Child Burned to Death

Holloway Herald: The barn on
the farm Of John Byer, Jr., two miles
northeast OF town was burned to the
ground last Monday just after noon.
1t seems that two little boys aged
4 and years, were playing In the
barn when the fire started. The
oldest boy got out somewhat singed.
but the youngest one was burned to
death. How the fire started is not
definitely known but it is supposed
the boys were handling matches, al

Hunting Season Sept. 16

The hunting season, in this state,
for wild geese, ducks and chickens,
opens Monday, Sept. 16, according to
blanks sent out by state officials.
There has been some misunderstand-
ing as to the time being the 10th or
18th, owing to the wording of the
statute not being clear, compared to
the blanks.
Geese and ducks can be taken until
Dec. 1st, and chickens only during
September. Every person hunting
must obtain license from the county
auditors Office, at cost Of 81. Nom
residents of the state are taxed $40
per license.

Dear Frank
"Got your letter of June 13 on
the 21st of the month. One of the
boys brought it to me with another
letter in an old building. Read it by
moonlight as we could have no light
and things were about the hottest
I ever saw them. Fritz was trying
to pound the everlasting stuffings
out of us. It surely was fright.
But things soon turned the other way
and he has been going ever since.
Hope he keeps on going. 1t is quiet
here now and I appreciate it.
cam sorry I did not get the knife
you sent me. Wonder if you sent it
by registered or insured mail. In
either case you might inquire about
it,
"I heard from Earl as you prob
ably know. Have not heard from
Emil or any of the other boys.
'You spoke once of being an auto
truck driver in the army. You ought
to see the way they go here with
their autos, motorcycles, etc. There
is no speed limit and they make the
most Of it. You see what look like
hairbreadth escapes from accident al
most any minute. rode on truck
once during bombardment and we
went over rock piles, thru shell
holes and everything else. 1t wasn't
much fun At night they must drive
without any lights so as not to give
themselves away to Fritz I thought
once 1t would be fine to be motor
cycle driver in the army, but don't
quite like the looks of the job lately.
"Got the picture of you and the
team. Looks good. Thank you ever
SO mulch. Pictures always look good
to me here. You asked about the
telegram. didn't get it in the
states but about month and half
later In France.
$50 you think we have a little
French blood in us. Find out ii you
can In what part Of France we orr
ginated and tell me about it in your
next letter. -
Some day can describe the sights
I see herea letter seems too short
for that. I surely have seen some
torn up country.
Must close. Write me whenever
you can as letters look mighty good

Politeness Is Too Neglected.

Courtesy! Prof. William Lyon
Phelps Of Yale university is right in
saying that the young men of today
possess even greater power Of endur-
ance than their fathers. The war has
demonstrated that the luxuries of mod
ern life have not produced a degenerate
race. Our own heroes Of 1910 were no
more hardy than the young men in
khaki today after six months of train
ing. The endurance of the modern SOL
der is not alone a matter of physique
or physical strength but Of moral
stamina as well. What we need to
cultivate Is not simply sturdy man
hood through military discipline, but
also to give our boys and girls train
ing in courtesy. Military training
teaches obedience, a quality that our
youth sorely need to acquire, but we
need to instill into the minds of our
children in the public schools lessons
Of politeness and respect for the
rights Of others.
No other nation has neglected po-
likeness as we have done.-Leslie's.

Cement From Suqar-Beet Waste.

A result Of experiments in French
factories Is the production Of an ex7
cellent cement as by-product Of beet
sugar refining. The first step in the
production of sugar from beets is boil
ing them. It has heretofore been Gus
tomary to throw away as valueless the
scum formed on the caldrons. But it
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities of car
Donate of lime. It Is estimated that
1000 tons of the carbonates can be
recovered from 10000 tons Of beets.
To this quantity Of the carbonate LOO
tons of clay is added, the resultant
product being a good cement. The
beet scum is pumped into large reser-
voirs and allowed to evaporate for a
certain length Of time before being
mixed with the clay. It is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being fed
into rotary ovens such as is used in
making Portland cement.

Something to Worry About.

AS if we haven't already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost of living! And our friends,
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the innermost re-
cesses of his pocketbook day before
pay, are intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They-some of
them-believe the sun is going to ex-
plode. One of them, writing in Pop
ular Astronomy, points to the fact that
our sun is Of advanced age, and pre-
diets it's finish as the leading figure
in our solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 100000 miles
from each side, thus giving it's hot
center 1S6,OOO,OO0 miles less of room.
SO you see the suns center is rather
crowded for space. Something like the

HAVE MANY QUAINT BELIEFS
Alaskan Natives Probably as supersti-
tious as Any Race on the
Face Of the Earth,

In Alaska the natives have all kinds
of superstitious beliefs, They believe
that everything has spirit, and that
these spirits must be respected or else
bad luck will come to them. For in
stance, they must not throw away any
old clothing, nor burn it, for that would
be the same as destroying a part of
themselves. They must make bundle
of the old clothes and put it on the
branches Of large spruce tree out
side the village. All fish bones are
carefully put away in a basket to be
taken out to the middle of a river,
stream or lake and there thrown over
board. This is done so that every
single bone, after 1t is put back into
the water, will turn into a fish, and
this is sure to keep up the supply.
When a child is born the father
has to put away all tools that are
made Of iron or steel and is not al
lowed TO use them for 20 days. Dur
ing that time he Is not allowed to go
outside to do any work or any hunt
ing. Should he do any of these things
1t would surely cause the death Of the
baby. When child dies it is not
buried, but is wrapped in bundle and
placed at the foot Of a spruce sapling
If the tree dies within a year the
spirit Of the child dies also.
When grown person dies the body
is kept at least three days In the room
In which it has died. When the time
for burial comes the body is buried on
hillside or high bank facing the
river. There is the village Of departed
spirits on the side facing the river and
on the other side the spirits of the
dogs who have died and who belong to
the people whose spirits are there.
The spirit Of an old woman takes care
Of these dogs.-Southern Workman.
