Did the Bertha Stunt.

Henry Stern who gives his home as
Canton, Mo-, was arraigned i'll court
this morning for yagrancy.
Stern was up at Ninth and Grand
Ave. last night and stepped UP to
door and rang the bell. When the
lady of the house answered, Stern
suddenly doubled up like jack-knife
and feigned serious illness. The wo-
man ran to her telephone to call the
police ambulance at the request of
Stern but when she returned again
to the front exit, the man had sudden
ly disappeared as if the earth had
swallowed him up.
Stern tried the same trick at anotn-
er place and shortly after the police
arriving in the neighborhood saw him
beating it, down Ninth street with
what appeared undue haste for a
sick man
Stern was overtaken and locked up
4 for the night He entered plea OF
not guilty to the charge of vagrancy
this morning and his fainting Bertha
didoes will be further investigated.
Bond was set at 500 in his case.

breeders of any variety and custom
ers who are buying eggs get good

from breeders who are producing fine

ting the eggs and Matching the chicks
be sure to mark thelA all according
to the breeding pen in which the
eggs were laid: then when the chicks
mature you will know their breeding.
When you pick out those which you
are going to keep for your founda.
ton stock. If you have only one
male and one -emale that suit you,
you had better use only those
for the first years breeding. 1t is
not quantity that the beginner wants

your best pullet and mate back to

The ration for laying hens should

ALake,s salt Roof.

The great salt lake at Obdorsk 10
nine miles wide and seventeen miles
long, yet except in a few places it is
solidly rooted over with a deposit Of
salt which is becoming thicker and
thicker each year.
About the middle OF the last cen
fury salt crystals first began to gather
upon the. surface Of the water. Year
by year, owing to the evaporation Of
the water. the crystals became more
numerous and then caked together un-
til THIS great roof was formed. In
1878 the water beneath this salt
crystal roof found an underground out
let into the Obu river. This lowered
the lakes surface about three feet,
leaving that distance between the wa
ter and the roof, and each year this
distance has been diminished by the
constant addition OF salt crystal to the
roof.
Many springs surround this lake.
Their water flows over the roof and
evaporates there and thus continually
adds to it's thickness. After many
years the springs will probably be-
come choked with their own deposits,
and then the whole will become COW

mine will be formed, treasure for
