TANGLED UP BY PHONE CALL
Colonel Gives Remarkable Denoue-
ment to His Story That Was
Interrupted by the Chief.

The colonel had only two types OF
stories. one concerning his amorous
adventures, the other his adventures
while tiger shooting. 1t was night In
the mess and the colonel. as was his
wont, began to tell an exciting story
Of an encounter with wounded
tigress which sprang at him before he
could reload and bore him to the
ground. AT the critical moment an
orderly entered to report that the @
o. c. wished to speak to the colonel
on the telephone and the colonel was
compelled to break Off abruptly.
He was absent for ten minutes and
on his return had forgotten which of
his favorite stories he had been tell

one of the guests. "You were telling
Us of your dangerous situation"

ANIMALS REST VARIOUS WAYS
Aged Dogs, Horses and Elephants Rest
While Standing up-SIoth
Slumbers Upside Down.

Every kind of position is used for
sleeping In the animal world.
The ordinary man sleeps either on
his right or his left side, with his
knees drawn up. When, however, he
has endured extreme fatigue or pro-
longed pain man may sleep in all
sorts of positions. Men have been OBJ
served to sleep when standing or walk
ing, when swimming the channel, or
driving horse. or even when bound
to the stake.
Some animals, too. are able to sleep
while standing. A dog, especially when
old. may do so occasionally; horse
often does, while an elephant never
lies down to sleep.
Long-legged birds, such as storks
and gulls, have been observed to sleep
balanced on one leg. Most birds, how.
ever, sleep with their heads turned

his success to plenty Of good feed and

Winter Cover Crop Will

A winter cover crop protects the
land from washing during the winter
months, and at the same time con-

available during this period. Soil
which remains bare during the winter
loses much valuable plant food by

Storing Vegetables for

1t is to the interest Of every family
to grow each season supply of those
vegetables suitable for storage, and to
see that they are properly stored for
use during the winter months when
prices are high and vegetables often
hard to get. Less work and less ex-
pense are involved in storing vege-
tables. than in keeping them by other
methods, as canning, drying, and pre-
serving, and the product retains Its

Silage corn should be- allowed to
grow as late as the season permits, or
until the corn is practically matured,

green as late as this stage. Many ex-

a definite set Of war plans.
Description Unnecessary
1t is sufficient to say the United

tempting to describe them The reader
will understand why.
Peacetime preparation Of war plans
is entirely new in this country. Other
nations have been doing it for years,
and now. with modern airplanes and

formerly constituted our natural
barriers, quick action is necessary.
The matters that come before the
general staff show clearly war has be-
come an economic as well as military
struggle. It's first duty is to consider
as much information as is available
about other nations and its second is
to reason out what these nations
would probably do in case of war.
Knowing your enemy and anticipat
ing his moves is half the battle.
Economic Data Necessary
Naturally. military information
comes first, but there are many other
subjects to be covered. For instance,
a general staff must have economl,
