Magellan Really First
to Circumnavigate Globe

It is often said that Ferdinand
Magellan did not really circumnavi-
gate the globe because he was killed in
the Philippines before his famous voy-
age around the world was completed,
and that accordingly the honor Of be-
ing the first circumnavigator Of the
earth belongs to Juan Sebantian del
Cano who returned to Spain In the
vittorio with 81 Of the survivors of
the expedition. Magellan was killed
April %, 1921, in battle with the
natives on Mactan island, which /
124 degrees east longitude. In 1872,
however, while Magellan was still a
subject of Portugal, he sailed as far
as Banda island, about 100 degrees
longitude east of Greenwich. There
fore he, and not his subordinate Del
Cano, deserves the credit of having
been the first circumnavigator Of the
globe.-Pathfinder Magazine.

Eccentric Daughter of
Famous Concord Divine

Miss Mary Moody Emerson, Ralph
Waldo Emerson's eccentric aunt, lived
in her shroud, says Van Wyck Brooks
in Scribner's Magazine. She had
stitched it all herself and when death
refused to come she had put it on as
nightgown, then as daygown. She
was even seen on horseback once, in
Concord, cantering through the village
street, attired for the grave, with a
scarlet shawl thrown about her Shout
ders.
Miss Emerson was the daughter Of
the former minister of Concord, who
had died in the Revolution. She was a
dwarf, four feet three inches tall, with
a bold pinkish face, blue flash in her
eyes and yellow hair cropped close un-
der a mobcap. She was short and
erect as an adder about to strike.
She could not sit, she could not
sleep; a demon drove her pen. For
she had survived, a witness of the
lofty and terrible religion Of John
Calvin, to rebuke what she regarded
DIS tuC pOOAp polCs uAPOOSASoA AuAAe@AAA-
tarianism Of the new day. Her voice
was the voice of sibyl, issuing from
the caves of the past.
She was queerer than Dicks hat
band. She was thought to have the
power Of uttering more disagreeable
things in twenty minutes than any
other person living. She kept pace
with nobody; she had received, she
said, the fatal gift Of penetration, and
her mission was to undermine the
vanity of the shallow.
Was some high matter preached in
conversation? Did some rash suppl
ant invite Miss Emerson's opinion?
Mrs. Brown" the sibyl replied,
"how's your .cat?" Was some lady
praised too warmly in her presence?
She pricked the panegyric: SIS it a
colored woman Of whom you are
speaking?" 'Give US peace in our
boarders," she wrote on one occasion,
and, when shown the misspelling, she
said it would do as it was.

Philip, feeling awkward before her.
Her eyes regarded him seriously.
"Yes," she said briefly.

"But they're for Miss Lavinia Hill"
he said.
"I'm Lavinia HILL" she told him.
I'm the librarian and the district
school teacher and they've even asked
me to perform marriages when the
travelling preacher was too long In
comingv'
"And what's your-honorarium for
all this work?" he asked brusquely.
She laughed. "It's more honor
than honorarium as you probably
think of money" she said. I'm sup
posed to get $35 month, but in the
four years I've been here haven't
had too many salary checks. But they

manned silent.

said shortly.
He was scowling as he brought In
the box of books, but the scowl was
only on his face to keep his feet from
dancing and his eyes from telling her
too much at once He knew now why
that fellow back on the road had
sighed. Lavinia Hill wasn't going to
be there much longer if Philip Cross
could help it!

ONE PRESCRIPTION
MADE FAMILY DOCTOR
FAMOUS

Seldom has any single act been
of greater benefit to mankind than
that of DR.. Caldwell in. 1885, when
he wrote the prescription which
has carried his fame to the four
corners of the earth.
Over and over, DR.. Caldwell
wrote the prescription as he found
men, women and children suffering
from those common symptoms of
constipation, such as coated tongue,
bad breath, headaches, gas, nausea,
biliousness, no energy, lack of
appetite, and similar things.
Demand for this prescription
grew so fast, because of the pleas
ant, quick way it relieved such
symptoms of constipation, that by
1883 DR.. Caldwell was forced to
have it put up ready for use.
Today, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
as it is called, is always ready at
any drugstore.

CHECK YOUR BERRY BEDS

Several leaves of strawberry plants
were brought to the County Agents
office today showing the presence
of the small spider or mite which
caused severe damage to several
strawberry fields last season. 1t
would seem advisable that all growers
check their strawberry fields carefully
at this time, and especially those who
had trouble with the mite last year,
for the presence of this pest. 1t is
probable that the mite will be found
only in occasional spots in the field
and careful check will have to be
made in order to locate infestation. A
general rusty appearance OF foliage
should show these areas after a
few days of infestation. The earlier
treatment can be applied the better,
the treatment applied at this time
should not injure the plants in any
way.
Treatment should consist of dust
ing the areas affected, and where in
festation seems to be at all general
busting the entire field, with pow
dered sulphur. Flowers of sulphur
is especially good for this because Of
! the finenes of the particle but it is
more expensive than powdered sui
phur and the powdered sulphur
should be satisfactory if it is very
finely powdered. Seventy-five pounds
of this sulphur to an acre will be suf.
ficient to cover all of the plants or
an acre. Especial attention should be
given to giving thorough applica.
ton. Unless one has a mechanical
buster probably the easiest way tc
apply it would be to put the sulphur
into loosely woven sack made Of
cheese cloth or an open sugar sack
and sifted on to the row through
this material. Application during early
morning hours, when there is mois-
ture near the surface or dew upon
the plants should give better re-
suits than at any other time.

GAME ENDS IN TIE SCORE

The base ball game at Hanford
last Sunday, between White Bluffs
and Hanford, which was the last
practice game before the opening Of
the league season next Sunday, re-
suited in tie score of II to IL.
The game was see-saw affair with
first one club and then the other tax
ing the lead, and the result was in
doubt until the last man was out in
the ninth inning. There were some
nice fielding plays to. offset several
inexcusable errors; good and bad
base running; and both heavy and
weak hitting, all of which added to
the interest and excitement of the
contest, in spite of the rather large
score.
One of the bright spots in the
game was the pitching of Joe Wag-
ner, who worked the first half of the
game for White Bluffs. Joe is just
finishing high school this year and
this was his first try in the box. He
is southpaw and with little more
experience, which will bring with it
the necessary confidence, he should
make much better than the average
pitcher.
"Swede" Cords is back again and
played with Hanford, alternating be-
tween the pitchers box and short
stop.
Charles Kingman, catcher on the
White Bluffs club, suffered a badly
bruised finger on his throwing hand
in the first inning but gamely stuck
by his job until the end of the game.
The league season opens next Sun
day, with White Bluffs playing at
Kennewick and Benton City at Han
ford.
