given by the state, through Its drain
age district legislation to supervisor,
of drainage districts. We emphasin'
ed the advantage OF the majority be-
ing able to drain areas which need
drainage and insisted that all lant
owners contribute 10 the expense Of
such drainage. The advantages Of
drainage district legislation In OBJ
tanning funds for the construction Of
drainage systems were also pointed
out.
Mr., Hare also spoke 20 students
OF the schools Of agricultural engip-
eering and agriculture concerning
the relation OF drainage to conser-
walton. Although emphasizing the
fact that drainage was important
primarily from the point Of view Of
retaining waste lands the speaker
showed that lage part Of the cost
Of drainage was frequently regainsd
by the value OF water brought TO-
gethcr for use in irrigation.

Gently, Herbert Todd, the 10 years old

slipped of ledge into the river, which

gathered on the bridge, beneath which
tho boy was swept and along the river
banks. Fortunately the log and the boy

was carried into the cove, was probably
the one factor which saved the boys life.

Daylight Saving.

A correspondent of the Portland Press
makes the following suggestion:
To the Editor of the Press:
Yea, verify the times are out Of joint.
There may be 8 psychological feature
of the situation which Is interesting, but
the bare facts of the case are decidedly
disturbing.
The cause Of the situation seems to be
that the dwellers in cities desire to begin
the occupations of the day one hour
earlier during the long days OF summer,
and have an extra hour Of daylight for
work or recreation after the days work
Is done; while the agricultural com
munities prefer to start the work Of the
day without interference OF any new
tangled regulation.
As the sun continues to rise at the
usual time, regardless OF man-msde
statutes, and as agriculture depends
largely on the sun for success, the farm
err do not care to have the city people
tell them when to begin or when to end
the labor Of the day.
It does not occur to men that there is
no need to attempt to coerce either
party in this matter, and that each can
enjoy us PIoioionOO "iS"ous inNoiioAi"s
In any way with the other, or disarrang-
ing times or schedules.
All that is necessary is to let the
clocks alone and abide by standard
time"
Let the cities merely agree, II they so
desire, to open all places Of employment
or amusement one hour earlier and close
one hour earlier from May to Oct. l.
This would accomplish the desired
end and would not interfere with the
railroads, with agriculture, or with any
one.
Why not try il?

Animals With Third EyeIId.

Sir John Bland-Sutton, senior sur
geon of Middlesex Hospital Medical
school In London, Is authority for the
statement that all animals, except men
and monkeys, possess third eyelid.
Many people have noticed how birds.
notably the turkey, operates this third
lid by means of special muscles. The
turkey Is constantly winking without
knowing that 1t does so. The third lid
in this case is an Opaque white cur
tain, but In certain birds and animals,
and in some fishes, the third lid Is a
transparent covering. The lizard of
trans-C Caspian deserts uses its trans
parent lid as protection against sand,
while the American fish known as the
star-gazer uses 1t effectively for watch
ing it's prey. 1t Is interesting to note
that the prey is secured through the
operation of powerful electrical mus
cles, and considerably over 80 small
swimming fish so caught have been
found in the interior of star-gazer.

Zone of the merchandising plans

who actually spends the money is not
always the most profitable person to-

good-will-buildIng efforts.

Waltzlna Mouse Going.

And what about waltzing mice?
There was q time when they were
as common as goldfish, the Minneap-
oils Journal states.
Pet lovers would house dizzy fam
lilies Of them. They would whirl
around, in pairs, on any small space,
such as an inverted tumbler, till they
looked like spokes In q black and
white wheel.
But nowadays, II you decided to
make jolly present to your youngest
nephew, you couldn't find a japanese
waltzing mouse in the country.
1t Is true that their dervish dance is
out Of date in this age Of shimmy
shakers. But that doesn't account for
their extinction.
The war, which took so many lives,
reached even to the mouse world.
Breeders no longer raise these eccen-
trio little creatures. according to Ed
Hooey, the bird and fish man. Per-
haps they still live in Japan, where
they are kept through immigration
laws. But as far as this country
goes, these busy pets Of children are
now but a memory.

her. The emigration officials do not
