China's Suaar Palm.

In the southern parts of French Indo- China the natives obtain both food and certain kind of wine from the sugar palm. Several varieties of this palm are exploited by the natives. The tree attains a height of fully twenty feet, but cannot be tapped to any advantage until it is fifty or sixty years of age, when it beginsto flower. The flowers which generally appear at the end of branches. are cut open, and the sap which exudes is collected in little bam boo cups. Sometimes a single fiowea will produce quart and half of sap daily for month. but the average is about a quart each day per tree dur ing the four or five months of in florescence.

Although Jed Hoover was the laziest man in town he always had strength to hold a book or magazine in his hand. It was only in emergencies that the neighbors called upon him for help. One hot day in July, when the clouds threatened rain, farmer hurried to his shack and asked him to ''rake aft or the last load of hay.
 Jed hesitated a minute, and then his eye fell upon a pile of old magazines that were stacked in a corner of the sagging piazza.
 "Well, now, I'd like to help out" was the reply, but I'll have to refuse ye this time I'm a little behind with my reading" Companion

CUT GASOLINE BILL IN TWO
Pittsburgh Scientist Suggests Blend to
 Run Motors.


 Run Motors.
 A blend of petroleum products to save the fuel bills of motorists to take the place of straight gasoline, from which he said they are getting less than 90 per cent efficiency, is proposed by Dr. Raymond F. Bacon, director of the Mellon Institute For Industrial Re search of the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Bacon, who is an authority on petroleum products, was speaking be- fore the industrial conference held by chemists in New York in connection with the annual gathering of the American Chemical society. He con- demned commercial gasoline savers. Any one who catches the odor from a gasoline engine can tell that the full efficiency of the gasoline is not being applied" he said. "A blend of 'chafing head gasoline with some heavier naph- thaline product is better than straight out gasoline. I have made tests with various gasoline savers but have found none on the market can rec ommend. They are not only valueless. hut frequently make matters worse"

REVIVE WIDE AWAKES
 AS HUGHES MARCHERS
Republicans to Have Old Time
 Red Fire ParadeS.

Thousands of Republican voters throughout the country will recall the part played in the campaign of 1860 by the Lincoln Wide. .Awakes. It will be remembered how they stirred things up, spread red fire, organized torch light processions and generally made themselves conspicuous.
 The Hughes Wide Awakes have been organized with General William Verbeck, former adjutant general of the national guard of New York, as grand marshal. Bernard S. Van Rens- selaer, former assistant district attor- ney under Whitman and Perkins, will be adjutant general and Lester M, Brown quartermaster general. Each county is to have a marshall and where the companies number forty or more members a band is to be pro- vided.
 The Hughes Wide Awakes will turn out for rallies, escort speakers, march at the head of processions. serve as a personal escort for Governor Hughes in places he visits and generally rouse the country in behalf of the Republic an candidate.
 A special appeal is to be made to young men, but where there are any surviving members of the old Lincoln Wide Awakes they will be welcomed gladly as active or honorary members. Like the Lincoln Wide Awakes, dis tinctive uniform will be worn by the Hughes organization, a white hat of Quaker design and blue and gold sashes. The officers will be distin- guished by arm bands.
