What struck me as strange was the
fact that Stein. who had fifteen francs

like mad to carry on. I still insisted
that none of the balls had gone over

quandary. Just then one Of our men
passed in the rear of me and whis-
pered: Stewart says to go on with
the game" Wondering at this infor-
nation. started in.
| The pitching of that Welshman was
awful He hit the first two men up
and walked the third. was in despair,
bases full and two out. Some of the
Canadian rooters were jumping up and
down, throwing their hats in the air,
and one fellow was whistling "The
Star-Spangled Banner" This got my
goat completely.
Near every billet hangs a gas gong.
This is q triangular piece of steel or
an empty shell case. Beside this gong
hangs an iron striker. Upon the
sounding of the alarm, by striking on
the gong with the striker, every man
is supposed to put on his gas helmet
and repair Immediately TO his proper
station. These gongs are to warn SOL
diers that German poison gas is COM
ing over.
While / was signaling to my rube
pitcher and beseeching him to put one
over, the changing of the gas gong rang
out. 1 dropped my glove, got off my
chest protector, and madly rushed for
my helmet and soon had it ON, the
rooters and players doing the same.
Then I got wise. / remembered Stew

scheme took my breath away. The
Canadians had a mile to go to get to
their stations, and believe me, it is no
fun double-tinling for a mile while a
gas helmet is choking you with its
chemical fumes.
Well, those Canadians beat it, and so
did we, but the game was saved and
all bets were off.
I nearly smothered with laughter in
my gas helmet. To the rest, not being
lin the know" it was a genuine alarm.
Shortly after the stampede it was dis
covered that the alarm was false, and
a rigid investigation Immediately took
place. But the Canadians had left and
our money was safe. 1t certainly would
have gone hard with the culprit had
he been caught AS it was. our bat
talon got two weeks as extra fatigue
on working and digging parties.
Afterward, was let into the secret.
Stewart had given Stein ten francs to
sound the gas alarm, which, with his
fifteen francs bet on the game. Stein
did not have 1t in his heart TO refuse.
Many time. Stewart, Stein and my
self had quiet little laugh when we
pictured the Canadians stampeding for
their biIlets.
Then orders were received to take
over new sector of the line, and base
bah was forgotten. The work In front
of us was to be of the grimmest nature.
Not long after that, in my first going
"over the top" Stewart was killed and
Stein was wounded. was also slight

Our soldiers will not have to worry
about warm legs this winter If they
will but wear the "leg long" that has
been devised BY Miss Emma Frohman,
sister Of the late Charles Frohnan,
for their comfort. The new garment
fits snugly around the tops Of the SOL
dier's puttees or canvas leggins and
extends upwards to be drawn tight
around the waist. It is knitted of
very heavy wool and is sure to keep
cold away from the wearers legs.
This photo shows Miss Frohman
putting her "leg longs" on one of the
soldiers. He is also wearing a knit
ted sweater so there is very little
chance of his ever getting cold. Guam
titles of the new garments will be
made at the new workroom of the Ma
tional League for Woman's Service,
and they expect to have the "leg longs"
on the way to the army boys soon.

HENHoUsE WARM BUT AIRY.

Usually poultry house can be kept
well ventilated without making 1t un-
comfortably cold for the hens except
In the very coolest weather. Birds can
stand quite low temperatures provided
their combs do not frost. Where there
is much hard freezing weather, the
most effective way that has been found
to keep the poultry house warm and
dry is to place dry straw or hay to the
depth Of a foot or more overhead on
a floor Of boards laid as wide apart al
may be and still hold the straw. Dry
straw usually will absorb all moisture.
and so, when It Is used the poultry
keeper must Judge by the air in the
house how much ventilation is needed.
A breed that win not stand the tenn
perature when the ventilation Is regu.
lated in this way is not suited to The
climate.

CHASED BY BEAR
Mother Animal Was Angry When Cub
Was kldnaped.


To be chased across pasture by q
mother bear that was trying to get
close enough to his fleeing horse to
avenge the kidnapping Of her baby was
the experience of Hardy Bingham
who came to Meridian, Idaho, recently
from his home six miles northwest
Of the town to exhibit the cub as evil
dence Of the thrilling episode which
took place In Long valley, where he
was herding cattle.
The cub, which was less than a
month old, was playing about 300 feet
from its mother when Bingham and
a companion rode into sight. Imme-
diately he began to run toward his
mother, but Bingham got off his horse
and gathered him up before he could
get away. He protested his capture
by bawling at the top of his voice and
by trying to bite Bingman's hands
with his toothless gums. With O.
roar the mother bear came to rescue
her baby, and Bingham and his com.
panion were compelled to ride at top
speed to escape her.

SHARK, DOGF|SH and
CARP USED FOR FOOD

cans During War Time,
Says Bulletin.

One Of the most curious anomalies
Of the present war, which has been
called the greatest destroyer in the
worlds history, has been the addition
OF many thousands of dollars to the
national wealth of the United States,
through the utilization of fish foods
which were thrown away as worthless
until necessity demanded their conser-
walton.
The radical change which has been
wrought by the war in the fishing in
dustry is reflected in the fisheries serv-
Ice bulletin published by the bureau
of fisheries Of the department of COM
merce. Instead of being confined
solely to items concerning salmon,
shad, cod and other fishes which have
had ready sale, the bulletin devotes
much space also to news concerning
the catch of pole founders, sharks,
rays, skates, carp, grayfish (Which for
merly rejoiced in the uninviting name
of dogfish) and other types of water
food. Regarding the pole founder or
gray sole, the bulletin records that it
was virtually unknown as food prior
to the fall of 1915. AS a. result of the
bureaus food conservation campaign,
which taught the value Of the fioun-
der and attractive ways to prepare It,
demand for the fish increased until
last season there We're thirty-five boats
taking founders to the New England
markets, and probably 100000 pounds
have been marketed. Carp abound in
the interior lakes. An agent of the |
bureau was sent to st. Louis, Kansas
City, Omaha, Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Milwaukee, Chicago and indianapolis
to stimulate the use Of fish. A bull
letin containing recipes for cooking
carp was prepared. State commissions
of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana
co-operated In the work. The result
was greatly increased demand for
carp, which continued to grow In IA
vor as the public became acquainted
with its value. More than 100000
pounds Of carp were sold from Mime
sofa lakes, and in Milwaukee the
weekly consumption has reached 25,-
300 pounds. 4
On the Pacific coast there is grow
Ing demand for sharks, rays and
whales. Sharks sell for 10 to 12 cents
a pound. 1t is said to be especially
delicious when sailed or smoked. NJ
nerous canneries have undertaken to
preserve the meat.

Brother
And Then Self
Double Tragedy in Wes-
tern Idaho.

BOISE. Idaho A double tragedy
occurred Sunday on a ranch
near the town of Alpha in an iso-
lated section of western Idaho, Ed
ward Dunn numbering his brother
Tom, and then killing himself.
News Of the killing and suicide
reached Boise July 10.
The murderer left a note ad
dressed to the cashier of the Cas-
cade bank, admitting that the did
the killing, but failed to give the
cause. 1t is believed the two men
quarrelled over property. Between
them they owned farms valued at
$4,000. :
Both were bachelors and lived
for years together. The bodies were
discovered by settlers residing in
the vicinity Monday afternoon. The
murdered man lay on the bed with
the top Of his head blown off. The
suicide lay on the floor in a pool of
blood. The murderer took time to
write the note to the bank, directing
that the stock on the farm be sold
and the property disposed Of.
Both men were in the flfties and
had been residents Of Long valley
Tor years. They we're we'll and fay-
orably known.

tain Front Favored.

The extreme cold weather this win
ter has caused unusual damage
through frosted combs and wattles of'
fowls. In the large-comb breeds both
cocks and hens are affected. The fe-
males OF the breeds, having medium
sized combs, are not often seriously in
jured by frost, but when the mercury
goes below zero the combs and wattles
OF the males are often very badly
nipped.
Treat Before Thawing.
When first frozen the comb and wat
ties retain their normal color, except
for slight wilderness Of the skin of
the frozen parts. After the affected
parts thaw out they turn dark in color,
and there is more or less Inflammation
In them and the adjacent parts. Treat
ment is most beneficial If first applied
before the frozen parts begin to thaw.
At this stage the best treatment is to
rub with cold vaseline or lard, manipu-
lating gently with the fingers to draw
the frost gradually and restore circu-
lation. When the frost is out anoint
the parts with mixture of 5 table
spoonfuls vaseline, tablespoonfuls
glycerine, tablespoonful turpentine.
Apply this two or three times q day,
keeping the bird in cool (not cold)
place. II the frostbite is not noticed
until thawing has occurred, omit the
first rubbing.
Use Of VaseIine.
The thin wattles of males are most !
susceptible, especially when they are
wet as the bird drinks. In severe cold
weather 1t is best not to give males ac-
cess to open drinking vessels except
during the. warmer hours Of the day.
The combs are usually frosted at night
when the birds are on the roosts. A
curtain Of burlap or of cotton cloth
hung before the roost will often keep

A FiRELEss BRooDER
FOR MoTHERLEss CHICKS.

It is satisfactory for the small
flock owner. 1t can be used out
doors only in reasonably warm
weather; In cold weather keep 1t
in a room which is at least part
ly Gated.
You can make 1t yourself. As
the construction is very simple,
many people prefer to build rath-
er than buy them. The body
heat Of the chickens is the
source Of warmth. A box Is
inches square and 8 inches deep
makes a good hover of this type.
Adjustable quilts or covers are
used. The number and position
OF the quilts over the chickens
In this box are regulated accord
Ing to weather and the number
Of chicks. In very cold weather
the quilts should sag so as to
rest on the backs of the newly
Matched chicks, and there should
be little or no empty space in
the hover. In warmer weather
or with older chickens the quilts
or covers are raised or part of
them removed. From IL to 40
chicks are usually placed in a
fireless brooder, rs being the av-
erage number, while small lots I
do better than larger ones under
this method. When first placed
in the f1reless brooder, the .
chicks may have to be put under

dottes, Rhode Island Reds and Orp-
ingtons are all good varieties for the
average person who does not intend to
60 into the poultry business on a con.
siderable scale. These breeds are good
layers and they also make good table
poultry. Furthermore, they will hatch
their own eggs and brood their own
chickens, whereas the Leghorns and
other breeds Of the egg-laying class do
not sit, and the use of expensive incu-
bators and brooders is necessary in
order to perpetuate these flocks.
