Wonderful Record.

Byrd Kelley was up from the
Hardy Sandies this week on bust.
ness and to "jolly" bit with his
friends. Byrd says that he and
John Adams have buried the
hatchet, figuratively speaking, and
are boon companions, these days.
John Is experimenting IN the agrl-
cultural line and Byrd watches his
experiments with intense interest.
He tells Of one of Johns schemes
which he emphatlcally voncbes for.
He says John read in an agricul-
tural journal that squashes could
be increased In size by feeding them
during their growth with milk.
So be planted some sqnashes and
immersed one end of the vine that
had squash attached into a pan
of sweet milk, so that it absorbed
as much as quart q day. The
squash grew to enormous size and
was the admiration Of that whole
section. But that was not all.
On cutting 1t ope1 1t was found to
contain seven pounds and fourteen
ounces of fine rich butter. I'm
fortunately the squash was seedless,
SO the variety was lost to the
world. -Hallettsyille, Tex. Her.

What To Do In A Storm.

So many Ipersons, especially
women, are frightened at severe
thunder storms that the following
instructions telling one what to dG
in such cases, furnished by j.
Warren Smith, q director Of one vi
the Government weather bureaus,
will be acceptable. He says:
"rhunder storms occur when
there is very rapid condensation

It is held by most scientists that
the lightning fash is an oscilla-
tory discharge. repeated frequently
TO and fro between cloud and cloud
or between the fash and the thumb
'er. The distance OF the flash in
miles is approximately equal to one
fifth OF the number Of seconds be-
tween the fash and the thunder.
The number OF people killed by
lightning each year in the United
States averages about 800, the
greater loss OF life being lu July.
Small articles of metal do not have
the power to attract lightning, but
one should not stand under trees
during thunder storms, in the door.

Some Mystery Around the Death Of Arthur
Haserot, Cleveland, Ohio.

New Haven. CT, May 9.-Arthur

land. Ohio, was found shot to death in
is room in Welsh hall. one of tha ca,,
pus dormitories. today, ana an inyes-
tigatioh INTO the cause is being con-
Quoted
Medical Examiner Bartlett said. to-
night. thai he believed death was the
result of an accident or suicide. bu,
farther than that he would not discuss
the case.
Hascrots body was found by one of
ms rCOmmates and after it was yiewod
ty the medical examiner it was remov .
ed 10 an undertaKer's.
The case is being kept very quiet and
further than the fact that the ycun.,
man WAS found dead nothing of,icia,
has been given out.
A revolver was found near Hasernt's
side and bullet wound in his head.
Roy w. Hemingway of Syracuse. N.
V. was the roommate of young Hase-
rot and he said. tonight. that Haserot
attended his first recitation as usual
and seemed to be in his usual good
spirits. There was no intimation that

rot. he said, had there been Il time
when he e:en suspected that his room

Iot's right temple. probably producing
instant death. No one of the many
students III the don mitory heard tn"
shot ana not until Hemingway turned
the body of his companion over WAS il
known that u tragedy had occurred.
Tie manner in which Haserot was
shot IS almost conclusive proof that
he committed suicide.

is that he was temporarily out of his
