Private Blank was known to all his
chums as "the early bird probably
because it was an exact description
Of the very opposite to what he real
ly was, for ''the early bird was al
ways late, the last man to get out OF
bed at reyeille and the last man on
parade. and when his regiment sailed
for France his chums declared that
he was the last into the transport
ship and the last out Of it.
When his regiment was doing its
spell in the trenches "the early bird
was sent for by his officer, and as he
was creeping along the trench to-
wards the dugout stray bullet caught
him in the shoulder, just as he was
outside his officers shelter.
After seeing that he wasn't serl-
ously wounded, the officer explained,
with twinkle in his eye, eff you had
just been a second earlier you would
have missed that"
"I would, sir" returned Private
Blank, cor If 1 had been second Ia
ter it would have missed melon

WASTED A LOT OF TOUCHING
Perspirinq, Stout Individual Discovers
He Has Squandered Energy in
Pushing Elevator Buttons.

On the eighth floor of one of Salt
Lakes Office buildings stout man
raced perspiringly the circuit of the
signal buttons of the four elevators.
"Why touch them all?" asked thin
man.
Because I want to catch the first
car down." answered the stout one de-
terminedly, the while he mopped his
brow and waited with a confident ex-
preston of having corralled the serv-
Ice.
"But the touching of any Of the
four buttons signals the first elevator
going down" protested the cadaverous
man. ''Is that not right?" he asked
the elevator boy as they stepped
aboard a car. The youth answered
in the affirmative upon hearing an ex-
PLANTATION of the question.
WELL" said the stout party, tive
sure been wasting q lot of button
touching. Salt Lake Tribune.

One day Jones was rambling along

his friend Smith. While talking about
war, crops and mosquitoes, Jones no
ticed that Smith continually rubbed
the palm of his hand.
What in the world is the matter
with your hand?" he finally demanded.

BEST is best, and best will ever
live" When a person feels this way

testimony for the benefit of others.
A school teacher down in Miss. says:
Il had been coffee drinker since my
childhood, and the last few years il
had injured me seriously.
"One cup of coffee taken at break
fast would cause me to become so
nervous that l could scarcely go
through with the days duties, and this
nervousness was often accompanied
by deep depression of spirits and neart
palpitation.
Il am a teacher by profession, and
when under the influence of coffee had
to struggle against crossness when in
the school room.
When talking this over with my
physician, he suggested that / try
Postum, so l purchased package and
made it carefully according to direc-
tons; found it excellent of favour,
and nourishing.
In a short time I noticed very graft
lying eHects. MY nervousness disap-
peared, | was not irritated by my pu-
pills, life seemed full of sunshine, and
my heart troubled me no longer.
Il attribute my change in health and
spirits to Postum alone.'

Badger state Game Law.

Badger State Game Law.
Wisconsin's recent gamelaw addl
ton, prohibiting the, shipment OF game
under an alias, is recorded among
the novel features of various game
laws enacted in 1915. The de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton, d. c., which is interested in laws
affecting migratory birds of the con-
tinent, is the authority for saying that
the recent movement in favor OF
stricter game legislation has resulted
in 240 new game laws, all enacted IN
1915.
Forty-three states held regular leg
islative sessions, and in all OF these
states except Arizona, Nebraska and
Georgia some changes were made IN
the statutes protecting game. The
largest number of game laws is to be
found on the books of North Carolina,
where sixty-one were enacted; but
Wisconsin, Maine, California, Connec-
ticut, Oregon and Pennsylvania wrote
ten each, or more. In addition, several
game laws were vetoed, including
general game bill in Idaho; bill ap-
propriating the hunting license fund
in Pennsylvania; a bill protecting
bears in California and three sections
of game bill in Washington.
In several states bills were intro
duced to harmonic the state game
laws with the federal restrictions on
the subject of migratory birds, and in
nine states the United States laws
and the local game regulations were
made to conform fairly satisfactorily
These states are California, Connect
cut, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire,
Tennessee. Uniformity was also Sc
cured by provisions in the laws OF
Wisconsin. Connecticut, Maine, New
Mexico, North Dakota and Washing
ton, prohibiting hunting between sun
set and sunrise.
Close seasons extending for several
years were provided for certain kinds
of big game and also for game birds.
Moose are protected until 1919 in
Maine, the first absolute closed sea-
son for thirty-five years. The last
time was complete suspension OF
hunting from 1873 to 1880.
Antelope have been given indefinite
protection in New Mexico and Mon
tana and prairie chickens have been
put on the blacklist for hunters for
several years in Michigan, New Mex
leo and Oklahoma. Michigan hunters
for the next five years will not be al
lowed to shoot quail, imported pleas
ants, grouse or wood duck Minnesota
has protected plover, doves, wood
cock and wood ducks for three years.
New Mexico has given protection to
pheasants. bobwhites. swans and
pigeons. Oklahoma has given protec-
tion to doves, curlew and woOdcock.
For the first time in twelve years
moose hunting was permitted in
Wyoming and for the first time since
1907 prairie chicken was permitted in
Indiana.
In addition to the Wisconsin law
against shipping game by an alias.
novel features in state game laws in
clude the declaration in the Florida
law that ownership of game is vested
in the respective counties of the state.
California protects spiked bucks, or
deer with unbranched horns. instead
of specifying horns of certain length.
Wyoming will try the experiment of
allowing the killing of fifty bull moose
under 500 licenses instead Of an in
definite number during limited sea-
son.

OF the 6,327 Miles Shown by the
State Commission, 1922 Miles of
Highways Are Designated
as First Glass.

Madison.-A study of Wisconsin
highways, showing their development.
has just been outlined by the Wiscon-
sin highway commission on a map OF
the state, which constituted a part OF
the Wisconsin exhibit at the good
roads congress last week at Cedar
Rapids, la. 1t shows the state already
well covered with highways more or
less improved under the operation of
the state aid law, 1,422 miles of what
is designated as first-class highways.
1850 miles of second-class, 1890 miles
of third-cless, and 2,163 miles of
fourth-class.
Of particular interest are the first
class roads, as they are primarily the
main lines of travel and eventually
are to become important in the state
iystems. Following these lines one
may get fair idea of the comprehen-
siveness of the system.
Starting at the southeast corner of
the state at the Illinois boundary, the
highway from Chicago. which follows
up the lake shore, through Kenosha,
Racine, Milwaukee and on northward
to Manitowoc. then across to Green
Bay and continuing to the Michigan
boundary at Marinette.
Another line enters from Illinois in
Walworth county, running through
GAINESVILLE to Madison and then on
north through Necedah, Junction City,
Wausau, Merrill and almost directly
north to the Michigan boundary at
Hurley.
From Baraboo route lies northwest
to La Crosse and from there north
through Eau Claire, Cameron and tn
the Zenith city across the border from
Superior
Another line runs west from Mad
ison to the Mississippi river at Prairie
du CHEN. Another west from Eau
Claire to Hudson, just across the line
from the Twin Cities.
Connecting the lake shore with the
northwest is a line from Cedarburg
through Fond du Lac, Oshkosh. Wau-
paca, Stevens Point, Marshfield to
Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire.
Madison is again connected with
the lake shore region by route via
Columbus, Beaver Dam, Waupun, Fond
du Lac to Sheboygan. Another line
from Madison runs through Water
town, Oconomowoc to Milwaukee. An
other short line from Green Bay to
Oshkosh connects with the west via
the Cedarburg- Eau Claire route.
Connecting these main lines are the
highways designated as second, third
and fourth-class, many of which have
been given more or less attention in
the way of development
The designation of the main lines
above noted as first-class does not sig
Nifty that the entire routes are in a
high state of development or that
even they are perfectly continuous at
an average stage of good roads con-
struction.
