ODD WAYS OF KEEPING TIME
Lonely Australians Have Many Meth.
ods by Which They Compute the
Passing OF the Hours. 8

On the immense sheep ranches ID
Australia each Of the boundary riders
has district to look after, in which
he has to keep the wire fences in re-
pair and see that the sheep come to-
no harm. It is z hard, lonely life, in
which the rider rarely sees another
human being. Many of the men have
strange ways Of keeping count OF the
days.
One rider, who had live1 for thirty
years in the back country, used two
jam tins and seven pebbles. One tin
was marked "This Week" and the 9TH
er, last Week." On Sunday morning
he was accustomed to take a pebble
out of Last Week" and drop it into
This Week" This operation he. re.
peated every, morning until This
Week had used up the seven. They
were then returned to Last Week"
one each day; and the old fellow
knew when another week had passed.
Another rider, named Eagan, tried
several plans to keep count Of the
days, but always failed At last he hit
on a novel and attractive method. He
made big damper-the name the
Australians give to cake of flour and
water with q seasoning of salt-on
Sunday and marked it into seven
parts. Each section was a days al
lowance, and the slices that remained
told him the number Of days that must
pass before Sunday came again.
For several weeks this method new.
or failed, Him, Unfortunately, one
Tuesday he fell in with fellow rider
who was very hungry. Eagan stinted
himself, in order that the ravenous
one might be satisfied with that days
section Of the damper. But it was no
use. The host saw the knife cut the
! boundary line and the hungry rider
carve into the almanac. i He could
1 stand 1t no longer. ~
stop, now, stop!" he yelled, az ne
clutched the remains Of the damper
and glared at his visitor. There" he
continued, you've eaten Tuesday and
you've eaten Wednesday, and now you
want to slice the best OF the mornin'
off Thursday! Not II ! can stop 1t,
sonny! I won't be knowing the day
of the week!'-Youths Companion.

HOLDS STRENGTH IN RESERVE
Century Plant Conserves Energy to
the Time When It Shall Bloom
In Full Splendor.

For q mere plant, the century plant
exhibits an unusual amount of good
sense. Nature decreed that its bios
soming process be fast and furious
So the plant spends lifetime stor'
Ing up reserve strength for the day
when it puts forth its flowers. Some
times it spends fifteen years getting
ready for its flower season, sometimes
longer. That's why we've named II
the century plant.
Before it is ready to blossom. the
century plant is dense cluster OF
rigid, thick leaves, with thorn on
thu tip of each leaf. 1t grows in Mex
leo and on the western desert. In
Mexico it is extensively cultivated and
is put to several uses.
An extract is made from the leaves
and used for soap. When the plant Is
ready to blossom, the sap is taken
from the stem and made into drink
which the Mexicans call pulque. After
the flower withers, the stem is cut
into slices to form razor ,strops. Fl
nally, the leaves produce fiber, which
IL made into thread and ropes.

Tricky.


A senator was talking about M
tional preparedness.
1.-THE man who would make political
capital out Of such an important ques
ton as preparedness" he said, is az
selfish and tricky as the chap in the
station bar.
"A chap hustled into station bar.
He had only minute or SO to catch
his train. But the bartender was busy,
and the chap saw that he stood to lose
out on being served.
1.-TWO gentlemen, each with whisky
and soda before him, we're conversing
pleasantly before the bar. Well, what
does this chap do but reach over, grab
one OF the WHISTLES and toss 1t OF.
1.-THE owner stared back.
"'How dare you!' he spluttered.
The idea! Why, that wasn't your
whisky
Wasn't it, said the chap. Then
guess this one must be mine, EN-?
And he tossed Oh the other gen.
tleman's drink and dashed out and
caught his train just ~ it was moving

worth of the Maury county Jerseys
today when R. F. Moore & Son
shipped to parties in Missouri car
load of grade Jersey cows and heifers.
The load was pronounced one of the
highest types of Jerseys that have
been shipped from here in long time.
The demand for Jerseys from this
county is better now than its has been
in two years and it is expected that
within the next month number Of
other loads will be shipped out. Dur
ing the past three months more than
twive as many Jersey cows and heifers
have gone from the county than were
shipped during the same period Of the
previous year. Buyers are almost
daily going over the county looking
for the high class cows and farmers
are disposing of them at splendid
prices.

BEN cOWLtY AGAIN
TO SEEK OFFICE OF
ASSESSOR Of COUNTY
POPULAR OFFICIAL MAKES FOR.
NAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF
CANDIDACY.

Ben Cowley Monday announced his
candidacy for reelection as tax as
SCISSOR. This announcement will occa-
sion very little surprise among those
well informed in political circles for
it has been anticipated for some time,
although until this morning Mr.. Cow
ley had never made any definite an
nouncement. This announcement will
add materially to the interest felt in
the assessors race as it will be con-
coded by all that Mr.. Cowley will be
big factor in the contest and is prob
ably better known in all parts of the
county than any of the candidates.
Mr. Cowley has served eight years
as tax assessor. He is uniformly cour-
teous and obliging and numbers
friends in all parts Of the county. OF
a genial disposition; liberal and &C
comodating he has drawn around him
host of loyal friends who will do
their level best to retain him in the
office which he has filled for eight
years. He expects to make most
active campaign, to run upon the rec
ord that he has made, his friends
claiming that as assessor he has
sought in every way to do justice to
all; that his assessments have been
made with an eye single to the well
fare of the county and the rights of
the taxpayers.
The race which the popular young
assessor made eight years ago is still
one of the marvels of the political
history of Maury county. Practically
unknown he made a personal cam.
paign in every part of the county that
resulted in a sweeping victory over
some of the best known and Oldest
campaigners of the county. -Four
years ago he was reelected without
the semblance Of any opposition.
