,taIv,s' Present to Wilson.

A gift, combination Of beauty and
rarity, is to be made to President Will
soE by the Italian government. If re-
ports speak true, the; gift consists OF
an antique and beautiful painting,
which has only just come to light.
The rarity, for newly discovered
painting, even if beautiful, is not ex-
actly an uncommon thing in Italy, con-
sists in the extraordinary fact that this
painting was made on piece Of the
sail of the caravel on which Chris
topher Columbus embarked on the voy-
age which resulted in his discovery OF
America. Nothing more appropriate
could have been presented to President
Wilson; certainly no discovery OF a
buried bit Of antiquity was ever more
apropos.

HOW TO TRAP SUCCESSFULLY
TWO Ways of Taking the Wary Mink
Snare Into Which "Srer Fox"
May Fall.

If a mink makes d hole through a
snowdrift he will use it again and a
trap set in it will catch him.
After cold weather sets in, when
setting in shallow water for mink,
choose place where the current runs
swiftly and is not likely to freeze up.
When trapping foxes use a No. 2
double spring trap. This style of trap
is known as the fox trap"
If you wish to be real foxy and
cunning yourself, try setting three
traps, one in an old path without any
covering, and one on each side. skill
fully covered. The fox will give all
his attention to the uncovered trap
and by going around it may step into
one of those on the side.
1t is not much use to try to trap
foxes or any other such wary animal
without a good scent.
An ear of corn stuck in the mud
near a trap makes an excellent bait
for coon.
One of the best places to look for
coon signs is in cornfield.

long miles, joining the old harbor and

The Rhone's upper stretches are placid

barge navigation. but near MarsellleS
the stream is far too turbulent for

DAYS gone by. Now, with France en-

by, the tunnel is being cut and the
canal will soon be opened. The work

continued through the war. By this
canal and links already available,
barges can be sent from the Mediter-

Heatinu the House.

The proper temperature for various
rooms of the home are as follows: The
living room should be 20 degrees, no
more. 1t should be occasionally aired
so that it does not become close. but
the doors should be kept closed into
the hall. The dining room and kitchen
should be heated to 65 degrees. Most
kitchens rise higher than that. The
bedrooms should be heated not at all,
except for the little time that the occu-
pants use them for dressing. The
bathroom should be made as warm as
you choose and the halls should be
given no special heat, as we are al
ways exercising when we are going
through them.

Marie's American Anthem.

In far away France little Marie,
aged six, visited the Red Cross hos
pital near her home every day, and
became very popular with the conva-
lescent American soldiers there. She
soon became very good friends with
the soldiers and they delighted to
teach her scraps of English. When
they sang she joined them in their
American songs. One day, in Marie's
school, teacher asked her class the
title of Americas national anthem.
The class looked blank, until Marie,
with flash Of inspiration, jumped to
her feet and announced. Hail! Hail !!
