CRIPPLE CREEK MINES
ARE GETTING BUSY NOW

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo.-With
the gradual return to full crews in
Cripple creek mines, indications
point to resumption of metal oper-
ations in this district on scale un-
precedented since the United States
entered the war.
The machinery at one mine has
been overhauled and it is said an
other mining company soon will re-
sumo operations. One company al
ready has resumed operations, on a
limited scale and another mine own
er is preparing to start work again.
With the close of the war many
mining men who left for more profit
able fields have returned.

HAPPENED IN THE STONE AGE
Beautiful Love Story Of How Cave
Man Showed His Great Devotion
for His Mate.

Club, the cave man. hurried ho,Ge
through the early dawn. Sluns from
his shoulder were three large stones,
and ON his face was an anxious grin,
Al the door of the cave stood Rla, the
cave woman. a Scowi OF wrath In her

Club gulped when he saw her. and
hastily set the stones on the ground.

with tug AT her black hair. But
these Establishments were all lost on
Rla, the stony-hearted. who fixed him
In the eye with the largest knot on
the club.
"Have n heart. swcetie"--or words
to that effect--begged Club.
AT the sound of his voice, Bla broke
into prehistoric snufflr and removed
the club from her mates eye.
"Where have you been?" she shifted.

over with those nasty. lowdown tree
dwellers rolling bones TIL all hours,
with your wife and children waiting
for you and thinking you had been
run over by a glacier, and the best
ichthyosaurus stew you ever saw go
Ing to waste. O.! Boo, Hoo!"
Breaking into loud, paleolithic sobs,
Bla once more brought the club to
bear upon her spouse's pithecanthropIc
map. Club was grieved and her re-.
proaches made him feel guilty. so he
Knocked her down alphabetically and
confessed that she was right. He had
been rolling bones with Sweek, the
tree dweller.

The people refused to accept this Of

was nourIshed at the time by the fact
that the coffin Of the crown prince at
the funeral was extremely small. while

MEDIUM AND HEAVY HORSES
Market Preferences Are Now for
Orafters and Southern Chunks,
According to Reports.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Although horses on farms slightly
decreased In number In the United
States in 1913, this general fact Is by
no means true in all sections. 1t Is
true In the North from the Atlantic
Ocean to Iowa and Missouri. and on
the fact in one-half Of the South, and
in nearly the whole region between
the Mississippi river and the coast
states. except Iowa. Missouri. Arkan-
sas, Texas, and Oklahoma.
In the North and In the Pacific
states the kind Of horse that Is pre-
ferred on and off farms Is changing.
The automobile owner does not want
driving horse and the farmer with
an automobile does not need dual
purpose horse--a work animal that
will also serve as road horse. Me-
dium and heavy draft horses are the
new requirements.
This tendency Is reflected In prices
In the Chicago market the mean price
Of draft horses rose from Sill in the
five years, 190l-19O5, to $213 in 1914
The mean price declined In the early
period Of the war to S2O5 I'm 1915, but
assembled to SOP in 1916. fell to S2lc
In 1917, and recovered to $500 In 1918
or 30 per cent above the mean price
Of the five years, 1901-19O5. The class
Of horses known In the Chicago mar
ket as general" had the mean Of $14?
In the first five years Of the century
and reached as high mark as $16F
In 1913, but the mean for 1918 was
1852. or 6 per cent above that Of the
five years.
Carriage teams and drivers are small
features of the market. There Is little
demand for them and the supply CORE
spends. However. snowy carriage
teams sold for $500 to $4,000 In
1913. "Bussers and trammers" have
been fully out Of the market for sew
eral years.
The active southern demand for the
southern chunks" sent the mean price
IN Chicago from SOL In the five years
19O1-19O5 to 500 in 1913. followed by
$SS in 1915. 500 in 1916. 500 In 1917
and 500 in 1913, a gain Of AZ per cent

FEARED "SHARk GODS"

Because they believed construc-
ton of the gigantic drydock at the
Pearl Harbor naval station had de-
stroyed its home, number of ma
tives recently offered sacrifice of q
pig and a chicken to the SHARK
god" one of the ancient Hawaiian
deities.
When, number of years ago, hy-
drostatic pressure wrecked the floor
of the drydock when work was first
started, many native Hawaiians de-
clared it was a manifestation Of the
wrath of the shark god, which had
been driven from it's honte, .and with
the huge basin Of concrete now near
ing completion it was decided to
avert another mishap by making a
sacrifice to appease the anger of the
evicted god"
The slaughtered pig, and chicken
were supposed to have been thrown
to the sharks Of Pearl Harbor, but
rumor persists that they were res
cued and served at luau (native
feast).

FEED CROPS TO LIVE STOCK
investigations Show Profit From
Feeding Steers on Surplus Corn
and Rouohage.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
That the southern farmer who raises
q surplus of corn and farm roughage
can market them ut handsome price
through steers of good quality, when
properly purchased, and can retain
tertilizing elements of the feeds on
his farm, Is clearly shown in recent
Investigations by the United States
department of agriculture.
Three lots of native steers. grade
animals two to three years old, of
medium good quality. and averaging
about S25 pounds at the beginning OF
five months on full feed. The ami
mails in lot l received daily allow
ence of 39.1 pounds of corn silage, 81
pounds of cottonseed peal, 40 pounds
Of oat straw; those of lot 2, 37.4
pounds of corn silage, 70 pounds OF
ear corn. 3 pounds Of cottonseed meal,
and % pounds of oat straw; and the
steers of lot 3. $50 pounds of corn
silage, pounds shelled corn, 3 pounds
cottonseed meal. and 35 pounds of
Oat straw.
At marketing time these groups of
animals averaged, respectively, LOLA.
1859, and 1.O66 pounds an animal, the
beeves of lot having accomplished a
daily gain Of 1.56 pounds, those of lot
>, Leg pounds, and the animals Of
group 3, II pounds during the feed
ing period.
When the pork made is credited to
the steers of LOTS . and 3, they paid
for corn at 20 cents bushel, and
then made over $14 head profit, or
almost as much income as resulted
from the cOttOnseed meal-fed steers.
Without hogs following the steers the
feeding of corn would have been con-
siderably less profitable than feeding
cOttonseed meal alone. 1t cost 1888
to make 100 pounds of gain in the
case of lot l, $1O.S2 for lot 2, and $10.75
for lot 3, where no pork credit is given
the steers. Each steer In lots l, 2 and
made a net profit Of $15.19, $11.S7,
and $11.4S, respectively, when no
credit is given the steers Of lots 2
and 3 for the pork produced. This
pork credit probably amounted to
about So a steer.

ALWAYS IN DEADLY PERIL
Divers, in Their salvaoins Operations.
Forced to Cope With Many
Kinds Of Dangers.

Owing to the extension Of salvage
operations, divers have been in great
demand during the war. 1t is risky
work, for the diver has to cope with
pressure and its effects, with dan
gers to his air-pipe, which, though
very stout and strong, can be sawn
through without his perceiving what
1t is rubbing against, say, a jagged
plate or other rough surface. r.
There is also the danger of COM
ing up too quickly in case of emer-
gency. On any accident to the air
pipe the diver has to get to the sur
face inside two minutes. This means
that the change of pressure is very
rapid and the effect on the blood
very dangerous. In the ordinary way
the diver comes up in stages, paus-
ing at intervals to accustom himself
to the new conditions.
There have been attempts to turn
him into sort of submarine by the
use of rigid suits. The drawback
is that he is thus unable to work,
and so far the problem of combin-
ing movement with something which
viii resist pressure does not appear
to have been solved.
