Advises Taking The County Paper.

Southern (Ripley) Sentinel.
The harder times are, the more
necessary it is for people to take
their county paper There are many
bargains offered in stringent times
and usually offered through the pa
per. One not taking the paper will
miss it all and sit down to envy the
fellow who got it. The county paper
is the medium of all legal and official
statements made to the public con-
corning taxes, improvements and all
such things and if one would keep up
with everything it is necessary to
keep the county paper in the home.
Your little blue mule gets out and
goes off two or three miles and some
one takes him up aud sends notice
to the paper. If you are taking the
paper you see it and go right along
over there and get the beast and
ride him home. II you don't take
the paper you may go out and ride
around two or three days looking for
the little blue mule when the paper
would have saved the time.

WHY SOME SURGEONS
CHARGE BIG BILLS

A surgeon writing to the New York
Herald, apparently in protest against
the Johns Hopkins limitation on fees,
tells why he sent a bill Of $S2,500 to
the father of a child whose life, he
says, he saved. He gave four months
attention to the child, he explains,
and prevented her from becoming a
cripple.
In justification of his bill the doctor
tells how in October, 1900, having
worked in a store, an office and a
factory, he, at the age Of eighteen,
determined to become a physician;
how he worked his way through COL
lege and, incidentally, injured his leg
and became a patient in a charity
ward of a hospital of which later he
was chief surgeon; of the work he
did in various hospitals and got little
or no pay, and of how much he has
done of service to the public.
All this, he explains, he did while
he "had the hope and faith that some
day my services would be required by
somebody who could afford to pay
what those services were worth"
Therefore when the child Of rich
father was stricken and the wealthy
man who, by the way, was one of his
friends, engaged him and told him
mot to underestimate your services
| he felt he had a right to charge in
! accordance with the mans wealth.
, The rich father, the doctor writes
spent approximately 100000 a year
and had $4,000 in available assets
On that basis he sent in bill of s82,-
500. The rich man sent it back with
| the declaration that it was a joke
Since then the doctor has had to ac-
cent what he was willing to give me.
The disappointment, the doctor says
| has rendered it necessary Tor MIN &C
discontinue his charity hospital work
so he can devote his mind to improV-
ing his financial status.
1t is question whether this medi'
cal man in the indictment he draws
against the rich man does not indic'
himself.
Possibly the child's father does
spend 100000 a year. But where
the doctor is far astray is when, ap'
parently, he thinks man with
"sS4O,0OO in available assets" woulc
not have trouble in meeting an $82,'
500 doctors bill. The doctor seem
ingly figures his bill as 10 per cent OF
the fathers wealth.

GOING 1T ALONE IN
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL

Only two men have swum the Eng
lish Channel, and young American
wishes to be the third. Henry F. Sui
Ivan, Of Lowell, Mass, has already
made three attempts to cross under
his own power, and was within two
and a half miles of the French coast
before it was necessary to take him in
tow and pull him in. Undaunted by
: these thrilling experiences the
Channel is always rough-Sullivan is
going to try again this summer, says
a writer in the Boston Herald; and
this time, he believes, he will touch
foot on French bottom without leav-
ing the water. His first effort was in
1913, when he started from North
Foreland. He was in the water ten
hours, and travelled about thirty-tive
miles in all, including the drifts and
tides which carried him up and down
the Channel. On this occasion he
was within five miles Of the French
coast before he had to be taken into
the pilot-boat. He found the water
conditions and the temperature very
much against him. Notwithstanding
says the writer
In 1914 he went over again and was
in readiness to set out from Dover,
England, when the world-war broke,
and that place and the Channel was
made so unsafe for swimming that
the try had to be given up. In 1920
he went over again and made two
tries. On the first he was in the
water over nineteen hours and came
within three and one-half miles Of
the French coast, and on the second
occasion he was in the water over
eighteen hours and was within two
and one-half miles Of France when
the pilot ordered HID to quit. On both
the latter tries the condition of. the
water and the weather were most
trying, but it was only after he had
battled the elements for more than
seven hours and made not the slight
est headway that he decided to give]
it up as hopeless.

CHEMISTS SCORE AGAIN
Silk Purse Made Of SOws' Ears to Be
Put on Exhibit

Cambridge, Mass-A silk purse
made from sows' ears, as chemis-
trys answer to the old saying that
it couldn't be done, will be shown at
the Chemistry Exposition in New
York during the week of September
'12.
In announcing the successful results
Of his experiments, Arthur D. Little,
Inc, chemists and engineers, of this
city, said the silk was not very strong
and that there was no present indus
trial. value in the process involved.
lit was more or less the product of
chemistry at play, but a contribution
+ also to philosophy in proving the fal-
|lacy Of the old proverb.
/ In reciting the factors that enter
led into the transition Of sows' ears
from Chicago stock yards to a silk
purse, such as Woman might carry,
the chemists explained that the first
step was to analyze the silk worms
method of making silk. This done its
caterpillar chemistry was adopted in
the laboratory.
1t was found that man had to pro-
vide a substitute for process by
which the silk worm exudes from two
fine ducts in it's head minute threads
Of viscous liquid, coated with an
other creation, which are cementeG
into double strand. This becomes a
firm filament of silk when it coagu-
lates on reaching the air.
Analysis of this viscous liquit;
showed it to- be like glue and with
somewhat similar chemical proper
ties. The sow's ears being chiefly
gristle and skin, also has the natural
elements OF glue. This was obtained
from the ears and it was put through
several processes of preparation, fill
tered under pressure and placed in
spinning apparatus of a special de-
sign.
The solution Of glue and chemicals
came out as sixteen very fine color
less streams, joined into composite
fiber trea:ed to give it strength and
color, and processed yet again to OBJ
tain the desired soft, silky feel. The
loom, the fabric was formed and the
purse made.

"A Wife'S Revenge"

The wife was having a small bridge
party at the house for company OF
women and one Of the guests failed
to apear, leaving a vacant place at
the table, so she called up her hus-
band at the Office and asked whether
he would not come home early and
"fill OUT
"But why can't you play with
dummy" he asked, evidently having
no relish for the game.
'sWhy, the girls have invited you,'
was the wifely response.
