Although we have kept careful watch, we have not jet found the paragrapher who was bold enough to try to get gay with that name "Appam." Villa is reported to have been "located" again. About the only thing that will satisfy the majority of Mexicans, however, in to see him located at the eud of a rope. Some men are so inconspicuous that they havo to raise side-whis kers to attract attention. The political aspirations of many of the coming candidates will not be entirely fruitless. Many of^hem will get a lemon. "Although I did my best to show them how it was all the fault of my intelligent compositor," says the editor of an exchange,v"thc bride nor bridegroom, nor any of their folks, ever quite forgave'me After the notice of their wedding I had written, 'On returning fro n tUeir wedding tour they will reside at the old manse.' I never blamed them for feeling a little harsh about it, for that sentenc." came out in the paper that evening declaring that 'they would resid' at the old man's." "When it comes to keeping one's own counsel, the Sphinx evidentl; novcr had anything on our friend Judgo Whedbee. .1 R. ^ROFFITT'S SUGGESTIONS. Vu.s c!: Vr.

'ban anything else. was his reference to the location of fa tories here. A half dozen small factories, each employing about a score of men would be the greatest asset that the city could have. If the Chamber of Commerce acts upon Mr. Proffitt's suggestions, we can get thes' industries, although it will take work and good hard work at that We don't want that type of small factory of which Washington ha had several in the past, where some outsider comes here, gets up stock subscriptions, runs h implant for a while on the money of local ! ro*i dents and finally goes to the wall. They are to be discouraged rather than -ought after. But if we can seeuw; some experienced men to come 'here with money of their own to invest, men who are experienced in their line of work, the}' can work wonders in helping build up the city. However, nothing -can be done until a start is made and we sin cerely hope that the Cham bed of Commerce, at the meeting of that organization next week, will inaugurate a strenuojis campaign for securing new industries for Washington. WOODCRAFT IN CITIES. City woodcraft sounds paradoxical until one accepts Mr. Ernest Thompson-Seton's definition of woodcraft as the adaptation of a mar to Lis environment. He is trying to encourage city men to study their surroundings as woodsmen do and to learn through their study to be resourceful in adapting' themselves to tlie circumstance# in which they live. City folk settle too easily into routine and are notably unobservant of things around them. Can you name, in the correct order, the 3toTcs or business places on any ono block in your town ? Do you know how many kinds of trees there aro in the block in which you live? Can you name the varieties and tell which is which? now is your residence street paved? Why?was it paved that way instead of some other way ? Why are poplar trees bad for city streets ? How docs your town rliapose of its sewage? Its garbage? Is the disposal satisfactory ? Is it economical or wasteful for the tax payers i If you had a fire in your house anl the fire department wan out of commission, how would you go to work to put it out? What ougljt you to Fiave first, after tie family ? Whnt would yo\i do if your town were struck by a cyclone? ? Why is a barber pole red and white? Why do you sprinkle ashes on ice? Why salt? That's a starter. If you once begin to observe things hi your walks abotrt town and the neighboring country you'll begin to find this "citvrrnft" as thrilling as any detcotivc story and quite- m to yourself as the Indian's woodcraft is to hiin. t::k appeal of war.

For this class, the war offers the most attractive enduccvj ments. The thrilling aerial feats of both planes and Zeppelins, the various heroic deeds on ihe battle-fronts, the daring sea raids and the] many other opportunities for distinction of bravery and courage are the big drawing cards for Americans joining m a war in which they have very little real interest. They. are red-blooded men, adventurer* and soldiers of fortune. The fact thkt they daily lodk death in the fact matters little to them. J*hey are not alone in Europe, but are in Mexico as well.

Much history had paassd over their baa da aa well aa the company 'a In tba hour* loading up to their visit to Mr. Martin 'a library and their foregather Ins there with Ambrose and tba count ess. The order from Brown A James bad begun It. nftd that w*a really tba soap king's fault, since ha bad wared bis monopolistic wand and caused tba false order to spring up out of tba ground, and Mary's $5,000 contribu tion to the soap company 'a capital bad developed it. which may also ba said to have. been the fault of the old mag* nate. The Brown & James order waa espe cially to blame, however, because It bad made the future look assured and rosy aod encouraging, so that together they had token the plunge. In the Illu minated momenta which followed the SO, 000 flash Mary's reluctance bad di? appeared. Rodney's ardor had jtofSefr bled, and In the reaction of a lovera* qua&el nod a "grand makeup," as Mary aaid. they had gone off to the Little Church Around die Corner and been married. That was the whole story. Really and truly It was all old Mr. Martin's fault and prearranged by him from the beginning, as Mary told herself again and again, defending ber ?elf ngninst Rodney/a father's possible wrath when th* news of bin son's mar riage to a typewriter sbonld be brek^p gently to him. The quarrel came, as quarrels and j April show em are apt to do, out of a 1 clear and serene sky. In the general 1 Jubilation over Brown ft James Rod | ney bod remarked, escorting Mary ttp ' town at night, that now the first thing be waa going to do with bla share of the profits waa to' pay her baa)c that 15.000. i "And then." be added sententious!?, "there won't be anything between us any more." Something, in the tone of his voice, quite uniutontlouu! on the boy's part, no doubt had piqued Mary. ^you'Tjwal Way* fnssed about that" she said. *1 --??

"Why do you say lost? 1 hope ytfu don't think It's really lost" retorted Mnry. "Don't be such a gloomy Gos." "Well, you know wt*t I mean." per sisted Rodney, "It was darned near lost And that shows yon do car? abobt It anyway." "Why shouldn't I Qare a'?ont Itr* said Mary.
