WARNS AGAINST FAKE
POULTRY INSPECTORS
State College Tells Farmers to BE
Careful of "$5-per-GallOn''
Men.

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE
PULLMAN, Dec. 14.-Information
lately received by the poultry divi-
sion of the State College indicates
that in parts Of Washington persons
pretending to be official inspectors
from the State College, the state de-
partment of agriculture, or the
United States department of agricul-
ture, are visiting poultry flocks, in
specting them and then, alleging that
the flocks are in bad condition, selling
the flock owners an alleged poultry
spray" at IS a gallon.
In reply, to inquiries received, the
poultry division of the college is re-
plying that neither the State College,
the state department of agriculture,
or the United States department OF
agriculture has flock inspectors in
the field, and that whoever appears
in this guise, offering to sell poultry
dip at IS a gallon, should be turned
over to the police.
w. X. Whitaker, poultry club or
ganizer for the State College, states
further that the poultry division is
able to supply inquirers with direc-
lions for making efficient sprays at
from 10 to Is cents a gallon.

Contract Basis.
Maintaining that the present meth
cd of operating the rural free deliv-
cry service is extravagant and waste
full. that carriers are paid 33 per cent
more than the service is worth and
estimating that he can save not less
than $20,000.0OO year. Postmaster
General Burleson in his annual re-
port urges that the rural service be
placed on the contract basis.
Mr.. Burleson finds that the cost
of travel by star route contractors is
$.1024 per mile; the cost of rural
service averages $3.50, difference
of nearly 5 cents. Rural carriers
cover 1,112.5SO miles daily, and ii
rural service could be operated at
the present average cost of star route
service the government could save
$54,071 per day, or nearly, he says

Shotquns In War.

That shotguns should be largely ut1-
lied in modern warfare Is the conten-
ton Of a number Of military experts.
It is pointed out that such guns would
be particularly useful to sentries at
night time, as an intruder might more
easily be crippled and captured by a
spreading charge Of heavy shot than by
a single bullet. Moreover, person
moving quickly might often be missed
by q shot from a rifle, whereas snap
shot from a shotgun In semidarkness
could hardly fail to find its object.
In the trenches shotguns could be
used with success. A shotgun loaded
with about forty-eight grains Of pow
der and one and a half ounces OF big
shot, with about twenty-five pellets,
would be Of much more value than the
rifle, as during a night attack, either
for attack or defense In semidarhess,
a single charge would hardly fail to In.
f1ict serious wounds ON one or more OF
the enemy.-Exchange.

= Outside the House.

How many beautiful homes on which
money has been spent lavishly to make
them complete are mared by some de-
feet in the landscape work! A few
hours motor trip through the suburbs
of almost any city in the country will
reveal many such cases. The most IRE
quent jar the trained eye receives is
from the poorly laid out walks and
driveways in which badly arranged
curves are used or walks made to curve
around an oval grass plot placed in the
center for no other reason than to
make pedestrians take time to circle
about that particular grass plot Post
men, messenger boys and others take
short cut, and soon a path in the
proper direction is worn across the sod.
When a curve is used In a walk or
driveway there should be a reason for
1t. If there is no other reason plant
one; place a tree or two or shrubs in a
position so the curve will seem neces-
sary. People then will keep on the
walk, and the plan will seem reason
able.-New York Sun.

The Swiss Admiral.

"As much business as Swiss ADM.
raP' is term sometimes used satirical.
". But the little inland nation actual.
" had an admiral once. He was an
Englishman, too, a Colonel Williams,
who Joined the Swiss colors in 1888
This Colonel Williams got together a
small fleet on Lake Zurich and was or
dered to oppose the French army, which
was preparing to attack the Austrians
and Russians massed near by.
The French attacked their allied foes
and routed them. Admiral Williams
calmly watched the battle that was In
progress on land. Then, enraged at his
own inaction, he discharged his crews
scuttled his vessels and went back to
England.
Switzerland now has one armored
boat on Lake Lucerne, but its com.

FALLING Up Out of a Balloon.

II a man falls out of a rising aero
plane or balloon he will not go toward
the earth, but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciable time. II
the air machine were stopped In its
ascent at the time It could catch the
man as he came down. If the airship
were ascending at the rate Of thirty
two feet a second the man would rise
sixteen feet before beginning to fall
toward the earth. Thus, by reducing
the speed Of its ascent the vessel
might keep by the side Of the man and
rescue him. The reason why the man
rises Is the same a the reason Tor q
bullets rising when shot from . gun
into the air-both the man and the
bullet are given q velocity upward, and
70 takes some tims Cor gravity b Mega

Usina the Scrub Palmetto.

Once a prolific and troublesome waste
product throughout Florida, the scrub
palmetto is now being developed into
an asset of great possibilities Not
only has it been discovered that paper
Of good quality can be made from 1t,
but the manufacture Of carpets, mat
tings, twines, rope and burlap from the
plant is already an industry Of high
standing in the state. Only the green
leaf, or fan, Is used. Claim Is made
that the palmetto leaves when shred
ded and spun are very much tougher
than the grass now used for mattings.
The green leaves are fed just as they
are cut into the shredding and spinning
machines, and In three minutes they
come out in Irvine. This avoids the
discolorations and losses occasioned In
drying, storing and handling grasses
commonly used for mating. Palmetto
can be cut every day In the year and
Immediately made into Irvine. The
skeins Of Irvine when hung up dry rap
idly and uniformly. The Irvine Is used

MAKING a Maunet,

The simplest way Of magnetizing a
bar of steel is that known as single
touch" The bar to be magnetized is
laid on the table, and the pole Of a
powerful magnet is rubbed from ten to
twenty times along its length, always
in the same direction. If the north pole
of the magnet is employed the end Of
the bar first touched will also become
a north pole, while the opposite end, at
which the magnet is lifted before re-
turning, will be n south pole.
There are other and more complicat-
ed methods, known as divided touch"
and double touch," in which two and
even four magnets are employed.
A steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing it within a coil of insulated
wire, through which galvanic current
is circulating. The magnetism induced
in this way, however, is weak COM
pared with that which can be procured
if the same strength Of current is en-
ployed through the Intervention Of an
electromagnet.

Salt and Toothbrushes.

Our dentist tells us a very interest
ing thing. Ordinary salt Is one Of
the best methods for sterilizing tooth
brushes that are known. But not only
because it sterilizes Is it so excellent,
but because it has the effect Of soften
ing the bristles and making them ex-
pand in a way. One Of the troubles so
frequently met with Is that the bristles
come out and are swallowed, causing
appendicitis. The salt causes the bris-
ties to swell and so remain in the
brush. This may be but another of
the several million theories. It is i'm
portant, however, that bristles do cause
appendicitis.-New York Globe.

is never afraid of directing his criti-

An amusing reference was once made
to the fiery methods Of denunciation
he employs when In the pulpit. He
had been preaching in Rome and had,
as usual, dealt out plain truths about
everybody with his accustomed force.

he preached like an Italian. YES"

What Ara You WORTH

Have you any idea? Did you ever
capitalize your wages and figure II
out? This Is the way to ascertain how
much your labor Is really worth.
For instance, man who has saved
800. 900 and invested it at per cent re.
ceiyes an annual income Of $1,000 q
year. or about $40 week
The clerk in the office or the work
man In the factory who gets $40 q
week therefore receives the income al
8 DER cent on an investment Of 10000.
He is a $4,000 man-that is, he Is
getting as much week by week as the
man with $4,000 who depends solely
upon the income from his Investment:
and who does not work for a living.
The man who earns $40 week ha'
about the same income as the investor
with $4,000 put out at interest at
per cent
So labor is capital. 1t has a marke
value. 1t can be called a commod1t!
because it can be sold by its owner tn

Life of q Battieship.

have been completed, launched and for
how long they have been commission
ed. There are probably few people,
however, who know how long a bat
tleship lasts. The average life Of a
modern battleship Is about fifteen
years. In the old days a battleship
was on active service nearly the whole
time Of its commission, which was
about hundred years.

1910, was not "scrapped" until 1873
