MAN FIGHTS WITH JELLYFlSH
In Desperate Struggle He Breaks
Loose From T~entacles, But
Suffers Great Pain.

Santa Barbara, Cal.--G. H.. Wilson
lies at the Cottage hospital in a crit
zeal condition from as thrilling and
unusual an encounter as has ever
taken place here. He had a life and
death struggle with a huge jellyish.
Four hundred feet from shore, off
Serena, Wilson, who is senior partner
Of the firm of Wilson & Schwab, auto
mobile men of this city, was suddenly
attacked.
He saw before him what he says
looked like a great sheet of butter and
eggs. Suddenly strips of yellow and
white began to separate from the mass
and extend toward him. He turned to
swim out Of reach when the creature
threw its tentacles about him and the
mad fight was on. In the struggle
Wilson broke the mass into frag-
ments, but reached the shore exhaust
ed, and his face and shoulders sting
ing as though from scalds.
At the hospital 1t was said that the
patient is getting along f%avorably. His
pain at times was so intense that NOR.
phine had to be administered. His
shoulders and face resemble n mass
of poison oak burns.

CITY bred boy of some seven
n years was taken to the country
"A for the good of his health. Dur
ing his first breakfast in the new sur
roundings he was asked whether he
wished any milk.
What kind of milk do you use?" he
asked, as he had heard visitors ask his
mother at home.
why, cows milk, of course" was
the uncomprehending reply Of the ma
tive dispenser of good things to eat.
"Then / don't want any, thank you,"
said Jimmie. I'VE use only Anderson's
milk"
This was considered very funny at
the time, and the story was told to all
who would stay long enough to listen.
incidentally, Jimmie learned a great
deal about cows that no n had ever
| considered it necessary to teach him.
And he learned something about the
sources of milk, and about how it
comes to present itself in bottles at
the front step every morning.

PAWNS HAT TO PAY PARsoN
But Georgia bridegroom Must Still
Pay One Dollar to Get Marriage
Certificate.

Savannah, GA swain whose
name is Sam WilKerton spent his last
~hard-earned money for a marriage IL
cense, concluding the purchase in
January. After considerable conversa-
ton with the preacher regarding rates,
he pawned his hat and became united
in marriage. There is Ii thing miss
ing from Sans aappy life, and that
is the marriage certificate, the Off
cial record of the union bought with
a hat.
Sam pawned his hat, and, securing
a dollar for this bit Of haberdashery,
carried the coin and his fiancee to the
altar, leaving the one and becoming
the better half Of the other. The so
cents he reserved for housekeeping,
and in doing 80 felt that Cupid had
put one wei on ministerial shrewd-
ness.
Thus the ceremony was performed
and Sam kissed the bride, while his
left hand reached out for the marriage
certificate, but his latter nov was
intercepted.
"Thatll cost you n dollar" said
the minister.
And that's the situation.
Sam snapped mis- hat for a bride
but lacks the dollar to prove his
union.

And in a way this is quite as true OF
the country child as it is of the city
child. The former accumulates a great
deal Of first hand knowledge about
raising garden truck and crops and
farm animals, but the dishes and the
table ware, the stationery and the
hardware, most of the clothing and
the house furnishings come to him
from nowhere in particular, by way of
the parcels post or express, or at best
by way Of the general store"
The child in the city needs to know
more about the farm than he can learn
from books and pictures; and the child
in the country needs to know more
about factories than he can read in a
magazine.
In one western town a group Of faith
ers planned to take turns in conduct
ing the children of the schools through
the business and Industrial plants.
In an eastern city the mothers of the
children of a school made a similar
arrangement.
There is an opportunity here for
parents to do valuable supplementary
work for their children in cooperation
with the schools and with the other
institutions Of the community. To
learn in the course of a few years
all that is involved in a pair Of shoes
as a product of human labor is a liber
alizing experience for any child.

Poor feeding kills many chicks.
Give no feed for two days after

Leg weakness results from lack Of

The first chick feed. should be a
dry mixture Of cracked grains.
Cracked corn, wheat, Kafir and pin

Feed sour milk or breef scrap to

Poor growth and lack Of thrift
