How Sea Birds Drink.

Under the headline, Where Do They
Get Water? a writer in the Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: When
was cabin boy | often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands OF
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty.
One day a squall answered that ques-
don for me. It was a hot and glitter
ing day in the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead a black rain cloud ap-
peared all of a sudden. Then out OF
empty space over hundred sea birds
came darting from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill. In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands of miles away
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out
storm a long way off; they travel
hundred miles maybe to get under 1t.
and they swallow enough raindrops to
keep them going. York Trib

HOSIERY FOR THE CHILDREN
Socks of Plain Colors Will Not Be
Worn This Summer by
Stylish Tots.

Socks of plain colors are not to be
worn this summer by smartly dressed
children. Up to the age of IL girls
will not wear long stockings after
warm weather comes on.
Checks and stripes in most striking
effeSts appear in one pair. Blue and
yellow stripes form the short leg,
while the top is banded with blocks
containing the same color. These are
to use with frocks of plain colors, and,
fortunately, for the eyes of those who
behold, there are notifications for
plaid dresses
With the latter it is considered best
to have plain hosiery with black tops,
the same colors being carried out as ap.
pear in the dress. The only hue which

little ones black is mourning, pure

FARM OR WORKHOUSE.

Kansas City has had one year OF
experience with a farm which was
established to take the place OF the
municipal workhouse. The results OF
aer first years trial have been more
satisfactory than the most sanguine
advocates Of the plan had dared
hope, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The report shows that while the
workhouse cost the city 1920 year
per prisoner, the farm has earned
800 a year profit for each prisoner.
IN other words the actual loss OF 50
cents a day per prisoner has been
turned into a profit OF 80 cents a day.
The financial gain, however, Is the
smallest part of the advantage. The
board of public welfare reports that
he prisoners have taken the keenest
interest in their work, have shown
no desire to escape. and that many
II them have hurried to the farms
10 soon as their sentences have been
Berved. The men who. through dis
,ipation or the commission Of minor
,ffenses, have been sentenced to
work on the farm have found the
pleasure and health that comes from
employment in the open. Men en-
ployed on the Kansas City farm have
completed their sentences with coats

Chicago, November 2.-Any man or
 set of men who buy so much grain
 that the price is held out of line oI sidered as acting in restraint of trade That Is the basis upon which, in the opinion of President J. c. F. Merrill of the Chicago Board of Trade, Wash ington agents are working on in the investigation of the alleged corner Tn wheat centered at Chicago and extend ing from Duluth and Minneapolis to the seaboard.
 President Merrill lid tonight: T know that the federal agents who were in LaSalle street Tuesday went to the Northwestern elevators yester- day. This makes it look as if the de- partrnent of justice at Washington con sidered there was some understanding between big wheat owners here and at other large centers. So far as the Board of Trade as ar organization is concerned all is serei

 One theory was that the government proceedings were originally started
 With d view. to heading off such a mammoth transfer.
 President George E. Marcy of the Armour Grain company said: The government. is welcome to any information concerning ou1 business which we have. All any agent of the government need do is to tell us what he wants and we will give it to him if We have it. As for sweeping down on us to seize our warehouse receipts, that is absurd and unfounded.
