LUCKY-BUGs

THE lucky-bug superstition is large
L ly, but not entirely, confined to
children. Have you not, as child,
sought to catch in your hand one of
those little, black water-beetles which
go gyrating about upon the surface
of still pools or the calm backwaters
of brooks and rivers? Most children
have and most children do 70 this day
while il is not unusual TO see 'growf-
up" engaged in the same diversion. In
some sections they say that the catch
ing of lucky-bug brings good fortune
and in other sections you are advised
TO bury the captured beetle and make
a wish. when you will assuredly get
your wish" In some places this little
water-beetle is called the dollar bug"
and the superstition is that you will
get a dollar for every one you catch.
But generally their capture simply
means good luck.
The lucky-bug gets his magic powers
principally from the fact that he is a
beetle-a sort of scarab; the mystic
virtues and powers of the scarab
among the ancient Egyptians are well
known. The beetle was sacred; 1t
typified the self-created gods, the ris-
Ing sun. immortality and the resurrec-

Study Record Book Data
to Keep Track of Sires

One way to stimulate interest of
the dairyman in the value of better
sires can be accomplished by making
proper use of the data which is found
in the herd record book headings, pro-
vided that they have been filled in
completely and properly. Get the
name and number of each cows sire,
and the dams name if possible. In
many instances the sire my be ''gone
and forgotten" but one can usually
find out which cows are sired by a
certain bull, and in that way determine
the value of the sires formerly heading
the herd.
The ideal data on sires is arrived at
by comparing his daughters with their
dams. Know your bull through his
daughters The daughters should
show a decided Improvement over
their dams in respect to their produc-
ton and conformation if selected for
the future herd. When you have found
the rating of sire and he has proved
to be exceptionally good, and is still
living, continue using him in the herd.
Too often a good sire goes TO the
block before his value Is known.
Breeders should exchange sires or
loan them to someone until their
daughters can be tested. There is no
better way TO make COW testing work
more effective than to promote the
use of better sires.

Swamp Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women

Women's complaints often prove to be

If the kidneys are not in healthy con-

to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be respondent; it makes any

But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-

URSULA
By MILDRED MARSHALL

THE ancient Romans were appar-
= emily fond of wolves and bears; at
least, many of the masculine and femi-
nine names originating from them,
were derived from their terms for ami
mails. One of these Is Ursula, which
comes from the Roman ursus, meaning
bear.
Ursus, as a proper name was popu-
lar in early times among semi Romans
and Gallo bishops. But 1t was per-
haps some allusion TO the pole-star
which made Ursula, little bear) fur
nish the name of the heroine of the
curious legend of Cologne, that the
Breton maiden, who, on her way to
her betrothed British husband, was
shipwrecked on the German coast and
slain by Attila, king of the Huns, with
II 900 virgin companions The skulls
of the maidens are shown at Cologne,
and their princess name has been fol-
lowed by noble ladies.
The Irish word mahon also signifies
bear and hence some Of the MacMa-
hons of Ireland have turned them
selves into Fitz Ursulas. The popular
ity of the name has spread into all the
countries of Europe and has been
copied TO some. degree in America,
though most of our Ursulas are of for
eign extraction. The English have two
other charming forms beside Ursula !;
they are Ursel and Ursley. France
favors Ursule and many religieuse
has borne the name of Sister Ursule
Spain adopted the form of Ursola.
while Portugal accepts the English
version of Ursula. Italy follows Spain
with Ursola. The unmistakable Teu-

Ursula's talismanic gem is the topaz.
