BUILDING IT ONE’S TOWN.
Tlie Saturday Evening Post pub-
lishes an article muting forth how
many towns, in reaching out for big
opportunities from outside, neglect
less ambitious but more substantial
chances for growth existing at home.
It told of a Chamlier of Commerce in
a Southern City, that lmd worked up
a movement to get more factories from
other places.1 They had arranged a
trig dinner to promote enthusiasm.
They hnd invited as their guest u
prominent man in the industrial world.
He told them more solid sense in five
minutes, than their orators had put
Into all the rest of the evening. He
warned them to exercise caution how
tlmy hacked costly schemes to start
now factories making lines of goods
for which there was no labor supply
in sight. Jle .urged them to develop
the resources they already had.
Ho the bnslness community dropped
for the time being, their more ambi-
tious projects, aud developed home re-
sources. They found one man operating
n trunk factory employing six people.
They helped him expand so he em-
ployed more help. They .went'along
this line, providing capital and ma-
chinery for little, Industrie* that
seemed sound and capable of growth.
They built belter roads to facilitate
movement of produce. In two yen rs
they lmil incrqgsed population by
2,(WO workers.
This advice holds gisid In most
towns, whether little or big. A great
advance can sometimes Is* made by
attracting In outside industries. But
these chances come rarely. Meanwhile
the most hopeful chance in a town like
ours is usually to help the existing
Industries expand, to encourage am-
bitious young men to start, to de-
velop the near by country, and make
the place so good a residence town
that people will like to live in it.
HEAT AND SLEEP.
Too hot to sloop? Nonsense! It is
perfectly natural and human that the
first hot spell should make one think
so, but it is not true.
Take a cool lmtli, loosen the strings
of yonr mind, reflect that sleep doesn’t
matter anyhow—If you rest quietly it
will do you just as much good. And
behold, it ,will lie morning.
The one fundamental requirement
of getting through hot weather com-
fortably Is enough sleep. People can
stand anything, no matter how hard,
no matter how enervating, if only they
sleep enough between steges. Tlie temp-
tation to stay out an extra hour or
two to cool off is great, but the regu-
lar liedUine is tlie good old standby.

SANG REQUIEM OF THE HUN
Hew the Cannon Roared During the
GlorldUs Offensive of the Forest
of Argonne.
It was night In France and the great
Argonne offensive was on.
The section chiefs grew hoarse
shouting their commands, the gunner
corporals manipulated their sights
with speed and accuracy and the gun
crews eagerly put forth superhuman
effort In serving their pieces which
were heflfg loaded und tired as quickly
se possible. The terrific detonations
shook the forest which actually seemed
like n live, throhhing,"burning monster,
who vomited fire and flniiVe, anil roared
Inhumanly with Its terrible voice.
Every man In the four gun crews' was
soon rendered temporarily deaf. Lit
lip by (he ghastly flashes from tlie Are
of their own gun«. they looked like
veritable devils, tlielr faces' g!earning
wllh fiendish Joy ns they leaped Into
the pit to shift the gtm trail or sprang
to (he wheels, ;it which they tugged
ami pulled with might and main. It
was exceedingly tiresome work for the
earnest lads. Ji'he rate of fire was so
rapidwas necessary for them
to p: 11 *1 on a By In order to per-
mit the Intensely heated pieces to cool.
ft presented a thrilling seene-ttf seiY
Ir the (11m light of the early dawn, a
stalwart lad, bareheaded, eyes heavy
and red from the burning powder gas,
his square Jaws grimly set nod shirt
open at the throat, his arms bare to the
Plhoivs nnd Idnek with grease, standing
out ftiAre, swabbing out the steaming
gun with the slender rammer. A
lanyard broke from too constant use
on one of the gqns. Not hesitating n
moment to repair it, the “No. 1” man
simply used his fingers to draw hack
the ‘‘striker.” A lad fell limp nnd ex-
hausted Into the gun pit, but wns
quickly pulled out of danger, where
he lay quite still and wns undisturbed
by the terrible harm go. Another man
quickly took Ids comrade's place.
So the terrible tight continued. The
great Iron orchestra played its terrible
symphony madly until ten o’clock In
ibe. morning, when the tired musicians
began one by one, to lay aside tlielr
weary instruments, for the score they
hsil been playing hod sent the Fritz-
ies scampering over the hills aud far
away.

gaged in prolonged conversation ivitli
allied representatives and the hour for

Hanging Between the Two.
Last summer the Hulman brothers,
at T< rre Haute, gave the Rose Poly-

school. Tlie year before that they
gave the land for Calvary cemetery.
One of their townsmen recently met
Herman, the younger brother, on his
way to his farm, which Is between the
two pieces of ground above mentioned.
“Well, Herman, he remarked smiling-
ly, “I see you’ve solved that often
disputed question of whether we
should consider our cemeteries or
seminaries of the more Importance.”
Mr. Hulman looked at him. and then
• his eyes twinkled. “Not exactly solved
It." he drawled. “You know where tny
