NO RABBITS FOOT
FOR BUSTER KEATON

Buster Keaton. serio-comic OF tho
films. doesn't believe that n rabbits
foot brings luck. That Is he thought
so once. but no more. And here's tho
reason why:
Some months ago a stranger visited
the keaton studio in Hollywood, Cal,
and presented tho agile star with a
ra bbit's foot. stating that II was
synonymous to good luck. Buster sc-
cepted It He carried tho charm with
him constantly until ono day. while
showing visitors thru his film plant be
stepped on a piece of wood and twist
I'd his ankle Two OF his co-workers
started to carry him to his dressing
room. Buster was bomosning his
fate and thinking Of tho rabbit foot
suddenly his escorts dropped him
accidentally. of course-and ho fell on
tho injured ankle. tearing loose the
! iiEsments.
The attending doctor informed him
that he would be unable to work for
three weeks a moment later said
rabbit foot was tossed into a conven-
lent receptacle for waste and later

From Coal Gas.

An English engineer, Ernest Bury,
claims that he has succeeded In ex-
tracing ethylene alcohol from coal
oven gas on a commercial scale, says
the Scientific American. The practi-
cal working Of the process at the Skin
ningrove works, where $500 tons Of
coal are carbonized per week, reveals
an average yield Of 1.6 gallons Of al
cohol per ton of coal. The total weight
Of coal reduced to coke In this country
during 1913 was 14,635,000 tons, so
that the application Of Mr.. Bury's
process to this quantity Of coal would
yield 23,416,640 gallons of alcohol.
which would be available as liquid
fuel. Coal treated at gas works would
yield a further 27OO0,OO0 gallons, or,
taking alcohol and benzol together,
114,OOO,000 gallons of liquid fuel per an
mum could be produced from the car
bonization Of coal In this country
toward meeting the total requirement
OF about 160,O00,000 gallons.

ROOM FOR YOUNGER CRITICS
They Have Place in the World and
aDuty That Is Well Worth
Performing.

The younger critics, says Haywood
Broun, are the lineal descendants of
that little child in Anderson's fairy
tale who when the emperor was be-
ing made a spectacle Of and all the
world was being fooled by the sharp
tailor, refused to be quiet and cried
out, "He hasn't got anything on" These
young enthusiasts who have no posi-
tons to lose and no dignities to live
up to go about pointing TO all our
literary emperors and calling attention
to the scantiness Of their attire OF
greatness, and refuse to be silenced
by their scandalized or terrified elders
Good sense bids us welcome their hon
est gaze at even the sacrosanct per-
sons. 1t can't hurt anything really
fine, and it's about time we came out
of some of our illusions. William AL

the conservative point of view when
he said in praising Main Street.: "Of

Geese Grow Rapidly and Are Rarely
Affected With Disease.

ers. A few breeders prefer to breed
the goslings artifcially, keeping them
from one to three weeks i'm the house
at night in a covered bushel basket.
To keep record of their age and
breeding the web Of the feet of the
newly Matched gOsings should be
punched. Hens with goslings may
be confined to the coop and the Cos
lings allowed to range. In mild
weather the hens are allowed to brood
the goslings from seven to ten days,
when the latter are able to take care
of themselves. 1t is very necessary
to keep the young goslings dry, so they
are usually kept confined In the
morning until the dew is dried off, and
they should not be allowed to get into
water until partly feathered. This oc-
ours when they are from two to four
weeks old, depending on the weather
and their range. Goslings caught and
apparently drowned In a cold rain may
sometimes be revived by drying in fan
mel near a fire.
Good-sized growing coops with
board floors should be provided for the
goslings, which must be protected
from their enemies. When on range,
the young bird needs some attention,
as they may get lost or caught in
post holes and odd corners. Young
gOslings, If confined, should be given
grass yards and the coops removed
frequently to fresh grass. 1t is bet
ter to keep the growing goslings sepa-
rate from the old stock. Shade should
be provided in hot weather. If very
young goslings are allowed to run with
large animals. they are apt to be in
jured or killed.

But, at last, the tables turned for
our little heroine. A queer, kind
hearted rent collector, Pancks-a
painting little steam-tug of man, with
his putting and his pauses-had
learned to value the friendship of the
motherless girl, and so, having acct.
dentally discovered that her father
was the probable heir to an enormous
estate, had run down the clues until
finally the great wealth was turned
over to old Mr.. Dorrit.
Then away from the dreary prison
hurried the entire family.
Yet riches brought slight pleasure
to Little Dorrit The much-changed
father became ashamed of his debtor
life, and with the now richly dressed
sister and the gambling brother, put
on many airs. The father even en-
ployed q chaperon named Mrs. Gen.
eral to teach Little Dorrit society
manners.
Don't say father" declared this
lady, papa is a preferable word; 1t
gives a pretty form to the lips. Fa-
Their is rather vulgar, my dear. You
will find 1t serviceable In the forma-
ton of a demeanor If you say to your
self, on entering a room filed with
company, Papa, potatoes, poultry,
prunes and PRISM"
At this juncture the wealthy Mrs.
Merdle took an active part in the
Dorrits' lives. The chuckle-headed
son Of the Merdles fell in love with
Fanny, and after their marriage Mr..
Dorrit put all his wealth into Mrs.
Merdle's schemes-for had not this
wonderful Merdle, through various
mysterious movements, made tremen-
dous fortunes for himself and others3

IA Al NY uotHer , TOOm just
- - now?"
"Oh, she? Little Dorrit? She's
nothing; she's a within Others"
And thus Mrs. Flintwinch, wife of
the crafty, erablike walking footman
OF the household, introduced to Arthur
Clennam the name of the poor little
seamstress of the paralytic Mrs. Glen
nam.
He had noted her pale, transparent
face, quick in expression though not
beautiful in feature, except for its
soft hazel eyes. A delicately bent
head, tiny form, shabby dress-it
must needs have been very shabby to
look at all so, being so neat-were Lit
tie Dorrit as she sat at work.
A strange presentiment came into
Arthur's mind that, in some way, this
gentle maiden was connected with
his history.
For 20 years young Clennam had
lived in China with his father, only TO
return now, puzzled over mysterious
watch which that father, in the very
to his son, murmuring family and in
distinctly at the time: "Y0ur mother"
Naturally Arthur had assumed that
it was intended for Mrs. Clennam,
whom he and the world supposed to
be his mother.
Inside the watch casing was an old
silk paper with the initials ID N r
worked into 1t in beads. 1t was mes
sage-but the young man could not
fathOm 1t and the old woman would
not enlighten him. Was Little Dorrit
to whom the stony Mrs. Clennam paid
such strange, unusual kindness, con-
nected with the mystery?
They grew to see more of each 9TH
er-the girl and the young man-and
Arthur learned that the generous lit
tie Amy Dorrit was supporting not
only her poor old father, who had
been condemned to a debtors prison,
but also her pretty, frivolous sister,
Fanny, and her wild, lazy brother, Tip.
Under the then existing English laws
they were all allowed to live with
their father In that dreary prison.
Little wonder that Clennam often
spoke kindly to her and that he helped
the family. But love had not yet
come to him-though it had to Little
Dorrit. He heard the thrill In her
voice, he saw the quickening bosom,
and yet the remotest suspicion of the
truth never dawned upon his mind.
= 1t must be added here that Little
Dorrit had innocently won the love
of another man, the sentimental son
of the prison turnkey, small Of stat
ure, with rather weak legs and very
weak eyes, gentle but great of soul,
poetical, faithful. If one were to
doubt his devotion he need only read
the inscription for his own tombstone,
which the romantic youth had COM
posed when Little Dorrit said mo" to
him. 1t ran thus:

SUCCESS IN RAISING GEESE
Fowls Subsist Largely on Grass Dur
ing Growing Season, and Require
Little Attention.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Practically all the geese in this
country are raised in small flocks on
general farms, and few, If any, farms
are devoted entirely to raising geese.
Geese can be raised successfully in
small numbers and ut a profit on
farms where there is plenty of grass
or pasture land with natural supply
of water. The birds, both young and
old, are very hardy and are rarely af-
fected by any disease or insect pests.
Grass makes up the bulk of the feed
for geese, and ii is doubtful wheth-
grass range is available. Geese are
the closest known graZers, and both
the mature geese and the partially
grown goslings will get their entire
living from good pasture so long as
the grass remains green.
A body of water where they can swim
is considered essential during the
breeding season, and is desirable dur
ing the rest of the year. If there is
no natural pond, an artificial one or
tanks may be supplied to advantage.
The market for geese is not so gen.
eral as for chickens; this fact should
be considered, poultry specialists in
the United States Department of Ag-
ricuture say, in undertaking to raise
geese. The demand and the price paid
for geese are usually good in sections
where geese fattening is conducted on
large scale.
Geese are fed a ration to produce
eggs during the latter part of the win

They are allowed to make nests on

that purpose.
Goslings Matched under hens should
be examined for head lice, and little
grease-lard or vaseline-applled with
the fingers on the head and neck.
Some breeders who hatch with both
geese and hens give all the goslings to
the geese, which make the best moth

one of the possibilities along the
line of marketing associations for this
state. The growers of melons In that
territory have built up a local mar
ket for a number OF years, the me-
Ions from that section standing out
as superior TO those generally grown
in the state. But they have never at
tempted to do much with an outside
market. They have been increasing
their acreage for several years as the
market expanded with the coming
of the auto, the Sunday trade cover
ing the territory within auto dis
tance-reaching Pierre, Onida ana
Highmore, and at times farther out.
But this year, after this trade was
supplied, there was surplus, and
call was made ON the state depart
ment of agriculture to find a market
for the surplus. Inquiries sent out
by that department brought numer-
Gus replies. and several shipments
have been made to points farther

STOCK TO GET

MONEY STRINGENCY FAILS To
CHECK CATTLE MEN.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 31.-RegardIes Iess
of the fact that money conditions
are not at all favorably to the farm
er and stockraiser, there are fully
as many stockers and feeders. going
to South Dakota farms this fall as
there were year ago, according 20
f. o. Simonson, terminal market di-
rector under the state department of
agriculture, with offices in the Stock
Yards Exchange here.
Fed farmer-stockmen have the
ready money to buy feeder stock, Mr..
Simonson says, and while he admits
il is hard to borrow for this purpose,
he knows it is not impossible.
Banks with money TO lend, Mr..
Simonson explains, have largely re-
moved the element of chance con-
nected with feeding out" live stock
by stipulating the maximum price
which can be paid, when making the
lean. This is generally about 81 i
hundred for cattle, he says, adding
that although it may work slight
hardship on the man who was this
sort of stuff to sell, it tends to stab
ilize the market and leaves little
chance for loss.
"a few years ago." the marketing
director said, cit was the common
practice for farmers who were on the
market for feeders and stockers to
big against each other, and in so do
ing run the price SO high it would
be impossible for them TO make a
profit on the finished animal, unless
the winter market made a great in
crease over the fall market. This
was a profitable practice for the sell
Ter, but often proved disastrous to
the buyer"
Buying Is not confined to any one
class, according TO Mr.. SimonEon,
cattle, sheep and hogs all being TAX
en- up. Thus far supply and demand
on the Sioux Falls market have
about been equal.
