ED FIRES BARN; HORSE
 AND COW LOSE LIVES
Lightning Responsible For Loss of S3,500 Al Place on shuttle
 Meadow Avenue

Damage Of about s3.50O resulted when a barn at 2i7 Shuttle Meadow avenue owned by Michael Arneth. pro- prietor of the New Britain Bird and Feed Co, was struck by lightning Sat Urday night. An alarm from Box IF brought fire apparatus to the scene.
 The blaze in the barn gave the fire men stubborn battle and it was almost an hour before 1t was put out. The rain aided nrcmcn considerably. Several vehicles that were in the barn were rescued, but everything else went up in the flames. 4 horse and COW that were kept in the barn died in the fire after attempts by Councilman David L.. Nair and Martin EIoroHitz to lead them out Of the barn 10 safety were unsuccessful.
 The Lightning travelled through both the house and barn on the elcc- tric wires, burning out all the switches and filling the house with smoke. The hay in the loft of the barn was ig- nited and one side of the barn was turned in to a mass of flames by the time the fire apparatus reached the scene.

Some Relics of Our Prehistoric Past

Few people realize that their an
cestors in a far-diStant past boosted
of .hree eyes. That is what evolution
lists contend. They say that millions
of years ago nature gave mankind a
third eye. 1t was not a success, so
she gradually discarded it. It's stunt
ed remains are to be found in the
half-finished eye which exists in eV-
eryone's brain just back of the depres-
sion below the upper part of the mid
die of the forehead. This hollow was
once an eye-socket.
Another peculiar thing about eyes,
according to the same theory, is that
we once had a transparent third eye
lid such as birds and reptiles possess.
1t could be lowered as a protector
when our ancestors were passing
through dense underground. The re-
mains of this extra eyelid can still be
seen at the corner of the eye If you
raise the top lid.
While you are at the mirror look at
your ears. Just over the entrance to
each is little pointed flap which can
be made to close the ear If pressed
back with the finger. This, it is claim
ed, was once an ear-shield which pro-
tected our ancestors in water and on
land. A few people can still move their
ears. In most of us, however, the
muscles whose duty it was to turn
them in the direction of sounds have
| fallen into disuse.
Just where the lower jaw meets the
neck are two deep grooves. They
mark the place where man once had
| gilIs-like a fish. Our pointed teeth
are the remains of great tearing
teeth or tusks Animals mott in spring
and autumn. Many people lose some
hair at the same time. When dog
or cat meets an enemy its hair or
| fur stands up. Though really fright
ened it wants to look fierce. In the
same way sudden start will make
us feel that our hair is standing on
! end.
The cuticle at the base of our nails
is a reminder that our nails were
once sheathed when not in use. Man
is the only animal that has been able
to develop the fifth finger ,thumb).
The pads at the base of the fingers
and at the wrist end of the palm are
those upon which we walked when
we went on all tours. Even today eV-
eryone has a little hooked bone at
the end of his spine. This is all that
remains of mans prehistoric tail.
The muscles with which we used TO
wag it are still there though shrunk
to tiny remnants through long neg
lect. So the evolutionists argue.

"PAY AS YOU ENTER"

Evidently all who seek office in
Grant county are not to be trusted.
No, the county officers there have not
sold the foundation from under the
court house, or the cylinder from the
town pump, in the way they have,
figuratively, at Washington; but some
of the would be officers-office seek
ers-have not paid UP their campaign
bills in the past, and the Lancaster
Herald has made a ruling that all
political advertising in that paper will
be cash in advance. A man who will
run more campaign expenses than he
can afford, if he loses, and then Jumps
his bills, deserves to be defeated

COUNTY AGENT NOTES
Meeting at North Andoyer

That the western part of Grant
county over around North Andover is
alive is brought out by the live COM
munity meetings which they hold ev-
cry month. The past week they held
meeting which was well attended
They are planning for a big program
for their meeting in June. We would
like to suggest that other clubs gel
behind their organizations and pubs
as these western Grant people do.
Every boy or girl in western Grant
county who wants to get into club
work should get in touch with Gus
Kuenster as they are planning big
things this year.
Poor Seed and Cold Weather
Seed that is low in termination and
vitality can't be expected to make
much Roadway when weather condi-
lions are cold and not the best.
This statement we make for the
reason that many have been planting
corn that is not too high in test
some not even tested. This weather
will not make good corn grow. The
poor corn will be weakened and the
result will be poor stand of corn
without great deal of vitality. II
you don't know about the test of your
corn or if it is low in test better
put off planting until some sign OF
warm weather is at hand. The yield
of your crop rests with you to GER
tain extent now.
Soy Bean incubation
Don't think that this matter of in
oculation is any "witchcraft." 1t is
not. I wish to urge all who are plant
ing Soy beans this year to inoculate
them before planting. Beans that are
inoculated will grow larger, mature
better, make better hay and better
silage. The bean itself will be larger
and above all it means more to fer
tility of your land. We will be glad
to help all get the incubation needed.
Spray Now
The time is at hand when your fruit
depends to a great extent on you. The
pink spray time is here for some
orchards now.
Pink Spray gallon liquid lime
sulphur, 40 gallons water. Spray when
buds are pink and before they open.
Next Spray gallon liquid lime
sulphur, 40 gallons water, pound
arsenate of lead. Spray when petals
have fallen. Never spray fruit trees
when in full bloom.

ADVERTISING HELPS
(From Build wisconsin,

Though the readers of the weekly
usually know the local advertisers, 1t
is important that their confidence be
built up, in the things advertised as
well as in the advertising firm, Reas-
enable, frank staten ents win more
trust than boastipg or exaggerated
claims. Too much elaboration may
cause distrust.
Advertisements Tell Facts
The prospect needs to be told the
important facts about the thing adj
vertised. He will usually want to know
what, why, who, where, and sometimes
when. Simple, direct words telling
what is for sale, why the prospect
should buy it, who has it, and where
they are located, attract most people.
The aim of the advertisement is to
create desire on the part of the
prospect for the thing advertised and
make it so strong that he acts on his
desire. The description is very impor-
tant in creating this desire. Price ap-
peal. quality, usefulness, ETC., all
serve to lead up to action. AS much
drive as possible, however, is needed
to put it over.i
Testing Saves Waste
Approaching In6 Same luGd 11OLA
the opposite direction, l.. N. Flint OF
the University of aKnsas suggests ten
tests for an advertisement. They
bring out it's strength and weakness
on the points suggested above. The
tests are:
Will it perform it's tasks?
l. Will the ad be seen? Not neces-
sarily by everybody, but by the
people you are after.
2. Will it be read? Is it newsy,
timely, interesting?
8. Will it be believed? Is it sin
cere and convincing?
4. Will it create desire? Is it
plausible, authoritative?
5. Will it get results in action? Is 1t
all pointed toward one decision?
Is each constituent effective?
6. Are the headings as effective as
possible?
7. Are illustrations and ornaments
properly used?
8. Is the white space effectively
distributed?
8. Are border lines and other lines
managed so as to attract the
eye?
TO- Are the Typography and the ar
rangement of parts satisfactory
as regards balance, harmony,
and rhythm?
Effectiveness of advertising is meas
ured by results, of course; but those
who analyze copy and layout, cr1t1-
cally, before publication, avoid waste.

Keeping ASiastics Out
Is n Racial Instinct.

A racial instinct impells the Amer
lean people to enact Asiatlc legls4a-
ton and in this respect we think con-
gress is closer to the peoples sense
in the matter than is the president.
America $50 years hence will be a
richer prize than it is today. Pollcles
laid down now will determine largely
whether the America of the next CEN
tury will be descended from our pres
ent stocks or belong to children OF
some other race. The negro problem
100 years from now will be negligible
AT present rate of increase IN pro
portion to the whites the negro VIII
compose five percent of the total pop
ulation in 2024. And the Americanlsm
of the negro of that day will be taken
as a matter of course.
The Americanism of an Asiat1c is
another matter. 100 years of penetra-
ton might mean a large part of TINS
country populated by Mongol types.
