Americans are Decorated Bravery in Recent Fighting The French army has decorated 122 American soldiers "of a Massachusetts regiment with the war cross for bravery displayed in recent fighting. The ceremony was held on a picturesque field a short distance from thc front line trenches. One hundred ancl seventeen men from the One Hundred and Fourth (Massachuscttcs) regiment which bore the brunt of the German attack in the Apremant forest on April 12 received medals as did five men of another regiment who had participated in earlier fighting around Sois- sons. Here and there in thc line were spaces representing Americans who were killed or wounded seriously. Thc French general, in conferring the decoration, said of the regiment: "It Jiowcd the greatest audacity and a fine spirit of sacrifice. Subjected to very violent bombardments ��n_d attacked by large German forces It succeeded in checking the danger- oils advance and took at the point of the bayonet in ;i most vigorous way prisoners and some demolished tienchcs from which it had fallen back at lhc first assault."

I No Peace in the World Until There Is a Revolution in Germany There will be no peace in thc world until there is a revolution in Germany sufficiently extensive to shift the centre of political power from junker to people. Russia, Finland and Roumania show that thc present rulers of Germany are bent on conquest and domination, They play the old game of statecraft in the^ old way. Naturally a party which cherishes those ideals will believe that its neighbors are cherishing them. A continuation of their regime can mean nothing but a continuation of the old condition* of mutual jealousies and suspicious and competitive armaments. The dominant mind in Germany, must be a mind with different ideals, or there can be no reasonable assurance of peace. This German government���after all that has been said about Belgium���cheerfully assented to lhe principles of no annexations and no indemnities when it opened negotiations with Russia, and at once as cheerfully excepted all lhc Russian territory it wanted or could use from thc application of those principles. Any nation which would trust that government Would deserve wdial it would get at the first favorable opportunity. How many more men must bc sacrificed, what military reverses or disappointments may bc necessary, before thc German people lake an effectual share in their government, no one can say. But, in view, of what has happened meantime, it now appears, even more clearly than when President Wilson first said it, that thc rcal objective of thc war is simply a government in Germany which can be trusted. That will mean peace Nothing else will.���Front the Saturday Evening Post. Corns cause much suffering, bat Hollo way's Corn Cure offers a speedy, sure, and satisfactory relief.

Investigations Needed in the Cases Where Germans are Empbyed in War Work No more alarming case cf German espionage has been brought to light than that of Paul Henijf. the "trusted" master mechanic ot a company making torpedoes for the United States navy. Since another Henig, wdio passed as his son, is now interned at Ellis Island, it' is not easy to understand _ the blind confidence which continued him in a- position wdiere he could do so much damage. Lieut. Shea, U.S.N., was thc first to suspect him. This capable officer began an examination of the torpedoes on his own account and found that they were designed to circle back and sink thc very ships firing them. There is no need to expatiate on thc formidable nature of such a plot. Nor is it surprising that there should be considerable apprehension lest other unknown dangers of the kind threaten our military and naval forces. That Henig should pay the death penalty as a spy goes without saying; the example cannot be too severe. But there should also be an immediate searching investigation of other "trusted" Germans who are employed in war work. The consequences of unlmstwortliincss are too perilous to be ignored.���Philadelphia Ledger. On the Trail of the Gopher Get Together and Help Your School and the Allies by Catching "Mr. Flickertail" When properly encouraged, boys and girls do splendid work in nature tudy. Thc work done in the gopher campaign in Manitoba one year go proved that fact. ^ Prizes were offered for gopher killing, and also for information about gophers. As a result of this latter fact, definite information was gathered upon a lumber of important points that prc- .iously were in doubt; and this information has been incorporated in hc ncw 20 page bulletin entitled Gophers and Squirrels in ilanito- ba," just issued by the Manitoba department of agriculture. Professor Jackson, biologist at Manitoba Agricultural College, thc author of the bulletin, still bristles- with unanswered qucslions about the gopher which hc puts up as a challenge lo the boys and girls. He wants to know, for instance, whether gophers rear one or two broods of young in a year. Strange, isn't it, that with all we know about these little pests, and with an estimated annual board bill in Manitoba alone of $5,000,000, wc yet do not know whether the children conic in one or two instalments. In his bulletin, Prof. Jackson not only enumerates the various types of gophers and squirrels, but hc also presents a map showing the distribution of thc different specie*. Drawings of the different kinds of gophers and squirrels appear, and also prints lo show the plan of the summer burrows close to the ground surface and then away down below the frost line for-lhc winter home. This refers paitieiilarlv to lhc flck- erlail gopher. Speaking of thc striped nophcr.

Major-General Mewburn does not state bow many of that number were killed iu action or died of wounds, but a recent semi-official statement fixed it at about 30,000. In three ycars of the hardest kind of lighting only one in thirteen or so was killed. This is Canada's military, achievement���a spl lid one, which overshadows any misgivings as lo cost to the countrv in money. Up to March 31 there had been ?S35,000,000 suent and, as is noted, it is estimated tnat $500,000,000-will be needed in tne vear ending next March 31. That is a" big jump from the $60,000,000 spent in 1914-15 and even from the. $302,000,000 spent in 1917-18. But Canada is out to do its share in beating Germany, and the financial cost, | great as it is in proportion to the i Canada and country's wealth, is a mere incident to that great objective.

If anyone doubts the wisdom of this suggestion let him look at the facts regarding tuberculosis and insanity. Tens of thousands of tubercular subjects are dying every year while thc absoluta lack of isolation is insuring the con- lamina tion of other tens of thousands. On the governments of Canada rests the blame for this negli- gencc. There arc a few sanitariums caring for a small portion of the consumptives of our country, and there it ends���a crying disgrace to our legislators who apparently never give to the. one hundred thousand tuberculous subjects a passing thought. Menial diseases also are little thought of and little cared for. Hundreds of insane, men, women and children, many of them curable, are forced into lunatic asylums which in many cases are chambers of torture.���Montreal Star. How'�� This?

So .me army officers are so fond of the firing lino, that they glay tennis when iu Eugland. Ovkk in France recently the Canadians seem to be quiet. They ���will soon jump over the top again, and make Fritz look at his Bauer- kraut. In France there are 475,000 women working in the munition factories iu France. They make from $2.50 to S3.00 a day, and have plenty of money in the banks. When" labor and capital, taking advantage of war conditions, charge too much for their work and goods, they become traitors to their God, their flag, and their country. It is estimated that the wheat crop in the United State3 this year will reach 950,000,000 bushels. The record crop in that country was in 1915, when 1,025,000,000 bushels were raised. Cut the booze out iu England and there will be more grain for bread. There are 5,000,000 dogs :-n Great Britain. These should V 0 killed and made into sausage, i..iid other delicacies.

Many people forget1 this litil it is too late. In these mod- iit western days a town without.a : I'wspaper, is like a man who has . ost his voice. ..- Men of public .-pirit. know that these words are ���true, and that editors cannot live upon ozone, printers pi. and free: publicity'dope; .

Such a craze for making everybody work, will kill the tourist business of that city.

Float is found.in nearly every locality, but it is seldom that much is found in place. Owing to the excessive amount of water some deposits cannot be worked satisfactorily, while others require a flotation plant iu order to gefe rid of the base elements. Prices are good, but the government regulations are constantly taking capital away from the industry. As an example to the Yankee nation President Wilson is raising : a flock of sheep, on the lawn back of the White House. We are something like Wilson.; For years we have: permitted; other /.-people's chickens to pick .bugs on the lawn in.rear of our typographical,palace, '���'-/'-it on our wood pile, and lay their .,'.'*'gg= in tlie:-.woodshed; This sum ���:---.''iiVeVV'we-hav.e.;-'dohe'-more.

A sense of hutnoidis more valuable for a busy woman than all the latest inventions for making housekeeping easy. tjThe patent dishwasher, tho self-feeding and self-shaking range, the washing machine, the bread-mixer and the egg-beater all put together will nofe help "mother" through Saturday morning so well as the ability to laugh long and heartily. Unfortunately, there Is no school where this accomplishment can be learned. The giggling girl is not so sure to grow up a laughing woman. She may regard herself and her own affairs with a pretentious seriousness. Egotism is fatal feo a true sense of humor. So is a lack of imagination. So is that morbid conscientiousness which is our least desirable inheritance from Puritanism. Thafe family is fortunate indeed where the mother is first to see a joke and to lead the mirth. In too many homes her sole shave in merriment is her dismal "I'm sure I don't see what you're laughing about!" The mother, an invalid for years, who could answer an inquiry about her health with a quizzal smile and a quick "S'ck abed, and worse up!" was not a burden but a joy to the children who found her room "the jollieBt place in the house." A nonsense rhyme, a droll conundrum, a lively repartee, a story of misadventure may all Berve as sauce for a dull day. The appetite for fun may be coaxed to grow by what it foeds on, until the mature woman, laden with responsibilities, can smile at her own small trials and help other to follow her example. She will learn first nofe to cry over spilt; milk, and later will even master an even more useful accomplishment, and will laugh over it.���Youth Companion. vegetables without; thanksgiving that is in his power to make the earth yield food for his fighting son and all his brothers. These summer twilights many a fear and heartache is hoed under aud buried deep in a prosperous garden, and many a quiet thought and glorious vision is found by a tired man digging among his vegetables. Now is the time that we may find the heolingof the out-of-doors, a balm for all the years wounds to mind and spirit. Greenwood had a severe electrical storm on Tuesday night.

Whomever you wish to speak to, the telephone brings them, as it were, right to you. and you converse easily and naturally. True, you cannot see the person to whom you are talking, but you recognize the tones of the voice, you note all the inflections of speech. Nothing else enables you to do this but the telephone.
