JUST WHY is a GUINEA HEN?

the Breed.

Whoever designed the guinea hen
and composed the music for her vocal
organs must have used rasp for a
tuning fork. Guinea hens and their
husbands are alike in appearance ;
when you've seen one you've seen the
other. Their plumage is of one and
the same piece of goods, like the Quak-
ers'. If ever you have INDUCED in fl
Ing the teeth of cross-cut saw, you've
heard the synonym of her melody.
Nature cid herself a dreadful injus-
tice when she produced this variety of
fowl and the farmer who gives her
board and lodging is no good Chris

sells you guinea hen as youthful and
tender has designed to skin you. l

War and the "Weather Man."

In this war the weather man." the
meteorologist, has come into his own.
No one laughs at him now. His in
formation is desired by the artillery
officer who has to know the tempera-
ture of the air and it's moisture con-
tent, the strength of the wind at diff
ferent levels, and the like, in order
that he may aim his gun. When the
temperature is lowering about the
freezing point, the staff wish to know
if the imprOvised roads will be frozen
sufficiently to permit the movement of
guns or mOtOrtrucks. The captains of
the air squadrOns must know the con-
dition of the atmosphere up to heights
of 10000 feet. The Importance of
the information may be judged from
the fact that we were asked repeatedly
if there was not some way by which
the American weather reports could
be kept from reaching Germany. Our
reply had to be that, with Mexico
where it was, nothing could be DONE

WouIdn't Keep Sugar He Found.


Washington has another honest
man. He's Edward B. Maddox, who,
after suffering for the last two months
from the sugar famine, turned $40
pounds of the precious stuff" over
to the Washington police. He had
found a barrel of granulated sugar
near the substation of the Potomac
Electric company. Evidently the bar
rel had been dropped by truck. Mad
dox has been able to get less than two
pounds of brown sugar a week, he
said. The amount Of sugar he found,
on the war basis, would have lasted
him four years. He was not regret
full, however, that he had turned the
sugar over to the police to find it's
rightful owner.-Washing Times.

Eugene Skies, the older son

himself in the leg on last Sun

Skies were away from home
when the accident occurred.
In their absence Eugene found
his fathers revolver and had
breeched the weapon. In
throwing it back into position
it fired and inflicted a flesh
wound in the left thigh. A
large muscle DETECTED the
ball, which otherwise might
have severed the artery, the
doctor said. The young man
remained with his brother
until his parents returned
sometime after the accident,
and then the doctor was sum
moned.
Young Skies has not suffered
