 Farm Waste

BURNHAMTHORPE, Ont. Sept. "A, Half the labor of cutting a field of grain will be done away with, if the automatic "stooker", manufactured by Henry Smith, 82 year old Toronto inventor, con- es up to expectations.
 He was putting the final touch es recently on his apparatus in this community, five miles west of Toronto. The apparatus is de- signed to catch seven or eight sheaves of grain as they come from the binder and "stook" or pile them neatly against one an- other.
 He says the machine will hand le the grain too short to be pro- perly bound, by carrying it along to be piled up at intervals in- stead of being wasted.

School Officially
 Accepted By The
 Council Meeting

At a special session of the Nome City Council this morning at 10 AM. the city of Nome &C., cepted the newly constructed school building, completed today by the Peterman Construction Company of Juneau. The council visited the school building and looked it over then returned and voted to accepted the finished job.
 NOTE:-All that remains, be- fore the building is ready for oc- cupancy, is the installation of the new school equipment which con tract for transportation to the building was let today to George Jones.
 AS a suggestion, the City Coun- ell would be starting the new deal off right in Nome, with the new school edifice, if they would hold inauguration, christening ex- ercises, or ceremonials in the new building, before active school work commences. The public of Nome is highly interested in the new building and would be de- lighted at the opportunity of in spection and observance of the many new and modern conven- fences included in the construc- ton. We look forward to an ear ly dedication services of Nome's new school building and Civic Center.

Camel Has Tough
Time, But 1t Can
Stand Punishment

THE camel's life Is about as hard
as any animal has to bear. 1t lives
in the desert where binding dust
storms sting its eyes, and where water
is scarce. The hot sands grind its
feet. 1t must live days without food.
And II nature had not been extraordi-
nariiy kind to 1t. probably not a single
camel would be alive to lope over the
desert today. But it is marvelously
protected against these hardships.
It's nostrils, for instance, are slant
ing, and it can close them in sand
storms so that part of the singing
dust is kept out and air still can
get in.
It's lashes are thick and long and
shade its eyes from the blazing sun
and glaring sand almost as well as
awnings would.
It's feet are padded with callouses
against the blistering sand, and so
are its elbows and knees and even
its chest, so that 1t may kneel and
lie down comfortably.
And its humps? It's humps are
ife-giving cupboards where extra fat
is stored for use during the hungriest
days. Humpless camels couldn't live
long.
But the camel doesn't starve II his
teeth can help him. for they're sharp
and pointed and as strong as steel

Clever Matchbox
Trick VIII Battle
The "Wise Ones
By Thomas the Magician.

By Thomas the Magician.
HERE is an excellent way to fool the
wise ones in your audience. and
you must know that there are always
persons in any magic audience who
know how all the tricks are done!
(Or at least, they think that they do.)
Some day in the near future I will tell
you how to quiet these wise ones" as
magicians call them.
Effect: The magician shows a
matchbox to be empty by letting the
spectators look into the open drawer.
Then upon closing it and pronouncing
the magic words, he Immediately opens
it (or he may let some member Of the
audience open it, and now to the sur
prise of all present, the box contains a
number of ordinary matches
Explanation: The matches are con-
cealed from the very beginning, be-
tween one end of the drawer and the
inside of the box cover
AS many matches as possible are
wedged into this clever hiding place,
and the drawer is then pushed through
the box and out the other side so that
at the beginning of the trick the
drawer is about halfway open.
In closing it, the thumb holds the
back of the drawer against the
matches, thus forcing them into the
drawer.

to do now is spread the news. and
see if we get any word about him"
Part of that country is pretty deso-
late" said Eddie. But if he made
a crash landing somebody must have
heard or seen that. Well probably
get word of him before long"
Eddit's prophecy was not fulfilled
That afternoon the local newspapers
carried long stories of the planes
disappearance, and other newspapers
for many miles around published
shorter but similar stories. BY the
next morning the whole country knew
that a plane had been lost between
Pembroke and South Branch.
Yet day passed, and another, and
not word of information regarding
Shade and the Hawk was received.
Eddie Moore resumed his scheduled
flights, but Mr.. Stafford continued
searching ceaselessly. and Eddie also
went out at his every opportunity.
Then the flyers working for Arrow
reported that they had been watching
for trace of the missing ship, but
without result.
A S EACH day passed. the mystery
became more and more incompre-
hensible to every one working for Mr..
Stafford.
"A plane can't just drop out of sight
that way!" Jonesy stormed one day
when Mr.. Stafford was out. If we
don't find it pretty soon. I'll begin to
think that Shade stole the ship and
went South with it,"
Hal looked at him quickly. The
same idea had occurred to him. but
he had dismissed it.
How could he, Jonesy?" Hal in
quired. He'd have to come down be-
fore long for fuel, and with all the
publicity this affair has had. he
couldn't keep people at any field in
the country from recognizing him and
the Hawk"
Jonesy was about to make some
emphatic reply when the Office door
opened, and Mr.. Stafford stalked in.
His face was dark with worry
"Norbeck may not rerew their con-
tract!" he announced shortly. The
