An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an efiica-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. AS result he has
brought ont and patented a pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most vic
ions dog cannot withstand few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
yet there is no danger of actually in
juring valuable animal which might
playfully annoy rider. The weapon
has proved so much of success as a
means of defense as well as fun-m max
ing, that the lucky inventor is realizing 6

THOMAS JsEEERsoN,s DAY.
dis Name Is Inseparably Linked With the
Glorious Fourth.

Thomas Jefferson, as near as any
one man, may be called the patron
saint of the Fourth of July because he
wrote the instrument whose adoption
signalizes that holiday, and his name
IS further associated with the date
because on this day in 1926 he died.
The briefest summary of the events in
his life is as follows:
''Thomas Jefferson was born at
Shadwell, Albemarle County, Va,
April 13, 1743. On his tomb at
Monticello is, Born April I'd, 1743,
o. S. He died at Monticello, near
Charlottesville, Va, at l o'clock p. m,
July a, 1926, at more than eighty-three
years of age.
''Before 17G6, in Virginia, he began
to agitate against the misrule Of King
George, and joined Patrick Henry,
George Wythe and others in deter
mined opposition to tyranny.
''He advocated common schools and
the abolishment of slavery. He caused
the passage of q law prohibiting the
importation of slaves into Virginia.

September, 1776, he spent three years

have neglected the beet as an import

its use as source for procuring sugar,
not that the beet is as valuable us

larger increase in production from
cattle by reason of the feeding of sue
culent food, and although there is
some preparation required for all
kinds Of roots before feeding them to
stock, such labor Is unnecessary when
the beet pulp from the factories is

grain giving better results than when
