Cannes "Extase," while not as
well known as the preceding num-
ber. was Immediately populari2ed by

and beauty.
Prof Santos added new laurels to
himself in his rendition of Drdla's
Souvenir and "Czardas' on the vi
olin.
Miss Edna Lille sang Just a
Wearyin for You" in her usual
sweet style. The audience was given
a hint of the style to be followed
in many of the vocal solos in the fu-
ture by the stage setting for Miss
Lilies number. She was attired
in a simple house dress and carried
out the theme of her song with
feeling and sympathy for the role.
She was enthusiastically encored and
repeated the last stauZa of the IA
Yorite song.
The orches raj rendering of the
selections from the Spring Maid

HOT BREAKFAST MEANS MUCH
Success or Failure of the Day De.
Ponds to a Large Extent on
First Meal.

When a singularly successful bust
ness man was asked the secret of get
ting on in the world, he modestly said
his wife deserved most of the credit,
as she always had a good breakfast
ready for him Every day in the year.,
served punctually and piping hot, He
further said that poor food, especially
in the morning, was responsible for
many business failures, for the nan
who sets. out on a cold morning with
cold, Indifferent food in his stomach
is ill-prepared for the business battle.
1t takes time and planning, but it pays
to serve good breakfasts. 1t mean
getting up early enough to insure
against rushing about and fretting
when things go wrong, but n wise
woman counts it no sacrifice to send
her husband off CHEEKY and well fed.
There are plenty of ways in which
a woman without help may manage,
and even if she keeps a maid she
will find plenty to oversee n cor
rect day after day. The women who
rise early to get breakfast for their
husbands unite in saying there are

other women are sleepAy getting up,
the thrifty housekeepers have their
morning work done and are ready to
get the children off to school. There
would be fewer failures in school work
if all children were SEN to the school
room well fed in the morning. If
they We're aroused in time to dress
~leisurely and eat q hearty breakfast
there would be fewer cases of ervou
prostration among teachers. A cup
of hot cocoa, a poached egg, good
toast and w~ell-cooked cereal served to
the entire family in the morning and
eaten in a leisurely manner would rob
hospitals of many patients and give
doctors and surgeons extra vacations
every year.

While we in this country have been
suffering for some years from a lack
of rain, some parts Of Europe appear,
according to statistics. to be getting
more rain every year.
: Observations at the Observatory of
Paris show that from 1904 to 1924 the
average yearly rainfall was 502 milli-
meters Gan inch is about 25 MILNE
ters). In the next twenty years the
average was 507; hen from 1S45 to
1872 there was an increase to 525; in
the next twenty years it was 500, and
in the asst nineteen years the average
has grown to 5S4 administration
23R inches.
The co1nmonest theory to account
for this is that the smoke and dust
rising from a large city favor the
condensation of moisture. But this
theory runs counter to the experience
of London, the smokiest city Of Eu-
rope, where no such increased rain
fall is recorded.
And in some of the mountainous re-
gions of France the increase has been
as much as 73 per cent, as compared
with thirty years ago.

no avail. The doctors told me l would
have to have my head shaved. Being
a woman, I hated the idea of that. l
was told by a friend that the C%uticura
Remedies would do me good. This
spring I purchased two boxes of Cutl-
cura Ointment and n cake OF Cutl-
cura Soap. After using one box OF
Cuticura Ointment 1 considered the
cure permanent, but continued to use
it to make sure and used about one
half the other box. Now am entirely
well. l also used the Cuticura Soap.
"The disease began on the back OF
my head, taking the form Of a ring
worm, only more severe, rising to a
thick, rough scale that would come on
when soaked with oil or warm water,
bringing q few hairs each time, but in
a few days would form again, larger
each time, and spreading until the en-
tire back of the head was covered with
the scale. This was accompanied by
q terrible itching and burning sensa-
ton. Now my head is completely well

LINCOLN AND DENNIS HANKS
Incident Of War Days at Washington
Is Told by Cousin OF Martyred
War President.

AS q longtime acquaintance OF Den
mis- Hanks l wish to recall an incident
that may be OF interest. Hanks was
a nephew of Nancy Hanks, the moth
err Of Lincoln. He had acquired a
crude education before his cousin Abe
had a chance to learn, writes w. A.
Judson in the Indianapolis News.
ABB was determined to try for
something" Hanks said to the writer
one day in Paris, Ill. Il reckoned 1t
would not amount to much but ! says

ahead and knowed more than me-
Dennis Hanks moved from Ken
lucky with Lincoln, and the other
members of the family, to Indiana,
and thence to Illinois. They settled
first in Coles County, Ill, afterward
in Macon county, where Miss Nancy
Hanks, Ca daughter Of Dennis Hanks)
and a woman Of fine degree, was born
She married, in Decatur, Ill, P. L.,
Shoaff, who published Inc edited The
first newspaper in that town. Mr."
Shoaff afterward moved to Paris, and
founded the Gazette, a newspaper or
which his sons are now proprietors
and publishers.
While doing local editorial work on
the Gazette the writer n "old man
Hanks as we called him, had ire
quent chats and in n OF these chats
Dennis told why he went to Washing
ton, d. c., when President Abraham
Lincoln occupied h White House.
Mind you, Dennis was just as PLAIN
and unassuming as his cousin Abe, and
Just as kind-hearted.
A young soldier from Coles county
who, after a series Of forced marches
had been placed on picket duty in
the presence of the enemy, fell asleep.
Dennis Hanks was sen on % Wash
ington to intercede for the young
soldier, who had been court-marshaled
and sentenced to be shot.
Dennis Hanks in relating his expe-
rience at the White House, said: Il
went up there to see Abe and a porter
at the door said: What do you want!
I says, L want to see Abe Lincoln

GRAIN FEEDER FOR POULTRY.
Newly Invented Device Depends on
Same Principle as Is Used in
Batting Animal TrSp.

A newly invented type of automatic
poultry feeder depends upon che same
principle that is used in batting a trap,
for the feeder has a bait that is peeked
by the hungry fowls and, III response,
the machine lets a shower of grain
fall on the ground, which they deTour,
says the Popular Mechanics.
The machine consists Of q galfan~
ized-iron supply fount filed with eGain
and a revolving toothed wheel st tho
base of it. This wheel is mounted ON
very delicate bearings which admit" az
it's movement at the slightest tovHGh.
Attached to the wheel is a shaft witch
supports the bait. The bait ctns.ats
of a hollow tube of wire netting c0Zl-
tanning wheat. The fowls sec tae
wheat through the netting and peck TT
it, causing the toothed wheel to re-
volve and throw out grain from the tap
supply fount which falls on the loF-
er metal cone and is scattered oTGr
the ground almost as efficiently as ~
hand. This prevents the fowls from
gorging themselves.
After the feeder has been in use for
a time there is no great rush by the
fowls to peck the bait as one would

PUT Him OF All Right.

A soldier got a furlough at Nash.

of commissary, took the train FOR the

ANYHOW, an fl fight. yo' hi me an

During the night when they arrived
there the brakeman. after a terrlhc
fight, put the soldier off at Eliza
BEETHOVEN. AS it grew light and the
train neared Louisville the brakeman
shook the drowsy passengers and
shouted: "Al out!"
What does this mean?" said an
angry soldier, now sober, when he
got off n found himself at Louis
Vile. Didn't l give you a dollar
and tell you to put me off at Eliza

The trainman's jaw dropped, and
he stared at him blankly. Are you

it would hatch? Why, we'n have a

it to the Geological society, and I'll
patch up the egg after it has Matched

CHICKS MATCHED IN OCTOBER
viii Feather Out Before Cold Weather
Sets In and cockerels Attain
Salable Size.
,cBy sYLvANus VAN AKEN.3

CBy sYLvANUS VAN AKEN.)
These late Matched chicks nay be
made profitable If one has a separate
pen for them. Good fertile eggs car
usually be secured In September or
early October at a reasonable cost.
The chicks will feather out before
cold weather sets in and the cockerels
attain salable size at a time when they
command good prices. Lice are not
likely to be troublesome at this time
of year.
The pullets will begin laying as soon
as they are old enough, which is just
as the natural breeding season arrives
in spring. They are not mature
enough to make good breeding stock,
but will lay well all summer and fall
when other. fowls have largely stopped.
If you have accommodations for
them set a few hens or start an
incubator and later you will be able
to report good results.

A small creek runs through the

About 200 acres of this farm have
been sown to alfalfa, and in spite of
the absence of much rain it thrives
very well.
The old ranch owner raises from
500 to 1000 turkeys every year. and
about the only care he gives them is
to feed them alfalfa.

Use for Wireless TeIearaphy.

Wireless telegraphy is being sue
c%essfully made S of in survey
ing such countries as the Bel
gian Kongo, Sudan and similar
inaccessible places. 1t is well known
hat a very exact result can thus be
obtained for the difference in longi-
tude between any two points as shown
by the difference in their respective
times. Previous experiments prove that
this latter is readily shown by send
ing wireless signals between the two
points. The method is likely to prove
a valuable one in colonial regions,
where there are no telegraph lines, as.
portable wireless posts can be set up
with little trouble. In Belgium it is
thought hat a map of the Kongo
which would take ten years to draw
up can now be made in two years.

RANGE TO FATTEN TURKEYS

(By ANNA

Turkeys should have free range

We used to fatten the turkeys in
small enclosures but discontinued this
several years ago because they did
not seem to thrive we'll.
After the first few days they would
begin to lose their appetite, no mat
ter how great a variety of food was
given.
The whole trouble was lack of ex-
ercise. If a turkey cannot get plenty
of exercise it cannot nave a good aD-
petite and Of course will not gain IN

Give the turkeys plenty of corn
these days and see that they hare
plenty of sharp grit.
Better still, let the turkeys have

upon which it seldom stands straight.
There are some exceptions to this

Favorable for a good body; and, if it

CONSTITUTION OF GOOD FOWL
Characterized by Prof. W. r.

Prof. w. r. Graham Of the Ontario
station characterizes the points of a
weak and a co~nstitutionally strong
fowl as follows:
What we want Is a good feeder and
hn economical producer. Generally,
b bird with a short, stout. ~well-curved
beak, a broad head (not too long),
and a bright, clear eye, has a good
constitution. And I have noticed
that when a bird has a long, narrow
beak, a thin, long comb and head,
and an y somewhat sunken in the
