Skim-MiIk Fed Calves.-So many
people speak of the trouble of raising
calves on skim milk Now there is
trouble in raising a calf by any
method, If it's mother is used for dairy
purposes. To let calf to the cow and
take it away when it has enough is
more work than feeding by hand. Fur
Their, there is no absolute way of tell
ing when the calf has taken the proper
amount of milk. You just have to
guess at it. The calf that is fed by
hand can be raised on skim milk after
a few days, and the cream saved The
calf that takes its nourishment from
the cow consumes all the cream in the
milk, hence an expensive calf. The
handled calf will soon learn to eat
grass, hay, or grain and will make as
good growth, with care, as the calf fed
in the natural way. 1t lives on cheap
feed, is always contented, and through
constant handling becomes a gentle
and serviceable cow. Those who have
tried the two methods find that the
skim-milk method is safe, easy. and
profitable in every way

DOG SAVES MASTER FROM BULL.
Faithful Animal, Rushing to the Res

Escondido, Cal. - Tossed high in
the air by a maddened bull, but

pied by its hoofs, r. b. Bor.
den, a rancher, would have been
crushed to death but for the bravery
and devotion of his dog. The attack
was SO sudden and vicious that Dor.
den had no chance to save himself and
almost before he knew ii was
caught on the bulls horns and flung
high in the air. Borden struck the
ground with thud and was partly
stunned. Instantly the bull was on
him again, stamping him with its
hoofs and butting the man with it's
head.
Wholly at the mercy Of the beast,
Borden yelled for help. The dog heard
its master and came running to his as.
sistance. There was a moment Of
struggle, in which the bull tried in
vain to reach his new enemy, who
snapped and tore madly. Then the bull
gave up and retired, leaving Borden
hardly able to crawl to his house
The bull was later shot as being too
dangerous to live, but the dog will
get the best of everything from now

Falls in Deeo Mine Shaft.

Linton, Ind.-The most miraculous
escape from death In local mining his

Miller. foreman of the White Rabbit
mine, fell head foremost down the
main shaft. The shaft is 900 feet

catching him about 60 feet below the
surface. He was considerably bruised

Crime and the Telephone.
EAS% JORDAN,

From the beginning to the end OF
transaction in crime the telephone
comes into use serving both sides with
equal fidelity, says a writer In Apple
tons. The thief uses it to determine
which house he may safely rob. The
man next door sees the burglar, and
calls up the police. The police arrive,
catch the burglar and telephone for the
Black Maria to take him to jail. The
thief telephones a lawyer to defend
him. The lawyer telephones for the
bondsman TO bail out his client, and
the banker telephones the sheriff that
the bondsman's check is good. When
the day OF trial comes, the clerk OF the
court, being a kind gentleman, tele-
phones to the burglars lawyer; the
sheriff telephones Witnesses TO be pres
ent. When the burglar is convicted
and sentenced the sheriff uses long dis
lance to tell the warden of the peni'

BY WILBUR WRIGHT
of Airship Fame

10 airship will ever fly from New York to Paris.
That seems to me to be impossible. What limits the
flight is the motor. No known motor can run at the
requisite speed for four days without stopping, and
you can't be sure of finding the proper winds for
soaring. The arship will always be special messen-
GER never loadcarrer. But the history of civiliza
ton has usually shown that every invention has
brought in its train new needs it can satisfy, and
what the airship will eventually be used for is
probably what can least predict at the present.
There is misconception about the safety of fly
ing machines if the motor stops We can glide to

HOUSE WRECKED
 BY DYNAMITE
MRS. STAGG AND SON SLIGHTLY BRUISED BY EXPLOSION AT LEEDS-MOTIvE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN ROBBERY.

The home of Justice of the Peace David Stagg at Bessie mines is a con- plete wreck as the result of the dyna- . miting of his home Friday night. Mrs. Stagg and son. Lonnie Stagg, are suf fering from bruises, while MT. Stagg also received a few bruises.
 So far the identity of the parties guilty of the deed is a mystery, but 1t Is believed that robbery was the mo- tive. MT. Stagg stated that he had $500 in the house which he was unable to find after the explosion. Another the ory for the dynamiting is that he had made enemies by the issuing of war rants for certain persons.
 Dogs were sent to the scene from Banner, Deputy Sheriff Dave Kenny brook being in charge of them. The explosion, however, had awakened everyone in the community and 1t was impossible for the dogs to take the trail. Chief Deputy Lucien Brown has detailed men on the case and strong efforts are being made to apprehend the guilty ones.

The Rev. George Eaves, pastor of the Congregational church. will hold Sunday night services in the Air~Dome, beginning June 20. He is recognized as a minister of exceptional culture. He is an earnest worker in the religious field and is plat form speaker of engaging manner and distinct force. In the following letter he sets forth his plan and his purpose:

 The heat of summer last year depleted my evening congregation I found my neighbors spending Sunday night not in worship but on their porches or riding on the cars. This year have been able to make arrangements with the proprie tors of the Air-Dome theatre, who have met me most generously, for open-air services.
 I propose preaching the deep, old, true gospel, not In a sectarian way. If there are inquirers who belong properly to some other denomination no attempt at prose- lytism will be made. On the other hand, I most earnestly invite the sympathetic cooperation of any friends in making the meetings useful, spiritually satisfying.
 Popular hymns will be sung. Those who are able to swell the chorus" are in-

SUGGESTION FOR
 NEW COURTHOUSE
Court Attache Believes Dining Room and Apartments Should Be Pre-
 pared For Jurors.

G. F. Riddle, who has been connected for more than year in an official ca- pacity with the city court, said yester- day:
 q have noticed from the various news papers that a number of citizens and voters have been giving their ideas and views upon the new courthouse proposi- ton. A great many suggestions have been made in regard to location, style of building and the like; but I would sug- gest that the Board of Revenue in provid- l Ing more ample courtrooms and office space in the new building also take into 1 consideration the proposition of devoting one floor of the projected slxyscraper the basement, for instance, for cafe and lodging quarters for the jurors serving in the various courts each week. This could be made to be self-sustain- ing, and even some revenue could be de- rived from the enterprise. There are from 1S2 to 156 jurors who serve the courts in Jefferson county each week. Thus, tax ing into consideration the courthouse enl- ployes, attorneys, litigants and witnesses who would dine at such a cafe each day, the number of patrons would range from 250 to 300, the jurors taking meals three times day. From this an income of $lO0 to $150 per diem could be realized at a cost much less than this amount thus giving the county an appreciable revenue for each day.
 At least half the jurors are persons who live so far from the courthouse that they cannot conveniently return home at night. Many who might possibly not have sufficient cash at hand to pay for a nights lodging could be enabled in this event to use the cafe and lodging apart ments to advantage. paying for their ac- eonlmodations when they drew their sal aries at the end of the week.
 "'rhe county could provide on the same floor large jury rooms. equipped with Bibles. books and other conveniences for jurles having cases under consideration.
 "The cost to the county in providing hotels and boarding houses for the jurors Is something like s250 or 1850 per month, which service could be Furnished in it's own cafe and lodging house at two-thirds of the present cost. Such a saving would certainly be to the advantage of the citizens and voters of Jefferson county
 The expense of conducting the apart ments would be but nominal. For in- stance, a superintendent could be engaged at salary of about s60 a month and board, a chief cook for, say, $35 a month and board; three good walters for about s15 and a chambermaid to attend to the cleaning of the rooms at a salary of $l5 per month and board.
 '"The monthly income would amount to about $500 or 5000. while the total ex- pense could not exceed S12OO. The county would tbus be given a monthly revenue of from $500 to sS0O while the comfort and convenience of the jurors and court house er1ployes would be greatly en- hanced."
