Leon LIE wandowski, young man

Pete A. Stone. his only brother,
whom be had not seen for q years,
and who was in Iron River when he
heard from HIM last about Is years
ago.

Miss Julia O'Brien, clerk, at Dan
Cummings grocery store. had an ex-
perience Tuesday noon that she will
not soon forget.
She had occasion to wait on a
customer during the forenoon who
wanted to purchase some bananas
and it seems that a tarantula which
was hidden in the bunch of bananas
got upon her clothing unnoticed by
her and at the noon hour Miss o.
Briep changed her shirt waist al
her home and much to her surprise
tarantula, which had hidden be-
tween her outside waist and under.
clothing, jumped out upon the
dresser. You may imagine that
there was lively time in the o.
Brien home for few minutes. The
tarantula was pretty we'll grown
and about as lively proposition
cricket, for it scampered about
and it took some effort to capture
the unwelcome guest.

Lincoln, johnson and Hayes. and son
Of the late Secretary of State William

Four years later he figured in an
other stirring incident. After the as

a messenger with medicine for the ell

sanity trial. Justice Hendrick of the
supreme court today handed down q
decision granting the slayer of Stan.
ford White a hearing to determine

has taken previous defeats, smiling
when the court handed down the de-
cision. which was a long one, going
fully into the merits Of the case.

cause of reports that efforts would be
made to rescue him from the authori-
ties if the decision was against him.
Thaw's lawyers declared the de-
cision assured Thaw his freedom, AS

Farmers of Missouri Prosperous
as Class,

The prosperity Of farmers as class
was again shown by Secretary Hous-
tons summary Of what American
farmers have done during 1914. The
products OF the farm last year show.
ed a combined value of nearly ten
billion dollars. This dazzling array
OF figures is found in the value Of all
farm crops, farm animal products and
farm animals (sold and slaughtered)
totaling 1873 millions d. dollars, So
millions more than grand total for
1919. Taking these figures at face
value, it is possible to draw some in
teresting deductions.
In the last federal census there was
6, 1862, 600 farms; applying this to Mr..
Houston's aggregate, this shows an
average value Of 1852 for each farm
Of all products. II is difficult to de-
termine Just how much Of the grand
total production has been counted
twice, first in the way Of crops and
second in the way Of meat animals,
ETC., into which portions Of these
crops have been converted. But al
lowing something the figures still
make a strong point for agriculture.
The handsome figures of output of
the farms clearly emphasizes the
relatively great Importance of the
farming proposition. This is true,
applied either to the matter of wages
per capita or to the outturn Of manu-
lecturers in the urban population.

Arizona.

Many claims are being recorded and mining operations are active in the Patagonia district.
 At Miami the Inspiration Consoli. dated Copper Company will start to store its concentrates this month.
 While no definite information can be secured, every indication points to the building and early operation of a smelter in Benson.
 When the first eight cars of ore from the Shattuck-Arizona mine reached the c. & A. smelter at Doug las there were evidences of increased activity around the big plant which gave promise of better times for Douglas
 The signs of better times, from a Bisbee standpoint. are in evidence. Shattuck's resumption of production and the shipment of ore to the Doug las smelter has given a considerable impetus to business conditions and promises additional features in the very near future.

h Gorqeous Raiment.

A love of gorgeous raiment. such as characterized NJ. Emile verhaeren in his youth, has been common to many famous writers. Disraeli as a young man startled the town by an evening dress comprising green velvet trousers, a canary-colored waistcoat, and a coat with lace cuffs. Dickens. likewise, was fond of a certain bright green waist. coat which he wore in accompani ment with . vivid scarlet tie. and he turned up at Frith's studio one day in a sky-blue overcoat with red cuffs. Even more fearful and wonderful was Dumas appearance at an ambassa- dor's reception in "a shirt on which were depicted a number of little red demons disporting themselves amid flames of yellow fire" My costume was a great success" he wrote; everyone thronged round and made much of ne."--London Chronicle.

the girders. Considerable weight comes on these posts, and for this req son the piers should have ample bases and be set down well in the ground tc prevent settling.
 A now as big as this, when filled, settled and refilled, contains a heavy weight of fodder. the main part of which rests on these center supports.
 The COW stable is made airtight ex. cept at the doors, and these are fitted as close as possible. An airtight sta ble is an uncomfortable place unless it is thoroughly well ventilated by a ventilating system that works under all conditions of weather. Alright stables are built for the purpose of keeping COWS comfortable in cold weather, so they can benefit by the feeding of carefully compounded ra- tions, worked out under the most ap' proved feeding systems.
 This plan provides foul-air shafts to take the devitalized air from near the floor behind the COWS and to carry it up to be disposed of by the metal ven. tilators on the roof. Fresh air from outdoors is supplied to the COWS by in. take shafts that enter the building just above the concrete wall. From here the fresh air is carried to the ceiling and let out over the COWS in such a way as to prevent a draft, so the fresh air from outdoors mixes with the stable air, which becomes heavier as it loads up with impurities, so that it settles to the floor and is carried of as above mentioned.
 In the horse stable there are two ventilating fiues to carry of the foul air. but fresh air is admitted into this end of the barn through various doors and windows.
 The general plan of both stables is the same. The center feed alley and the two manure alleys extend clear through the building and have outle, doors at the four corners. There is a partition to divide the horse depart ment from the COW stable. and there are sliding doors in the partitions which are closed or left open as needed.
 The construction of the founoatiou wall of this stable is little different from the ordinary, because it is car ried up four feet above grade. With this construction the windows are
