Listen, Mother.

Just look around the house,
down in the cellar, up in the at
tic, out in the yard, in the stable
or loft-everywhere-and see
how many things, useless to you
and yours, are lying about, clut-
tering up the place.
Every apparently useless ar
ticle is worth money-hard, spot
cash.
There is more stuff-cast off
or unused around most houses
than would, if sold, clothe one or
two persons for a year.
Make a tour of the house.
Make out a list of the things you
do not want and never will want.
Mark down the very lowest cash
price you will take for the things.
Add up the figures and the total
will surprise you.
Now to turn these useless
Things into money for yourself:
Fix up little ad something
like this:
For Sale:-Second-hand heat
ing stove, bureau, bedstead,
churn, three upholstered chairs,
quantity of clothing, several bags
of rags, etc, etc."
Send the ad to us. 1t will cost
one cent a word to put it in the
paper once, or two cents a word
for two times.
Just for fun take that trip
around the place and see what a
lot of things you can turn into
money, then sign your name, and
tell where you live.

Last week many fires occurred
in the state forests; 1000 acres
burned in Cumberland county.
Four or five hundred acres were
burned over along Licking creek
in this county. In most instan-
ces, the fires originated in burn
ing brush heaps. Fortunately, a
heavy rain put out the fires.
Frank Miller, a tenant farmer
living near Marks, Franklin coun-
ty, aged about fifty years, went
out near the barn and pens last
Thursday morning to shoot rats.
Some of the family heard the
shot and later little Frank ran in
to the blacksmith shop to see
what his father had killed. He
found the body of his father ly-
ing inst inside the door of the
shop, with the top of his head
blown off, and the gun lying
across his breast. He was mar
ried and had several children.
He was a highly esteemed citi-
zen, and had lived on that farm
p years.
Clarence Hollingsworth was
killed almost instantly in Waynes
boro on Wednesday evening of
last week, when he ran into an
automobile on Main Street. He
was about IA years of age and
was being chased by a playmate
and attempted to run across the
street, and without noticing the
approach of the car, ran rightin-
to it, two wheels of the car run
ming right across the boys neck
causing death instantly. An in
quest was held, but it was shown
that the driver was running at
moderate speed, and he was ex-
onerated from any blame in the
sad accident.

One Of the most noteworthy inn
portations in the slaughter Of the
moths has been an active green beetle,
a tiger in the moth world. Here is
a terrible creature indeed, a creature
Of intrepid ferocity and magnificent
voracity. Beside him the hog is a
beast of most delicate appetite. The
green beetle would devour ten times
his weight in gypsy moth caterpillars
in a single day, and be ready to du-
plicate this performance on the NOR
row. His nominal two seasons Of
active life are a wild orgy of staying
and feasting. His span Of mortality
includes a mere fortnight Of larval
life and two brief summers of adult
existence, representing less than five
months Of activity altogether; but
during this time he will normally
devour nearly six hundred and fifty
gypsy moth caterpillars or pupR as
big as himself. A single pair have
been observed to eat 1000 caterpil-
lars within eight weeks, gluttony al
most beyond belief.-Harold Kel-
lock, in the Century.

Returns to Columbus

Mr.. and Mrs. G. s. Wilson
aud son, Ohas Jr., arrived here
from Troutdale, Virginia, early
Thursday morning They did
not like the looks of Columbus as
they passed through on the Lin.
tied Wednesday evening aud
went on out into Arizona. That
country did not look as good to
them as this so they returned on
the mixed train, arriving here at
$500. Mr.. Wilson has an en-.
larged homestead a few miles
northeast of town and will estab-
fish his residence at once. He
expects to make extensive inn
proyements and will farm few
acres this season.

CACTUS AS FEED FOR STOCK

recently read a bulletin is
sued by the government on the
subject of the heading. ABOVE.
The plant is generally consid-
cred a nuisance but from this
report il is a very valuable
stock food. One species of the
prickIy pear which is found in
abundance in this valley is very
highly recommended as a for
age plant and with so pounds
of alfalfa and ten pounds of
bran fed with 1000 pounds of
the prickly pear is a good bal
ance feed for mich COWS as
we'll as other stock. 1t has
been learned that in chemical
composition it compares favor
ably with ordinary green fodder
and green crops. OF course
the species which grow here are
covered with thorns, but there
is very little expense attached
in removing them by singing.
An acre planted in
cactus is supposed to
yield from ten to fifteen tons
Of forage each year, according
TO the attention given it. The
spineless cactus can not stand
the winters here. Later we
will publish more about this
plant.

From all Indications this
will be a good year for the
Lower Mimbres. Home seek

large number of people who
have resided here in the past
are returning to make further
developments on their property.
Many new pumping plants are
being installed and many more
wells are to be sunk within the
next few weeks. K. w. Elliott

the flow is not large enough to

irrigation proposition, though
il is a good watering place for
several hundred head Of stock.
There will be over 100 per cent
more land under cultivation
this year than ever before.

is no doubt that this will be
the best year by far the people
have experienced in the Lower
Mimbrcs.

FOUND IN OLD CHRONICLES
Origin Of Famous Name Of "0uelphr
10 Found In Two Twelsth-c century
Versions OF History

It is said by an old chronicler Of
the twelfth century that the word
Guelph German ~Welf-i de-
rived from the ancient "welp,' which
corresponds exactly to the English
"whelp,' meaning a cub or puppy.
The chronicler says that Isenbrand,
the son Of the founder Of the dynasty.
married the daughter Of a. Roman
senator (for it is claimed that the
Guelph family goes back 10 a time
which preceded tha' Of Charlie
magrs), and had by her a son who
was called Catilina. Catilina, how
ever, sounded very similar to Catul-
lus, which meant in Latin a young
dog, and so the name as translated
into German became Welp or Welt,
that is, Guelph.
The chronicler mentions vet an
other version. according TO which
lsenbrand was hunting with the EN-
peror, when he received the news Of
the birth Of a son. When he then
asked permission to return home, the
emperor i%estingly observed-"Is II
really on account of a mere welp that
thou wishest to 60 home?" Isen-
brand was stung by this disrespectful
reference to his heir. and determined
TO give the name of Welp TO his son
