Tom SAWYER Grown Up,

Somewhat reminiscent of the meth
DDS Of one Tom Sawyer, who did not
enjoy wlitewashing the picket fence,
was the means adopted by an in
genious official at the school field meet
on Belle Isle Friday. This individual
had charge of the large man-power
clock, mounted atop high platform,
which required his attendance at five
minute intervals to advance, the
hands. He noted that several pho
tographers were looking longingly at
the stepladder he used in mounting to
the clock, and whenever one Of them
approached to borrow the ladder he
would anticipate the request with a
statement that they could take it for
five minutes if they would first 60 up
and move the clock hands for him, a
ceremony which he directed from a
shady position on the grouad.-Dctroit
Free Press.

STILL USE ST. BERNARDS
Tunnels, However, Have Greatly De-
creased His Importance in
the Ali s.

Although the tunnels which now con-
meet Switzerland, with Italy have
greatly decreased the Importance OF
the st. Bernard and other passes, espe-
cially during the eight months Of snow
it is still deemed advisable to employ
st. Bernard dogs. 1t is no longer Gus
tomary, however, to send out the dogs
alone with baskets of food and drink {;
a man always accompanies them.
These dogs are not really Of the ia
nous old St. Bernard breed. That
originated in the fourteenth century,
through a cross between shepherd
dog from Wales and u Scandinavian
dog whose parents were Great Dane
and Pyrenean mastiff. The last pure
descendant of this tribe was buried
under an avalanche in 1916. FCrtu-
nately, there were found subsequently
Mt Martigny and on the Simplon pass
a few dogs which, by crossing with
mates from Wales, yielded the modern
st. Bernard dog, which is physically
even stronger than his medieval
namesake, and shares most of his
traits.

'L-4t1ur RETURNS FROM MINT
United States Supplies Bulk Of Pep
permint Oil for the
IT, World. ,E

The bulk of the peppermint oil of
The world is produced on the muck
ands Of southwestern Michigan and a,
Jew counties of northern Indiana. The
total yearly product is estimated at
100000 pounds. There are two vari-
cites Of peppermint. the American and
The English or Mitchem. The latter
aas almost superseded the American,
oeing better adapted to our soil and
climate, and favored by the trade. It
s also harder and yields larger crops.
The ideal mint farm Is one having
Doth high land and muck soil, which is
distinct advantage on account OF the
cotution and humus in the soil, de-
:ayed vegetation being essential to the
peppermint crop. Fly the use, Of prop
or amounts and kinds Of commercial
fertilizer, l;rge crops Of mint can be
grown for many years In succession
on the same ground. The mint plant,
after the oil is removed, makes very
desirable feed for live stock, returning
about the same amount Of food value
as an acre of ordinary meadow land,
besides the oil. Thus two profits are
harvested from one acre Of peppermint.
An acre Of peppermint will yield
from 20 to 60 pounds Of oil, while a
second cutting will yield from six to
20 pounds extra. The farmer needs
no extra equipment to grow this crop
than found on the ordinary farm eX-
cept small still to refine the oil. In
Michigan and Indiana from 20 to 100
farmers cooperate in the operation OF
stills, handling from so to 100 acres OF
peppermint in the one mill. 1t is now
large industry.
