'AD0RN' FACE WITH MUSTACHE
Hairy Anus Would Seem to Have
Peculiar Ideas as TO What Adds
10 Feminine Beauty.

The Anus, the "Celtlc" race OF
Japan live in the island Of Yeddo, al
though the race has become SO re-
duced that Il is estimated, there are
now not more than 10000 or 1900 Of
them left In the country.
The most noticeable popularity
about Ainu women is that they have
tattooed upon their upper and lower
lips what resembles n mustache. The
women are not considered attractive
and their matrimonial prospects are
quite injured, without this decoration.
The mustache is begun when the
girl Is quite a child, until It extends

The Alnu women are said TO be

well developed with small hands and

Leather From Various Skins.

In the hunt for new sources of leath-
err strange things are turning up. II
has been ascertalned that the skins OF
frogs and toads can be tanned and
turned to account for card cases and
other fancy articles. The government
fisheries bureau says the skin Of the
Goldfish furnishes an excellent leather,
tough as parchment and very durable.
The same Is true of salmon skin. Eel
skins are employed In Europe for bind
ing books, and in Egypt shoe soles are
made from the skins OF certain fishes
caught In the Red sea. Sturgeon skin
affords handsome ornamental leath-
err, and tho hide of the armored garfish
is much valued in Europe, being COW
cred with horny plates that can be pol
ished TO an ivorylike finish.

GOOD INVESTMENT IN SMILE
inexpensive, and Nothing One Can
Own viii Bring Greater Return
Should BE a Promlss.

A pleasant smile is the most mex
pensive investment on earth and IL Is
the greatest one 20 bring return.
How wish everyone could realize
just what AZ means TO smile. l think
we all would smile oftener II we did.
SO many people have told me how hard
II IS for them to smile. Here Is my re-
cipe--here II Is, very simple: When
you are about TO smile, think first that
lin your smile you are TO promise
something. That Is really what a
smile Is for. II is a promise, and you
may make II any kind OF promise
you like. Some people hardly move
their lips at all In n smile, while 9th
ers smile entirely with their lips and
leave their eyes expresslonless.
The best smile OF all Is the one
that promises most. At your mirror
you may practice smiling with great
success. Just conjure up the person
you want 10 smile at and 1T the smile
10 the vision. IL will surprise you
10 know how many different kinds OF
promises one happy smile may sug-
gest. II is so like a happy party TO
have person around who smiles on

cultural agent for Iron county, that
the u. S. Department. OF Agriculture
will sell at cost a supply OF nitrate
OF soda to farmers in Iron county.
The nitrate will be sold under the

through County Agent Long or thru
any member of the local committee
consisting OF j. T. Gibson, Jens Peter
sen, and Ellsworth s. Coe, before
January %, 1919.
No money will be required with the
application, but upon notice from the

or individual, designated by the Sec
rotary of Agriculture to act as the

cally every case the money will be
paid TO county nitrate distributor
designated by the department of ag-

distributors on sight draft with bill
Of lading attached. Distributors will
pay drafts, take up the bills OF lad
ing, collect money from farmers and
distribute nitrate to farmers. Ar
rangements have been made to secure
a large quantity OF nitrate and II is
believed that all reasonable require
ments can be met.
Sodium nitrate is a good fertilizer
for grain crops and potatoes. In
most cases II produces extra quality
and yield that much more than pays
for the nitrate.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

tVhlt LII nal NVlEDs
Considerable interest is being man
Tested by the farmers of this region
in barley. This is a crop that will do
very well under our conditions here.
1t will produce a good crop under
more widely varying conditions than
any other grain. Ii contains more
protein than corn and more energy
value than oats. Its composition IL
very similar to that of wheat. Be
cause of the tough husk 1t must be
ground before being fed to stock.
The best variety for this section Is
Oderbrucker, the six-rowed barley
The best soil for it is a fertile, rath-
er light loan. Manuring is found to
be very profitable as is the case with
all crops. In one experiment the av-
erage yield for sixteen years was
twenty-one bushels more per acre on
the MANFRED plot than on a similar
one with no top dressing. II is best
10 fall plow the land, following
cultivated crop il possible.
Up here we should plant as early
In the spring about the same time
as wheat. The seed should be treat
ed with formaldehyde for smut. Two
bushels or ten pecks OF seed per acre
is fairly good seeding. We may ex
pect an acre yield OF 30 to 50 bushels.
The average for Iron county was
29.79 bushels in 1918.
Barley will be found an economical
feed for hogs. In this region where
we cannot grow corn for fattening
livestock, barley will be found good
substitute. 1t is also good for feeding
to dairy stock in mixtures with 9TH
er grains.
According to present prospects.
much more barley will be grown in
Iron county next year than was
grown.
In q letter from the department OF
agriculture, notice is given that after
March |, 1919, the charges for graz
ing on the national forests In the
West Will be increased This Is go
ing TO make il more difficult for the
stock men OF the West to obtain the
cheap pasturage which they need to
lead In the livestock market. 1t is
felt that this increase in charges will
have as one OF its effects the more
rapid development OF the grazing
lands In Cloyerland Stockmen find
much better grazing here than IN the
West, and the offers of the land
companies who are ready TO provide
land for the grazers are looking more
inviting since the western men find
that they will have to pay more than
formerly for their pasture.
This Increase was planned to be-
gin In 1917 but the war delayed the
action, IL being the desire OF the de-
partment OF agriculture to stimulate
the production OF livestock in every
way possible.
Over twenty farmers account books
have been distributed in Iron coun-
ty during the past week. The farm

BuRLEsoN THE MIRACULOUS

Far be it. from us to dispute Mr.. Burleson's statement that
his administration of the Post Office Department has been
miraculous" We admit it. The whole-country admits IT..
The facts of record are so numerous, SO overwhelming IN vol
ume that the matter is beyond controversy. Instance after
instance. covering every State in the Union may. be cited to
support the contention that nothing short Of miraculous inter-
vention could account for them.
Letters from New York to Connecticut have got through t..
their destination within the same tme-interval as have letters
from" China to the same address. Letters have reached this adj
dresses within less than two years after the persons, who wrote
them were dead and buried. City delivery letters have been
known to reach their destinations, as much as six blocks away,
within not over a week after they were mailed. BY the COM
bined use of the telegraph and telephone when those utilities
were under the miraculous Burleson standards of efficiency, a
message in a case of life-and-death emergency got through
from Philadelphia to New York: inside Of two days. The pa
tient in the case died, to be sure, but the miracle of Burles-
on's electric wire efficiency is there just the same.
Mislaying his own. postmasters is on Of the most miracul-
Gus of Burleson's miracles. But he has also mislaid whole CEN
tres of population. He has wiped large cities off the post
office map. Sioux Falls, the largest city in South Dakota, was
thus 'exterminated. Letters addressed there were returned to
their writers bearing the stamped Burlesonian assurance that
there was no such place in the State. The same thing happened
to a Wisconsin post.ofdce town of forty years standing, One
wave of the miraculous Burleson wand, and it vanished into
thin air. Il. Il. 4a.
But why pile up proofs of the obvious? Mr.. Burlesons stan
dards of post Office efficiency are miraculous. Anybody trying
to maintain the contrary would not have q leg to stand on: To
attempt to contend that, by ANYTHING short, Of miraculous inter;
vention such exploits of varied and. intricate Incompetence and
stupidity could have been accomplished, is reposterous.-Har
veys Weekly.
