HIS GARDEN SINKS TEN FEET
Jersey Farmer Fears He'll Have Only
Hole in the Ground

Belvidere, N. Johnston Cornish.
a farmer of Harmony township, has a
sunken garden that Is being created
by nature and he fears daily that the
bottom will drop out and leave him
with only hole in the ground.
The trouble started after storm
some days ago, when a depression
was noticed in one Of the fields plant
ed with garden truck. Steadily this
depression has grown until consid.
cradle area is affected. Now the
earth is from ten to twelve feet lower
than it was two weeks ago.
1t is thought an underground stream
Of considerable size, having its source
somewhere up in the hills, has been
slowly eating away the underlying
strata, thus allowing the surface to
sink. Examination along the Della
ware river does not indicate any new
spring breaking into it, but 1t is
thought one has broken out In the bed
of the stream.
Last winter q section of the public
highway some distance from the

no trouble has been experienced there

raise mallard ducks, pheasants and
quail next season and II their ex-
periments prove as successful as
those of people in other states. these
three varieties of game birds may
soon be as readily obtainable in the
markets as chickens, turkeys and
geese are now. From 5000 to 49,
900 eggs are to be distributed among
those who will encourage the propaga-
ton of wild life and IL the ratio Of
young birds to eggs holds true. the
refuge will be heavily stocked, while
outside of it by 1917 there should be
more birds as fair marks for sports
men than there are now under pro-
lection.
Thus, while the refuge remains a
haven wherein fowl may breed, there
will be enough game outside to keep
the huntsmen busy.
It is estimated by Frank D. Blair,
Field Superintendent of the Mime
sofa Game and Fish Protective
league, that within the prescribed
territory about 1000 mallards. from
5000 to 10000 quail and no more than
q dozen pheasants have been taking
shelter.
At the end of two seasons he be-
lieves that there will be 10000 or
10000 birds, the most marked in
crease being among the pheasants-
now very rare-which should be 5000
strong.
THE rate of increase of these wild
birds in captivity is remarkable" said
Mr.. Blair the other day. "Mallards

Matched will average roughly about

THE most serious difficulty con

They are especially susceptible to dis
eases that are communicated from

the young birds loose in the CHECKER

The Minnetonka residents who ex

Sandusky, O.-The Doric column or
main shaft of the Perry memorial at
Put-in-Bay, recently completed, has
come to be considered an important
landmark by Great Lakes region mar
liners. Visible by day from points afar.
1t serves as a guide through the
northern course, between the Cana
dian mainland and the shores of the
islands comprising the Lake Erie
archipelago, and the treacherous
south passage, between the islands
on the south and the Ohio shores. By
night its powerful lights can be seen
from almost any point in Lake Erie
between Cleveland on the east and
Toledo and Detroit on the west.
In the United States lake surveys

as located at about the middle Of
the low, narrow neck Of land forming
the southernmost shore of Put-in-Bay
island, in approximately latitude II
degrees, 80 minutes and IA seconds
north: longitude 50 degrees. 4S min

The government ofiicially describes
the shaft as "a Doric column of whit ,
granite. surmounted by bronze
tripod, and bowl containing electric
lamps which cast an indirect illu-
mination through q plate glass COW

is As feet in diameter at the base and

WHEN KENYON COMPROMISED

Years ago Senator William s.
Kenyon of Iowa was running for coun-
ty prosecutor on the Republican
ticket. His Democratic opponent had
the backing of a man who was not
only the leading Democrat in the com.
munity but also had a beauSful daugh-
ter. Kenyon was extremely fond OF
the beautiful daughter, and that made
complications. For Kenyon feared
that If her father opposed him in poll
tics he might get the habit and oppose
him in other and more serious ways.
Moreover, the daughter was one Of
the dutiful kind that shared her IA
theirs view that to vote anything but
the straight Democratic ticket was
wicked. One day when Kenyon went
to call he found the daughter in tears.
She confessed reluctantly that she had
had words with her father. It seemed
