A halibut ground was found OF
Newport, Ore, covering an area of
approximately $50 square miles. AS
an Immediate result of the Alhatross
findings, fishermen made 81 trips to
the ground, taking about $4,000
pounds of halibut, valued at about
$4,000. Trips yielding 10000 pounds
were made in four days or less. fr--

weather conditions and the lack Of

from April to October.
Several smaller areas OF Grays har-

produce halibut In limited numbers,

found to abound in founders, soles,

Rash KITTY BRAvED LION
And Keeper Almost Sacrificed His
Own Life to Rescue Pet From
Claws Of Annoyed Animal.

The rashness of Teddy, plain gray
cat, official rat catcher of the Zoo,
nearly cost Keeper George Sichert his
life in the cage Of an Infatuated
lioness.
Rats were scarce about the menag-
erie, SO when Teddy spied piece of
meat in the cage of Helen, an eleven
year-old African lioness, he decided
to brave the wrath Of his huge cousin.
Cautiously Teddy made his light foot
ed way through the bars toward the
discarded remnant of Helen's supper.
Hardly had he touched it, however,
than Helen awoke from a seeming
doze, and with a sweep of her power
full paw sent the cat flying across the
cage.
Keeper Sichert, whose especial pet
Teddy has been for the last six years,
Sw&s cleaning a-cage near by. Calling
several painters to his aid, Sichert
endeavored by reaching through the
bars with his cleaning instrument to
rescue the cat, while the painters with
iron bars kept the snarling Iloness In
a corner.
Failing in this, sichert entered an
adjoining cage which connects with
Helen's by trap door. Three times
Sichert dived through the door to
reach the cat, but each time the
charge Of the lioness drove him back
The fourth attempt was successful,
although the trap door was slammed
down just in time to save the keeper
from the Infatuated lioness' claws

A certain, charming young thing d
this town has an uncle Of whom shas
has always been, and still u, very
fond; but just at present abe y con-
WINGED that he Is as catty as any WON
an she's ever known.
She tells the story herself:

letter from Uncle Dick.
Nov, It isn't necessary for me to

Well, suppose it did seem little

his first letter, he received another
from me, telling him of my engage

nice about 1t. He approved Of my
course In the matter, even though he
did prefer Tom to anybody else. And
couldn't complain of the letter uncle
sent me in reply to the second. It
was just as nice as his first, although
he did give hint Of surprise.

Results Of Spraying With CoppeF-LImO

Study all your tree enemies and get
well enough acquainted with them

There are some Of these enemies
that can be successfully attacked on

will have to learn to know them at
sight and to know when these days
come, II you are going to rid your
orchard of the pests. You ought to be
ready for the days when they come,
because there is little or no time to
prepare after the pests make their APP
pearance. Learn to know the spray
ing times and to be able to take full
advantage Of them, and when they
come keep the sprayer going from

hardly ever kill the old or the adult
bugs with a spraying mixture any
way, and that you must strike the
young ones to make any progress.

Repeated Like Machine Gun.

The attention of the committee Of
seventy is invited to the device en-
-ployed in Santo Domingo to prevent
repeating; the voters hands are
marked with indelibile ink. It is re-
ported that some of the voters have
found 1t possible to erase the marks,
but 1t is not known whether they have
done this In order to repeat. At any
rate. the practice of marking man
opens up considerable possibilities In
the way of the publication Of cleo
tions. For example, in one of our
cities recently one-legged negro was
found to have voted six times. He
went to the polls once with an artiil-
cial leg, once with peg leg, and
once with nothing but his natural leg
and q pair Of clutches. By putting .
bandage over one eye and then over
the other, and on one occasion stick
ing some whiskers on his face, he man

Advlee 70 Housewives.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Vrooman says that the American
housewife could materially reduce the
cost Of living il she were to get the
hour-mixing habit.
There are some thirty substitutes
that can be mixed with wheat flour
In making bread" he says. Many Of
these are more nutritious than wheat
-four; some of them are cheaper than
wheat flour, and of these two or three
at least are commercially obtainable
almost anywhere.
Potatoes. corn -four, and rice can
be used with profit in mixture with
wheat -four in making yeast bread.
With wheat flour as dear as 1t Is now,
the careful housewife stands to effect
quite a saving by using one Of these
products to exc out her wheat -four.
Experiments have shown that the sub
stitutes can be used successfully in
the proportion Of one part to three
parts Of wheat -four. At least three
fourths Of the mixture must be good

ESSENCE OF RIGHT SPRAYING
With Force Enough to Penetrate
Every Inch Of Surface.

The very essence Of right spraying
10 slamming the material into the tree
twigs. buds and leaves with forc0
enough to make It penetrate into every
quarter inch Of surface. All the bark
must be wet with the solution. It will
not do to wet the top surface of the
leaf and leave the other untouched.
Both sides of the leaves must have
their spray bath of the poisonous mist
II the tree insects are to be routed sat
isfactorily.
Missing few clusters OF leaves and
twigs or failing to get to one limb In
the top or in the center OF a tree, will
leave colony OF the tree enemies big
enough to reinfect the whole tree in
a very short while. It should be all or
none, for anything less than a thor
ough spraying is a waste of both time
and money and mighty discouraging
to boot.
You have to know the enemies you
are going out to kill. In other words,
You have to know what to spray for,
when to spray and how to spray.

.REG|N'S CREW Of z
REPORTED RESCUED
Vessel Was Sunk Off Dover This
Morning by Either Mine or
Submarine
By Associated Press

London, Feb. 2S, f.25 p.m-The
Norwegian steamer Regin was sunk off
Dover this morning by either a SUBJ
marine or a mine. The crew of ~
men was saved. 4s
The Regin, which was carrying coal
from the Tyne to Bordeaux sank ten
minutes after she was struck. ~
The Regin is the second Norwegian
steamer to encounter a submarine or
a mine in the English channel since
February Is, when the German sub.
marine blockade against British ports
went into effect. The tank steamship
Belridge was torpedoed by a German
submarine off Folkstone last week.
She was not, however, very seriously
damaged for after being beached at
Walmer she later made her way to
port. The Regin was of 1907 net
tonnage, 265 feet long. and was built
in 1918.
Disaster has overtaken two other
Norwegian steamships in the last few
days. The Nordykn went down in the
Baltic last week, probably as a result
of striking mine or being torpedoed.
and the Cuba, a freighter bound from
London to Rotterdam, sank February
21 in the North Sea after collision.
