Pacific American Fisheries Company. dis

cate that he has committed suicide. He
had lost $50 gambling during the evening.

take drink he remarked that no one
would ever see him take another drink IN
Friday Harbor. Soon after that he Is
reported to have been seen going toward
his home. In the outskirts OF the village.
where his wife and several children live
in a little Imprinted ba.tened house. But
II seems that he did not 80 there and as
he Was not seen In town the next day II
was supposed that he had gone back 10
the fish traps on the salmon banks. where
he was employed. and as he a.d not ap-
pear there his fellow employees supposed
he was ~ home. And so IT came about
that the fact of his disappearance did
not become known until Wednesday af-
sernoon. Nelson is q Scandinavian. OF

What will the inventive brain of mai

asks almost daily. There is one, though,
who leads all others, who for quarter
of a century has been making fire laun-

public the finest starch ever placed on
the market.
Ask your grocer for a coupon book
which will enable you to get the first
two packages of this new starch, RED

children's Shakespeare pictures, paint
ed in twelve beautiful colors, natural as

are authorized to give ten large pack
ages of RED CROSS STARCH" with
twenty of the Shakespeare pictures or
ten of the Twentieth Century Girl Cal

This is one of the greatest offers ever
made to introduce ''RED CROSS" laun-

A FINANCIAL EXPERT.
He Got Busy with the Managing Edi-

Discontinue.

There is a gentleman in Chicago-and the
boom of cannon fired in front of the
Times Herald office would easily carry to
him as he sits at his desk-who has made a
study of economies and who writes financial
editorials.
A few weeks ago the managing editor took
a vacation and the financial expert was left
in general charge of the paper. One morn
ing recently he received a letter from the
managing editor, who wrote
81 am stranded over here in Canada. l

you please send me a draft for the sum

OF course he would 1t would be pleas
ure to accommodate the managing editor.
So the great financial expert hurried over
to the First national bank, in which he kept
his account, and asked for draft for $50 to
send to MS friend. The bank officer gave
him paper to sign, and after giving direc-
tions where to send the draft the writer re-
turned to his desk.
Two or three uneventful days passed, and
there came another letter from the managing
editor.
Dear sir" he wrote, az asked you to
send me some money, and l told you | was

on me for $50? / have telegraphed to a
friend, who has sent money to pay my way

OZARK AGRICULTURE.
How Farmers Practice Rotation of
Crops I'm That Prolific
Region.

Ozark humor appreciates the story that a
scientist was quite amazed the other day at
observing a farmer, after killing a nest OF
snakes turned up by the plow, arrange tic
dead snakes in the furrow before he went
back to the pillow.
why did you do that, my good man,
the scientist asked.
The farmer looked curiously ut the
scientist, and, seeing that he was really III
search Of information, replied:
Il do that so the plow will cover the
snakes on the next round"
Seeing that the scientist was still mysti-
Ge:, the farmer continued:
Il cover the snakes so that they will de-
compose. That is what you call it, isn't it =
les?' said the scientist, with a rising in
Election.
'Weil," continued the farmer, "the de-
composition of animal matter furnishes
rourishment for plant life, believer"
"Yes?" again said the scientist.
'Then, snakes will make corn grow, won t
they?" triumphantly asked the farmer.
"Tess" said the scientist.
And more corn will make more whisky,
won't it," said the farmer.
YES" said the scientist.
"And whisky will make more snakes,
won't it? Mister, that is what we call rota-
ton in the agriculture of this region. st.

A RARE INSTANCE.
An Unusual Experience Which the
Bicycle Dealer Would Like
to Have Repeated.

A heavy man with square jaw walked
into a bicycle exchange the other after
noon. The proprietor advanced to wait
on him.
Gimme bike" said the square-jawed
man.
ITO buy?"
"Yep."
"What make"
"Any old make"
Heres our specialty-good machine"
"All right, is it,"
Good as any made"
''How much?"
Fifty"
Dab little graphite on the chain and
pump her up"
The proprietor dabbed little graphite on
the chain and pumped her up. The square
jawed man pulled out wad of the size of
his wrist, skinned off fifty and handed it to
the proprietor. Then he ran the machine
out to the curb, got on it and rode off.
When the proprietor got over being
stunned he went to three or four friends on
the block to get their opinion as to whether
the $50 was counterfeit or the real thing.
The bill was genuine, and the proprietor has
been more or less dazed ever since.
Il can't understand such swift action as
that in the bike business" he says, with a
puzzled air.-Washington Post.

Cheaper Than Hog-KiIIing,

The Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis railroad has concluded that it is
cheaper to fence its road, where mostly
needed, than to pay for the killing of
hogs, cattle and other stock. The COM
pany has erected on either side of it's
track from Union City to Terrell, neat
and substantial wire fence. The track
will mostly be fenced where farm
fences are so close on either side that
cattle and stock become panic-stricken
and run upon the track.
