niflcant average Of As feet second, or
30 miles an hour. OF course this speed
maintained steadily In an automobile

communities. Most birds, however, do
better than the crow. Curlews and
jacksnipes can fly SIS and 85 feet n

and ruled grouse can make rs feet.
The dove can reach speed Of 100
feet u second, or So miles an hour, al

teals, Canada geese, and different yari-
cites of brant can fly over 100 feet
per second. ranging in speed from SO

Pockets of Marbles in Lava.

If prehistoric lads did not enjoy the
regular spring game of ''mibs" 1t was
not for want of glass marbles. Pocli-
cts of marbles. formed by the molten
lava, have recently been found on the
west slopes of Mount Adams, Wash

der thin layer of earth and leaf
mould, contains an unlimited number
of the spheroidal bits of stone. Many
Of them are perfect in shape and Just
about the right size for chldhood's
old-time game. The theory advanced
as to their origin is that the molten
lava sprayed high into the air, was
cooled by cold air current and in
falling the rounded drops solicited in
the same manner as bullets are formed
while the hot lead drops from the shot

FARMER pUTMAN's PHILOSOPHY

After attendin' the Western States
Extension Conference I thought may
be I'd better git busy and draw up a
project like the rest of them special
lists. one of whom l am which in Ru-
raj Devilment Them Washington Of
ficials like Mr. Smith and Mr.. Graham
got to wonderin' just what l done to
earn my title plus salary and travelin'
expenses, and the Director thought I'd
better make some kind of showin',
anyhow on paper, to indicate that l
had broad grasp of the problems
that comes under the head of devil
ment I assured him that I had such,
but that is was hard to write it out
in project without gittin' too tech
meal
well" he sez, "do the best you
can, Farmer; we all realize your
shortcomings"

ly matter of salary and not of
training fur my devilment work"
'That's true, he sez, calm and Nc
Cann-like. eff we was to attempt to
pay you on the basis of the amount

went to Josephine with my troub-
les as usual, and she sez: ''Tom, you
oughtn't to let little thing like that
bother you. Just drop off to sleep
and it'll come to you in dream.
Your best idears (*) comes in your
dreams. You seem to have much
more sense when you're asleep"
Which was encouragin', as that
woman always is. After good nights
rest | was able to think more clear
and here she goes:
Name of project: Rural Devilment.
Leader: Thomas Jefferson Putnam.
Object: Nothing serious.
Slogan: Coordinate, correlate, CO.

Method: Apply them three magic
words wherever you go and like Alley

Knock three times and the ranchman
sec: "Who comes thar"
You say: Coordinate, correlate,
co operate"
The Ranchman: Survey, question
naire, demonstrate! Enter extension
worker The table is set"
And they sit down to fried chicken
and hot biscuits
