Cr-tcnnes are so attractive that they
have inspired much designing of ar
ticles for personal use and house dec
grafton. Recently linen crash and
lowered cretonnes have become more
popular than any other fabrics fol-
tasteful and inexpensive fittings and

A young man stated the other day
that if there was one bird that he
thoroughly desteted it was kingbird,
and on all possible occasions he shot
one. says the Franklin Journal. De-
partment of agriculture experts have
granted certificate of good charac-
ter to this bird and exonerated it of
being a destroyer except for good.
For years it has been under indict-
ment as a destroyer of bees and
foe to apiarists Experts say that
1t kills only the drones and is there
fore a boon to the bee keeper Be-
sides that. it preys on many harmful
insects and protects farmers chick

and chicken hawks which they saw

The sides of the pillow may be made
out of one-inch boards 10 or IL inches

you did the runner ends, and overlap
one on the other In the same way:
then fasten them to the side edges of
the base.
The two pieces OF board fastened
to the top edges Of the sides not only
form a seat, but act as braces for the
sides as we'll. Trim off the square

TURKS And ARABS
BATTLE ITALIANS
AIl-Day Fight Takes Place near
Oasis of Ghirgarish.
At One Time Allies Turn italian
Right, but Are Unable to Follow
Up or Retain Advantage
Gained.

Dispatches received in Rome from
TripoIi tell of a severe battle between
the Italians and the combined Turks
and Arabs near Ghirgarish, small
oasis about ten or eleven miles from
TTipoli, in which at one point of the
engagement the Turks succeeded in
turning the Italian right, but were
finally forced to retreat.
The Italian columns, which consist
ed of three battalions Of infantry, a
battery of grenadiers, two batteries or
artillery and two squadrons of caval-
ry, in addition to engineers, was on
the march early in the morning when
they were surprised along the road by
a series Of onslaughts by Arabs and
Turks.
The Italian commander saw that the
enemy was in large numbers and he
ordered his men to take positions for a
serious battle. The men threw up en-
tIenchments and awaited the attack of
the Turks and Arabs, which continued
all day.
The entertainments had not been
completed when large force of Turks
and Arabs charged up and poured in
q CALLING fire on the Italians. The at
tackers fired from cover in tho brush
and on the oasis. The Italian artillery
men got their guns going and the
Turks retired.
The Turks returned with heavy rein
forcements and this time succeeded in
turning the Italian right The Italians
seemed to show signs of yielding, but
the commander rallied his men, and
after several hours hard fighting the
Turks were driven back.
No estimate is given of the losses
on either side, but they are believed
to have been heavy.

FORMAL WILEY VERDICT
Investigators Hold Chief Chemist
GuiltIess, but Score Methods,

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the chief
chemist, is held mot guilty of con-
spiracy to evade the law in a report
filed with the house by the committee
which conducted an investigation last
August into the charges on which
President Taft was asked to dismiss
the nations chief chemist from the
government service.
Not only does the committee alb
solve Dr. Wiley from criticism for the
employment of DR.. H. H. Rusby of
New York as a government expert at
a technical rate of $40 day but it at
lacks in measured terms the whole adj
ministration of the national pure food
law and demands of congress action
to change the method in the depart
ment of agriculture by which the law
is applied.
