Brand Whitlock’s “Belgium Under the German Heel” in The Journal. At last! The Truth About Belgium is to be told by Brand Whitlock, United States Minister to Belgium, exclusively for this territory in the Sunday Journal beginning February 17. This is the first complete, au thorative, official record of that de vasted country whose martyrdom has called the civilized world to arms. It is a magnificent epic of the su preme tragedy of Belgium—the burn ing and blasting, the rapine and de solation, and the crowning brutality, the murder of Edith Cavill. As if destined to preserve the story of Bel gium’s sacrifice, Mr. Whitlock was ap pointed minister to Belgium by the president in December, 1913—eight months before the German invasion. In his official capacity as minister, as director of American relief work, and as a trained observer of facts, he has had the bitter tragedy burned into his very soul. Now after three long years of silence his story, -written from a journal kept faithfully day by day. Until the war is ended and the history of America’s part in it is written there will be no bigger news paper feature than this, which starts through a fortunate arrangement with Mr. Whitlock, in The Sunday Journal February 17. The Journal has likewise arranged for many other big things for the year, 1918. Besides the eight serial novels al ready announced with more to come, arrangements have just been com pleted for an exclusive special leased wire and cable news service which will pour the latest war news and ex clusive news stories from all over the world into The Journal office every day. This is in addition to the splendid news service already being given Journal readers. The price of The Journal remains at $4 per year daily or $G with the big Sunday Journal.

O’Neill Resident Loses Cousin In Aviation Service. The following from the True North erner, of Paw Paw, Michigan, gives an account of the death of Lieu tenant Carl S. Mather, of that city, who was killed in an aeroplane acci dent at Houston, Texas, two weeks ago. Lt. Mather was a cousin of Mrs. M. E. Vernon of this city. “Lieut. Carl S. Mather, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Mather, was born in Paw Paw, May 26, 1894, and died January 30, 1918, at Houston, Texas, killed in an accident between two air planes that collided in the mists and clouds, causing the death of both of the flyers. “Carl was the first Paw Paw man to give up his life in this terrible world war, and his death brings home to this community a vivid realization of the great struggle in which our country is engaged and in which so many of the finest young men are patriotically giving their service and their lives, if such shall be their fate. Carl was a young man of more than ordinary intelligence and ability and had good reason to look forward to a brilliant and honorable career. He had a large circle of faithful friends and was loved and respected by all who knew him. • “He obtained his education in Paw Paw, and was a graduate of our high school, class of 1913. Soon after his graduation, he became a student at the Hammondsport, N. Y. school of Aviation, and soon became an expert birdman. Shortly after a state of war was declared to exist between America and Germany he offered his services to his country and was com missioned a Second Lieutenant and sent to Houston, Texas, as an in structor in the Aviation Corps and it was while engaged in this service that he came to his untimely death. Be sides the father and mother, one sister Mrs. Frank Connor, and two brothers Harry of this place and Leo, who is ‘Somewhere in France’ are left to mourn his death. “The family and friends have the sincerest and most heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. “The body was shipped home for burial and funeral services were held at the Christian church last Wednes day afternoon, conducted by Rev. C. H. Heaton and Rev. H. Freeman pastor of the church. His casket was draped in the stars and stripes and a large flag was given a conspicuous place in the church. The High School attended the service in a bady, and the profusion of beautiful flowers all combined to g;ive eloquent testimony to the esteem in which Carl was held; and was an intense and zealous ex pression of loyalty to the cause for which he died.” Qualified. “Ever had any experience in farm work?” “Not exactly,” answered the agri culturalist recruit, “but I’m a first class automobile mechanic and driver. Got a tractor?”—Birmingham Age Herald. STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP.

Any kind of iron and every kind of steel rusts unless pro tected from moisture. With one exception—all mal leable ranges are of three-ply construction. The outer casing or main range body, then a layer of asbestos—-then an inner lin ing of iron. The outer casing and inner lining are fit against the asbestos. Asbestos is a sub stance that absorbs moisture from the air. No matter how hot it becomes it will be full of moisture within thirty minutes after being removed from the heat. When you build a fire the heat drives the moisture to the other side of the asbestos onto the cold range body. There it con denses or sweats on the cold iron until the heat dries it up. Rust begins with the first fire and is fed by this sweating con dition every time the range is fired up. The rust is on the in side. You don’t know—you never suspect it until it rusts through. Then it is too late. In the Copper-Clad Range the asbestos is clad with a sheet of copper which never rusts. The sweat never gets to the iron body. It can’t rust out. Come and let us show you. See the asbestos sweat. Know for yourself. Warner & Sons, O’Neill, Neb.
