FALLS 13O FEET AND LIVES
Man Drops Into Six Feet of Water; Breaks Nothing but High Diving
 Record

San Francisco.-Instead of being center of funeral services, John War ren, timekeeper at the Hetch Hetchy dam building site, is trying to learn if he holds new diving record. He did drop of 130 feet into only six feet of water and broke nothing other than the record, if that.
 There is a bucket swung on a fall that carries out of the Hetch Hetchy dam pit to the cliff side, and in which 1t has been the practice of workmen to make the trip down from cliff to pit, as the empty is returning. John was making this ride.
 The bucket got tangled in guy wire and, of course, tilted. Before it could clear and right itself, John was spilled and sliding down an air current.
 He hit the water either head first or feet first. No one knows, John least of all. When the mourners gathered to pick up the remains John blinked shook his head and told the boys to get back to work or he'd mark them up for time lost

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
 By (. N. Lurie Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them
THEM" AS AN ADJECTIVE.

T HE use of such expressions as "I \ saw them boys there" is, of course, one of which persons wEo eX- ercise even a moderate degree of care in speaking, would not be guilty. Yet the use of them" as an adjective is not limited by any means to those who are uneducated or careless in other respects. Perhaps this is due, as are so many other examples of in- elegant or faulty speech, to the effect of constant repetition. person of education hears others employ the eX- pression, them boys," or "those kind" and similar ungrammatical ex- pressions, and falls unconsciously in- to the same errors.
 "Them" is a pronoun, third person, plural, objective case form of they" and should never be employed as an adjective, before a noun, instead of "those' or "these." Therefore, q saw them boys" and similar expressions, should be 'I saw those boys, or q saw these boys," etc.

EMPHASIS ON HEALTH

" OUR economic success is largely matter of good health; this fact is being recognized today as it never was before. No one can do good work and be out of sorts. Any serious or prolonged illness is a drain on your earning power and an increase in your expense account.
 Keep Well" is a slogan yous might just as well adopt at once, and then live up to. For very largely it is in your own hands whether or not you shall be in good health.
 No woman should work at job that is hurting her. No question of high salary will pay her for such reckless ness. There are jobs man can do with no harm, but not a woman. Let her leave such york alone.
 There are rules of hygiene, as ex- cellent as they are simple, which it is up to you to know and understand. You must be properly fed, properly rested, kept clean and unclogged.
 Don't fill yourself with patent medi- eines. If you are ill see the best doe tor you can get and do what he tells you If you have any reason to fear that you are not in good condition go to reputable man or to hospital for a complete physical examination. Don't put this off because you are busy or fear the expense.
 Put your emphasis on health. Don't fool with a good constitution simply because you are blessed with one. If your work is trying treat yourself during your rest time with consider ation, give the machine chance to re- cuperate, or change your job. (Copyright.)

 "Poof,' he said, with a toss of his saucy head, ''it won't hurt you" and ne gave it poke which turned the box over and there on one side Jack saw little hook which held the cover.
 All three animals moved back lit tie as Jack pecked at the hook with his bill and they looked on with wide open eyes.

 The funny little fellow jumped so hard that his spring gave way and up he went with a bound into the lower branch of the tree, where he caught on twig by the back of his red coat.
 All the animals ran to a place of safety and Jack Blackbird flew to a nearby bush to see what had hap pened.
 Mrs. Bluejay soon told them, for she lived in that tree and her peace had been disturbed by what had hap pened.
 q should like to know" she said in an angry tone, Eff you fellows haven't anything better to do than play with toys and scare a body nearly out O their senses.
 Here you have sent this creature up here in my tree and my children will never learn to fly while it Is here, it will frighten them so. and I SUD- pose l will have to remove it. I will pick out your eyes if I catch any of you around here again."
 Then down to the lower limb flew angry Mrs. Bluejay. and, giving the little creature with a crooked nose a vicious peck, down he fell right on his face, while all the animals. as well as Jack Bluejay, went home as fast as they could.

CARRY 115,163 BY AIR No Lives Lost in the commer-
 ciaI Service.
Records Show Total of 3,136,550 Mileage-Many Minor Accidents
 and Forced Landings.

New York.-A total of 115, ,163 pas sengers flew 3,136550 miles in conmer- cial airplanes during the last twelve months without the joss of a single life, the Manufacturers Aircraft as- sociatlon announced here. These fg- ures are based on the performance of 425 planes and 1t is believed that the number of passengers and the mileage would be doubled if the fig ures of the 1000 commercial airplanes operating in this country were obtain- able
 In the absence of any federal sys- tenn of registration, air laws and gov ernment methods for tabulating the ownership and performance of air craft, it has been found difficult to trace the total number" the associa- t.ou stated.
 "ihe totals are based on question: naifeS distributed by the association, h.... due to the itinerant nature of Haeh of the flying, it has been difficult t0 trace and record more than half of th2Se. This one half, by eighty-seven companies, or individuals are per- i.al2ntly located in all parts of the United States.
 Much of the mileage was made on short flights of ten to fifteen miles, for which an average fee of S1250 was charged. An increasing demand for aerial transportation bstween the cities has been noted, the average charge for this service being 65 cents mile. On practically all intercity flights baggage or freight was carried, the quantity limited only by the eapa- city of the craft. This business ag- gregated 41,390 pounds
 There were accidents and forced landings, but according to the signed reports from the eighty-seven con- panies, in the 3,136,550 miles flown, not single life was lost. There were 222 forced landings and thlrty-eight accidents There have been fatal ac- cidents in other instances, but they occurred in the course of stunt or ex- hibition performances or under cir cumstances indicating that undue risk had been taken"

garlic, are used more than any other foods in their diet. The oil brings flesh, the wine makes blood, the gar lie acts as a general cleanser for the system
 Olive oil can be included in any diet, the pleasant way being as mayonnaise upon salad. Wine is not possible in every state and no one with an American taste would eat garlic. But an occasional dish of small onions, creamed or stewed, will make an excellent substitute. Car rots are also beauty foods; they en- rich the blood and purify it. Spinach is good for the complexion, for 1t purifies the blood. Apples tone up the whole system, orange juice IS laxative and grapefruit has health full acid Toast is better than bread, for all the indigestible parts of bread are removed by the second baking.

TN what travail is our Springtime born !- Mid leaden skies and garmenture of gloom. Wild waves of cloud the drifting stars consume And shipless seas of heaven greet the morn. The forest trees stand sad and tenn pest-torn, Memorials of Summers ended bloom; For unto March, the sister most for lorn, No roses come her pathway to Hume. Yet 'tis the month the Winter north ward flies With one last trumpeting of savage might. Now stirs the earth of green that uni derlies This other earth enwrapped in garb of white.

 But after looking at it a while Billy Possum decided that Tim Coon was the boy who should be given a chance

RAT IN HOUSE TO COST s20
British Law Imposes This Fine for First Offense; After That
 $77.70.

London.-Anybody discovered. har- boring rat or mouse in his house is liable to penalty of f5 [$19.425 at current eXchange] under law recent ly enacted by parliament. If the "of fense" is continued he may be fined t20 [$7770].
 Lieut. Alfred E. Moore astonished a London audience by making these statements in a lecture on Rats" which he delivered the other day. The reason why so few prosecutions had yet taken place under the "rat act, as it was termed, was because the board of agriculture was waiting until the public became more familiar with 1t.

CALCIUM ARsENATE TREATMENT


 An idea of the benefit gained by application of the calcium arsenate treatment developed and recommend ed by the United States Department of Agriculture against the cotton-boll weevil is found in the experience of a large planter at Tallulah, La. With the exception of certain test plats, this mans entire acreage was ,dusted- with calcium arsenate, the cost being $9.20 an acre He obtained an average yield of 1,215 pounds Of seed cotton to the acre on the land surrounding the test plats, while these imprisoned test plats averaged only 300 pounds, or about 25 per cent of the yield on the poisoned cotton, Thus his net profit from poisoning on these areas on sales made before declining prices oi cotton was about S120 an acre.

 had hurt the farmer more than any other class, and that on this account the farmer is entitled to every consid- eration within reason
 At such a time as this when the farmer is facing the problem of which crops to grow, ard how much he can venture to Spend in their production, MT. Harper says, that he, as farmer himself, knows that it is the most diff ficuit situation of the kind he has ever confronted. .4
 This is the way this agricultural authority figures out the proposition of profitable crop production in 1921: Grow enough food and feed crops to supply as far as possible the needs of the family, the tenants and live stock. Then pick out the kind of cash crops that seem to offer the best pros poets.
 Cotton will always be one of the best cash crops that a Southern farm CT can grow. No cotton farmer can afford to throw cotton aside alto gether.
 But cotton should fot be the only cash crop. It would only be another case of carrying all the eggs in one basket It is better to go to market with more than one crop Among these other crops are peanuts, legune hays, tobacco, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, sorghum, rice and perhaps other crops. In addition there should be a gradual adding, as means will alloy, of more livestock, beginning with hogs preferably and taking on other ani- mals as soon as possible.
 "In facing the problem of profitable crop production for the year 1921, two facts must be considered. CD Crop prices are low, CD Crop producing expenses have not fallen correspond ingly.
 "The farmer must remember that when crop prices are low, it takes more of the crops to cover the pro duction cost. This narrows the mar gin of profits. Therefore, if farmer does not look well to keeping up his acre yields, there will be no margin left above the cost of production.
 Always, the most expensive yields are the los yields and the most re- muneratiye are the high yields. If there are losses to be sustained, as was tho case in 1920. the farmer who grew the greatest yields per acre lost least.
 "A safe and sane policy that needs especial emphasis for 1921, is: Guard your profits with high acre yields. This involves good preparation of the seed bed, the use of high producing seed, liberal fertilization and thorough cultivation. A neglect to employ any one of these to the proper extent may mean that the farmer will find him self poorer at the end of the season than at the beginning.
 Labor is the greatest item of cost in producing a crop yield. It must be used to the extent of thorough cul tivation. Fertilizers are next in the list of cost items. Since high yields per acre are so essential in times oi low prices of crops, and since fertiliz CTS increase acre yields more than any thing else, they cannot be reduced in 1921. In fact, it may be that they will have to be depended upon more than ever, to make acre yields that will be profitable.
 sAn investment in good seed is one of the best that farmer can make at any time.
 Tn a word, this is time for farm efficiency, faith and courage. These virtues exercised, the farmer vii emerge from the postwar struggle vic toriously."

brought out the particular fowl l had

him and proceeded to prepare It for

When dinner was over went out
to feed the chickens. What was my
surprise to find among them the fowl

to kill for me.
OF course, lost no time in making
apologies-and also insisted that they
take ours instead, and they had a
