Loves His Melon.

Watermelons have been high In price this season. but "Cncle Joe Cannon has gone right ahead eating them. It is a habit acquired by nm when he was small boy in North Carolina.
 Consequently the. y-three-year- old statesman waits each year for the arrival of the watermelon season, ana just as soon as the ripe ones begln to arrive Uncle Joe may be seen sticking & big chunk of something red into his mouth Sometimes he goes at it "coon fashion" and plays solo with his lips on a long. red slice. throwing away such implements as knives and forks,
 Uncle Joe can tell when a water melon thumps right and knows by the color and general appearance whether the melon is sweet and juicy or was pulled too green.

Wise Child.

A miserly landlord was going rounG collecting his rents the other day. At one house he was greatly interested in a little girl who watched open-mouth- ed and open-eyed the business of pay ing over the money and accepting the receipts
 He patted her on the head and started to search his pockets, saying "I must see what 1 have got for you.
 After searching his pockets for some time he at last brought out from re- mote corner peppermint.
 As he handed it to the girl he said : "And now what will you do with that?"
 The little girl looked at it, then at him. and replied: "WaSh it."

Birds Have Right of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air, warns the director of military aero nautics. This is justice indeed. since birds flew first.
 But this is not all. Recently many towns along the Atlantic coast have been visited with dead bird showers. Aviators flying by n town would see flock of wild fowl coming their way. They would set their machine guns and let the bullets fly.
 Presently a prominent citizen walk ing below would he hit with large. bloody bird. He complained to the town, and the town complained to the department of agriculture. Then the federal migratory bird law between the United States and Great Britain was referred to, and it was found that shooting birds from airplanes is un- lawful.

Enu,ish Women Buy.nu Farms.

Women in England are buying their own farms or their own truck and gar den spaces in rather conspicuous num- berS. And this is all an outcome of the tremendous work done by women on the land during the war. The gen. eral feeling is that there will not be much room for. the common female farm labOrer as time advances, but for the woman who has little money and who looks upon farming as her pro- feSsiOn and her life work there is ex celent opportunity in this direction. In the first place, on account of the compact location of the garden spaces and the cities in England transpOrta- tiOn of fOOdStuffs is easy. Then gar den truck and flowers do grow abun- dantly and prOfusely there, and always find ready markets.
