WHEN he MADE RECORD Jump
yeunsster Was Trying to Escape Dog
He Thought Was Mad, So There
Was Abundant Reason.

Commander c. r. Fry, who has tenn
porarily relinquishcd athleticism in Or
der to train boys for the navy, de-
scribed to me the other day how he
nrst came to discover his ability as
jumper.
"When quite youugster," he said.
i was one day strolling along close to
our house, when there came bounding
along the road in my direction an eN-
ceedjnsly wicked-looking terrier I had
recently become possessed of.
"The animal was foamn@ at the
mouth and showed other unmistakable
signs OF excitement and distress. Hy
aFopaalia Was rife in the district at
the time. A horrid fear gripped no.
Iurniag swiftly aside, took the ditch
and hedge bordering the road in one
wild Temp, landed safely in an Or
chard On the other side, and was up Il
plum tree few seconds later.
1.-The dog, however, followed through
gap In the hedge and sat at the bot
tom OF the tree, but he brought toad
In his mouth, and I perceived he was
not mad beyond the degree of trying to
eat the toad. So I came down, and
went to have a look ut the hedge I
had jumped over.
1T was much higher than my head,
not to mention the ditch. It was many
years before jumped as high again."

Result Of Sugar Shortage.

The sugar shortage has encouraged
Louisiana planters to broaden the use
of pure cane syrup. which is made
from cane Juice, without taking out any
Of its sugar. This Juice is boiled to a,
point Just below that required to crys-
tallize 1t into sugar, and can be used
not only for griddle cakes and candy
making, but 1t is recommended by the
planters, as a sweetening for coffee
and tea. It is practically sugar in a
liquid form. and on a basis of 8 cents
pound retail for granulated sugar
will yield economies Of 40 to so per
cent, at price Of AZ to s cents a!

When John Adams became president,

tackled in the press than Washington
had been. But his administration
fought the attacks. Armed by the
sedition law. which was passed the

four years, the people rallied to the

Cambridge Man Missing

In the casualty lists published in
the evening papers Wednesday of
this week there appeared as missing
Watson 4. Bradley, whose home ad-
dress was given as Moorestown, NJ.
While there is nc confirmation of the
fact of his being the Watson Bradley
who formerly lived in Cambridge, it
is generally believed that it is he.
Young Bradley was in the employ
Of Col. A. Phillips for number OF
years, but left here about two years
ago to work at Moorestown. 1t is
understood that he enlisted in the
service at Philadelphia, giving
Moorestown as his home, that having
been the place where he worked last.
Judging from the fact that his name
is in the list of missing it is believed
that he probably has been taken a
prisoner Whatever his fate, he has
many friends and relatives here who
hope for the best. He was an hon
est, straightforward, hard-working
young man, who had made a host of
friends.
