grown buckwheat holds out more
than usual promise this year. There
are sure to be many acres here and
there which, because of weather or
labor shortage, will be implanted when
it is too late to put in oats or corn.
These fields will just suit the buck

and little available plant food to
start growth will practically insure
good crop of buckwheat. If the field
is inclined to be weedy, all the more

grows so fast that it soon takes the
heart out of the hardest ragweed.
Buckwheat has long been the scape-
goat of the cereal grains. Just be-
cause it is enterprising enough to try
to grow on any old soil it has the rep
utation of being poor-farm and

doesn't mean, however, that it will
not do proportionally well with good

WASTED ENERGY
Why Some People With
Large Appetites f all
To Gain Flesh.

Many people who have large appe-
titles never can seem to gain flesh or
strength and the reason for this is
because they get little nourishment
from the food they eat. This means
that the weakened system is unable to
take up the nourishnent which the
food contains and this energy is
wasted. If you want to gain flesh you
must take a food that your weakened
system can easily take up-such
food as Father Johns Medicine which
is absolutely pure and wholesome. Be
gin taking it today and see how you
gain in weight and health. It is
guaranteed free from alcohol or dan
gerous drugs in any form.
Start today taking Father Johns
Medicine after meals and at. bedtime
and see how promptly you gain
weight and new strength.-Adv.

FIRST RECORDED AIR FIGHT
Frenchmen, Rivals in Love, Had
Strange and Fatal Duel More Than
One Hundred Years Ago.

The first battle in the air and the
strangest duel in the long history Of
the field Of honor was fought ITO
years ago near Paris. Two Frenchmen
were ardent rivals for the affections
Of woman, and so bitter did their
wipe it out. Ordinary methods were
too tame for these fiery spirits, so it
was agreed that the duel should be
fought from balloons. The cause of
the trouble agreed to marry the VIC
tor.
When the selected day arrived the
two fighters and their seconds repaired
to the meeting place, only to find a
great crowd assembled, for word of
the strange encounter had spread
broadcast. The principals, however,
were undeterred. Two balloons, pre-
cisely alike, had been prepared, and
into these they stepped. To each was
handed a carefully loaded blunderbuss.
The word was given and the moor
ings cast off. Slowly the balloons as
cended, almost side by side. At the
height of about half a mile, when the
great bags were but 80 yards apart,
the signal was given and both men
opened fire. Soon one of the balloons
collapsed and crashed to the earth.
The record says the woman kept her
promise and married the victor Of the
aerial battle.

STUDY HOLDING OF CAMERA
Successful Work With the Instrument
Depends Largely on Its Being In
Proper Position

Successful hand-camera work de-
ponds largely on the power to give
slow shutter exposures with the cam
era held in the hand and in this con-
nection sufficient attention is rarely
given to the matter of grip" 1t is
not enough to hold the camera firmly
against the chest or stomach. The
best position must be found by trial,
and this will vary with different in
dividuals and different makes Of
camera. In general it will be found
that the most comfortable position is
the steadiest. At waist level the
hands will be usually placed SYM
metrically on either side of the instru-
ment, the right, near the release, for
ward, and the other a little behind.
When the camera is held at eye level,
one hand is usually held rather under
the instrument as a support, and the
other grips the back or side, or with
a folding type of camera both hands
may grip the back. With the very
closes the instrument and releases the
shutter, whilst the other is used as
support. At eye level it is often a
great assistance to a steady aim to
press the back of the camera against
the cheek. Just as the feel of a IA
vorite gun gives confidence, so the
use of the camera should be familiar,
and regular and systematic practice
with the unloaded camera will be a
great help in this. Trial exposures
should be given from time to time, and
the resulting negatives carefully ex-
amined. At first fairly short exposures
only should be given, to gain conf
dence, gradually employing slower
speeds as the hand is trained and
nerve is acquired.

Dog Recognizes Portrait.

his master.
1t was Apelles, the ancient painter,
I think, who depicted grapes so realis-

them. But in long association with
dogs I have never found one who could
recognize figure or landscape in a

The nearest approach to such intel
