Elephants on Rampage.

Stories Of how an elephant occasion.
ally upsets a circus are not uncom-
mon, but one rarely hears Of an orgy
Of destruction like that which oc-
Cured in the Malay peninsula. A herd
of wild elephants attacked a railway
station. pulling down the stationmas-
ter's kitchen and bathroom. They did
the same to the clerks quarters and
then tackled the station while the Of
fce force looked on from trees. One
elephant took OFF an automatic weigh
ing machine as souvenir Of the raid,
but finding II heavy. threw It down on
the track. One Of the elephants
trumpeted the recall and they all went
back into the jungle exceps one who
fell in a well and had to be got out BY
human aid, but was not detained.
By the time help arrived after . gen.
eral telegraphic alarm the huge beasts
had entirely disappeared.

Flrswcrks Development

Few Industries have shown more
development within century than
that Of making fireworks. The IRE
works makers have not only made i'm
portant contributions to the art them
selves. but have taken advantage Of
many discoveries and reflnements
made by others In chemistry and me-
chanics.
The colors given to fireworks are
produced by mineral salts, copper be-
ing made to produce green and blue (;
barium, green; sodium, yellow; cal
clum, red, and strontium, crimson.
These salts are arranged In combina-
ton with meal gunpowder and the
recipes for star compositions, rockets,
squibs, roman candles and the like
are almost without number. Among
the "set pieces" are portraits, lettered
designs, fixed suns" fountains, palm
trees, mosaic work and ships.

SPECIALIZE ON CHlNCH BUGS
Particular Reason Why Farmers
Should Act to Protect the Bob
white Quail From Hunters

Every shot fired this season az the
bobwhites that are wintertng in your
fields Is a shot at your pocketbook,
says Farm and Ranch. Ouails de-
stroy millions Of alternating bugs that
would otherwise awake In the spring
to fall hungrily upon the product Of
field and garden.
while you fight the chinch bug,
redoubie your efforts to increase bob
white quails." says A. G. Bur1ll Of
the Missouri College Of Agriculture.
They are said to eat from 500 to
LOCO chinches at q meal, and their
stomachs crave another meal every
two hours. At least, this is the usual
rate Of digestion In most insect eating
birds Quails are the only wild birds
which specialize on chinch bugs In the
winter season"
To protect the bobwhite the most
effective plan Is for several farmers
comparatively to publish a notice In
the county papers forblddlng hunters
to shoot quails on their premises.
This has been done successfully In
several Missouri communities. Many
county papers are running such no
tees properly drawn up by lawyer
and kept standing in the paper
throughout the hunting season. In
such cases the publishers will add the
name Of any farmer in the county and
keep 1t there for, say, 30 cents rr The
season.

Y. M. G. A. NOTES

R R Y M C A Campaign for
six months membership May 1
to October 31st., will take
place the last week in April.
The board of directors are ask
ing for renewal of present
members for six months, COM
mencing May 1, desiring that
all future memberships may ex-
pire Oct. 31st., as an Internal
ional R R Y NJ c Aplan. They
are making special appeal to
the townspeople to assist in
meeting the expense of the
work for boys. The railroad
Company largely supports the
Association in behalf of their
employees and as the Associat-
ion is meeting a real need of
the boys of the town, we can
only expect liberal support
from the people. The small
amount paid for a membership
ticket is only an item when com
pairing it with the cost. Last
year each membership cost the
Y M C A over $40 and sold it
from So to SIS, thus it is neces-
sary for large number of
membership fees from those
who do not wish the privilege,
for you are helping those to
whom you are greatly indebted
the railroad man and the boy.
Baseball, athletics, tennis,
ETC., cost money and we must
look to the participants and all
!. interested to do their share.
The famous Passion Play,
supposed to be held at Ober-
ammergon every ten years, will
be illustrated by use of colored
slides at the Y M C A, Friday,
April Ia. 5p m for all under
Ia years of age and 8 p m for
all over that age. The lecture
is free. The pictures are act
ual photographs of the char
acters and scenes of the most
wonderful performance. The
lecture is written by Mr. W J
Gruenwald, who has lived for
many months in the home Of
Autong Long, who is to repre-
sent Jesus. We ask all the
children as per above age, who
care to see the pictures, to OBJ
serve their hour, as we cannot
admit them in the evening.
Any adults who prefer the af-
ternoon are welcome to come
then, as the space in evening
will be limited.
