oerman
soldiers who formed her crew.
"One," counted the Frenchmen, for
the aerouauta of that nation are ready
and eager to administer similar treat

Taunted Zeppelins.

waters.
An official statement saya that of
1000 men composing the crewa of the
warships sunk off Heligoland, only
330 were saved.
The British attack on the German
fleet off Heligoland was Initiated by
British destroyers, according to ac
counts given by the crews of the ves
sels which took pnrt. The destroyers
got fairly close to the German ships
before they were discovered. Then a
oannonade from the German ships and
torts was opened on them, and they
gradually drew the German cruisers
toward the sea.
For a time the Germans were In a
position which gnve them thn advnn
tnge, British destroyers having to bear
the brunt of the battle. During one
of the hottest phases of the fight, two
British deatroyers not in between two
German cruisers, which feared to fire
upon the Britishers lest they hit each
other, while four other destroyers en

FARMERS' CLUBS SUCCESSFUL

Hone Working For Preeperity.
at. raul. Minn-Mora than 700 farm
oca' cluba have bet-n organised In Min
nesota during tbe past year, according
to A. D. Wllaon. director of agricul
tural extension at tbe university farm.
There are 890 farmers' cluba In tbe
state, representing all but two of tbo
elgaty-eU countlea.
The move to cstabllab cluba among
the farmers la one of the greatest steps
toward proaperlty tbat tbe atate baa
ever taken In the opinion of economists
at tbe College of Agriculture. A good,
active farmers' club doea for a rural
community what an active commercial
club doea for a village or city, tbey de
clare. It teuda to secure tbe united in
fluence of a community to develop and
bring about any desired Improvement
and to oppoae anything tbat la not for
Ita best Interests.
"There seems to bo only two solu
tions," aays Professor Wilson, "to tbe
problem of putting tbe farmer on an
equal basis with those with whom be
has business outside of tbe farm. One
la to Increase the size of the average
farm. Tbe other Is to unite the inter
ests of several farmers owning farms
of ordinary siae for tbe purpose of out
side contact In both buying and selling.
-Tbe latter plan la decidedly prefera
ble because It doea not Involve the
landlord and tenant or landlord and
hired help system und makes possible
the maintenance of tbe family sized
farm, which Is one of our moat Impor
tant American Inatltutlona.
"I believe in tbe farmers' club be
cause It develops people. It tends to
bring out tbe bettt there la In a com
munity and to get people ready to act
conceitedly for their own betterment
It ta an over ready meana of taking up
and studying Independently any matter
of Importance to tbe commnnlty. It
makaa the work of the unscrupulous
promoter unprofitable and alda any
movement that la for the real interests
of the community. A farmers' club to

5
Strong Reasons
for Fall Painting
1. The wood is thoroughly dry.
Summer' j sun has rtmxd all moisture,
2. Paint penetrates deeper into
dry wood.
The deeper it goes the better it holds,
3. Fall weather i$ warm, dry and
dependable.
Utile danger of cold, damp, rainy days,
which endanger the durability of the passu,
4. Wet weather decays and de
stroys unprotected surfaces.
Lack of paint means unsightly and leu
valuable property,
5. Fall painting keeps out winter
moisture.
The greatest enemy to the lift and beauty of
