airing to defend her neutrality.
Japan is making ready to live up
to her alliance with Great Britain in

Soldiers Most Trying Position.

The average soldier finds the most
terrifying position to be that of stand
ing motionless in the front rank, ex-
posed to the enemys fire without be-
ing able to reply. The order to ad-
vance or to charge with fixed bayonets
is then received as a release from
agony. Movement, even into greater
peril, distracts the mind and greatly
reduces the mental anguish.

were filed with books, richly bound.
She was struck with the simplicity OF
the furnishings.
Suddenly the fire flickered into life'
and the picture hanging over the fire-
place caught her attention. 1t was OBJ
viously snapshot, enlarged but e1-
quisitely finished.
It was a picture Of a woman. her
motherhood stamped distinctly on her
beautiful face. She sat before an open
fire, the freight radiating the laugh
ter in her eyes.
At her knee stood small boy, his
bright eyes revealing the love Of his
own little soul as he smiled respons-
lively.
Suddenly she reused herself; she
had been dreaming. She was not pre-
pairing an answer for the man waiting
outside in the darkness. Denny
Brown had asked her to marry him
and she had promised her answer to-
night.
They had been running swiftly,
smoothly through the exhilarating air
of the suburbs in Denny's car. Sud-
denly something had gone wrong II
had happened at the very moment
when she should have been answering
Denny.
He had brought her to this bunga-
low, asking permission for her to
wait there.
He had telephoned to q neighboring
garage for Q man. They were now re-
pairing the machine. In a few mo-
ments he would return for her.
How strongly at this moment all
Denny could give her appealed to her!
She was 30 tired-so nervously tired
OF her own life.
But the other man! Somehow Denny
had guessed that the other man had
been something to her. For tonight
he had told her, quietly, that the other
man had failed again. Unconsciously,
she had been waiting for the other
man" to win success.
A mans step sounded on the veran.
da-Denny had come for her and her
answer was not ready. She heard the
click Of the telephone receiver in the
hall. A mans voice-not Denny's-
called Woodstock, N. H., on the long.
distance.
It was Phil Berkley-the other man!
She was waiting in his bungalow-to-
night of all nights, but she had to
listen.
Hello, that you Mater?"
"Oh, Tm-I'm all right.
"Yes-a bit blue tonight, how did
you know"

"I hate to tell you, mamsy; but it's
another failure
mo, I'm going to try again. Third
times trying, you know"
You're 80 comforting, Mamsy, yes
I'll succeed-some day."

-"
Eyes, there's just the understanding
between us. Yet I trust her to wait.

dreamed it all"
@"
"Good-night, dearest
-"
In a moment the man would ring
off. She must either hide or run. BY
the light of the fame she saw door
leading from the room to the We.
randa.
Rising quickly, she stepped softly
across the room and out onto the We
| randa.
Stumbling over the low steps, she
ran breathlessly across the damp lawn
toward the lights shining dimly In
| the road.
Pausing within the shelter Of the
shrubbery, she called softly, Den

The man left the machine and came
quickly to the lawn.

now? Send the man with the car to
the garage. I want to go now"

GREEN CUT BONE is
RELISHED BY FOWLS
1t Contains All Elements Found
in Egg From Shell to Center
Saves Grain Bill.

Some years ago a certain poultry
Keeper wrote of his success with green
cut bone in a flock of laying hens. All
the extra care this flock got was to
see that they got all the extra green
cut bone they could eat every day.
Laying was heavy, cockerels and hens
grew heavy; it saved other feed. When
next l heard that flock had gone to
smash after couple Of years, says a
writer in Twentieth Century Farmer.
Too much pushing, too much green
bone. You cannot give hens all they
will eat of fresh meat, for green cut
bone is certainly fresh meat and fresh
bone mixed. A few years ago every
poultry writer was experimenting
with green cut bone and giving re-
suits; then the enthusiasm over green
cut bone died out. And yet there is
much to the. adyisability of feeding
green cut bone in moderation each
day in certain amounts if you can get
it fresh, as it contains all the elements
found in the egg from shell to center,
while often much of the other animal
matter fed for eggs contains moth
ing of some of the egg elements and
these must be supplied in other foods.
An ounce of green bone each day is
enough for laying hen. 1t must be
fresh; to feed it tainted means sick
ness in the flock, and soon worse. A
bone cutter is a necessity where win
ter eggs are furnished in large num-
bers for market; or, if handy to a
meat market, the butcher often dis
poses of his green bone scraps, ready
cut or shaved. and at low prices. An
ounce of green cut bone day for
each hen saves just that much on
the grain bill.

NOTHING NEW IN JOKE LINE
Insist That This "Has Never
Been Sprung Before"

A reader of the Docket in New York
city cut out the item relating to the
dissolution of partnership. in which
one partner makes the statement that
those who owe the firm will settle
with him, and those that the firm owes
will settle with Nose" and sends 1t
back to us with this notation: This
was an old chestnut when | lived in

To this charge we enter a plea of
confession and avoidance. We con-
tend that the courts viii take judicial
notice of the fact that there is nothing
new under the sun, and in our judg-
ment the jokesmith is well within
his rights in resurrecting a joke
which was old in 1855.
The incident brings to mind the fol-
lowing story: THE editor of Mime
sofa newspaper back in the sos con-
eocted the following: 'Yon Yonson put
four sticks of dynamite in the stove
last Sunday TO thaw them out. The
handles were nickel plated and only
cost Sl0.'" A professor of English
h'NA AANAo III al 0dSleTh university
wrote very Interesting article on
this joke, claiming that it represented
distinctly American brand of humor.
and that II could not have happened
in any other country or at any other
time.
But alas for the professor of Eng
fish literature--for there is nothing
new under the sun. Reference to II
Chronicles, Chapter f6, Verses 70 and
Is, produces the following:

cleared, one chapter of the war was

ACCOUNTS FOR OLD LEGEND

Golden Fleece.
LTO BE CONTINUEDl

In the legend of the Golden Fleece
lies hidden the record of an ancient
method of the Tibareni, the sons Of
Tubal, for the collection of gold The
north coast of Asia Minor produced
large quantities of the precious metals,

amounts of the precious metal, ac-

sometimes forms placers of astonish-
ing richness.
The ancient Tibareni washed the
gold-bearing gravel first by booming.
which concentrated the gold into rela-
lively small amounts of sand. This
was then collected and washed through
sluiees having the bottoms lined with
sheepskins. The gold would sink into
the wool, while the sand would be
washed away in the swift current.
The skins were removed from the
sluices, the coarsest gold shaken out,
and the fieeces, still glittering with
the yellow metal, were hung upon
boughs to dry so that the rest of the
gold might be beaten from them. and

Amount Of Feed.

A cow should have enough feed to
satisfy her appetite, the proportion of
coarse feed to grain being adjusted to
her actual needs. In general way,
roughage should be fed according to
her size, allowing two pounds hay per
100 pounds weight, when hay is the
only roughage fed. When silage is
used, feed one pound hay and three
pounds silage for 100 pounds weight.
and the balance of needed feed should
be supplied in concentrates. Roots
may be fed for grain at the rate Of
ten pounds Of one.

CHOLERA OUTBREAKS
IN THE NORTHWEST
Where Disease Has Not Yet Ap-
peared 1t Is Possible to Pre-
vent Its Introduction.
By J. w. KALKUs. Washington Expert

By J. w. KALKUs. Washington Expert
ment Station)
During the last year there has been
a comparatively large number of hog
cholera outbreaks in the northwest.
The condition, of course, will continue
to increase unless every hog owner
does his utmost to suppress it. Where
the disease has not yet occurred 1T is
possible to prevent its introduction
The disease is due to infection, and
is usually introduced by new hogs from
infected regions being added to the
herd the infection may also be car
ried on the clothing of human beings,
by birds, dogs, coyotes and in streams.
The disease is usually recognized by
the fact that the hogs begin dying
suddenly and rapidly.
When an outbreak occurs it is we'll
to imme diately call veterinarian, pre-
feraDly one who is employed for this
purpose by the state. If the disease
proves to be cholera it is advisable to
Immediately separate the well hogs
from the sick ones, and isolate them as
completely as possible. All carcasses
SHOULD be burned or deeply buried and
covered with quicklime All pens,
houses, utensils and feeding troughs
should be thoroughly disinfected with
one part crude carbolic acid to thirty
parts of water
There is at the present time on the
market serum which, if properly
made and injected, saves a large per-
centage of both the well and sick hogs,
and if the serum can be obtained it is
highly recommended. 1t should be
administered by a competent veteri-
marian.
