Island Pond Girl
Found I'm Burlington

BURLINGTON, W.T.. Sept. 20
"Helen Pickford," the 16 year old
girl who was discovered in an appar-
ent drugged sleep in a hammock on
a st. Paul street porch Wednesday
night, was positively identified today
as May Powers of Island Pond. Her
father, Patrick Powers, came to Bur
lington today to take her home.
The local police say they have
learned that the girl ran away from
home Sunday night. She stayed at
the hotel in Groveton, N. H., then
came to Burlington.
The story about her being drugged
by two men who met her at the sta
ton here is not believed. The train
arrived at $50 and the girl was seen
in another part of the city at 10 in
curing for the address of friend.
She denies that she ever took
durgs, but admitted having fainting
spells. She had SIS with her, and
she says she earned this cleaning a
schoolhouse at Island Pond.

Rubies and Sapphires Are
the "IeWeIs' in Watches
Higher Value Than Diamond

There are in every good watch from
Z to q "jewels." Some of them are
rubies, others sapphires-two kinds
of gem stones rated much higher in
market value than the diamond. These
sapphires and rubies, furthermore,
must, to serve the matchmaking pur-
pose, be fiawless.
The watchmakers get them cheap,
because the gem stones used for this
purpose are of inferior color and bril-
liancy-useless even if they were big
ger, for jewelry.
A watch is said to run" on so
many stones. The more valuable the
timepiece the greater the number of
stones used in its makeup. The tiny
gems, pierced to receive the axles OF
wheels, offer a minimum of friction,
and do not wear out easily.
Enormous quantities of these watch
jewels are cut in Switzerland. To
each stone is given a rounded form
with a hole through the center.

Great Scientist, Scholar,
Thinker, Usually Not an
All Around Good Fellow

There is always danger when any
one concentrates that the concentra--
ton will be carried too far-so far
that it produces a narrow, one-sided-
and warped point of view, observes
a writer. The great scientist, the
great scholar and great thinker in any
line, is usually not an all around
"good fellow" Grabbed" queer"
peculiar" "odd," funny" and
''warped"-are these not the adjec-
tives that generally describe the ge--
muses. of the world?
The very effort to concentrate on
the one subject which has brought
success has made it impossible to
keep in touch with the thousand and
one currents of thoughts and topics
of conversation which go to make up
comfortable and easy-going life.
Like the old sea captain, these ge-.
muses. miss something in their effort
to fix their attention on one thing.
In spite Of this danger, it is a good
thing to work for concentration. The
likelihood of becoming one-sided is big
where genius is concerned, but then
it can be excused. Most of us can
safely concentrate our attention and
still feel sure that we will keep in
touch with the world about us.

HINTS FOR POULTRY

Tenants and other persons desiring
a temporary shelter for poultry would
do well to consider a straw shed
house, according to T. S. Townsley of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture. Such a house is very
simple to make and will serve as ex-
cellent quarters for poultry during at
least one winter. If supporting
frame is built before thrashing time it
is no extra trouble to blow the straw
from the thrashing machine over and
around this frame to form a shed
completely closed in with straw on all
sides excepting the south. A support
ing frame can be easily made by set
ting a post for each corner of the pro-
posed shed and placing across the top
of these posts heavy poles to form the
supports for the framework of rails,
boards or light poles, which will hold
up the straw After the straw has
been thrown over this frame front
such as is used on any modern poul-
try house can be built on the south
side. This front should include some
open space and some windows to pro
vide ventilation and furnish light. The
inside of the house may be equipped
with dropping boards, ro0sts and
nests, just the same as any other poul-
try house. A straw shed house of this
type 20 feet square on farm near st.
Peters, Mo-, furnished shelter for 125
hens. These birds came through with
out a frozen comb and laid all winter.
If such. a house becomes infested
with mites during warm weather the
birds can be allowed to roost outside
during the summer months and a new
house cali be built each thrashing
lincs

Farmer Of Today
His Opinion Is Sought and
Respected

Urban sophistication in the. cities
poked fun, before the war, at the
farmer. He was supposed to be I'M
couth and gullible-a child OF nature.
He chewed a straw and pulled ms
beard and creased his boots and rose
by Iamplight. and was a man with a
hoe among the herds and orchards,
man to whom the great round world
was blank page or a distant myth.
Now that is changed, says writer
in the Philadelphia Ledger. The far
mer is an applied scientist, whose opin-
ion is sought and respected, with
whose hand, as it is busy or idle, is
the feeding or starving of the nations.
For millions during the war life has
been a grim, unmitigated quest OF
food. The farm has had to yield by
intensive cultivation many times its
former produce, and marketing in hap
hazard ways has had to yield to me-
thodic and speedy transportation.
Farm work and farm life today utilize
every last development of engineering.
The machinery has revolutionized
farm labor, and electricity and gaso-
line are the greatest of all hired
hands. The motorcar, the tractor, the
dairy machinery, the telephone are
commonplace where once they were
unknown.
The demobilized fighter no longer
regards indifferently or scornfully the
chance the farm holds out to him.
The fields are clamoring for him
fields where the battle is for life and
not for destruction.

Courageous Men. Who Have
Carried Civilization Into the
Dark Corners of the Earth

"The world today would be a very
small place were it not for men who
have carried the torch of civilization
into far places" says William Heyliger
in an article entitled Daniel Boone"
which appears in Boys Life. IAN I'M
quenchable fire, burning in their
breasts, has urged them forth to break
paths for their generation. They have
penetrated the dark corners of the
earth; they have, in many cases, paids
forfeit with their lives. Columbus, Ma
gellan, LivingStone-all were of this
lions breed. So, too, was Daniel Boone.
''There was never a day, for almost
fifteen years, when Boone's life was not
in danger. No other man ever fought
civilizations fight against such bitter
odds. He led the first white settlers
into Kentucky. His eldest son was
killed on the march. Other men gave
up and returned to civilization, but
Boone pressed on. He founded Boones-
boro, and for years never knew what
moment the warwhoop of the savage
would bring him from his sleep. His
daughter was Kidnapped by the Indi-
ans; another son was slain from am
bush. But Boone. with that flame of
creation burning in his breast, never
once turned aside Almost single-hand-
ed he wrested the great state of Ken
lucky from the Indians. Almost sim
gle-handed he planted the banner OF
human advancement 400 miles beVOn0
the then farthest frontier"
