CORN GREW ON HOUSE ROOF
Chosen by Nature to Produce
the staff Of Life.

For several weeks farmers on the
Lane road observed q green substance
on the roof of an abandoned house on
the lie Gale farm, says Gallney
Falls IN. W correspondent They
watched IL grow until il attained u
height Of feet. The men reported
the phenomenon, but were laughed. at.
However, Jabez Montow, who watch.
ed the green substance for four weeks,
invited the village president, II. Il.
Shots, and two others to accompany
him to the house for an Investigation.
The men accepted the invitation.
A ladder was obtained from the en-
CINE house, placed in an automobile
truck and the men went to the house.
There they found two stalks of corn
8 feet In length, with two large and
well-formed ears of corn on each stalk
protruding from the roof. The men
entered the garnet of the house and
found the hill of corn I'm mass of SCOT
and dirt, an accumulation of years.
The stalks were removed and
brought to town. They measured 0
feet in length, feet being beneath
the roof. The men each took an car
of corn. which is of the red variety,
for seed next season.

Worthy Son of Nippon.

One of the first japanese settlers in
California was Kanae Nagasawa, the
present owner of one Of the largest
wineries in the state. In 1855 the then
young Nagasawa was sent to Scotland
for education, by the prince of Sat
suma. While in Edinburgh he was
befriended by Mr.. Harris, founder OF
a certain religious faith Of high ideal
ism. In 1868 Harris came to the
United States to found an ideal col
ony, and Nagasawa accompanied him
to New York. where he stayed for
over ten years. When Harris estab-
iished a colony In Santa Rosa In 1880
Nagasawa was his confidant and fel-
low pioneer. BY his zeal and industry
he converted the wilderness into vine
yard and today his wines command the
highest prices in the markets Of Lon
don and Paris.

HERE YOU HAVE THE POILU
Brief Definition Of Man to Whom
Many Will Claim the World
Owes Its Salvation.

An humble man who, one July after
noon in 1914, left at two hours notice
his Partisan shop or workshop. or his
ripe wheat fields or his ripening vines,
for a military depot he had never lik-
ed, and had managed to tolerate only
because soldering and all things SOL
dierly are lkable to the Frenchman
and take on halo i'm his Imagination,
was packed to the Belgian frontier I;
made the acquaintance of danger I'M
der all its forms; fought, hungered-
hungered and thirsted-for days;
knew the trenches when they were in
their crudest novelty and worse than
the badgers hole: got wounded and
lay for hours, sometimes days, where
he had fallen, or crawled miles to
hurried surgeon and to the torturing
goods trucks pompOusly labeled san
itary trains; got well and went back
to the depot, and then back to the
front and to fighting or being shelled;
and so on during the four years, with
the ever disappointing certainty that
next winter must be the last" or
that imminent coming in Of this or
that nation must bring the end.

Aviator's Heart Enlarged.

Doctors Etienne and Lamy of Nancy,
France, have conducted series Of
N-ray examinations of the hearts of
aviatOrs and have found evidence of
considerable enlargement. The heart
enlargement sets in early in the fly
ing mans career, being noticeable
after five months of experience in
the air. The degree Of enlargement
is roughly proportional to the height
at which the aviator is accustomed
to fly, so that simple examination Of
the X-ray plate suffices to determine
mans branch of flying service;
whether he is doing chasing and
bombing work at high attitudes. or is
engaged at marrying infantry, etc, at
comparatively low attitudes.
The enlargement seems to be sym.
metrical, and 1t does not appear to in
volve serious trouble. 1t is due to
the hearts adapting itself to the ex-
ira work put upon it by changes In
the blood circulation because of the
varying conditions in the atmosphere
through which the aviator flies and
to the general happenings incident to
aviation.

day and sleeping there at night. From
her palace were sent out the ferociouS
proclamations of revolt that were instru-
mental In overthrowing the moderate So
cialist Government Of Kerensky and es-
tablishing the Bolshevists in power.
The Bolshevist revolution abolished the
imperial Ballet automatically by depriving
the institution OF all means of support.
One day, without warning, the doors or
the great Mariensky Theatre, the head
quarters of the great ballet, were closed.
If 1t had remained open, 1t is believed the
unrestrained mob might have wrecked the
building and attacked the performers.

broke into the building and plundered its
contents. Wind. rain and snow completed

with the produce Of this farm. With her
own hands she has raised potatoes, cab
bages rye, etc.
The brilliant dancer lives not unhap-
PLY in the little village. The simple mou-
jiks and their wives, who can neither read
nor write, do not know who she is and do
not care. She is as simple and unpretend-

Though her neighbors thought Matilda
was quite a graceful dancer, they paid
