BIRD is FAST ON ITS FEETI
California Roadrunner Famous for its
Custom Of Sprintino In Front Of
Trottino Horses.

A bird known as the California road.
runner has earned his common name
from his delight in sprinting along
roadways. especially when pursued by
horsemen or moderately slow-going
vehicles. In the picturesque old days
Of California it was no uncommon
sight to see this bird running half
mile or SO In front of fast-trotting
horses.
Another common name. chaparral-
cock, is given in allusion to his living
in the chaparral of the semi-deserts.
The bird belongs wholly to the
West. Formerly he ranged from the
plains Of Kansas to the chapparal-
covered hills of the Pacific coast and
from central California to Mexico, but
he is rapidly becoming rare. He is
built like heron. except for his short
legs, but, unlike that water-loving
bird, chooses deserts for his home. He
has wings. bu. scarcely has the power
to fly, though he is one Of the fieetest
Of runners.

PLAN TO CONTROL WEATHER
Scientists, but Nothing Practical
Has Been Evolved.

Three or four years ago Sheffield
(Eng.) workingman claimed to be put
ting the finishing touches to an instru-
ment to enable him ito focus beams of
ether oscillation" and so control the
weather. Unfortunately, the instru.
ment could not have been so perfect
as he thought, for nothing further has
been heard Of It. Before that Leeds
scientist had come to the conclusion
that it was "within the scope Of hu.
man possibility to prevent disastrous
cyclones, hurricanes and storms. and
even to improve permanently the
weather of the British isles" Tho
idea was the production of an instru-
ment enabling the operator to collect
or dissemble the molecules which form
the atmosphere, securing the degree
of density desired and so arranging
the best weather required for any dis.
trict or seasonal occupation. More
than twelve years ago Sir oliver Lodge
demonstrated that fog could be dis
PEELED by electricity, though the
process was too costly for adoption
generally.

COAL OF VEGETABLE ORIGIN
Abundant Proof That Huge Forests,
In Former Epochs Of the Earth,
Became Petrifed.

Although in most instances there
are comparatively few traces Of its
vegetable origin left, coal owes its ex-
istence to the vast masses of vegeta-
BILE matter deposited through the lux
uriant growth of plants in former
epochs of the earth's history. and
since slowly converted into a petrified
state.
Coal fields today present abundant
Indications of the existence of huge
ancient forests, usually in the form
Of coal formed from the roots Of trees.
Several such forests have been uncov.
cred, one of which In Nova Scotia is
a good example. Remains Of trees
have been found there, six to eight
feet in height and four feet in diam
eter. In colliery in England, In q
space Of about one-quarter Of an acre
there have been found the fossilized
stumps Of 73 trees, with roots at.
tached, and broken-off trunks lying
about, one Of them 80 feet long, and
all Of them turned into coal.

STATE MILL IN OPERATION

Grand Forks, N. D.-When Governor
r. A. Nestos pressed the button which
started the machinery at the state mill
and elevator, over mile away, on the
outskirts of Grand Forks, he put in
motion one of the three -four grinding
units at the state mill. There are two
other units which are not yet COM
pletely assembled, although most OF
the machinery for these other units Is
Installed.
Each of the three units ls capable
of grinding 1000 barrels Of -four
day, or 5000 barrels day all told.
Two of these units are made for grind
ing North Dakota's hard spring wheat
into first patent flour. The third unit
is exclusively for grinding durum
wheat into seminola flour, out of which
is manufactured macaroni, spaghetti,
and other seminola products.
Each of these units is distinct and
separate mill in itself, SO far as op-
GRAFTON is concerned, although all are
housed under the same roof. Each has
its own big electric generator, and Its
own separate electric system. All ma
chinery is electrically driven. The mill
has its own power plant, and Is also
connected with the city power plant OF
Grand Forks, so that in case Of break
down in the mill power plant, power
can be secured from the Grand Forks
plant.
The plant is planned for efficient
operation, therefore, at full capacity
of 5000 barrels day, at 1900 bar
rels a day, or at 1000 barrels day.
1t can grind 1900 barrels day OF
hard spring wheat and 1000 barrels
day Of durum.

BOARD
HITS Grain Law
Injunction Asked to Test Con.
stituttonaIity Of New Grain
Futures Act.
NOV. FIRST
Board Claims Trade ls state and Not
lnterstate-suit Was Anticipated
by U, s.-Ready for Court
Action.

Chicago-The Chicago Board OF
Trade made its first move to test the
constitutionality Of the grain futures
act when it filed in federal district
court here a petition for injunction
restraining the government from en-
forcing the provisions of the act.
The law, enacted to take the place
of the former Capper-Tincher act,
which was declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court, was passed to be-
come effective November 1.
Hold Trade Wholly State.
The bill of complaint, filed by Henry
S. Robbins, counsel for the board,
charges that the law seeks to regulnte
as interstate commerce trade that Is
wholly state; that it interferes with
state rights to govern exchanges, and
that it seeks to deprive board menl-
bers of their property by admitting
representatives Of cooperative bodies
and permitting them to rebate COM
missions in violation Of rules observed
by other members.
Further charges Of unconstitutional
ity are made on the ground that the
law makes violations Of its provisions
crime-"and constitutes the secre-
tary Of agriculture, the secretary OF
commerce, and the attorney general,
commission with power to deprive
offenders of their rights to thereafter
pursue a lawful avocation; whereas.
such criminal laws are, under the con-
stitution. enforceable only in courts.

Other Parts Held Unsound.

Of control to the secretary Of agricul'
ture, who is given authority to desig'
nate what exchanges shall or shall moi

Fear of what might result from tht

plant says, may bring on "a seriou.

ORNAMENT FOR B0BBED HAIR
Feather Band Now Used to Decorate
MIladys Looks-May Be Worn
High or Low.

Feathers, which claim the utmost
attention in fans. are trying for equal
prominence as hair ornaments. They
appear in the loveliest hair bands,
some Of which tower to great heights.
while others are worn low on the head,
the plumage either shooting upward
from the middle of the brow or falling
over the ears.
Blue glycerined ostrich placed at
the sides of blue velvet band studded
with rhinestones droops gracefully over
either ear. Another model consists
Of narrow rhinestone band with

or bandeaux which are made expressly
for her. A particularly appealing or.
nament is made Of silver wire and
rhinestones, and resembles a horse
shoe. The hair is combed straight
back and then drawn through the or.
nament, which is placed at the back
Of the head in an upright position with
the rounded part at the top.
Still another arrangement for bobbed
hair is to catch 1t up under a band,
the front of which consists of silver
wire with connecting bars and the
back of flowers.

Monkey Reasons.

1t used to be thought that beasts
and birds were guided in their action
entirely by instinct, reason playing no
part whatever in their daily lives. But
now naturalists are not so sure. To
learn to use q lever as mechanical
instrument implies, one would think,
q certain amount of reasoning power.
Yet monkey kept in captivity en-
ployed stick to pry up the lid of a
chest which was otherwise too heavy
for the animal to raise.
