| WHERE BUNGLER DOES HARM
Always Makes Mess ct His Own Life
and Too Frequently the Lives
of Others.

Bunglers are frequently takers
above their ability to perform. To be
sure they want to be rated well among
their friends and frequently go to the
limit in telling others what they are
going to do. That's how George got
into the hospital. 1t seems George
and another colored chap did the gar
dening on a certain mans estate in
the Middle West. One morning George
didn't turn up. The master went to
Sam and said: "Sam, where's George?
I'm de hospital, sah." ''In the hos
pital; how did that happen" "Well,
you see,' replied Sam, George is mar
ried and he's ben telling me for long
time as how he's goin' to lick his wife,
cause her naggin', and yisttidy she
done hear him at it. OATS all" And
how many there are like him. They
are going to turn the world upside
down until they meet face to face with
the facts.
After the bunglers get in their work
it's impossible for anyone else to make
a good job of it. They take perfectly
good regulations and leave them pretty
poor examples of what is good. No
wood butcher ever made bigger mess
of good lumber than has many bun
gler made Of other peoples. lives. And
these artists even bungle UP their own
lives They get their heads full Of no.
tons that lead to folly. Like guns
they go off half-cocked and the dam
age can never be repaired. Careless
of the facts, they frequently make as
sertiOns that are far from true and
act according to what you expect OF
such creatures. Every effort added
seems to add to the confusion.-Grlt.

Painfully Thrilling Game.

The natives of the Philippine islands
have game known as shaping" 1t
is played by two men, Both are
nude, and after tossing a shell to de-
termine who is ''it,' one of them, the
sit" man, takes a seat on a log IN
such manner as to expose his right
thigh. He then lights a cigarette and
endeavors to maintain an air of con-
temptuous Indifference.
The other man steps back so as to
get q good swing, and then slaps with
his hand with every ounce of strength
he can put into it, The report sounds
like a pistol shot. A judge examines
the spot where the blow fell. 1t
blood blister is shOwn-that is, II the
blood can be seen just under the skin
the victim has no chance to come
back at his antagonist. If it does not
show, then he can swing at the other
fellow.

RIDE ON SUNBEAM EXPRESS
Journey That Would Be Remarkable
for Speed and for Wonders
Seen AIond the Way.

Emile Belot, the French astronomer,
suggests that, if one were able to
straddle a light ray (Which travels
$4,000 miles a second) and thus voy-
age through space, observations along
the route would be exceedingly inter-
esting.
It would take only a little more
than a second to reach the moon and
in minutes and 20 seconds one would
arrive at the planet Mars. One would
get as far as Jupiter in 80 minutes,
to Saturn in 70 minutes, to Uranus in
21lb hours and to Neptune in 4 hours.
On the way one would come across
a great many comets without tails
nebulOHs bodies of spherical shape
which are rarely seen from the earth.
It would take two years to get out
side the sphere of the suns attraction,
and by that time our orb OF day
would look like nothing more import
ant than big star.
The star nearest to us, Alpha Cen
tauri, would meanwhile be looming up,
and the wayfarer through space might
expect to arrive there in little more
than four years. By this time he
would have journeyed 24,OOO,O OO,OOO
miles.

A Good Friend

A good friend stands by you when
in need. Mineral Point people tell
how Doan's Kidney Pills have stood
the test. Patrick Whalen of corner
State and Front streets endorsed
Doan's twelve years ago and again
confirms the story. Could you ask
for more convincing testimony!
II have suffered from kidney
trouble and rheumatic pains about
ten years." says Mr.. Whalen. Il had
a great deal of pain in the small OF
back. The kidney secretions were
unnatural and I sometimes had to
pass them too frequently. | finally
decided to try Doan's Kidney Pills
and sent to Ivey's Pharmacy. | can
truthfully say they gave a great re-
lief" statement given August 81,

On December Is, 1919, Mr..
Whalen added: II think more highly
of Doan's Kidney Pills today than
when l recommended them in 1907,
as the cure they made for me has re-
manned permanent. During all the
years that have passed have been
free from kidney trouble"

The CharacterIess Derby.

The derby was as void of character
as an iron pot, yet Mr.. Howells wore
it for a time. Can one fancy Mark
Twain in a derby hat? Walt Whit
man always wore a brOad-brimmed
gray, soft-felt hat. One thinks Of Lin
coin with a stovepipe hat on, as he
wore this in most of his pictures.
Roosevelt liked a wide-brimmed felt
hat. like that of the cowboys. While
he was President l once saw him go
ing to church with a shining silk hat
on his head. The first time 1 saw EN-
erson he had on a stovepipe hat, one
much the worse for wear. He proba-
bly, never wore any other kind.-John

Must Keep Fit.

There's something magnetic in the
ability to do a difficult thing well.
Yet how often we let our powers get
away from u.s. The sweetest singer
in small town decided she wouldn't
sing ror a while Then one day q
distinguished visitor came to town
and the town wanted to do him honor.
The young lady was delighted when
she was asked to sing. But alas, she
was far below par when she attempt
ed to sing, and her performance was
general disappointment. One can't
keep fit without keeping at the fitting
business.-Grit.

Men Short in France.

The average height for men is .
feet 5 inches, and for women is 8 feet
. inches. The observation indicates
that 1910 per cent of the French peo-
pie have chestnut hair. The blondes
are next in order, forming only 1872
per cent of the population. Pure black
hair is found in 1S3 per cent-that is,
slightly more frequently than red hair,
which altogether was found in only
O.72 per cent of cases.
Pure black hair, so rare in France,
is the rule In certain Mediterranean
countries (for instance, in definite re-

COUNTY AGENT NOTES.
Another Cow Testing Association.

Another Cow Testing Association.
with six Cow Testing Associa-
tions in the county, Iowa county has
more than any other county in the
state or in the United States" is the
statement that A. j. Cramer made at
a recent school meeting at Hollan-
dale. Mr.. Cramer, who is in charge
of all associations within the state,
spent five days in this county with
the County Agent. But six is not
enough. There is always room for
good things. AS a result of the last
meeting at the Moscow Center School
House near Hollandale and two
others held previously, the seventh
association in the county was organ
led and testing will begin April LIST.
This gives the county a greater mar
gin holding the record for number
of active associations in the state.
Gull the Poor Producers.
If in this association or in any
other the gross income from herd
for the year 1920, when milk was
i selling at a high level was not moro
than about $500 from 80 or more
COWS, an average of $50 per cow.
there is urgent need for better stock,
better feeding, and better farming.
The profit per COW or for the herd is
not gross income, say nothing about
the cost of caring for and housing the
herd all year around. A farmer
whose average production is so low
that it becomes town and country
talk should be ashamed of such rec
ords rather than be proud of the
standing of his county.
Have Your Soils Tested.
If you are planning to use CONNER
cial fertilizer sometime to improve
the fertility of your farm, it may be
advisable in your case to have the
fields tested. The question often
comes up, what fertilizer shall
use?"
The Farm Soil Survey Laboratory,
Madison, is the medium by which
farmers, and others interested in
farm land, may secure information
concerning the solution of their par
ticular soil problems. The prime OBJ
iect of this laboratory is to find out
the particular needs of the soil, and
then to point out to the farmer meth
DDS of fertilization, cultivation, and
cropping, best adapted to the differ
ent kinds of soil on his farm.
Six farmers near Hollandale have
recently signed applications to have
their soils tested. The cost depends
upon how many in a community want
it done, and the size of the farm. If
only one applies the cost is $40, but
for or more the cost per farm is SIS
and in this case a representative or
the Soils Department will make re-
turn visit to explain the analysis and
give first hand advice. The charge
l of $500 is for the first 80 acres ex-
amined, and for each additional 40
acres or part thereof, $1.00.

an Ince-P Paramount production with a
great cast including Lewis Stone, Flor

Beau Revep' as you probably re-
member, is a subtle, thrilling, and un-
usual story Of New York's -four hun
dred," dealing chiefly with the COM
past Beau" Revel, leader of society,
makes with his son, Dick, when he dis
covers he is infatuated with Nellie
Steele, hostess of midnight dancing
club. In it is the strange psychologist
al thread of father, who, desiring to
save his son from woman he believes
to be unfit for him falls in love with
the girl himself. The outcome is stu
pendous-overwhelming.
The screen has never seen more sur
passing cabaret sets, more gorgeous
apartments and gowns than this pro-
ductiOn offers.
