BIG BEND FARMERS
FEED WHEAT TO HOGS
Estimate that They Make 80 Cents a
Bushel by Turning Their Cereals Into
Pork
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal <
Spokane, Wash, Sept. 29.-Farmers
of the Big Bend country in this state
are feeding wheat to hogs. The. grain
is worth but so cents a bushel in the
bin, and hogs are worth IA cents d
pound on foot in the lot. By careful
computation. farmers estimate that
wheat that is fed to hogs yield returns
on the basis of about so cents a bushel
Of wheat.
Altho the practice never prevailed to
any great extent heretofore, the feed
ing of wheat to swine has become gen
eral this season. The combination
whereby wheat is unprecedently low
land hogs are almost unprecedentedly
high. constitutes "a condition that IN
cvitably has this effect.
It has been demonstrated that hogs
can be prepared for market in six
weeks on a wheat diet.

CLEVER IN MACHINERY.
Ability Of Italians in Copying For.
eign-Made Devices Is Re-
markable,

Italian cleverness in machinery a
one of the continental trade conditions
which, it is pointed out, American en-
terprjse sometimes fo-gets when rating
European manufacturers who have
been in the field longer than them
selves and have some opportunities SUI
perior to those of the Yankee. The
Italian ability to copy machinery made
In other countries is remarkable. The
Italians are keenly alive to the fact
that they might supply their own home
markets from their own workshops,
but that they may enter the export
trade as one Of the strongest compete
tors Of America. The greatest thing
for Italian trade this year has been
the success Of the pair of Italian
machinists In q series of motor car
races. In Milan and the country
round about there are about dozen
factories capable of competing in the
manufacture of automobiles, paper
bags, wrappings, tools, engravings and
engraving machines, electrical and
other machines and their parts, and
of many other articles. It is these
and all of Americas other strongest
European competitors that will exhibit
in Milan's exposition next year. The
American consul there advises Uncle
Sam to send his best goods thither.

business and prestige.

NEW UNION OF BACHELORS

Half dozen Kansas City bachelors
who see a great deal of one another
have organized q unique club, reports
the Times. It is called "The Brother
hood of the Jangling Can" Its mem
bers are all men who have been
turned down" or canned" by their
girls. To become member in good
standing a bachelor must convince the
organizations executive COMMITTEES
that he has been thoroughly Canned .''
Having done SO he goes into the
hands OF the sympathetic committee,
which puts him through a complete
course OF sympathy-the last he gets.
He then signs the following pledge:

for the rest Of my life I shall never
show any preference for woman unless
she comes half way, and never shall

WASP, IN THE TELEPHONE.
Joker Blew Smoke Into Receiver and
Got His Nose Into
Trouble.

Smokers have heard much, in these
days of microbes, of the disinfecting
power Of the fumes of tobacco; 50
much, indeed, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, that the practice of blowing q
whih of cigar smoke into the speak
ing bell of a telephone to discourage
germs that may be there lurking has
become pretty general habit. One
frequent user Of the phone, however,
is only now recovering from the les.
son which taught him, q few weeks
ago, never to blow before he looks,
and it is probable that he will not
again be SO windy, whether he looks
or not On the occasion in question
the smoker blew a Whit of a fra.
grant Havana into the phone, when
there emerged from the dark interior
q wasp, which lit on the nose of the
blower and lost no time in making q
lasting impression. In the suddennesa
of his retreat the. smoker knocked
over a $50 vase, which was smashed.
and damaged a typewriting machine
by letting the telephone receiver fall
on it. The nose is slowly assuming it,

IN THE INTEREST oF CATS
Law and Society Are Beginning to
Leok After Welfare Of
Felines.

It Is appropriate that the cat should
obtain recognition, being individual
rather than collective. The dog is
licensed, and, realizing the obligation.
he fights for his master. But the cat
is not licensed, and realizing her in
dependence, she fights for herself. And
she does very well, whether on offense
Or defense. The sort of fence makes
very little difference, says the Boston
Traveller.
But the days of her independence are
threatened. She does not know it and
pursues her life with undiminished
enthusiasm and unmuffled voice. But
there is plot thickening. The cat is
beginning to figure in law and society.
So far, though the cat has been in close
association with mankind for many
thousand years. she has maintained her
Individuality. No one can claim close
intimacy with the cat. At least no one
can make others believe the claim.
But now intimacy is to be forced upon
her. No sooner is the black cat incor.
porated under the laws of New Jersey,
as recently noted. than great national
cat club is formed No. it is not club
for cats. The cat congresses remain un-
affiliated and will meet independently
as usual. This is club of women, who
have organized themselves into the
Lockhaven Cat club for the purpose
of cultivating an interest in the owner
ship of thoroughbred cats, to find homes
and care for vagrant cats and to give
private and public exhibition of CATS
The club must be looking for trouble.

AUTOMOBILES IN GREECE.
The City of Athens Has a Dozen
That Were Bought In
France.

There are IL automobiles in this
consular district, or, to speak more
definitely, in the city Of Athens, writes
Consul Horton. of Athens. Three OF
these belong to the king and the
princes His majesty's automobile is
quite luxurious affair, and is said to
have cost some 10000 francs ($3, ,8G0),
That owned by Prince Andreas was
presented to him by the czar OF Rus
sia. Most of the automobiles in use
here were bought in France at cost
of from 1000 to 10000 francs ($772 to
$1,930). Three new ones are now on
their way to this country. Automo-
biles are classed by the tariff law as
four-wheeled carriages, which, uphol-
stored or not, used or unused, pay a
duty of 900 francs ($57.90) each, beside
OctrOi, etc. In the case of high
priced carriage, with sumptuous fur
nishings, duty is assessed on value de-
clared in invoice and bill of lading,
and importers are advised to obtain an
invoice from the Greek consul in the
country from which the shipment is
made. In this latter case the duties
are 20 per cent. OF assessed value, $25
octroi and 5 per cent. on the 20 per
cent. Parts or accessories to autos
pay according to their assessed value.
Automobiles are classed as carriages
for the reason that machinery is ad-
mitted into Greece free of duty.

PURE WATER FROM OZONE
Air Pumps Render schuylkill Water
Fit for Philadelphians
to Drink.

Water, water, everywhere, and not
drop to drink, was Philadelphia e
portion until purifying water with
ozone was tried. Raw Schulykill wa
ter contains as high as 100000 bac.
terra per cubic centimeter. After
rough straining this number is re-
duced to 250,00O, and after the ozone
treatment to to 55. These few
are all harmless varieties, and the
water also is deodorized and freed
from color. The process is substan-
TALLY as follows: An electric current
is taken from the city's wires to op-
crate a motor generator producing a
current of 100 alterations, which is
raised by transformers and condensers
to a 10000 voltage. The current
passes as a pencil of blue light from
each of some millions of metallic dis
charge points across a short air gap
to nickel receivers. Atmospheric air
is drawn across this gap by means of
an air pump, and in so passing it ID
partially converted into ozone. The
ozonized air is then forced through a
standpipe, in which it meets current
of water flowing in the opposite di-
rection. The containing bacteria are
destroyed by the ozone.

Through scientific investigation It
has been ascertained that the bacteria
Of diphtheria adhering to eating and

the infection cannot be accomplished
by washing the glasses and rubbing
