DROWNING BABY WAS POODLE
Canine Had Fallen Into Cistern and
) Brave Man Was Induced to Leap
to Its Rescue.

1t all began when Snowfall, q
fluffy poodle dog, pursued a chicken
one morning in the back yard at the
home of Charles Lefever of 534
South Eleventh street, Kansas side,
says a Kansas City correspondent.
SNOWFALL became so interested in his
quarry he failed to notice an open
cistern top until after he had fallen
in.
For 80 minutes Snowball's owner,
Mrs. Myrtle Lewis, who lives at that
address, fshed frantically, if vainly,
ito get her pet out. Then she called
the fire department. Meanwhile
Snowfall had sunk twice. She ran
breathlessly to the. front sidewalk
and pleaded with a man passing
along the street to rescue SNOWFALL.
The man was a foreigner. While
he could not understand her words
he partly translated her gesticula-
lions. He rushed to the cistern and
Jumped in. About the time the fire.
men arrived he was suffering
things in Polish that sounded like
profanity. He supposed it was a
baby.

Save Man Power With Horse,
Power,

Not long ago we stopped to watch
a huge steam shovel at work on a
Government job. With only two men
in charge it was steadily biting away
at a bank of earth, taking a round
ton at a mouthful. A string of wag-
ons moved under the shovel, each re-
ceiving it's load and moving on.
W. could not help contrasting this
example of enormous mechanical
power, moving earth at the rate OF
600 tons in a day of ten hours, with
the puny efforts of the one-horse far
mer, and the rate at which he moves
the dirt with his pony pillow. In the
former we saw how a minimum OF
manpower could move hundreds OF
tons of earth in a few hours; in the
latter, we have one Of u worst eX-
amples of present day ineficiency.
Much has been said about the
South's serious labor shortage, but
if the war goes on it is a situation
that will probably get worse before
it gets better. There simply is not
enough nan power to keep all our
industries and the war too going,
and the industries must feel the
shortage.
In this labor crisis it is the patri-
otto duty of every farmer to use
machinery in every possible way to
save human labor. Two and three
horses to each breaking pillow; four
mules to the binder, instead of II
man with a cradle; one-row and two
row cultivators, instead of twice to
the row in the ~old-fashioned way;
tractors where they can be advan-
tageously used; gasoline engines to
pump the water, cut the wood, u
the washing machine and make lights
these are some of the la~bor-savers
that we must adopt.
Replace scarce and high-priced Ia
Dor with horse power.-ProgresslVe
Farmer.
