is just what happened recently at
Iron Point, New, according to the pres
ident Of the Eureka-Nevada railway.
1t seems the woodpecker to ok a fancy
to the relay apparatus of a signal box
and pecked at the wires until they
short-circuited. Immediately the sig
nal swung up, denoting danger. South
ern Pacific Overland No. 5 came along
and halted. After a wait of an hour
the engine driver investigated and
found the woodpecker busy at lunch
on the wires. A crowbar had to be
used to remove the pest from the box

Members Of boys and girls pig
clubs are the pioneers in introducing
purebred pigs and improved methods
of management in many parts of the
South, where the swine industry is
making unprecedented progress.
This is true in a marked degree In
Georgia. Among the pig clubs, the
total sum represented by the hogs and
pigs in the hands of the pig club men,
bers of the state last year was almost
a half million dollars. The increase in
the number of purebred pigs raised
by the club members in 1918 over 1917
was more than 306 per cent. The IT.
crease in profits on hogs raised In 1913
over the previous year was more than
81 per cent.
Pig clubs were carried on in connec-
ton with school work in many locali-
ties. Fourteen school pigs in one
county, raised on the waste from pu-

the thousands of men surnamed Hall.
Among them all there was not one who
came from Mccall, South Carolina, nor
yet one who had a wife or mother
whose name even remotely resembled
the "Stalks" given as the name of the
two benefciaries.
Calls for Nimble Wit.
This, clearly, was case for the use
of that specially nimble wit and fine
deductive faculty which has character
lied much of the work of the search
ers of the index files, and given them
a process OF procedure which might
be used to add leaf to the book of
the Burnses, the Pinkertons and the
Flynns.
"Weli," remarked the girl charged
with producing the needed informa-
ton, "this man may be Stalk since
that is the name given for his wife
and mother"
But search through the Stalks"
brought nothing to identify the case.
"Still," she persisted, and they al
ways do persist, these girls. Ills
name must be some kind of Stalk
but what kind? Corn stalks, bean
stalks, and cabbage stalks are the
only kind Of stalks I know anything
about so I'll just look them up
And sure enough, it turned out that
his name was "some kind of Stalk"
Cabbage stalks, in fact, and his index
card was duly changed to read:

Mrs. Ella Cabbagestalks (wife), Mrs.
Fannie Cabbagestalks (mother)."
you see that girl wearing the blue
sweater over there" said one young
woman.
The girl of the blue sweater appear
ed so young she might have just left
school. She was searching some in
dex cards, her fingers rapidly running
from one to another With each flap
Of the card she had taken a mental
note of the inscription thereon, but to
the observer she was making a speed
record in touching every card in the
file drawer.
Suddenly-Bang! The drawer was
closed. She moved a foot to the right,
began another Marathon in card move
ments, selected one, made notation
on slip of paper she carried, pla,ed
the card among the others, closed the
drawer, and walked toward the man
who is in charge of the file section.
This pantomine was quickly enacted,
and as it turned out, it brought to
a close remarkable case which had
been under investigation for some
days.

If he could help.
"You might pull us down the
road a piece to start my auto"
said the tired-looking owner.
Collier backed up, pulled out
a piece of rope, and pulled the
auto about so yards, and then
asked what the trouble was.
"Oh, nothing at ALL" said his
neighbor. ~ just didn't want
to take the trouble to crank it."

 Whereas, The department of the inter for and the reclamation service have been engaged in formulating and presenting to the country broad constructive plans for the reclamation of aridl swamp and cutover timber lands and for further de- velopment of mineral lands;
