KathOdian Bronze, Like
Humpfy Dunlpty Has a
Cr-at Fall After Leap

Did you make your fortune in
Kathodian Bronze?
Detroit brokers are grinning yet
over little piece OF Spectacular
Juggling that has been going on
the last few weeks.
About two weeks ago a hot tip
went around town 10 buy Kathodian
Bronze. Most of those who got the
tip asked the obvious question:
What the blazes Is Eathodian
Bronze?" A little investigation
showed that n company of that
name made statuary and other stan
of the kind down east somewhere
and that It's stock was sold on the
New York curb sometimes. The
stock was quoted at four then.
Some purchases were made and
the stock began TO go up. Then
there was rush. increasing as the
stock scared. Inside OF 10 days
from the circulation of the original
tip Kathodian Bronze was mp TO 10.
Then came one of those sad days
for the get-rich-quicks. Kathodian
Bronze did sky rocket tumble
that was even more spectacular
than its rise. In Just about half-an-
hour one morning the stock dropped
from 20 to l3. Almost Immediately
following that hectic half-hour De
troit brokers got positive instruc.
tions not to take orders for the
stock even though accompanied by
cash.
What was the answer? Nobody
here knows. The fellows who were
not on hand to sell out during the

Still Mrs. Bumps continued TO
hold on to the handbag and the
thief dragged her down the alley.
She was severely beaten before she

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Brother North Wind and Jack Frost Arrives.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

(Copyrign.. 1919. NJ =. q. .:oyd)
Honker the Goose had not been
many days ahead of Rough Brother
North Wind and Jack Frost. He
seldom is. All the little people of
the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows know this and so when
they heard his message. "Honk,
honk, honk, honk," those who still
had work to dc worked harder tLan
ever.
Paddy the Beaver went all over
his house very carefully putting on
fresh mud wherever IL was needed
so that when Jack Frost did arrive
he would find it all ready to be
frozen hard. Jerry Muskrat hurried

rel, scampered about faster than
ever 10 get all the nuts possible be-
fore they should be hidden under
the snow. BOBBY Coon, Unc Billy
Possum. and Buster Bear did their
best to burst their coats by stufiing
themselves with everything they
could find. They were so fat they
could hard Nabble. You see they
make storehouses OF their own
skins. Yes, indeed, those wcie busy
days.
Then one night when all was still
Jack Frost arrived. He came ST.
lently and only those who were
awake knew that he had come. They
knew because he slyly pinched them
just by way OF warning. Unc' Billy
Possum was one of these and he
didn't wait to be pinched twice. He
promptly turned back to his home
in a hollow tree and curled himself
up in his warm bed for long, long
sleep. Bobby Coon did the same
thing. Buster Bear felt sleepy, but
he wasn't quite ready to go TO bed
for the winter so ne decided TO
wait until the first heavy snow.
Paddy the Beaver watched the muI
harden on the rooI OF his house as
Jack Frost touched II, and then he
dived and with a sigh of great con-
tent slipped in at his secret door
under water and scrambled up into
his nice, warm. dry bedroom to rest.
for he had worked long and hard
and he knew that the time had
come when he could work no more
because by morning his pond would
be covered with fee.
But those who were asleep for
the night knew nothing about the
coming OF Jack Frost until the
little as they started forth and those
who run ran fast to keep warm,
and those who fly few fast for the
same reason Later in the day
Rough Brother North Wind arrived.
There was nothing silent about the
way he came. He whooped and
howled across the Green Meadows
and through the Green Forest. He
caught mp the dead leaves and
whirled them far and wide. He
shouted that all might hear:

Come to Carson
via Ti0ga Pass

A party of travellers by auto, whose
starting point was Kansas City, Mo-,
and who have been taking in Cali
fornia and the big fair, passed through
Carson this morning on their way 20
Yellowstone Park. They came over
the mountains from the Yosemite by
way Of the recently opened Tioga
road and say that for beauty of the
scenery and for good travelling on the
way the Tioga route cannot be sur
passed. :
After the climb from the other side,
they made as high as ~thirty-five
miles per hour, and experienced no
discomfort from the road. The rug
gedness Of the mountains, which have
not yet been destroyed by the invas-
ion of the white man and his AK,
could not be sufficiently praised 10y
them. When the Tioga road becomes
known to the people who have al
ready seen the route by way Of Tahoe,
it promises to become the proper
thing to take on the homeward jour
ney of the eastern tourists.

Churchill County
Has Woman Farmer

This is what a young woman of
Fallon did:
Located a homestead last year and
has a small, but fine, wheat field and
garden this year.
Now that wheat has become so inn
portant an article of export on ac-
count of the war, this young woman
Miss Martha Baumann, may justly
feel that she is helping to feed the
world.
The brush was cleared off and the
land leveled last winter and spring.
Six acres was sown to wheat, largely
as an experiment, for it was feared
that a good crop would not grow the
first year. A garden, containing a
variety OF vegetables, was also plant
ed, and this has done well. The
wheat has grown high and thick and
headed we'll and is now ready to har-
vest and the yield will be excellent.
Next year Miss Baumann plans ia
put in a much larger acreage, nov
that she hfs demonstrated that she
has first-class grain land.
Her homestead adjoins that of her
parents, with whom she lives during
the time she is permitted by Uncle
Sam to leave her farm.
She will proceed to improve her
place in other ways, making a nice
home as we'll as a profitable farm.
What Miss Baumann has done may
yet be done by other young women
of Fallon.-Churchill County Eagle.
