Oyster Cheap Food.

Only the sea herring can equal the
oyster in cash value as a product of
the sea. This Is partly because they
are so palatable and partly because
they are so inexpensive. A pint can
usually be purchased for 20 cents on
the coasts and nourishing stew for
several persons can be made Of pint
of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean
produces more oysters than are to be
found in the oyster beds of all other
countries, but oyster farming is a
profitable industry in many lands. The
mid-Atlantic coast is particularly noted
for it's oysters.

JASPER, ROUTE 2.
Miss LULA DIXON.

The snow which fell Friday was a
surprise to the people in this part of
the country who have been enjoying
the exceptionally good weather the past
few months, and made it exceedingly
inconvenient for the farmers who have
been so busy baling straw, shredding
fodder, and gathering corn, that they
have neglected to obtain their winter
supply of wood and coal.
The pie supper which was to have
been held last Friday night ut the

How Big Ones Get Away.

How fishes get Off the hook is al.
ways interesting, for the most-talked-
of fish is the fish that got away. Chap
man Grant, who gets fish for the New
York aquarium, has witnessed the re-
markable manner in which morays will
disengage themselves from the hook.
If held dangling in the air, the moray
will double on himself, tie the knot and
pull his head out backward. "At this
juncture," says Mr.. Grant, at has al
ways been my experience that the hook
cape. Mr.. Mobray, however, states
that he has seen morays strange them
selves when caught with strong tackle"

THRIFT IN TEXT BOOKS

America will be the first nation
in the world to rewrite her text
books SO that the children of the
country will be taught thrift in the
schoolroom," says the Christian Her
aid.
This is the sweeping significance
of the resolutions adopted by the Ma
tional Council of Education at it's re-
cent meeting in Portland. They point
out that on account Of the war Ameri-
ca must from now on eliminate waste
of every character, that President
Wilson'S first message to the public
after the beginning of war was on
thrift, and that the best way to safe
guard the economic future of the ma
ton is through better understanding
of thrift, which can be made posi-
BILE only through the schoolroom.
Thrift is more than a principal;
it is a habit. It cannot be inculcated
any too early in life. 1t is properly
one of the most important elements
in practical education. 1t furnishes
firm pasis for right living in war or
peace.
There is no more infexible law of
human nature than that one frugal
habit begets another, and that frugal
habits beget confidence and compe-
tence We hear Of great fortunes
made in a moment. But that is not
the common way. Ordinarily for
tune is built up like stone wall, a
stone at a time. The child who is
permitted to neglect or declines to
lay up the first stone will never make
progress in financial masonry. Only
! the ones who learn to save small
| amounts will ever have much to save

Trip To Lapham Peak

Thinking some of the home folks
might be interested in hearing of my
daughter Doris and of her surround
ings, will write you brief descrip-
ton Of an excursion we made to Gov
eminent Hill last Sunday. AS many
know, my daughter is at the Wales
sanatorium at the foot Of Government
Hill, the highest point in southern
Wisconsin.
A party Of us left Milwaukee in the
early afternoon on an interurban car,
with tickets purchased for Delaield,
which is located about twenty-five
miles from Milwaukee.
With faces set toward the big hill,
we left Delafield, merry bunch, with
hampers we'll filled. IT'S said to be
three miles from the car line to the
top of the hill, but we, with our bur
dens, as in Pilgrims Progress, felt
that the distance must be twice times
three ere we reached the summit.
However, after a breathing spell
and a chance to look about we felt
we'll repaid for our expenditure of
energy. The remains of an old fort,
which was built when the country was
new and Indians were a menace, are
still to be seen crowning the summit
Although the hill is more Familiarity
known as Government Hill, is has re-
Gently been renamed 'Lapham Peak y
It was a glorious autumn day. The
foliage, tinged with shades of red and
gold, made a charming picture. All
about us was spread beautiful pano-
1amic view. In looking out over the
country five lakes could be discerned
and in the haZy distances many church
spires could be glimpsed from numer
Gus small villages, lying below
When, we had gazed our fill at the
scenes from our vantage point, we be-

The Cardiff Giant Again

Mrs. Guy o. Glazier, 2143 Union
street, San Diego, Calf, has sent
this office a copy of the San Diego
Sun of September 8, which contains
an article about the Cardiff Giant. 1t
will be recalled this paper has con-
tanned a number of articles about the
supposed petrified giant, George Hull
of Baraboo being one of those who as
sisted in exploiting the fake. Here
is what The Sun says:
Away back in 1869 P. T. Barnum,
the veteran Snowman, exhibited
throughout the United States a pet
rifed man about seven and one-half
feet high, known as the Cardiff Giant.
Physicians, scientists and scholars
examined the giant and pronounced
it to be a real petrified man who had
lived over 1000 years before that
time 1t created great sensation
and made a great fortune for Barnum.
In the heighth Of it's great success
two dissatisfied employees Of Barnum
filed affidavit to the effect that the
celebrated "petrifed'' man was made
by hand of lime concrete and plaster
at Fort Dodge, Iowa, was sculptured
in Chicago by an artist named Dolph
Levina and secretly carried to Cardiff,
n. Y, and buried. At the Opportune
time it was discovered and put over
by Barnum as the Cardiff Giant, and
proved to be the greatest hoax ever
perpetrated on the American public.
It's whereabouts has been unknown
for 35 years. Last month when
Tommy Getz Of Ramona's Marriage
Place was in the Indian country he
discovered in the hands Of a trader
about six miles from the petrifed for
ests of Arizona, what he believes to
be the lost Cardiff Giant. 1t was
brought to Arizona secretly about five
years ago by two Chicago shOwmen,
whose purpose evidently was to bury
it and have it discovered among the
petrified trees of that region. After
two weeks stay they went east, leav-
. ing the relic with Mr.. COburn, the
trader at whose house they stopped.
They never returned to claim it, and
it was an easy matter for Mr.. Getz TO
secure it for q short while for eXhi-
bition in the museum rooms at Ra-
mona's Marriage Place. It arrived by
freight last evening, and beginning
today the Cardiff Giant can be seen
at Old Town.
