a matter of how soon you begin

JOKER FOUND
IN THE LOCAL
OPTION Law!
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
OLYMPIA, Nov. IA joker
In Washington's new local option
law provides If a community votes
dry, no liquors may be sold, and
If 1t votes wet, no liquors may
be sold either. The joker was
apparently slipped over when the
saloon forces were not looking,
and 1t was not until today that
the discovery was made at the
office of the attorney general.
In recent local option elections
in this state most of the towns
have voted dry, but a few have
declared wet. While the law Is
plain and explicit that prohibition
ensues ii the community votes
dry, 1t provides that If the vets
win licenses may only be granite
under certain restrictions and pro-
vides further that no licenses may
be obtained unless with the ap-
Iproval of the city. or county au,
thorities.

The Ice of the Arctic.

Shipwrecked sailors have often
suffered and sometimes died of
thirst, because the salt water of the.
ocean cannot be drunk. Arctic ex-
plorers can utilize the ice for drink
ing purposes, the only trouble being
in melting it. Sea water in the.
process of freezing expels the SALT.
and its freezing point is about IS
degrees, or 4 degrees below that of
fresh water. Ice is the principal
product of the arctic regions, and
we are indebted to whalers and ex-
plorers for some distinctive phrases.
regarding it. The ice first forms
in thin, irregular fakes called
"sludge," and when this is compact
enough to hold snow it is known as
"brash." Gathered into rounded
masses it becomes pancake ice,'r
and soon it becomes thicker. The.
first thin covering is called 'May
ice" A "foe" is a sheet of ice the
limits of which are visible, and an.
''ice field" is so extensive that its
limits cannot be seen. EPack ice'-

gether by the winds or currents

LOWER RATES FOR MINISTER'S

All of the railroads operating east
from Pittsburg on January /, will
grant special clergy rates the same
as they did several years ago. When
the Legislature of the different states
passed laws fixing of the different
passenger rate,at two cents mile,
the railroads announced that all low
rates including those for ministers
and association would be abolished.
Circulars were issued last week by
the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and other roads that the usual
clergy rates of half-fare would be
given after the first of the year. 1t
is expected that similar action will
be taken in other sections.

EATING AN OYSTER
This starhsh Has Rather an ODD Way
Of Doias Il.

OF Doi1s u.
The oyster when at home Ewes IN
a hard lime shell which nicely pro-
tects him from The attack Of enc
mics. Man, with his tools, can open
the shell and remove the soft ani-
NAL, but besides man the oyster has
few foes. Oddly enough, his great
est foe is not, as might be expected,
an animal with powerful jaws and
strong teeth, but one wholly with
out jaws. It is the common star
fish, so common eyeryUaere at the
seashore.
Now, the starfsh is sett. Aen-
bic creature, very sluggish, seeming
" helpless and utterly unable to at
tack such an animal as the oyster
Its mouth. which is IN the center Of
the disk, has no teeth or jaws. How
can such helpless creature open,
the formidable oyster shelf and get
at the animal concealed within?
Its method of doing so is odd
enough. It first clasps the oyster
in its arms. wrapping its FIVE arms
around the shell tightly. Having
thus seized the oyster, it quietly
waits. Just exactly what happens
next even our scientists do not ex-
actly know. The two shells of the
oyster are held together by hinge
which is opened BY a spring: The
spring is SO adjusted that the shells
will be pushed open unless they are
held together by the muscles. Some
scientists tell US that after the star
fish has held the oyster for awhile
the oyster opens its shell in order to
get food and the starfsh that has
been waiting for this now injects
into the shell little reddish liquid.
This acts as a poison, paralyzing the
muscles and thus making it impossi-
bic for the animal to close its shell.
Others tell US that the process is
simpler and that the starfsh simply
holds the shell tightly together I'M
til the oyster is smothered. As soon
as it is stupefed by the sufocation
the muscles relax and the shell
opens.
Whichever of these two accounts
is true, it is certain that after a lit
tie the oyster shells fly open. Now
comes the oldest feature of all. The
stomach of the starfsh is very large
and elastic, and it is now thrown
out of the animals mouth much as
one would turn a bag inside out.
This stomach is then thrust within
the oyster shell and wrapped around
the soft animal, beginning at once
to digest it. The starfsh does not
take the trouble even to remove the
oyster from its shell, digesting it in
its own home and eventually crawl
ing away, leaving behind the gaping,
empty shell.-St. Nicholas.

Orchard and Garden

Keep hoes sharp with a file.
Make three succeSSional plant
ings of sweet corn this month,
at ten-day intervals.
Never pick berries for market
when they are wet. And, when
picked, hurry them to a cool
place out of the sun.
Cut off, at any time, any suck
ers you may find growing at the
foot of fruit trese or on the trunk
or main limbs where branches
should not grow.
Muzzle the horses and pad the
outside portions of whiffletrees
and harrow when cultivating the
orchards thus avoiding all brvlis-
ed and "barked" trees.
Pay an occasional friendly Wis.
it to the little trees set this
spring. Rub off all unnecessary
spruts; and make sure that no
label wires have been left on the
trees to choke them.
Watch for the little slugs =
darkish, Shiny fellows-that are
likely to be on pear or cherry
leaves now. Fine, dry dust, if
thrown in the trees, will kill ev-
|ery slug it covers. Or almost any
|of the regulation orchard sprays
will exterminate this pest.
