American manhood, attracted Bertha
as she had never been before, and
her sympathetic responses struck an
answering chord in the young mans
nature. When after dinner they
were found together in a corner in a
lively conversation, Mrs. Fancher
very promptly interrupted and saw
to it the Offense was not repeated.
For was not Murray Powers one of
the most desirable catches in the
whole town, and why should he be
wasted on a poor. relation when
there were manageable daughters
in the field?
A man of character may be manip-
ulated and managed by designing
mammas and their daughters for a
while, but is not be DETECTED from his
course when he has determined on a
thing. so Powers asked Bertha if he
might call, and receiving permission,
promptly did so. Still a cabal of
mothers is something to be reckoned
with, and Mrs. Powers getting wind
that her son had called on a miIliner
cOntrived to have him sent to Cana
da on business.
Mrs. Townsend hearing of the
matter chuckled and invited her
niece to dinner with her alone. Ber-
tina was rather nOncommittaI. but
the old lady was shrewd enough to
gather that the girl really cared for
Murray Powers.

liner would be a blot on the 'scutch-

Bertha. 81 won't have it!s l want

Forty thousand dollars was left,
equally divided between the three
nieces, and the house to charity.
Bertha took home the antique can
dlestick, believing the aunt, whom
she still thought had really loved
her, had had some motive she had
felt to be right in Withholding from
her the money.
But Indignation was rife among
her friends, and one of them took it
upon herself to visit each one of the
heirs and ask them to make an equal
division of the money, including Ber-
tina, the one who most needed it.
They had a meeting, but decided it
had been their aunt's wish to so will
her property and they did not wish
to set it aside.
Bertha was advised to contest the
will, but she refused, saying she dis
liked family quarrels and preferred
to remain on good terms with her
cousins. She neither saw nor heard
anything of Murray Powers, though
the memory of him was always tug
ging at her heart. One day her cou-
sin Adele told her he had written to
her he was coming back before long.
So he was writing to her. Then
Adele let drop a few words that con-
WINGED her he was no doubt engaged
to her fortunate cousin.

DEVIATION OF THE COMPASS
Only at Certain Points Does the Mag
netic Needle Point Due North
and South.

Soon after the compass was invented
it was noticed that 1t did not point
true north and south. For a long time
it was supposed that this deviation
or declination was everywhere the
same until Columbus, on his way to
America in 1892, discovered near the
Azores a place of no declination. Maps
now published by the different govern
ments give lines of equal declination.
In the extreme eastern section of the
United States the declination is as
much as 20 degrees west. This de-
creases to zero at a place lear Cincin-
natl, o., and becomes an easterly decli-
nation amounting to 20 degrees east
in the northwest.
The discovery as to "dip" was made
nearly 100 years after the time of Co
lumbus. 1t was found that If a COM
pass needle is perfectly balanced so
that 1t can swing up and down as well
as sideways its north-seeking pole will
dip down at a considerable angle. This
angle increases as one goes farther
north, and decreases as one goes south.
In the southern hemisphere the north
seeking pole of a needle points up In
the air.
During Shackleton's south polar ex-
petition, a point was found on the
great antarctic continent where a
needle would hang vertically with its
north-seeking pole on top.

EGGS ARE RICH IN PROTEIN
Ninety-Seven Per Cent Of Portion
Eaten is Digested and Shell 10
Only Part Wasted.

The principal food element fur
nished by eggs is protein, the nitro
genous tissue-building element whose
presence in considerable proportion
also gives meats, fish, milk, cheese,
etc, their special food value. Eggs
can, therefore, be substituted In the
diet for the latter foods without ma
terially altering the protein con-
sumed,
In addition, eggs also furnish fat
and a number of valuable mineral ele-
ments, including sulphur, phosphorus,
iron, calcium and magnesium, In an
easily assimilable form, and are be-
lieved also to be rich in certain essen
tial vitaliZing elements called vitam-
ms.
Like milk and unlike meats, eggs
do not contain certain substances con-
vertible in the body into uric acid.
Their shells constitute the only waste
materials. Ninety-seven per cent of
the portion eaten-a high proportion
compared to other foods-is digested.
No extended cooking is necessary
for eggs, and there is, therefore, a
saving of time, labor and fuel in their
preparation when they are compared
with many other foods.
For all these reasons eggs deserve
an important place in the diet for use
at times in place of other foods rich
in protein, provided egg prices are
not so high as to outweigh the other
considerations.

BOLIVIA TO HELP
FEED THE WORLD
Syndicate Formed to Acquire
and Develop Land in South
America Which May Be
Used for Grazing.

South and. Central America can
decisively help if not completely solve
the future food problem in the United
States and Europe stated the direc-
tor general of the pan-American union
recently while preparing a special re-
port to the Council of National De-
Tense. He advised that the South
American countries be supplied with
capital, agricultural experts and en-
glneers to increase their future pro-
duct IN for the development of the
vast unused fertile acres. Europe and
the United States are now short more
than 28000,000 head of cattle, 34,-
100000 head of sheep. and 55O00,000
head of hogs. This shortage is rapid
ly increasing and it is to the South
American countries that they look to
remedy this deficit. Not only must
the world look to South America dur
ing and after the war to supply great
portion of foodstuffs and great va
riety Of raw materials desperately
needed but following the close of the
war, millions of crushed and heart
sick people will migrate from fle war
striken countries to South America to
find new homes.
The largest area OF unoccupied in
habitable lands on the globe occupy
the central portion of South America,
Of which eastern Bolivia forms a part.
Bolivia is as large as the United
States east of the Mississippi river
with the exception of the New Eng
land states. Practically half of Bo-
livia is susceptible to cultivtion Of
some sort.
The tens of thousands Of square
miles of open lands in eastern Bolivia
today offer opportunities for cattle
raising enjoyed in the western part of
the United States years ago.
As an evidence that Americans are
alive to the unusual opportunities pre-
sented today in this part Of South
America, La Americana syndicate has
been organized by c. Dunbar Smith
of Lincoln, Neb., to acquire large
tracts of agricultural and grazing
lands principally in Bolivia. Several
months ago representatives of the
syndicate went to Bolivia and ar
ranged for several large blocks total
ing 2,500000 acres, the greater part of
which lie along the Argentine border,
and have in view other tracts which
will more than double this.

Benjamin Puts the Liberty
Acres on Real Estate Market

Wallace Benjamin & Co. will place
on the market new addition to be
known as Liberty Acres" on the
Iowa side Of the river. This is one
of the numerous additions plated in
half-acre and quarter-acre tracts with
city water and electric lights. Gas
will soon be available. The land lays
we'll and the soil is rich loan and
very productive. Mr.. Benjamin thinks
that the west end is still in its in
fancy and there is no question but
what the property will increase in
value in that section in the future as
it has in the past. A new high
school is soon to be built, and with
the modern conveniences offered
there is no doubt but that a home
with half or quarter acre of ground
only six blocks from the car line will
increase in value with the other prop
erty.
