A Connecticut boy-one of nine children
born in 1921. His parents were poor but
thrifty. At a very early 6 he was COM
PEELED to do such work as he could. Elk
cepting four months in the year, when at
school. he worked hard all the time. He
was Il years Of age when he went to
work for a neighbor at 81 per month and
board. At the end of the year he had
saved all the none thus earned. At the
age of q he had saved enough money to
go into the general merchandise business
with his brother. When the news of the
discovery of gold in California came,
he drew $1,000 from his business and
started west via the Isthmus of Panama.
For want of shipping facilities he. with
many others, was detained on the Isthmus
for three months. During this time he
traded in commodities n made $4,000,
to add to his original ST. 200.
He located in Sacramento and engaged
in the hardware and miners supply bust
ness. In a few years he had sufficient
capital to undertake uniting the two
coasts with a railroad.
To his untfring efforts are we indebted
for the first trans-continental railroad.
He amassed a fortune of over SO million
dollars.

HENS THAT LAID TWO EGGS
IN A DAY.

In the Poultry Raising, de-
partment Of the current issue of
Farm and F'ireside appears a little
article entitled Eggs Laid while
You Wait, in which the follow
ing account is given of hens that
lay two eggs a day:
Before the days of breeding
for intensive egg production the
feat Of laying two eggs in en-
day was counted worthy Of
special remarks. Now the bred
today hens, working on a high
pressure schedule, quite often
lay two eggs within tWenty-four
hours. In some cases one egg is
laid during the day, and one the
night following while the hen
roosts. Other more enterpris-
ing hens vii occasionally lay two
eggs IN twelve hours, or during
the daylight period.
My first actual frst-hand
knowledge Of 4 hen laying two
normal eggs in a period much
less than a day came to my at

UNCLE SANS CURE FOR
HOG CHOLERA.

In the current issue of Farm
and Fireside, the national farm
paper published at Springfield,
Ohio, Judson G. WelliVer, Wash
ington correspondent of that
publication, writes a most inter
esting article about the cure fer
hog cholera which the Depart
ment of Agriculture has diseov-
cred and is teaching to farmers.
The actual discoverer is DR..
Marion Dorset, chief of the Bio
chemic Division Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Congress
has appropriated $500. 900 for the
PRONUNCIATION of the cure this
year, and the work is going on
successfully. Of course many
farmers are skeptical and their
skeptsim is costing them money;
but DIR. Dorset is convinced
that in a short time hog cholera
will be vastly reduced in the
United States as a result of this
cure Whichsis declared to be abso-
lutely successful. He says in
part:
Il don't know how to be en-
phatic enough in urging conf
dence in the treatment. Those
of US who have seen all the ex-
periments known, know absolute
|ly, know without any doub.s,
that the thing will and does cure.
It is true that 1918 was a very
bad cholera year, but there have
Deen very much Wofse years. In
1897, which was the worst year
in the country's history, the
losses by cnolefa were lou IN
every thousand hogs. In 1877,
the worst year of the plaques,
losses We're l20 to the thousand.
Down to January /, 1914 the
ratio for 1919 had been 107 to
the thousand, and it was slow
ly falling.
Some English authorities
have attacked the serum, using
much the same arguments thar
are advanced by the doubters and
cynics his country. IF the Sc
rum is a cure. why was 1913 such
a bad cholera year?' thew de
mand. Well. the answeris easy..
there hasn't been enough serum
manufactured. from the begin
ming down to date. to cover a
patch on the whole hog territory.

THE MAN WHO MADE THE
FIRST REAPER.

In the current issue of Farm
and Fireside appears an interest
ing little article about Cyrus H.
McCormick-the man who made
the first successful reaper. He
built it as a boy without his
father's knowing it and tried it
out one fall. It was not entirely
a success but he made some
changes and tried it again.
Finally in 1881 he made his first
successful reaper. He kept on
making improvements and IN 1884
had q machine good enough to
patent. He offered them for
sale for $50 apiece but no one
would buy. Finally in 1889 he
invited a lot Of farmers to see it
work. It cut two acres an hour.
That was really wonderful in
those days but still no one would
buy it, The next year, 1910, a
man at Egypt, Virginia, bought
the first machine and paid $50
for it. It worked. and faith in
the new invention began 70

are described as enormous.
Although Russia has not yet admit
ted the fall of Lodz, an official an
nouncement contains a suggestion that
fighting in that vicinity has been Jess
in her favor than is said to be the
case in Galicia. 1t is stated that in a
battle near Piotrkow, Polish city 20
miles southeast of Lodz, I'VE were
only partially successful To the

emergency that might arise to protect

BOARD SUSPENDS
125 MORE PUPILS
High School Students at Eau

ed for Part il Strike.

Eau Claire, Wis, Dec 9-(SpeciaD
The Eau Claire school board, after
an all-night session, announced the
indefinite suspension of 125 more high
school students, as a result of the
strike of students against Principal IF.
NJ. Jack. This, with the % ordered eX-
PEELED, makes a total of $50 students
under punishment. Fifty more Joined
the strikers when the news of the
wholesale suspension became known.
The board announces its intention
of closing the high school rather than
submit to the demands of the strikers
for the apology of Mr.. Jack for his
alleged insult TO Florence Blood, 15-
year-old student. The board has re-
fused to hear a committee of parents
who want the investigation of the
strike renewed, and the parents have
appealed to the state superintendent
of public instruction to intervene.
However, he has no power to act, it is
declared.
Students held another demonstra-
ton after the formal suspension of
125 more of their number. but the pol
ice prevented their closing the school.
All the trouble has resulted from
tn charge that Principal Jack told
Miss Blood to comb her hair, instead
Of wearing it in curls to entice the
boys.
Parents of the suspended students
declare the school board investigation
was conducted in a manner offensive
to the student witnesses, who were
sworn at and called liars.
