the streets of Kenly a few weeks ago,

Hello! there's Jack!
Yes, there are some people that re-
mind you of kicking mules, for the
reason their kicking does them more
harm than it does anything or any
body else.
I'm sorry for one who always has
grudges against others I've often
wondered how a man feels who bears
malice-whose soul is filed with
venom-who kicks all the time.
I've been sick for the last few days;
had bad cold, an ugly cough and
some very well remembered symptoms
of the grippe. l tried to write yester-
day. but it was hard work, for between
coughing End severe pains in my head
and back / couldn't write a sentence
that old Lindley Murray could have
put any sense in. SO l had to give it
up, Seeing my condition the home
doctors took me in hand, and made
me put my feet in some scalding hot
water. that was pretty highly impreg-
mated with mustard seed; and, after
that l had to go TO bed and miss my
supper-that is going to the table
and lie abed all night and until the
doctor came this morning. He pre-
scribed and said he'd call again to-
morrow morning. So, the reader sees
how it is, and will, | am sure make all
sorts of allowances
Good news! Four hundred pages of
my book are in type; only one hundred
to set If the machines hold out q
little longer the book will be apt to
come forth. l am sure that there II
be a change, for the better, along all
lines, after the people have bought and
read copies of Whitaker's Reminis-
cences. If you have not done SO,
send in your order at once, or you
may not get a copy.

Water in the Big Ditch.

1t was announced yesterday that
water would be turned in the big
canal of the Palisade Irrigation Dis
trict today for the first time this
season and for the first time since
the extensive repairs and extensions
We're made.
The Palisade Irrigation District
now controls one of the biggest irri-
CATION canals in the west. The prop
erty of the old High Line Mutual
District was purchased and added to
the district and all the water stock in
the former company was purchased.
Bonds were issued to the amount of
100000 and easily sold.
The main canal is now double in
size and fourteen miles in length.
The canal No. 2, the new ditch, is :
miles in length and is of the size of
the old ditch before it was enlarged
a great deal of new territory is
brought under irrigation as a result
of these extensive improvements
The water users will get better and
more satisfactory service.
The officers of the district are to
be congratulated upon the success
of the big undertaking.
The big pumping station of the
district at Palisade is the largest in
the valley.

\ Large Crowd Attended.

Last evening at the Christian
church. under the auspices of the w
c. 7. L., the third Demorest silver
medal contest of the year was held
The church was well filled with the
friends of the contestants. and the
entertainment proved very interest
ing and profitable.
Miss Grace Sharp of the Bethel
community won the medal Her sub
iect was Pictures From Life" The
other young ladies did exceedingly
we'll. Every number was good and
every recitation was well delivered.
Messrs. p. A. Rice and w
5. Sullivan acted as judges.
The special features were also
good. The violin solo by Mesdames
McNulty and Dicliie was very beau
tiful. The song by the little chill
lren of Miss Watkins class made a
great hit with the audience.
While the judges were out, the lit
lie Misses Cole. daughters of Prof
Cole, gave recitations. They did re
markably well and were enthusiastic
cally applauded. The little misses
are pupils of Miss Catherine Tupper
the talented elocutionist.
The contest was one of the most
enjoyable ever held in the city.

THE STARFlSH,
This Peculiar Creature Can Neither
See, Hear Nor Smell.

This Peculiar Creature Can Neither
See, Hear Nor Smell.
Unlike man, the starfish which loses
one of Its "arms," or properly it's rays,
grows new one to take Its place. Un-
der certain conditions it grows two to
take the place Of one. A starfish may
lose all Its rays without losing its life,
and very often cripple with but sin
gle ray left is found by fishermen and
collectors. When completely broken in
two the starfish becomes two distinct
fish, and the growing process contin-
ues. The brittle starflsh, it is believed,
In many instances breaks off its own
rays Mt the approach of danger. For
this reason it is difficult to obtain a per-
feet specimen.
A starflsh can neither see nor hear
Neither has 1t the sense of smell. In
spite Of these seeming impediments,
nevertheless, 1t seeks and devours it's
prey US neatly as an ordinary fish. The
starfish lies upon its prey and folds its
arms" or rays, completely about 1t.
Then 1t pushes It's stomach out through
its mouth and will wrap even large
oyster and shell within the folds Of the
stomach. The mouth of the starfish is
In the center Of its rays.
Some great ships are today employed
almost wholly in seeking for starflsh
specimens in deep seas, and there are
hundreds Of men who spend portion
Of their time In collecting starfish In
the interests Of science. Many Of the
specimens collected by ships are taken
from depths Of one and even two miles,

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE
TWO ENTIRE sLocks OF FAC
TORY BUILDINGS BURN At
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA.

Cedar Rapids. Ia, March s.-The
plant Of the American Cereal company,
the largest of its kind In the world,
comprising two entire blocks of brick
and iron structures, was destroyed by
IRE during the night with the excep-
son Of small group of storage and
packing rooms. The loss Is estimated
at $1,5o0.0oo. with insurance at nearly
$1.00o,oOo. Two persons are known to
have lost their lives in the fire.
The fire started IN the hull grinding
room of one Of the elevators. and a
sheet Of flame enveloped that struc-
tire. In ten minutes more the flames
had crossed the avenue to the mill
group of buildings and the firemen
were powerless to prevent the spread
of the flames in either direction. The
IRE burned northward against the
wind slowly in. the mill group and
southwark with the wind in the eleva-
tor group with fearful rapidity. Five
story brick walls crumbled and fell
with a roar heard for many blocks.
Clouds of embers were driven by
strong wind over an area six blocks
square and a large number of men with
small hose and buckets were drench-
ing the roofs of these buildings while
in the vicinity of the fire there was an
exodus of families from many houses.
kilograms for help were sent to the
river cities and smaller towns. The
cereal mill employs in the neighbor-
hood of 800 men and the loss will be a
serious blow to the city.

VALoR AND HERoIsM.

Proof That the Real Brand of 1t Ex-
lists In South America.
"Every country has its heroes, and it
Il refreshing to read something Of the
heroic in the history of the countries
south Of U.S." said thoughtful man.
I'm history Of South America atten-
ton is called to a number of things
which tend to show that the popular
estimate Of valor and heroism in that
section Of the world may not be alto
gether the correct one. 1t is related
that once the Peruvian monitor Huas-.
car fought against three Chilean ships.
"After both Admiral Grau and his,
flag lieutenant were killed Captain
Aguirre took command, was killed. and
then succeeded by Captain Carbajal,
who was put hors de combat by shell.
The command devolved then on Lieu
tenant Rodrigue, who was killed; then
on Lieutenant Palacious, who was dis
abled, and finally Lieutenant Gareyon,
with the ship on fire, three feet of wa
ter in the hold and with loss of half
his officers and crew, was forced to
strike his flag. On July %, 1879, the
Huascar was ip action; against the
Chilean ship Abtao TEpedoes at that
time were not much understood, and
one, being fired from the Huascar,
through faulty mechanism returned
back straight upon the ship. Seeing
this and knowing that If the ship was
struck she must sink, Lieutenant Diaz
Cansco jumped overheard and in the
water with his hands altered its course
just before it came in contact with the
ehip."

ramagno Walked, but His Carriase
Bill Had to be Paid.

Bill Had to be Paid.
Several years ago a tenor named
Tamagno was engaged to come to
America and sing at the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York. He was paid
$1,000 night. This is a sum which
would make many people willing to
put up with small extra expenses. But
not so Tamagno. Before leaving Eu-
rope he made stipulation that he he
furnished with carriage to and from
the opera house every night. This was
inserted in the contract.
When he arrived he found a carriage
waiting Mt the pier. He rode uptown
always Mt the expense of the opera
company-and took look around.
Then he decided to put up at the Marl-
borough hotel. which happens to be
only three short blocks from the Metro
polltan Opera House. Every time he
sang he walked up to the opera house,
refusing to take carriage. He said
he had just as soon walk. When 1t
came time for him to return to Europe
he presented a bill for over 5000 "for
carriages to and from the opera"
"But you didn't take a carriage" said
the manager of the opera company.
Tamagno bowed low and invited the
manager to look ut the contract. He
repeated the same suggestion whenever
anything was said about it. The re-
suit, Of course. was that the $500 had
to be paid. He stood out for it with
as much insistence as If he hadn't
seen n dollar for n month, and all the
time he was getting $1,000 a night.

THE NAME AMERICA.

When It Was First Proposed For the
Newly Found Continent.
The name Of America for the newly
discovered continent was first proposed
in the little volume put forth at st. Die,
in the vosges, in tie year 1907 by
Waldzeemuller, better known by the
Hellenized form Of his name, Hyla-
comylus. Three or four editions of this
treatise were published at st. Die be-
fore 1907, and few years afterward
an edition without date was printed at
Lyons by Jean de Ia Place. All these
editions are of extreme rarity, and
probably that printed at Lyons is the
rarest Of all, though the library of the
British museum possesses two copies
Of 1t. It has never been suggested that
any maps were engraved to accompa-
ny either Of the editions, but it has al
ways been supposed that the earliest
map with the word America" marked
on the new found world was the "Ty-
pus Orbis," engraved on wood for the
"Enarrationes Joannis Camertis in G.
Julii Solini Polyistora," printed at VI
emma in 1920 for Joannes Singrenius.
