Henry Won Schenck Contemplating
A Trip to Germany to Look A.
..... ter. An Inheritance.
Henry Won Schenck came down
from Bowbells, N. Dak., recently to
visit his old home in this county, for
a short time, and to consult regarding
the immense fortune which he be-
lieves he has inherited in Hessia,
Germany. His father, Adolphus A.
Schenck, an early settler of Irving
and Green Lake, was baronet's son
who left home account of some fami-
ly difficulty. Henry claims that his
brother, William, who lives at Eagle
Bend has some papers which will es-
tablish their claims to the estate. Hen.
ry does not anticipate any trouble in
reaching Germany should he decide
to make a trip there before the war
ends, as his rights as a native born
American citizen would protect him
from the British. 1t is big contract
that Won Schenck undertakes If he
goes to rush the British lines, collect
his fortune in the Kaiser's domain
and return with his treasures to the
Land of the Free.

Cream, Butter and Yellow.

Scientific experiments have demon
strated that, contrary to the general
belief. the yellow color Of cream and
butter is not necessarily an indication
of their richness. 1t was discovered
long ago that most vegetable matter
contains yellow substance called
''carrotin" because it exists abundant
~ in carrots. 1t is this substance
contained in the cows feed that gives
rise to the color of milk and butter.
Carrotin is most abundant in the green
forage available in spring and summer,
so that milk and butter produced then
are more yellow than in the winter. al
though the percentage of fat in winter
milk often is higher than in the rich
looking product obtained in summer.

Rattleshin Masta.

There is most excellent reason for
the peculiar construction Of open work
masts in the United States battleships.
The reason is found in the fact of their
superior efficiency. They can be shot
away to the tune Of about three -fourths
Of their original material and still hold,
whereas the solid mast is liable to be
completely shot away, and that in short
order.-New York American.
