Commanding officers are made personally respons ible for the enforcement of the order. Secretary Daniel's dry order was promulgated some timo ago, on re commendation of Surgeon General Hraistod, who felt that liquor aboard battleships was not conducive to the high standard set by the administra tion. The secretary's early investi gations of 'the navy surprised him, for he found that officers were allow ed to buy light wines in the wino mess and to serve it with dinners. Liko vise his friendship with Secretary of State Bryan, an ardent temper ance devotee, is believed to have fig ured in his dry navy decision. The official order reads: "Tho use or introduction for drinking purposes of alcoholic liquors on board any ves sel or within any yard or station is strictly prohibited, and commanding officers will be hold strictly respons ible fir the enforcement of this order" REV.

Bane's barn some time during tho night last night and stole one of his valuable horses and also took a mare and colt from tho yard. Air.

That the field for growing alfalfa on an extensive scale would bo extended by applying lime to tho acid soil of the Willamette Valley and the Coast country, is the conclusion reached by Professor II. D. Scudder, agronomist at tho Oregon Agricultural College. The rcasn for this is that tho plant thrives best only in association with alfalfa bac teria, which are especially sensitive to acid conditions nnd do not exist in sufficient numbers in soils that nre acid. With an occasional application of limestno to properly drained sils alfalfa makes a very satisfactory growth on soils where it now either fails onliroly or docs not thrive. "Clover and even vetch do not suc ceed well in "soils in these divisions of the stato when sown in virgin land, says Profossr Scudder, "While vetch alsike and red clover, filed peas and beans grow fairly well on the older soil of regions that have become self inoculated, thoir yield would be great ly increased by making the soil less acid. Tho heavy rainfalls of these suctions and tho lack' of freezing woathor in winter are natural causes of this limo doficloncy. Lime is read ily soluble In waler and easily leach ed out of the noil. Sufficient trials have Ihmiii made to show the valu able sllWU of returning a supply of limo for Hint which was louched mil jniwl lost by iialtmil niustw.

One Scheme That Gave a Missionary the Surprise of His Life. Iiiiost every one who has friends in mission work In India knows that one very Important function of the mis sionary is to play the part of match maker to his Mock. But few if any have heard of the conditions being re versed and tho llock turning match maker for their ilssionary. That does occur, however as the letter written by a missionary who lives at Tutl- corin, south India, tells: On New Year's day. 1011, as I was 6eatcil in my little mud cottage at L'uticorin a number of people entered tho veranda and ceremoniously onine Into my room, bearing trays of (low ers, fruits, raisins and sugar, which they placed at my feet like suppliants who desire to gain the hearing of a petition. After all duo ceremonial eti quette had been ob.-erved and I had indicated my willingness to hear their petition Brother Guana Draviam. a prominent lawyer In Tuticorln. began reading in Tamil an address to which the others gave strict attention. It. ran like this: 'Reverend Sir- You have now for nearly two years bestowed great euro and labor upon us. ministering to our spiritual welfare and striving (for the health of our souls to such an extent that you have greatly impaired your iwn physical health, and we feel that jou need some one to care for yni, since you do not care for yourself. We fear lest your zeal In our. behalf may deprive us nt once of your life ind services. Therefore, with jtro- found humility and sincere respect, wo venture to request you to marry a good woman, who will both care for you nid help us " This was naturally a confusing thing to happen, but I was hound to re spond to such an eloquent appeal, nnd when the applause died nway 1 riwe and answered with considerable effort- 'Your affectionate regard for my welfare Is so overwhelming that I hav no words in which to express my up- lillll'll. ilflll mil UU. limn; ii. 'lit. , 1 .1 ..i..t.... f i .... i .i, ...... ...lit.. r..ii.f from the exertion. But the novelty or the hltuation overeanio my fatigue. and, turning one uf the eldes, I asked If they had any particular per son in mind as one who would bo will ing to becouio my helpmeet and bo equal to all th.t responsibilities they had outlined. Immediately Aliss W.'s name was mentioned. "But." said, I. 'I don't believe she would have me." This seemed to me like miilchiiiaklug with a vengeance. What a high handed net, to bo sure! To order their pastor to marry, and then lo I'honite tlx girl besides! But the worst was still to come. "We have alreaily been her ami told her she must have you," salil Brother Kiijiippaii. So It wits settled. I may add that my wife and I have reason to approve highly. of Hie Indian method of match making, but It should bo ciin'lilned with the western ninthed of courting, ts in our rune, lo fret-urn tho best nulls, (xelniiiKik Curd of TIihmU Wo wish Ui tiUitd Mir Umrtftii thank Ut tint jnmmsW of MftittftMi, mm! aajHtfteity U Uw I'ytkUm Msisrs, wim m imtmtdp mm ui um i4 4ur lnjt mm Illness ui mu mm itrf tasUwr Mr Wm Wittkut AY NIGHT ZINGO'S WAR IN THE CLOUDS COMING TO THE GRAND SOON This is one of the most remakablo adventure stories ever told in motion pictures.
