county and each year the exhibits of
these various types of cattle continue
to grow in number and point of
excellence. Exhibits of grain, and
especially corn departments, this

Two Tips on Savings
Cut Coal Bill i'm Half

BY using just one or two sugges-
tions, advocated by the Unite d
ST t e Fuel Administration for
saving coal, one man has proved
that not only coal, but dollars can
be sayed. A consumer in Phila-
delpbia has written to the fuel Ad-
mlnistration telling of his exper-
fence. His house was surrounded
on the northern and western expo
sures by open fields. By covering
his heater pipes with asbestos and
having all of the doors and wind
ows- weather-stripped, he was able
to keep his ten room house at a
sensible temperature on a total con-
sumption of coal for the winter of
little more than four tons.
His neighbor. having a house of
the same size, declined 10 use the
same methods, and his aggregate
consumption of coal for the winter
was fourteen tons. Will not this
be an added incentive to all house
holders to cover their pipes and
weather.s strip all doors and win
dows?
Yours Truly.

sIRR HEDwoRoRTH MoUx

Admiral the Hon. Sir Hedworth
Moux, Admiral of the Fleet and COM
mander at Portsmouth, is one of the
most distinguished of British naval
officers. He was a younger son of
the second Earl of Durham, and is
now sixty-one years of age. Until a
few years ago he was known as Sir
HedWorth Lambton, the latter being
the family name of the earls of Dur
ham, and his change of name was oc-
casioned by a peculiar circumstance.
Sir Hedworth Lambton made his
name Internationally famous while
commander of the naval brigade
which took part in the defense of
Ladysmith durin the South African
war. Among. those who greatly ad-
mired his valor was Lady Meux, who
had at one time been an actress in
the Enlish music halls, but who mar
ried Sir Henry Meux the great brewer
and inherited his millions. The brew
ers widow had only slight speaking
acquaintance with the naval officer,
but when she died it was found that
she had bequeathed her immense for
tune to Sir Hedworth, on condition
that he assume the name of Meux. He
fulfilled this provision of the strange
will and now appears on the rolls Of
British naval officers as Sir Hedworth
Meux. He entered the navy forty
eight years ago, and served at the
bombardment of Alexandria in 1882.
Sir Hedworth inherited a fortune
from one widow and married another
the widow of Viscount Chelsea In
leaving her fortune to the naval hero
the late Lady Meux rounded out a
career of eccentricities, marked by
an extreme vulgarity, '1oudness' of
raiment and kindness of heart

France Honors First President

Frenchmen today will honor the
memory of Louis Adolph Theirs, con-
sidered the greatest, as he was the
first, of the executives of the Third
Republic. In Marseilles, the city of
his birth, and in Paris and other cities
of France, the 121st anniversary OF
the birth of Theirs will be celebrate
tday with even greater enthusiasm
than ever before, for it is he whose
lauded as the '1iberator of the ter
ritory," Theirs was born on April Is,
1897. AS a young man he became
an ardent supporter of the Bourbon
cause and helped place Louis Phil
ippe on the throne, and held various
important posts under his regime. He
was the leader of French national af-
fairs when the second empire fell
after the disastrous war of 187O-71.
He became provisional president of
the Third Republic, and during the
years of reconstruction his genius was
of inestimable value to France. He
| died in 1877, at the age of eighty.
