JUNCTION CITY MAN WINS
CHIPPEWA FALLS HOTEL

A large number of River Falls peo-
pie spent the Fourth in Chippewa
Falls, most of them driving down oil
Sunday and returning after the big
hotel drawing which took place about
nine o'clock Monday evening.
The numbered coupons were all
placed in a big churn on the platform
in front Of the grandstand. The
ohulE was rugged to run by motor,
but the weight of the ballots was toe
much for the little machine and the
committee had TO lend hand in maxi
ing it revolve.
A little girl was chosen to pick out
the SLIPS. She first drew ten nuni-
hers, the chlrn being revolved after
each number was drawn. Then the
TEN slips were put back and the churn
ained over again several times.
Then, while the crowd of 10000
SPECTATORS cheered, the little girl pick
ed out the eleventh and winning nGnl-
Ter. It was E-67, and was owned By

The drawing was followed by a
laautiful display Of fireworks, and
just as the 'Good Night" illumination
was flashed heavy downpour Of rain
came to drench the thousands who
were out on the grounds. The storm
lasted but few moments.

Movies In Maths"

Movie aids to instruction in mathe-
matics are being utilized at Hunting
ton school here. Geometry, dull sub
ject in other days. is said to have
become almost thing Of joy. Text
books are used, but only after an
appetite for solids, surfaces and space
has been created and stimulated by
lines that move and by animated
angles.
Charles III. Sampson, the Instructor,
says he uses two reels Of 1000 feet
each. "The purpose" he says. SIS not
to teach geometry but rather to gain
valuable aid In the teaching of 1t.
"The subject is introduced on the
film by japanese juggler. He
appears with a basket filled with
geometrical figures of all kinds which
he juggles with skill. Thus the
students are early interested in the
general subject. Because too few
students appreciate the value of the
historical background there is next
introduced a series Of short life
sketches. Boston Dispatch In the
New York Tribune.

ALMOST GAVE AWAY SECRET
Little Girl Would Have Had Sweet
Revenge If She Had Reached
That Toupee.

A prominent Vigo county business
man wears toupee. Only his
family and closest friends know.
But recently 1t almost became pub
lie fact He was dining with his wife
and some friends at large hotel,
when in walked another friend with
his four-year-old daughter. The bust
ness man likes to tease children, so
he Immediately began on this one. He
called her little boy. and persisted
In addressing her In that way
1t was evident she was not enjoy
ing the incident, and the vigo county
mans wife came to the child's rescue.
IF he doesn't stop calling you names
I'd pull his hair If / were you," she
advised.
The little girl started to follow
that advice, and then fun did begin.
The way that man ducked and begged
the youngster to desist threw the
crowd into paroxysms of laughter.
But the people who knew about the
toupee nearly went wild. They were
almost sorry when he finally per-
suaded her TO be friends and leave
his head alone.-Indianapolis News.

New Idea in JeIIy-Making.

In the jelly-making process patented
by Nj. o. Johnson, fruit juice is con-
centrated by freezing out a portion
of its water, and Is then heated to
temperature high enough to coaguiate
suspended matter, though not high
enough to impair the flavor. After sepa-
ration of coagulated matter, the juice
is sterllized by heating to a tempera-
ture below that employed for coagula-
ton, then jellified after sugar has been
added. Sugar added before coagula-
ton may give better Qualification.

II Stands to Reason.

The other day downtown princi-
pal summoned before her two young
sters who had been guilty Of fight
ing another boy. After proving
their guilt, shs turned the husky
looking youngster over her knee and
administered good, old-fashioned
spanking. But at the other one she
hesitated She voiced her reason
to teacher standing near: Il hate
to whip him. He's so thin and sick
ly looking" she said.
The chunky culprit overheard her
speech. 81 guess criminals can be
skinny as well as fat" he sobbed ac-
cusingly.

Not Absolutely Washed.

Pycherley is hard-hearted man.
The spirit Of Christmas never enters
his body; and, indeed, if he has any
particularly unpleasant intelligence to
convey, he generally manages to save
Ii up for Christmas time.
His wife, however, is different, and
last Christmas entered the dining room
with a troubled look.
"Oh, john" she said, MARY just
swallowed a shilling! What shall we
doY
Mary, let it be said, occupies the
position of maid-of-all-work in the
Pycherley household

house. "Well, / suppose we'd better
let her keep it. She would have ex-
pected Christmas box, anyhow

HONORED NAME IN MEDICINE
Henry DetwiIer, Native OF Switzerland,
the First to Practice Homeopathy
in America.

Among the first, If not the first, to
successfully practice homeopathy In
America was Henry Detwiler, who
was born in Langenbruck; Switzerland,
December Is, 1875.
He studied medicine number of
years before he came to this country
on vessel containing 400 French ref
ugees who left their country after the
defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was
appointed ship physician, and success
fully treated an epidemic of dysentery
which had broken out during the pas
sage.
Coming to Pennsylvania, he settled
in the Lehigh Valley. and gained promi-
hence by treating large number of
people who were attacked with q mys-
terious disease which he finally dag
nosed as bilious collie, resulting from
eating apple butter
He early made study of the sys-
TEN Of medicine founded by Hahne-
mann, and in 1928 dispensed the first
remedy in Pennsylvania, in accordance
with lHe law OF SllHiidTS, anu uuIiuS
the remainder of his life was devoted
homeopathist.
Doctor Detwiler formed an intimate
acquaintance with Hahnemann, who
gave him a wonderful reception in
Paris, where he met other noted ply
sicians and scientists. He gave many
natural history specimens to various
colleges. founded an iron industry and
finally died at the advanced age OF

Golden sausages were used by relief
workers to carry money in parts OF
Asia Minor where bandits are at
work. One Of the best methods adopted
was the taking of money from Con-
stantinople to the interior Of Anatolia
by extracting meet from string Of
sausage and substituting gold. This
ruse succeeded because the robbers
are mostly Turks and have the Mos
lem adherence Of the pig and its
products. The worker In charge of
the golden sausages was held UP sey-
eral times, but the hidden gol1 waa

To KIN Wood Horers In Lumber.

Kiln drying is fatal to some IL not
all the wood-boring grubs, the forest
service laboratory Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture at
Madison, Wis, has discovered. This
fact is Of considerable Importance to
users of ash, hickory, and many other
woods which are attacked by insects.
Manufacturers using ash lumber, for
instance, are much annoyed by the
injury worked by the red-headed ash
borer. Air seasoning has no effect
on the activities of these grubs, but,
according to tests made by the labor
atory on wood infested with them, any
kiln-drylng process which can be con-
sidered practical for seasoning ash
of any thickness will put an end to
the borers.

oak in River Bed.

Just before the war, says the Amerl-
can Forestry Magazine of Washington,
bed of the Moksha river, for length
of 400 miles, was full of magnificent
oak trees. Oak has the peculiar prop
erty of lasting for centuries when
buried In water or wet sand. Oak
piles from bridges constructed by the
Romans have been found to be as
sound as when placed, nearly 1000
years ago.
