SATURDAY, OCT. 20. 197 The sinking by a submarine of the American transport Antilles home ward bound with the loss of 67 lives, of which 16 were soldiers, is one of those incidents that may be expected to occur at intervals dur ing the war, as much as it is to bs deplored. Fortunately the trans port was not carrying a cargo of soldiers, as it carried on the trip to France, and the loss was compara tively small. The unfortunate affair will serve to Emphasize anew the fact that the United States is fighting a ruth less enemy and that it can expect n. more consideration as a belligerent than it received as a neutral. It is war, as painful as the fact is to contemplate. Americans will mourn the loss of these brave men, but they will De all the more determined to make it unlikely that future Americans will have to go to war to save their country from a foe whose rule of ac- tion is to make existence terribl'? for every individual or nation that does now bow before his imperial will. nnnnnQnnnnnnnannoonnnonnnnnnonnnnnnnnnnn Coming to Pastime Theatre Tuesday October 23rd 1 "CINDERELLA AND THE MAGIC SLIPPER, 1 DON'T FORGET THE DATE g AN AUTISTIC MISFIT The October issue of The Ladies Home Journal has a reproduction of a painting by one who is supposed to bo a very celebrated artist. This represents Abraham Lincoln as a young man splitting rails, with a book very convenient to be usecVwhile resting. If the artist had split half as many rails as we have, he would never have run such a picture as this on the unsuspecting public. In this first place, it illustrates rails as being about seven feet long, while every true woodsman know that they they should be nine or ten feet. In the second place, the wedge is being driven in straight in the end of the log the butt end at that while we nil know that wedges are driven at right angles to the lo Moreover, this picture shows a large limb within three feet of the ground Even if limbs grew this near the. ground, and they don't, Lincoln was far too sensible a man not to have selected nice straight trees for this purpose at a time when they were abundant. 1 e notice, too, that the maul which is used is shaped like a cro quet mallet and not a great deal la ger. Mauls of this kind are use ful for driving stakes for a circus tent but would never be used by u self-respecting woodsman for split ting rails. Even if this were th proper shape, it is not more than five inches in diameter, and would be en tirely too ilight for practcal pur posed. One of the most serious defects in this picture is the fact that the axo handle is of the curved variety such as are manufactured by om friend Adrian Shuford at Conover. The machine for turning these axe handles was not invented until long after Abraham stopped splitting rails. When Lincoln wanted a new axe handle, he did not go to a store and buy orvf, but selected! a nice young hickory, split out the handle, shaped it down with his pocket knite and then with a piece of broken glass trimmed it down to exact size. It makes us tired to see Abraham Lincoln with modern implements in the year 1833. Admission 5 and 1 Oc.

IN "POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL" HHREE OF A KIND HOOVER'S BIG JOB The most difficult position to hold in this country, next to the presi dency, is that of food administrator. Mr. Hoover and his state assistants . including Mr. Page of North' Caro lina, have to deal with a public that has been accustomed to abun dance, that cannot believe that any thing will be scarce in this wonder ful country. Even though the food administrator may not succeed in obtaining prices that the wage ear ners can pay, it should not be over looked that his efforts at least have a tendency to prevent open specula tion in the necessities of life and to shift the added cost of the gamblers on to the public. It is difficult for us to believe, however, that there will b a scarcity in anything. We might expect a shortage in sugar and meat, but not of a kind to alarm. iAs a matter of fact, many food stuffs are short. The tremendous demands of our armies and the ar mies and civilian populations of our allies are taxing the productive pow er of the farms, and it will require saving to tide the country over un til another harvest. Mr. Hoover, however, is having difficulty in mak ing U3 realize this. For the first time in the history of American agriculture have farmers been able in the last few years to re ceive unusual prices for their crops. Heretofore, as we have tried to bear in mind while paying the grocer, the farmer has been the under rail, and he has been a long time climbing to the top. . Ho has come into his own at last, and it i9 to be hoped that prices for his products always will remain so good that he can educate his children, lay aside something for a rainy day, and enjoy more of life as ho marches alorg. Milwaukee ent!nel. Arthur Shattuck, the brilliant Wis consin pianist, has given his entire income $60,000 annually for the maintenance of European musicians pauperized by the war. His private yacht he has offered to the Ameri can government. His splendid ap artments in .Paris, which he has main tained for years, he has turned over to Belgian refugees. He is now living on what he earns from his work as a musician. Wright Patterson, a salior whose parents live in Chicago, was in Syd ney, Australia, 10,000 miles away when he heard of America's en trance into the war.
