HERE'S A NEW FAD

comes along and sweeps the coun-
try as fad. Now it's cross word
puzzles. as old as the hills as an
amusement, yet they. become reigning
fad in place of bridge, Nah Jongg

a cross word puzzle department
New and original puzzles Will be
printed every Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday and on each other day
the fans will be given the solutions
of their puzzles, tips for solving them
and other useful information for the

Glass FIolDers Close
Imitation of Nature

Marvellous artificial blooms that re-
senlble natures finest specimens In
every respect except scent, are now be-
ing made by expert glassblowers.
Every part Of the flower or plant Is
faithfully reproduced, from the long,
delicate stems and colored petals to
the almost invisible pollen.
The first thing which the maker of
these wonderful blooms does is to blow
the petals from glass as thin and
fragile us tissue paper. The glass
petals are then shaped, and colored
exactly like the natural ones.
Some of the rarer plants cannot be
easily reproduced, and often several
experiments have to be carried out
with different colors before a really
good imitation is obtained.
These glass flowers are used extern
sively In museums, both to show de-
tails of plant or flower formation and
as backgrounds for displaying speci-
mems of birds and beasts.

Antiquity and Whiskers

Tradition says that Adam wore q

tifully executed bas reliefs have left
no doubt that the early Persian kings
cultivated whiskers. In fact, for fur

with. golden thread. The Winged Bulls
of Assyria are but types Of those
kings. The Chinese are shaven

But the Mohammedans are bearded

his youth, shaved his army to prevent

MODERN FARMING METHODS

Cooperating with the Illinois Power
and Light Corporation at Bloomington,
Ill, Eugene and DeLoss Funk, farmers
living near, this summer experimental
with electricity for threshing. It is be-
lieved that the Funks are the first
American farmers to use an electric
motor to drive a grain separator to
thresh their wheat and oats.
Threshing with electricity is long
step in advance of the old time steam
traction engine or the present day
motor tractor. These enterprising
young farmers, however declare they
have used all of the methods and that
electricity beats them all.
DeLoss Funk figures the cost OF 40
horsepower electric equipment, $500;
steam equipment, $4,000; tractor equip
ment from $1,000 up; the two latter
types of power requiring attendants
which add to the cost Of operation. He
says the average daily cost OF operating
the traction engine, not counting salary
of an engineer, is $40. The cost of a
tractor would be considerably less,
while the exact cost of current, yet to
be computed, it is estimated will be APP
proximately 25c per day of 5 to 10
hours.
This is something for farmers to
think about.

Der that every cold is caused by a

somebody or something. II you
have cold, don't pass on the germs
Of your cold to the next fellow.
''At this time of the year when
there are apt to be sudden changes
or temperature, it is. worth, while to
take some precautions against TAX

weather. Don't over-eat. Drin k
plenty of water. Keep yourself fit
by daily exercise in the open. Fresh
air is the best possible tonic. Keep
away from the person who, has a
cold. Don't use common towel or
drinking cup. The person VINO
coughs or sneezes in your face, ought
to know better. If he doesn t
know better, avoid him.

Fes0 Haze, or Acquire,
Good Thinking Habits

The average man works about-eight
hours a day, or is supposed to. The
rest OF the time Is divided about equal
ly, SO the theory runs, between recrea-
ton and sleep.
OF the 16 waking hours how many
are devoted to thinking? Psychologists
tell us that tenth is a liberal allow
ance. and. in actual practice, from that
down. Only a little more than an hour
and half out Of the twenty-four oc-
cupied In thinking!
Thinking is one Of the most difficult
and trying of occupations, says Col
lier's. Were this not SO it Is probable
that we might spend more time at 1t.
To prove this, try to concentrate your
mind ON the book you have just read !:
on the lecture you have recently
listened to; on the important inter-
view you have just had. Try to remem-
Der and recount to yourself, item by
item. just as much as you can Of the
thing you read or listened to. Il will
tire you out Unless you have trained
yourself to the task your mind will
wander-you will lose the thread.
Psychologists recommend the culti-
walton Of thinking habits; they recon-
mend less reading and more thinking
about what you have read and heard
and seen.
