About maunets.

The natural magnet, or loadstone, Is
an ore of iron every molecule of which
is composed Of three atoms Of iron
and four atoms of oxygen gas.
This loadstone has the power of at
tracing small pieces Of iron and if
balanced and suspended will point
nearly north and south.
Artificial magnets are pieces of iron
or steel which have been under the
action of either the loadstone or other
magnets or of an electric current, or
have been subjected to percussion
while in certain positions.
Permanent magnets are those which
retain their magnetic properties per-
manently. They are made of hard
steel, in bars or bent in the form of
horseshoe.
Temporary magnets are those which
retain their magnetic properties only
ns long us they are under the influence
of other magnets or an electric cur
rent. They are bars of soft iron, Ell
ther straight or bent like horseshoe.
The poles of magnet are the two
points Of greatest attraction and repul-
sion. They are near the two ends.

Hbout
Possessions

Some people are very much concern.
cd about their possessions, while all
the time the only things that 1t will
ever be possible for them to own are
scarcely worth having. Because, after
all, the only things that belong to you
are the things that you are big enough
to love and appreciate, not the things
that you can pay money for.
To be sure you can go out and pay
money for chairs and tables, for coats
and diamond sunbursts, and they will
belong to you after a fashion. But In
the end it's all matter of chairs and
tables, isn't it?
Not SO with the ticket to a concert or
the price of book. You can buy your
way into violin recital or pay money
for a poem. But the man or woman
to whom the poem truly belongs, and
for whom 1t was meant, is the man or
woman who loves it and understands
it. And once having that sort of
possession no one can take it away
from you.
II get to the opera once a year." said
a woman who is not often able to meet
grand opera prices. "but the opera is
mine all the year. 1t belongs to me,
not to the people who have season tick
cts and sit in the orchestra circle and
the boxes and so as often as they wish,
unless, perchance, they, too, go because
they understand and love the music"
So what is the use Of wasting time
envying people their possessions?
Let them roll along In their autos and
lean back In their furs. It's yours to
look at them and laugh If yours is the
capacity for owning one fine thing they
can't buy with their money.
"The furs," you may say to them,
"are yours-the stenciled line of that
rugged tree, sketched against the gray
Of winter sky Is mine, an mine be-
cause have eyes to see It,"
So why get excited about possessions.
after all? The big possessions of life,
the things that are most worth having
ire within yourself, and no matter how
slim your purse the world always holds
fair riches that are made especially for
you If you know how to own them.

Siskiyou County
To Have New Town

Siskiyou county is to have a new
town. A. L. Harlow has purchased
several large tracts of land in the
vicinity of Grenada which is now
not much more than flag station on
the Southern Pacific his latest ac-
QUESTION being 1900 acres of the
Sherwood tract.
His holdings now in that vicinity
are approximately 5000 acres, and
Harlow states that the entire tract
will be put under water and sub-di-
vided into small tracts.
Work on the irrigation system will
commence at once.
The parties who recently purchased
land from Harlow for a townsite at
Grenada expect to begin the actual
work of laying out the new town
within the next sixty days. No defin-
its announcement of plans has been
made public, but it is known that
the town will be laid out along the
most modern lines of municipal plan
ming. No name has yet been ascribed
to the new town.

POrcupine Seeks
Medical Aid

A large and active porcupine-who
must have been suffering from an
liberated tooth-created a small
sized disturbance in the neighborhood
of the East Side Pharmacy last Tues
day evening. Where the porcupine
came from and why, is known only
to the porcupine, and he is dead and
will never tell Anyway, the bristly
wild creature was first seen trying
to pry his way into the East Side
Pharmacy and a few minutes later
ascending the stairs toward the dem
tai offices of DR.. Hall, or maybe it
was the consultation offices of DR..
Woods. A crowd of boys mad men
soon gathered, although the hour was
late. One lad threw his cap at the
animal, and of course the cap stuck
on the bristly quills. 1t took several
minutes of hard and exciting chasing
to recover the headgear, and when it
was retrieved it bore the appearance
of an overworked pin-cushion. Final
ly the quill-bearer scurried up the
stairway and minute later his pur-
suers were nearly knocked over by
a huge maltese cat which came
plunging down the stairs with fire
exuding from his eyes and tail swol-
len to the size of feather duster
Finally the animal disappeared, but
in the morning when the clerk in the
pharmacy arrived he found the por-
cupine still waiting at the door of the ,
drug store. Instead of offering the
aid of drugs the pocupine was killed |
and has long since been hauled out
10 the city dump for burial according
% law.

Wood Briggs Will
Delight With Tales

Upon Wood Briggs shoulders has
fallen the mantle of Bob Taylor, the
old-time favorte among all lovers of
good stories well told. With the pass
ing of this postmaster of the art,
thousands of his admirers believed
that his like would never be heard
again. And so it seemed until Mr..
Wood Briggs, the inimitable Kentuck-
ian, appeared with as rich and versa
tile a repertoire of southern, negro,
dialect and drollery as had ever been
listened to. He was openly received
as Taylor's successor. Since then,
Mr.. Briggs popularity among Chau-
tauqua patrons has steadily increased
until it is impossible for him to fill
all the engagements offered him.
Mr.. Briggs is not all fun, however,
his entertainment being more a uni
form chart of purpose upon which he
has strong beadlike gems of illustra-
tion. His characters are human.
They live. This young man presents
a program of love, laughter and
pathos, that will go home to every
one. He will be the talk of the town.
for he is an artist Of signal accom-
plishment, He is a purple patch to
any program, and his appearance at
the Chautauqua is an event to be an
ticipated with the certainty of having
the rosiest expectations fulfilled.
