The symptoms, however, shown by it* victims are those ex hibited by persons who have been poisoned by chlorin in industrial ac cidents; that is, great irritation of the mocous membranes, bronchitis and sudden death by a narcotic action in the most severe cases. To produce death rapidly it is nec essary that the air breathed shall contain at least one part of chlorin in 100,000 is dangerous, and even small er amounts are troublesome. It is of some interest to know how much chlorin is needed to be effective On the supposition that there is a breeze of four miles per hour and that it takes two minutes to empty . _ the containers holding the chlorin, the drift of the air 'hiring that time would be about 700 feet; to charge the lower three feet of air current with chlorin to a concentration of one to 1000 would require about six cubic feet, or I pound for each yard, or something like one ton per mile of battle front. Chlorin can be obtained commercially compressed into liquid form in cylinders for 5 to 8 cents a pound, and as a by product in the electrolytic manufacture of hydrogen for balloons it may well be of ¡CSS value. ________________ One Way to Peace. The note to Germany expresses a cordial willingness to act as mediator between that nation and Great Brit ain in an effort to effect an undcr- standing by which the “character and conditions of the war upon the sea may be changed.” This offer is in re sponse to the Imperial Government’s intimation that it would accept the good offices of the United States to this end. There is in this byplay of the diplomatic correspondence the possibility of a means of settlement of our differences with Germany, and the taking of a long step toward the restoration of peace in Europe. The kaiser’s government contends that Britian’s action in declaring foorstuffs to be contraband compelled it to adopt the policy of submarine war fare against merchant ships. Great Britain maintain'* that the contra band rule is the result of Germane’s order placing all food under control of the Federal Council. If these or ders of the two governments could be withdrawn and maritime warfare re stored to’ the condition that existed previous to Februady I, when inter national law was being observed by both, neither »ide would be materially weakened by the concession, and all i grounds of difference with neutral nations would be at once removed. Submarine warfare upon commercial shipping would cease, foodstuffs would go forward to Germany, and civilized warfare, upon the seas at least, would be the rule. More than that, such an agreement would tend to allay the feelings of hatred be- tween the two countries, and would inevitably prepare the wav for nego tiations for peace. It would be to the honor and glory of this country if it could be the instrument for such a consummation. A. A. FRANZKE, Chautauqua Lecturer Uncle Silas Says.

I have been reading about an eco nomical farmer about whom Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., had been telling to his Sunday school class. He said: “There is a farmer out near Cleve land who makes a fad .of economy. Every time he drives into town he carries a hen with him tied to the seat of the buggy.A friend who rode out with him one day was curious to learn the use of that hen, so lie watched carefully and found out When, at noon, the farmer lunched under a tree he gave his mare a feed from a nose bag, and the hen, placed on the ground, ate all that the horse spilled from the bag, so that there was no waste at all. That was a dis gusting display of parsimony and the friend walked away a bit to hide his contempt while the former finished his lunch. He was trying to commune with nature, but turned around and saw the old skinflint go to the buggy and take from under the seat an egg which the hen had laid on the way, break the shell and gulp its contents down his throat, and thereby the farmer had got pay for the oats the horse had spilt and the hen had eaten Don’t that jar you? The man who makes the best of everything should have no trouble in disposing of anything he may have to ............. sell if he has to throw in i.. a _ little L l L for good measure. Here’s a story to illus trate that proposition: Once a Kan sas farmer met on a hot, dusty road a homeseeker pushing on excitedly toward the Cherokee strip. “Whar ye bound?” asked the farmer. "Fer a hundred and sixty acres of free land in the strip,” was the reply. And the man vanished in the glitter of dust and sunshine. A month or two went by and on the same dusty road the Kansas farmer met the homesteader returning, “Hello,” he said, "what ye done with them hundred and sixty acres?” The homesteader pointed his whip proudly toward his mule team. “See them mules?” he answered. “Wall I traded eighty acres of my claim for them.” "What did you do with the other eighty?” "Don't .gim me away,” was the reply, "but the feller was a tenderfoot, an’ I run in the other eighty acres on him without his knowin’ it.” ----- o------ During the hot weather the wise teamster loads lightly and drives very slowly; stops in the shade if possible. So long as a horse is working, water in moderate quantities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a fe v swallows if he is going to stand still.

The man who goes straight forward and does what tie conceives to be his full duty every day and hour, and if he meets with reverses does his best to overcome them, who never tries to squirm out of a bargain fairly and definitely made, nor whines at disappointment, such a man, in my estimation, is a hero and deserves a full measure of success.________ _ _____ Notice to Stockholders Mutual Tele phone Company. There is no good reason why any healthy person should not succeed with tiie hen if he has a liking for fowls, is willing to work, and before commencing operations, especially on a living scale, obtains some practical knowledge of the business. To thus succeed means that he must handle from 500 to 1000 laying hens and must plan carefully to get the right start. By looking ahead before one leaps may be the saving of many dol lars and much time. Many seem to lose sight of all good business meth ods when going into the poultry busi ness. While they may have read much good advice and obtained valuable information from those who have made a success in poultry, they seem g to have quite forgotten it. In spite of the many drawbacks in other lines of business poultry and eggs will always be salable, and, taking the year through at figures that will show a profit above the cost of operation, to all who can successfully handle their flocks. ------o------ When anybody in my employ has rendered good service it has always been a rule of my life to tell them so, and I have experienced a good deal of pleasure thereby and have never failed to get, if possible, better ser- vice afterward. Other farmers I know of never say a word of appre ciation or encouragement to t_ their .„G. employes, are continually changing hands and always looking for some one who warns work. But I have more applications for employment than I can take care of at all seasons of the year. The city, and many of the farm papers, are continually harp ing on ^pd bemoaning the drift 1 f population, especially the boys apd girls, from the country to the citv, 1 and are suggesting all sorts of reme dies therefor; but they don't get at the heart of the matter. When the parents will learn to encourage their , children by kind words of apprecia tion when they are moral, industrious and do good work, it will create a bond of interest and effectionate gratitude that will hold the children to the farm home: and when the em ployer makes conditions surrounding farm employment as inviting a« ’hey are in other fields of endeavor re quiring similar ability and experience I then the supply of the farm labor will equal the demand and the drift of population from country to city will cease.
