FINDS DIAMOND IN TURKEY
Birds Unusual Voice Is Accounted for
When Policeman Kills Him for
YuIetide Feast.

Philadelphia.-The proverbial goose
that laid the golden egg is a back num-
Der to the turkey Policeman John
Burke rendered his family at
Yuletide. The priceless bird was de-
scribed recently by Burke to his fellow
coppers at the Thirty-nfnth and Ian
caster avenue police station.
'"This year I decided l must have a
turkey" said Burke. 81 priced one
and when told it was 40 cents a pound

WEAK IN AIR AT THE START
rons of AirpIanes, but Made
Rapid Strides.

London.-The declaration of war by
Great Britain at midnight, August 3,
1914, found the Royal Flying corps
with only four %squadrons in being
representing well under 100 airplanes.
Three of these squadrons went instant
ly to France. A new squadron fol-
lowed these pioneers in about ten days
time, while a fifth squadron modified
and set out in "a hours, reaching the
fighting zoIse about the middle of Sep
TENDER.
In those early days of the war ma
chimes were used simply for strategical
reconnaissance. 1t was not until after
the battle of the Aisne, when settled
lines of warfare were established, that
artillery fire control from the air and
the cruder forms of cooperation with
the infantry were practiced and de.
velOped.

ACTIVE To The LAST
Marines Fight on Until Armistice
Is Declared.
paign by Capture of the
Mouse.

Washington.-That marines were ac-
tive in the world war up to the mo-
ment hat the armistice went into eff
feet is evidenced in a division order
signed by Major General John A. Lee
jeune, U. S. marine corps, command
ing the Second division in France, q
copy of which has just been received
in Washington.
According to the order the Devil
Dogs last act in the universal drama
was a final and definite conquest of
the Mouse river, where line after line
of marines crossed on bridges hastily
thrown across the stream by the Sec
Ond engineers.
The Fifth and Sixth regiments of
marines, which received their bap-
tism of fire at Chateau-Thierry, head
ed the Second American division I'M
der General Lejeune. On November 10
they had reached the Mouse, where
the Germans had thrown up strong
intrenchments on the east bank.
Bridging the river was a hazardous
feat, but it was accomplished by the
American engineers under heavy ar
tillery fire. Crossing the stream on
bridges but two feet in width was a
still more hazardous business. But
apparently the marines consider
nothing too hazardous to at least at
tempt.
With the enemy's artillery and ma
chine guns pouring an incessant fire
upon these slender straws of passage,
the marines advanced. Time after
time ar enfilade of fire swept rows Of
them into the swirling Meuse-but
they advanced.
The crossing finally effected, they
pressed on with undaunted courage
and stormed the Huns stronghold on
the east bank. The Germans gave way
before the impetus of that furious
charge and the marines again found
themselves victors in their last great
battle of the war.

GOOD PRICE FOR CRADLE
The Family Relic Brings 500 for the
Red Cross Fund in
Kansas.

Cottonwood Falls, kant is not
every mar who has the satisfaction of
seeing the old-fashioned cradle in
which he was lulled to sleep more than
forty years ago sell at an auction sale
for the Red Cross for 500 cash by
way of finishing up its days of useful
ness.
This, however, was the experience
Of e. G. and A. T. Crocker of this
county, extensive cattle men and large
land owners, the latter state senator
of this district.
At the public auction of A. T. Fent,
a hatfield farmer, the much-used and
old-fashioned cradle, which had done
service for the Croker brothers, was
offered for sale. 1t was bid in many
times and was finally sold and retained
by N. Gosler, cashier of the hatfield
Green State bank, after it had brought
in receipts totaling 500.

SMUGGLING BY AIR
Powerful AirpIanes Being Used on
Mexican Border.
Authorities Say That contraband
Traffic Is Carried Across
Rio Grande.

Laredo, Text is the firm convic-
ton of Mexican customs officials on
the lower Rio Grande border that
systematic smuggling by means of
powerful airplanes is being conducted
between that country and the United
States. The American authorities on
this side of the international boun-
dairy are not yet convinced that con-
traband goods are being carried in
this manner from one country to the
other, although they freely admit that
it is possible if not very probable that
this is being done.
If evasion of the export and import
duties by this means is not already
being carried on it is only a question
of time when the airplane will be
brought into service for that purpose,
it is predicted by custom officials here
and at other places on the Mexican
border.
1t is with considerable circumstan-
tial detail that the story is told of
the aerial traffic by professional
smugglers. Jose Longoria, a Mexican
river guard stationed at San Ignacio,
about sixty miles below Laredo, made
a report to his superior officer about
three weeks ago that while on duty
late at night he saw moving lights
pass high above him and heard the
whirr of a motor. The object was
headed north and came from some
point to the south in Mexico. Similar
reports We're made by other Mexicans
who asserted that they saw the
strange aerial machine go back and
forward across the Rio Grande on sew
eral different nights. Up to this time
no confederation of the stories told by
the MeXicans have come from Amerl-
can river guards.
It is recommended by the custom
authorities of both Mexico and the
United States who are on duty along
the Rio Grande that airplane control
service be established on both sides
of the river at the earliest possible
time.

Bird Saves Boys Life
on French Battlefield

Manchester, N. H.-How a
bird on a battlefield of France
indirectly saved the life of Pri-
vate Edward Lassonde of the
United States heavy artillery
was told by the young man in
a letter to his father.
Lassonde said that he was
riding on a caisson loaded with
ammunition when a bird began
to circle about his head. 1t
flew so close that it's wings al
most brushed Lassonde's cap.
Finally the young soldier sprang
from his seat and ran after
the bird. Just then a German
shell struck the caisson and it
went up with a mighty explo-
sion. The Manchester boys
chase of the bird saved him
from injury or death.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Riverside

During these warm summer nights
the Riverside theatre is a delightful
place to spend an evening. Broad
ventilators open directly on the river
front and the cool breezes sweep thru
the place. The amateur exhibition OF
vaudeville artists every Wednesday
night is becoming one of the most
popular features ever introduced by
Manager Martin. 1t is surprising how
many children there are in Penns
Grove who have talents in this line,
and even the grown-ups are beginning
to come forward. Don't hide your
light under a bushel. Come out and
show what you can do. Another fine
feature is also shown every Friday
hight in tie vaudeville movies. You
cannot see such fine performances OF
acrobats, trained animals, ETC., outside
of the large cities.

Hight Grade Boxing

The management of the Penns
Grove boxing arena has evidently
started to make good the assertion
that some Of the best boxers in the
country are going to appear in Penns
Grove.
Tonight, for instance, Lew Tender,
the legitimate lightweight champion
of the world is to meet Packey HON.
mey, of New York. Hommey has met
some Of the best men in the country
in his class and is one of the toughest
lightweights before the public. Tend
Ter has the attention of the boxing
world to-day. By knocking out Geo.
CLANCY, of Baltimore, in jig time on
Wednesday night, Tender has set the
local pugilistic world talking in re-
gard to his chances of some day be-
coming tn lightweight champion Of
America.
That Tender does not fear the out
come of the match with Benny Leon
ard at the lightweight limit is proven
by the fact that his manager has
made Benny a tempting offer to meet
him here for six rounds, OF elsewhere
in a longer contest. Last week
Tenders manager offered Leonard a
guarantee of s15 5000 to meet Lew, the
only consideration being the weight
should be 1873 pounds. The fans will
surely get their moneys worth tonight
and it's a safe bet the house will be
packed to the limit of its capacity.
The ether good things IN to-night's
card are Harry kid Brown, the high
school boy, and Young Weyman; John
ny lyman and frankie Erne; Muggsy
Rutter and Frank Ness.
Boxing fans, you want to bear this
in mind-the management has gone to
big expense and some risk in bringing
Tender here. If the experiment
meet with proper support You vii!
see such men as Johnny Dundee and
Willie Jackson on the mat here, and
an effort will also be made to have
Benny Leonard meet Tender here.
Proper support on your part Will de-
eide.
