outstanding the fact that B. H.
Boyer, attorney for the vets, placed
a sign on his door which among other
things stated "Gone to Ironton, will
be back after the drouth," the drouth
is still unbroken at Pennington and
the county seat will likely remain al
arid region indefinitely as it is the
general opinion that there is but little
merit in the contest proceedings in
stituted by those who are anxious to
again place our suburban neighbor in
the wet column.
The contest case was taken to Iron
ton on a change of venue from this
county. When it was called there be-
fore Judge bearing Saturday Mr.,
Boyer alleged that the Pennington
election was illegal because no ballot
boxes were used at the election. IL
his original petition Mr.. Boyer alleged
as one of his reasons for ~contestinl
that eight ballots in Ward No. 1 ano
nine ballots in Ward No. 2 had beer
deposited in the ballot boxes
without being properly numbered
by the election judges and thai
when the judges discovered the
error they opened the boxes, number
ed the ballots and credited them to
whom they thought had voted them.
Even IL this is true it would not, ac-
cording to attorneys for the drys,
materially affect the result of u
election as there would still be a ma
jority in favor Of a dry town after
these votes we're placed in the dis
card.
When Mr.. Boyer fled his amended
petition at Ironton the drys asked
that the case be continued until
April. Their request was granted by
Judge bearing.
1t is reported that the next move
on the part Of the vets will be III
bringing OF mandamus proceedir rs

to issue saloon licenses at Farming

When rain falls in tropical countries
there is no mistake about 1t. The rain
comes as If it mean to sweep away all
such trif1es as trees and bushes. A
man who goes out in this deluge must
protect himself. but he finds that a
macintosh of the lightest kind has
its disadvantages. for If it keeps the
rain out it also keeps the heat in.
The %ralncoat devised by the Mexi-
cans Is called a 'chino" and is so por-
GUS that the heat of the body readily
escapes. while. owing to its construc-
ton, it keeps the wearer dry. The
chino is made of numberless long, mar
row strips of dried palm leaf, one end
of each strip being woven into a light
fabric and the rest falling loose. The
wearer of this garment rustles as he
walks, and the rain pattering upon II
makes a pleasant sound. Arrived at
the house. he takes off his palm Leaf
hat, shakes it and hangs it up to dry
Then he slips off his chino. shakes that
also and hangs it up. He himself is I'm.
touched by the rain, but the chino as
1t hangs up looks like a huge, damp
brown cassock.

(Otocoris ~alpestris)

Length, about seven and three
fourths inches. The black mark across
the breast and the small, pointed tufts
of dark feathers above and behind
the eyes distinguish the bird.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States Except the South At
lantic and Gulf ~states) and Canada;
winters in all the United States ex-
cept Florida.
Habits and economic status:
Horned larks frequent the open coun-
try, especially the plains and deserts.
They associate in large focks, are
hardy, apparently delighting in ex-
posed situations in winter, and often
nest before snow disappears. The
flight is irregular and hesitating, but
in the breeding season the males
ascend high in air, singing as they go,
and pitch TO the ground in one thrill
ling dive. The preference of horned
larks is for vegetable food, and about
ope-sixth of this is grain, chiefly waste.
Some %sprouting grain is pulled, but
drilled grain is safe from injury. Cali
fornia horned larks take much more
grain than the eastern birds, specialize
ing on oats, but this is accounted for
by the fact that oats grow wild over
much of the state. Weed seeds are
the largest single element of food. The
insect food, about 20 per cent of the
whole, includes such pests as May
beetles and their larvae (white grubs),
leaf beetles, clover-leaf and clover
root weevils, the potato-stalk borer,
nut weevils, billbugs, and the chinch
bug. Grasshoppers are a favorite food,
and cutworms are freely eaten. The
horned larks, on the whole, may be
considered useful birds.

HeaIthfuI Whippino.

1t Is considered beneficial to be whip
ped or spanked provided 1t is done
mechanically. In the mechano therapy
departments of up to date institutions
the whipping post. a mechanical device
for therapeutic padding, is an accred-
tied healing machine. You are whip
ped by straps of heavy cloth or leath-
er attached to two rapidly revolving
posts. When you take the treatment
you step backward into the flying
whips and receive their blows upon
your legs, back. abdomen or chest, de-
pending upon the malady from which
you are suffering. The impact of the
straps is just sufficient to set the blood
In free circulation. There is no smart
ing, singing sensation because the
straps are broad enough to eliminate
any possibility of a cutting blow. You
are padded rather than dashed. The
whipping post is valuable In many
types Of nervousness.-Popular Science

Usinq Up Enerqy.

"a calory is the amount of heat re,
quired to raise the temperature of one
pint of water 4 degrees Fahrenheit.
II a man rises from his chair and
walks about eight feet, then returns,
he uses up one of these units" writes
DR.. Edwin F. Bowers in "Sidestep-
ping Ill Health"
yet the body, even while resting or
quiet in sleep. is constantly using up
energy. 1t is also giving off heat
about as rapidly as a sixteen candle
power electric lamp"
To make up for this constant loss
of heat and energy from 1000 to 5000
calories are needed every twenty-four
hours. This is why we eat, and it be
hooves us to see that u food fur
