PRO-GERMAN HENS
They Become Great Layers When
Purchased by Teuton

A certain young boy whose parents
ancestors came from Ireland and
Scotland. living in the western part
of the village. has for somewhat over
a year been engaged in the bantam
poultry business with unyarying non
success in the way OF producing hen
fruit.
On Tuesday OF this week, a gentle.
man Mailing from sGermany--John
Weber by name-was engaged to do
some road building etc. at the afore-
said boys home. Incidentally John
and the boy struck up warm friend
ship via the chicken-talk route The
boy having failed to realize his dream
Of wealth foretod in THE Family
Poultry Journal" decided 10 swap his
flock of seven hens and two roosters
for Mr.. Webbers four dollars.
The bargain was struck Wednes-
day at noon-the Scotch-Irish flag
was duly lowered on the hen house
and the German ensign run up.
The best previous record of those
nine unneutral fowls wasa remark
able lay OF three tiny eggs, aecomp-
anied by enough cackliug to warrant
a peck of ostrich eggs. Thursday,
however. on going TO the Germanized
hennery, 10 and behold! the boy
found eight eggs, evidently one of
the ROSTERS had turned suffragette.
as fitting expression of its warm
German sympathies
The only redeeming feature from
the Allies point of view was that
John, having not yet paid over the
cash, the boy seized the eggs as con
traband of war and held them. John
Immediately forked over the cash and
removed his purchases to the tender
mercies of his grandchildren. Talk
about starving out the German. For

IN SPITE OF TWO VOTES
LEGISLATURE PROCEEDS

In spite o two adverse votes against
oma suffrage in South Dakota in
the last our years, the lower house at
Pierre. by a vote of So to 40, decided
to pass a qualified suffrage act any
way. This is plainly a notice by the
house members that they know a good
deal better WHAT S good for the state
than the people do themselves. The
vote, however, was not large enough
to make it possible to violate the
spirit Of the constitution, by declar,

referendum will be invoked and that
the question will be voted on two

tanned a report of the organization
of the Dakota Club in Miami
There were also organized at about

The Dakotans not only formed an
association, but also planned on q
big picnic, the reference to which and
the club is as follows in the Miami

As one of the main purposes of the
society, as set forth in the consti-

for Dakotans in Miami to become ac-
quainted, a picnic will be held at
Cape Florida next Sunday. Boats will
leave the Twelfth street dock at
1890 and the afternoon spent at the
cape. $very Dakotan is expected to
attend. The Dakota picnic will here
after be an annual affair, say mem

be provided during the winter sea

bardments May Cause Quake.
Rather exilaustively disclosing Ger
tain phenomena Of the earth. In rela-
tiph To mans thought and aphion,
Mr.. Tesla, the noted els,ctIical ex-
pert and scientist, says In part:
sThe question natlrall! presents
itself as to whether there is some In
innate relation between wars and ter.
EreStrial upheavals. The latter are of
decided influence on temperament
and disposition, and might at times
be instrumental In a~ccelerating the
clash, but aside from this there seems
to be no mutual dependence, though
both may be due to the same primary
cause.
What can be asserted with per-
feet confidence Is that the earth may
be thrown into c0nvalsions through
mechanical effects such as are pro
duced in modern warfare. This state
ment may be startling, but it admits
OF a simple explanation.
Earthquakes are principally due to
two causes--subterranean explosions
or structural adjustments. The for
mer are called volcanic, involve inn
mense energy and are hard to start.
The latter are named tectonic; their
energy Is comparatively insignificant
and they can be caused by the slight
est shock or tremor. The frequent
slides in the Culebra are displace-
ments of this kind.
Theoretically, 1t may be said that
one might think Of a tectonic earth
quake and cause it to occur as q re-
suit Of thought. for Just preceding
the release the mass may be In the
most delicate balance.
1.-THE explosions of mines, torpedoes
mortars and guns develop reactive
forces o nthe ground which are meas
ured in hundreds or even thousands
of tons and make themselves felt all
over the globe. Their effect, how
ever, may b enormously magniied by
resonance. The earth is a sphere of
a rightly slightly greater than that
of steel and vibrates once in about
one hour and forty minutes.
III, as might well be possible, the
conclusions happen to be properly
timed their combiEed action could
start tectonic adjustments in any part
OF the earth, and the Italian calamity
may thus have been the result OF ex-
plosions in France. That man can
produce such terrestrial COMMISSIONS
is beyond any doubt, and the time
may be near when it will be done for
purposes good or evil"
