CONSIDERABLE BUSY

II dunno as we do have so much to

said Abimelech Clovertop to the COM

fallen into conversation at the country
store. "An' yit, although the winter
is our restin' spell, we manage to keep
considerable busy. You get up at from

RUBBERS AT CACTUS
SAYS THERE Is RUBBER
PhiIIy Scientist Finds New Way to
Produce Goods

PHILADELPHIA, April S0.-Dr. ].
M. Macfarlane, director of the botan-
ical garden of the University of Penn
sylvania, said a representative of a
New York cactus grower had visited
him recently and had obtained a spe-
cimen of cactus from which he de-
clared rubber could be made.
This species of cactus has never been
suspected of containing rubber, but
the New York grower has discovered
that rubber can be extracted from it
in paying quantities. The truth of the
claim, DR.. Macfarlane explained, has
been substantiated through extensive
experiments.
The cactus thrives in California, but
there are several large specimens of
the species in eastern greenhouses and
botanical gardens. The purpose of the
New York man is to gather these lar
ger cactuses and take them to the
western state for cultivation. At the
some time South America is being
secured for other specimens.

BOY TIES HIMSELF IN
KNOT He CAN'T UNITE
EmuIating Feats of Circus Con-
tortioniStS, Kid Becomes
Badly Tangled Up

NEW YORK, April 30.-Small Will
liam Gordon's shining morning face
was missing from the family pew at
the Dutch Reformed church OF Clin-
ton, N. j. 1t snone brightly enough to
have been there, but it shone with
linlment and so it Snone from small
Williams trundle bed at home. For
William yesterday went through the
travail of giving over an ambition and
the woes OF his spirit are not now to
be compared with the woes Of his
body.
William is 10 years old. Yesterday
he came to New Y ork with MS Ia
tner, Edwin W. Gordon, and all he
clearly remembers about the metropo-
lis is that there was d street there
with circus posters on both sides.
1t might be more exact to say Il cir
Gus poster, Tor William took home no
desire to be a nenemoth or anything
further down in the alphabet. He want
Ell 10 begin at the beginning ana he
an acrobat. he began in the hayloII
yesterday morning, bright and talr,
starting in at the upper left hand
corner OF that certain poster and
working downward, stunt by stunt.
Then William essayed a really truly
feat. This is what happened as nearly
as could be learned. he tucked the
spin. 1t was a cincn. He tried it
again and described three complete cir
cIeS. The family ought not to be kept
IN ignorance any longer, thought Wn-
liam, and he decided TO call them.
But MS feet Wouldnt come from be-
hind his head. William conjured up
another vision OF the poster, but 1t
showed nothing tnat seemed to tit tho
circumstances. His right loot yielded
to the extent of one brief Wrigsle, but
the promise that held out died a-born-
ing. Ten minutes of further effort did
not produce even d Wriggle.
So William rolled himself to the win
dow over the carriage shed to call for
help Then his breath went back on
him, just as his feet mad. One Wneeze
was mis- limit, and with the corners of
him aching in anticipation William
rolled to the head OF the stairs, tee
tered an instant on the verge and went
over. Mr.. Gordon had just come out
for the horse when William reached
the yard.
What the-help! help" cried Mr..
Gordon, and sprang forward. When
help arrived he had just got the handle
of d pitchfork inserted between Will
liam's ear and that right foot which
had wriggled once.
1t was a painful but not long opera
tion after that. An odor of arnlca per-
Vaded the house, and the sound of
covers being turned down came from
the room Wnere Williams trundle bed
is. The rest of the day was uneventtul,
except for Williams decision that
maybe it would be easier to be be-
hemoth than an acrobat.
