be because the smaller limbs which
grow away from the larger limbs OF

the outside of the tree.

knot occurs, says the Book Of Won

You will also find that the wood In
the knot ~ harder generally than the

more strength is required at the base

which grew inside the tree than In
other parts, for the limb must be strcne

Eye Can II Be Seen.
What is the simplest demonstration
of the fact that light is inyisiblef
The blackness Of midnight sky
demonstrates this fact most readily.

BILE on the dust IN the air, and the cone
of light seen when the sun shines
through small hole I'm shutter is
not visible, but only light reflected
from the notes in the beam. This
can be easily and simply demonstrated
by placing in the beam glass vessel
from which the dust has been careful
" removed. The beam then may be
seen before and behind the vessel, but
is invisible within. A Bunsen burner

Going to bed in India is very differ

To begin with. 1t Is far less formal
process. There is In the hot season no
shutting OF the door no cutting your
self off from the outer world, no going
upstairs, and finally no getting into

bed, which, with It's bedding. Is so sim
pie as to be worth describing. The bed
Is a wooden frame with a webbing

Salt.

Superstitions concerning salt are
among the earliest known to mankind
There is much evidence In holy writ
about the ceremonial uses of 1t, and the
old Mosaic law commands that every
sacrifice of meat Offering shall h,
seasoned with it, Homer calls II di.
vine, and many Of the old Tcuton races
looked on salt springs as holy and wor.
SHIPPED at them. The origin OF this sil-
perstition seems to be that since salt
cannot corrupt 1t should be regarded as
symbol Of Immortality

anything by it. By being well
prepared and thoroughly mo-
bolized Switzerland may hope
to avoid trouble with Germany
or the alignment of democracy

may cause the little republic
to think strongly of joining the

would like to see the war ter

HOW WILL YOU FEEL. If
FAMINE COMES?

nS the banner farming coun-
lA ty of the state of Oregon
much is expected of Uma-
tilla county this summer, in
connection with the campaign
for extra foodstuff production.
Will the county measure up to
its possibilities or become a
Stacker?
The answer will be known
shortly because the seed time
will soon be over. 1t will then
be too late to raise any special
crops and the best opportunity
for service viii be gone.
In numerous cases farmers
are cooperating actively with
a view to doing their part
towards enlarging the food
supply. On the other hand
there are many having land
available for crops who have
refrained from making use of
it all all.
If the war situation tightens
and the country faces a food
famine who will feel the best
in his own heaEt the man
who has tried to do something
for the nation or the man who
through one reason or another
has refused to wake up and do
his part?
Think it over and think
quickly before it is too late to
act.
