II is d,flicult to put an exact valu-

often been laid down is as follows:
To find the value Of 100 pounds OF
skim milk when fed alone, multiply
the market price OF live hogs in cents

tion with corn or barley, multiply by

The Unwanted Woman.

Men don't feel the tragedy of being
unwanted as much as women do And
somehow, some time, somewhere. a
man Is always wanted. But many a
woman trails through life with no
particular claim upon anyone, and
what is much worse, with no one hav-
ing any claim upon her. A woman
doesn't want to be taken out to sup
per so much as she needs TO feel that
upon her shoulders lies the onus OF
providing supper for someone else.
When she is young and her skin is
fresh and smooth she feels certain
that life holds for her all she de-
mands; II is only when the first
wrinkles come that she realizes with
a sudden shock of horror that she has,
ut best, only one or two more dips in
the lucky bag. And once she has be-
gun to feel old, she grows old so

Grades for British Apples.

The British apple growers hnpe
recently been devotlng considerable
attention to the establishment Of
grades for their product and much
progress has been made In this de-
velopment The chief reason for the
movement is the desire to place on the
large British markets an apple grown
in England which will compare
favorably in price with the best Amer
lean and Australasan product. II
has often been stated in England that
the MISUNDERSTANDING of the American
apple is entirely due to the fact that
1t is correctly graded and packed
There is no large supply of British
apples which could be closely graded
for market. The British growers
generally have not paid much aften-
ton to market requirements In ths
selection Of their trees nor to TIE
care and cultivation of orchards.

BUT HE GOT DATES MIXED
And SO a Willy, interruptions Rus-
, sian Bachelor Was Forced to
"klII Of" His Family.

Necessity has sharpened the wits
of the Russians and they discover
most ingenious devices to profit at the
expense of the government.
A shrewd physician In PetrOgrad,
who was bachelor with a hearty ap-
petite and small income, induced the
president of the house committee
where he resided to give him a GER
tificate saying he was married. In
this way he procured a double ration.
Soon his imaginary wife fell i'll and
he got a milk card on the strength
Of 1t. Later baby came to bless
this fictitious union, and he was en-
titled to additional delicacies as a re-
suit. Unfortunately, he got his dates
mixed up and announced the arrival
Of three children inside of six
months.
An investigation WIS started, upon
which an epidemic broke out in his
family, which carried away, inside OF
two days, his wife. two daughters and
little boy.
1t was a dreadful massacre on pa
per. But It saved the physician, who
got off undetected-J. Kessel In LIE

Story Of Famous Old Timer

An esteemed correspondent recaas
two little stories Of that eminent Ohio
an, Gov. David Tod, who among Ids
other official distinctions, numbered
that of minister to Brazil appointed
by President Polk and holding the o.
fee five years.
When 1t was noised about among
the future governors old friends and
acquaintances that he had been made
minister to Brazil, one of them
drawled: "Wal, all got to say is that
Dave'll make q sheol of q minister !"
When Minister Tod officially inter-
viewed Don Pedro II In Rio Janeiro,
he said to his interpreter: Tell the
emperor that If he will hurry up the
carrying out of that request l made

best Brier Hill coal my people can

Bio Price for a Flower.

Ten thousand dollars is an extraor-
binary price for single plant; yet
it was paid by English horticulturists
for an orchid raised in the United
States, the Catteleyaggas alba. This
Catteleya was lowered in 1910, and ex-
hibited at an orchid show in the
United States, where it was awarded
a gold medal. The plant was found
In 1909 In lot Of other specimens Of
Catteleya gigas. 1t was only by chance
that the plant was not sold for a dol
lar or two. The only reason was that
after most Of it's companions had been
disposed Of this one, with seine others
that were not in very good condition,
was set aside. Finally, all the speci-
mems were pOtted. To the great sur
prise Of the horticulturists when, next
spring, the plant came up 1t was with
pure white flowers. The plant was
sold in London for perhaps the highest
figures that an orchid ever brought.

TOLD OF KlTCHENEA'S DEATH?

that Lord Kitchener was interested In

eddy not only interested. but be-
lever in it:
Count Hamon, better known al
Cheiro, told me story which to the
incredulous may only appear as coinci-
dence, but cannot fail to be interest
ing.
Count Hamon was a friend OF
kitchener's, and In reading his horo-
scope had, apparently. always told him
that his death would be q sudden one.
but that he need not anticipate danger
In the field Of battle. Just before Lord.
K. went abroad. Count II. went to the
war ofnee, and K. showed him little
blue vase, which he had once given
him as a mascot, and told him that he
always kept 1t on the table. He asked
Count II. IL there was anything he
could do for him before he left the
country. The count replied In the mega
tive, but X. told him there was one
thing he would do-if anything hap
pened to him he would give him a sign.
At the very hour the Hampshire went
down. Count Hamon was In the music
room of his house in the country, at one
end of which was large hatchment
securely nailed to the wall. For No
reason at all 1t fell with a crash, ana
might have been cleft In two by an az.
Count Hamon guessed instantly that
something had happened to Lord
Kitchener, and that this must be the
promised sign"

WRITING ALMOST A LOST ART
Typewriter Has Practically Put the
Pen Out Of Business, With
Some Unfortunate Results.

Who remembers the old days when
men of commerce and industry wrote
a good business hand"-when hand
writing was one of the accomplish
ments and letters written In ink could
he read with small effort? asks the
Nations Business. Handwriting has
gone out of style because it gave way
to something infinitely better. 1t was
the old story. Hand work could not
compete with machine wQrk-the pen
could not compete with the type
writer.
But we view with sorrow the fact
that the decline and fall of hand-writ-
ing has also meant the decline and
fall of the business signature. You
pick up the ordinary business letter
these days, and while the body of
the communication stands forth in
clean-cut Typography, you are lucky
if you can make out the signature.
Unless you know who wrote it, the
name may be anything from "Blatz'
to "JOnes." Some Of them appear to
be perfect; they are made up of regu-
lar. sharp saw teeth, but when you
try to decode them you can't tell the
GUS from the ms" or the "is" from
the It's" Others confuse and dazzle
you with scrolls and flOurishes. And
still another type is just plain awful.
Plainly something should be done
about it. Maybe congress could be in
duced to pass a law making it COM
pulsOry for every letter to have the
name of the signer typewrittens in the
near neighborhOod Of the signature.
