PUT IN HOLIDAYS WALKING
One Hundred and Forty Miles Trav'
eIed in Seven Days Is Record Of
Minnesota Girl.

While many Minneapolitans rose
from the dinner table and walked to
the drug store two blocks away to
settle their Christmas dinners, Miss
Amelia Braathen went without a
Christmas dinner and started out on
a walk which lasted week, says tne
Minneapolis Journal. She returned 10
Minneapolis New Years eve after sne
had walked lao miles and visited four
teen towns and eight counties. she
wore out a pair of shoes, but came
home satisfied with her Christmas va
cation.
Miss Braathen was the guest of a
sister in Minneapolis. She Is teaching
a rural school She left Minneapolis
for her work soon after returning
from the walking trip.
Il have always liked to walk" Miss
Braathen said MY home is on a
farm and there is a lot OF room for
walking out there. | often used to
take walks of ten miles or more, but
this was my first attempt at really
long trip.
"On the whole, the trip was not
eventful. In all the towns through
which ] passed l was received most
courteously. The last day of my trip
though my shoes would give out be-
fore | reached home, so | bought a
pair Of rubbers to save the day.
Il travelled light, with my baggage
in a small satchel. The first few days,
| took 1t easy because l didn't know,
how fast l could go, but one day 4
made twenty-five miles. After that Il
took 1t easy again, because l was gep
ing near home too fast"

War and the Horse.

Farm and Fireside quotes American
horsemen high in authority as saying
that about 100000 of our horses have
been sold on war orders for about
$100000,000 since the outbreak of the
war.
Fully 80 per cent of the artillery
horses purchased were sired by draft
stations and were out of small mares.
The same horse authorities claim that
the Belgian breed in Europe has been
practically destroyed and Percheron
breeding stock has also been heavily
sacrificed for war use..
A representative of one Of Ameri-
cas- greatest horse importers says 1t
would not be possible to find 200
draft stations suitable for export TO
America, even were expectation al
lowed.
The crux of the matter clearly indi-
Gates that American horse users must
depend on the produce Of American
studs for draft sires for many years to
come.

Head of German Naval Staff.

Admiral Won Holtzendorff, recently
announced as the new head of the
German naval staff, is former COM
mander Of the German high seas fleet
and one of the big men of the navy.
Emperor William gave him command
of the high seas fleet at the outset Of
the dreadnaught era, when the advent
of the all-big gun type of battleship
made Germany dangerous rival Of
Great Britain, and he retained that
command until just before the war
began, when he was succeeded by Ad-
miral Won Ingenhohl, who gave way in
turn last spring to Admiral Won Pohl

FIRST TO BUILD TRENCHES
Romans Instituted System of Field
Qualifications Which Are Used by
the Armies Today.

The Romans, who were the first to
make a real science and art of war,
were responsible for one of the prin-
cipal features In western Europe-the
fortified frontier. This does not mean
the ordinary fortified frontier as 1t
was known up to 1914-a series Of
strong fortified camps with unin-
trenched gaps between them. 1t was
In southwestern Germany that the
Romans built, as a protection against
the inroads of German barbarians,
what was the prototype of the line
of trenches which today runs from
Switzerland to the North sea. And
just as the German trenches in
France and Belgium are to all intents
and purposes the frontier of the Ger
man empire, so the Roman trenches
the lines Germanicus-were part of
the frontier of the Roman empire.
The northern-known in ancient
times as the photographer or pals
ade ditch-ran from the east bank of
the Rhine, near Bonn, across the
Taurus mountains and the Main in
general southeasterly direction
south to near Stuttgart. 1t consisted
of an earthen wall, with a ditch-the
trench being, of course, on the out
side and the wall being the position
of the defenders. The wall was topped
by a palisade, and at intervals there
were towers-burgi-occ by
small bodies of troops, who patroled
the intervening sections of wall. At
longer intervals were stone redoubts
-castella-where larger bodies Of
guards were stationed. One of the Pc
culiarities of this frontier-which in
its details represented, of course, an
artificial boundary through what at
the time was very sparsely settled
country-was that a stretch of about
fifty miles in length ran in a straight
line due north. 1t has been referred
to in English and German writings as
one of the earliest known boundaries
on the American plan.
Near Stuttgart the Pfahler cro hen
meets the INTERCHANGEABLE devils
wall-which was the name given in
medieval Germany to the other half
of the lines Germanicus-a rampant
of stone which extends little south
of east till 1t meets the Danube at
Regensburg. There were forts at in.
tervals to strength this, and in the
main it was apparently garrisoned
much like the Pfahlengraben.

light are enjoyed to wonderful advan'
tage.
And the gardens!
In them flourish the olive, cypress,
orange, lemon, fig, magnolia, palm,
banana, eucalyptus, aloe and papyrus.
But the olive is seen in greatest pro-
fusion in the center of the island,
100000 trees being in the groves.
April sees them in bloom, while the
fruit ripens from December to March.
Unfortunately Corfu does not produce
choice oil owing to the primitive ap-
pliances for expressing and clearing 1t.
The inhabitants show moro culture
than is usual in Greece. This is said
to be due to the Venetian and English
domination of Corfu. Good roads lead
to nearly all parts of the island.
Some seven miles south of Corfu is
the Villa Achilleion, which, a few
years ago, was to be seen providing
one was armed with permesso from
the Austrian consul. The most inter-
esting part of it's varied architecture
is the colonnade to the east with its
fine frescoes. The large park de-
scends to the sea in terraces, the fish
ing village of Benizze with the remains
of a Roman villa being below. Among
the works of art is a Dying Achilles
by Herter and lin small temple) a
seated marble statue of Heine by the
Danish sculptor Hasselries.
Drives to the westward are embow-
cred with medlar and apricot trees
and romantic expresses.
A drive to the north and west Of
the city of Corfu (nearly crossing the
long, narrow island) discloses red
cliffs on the west coast honeycombed
with caves. On top of the rocky
height there's wonderful view-be-
hind the city of Corfu and the pic
turesque east coast, while far to the
northwest are the OTTOMAN islands,
one of which is thought to be the isle
Of Calypso. There is also fantas-
tically shaped rock resembling sail
ing ship which was once Thought 10

Salvatore, the islands highest peak.
This view embraces the entire island,
the OTTOMAN Isles, the mainland or
Greece to the east, the island of Cepha-
lonia to the south and to the west the
sea.

Rats Recovered Liberty.

The official ratcatcher of the British
Western Railroad company died few
days ago. For over forty years this
mans family have been the official
ratcatchers of the company. His meth
cd was to take the rats alive when
ever possible. On one occasion he
secured over ninety live rats, which
he imprisoned in a cage Coming
home in the train he transferred twen-
ty of the rats from the cage to a sack.
He then fell asleep, but was aroused
by the rats, which had eaten a hole
In the sack, running about the COM
partment, one being actually up his

LONG 'N0-MAN'S LAND
FALKLAND ISLANDS NOT CON
sIDERED WORTH POSSESSING.
Though Now a Part of the British
Possessions, This Dates Only
From the Eighteenth Gen.
tury-Rivers of Stones.

The Falkland islands, which will
always be memorable in the history
| of the war, were first discovered by
Captain Cowley in the days of
Queen Elizabeth, but it was not until
1894, in the days of King George, that
the British decided to annex them.
It was then found that the French
had established colony there in the
previous year and had annexed the
islands in the name of the king OF
France. The British, however, later
came into possession, but were evict-
ed by the Spaniards by main force.
A war between England and Spain
was averted, and the English resumed
possession, only to abandon the place
three years later. Until the transac-
lions which took place between the
Argentine and the British governments
in the early part of the eighteenth
century the islands were a no-man's
land
Lecturing before the Royal Colonial
institute in London recently, Major
Quayle Dickson, formerly colonial Sec
rotary for the Falklands, remarked
that the rivers of stones were con-
sidered by many to be the most in
teresting feature of the Falklands.
They varied in length from a few
yards to two miles, and from a dis
lance looked like rivers.
There was no accepted explanation
of their existence, but one theory put
forward was that the whole country
Cncluding Patagonia) was at one time
covered with ice. When the ice
melted these stones were left bare
and slipped down the hillsides into
the valleys where they were now
found. 1t was also suggested that the
bowlder streams were due simply to
the natural disintegration of the solid
rock
The blocks were not water worn,
their angles being only little blunt
ed. They varied in size from one to
two feet in diameter to ten or even
twenty times as much, and were not
thrown together in irregular piles.
but spread out into level sheets or
great streams.
1t was not possible to ascertain
their depth, but the water of small
streamlets could be heard trickling
through the stones many feet below
the surface. The actual depth was
probably great, or the crevices be-
tween the fragments must long ago
have been filled up with sand and
peat dust. So large were the stones
that one could easily find shelter be-
meath one of them.
In some cases a continuous stream
of these fragments followed up the
course Of a valley, and extended even
to the very crest of the hill. On these
crests huge masses, exceeding in d.
mansions any small buildings. stood
as II arrested in their headlong
course.
There also the carved strata of the
archways lay piled on each other like
the ruins of some vast and ancient
cathedral

STCNE MUST SERVE TIME
FOR ATTEMPTED ASSAULT

Herbert G.. Stones conviction and
subsequent sentence at Barlow to
seven years in the penitentiary for
attempted criminal assault on a
prominent Winter Haven girl, has
been confirmed by the supreme court,
according to a telegram received by
Judge C. B. Parkhill yesterday.
Stone is a prominent Winter Haven
man and has well-known connec-
tions in Georgia.
The fight for his conviction was
one of the most stubborn in the his
tory of the circuit court in Polk
county. The father of the girl,
former business partner of Stone,
gave the State the assistance of the
best legal talent available. Wealthy
relatives of the accused man came to
his rescue and the counsel for de-
Tense was a notable array of talent.
The charge was originally Grim

to substantiate that any actual harm
had been done the girl, and the jury
found Stone guilty of attempted
criminal assault.

THE NO FENCE LAW

For the last ten years the subject
of a county option election to decide
whether the state conditional law or
the subject of open range should be
enforced has been discussed in Polk
county. We notice more discussion
of it than usual lately. The Chief
doesn't think the time to settle the
question has quite arrived, but one
thing is clear to all thinking men
it is becoming a more and more i'm
portant question every year, and
must be settled sooner or later.
The damage done by range cattle
is hard to calculate, but it amounts
to a surprising sum in the aggre-
gate. This, however, is the very
smallest part of the loss due to the
free range custom. The real loss
comes from the low grade scrub ami
mails that are the only ones which
can be kept under this system, and
from the ticks that such most of
the money out of these scrubs. 1t
the cattlemen ever can be brought
to realize the hundreds of thousands
of dollars they are losing yearly in
this country by the open range sys-
TEN, they will be the most earnest in
advocating a fence law.
The cost of freeing COW from
ticks by dipping is just about fifty
cents per head per year. 1t is
strange that men do not object to
putting $50 worth of fertilizer on
an acre of land, because they know
the increased yield will more than
pay for it, can't see the good sense
of spending fifty cents on a COW
when it is certain that the increased
yield of milk or meat will pay for
it many times more than the fertil-
izer returns it's costs. But in
time all cattlemen will see this great
truth, and then we believe that Polk
county will go into the fenced range
class practically unanimously,
that the stockman who raises
under the better conditions ensuing
will become our most prosperous
citizens,-WTinter Haven Chief.
