Davies Asks for an Osinion.

Madison.-Joseph E. Davies, chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee, has asked Secretary OF
State Frear to require of the attorney
general an opinion as to the constl-
tutionality of the 20 per cent clause
of the primary election law.
This step, Mr.. Davies says, is only
move to properly bring the question
to test. 1t is believed that the Su-
nreme court will be asked to claim
original Jurisdiction in the case and
give a decision.
Secretary of State Frear said that
ha would give the Democratic party
all time possible to make the test.
The secretary of state has sent out
blanks to all candidates for state
offices to give them opportunity to
file statements of campaign expenses
according to law.

Someone Might Get Hurt.

Pietro had drifted to Florida and
was working with a gang at railroad
construction. He had been told to
beware of rattlesnakes, but assured
that they would always give the
warning rattle before striking.
One hot day he was eating his noon
luncheon on a pine log when he saw
a big rattler coiled few feet in front
of him. He eyed the serpent and be-
gan to shift his legs over the log. He
had barely got them out Of the way
when the snakes fangs hit the bark
beneath him.

lutionary ancestors.
In 1852 he went to California,

recollections of his life in the west,

Big Bear Robs Pig StY.

Marinette. Bears are more numer-
Gus in the northern woods this fall
than for many years.
A climax to their depredations was
reached when a huge bear visited the
pig sly of the Sawyer Goodman COM

made away with a 200 pound porker.
Lumbermen gave chase and the
bear dropped the hog about a quarter
of mile from the camp.

bears ever seen in this part of the
state.

Missouri's Red Book and Popcorn.

| The Missouri Red Book of the cur
rent year in advising the planting of
popcorn on small tracts of land offers
a suggestion to the town and subur-
ban farmer as helpful as ever came
| from Farmer Coburn of the neighbor-
ing State of Kansas
Missouri's annual crop of this small
corn is about 5.550.000 pounds, with
prospects of an increased production
in the future. Here is a bulk of flaky
white cheer for a winter evening
around the gas log or the steam radia-
tor that is not to be despised. Be-
sides, the crop is helpful one TO the
bank account, for it is worth a dol
lar bushel any day. and the sup
| ply is not equal to the demand. The
agriculturist who made clear of all
expenses more than $4,000 on a forty
acre tract And it is as easy to cult
vate and as sure crop as any other
kind of corn. Why then is not more
grown in the great corn districts?
Almost any farmer will tell you the
reason. A field of popcorn will play
havoc with the red, yellow or white
cared regulars of the neighborhood.
Popcorn is too good mixer" it will
climb over the highest fence into the
next field, and the meeting between
it and any Of the old standards will
develop ''cross" that is about the
worst corn that can be grown. So

MANY RARE SHAkESPEARES
The Value of One Set Drops From
S19,25O to $14,78O.

! The first four folios of Shakespeare
from the library of the late Doctor
Colt, Bishop of Truro, which sold at
Sotheby's in London, the other day
for $14,7S0, are the same copies which
realized $19,250 at the original sale
in the same auction rooms of Bishop
Colts literary treasures in March,
1907. At that time the four folios
were bought in by the Colt family,
presumably because the bidding did
not go as high as was expected. The
| four folios at this recent sale were
disposed of by the bishops son, w.
W. Colt.
1t is said that this falling off in
the public market value of these
Shakespearean rarities is due to the
fact that so many copies of the first
folio have appeared in the present
book auction season. 1t was only a
few days ago that first folio sold at
Sotheby's for $4,000, the same copy
few years previously realizing in the
same rooms $4,000.
The record price for first folio,
London, 1923, is $4,000, obtained at
Sotheby's three years ago for the Van
Antwerp copy Although the edition
lis believed to have consisted of five
hundred copies, of which two hundred
survive, less than twenty copies are
perfect. Bishop Colts copy, slightly
imperfect, brought $4,000, one-half as
much as the Van Antwerp copy. The
Colt second folio, London, 1852, whicj
also had a few imperfections, fetche!
$1,000.
The bishops copy of the third folio
was the interesting and very rare va
ration bearing the 1868 imprint, and
as originally issued, without the por-
trait and the seven spurious plays,
although these latter had been insert
ed. Many collectors consider this as
equal in rarity to the first folio. 1t
brought S4,950. The fourth folio, print
ed in 1885, realized s3S0.-New York

Tattooing Fad of London Women

LONDON-Among the society fads
OF recent years tattooing on an elab-
crate scale is one which has had it's
frequent spells of prosperity for the
artist, while at other periods he, or
she, will be almost starving for lack
OF employment.
There is, however, a pretty steady
demand among society women, espec-
cially among those who go in for
swimming, for the services of the
skillful tattooer. Beautiful little birds
and butterflies are the favorite de-
vices, but frequently a woman will be
tattooed with copy of her husbands
regimental crest, and one woman. at
least, is carrying about on her fair
skin her husbands coat of arms.
There are generally tattooed either on
the soulder or on the underside of the
1orearms, so that they are concealed
by shoulder strap or a glove, as the
case may be.-New York Herald.

THEY FOLLOW OUR LEAD NOW
We No Longer Turn Up Our Trousers
1t May Be Raining in London.

"A few years ago, when fastidiously
dressed men were called dudes there
was a saying that New York dude
rolled up his trousers when it was
raining in London" R. P. Miller of
New York was discussing some phases
of the clothing business at the Raj
eigh.
This epigram, if it could be so
called" he continued, conveyed the
idea that Americans who wanted to
be in fashion copied the style of their
clothes from the English. 1t was true
then; there is no doubt of that. Fiji
teen or twenty years ago London did
set the styles, and American tailors
copied them to the line.
On my last business trip to En-
gland was impressed by the number
of young men who We're wearing
clothes fashioned after the style of

noticed were readymade. 1t was evil
dent, however, that they had been
built along the lines favored by men
on this side. l venture to say that
within comparatively few years, the
American fashions in mems clothes
will receive the general approval of
! the English.
Some English tailors insist on max,

OWNING Rod 200 years Old.

Winslow W. Fifield of Medford owns
a metallic divining rod. brought from
England more than two hundred years
ago by one of his ancestors. The rod
says Mr.. Fifield, has been used sue
cessfully all over New England and
in the Western mining districts. 1t
is attached to whalebone handles
twelve inches long and weighs TWO
ounces. The handles have inscrip-
es6ns on them, which are almost OBJ
liberated by age.
The person who brought the rod to
America was Isaac Greenleaf, who set
tied in Massachusetts. The rod be-
came famous as finder of water. At
ter marking the place of many springs,
the rod was used in California, Col
orado and North Carolina for locating
by men in quest of gold mines and
other metals. One person who used
it with particular success was blind
man, in whose hands the rod is said
to have done marvels.-Boston Globe.
