Overhanglng the sea, stllt-legged villages
with wonderful temples, black marshes
full of crocodiles and crabs.
Instead saw only group of islands of
moderate size and height, cut through by
calm dark straits. There were no villages,
no houses, no rivers, no canoes; just that
smear of dusky, lonely islands lying on
darkening sea. The mainland was not yet
in sight All the land we saw was hidden
under blanket of black forest, that
swept from the SUBMITS of the hills down
to the lip of the water. We heard no
sound but the beating of the ships steel
heart, echoed back by the walls of the
strait as she ran through. We saw no
lights on the black, furry blanket of forest,
untouched, unbroken.
If there was any living thing upon those
islands, it hid itself well. We listened to
the silence of New Guinea, we smelled
its mystery. For there was new smell
on the sea air-subtle, cold, the sunset
smell Of Papua.

Her lips have blood on them, but you'll

As he spoke, breath of air crept across
the bows, so cold, so penetrating, that it
made me shudder in my thin, heat-soaked
drill.
"Get your coat, said Gore. you'll be
down with fever if you don't. We're
passing the great snow mountains of
Dutch Guinea. You couldn't see them

the interior. Get your coat, and we'll

GOOD RESULTS FROM
JERSEY COWS AT STORRS.
Told of Before State Meeting of Jer-
sey Breeders Association.

W. D. Dayton of Green's Farms was
elected president of the Jersey
Breeders association at the annual
meeting held Wednesday at Hartford.
ident, E. r. Downs, Southington; sec
rotary and treasurer, G. H. Savage,
Storrs; directors for two years, Fred
E. Duffy, West Hartford; F. J.
Baldwin, Watertown; T. M. Savage,
Berlin and A. E. Latimer, Southington.
Following the election of officers a
short talk was given by Professor H.
F. Judkin of Storrs. He was present
as a visitor and did not expect to be
called upon. Therefore his talk was
eXtemporaneous. His remarks, how
ever, were pointed and greatly appre-
eiated by the Jersey cattle breeders,
for they touvhed many things thta
are believed to be problems and de-
velopments in the raising of Jersey
cattle for dairy purposes. He said:
I'VE have two Jerseys at Storrs
now, and are getting very good re-
suits from them, as experimental OBJ
jects. Their milk is UP to the average
and the cream tests up to standard.
We hope to have a large barn at the
college soon and if we do, we will
need four or five good head Of Jersey
stock for breeding and experimental
purposes.
ct seems to be the desire of dairy
men in this state to know the score
scoring exhibits four times each year,
and to have list of questions sent
out to be returned, answered with
the sample to be scored. The object
is to raise the standard of market
milk and hence to secure the highest
prices for. the product. according to
it's food value. We may run the first
exhibit about July 1.
'1t will be an easy matter to get
your samples to the college, just send
ing them by express will keep the
samples in cold storage. It is care
lessness that makes dirt and bacteria
in milk, and this exhibition will help
to show the proper way to make clean
milk"

BOXMILLS TO RUN ALL
W|NTERON WAR ORDERS
All the Mills in Upper Wenatchee Valley
Have Box Orders that Will Keep
Them Busy for Months

The LID. Lumber Company has
enough orders booked to keep their
mill running thru the winter, This is
also true OF the Leavenworth Lumber
Co. and the Peshastin Lumber Co.
Who the boxes are for or what use is
to be made OF them they will not tell,
if they even know, but from the size
and heavy material to be used in their
making, we have reached the conclu-
sion that they are to be used in boxing
war material of some kind-intended
for the fighting nations of Europe. The
first orders for this character of boxes
came in last week, but they have been
coming in since in increasing quanti-
ties. Whether they are to be used for
packing high explosives, shells, food or
clothing, there is no way Of telling.
These facts are never given out. Since
so many OF those factories that are en-
gagged in making material of some kind
for the warning nations have had strikes
and lockouts, it is not improbable that
we may have some Of the same expert
ence here.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1915-11-12

Did you ever think how many male
and female ancestors were required to
bring you into the world? First, it was
necessary that you should have father
and.mother; that makes two beings.
Each OF them must have had father
and mother; that makes four more.
Again, each of them must have had a
father and mother, making eight more
human beings. So on we go to the
time OF Jesus Christ, Sc generations,
the calculations thus resulting shows
that 13o, ,235.017, ,489, ,534,o76 births
must have taken place to bring you
into this world. All this since the birth
of Christ-not since the beginning Of
time. According to Proctor, if from
single pair for 5000 years each husband
and wife had married at 81 years OF
age and there had been no deaths the
population of the earth would be
2,1oo,o15 followed by 144 ciphers. 1t
would require to hold this population a
number OF worlds the size Of this earth
equal to 3,166,526 followed by 125
ciphers. The human mind shrinks in
contemplating such immense numbers.
