King George Is Debtless.

George V. is one of the few mon
archs who have ever assembled a
throne without a penny of debt. He
will have, therefore, no need, and
he certainly has no inclination, to
surround himself with the German
Jewish capitalist set with whom
King Edward rather too openly
mingled The old English aristocracy
will come into its own again at the
new Kings court, and the atmos-
phere of the royal household will
be everything that is humdrum
But while George V. is British
through and through, he is not by
any means as negative a personal
ity as many people think. The
English papers writes of him as
though he we're a dummy. He is,
as a matter of fact, an OutspOken,
energetic, rather obstinate man,
with strong views of his own on
public questions and Troy views
at that; not at all afraid of response

Weaving Gold Cloth.

Upon a hand loom in the silk
works at Braintree. England, a start
has been made in weaving the cloth
of gold from which will be made
the coronation robes for the king
and queen. The honor of weaving
the costly fabric has fallen to
Thomas Wheeler, an experienced
weaver, who finished his first days
work with two inches of woven
gold and silk showing upon the
front of his loom The process is
very slow, because OF the care need
ed in the manufacture and this two
inches will be about the daily aver
age.
By the express command of
Queen Mary the entire fabric of the
cloth of gold will be of English
make. When finished the length,
which will be insured for $780,
will be conveyed to the London
School of Art NeedlewOrk, to be
made up into the royal robes The
cloth consists of threads of pure
gold, woven into a fabric of invisi,

more than its weight in gold. The
greatest care is taken to guard the
precious cloth by day and night. -

Turned Them Loose.

Senator Drunert liberated four
pairs of imported Hungarian part
ridges on the Thompson farm east
of town Monday. These birds were
trapped in Hungary and shipped
here. They are much larger and
wilder than our native quail and
somewhat lighter in color. Six
pairs of the English Ring Neck
pheasants were liberated on the
same farm last summer and are do
ing fine, having stood the winter
very well. If the birds are not dis
turbed the country will soon be
stocked with the finest game birds
to be found anywhere.
The Thompson farm comprises
about one thousand acres and hunt
ing will not be allowed on any part
of it, and if parties in charge of the
adjoining land would give these
birds the proper protection there is
no re lson why the country should
not be stocked in a few years as
the birds multiply rapidly. These
birds are protected under the law
and a penalty of from $25 to $50
is imposed for injuring or killing
one of them no matter where found.

Spelling As She Is Snelt.

An old-fashiOned woman who
sometimes complains of fads in the
public schools has an opera bag and
a letter marked Exhibits / end g.

opera is made of soft burned leather
deliberately monogrammed and be-
fringed. The letter reads:

Wholly Desirable.

This country is a gamer when it
adds to its population a desirable
foreigner, because every newcomer
adds a moiety to the wealth of the
community he joins. Just at pres
ent, if we are to believe such
authorities as Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson, we need more than
anything else agriculture help and
plenty of it. Economists, scientists,
railroad presidents, and publicicts
of all kinds have admonished us
about our farms and agricultural
methods. They have informed us
that a most vital problem confront
ing US is the necessity for more and
better farming. In such a case it
is gratifying to learn that we have
been receiving of late a number of
desirable Immigrants skilled in
agricultural pursuits. On Tuesday
last more than four hundred farm
erS from Holland and Belgium ar
rived in New York, on their way to
Minnesota. The majority of these
were Dutchmen, who were accom-
panied by their families. A short
time ago another substantial con-
tingent of farmers from Holland
arrived in this country, and by this !
time, doubtless, are settled in the
West. The oppressive treatment of
the wealthy landlords of Friesland |
is said to be responsible for this
exodus, which must prove Hollands
loss and Americas gain, eventually.
Now, these are types of immigrants
this country wants, and they are
going where they will best serve
themselves and their adopted coun-
try. If we could only evolve some
system of alien distribution the i'm
migrant problem would largely
solve itself. AS against a density
in population of almost 400 resi-
dents to the square mile in Ger
many, and almost 600 in Belgium,
we have a density of only 90 Under
the circumstances, we still Gin
absorb a great many Europeans,
but we should not encourage them
to locate in our seab0ard cities and
but rather in the
agriculture sections of our Central
and Far West The Dutch and
Belgian farmer now coming to us
is pointing the way out of our inn

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Do not feed corn to the breeding
ewes; it is too heating.
Pigs that are carelessly weaned are
likely to be given quite a setback.
The sheepfold should be literally
bedded and the bedding should be
changed often.
For horses at hard or fast work in
the summer time. clover hay may
prove too laxative.
In order that sows may use oats
to the best advantage they should by
all means be ground.
If the silage has been properly put
in, there is no reason why it should
not keep through the summer.
After pigs are weaned, one of the
most common causes of runts is the
feeding of a straight corn diet.
Peas should be well podded before
hogs are turned in, and after that
stage they may be hogged off with
profit.
For stations, brood mares. young
horses, and horses at light work. good
quality clover or. alfalfa hay can not
be excelled.

It is a popular fallacy that small
steel objects, such as scissors OF
knives, will attract lightning" The
destructive flashes which need be
feared range anywhere from 200 feet
to a mile in length and are commonly
of 50,000-horse power. while their
cross sections are like those of iron
bars heated to Wilderness. 1t is,
therefore. silly to suppose that such
an insignificant thing as a pair OF
scissors would attract such a force
out of it's path. and it is equally silly
to believe that plate of glass or a
few inches of feather bedding would

~wREv FOB TELLING TREES
Device in Actual Use In Germany
Cut Is Both Cleaner and Smooth
er Than by Saw

From Berlin comes the news that a
device reported some years ago on
this side of the Atlantic is in actual
use in Germany for telling trees. The
trunks are cut by the friction of a
steel wire one millimeter in diameter,
which. as demonstrated by practical
tests. is able to cut through a tree
about 20 inches in thickness in G
minutes The wire. which is carried
to and mo by an electric motor. is
heated by friction on the tree to such
an extent as to burn through the tim
Der, the result being a cut which is
both smoother and cleaner than that
effected by saw. The wire, it is said.
will work satisfactorily on the thick
est trees without the insertion of
wedges into the cut, and the trees
may be cut Immediately above or be-
low the ground. In the latter case
the stump may be left safely in the
soil. The motor which actuates the
wire is placed outside of the range
affected by the fall of the tree. and
when electricity is not already avail
able it can be generated by a trans
portable power plant consisting of a
10-horse power gasoline motor and
dynamo. which are left at the en-
trance of the forest during the telling
operations.

HUMAN TELEPHONE is LATEST
Or. Rieder Plans to Charge Body
With Rapidly Alternating Cur
rents Of Electricity.

The human telephone is at once the
newest and the oldest form of tele-
phony. Some years ago it was shown
that it was possible to charge the
human body with tremendously high
alternating currents Of electricity.
And it is we'll known that the body
has been used as an electric battery
for many experiments.
It is now suggested by one DR.. Rie-
der Of Steglitz that by charging the
body with these rapidly alternating
impulses the drum of the ear can be
made to respond to their action and
vibrate so as to hear the current. The
ear would then become a kind of tele-
phone disk and would be aware of
changes In the intensity of the cur
rent. Il is necessary simply to press
against the ear the outer metallic
coating OF a Leyden jar whose inner
coating is connected with one pole OF
an induction coil and to grasp the op-
posite pole with one hand.
Rieder thinks it not impossible to
perfect this arrangement so that II
will transmit speech telephonically
II Is thought that deaf people might
be sensitive to the device AS DIT
Rieder finds that there is a feeling Of
oppression in the ear for severa
hours after such experiments. the
auditive organs must be acted upor
in quite a different way from that o.
an ordinary telephone.
