A COW.THAT TRIED
TO JUMP THE MOON
Gets Drunk, Fences Easy,
Tries Other Things.

Charleston, July 2S.--This is the
tale Of COW that tried to jump
over the moon. But unlike the bo-
vine immortalized in the Mother
Goose rhyme, and like the mythology
ical Phaeton, this poor cow died in
the attempt. The cow belonged to
Samuel Young, Of Campbelis Creek.
She started out by jumping a fence,
which was easy. She then jumped
several more fences until she arriv-
ed at private still. whereupon she
proceeded to make a hearty meal of
moonshine mash. Bess-that was
her name-had her first stomach
filled to capacity and was contem-
plating the enjoyment she would
have in chewing such a delicious
cud and passing it on to her second
stomach, when Mr.. Young found
her. He tried to pursuade her to
return home. But, poor Bess was
drunk and could hardly make It..
She staggered on all fours and had
difficulty in keeping the straight
and narrow cowpath Mr. Young
tried to lead her. Then, having so
much difficulty in keeping ON earth,
she tried to jump off it, doubtless
in an effort to jump over the moon,
although there was no moon at the
time, the sun being high in the hea-
vens, but for the sake OF literary
comparison it may be taken for
granted that she mistook the sun
for the moon. But, Bess was not
equal to the task. She gave one
last. strenuous. fatal jump and fell
over on her side dead-of intoxica-
ton.

JAP NAVY MEN
 NOT MASTERS
 OF AIR CRAFT
tpy International News scrvicc)

(By International News ScrviccD
 WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-Japan is reported to be building up a navy that can give equal battle to the American fleets. if the time ever comes when these two nations enter into hostilities.
 There is respect among the naval men of America for the ships of the Japanese navy.
 Reports of development of air craft in Japanese are meagre, how ever. and there is a surprising lack of respect for the aerial defenses of Japan.
 Recent tests conducted by the forces that ahve attacked surface craft have convinced naval experts that aircraft furnish a valuable weapon for the naval warfare of the future.
 No official comment is forthcoming from either the navy department or
  cess of aviation in Japan, but it is known that the intelligence divisions of both departments have reports which indicate that at the present time Japan offers no serious oppo- sition to the United States as a pos sibblc aerial enemy. These reports show that Japan, rapidly developing her air forces, is building aircraft, but is failing to build a strong force of air-fighters.
 The Japanese thus far have failed to indicate that they are a flying race, reports of casualties in the Japanese aerial forces showing a re- markedly high death rate. There have been but few Japanese aviators who have shown the intrepid skill which makes for good air-fighting. The Japanese air forces are now largely manned by British and Ger man fliers and mechanics.
 Whether the Japanese will finally conquer the air is still a matter of conjecture There are some avia- tion experts who believe that the people of the Orient are psychologi- cally incapable of development as aviators These experts say that only good horsemen make good aviators, and they declare that the Japanese are not a horse-loving race. Again. it is pointed out that the Japanese are not mechanical and in support of this it is said that they have not yet mastered the submarine and

Polish-Americans Start Huge Migration to
 Canada
CBy International News service)

(By International News Seryice)
 WINNIPEG, Aug. 15. Twenty thousand Poles in the United States. according to an announcement here by Vincent A. Danielski, will soon take up farm lands in Manitoba.
 Danielski, whose headquarters are in Chicago. represents the Union Liberty Association, which he says directs the affairs of Poles in the United States. He was commissioned to select an area of 30000 acres in Manitoba for the Poles. He said it was the intention of the organization to extend it's work into Ontario, Sas- katchcwan and Alberta.
 Polish settlers have proved to be serious, successful farmers and an asset to young country In west ern Canada there are several set dement's of Poles and other Slavic peoples. Records show that they are progressive, hard-working and quick to adapt themselves to the sys- tenn of education and government
 It is thought that the immigra- tion restriction act passed in the United States will start the Euro pean immigration tide flowing into Canada and will attract many foreign residents of the United States here. Those from the United States will include many who wish 10 join their close kin from overseas.
 Because Of vast areas of good land available in the prairie provinces immigration from Europe to Canada is expected by colonization authori- ties to be enormous in the next few years.

LIBRARY WORK

IBItAIiI work has great appeal l. to many women. \ girl i, sure nf a good deal uf liberty in such work. can add to it's value and interest if she be ~o minded. and can feel fairly certain of permanent employment.
 But the salaries are small very small. Like the teacher. the librarian must struggle 10 make both ends meet and keep up appearances. She has usually had a thorough education and a special training that has cost money. Sometimes she begins her work with n debt tu pay off She often injurrS her health in the attempt to do this
 This k wrong.
 l know one young woman who Is librarian in technical library Every thing about the work is attractive and interesting; the girl loves it. But she could not afford to keep the position were it not that she has small prI- vate income to help, and no one de pendent upon her. She gets only $l ,3o0 Il year, with Il short vacation.
 Libraries and library positions are To see great increase in the next few years. Clever and. well-hred women will he in demand. But how can such women afford, with living expenses what they are tn take positions so poorly paid?
 There must be change In these things
 The community must recognize that positions of th+s kind. which are an as- set dO the whole ncighborhood, should receive fair return. A good library cannot be good unless the librarians who work in it are well trained ami drst-class. Such cannot go on forryrr making sacrifices hcruu~c they wi>u to serve the community, and love th' labor they do.
 Ii is high time to insist on proper increase in library salaries.

Others point to the fact that they will always be able to secure foreigners who will man their air-fleets.
