AMERICANS WILL BE THERE
Opportunities Offered In Abyssinia Are
i by No Means Likely to Be Long
Overlooked.

After his visit to the United States
one of the Abyssinian visitors admit.
ted that he knew now why there were
no Americans in Abyssinia. As he had
seen him at home, the American, so
the stranger from Abyssinia decided,
Is not given to slow and tedious travel
Ing. He wants to get about quickly,
and Abyssinia, with nothing faster
than a pack mule, offers no induce
ments of rapid transportation. THAT.
1t seems" said the Abyssinian, has
kept the American man out OF our
country. 1t is too bad. We need
bridges like yours, we need streets like
yours, and we need men like yours to
direct the building Of them" CONNER
cially and industrially, however, the
truth probably is that Abyssinia has
not been discovered" and when that
Happens the American man will come
and build his own rapid transpOrta-
ton. The mere statement that the
capital, Adds Abbeba, is city of
some 10000 inhabitants and no rail-
way connection with the outside world
Is a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Science
Monitor.

Farmers Must Take
Care in Buying Seed

That Idaho farmers must exercise
precaution when buying clover seed
this spring is clearly shown from
tests being carried on in the state
seed laboratory, says a statement
from the office of the state seed
commissioner.
Some so per cent of the samples
already analysed have been con-
demned because of the presence of
noxious weed Seeds" says this state
ment. ''Dodder has been the worst
offender and farmers should protect
themselves against this weed.
Glover seed is scarce and is also
high priced, so it is important that
farmers pay particular attention to
the quality of seed they buy. Farm
ers should buy on grade from re-
liable firms and then have their seed
analysed by the state seed analyst.
A test costs nothing and 1t allows
the farmer to have an absolute check
on the kind of seed he is getting.

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 town would see a
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 be hit with a 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 1t was found that
shooting birds from airplanes is un.
lawful.

The Wrong Man.

When I was an eighteen-year-old
girl l was keeping house in my moth
er's absence and received word from
an old friend of the family, Of whom
was very fond, that he was to be our
guest for a day or two. Toward eve
ming when the doorbell rang told
our little colored maid to answer it
and show Mr.. Blank into the living
room.
rushed into the room which was
half dark, some minutes later and
threw my arms around the gentleman
who rose to greet me and kissed him
soundly only to hear strange voice
say, II called to see If could interest
you in wonderful set of books am
showing today"
l backed to the light and turned 1t
on to view a perfect stranger-a book
agent. But Mr.. Blanks timely arrival
Just then saved little of my embar-

Long-Lived Superstition.

We wonder whether the Turkish
prisoner who foretold the end of the
war by means Of the shoulder blade of
a sheep had ever read "Giraldus Cam
brensis' Itinerary Through Wales,
made in the year 1888.
II so, he would have read in Chap
ter XII that these people (the Elem
ings Of Pembrokeshire), from the in
spection Of the right shoulders Of rams
which have been stripped of their
flesh, and not roasted but boiled, can
discover future events, or those which
have passed and remained long I'M
known"
A footnote tells us that this curl
Gus superstition is still preserved in
a debased form among the descend
ants Of the Flemish population of this
district, where the young women prac-
tice a sort of divination with the blade
bone Of shoulder Of mutton to dis
cover who will be their sweetheart.
1T is still more curious that William
de RubruQuis, In the thirteenth cen
fury, found the same superstition ex-
listing among the Tartars." Now, in
the twentieth century, we find 1t
snong the Turks London Chronicle.

TRIBE Tone Electric Bell.

Three separate and distinct sounds
are given by an electric bell which OPP
crates on ordinary lighting current by
means of transformer. In the home
the bell can be connected with push
buttons installed at three different
doors-front, kitchen and side, for ex-
ample. When one button is pressed
a clear ring results, when the second
is operated buzz is produced, and
when the third button Is pushed a
combination buzz and ring results. In
the office or shop this bell will prove
most useful, since it can be used to
call three different persons without
necessitating them to count the num-
Der of rings, as must often be done
when the customary signaling is en-
ployed. This bell has no contact
points to burn out and no batteries
u replace. M ~

VILLAGE Proud Of War Record.

The little Norfolk village Of Old
Buckingham is proud Of its war rec
ord. Its total male population be-
tween the ages Of eighteen and fifty
in 1914 was 284. OF that number no
fewer than 40 served with the forces
and 80 have given their lives for their
country.
+ In their honor memorial cross has
been erected on the village green, an
exact reproduction Of the "cross of
sacrifice" designed by, Sir Reginald
Bloomfield, r. A., for all British mil
itary cemeteries abroad. The total
height from the ground line to the
top of the cross is "a feet inches.
1t is built of stone and the names of
those men Of the village who fell in
the war are incised in gilt on the drum
below the base Of the cross.
The sacrifice of Old Buckingham is
typical Of every British village.

FIND MANY USES FOR PEAT
Wartorn industry Gives Promise Of
Great Development In the
Years to Come.

The output Of peat In the United
States last year far exceeded that OF
any preceding year and the general
increase, which was stimulated by the
war, was shared by practically all
branches of the industry. Though ex.
tenslvely used as fuel in Europe and
widely known in the United States as
a potential source of heat and power
peat has been unable to compete with
coal and many peat operators have d.
rected their attention to the utilization
of peat in agriculture with gratifying
results.
Peat fertilizer was first marketed in
commercial quantities in 1908. and
stockfood peat in 1912, and though
there is still some prejudice against its
use the agricultural branch of the in
dustry has been successful and the
quantity of fertilizer and stock-fOod
peat annually produced is increasing.
Large quantities Of these products
were made last year, but the most
striking development was the produc-
ton of more peat in the New England
States than has been manufactured in
the entire United States in all proceed
ing years Almost equally striking
was the widespread interest manifest
ed in peat resources which had been
generally regarded as of doubtful
value.
Large quantities of peat or sphag-
mum moss were produced and utilized
for stable litter. packing material, and
surgical dressing, and several hun
dred thousand acres Of peat soils were
used for the growth of crops. The
peat litter was produced by the own
ers of small hogs for their own use.
but the packing material was sold
to florists for $25 ton. According
to ]. w, Hotson of the Red Cross
more than half million peat pads
were prepared in this country for that
organization. Most of the moss was
gathered by volunteers from Dogs in
Washington, Oregon and Maine, and
the pads were used in military hos
pitfalls at home and abroad.

other old masters. Pamela is an
