Fidelity Marked TeIeqrapher.

One striking example of the early
spirit of endurance under great stress
of which the telegrapher of the old
school was capable was given by John
Carnahan, then young man in his
thirties, at the time of the Custer
massacre. He was operator and news
paper correspondent at Bismarck,
which was the nearest telegraph Of
fee to the scene of Clusters last fight,
500 miles west. Attending his regular
duties, and gathering here and there
from the incoming scouts and plains
stragglers the thrilling story of Custer
to send to the anxiously waiting world,
he worked 40 hours without rest, and
for several days and nights he only
caught few winks of sleep, yet all
the newspaper reading world were
eagerly grasping for the thousands Of
words of story he was gathering. They
never knew how one man was work
Ing to satisfy them.

Milky Way Legends.

Fables regarding this group Of stars
appear In the literature of almost
every nation. The Chinese and Jap
anese regard 1t as stream, with sill
very fishes sporting in the waves. The
American Indians and the African
Bushmen associate 1t with lights to
guide the path of wandering spirits
to the happy hunting grounds. A
Greek legend has 1t that when Phae-
ton was driving the chariot Of the sun,
the horses took fright at the spectacle
of the monsters of the zodiac. They
bolted from their road, set the heav-
ems on fire and came near burning up
the earth. The scorched track Of
their runaway was marked by the
milky way.

STEW OR SELL ALL BOOSTERS


Farmers lose many millions Of dol
lars annually from bad methods Of
producing and handling eggs. Much
Of this loss is preventable, because it
is due to the partial Matching of fer
tile eggs. which have been allowed
to become warm enough to begin to
incubate.
You can help save the loss due to
blood rings by keeping the male bird
from your flock after the Matching
season Is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ
Of the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly becomes blood ring,
which spoils the egg for food and
market. Summer heat has the same

LUCKY SlxPENCE SAVED HIM
Good Story Of How Fate Interviewed
to Preserve Beau Brummell to
History's Pages.

The old superstition about the lucky
charm of a crooked sixpence arose
early In the Eighteenth century, and
its author was none other than Beau
Brummel, the most famous OF the
worlds handles, Brummel, although
the bosom friend of the prince of
Wales, came from common enough
stock, his grandfather having been a
valet. But he saved, as did Brum-
mells father, and Brummell had some
S150,OO0 to serve him. He became a
great gambler and a good loser, often
stalking thousands of pounds. One
night he played at Walters club, and
when he rose from the table he was
a pauper. Not only that, but heavily
in debt.
He wandered out into the London
streets, with head downcast; and as
he strolled along he picked up
crooked sixpence. In a whimsical mo-
ment he returned to the club and
matched it with chance friend. He
won, matched again and again, and
won each time. The game changed
to shilling matches, and then to gold
pieces, and Brummell at the end OF
a few minutes found himself with two
or three pounds. He went to the
gaming table, sat down, and when
dawn came and the game closed he
had won over 1900 pounds, or about
100000. The crooked sixpence he car
ried with him for years, and shortly
after he lost it his bad luck arose
again, and he once more became
pauper. ....

Plant Diseases Costly.

Millions of bushels of grain, fruit
and vegetables and big tonnage Of
cotApn were lost to American farmers
last year by plant diseases, according
to figures compiled by the plant dis
ease survey of the Department Of Ag-
riculture. The survey said that the
statistics indicate that lack of prompt
application of known measures of con-
troll was largely the cause of the loss.
The plant disease survey estimated
the losses at 112,000000 bushels Of
wheat, 50,0OO,0O0 bushels of oats, 3d.
100000 bushels of corn, 50,OOO,OOO
bushels of potatoes, 100000 bushels
Of sweet potatoes, $4,000 tons of to-
matoes, $4,000 bales Of cotton, 5000.
600 bushels Of peaches and 100000
bushels of apples.

Three PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.

The President and two ex-Presidents
the first time In the history of the
country, In an appeal for a philan-
thropic enterprise. President Harding,
ex-President Wilson and ex-President
Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
the famine victims of China.
One Of President Harding's first Off
cial acts after his inauguration, taken
when he had been in the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor In be-
half of Americas sister republic In the
East. President Harding said in part:
AT this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment in my administration, 1 desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore in
behalf Of the starving people of large
section of China.
"The picture of China's distress is
so tragic that I am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer
lean people will continue to contribute
TO this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"
In appointing the American commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with his
own immediate predecessor in the
White House, ex-President Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas w.
Lamont Of New York, as chairman.
President Wilson said in his procla-
nation:
"Not only in the name Of humanity,
but in that of the friendliness which
we feel for a great people in distress,
venture to ask that our citizens shall,
even though the task of giving is not
today light one, respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
helm"

Powdered Lemon Juice.

One of the newest fruit products is
powdered lemon juice. 1t is pure juice
reduced to a perfectly soluble powder.
Details of the process used have not
been given out, but 1t is an adaptation
of the well-known spray method Of
reducing milk TO powdered form; in
deed, the originators of the product
are powdered-milk manufacturers, the
largest in the world. The process can
also be used successfully with orange
juice. The originators intend to erect
California factory for the manufac-
ture of the product.

CLEAN CONDITION OF FLOCK
Boards Under Roosts Make II Easy
to Remove Droppings Daily
Little Sand Helps.

To keep the flock in a clean and
sanitary condition dropping boards
should be provided and roosts above
them. This makes it easy to remove
the droppings each morning and helps
greatly to keep the house free from
Objectionable odors. A little sand
sprinkled on the dropping boards af-
ter each cleaning will make the clean
ing easier.

"PoIiteD Motor Horn,

The magazine Motor announces the
arrival of the courteous motor horn.
Up to now the motor horn has been
decidedly cacophonous. 1t squawks un-
pleasantly; 1t bellows alarmingly; it
utters noises disagreably suggestive of
nausea.
But the new horn, which Is appear
ing on the market, has tone that Is at
once polite and powerful. 1t warns, yet
does not offend the sensitive ear. The
tone-adjusting mechanism is so con-
trived and arranged that the horn Is
easily regulated for any degree of vo-
ciferousness, but it yet carries warn
ing to the pedestrian.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-American
farmers generally will experience
the best season financially in several
years, and will pass their increasing
prosperity on in some measure to
the rest OF The country.
This is being brought about. par

higher prices for farm products and
the increased income will AFFORD

Coming Year to Be One
of Best For Farmers

B. W. Snow. noted Chicago crop
expert. wired that the crop short
age will be OF general benent" TO
the agricultural community. adding
that the increased income will be
distributed TO production in all
sections OF the country"
The winter wheat crop is thresh-
ing less than was expected and will
turn out only about $50. 900. 900
bushels" he said. Spring wheat was
affected by heat and rust and prob
ably will not exceed 200. .O00, 600 bu-
shells This total Of 75O.OOO.O 900 bu-
shells is sufficient TO meet domestic
wants and furnish and export. taking
into consideration the carryover OF
perhaps 100000 bushels. But this
is less than the world needs from
America and with the crop shor.agc
in India and continued failure Of
Russia TO produce. the world sltua-
uon for wheat is adjusted TO a very
narrow market
The oats crop is the poorest In
90 years. Il viii rot exceed 1.000.-
100000 bushes compared with L.
500,0Oo,000 las. year. other sa.ail
grains are equai'y unsatisfactory.
Corn is a debatable proposition
with the chances for a very mod
crate yield. Another food crop Of
great importance Is potatoes. and
the failure in that is very severe.
The crop Will hardly equal two
thirds OF last years.
THE crop shortage is general in
character. and every section is IA
vored. with something in the way OF
production. This will work TO the
benefit Of the agricultural com
munity, because the higher prices
will be distributed to production in
all sections OF the country"
