Fog Worried by Food Problem.

1t is not often that the sly fox re-
veals to man his method Of securing
his daily rations; 80 that men Of Cam
ton Centre, Conn. who were hauling
logs were quite surprised recently to
see large red fox on the hillside only
about ten rods from the team. He was
not the least bit disturbed. Suddenly
he leaped into the air. and pounced
onto the snow. This operation was re-
peated several times, the fox jump
ing several feet into the air each time,
He was doubtless trying to break
through the crust and catch the mice
which he heard burrowing under the
snow. The hard. deep snow makes II
much harder for the foxes to catch the
little animals except when they are
running for cover.-HartfOrd Courant

Wednesday morning at the Taber-

kinsville High School gave its annual
class day program. A large crowd
of the friends and patrons of the

the audience with a piano solo. Miss
Marguerite Rives then read the class
history, after which Mr.. Preston
Haynes sang 'The Sunshine of Your
Smile" Mr.. Haynes is one OF the
best boy singers in this region and
all were delighted with his song.
Miss Adele Taylor, class prophet,
gave the annual prophecy in the form
of letters, supposed to have been
written in the distant future. This
was very unique and brought forth
hearty applause. Miss Marguerite
Rives next sang Somewhere Voice
is Calling" This song is a school ia
vorite and was rendered in faultless
style.
Miss Mary Joe Wallace, class histo-
rian, caused much merriment by her
clever way of playing on the whims
and weaknesses of her classmates in
her gifts, particularly when she gave

Since wheat and.rye flour became 50
scarce in Europe, substitutes have been

the more or less satisfactory substi-

How spinsters Got Their Mama.

From the early ninth century to the
end Of the middle of the nineteenth
century, spinning was the chief -occu-
patton Of woman. A young woman
was called spinster because she spun.
If she became married she did, as a
matter of course. take her married
title. but If she remained unmarried
she continued to be called spinster.
From this has the name splnster sur
vived for the torment and pleasure of

good as well as that which says that

morning is the sailors warning"
