peep into her Jewel case. She had a
thrill of joyful possession as she saw
the chain glittering in it's azure nest.
Oh. you beautiful darlings!" she
whispered. STOPPING. she kissed them
with girlish abandon. Reluctantly at
last she closed the lid upon her treas

That night she went to sleep with
happy thoughts OF diamonds and blue
velvet running through her head.
Naturally, her waking thoughts col

knowledge she saw what had fright

In the farthest corner of the room,
opposite the bed, stood a masked man.

CHICKS

In these days of brooder chicks,
many troubles are noted in the raising
o. the youngsters. Perhaps most Of
these troubles are due to the results Of
improper incubation and brooding; too
much or too little heat, causing a loss
Of vitality. Many troubles too are in

both eggs for market and for hatch

care, too little exercise developing lack

Nine wolf cubs captured by an old
trapper peculiarly marked with white
front feet We're presented to Auditor
Criswell Of Mills county, for bounty
several days ago.
The cubs had been taken from a
hole in the West Oak hills. A farmer
living in the West Oak hills heard Of
the peculiar markings and was so in
county seat to see them. This was
his story:
Early last winter Shep. a dog Of no
particular breed, night guard Of the
farm, discovered a wolf that had
sneaked in from a brush ticket, stalk
ing a hen. The wolf was driven off,
but the dog was not able to catch the
animal.
For several months the wolf return
ed almost every day until the chases
became quite p~erfunctory. The farm
er had become accustomed to watch
ing the marathon.
On a bright day, almost three
months after the VOLTS first visit. the
wolf turned on Its pursuer, but the
expected battle was never fought! The
dogs bristles smoothed down and after
watching each other for a few minutes
both animals turned, shep returning
to the barnyard, the wolf going into
the hills.
Very soon afterward the dog disap-
peared. He has not returned.
There is a ridge along these West
Oak hills overlooking the river bot
tom, and the farmers. son several
times have seer what they believed
to be Shep and the wolf romping side
by side along this ridge.

NO AMERICAN M1L1TAN1.

Mrs. A. d. White having criticised
the attitude Of the N. A. W. S. A. to-
ward English m%ilitancy. Mrs. STAN
ley Mccormick writes in the New
York Times:
Our National association consists
OF 1000 branch associations in thirty
eight states and the District of Column
bia. and meets but once a year., at an
annual convention. AS the question
Of militancy in England has never
been discussed at such a convention.
and, as 1t is a question on which there
g q variety of opinion. it would not
be possible today for the National as
Fociatton to voice the opinion of all its
members. Some of our members ap-
prove the urse pursued by the Wo-
mems Social and Political union.
Many are as opposed to it as is Mrs.
White. Under these circumstances,
The National association can speak
neither for nor against m%ilitancy in
England.
The only action the association has
F4ken recently In regard to this uues-
ion has been a cable to Mr.. Asauith
arging that the British government
acknowledge its responsibility for the
present 'tntolerable situation-intoler-
bile alike to the militants and the

md the public at large-and take the
lecessary steps, such az an emersen-
= franhise measure (steps which no

In regard to Jul recent appeal for
contributions to the funds of the Ma
onal association, Of which Mrs,
White speaks. I would say that this

pms either for or against militancy
