INVOLVES PECULIAR POINT

+. r. Carpenter, the Hayden attorney,
was on Monday evenings train. return
ing from Glcnwood Springs. where ha.
had gone two days before to appear in
the United States land Office on behalf
of J. B. Male and Forest z. Vanwert
III the contest proceedings involving
agricultural land claims on Trout creek
The other parties to the contest arc
Edward Bell and Samuel M. Bell OF
Oak Creek, for whom Charles w. Oar
row of Glenwood is attorney. Testi-
mony in the cases was recently taken
before Judge Morning in the county
court, and Mr.. Carpenter went to the
land office in expectations of arguing
the matter before the register and re-
ceiver, but a decision was reached that
all argument by both sides should be
presented in the form of briefs.
This contest is peculiar in that
neither Male and VanWert nor tho
Bells are contestors or contestees. Ths
land in question was previously pat
ented as coal land, but had been recov-
cred back by the government and was
thrown open for entry about threo
years ago. The records of the land Of

EAT MORE RICE,

AS the proprietor of local bakery
said recently. "Shoe merchants, dry
goods dealers and grocerymen can
raise prices a quarter or a third, and
the people do not seem to take very
much notice; but when the baker adds
a cent to loaf of bread it almost
starts a riot" Perhaps it's because
we have been taught that bread Is the
staff of life that we view with more or
less alarm any rise in its price. This
ought to be good time for rice mills
to set forth before the public the great
advantages Of rice as food, says Den
ison Herald. Use the slogan Eat more
rice and save on living expenses" 1t
is recognized fact that rice Is one
of the most nutritious foods known to
mankind. When the different nations
sent their soldiers to Picking few
years ago to relieve that city from the
Boxer siege, close watch was kept
by each government of the diet, morale
and marching conditions Of the other.
The japanese were given the laurel
wreath. Their soldiers were much
smaller men than those Of any other
country, yet In full marching order
they carried Just as much weight.
Their ration was rice and smoked fsh,
while the soldiers Of the other nations
fed their men white bread. beef, pork,
potatoes and much more diversified
ration. Furthermore the Japanese ar
rived at the gates Of Peking first and
In better physical condition than the
troops Of any other nation. Eat more

STATE MAY REVERT
TO ONE BUCK LAW
EXPECT ACTION WILL SOON BE
TAKEN TO PREVENT ExTER-
MINATIoN OF DEER.
MAY SEEK CLOSED SEASON
w. E. Barber, Head of State Game De-
partment Reports That from Sixty
to Seventy Per Cent Of Killing
Are Doe and Fawns.

Madison-Action to put an end to
the killing of doe and fawns in Wis
consin may be expected before an
other deer hunting season, it was an
nounced at the Office of the state con-
serEation commission. Commissions
w. E. Barber, head of the game de-
partment. who has just returned from
an extended visit to the northern part
OF the state, said the killing of deer
this season is by far beyond any in
the history of the state. Conditions
have been ideal, with snow just right
for tracking and the leaves gone from
the trees and underbrush, he de-
clared. Out of the immense killing,
from sixty to seventy per cent are doe
and fawns. This would practically ex-
terminate deer in Wisconsin. 1t is ex-
pected that hearing of petitions filed,
will be held soon and either a closed
season announced or a reversion to
the lone buck law will be decided
upon
Unusual care among hunters this
year, it is said, has kept fatalities at a
minimum.
The commission will establish two
new game refugees in the state. one in
Douglas county and another in Barron
county, each to consist of 5,000-acre
tract of wooded land

URGE RAISING MORE WHEAT

themselves to do all they can to gel
their customers to use substitutes for

ers IN several northern Wisconsin cit
les have practically promised to limit
their sales of wheat flour and nave
stated that if customers attempt TO
buy large amounts they will tell such
customers that a portion of their or
der must be filed with some substi-

The state council expects to have
figures before january 1 as to the
amount of winter wheat which has
been sown in Wisconsin during the
fall and these figures viii to some ex-
tent influence the campaign which
will be carried on during the winter

year. 1t is believed. also that by a

Ancient Cathedral Is Saved

An ancient cathedral in Havana,
Cuba, in which the ashes of Christie
pher Columbus once rested has es-
capped threatened sale and destruction.
The proposed sale of the historic Co
lumbus Cathedral by the ecclesiastical
authorities, and its consequent destruc.
ton aroused such opposition that tbs
edifce, which was built in 1904, and TO
which in the next year the ashes of
Christopher Columbus were removed
from Santo Domingo, win probably
soon pass into the ownership of the
Cuban government as permanent ma
tional monument. Though the ashes
Of Columbus were removed by the
Spanish officials at the evacuation in
1900, the crypt where they had re-
posed is still TO be seen by visitors.

TRICKS OF MIND READING
Them by the Performer Through
Encouragement, Puzzling.

In ancient times the sleight-of-hand
performers We're popularity regarded
with awe, as beings who were gifted
with supernatural powers; and the
performers, to enhance their own inn
portance, took care not to contradict
the general belief.
Nowadays we know quite well
enough that all feats of legerdemain,
however wonderful they may appear,
are quite natural, if we only knew
how they were done, observes writer
One of the puzzling tricks performed
by so-called public mind readers, or
clairvoyants, is an extremely simple
deception The performer, standing
on the stage, asks several persons in
the aUIience to write each a sentence
on slip of paper and seal it in an
envelope.
OF course the stationery Is furnished
and afterward collected. One of the
audience is confederate, and writes
a sentence agreed upon beforehand.
When the assistant goes through the
house gathering up the envelopes, the
cOnfederate's contribution is carefully
put where it will be the last one of the
lot to be taken up.
The performer picks out an enve-
lope, and, after feeling it, with much
ceremony, prOnounces the sentence
agreed upon, and the confederate in
the audience acknowledges that he
wrote it.
To confirm this, the performer tears
open the envelope and repeats the SEN
tence as though he found it ON the in
closed paper, which is in reality an
other mans sentence, which he reads,
and then, picking up another envelope
and fumbling it over, he calls out the
sentence he has just read.
The one who wrote it says it is right.
the performer tears open the envelope,
reads what is in it, and proceeds in
that way through the lot.

HAS SUBSTITUTE FOR FUEL
Superior Man Says He Has Perfected
Method of Making Fuel Out of
Clay Mixed With Sawdust-

Superior Superior man with an
inventive mind, who has already in
vented or improved several chemical
processes and who is responsible. for
several devices, says he has perfected
method of manufacturing fuel out
of clay. He is Gustaf Engelbrekt.
With eight pounds of the new fuel,
two or three pounds of wood and a
match, Engelhrekt has several times
kindled a fire in the presence of local
businessmen that developed steam in
a small boiler in seventeen minutes.
The new fuel depends for it's heat
producing qualities on the aluminium
which is a constituent of all elays.
The clay is treated by chemical pro-
cess, which is said to be simple, and
it is mixed with sawdust, then mold
ed. Engelbrekt says that the new fuel
can be produced commercially at $6 a
ton. Specimens of the ash looked
much like coke.

SwordIess Soldiers.

Though some ancient weapons are
being revived the sword has passed.
perhaps, forever. Long the symbol of
war, and the badge of the officer. it
has now been banished from the Amer
lean army. 1t has been abandoned
because it is worse than use
less, says Alilestones. 1t is no longer
an effective weapon either for attack
or defense, and it serves as distin-
gushing mark of the officer, thus max
ing him the prey of the enemy sharp
shooter. With far too few trained
officers, America cannot afford to
waste them, and it is wise to adopt
the present practice of the armies of
her allies.
The modern line officer of infantry
in an attack carries a watch in one
hand and an automatic pistol in the
other. With a watch he times the
progress of his troops, holding them
to slow walk so that they may not
advance more rapidly than their artil-
lery barrage lifts ahead of them. Mod
ern attacks are run with a time table,
so that the artillery may know just
where their own men are at each mo-
ment, and not drop shells on them.
