To find life easy you must develop
right habits that make life automatic.
Men who develop right attitudes to-

1t is foolish to imagine that you will

without embarrassment is to rise with
the business to where you won't have
to do the physical tasks that require
young shoulders. Let youth hustle

Plant Juice for Elsh Bait.

Late In the dry season. when the
rivers are low In the heart Of Africa.
the Gwari, who inhabit the central
Soudan, set out on prolonged fishing
expeditions. The natives who live on
the banks Of the rivers are proficient
fishermen, taking great pride In their
work, but the village Gwari are not
very sporting In their methods. They
60 out for the final results rather
than for the pleasure of the sport.
They pour the juice of locust tree
pods into the pools, to which the
streams have shrunk, and this causes
the fish to leap out of the water.
Wildly they leap, Hopping out on the
dry river bottom as often as not, but
the excited natives do not wait for the
fish to catch themselves. They lean
over the shallow water, finding great
delight In snatching the leaping fish
as they flash from the river.
This custom of using the Jump
juice seems to have been handed
down from time immemorial among
these strange Africans.

WORLD HEARS NEWS QUICKLY
Was the Only Means Of "Rapid"
Communication.

A few hours after Caruso died the
civilized world knew of it and was in
mourning. A hundred years ago
Napoleon died, on May s, 1S21-and
1t was exactly sixty days before the
world received the news, the New York
Evening Post states.
Though the English were expecting
his death at any moment and had made
every preparation to have word trans
mitted from st. Helena to England
with all possible dispatch, 1t was not
until July 4, that the news reached
London. having been brought there by
the sailing vessel Heron. In accor-
dance with the spirit Of the times,
the message was not given out on the
arrival Of the vessel, but was first con-
veyed to the colonial Office, an act
which required approximately two
hours in itself.
July 4, 1921, fell ON Wednesday.
On Friday, July 9. the news reached
Paris. Messengers were dispatched
from Paris to Germany, where the
newspapers commented on the death
Of General Bonaparte" for the first
time on July II. sixty-eight days after
the event had taken place. And this
notice was in paper published at
Mayence, then virtually q French
town.
The Vossische Zeitung, founded in
1704 and then, as now, the leading
German daily, contained no notice of
Napoleon's death until July IA, and
then 1t merely copied the London
Times. Private individuals living In
the provinces. regardless of their
station in life, received the news much
later. 1t was not conveyed to Goethe,
then living at Weimar, until the very
last Of July. He received it In 4

DRILLING FOR OIL HAS BEG UN

The second step to determine the
oil possibilities in paying quantities in
Thurmont was begun yesterday morn
ing about 10 o'clock when the drill
went into action on the land owned
by the Annie-Laura Oil and Gas Co.
In speaking about the possibilities
of the company, V. P. Kipgen, general
superintendent stated that he thought
the outlook was very promising
He also said that geologists who had
examined the land had discovered ira
ces of oil. If nothing out of the or
binary happens they expect to finish
drilling in thirty days.
Certainly we hope they will strike
oil, and everybody in this section, es-
pecially the landowners, are mildly
