ROBBERS LOOT POOL
HALL At HOMESTEAD

Three men entering a pool hall
at Homestead about nine-thirty Fri
day evening, at the point OF a gun

bed them of their personal belong
ings, ratified the till and made good
their escape.

papers belonging to Mr.. Olson. and
a gun.
Clues are lacking In the ordeal.
Two of the men wore masks. The
third member, unmasked, could
not be identified by Olson or Jens-
ven.
Residents of Homestead could aid
but little In offering a solution to
.apprehend the trio. No strangers
were reported see in the town be-
fore the robbery. Although a car
was reported to have been seen
parked behind a lumber yard short
" before the time of the robbery,
residents have no recollection OF a
car leaving the town after the ap-
proximate time OF the crime.

LAD LOSES Arm in
RUNAWAY MISHAP

Jimmy, eight year old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank O"Toole, liv-
ing south of PlentyWood was
brought to the hospital Saturday
evening the victim OF a peculiar
runaway accident, which cost the
lad his right arm. The member was
severed above the elbow.
Returning home with his father
after spending the day In Plenty
wood, the horses became frightened
An effort to check them proved fu-
tile, and running through a barbeds
wire fence, in some unaccountable
manner the wire caught the little
boys arm. The impact completely
severed the member.
The horses, after running a con-
siderable distance, were gotten un-
der control. Mr.. O'Toole, seeing
the seriousness OF the injured son,
applied a temporary tourniquet with
his belt to stop the bleeding, and
started back to PlentyWood. A
passing motorist was hailed and the
lad rushed to the hospital.
Little Jimmy proved himself to
be a plucky lad. Although I'M
doubtedly suffering intense pain he
did not display any emotion after
the accident. He remained conscious
throughout the ordeal.

How it Started
''Cynic. .
BY JEAN NEWTO,

81. "Cynic." "
Our modern connotation of a cynic
or a cynical person is one who is likely
to sneer at professions of rectitude, who
disbelieves in the goodness of human
motives. Many people are quite willing
to call themselves cynics. They have
doubtless heard that the term named a
school of Greek philosophers; which
numbered among its disciples, Dlogenes.
Since those cynics were noted not only
for their austere lives but for their
scorn for social customs and the cur
rent philosophical opinions, the term
came to symbolic, in the popular view,
a sort of moroseness and contempt Tor
the view of others.
However, if they tracked the term
down to its ultimate origin, todays
self-named cynics would wish immedi-
ately to call themselves something else
For the word means doglike, and so
snarling, curriSh! Through the Latin
"cynicus" it has Greek derivation
which relates it to the hound.
Also, in astronomy, cynic pertains to
the dog star. In medicine there Is
the "cynic spasm"-"a convulsive con-
traction of the muscles of the side of
the face, producing sort Of grin, sug-
gesting certain movements in the upper
lip of a dog" -
Now, you cynics!

Butterfly Weed.

ASclepias tuberr0sa.
~ YER the brilliant clusters of the
most ornamental Of all our
native milkweeds, the butter
flies hold high carnival over
their special plant, the butter
fv weed. In dry fields, where these
plants love to settle, they appear as
blaze of fire. Above the gorgeous flow
ers the myriads of butterflies f1oat'
hover, alight and sail about the bril-
liant clusters. filled with the nectar
they seek.
Hovering over the butterfly weeds you
NAV see the great, dark velvety small
low-tail butterflies with their green
shaded hind wings marked with little
white crescents. The Eastern swallow
tail, with its color combination OF yell
low and brown. This exquisite flyer Is
also seen futtering ABOVE the lovely
Queen Anne's lace and the carrot fam
ily The daintily marked spice bush
swallow-tail. whose hideous little cater
pillars roll themselves in their favorlte
leaves. comes back and forth to drink
the nectar served by the flaming bush.
You will find here the common cab
bage butterfly and the sulphurs that
are always galavanting gayly over clover
fields and, seeing their reflections In
the mud puddles. In fact, this plant
draws from far and near, beautiful
fairies so like glowing jewels, that 1t
always pays to visit these plants when
they are in bloom.
The Towering season Is from June
until September, depending upon the
location, as this milkweed is known
from Maine and Ontario to Arizona and
South to the Gulf of Mexico. This
lovely flower seeks to brighten and
glorify dry sandy fields, roadsides and
barren hills.
The bright reddish orange flowers,
which in most cases are terminal clus-
ters, are on erect hairy stems Of one to
two feet high and odorless. The milky
Juice in the stems is scarce. The leaves
are usually alternate, lance-shaped and
seated on the stem.
The fruit is a pair of erect, hoary
pods, two to five inches long, and one
or both of them are filled with silky
plumed seeds that will later ride the
winds to high adventures.
This is the butter1y's own plant. The
nectar wells are so deeply situated that
only the long-tongued visitors may
probe their depths and get their faces
powdered with pollen. The humming
birds, who are especially fond of bright
red and orange, are also seen sampling
