PREFER LONG, SMOOTH CORN
of Ear Will Stand More Grief
Than Other Types.

Over a large part of Nebraska they
have come to the conclusion that
corn with along, smooth ear will ordi-
narlly stand more grief and yield more
than corn Of the sO-called show type.
The Nebraska station has four years
of experimenting which indicates that
the large, rough type of ear yields an
average of 81 bushels to the acre; the
short, rough, 81 bushels; the short,
smooth. 81 bushels, and the long, slim,
smooth, 50 bushels. For some reason
corn with long, slim, smooth ears that
partake slightly of flint Characters
tics, stands trouble better than the
more fancy-looking corn of central
Iowa and Illinois.

car. Air. cooled by the ice. Is heavier
than warm air. and travels downward
and out along the floor of the car, dis
placing the warm air above it and thus
cooling the load. Raising the load on
open floor racks helps distribute the
cold air from the ice bunkers and in
creases air circulation, which Is nee
essary to protect the produce from
damage. The question of insulation
for the floor ends and sides Of the car
is also important and air spaces must
be provided between the rows Of con-
tainers so that all the load will be kept
cool. All these problems and a stand
ard type of refrigerator car has been
designed by the department Of agri-
culture. Some of these improved cars
have been built by the railroad admin
istratiOn and are giving satisfactory
results.
How Others Can Help.
Improvement Of refrigerator cars
cannot be depended upon to eliminate
all of the present enormous loss In
handling fruits and vegetables, ac-
cording to the bureau of markets.
Farmers can help by more careful
picking, grading and packing, and ship
pers and dealers by more attention to
loading and handling fruits and vege-
tables.

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
About 100000 carloads Of
fruit and vegetables are shipped
to market every year in refrig-
orator cars.
The average loss on these
shipments from decay is esti-
mated at lis per cent, or a
total Of 1920 carloads-about
1,1S0,000,000 pounds of food.
These figures do not include
losses on cars shipped without
ice or with insufficient ventila-
ton, among which there is also
heavy loss of fruits and vege-
tables.
Improved refrigerator cars,
packing, loading, and bracing
would reduce these losses, ac-

Game Laws WorkIno We'll.

Wild duck and wild geese, since the federal migratory bird law took full effect under a special treaty with Canada and Great Britain, have been steadily increasing. They have grown more tame, too, and in places where they have found welcome and where they have been fed and protected they now flock by the thousands. In the city limits of Oakland, Cal there is small lake where wild geese and ducks have been fed, and within a few years that lake, even though 1t be within the city, has come to be the mecca of thousands upon thousands of ducks which in previous years were unseen there.

Animals With Third EyeIld.

, Sir John Bland-Sutton, senior sur geon of Middlesex Hospital Medical school in London, is authority for the statement that all animals, except men and monkeys, possess third eyelid. Many people have noticed how birds, notably the turkey, operates this third lid by means of special muscles. The turkey is constantly winking without knowing that 1t does so. The third lid in this case is an opaque white cur tain, but in certain birds and animals, and in some fishes, the third lid is a transparent covering. The lizard of trans-C Caspian deserts uses it's trans parent lid as protection against sand, while the American fish known as the star-gazer uses it effectively for watch ing it's prey. It is interesting to note that the prey is secured through the operation of powerful electrical mus cles, and considerably over 90 small swimming fish so caught have been found in the interior of a star-gazer.

"But you can go around this way, boys" she ended. q want to get my shoes pol ished."
 Ted watched her and after she had left them he told the other boys that she was not fooling them this time about her weariness. Didn't you hear her say she wasn't able even to black her own shoes?" he asked amazedly.

WaItzina Mouse Going.
And what about waltzing mice

And what about waltzing mice?
 There was a time when they were as common as goldfish, the Minneap- olis Journal states.
 Pet lovers would house dizzy fam lilies of them. They would whirl around, in pairs, on any small space, such as an inverted tumbler, till they looked like spokes in a black and white wheel.
 But nowadays, if you decided to make a jolly present to your youngest nephew, you couldn't find Japanese waltzing mouse in the country.
 It Is true that their dervish dance is out of date in this age of shimmy shakers. But that doesn't account for their extinction.
 The war, which took so many lives, reached even to the mouse world. Breeders no longer raise these eccen. tric little creatures, according to Ed Hooey, the bird and fish man. Per. haps they still live in Japan, where they are kept through immigration laws. But as far as this country goes, these busy pets of children are now but memory.

PR0vED THAT COURTESY PAYS
New York Business Man Dates Be- ginning of Success From Little Act
 That Seemed Insignificant.

In System Leopold Wertheimer de- scribes the methods that helped his business grow from a tiny shop to a chain of five big department stores in New York city. Speaking of his start in business, he says:
 "One of the merchandising plans that I learned the first day in my little store is that the unusual courtesieS which a merchant gives his customers are often the most appreciated. As corollary to that, the man or woman who actually spends the money is not always the most profitable person to- ward whom merchant can direct his good-will-building efforts.
 "One of my first customers was a nursemaid who hesitated in front of the door; just what to do with the baby carriage seemed a puzzle. I stepped over, held open the door and said: Madam, baby carriages are very welcome in my store. Wheel it right inside"
 'The girl it turned out was nurse in the family of successful young lawyer. Soon the lawyers wife began to buy in my store; very few days after that her husband stepped up to the mems furnishings department in- troduced himself and bought d nice bill of goods. The whole family soon came to be listed as perhaps my best customers-all as a result of my court esy to a maid.
 "Soon I put sign in the window ''Baby olrriages welcome" My baby carriage trade increased so much that there was not room in ny store for the carriages at times. l hired a girl, dressed her up as maid ard had

Syn0psls or preceding chapters:
 Muggerby Biffgang Is a dangerous criminal-a gambler for high stakes man mighty hard to catch because of his uncanny impersonal genius. The detectives follow him to restaurant of underworld rendezvous, surround the place, put squad on the roof and two under the cellar.
 They go in, only to find waiter and several customers. They search and research the place, arrest the whole bunch, only to find that Mug gerby Biffgang had been the very, cook who had generously given them each a piece of dried apple pie and whom in gratitude they had left behind. Things are getting desperate for the police force. Several times they have burst into his gambling den only to find nothing; no faro tables, no rou- lette wheel; not even deck of Old Maid cards.
 Dear, dear Then one day. Chin chilla, the pretty daughter of Span ish sombrero, rushed into headquar- ters and informed the police of a dan gerOus counterfeiting den. She has heard the clinking of coins, and curses. But the police fly on the instant and it is only when they have gone 40 miles that they remember they had forgotten to ask Chinchilla where the den was.
 However, they SCOUT and find it and break in upon the counterfeiters with yielded clubs and drawn revOIvers. And Joy of Jubilations Who should be the leader of the band but the treacherous thug, Muggerby Biffgang, the great and dangerous gambler of millions! Seizing the unlawful para phernalia, they kick the whole gang into jail. But mystery of mysteries
 The only things they find in the junk are double-headed pennies. The plot is apparent. In shooting the pennies and by taking heads, the gang al- ways played to win. Very simple. The warden of the jail asks each pris- oner the same queer question. Do you play checkers?" Afraid that this is some sort of trap they each say "N0!" very vehemently.
 But Muggerby, when his turn comes, is so deep in thought that his caution deserts him and he says: "Yes!" The next day all the prisoners are released but Muggerby, who is given years sentence with II months off for good behavior.

 Dear warden" asked Muggerby, 20 years later, now white-haired man, "why, when my sentence was a year, have you kept me 20 years?'
 Because, dear prisoner, you were the onl3 one who could beat me at checkers around here, and I've kept you here until found out all of your pet moves" answered the warden, wondering why Muggerby had never asked him before.-Detroit Free Press.
