FIRE DESTROYS HOME

Al fire occurred Tuesday morning
at the home of Mrs. M. D. Norris If
the northeast part of the city, de-
stroying the house and all Of the con
tents except two trunks. The depart
ment was called at 2:s0 a. M, but
owing to the FIRE getting good start
and the prevailing high wind, it was
unable to cope with the flames.
The origin Of the fire is unknown
and there was only small insurance
on the property.
This is an exceedingly bad season
of the year for q FIRE as there is gen.
orally a good breeze during these
spring months. Everyone should use
exceptional care in preventing any
possibility of blaze starting.
Are you insured against FIRE?
Insure with A. C. Reed and be sure.

WEATHER MADE A
VERY SUDDEN CHANGE

1t was beautiful day Monday, un-
til about six o'clock in the evening,
when the sky became overloaded and
the wind reached dangerous veloe-
ity and the temperature dropped
rather suddenly. At first it had all
the appearance Of q full-fledged
northerner, but by ten o'clock the
clouds had dispersed and the wind
had quoted some, although the air
still carried the cold breath Of frost.
It is feared that damage has been
done to the fruit and early gardens.

MANY TOURISTS THIS SUMMER

If the amount Of correspondence
that is being received by the Secre-
tary of the Chamber Of Commerce
is any indication, this old town will
be literally filled this summer with
tourists from all over the United
States. Every mail brings inquiries
as to road connections and general
summer conditions.
Well, old timer, we have the roads
the connections, and the most favor
able summer road conditions. Since
the completion of the bridge at Lo-
gan, New Mexico, on the Atlantic
Pacific Highway, it puts this road
in good condition from st. Louis, to
Socorra, New Mexico. Also the con-
nection with the D. G. D. from the
south and the Great Plains Highway
from the north give Liberal fine con-
nections and outlets.

preston!

Rainmaker Hatfield is the talk of Italy. They had a five
months drouth over there. Italian government sent an :. Y.
S. for Hatfield, reputed to have made the heavens open and
pour down heavy rains in various parts of our country and
Canada.
Hatfield set up his rigging near Naples. Presto! Comes
young %cloudburst.
1t used to be-rnaybe, still is-a military saying that the
thunder Of cannon precipitates heavy rains.
Albert Stiger, the Austrian, probably had this IN mind
back in 1896 when he invented the small cannon that Is used
to stave off and break up hailstorms.
Prof. d. w. Herring, writing in the Scientific Monthly,
saws he has investigated all kinds of artificial weather con-
troll and that he is convinced Stigers method really works.
The cannon theoretically break up the clouds.
Rainmaker Hatfelds method is kept secret. he was OIL
fered and won $4,000 an inch for making it rain at Medicine
Hat. Alberta. Canada. And now he will bring a big roll back
from Italy.
Scientists of the Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh are ex-
perimenting to prevent fogs. Laboratory results are encour-
aging. so the method will be tried out on rivers.
The method? It's simple. Spray the river s surface with
a chemical that will prevent mists from rising and condenslng
into fogs.
DR.. Herring in his scientific article says that weather con.
troll bv artificial means is not regarded as unsclenhhc, ana that
meteorologists are not hopeless Of accomplishing IT.
c. f. Marvin, of the United States Weather Bureau, steps
in. however, and warns farmers against swindlers in the gulse
of weather wizards. A large crop of these takers IS sprout-
ing up, claiming to make rain, stop rain, prevent frost regu-
late heat and cold and charm the winds.
Some of them may be practicable. But the farmers should
remember that the genuine things always has its counter
feiterS.

NOSE PRINT OF ANIMALS
FOR IDENTIFICATION
Daily Letter by Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22:-Nose
prints of animals as a means of
identifying them are now a subject
of experiment. Since the finger
print of a human being has been
proved a distinctive mark of iden-
tification, speculation has arisen as
to whether a nose print of q COW
or dog would not be equally relia-
BILE.
Nose prints of several hundred
cows have been made at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, with ncour
aging results. Fred Sandberg, u
detective of police headquarters in
this city, made some prints of cows
at the Soldiers Home the other day
and is planning similar tests with
dogs.
Mr.. Sandberg, who is a finger
print expert. explains that he made
his experiment largely through eur
iosity. He was Interested in seeing
how the nose prints would look and
whether any standard patterns
would recur in different animals.
There is a fine herd of Holstein
cows at the Soldiers Home in this
city. and he went there carrying a
tube of finger print ink, a plate of
glass, some paper. and a piece of
cloth.
The ink first was spread over the
glass. The cows wet muzzle was
dried with the cloth, and the linked
glass was quickly rubbed over the
muzzle. Then the glass was handed
to an assistant and a sheet of paper
pressed d~exterously against the
inky muzzle. Nose printing a COW
proved to be an operation requiring
at once patience and speed, espe-
cially speed. The first time that
Sandberg tried the process the COW
rolled out her long tongue and lick
ed off the ink before the paper
could be applied. After hat the
detective worked fast and obtained
a number of clear prints.
The prints are about three by
two inches, and look somewhat like
little pictures of animal skins. They
have the shape of a fiattened skin
curving in at both sides where the
nostrils join the muzzle. The re-
semblance is further carried out by
tho markings which in these par
ticular cows are notified and spotty
like a leopard skin. Some of the
prints have a clear space down r."
middle, while in others there Is ne
symmetry in the pattern.
Family Noses are Similar
1t was found at the University oil
Minnesota that a slight similarity
exists between the prints of cows
belonging to the same family. Ger
tain lines seem to be hereditary. a
fact which might be of Importance
