General Pershing njhdc this state meut: On this first anniversary of the Arm ifltice thai brought fighting to an end on the Western Front, we recall with gratification the services of the army ,and the country in the war. The great army of young manhood known a the American Exeditionary Kor.es was hurriedly raised, equipped and traine i to meet a grave world crisi. Competed of youth, selected for their physical and their mental fitness, it was developed in to as fine a body of men as the world has ever seen. This force played a ie eisive part in the war and demonstrated that, while we are not a military nation, the American boy has in him thoe quali ties that go to make up a perfei t s .1 clier. The achievements of our troops on the battlefields of Frame have be eome a part of our history, and need not 1)0 again recounted here. Their patriotism prompted a spirt of .)' sacrifice unequalled ; their service l,av prompted a spirit of seif sacrifice un equalled; their services have preserved cur ideals ami our institutions. Our armies have lieen demobilized, and our cititeua soldiers have returned again to civil pursuits with assurance of their ability to achieve therein the sue eess they attained as soldiers, thus t bringing a new asset to the nation. With broadened visions they return not only with pride in the high standards of American manhood,' but with a new con eeption of its relations to the duties of ciiizeusiiip. .As we jay tribute to our fighting men, we remember that solidly behind them stood the American eople with all our resources and our determination. This common service has welded together the. future of America, and enables us to look forward confidently t the develop ment of a stronger nationality and 'a ideeper sense of the obligations that .rest upon US4 The exercise by the Arneriean people of practical patriotism ' during the war was an avowal of our Him adherence to the principles of free government that will continue to have reat influence upon the progressive : thought throughout the world. These TRAVELS TWO MILLION MILES Massachusetts Drummer for Fifty Three Years Claims World's Long-Distance Record. Worcester, Mass. Edmund R. AVnre of Worcester lays claim to having trav eled more miles, or at least as many, as any man now alive. He has been a traveling salesman most of the eighty-five years of his life. Mr. Ware hus been up and down and across the North American con tinent literally hundreds of times aud estimates that he has covered more than 2.000.000 miles. Most of Mr. Ware's traveling has been done In the interests of various firms which he represented as sales man, but he made extensive trips in Mexi While In Mexico Mr. Ware traveled on a personal pass from Pres ident Diaz, whose friend and admirer he was. Mr. Ware made an extensive tour through the Canadian northwest, and he was in the party which located the stations of the now famous Canadian mounted police, then just beginning their career. Mr. Ware began his career as a trav eling salesman when he was twenty and continued In it steadily for TA years. In this period he say he passed half of his nights in slipping cars nnci saw every city on The North Arneri na c-.iirjiif t f STEAMER P0RLAR LAND sun;; off cape breton. Portsalon, Ireland. Salvaging $35, 000,000 worth of gold ingots and bul lion the White Star steamship Lau rentlc Is reported to have carried when she was sunk the n'ght of January 25, 1917, off Funad Light, one of the northernmost headlands of Ireland at i the entrance to Lough Swilly, is be j lng conducted by the salvage ship itacer. The princely cargo, lay at a depth of 22 fathoms. The gold and bullion were contained in the strong chamber amidships, rendered almost impreg nable by its thick steel walls and heav ily bolted doors. At first portions of the Laurentic's decks were blasted away and a passage was made clear for the divers. On June 20, the re trieving of the treasure began. Gold Brought Up. The first bucket sent up contained only copper pennies and a few silver coins. Then for several days, bucket after bucket containing three or more gold bars, each worth more than $5, 000, were hoisted to the surface and dumped on the deck of the Racer. The first of these bars brought lusty cheers from the crew of the salvage ship, but tossing fortunes about soon came to be merely another form of manual la bor to these sailormen. Most of the gold bars were 9 Inches long, 2 Inches thick and 4 inches wide and weighed about 28 pounds. For days not one was found, as many of them were burled clear of the wreck by the blasting necessary to make the strong chamber accessible. Several feet of sand have now been washed over these scattered bars beneath masses of twisted steel and it fre quently requires hours of patient la bor to pry them loose. The record day's haul so far had been 47 bars worth approximately $3T0,000. Thus far several million dollars' worth of treasure has been salvaged. Divers Work in Shifts. The Racer carries eight divers. Their "tricks" are so arranged that one diver is at work throughout the day. Each works half an hour and then must spend 30 minutes in coming to the surface as otherwise the snd den relief from the tremendous deep water pressure might cause partial or complete paralysis. They are brought up in ten-fathom "hauls," with ten minute "rest" intervals. When the day's work is over, the day's "catch" if considerable. Is dis patched to London with an armed con voy. ' When first built the Racer was a square rigger man-o'-war one pf the "Wooden Walls of England." as the ships of the British navy at that time were known a century ago. !

Ten years ago Senator Harry New happened to mention to his wife, while they were eating water melons, that he had once seen and tasted a watermelon with a yellow core. Mrs. New said that all she had ever seen were red. The senator declared he would prove his veracity by show ing his wife, some time, a watermelon with a yellow heart. Since that time Senator New has been continuously on the watch. He even tipped off his friends and they have looked long and carefully for a yellow melon. Recently an express package came to the senator's home here. It contained a watermelon, Just as green as any watermelon on the outside, but when cut, the meat was pure golden, without a streak of red. Thanks to one of his Hoosier friends, the senator now says to his wife, "I told you so."
