sufficiently dry. After har-
 vesting the ears should be
 sorted into two classes. This can be done .'apidly with or
 dinary farm labor at a time when it is too wet for field w rk.
 The first class should in- clade all the ears that ap- parently have weevil-proof shucks. These should be stored in their shucks Cntil they are needed.
 The second class should in- cIude all the ears that ap- parently have weevil-proof shucks. These ears require immediate attention to mini mize the loss, as the Weevll Tn them will continue to multi ply except in the coldest part If the winter season. As the shucks of the poorly covered ears are no protection they should be removed. Already some of the ears may be part 1ly consumed and contain adult
 insects, larvae, and eggs.
 These should be kept separate
 and are best suited for poul-
 try. All the ears showing
 slight infestation should be
 shelled and the grain cleaned to remove the live weevils. The shucking, shelling and cleaning will dislodge many of the insects and these should be collected and burn ed.
 FARM BUREAU MEETING The Farm Bureau will have its regular meeting, Saturday, August 13, at LOO p. m. at the Chamber of Com
 merce. One thing of partic- uiar importance will come up for consideration and it is especially requested and urg- ed that every member be
 present.

POST mo HUNTING" SIGNS
EVERY 700 FEET, HE ADVISES


/ In response to inquiry from the
sheriff's office Deputy Prosecutor
Kenyon has looked up the law and
rendered an opinion on the state tres
pass law. In view of the present sit
uation regarding hunters going upon
! land, his opinion will be of interest
Following is the law quoted:
Every person who shall go upon
/ the land of another with the intent
to vex or annoy the owner, or occ-
upant thereof. or to commit any I'M
! lawful act, or shall enter the enclosed
land of another for the purpose of
hunting or fishing without first hav-
! ing obtained the permission of the
owner or occupant of said land, or
shall enter upon any land of another
bounded on one or more sides by
water when notices not to trespass
every 700 feet or near the other
boundaries thereof for either of said
purposes, or shall willfully go or re-
!
main upon any land after having been
warned by the owner or occupant
thereof not to tresspass thereon, shall
be guilty of misdemeanor.
/ Following this, Kenyon gives the
following opinion:
81 am of the opinion that it is I'M
lawful for any person to enter upon
the enclosed land of another for the
purpose of hunting or fishing with
out having first having obtained the
permission of the owner or. occupant
of said land. However l think the
position of the owner or occupant
of enclosed land would be strength
lened if he would post notices to the
effect that no hunting is allowed on
the premises as often as every 200
feet on or near the boundaries of this
land"

Monster Goldfish.

In his notes In the Birmingham Post
"Pelican'' has recently dealt with an
extraordinary fish caught by a COven-
try angler, Mr.. A. G.. Kendrick. This
fish is "a golden carp, weighing only
two ounces short of IA pounds, meas
uring 271a inches in length, 211a inches
In girth, five inches in thickness, hay-
ing scales two inches long and teeth
(now extracted) over an inch in

the Walvey estate of the Coventry Co

was fishing with an eight-ounce rod

40 minutes. That it was golden carp
and not an ordinary bronze specimen

RESTORED MAHAN TO HEALTH
Invitation to Admiral Responsible for
Marveiousiy Quick Recovery
of Famous Sailor.

A retired naval officer tells story
of visit made by an American fleet
to British waters. Admiral Erben was
In command, with the late Capt. Alfred
T. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs,
as his flag captain.
One morning, it appears. Captain
Mahan came to his admiral with an
invitation he had received to dine
with duke.
81 can't accept this" said Captain
Mahan, las they forgot to invite you"
II should say you couldn't growled
the admiral. .Tll answer for YOU"
Whereupon the admiral wrote: "Ad-
mlral Erben, United States navy, re-
grets that Captain Mahan, his flag cap
tain, cannot accept the invitation of
the duke of Blank. Captain Mahan is
en- the sick list"
An hour or so later messenger
from the duke returned with invita-
lions for the admiral and the cap
tain. This time the admiral wrote
admiral Erben accepts with pleas
ure the invitation for Captain Nathan
and himself. He wishes also to al.
wise the duke of Blank that he has
taken Captain Mahan off the sick
list. "-Eyerybody's Magazine.

The Thanksgiving Cranberry.

Probably very little is generally
known as to the origin of the cram
berry. Originally it grew wild, as, in
fact, it does today in several of the
Canadian border states, in the salt
marshes of the coast states, in the
glades Of the Alleghanies ard as far
south as Virginia and the Carolinas.
The wild cranberry. however, is dis
tinctly inferior to its cultivated rela-
tive. Both grow on small, hardy
shrub, about six inches IN height. The
fruit takes its name from the appear
ance of the flower, which, just before
expanding into perfection, bears a
marked resemblance to the neck, head
and bill of a crane. Hence the name
.crane-berry," which has become "cran-
berry" Thanksgiving and the c-an-
berry are one and inseparable. Dur
ing the year the cranberry market Is
steady, but in the month Of November
the demand is phenomenal, over half
of the years crop being disposed OF
within 80 days. Over a million bush
els are marketed each year in the
United States.

The Yawn.

The amount of effort we make in
yawning is surprising. DIR. c. Mayer,
writing in the Lancet, says there are
three stages, and the whole process
lasts about six seconds. In that time
we widen the chest, lower the
diaphragm, elevate the wings of the
nostrils and the soft palate, draw the
tongue upward and backward and d.
late the rima glottidis, the opening be-
tween the true vocal chords. We also
depress the lower jaw to its greatest
extent, contract number of muscles
in the neck, shoulders and trunk,
widely open the mouth, close the eye
lids, feel the noise in the ears and
have a feeling of pleasure and salts
f6Ntion. We stretch the arms and ex-
tend the trunk. Altogether, it is
most complete Recommendations

FIRST CUPBOARD IN AMERICA
Said TO Have Been Brought TO the
Country by Lord Fairfax
Preceded ceIlarette.

1t was not the custom until u regent
period for each person to have sep
arate drinking vessel, and even as late
as 1856 one writer says: AS for
drinke, it is usually filled in pots, COB
lets, jugs, bOls of silver in noblemen's
houses; also In fine Venice glasses Of
all forms, and for want of these else
where pots Of earth are used. All Of
which are seldom set upon the table,
but each one, as necessitie urges,
calleth for cup Of such drinke as he
likes"
A cupboard richly garnished" was
therefore necessity in those days.
That was one Of the ways people dis
played their wealth.
Lord Fairfax is said to have brought
the first cupboard to this country
when he settled in Virginia.
The framework of the first soup
boards was always covered with
cupboard carpet" and for this pur-
pose rugs of "Turkeyworke" were Inn
ported from the East and became the
first harbingers of those larger cover
ings to which nowadays alone the
word carpet is attached. The change
from an open stagewOrk to an en-
closed cupboard" in the modern
sense, was gradual one, and arose
out of the pilfering tendencies of the
servants of those days. "Almerics,' =
or classets, were, therefore, places in
the lower part of the staging, into
which the food was placed. The cup
board then became '.gardeviance,
and is frequently mentioned by old
authors. After came the cellarette.

HOW ISLANDS WERE PEOPLED
AnthropoIogists Believe 1t Was as a
Result of involuntary Voyages
Made by Savaoes.

Sixteen natives of the Pelew islands
in the north Pacific made an inyolun-
tary canoe voyage to Formosa, which
anthropologists find interesting. AS
reported, the voyage seems to add
proof to current theory of the man.
ner In which the innumerable islands
of Oceanica were settled by man.
Now, the Pelew islands lie east Of
the southern groups of the Philippines.
Sixteen savages in three canoes with
outriggers were fishing near one OF
the islands when a gale blew up and
nothing to eat but fish. They We're
driven out for many days, some say
sixty, in which time they probably
travelled sixteen hundred miles in var
ious directions, and at last sighted
Forinosa, an island of which they had
never heard.
Almost dead from exhaustion, they
landed and were kindly treated by the
natives of that island. When they
were able to eat and had regained
their strength they were sent to Hong
kong, thence to the Caroline islands
and from there home in trading
schooner. After more than three
months absence they were hailed by
their friends as risen from the dead.
1t is by such involuntary voyages,
anthropologists think, that man was
placed on many of the widely scat
tered islands.

Why "Pot-Luck?n

When an Invitation is issued to
"come and take pOt-luck" it is under
stood that no special preparation Is
made for the invited guest. There
was time, however, when ''pot-luck
meant dishing the food out of a pot
and when the guest really took chances
of getting good meal or very slim
one. In the old days-and the prac-
flee is still in force in some parts OF
Europe-nothing came amiss to the
family cooking pot, suspended from
the pot-hook in the middle of the ire
place. Everything edible was thrown
in it, and Ito keep the pot boiling
the fire was seldom or ever allowed to
20 out. When meal time came every
one fished In the pot for himself and
whatever he happened to find was
'pot-luck."

sabbath Days Journey"

's5@ssA Sabbath days journey" was the
distance that the law Of the Jews levi
IDENTITY also of the early Christians)
permitted one to walk on Sunday.
In Acts 10, the Sabbath days
journey Is placed at the distance of
Mount Olivet from Jerusalem.
Any one could walk the distance
from the city around the suburbs, and
by the rule of the Levites this distance
was fixed at circumference the
radius of which was 1000 cubits.
The Talmud places the Sabbath days
journey at twelve miles.-London Tit

take a very important letter from the

him of my plight. He was quite kind.

might get the connection. However,
this was an impossibllity on my part,

TOO MUCH TROUBLE

Roger w. Babson, the statistician
and advisor to 10000 of Americas
ablest executives, issues the follow
ing statement:
People little realize what the in
come and other Federal taxes are
doing to kill prosperity and enter
prise.
The bank1 elearings, building per
mits, and other figures now coming
out for the two weeks proceeding
March 18th (when the Federal Tax
Statements were due) indicate that
the time which 100000 people have
given simply to preparing these re-
ports resulted in loss of about
81 100000 in sales, $550, ,000, 900
in manufacturing, and $500, ,000, 900
in other lines. If we add to these
figures the time of bookkeepers, ac-
cenntants, government tax officials,
collectors, and inspectors whose work
is wholly unproductive and who
from the economists point of view
are simply parasites on the country,
we have far greater losses.
But some say: "Think of the
$4,000, 100000 which the government
will be able to spend this year." This
Is where we are all being fooled. If
the making out of these returns and
the collecting of the money did not
cost one cent, the country would not
be any better off. The whole process
is simply the ''robbing of Peter to pay
Paul. and the robing'' costs the
American people about $4,000, ,000, ,000
q year in actual cash. Add to this
the physiological effect upon men OF
enterprise q refer to the retarding
the dampening effect of this whole
tax business on the ambitions and
efforts of the men who play and pro.
mote great enterprises-the men whS
really make prosperity and the losse:
above indicated must be multiplied
many fold.

Revenue Williams and his entire stat
