together, make camp life. They irri-

was that we could help each other if
we set about it in the right spirit, a

"Yes, Dick" she answered.

QUAIL AND CHICKEN

Of the eggs of Quail set by the
birds in wild state, 81 per cent
hatch. Of the eggs of the same bird
hatched in captivity on private game
farms 72 per cent hatch. OF the
birds hatched in the wild state Is per
cent attain maturity. Of the eggs
hatched in private preserves Ga per
cent mature. These figures are taken
from one hundred and seven observa-
tions made in the years 1908, 1909,
1910, 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914
These figures can be amplified by
the statement of the observers a part
of which is as follows: Chickens were
originally wild bird The habitat
of the chicken are very limited. 1t
consisted of strip of territory
bordering on the Mediterranean sea
on the southern border of Europe, the
western border of Asia and a part of
the northern shore of Africa. The
chicken was not domesticated until
after the coming of Christ. Then We
learn from Clixtus that certain fowl
very shy of mankind was brought to
Athens and after three seasons reared
progeny. Since then the chicken has
become the most numerous of all
birds. If laws were to be enacted pro-
tecting chickens from hunters and
butchers and forbidding their owner
ship and rearing by private industry
there woud not be a chicken in
existence in five years.

HAS NEW MlcRcsMETER.
Gauge Scale Equipped With Direct
Reading AEparatus.

A direct reading micrometer has
been introduced which carries two
different gauge scales in decimals Of
an inch. These three scales appear
concentrically on circular dial. The
instrument is made so that only the
use of one hand is required in operat-
ing it, which leaves the other free to
handle the work.
A coarse multiple-pitch screw with
a one-fourth inch lead enables the in
strument to be used quickly, and all
measurements up to No. 80 steelwiro
gauge may be made by one revolution.

Is confusing one because of the
variance in the scales. In England

Add this and the vanilla to the
cream, which has been previously

This will make about a quart. Five

CATCHES METAL CHIPS.
Shield Is Adopted ky One Of Big Steel
Compenes.

A simple but effective shield has
been adopted by one of the leading
steel companies for preventing metal
chips from flying when chiseling is
being done. It consists of screen
made of ducking, ordinarily "a inches
square, and carried in frame made
OF 38 inch round steel bars.
The frame is mounted on steel
block weighing twenty-one pounds,
and the whole device is easily carried
from bench to bench and placed in
any desired position. For floor use
the shield is made larger and is
mounted on heavier base. In some
of the shields the base is made with
a rounded bottom so that it will re-
sume an upright position automat!cal-
ly in case it be upset.-Popular Me-

For Pickle Bottles-Cutting round

piece of paraffin paper on the bot

top of the bottle and pouring paraffin
on the top makes covering just as

soon learned to set them all down as
unworthy of credence. in American
courts it is also well known that Chi
nese are very penurious OF the truth,
and that no oath will prevent them
from giving witness. In Egypt it is
also very easy to get native witnesses
to swear to anything, true or untrue.
For instance: Ahmed, a native Of
Cairo, had a slave who peeped over
wall into Suleiman's harem, and the
ladies considered themselves insulted.
Suleiman wanted revenge but he could
not bring his wives into court to tes-
tify, so it was agreed that Suleiman
should accuse Ahmed's camel of walk
witnesses came forward and for two
days testified about the camel and the
land, until the English judge decided
in favor of Suleiman. 1t was not until
week afterward that he discovered
to his great surprise that Suleiman
had no ground and Ahmed no camel.

CHILDREN OF CITY REMEMBERED
WITH GIFTS OF CANDY
Musical Program Slightly Hindered by
the Severe Cold Wave of the Past
Week,

The first Community Christmas tree
of Twin Falls has passed into history
with the pleasant memories of accomp-
lishmentS for this live city Decked
with cleaning lights of yuletide col
ors and topped by the blistening SYM
bolic star of Christendom, the big tree
was indeed pretty sight surrounded
on all sides by the eager children.
Parked about the base of the tree were
hundredssOf bags of Christmas candies
which were distributed in an orderly
manner 50 that each boy and girl re-
ceived some token of the community's
interest in them.
Surrounding the children, stretched
back to the extreme edges Of the park,
stood the parents as interested specta-
tors in the affair. which has had the
undivided support from all citizens.
While the severe cold made the
omission of the band numbers neces-
sary, the program of Christmas songs
and carols by the children and the
Twin Falls Choral society proved suf-
ficienuy attractive to offset the rig
orous cold and the whole affair was
thoroughly enjoyed and heartily ap-
plauded.
After the exercises, the members of
the Choral society, warmly wrarned
in furs made boh-sled journey to the
various hospitals of this city and con-
veyed the community good will to the
inmates in beautiful carols.

THAT COMMUNITY. TREE

The spirit moved some of our men of
renown;
Great men who will ever hold sway,
To try to make sure that our county
seat town
Should do grand thing on last
Christmas day
They would bring in the country from
far and from near;
The true Christmas spirit would
kindle anew;
The Star of the East should in glory
appear
Above the Yule tree that our fore
fathers knew.
Herald Angels should come from the
east and the west,
Singing carols entrancing to each
human breast;
While the kiddies assembled would be
more than blessed
With a sack full of goodies by each
: one possessed!
So the word it went out, and the
crowd it came in,
And peopled the park in pack:
But the tree that they saw was a little
bit thin
In fact, twas pole with tree on
its back.
The snow it was crisp and the wind it
blew cold
Fen the notes from the horns Of the
brass village band
Fell frozen 80 hard that they ratified,
not rolled;
While the voice of the Angels con-
gealed at the stand.
Alas and alaek for our wise village
souls
Who thought they could conjure
with no magic lamp;
For green limbs will not grow upon
telegraph poles,
Nor Angels leave heaven, earth's
snow fields to tramp
But dont let's forget that the pur-
pose was good,
Nor scott and deride any labor Of
love;
Next year We will bring q real tree
from the wood,
And order our weather direct from

Efficient FORD STARTER
Western Auto Company Installs Gray
Il Davis Systems.

A self starter for the Ford has been
one of many jokes perpetrated upon the
Ford owners in the way of differ
emily applied armstrong" processes
that the owners have a right to feel
skeptical However, in the process OF
evolution of the Ford along with other
Darwinian objects, an electric self
starter has been made that gives the
Ford owner the same luxuriant sensa-
ton as the big "plute" in his high
priced limousine. The Western Auto
company are adding an electric self
starter of Gray and Davis make to
their F'ords that will make the neat
and serviceable car more popular than
ever. One of the starters has been
placed on the demonstration car of the
company and is proving highly eff
cient In starting the newest engine in
the coldest weather, which is the hard
est possible test.
