North Norfolk. England. is the habi-
tat OF a curious species Of. owl that
carries lantern about at night. &C.
cording to correspondents Of the Lon
don Times who have been observing
the bird. Mr.. T. Digby Pigott, for IN
stance. writes that pair of birds car
rying yellowish light so bright that
when first seen 1t was mistaken for q
bicycle lamp by two different men ar
different places. have been flying
about the fields. A bailin, who had
been watching one of the birds, as
sured Mr.. Pigott that after moving
about a wheat stack for some time on
. dark night, the bird flew across the
field and alighted on tree, and the
light 1t gave out was SO strong that
the bailiff could distinctly see the
outlines of the branches about the
bird. Strange as the story is. 1t seems
to be believed by persons who are not
easily deceived. In these days no mar
vel OF science or of natural history can
safely be declared to be incredible.

Nothing succeeds like success, and
the efforts OF our government to IN
troduce reindeer in Alaska and domes-

an unqualified success. 1t is estimated
that the number of these animals now

This assures not only a most useful

able food supply. The plan was that

would be valuable aids to the natives.
who often suffered from want OF food
and lack OF adequate means Of getting
about. The reindeer Is a hardy beast,
cafabie OF great exertion and Of rapid
locomotion while drawing or carrying
weight, while 1t will find
sustenance where many other crea-
lures would starve, living on the
lichens of the rucks when 1t can get
nothing else, and even digging in the
snow and ice to get at such fare. 1t is
said that everything about the rein
deer. alive or dead. can be turned to
useful account. and the big herds
which some OF the Eskimo now own
make them actual plutocrats among

A mark in the square oppo-

effective, the voter is required
to mark the square at the left
Of the name of every presiden-
itial elector.
A cross must be placed in the
square opposite the name of all
of the presidential electors,
but general discussion heard at
headquarters and elsewhere
shows there is considerable mis-
understanding about this fea-
ture, some voters having the
impression that all that is
essential is the marking of the
square oppisite the name of the
presidential candidate. The
circle was on the ballot so long
THAT the voters became accus-
toned to marking the head of
the ticket, and they are confus-
ed as to what the situation ex-
actly is.
This is the first presidential
ELECTION in Iowa in which there
has been no circle opposite the
party name, and, consequently,
the first time it has been nee
essary for the voter to mark all
the squares opposite the names
of the electors, even though
the voter desires to cast a
straight vote for the ticket.

express his desires, it is equally
necessary for him to place the

The organization of the In

In December, 1906, there
were on exhibition at this great
show 1923 of the finest meat
land draft animals in the world,
continued by % states, one ter
ritory and four foreign coun-
tries.
These animals were entered
in competition for more than
.|2,400 premiums, aggregating
over $4,000 offered in upward
of 600 classes of cattle, horses,
sheep and swine, besides pack
ling house and other interesting
exhibits, all of which were
viewed by fully 100000 visitors
from nearly every state in the
Union and foreign countries.
Official correspondence with
prominent breeders and feed
ers throughout the country
demonstrates that the next
show will undoubtedly be the
most magnificent and success
flu! one of the series, with a
larger foreign representation
than ever before. Competition
bids fair to most spirited in all
breeds, and new features and
attractions will be added to the
many heretofore included.
