Wise Hen Eats Bugs
on Auto Radiator

Holland. Texas.-A hen that
wearied of barnyard fare has
added distinctly new service
to the garage-filling station op-
Grated here by Virgin Huddles-
ton.
Tourists driving in for gas and
oil usually carry delicious sun
ply of bugs and grasshoppers on
the radiators of their automo-
biles. The hen hops on the bumD-
er and pecks out the insects,
dropping them to the ground.
She then inspects the machine
from stem to stern for other
dainty bits.
When the car drives away. the
hen enjoys a real meal. She
roosts atop the town hearse, and
nests beneath a blacksmith's an

Peak in immigration

Up to 1916 the total number OF
immigrants in 20 years was about
100000. In 1847, potato famine
in Ireland brought an enormous
influx OF Irish, and soon a heavy
German immigration set in. In seven
years the total was higher than for
the preceding 20. With few lulls,
immigration steadily increased to
its peak in 1907, when 1,2S5,0OO for
eigners arrived.

Your Home Town
Newspaper

The value of your local newspaper
to the success of your business cannot
be Overestimated. It's worth all the
support and cooperation you can give
it. For the newspaper is mirror re-
flecting the life of the community in
which you and your store have an i'm
portant part. Your advertisement is
the reflection of your store in the
mirror. Everybody sees it there. If
it is not there, the mirror is dark where
your store should be. You are there,
but you cannot be seen. Your store
is open for business as usual, but
out Of sight, out of mind To keep
in step with the progress of the COM
munity, to get your share of business,
you must advertise regularly. Estab-
lish an advertising budget. Plan a
regular schedule for your ADVERTISE
ment. It's policy that is followed
by the most successful stores in COM
munities with a town paper; it's an
idea that will be profitable for you.

Ten thousand Japanese more than
eighty years old recently told how
they live, and their stories agree with
the general direction surveyed for
the several, still dimly understood
scientific roads to longevity.
These roads are diet, heredity. rest
and mental poise. All seem to be
%converging toward the common goal
of moderation.
On the diet there r two recent
significant surveys indicating how
man may soon learn to prolong his
life. The latest. by DR.. C. Nj. Nc
Cay. of the Cornell university anil
NAL nutrition laboratory, challenged
the present practice of feeding both
animals and children enough to pro-
duce maximum size In the shortest
time.
In his colony Of rats Doctor Nc
Cay has some already twice normal
rat ages, and still going, with the
oldest equal to ~ years of human
life.
The lives of these animals were
doubled by just, one thing-feeding
them less than enough to let them
grow as fast as nature would permit.
The other survey shows diet ap-
piled In a manner more nearly fitting
humans desires. This was made by
DR.. Henry G. Sherman. OF Columbia
university, whose experiments led
him to predict that the average life
span can be prolonged ten years In
the near future by choice OF diet.
No nation yet has ventured to APP
ply the known laws of heredity thai
result In longer life. But the Japa-
nese study suggests this type of her
edity Is somehow mingled with mod

longevity come from families neither
very small nor extra large, accord

This study was made by Doctor
Nakayama, a school h%ygienist. To
him the 10000 reported on climate,
circumstances and manner of living,
hygiene, tastes and family records.

MANY thoughtful persons comment
1vA on the apparent discrepancy be-
tween the pleas OF William Green for
more employment and the policy pur-
sued BY organized labor In fostering
great strikes seemingly for the sole
purpose OF enforcing unionization and
the closed shop. Many thousands of
persons are thrown out OF employment
by these strikes, industries are ham,
pered or shut down and often serious
disorders result. To the %bystander 1t
does not seem fair that, In a time OF
distress, such methods should be fol-
lowed In order that the strength of the
unions might be increased. The latest
example of this policy Is the strikes
which brought about the closing Of
all the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
company's shops and warehouses In
Cleveland and which went into effect In
Milwaukee against the A. and p. and
two other chain store companies. There
was a prospect that these walkouts
would spread throughout Ohio and

In industry In September numbered

gency relief projects, but these emer-
gency jobs he said, ARE not Great
Ing incomes to pay the costs"
Mr.. Green continued: could not the
administration invite all industries to
cooperate In a general program to in
crease production and put men to
work?
If the nationwide level Of all pro-
duction were lifted 30 per cent In a
balanced program, adjusting produc-
tion to consumption needs. each indus
try would then be assured that all
other industries would increase their
production, and the wealth produced
by putting labor to work would create
income to buy the product of all.

port was a statement Of the National

agency noted that the general improve

occurring In September failed to ma
terfalize. Instead, declines OF ST. per
