From the prize ring to the movies interspersed with removing or adding avoirdupois from or to United States lawmakers, is the novel record of ''kid' Broad. the lightweight battler who was in his heydey more than twenty years ago.
 The famous New York battler. whose glove argument with the late Terrible Terry" McGovern is still fresh in the minds of fistic fans, does the tough guy" stunt with such Douglas Fairbanks and Frank Kee- nan.
 Casually it is the Kids" luck to get walloQed by the screen hero. These wallops. decidedly realistic, are given straight from the shoulder, but the Kid" as in the days of yore is a glutton for punishment.

How to Save Butter

"Car"lessness about butter is con. mon American sin against thrift. xH ncuriy every family some member has the habit of taking huge helpings of butter which he or sine does not use. The remedy is simple. Cut slices of the oblong pound Cf butter a quarter of an incl thick. and cut each slice into four pieces. When the butter is served, each member of the family take one small piece at time. It sounds like small economy, but 1t is one which careful city housewives have practiced for years.-Farm and Flreside.

PreserVinQ EsioWer2,

A method of preserving the natu. ral colors of flowers consists in dust Ing salicyllc acid on the pants as they lie in the press and removing 1t with Q brush when the flowers are quite dry. Red colors in particular are well preserved by this agent. Another meth. cd of applying tie same preservatiye Is to use solution of one part of salicylic in fourteen of alcohol by means of blotting-paper or cotton,
 below the flowers. Powdered boracic acid yields nearly as good results.

There is an ancient saying that "One whose father was hanged" and there Is q great deal implied in those few words. In effect, is meant that subjects of conversation should be carefully in troduced where persons present are dot known to a certain extent that is
 that nothing untoward has happened
 publicly. at least. that would make ony unusual subject apply too openly to anyone especially.

Natural AriStocracy.

The democratic element in moder society is undoubtedly gaining il strength every year, and there is nc good reason for lamenting it's advance But it will never do away with the natural ariGtocracy which has made skill in the conduct of business the en- downent or the acquisition of few.

HIS CORN EXPERIMENT
GETS AN EARLY SETBACK
Mother Hen Walks High Wire and
Steals for Chicks.

Mother Hen Walks High wire aho
Steals for Chicks.
ST. Adams, vt.-Malcolm Hersey,
who conducts a truck farm near this
city, heard of a method Of preserving
sweet corn by drying 1t on the cob In
the sunshine. He strung 50-foot wire
clothesline between two posts In his
back yard twelve feet from the
ground.
Two hundred ears Of choice sweet
corn had been fastes "a to- the - be-
fore II was hoisted into posirSoyS2ler-
sey believed the corn was uASthe
way of birds and that 1T wouiN r. cpe
disturbed.
One morning Hersey went ny the
back yard to zee how the corn was
preserving and was surprised to find
that twenty ears next to the south
post had been stripped of their kern
els. Just before dark he went to the
back yard and found the corn gone
from fifteen more ears.
Determined to catch the thief. Her
sey arose before daylight and con-
cealed himself in the back yard. At
about o'clock, he says, large Rhode
Island Red hen came to the back yard,
followed by score OF her chickens,
few up to the wire. walked along the
line until the good ears OF corn were
reached and began picking the kernels
from the cob.
Hersey AYERS that the hen shelled
the corn from the ear and that 1t
dropped to the ground where 1t was
greedily devoured by her chickens. He
says he watched the hen until she had
stripped two ears of the corn from the
cob and then interfered and drove
her and the chickens into the hen
house. where they will be kept until
he can ascertain whether his corn
preserving process Is a success or fall
ure.

RsptIIe Thought to Have Been In NJ
Mummy Chamber 20 Years.
BRISTOL. Tenn, - Imprisoned In O
vacuum In the heart of walnut log
2 feet In diameter for Is or 20 years Ia
the most unusual experience of black
snake of the racer type. according 10
authentic information vouched for by
N. L. Sellers. q millman Of johnson
City. Tenn.
The discovery Of this reptile was
made when the saw in the veneer plant
suddenly uncapped the vacuum. An ex.
animation of the unexpected chamber
In the heart OF a sound log OF walnut
revealed the 4-foot racer coiled in what
had up to that moment been herme-
tically sealed prison, the chamber be-
Ing as large as a mans Isad.-s The
snake. which had probably - dead
for many years, was still perfect In
form and retained It's shape until lifted
from It's snug position.
This IL not snake story in the
ordinary sense OF the term" said Self
ers when asked about It. "It Is fact
attested by all employees Of our mill.
The log. as nearly as am able to tell,
came to us in a shipment from Way
nesville, N. c. from which localitA -
have received some exceptionally
choice logs Of walnut. The suppositfon
Is that the snake climbed the tree and
slid down into hole caused by de-
cayed limb. How long the reptile may
have used this chamber as home,
one can only imagine. but II seems
to me natural to presume that by the
dropping of bit of bark. which dark
ened the small opening. the snake
found itself in prison from which It.
was never able to escape.
Death may have followed by sufro-
cation" Mr.. Settlers theories. "Na-
ture then began its process Of sealing
over the opening with new layers OF
timber. The depth of these layers in
dicates that the snake may have been
imprisoned 20 years. II not longer. Its
mummy chamber was beautifully po-
lished within. indicating that the
snake might have traversed its walls
for days or weeks before succumbing."

GOOD ROADS SAVED FRANCE.

/. Good roads have twice saved France
in the present war. Had it not been
for the radiating road system main
tanned by the French government the
Grmans would have won the battle
of the Marine and reached Paris. The
Germans had calculated on only three
ivisi nos betwtatisv lastaieshbenisg
divisions being sent out from Paris
to stop the invasion. Instead, the ex-
.cellent system of highways made it
POSSIBLE for five divisions to be sent
to this front.
Again, shortly after the battle Of
Vardun started, the French railroad
which was to furnish many of the
supplies to the troops was DESTROYED.
The French government, however. had
macadam road 80 feet wide on which
e""- Ines of traffic, two in eith.r di-
rection. were maintained. Day and
night $4,000 motor trucks carried men
and equipment.
"Tha traffic never. stopped. When
a hole was made in the road a man
with a shovelful OF rock slipped in
between the lines Of trucks and threw
the rock into the hole, then jumped
aside to let the trucks roll the rock
down. Farm ana Fireside.

SAVE

During the present intense War
Savings campaign we ara asked by
the President and Secretary McAdoo
to pledge ourselves to save and with
our savings to buy at definite times
special amount of War Savings
Stamps. Why should we be called
upon to do this and why should we
do it?
We are called upon to do it be-
cause, as President Wilson says, this
is war of nations, not of armies,
and everyone in the land must do
his share. So far more than 2,000,-
900 men have gone into the Army and
Navy and 100000 are to join before
August L. These 100000 men give
themselves as their donation to the
war. The remaining 97000,00O peo-
ria left Mt home must give something
else as their share.
IF we do rs the Government asks
and as we should. this. then, will be
the result: az We shall buv only
those things necessary to maintain us
in the best of health and spirits; (2l
by refraining from buying unneces-
sary things we shall leave in the
markets for Government use great
er supply of labor and material with
which to win quicker victory; ~
by not frittering our money away
on things that do not make for efficien-
cy we shall keep ourselves in better
health and increase our powers of
production; (4) by investing our saw
ings in War Savings Stamps we shall
be putting aside for those days which
inevitably come, if we live long
enough, the means to greater happi.
ness.
When so much can be accomplished
by joining in this War Savings cam.
paign, why should we not do it?
