FRUIT PRODUCERS

In this respect, the apple growers
are taking tip from the meat
packers, whose by-product concerns
usually have become so important
that they are recognized as separate
businesses.
Three courses are open to apple
growers; they may make cider, ap-

many have eliminated the latter as
not as practical as the other two.
Leaders in the movement feel that

sions OF Husbands
Will

and 130 acres. The will further pro-
vided that the said Thomas j. Por-
terfield was given option to purchase
the home farm of 100 acres at $40 per
acre.
The contention of the defendant,
Charles Porterfield, one of the six

that the said Priscilla Porterfield did
not carry out the instruction of her
husband, George Porterfeld in MAX
ing her will and that she had no
authority to fix the value of the home
farm at $40 per acre, the defendant
holding that it was worth much more
than $40 per acre.

of Priscilla Porterfield, filed the suit
in the Knox county common pleas

ing for the construction of the will
of the said Priscilla Porterfeld, and

Oidtime Football.

Football may be a rough game, but
II is quite gentle and harmless now
compared to what ii used to be. Way
back in the Eighteenth century when
the sport was in its swaddling clothes,
the type of ball used was not so kind
to the feet of the one who kicked It..
Eighteenth-century footballs were
made of straw which was braided
until long rope was obtained. This
was then wound and coiled into the
shape desired. The finishing touch
was to knock 1t around in water until
it became hard and unyielding.
When the leather ball finally re-
placed the old straw model, it was
stuffed with horse hair until it be-
came hard and solid. The leather ball
was at first scOffed at by the old
timers who had played the game when
straw balls were In vogue. Even when
stuffed with hair the leather ball was
regarded as a toy for weaklings who
were afraid of injuring their feet.
The parents Of That age had more
cause to complain about the roughness
of the game than have those of today
whose sons kick inflated pigskin in.
stead Of solid balls of straw.

At the end of a week the neighbors

to the young dentists fond father that
a man should be of a mechanical turn

Antelope to Be Cared For.

The antelope, noted for its color
ing, delicate proportions and zephyr
like movements, is threatened with
extinction unless some measures are
taken at once to give it some prOtec-
ton. There are said to be 1900 in
the United States, and $50 Of these
are in the Yellowstone park. In 1908
there were 1000 in the park alone.
Agitation on behalf of the antelope
has been started by the members OF
the American Bison society, which
has done so much for the buffalo
The winter range in the Yellowstone
park is not nearly adequate for the
antelope alone and 1t is necessary TO
share it with other animals. 1t is
proposed to enlarge this winter range
and also to provide similar ranges in
California, Oregon, Utah, Nevada
Wyoming and Idaho, and also to with
draw from public use certain parts
of the Yellowstone where the animals
cOngregate. The antelope herd in
this country suffered last year from
exposure and from the depredations
of predatory animals.

Along the bank of a stream is spread

Although the eggs are hatched by

watches the nest carefully. AS soon

Measure Your Figure.

: A Brazilian art scholar claims to
have discovered how the old masters
of painting and sculpture worked. He
has taken the pictures and shown, by
drawing lines and angles on them, how
the artists gave their compositions
strictly mathematical foundations.
Ancient Egyptian artists had a rule
of proportions based on the length of
the middle finger, the distance of which
was contained nineteen times In the
length of the whole body.
Greek artists adopted these proper
tlons until it was established that the
face must be q tenth part and the head
an eighth part of the total height of
the body. The face was divided into
three equal parts-from the roots of
the hair to the root Of the nose; from
the root of the nose to its point, and
from the end of the nose to the chin.
