A "chop," in China, is a trademark.

Home Brew Thirty Centuries ago.


For originating the art of home
brewing the Persians claim credit.
Thirty centuries ago, according to an
account, King Jamshid had a great
jar of grapes. Pressure Of the top lay

sour. One of the kings wives, having
learned of the liquid in the basement
which the king believed to be, and had
labeled poison" decided to use it te

nEaater Riding" in Bohemia.

In various parts of Bohemia, now
the principal state of the new Czecho-
Novak republic, a curious old custom
prevails, that of Easter riding" On
each Easter day, at four o'clock in the
morning, the riders assemble, dressed
In black and carrying crosses, flags
and other emblems. From Schonwald
they proceed on three hours ride
TO Kuhn, where they attend service.
The priest, after sermon wherein
lie refers to the horse as a symbol Of
power, bestows his benediction on the
animals and their riders. This done
the riders visit the neighboring cas-.
ties, where they receive hospitality,
subsequently making their way home,

crowd. The origin Of the curious Gus.
tom is lost in the mists of antiquity.

The Mother Of RaIIooninn.

A washerwoman was the mother of
balloOning and it all started in France
about 1870. The washerwoman wished
to dry a skirt more rapidly than could
be accomplished by air and sunshine,
so she rugged it UP over the fireplace.
The hot air soon dried the cloth and
the woman was astonished to see it
round out like ball and float up to
the ceiling. A neighbor named Mont
golfer saw the strange occurrence and
it gave him the idea from which he
made the first balloon.

Mastered Twenty-Nine Languages.

Sir Richard Burton, explorer and
linguist, was the master of 20 Ian
guages which lie understood perfectly.
He made it a rule to study or read
something in one Of these languages
every day and managed to keep them
separated in his mind. He had seven
work tables and switched from one
to the other every day At night he
banished all work and devoted him
self to a novel. When he became sick
he would 90 to bed with bunch of
novels and stay there on starvation
diet until he felt ready to get up and
go to work.

MORAL: NEVER HELP
WIFE WITH WASHING

Grover c. Algee is a printer OF
this city who has not been at accus-
toned haunts for some days past
When we inquired into his absence
this is the bulletin Mr.. Algee sent
out as to why he is not at work.
Editor Banner-News:-
| herewith submit the fol
lowing: While assisting with the
family washing a week ago, / hap
pened to have the misfortune of ac-
cidently spilling a pail of boiling wa
ter on my right foot, the bulk of it
going into my shoe top on left side
of ankle.
The usual frs aid home remedies
were applied as quickly as possible
and all seemed o. X. but four days
afterwards it began to swell-blood
poison setting in. Result: A big
swelled foot and leg and pain to the
tune of Dixie.
Had a doctor dress it up and am
now laid up for a weeks vacation of
pain, yet coming along better-swel-
ling gone and blood poison checked.
The flesh is off all on one side of
foot around left ankle, so all / got
to do now is to keep off my feet and
grow skin. It's some job and I'll
never use hot water on my feet again
if they never get clean. Algee.

AMERICAN LEGION
To HAVE BIG ST.
PATRCk'S DANCE
SECURE HENTCHELL'S FAMOUS
RAMONA ORCHESTRA AS
MUSIC FOR BIG EVENT

The members of Hugo w. Fales
Post American Legion of this city,
are planning on a big dance which
they will hold in the opera house on
st. Patrick's day, Thursday, March
II as one means of raising money
with which to fit out their new club
rooms over the post Office and which
they plan to open up in the near fu-
ture.
The boys have secured the servi-
ces of Carl Hentclell's famous Ramo-
ma orchestra to furnish music for the
dance and are planning on giving the
people of this community something
extra good in the dance and music
with which to celebrate St. Patrick s
day with The last ,ime the boys
gave a dance here Was on the even
ing of Armistice day, at which time
they also had the services of Hentch
ell's orchestra Those who attended
were so well pleased with the affair
have wanted it repeated, hence the
coming ST. Patrick's dance.
The furniture and other equipment
for the new club room is slow in ar
irving and the opening has been
somewhat delayed, but it will event
ually all get here and the boys are
planning on having big opening.
In the meantime remember how
the boys went away several years ago
in our interests and then go down
in your pocket for the price of a
ticket or two for the dance, whether
you go or not. 1t will help them with
their club rooms.

DEATH RATE IS
MUCH HIGHER IN
RURAL DISTRICTS
STATE HEALTH MAN POINTS
OUT NEED OF GREATER
HEALTH VIGILANCE

Does Michigan hold the lives of
boys and girls living in small towns
and the country as less valuable than
the lives of those who dwell in the
larger Cities"
This is one of the questions raised
by DR.. R. M. Olin, of Lansing, state
commissioned of health, in the an
nual report of the state department
of health for 1920. Declaring that
"the acid test of effective public
control in the death rate" the report
shows that the IL largest cities hav-
ing efficient health administration
were able to hold the number of
deaths from measles in 1920-despite
an unusual prevalence of the disease
to 49 per cent increase over the
preceding year, the increase in deaths
from scarlet fever being Al per cent
greater than in 1919.
Comparing these increases with
the figures for the balance of the
state, which is said to have few
trained health officers and Gin most
cases lax control of these diseases,
according to DR.. Olin, there is found
a 214 per cent increase in deaths
from measles and ~ per cent in
crease in deaths from scarlet fever.
In the same group of cities there
was "a per cent decrease in the
number of deaths from typhoid fever
while throughout the rest of the
state the disease increased per cent
over 1919, representing a difference
of 90 per cent in favor of sanitary
control.
"a preponderance of children in
rural and semi-rural communities
will continue to die from preventable
diseases, says DR.. Olin, until an ad-
equate system of health supervision
is provided for every county in the
state
