Washington, Jan. 2s.--Men of the
navy must find some means of pro-
viding for the expense of maintaining
pool and billiard tables other than
from the sale of food left over from
meals supplied by the government.
This decision, made public by the
comptroller Of the treasury, brought
sorrow to the hearts Of the enlisted
men of the Norfolk navy yard, who
had been in the habit of maintaining
their billiard tables through the pro-
ceeds from the sale Of bits of broken
bread and other 'leavings" from the
barracks mess rooms.
Eat all you want, but whatever
you don't eat is the property of your

HELEN TAFT IS A HEROINE
Risks Life In Effort to Save Friend
From Being Killed by Run
away Horse.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Miss Helen
Taft, daughter Of the president. was
the heroine OF a thrilling runaway
when she risked her life by racing her
mount through the streets of Wash
ington in an effort to save Miss Mar.
tina Bowers from being dashed to
death by the saddle horse she had
been riding as member of Miss
Taft's party.
AS it was, Miss Bowers was thrown

dashed wildly down Sixteenth street,
crashing into a street car at U street

Earmer,s wife Make. Money.

Ida Grove, Jan. 29.--Mrs. John Jen-
Isen.- Of Maple township, sold during
the year 1912. 81 ,053.ss worth Of but
ter, cream, eggs and chickens. She
kept an accurate account of all she
marketed, thus demonstrating that
she is also a good business woman.
The value of the butter, made from
eight cows, was S59966. To this must
be added $14 worth of cream, which
brings the dairy total up to $613.66, or
an average of s5113 per month. To
put 1t in another way, the value of the
butter and cream sold during the year
equalled the value of the cows. But
the poultry end of the business was
fully as satisfactory as the dairy end.
Mrs. Jensen started the year with
200 chickens. and after marketing
$l56.50 wirth of poultry she had 200
chickens left at the end of. the year.
The value OF the eggs sold was $244.-
70, making the total for chickens and
eggs Y401.22. And, remember, she had
as many chickens left as she started
with. Placing the value of the eight
cows at $500 and that of the 200 chick
ems at 1920. Mrs. Jensen's investment
was 1920. Her gross income was, as
above stated, more than $1,000. Just
how much should be deducted from
this for feed and labor is rather diff
cult to determine, but the feed was
produced on the farm and the labor
well, that doesn't really count for
much as Mrs. Jensen had good deal
of fun all the time she was making
this record with her cows and chick
ems .H.
