the "great gale" that 1 am blowing
up
"'Oh, well,' said the Sea Fairies,
you can't please everyone. We're sat
isfied, so that's enough praise for you
today, Mr.. Wind. And we know you
help Mother Ocean. But we like to
tease you sometimes by giving Mother
Ocean all the praise. 1t never fails to
make you very madp
"T suppose that is what you like
said Mr.. Wind.
"'Of course said the Sea Fairies.
Then you blow up into a rage and we
have more fun than ever, and the
breaker boats go so wonderfully
"T should say they did, said one
poor little Sand Fairy, who had been
knocked over and over all the time
the Sea Fairies and the wind had been
talking. For the breaker boats had
gone on with many of the other Sea
Fairies in them. The Sea Fairies
wore their fluffy white dresses and
their green shoes and stockings. Such
gorgeous green shoes and stockings
as they were! And their collars and
hats were like glorious white rufIles-
all made by old Mother Ocean.
"All of the Sea Fairies were now
back in their boats and how the
breaker boats did toss and break |!
They roared with the fun, and the low,
deep voice of Mother Ocean murmured
all the time:
"'That is right, my children; en-
Joy yourselves. You are so beautiful,
so young, so active. 1t does my old
watery heart good to see you.'
"And the Sea Fairies went on rolling
back and forth in the breaker boats.
"They tossed over the sand by the
shore and the Sand Fairies who had
come out to play with them were
moved this way and that. But they
liked 1t, for the breaker boats like the
Sand Fairies and sometimes bring
them queer gifts from old Mother
Oceans storeroom, deep down in the
| sea.
"And while the Sea Fairies and the
Sand Fairies were enjoying the Won
derful breaker boats, the children by
the shore were saying:
"'Oh, how high the breakers are

Camouhaue,

A remarkable Interpretation of the
British national raracteristic-reser
appears in the Century, entitled
Camouflage. 1t is the story Of two
young people on the eve Of the hus-
bands going to battle.
For the benefit of those who may
not be acquainted with what camou-
hage means, 1t might be truthfully de-
scribed as a thin veil drawn over great
events.
There are endless varieties of
camouflage, and endless uses to which
1t may be put. A great white road Is
concealed from the enemy's lines by
hedge Of thinly plated twigs-camou-
fiage. An observation point hidden in
the heart Of haystack-camouflage.
A mighty gun masked by an awning
OF fishermen's nets, sprinkled with
dead leaves-camouflage. A corpse
brought in from no-man's land and re-
placed by a live man, who watches
what Is toward In the Hun trenches
again camouflage. But, perhaps, the
subtlest variety of all Is the kind that
men and women devise to screen their
real emotions from one another and the
world"

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness Ing
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
u moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv

TEST 0STRICHES BY SPEED
Buying Agents Select swiftest Birds,
as This ls Good Indication Of
Their Health.

In selecting ostriches for menageries
or geological gardens the swiftest are
chosen, not because 1t will be neces-
sary for them to run In their new quar-
tiers, but because swiftness Is a good
indication of health and robustness.
A buying agent visited a pen of os-
triches in Africa. At his call two beau
tiful birds came up to him. Being de-
sirous Of testing their speed, he ar
ranged with the keeper that they
should run u race. So he caressed the
birds and showed them handful of
figs, Of which they are very fond.
The ostriches were held while the
visitor walked to a certain distance.
At signal they were set free and be-
gan to run for the figs. They came
bounding along at a terrific rate, TAX
ing twelve or fourteen feet at stride.
They ran neck and neck for more
than half the distance, their wings
working like arms and making a great
sound.
Presently one drew ahead and, look
ing behind, as you may have noticed
boy in q foot-race do, to see where
his rival was, and finding him beaten,
the winner slackened his pace and
gently trotted up for the prize of figs

IMPROVED QUALITY OF EGGS
This May Be Brought About by Care
full Selection for Incubation
Use Old Hens.

CBy T. E. QrIsENBERRY, Missourl.)
How are we to breed so that we may
improve the quality of the eggs? We
know 1t to be a fact that hen lays
essentially the same color and shape
egg year in and year out. OF course
we know that the first eggs of a pull
let are small and will gradually in
crease in size until they reach their
normal state. We also know that in
varieties of poultry which lay brown
eggs the last eggs of sitter" will be
somewhat lighter in color than will
the first eggs laid, so we can see that
the shape and color of an egg changes
slightly.
In attempting to breed to improve
the quality Of eggs, we advise the Sc
lection Of eggs for incubation only of
Mexico Missouri message., 1917-05-24

the kind which you wish to produce.
If you want dead-white eggs, do not
incubate any that are tinted in the
least. If you want q pure, uniform
brown egg, then select only that kind.
See that none of them weigh less than
two ounces and are of the perfect
shape which you desire, and all Of
sound, smooth shell. Use males for
mating with these selected hens that
were Matched from hens that, lay the
same kind of an egg. Use the same
process of selection the following year,
and in a short period of time you will
find that the number of eggs which
will have to be culled cut will grow
gradually less and less. A much larger
percentage of your eggs will grade as
firsts.
1t is advisable to use hens for breed
ing purposes because they lay larger
egg than the pullets, and they lay
fewer eggs in the fall and winter and
are in much better condition for
breeding purposes in the spring
months than are the pullets.

Three men went out for a days

A storm came up, and two Of them
thought they were going to be drowned.
The third was asleep in the bottom Of

they wished done with their bodies in
the event of either being saved. One
wished to be cremated; the other to be
sent home to his wife.
Then they asked the one in the bot

SMALL EGGS LACK VITALITY
Reject All Those Weighing Less Thar
Two Ounces for Hatching-
Also Those Misshapen.

There is good reason to believe that
small eggs and lack of vitality go to-
gether. Reject for setting purposes
all eggs that weigh less than two
ounces each, for small eggs produce
small chicks.
A breeder has no business to send
out small, misshapen eggs and if such
are received the buyer has good cause
to expect poor results.
