A Game Of Words.

Three lives is word game played
by any number Of persons The first
player thinks of word and gives its
first letter. The second thinks Of one
beginning with that letter and gives
the second letter. The third thinks Of
one beginning with these two letters
and gives the third. This goes on till
some one is unable to think Of word
beginning with all the letters given
or till some ones letter finishes a
word Of four or more letters. In ell
Their Of these cases the player Is said
to lose a life," and the one next in
order begins new word. When any
one has lost three lives he drops out
Of the game. and the victor is he who
remains in at the last. Thus sup
pose the first player thinks Of "house"
and says Oh" The second thinks Of
''happy" and says "a" The third
thinks of harness" and says "R. .
The fourth thinks Of "harpy," but can
not say "P," because that completes
the word "harp," so he thinks Of 'Har-
LEM and says "L.' The fifth Is unable
to think Of any word beginning with
"harl," and so loses life. When only
two or three are left in the game 1t
becomes more exciting, each one try
ing to give the word such turn that
the next will either not be able to go
on with it or will be forced to com
plete it. When player cannot go on
and has thus lost life he may re-
quire from any one before him to tell
what his word was; otherwise play
er might merely add letter without
thinking of any word at all.

Roger Bresnahan. leader Of the St.
Louis Cardinals, Is the sensation Of
the National league this season. With
q team picked to finish about sixth or
seventh, he has forced the pace and
has his Cardinals camped close up on
the leaders. Bresnahan is graduate
Of the McGraw school He is an ag-
gressive, resourceful leader and with
but mediocre material Is making every
team step to win. His men admire
his fighting spirit and seem imbued
with it. Even if the Cardinals get no
higher than they are at present Bres-
nahan will have earned his salary, and
his performance in landing them as
high as fifth will be met with accla-
nations by the Mound City fans and
baseball sharks everywhere.

FOR The CHILDREN
What Mother Said.
aow a little girl Of nine.

know a little girl Of nine.
Il wonder If you've met her!
think If you should see her once
You never would forget her.
She's such a fussy little girl;
There is so much to fret her.
It is so very hard to learn
The tasks her teachers set her.
She wants to do SO many things
Her mother doesn't let her.
But, then, when she Is ten years old
Perhaps she may do better.
I'm sure she will not like to think
When she's little older
How very, very many times
Her mother had to scold her.
If she would think about it now
Perhaps it might withhold her
From yielding to the fretfulness
That has so long controlled her.

EXTENSION DIVISION sUGeEs.
TIONS

Save seed corn early.
Fall blowing is injurious to cut
worms and grasshoppers.
If possible, disk stubblefelds, to
conserve moisture and destroy weeds.
Fall blowing exposes the soil to the
elements which aid in liberating plant
food.
Select early a plenty Of seed-corn,
so that further and more rigid selec.
ton may be made next spring.
If your teacher attempts to teach
Agriculture in your school, encourage
her and the pupils by your approval
and help.
From May 18th to September LIST
there are Ito days. Varieties of corn
that will mature in that time are safe
in Minnesota
Fall blowing will make a much
more compact seed-bed than will
spring blowing, and crops grown
thereon will be less subject to injury
from drouth.
Fall blowing is recommended for
corn; and, If manure is to be applied,
it may be put on as a top-dressing at
the rate of from to IL tons per
acre, and disked in.
A Farmers Club is worth money to
any community of farmers. Start
something of the kind in your neigh
.borhood. For suggestions, send for
Extension Bulletin No. L, which is
free.
If you have fifteen or more head Of
cattle, and haven't silo, it will pay
you to look into the subject of silos
pretty carefully; and if you do, you
will probably decide that you need a
silo.
A good acreage of corn, which
means plenty of feed; and good
bunch of cattle, which means plenty
of fertilizer for the land, together
mean good crops and reasonable farm
profits.

A RUNNING Maze,

The players should form in a long
line, one behind the other. The lead
er starts running and is followed by
all the rest. They must be sharp
enough to do exactly as the leader
does. After running for moment or
two in the ordinary step the leader
changes to hopping step, then to q
marching step, quick time, then to a
marching step, slow time, claps, runs
with hand on sides or shoulders or
any other manner which may occur to
him.
Finally the leader runs slowly round
and round into the center and can Ell
ther wind the line up tightly or can
turn it on nearing the center and run
out again. This is nice game for an
outdoor party.

Fortifyina the simplon.

Both Italy and Switzerland are TAX
ing measures to fortify the entrances
Of the Simplon tunnel, while in the
tunnel itself engineers are engaged in
constructing mines and strengthening
those already in place in order to be
able to blow it up at a moment notice
in the event of war. Near the middle
Of the tunnel, a few yards from the
Swiss frontier, Italian engineers have
put in place a double iron door that
can resist the rush Of an express train
travelling at the rate of sixty miles an
hour. This iron door is worked by
electricity from Iselle. the station at
the Italian end Of the tunnel. and I'M
der ordinary conditions it is hidden
in the rocky side of the tunnel. The
door is carefully tested once week.
The mines are connected with Brig,
and Iselle by electric devices, so thar
by the mere pressure Of button the
Simplon tunnel could be destroyed in
second. -Harper's Weekly.

At meeting Of the International
Football association board Of Great
Britain the following proposal was
submitted by the Football association.
Law l footnote (B) to read, "Clubs
may during the season of 1911-12 mu-
tually agree to use a ball other than
one with an outer case Of leather, pro-
vided this law is otherwise complied

ADVERTISING AUCTION SALES
Farmers Can Advertise More Ad-
vantageously Through the News
papers Than by Sale Bills

There are no men who can use adj
vertising more effectively and adj
vantageously than the farmers who
are holding public sales. 1t must
also be said that there are few men
who lose so much money through
failure to appreciate the value of adj
|vertising and the necessity of spend
ing money for it. It is true that pub
lie sales are better advertised than
they were a few years ago, but it is
also true that many farmers are so
averse to letting lose of little money
for advertising that they indulge in
false economy and greatly reduce
their receipts. The average farm
sale should be advertised to the ex-
tent of 500 to $25 and there are many
of them that could spend twice as
much and have it far more than re-
turned to them in increased receipts
on the day of the sale. Yet there
are men who expect to sell several
thousand dollars worth of stuff who
think they have advertised literally
when they tack up some bills and dis
tribute some cards. They save a
few dollars by leaving the newspapers
alone, but one additional buyer would
pay for all the advertising and the av-
erage newspaper is read by thousands
of prospective buyers whom the bills
and cards never reach
That the newspapers are the most
valuable medium for advertising the
public sales will be admitted by any
one who gives little thought to the
matter. The cards and bills are all
right, but the territory they reach
is circumscribed. If no advertising
at all were done, even if bills and
cards were not printed, there would
be some people within radius of a
few miles of the farm where the sale
was to be held who would hear about
it. The bills and the cards reach out
farther and should undoubtedly be
used, but it is the newspapers that
really give the public sale the most
valuable advertising. The farmer
thinks nothing of driving ten or twelve
miles or more to sale, if in reading
over the list of stock offered, he sees
some horses or some cattle he thinks
would suit him and it is these farm
ers who live six or eight or more
miles away from the place where the
sale is being held that would not learn
of it from the bills but must depend
upon the newspaper for information
concerning it. He sits in his home
and reads in his newspaper descrip-
ton Of the horses and cattle and hogs
that someone considerable distance
away is offering and makes up his
mind to attend And that kind of a
visitor to public sale is worth doz-
en- who come for the purpose Of visit
| ing and with no definite intention OF
buying, unless things are extremely
cheap.
The farmer who is going to have
sale should look into this advertis-
| ing proposition carefully. Far more
money is lost by those holding public

Origin Of sirIoin.

The word sirloin came from the
French "surloin," which means "be-
side the loin.' The spelling was
changed to sirloin as the result Of a
joke on the part of James I. Of Eng
land.
One evening he was feasting after a
long days hunt, when a surloin Of beef
was placed before him. It was so de-
licious that, laying his sword across it,
he knighted it, saying, "Not surloin,
but Sir Loin!"
Always from that time this cut Of
meat has been known by its noble
name Of sirloin.

Out Of Reach Of Lightning.
Men Of science have finally decided

on submarine boat. People have
been killed in balloons. in cellars. deep
down In mines. on trolley cars, In au-
tomobiles and all the other places
which have had some advertising as
safety resorts, but the diving boat is
still immune by the records. Electric
storms cause a great deal Of terror.
Keep away from the windows and OBJ

steel or iron and don't worry. There
has been more suffering in advance
Of lightning strokes than after them.

Heights Road Cooperation.

AT the meeting of the board of alder
men of Palatka Heights on Tuesday
evening action was taken to push con-
nection of the county roads with the
city pavement.
Aid. Benz. |. Gay, president of the
Palatka city council appeared before the
aldermen and urged immediate action
on the part of the board in making con-
nection and promised the support of the
Palatka council.
The report of the road committee was
encouraging, showing about $500 sub
scribed, many offers of help from indi-
viduals, and a good deposit of lime and
mari to work from. The committee
feels that il will be abe TO begin work
by the middle of this month.
This road committee of Palatka
Heights is of the pushing Sort-the kind
that gets results, and it has half-dozen
more like it in reserve. The council
instructed the committee to appear be-
fore the Palatka city council and the
county commissioners and get immedi.
ate action on the project. The board
also made vigorous protest against the
sale of, or renting outside the county,
the steam road roller.

allow the use of his name for this Off

consented. If the rumor is true we may
expect a most interesting race in the

IMMENSE CROWD
ATTEND FUNERAL
John Q. Tilghman's Bier Cow
cred with Beautiful Floral
Emblems.

The simple funeral ceremonies Incl
dent TO the interment of all that was
mortal of the late John Q. Tilghman
were held at his late residence in the
west end at $3.50 last Saturday morning.
Long before the hour set for the cere-
mony, people began arriving and at the
opening of the service the house was
filled with friends of the dead manu-
facturer, the crowd also filling the yard
enclosure and stretching out into the
street.
People in all circumstances of life
were there-the merchant, the banker,
the laborer, the professional man, the
artisan, all, for John Q. Tilghman was a
lover of his fellow man, and his fellow
men and citizens loved him and were
saddened at his taking off at an age
which, under favorable circumstances OF
health, hold the promise OF many more
years of usefulness.
But the flowers. They too had been
sent by all classes, by the MaSons, the
Order of the Easter Star, the Methodist
choir and individuals. There were
wreaths, stars, crosses, and a beautiful
floral harp, the gift of the choir of the
CuuiCu VI WHICH HC was 81 lOlS uC-
voted and consistent member. Rarely is
such profusion of floral emblems and
flowers seen at thes funeral of private
citizen. They were indeed the offerings
of love-beautiful tokens from sad
dened hearts.
Rev. H. Dutill read the scripture les
sons, made brief, appropriate remarks on
the life and splendid character of the
dead, offered simple prayer and bene
diction, and the service was over.
There was no singing.
1t was a long procession that followed
the remains to their final resting place
in West View cemetery, and the gather
ing at the grave, like that at the house,
was Unprecedented in Palatka.
Here the service was the ritual of the
Masonic order, read by Master Mason, l..
A. Smith.
The pail bearers were C. E. Rowton,
Henry Hutchinson sr, DR.. J. w. Darsey,
Judge E. E. Haskell, ]. N. Walton, L.
+. Jackson, E. M. Earnest and i. X.
Tucker.
During the hour of the funeral the
business houses of Palatka were closed.
