Curtiss Builds "Zep" Chaser.

A Zeppelin destroyer has been test
ed at the Curtiss Aeroplane company's
flying grounds in Buffalo. Reports of
It's performance, remarks the Philadel-
phia Ledger, say it Is the most remark
able machine ever built for pursuit
and airship chasing. Victor Carl
strom, the long distance record holder,
was the pilot and tested the aero
plane under all conditions, remaining
In the air for more than an hour and
landing with ease.
The aeroplane is tractor triplane,
and was developed In answer to the
demand for an aeroplane which could
leave the ground, overtake and de-
stroy a raiding Zeppelin. The new
machine made q maximum speed of
120 miles an hour and throttled down
until 1t made As miles an hour. The
chief feature of the new triplane model
Is it's ability to climb. At the trial it
assembled 10000 feet at the rate of
1000 feet a minute.

Small Screw Made Trouble.

A diminutive screw worked loose in
one of the big steel safes in the treas
ury department of Cincinnati recently
and dropped into the mechanism OPP
Grating the combination. Thereafter
there was trouble, says the Popular
Science Monthly Magazine. The screw
took it's tumble on q Thursday night
and it was not until the following
Tuesday that the safe was opened. On
Friday morning, when 500 persons
were standing in line waiting for $685.
900 in pay envelopes reposing behind
16 inches of steel, the paymaster dis
covered that something was wrong.
He asked the people to wait until he
found Jimmy Valentine.
After several men who admitted
that they knew uncanny things about
opening safes were tested, the big
safe was just as obdurate as ever, and
the line of watchful waiting ones was
dismissed.
Friday night the safe was ordered
drilled open. A crew of four men
worked from that time until Tuesday
morning before they undid the mis-
chief caused by that one little screw
when it dropped out of it's allotted
place. The additional work cost the
city $75, besides the patience of 500
citizens.

JUVENILE CLUBS GOOD WORK
Their Operation Can Be Tremendously
Effective in Keeping the Country
Boy From the City.

An illustration of the great impor-i
lance of the attitude of parents toward
the work of members of the Boys Ag-
ricultural clubs, which have been or
ganized throughout the country by the
department of agriculture, is found by
specialists in cooperative demonstra-
ton work in two cases reported from
the same state. The incidents are ac-
copied as showing the value of paren-
tai sympathy and consideration, par
ticuiarly in the solution of the problem
of keeping the members of the younger
generation on the farm.
In one case 1t was found that the
boy of the family was helped and en-
couraged from the time he first joined
corn club. His father permitted the
use of one of the best acres on the
farm, gave him barnyard manure, and
allowed the use of the necessary
horses and machinery. The young club
member produced more than hum
dred bushels of corn on his single acre
the first year, and has been consistent
ly successful since. He has even
established a reputation as breeder
of fine seed corn. During the four
years of his membership in the corn,
pig and other clubs, he has won more
than $500 in prizes, and, with his
profits, has acquired ownership of
seven head of purebred Duroc Jersey
hogs, six head of well-bred cattle and
q horse. The home is said to be ideal,
the father and son being reported as
"chummy as schoolboys." The boy
has no thought of taking up life in the
city, but is planning a constructive
future on the farm.
In the second case the results have
been wholly different. The young son
of this family joined kafir club, but
when the crop was gathered the grain
was placed in a general farm bin and
he received no value from it. The
following. year he Joined n pig club,
and when his father called attention to
the lack of feed, he hired himself to
neighboring farmer to secure funds,
The money which he earned was, how
ever, pocketed by the father Wholly
discouraged, the young boy shortly
afterward ran away from home, and
is now working in a city of neigh
boring state.
The Incidents have been used by
the state demonstration agent Of the
state in which they occurred as the
text for an urgent appeal to all par
ents to encourage their children in the
constructive work they are undertake
ing in the clubs. One factor which
will be helpful, it is pointed out, is
permitting the young people to receive
the full financial profits of their In
dustry.

BRONZE BEST LIKED
Beautiful PIumage and Large
Size Has Given This Tur-
key First Place.

"HE bronze turkey holds the
place of honor among it's tribe.
1t is a cross between the wild
and the tame turkey. It's beau
tiful, rich plumage and it's size have
come from it's wild progenitors. To
maintain these desirable qualities
crosses are continually made. In this
way the mammoth size has been gain
ed. Their standard weight ranges
from 16 to Sc pounds, according to age
and sex. Probably more of this variety
are grown each year than of all others.
The coloring of this variety is a
ground of black, blazOned or shaded
with bronze. This shading is rich and
glowing, and when the suns rays are
reflected from these cOlors they shine
like polished steel.
The Narragansett turkeys are next
in size to the bronze. They are OF
black ground color, each feather end
ing with a band of steel gray, edged
with black. This imparts a grayish
cast to the entire surface plumage.
Mixed with this is the finish of me-
tal,ic black and bronze luster.
The standard weights of this variety
are, for males, from "A to 80 pounds;
for females, from II to Is pounds.
Some old males of both this and the
bronze variety weigh over 40 pounds.
The buff turkey is not generally
known throughout the country. In
many localities it is almost unknown.
The standard calls for pure buff col
or throughout, but this shade of color
ing is seldom seen. AS bred for mar
ket these turkeys are of reddish buff
or light chestnut color mixed with
white and some dark standings. They
are highly valued in some localities for
their quick growth and for their at
tractivenesS when dressed. Their av-
erage weight is several pounds less
than that of the Narragansett.
The slate turkey might be called a
blue turkey. They about average in
size with the bluffs and blacks. They
range from 10 to % pounds, according
to age and sex. The black color ranges
from small spots to larger markings,
but the less of this the better for ex
hibition purposes. 1t might be sur
missed that the slate turkey originated
from a cross of white and black tur
keys.
In America the white turkey is called
the white Holland turkey. The reason
for this is not apparent, though some
think it is so called because it Origi-
nally came from Holland. White tur-
keys were formerly quite delicate and
rather small, but now are more gener-
ally developed. The standard Of
weight is less for the whites than for
other varieties. They range from 10
pounds for young hens to 26 pounds
for old toms. In color of plumage
they should be white throughout lex
cept that each has a black beard on
the breast), with shanks and toes pink
ish white.

same to you, ma" he said that ngnt,
I'D ADJUST as soon have bacon Ter DIN
ner tomorrow"
"An right, sonny" the mother laugh
ed and agreed. And that is how Yank
became a member of the Scott family.
For Yank he was named. To Southern
partisans it was term of opprObrium,
but to Bob a term of affectiOn-sO ev-
erybody was satisfied.
By good financiering in the spring
Mrs. Scott was able to add small
flock Of fowls to the Scott possessions,
including some turkeys. With these
Yank mingled, not without tinge OF
condescension. He never did recover
the use of that wing, but he could run
like a dog, using the good left wing as
a plane now and then to lift him to
the top of fence. If Olive Chanute,
the inventor of the aeroplane, had seen
Yank, we might have had that inven-
ton a half century before we did.
Yank showed no disposition to leave
the Scott place, seeming to prefer the
good corn to woodland pickings.
It was seldom that any word or ru-
NOR trickled through from Bob's ia
Their, and then there was a silence of
months that left the Scott household
very solemn indeed. The Sympathies
of the neighbors were Southern; but,
be it recorded to their credit, they
treated the SCOTS with just as much
kindness as if the head of the family
had not gone into the Union army. But
when the guerrillas began to operate
in the valleys below, there was reason
for some uneasiness, regardless of
ones sympathies.
One morning, just at the break of
dawn, there was a cautious knock on
the cabin door. Trembling with appre-
hensiOn, the family reused itself. The
latch lifted, but the man who entered
was clothed in blue. Bob could scarce
ly believe that this red-bearded man
was his father.
His story was short and soon told
He had been wounded and separated
from his regiment. When he recov-
cred, he was assigned, quite willingly
to a detail to round up the guerrillas
and. as he was familiar with the vi.
cinity he was now scouting on their
trail. He was to lie quiet that day
gathering such information as he
could. and return to his comrades that
night.
81 tell you, pop" cried Bob. ''I'll &C
down below and see what l can see
and let you know" 1t appealed to the
boys desire for adventure and to the
soldiers desire for information. So
after some reluctance and many eau
tons, the boy was allowed to go. Te
divert suspicion, for the turkey would
attract more attention than the boy
Yank was permitted to accompany him
The boy and the bird were familiar fig
ures in the neighborhood.

Cause for Thanks.

There have been times in the history
of the country when Thanksgiving day
was rather the occasion of expressions
of hope for blessings to come than of
gratitude for those being enjoyed, but
even so the nation has not been un-
mindful of it's peculiar position as the
most fortunate of the countries Of the
earth. Much more, then, should there
he thankfulness on every side today
when not only are the people of the
land enjoying peace while thousands
mourn abroad, but with peace is plenty
in contrast with the hunger that stalks
elsewhere to carry out the horror that
shot and shell did not complete.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1916-11-30

Then he thought of Yank. Hardly
knowing why, he let go his hold.
There was a squawk and fut-
ter, a man at the door was nearly
knocked from his feet, and feathered
thing that half ran and half flew made
for the pike and the woods beyond.
"He got away!" "Thar goes your
shots all came at the same instant. AS
for the boy, he poured outdoors with
the rest and plunged into the woods
back of the cabin.
Two hours later turkey, both of
whose wings dropped now, the left one
stained with blood, fluttercd into the
Scott clearing. To go to the boy was
the fathers first thought, to go for help
the second and better one. 1t was a
bit risky, but over the ridge he went
and down the mOuntainSide.
Bob circled and crossed the pike a
mile above. On white stone by the
road he saw drop of red. 'Well, they
hit him but didn't git him." he said.
That evening, just as the sun dipped
to the West, there was another hor-
nets nest on the ridge. But this time
it was the enemy that walked into it.
There was time for only a few shots.
But the guerrilla captain heard them in
the valley below and decided that it
would be we'll to move on, leaving his
missing men to join him as best they
cOuld
But they never did. Next night, 20
miles away, the captain turned to one

AWAY lie uedru
the whir change to a flutter, and the
futter to a thud, and the thud to a
struggle in the brush down the hillside.
He followed the sound of that Strug-
gle till he came upon the bird, and bird
it was, a turkey not so big of body as
its spread of wings had indicated, but
a turkey none the less fit to grace the
Scott Thanksgiving board.
The shot had broken its right wing.
The boy decided to tote it home as it
was, and he soon had it Slung from his
rifle barrel over his shoulder and was
picking his way down the mountain
side to find the trail at lower point.
1t was moonlight when he reached the
hog-yard, and then the house, with his
trophy, which was now quite still. Hav-
ing exhibited the bird to his mother
and young sister, he laid it in the hay
loft in the stable, and, after full
recital of his hunt, went to bed, as
tired a boy as ever bagged a turkey,
and probably more tired than any boy
who never did.
Now, q most surprising thing hap
pened the next morning. When Bob
opened the stable door the turkey was
still there, but it was standing on both
feet and with one wing trailing on the
ground. And, instead of fluttering
away as a regular wild turkey should,
it looked up at him with look half
curiosity and half appeal. 1t hoped
a few steps away when he approached,
and then allowed Bob to touch it with
his hand.
"Well, fellow" said Bob, you don't
seem to be very much a-scart."

Endurance of Marines.

In q test of endurance conducted by
Lieutenant Kingston Of the United
States marines in Haiti to determine
the staying powers of his men, 118
men, ranging in age from nMeteen to
fifty-two, and carrying the regulation
field equipment, were given the test of
ascending a steep mountain path, APP
proximately eight miles, within a two
hour limit.
Eighty-four men accomplished the
feat in the prescribed time, and of
those 20 per cent were veterans Of
IA years and over. The average age
Of those who succeeded was twenty
nine years, while the percentage Of
tenderfoot recruits among the losers
reduced their average to twenty-four
years.

What of the Year to Come?

In expressing national gratitude for
blessings received during the year it is
natural to look ahead in an effort to
foresee the developments of the year
TO come. The power of prophecy is
denied. however, and no man can
know what the next II months will
hiring forth. That peace may return
to the world in that period is the de-
yout prayer of all. That that peace
may be lasting, on terms that will
make for long-continued security from
the horrors of conflict, is the earnest
wish of the American people.

Pannenher the Lonely.

IF ones family is small it is kindly
custom TO remember at Thanksgiving
tba friends and acquaintances who
will perhaps be lonely at this time of
fouiiv reunion, young people who are
living far from friends and relatives
or older men and women whose near
oct and dearest have gone to better
world. If by an invitation to dinner
we can make the day one of cheer and
comfort instead of a season of solitude
and sadness to such as these we shall
have spent the very best kind of a
Thanksgiving.

No LONGER Sectional.

In former years the harvest holiday
was observed more religiously and
with more zest in New England that
in any other part of the country. Dur
ing the colonial period it had the same
rank in Massachusetts that Christmas
had in old England-a day for social
festivity as well as day of religious
significance, but since the Civil war
its observance has been characterized
by more or less fervor in every section
of this wide land.
