by JOnn L. MeQDufy.
T OTIS Of bathers are using
automobile tires to help
A them in SWIMMING. This is
all right provided they don't get
q puncture in the middle of the
ocean.
Nobody wants to drown in the
water, but you can't always post
pone IL until you get to shore.
Using tubes is great sport, but
you're bound to have lots Of tire
trouble You can't very well get
out and jack yourself up while
you vulcanize it.
OF course you could strap q
couple of spare tires on your back,
but If you carried all the neces-
sary tools to change them with,
they'd be so heavy you'd sink.
One guy used an automobile
tire for a float, but he forgot to
take it off the rim.
He forgot where he was and
swan seventeen miles looking for
o garage.
Finally he got the rim off the
tire and IL was too heavy for his
back, SO he carried it under his
arm.
Another guy hadn't been swim.
ming half an hour before he got
q blowout. He cut the tire on a
piece Of glass. He didn't expect
60 find glass on the ocean, but
he swan too near the three-mile
limit.
This tire idea has become such
great sport that the A. A. A.
(American Aquatic Association
has given water maps to its mem
'bers.
These maps are printed on oil
cloth and show all the detours In
the ocean.
Traffic Is so heavy in some
parts Of the ocean that even the
nah have put up signs. School
Go Slow"
Some men put a tire around
each one Of the kids and in this
way they can take the whole
family with them.
It's nothing any more to see q
man swimming along with five or
six children tied to him.
One guy was so absent-rainded
that he put a tail light and H.
eense plate on the end kid.
He wasn't 50 particular about
ether ones; he just put parking
lamps on them.
Nowadays when you ask a
man If he's married he'll say,
"sure. I've got a wife and three
trailers."

ROME, March 1.-The Fascist government needs 100000 muskets to keep all the rascals in their places" said Premier Mussolini to delega- tion of the Italian Arditi, or Dare devils" es they are sometimes called in 3 recent address.
 T am counting on all the ex-serv- ice men. and therefore, on the Ar diti, who have been our best fight CTS" continued the Premier. T am sure almost all of you will join the voluntary militia. We need the regu- lar army to be prepaAed fdr the de- fense of the nation. for this Is it's purpose: We need police force in order to protect ourselves against law breakers. The Fascist govern ment also has need of 100000 musk cts to keep all the rascals in their places.
 "I hore., therefore" continued the Fascist chief, ito see you in the front rank of the Fascist leEions which are a magnificent reserve of courage, of power and of faith, and on which not only the government but the whole nation can surely count. thank you, and beg you to consider me. as head of the gov. ernment. a daredevil who does not stop before any obstacle. and over comes all obstacles If 1t be necessary and required by the supreme inter- ests of the nation"

INDEPENDENT ARTISTS SHOW. 500 PICTURES

PARIS, March 1.-The high cost of living has not discouraged young artists, says Paul Signac, president of the society of independent artists, whose thirty-fourth annual exposi- tion opened recently.
 Here are represented 1910 artists who exhibit nearly 5000 works in the huge galleries of the Grand Pa able to pay the fee of 50 francs for hanging his picture.
 No prizes are offered to exhibitors, nor is there any jury to pass on pictures. All corners may hang their creations. The spirit of fairness goes to the extent of arranging the pie lures without respect to light. They are hung in the alphabetical order of their makers names. Nor is na- tionality considered. Fully one third of the exhibitors are foreigners.
 While President Sgnac affirmed that the exhibition showed the trend of art.~baclt to normal colors and old <t forms, this statement was hardly borne out by the paintings sfown. There were cubic houses. cubic trees, cubic people and cubic carpets, other cubic things that vis- itors could not indentify.
 The striking point of the exhibi- tion to the casual art critic appeared to be it's liberty of expression, in- volving all the art forms known and applied for the past 10 centuries Many of the paintings were done in dark colors, and looked for all the world like old masters

GLASGOW DISCOVERS NEW ALCOHOLIC DRINK

GLASGOW, March 1.-The high cost of whisky in these hard re- construction times, caused partly by the heavy demand for their national beverage in the Bahamas and points west, is forcing Scotch drinkers into the anomalous necessity of resortinG to cheap substitute made of me thylated spirits, known to the local trade as finish"
 police report just issued says several persons have been reduced to human wrccks in a very short time by indulgence in this dope. soores/ of even mild drinkers have been found completely incapacitated from the effects of it.
 Hardened drinkers have found a most satisfying "wollop" in the new concoction, but for the ordinary temperate -drinker it's effects have proved far too deadly to recommend it as an agreeable tipple.
 However, in order to preserve a moderate kick" in their beverage at a minimum cost, Scotchmen have be- gun to form the habit of mixing finish" with red Spanish wine. But even this mixture, If used too freely. is likely to have paralyzing results.

speaking OF Orchard Conditions

Speaking of orchard conditions. in
Maine, with special reference to the
backward spring. A. X. Gardner, crop
specialist of the college of agricul-
ture extension service, says that the
period between the time for applying
the delayed dormant spray and the
time for the pre-pink spray or dust
may be relatively short, and. that
there may be tendency among or
chardists to omit one OF the three
early formulas mentioned in the spray
and dust schedule recently published.
He advises that In case 1t Is found
impossible to apply the three form
ulas, the first, or delayed dormant
spray, had best be omitted on var
ieties of trees that are inclined to
scab.s varieties that do not seab to
any noticeable extent. the pre-pink
spray or dust application may be
omitted.
II frequent showers or rains follow
the pre-pink application, the pink
spray or dust should be applied to
scabby varieties of trees, even IL the
application is only three or four days
after the pre-pink. For varieties
that do not show q tendency to scab,
1T will be we'll to- put on the pink
spray or dust. as we'll as the cahx.
as there will be many eating insects
at work at that time.

Mr.. Moore came here four years ago
this month from New Brunswick and
bought the Poynton farm on the river
road. He has left with us an inter-
esting story of "Ayrshires on their Ma
tive Heath" which gives in detail a
visit to the farm of Thomas Barr, one
OF Scotlands leading Ayrshire breed
ers. The entire article, which was
written by Hon. Duncan Marshall,
commissioner of agriculture. ottawa
would doubtless be read with much
interest by many Somerset County
farmers who are interested in the Ary-
shire proposition. It contains refer
ence to the show bun Husbands
Masterpiece, referred to in Mr.. Moore's
description of his herd. The article
follows herewith:
Driving down from Kilmarnock to
Monkton evidences were to be found,
ON all sides, that we were in the world
famous district of Ayrshire. Almost
every pasture field attested to the fact,
with its group Of classy looking Ayr
shire cows.
As a breeder of live stock the Scots
man has never neglected appearance.
Renowned as he is all the world over
for his thrift, and the subject of many
a story as to the "nearness" of his
character, 1t is very great mistake
to think that he has always put utility
first in his every undertaking. In
many cases 1t has been rather the OPP
posite, and sometimes his fondness for
beauty in his farm animals has been
to some extent his undoing. This
might account for the fact that the
Ayrshire Is easily the most stylish
dairy COW that is bred. While fav-
orites of other breeds may dispute
this, am quite sure most men VIII
admit that attractiveness is an out
standing characteristic Of this Scot
tish dairy COW.
Just as surely as Burns declared
that the Mauchline bellies were, THE
Pride O. the Place and its Neighbor-
hood A.; so surely is the Ayrshire
Coo" the pride of many an Ayrshire
farmer today; and many n boy has
been kept ON the farm by the pleasure
and delight he experienced in caring
for animals that were always good to
look upon. :
