PIGEON LONGS FOR IT'S NATE
So A. E. F. Veteran Flies Back coo
Miles to Columbia.


When his mate refused to follow
him, a pigeon owned by !. Wolfson
flew back about 600 miles to find her,
Mr.. Wolfson bought the birds from
a pigeon fancier in Kalamazoo. Mich,
last summer and shipped them to Co
lumbia. They are both homing pig
cons. He kept them penned up until
the fall and then released them. The
male promptly left for Kalamazoo.
The dealer in Kalamazoo wrote Mr.
Wolfson that the pigeon was there
and offered him $55 for 1t but Mr..
Wolfson refused and wrote asking
that the pigeon be shipped here. Be-
fore the letter had time to reach there
the pigeon showed up at Mr.. Wolf
sons loft. Its mate had refused to
follow, so it had made the return
journey via the air.
About a month ago, the pigeons
were released from confinement. A
day or two after. they both returned
to Kalamazoo. Mr.. WOlfsOn wrote
and told the fancier to keep them but
to send him two of their young.
Both the pigeons were in service
in France The longest flight made
was one from Rome, Italy, to Dun
kirk, Belgium.

Process WIN Produce Cheaper Leath.
er, Expert Declares,
By United Press
ST. LOUIS, April 2O-"Sea shoes
may soon appear as a solution OF the
high cost of footwear.
A process for tanning skins OF shark
and pOrpOise so they can be used
for making boots and shoes has been
perfected, it was announced here by
leading member of the American
Chemical Society.
While no details of the new process
were gwen out, it was said the new
departure will produce much cheaper
shoes than those now on the market
New processes for preparation of
American sugar are under considera-
ton, and the chemists, in turning
their activities from war to peace, ex-
pect to play dominant part in low
ering prices for this product.
A new section of the association
devoted to the sugar industry, will
hold its first sessions this year. In
creases in cane production in lower
Nebraska and Kansas offer big oppor-
tunity for publication of American
sugar and putting more of it on the
market, chemists declare.
Dye, kelp and acetone industries
will come in for considerable extern
sion, it was asserted. Announcement
will be made at the convention that
are waiting to put $4,000
900 into the American dye industry
when its status is established.

Now from the farther end of the vii

was chorus of young voices accom-

the throbbing of the bouben, a kind of
tambourine. Clearer and clearer came
the music until suddenly around the

with his arms full of blankets and

their cooking utensils and the string

out to the car for another load

Trapping is about over in these

bits, the "distilled wisdom of many vol

taken from his sketches written in
1S65-67:
In about half an hour an old gentle
man, with flowing beard and fine
but rather austere face, entered, and
sat down at my invitation. He seemed
to have something on his mind. He
took off his hat and set it on the floor,
and got out a red silk handkerchief
and copy of our paper.
He put the paper on his lap, and
while he polished his spectacles with
his handkerchief, he said, care you
the editor?"
Il said I was.
''Have you ever edited an agricul-
tural paper before?"
