PRINCES PAT HAS
 WITTY LINES AND
 PLEASES AUDIENCE

"The Princess Pat" opened a three nights engagement at the Columbia last evening, pleasing a fair sized audi ence with the musical play presented by an acceptable company.
 It was departure from it's usual picture program for the Columbia to open it's attractive house to a road show, but it was an innovation it is hoped the comfortable playhouse will follow.
 While there were any number of mu- sical numbers that scored with the au dience. the dancing of Stefi Anderson and Edwin Stanley stood out far above any other feature of the pro- duction. A waltz number was espec- tally alluring and a Spanish dance was another fascinating number given by the clever couple. While there were no remarkable voices, neither were there any that jared, and altogether the cast was above the average. Clara Freeman, the dainty little ingenue, had a particularly pleasing voice of so- prano quality.

Much has been said in the Illinois press of Homer township, Will county, Illinois, being the first township in the United States to go over the top, it having done so by 10 o'clock the same day that the loan drive opened.
 F. A. Blount of Phoenix, is proud of the fact that that place is his birth place, and that he was for IT years a supervisor of that township. The township has 270 voters, and it's quota was $23,000.

fire chief. "A fortunate incident of the fire was that the wind was blowing from the west and not from the east for one reason if no other. Had the wind been from the east the fire prob ably would have cost the lives of one or more little children, living with their widowed mother in a frame just east of the Kelley house, where the fire originated. The children, six in num- Der and all very young, were in the house when the fire leaped forth from the Kelley house and spread rapidly to the east"
 There was no insurance on the two houses that burned. The furniture in both the Kelley and Hines houses was saved. The estimated total loss is less than s5,000. The alarm was tele- phoned to the department at 5:15 o'clock.

SAN100H HORSESHOE MADE FOR ICE RAGING IN RUSSIA TO
<sg.G.g iii. bEUSED by AMERICAN H0RSEMEN THIS WINTER
By Paul Pu,man.

Horsemen who contemplate rae
ing their horses ton the ice this
year are beginning to shoe the
animals with saw-tooth shoes,
novelty which will make its first
appearance on the American ice
courses this year.
The shoe is the invention OF
Frnak Cation, a Cleveland horse ,
man, who might have made for
tune of It had he patented it.
The invention Of the saw-tooth
shoe takes one back to the Ro-
manoff days Of Petrograd and
Moscow when the Russian nobil-
ity patronized horse racing both
on the turf and on the ice.
For several years Cation trained
horses for one Of the Russian
grand dukes, who owned one Of
the greatest stables in Russia. He
won over a million in purses in
Russia.
AT that time both in Russia and
in America, no change was made
in the type Of shoes worn by
horses in ice racing. The ordi-
nary shoe wit hheavy calks was
used.
Cation devised a shoe, the model
Of which is shown in the accom-
panying picture, with teeth to
catch in the ice and give better
hold.
This shoe has added almost four
seconds to the mile in horses
speed over the ice. With the aid
Of the; saw-tooth some horses have
been able to travel over the ice as
fast as over the turf.
The shoes were such a success

Considering the fact that Burleigh
is one of the oldest counties in the
state. it planted an unusual acreage
of flax. a new land crop, in 1917, when
according to the annual report OF
County Auditor T. E. Flaherty, 2S,24S
acres were sown.
Less than fifty per cent of the coun-
tvs acreage under cultivation was de-
voted to wheat. To hard spring wheat
74,547 acres were devoted; 1881
acres went into durum, and 21S into
winter wheat, which, thanks to the
abundant SHOWS of last winter, was
one of the years best crops.
Oats was sown on,.39.2?1, acres; bar
ley on 233,G32; spring rye on 1885
and winter rye on 1882 acres. Speltz
was the crop on 1G,807 acres; and
corn was planted on 1928 acres, a
fairly satisfactory increase, consider
ing the relatively few years in which
corn has been considered Burlelgh
county crop. Millet and timothy with
1925 and 24O2 acres, respectively,
were planted to clover and but 532 to
alfalfa. ...-.n.. e.. .If .aE
The county had 2S2,121, or slightly
less than 25 per cent of, its million
acres, in crop in 1907. 1t sold poultry
and eggs to the value OF -$24,59l'
which is one of the most hopeful de
yelopments shown in the report, but
sales OF garden produce reported az
gregated only $3,247.
On the farms 156,S51 pounds OF but
ter we're manufactured during the
wear, and 293,6G52 pounds OF butte1
fat, at prices around 40 cents tht
pound. were sold to creameries. Th'
total paid by creameries, cheese rae
tories and stations for milk and cream
during the year was $69,S69, while

that they were adopted by other
Russian horsemen.
Last year Cation sent one of the
shoes to an American horseman,
who turned it over to Nat Ray, a
Canadian horseman, who used it
on the ice tracks Of Canada last
year. Other Canadian horsemen
adopted the shoe last year and
this year it will be seen on prac-
tically all American ice courses.

fall tie 1900 miles to the center OF
the earth has been calculated fol. the
Paris Academy of Sciences, by NJ.

the varying density of the earth, he
finds the time would be 10 minutes 10

would be 20 seconds greater.

American Sardines.

Our imports of sard1nes from France
and other European countries have
Oeen almost entirely cut off by war,
out the California sardine industry Is
developing so rapidly that N. B. SEQ
field, fish and game commissioner Of
that state, estimates an output Of e.
100000 cases of California sardines In
another year. The California sardine
has suffered market handicaps due to
.ack Of Standardization Of pack. This
difficulty is now being overcome by CO.
operation among the packers, and bet
Ter methods Of handling the fish from
the time they are taken out Of the
water until they 60 into the can are
being developed. Gamers representing
20 per cent Of the Maine sardine cam
hing industry in cooperation with the;
food administration have voluntarily
agreed to reduce their price to $500 a
Ease of 100 cans for the one-fourth size
oil and for the three-fourths size In
mustard, and $6.1O case Of 100 key
cans in the One-fourth size in oil. This
will enable retailers to sell the key
ess cans at three for 25 cents, and the
grocery trade has lined up behind the
Maine Gamers to distribute both this

OLD CHURCH WITH A HISTORY
St. Martin's-in-the-Fie Has PeWs
Permanently Reserved for
Sovereign and Prince.

There are many interesting asSOcia-
tions with royalty attaching to the
historic church of st. Martins s-in-the-
Fields, where the king and queen re-
Gently attended q special service. IT
is not generally known, states Lon
don correspondent, that pews are per-
manently reserbed there for the SOW
ereign and the prince of Wales owing
to the fact that 1t Is the mother church
Of all the royal parishes, and the parish
church for Buckingham palace.
Henry VIII built the first church to
prevent funerals passing his palace in
Whitehall. The present edifice dates
from 1925, and its chief claim to ar
chitectural distinction is that 1t pos
sesses the only perfect example Of q
Grecian portico in London. In the
older church some of the children of
Charles II were christened.
George presented it with an organ,
on which Handel frequently played

WHAT THUMBS ARE WORTH
Digit Is Estimated to Represent Fully
one-Third Of the Total Value
Of the Hand.

One has only to grasp a pen or q
tool OF some sort to realize that the
different fingers are far from having
the same value In regard to their use
fulness ia performing work. The most
important, states writer, Is the
thumb, for without 1t selling or hold
Ing would be very imperfect. The
hand is no longer pincers, but merely
claw, when deprived Of the thumb.
1t may be estimated that the thumb
represents fully third Of the total
value Of the hand. The total loss of
the thumb Is estimated by competent
authorities as Is to 35 per cent for the
right and 10 to Is per cent for the left
hand, except for workers in art, when
40 to so for the right and 25 to 40
per cent for the left hand comes near
er the value.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapaclty estimated at from
10 to 20 per cent for the right hand
and 10 to Is per cent for the left.
The middle finger Is less important
than the index. The ring finger Is
least important, and the little finger
may be compared to its neiahbor, en-.
cept In the professions In which it
serves as point Of support for the
hand.

SOWING TREE SEED IN SNOW
Planted Each Year to Make
Bare Land Productive.

To keep the national forests of the
United States, which are scattered
from Alaska to Porto Rico, up to
standard, $4,000 to $4,000 acres have
to be reforested or planted each year
The bare lands must be made produc-
tive and the thin stands of wood must
be improved To do this requires all
immense amount of labor.
Companies of men travel over these
forests, sowing the seed broadcast over
the snow in the various barren sec
tions. AS the snow melts the seeG
sinks deeper and deeper and when the
snow disappears entirely the seed Is
already covered over with sufficient
dirt to give it bed in which to grow,
The chief disadvantage of the meth,
cd, according to contributor to one
Of the scientific publications, is that
the seed is conspicuous on snow and
likely to be eaten by birds. After d
few days Of sunshine it soon disap-
pears from view.

charIemaene Was a German.

According to his friend and secre-
tary, Charlemagne was a full-blooded
German, an Austrasian Frank, with
yellow hair, fair skin and large, keen,
blue eyes. He was unusually tall, but
exceedingly well propOrtioned and
graceful, SO that his great height did
not at first strike the observer. His
appearance was always manly and
stately, and his countenance, open and
cheerful, but, when reused to anger,
his eyes blazed with a fire that few
men cared to stand. He was fond OF
all forms of exercise and during most
Of his life was amazingly strong. He
was temperate in eating and drinking.
He spoke Latin as tiuently as his ma
tive German and understood Greek
when it was spoken. Late in life he
learned to write, but was never able
to do much more than sign his name
In his age, however, he was an edu-
Gated man. At table he liked to have
some one read to him and was very
fond of history. He surrounded him
self with scholars and encouraged edu-
cation. He Is claSsed as one Of the
most remarkable men that ever lived
