Gamblers Open Fire.

Rural Policeman Madden captured
three gamblers near Mountvine Sun
day, after a fusilade of shots were
fired by the gamblers. Mr. Madden,
with several assistants, slipped in up
on the crowd of men, about twelve of
them, and when the gamblers discov-
cred the presence of the officers they
opened fire with guns. The Of
Acers. of the law, however, closed In
upon them and succeeded IN capturing
three out of the bunch and secured
enough evidence from them to run
down the rest The officers had
a narrow escape from being sho.

raid was received over the telephone
yesterday and furthr particulars could
not be gotten because the lines were
in poor order as a result of the rains.

GIVING CHARCOAL TO FOWLS
Puts Them in Good Condition for
Work and Prevents Many Diseases
Incidental to Season.

Does the average farmer know that
an excellent grade of charcoal can
be made by burning corn cobs till
they turn red, eXtinGuishing the fire
and when dry grinding for mash
feeding for the poultry.
Charcoal is not a food, though
fowls gain in flesh and eggs during
its use; it simply puts them and
keeps them in a good condition for
work. 1t prevents disease because of
its great capacity TO absorb gases,
acids and impurities. 1t is an alter
ative, changing diseased conditions
to normal, disinfecting the diges-
tive tract and toning up the system.
In putrid disease like roup, in fer
mentation like sour crop, in intesti-
nal maladies like diarrhea or cholera,
it is of great benefit. In spring and
in summer, when the fowls blood is
sluggish it is needed as a purifier to
ward off diseases incidental to these
seasons.
1t should be kept before fowls in
size to suit their age, and where fowls
refuse to eat it fine charcoal should
be mixed in the mash occasionally. 1t
is best given to individual birds in
five-grain capsules-large doses are
necessary.

you will be unfortunate in attempts
to raise any goslings even if you do Sc
cure ganders. This is because the
mating season Is in the fall, usually
in September or October, and also be-
cause geese very much dislike to have
their quarters changed when once ac.
customed to them. For this reason peo-
pie who wish to secure birds for breed
ing purposes make their purchases in
the fall so the fowls will get accus-
toned to their new surroundings
Doubtless nests will be made and the
eggs laid. but the eggs may not hatch.
If you are forced to buy a gander this
spring, it will perhaps be advisable
for you to purchase some good eggs
of the same breed as you keep, and
use these rather than the eggs from
your own flock, or at least mark the
eggs so that you can distinguish the
purchased ones from those laid by
your own birds. In this way you
should not be wholly disappointed

FEASTING KINGS AND QUEENS
Parisans Find That Their Hospitality
Has Cost Many Millions
of Dollars.

1t is learned from an official report
just filed what it costs to entertain
kings and queens. The expression
treated royalty" will now have a def
mite meaning for Parisians
Figures show that it cost this city
something more than three million
dollars to be host for the Car of Rus
sia on his memorable visit which
marked the French-Russian alliance,
but only $4,000 was spent to give the
king of Sweden a good time while In
Paris.
Three times that amount was dis
bursed to entertain King Alfonso on
the visit when an anarchist threw a
bomb at him.
The king of Portugal was compara-
lively cheap guest, costing only
about $4,000
On the king of Norway $6S,000 was
expended, on the king of Italy s65,000
and on the late king Of Denmark $780,

ZONES OF ANCIENT GIANT
Amazing Discovery In Oregon 10 Of
Great Interest to Anthro-
biologists.

The discovery Of the bones of hui
man giant at Ellensburg is one of the
most interesting anthropological finds
made in the northwest, according to
L. L. Sharp, chief of the general land
office. Il Just returned from Ellens-
burg said he, where l had opportu-
nifty to view the bones unearthed. The
skull, jawbone, thigh and other parts
of the largest skeleton indicated a
man to my mind of at least eight feet
high A man of his stature and massive
frame would weigh fully 800 pounds
at least. The head is one Of the most
remarkable l ever have studied among
prehistoric skulls. 1t is massive, with
enormous brain space. While the fore
head slopes down somewhat, not av-
eraging the abrupt eminence of our
present race, the width between the
ears and the deep, well-rounded space
at the back of the head are convinc-
ing testimony of high intelligence for
a primitive man. The cheekbones
are not high, like those Of the In
dian, nor has the head any resem-
bance to the Indian skull. l am con-
vinced that this skull is of a prehis-
toric man who was one of a remark
able race of people who inhabited this
part Of America some time prior to
the Indian control.
THE bones were uncovered fully 20
feet beneath the surface. There is
the usual gravel formation on top,
then the conglomerate, a stratum of
shale, and in bed Of concrete gravel
beneath the shale were the bones Of
The giant and of a smaller person.
The shale would indicate tremendous
age, perhaps more than 100000
years, for the deposit in which the
skeleton was found. But this l deem
impossiblep, and presume that the
bones were put beneath the shale by
means of tunnel perhaps, or some
other system of interment. l cannot
think it possible that human being
of the advanced stage indicated by
this great skull could have existed at
the period when the shale was
formed Portland (Ore) Telegram.

Cotton Duck for Motor Tires.

One million yards Of high grade
duck, to be made from sea island
and Egyptian cotton. has recently
been sold by Georgia cotton mill to
a manufacturer of automobile tires.
The quality Of this material Is of
the highest grade, used only in the
larger tires, the lower grade of goods
being available for the smaller tires.
One million yards of cotton duck, one
yard wide. is a pretty big order to go
from one mill to one tire manufac-
turer.
1t illustrates, however, the ever
broadening market for cotton and the
reason why big cotton crop has been
SO promptly absorbed. Every year
sees new uses for the south's cotton.
Not only is it being used in the manu-
facture of tires, 1t is likewise used In
the manufacture of automobile tops,
and the wider the use of automobiles
the greater will be the demand for
cotton.-Manufactur Record.
