The Emblem of France.

The fieur de lis is the emblem of
France, and is believed to be the
white-h owered Florentine Iris, the
flower de luce. "What sayest thou,
my fair flower de luce" says the Eng
lish king to the French princess in
Shakespeare's play. The French have
pretty legend of their lily which tells
that at the baptism of King Clovis,
of the long and perfumed hair, a blue
banner came fiuttering down from
heaven over which were sprinkled
golden feur de lis. From that time
they appear on the arms of the country
They hare a verb, 'fieurdeliser," mean
ing to embroider scattered flowers over
fabric, or, as embroiderers say, to
pepper with flowers" Edward III
borrowed the lilies of France after his
war with that country and they were
borne by England until the beginning
of the nineteenth century.

Cock and Bull Story.

Cock fighting is still the national
sport of the DOminicans, although it is
declining in popularity. Under the ma
tiona1 gambling laws cock fighting may
be prohibited. 1t may, however, be Ii
censed by the various municipalities,
and it usually is, as it yields them a
good revenue. While bull fighting is
permitted in the Dominican republic,
it has never been popular in this island
At long intervals toreador comes here
en- route from Spain to Peru or Mex
leo, and a few bull fights are held in
the various towns, but they do not at
tract a large attendance. There are
no professional bull fighters among the
Dominicans.-Co Reports.

How Tornado Originates.

The tornado of the Western plains is
Identical in formation with the sand
whirl. The sun beats 6ercely on linn
tied area-say ten square miles OF bar
rem prairie-and as a result the air next
the earth becomes very hot, perhaps
120 degrees, and the mass is constant
~ increasing in volume. Above the
warm air is a stratum perhaps 20 de-
grees colder.
By and by passageway is made,
the hot air begins to ascend and the
cold upper air, pressing downward,
forces the lighter air through a chan
mel thus formed. 1t begins to whirl, it
[ increases in velocity, surface cur
rent forces it along, and the tornado
starts on it's destructive journey.
The terrific cyclone originates in
much the same way, only differing in
extent. The most violent cyclones or
iginate in tropical ATTITUDES, in the At
1antic ocean, to the north and east of
West Indian islands and in the Pacific,
in the China sea and in the neighbour
hood of the Philippine islands.
The reason they are SO destructive
is because they are carried such great
distances by extraneOus influences.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-07-05
POPULARITY or BLUE GRASS
kentucky Soldiers, on Return March
From Battle of Tippecanoe, Gath
cred Seed in Indiana.

The tradition that the Kentucky sol
Giers who fought at Tippecanoe took
back with them the seed that has made
blue grass famous in central Ken
lucky, has never been questioned or
seemed to require authentic proof, des
clares a writer Mrs. lowering says,
in her Authentic Indiana"
cit was on the return march from
the battle of Tippecanoe that the sol
diers from Kentucky gathered the seed
of the blue grass which they found
growing in Indiana, and carried IL
home with them, thinking it was SUI
perior variety because it satisfied the
hunger of their horses so well that
they would not eat corn. 1t fiourlshed
so we'll on the limestone soil Of central
Kentucky that it made that state ia
NOUS" This statement was based on
information obtained from early set
tiers of Indiana. Kentucky was not
known as the blue grass state until
many years after the battle of Tlppe-
canoe.
AS long as slavery existed, Ken
lucky, lying south of the Ohio river
was classed as q Southern state. lie
never was cIassed as central West
ern or middle Western state along
With Ohio and Indiana. In the census
report of 1910, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin were classed
as east North Central states" ana
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama ana
Mississippi as EAST South Central
states."
When Indiana was admitted to the
Union. in 1916, it consisted Of IL coun-
ties. viz: Wayne, Franklin, Dearborn,
Switzerland, Jefferson, Clark, wash
ington, Harrison, Knox, Gibson, Posey,
Warrick and Perry. In the subsequent
creation of 70 counties out Of these,
making 90, the boundaries of the orig
inal 13 counties underwent material
changes.

WlFE'S FEAR WAS AROUSED
Strangers Inquiry About Hubby's De-
scrption Was Merely to Warn
Against Unhealthy Coconuts.

He entered the ladies' sitting room
at the railway station, walked up to a
woman whose husband had left the
room about ten minutes previously, and
calmly inquired: Madam, your hus-
band went out to see the river, didn't
he?"
'Yes--why?" she asked, turning pale
in an instant.
"He was a tall man, wasn't hep
"He was" she replied, rising up and
turning still paler.
Had red hair?"

"Weighed about $50 pOunds?"
"Yes-yes Where is he-where is
my husband?" she exclaimed
couldn't swim, could he?"
''He's drowned-my husband is
drowned! !" she walled.
Had a silver watch chain?" contin-
ued the stranger.
"Where is my husband? Where is
the body?' she gasped.
"Do not get excited, madam. Did
your husband have on gray suit?'

"And lace-up bOOts"
'Let me see him-let me see him -
she cried.
Come this way, madam, but do not
get excited. There is your husband
across the street at that fruit-stand?'
"Why, yes, that's him; that-that's
my husbandr' she exclaimed joyfully.
"I thought you said he was drowned. y
"No, madam, did not. I saw him
buying q cocOnut, and I believe it to
be my duty to say to you that coco
nuts are not healthy at this season of
the year"

made was displayed recently on the
front of the Willys-Overland admin
istration building. Toledo. Ohio. sig
Mailing that the office employees Of
the big automobile company had reg
istered 100 per cent in the campaign
to fn the city OF ToIedo's war chest.
This nag. which measures 90 by 75
feet, and weighs in the neighborhOod
of $50 pounds, Is owned by the EN-
pIoyes OF the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company. Akron, Ohio, and has fig-
ured recently in numerous patriotic
exercises.
The flag cost 5000 and was pur-
chased by the rubber company's en-
ployes who raised the money by gen
eral contribution, TO which no one
was allowed TO give more than ten
cents.
Wiflys-OveFland employees were
among the most active workers for
the Toledo war chest, and John N
Willys. himself, was one OF its prime
movers.

CRANK CASE SHOULD .
Be DRAINED MONTHLY

At this time Of the year the owner
OF a good motor car ought to drain
the oil from the crank case at least
every four weeks.
II he will do this he will frequent
iy find that the oil has been diluted
with gasoline which has gotten past
the piston and into the oil. This de-
stroys its fabrication qualities and II
really becomes worse than no oil at
all During the hot summer season
1t is advisable to use q somewhat
heavier oil than in the winter. 1t
is also we'll in the hot season to run
the carburetor with as thin q mixture
as possible.
A grave mistake made by some
drivers is to hold the choke too long
after starting the motor and some
often run the car with the choke
closed. The effect OF this is to throw
into the firing chamber raw gasoline.
which eventually goes down into the
lubricating oil and this has the seri-
Gus effect OF causing the pistons to
score, brings about premature piston
ring wear and cylinder wear and in
creases the smoke from the exhaust
and causes excessive carbon in the
cylinders.

opted under ordinary progress. This
year the tractor manufacturers can
not begin to produce these wonder
workers fast enough. Thousands OF
farmers will order tractors for spring
1919. delivery.
Horses Very CSEtly.
Farms where six horses eat up
81 900 worth of feed each year can
now buy a tWo-plow tractor for little
more than one years feed bill. With
the allies and the United States Gov
eminent buying up every sound horse
for sale, the replacement OF horses
Is desirable. not only from the stand
point OF economy in upkeep, but from
patriotic necessity.
That the ten States Of Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky. Indiana, Nebraska
Ohio. Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota.
and Iowa alone have half a million
tractor prospects proves the impor-
tGnce Of the exposition in September.
The accessory end OF the exposition
will be no less important
Taken from every standpoint the
exposition will be one Of the most
vital and fAr-reaching demonstrations
ever held.
