EAGLE FIGHTS FOR YOUNG
Superior DeadIiness Of the "Female
of the Species" Is Demonstrated
in California.

MERGED, Cal.-William Bancroft and
Manuel Thomas returned from Pleas
ant Valley converted to Kipling's
theory Of the superior deadliness Of
"the female of the species" after hav.
ing a terrific fight with a mother eagle
for an hour and half.
The two men scaled an oak tree to
examine an aerie and found the whole
family, father and mother eagle and
two eaglets, at home. After shooting
and killing the male in self-protection,
Thomas joined forces with Bancroft
against the beak and talon attack of
the Infatuated mother bird.
After an exhausting conflict they
managed to grab her by the neck and
pull her talons from the flesh Of Bar
croft's arms, which are very much cut
and scratched.
Fearing to release the bird and risk
another encounter, the men brought
the eagle and her young ones to town
for exhibition.

the boy on the farm. The government
planned well. The idea has resulted
in revolutionizing agriculture.
"This is what caused me to appeal
to the boys in the interest Of good
roads. Ny plan is to have every rural
school lay out a stretch of good road,
from a quarter to half mile in length,
leading from the schoolhouse, to plant
fruit trees on either side and to i'm
prove the road. l believe that one
such piece of model road in each COM
munity will arouse so much interest
and so much pride that communities
will vie with each other in road i'm.
provement.
"In this manner, having the hearty
cooperation of the state superintend'
ent of public instruction, an educa.
tional campaign can be started in the
schools of our state that in time will
become a most important factor and
be the means of perfecting the consoli
dated rural school system throughout
the state. l sincerely believe that as
much interest can be aroused, and as
many benefits be brought to the young
people as are coming to them through
the statewide movement of the or
ganization of clubs to promote the
growing of corn. The two movements
will at least harmonic, and neither
will be in the way of the other
"The plan, as now outlined, is to or
ganize a good road and tree-planting
club in every rural school in the state,
have the county or the state highway
engineer visit the schools, following
the organization of the clubs, and pro.
coed to lay out one-fourth or one-halt
mile of road leading from the school,
house. In every instance the school
club shall assist in the survey, the
laying out of the road, in securing the
easements from the abutting property
owners. The club boys shall carry the
chain, set the grade stakes, the drain
age stakes, learn just how plans and
profits are made, and be taught that
this piece of good road will be used
for generations to come.
"The club members shall be included,
while the road is actually being built
when it is properly drained, graded
and crowned, how culverts are placed;
what the size of culverts should be-
according to the topography of the sur
rounding country After the road is
completed it can &c kept UP through
the use of a light wooden drag at q
nominal cost, and this work should
also be done by the boy club mem
bers."

ROAD BUILDING IN OKLAHOMA

The good road educational move

plan by Col. Sidney Suggs of Ard

Farm and Home Improvement.

Nothing adds to the comforts
and conveniences OF home more
than a modern lighting system,
with the cooking features added.
Light and cook with acetyIene gas
cheaper than coal oil, as handy
as electric, always ready and
safer than either, doesn't quit at
midnight.) Acetylene gas, as
made by a modern generator, is
the ideal method of home light
ing; acetylene gas, made from car
bide and carbide made from lime
and coke (therefore healthy in
stead of like city gas, poisonous)
This carbide, when exposed to
water acts like lime-lets off a
gas that is termed acetylene.
The modern generator, to be con-
tiniousIy successful, must have a
way to clean and purify this gas,
automatic in It's operation, opera
ting without attention and max
ing gas only as used. The fact
that carbide will make this gas
when exposed to water has caused
several otherwise tin shops to
style themselves generator manu-
facturers and offer cheap, rudely
CONSTRUCTED machines for this pur-
pose. National board Of under
writers and the manufacturers
compliance with their rules are
one method of distinguishing
them. One very essential feature
of any machine is its reserve feed,
saved to prevent your having to
fill your machine at night. The
cheap machines only notify you
by your lights going out. MOI
only its economy, but the actual
light itself should appeal to you
Acetylene light is the nearest vel
to sunlight. When you consider
the purchase Of a plant be sure
of the above features and you vii
have a home comfort for years
from a nominal investment. A
good idea is to try out the manu-
facturer's own confidence IN
plant. Ask not only for guaran
tee, but ask permission to try i
out in your own home. Ask TO
terms Of from one to two year
without any cash payment. AN
cheap machine will last a fey
months until the pipes begin t
