This town celebrated the first ami
versary of Armistice day on Tues. last
with a parade and speeches. The
marching Yanks carried floral stars
done in red. white, and blue, each star
representing a local soldier who gave
his life in the line of duty.
To many of those who viewed the
procession of returned soldiers, it was
a matter of regret that so few of the
veterans were in line that each soldier
had to carry two stars.
And arriving at the capitol, it was
a matter of regret that only a hand
full of the townspeople were out to
participate in the ceremonies.
There are on both sides, perhaps
many reasons to be advanced which
will explain this seeming lack of in
terest in the significance of that day
When we mentioned the matter to a
soldier friend he said, We'll, how dc
you expect me to be in the thing when
l can't get off from my job?'
The civilian would probably say that
the day came too close TO fair week.
Anyhow, neighbors, can't we have
it next year so that our celebration or
Armistice day will reflect credit or
the community?
Those floral stars presented a pretty
sight, and the idea was acclaimed or
every side. We heard woman re-
mark that it would have been so much

FOREST FIRES RAGE
in WESTERN STATES
AGITATORS ON THE SCENE URG-
ING FIRE FIGHTERS TO DE-
MAND MORE PAY.

SPOKANE, Wash.-Rapid spread
ing fires in northern Idaho, western
Montana and eastern Washington
covering many thousand acres OF cut
over and virgin timber and new fires
reported almost hourly, caused much
concern today to the federal forest
service officials.
Appeals for men to fight the for
est fires have been made and every
man who could quality for the ardu-
Gus work of fighting the fires in the
mountainous regions of three states
were employed. They were sent I'M
mediately to the end of the railroads
and then by trails to the scenes OF
the fires.
The forest service was handlcapp-
ed in fighting the fires on Rattle
Snake creek, northeast of Missoula'
Mont, by agitators urging the fire
fighters to strike for fourteen hours
pay for twelve hours work. Twenty
four men quit in response to the agi-
tators' appeals.
The town of Newport, Wash, was
fighting tonight a fire that had coy
cred eighty acres and was a mile
from the towns limits. The wind,
however, was blowing away from the
town and little fear was felt. Other
towns threatened by the flames are
Heron, St. Regis and Alberton, Mont.
New fires were reported to the for
est service almost hourly. One of the
fires reported near Naples, Idaho,
had burned over forty acres of pr1-,
vate timber before a report of it had
been received by the federal forest
service officials. Near Heron, Mont,
a fire covering 5000 acres was con-
!! trolled by ninety-fve men.
Forest fires were also reported IN
the Wenatchee river valley in cen
trail Washington and in the Herman
creek forest in Oregon, forty miles
east of Portland, where 1,4OO acres
had been burned over.

The Rice Birds Free Ride

Size and strength are popularity
associated with victory, especially
among the lower animals, but in
many cases this is far from being
the case, particularly in the bird
world. Among the rice flats of the
Carolinas and along the Georgia
coast there abound at some seasons
tiny rice birds, birds so small that it
takes two dozen for a good meal,
even though bones and all are eaten.
The great buzzard is found cir
cling over the flats at all times. He
breads the time for the rice birds to
come, for he is then nearly pestered
to death, 1t is a common sight to see
one of these tiny creatures fly up to

buzzard, and, after lodging this
way and that around the awkward
bulk, finally alight well forward be-
tween the buzzard's wings on the
back. Here the little passenger grabs
a few feathers in his beak and holds
on for grim life. After enjoying
ride for as long as he desires the lit
tie fellow hops off and is gone.
The peculiar feature of the whole
performance is that apparently the
only purpose the rice bird has in get
ting on the back of the buzzard is to
take a free ride. 1t puzzles every
one who chances to see the little play
to find any other reason; yet the
fact remains that it is a frequent oc-
currence, and the little birds seem to
enjoy it hugely.

SHOWERS SEEM
LIKELY TO CONTINUE
NOTWITHSTANDING, WEATHER
MAN SAYS HE BELIEVES ST.
SWITHIN FALSE PROPHET.

The man who has his finger on the
pulse of the weather in this section
is skeptical about st. Swithin. Not
that he believes the old gentleman
was a writer of fiction or maybe a
revolutionary general or anything
like that; he merely takes no stock
in the dolorous belief that:
est. Swithin's day, if thou doest rain
For forty days it will remain.
ST. Swithin's day, if thou be fair. :,
For forty days twill rain ma mar. "
The fact that the heavens opened
on July Is, which is the Saints day,
and have not yet closed, and that
more showers are threatened, which
make thirteen days of more or less
rain somewhere around about, has
not converted the weather man, who
saws fatty that he doubts if st. SWlth-
in had anything to do with the per-
sistent moisture. In fact, he says, 1T
is more than possible that the rainy
spell, so far from lasting forty days.
will take itself off right away, and
the world will rediscover the exist
ence of the sun and clear skies.
1t must be confessed, however, that
the governments diagnostician was
not as ready as he usually is to ex-
plain Just why it started and has
kept on raining. He has had to ad-
nit that there is no particular baro-
metric Glow" over the flooded zone,
no special atmospheric formation;
He further comedies that prolonged
precipitation is not usual just at this
time. In short he has no theory TO
account for continued heavy ram
falls. and has to fall back on an
avowal that this is merely a sum-
mer rain"
It really hasn't rained such a ter,
rible lot: dark skies and frequent
showers have contrived to give a
false appearance of pluviosity.>.
The temperature has continued
HIGH and so has the humidity, even
between showers. Farmers are de-
messed because of their inability to
fight the boil weevll.

A SEA HOG KILLS SIX-FOOT
SHARK IN A THRILLING FIG HIT
Fishermen Witness Battle OFF the
Texas Gulf Coast.

GALVESTON, Tex.-How a bot
tle-nosed dolphin, a purpose COM
monty called the sea hog, slew six
foot shark is described by fishermen
who say they witnessed the killing
from the causeway which connects
Galveston island with the mainland.
The sea hog, according to the books,
is a "most sociable and gregarious
fish," but these fishermen declared
there was nothing sociable about this
dolphin. When the shark was within
few feet of the porpoise the fisher
men saw the sea hog charge, gray
streak of water. 1t struck the shark
squarely amidships, they declare,
ripped it open and then tore the
body into pieces. The theory of the
fishermen is that the porpoise fought
to protect its single young one, which
the shark was menacing.

The American Hen.-The American
chicken of today is largely an artln-
cial product. Like the modern 1ash-
ionable mother the hen turns over ner
maternal duties to nurses.
In her case, however, it Is not oe-
cause she so wishes. She would like
to hatch and rear her own young put
she isn't "let."
There is an old joke about the little
value of "hen time" But the truth Is
that hen time is very valuable ana Is
not to be wasted in sitting on bunch
of thirteen eggs and clucking, about a
few fledglings in pursuit OF the eiu-
sive worm.
She must be pursuaded to lay as
many eggs as possible, to be hateheu
IN an incubator, and mothered In a
"brooder." Thus she becomes IN erect
wholesale producer.
On big chicken farms nowadays IN.
cubators are operated in batteries
turning out the baby birds by tens o!
thousands. Controlled by electricai
means. their temperature is auto
matically regulated, and the output III
comparably more sure than any crop
of beans or potatoes.
The American hen last year iaio
fortv-two billions of eggs. II all Oh
these were one egg, is would welgn
2 s25 900 short tons and a fowl Dig
enough to lay it would be two-thirds
Of mile high.
The total value of these eggs was
more than twice as much as the net
proceeds of all the freight and pas
senger traffic of the railroads OF the
United States. 1t was gooo oeai
more than five times the value OF all
the gold and silver taken out OF our
mines during the same twelvemonth
The average hen lays 12O eggs IN a
voar. But the late lamented Lady
Eglantine, a white Leghorn, produced
314 eggs in 365 days, which shows
what a real American lady chicken can
do when she exerts herself to the Ut
most.

Mrs. Benson was of a very thrifty

Water as a Medicine.-Until very
recently people suffering from fever
were denied water. "A little cracked
ice to relieve the thirst, but no water"
said the doctor.
Thus the patient, craving water, was
Systematically starved for exactly the
thing he most needed.
Today the enlightened physician, in
a fever case, prescribes quantities OF
waterfall the sufferer can be per-
suaded to drink. 1t is beyond a doubt
that water-deprivation under the old
method has killed its tens Of thou
sands.
The water has two good effects. 1t
tends to reduce the fever, and II
flushes out the alimentary canal, incl
dentally getting rid Of the bacterial
"taxins" that are true poisons.
Nowadays, in all kinds Of sicknesses'
the thing Of first importance is to ac-
complish a thorough and immediate
cleansing Of the patients inside works.
Water, the universal solvent" is used
for the purpose, helped perhaps by a
little medicine.
Thus in a case Of acute indigestion
or of ptomaine poisoning, the sufferer
Is required to swallow glass after glass
of water as hot as he can drink-as
much water as he can manage to pour
!, into himself. The simple treatment
supplemented by five half grain doses
of calomel at half-hour Intervals
brings quick recovery.
There used to be quite a fad for
drinking one or two tumblers OF moi
water before breakfast every day. Ex-
cellent idea. But it is not an agreea-
BILE dose, and water at the temperature
of the air will serve the purpose 1us'
as well. Most people who make a
habit of taking drugs to encourage
nroper functioning Of the body viii
find that a daily pint Of water before
breakfast is equally serviceable.
The benefits derivable from the wa
ters of mineral springs have for cen
turtles gained popularity and profitable
patronage for various spas IN TINS
| country and abroad, but the fact Is
that the salts contained In them nave
little to do with their curative enects
