ore are still waiting to be uncov-

that such development as the sale
of the Morning Star would provide
the necessary stimulus for a gen.

into ruins in Fairview, and the

Old Prospectors Cannot
Agree on How Property
Is to Be Developed.

Vancouver. B. C-Joint owners
of what is reputed to be one of
the most valuable gold mines in
the world, two veteran British Co
lumbia prospectors are nearing the
end of life's span in semi-destitu-
ton, because they cannot agree
upon the manner in which the prop
erty shall be developed.
The prospectors are Steve Man
got, prominent for nearly half a
century in Pacific coast mining, and
John McEcheran. The mine is the
Morning Star, one of the most val
liable in the Fairview district. The
Guggenheim syndicate of New York
is reported to have made the part
ners an offer of approximately
S1.000,000 for their holdings, but
the two are deadlOcked as to the
conditions of acceptance.
Demands Spot Cash.
The Guggenheim intere IS, it is
said. have offered a substantial
cash payment and the balance as

Trench Enemies Now

Aberdeen, Wash.-William Weis-

Weissenborn was a member of
the Uhlan regiment and Howser

Their companies fought each other

After the war Weissenborn came

Bluebeard's Home Is
Now an Attractive Inn

Paris.-A Frenchman shocked a
superstitious nation recently by
opening a hostelry in the house
where Frances Blue Beard MUIR
dered and burned a score or more
wives at GambaiS.
The hotel man, unfrightened by
the gruesome furnace in which Lam
dru is supposed to have burned the
bodies of his many wives, purchased
Landru's old villa and trans
formed it into an attractive inn.
Henri Landru. known as Blue
Beard, was arrested ten years ago
when neighbors became suspicious
of the strange disappearance of
the many women who came to live
under his roof and were never seen
again. He was executed.

MAGIC BRAIN FLUID MAKES DUNBBELLS THINK FAST!

cubic centimeter of il, he says, is
equal to 80 grams of fresh brain.
His experiments were first made
with guinea pigs. After two weeks,
Haberlandt declares, they reacted
quickly to intelligence tests. They
jumped around in a more lively
manner. took more notice of what
was going on, were alert 10 the
slightest sounds, and deSiSted any
attempt to grab them.
This led Haberlandt TO try his
experiments on human beings. A
similar extract of the brains of
oxen and calves was given to pa
tients suffering from partial mac
tivity of the brain.
He now intends to develop his
method by injecting the fluid into
the blood, but believes the method
will not attain popularity until the
fluid is reduced to a pill.

New Egg Mold Causing
Losses to Handlers

Recently a peculiar mold which
develops on egg shells during ship
ment and in cold storage has caused
some heavy losses to the handlers
of cold storage eggs. AS nearly as
can be learned. it seems that this
mold is caused by using crates
made of unseasoned or poorly sea-
soned wood.
This spot mold first appears on
the outside of the egg shell. 1t
leaves the egg unsightly and re-
duces it's market value. Within a
short time it will penetrate the
shell, spreading through the inte-
rior surface and giving the egg a
moldy flavor. 1t can be elimin-
ated by using well-seasoned egg
crates.

Peterson was working on his farm
near here when a noise in the
woods behind him startled him.
He paid no attention and went on

Again he heard the noise and

Round and round the stump the
buck chased Peterson until help

Proper Insulation

Proper insulation is as important
as good ventilation for poultry
houses. South Dakota authorities
agree that while condensation of
moisture is reduced with rapid
changes of air, yet in thoroughly
insulated houses it is not necessary
to speed up circulation of air so
much as in poorly insulated houses.
Other South Dakota tests indicate
that hens receiving yellow corn in
scratch and mash lay % per cent
more eggs and consume less mash
than hens receiving white corn.

People in most need simply
aren't getting a break" said Dan
iel Platt, in charge of the convert
ed mission. Captain Hammill and
lots of others know it, and the
merchants are getting cynical.
Why not? Buns are human and
should be fed, but for the mission,
we won't have chiSelers.

That the more than fifty bread
lines and food depots operating in

the unemployed who are willing to
work but unable to find job has
been asserted by the welfare coun-
ellis coordination committee, on
the basis of surveys by social

Disinfect Drinking
Water in Henhouse

A good homemade disinfectant
for the drinking water in the poul-
try house is a calcium-hypOchloride
solution. To make it, take one 13-
ounce can of chloride of lime, one
half pound of fine table salt, and
one gallon of hot water. Mix and
dissolve; allow the lime and the
salt to settle. and use only the
clear liquid.
Prepare the mixture in earthen-
ware or glass jars and keep it pro-
tected from the light. The sOlu-
tion should not be kept more than
ten days. Two tablespOonfuls of
the solution for each gallon of
drinking water disinfects satisfac-

LIQUOR RAID

CAMBRIDGE. Md, May 49,
A hquor-running ring which used
the Chesapeake Bay as SNUG
Cling base was believed to be
broken up today following the
arrest of II men, seizure of two
trucks, a speedy motorboat, a
quantity of arms and a supply
Of expensive wine and whisky.
The seizures we're made yester-
day by Federal agents. The
trucks and most of the, men were
taken at a bridge between here
and Taylors Island. The boat
was seized while it lay at anchor
off the island.
According to the officers, the
boat was used in landing liquor
from a ship at anchor in the
bay. The system, it is believed,
has been in operation for about
two years, but owing to the
stiffness of the runners has
never been reached by officers.
