ECLIPSE AT SOUTH POLE.
Rochester Post-Dispatch.)

Dorchester Post-Dispatch.) e.
At the last meeting of the Amer
lean Astronomical Society, Prof.
William F. Rigge called attention to
some remarkable features of the an
nular eclipse of the sun which will
occur December IS, passes through
the South Pole of the earth; hence
the eclipse will be visible in all longi-
tudes and at all hours of local
time.
The most curious fact which Prof.
Rigge brought out in connection
with the eclipse is this: If we think
of the South Pole as lying at sea
level, then the central line passes
about four miles from the Pole, and
the axis of the shadow cuts the pro-
longation of the earth's axis 9.107
feet above the pole. But from the
reports of Amundsen and Scott we
know that there is a lofty plateau
at the pole with an elevation of about
10000 feet. In view of this eleva-
ton of the ground, it may be said
that the central line of the eclipse
passes exactly through the South
Pole.

The countrywide desire for econ
omy and the present high cost of
pig tin has led to many inquiries re-
garding the possibility Of utilizing
old tin cans. The following facts
are presented for the information of
those interested: Tin cans may be
utilized in several ways. First,
they may be "de-tinned," the pro-
ducts from this process being steel
scraps FUSED in open-hearth fur
naces), tetrachloride Of tin FUSED in
the silkdyeing Industry. pig tin
used in making tin plate). babbit
metal and solder, and solder ashes
(reined into solder.) Second. fric-
ton top cans may be cleansed and
reused in the household. Third, the
caps may be removed from used cans,
which may then be filled with paints,
chemicals, ETC., and new caps appli-
ed. There are at least two detin-
ming companies in this country that
utilize old tin cans. The two COM
panies purchase tinplate scraps from
can makers and others and old tin
cans from junk dealers and commu-
nifty organizations. From 10 to Is
per cent. of their capacity is devoted
to old tin cans.

H "a ~ - HI
WILL NOT SEIZE HOME FOODS.

There is no truth in widely cir
culated statement that the Govern
ment expects to take food supplies
from any family. Both the Food Ad-
ministration and the Department of
Agriculture join in a statement to
counteract what seems to be DELHI
crate propaganda to the effect that
the Government intends to take from
every family all canned goods put up
in excess of 100 quarts.
This is only one Of the variations
of the rumor, which has been widely
circulated. Another statement is that
the Government has been urging the
canning, drying, and preserving of
fruits and vegetables so that they
will be in a convenient form for the
Government to handle and transport
when it takes them away from the
people. Further elaboration is that
these goods are to be taken from the
American homes and shipped to Eng
land.
In one instance a motorist stopped
at a farmhouse to fill the radiator
of his automobile. In the course of
conversation he casually inquired
whether the farmers family was can
ming all the surplus fruits and vege-
tables in order to help conserve the
food supply. He was informed that
the farmer was not doing this be-
cause the Government intended to
take all the canned goods away ex-
cept small part of it actually need
ed by the family itself.
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been con-
templated by the Government. On
the contrary, both the Department of
Agriculture and the Food Admins
tration are strongly urging house
wives to can and preserve, especi-
ally at this time, all surplus fruits
and vegetables in order that the
households themselves may have a
cheap and plentiful supply Of food.

But what will please you most
will be after few weeks use when
you will actually see new hair-fine

BOURBON FARMING CONDITIONS


Tobacco cutting has occupied the |
attention Of the Bourbon county
farmers during the past week and
they have been putting in their best
ticks to get the remunerative weed
housed before the frost gets at it.
The biggest job now staring the
farmers in the face is the forthcom-
ing sowing of rye, wheat and barley.
Corn, however, is still green, and
will not be ready to cut for a week
or so, the numerous rains having
kept it in this state.
Almost all the hemp in this county
is in the shock, and the time for
corn shocking has not yet arrived.
Hogs are bringing good prices, sew
enteen cents on foot being the pre-
vailing price. Good prices have
been demanded for the young mules
which have been raised here this sea-
son, and there have been quite a
number of buyers from other States
prospecting for this class of stock
in this vicinity. There have been
more horses and older mules offered
for sale as we'll as younger ones
than for several seasons past. The
recent rains have made the fall
grass good, and this will be advant-'
ageous for all kinds of stock.
Plenty of beans are yet to be had,
and watermelons and canteloupes
are abundant and delicious. The
last straggly grapes have been gath
cred and many are busy converting
green tomatoes, peppers and onions
into pickles. Tomatoes have sold
as high as 1925 per bushel during
the past week, and potatoes very
scarce owing to the drouth, are now
being sold at $1.40 to $1.60 per
bushel. Roasting cars are tender and
are now being sold at thirty cents per
dozen. Eggs are selling at fifty
cents per dozen, and it is very hard
to get cream for butter, because
foreign markets are offering nearly
50 per gallon for good cream, and
feed is so high that farmers are
profiting by selling the cream.

WIFE WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

A minister home from the trenches
has been recounting his experiences
among the Scotch regiments, and one
of the interesting stories he tells Of
a wounded Jock whom he found
rather depressed and on being asked
whether he would like to dictate a
letter home, he assented, says Tit
Bits. Thereupon the minister
brought table with writing mate
rails to his bedside. However, he
found Jock tongue-tied and unable to
begin, so much so that the parson
said, after q while:
Come along, now; I'm in hurry.
We must make start"
What will I sy?"
No reply.
Twill I begin, My dear wife?'"
aye" said Jock, ''pit that doom.
That'll amuse her."
