STAGE Names and Real.

The extent to which favorite &C
tresses are somebody else off the stage
is not we'll understood. Actors gener
ally play under their own names, but
the woman who has achieved a repu.
tation before marriage prefers to re-
tain the name under which she became
known rather than assume that Of her
husband. Some women, too, play
while unmarried under another name
than the real one.
For instance, Maude Adams is really
Miss Kiskadden, and Marie Dressler
is Leila Koerber. Jack and Ethel Bar
rymore are properly called Blythe. and
Truly Shattuck is Clarice Etrulia de
Bucharde, a name rather too long for
the stage. Theater goers seem to like
short names easily remembered. TriXie
FriganZa is really Della Edna C'Calla-
IAN. and Mary Mannering is Florence
Friend; Elsie Janis was formerly Elsie
BORROWER. and Margaret Anglin is
Mary Warren. And so it goes through
the hst.--Boston Herald.

Camera Men and War Pictures.
The camera man in search of lively
war pictures often enjoys the prOtec-
ton of a special guard, which is espe-
cially detailed to protect him. Since
the camera does not shoot as far as a
gun, the photographer often works at

era makes a conspicuous target and
often draws the enemy's fire. The spe-
cial camera guard. which originated In
one of the early Villa campaigns i'll
Mexico, consists of two picked men,
perhaps mole, who accompany the pho
tographer or skirmish ahead of him to
render his position as safe as possible
when the camera is set up. Many
thousands of feet of war film have
been made while sharpshooters on
both sides kept up a steady and effec-
tive fire. A guard of two American In
dams, both crack shots, were employed
for many weeks to protect L. M.

accompanied Villa in one Of his cam
paigns. The Indians stealth and dar-

The police and military power of
the entire country is organized in a
stern and ruthless campaign to elm
mate from the face Of nature individ-
uals caught carrying explosives with
out explicit permission from Uncle
Sam. This is in accordance with an
act passed by the last Congress and
effective November 18th Francis S.
Peabody Of Chicago, one of the lead
ing coal dealers, has been appointed
to enforce the law. The mere fact of
having explosives in possession will
render a liability of $4,000 fine and
prison for one year. For those going
far enough to blow up factories or
bridges, in fact any sort of explosive
work Of damaging nature, a SEN
tence OF twenty-five years awaits.

u. S. FIXES BREAD LOAF
STANDARD SIZES co INTO EFFECT
in DECEMBER,

WashingtOn-All bakeries are to be
put under government license Dec. 1C
and made subject to food administra-
ton rules governing ingredients and
weights OF lOaVes, according to Pres
ident Wilson'S program
The effect will be to standardize
bread, eliminate waste in distribution
and to gradually force prices for
pound loaves downward, perhaps to
Z or 8 cents a loaf.
While prices are not to be fixed
fancy breads are to be eliminated and
all bread baked in regular sizes OF
one, one and half, two and four
pounds, with q midway crease on each
to permit the sale of half loaf. Fix
ed standard weights are to let CON
sumers know which loaf is really the
cheapest.
The formula TO be used by bakers
is subject to the following restric-
tons:
A maximum Of three pounds of
sugar per barrel of -four, instead of
six pounds. This is expected to save
100, 100000 pounds Of sugar a year.
A maximum Of two pounds of short
ening per barrel Of -four, instead OF
six. Use of vegetable oil substitutes
is required. This will mean a saving
of 100000,000 pounds Of lard annually
Only skinned milk may be used. It
is stated that "the miscropic amount
of butter fat in whole milk bread
gives no adequate compensation for
it's USE"
Rolls may be made only when bak-
ed of the same dough as bread. This
will mean he elimination of many va
rites Of fancy rolls.
Another requirement is that the
bakers shall not accept returned
loaves of bread. The amount of flour
lost in this manner amounts to $780,
900 barrels year

PRAIRIE DU CHEN HUNTER
SHOOTS ALBTNO DUCK.

c. M. Brooks, a hunter living near
Prairie du Lhien, Wis, has a queer
duck for a trophy and has had it
mounted to preserve as a curiosity.

fields of the Mississippi near Prairie

to tip of tail and has red eyes. The
bird was flying in a large flock of
ducks and was plainly distinguish
able from the rest a lonk ways off.
White blackbirds, white robins,
English sparows, and even white
crows have been known, but hunters
who have hunted ducks for life time
on the Mississippi-the greatest mig
ratory highway for acQuatic birds in
the. world, say it is the first white
wild duck they have ever seen or
heard Of
They are puzzled to understand,
conspicuous in appearance as it is,
how the duck was ever permitted to
grow to maturity and get this far
south without being shot.
Like the white blackbird, the white
duck is an albinO, bird students say
ing albinOs occur in the animal king
dom as well as in the human race.

START WITH EVE LAMBS
Stock Which Is Cheaper and Has
More Desirable Blood

FOR inexperienced sheep raisers
there are several important advant
ages in purchasing eve lambs instead
/ OF mature breeding ewes. In the
first place, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, the ewes of
breeding age that are offered for sale
are mostly western ewes with a long
wool cross, while the eve lambs COM
ing from the West are mostly black
faced, lambs, thus showing cross of
some Of the Down breeds, which is
the kind of blood most farmers wish
to have in their fiocks. By buying such
eve lambs one gets the advantage Of
starting with the first cross of the
type to be used in grading up a flock
to the mutton type.
Moreover, good breeding ewes are
selling high. Lower prices are IN
likely, as the demand is strong and
the available supply is small With
probable high prices for mutton and
wool in the future the farmer who un-
derstand sheep and will properly care
for them from the start has good pros
poets of success.
Lambs Cost Less
While breeding stock is selling high,
the eve lambs can be bought at about
SIS a head less than breeding ewes.
This is an important point in start
ing a flock, although until the lambs
come to breeding age no returns
from the flock will be forthcoming ex-
cept the wool clip. However, for the
beginner in sheep husbandry, no bet
ter plan Of obtaining experience could
be adopted than in caring for flock
of eve lambs for a year. The ex-
perience gained in wintering eve
lambs and managing the flock through
out the summer season would be in
valuable.
Investment in a flock Of eve lambs
will give the advantage of the first
cross Of blood of the Down breeds,
lower price. and necessarv experience.
The wool clip will at least offset the
first years keep and the yearling ewes
will be a benefit to weedy pastures
next spring if moved frequently and
not stocked so heavily as to eat the
grass into the ground. Those who con-

IN MEMORIAM- MRS. SENAH
PERRIN

"And if I go and prepare place for
you, [ will come again, and receive
you unto myself; that where l am,
there We may be ALSO" John 14-3
Senah A. eldest daughter of James
and Eliza Wilson was born at LaSalle,
ILL.,, March 8, 1851. A few years later
the family moved to Wisconsin. Here
she grew to womanhood and Dec. 25,
1869, married Jas. Tindell at Beetown.
To this union nine children were
born, two dying in infancy. Some
years later they moved to Hamilton,
Mo-, where Mr. TindelI worked in the
mines. Here he met his death in
1892. Suddenly thrown on her own
resources the noble little woman re-
solved to make every effort to keep
her family together. They engaged
in farming and by her tireless energy
and judicious management very sue
cessfully accomplished her purpose.
After her children reached maturity
and established homes of their own,
she again resided at Hamilton Here
she married Chas. A. Perrin of Bee
town, Wis, Jan. z, 1908. A sister of
his first wife she possessed the same
good qualities and with rare ability
continued her work.
By careful and quiet consideration
of her husbands chosen religion she
was convinced of the truth therein,
she therefore united with the Reor-
ganized church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints to which faith she
firmly adhered to the end.
She departed this life Oct. II, 1917
She leaves to mourn her, her husband
Chas A. Perrin, and children, Martin,
Arthur and Bert, Hamilton, Mo-, Ray
and Ross, Cameron, Mo-, Eliza Champ

The funeral services were held at
Beetown where Rev. Flint gave a
brief but able discourse. This was
followed by the ceremonies of the
Royal Neighbors. The remains were
conveyed to Cassville and thence by
rail to her sons home in Hamilton,
Mo. Oct. 20, she was laid to rest in
the beautiful cemetery near her old
home.

ers have been licensed this year, an
increase of 800 over last year. There
are in use in the state 5000 motor
cycles, about the same number as in
1916. No application for 1918 licenses
will be accepted at the secretary of

the entire community suffers a severe
loss. She was rarely gifted in the art
OF making friends and could we'll be
termed the genius of the pleasant

she was a fitting companion for her

unfortunate and during her life help
ed to brighten the lives of those with
whom she came in contact often
making a great effort to aid those
most needy.
Though crowned with the silver
hair of advancing age, Mrs. Perrin
was never considered old by those
who knew her best It has been well
said of her that cher interest in young
people kept her young"
The enjOyments Of this life were
very dear to her but when she found
that death was imminent she had no
fear but longed for that land where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt y
Surrounded by those she held most
dear she quietly departed this life.
Her memory lives, stamped indelibly
on the hearts and minds of those who
are left behind.
Sometimes, l think the things we
see,
Are shadows of the things to be;
That what we plan, we build.
That every hope that hath been
