Three men were killed and twenty 9th

was terrific and broke many windows in

found where he had fallen inside the neu-

were found Wallace and Woodisil torn

subdued An examination of the other
buildings on the premises showed that not
one of the twenty-five had escaped some
damage. The scene of the accident is

Hamill of Prescott. had taken one man

the killing took place. ISaacs and Hamill

Immediately the Italians who stood near
showed fight and one of them raised his
shovel and knocked IsaacS to the ground
Hamill interfered and, drawing his re-
yolver, stood over Isaacs' body and de-
manded that all the Italians lay down
their picks and shovels. He was struck
down from behind. The Italians then
jumped upon and hammered the two Off

How to Get Rid of MOies.

An Indiana writer says that it Is
easy to get rid of moles. He states:
The moles do their work in daytime,
from 8 in the morning till II noon. L
want no trap or poison. / go out In
the morning and tramp the dirt down
in the runs, and when the time comes
for them to go to work | go and look
for them and keep very still. When
I see one raise the dirt, | jump on
him with my heel and stamp the ground
so hard that he can't move. Then
call MY deg and have him dig him out.
En- short time / have the dog hunting
moles in the same way. Also teach the
children to hunt them; offer penny
for each scalp, and in a short time
there will not be a mole on your place.
+ live where plenty of moles are, but
they don't bother me.

Hee NonseuSe.


After sIlllnbering more or less quiet
ly for a few years, the romantic tale
that the, bees drop into each cell of
honey a small drop of poison from
the sting before sealing up the cell,
using the sting as trowel to work
the wax, seems, to have started anew
its rounds of the public press. To any
who have sent in clippings of the kind,
possibly wondering what foundation
there may be- for the yarn, it may be
said on the authority Of a bee expert
that it is all work of imagination, its
originator apparently seeming to think
it true but never offering q particle of
proof. OF course; nome of the papers
that gave it currency will bother them
selves with contradiction, and the
only thing that can be done rs patiently
to allow it to run it's course and die
out, only to be resurrected seven years
later by some. penny -a-liner who has
nothing else sensational on hand.

Soy Beans In Feeding Ration.

Prof. J. H. Skinner of the Purdue
University Experiment Station, says
that with good clover pasture swine
growing was much more economical
than by feeding alone Experiments
in feeding at the Indiana station show
the cost per 100 pounds of grain with
corn meal only was $5.01; with one
half corn meal and one-half middlings,
S3.44; with two-thirds corn meal and
one-third soy beans, $3.50; and five
sixths corn meal and third tank
age, S3.T1. The use of soy beans was
commended to improve the ration, bet
ter returns in grain thus being secured,
while the beans as up in growing
add to the fertility of the soil.

READING HABIT IN AUSTRALIA
Literature OF All Kinds Is Greatly

In Demand There.
| Australasia is in a peculiar position
| so far as her literature Is concerned
| says the Review of Reviews Owing te
| the fact that English is the language
| spoken, the reading public can obtain
| its supplies from three quite independ-
ent and distinct sources--frem Great
| Britain, from the United States, and
from local sources. The result Is that
Australians are the greatest readers on
the face of the globe, and New Zealand
ers are even more so. Periodicals and
other publications are untaxed, and the
copyright laws sre little understood and
less enforced, so that on typical Aus.
| tralian boOkstall the most cosmopolitan
conglomeration OF literature magma
Bile can be seen.
Australia, being so far from the rest
of the English-speaking world, has to
rely upon local effort for her daily and
weekly publications. In this field Aus
tralians have shown that they can bring
out newspapers which can bear a most
favorable comparison with similar pub
locations either in Great Britain or
America. The same may be said of
the weeklies. 1t is In magazines and
books that the torrent of outside litera-
ture has been too great to allow of
much local production.
The inhabitants OF Australia number
only 100000. Had these been scat
tered over the huge continent. almost
as large as the United States, no daily
paper Of any size could have existed.
1t happens, however-unfortunat
perhaps, for Australia-that more than
one-quarter of the people live in two
large cities, and a large portion of the
remainder in four or FIVE large towns.
The daily paper, therefore, has almost
as large constituency as any publish
ed for the teeming millions of America
and Great Britain.

Tomatoes EARLY and Good.

An Indiana farmer says that gen

one-half water. Here is the way, he
says, he gets early tomatoes of good
quality: He takes medium early of
good variety, plants ir a pot or old
can that is first lined with a piece of
filed with good soil. He plants three
or four seeds, sets upon shelf with
house plants, let's grow until latter part
Of May, then lifts out the plant, soil
and ALL by the cloth, and plants in the
garden, thinning to one stalk to a can.
He has set out when in bloom and had
