been impossible for anyone TO have lifted 1t and

cared to take the risk of catching 1t In Its wild

less than a second after the shout was raised the
plucky Yankee boatswain's mate dashed down the

after the fashion that football players throw

Three times he had his about 1t, but each

safely to the deck.

How English Aviator Exercised

a VIATORS were often compelled to destroy
~ their own machines to prevent the Ger
mans from obtaining some jealousy guard
ed secret about the type of aircraft. This is
a story of an aviator who did that at the cost Of
his own life.
There were two men-the pilot and his observer
in the latest flying boat which England's aircraft
builders had turned out. The two flyers were we'll

off from their companions The pilot headed for
home. out the engine suddenly "ded."
hasty examination showed the pilot that only
repair shop and squad of expert mechanics
could hope to make the engine run again. He
told the observer so, and the two men--the OBJ
server was really little more than boy-sat down
to watch and wait with the hope that a British
patrol boat would come along and pick them up
The night came on and the young observer fell
asleep. The pilot sat on the deck-coaming and
listened alr the night through. In the morning
the fog lifted and the observer looking out over
the waters, caught sight Of little black smudge
on the horizon, which grew steadily in size and
behind it another smudge and another. It was a
patrol flotilla rapidly approaching them. The bow
was elated.

ESSENTIALS FOR Sue

Successful parcel post market
ing Of butter requires that ex-
IRENE care be taken to insure
the delivery of a satisfactory
product to the customers. The
following are a few of the inn
portant considerations in mar
keting butter successfully by
parcel post:
/. A uniformly high-quality
product should be produced
2. 1t should be properly packed
In neat and attractive packages
8. The shipping container used
should amply protect the butter
from deterioration and damage.
4. The packages should bear
the address of the sender and be
properly addressed to the Gus
toner.
5. The most expeditions mail
service from the mailing once
should be used to insure the de-
livery Of the butter in the best
condition.

Gently hung negro there. No one

may be that Kenosha might never

Is one that should be guarded

Records Lost to People.
Little has been said of the most
serious outcome of the mob rule in
Omaha. That county lost practical
ly all of its records as result of
the fire which was started by the
mob. If the Jail had been located
in an adjoining building or on some
other lot the damage would not
have been one-ifth what it was. All

Members of the board said TO-DAY
that they would insist on such

the board, which meets next Tues

continue the work on the proposed
court house at this time. New plans
for the court house with the Jail
eliminated may be ready for the
consideration of the board but it is
doubtful if the plan will be seriously
considered and the board may sug-
gest that a plan be secured with a
ground floor jail
