PROOF OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP
Man Than the Sacrifice That
10 Here Recorded

There are various ways Of evidenc-
ing true friendship. Sorrow and suf-
fering bring out the best in others, but
1t Is our habit to be sympathetic and
not always does 1t prove that sympa-
thy and friendship are akin. When
man will lend you money without COL
lateral he is indeed friend.
But we find our true friends in 9TH
er ways. The other day we were In
hurry and we needed hair cut. So
we beat it into our favorite barber
shop to find our favorite barber busy,
and a man ahead of us.
We we're about to depart without the
trim we sorely needed, when the man
ahead Of us spoke up:
you always have the same barber.
don't your"
YEP" we replied.
"Well, I'm next for his chair, but
I'm in no hurry. You just 60 ahead
and take my turn. I'll wait"
There was friendship for you, and as
we thanked him for his kindness we
couldn't help remarking:
"Greater love hath no man than
this, that he will give up his place In a
barber shop for another. "-Exchange.

SPIDER REALLY HAS BRAINS
Is Possessed Of Degree Of Intelligence
That Has Been Recognized by
Scientists.

Spiders are commonly spoken Of as
insects, but they aren't. They belong
to a very different order Of animals,
being "arachnids."
They get this name, by the way,
from a neurological maiden named
Arachne, who was so proud of her
weaving that she challenged Minerva
to trial Of skill. The goddess &C.
cepted the challenge, but finding her
self in danger of defeat, lost her tenn
per, struck her presumptuous rival and
turned her into spider
The spider Is incotnparnbly more
intelligent than any insect, and its
cleverfless as a maker Of nets obtain
ed for 1t a well-warranted admiration.
1t is the female that does this work.
the male being only fraction of her
size and Of no account except for con-
tinuing the species.
A spider has what may be called a
recognizable brain. But so, for the
matter Of that, has caterpillar,
though less well developed. The nerv-
GUS system Of the latter is mere string
with knots Of nerve stuff (ganglia) at
intervals along 1t.

fine After the raising, remarks
were made by Supt. S. S. Scammon,
o. w. Foss, A. B. Crabtree and 9TH

WITHOUT NAILS OR RIVETS
New Scientific Method Of Shipbuilding
Seen in Construction of Vessel
at Liverpool.

Can you imagine a ship without
nail or rivet in all its hull? DO you
recolect the visit to the shipyards and
the army of men mailing huge tilnbers
to the skeleton frame of ship? And,
over in the next yard. the swarm of
men hammering the white hot rivets
in the great plates of battle snip?
Ones imagination is stretched consld-
erably to conjure a method by which
all these workmen may have their
toll reduced or eliminated. Yet this
is today's development in the science
of shipbuilding. The steamship Fulla-
gar has just slid down the Liverpool
ways without a nail or a rivet in its
hull. From stem to stern the plates
are electrically welded. The Fullagar
is an oil driven cargo steamer of 800
tons. She is now undergoing final
tests. Experts declare that she will
not only stand all the tests required,
but her success as an ocean carrier
will revolutionize shipping. We may
now calculate what boon the cleo
trical welding process will be if great
armies of men have to be transported
on the bridge across the seas" Not
only does this method release man
power for other tasks, but it enables
shipyards to turn out mighty steel
ships within short space of time.

COULD USE TOMATO SEEDS
Department Of Agriculture Points Out
How They May Be Made

ture.
Department investigators have found
that more than one thousand tons OF
seed are thrown away annually in
northern tomato-pulping plants, with
large enough output Of seed to pay for
shipping, and that they may be made
into edible Oil and stock food worth
about $4,000 December, 1919. Cost
of collecting and preparing the seed
is estimated at about $35, 600, including
all proper charges and the cost Of the
necessary equipment is given at not
to exceed $4,000.
In addition the same plant, which
would run not more than five months
In the year, could be used for the han
ding of grape seeds and pumpkin
seeds, which would distribute the over
head and cut down the cost Of manu-
facture of the tomato-seed products.

Col Ezra b. Fuller, the author of a
riding anthology" has himself a
notable achievement of endurance and
Craftsmanship to his credit. During
the Nez Perces campaign of 1877 Full
Ter, then second lieutenant Of the Sew
enth cavalry. stationed on the north
bank of the Yellowstone river, near
Miles City, was ordered by General
Miles to take five troopers with him
and carry dispatches to General Sher-
man at Fort Ellis, Mont Much of the
trip had to be made running along
side of the horses, owing to the noun
famous character of the country trav-
ersed and the almost impossible con-
ditiOn of the trails. The total dis
lance covered was over $50 miles,
which was made in four days and
nineteen hours. without changing
mounts.

Hindu Barber Man of Parts.

Now that the price for haircutting
has risen, which means that possibly
the barber will not be so busy in the.
future, perhaps we shall find him even.
tually emulating the Hindu haircutter.
The latter Is an individual of i'm
mense Importance in India, and as hts
duties are many, he is in constant de-
mand. At birth the Hindu barber
Is the ivan employed to carry the
eventful news to the various family
relatives, while at funeral he shaves
the heads Of the living--and the dead.
The Hindu haircutter has no shop,
and. unlike our BARRIERS. he displays
no poles, signs or symbols He can
be seen strolling along near the ba-
zaars, with small bundle under his
arm or carrying little bag. At all re-
ligious rites he Is to be observed; he
bores the girls ears and noses for the
various rings which are worn; and, in
fact, the busy Hindu barber will I'M
dertake almost any surgical operation.
Besides births and deaths, he at
tends marriages. At wedding we are
told, this busy barber is best man."
The touch Of this handy man, by
the way, Is exceptionally light. and
1t Is said that he can shave his Gus
toners while they sleep.

CROWS WINTER IN OKLAHOMA
Farmers OF the State Refer to Birds
Annual Migration as Most Un-
desirable Visitation.

Oklahoma is the crows Palm Beach.
flock thither to spend the winter, be-
cause the climate is mild and the food
supply plentiful Arriving in the fall,
they are in time to join in the gather
ing of the crops.
The numbers in which they assem-
BILE are described as unbelievable. In
one roost, six miles west of Guthrie,
on Gar creek, there are more than
100000. Trees, in late evening, when
they have gone to bed, are black with
them, the branches burdened from top
to bottom. Across the border, in Kan
sas, on Shoe Fly creek, is another
great crow town.
They gobble the pecans, the pea
nuts, the cotton, the maize, and even
the watermelons. One farmer had Is
acres of kafir corn curing in the shock,
and the crows ate it all in three days.
Burrowng into the shocks, they got
every seed.
They eat little chickens and hens
eggs; they rob birds nests and kill
the young; they devour young rabbits,
and they have almost eXterminated
the quail, breaking up the nests.
Oklahoma complains that 1t Is
obliged to board, In late fall and win
ter, all the crows which in the sum-
mer time are residents of nearby
states. 1t is an expensive business.
One thousand crows, it is estimated,
eat bushel Of grain per day, or the
equivalent.
When autumn arrives, they come
flying In companies and regiments,
converging from the north and east.
Oklahoma has plenty of timber, which,
affording roosting opportunities, doubt
less helps 70 attract them. Their
nests are built of twigs, lined with
