/" VineIess" Potato Held Fraud.

A special to the Record Herald says
that a fraud order has been issued
against the Vineless Potato Company,
OF Pullman, LII. The company adver-
tised to sell territory or individual
rights for vineless potato, which
would grow in bins above ground in
sixty days. After Investigations by
the departments Of Agriculture, JUS
tice and PostOffice, the fraud order
was issued and w. d. Darst, discov-
erer of the wonderful process, will be
excluded from the use of the mails.
He proposed in reply to inquiries pro-,
voked by his advertisement to license
for $25 any individual to grow vine
less potatoes, and said that for 500
he would sell unlimited territory. He
also offered "potatine" at $3.50 q pack
age. Because his ''potatine" was
merely sulphate of potash, worth %
cents, and his vineless potatoes worth
less commercially, the order was
issued.

acre of corn, when only the grain of
the latter is taken into consideration.
But corn stalks if harvested before
they dry out contain large quantities
of sugar and starch, enough to pro-
duce 100 gallons of commercial alco-
hol per acre, according to the estimate
of Secretary Wilson. In 100000
acres of Indian corn the making of ten

of geese is one of the sights Of lifetime.
The vast host of birds stands packed to-

old leader ascends hundred thousand
voices salute HIM, but none stirs till
from overhead ne gives the call for his
subjects to follow him.
Some fifty birds rise in the air and
follow him, and as they go gradually
assume the yedgelike formation, with
three single birds in a string at the
apex of the triangle, and in few min

been fairly started the king returns, and
after a few minutes rest he rises into

gone through before he leads off another

Again and again he returns until all

LOST NEARLY FIFTY YEARS.
Ancient Masonic Charm Found at Or
Chard Lake, Mich.

Last fall a Masonic charm was found
buried on the east shore of Orchard lake,
Michigan. 1t bore the date 1890 and
Masonic emblems on both sides. 1t was
a rude affair, being a small piece of
stone with amateur carving.
The charm finally came into the pos
session of DR.. E. Orion of Pontiac, who
learned that the charm is the property of
A. H. Washburn, to whose father it was
presented by Col. Hezekiah Butter
worth.
Col. Butterworth was wounded at the
battle of Lewiston, and on his death bed
gave the charm to the elder Washburn.
1t was carved by an American soldier
on the date given, 1890.
DR.. Orion will ask Washington for
Col. Butterworth's record and if possible
establish the identity of the charm. The
charm has been lost for forty-eight
years, Washburn losing it shortly after
it was given him by his father.

COATS DID THE MOVING.
In Two Summers Cleared a Hillside of
Brush and Briars.

A flock Of Angora goats were put on a
rocky hillside that it was desired to have
cleared and gotten into grass, says a
writer in Country Life in America. 1t
! was such a tangle of brush and briers
that it was difficult to make a way
through it.
The goats actually ate their way in
until it was penetrated with paths in all
directions. After the leaves within
reach were eaten they would stand on
their hind feet with their forefeet in the
branches and so eat the leaves higher
up, or, if the brush was not too large,
would throw their weight against and
bend it to the ground, where others
would help strip it of its foliage.
The leaves would come out again only
to be eaten off, then sprouts would come
from the roots to share the same fate,
until at the end of the second summer
everything in the shape of a bush not
over six feet tall, except the pines and
laurel, was completely killed, and white
clover was beginning to appear.

Wish for a Wedding Day.

Here is wedding day wish taken
from a play written by an Englishman
nearly a century ago:
May your days, like long, stormless sum
mer, glide away,
And peace and trust be with you. May you
be the after-patterns of felicity,
That others when they wed may only wish
to be as blest as you We're.
May loneliness dwell round about you like
an atmosphere of our soft southern air,
Where every flower in Hymens yellow
wreath may bloom and blow;
And when at last you close your gentle
hyes-blameless as they were blessed
May you fall into the grave as softly as the
leaves of two sweet roses on an au-
tumn eve,
Beneath the small signs of the western
wind drop to the earth together
