DIRECT ANCESTOR OF HEN
NOTICE is hereby given, that Fred j a oyer the worldj that when the war
is at an end the Irish problem will
cease to be a problem. The quickest
way to the end of the war is the
quickest way to the solution of Ire
land's difficulties. And the only way
to get the war over soon is to throw
into it all our slda's resources in men
and materials. The most effectlva
thing that Ireland can do toward
ending her troubles is to give the
utmost possible support to the allied
efforts for a quick victory.
The Sinn Feiners remain recalcit

perspective to see this. Their in

might expect from a victorious Ger

The Way Out of the Irish Problem.
Irishmen in this country with

exceptions- -have never suffered any
confusion with regard to the duty
of Ireland in the war. Tltey have
not allowed an hereditary family
row within the British empire to ob
scure the larger issues of the
struggle against Germany. There ara
many instances of the determination
of the American Irish to aid in the

From the Jungle Fowl Are Descended
the Feathered Creatures of the

Although there were no houses wlth

surprised on our first night to hoar

province, tropical China), Roy Chap
man Andrews writes In Harper's Mag
azine. The note was like that of the
ordinary barnyard fowl, except that tt

t morning we discovered Chanti
r and all his haieni in a deserted
rice field, and he flew toward the jun

1 dropped him and one of his hens
with a right and left of "sixes" and
found that they were Jungle fowl (Cal
lus gullus) in full plumage. The cock

feathers (-U; o;lcs) spread over his
bark aii'l viri'-i ike a shimmering

beautiful than 'ke black of his under

glory except that his- tail is drooping
and he is more pheasant like in his
general bearing. The female was a
trim little bird, with a lilac sheen to
her brown feathers, and looked exact
ly like a well-kept "guinf bantam"
hen.
The jungle fowl is the direct ances
tor of our barnyard hens and roosters,
which were probably first domesticat
ed in Burma and adjacent countries
long before the dawn of authentic
history. According to tradition, the
Chinese received tlieir poultry from
the West about 1-100 C. C, and they
are figured in Babylon cylinders be
tween the sixth ami seventh centuries
I!. C. Although they were probably
Introduced in Greece through Persia,
there is no direct evidence as to how
and when they reached Europe.
TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Fixing Board appointed to fix lumber I
Retail lumbermen are not profiteers.
The Federal Trade Commission and the special Price
prices have come to a conclusion; they have fixed prices.
We anticipated that this specially appointed Board would come right down the line iu their
program and fix our prices to you. Instead, they simply fixed prices from the lumber mills to the Gov
ernment and to ourselves, the retail dealers.
. The fixing of lumber prices, especially retail prices, was looked upon by our company, and we
believe, practically all other retail dealers throughout the country as a good thlngT
Prices have advanced, still lumber is not high. You will appreciate this by examining the fol
lowing comparison, and to bring it home to you we have taken as a basis of our comparison the price
which you are receiving for your crops:
To illustrate: In 1913, one thousand feet of
against 12.4 bushels In 1917.

BUiLT FOR SHALLOW WATER
Peculiar Marine Institution on New
England Coast ' as Known in
1842 as the Camel.
Iu the year 1842 a queer marine In
stitution made its appearance In Nan
tucket and bore the name of camel.
These camels were really huge floating
dry docks for carrying ships over the
bar, where the depth of water had
been gradually decreasing since 18:J0.
Being flat-bottomed the camels could
float in water very much shallower
than a loaded ship required. They
were like two long, large boxes float
ing sidi by side and held together at
the ends by large iron chains.
The outer sides were almost.stralght
up and down, but the inner sides were ,
curved, making when the two sections I
were drawn together, an interior basin I
Just the shape of the bottom of aj
ship. 1
The plan was for the camels to be
separated far enough to allow the
ships to be hauled into the basin be
tween the two sections, then to be
drawn nnd held fastened together by
the chains, holding the ship between
them, so that the camels and the ship
could then be towed over the shallow
places in the channel to the wharf.

Preceeding the meeting of the special Price Fixing Committee, the Department of Agriculture
issued a report styled as Bulletin No. 116, "The Distribution of Soft Wood in the .Middle "West," th
preparaion of which covered a period of more than a year. The conclusion set forth in this Bulletin
evidently had a great deal to do with their failure to fix our selling price to you.
For, briefly, this is what the Special Commission had to say about our business. There seems
to be no need of fixing the dealer's price to the consumer, and so long as their present fair attitude
manifests itself, prices will uot be fixed.
No evidence was offered by the Bulletin or the Special Commission to the effect that retail deal
ers were overcharging the consumer. ,
Furthermore, the report advises, "that there is no combination or monopoly in existence in
the lumber business, nor is there a tendency to fix prices." Manufacturers and dealers have responded
nobly; they have more than lived up to the Government's requirements by meeting the big war de
mands with willingness and dispatch. .
This report on the part of the Special Price Fixing Committee, and as issued in the Bulletin re
ferred to, convincingly proves that we have not overcharged you, and our pledge to you is this: we
will continue to keep faith with you, endeavoring at all times to give you better lumber and better ser
vice. Quality and service are the two items that are likely to change, but always for the better.
Prices will not be advanced to you so long as the present Government mill price remains in
effect.
Perhaps at times we have been a little bit slow in expressing our appreciation of the business
and support you have given us. This letter cannot be misconstrued as an apology, but we do wish to
take advantage of this opportunity in telling you at first hand what the Government has had to say
about us, for we know that their opinion will carry more weight with you than any false rumor to thn
effect that we have overcharged; that we belong to a combine, set up by our mail order competitors
and others who are uninformed.
We thank you most heartily for the support you have given us.

Cherish Your Friends.
Have you a good friend? Of course,
you have, every one has friends, but
every one does not hold the friend
ships they make. Friendship is too
rare and sacred a treasure lightly to
be thrown away. Aud yet many peo
ple are not careful to retain their
friends. Some loe them through in
attention, failing to maintain those lit
tle amenities, courtesies aud kind
nesses which cost so Utile, and yet
are hooks of steel to grapple and hold
our friends. Some drop old friends
for new ones. Some take offense eas
ily at imagined slights or neglects and
ruthlessly out the most sacred ties.
Some become impatient of little
faults, and discard even truest friend
ships. Some are incapable of any
deep or parmanent affection, and fly
from friendship to friendship like
birds f:im bough to bough, but make
no nest for their hearts in any. There
are a great many ways of losing
friends, lint when we have once
taken them into our lives we should
cherish them ns rarest jewels. If
slights are given, let them bo over
looked. If misunderstandings arise,
let them be quickly set right.

How Language Grows. !
"Cad" nnd "fad" were at first only
localisms, struggling for existence and
getting slowly into use sporadically lit
England, until at last they achieved a
peaceful penetration into the United
Slates; then they ceased to be mere
Briticisms; they won recognition into
standard English. A like fate has. be
fallen "boss" and "boom," the first a
localism of New York (descended
from the days when the Empire city
was New Amsterdam), and the second
spontaneous creation of the lumber
camps of Michigan. In time those
two words were in common use all
over the United States; they were
! then merely Americanisms; nnd after
a while they made their way Into ths
j British 'empire, until now they bid
i fair to be lifted into standard Eng
lish. Best Method of Memorizing.
