NEAT, EVEN FOR FRENCHMAN

The Partisan is proverbially polite,

cooks income, for every dealer allows
her about / cent on every 20 cents
that she spends. So French cooks in

Eclipse Of the Moon.

The eclipse of the moon is caused
by its passage through the shadow of
he earth. When the moon dips en-
.irely into the shadow the eclipse Is
total; when otherwise It is only par
lal. Sometimes the moon passes
bove or below the shadow, in which
went there is no eclipse at all. Every
hing depends upon the position OF
he shadow and the node" Because
here are two opposite nodes, and the
hadow moves around its circuit In
he course of the year, 1t follows that
he shadow will cross node every six
months. Hence 1t is only at intervals
Il somewhere near six months that an
eclipse of the moon can occur.

county seat and Forgan.
Most of the work was accomp-
iished by loading the wagons with
red clay dirt mixed with gyp and
hauling it to the road where it
was dumped and leveled off by
those in charge of this division of
labor. A unique bridge-like
arrangement was made for load
ing. AS soon as a wagon passed
under the bridge, it was quickly
filled by men with teams and
scrapers above dumping the dirt
into the hole or schultz, allowing
it to fall through into the wagon.
AS soon as one wagon was filled,
another moved under the bridge to
take its place and thus the work
progressed, it taking but a very
few minutes to fill wagon in
this manner. Plenty OF helpers
were to be had for every task.
Twenty-Five or thirty men single
handed were kept busy shoveling
dirt into wagons, others with
teams, drove fresnoes or wheelers,
others handled the plows, while a
couple of the business men acting
as waterboys were engaged in
supplying the needs of the thirsty
workmen. Everyone had his
task to perform and the day pas
sed without hitch or confusion, not
outstanding the fact that most of
them were businesr men and not
hardened to that kind of work.
A half dozen automobiles piled
back and forth between town and
the place of work conveying men
in the morning and afterward in
bringing the women, who prepar-
ed a tasty picnic lunch on the
ground at noon.
The work accomplished Thurs
day is only the beginning of the
good roads" movement in Beaver
county, The business men of
Forgan plan to have a good
roads" day regularly every other
Thursday and to put in shape all
the roads leading into town. The
farmers have taken a great deal
of interest and have manifested
their desire to cooperate with the
business men in building better
roads and with the start that has
been made new era of develop
ment and progress is in sight for
the people oy Beaver caunty.

A Story of Travel
BY DONALD CHAMBERLAIN

When l first became a globe trotter
Africa claimed my especial attention,
not that Africa occupied by negroes.
but northern Africa, which fifteen or
twenty centuries ago was a Roman
possession and a part of the then civ
ilized world. l resolved to travel
through Morocco into the heart of the
great Sahara desert.
When l first set up for a traveller and
crossed the British channel l found on
the other side Of that narrow strip of
water a different people, speaking a
different language.
But the change there was nothing to
hat in crossing from Gibraltar to Tan
gier. On the northern coast I left a
British fortress; on the southern
found an Arab city. In the one was the
pompous military uniform Of soldiers;
in the other, the long. sweeping barra-
car of the native.
The centuries have passed lightly
over these people, changing instead of
destroying. This barracan reminds one
Of the toga of the Romans who in the
golden age Of the Eternal City subju-
gated and occupied the African coast.
and it has doubtless been handed down
from the ~conquerors; only the toga was
made Of fine texture. while the barra-
can is of coarse cotton cloth. AS to re-
1igion. there is not much choice be-
tween the ancient mythology and the
superstitions Of these swarthy people.
At Tangier l obtained an outfit for
my journey into the desert. To travel
in such q country is a very different
matter from journeying in a Pullman
car or an ocean liner. l needed a num-
Der of camels, u considerable quantity
OF provisions, to say nothing of water.
and a lot of servants and guards. The
camels We're to carry the provisions
and water and camp equipment, con-
sisting of tents, cots, bedding and table
kit. The guards were for protection
against bandits. who infest the desert.

that of the United States. that it is a

is better for you now. Furthermore, we
won't guarantee to sell it to you tomor-
