Oyster Beds for Great Salt Lake

Plans have been made to bring the
propagation Of oysters in Bear River
bay, Salt Lake, Utah, this spring, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine in an
illustrated article. Experiments and
scientific study of local conditions have
indicated, to the satisfaction of the
state fish and game commissioner, that
the enterprise is thoroughly feasible
one. Analysis has shown that the per-
centage of salt in the water is prac-
tically the same as in ocean oyster
beds. In searching for desirable Sec
ton Of the bay to commence opera
tions, those in charge of the work used
an amphibious craft built particularly
for navigating shallow waters and ne
gOtiating salt and mud bars. The boat,
long, narrow motor-driven scow, is
provided with side wheels that propel
it through the water and across mud.

PORTER HAD HIS SUSPICIOUS
And Really There Seemed Some Rea-
son to Believe That Traveller Had
Inside Information.

Joseph II. Igleheart, an attorney of
Evansville, was in Indianapolis a
few days ago and when he reached
Terre Haute en- route home and got
on a passenger train on the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois railroad, he decided
he would take sleeper. He looked
up the porter and told him he wished
a berth. He was due in Evansville at
IL o'clock that night and the porter
demonstrated, saying that it was a
three-hours' ride and that no one need
ed sleeper for that short distance.
II don't care" shouted Iglehart. II
want a berth if it's only three-min-
utes' ride" The porter said he would
have to see the conductor and later re-
turned and told Mr.. Igleheart that he
could have a berth.
- Owing to a heavy snowstOrm and
ybad weather conditions the train ar
rived at six o'clock the next morning
at Evansville, being seven hours late.
When Igleheart got up he greeted the
porter, who was standing in the aisle.
The porter was angry and after Igle-
heart had spoken to him the second
time he said: Don't you speak to me,
white man. How did you know that
we were going to have this lay-out?'-

WITTY AMID FALLING SHELLS
Irishman Within an Inch of Death An
swered Superor's Fool Question
With Ready Humor.

AS Private Mulligan of the
the Irish, was leaning against the
sandbag parapet, dividing his period
of guard between nervous glances
through the battered periscOpe and
day-dreams of the little colleen back
in the Emerald isle, a noisy shell of
the SO pattern insinuated it's brazen
nasal organ into the earth about two
feet in front Of Pats parapet, thereby
making q far different channel of
thought for the Irishman.
After the smoke had cleared little
and the confusion subsided a subaltern
in action for the first time protruded
his startled vision from a nearby dug
out, and gazed in horror on the only
visible portion Of Patrick, that be-
ing his head, and in a voice of plain
tive inquiry asked:
"Er-er-Mulligan, was that a
shell?'
For a moment Pat looked innumer-
able things at his superior, and then
remembering who he was, answered,
keeping the sarcasm as much to him
self as possible:
"No, sorr. Shure, it was only an ex-
plosive bullet, sorr!"

MILFORD GRANGE

At the annual reunion on last Sat
urday, Milford Grange had one of the
most enjoyable days in its history.
The morning was given over to the
initiation of new members. Past
Master Eastman of Wilmington, who
is probably as well informed in ritual
istic work as any man in the country,
assisted.
He, with the degree team accom-
panying him, conducted the installa-
tion ceremonies in the afternoon, ably
assisted by six members of Milford
Grange. They presented a series of
beautiful tableaux, an innovation
greatly enjoyed by all.
A prominent feature of the day was
the bountiful repast served at noon.
Mrs. DilwOrth, who was present with
State Master DilwOrth, congratulated
us on the fact that we could serve so
delightful a meal in accordance with
the wishes Of the Food Administra-
tiOn.
The topic for Saturday the 26th is
What of the Farmer?" This will be |
ably presented from different view
points by several members.
