The three men who abandoned
their wagons and teams early Satur-
day morning, after stealing wheat
valued at $400 from Breen Bros.
farm are known to the authorities,
according to Sheriff Sherman, who
says that Marvin Bradford OF the
Junction City force, identified the
teams late Saturday. Officers In all
surrounding towns have been n0d-
fed and printed descriptions of the
men will be sent out at once.
The teams and wagons we're used
to haul the wheat from Breen Bros.
bins early Saturday morning. Mr..
Breen heard the wagons passing his
house and became suspicious. He.
followed and on coming in sight OF
the trio of thieves near Detroit the
men abandoned their horses and
wagons and escaped across country.
When Mr.. Breen came upon the
thieves he shouted That's my
wheat That's my wheat" The
three men took 1t for granted that
Breen was right and Immediately dis
appeared. If Breen had waited and
permitted the men to haul the wheat
to the elevator where they had TAX
on stolen wheat before, he could
have caught them, is the opinion OF
Sheriff Sherman.
Mr.. Bradford OF Junction City
went out to the Horner place near
Detroit late Saturday and at once
identified the outfits as belonging TO
three Junction City men. Sheriff
Sherman is Withholding the names
for the present. Bradford stated

Bird club
: Noes

Now is the time to put up boxes
and bird houses for the use.
Of the birds during the storms of
winter. They will thus serve a.
double purpose, giving them pro-
lection from the cold of winter and
serving as nesting places in the
spring.
9 The season is near when the
birds will need our protection. We
hope every farmer has saved a few
sheaves of wheat or oats for them
when they can not get at the weed
seeds upon which they depend for
food during the winter months.
Every child can help in making
the birds fearless and confding by
scattering crumbs, table scraps or
grain for them. Try throwing
crumbs Of bread or scraps in the
yard and see how soon birds will be
hopping around picking them up.
The most Of our summer birds
are gone, but others have come to
take their places, although not in
large numbers. The thrushes and
orioles left us in September, also
the chimney swifts, rain-crows and
bobolinks. All have gone south to
spend the winter. Some go only
to the southern part Of the United
States and others go away down
into South America.
The chickadees stay with us the
year round but usually retire to the
quiet Of the woods during the nest
ing season. Now since they are re-
lieved Of the duties of caring for
their young, the familiar song
"chickadee" is again heard almost
daily.
Nuthatches are seen fitting from
tree to tree in search Of the insects
and larva which are hidden in the
bark. From now until spring they
and the chickadees will keep up a
constant search under and in the
crevices of the bark of the trees and
thus save them from destruction by
the pests.

PROCEED WISELY
With CHICKENS
Suggestions of Specialists of De-
partment of Agriculture.
MAKE START WITH PUREBRED
HousehoIders Usually Desire Not Only
Eggs for Table, But Also an occa-
sionaI Chicken to Eat-Light
Breeds for Eggs.

You want to start a backyard hen
merry or improve the one you have
you have gone that far in your deter
mination to help the meat and egg
supply-how shall you begin? What
kind of fowls shall you keep, how
many and how shall you procure
them? These are your next considera-
tons. Here are the suggestions of
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture on these
points. They will help the beginner
especially, but should also help the
town householder to make his flock
more serviceable. First, the kind of
breed.
This will depend somewhat on
whether you desire eggs, meat or both
eggs and meat. Householders usually
desire not only eggs for the table and
for cooking, but also an occasional
chicken to eat. If this is your desire
one of the generalpurpose breeds.
such as Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red or O%rpington, is
preferable to the smaller egg breeds,
such as the Leghorns. Not only do the
mature fowls of these breeds, because
of their larger size, make better table
fowls than the Leghorns, but the
young chickens for the same reason
make better friers and roasters. Chick
ems of the egg breeds are suitable only
for smaller 5roilers. Hens of the gen.
eral-purpose breeds also are more
'~broody," making good sitters and
mothers, which is a decided advantage
when 1t Is desired to hatch and raise
chicks. Hens of the egg breeds seldom
become broody and are in any event
rather unreliable sitters and mothers.
Lighter Breeds for Eggs.
If, however, the desire for eggs out
weighs that for an occasional table
fowl the lighter egg breeds undoubted-
ly will be more practicable because
they lay as many eggs and eat less
feed, with the result that they produce
the egg more cheaply. 1t is by all
means advisable to keep some pure

South African Shoe Trade.

Cape Province has numerous firms
which manufacture boots and shoes.
Many of these are engaged in the pro-
duction Of high-class footwear though,
as a rule, the better class of footwear
that is popular in this country, is OBJ
tanned from overseas, writes Consul
General George H. Murphy, Cape Town.
The foreign producer, with his highly
specialized factories, is able, with the
aid of the importing merchant, to flood
the market here with enormous guam
titles of boots and shoes, either made
for the South African trade, or form
ing a part of his surplus output. The
result is that the South African pro-
ducer is unable to command a suffi-
cient market to warrant extensions of
his plant to meet large calls which
may be made by the wholesaler. He
must content himself with producing
high-grade footwear in small quaint
ties for the retailer.
Large quantities of boots and shoes
are being received from the United
States, partly as a result Of the i'm
possibility of obtaining adequate sup.
plies elsewhere.

When the Doctors Despaired.

There have been recorded during the
war many being cured by accidental
means, such as a sudden noise or an
unexpected visitor, or as a startling
question, and in n case at least a
midnight fall out of bed. But one of
the strangest cases belongs to a for
mer war, observes a correspondent,
where a soldier lay 10 months under
the influence of catalepsy. Finally, in
despair, the doctors ordered the bag
pipes to be played near the patients
bed. That did the trick.
There is a story told of a skipper
who had a medicine-chest containing
cures numbered one to seven. For dys-
pepsia he administered a stiff dose of
No. T.. For sprains, No. 2 was the bot
tie, and for rheumatism, No. 5 seemed
to work the oracle. But on a lengthy
voyage the skipper ran out of No. z,
so when next a member of the crew
had a pain in his middle he dosed him
with a mixture of 2 plus 5. Nobody
had another pain during that voyage,
or, at any rate, confessed to having

ANIMALS OF THE CAUCASUS
Inhabitants Have Preserved Much of
the Original Character of Their
Stone Age Ancestors.

The Caucasus lies on the road which
links Europe to Asia and its high val
legs offer a safe refuge to man and
his herds. This explains both the
mixed and archaic type of its domes-
tic fauna, which shows some curious
analogies with the human material
of the curious living photographic mu-
scum of those regions, observes a
writer.
In all probability not one of the do
nestle animals of the Caucasus Is
autochthonous. The earliest epoch of
the importation is prehistoric; the
latest is contemporary with our own
generation. Even the samples belong
ing to the stone age have preserved a
good deal of the original character of
their ancestors, owing mainly to the
preservative character of the noun
tain region.
Turkestan, the countries of the
Cretan civilization, North Africa and
America have each furnished their
quota.
From Europe hail the bull and the
dog. The so-called Tartar dog es-
pecially, a descendant of the wolf, had
its ancestral home in the plains Of
Volga.

Natural Animal camouflaae.

If you would study camoulage by
lane go look at the wild animals, says
a writer. See how the tawny lion and
striped tiger are painted to resemble
the tall, yellow bush grass OF the
jungle. The giraffe is painted with a
quaint diamond pattern exactly like
the Pickering lights among the acacia
trees on which he feeds. The leopard,
the jaguar and all spotted cats, the
spotted deer, and the dappled horse
are painted to initiate light under a
shady tree. The pig is patched pink
and brown like the sunlight, and the
shadow of the denser woods. The ele-
phant is painted a hazy brown like
the great trees of the deepest forest.
SO all the wild beasts are colored for
concealment in their natural landscape.
while many of them change their
clothes with the seasons, wearing
white for the snowy winters, brown
Cor the torrId summer.
