FEMALE TURTLE PROVES
"a TRUE TO DEAD MATE.
In Her Grief She Lays Fl Eggs Be-
side the Dispatched Snapper.

GRISWOLD, Conn.-No faunal ia
BILE is this tale of the devotion of q
big swapping turtle to her mate, but
It Is vouched for by two good men
and true, Frank Geer and Clifford Barr
Of OF burough Of Jewett City.
The two young men were riding
along the road near Butts ridge re-
Gently when they spied an enormous
turtle blocking the way. In order to
prevent the forty-pounder from slip
ping back into the swamp the young
fellows held him by the tail till they
could decide what to do.
As they had nothing IN the shape OF
weapon. it was planned that Barr
should stand upon the turtles back
while Geer went to a farmhouse half q
mile away to borrow an ak. These
measures suited the young men but
the turtle objected strenuously and
set on toward the swamp. However,
Barr was able to retain his footing ON
the shell until Geer returned, when a
few blows Of the ak ended the big fell
lows career.
The young men were going on q
business errand, SO determined to
leave the cadaver of the. turtle In q
grain sack beside the road until their
return.
When they came back q few hours
later they were amazed to see the tur.
ties mate gliding of. after having laid
tweEty-one big. white eggs In a hole
which she had dug beside the sack
containing her consort's remains"
1t was evident by her actions that
she realized in some instructive way
that something was wrong. She man.
aged to escape. but Greer and Barr
have the twenty-one eggs and the de-
funct Papa Turtle.

one Of the best hunters In this sect.
ion. This winter when the State Con.
servation Commission granted per-
mission to use ferrets for hunting rab-
bits in Oswego County. Mr.. Stubs
neighbors over the line "joshed" him
because he could not enjoy the same
privilege. The neighbors would hunt
with ferrets, returning home nights
with rabbits which they would dis
play to Mr.. Stubs.
But Mr.. Stubs was not to be OUT
done. A few mornings ago his neigh
bors saw him start out with gun and
q bag over his shoulder. They called
to him that he would get caught with
his ferret" but he laughed. Late in
the afternoon he returned home with
ten rabbits which he showed to his
neighbors.

Rats recently got into his cellar and
were eating his vegetables. He set
. box trap and a few days later
caught an extra large rat. He made
. metal collar, placed it around the
rats neck and fastened a long wire
to the collar. Then he placed the rat
In bag and started out.
Mr.. Stubs traced a rabbit to its
hole, fastened the end of the wire to
his belt and, released the rat. The
rat entered the hole and drove out
the rabbit. which was shot. The rat
was pulled from the hole, put in the
bag and the hunt continued until ten
rabbits had been shot.
Mr.. Stubs says the rat Is better
than q ferret for the reason that II
will not attack rabbit. He has nam
ed It "Billie." Other Oneida County
hunters are planning to try tame
white rats on the rabbits, but Mr..
Stubs AYERS they will not work.

his pocket and within reach of his
hand enabled A. F. Moore to save the
life of his wife and himself when they
were trapped under their automobile
which overturned on a road near here.
The upholstering of the car was press
ed against their faces SO that they
were smothering, but by using the
scissors Mr.. Moore enabled his wife

"Self-made Exiles"

We have had something to say
in the past concerning the man
who shirks his duty to his coun-
try, whether that duty was of a
financial or a military nature.
Naturally, these structures have
not set well with those whom
they hit; and II has been whisper
ed that the little country weekly
is capable of stirring up great
deal of strife, all of which is
wrong, etc. The truth is, every
American paper (and soon there'll
be only American papers) have
said the same. The very head
aud front of our offending, how
ever, lay in the fact that the ex-
pressions uttered by the NEws re-
lated to local, as well as general,
conditions, and If those TO whom
said structures have been offensive
believe the NEws is alone with
reference TO the sentiments cx-
pressed, they have another guesF
coming it is general, personal
and pressing and will be handed
down to posterity.
As an illustration that the
trOuble-makers are not confined
to country newspapers we are
quoting from a journal of national
renown an editorial that carries
no comfort to the Stacker" This
journal was founded in 1928 by
Benjamin Franklin, is published
in the staid old city of Philadel-
phia and cannot be accused OF
radicalism, nor do we believe II
possessed of an insane desire. Ia
stir up trouble On the contrary,
II is more widely read, perhaps,
than any journal published in
America, and the NRws is proud
to be found in its company. Or

under the caption "Self.mads
Exiles", it neatly lifts the hide oI

manner
Liberty Loan and Red Gross

MOTOR TRUCK
AND RAILWAY
COOPERATION

Solution OF our Def0gged trans

the addition of the motor truck to
our land shipping facilities, but in
the utmost cooperation between the
motor truck and the railroad, W.
o. Rutherford, General Sales Mana
ger Of The b. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company, told large assemblage Of
highway boosters at Columbus this
week. Economy. he pointed out,
comes through magnificent co-opera-
ton Of public and private utilities
and to put the truck on competit-
i've basis with the steam road rather
than cooperating with 1t was to
chance waste'o money and time.
Let the railroads take care Of
the long hauls and the motor trucks
the short hauls." was the message
left by Mr.. Rutherford. To substan-
tiate the soundness of this plan he
cited the government rule in Britain
today--motor trucks carrying all the
freight within a twenty-five mile
zone and trains everything beyond.
I'm our enthusiasm" he continued.
I'VE must not underrate the economy
or the efficiency Of adequate railroad
transportation. True, we know that
In q great national emergency. the
railroads have failed. but imagine
for instance. a freight car loaded with
fifty tons of coal going from Penn

The mining situation in Utah, for
the year, 1917. is summarized as
follows: The yield of gold, silver,
copper, lead. and zinc. from the
mines OF that state in 1917 had a
value Of over s1O6, 900 900. an in
crease of nearly $17.000.000 over
1915. This is record value for the
state output, reached largely because
Of the high price Of silver. copper and
lead. There was decrease in the
output OF gold, lead and zinc, but
the increase in the output Of silver
and copper. and. the higher prices
greatly increased the total value.
