In West Dayton there was consid.

are relatively small compared to the
first estimates. In East Dayton, Day

Chief Allaback said would be small.

Offers 500 Bushels of Potatoes.
O..J. Barnes this afternoon notified
the. Times-Herald that he would be
willing to give 500 bushels of potatoes
to the flood sufferers If the rest Of the
citizens of Grand Forks would provide
means for the purchase of 500 sacks
of flour. The matter Of transportation
is being taken up this afternoon to de-
termine whether or not the produce
can be handled.
Situation Demands Action.
All the more detailed accounts Of
the flood emphasize more and more
the horrors of the situation. Help is
being given as rapidly as possible by
those who are nearest the scene and
who are not themselves in need Of as
sistance. But help from the entire ma
ton is urgently needed, and 1t must
be promptly given to be of service.
The National Red Cross has charge Of
the general relief work. as through its
agency Is 1t possible most readily to
organize all the relief work that Is un-
dcrtaken in addition to that being per-
formed by those who are themselves
in the storm swept area.
In order to aid as far as possible in
carrying out the spirit Of the presi-
dents plea for aid. The Times Herald
company will receive and forward to
the proper quarter all contributions
which may be made in this locality.
Gifts of money may. as the president
suggests, be sent direct to the Red
Cross society at Washington for this
purpose. and however they are sent
they will be welcomed. If 1t Is a con-
venience to any to use the oflces Of
The Herald and Tho Evening Times
for this purpose the management will
be glad to serve. and has itself already
donated 800. Contributions will be
acknowledged as received.

New Haven. March 2S.-Observa-
tons extending over some twenty
years for the parallax Of fixed stars
have been completed at the Yale OBJ
The observations have In
cluded 2SS stars Of the northern heav.
ems.
The nearest Of the stars which came
under observation-which, in. fact, IL
the nearest Of all the fixed stars of
the northern hemisphere-is one OF
the seventh magnitude. and is invisi-
BILE to the naked eye. 1t is 46.000.-
000.00O,000 miles from the earth, de-
noted in astronomical terms by about
eight Tight years." This means that
light. which travels about 1861
miles a second, would require eight
years to traverse the distance from

Color

Color is largely a matter Of breed.
The color character in eggs has no
relation whatsoever to their food
value. An egg with a white shell does
not differ in composition from one
with with a brown shell. Eggs Of the
Mediterranean breeds are white, while
those OF the Asiatic breeds are brown.
In general the eggs of the American
breeds are also brown, but are rarely
as uniform in color as the ether two
classes. Uniformity in color regard

have always used large, full feath-
cred hens for hatchings, only allowing
the geese to sit on the last eggs OF
the season. A good broody hen will
steadily sit the 80 days occupied in
the incubation Of these eggs.
If she be given no more than four
eggs and they are set in an earth nest
and turned once daily they should in
almost every case produce vigorous
goslings if the parent birds are healthy
and we'll matured.
Some people find difficulty during
the early days of raising In the ten
dency Of the birds to fall upon their
backs and an inability to right them
selves without assistant, necessitat
ing combined watchfulness or loss.
This, however, is nuisance that
may be avoided by the use Of the eggs
Of mature, sound stock only, the
weakness being absent In the progeny

ton.
The actual rearing presents no diff
culties to one qualified in poultry
raising. Long brooding Is unnecessary
and an ordinary hen coop is sufficient
to accommodate three or four goslings
and hen as long as it is necessary
to leave the latter in charge, but dur.
ing the first days the gosllng's run,
which should be on short grass, should
be limited.
The best diet Is a simple one and
for the first few days l have found
nothing better than stale bread we'll
soaked and squeezed moderately dry
and mixed with liberal allowance of
dandelion leaves, well chopped and
free from stringy pieces. Biscuit meal
may be used instead Of the stale bread
but 1t is more expensive and the re.
suits are no better.
By the middle of the first week
ground oats should take the place of
the bread, mixed with a sufficient
quantity Of grit to make the mixture
crumbly, the dandelions being com.
bined.
The green food may be gradually
reduced and finally abandoned when
the young birds are grazing freely.
They should commence grazing at
about week old.
Upon a good grazing ground and
with sufficient supply of soft food
mixture, of wAieh ground oats should
be the staple ingredient, goslings will
progress rapidly.

firmly beneath the pony. She strug.

the faith that she might save Ham,

imprisoned limb free, only to find II
numb and helpless. She lay there
breathless, conscious that she ached

Sergeant groaned and turned partial
ly over upon his side. Tugging at the
blanket she managed to free one arm,
gripped the name of the dead pony,
and drew herself into a sitting pos
ture, Now the blood seemed to surge
through her veins in new volume, and
she labored feverishly to release the
other hand. At last she undid a knot
with her teeth, and slipped the
blanket from her, beating her hands
together to restore circulation. Her
right leg still was too numb to stand
upon, but she crept forward, dragging
it helplessly behind her over the snow,
to where Hamlin lay.
The girls heart seemed to stop
beating as she looked at him-at the
white, colorless face, the closed eyes,
the discoloration of blood staining the
temple. Yet he lived; his faint breath
was plainly perceptible In the frosty
air.

1t was an unrestrained cry of an
guish, yet there was no hesitation.
She had forgotten everything except
that helpless figure lying before her
on the snow-her own danger, the sur
rounding desolation, the dead forms
accentuating that wilderness tragedy.
With bare hands she bathed his face
in snow, rubbing the flesh until it
flushed red, pressing her own warm
body against his, her lips speaking his
name again and again, almost hys-

no serious wound which had creased

other he would surely revive, and the
discovery sent her h}Uod throbbing
through her veins. She lifted his head
to her lap, chatting his cold wrists
frantically, her eyes staring again out
across the barren snow fields, with
fresh realization of their intense lone
llness. She cho%ed back sob of de.

eyes were open, regarding her in be-
