WAR SHORN OF ITS GLAMOR
Modem Painters, Who Themselves
Have Looked on Death, Depict
Slaughter as It Really Is.
For the first time In history war Is
painted it is. The varnish, the
glory has been taken off. It stands
out in all its sodth n horror. The
opening of the Su on des Artiste;*
Fr.MiDRiis, tilled for the most part with
canvases of men who have been in the
trenches, show an astonishing ab-
sence of battle scenes.
Most of the painters have sought in-
spiration elsewhere. Those who have
found it in the war have rendered
only the dull misery of life at the
front.
They show no «lash of armies,
these painters who have bdbn through
the war, no flourish of trumpets, not
even fragments of general fights. But
war as it is. A soldier, limping toward
the lines, exhausted, despairing, hold-
ing up to his mouth a handkerchief,
dark as a clot of blood is what one
sees. The face Is distorted with suf-
fering. and the unit’- rra is of that in-
deserib d le ■ ole-r which comes only
from continual exposure to the ele-
menrs. Garry p: infs a blinded soldier

Men of Sc once Forced to Admit Exact
Results From Their Calculations
Are Not Possible.
The celebrated observatory at Green-
wich, the place from which we reckon
longitude, was founded by Charles II
in lt»73 umtnly for the purpose of in
vest S iting the movement!* of the moon
lu the interests of navigation. Although
in the intervening two and a half cen-
turies astronomers have worked at the
problem, the moon has not yet become
entirely amenable to their mathemat-
ics. la a recent report of the obver-
| vatory at Greenwich attention is in-
vited to the increasing deviation be-
tween the calculated position of the
moon in the sky and Its real posit I ou
shown by the Greenwich observations.
The deviation has lately been growing
In a serious manner. The error last
year was more than twelve times as
large as the error twenty years ago.
and the average annual increase dur-
ing the two decades has amounted to
half a second of arc In longitude. The
reason that astronomers have failed
In getting exact results from calcula-
tions based on the dynamical laws of
gravitation Is poaaibly the existence
of some attractive force that they have
not yet discovered, although the result >
may also be affected by the true shape
of the earth, which still awaits ac-
curate determination.

LIKE STORY OF OLDEN TIMES
Supernatural Comes Again to Play
Recognized Part in Affairs of Men
in Country Which Calls Itself
Civilized.
Washington, D. 6.—A man is ac-
cused of beating his wife to death,
and Is brought before u high tribunal
for trial. Judge and jurors and audi-
ence sit and listen in respectful si-
lence while the ghost of the dead wom-
an testifies that she herself procured
the iron bur with which she was killed,
that slu* had intended to kill her hus-
band with it. and that he had great
provocation to kill her.
This sounds like ,a story of olden
times. It might have laippene<l*ln any
of the great ages of superstition
when men believed in the supernatural
even more than /hey did in the nat-
ural.
Civilization Is supposed to have freed
man from these ancient fears, but It
has not done so. The fear Is still
latent in us, waiting for a chance to
express Itself. For example, the in-
cident related above happened, not in
the middle ages or In a fairy tale, but
In the Supreme court of the District
of Columbia a few days ago. The dead
woman’s mother testified that she bail
gone to several mediums, had con-
versed with the ghost of her daughter
and had so gotten the daughter’s
story of what happened. Still more
astonishing, she testified that an as
sistant United States attorney had ad
vised her to consult mediums. When
you take this in connection with the
fact that the Sitpreme court evidently
listened to the ghost conversation n
part of the testimony, you cannot bllnl
at the conclusion that n ghost has beer
admitted to a court of justice in the
United States. The • up« rnatuml hr
come again to play a formal and ree
ognized part In the affairs of men in r
■ tain try hleh calls Itsel civilized.
Spiritualism Involved.
Of course, the whole question o'
plrituaUsm is here involved. Then

Out in the West there is a certain
the grave of many fortunes. One man
after another has tried to get the
gold, and all have failed. Finally,
along came an Inventor with a most
D'.eniens and expensive plan for get
ting the gold. He had absolute faith
in if. Ir appeared that he was in rom-
mun!<*ation with the ghost of his dead
-ester, and that she had imparted this
plan to him. and had told him it was
sure to succeed. He spent every cent
he owned and could borrow on the
plan and lost it all. The ghost was
wrong.
Here Is another example of a med-
t dlesome ghost who sought to make
trouble. A young and attractive widow
was Invited by an older woman who
lived in the same boarding house to
Join her In some ouijit board excur-
sions to the land of the dead. They
j immediately g$t into communication
with the spirit of the young woman’s
• -lead husband. He proceeded to crit-
icize her goings and comings at great
length. He objected to the man she
went with. He told her that such and
such a man was immoral, that an-
other ate cocaine, that a third had a
wife living in Australia. He advised
her to give up all frivoliti « and stay
at home ni _ht\
Widow Is Troubled.
The young widow was considerably
troubled at first. But she had strong
common sense. She reflected that
even if .spiritism was .i true revelation,
there were fake mediums, and her el-
deriy friend might be one of them. !
She also reflected that her husband in
to lie about all p< -> e rivals, and she j
saw no reason to believe that death
had reformed him. Si •• v able to j
prove that some of the nn "-a- -s which
had bee:. - her from "T; • Beyond"
were not in accord wijh tlie facts.
When the next oui. i b*card session
came off. there was a struggle. Hub-
ble tried to get In - me more advice,
but the > • ung widow ta 1 strong hands.
Instead •>{ hut ‘ y, it was the defunct
aunt of h»*r elderly friend who got the
floor. This departed lady informed the
elderly friend that she was in danger
of serious financial reverses, that she ;
was apt to die a violent death, proba-
bly by falling down stairs, that the
rubber company In which she had
bought three shares ' stock was a
swindle, and that if she did not drink ;
less tea she would get cirrhosis of the
liver. All of this threw the good wom-
an into a sweat of appreheL-:*»n: the
ouija board readings were discontin-
ued. and the jlead husband lost his
only means of eomraunication with the
world of the living, to the great re-
lief of his w :dr.w.—Frederic J. H ask in

YVTHEN you buy 1 H C machines, you
’ ’ also buy the Service that goes with
them—the co-operation that exists between
us and the International Harvester Com-
pany, and which we intend to continue
with you. We expect to hold your con-
fidence in the 1 H C line by furnishing
the best implements, machines and farm
operating equipment on the market.
We render to you a double-barreled Service
in not only supplying you with first-class goods,
but in seeing that these goods are kept in perfect
running order long after the original sale is for-
gotten.
Genuine .

Our moral obligation does not stop with the
original sale, but you can hardly expect us to
assume any responsibility for the successful
operation of I H C machines if you buy imita-
tion repairs of inferior quality instead of buying
genuine 1 H C Repairs.
We sell only genuine I H C Repairs made by
the Harvester Company, and which are made of
the same materials as used for the original
machines. No imitation equals the genuine.
