Peggy Is Summoned to Court. PRINCESS Peggy, I've come to take you to court 1" Peggy looked up from the book with which she was spending the hours between supper and bedtime. Before her stood Purple Martin, look ig as prim and stern as a policeman. And to make the resemblance to an officer all the more striking he wore a tiny white star against his black feathers and in one claw clutched a short club, "W-w-why," stammered Peggy, tak en by surprise , "have I been ar rested?" "Not yet, but you will be if you don't obey the summons of Judge Owl and come along with me promptly," responded Purple Martin. "Wha't have I done?" asked Peggy. "1 don't remember breaking any laws." "It isn't what you have done; it is what Blue Jay has done " answered Purple Martin. "His trial for stealing and nearly killing General Swallow's bride begins this evening in Birdland. You are wanted as a witness." "Oh, that's different!" cried Peg gy, much relieved. "I'll go with you at once." "Judge Owl has sent you fairy nng grass so you can become bird size," continued Purple Martin. Peggy took the blades which he held out to her and under their spell found herself made as small as the feath ered officer, who now looked more like a policeman than ever. "Billy Btlgium has fixed up an aerial chariot tor you," he announced. "It awaits you at the door." With that he stalked off ahead of her. Peggy followed, a little uncertain as to whether she should feel like a prisoner being taken to the patrol wagon or like a Princess being escort ed to her royal coach. She was a Princess of Birdland, she reflected, and Princesses always looked grand in pictures, even when being carried to the scaffold by revolutionists. So she put on just as grand an air as she could and followed the Bird police man as though he were really a royal guard. Out on the lawn waited Billy Bel gium's aerial chariot. When Peggy saw it she was glad she had assumed a regal attitude, for that just fitted the wonderful equipage which Officer Martin invited her to enter, cut at the same time she couldn't suppress a squeal of girlish delight because the chariot was so tairy-like and beauti ful. The body was of woven grasses, low in front, but built up in the rear in the form of a throne with a light canopy above. It had no wheels. In their place were carrying rods extend FARM AND RANCH LANDS. Nebraska Lands. TODAY'S LAND MENU. CORN AND ALFALFA FARMS.

To these rods were fastened ribbon streamers, two to each,vand to the ends of the streamers were harnessed eight Scarlet Tanagers. They carried the weight of the chariot as it jour neyed through the air, Harnessed to the front of the char iot in circus style were twelve Blue birds. At either side, as a guard of honor, were thirty Yellow Warblers while outside, of this escort was the fighting guard, a company of .King birds. , Officer Martin stood back and four sparjcling Humming Birds, acting as pages, led Peggy to the chariot and seated her on the throne. Then the Hummine Birds took up their sta tions at the four corners of the chac lot. Officer Martin twittered an order, there was a fluttering of wings and the chariot rose gently into the air. Evidently the Birds had been carefully trained, for they flew together splen didly, not even tipping or jarring the throne. The Scrlet Tanagers lifted the chariot well above the roofs of the city; then the Blue Birds tugged at their harness and away they sailed for Birdland. And as they floated along the Birds warbled and sang in a melodious chorus. Peggy thrilled with delight. It had been wonderful to rush through the clouds in her airplane and it had been rare fun riding on the backs of her Swallow horses, but this royal aerial outfit was something entirely differ ent. It held joys all its own. It made her feel a real Princess, travel ing in state. The Blue Birds did not fly very high nor very fast. Their pace was dignified and careful, which struck Peggy as being just right for the oc casion. She sat back on the throne and enoyed herself looking at the ground unrolling beneath, admiring the richly colored plumage of the Birds attending her, drinkjng in a - Sfople Simoits 3ps. Jr r ' - .

Answer tOsprevious puzzle ZENICK PREACHERS DRIVE MOTORSAT FRONT Men 60 Overseas to Evangelize and They Are Put to Work on First Needed Duty. Camp Funston, Kan., July 23. Versatility is a desired qualification for men selected by the YjM. C. A. for overseas service, but first of all comes that particular characteristic of being friendly, of gaining the good will of a man, regardless of whether he has a spark of religion in his own makeup. This fact is aptly illustrated in a letter to L. A. McCormack, gen eral secretary of tht. i. M. C. A., written by CWrerice Budington Kel land,( a well known Detroit author of short stories, who is now on special Y. M. C. A. mission with Pershing's army. 0 "Hundreds of men are landing here monthly to take up some Service un der the red triangle," writes Kelland. "They, are' all sorts and from all en vironments. It approaches the mar velous how they are made to fit. Preachers have arrived here with the ardor to evangelize. They find their true service can best be done driving a motor truck. Bankers come and find that they can do the best job getting up entertainments in some lonely 'hut' One rich and useless bachelor struck these shores filled with a desire to do something, but alarmed at his poverty of abilities. '"Can you preach?' he was asked "'No.' "'Can you sing?' " 'No.'- "'Can you run a motor car?' " 'No.' "What can you do?' " 'Nothing that I know of. I'm just one of the idle rich.'- " 'Go out and fuss around a f ew-j days with the soldiers and then come back,' he was told. "That night he metnp with a ser geant who was in Phs to see the town and who had started to view the sights through the bottom of a glass. The member of the idle rich inveigled him into a conversation, furnished him with cigaretts and a light. Pretty soon by sheer person ality he persuaded the man to no to bed without finishing off his evening artistically. In the morning the man came around and cornered the idle rich man. " 'Bo,' said he, 'you did me a favor last evening. 1 was, bound for a trip to In Bad. Any time you want any thing of me, just drop around.' "The idle rich man made tracks for headquarters. , '"Go to it,' weje the orders and he went to it. Now he is somewhere recuperating because he wore himself out working for h boys. And the story goe3, that until the regiment was assured he would be sent back to them there was excitement and high talk. They just naturally weren't going to go off without their pal.

Presently she became aware of a Peculiar black smudge off at one side, t wasn't a cloud, it wasn't smoke and itwas coming along very swiftly with an odd undulating sort of a move ment. The Birds were so happy in their singing and in their service to Peggy that they did not see it. Peggy shouted a warning. "What's that coming out of the north?" she cried. Officer Martin looked atid then screeched ajn order for greater speed. "It's a flock of crows," " he called to Peggy. Peggy knew that the Crows were enemies of the smaller Birds. Coming upon her slowly moving train in over whelming numbers they might attack it Could she and theN Birds escape? Looking down Peggy saw that they were over a lake. The Birdland forest lay beyond.. Before they could reach the shelter of the woods the Crows would be upon them. What would happen if they were attacked? Would the Blue Birds free themselves from their harness and seek to escape? Would the Scarlet Tanagers drop the chariot and let her go plunging down into the lake? Already the Yellow warblers were showing signs of nerv ousness, although they did not break their formation. The King Birds, re puted fighters, gathered close to the chariot and then, much to her sur prise, seemed to hide themselves beneath it. The Crows swept rapidly towards them, the clamor of their loud caws adding to the fear caused by their tre mendous numbers. Peggy felt that escape by flight was impossible. The Crows had seen them and were rush ing to envelop them. (Tomorrow It will be told how Peggy's ?ghtlng guard meets the attack of lh Crows.) SNIPING REDUCED TO A REAL SCIENCE Other Branches of the Service Are Called Upor,. to Help the In fantry. Correspondence of Associated Press Behind British Lines in France, June 20. Sniping and counter snip ing has been reduced to a fine art in modern warfare, and the sharpshooter uses many other branches of the service to assist him. An incident which occurred a few days ago in the British lines in Flan ders shows how a little artillery work is sometimes necessary in bringing about the undoing of the German snipers. Lieutenant Jackson, battalion snip ing officer, was walking down the trench when he heard a sudden rattle of musketry German bullets strik ing one of the British sniping plates One of his sniping posts was being battered by German afmor-iiercing bullets. The officer hurried to the scene and with his periscope located the pot where the Germans were firing. Ht was a big post on some ground be hind the' enemy firing line, hidden with earth and looking exactly like any bne of the other tangled hui.i mocks with which shells and mines had .strewn the vicinity. But his trained eye quickly marked out fout small apertures which he knew to be loopholes. The excellence of the periscope even enabled him to se the puffs of unburned powder which came from the four hostile rifles at every shot. "They are behind concrete and steel under that surface inud, sir," said the sergeant It won t be easy dealing with them." It a a case tor the heavy artillery, I'm afraid," murmured Lieutenant Jackson regretfully: he disliked calling in any outside assistance for his snipers. I saw the major of that heavy battery which covrs us, going by a moment ago," suggested the sergeant. Lieutenant Jackson hurried off down the trench and found the major who was up on a survey of the enemy line for special targets. A hint of what had developed brought the ma jor back, and a minute later he was in the nearest signal dugout, telephon ing" instructions to his battery. Meanwhile Lieutenant Jackson beckoned the sergeant away out of the major's hearing. "Put Haggarty and Brown into post 9, sergeant," he ordered. "I don't think the Germans have any day communication into that post of thefrs, and they will have to bolt for cover over the ridge." Presently the first heavy projectile came rumbling up from the rear. It burst 50 yards wide in a great splash of earth. The second shell burst in the German firing line, right in front of the sniping post, and tore a huge gap in the parapet. The third fell right on top of the post itself. But the concrete of the structure was strong, and the shell actually ricocheted clear' and burst several yards away. "That has frightened them," ex claimed the major suddenly, as four figures appeared from behind the sniping post and raced madly for the crest of the ridge.

Lindsay, hide and fur dealer, Council Bluffs and Omaha, has re ceived federal rules governing the purchase and storage of hide with instructions for immediate enforce ment. They are: "Butchers and small dealers who have made a practice of vatting or salting hides in watertight containers, must discontinue this practice at once. Hides must not be purchased when in this condition. . Hides must be sSlted, spread out flat -in such condi tion that all drainage and moisture will run off. The practice of selling hides all around at one price, or on a flat basis, must be discontinued. M mucs must oe sola on tneir mer its, that is, No. l's at No. 1 price, No. 2's at No. 2 price, and so on. The object of these rules andvregulations is to bring up the standard of ordi nary butcher hides to the relative merits of large packer hides. Butchers are cautioned to use extraordinary care in skinning animals, as there is an enormous waste annually In the poor quality of ordinary butcher hides. This can easily be remedied'bv bein more careful in preparing hides for marKet. At tne present time the gov- crnmenr aemanas tor good hides are enormous, and only a small percent age of butcher hides can be used on account of the poor takeoff and man ner in their being prepared for mar ket The government aims to bring me sianaara up equal to tne large packers who realize relatively higher prices for their hfdes on account of the careful manner in which they are prepared for market." - , m Chalmers Dies of "Car Fever" on Kentucky Track Chalmers, regarded as one of the greatest sprinters on Kentucky rac ing tracks, is dead at Churchill Downs.

The success of the low-flying air planes is of two kinds, the . slaughter, they inflict, and secondlyKthe disor ganization they cause. This second factor is of more importance than, most people realize. An unexpected check of troops on inarch is always troublesome. Men wonder, what has happened. Suddenly bombs begin tat. fall, men are killed, hors.es stampede, .wagons are smashed and the road :' blocked. Until the Allied airplanec are seen the terroristhe mysterious. When they are seen, with the irresist ible implication that the German planes have failed to drive, them off. the psychological enect is very severe, The work of the British airmen re- . ceived a reluctant tribute in a recent issue of the Berlin Vorwaerta, which, was captured in a raid oa the Ger rrlan trenches. The German newspa per, in an article full of apparently sincere admiration for, British flyers, said: "Never before have the English thrown their airmen in such great masses behind our front as they are doing in their present retreat" But the higher command", of the British air force is by no means sat isfied. A high official pointed out to the Associated Press correspondent in discussing this phase of air work, that "never before, was the need ot the air force for framed men and fin isned material so urgent as it is to day." He added: "It" has been said loosely thaf the allies are masters of the air and have achieved suprem acy in flying. But the aerial situation' is too fluid to justify such words. "At a cold fact, complete mastery ot the air could only come if there wero no German machines able to take tho air. '. ' ' .: "What is needed is more machine and more trained men, and it is tho people, the men and women of the allied countries, who in the last analy sis must give or withhold effectiva superiority in .the air.'
