Perch Eggs.

Perch in the middle states and New

coming into bloom, says Boys Life

but decidedly to the advantage of
scouts who like to find them as Il
curiosity, and of birds. fishes and all
kinds of aquatic animals that like to
eat them. The eggs are exposed to SO
many dangers that the perch deposits
them in enormous quantity, the num-
Der sometimes reaching into tens of
thousands for each fish. The struggle
for life is here intense, but it is not
nearly equal To that made by the
Goldfish whose eggs are laid In deep
water and run In numbers from 3,ON,-
600 to 000O,00O.

Humor In a Dictionary.

Johnson's dictionary, says the latest
writer on the life of Mr.. Boswell's
''illustrlous friend" often expressed
his personal prejudices and point Of
view. He enjoyed having a dig" ut
Scotland and SO when he defined
"oats" he wrote, % grain which in
England is generally given to horses,
but in Scotland supports the people"
In defining photographer" he looked
humorously Mt himself, and set down
"a maker Of dictionaries, a harmless
drudge" and Grub street he described
rs "the name of street in London,
much inhabited by writer's of small
histories, dictionaries and temporary
POEMS" And his definition of met
work" as anything reticulated or de-
cussated at equal distances, with In
terstlces between the intersections,
became famous as definition needing
more definitions to define it-Chrls-

The Things That Count.

The fellow who knows no self
restraint can never forge ahead. It's
not the doing Of everything, but the
doing Of a few things well that makes
life count. That means you must say
"Nn" to many things that are offered
YOU. There's no lasting gain in news
paper notoriety. The life that is to
stand the shocks of public testing must
be bnllasted from within with facts
and opinions. That demands absti-
nerce from many If the fitting pleas
ures. 1t demands attention to building
the character, that It may meet OBJ
Staclcs with Self-aSsurnnce. There
must be Sclf-restraint in the interest Of
the larger life. As YOU obey the laws
of development YOU feel the pulsing Of
additional strength through your veins
and the consciousness of power in your
mind.-Grit.

Had Quality Of Greatness.

Men prepared for life have no
trouble with little Inconvenience.
They may do the work of servants but
they loom bigger in our eyes for doing
it. General Grant permitted II woman
to ride in his private car rather than
cause her embarrassment by inform
ing her Of the mistake. President
Arthur once got out of bed to let a
friend into the hotel rather than dis
turb his cOlored boy who had fallen
asleep. Webster one day carried n
Washington politician, who had come
to see him, across a creek. The gentle
man from the capital had taken him
for farmer, much to his later chagrin
and humiliation. Lincoln could talk to
Il colored man without making him feel
that he was black. Jefferson could tip
his hat to slave who had bowed TO
him on the drive. They were great
because they were prepared for life.

Gold soaks Through Rock.

Not many years ago everyone be-
ljeved In the "lnarine" theory of gold.
In other words. gold was originally
deposited in reefs by the action Of sea
water, and the fine, placer gold, which
is the cause of all big gold rushes,"
Is simply gold reef washed into dust
by weather and by water. The new
err idea is that mineralizing solutions
carrying up gold from the depths
have risen along the planes Of least
resistance, and that the gold has thus
teen deposited In the reefs and rocks
where 1t is found. That gold does
soak through rock is proved beyond
doubt. In certain old mines In Aus
train which were abandoned many
years ago and have since been re-
opened, not only have the rock de-
posits been found to be richer than
they were thirty or forty years ago,
but also the old beams and timbers
have been found to be impregnated
with gold.

Great Author m Rewarded.

While Cervantes has been sometimes
called the Shakespeare of SPAIN"
there is nothing in his work which
would actually entitle him to be so con-
sidered. His plays, which were said to
have been written in captivity, are
lost, and while belong to him a long
line of dramas, most of them have
persisted, even to their titles. The two
surviving plays, eel Trato de Angel"
and LA Numancia," show the best
and worst of Cervantes as dramatist.
Though received with enthusiasm,
don QuiXOte" brought no pecuniary
reward to its author. and 1t has only
been recent date that statue of the
great author was erected in Spain.

MONEY COMING TO THEM.

Most all soldiers and sailors who
have been discharged from the army
and navy since Nov. IL, 1918, have
some extra money coming to them

to the matter already.
"a new act Fof Congress allows DC
a mile to all from the point they We're
discharged from to the place of en-
listment or to their actual home, II
they prefer. For instance, if you
enlisted in Denver and were dis
charged at Camp Funston you were
probably paid 8 1-2c a mile from
from Funston to Denver and &c per
are entitled to 1 1-2c per mile more
from unston to Denver and Sc per
mile from Denver to your home town
if that was the basis on which you
were paid. You should check up your
payment and see if you have some
thing more coming. If so, write to
congressman Iuy " A"i"S'
office building, Washington, D. e..
and he will be glad o help you get
your money for you. Soldiers must
make out an affidavit, form for which
you can get at this office, or by
writing Mr.. Hardy. This must be
accompanied by your discharge pa
pers. Sailors need not make out an
affidavit, but should write letter
stating what is claimed and send in
the discharge papers. Better send
by registered mail.
Congressman Hardy tells us that
he has gotten nice little checks for
number of boys who might have over
looked the matter but for the inter-

get your $50 bonus for you if you
haven't gotten it yet.

PORTER TELLS OF AIRPLANE
MANEUVERs ON THE COAST
lear Editor and Readers:

Dear Editor and Readers:
Been trying for week to get
time to write you about the airplane
stunts pulled off week ago last
Sunday at the De Mile field, near
Hollywood, but have been so busy
with mail.
The program started after dinner
and lasted till dark and an admission
fee Of SO cents was made. The day
was known as "Air Memorial Day."
and the program was had without any
one of the contestants getting hurt,
which of course is out of the ordi-
nary. l counted at one time about
45 aeroplanes Of many designs and
models, some for fast flying some for
height climbing, and others for spe-
cial uses, including few battle
planes, but most all were equipped
with up-to-date wireless.
In the middle of the performance
II planes in birdlike formation float
ed over the field around which were
gathered several Thousand spectators,
and were in the air the major portion
Of the afternoon, finally returning
to their coast base.
Five planes suddenly started on

(which position they maintained ur-
til lighting AGAIN., and after circling
three or four times for height. all
did the ''loop-the-loop" three times
in succession. Another plane was
seen to fall approximately 1000 feet
nose down, and finally straighten out
and float gracefully away.
Two planes made race for height,
yer circling higher and higher. now
behind the clouds, now out again and
finally floated to earth about sunset.
It seemed the aviators were per-
fectly at home in their planes ns

In the evening. at the Albany. a
full banquet hall greeted the visiting
guests and the enthusiasm manifested
was wonderful and exceeded any
demonstration of the kind held in re-
cent years.
Mr.. Jameson, the treasurer. told
some Of the inside secrets of how the

REPUBLICANS PRAISE
CONDUCT OF THE WAR

Warrington, D. C.-Republican
members Of the Military Affairs Com
mittee Of the House Of Representa-
tives have returned from the battle
fields Of France and Belgium with
high praise for the work Of the Amer
icaA armies, and for the War De-
partment's success in mobilizing,
transporting and maintaining the
Expeditionary forces.
Representative Daniel R. An
thony. Jr., of Kansas, who is ranking
Republican on the Military Affairs
Committee, declared in an interview
with the correspondent Of a New
York Newspaper, that he and other
Republicans Of the committee stud
led the American strategy and operai
lions from the beginning.
"The strategy and plan of opera
tions," he said, "worked out exactly
as designed, and American arms con-
tributed absolutely to end the war.
We looked into the situation pretty
thoroly and found things are in pref
ty good shape. There is noquestion
that they have the organization in
fine working order"
ut is hard to criticise," Mr.. An
thony declared, when you consider
that they were working for an army
Of 100000 men this year-and
that is what they intended to have
and would have had if the fighting
had continued.

"There is not the shadow Of a

to do to win this campaign is to tell
the truth about the achievements of
