 As absurd as it may sound. we have the word of pr. H. F. May fl i'd and Justice of the Peace C. B. Wood, who removed his cloth ing, that he had on eighteen under shirts and four pairs of long length drawers besides jumper and pair of overalls. Part of the under wear being fleece lined.
 How he lived with this amount of clothing on as long as he did is a mystery as there have been a num- Der of hot days this spring and one warmer than Saturday which was 95 degrees above.

"Coonlns" Flowers.

In our exchanges we read the annual complaints of the steal ing of flowers from front yards. Is it not a strange anomaly that a thief should love flowers, or that a lover of flowers would steal them? It has been said that the way to end the annual raiding is to have more flower gardens. Usually it is the men, or women, boys, or girls with no flowers of their own who enter door yards to gather the blooms. If they were growing a few plants of their own they would not think of stealing from others. So there is hope. The present clean up movement and the plant a flower garden movement will, in time, eliminate the flower thief. Education will overcome this evil, just as it is overcoming many oth- CTS. All the laws in the world would not be as effective in ending this annoyance as would enc little bed of flowers cultivated by the culprit. In fact. the more laws, the more piquant will seem the fun of breaking them. Many of us know what it is to coon flowers. As youngters we thought it great fun. But we know better now and it was not the law which taught us. What was it? Think it over.

Too Much Sllage tata;.

It required an autopsy to learn the cause for the dying of eight mules. part of a drove of ninety. that belong to Kay county farm CT, says the Oklahoma Live Stock News. pr. J. A. Jimmerson, the veterinarian, returned recently from the farm where he conducted the examination. The owner has fed corn silage for several months and the mules, to the eye, looked in fine condition, but recently some of them became afflicted with an unknown malady. They would get down and be unable to get up and then only when prodded and were yisibly in great pain. The only ex- ternal indication of any sickness. was the heavy throbbing of the ar teries in the throat which indicated the trouble was in the heart. fSeveraf expert veterinarians were called and postmortem examina- ton made. Vital organs were found to be one and one half times as large as normal, including the heart, spleen, liver and kidneys. l The examination showed that the stock had been oyerfed on corn silage and alfalfa, having been on this ration several months. While it is known that cattle have died from silage high in grain, this was the first time it has been fatal to equine animals.

Flies Avoid Blue.

A French scientist is authority for the statement that flies have 8 distinct objection to the color blue This was first discovered by g farmer who keeps a large number of COWS in several sheds. One oi these sheds happened to be paint ed blue on the inside, and in this the COWS were little troubled by flies. He blued the walls and thus protected all his COWS. French farmers in the vicinity are now adding blue coloring to their whitewash. Their formula is as follows. To 20 gallons of water add 10 pounds of slacked lime and l pound of ultramarine. The walls are tinted twice during the summer.

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

There never was time when preachers and politicians formed an unhnly alliance that civilization did not shriek out and Christianity cry aloud. Since the beginning of gov ernment. politicians have sought to decoy the ministry into the meshes of politics and make them carry banners in political processions. They have taken the ministry to the mountain top of power and offered to make them monarch of all they surveyed, and while most of them have said, Get thee behind me Satan a few have fallen with a crash that has shaken every pulpit In Christendom.
