Mr. Hoover made public 1 letter
to Chairman Kahn of the hoime mil

called attention "to the terrible tit

I and effort of relief agencies to tave

"I am addrcising you," he laid, "in
the hope that congress might author
ize the secretary of war to donate

clothing, surplus medical and food
! supplies a cannot be advantageously
j used by the army or as cannot be

tary Weeks informs me that there
are considerable quantities of such
things costing the government large
amounts for storage and preserva
tion, and I believe no greater pur
pose could be found for their appli

was a survey ol conditions in the
Tartar republic by J. P. Gregg, an
investigator of the American Relief
administration, which told of the fail
ure of that government to meet the
' 2f famine needs of the people, lie es-
at about 1.250,000 and declared the

, Fire Whistle Is
Cause of Debate
Plattsmouth Council Has
Stormy Session at Reopening
Of Fire Department Row.
Flattsmouth, Neb., Oct. 26. (Spe
cial.) Dissension has arisen in the
ranks of the heretofore peaceable city
council as an aftermath to the dis
banding of a disgruntled volunteer
fire department and organization of
another from among the business
, men of the city,. Instead of being
over the question, "curfew shall not
ring tonight," the argument has de
veloped into a fight for and against
the blowing of the Burlington shop
whistle in case of fires.
When the old department was com
posed largely .of shopmen, the siren
whistle was sounded to call them
forth to batthe fires. At niRht its
shrill blasts rent thhe ait, and op
ponents of the practice say it would
have awakened even Rip Van Win
kle, had he lived anywhere in these
parts.
On the organizing of the new de
. partmcnt a modern Jjr,e truck was
placed in service and the .vltistle gave
way to the silent telephone alarm to
individual members. Firemen claim
this is much more efficient, elimi
nates arousing everyone in the city
and having hundreds of curious by
standers, who are more of a hind
rance than help to the department, as
well as affording relief from para
lyzing the telephone exchange by
calls for information a3 to the loca
tion of the' fire when the operators
should be free to han-.lle calls front
and to the firemen. .- -
Debate marked the evening's ses
sion of the city law-makers; end
when the motion to resume the blow
in sr of the shop whistle for fires was
called up for vote, five of the 10
couneilmen declared themselves
against it, four were in favor and
one passed. "Fire whistle shall not
blow tonight" in Plattsmouth.
Corn-Eating Dog Owned
v By Central City Farmer
George Matthews of Denver, who
was a visitor at the stock yards, told
of a visit he made-last week near
Central City, where he saw a regular
corn-eating dog, the property, of
Harry Frank of Central City. Mr.
Matthews said the dog was a pure
bred shepherd and exhibited prefer
ence for corn over all other foods.
He said the' dog would go to the
crib three times a day and pick out
the best corn and gnaw it off the
cob with apparent relish. And what's
more, it is said, the dog is in the
best of physical ' condition.

next verse tells us much: "And be

These two men, after it was all

The Kaleidoscope.
The kaleidoscope was invented in
April, 1818, by Dr. Brewster of Lon

who realized the value of the toy
and forestalled the real inventor. It
is said that in three months 250,000

kinds of blunders and tome are led
away by popular heretics which are
e&sy to the flesh, simply because
they don't read and ponder and in
wardly digest .the living, abiding
words of the Lord.
In World Politics.
The greatest among writers and
statesmen have been devoted readers
of the Hible. The works of Shake
speare, Scott, Dickens, Emerson and
all the clastic writers are saturated
with Scriptural phrases. In world
politics it is the same. What
strenxthened Lincoln, John Bright
and William Gladstone and gave
them their powers of expression but
knowledge of the word of God?
Jesus, when only 12 years old, sat
rmong the doctors of thought and
literature, and He sits there today,
while the greatest masters bow in
His presence.
If we only will read our Bible and
listen to its echo withiu us, we will
not fail to bow to righteousness, take
off our hats to truth, and like Moses,
our shoes as well, feeling that we
are standing on holy ground.

WHY
It "Bsffie' a Synonym for "Defeat P
When, in the literature f tmliy,
it is necessary to ute a synonym for
"defeat." "(ail" or "outwit." the
word "baffle" is a recognised equiv

tents an inter .tin study in ancient
cuitoms and medieval practices, fur
it was formerly applied to a particu
lar species of physical mmUhmrnt.
Thus, in Beaumont and Fletcher's
'King and No King," a cowardly
soldier t'Hs of his experiences by
saying "They hung me tin by the
heels and beat me with hard sticks
so that the whole liugdoin took no
tire of me for a hauled fellow."
"Bafflinc, in the days of chivalry,
was the name applied to the cere
mony in which a perjured or recre
