PLACED UPON WAITING LIST
Neighbors Who Undertake to Admin lister Rebuke to Bibulous One Get
 an Unexpected Answer.

Fallen from a state of refined inde- pendence to the position of q "ne'er- do-weeT' through overindulgence in liquor, his prosperous but very coarse neighbors determined among them selves one day, as they saw him com ing unsteadily along, to give him a nasty fall by asking for the loan of what they knew he never had upon him-the sum of one shilling, says Lon don Tit-Bits.
 "Gentlemen," said he, straightening himself into a most dignified and pat ronizing attitude, "I keep but one shil- ling for the purpose of loans. I regret exceedingly that at the moment 1t should happen to be out" Then, finn bling in his inner breast pocket for his pocketbook and pencil, he remarked as he made short note, "But it has given me great pleasure to put your names down for the next turn. Communicate with me again a little later on. Morn ing, gentlemen"

Plan Great Chemical Plant.

There is an interesting proposition backed by French and American capi- tai, to establish great chemical plant in the Telemarken district of Norway At the start 100000 horse power will be required, and it is proposed to make use of the Marr falls in Tim, which will not only supply the amount of power required, but as much again, and the plans of the company con- template that an enlargement will be necessary at once, so that the full pow CT of the waterfalls will be utilized almost from the beginning. Besides this there are a number of other falls in the vicinity which are available, and 1t is thought that it will be but a few years before those will also be utilized.

Find Substitutes for Flour.

Since wheat and rye flour became so scarce in Europe. substitutes have been sought even for such purposes as thick ening the electrolyte of dry batteries. Waterglass, kieselguhr, gelatin, saw dust, starch and glass wool are among the more or less satisfactory substi- tutes, and base or binder for the elecs trolyte is obtained by using one of these substances or a mixture of two or more. This binder is made to ab- sorb the electrolyte, which may be a concentrated solution made by stirring into distilled water, at about 100 de grees Fahrenheit, mixture of 80 parts of sal ammOniac, so of calcium acetate, as of zinc, chloride and 10 of glycerin. This paste, applied between the bat tery plates and covered with paraffin with gas vents, is claimed to retain it's pasty condition, without crystallizing or absorbing moisture.

Why Buffalo Disappeared.

In German East Africa the giraffes damage telegraph systems by rubbing their long necls against the wires This sort of thing is not new. When the first overland telegraph was car ried across the American continent to San Francisco the buffaloes, which then swarmed in countless herds on the plains of Kansas and eastern Colorado, used to rub their shaggy hides against these poles with such vigor and zest as to push them down almost as fast as they were put up. In order to discourage them the poles were studded with six-inch iron spikes. the pointed ends outward. The result, however, did not come up to expecta- tions. The buffalOes apparently con- sidered the spikes an added luxury and indulged in a perfect orgy of scratching. Eventually armed guards were set to patrol the SGO miles of track running through the buffalo country, and in the course of a single year more than 225,O0O animals were shot

Fox Worried by Food Problem.

It is not often that the sly fox re- veals to man his method of securing his daily ratiOns; so that men of Can ton Centre, Conn.,, who were hauling logs were quite surprised recently to see a 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 bounced onto the snow. This operation was re- peated several times, the fox jump ing several feet into the air each time. He gwas doubtless trying to break through the crust and catch the mice which he heard burrowing under the snow. The hard, deep snow makes it much harder for the foxes to catch the little animals except when they are running for cover.-HartfOrd Courant

Greek Fire Gunpowder7

Mzenghelis told the Academic des Sciences in Paris recently that he had been studying the "Greek fire" used in war by the Byzantines. The descrip- tions of this say that 1t was hurled from a copper tube with a sound like thunder and with a great cloud of smoke. From this he concluded that the Byzantine Greeks had real cannon in which they used explosive mixtures with hitter as a base. Therefore the honor for the discovery of gunpowder must be given to the Engineer Callin- ious of HellopOlis, who first used 1t. destroying a Saracen fleet with it in 670 A. D.--EXchange.

The dam in the Little Colorado

The dam in the Little Colorado river at Woodruff was washed out Wednesday by the high water resulting from the heavy rains earlier in the week. The dam was being built by R. R. Webster, and the loss will fall upon him. This is the fifteenth time this dam has been destroy ed by flood waters, during the last 20 years. It seems practi- callY impossible to put in dam there that will hold against flood waters.
 In another column of the News appears an article stating that a meeting would be held in Hol- brook Sept. IT, at which Dr. C.. | D. Marsh would address the stockmen on poisonous plants. This meeting has been indefini- tely postponed because of the inability of pr. Marsh to be pre- sent.

unit Of the family and unquestion-
ably it is easier to get along pleas
antly when that unit shuts itself up
in an individual cell.
But that doesn't mean that, if nee

THRILLING DRAMA
OF WAR AT LYCEUM

The management of the Lyceum
claims todays picture as one Of the
best arranged shows even seen in this
city. Those who saw the big feature
last evening were surprised to see
such a wonderful picture. 1t is paws
of the Bear in which William Des-
mond will be seen as star This new
Triangle play is the work of J. G.
Hawks and is produced under the SUI
pervision of Thomas H. Ince.
The story deals with the adventures
of Ray Bourke, a young American
who is stranded in Belgium at the be-
ginning of the war. In an inn he
meets the Countess Olga Raminoff,
who is in the Russian secret service.
She, in moment of frenzy, shoots
and wounds a German general, and
Bourke in trying to aid her is seized
also. AS they are led out to be shot
a Belgian aeroplane sWoops down on
the village and, dropping bombs, puts
the Germans to fight, as they know
that the French are coming in force.
Bourke and the countess make
their escape and after some time meet
in America. Many realistic battle
scenes are shown as we'll as the Ger
man invasion of Belgium. Among
those prominent in the large cast are
Robert McKim, Wallace Worsley and
Charles French Reginald Barker

On the same program is another Of

General Sam Houston, that beloved
character of history and fiction, and
certain incidents that befell him
during the perilous days of the early
southwest, when the only guarantee
of the safety of your saddlebags was
the fact that they were empty. Ruling
the toughest district of the frontier,
he had a mixed people to control, in
Guiding Mexicans, Indians, and every
type of outlaw. And what he couldn't
do with his bare hands he did with
a shooting iron. Certainly a charac-
ter of this sort is ideal for the Drawn
and bravery of a Farnum, but he
was not called upon to bear the whole
burden of the work, for there were
employed to assist him something

THE CONQUEROR"
AT FOX'S TOMORROW

Tomorrow brings us that big new
spectacular Fox Standard eight-part
production THE Conqueror," in
which Fighting Bill Farnum makes
his first appearance in Standard pic
lures. Heralded from afar as un-
doubtedly the best thing that this
member of the Farnum family has
ever accomplished in his histrionic
career, it is even said by those who
know that it is better than his
brothers recent success, 1.-THE Spy"
which was seen here last week. At
any rate, it isn't too much to expect
corking good picture with such a
star and such a cast, several of the
best of whom played prominent roles
in '"The Honor System" and when
the fact is added that '"The Conquer
orr is staged by Raoul Walsh, who
directed "The Honor SYSTEM" there
can be no doubt that Farnums first
production will be worthy one with
which to inaugurate his Standard ac-
tivities. The story of the picture has
