WEARING ON SAILORS' NERVES Effect of Fob Bank While on Convoy! Duty Is Almost Beyond Lands, man's Imafllnatlon. More comfortable than howling galea, tho fogs that drop u thick gray blanket over the seas are far more wearing on the nerves, writes Her man Whitakcr in the New York In dependent. Imagine half n dozen de stroyers guarding n 30-vomoI con voy. At night a fog bank close, around them beforo they ran scat ter, and from an exact fcionco navi gation dogonoratos into the blind groping of a blind navigator over blind Boas. Not a commander in our licet but has collected an assortment of night marcs in fliirh weather to last him tho rost of his life. Not a sailor that cannot relato hair-raising oxpe riencos as this: "Out of tho thick peu-miup fog a huge black freighter suddenly row on our bows. Ah wo swung on our 'heel with one scrow revoked a de stroyer (sunn shooting at us from the oppnilo quarter. Avoiding her, wc almost ran down another steamer, i loll you for a while gray hell wii loose thoro on a black sea." They have not always escaped, either.

Members of the University of Pennsylvania base hospital unit, known officially m United Stat03 Uase Hospital No. 20, will give the U-boats and tho kaiser the merry "ha ! ha I" when the unit gets started for France, if a campaign which was launched recently is successful. Maj. J. B. Carnett, commander of the unit, has received a "safety" suit which it is desired to purchase for every one of tho 250 members. To do so will require $3,000, and the alllccrs, nurses and enlisted person nel started lo raise tho amount nec essary to provide the suits. Jly wearing tho suit it will bo pos sible for a person to remain in tho water indefinitely. Tho suit, about tho upper part of tho body, is lined with fiber, which makes it buoyant. The soles of the shoes aro lined with lead, which keep tho feet down and maintain tho bodv in an miriuht po sition, even though from exposure the wearer of tho suit should become unconscious. Tho suit is easily donned, and, lfler a few minutes' practice, ran bo put on by tho wearer without nssisl mce. In the front is a pocket which -iiii bo iimmI to hold Hustenancu or iliimilnnU.

IN LIBERTY'S NAME Memorial Day Finds the Nation Battling for Freedom of tho Whole World. MEMORIAL DAY wns born of n war fotiglit that this nation, tin dor God, should have a now birth of fruedom, mid that government of tho tiooplo, for tho people and by the people shall not perish from the earth." A hnlf a century and more lias passed slnco that Itntnortnl utterance. Now the nation Is again In arms, to IlKht tlmf "the world may be made safp for democracy." Then, the yotinir republic, strtiititllne upward toward Its vision of freedom, learned through the hitter travull of Civil war that tho nation could not exist half slave ntid half free. The vision hns broadened with the wld enlng year. Then It was for the free dom of a race tho nation fought. Now the sword Is drown for tho Imperiled liberty of tho world. The natal day of our Independence wo havo been wont to celebrate with loud acclaim and vaunting pride. Me morial day ever has been our time for solemn contemplation. Another Me morial day Is at hund.nnd us America lays Its (lowers on tho graves of Its soldier dead, It hears again that re vered voice from tho slopes of Oct tysburg bidding us to tin not unmlmb fill that "It Is rolher for us to bo hero dedicated to Urn great task reinaliilnu beforo us, that from these honored dead we take Increased devotion to that cause for which they gave tho last full measure of devotion : that we hero highly resolvo that theso dead shall not have died In vain." A beautiful, a pootlc symbollMii Memorial day had come to bo to us: The people who wolk with slow steps In the unlet cemeteries, tho children In their white dresses who with loving hands place wreaths "alike for the friend nnd tho fo," the venerable men who are tho links that hind us to an age long gone, and, as we believed, for ever gone, when nation warred with nation nnd blood lust grew In hearts that had thrilled at the sight of the same Hug. And now with what n now and sud den slgnlllcnnre has Memorial day been w-qird. With what different thought will ihey go "lovingly laden with How er." How ii.ueh more reverently llmti lit those conventional days that nlnniily em so far away will the lit tie llaus be planted tut each patriot mound. And who Is there, when tups, clear and soft as a benediction, Is sounded for I hose who "dream of bat tlellelds no more," will not remember that on a neighboring hill on the mor row from that same silvery bugle will leap thu reveille for another genera lien of freedom's soldiers? If solemn memories of tho past and earnest thought for the future bring that new birth of freedom, who shall say that those, have died In vnln for whom (lowers will bo spread In far Memorial days to come? TRIBUTE TO PHIL KEARNY Comts De Pari Kntw and Loved F moui Soldier Who Gave Hli Life for HI Country. It was after tho review that I made the pcrMiuol iiciuiilatiince of the olll cers with whom I was to have the good fortune to light for a cause which was already dear to me. All made mo cor illHlly welcome, but It was with Kearn that I found in) self nutst nt home. He It was who could speak to me of the French sruiy In Algeria In is 10 and of the memories left by my family In that country, lie did so In terms which deeply touched tho heart of the exile, the son of the Hue d'Orleeus. Kearny hud imrtleliwted In one of those cam iwilgiis on African ground which brought out Mrongly thu merits of the I'rench soldier. He laid also iiwtoelutcd himself with the triumphs of Franco In tho Italian campaign of l&W. Ills abrupt speech and Imperious in turner denoted a proud disposition, nnd a character Incapable of (lattery or of dissimulation. Hut though at llrt his manner was not always lilted to uttract, one soon learned to appreciate the uoble qualities of his heart, the ririuuoss of his will, the accuracy of his Judgiauut, the truthfulness ami grandeur of his soul. If he did not spare his soldiers at tho decisive moment, he spared himself still los. and by his example obtained from his followers truly heroic efforts. I'hlllppo. Cemte de I'urls, In The Century.

The Farmer's Share Live stock is marketed from farmer to consumer at a lower cost than almost any other farm product. The United States Department of ogriculture reported in 1916 that the farmer gets for his cnttlo "approxi mately two-thirda lo three-fourths" of the finul retail price pnid by the con sumer for the resulting beef. Under normal conditions, the farmer's ehnre of retail prices of various farm products Is approximately as follows: Rutlnr 71 vifii cent CATTLE 66 Eggs 65 Potatoes 55 Poultry 45 rruus 35 Tho difference between farmer's price and retail price represents the necessary expenses of packing, freight and whole sale and retail distribution. Swift & Company not only performs the manufacturing operations of pre paring cattle for market in its well equipped packing plants, but it pays the freight on meat to all parts of the United States, operates 500 branch distributing houses, and in most cases even delivers to the retail butcher. All this is done at an expense of less than 2 rents per pound, nnd at n profit of only about l4 of a cent per pound of beef. Large volume of business and expert management, make possible this indis pensable service to the live-stock raiser and to the consumer, and make possible the larger proportion of retail prices received by farmers. 1 Year Book of Interestine nnd instructive facts sent on rtqueit.
