In proceeding to open the stiff spring jaws of the trap, he apparently used his gun as a lever, with his foot holding down one side of the spring. While thus engaged the barrel brolse from the stock of the gup, and the parts dropping to the ground, the trig. ger struck an old rail. One of the shells waa discharged and struck the young man in the abdomen just below the breast bone, He took a few steps and dropped over dead.

He was well thought of in that section snd his sad and up timely end ls a shock to all his ace quaintances, Funeral services were conducted at the home Batorday forenoon at 9 o'- clock and burial made at Rosecrans.

At the beginning of each sunceeding month the coat of the stamp will Increase one cent, All war-savinge stamps lesued during 1918 will mature January 1, 1923, when they will be redeemed at §6 each, The difference between purchase price and the price of malurity represents the in- terest the Government will pay the bolder, 4 per cent compounded qusart- erly. The entire wealth and security of the United States Is behind the war- eavings certificates, No person may purchase at one time more than a $100 worth, or hold at one time more than $1,000 worth of these securities, Thrift stamps costing 25 cents each may be purchased from time to time and affixed to a thrift card, which is supplied without cost. These stamps will not bear interest, but a thrift card when filled at a cost of $4 may be ex- changed for an interest-bearing war- savings stamp by turniog the card in and paying the diflerence between $4 and the current price of a war-savings stamp, With the first purchase will be obtained without charge a war-aavings certificate containing space for 20 of these stamps. If the 20 spaces are filled prior to Jan- uary 31, 1818, the cost to the purchaser will have been $4.12 for each stamp, or $52.40 for the filled certificate, and on Jauuasry 1, 1923, the Government will redeem it at 8100, giving the holder a net profit of $17.60 for the use of his money. Money derived from war-saviogs io vestments will be used to meel the ex- penses of the war, The greater part of these funds will be expended within the United States. —————— AA ——A——— Water nad Coal Shortage.

Rossman Spring Mills SOAP FROM ASHES Arabs Get Cleansing Substance From Desert Plants, Dalook, Which Is Burned to Produce “Hottom,"* Bprouts From the Barren Rocks, Although the consumption of soap has largely Increased in the district around Aden, there is still an import- ant local trade in hottom, which is used us a substitute for soap. Hottom is the Arabic names for the ashcakes which result from the burning of & desert plant that grows plentifully in this part of Arabla. The plant from which hottom is made i8 a glasswort or saltwort; both Salicornla herbacea and Salsola kall are said to be found in this region and used for the purpose, The Arabs eall this plant dalook, and say that it Is a natural one, because it sprouts from the ground where it would not geem possible that there could have been seeds or any other means of re- production, As a reason for thelr belief they point to the parched and barren rocks of Aden from which, when there is one of the rare rainfalls, these plants sprout in great numbers, but usually never to mature. The Arabs of the desert gather these plants and plle them in pits dug in the sand. They are then burned to ashes, the ashes forming a hard cake in the bottgn of the pit, The product comes into cenmel caravan from the camel carrying from two to three cukes, It Is estimated that 6.500 to 7.000 maunds. of 28 poundk each of hottom are sold each year in the Aden market, Much greater quantities are iced and used In the Aden hinter land and in the Arabian Red Bea prove inces, gays a United States commerce report from Aden, The local govern- nt levies a tax of 1 cent per maund all the hottom sold in Aden, The principal purchasers of this product are the native laundrymen and vers, From the former it derives an much used by Euro. om hans the appear- es of dark mud.

The students in the fleld artillery branch of the service who attended the officers’ reserve training camp at Fort Riley never knew before there was just one way to harness and unharness f horse, or that it was such a compli- cated job. Some of them were reared on farms or ranches, but they never groomed a horse like Uncle Sam's men do, says the Kansas City Star, Every student has two horses he must care for, He must harness them up, ride one and lead the other. When he is through he must unharness them, Sometimes he works by the hour hare nesting and unharnessing, so he, too, will be able to do it In the dark. After that comes the grooming of the horses, 14 sounds simple, but it isn't. The lessohs of the students In grooming are practical ones and the horses have to stand for it, whether they like it or not. Sometimes a horse will spend all morning being groomed, pot because he needs it, but because the students need the tralning, _ No Use for It. Pat walked into the post office.
