SLEPT LATE THAT MORNING
Traveller In Sleeping Car Had His
Own Reasons for Not Wanting
to Turn Out Early.

A certain well-known local artist
who threatens dire doings IL we use
his real name and who Is In q position
to make good-was returning 20 Cieye-
land from Columbus the other night.
He had a lower berth, and when he re-
tired he noted that there was nobody
In the berth above him.
The evening was chilly and our friend
soon perceived the need OF another
blanket. He thought of the berth
above, reached his hand up and pulled
q blanket down. 1t came hard, but he
got It; and In a few minutes he was
comfortably asleep. But not before be
had wondered what made the blanket

There's no use in trying to work up
TO a climax In this yarn. The man
from whose sleeping form that blanket
had been dragged awoke with loud
complaints later in the night And his
words were so violent that u artist
friend feared to get up in the morn
ing. until all but him had fed. as the
old song hath it.-Exchange.

Farmers In sections where the acre
age Of wheat is unusually large are
urged by the department Of agriculture
to provide enough bins on the farm
to take care of their wheat when
thrashed. This Is said to be neces-
sary to save the wheat that will prob
ably pile up In certain localities, be-
cause the large crop is likely to put
a heavy strain IN storage elevators

wheat should be stored in bins on the

Burglary Among NonessentIaIs.

Among the nonessential industries
which are almost in a state of collapse
is the ancient and sinister one of bur-
glary. According to data furnished by
a burglary insurance company there
has been a decided and favorable
change in the attitude Of chronic
r~ecalcitrants since the executive proc
lamation Of a few weeks ago, direct
ing all ablebodied men between eight
cen and fifty years old to turn their
hands to industrial pursuits. The
draft, high wages and federal and
state surveillance promises to reduce
crime almost to the vanishing point.
Many sociologists and criminologists
of the modern school will point to this
as proof of their theories that poverty
is the principal cause Of crime. 1t will
no doubt be a potential argument in
favor of a revision Of criminal laws
after the war.

prepared by the United States Depart

The real cause of hog cholera Is a
very small germ found in the blood or
urine. 1t may be said that anything
which tends to lower the health of the
animal, such as improper feeding, in
sanitary conditions OF hog lots. damp
or cold sleeping places and dirty
drinking and feeding troughs may be
regarded as an indirect cause.
Since the disease can only be started
by the Introduction of the germ into
the herd and the organism Is always
present In the bodies of sick hogs and
Is thrown off In the feces and urine,
the most dangerous factor In spread
ing the disease is the sick animal.
It may get into the herd by sick
hogs escaping from a neighboring herd,
by the purchase Of new stock not
showing symptoms. by returning show
hogs after visits to fairs or stockyards,
and by the purchase of hogs which APP

We did not yet know what manner
of horror 1t was. None of us had ex-

ran to and fro like ants whose hill

was quickly obscure. We were SWIM

earth disappeared. The men staggered

There were some knots of soldiers
