This young Ior Scully got the idea that his American subjects weren't paying him enough tribute. So he raised the rents on them quick er and higher than his dad had done. Last summer they had po to $(! an acre. That's twice what the old Lord had paid for the land. Then young Ixird Scully came over Inst winter to see his American farm subjects. He found them prosperous living in fairly pood homes, and most of them rode to town in small auto mobiles, i Hut eh whs disappointed. Nary n one of his American sub jects took off his hut to the Lord. t tice. ' That's what they asked for in a meeting at the courthouse here dur ing the winter. In th's same court house yard the people of Grundy-co have erected a hip "Welcome Home" sign. It is directed to "Grundy Coun ty Boys" in our army and navy. The hoys are coming home now. Their fathers and mothers are do ing their best to make their welcome warm. Lord Scully welcomed them by raising the rents to a bankruptcy po:nt. Tiere's an "Over There" And "Over Here" Angle, Too.

INFANTILE DYSENTKY CAUSED DEATH OF li INFANTS JN WA- VEKLY BABY HOME. Infantile dysentry was announced as the disease which swept away the lives of 14 infants at the .Waverly Home, in a recent report submitted to the board of directors last Tuesday by Dr. Karf F. Meyer of the Univer sity of California. The disease is not uncommon, ac cording to Dr. Meyer, and was likely brought to the, Waverly 'Home by a baby admitted to the institution. The epidemic has been controlled by the' management and medical staff of the home. Dr. Meyer declares, which could only have been accomplished by sincere and devoted effort, on the part of officials, physicians and nurses. ( Women's Report Recalled "Condition besepak carelessness, in-( competency and criminal neglect," was the statement relative to the Waverly Home incorporated in a re port of two operatives of the Women's Protective division after an investi gation last November. The babies were insufficiently fed, insanitary con ditions existed and the general state of the home was described as "deplor able" and "awful." That sick babies were i given poor food while the em ployes' kitchen boasted ham, potatoes mince pie fend fruits, that the fare be came monotonous, that beds were in sanitary and that nurses were helpless because of the management, were other charges of the investigators.

Guarded night and day, and far out af human reach on a aedestal at the interior department .exposition in Washington, D. C, is a tiny vial.lt contains a specimen of the deadliest poison ever known. It is "lewisite" product of an American scientist. Ten airplanes carrying "lewisite" would have wiped out every vesta ge of life human, animal and vegeta ble in Berlin. A single day's out put would snuff out the 4,000,000 lives in Manhattan Island. A single drop poured in the palm of the hand; would penetrate to the blood, reach the heart, and kill the victim in great agony. What was coming to Germany- may be imagined by the fact tiiat when the armistice was sia-ned! ir. was being manufactured at the rate of 10 tons a day. Three thousand tons of htis most terrible instrument ever conceived for the killing would have been ready for business on the American front in France on March first. "Lewisite," was developed in the bureau of mines by Professor W. Lee Lewis, of Northwestern Univer sity Evanston, Illinois, who took a commission as jn captain in the army It was manufactured in e specially built plant near Cleveland, called tha "mouse trap," because, every work man who entered the stockade went : under an agreement not to leave the 11-acre space until the war was won . This of course, was to protect the secret work on the plant was started ISdays after the bureau of mines had completed ij.s experimentjs.The other preparations to bring the gas into the war went forward with like speed, bot the armistice pre vented the Germans from ever ex periencing a full realization of what they had begun when they turned ' their primitive ases on the Cana dians in Flanders in the early days of the war. -I t I - GOOD CROPS?
