ordered from the factory and it was
not until yesterday morning that the
machine was able to work. Since
then they have been enjoying good
luck and the sewer has now been laid

machine is doing good work and un-
less some unforeseen troubles arise.

THEFT TAKES MONEY FROM
HOTEL

Some light fingered individual stole
$50 some dollars in money and a
check for $22.75 from Mrs. VIM.
Delahoyde at the Arlington hotel
last Sunday evening. AS soon as
Mrs. Delahoyde discovered her loss
she at once notified the sheriff, but
up to the present time no clue has
been found. The check was drawn
on the First National Bank of Coun-
Gil Bluffs on which payment was
stopped, and on this she will prob
ably realize the full amount. The
loss is quite burden to the aged
lady who has struggled hard to ac-
.cumulate enough to make comfort
able living and no man with an ounce
of manhood would commit an offense
of this kind.
Mrs. Delahoyde thinks she knows
who the guilty party is, but having
no positive evidence she is powerless
to prosecute.

MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS
BORN DURING WAR TIMES

London, Dec l6.-In the birth col
mns of one of the London newspa-
pcrs three-fourths of the births an
nounced are of the male sex, accord
ing to correspondent who puts forth
the theory that there are more boys
than girls born during war times.
The registrar generals department
however. does not encourage this
theory. rs on being questioned on
the subject. the following statement
was elected:
After the only great war the ma
tion has waged since accurate statis-
tics have been recorded, the Crimea,
there was no marked increase in the
proportion of boys. The excess of
boys over girls during the years 1851
to 1860. which included the war, was
less in fact than during the previous
ten years"

Home Talent Movies at Royal.

The home talent movies were shown
at the Palace yesterday, and once
more the house was taxed to its utter
most to accommodate the crowds.
In fact, for over an hour during the
evening it was impossible to secure
a seat. Everyone enjoyed the local
talent movies and with a feature pic
ture and vaudeville, it made up a
very good program, which is the kind
that can always be found at the Pal
ace.
In order that all may see the home
talent movies, they will be shown at
the Royal today.
This is Fox day at the Palace, and
one OF Americas greatest Legitimate
actors makes his debut under the
Fox banner, in The Blindness of De
votion." Robert b. Mantell is the
actor referred to and that he will
make as big a success in motion pic
lures as he did on the stage goes
without saying See this latest Fox
feature. It is a good one.

will have to keep a close watch on
the Roumanian side, not only be-
cause of the danger of that country
entering the war against them, but
to meet the threat of a Russian in
vasion through Roumania, which, al
though nothing has been said of it
recently, has not been lost sight of.
Wherever the Germans move, they
will find the entente allies prepared.
Saloniki is being made stronger daily
and has the backing of warships, as
also has the Gallipoli peninsula,
where the entente positions likewise
have been strengthened. The Rus
slams are believed by the military
authorities to be able to cope with
any army the Teutonic forces can col
lect on the Roumanian border, while
Egypt, which is said to be another
of their detectives, has been placed
in state of defense.
There are many persons who doubt
that the Germans purpose to Fest on
their laurels in the near east for
the time being and make a bid for
victories on the western front. Per-
sistent reports come from Holland of
the concentration of German armies
in Belgium and Luxembourg with the
intention of striking blow as soon
as the ground permits. At the pres
ent moment, the greater part of the
country is a sea of mud The reported
concentration of Germans doubtless
accounts for the many air raids which
the entente allies are making behind
the German lines in an effort to upset
the movement of troops and destroy
shelters, camps and the supplies of
munitions which are necessary for
an offensive.

South American Industry,

The sap of the sapodilla tree is
very largely used in the manufacture
of chewing gum. The tree is culti-
waited in Mexico and Central America,
and the method of collecting the sap,
called 'chicle," is very similar to that
employed in extracting maple sugar.
Mexico alone in 1910 exported chicle
valued at $4,000, which will give
you a good idea of the extent of the
chewing gum industry.

The work in every county in the

ing something new to help the

set forth in one Of the money bull
letins:
"The school house pig is a
new and popular phase Of the ex-
tension of pig production in Geor-
gia. A patron of the school gives
a shoat or pig to the pupils. The
big boys build pen in the shade
on the school house grounds. The

bed. Others build a shelter over
the corner of the pen and con
struct a feed trough.
The girls, for surely the girls
are interested, collect all the
scraps from the lunch baskets at
noon and fed them to the pig.
The pupils also bring to school,
occasionally an ear Of corn for
their pet pig. On Saturdays and
Sundays a boy living near the
school does the feeding.
Some of the schools barbecue
the pig at the end of the year,
others hold an auction, and with
the money buy library books or
something for the school room.
Care must be exercised that
the school pig is not overfed. At
one place in Georgia he was
foundered twice in one week. At
another school the patrons won
dered what was wrong. The
children came home at night hol-
low to their heels and toted
away in their dinner baskets each
morning enough food to gorge a
hungry harvest hand. In time
they discovered that a pig in
pen on the school house grounds
was rapidly growing as large one
way as the other.
The school house pig is getting
the farm boy and the farm girl
used to the idea of making the pig
a part of the daily home life on
the farm. Before many wears the
boys and girls who are now feed
