A WATER SOAKED TOWN.
Where Nearly a Foot of Rain FailS
 Every Week in the Year.

ENery "GSR ih htl9 sNAi'
 Tt Is a remarkable fact that In h. dis. one of the most arid countries in the world, there Is one spot that has the record rainfall of the whole earth, v said pr. William Roberts, British asrt- cultural expert in India, to a corre- spondent of the Washington Post This place Is Cherapunji, In Assam. It Is in the path of the monsoon and tn a valley, and there is almost con- stant rainfall.
 '-The average rainfall is 600 inches a year. or fifty feet, which Is nearly a foot a week. This seems almost be- vond comprehension when 1t Is constd- cred that the rainfall of the United States, for instance, ranges from six teen tO thlrty-fve inches En some places there have been as high as six ty-five inches of water in 8 year, bug this Is the exception.
 During the rainy season in Chera' punH the waterfall is heaviest but there Is rain throughout the year. Not vtthstandlng thls terrific moisture, the inhabitants Of the district raise vege' tables and grain. They do this by building terraces which carry the wa fer off"

PAYING THE DOCTOR
Should lt Be For Curing You or For
 Keeping You WellH


 We haven't yet learned to take ad- vantage of the resources of civilization to anything like the extent We might. For instance, We wait until we get sick, and then We pay the doctor to help us get well It would be much more sensible to pay him to help us keep from getting sick.
 Fantastic idea, you say. Not at all. It already is working in a large mum Der of college communities, right here in the state universities of Missouri and Kansas, for instance In both m- sttutlons the pupil is charged a Tee which Is applied to safeguarding his health. In the University of Missouri the plan Is still further developed 80 that the fee covers medical and sur gicgl attendance. The health work in both schools Is SO interesting, not only for what 1t Is doing for the pupils, but for the example 1t Is setting other com munites, that It is only right and proper to call attention to 1t.
 The important point is that these uni versailles and other schools are proving that health can be made much more Of a community matter than had been supposed and that the wise thing to do Is for groups to pay medical men 10 keep them well.-Kansas City Star.

Cold Rice.

Cold rice should never be thrown away-eyen the smallest quantity can be used. It can be added to any soup. 4 good omelet can be made from a mixture of minced meat and rice added to the eggs. It can be used in dessert in the form of a plain rice pudding or a rice custard. Left over meat can be chopped and mixed with cold rice, then moistened with gravy and put tn a baking dish. Cover with breadcrumbs and bake.

PERSONAL OPINION
Men Too Old to Fight Can Uphold Hands
 of Government
By Major General JOHN F. ORYAN' Commanding the New York
 National Guard
DUBLIC opinion is a more impor-

DUBLIC opinion is a more impor- ] tant factor in war than arms
 and ammunition, and criti- cism, alarms and the expression of worthless opinion are MORE DAN CIRCUS THAN THE ENEMY'S SHELL FIRE.
 Many men over thirty years of age have asked me what they could do to serve their country, and l have answered: You who remain at home will form public opinion. In Russia it overthrow the czar. How much more could it accomplish in this country. Suppress your ad- verse comment and impatience. Such things are a detriment to the government and the cause you say you wish to serve
 IT IS OUR DUTY TO GIVE EX- PRESSlCN TO NOTHING THAT DOES NOT REPRESENT GOOD WILL TOWARD THcsE WHO ARE NOW OUR LEADERS.
 Oddly enough, many who cannot fight are urging haste and express ing inpatience on account of Amer ica's "tardiness." Should We rush in, in accordance with their advice, there might be another Bull Run.
 It doesn't take long to teach the details of military routine to the character of men we are now get ting into the army.
 THEIR BRAINS ARE TRAINED, AND A FEW WEEKS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING AND DISCIPLINE CON- VERT THEM INTO FIGHTING MEN THE EQUAL OF THOSE OF ANY NATION.

Leather for shoe manufacturing pur- poses comes under two broad classifi- cations, upper leather and sole leather. These. as their names apply, are used respectively for the sole and for the other portions of the shoe. The upper feathers most commonly used are calf skin, Coltsliin or horsehide and kid. Calfskin comes in various finishes patent, wax, bright, dull, boarded and velvet. Coltskln and horsehide are used principally as the bases for pat ent leather, but they are also employed in dull finish for mems high grade shoes. Kid may be glazed, patent, peb- bled or morocco, according to the tan- ming process.-New York Post.
 An excellent polish for hardwood floors may be made at home by putting one pint of turpentinc into a jar and adding to it one-half pound of beeswaI cut into as small pieces as possible. This should be put into a warm place where it will melt slowly and may be stirred frequently with a slender stick. When thoroughly dissolved rub little on the floor with q flannel cloth and then polish with the usual floor pol isher or pad. This may be used also for polishing tables. Care must be taken not to use too much of the polish or the wood will become sticky and 1t will be difficult to get the desired re- suit of q smooth, even gloss.-St. Louis Post-DiSpatch.

OFFERS PREMIUMS FOR GROVES

To encourage the growing OF
groves in this vicinity, the State
Bank of Ladysmith, will pay pre-
miums as follows:
Four years from this date we
will pay $500 premium for the
best showing of grove and shade
trees on farms within six miles of
Ladysmith, $4,000 on second best,
$1,000 on third best, $1,000 on fourth
best.
The decision shall be rendered by
uninterested people at that time.
This amount Of money will more
than pay for all expense necessary
in growing. Past experience teaches
US that the best results On these
lines have been obtained by the
use of such material as any farm
er has at or near his home. NO
native trees will be allowed as they
are not sufficiently rooted to stand
the wind Native trees may be ta-
ken up and replanted as shade trees
but it is not the best or cheapest
way. About forty shade trees along
the street and about the house will
be required in this test
We will write next week as to
how We believe the best way to
operate and what we will require.
