RANGE STOCK is IMPROVED
All Kinds Of Slres, Bulls Especially,
Are Receiving Close Scrutiny
by Breeders.

In the Western range states all
kinds Of sires-bulls especially-are
receiving scrutiny by live stock own
ers. There is increasing evidence that
good purebred males have wide influ
ence on the quality of young stock
and on the returns from stock-raising
operations.
One day recently the United States
Department Of Agriculture enrolled in
the Better Sires-Better Stock"
movement several ranchmen, each of
whom had more than 1000 head of
live stock. One flock Of sheep con-
tanned $50 purebred ewes and $3.50
crossbred ewes, the sres being all
purebred. A cattle raiser who enlist
ed In the campaign the same day mott
fed the department: 81 have disposed
Of two grade Hereford bulls recently,
having decided to run nothing but
purebred slres" This remark is
typical Of the progress of the move
ment in Montana.

CALLED CURSE OF SCOTLAND
Why the Nine Of Diamonds Got Bad
Reputation in That Country
Is Uncertain.

II appears to have been with the
family of the earl of Stair that the
nine of diamonds got the name Of
1.-THE Curse of Scotland" On their
armorlal coat can be seen the nine
lozenges.
It was also said that the curse Of
Scotland referred to the belief that
every ninth king of Scotland was n
curse to his country. But on looking
up the history Of the earl of Stair It Is
found that he Is the eldest son of
James Dalrymple, Viscount Stair, the
president of the court of sessions in
Scotland and the greatest lawyer the
country has produced.
This first earl, as Sir John Dali
rymple, was one of the persons of I'M
portance chosen to offer the crown Of
Scotland to William and Mary at the
revolution. AS secretary Of state he
was the prime instrument in causing
the massacre of Glencoe, which COW
cred his name with infamy and did
not leave that Of his royal master I'M
furnished.
He was largely instrumental In
bringing about the union of Scotland
with England, though he did not live
to see this effected, dying on January
8, 1907.

How New Cotton Flicker Morks.

A great many elaborate devices have
been invented for the purpose OF as
sisting the cotton picker in the gather.
Ing of the boil from the plant. But
what is probably the simplest of all
has been recently invented, consisting
of piece Of flexible metal that is adj
Unstable to fit the finger. 1t fits se-
curely over the first joint of the finger,
one to each finger. On the inside II
has five small cleats to give tenaclty.
Experienced pickers declare that with
set Of these pickers they increase
their capacity from 20 to so per cent.
The inventor is A. A. Ross Of Okla
homa City, a practical cotton picker
himself. In addition to increasing the
capacity Of the worker, II also pre-
vents prIcking of fingers on cotton
burs, a frequent and trying accom-
panlment of cotton picking under tho
usual procedure.

How 70 Use oId Auto cushions.

Cushions that helped make your car
an easy-ridng one in It's day should
not be junked when the car is given
up rs lost by automobile doctors. Keep
them if necessary, recover them, then
place them in front of au open fire
place.
If you wish to toast marshmallows
or roast popcorn, YOU will have an ex-
cellent seat, BY resting your elbows
on your knees you keep your arms
from growing tired while the roasting
or toastlng goes on.
Any housewife could think of a
dozen uses for old cushions, and for
once the man of the house will agree
that "that old junk" makes n welcome
addition to Preside seat in his smok-
ing room.--Popular Science Monthly.

TICKLE UNCLE SAM

SOME one has said, can old
fool is the worst kind of a
fool and it would appear so
when we seq doddering old man
lose his head over giddy sin
teen year old girl. Well Uncle
Sam is neither old nor doddering,
but he sure is displaying good
deal of fcllleness these days.
When we see him dress in the
morning, We wonder what he II
be up to during the day. He
pursues one fad a few hours, and
then takes up another and an
other, and yet another. As a fad
dist Uncle Sam bears the palm.
He reminds us very much of a
bunch of school children let
loose at four o'cIock-he doesn t
know how to contain himself.
Ferinstance--
We wouldn't recognize Huerta
as president OF Mexico, then we
ordered the flag saluted, which
was refused, then we dold 'em
we'd compel EN- to salute, sent
our ships and men to Vera Cruz
to get the flag salutcd, it cost us
several millions, but the ships
and men withdrew and the flag
wasn't saluted. We then recog-
nized Grandpa Cawanza, Villa
killed some of our men at
Columbus, We went for Villa to
bring him back dead or alive,
but Cousin John j. did like
Napoleon-he went right down,
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1921-04-22

and looked around, and came
right back again-but he didn't
bring Villa back, and Brother
Francisco Villa is now a gentle
man farmer, and dwells in peace
and safety in his native land.
The whole Mexican business has
been "A fasco ON Uncle Sans part.
Then came some OF Uncle :,
congressional inyestigations--thc
Packers Trust, nothing followed
up; the Airplane scandal, soon
hushed up; the shipbuilding ex-
pose, dropped like hot potato;
the Newbcrry trial and convic-
ton, and Ncwbcrry still a U. S.
Senator; the "Eastland" disas-
ter, where hundreds of S. S. child
rem were recklessly drowned-but
have you ever heard of the in
yestigationH Nay, nay, we have
notl
Entree-the 18th Amendment |!
The country has gone bone dry.
The law bottles up the booze bust
ness in an armor plated, copper
bottom, steel-riveted, seamless
soldered, air.tight, bullet-proof,
burglar-safe receptacle, and yet
from all over the country has
gone up the undisputed wall Of
booze, booze, booze! In Chicago
the soft drink parlors opened mp
so beer a few days ago and sold
it in open defiance of police and
law officers. The present law has
resulted in hive Of petty moon
sinners, making an indescribable
poor connection, and peddling it
out at a ridiculous price, to the
poor fools who think they need
booze. Now comes the ruling
that Doctors can prescribe wine
and beer for medical purposes
the brewers are firing up their
furnaces and filing their watts,
Uncle Sam has puppet hanging
around every brewery as a gov
eminent oyerseers," and half of
them have their hands out, the
beer will how-the prescriptions
will be written at so much per
per, and merrily on will Uncle
Sam go--having the hypocrites,
the grafters, and the poorest
quality of booze following him up
but minus the license tax he
has been in the habit of getting.
Our purpose in writing this
article is to call attention to the
direction we are drifting. What
we need, as the News-Record sees
it, is fewer Investigations, less
talk, more regard for caution in
our Mexican and other foreign
policies, and an absolute and un-
reservedly attempt to enforce the
Volstead act in every particular,
or else Immediately repeal it..
Winking at either federal or state
laws-however unpopular they
may be-breeds anarchy and a
disregard for any and all laws.
Uncle Sam is old enough now to
get some old fashioned common
sense in his head, and cut out his
frivolity.

How Ace, Nav Be compared.

Study of the relation between the to
tnl length Of life and the time re-
qulred to reach maturity has brought
out an interesting comparison between
man and horses. A horse Mt five
years old is said to be, comparatively,
ms old as man at twenty, and doubt
less may be expected to behave, nc
cording to equine standards, after the
manner Of the average college student
following human standards. A ten
year-old horse resembles, so far as
age and experience go, man of forty,
while n horse that has attained the
ripe age of thlrty-ive Is comparable
with a man Of ninety.-New York
Evening Post.

Why Chinese Cut Their Queues.

With the fall Of the Manchu dynasty
came the wholesale barbering of
queues. The BARRIERS Of China were|
very busy people, and their art is nowI
developing to that Of the normal toni
serial stage.
In the enrly part Of the Seventeenth
century, when the Manchu Tartars in.
vaded the country, they found the mem
wearing long hair tied in knot upon
their heads. But on the conquest OF
the country the inhabitants were com.
PEELED to adopt the queue, or long pig.
tail, often greatly heightened artl-
flcinlly by employing long. strands Of
black silk thread.
To celebrate the fall of this dynas site
rule the Chinese were eager to have
their queues removed, after the lapse
Of three centurles.-Popular Science

WHY:
Surgeons of Today Must Be
Good Carpenters,

We have wondered at the skill of
surgeons In grating pieces Of skin
from a frogs leg or from human
body upon the skinless injury caused
by burn or other accident.
But the marvels Of modern surgery
do not end there. Bone" grating Is
an art that demands the Skill Of n
specialist in the most remarkable kind
of carpentry"
Electrically driven circular saws In
the hands OF bone carpenter can
now be used to slot, splice, and alter
n fractured part Of ones skeleton.
Sometimes part Of the broken bone
is neatly shaped and slid down into
a slot cut into part Of the fractured
member. Screws Of steel, silver, ivory,
or screws made out of the patients
own skeleton, are used to hold these
jolnted pieces firmly In place.
One curious result Of these ingeni-
GUS attempts is that of repairing nm
injured jaw. A piece Of bone re-
moved from the edge Of broken hip
bone was found to serve splendidly
when properly fitted into mans
broken jaw. This man today literally
chews his food with his hip-bone-an
anomalous situation indeed!
Never before in the worlds history
was there such an opportunity for
bone carpentry as that offered by the
war. The knowledge thus gained was
not lost with the coming Of peace

A SIDEWALK NEEDED

OUR attention has been called
y to what appears to be an i'm
mediate necessity in relation TO
the paving now being put in.
That of a sidewalk between Va
shon and the High School. When
the paving is completed there
will be a strip of road south of
the high school, where an en-
bankment has been thrown up,
that will necessitate children
walking over the pavement, I'M
less some side road is built. On
a pavement 16 feet wide, with
autos coming and going in every
direction, the average country
school child, unused to the city S
street dangers, will only dodge
one car to be hit by car com
ing in an opposite direction. One
child is worth the whole paving
cost, and the News-Record earn
estly pleads that suitable walks
may be made at once, and then
emphatic orders be at once Civ
en- by the teachers for all child
rem to use such walks at all times
to and from school. Let us
prevent the accident before it
occurs. The cost will be small.

TO RESTORE MORGAN STRAIN
Efforts Of Department of Agriculture
Shown in Recent 3oo-Mile Test
for Horses.

Efforts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to restore the
Morgan strain of horses which had be-
come nearly extinct showed their ef-
feet In the recent 30o-mlle test for
army horses. Out of 81 entries, only
ten finished, and of these the sixth and
seventh were Morgan horses, one of
them raised on the departments stock
farm In Massachusetts. The horses
were required to travel 60 miles day
for five days, carrying the regulation
cavalry load of 245 pounds.

is IT THoEsopHY?

WE trust the poem we are pub
w fishing on page three will be
read by such Of our subscribers
as care for these things. We have
been trying to find out the
authors real meaning in this
poem for several years and have
discussed it with a dozen literary
minds to receive a dozen differ
ent explanations. Aside from the
measure, which is unusual, and
the rhythm, which is charming,
there is subtle charm about it
which fascinates and holds the
attention of the writer of this
article from beginning to end,
and from year to year.
We never heard Markham
classed as theosophist, but the
same is true of Browning and
Tennyson. Yet each student of
Browning and Tennyson will find
place after place where the
thought of reincarnation crops
out in their writings. Here we
find Markham-the author of the
Man with the Hoe" and "The
Building of Character" = sug-
costing the thought of reincarna-
ton in place after place of his
"Homing Heart" Nearly all of
the future is a mystery, and we
are of the opinion that the next
century will reveal many new
psychic laws which are TO day
not understood and wholly dis
believed. We are able to believe
many things-but We never did
quite get down our gullet the
idea advanced by Ella Wheeler
WilcoX-that her deceased hus-
band conversed with her through
the medium of an inch board,
with some letters printed there
on. But her magazine articles
made a fortune for the makers
of the Ouija, so let it go at that.

WHY Widows Wear Cans.

Because when the Romans were in
England they used to shave their
heads as sign of mourning and as
woman could not let herself be seen
with a bald head she made herself a
pretty cap. Though the necessity for
1t has long since passed away, the cap
still remains.
