TLATiRONS ARE DEADLY
 WEAPONS, JUDGE SAYS

ATLANTA, Ga, July 19.-Flatirons are deadly weapons capable of pro ducing death.
 Judge E. T. Shurley so held in Full ton Superior Court here when he told Lon Kinneybrew, negro, that he could serve five years in the penitentiary for hitting his wife in the head with one.
 When Kinneybrew stepped up tc plead guilty to assault with intent to murder, his wife was at his side.
 q guess you want this man to be let off, don't you?" Judge Shurley asked the woman.
 q don't know, Judge; he said he was going to kill me if he got out! she replied.
 "Then I'll separate you for while You can go to the penitentiary for a minimum of five years" the court told Kinneybrew.

in the shade until the time comes to take their bleaters back to the range
 The Wyoming clip has been under the supervision of Dr. John Hill, wool specialist, of the University of Wyoming, who submits an analysis of the quality, shrinkage and dirt or grease content of each separate clip. Based on Dr. Hills report, the sheep owners make their prices for the various grades of wool
 And the old herders gaze in amazement at this modern manner of selling wool remembering, with a trace of tears in their eyes, the days when their clip was sold over some popular bar, and the boys in camp were "cut in" on the drinks and cigars. .u
 "Volstead sure did raise hell with the sheepheardgss!" is the frequent exclamation.

JOKE ABOUT SWISS NAVY
 MAY SOON BE OBSOLETE

GENEVA, Switzerland, July 19. - The joke about the Swiss Navy" may become obsolete if plans which eagi- neers are now drawing up materialize'.
 A group of engineers have a plan for linking up the Rhone and the Rhine rivers by canal, and thereby making navigation to Geneva possible.
 The proposed plan would provide for the building of a canal, which would run under the city of Geneva. Ships of large tonnage would thus sail under this Swiss city, navigation would be opened to the center of Switzerland and Swiss Navy might be possibility.

PRICES SOAR ON WYOMING
 WOOL CLIP

CASPER, Wyo., July 19. - The passing of the old-time sheep shear CT, whose itinerary followed the sea sons from the Mexican border to the Canadian line in the Western States, was revealed here during one of the greatest wool sales ever conducted in Natrona County, Wyoming.
 The phenomenal rise this year in the price of Wyoming wool has brought with it a college education to the erstwhile happy -go-l lucky sheep business and tons of statis- tics and reports for the edification of the once genial sheepherder.
 Last spring better grade wool brought an average of eleven cents a pound; this season similar grades are selling for forty cents a pound.
 Agricultural experts said the na- tion faces g. wool and mutton short age, and Eastern buyers are hurry ing to the Wyoming market to se- cure their supply.
 In the old days, when spring was far on the way and the green range was dotted with ewes and fat lambs, the range man mooved his flock into "blade" plant, where shearers ripped fleeces swiftly from the sheep. Many of these shearers gained fame for their speed, and at times thou sands of dollars were wagered on sheep-shearing races.
 And while the shearing was in progress the owner and the wool buyer adjourned to shady nook, and the wool was sold. No thought of various breeds, shrinkage and other bothersome items. It was worth from ten to fifteen cents a pound, and wool was just wool.
 This year the greater portion of the Central Wyoming clip, amount ing to several million pounds, has been collected in giant pools" The herds are sheared in great, airy clean sheds, where careful workers take off the wool, Boys carefully gather and tie up the snow-white fleeces. Stray particles fall upon hardwood floors fit for bathrooms. Checkers carefully weigh and tabu- late the grade. Old-time herders sit

CLING TO OLD SUPERSTITlONS
Hard to Make Civilized indians Give
Up Their Beliefs in Magic
Soul Transmgration.

Civilized Indians are very reluctant
to give up their belief in magic. The
idea of wOrshiping objects is quite a
settled one among the tribes. and
some stories which connect corn and
flowers with beneficent deities are very
pleasing and attractive.
Animals, too, are spoken Of in
very singular and superstitious man
ner and the different sizes of the
beasts which are hunted is accounted
for in a story of the creation, which
has many variations, but always
agrees that at the time of the creation
all of the beasts clamOred for priority
II size.
Each was vain and dictatorial, and
one after another was humbled by be-
ing made smaller than hated enemy,
the idea being that everything human
and otherwise that was born had a
prior existence and came into the
world with the benefit of the expert
ence thus derived.
Indians in many tribes believe In the
doctrine Of transmigration of souls,
by which is meant that they believe
souls, after the death of the bodies
of animals that they have inhabited,
pass into the bodies of others.-De-

BIGGEST THING IN SCOUTING

General Leroy Il. Steward of Chica-

the scout movement, and stanch be-
lever in all scouting stands for In a
recent interview he said:
"rhe boy is the man Of tomorrow,
our coming citizen, with his RESPONSE
bilities and definite place in the world.
You can't fool him, but you can do
wonderful things with the right sort of
leadership, The spirit of scouting Is
bigger even than its first-aid and out
door craft. Getting an active, growing
eating, noisy boy to be thoughtful and
do good turn daily, to want to be
helpful TO others, to obey its oath and
law-thats the biggest thing in scout
Ing and. indeed. in life."
Speaking of his own interest in
scouting, the general said:
"Pve spent over forty years of my
life In various forms of public service
the army, the police department, the
pOstoffice, the boy scouts and so forth
and am convinced that nowhere can
so much real good be done as with our
boys. Scouting Is the one thing l ex-
pect to give my time to for the rest of
my life; to help to build boys into good
citizens. Can you, or any other grown
up, find greater opportunity, more
genuine service to be rendered than Is
within the reach of all of yOu?"
