Ralph Waldo Emerson was credit-1
ed with the famous statement that
if you build a mousetrap better than
aapone else the world will make a
pathway to your door, no matter if
you lire in the wilderness.
Some people think that is exaggerate*;
but it isn't.
Anybody with a big idea need not
go te New York or Chicago to work
it out-?he can make the citizens of
the great cities come to his door.
Of course, it isn't often done; but
ft can be done.
Two Illustrations occur to mind.
There arc the Mayo brothers in
Rochester. Minn. They lived in a
err small town and practiced inedietae.
But they were better surgeons
titan others, and now people from all
the cities of the land beat the tracks
te their door.
f'y* There is ?ut eye sr-icialist in Niles..
Stiftbv %ie gets pffftexts front all over
the middle west.
There is a music publishing firm <
la OstEaloosa, iowa. If there is one' <
thing that would appear as needing | i
the bright lights of a big city to help j'
\ it along it is the music publishing 1
buaiaoss. Yet there is scarcely a,
kar ^ nr nrphaatru in iHn an_ i ^
tire United States that does not useM
the Oskuloosa music. The appeal is1,
nation-wide. Similarly, another j j,
otic firm in Dayton, O., has its't
tuff sung in a large percentage of a
the churches of the country. v
If you've got the idea, don't wor- f
ry- about the rest. 1
But get the idea?that's more ini- |
per taut that carting it ofT to a big
town. t

There isn't the slightest doubt '
that the young men from Dillon
county and elsewhere who have been
called to the armies ?>i" Uncle Sam i
have heen benefited in health amaz-;
Ingly.
Look at them when mey return
a furlough. Isn't it a fact that
every one of our lads looks healthier.,
stronger, and physically more fit
than when he left?
Most certainly mothers will agree |
mat their hoys are being well taken|
care of no far as developing health I
sad strength are concerned.
Good food, medical attention, fresh
air and constant exercise have done
tfceir work. It is an unfortunate
fact that in private life few get
eeougti of these health necessities,
at least not in the proportion required
Tfce army is regenerating the
yenag men in it.

PARIS BOMBARDED (1
THROUGHOUT DAY ?

(Continued from page one) ji
He also touched on the possibility of' i
a propeller being employed on the']
projectile. 11
Alfred Capus. in The Figaro al-'<
ludes to the making of the gun as u t
great mechanical feet, but points out 1
that, as a military factor, the weapon <
is entirely inefficacious. The Petit
Parisien comments ur>on the bom- j
bardment as an extremely minor in- <
cident as compared with the gigantic \
battle in progress on the British j
front.
The Le Petit Journal says Jules
Verne had foreseen this gun and ith
declared, moreover, that it la al
French Invention. "More than a',
year ago," it adds, "we discovered ,
the secret of firing our cannon more
than 100 kilometres. The secret lies (
in the greater suppression of the at-;
mospheric resistance.
The Echo De Paris declares the i
bombardment is designed to give the
impression that Paris is within range
of the German guns. "It is a political
cannon," the newspaper says.
1 Premier Qlemenceau's newspaper,
L'Horame Libre, says the password
of the hour is confidence. "'Germany,"
it declared, "had wished to',
make it a complete offensive on all ] |
! fronts, as well as the 'front of the'
| rear.' We are facing an enemy who ,
| wishes to end it as soon as possible. |
That suits us. Every shell that falls (
I into Par's ir?v\~. !-?*o v.
confidence in an ultimate victory." : (
The newspaper Le Journal, in its!article
regarding the monster gun,: ^
says the piece of 240 millometres j
calibre is of Austrian manufacture.' (
It is a very delicate piece of machin-j,
ery which must be handled by expert >
mathematicians and gunners, the'j
newspaper adds, as the loading and (
pointing is a difficult task. It de- <
clares each shot costs about $4,000. |
"Thio .. - -
???.o is a new cuuveywon 01 our
enemies," the newspaper comments. |
The ordnance experts were oot|
reauy last night to commit thmselves'a
as to whether the shell was a sort of
aerial torpedo driven by propellers;
whether an inner projectile contained
in the original shell is released by (
in explosive after the shell has trav- g
sled a certain distance from the gun,
;r whether the original projectile
tself reaches its destination propell-idl
>d per hops by an explosive of a force
iltherto unknown. :
In yesterday's bombardment twen- ^
y-four shots in all were fired from'
r: 20 a. m. to 3 o'ciock p. m., a shell
Iropping every twenty minutes with
uonotonous regularity. The bom-! q
lardment presented all the charaeeristics
of a bombardment by heavy!
irtillery, there being regular inter-1
als between the shots and the shells ^
ailing within a restricted area. Ene- ^
ny aviators Hying high over the city
luring the early hours of the bomlardment
regulated the filing.
The government decided that|a
ho bombardment of Paris by long,
listanco guns shall not interrupt the
lormul life of the capital, but that!
:he population shall, be warned of, !
he bombardment by distinctive K
means, differing from the usual c
warning for am air raid. i

Feb. 15?Correspondence of the As"!f
sociated Press.) ? Leaps for life from'
burning observation balloons when ^
attacked by German airplanes were ^
described by observers of the British ,
royal Hying corps to an Associated |
Press correspondent when he visited
one of the camps behind the lines aj,
few ?lays ago.
These camps usually are located , ]
just out of range of the howitzer' ^
shells, although still well within the t
range of the German high-velocity j
naval guns which devote their time
to shelling the back areas.
A balloon ascent at the front is1
never a light undertaking, and one
day recently when the correspondent ,
visited a station in a fairly inactive!
part of the line, six balloons contain-'j
ing twelve men were shot down byj
German airplanes, all within sight
of one another. One of the German
i..iF.aucD na? uuwiicu uy anu-airj
craft fire from the ground.
It was a day when the visibility ,
was put down on the chart as "good" ,
but there were many white clouds in
the sky which offered good cover for
j the German airplanes.
I One of the twelve officers who were ,
I compelled to reach terra firma by the j
I parachute route told the story of his,
trip. "We were perched at 3,500 ,
feet," he said, "and had been up only
half an hour when a column of
smoke two miles southward attract|
ed our notice.' 'There goes No. 10,'|
said my observer, and we brought
>( the balloon had gotdear la time,
rust then two similar specks appeared
suddenly from under another balo^n,
wurning us that the boehe ems
>ut for a wholesale^kU|ias this time,
[t seemed like a full minute before
ire.saw a thin black streak curl ud
from this seooad balloon, and the
rolume of smoke Increased as the
Mdloon sank, with eTer-satherind
momentum, down to earth. Six
more white specks now appeared and
ilnce it was evident that the entire
line was beins attacked, I fare the
jrder to haul down.
"At l.uoo feet I ordered the winch
topped. No more bolloone had been
tucked, and although onra * was
now the only one up. I could see
British fighting planqp ascending
from the earodromes behind us to
chase away the enemy. So I decided
to venture up again. We asceiyled
to 3,000 feet this time, and soon
were at work again.
"Then suddenly something happened.
It happened swiftly as in a
dream. We didn't even see the German
albatros approaching, but .our
ground office? and his scouts gave us
the alarm just a second-or two before
the hawk was on us. I heard
my observer, at the telephone, say
suddenly, "What's that? Stand by!
Good Heavens!' Then he turned
calmly to me and said with a smile,
'Sorry, old man, we must get out at
once.' He helped me over the side
first, and I had t confused notion
thut somewhere or other, near at
hand, a machine gun was baar>ng
away briskly.
"I dropped, and heard a 'wumph'
as the parachute left its case. This
wa8 the last sensation I attempted
to analyze as I fell like a stone for
3000 feet. 1 saw the balloon shoot
violently upwards, and then my view
was blotted out by a large white umbrella,
which suddenly appeared
above my head, and I realized that
the parachute had opened. I didn't
look down as I felt my body swaying
pnsilv in the breeze. The road above
rf.<A .... . . A'hrtro" had done
its work and ihe balloon was atire.
V'ou cannot, of course, manoeuver a
parachute, and there is always the
possibility of the burning balloon
>vertaking you and burning your only
ueans of escape.
"But before I reached the ground,
[ saw, far in front, the .Albatross
irashing to earth, minus a wing.
She had been hit by a cluster of ani-aircraft
shells.
"The next thing I knew was that I
vas lying in the middle of a ploughd
held, while a short distance off I
aw my observer coming across to-|
vard me."
All twelve of the oncers of the
wrecked balloons escaped safely on
his ccoasion. They are not always
o fortunate. At this same station
few days before an officer was shot
nd killed while dropping in his parbhute.
His balloon had been set
fire by a German airplane, and as
su-.il he and his companion took to
leir parachutes. They had hardly
ot clear of the balloon when the sticking
airplane swooped down on
lem, its machine gun in full play,
ne of the officers was killed, and
Ithougli the other escaped -his parahute
was torn by a bullet and sevral
of its cords were cut. Few men
ave been nearer dewth and lived to
)11 the tale.
The balloon commander told the
Lory of an officer who had gone up
lone and whose balloon was shelled
rhen flying at 4,000 feet. One these
cessions it is dangerous to haul
own for the position of the winch
} thereby given away to the enemy
unners. At last, however, after a
loud of sharpnel smoke had appeard
almost under the basket and no
esponse came down the telephone
rire to inquire as to whether every-j
hin&, was all right the ground officer
;ave the order to haul down. Ten
ninutes later the car touched the
rround and the observer was found
ying at the bottom of the basket
mconscious, but unhurt. It was a
>ad case ot shell shock, from which
he officer was several months in reovering.
A few days ago, at a nearby staion,
a balloon suddenly caught fire
or no apparent reason. The two ob?ervers
tried to escape in their para hutes,
but the blazing balloon overlook
them and they were killed.
Theories as to the caues of the disister
were numerous, but the one
nost generally accepted was that the
palloon had been fired by an electric
*park from a thunder cloud. The
fact that the wire cable had parted
near the balloon was said to give
support to this theory. It was the
parting of this cable which was generally
responsible for the death of
the observers, because it made impossible
the towing of the burning
balloon clear of the parachute.
