GOATS MILK FINDING FAVOR
Prejudice Against This Cheap and
Nutritious Food Seems in Fair
Way to Disappear.

Goats, Il must be admitted. have
never been taken seriously by public
opinion In the United States. and the
news that the owner of the largest
herd In the American Northwest is
preparing TO establish an extensive
dairy for the sale of goats milk will
probably seem TO many rather humor-
Gus. AS a matter of fact. however. It
appears that a promising beginning Is
already made. and that the city OF
Seattle, conveniently near the great
herd of goats on Cypress island. In
the Puget Sound archipelago. already
consumes about thousand quarts of
goats milk a day. Publicity will per-
haps be necessary to overcome the
American habit OF regarding the goat
humorously. and 1t may take 1me and
patience TO prove widely the state
ment OF the owner of the herd that
goats milk is quite as good. II not
actually better. than cows milk. Five
cents a day. says he. viii pay the cost
of keeping a goat whose average milk
production is two or three quarts
and two quarts OF milk for cents
would make a considerable difference
In the food expense OF a family. The
goat dairy may be more important
than II seems; and ten years from now
such diaries may be commonplace.

KEEPS FLY PAPER IN PLACE
Device That Will Be Appreciated by

sists of a frame having grooves at each
end to permit the insertion of the sheet
Of fly-paper. A narrow strip of wood is
forced down into the groove over the
paper to hold 1t taut. At the lower
end of the frame three grooves are To-
Gated for taking care of any variations
in the lengths of the fiy-paper.
When the fiy-paper is In its frame, 1t
may be placed up In any convenient
place, and will be so conspicuous as to
be readily seen before being sat upon.
In addition to being useful as a holder
for fiy-paper. the device can be used as

PROOF THAT STONE GROWS
Rock on California Farm Has In
creased in Weight Within the
Memory of Settlers.

On the farm of Mr.. James Cham
pion, known as the old home place Of
his father, John Champion, boys used
to meet years ago with the elder
Champion. and often tossed a round
stone, ball fashion, one to another.
The same stone now lies II the yard,
at the old place, and men now In their
eighties often speak of this rock and
identify 1t as the stone they used to
toss about to each other.
Today it will weigh about 300 pound
and lies near the spot where 1t has
lain for nearly a century. Some of the
most substantial old men of Mercer
county who are now living, will vouch
that this rock has grown from small
stone TO its present size since their
babyhood days.-Wilmore (Calif.) En-

Here's an up to- date
story, if there ever was one.
In the opening chapter the
hero is an unkempt tramp;
at the end he's a candidate
for the mayoraIty of Chi
cago, a capitalist and the
lover of a fashionable girl
on the Lake Shore drive. So
there is room for lots of ex-
citing experiences in be-
tween.
The Lake Shore drive girl
gives him a dollar to buy
soap and cures him Of being
a hobo. A beautiful Russian
woman starts him in anar-
chy. A poker game starts
him as a successful grain
specuIatOr and introduces
him to society. Failure to
win the Lake Shore girl
leads him into politics as a
distraction.
