Five-Pound CalfIs Fed
by Bottle in Incubator

Ogema, Minn.-A bull calf no
larger than some human babies his
own age cuddled quite contentedIy
in a homemade incubator behind
the kitchen stove Of c. w. Putbreze,
Ogema farmer, and took Grade "a"
milk through rubber nipple.
Named Paul Bunyan in honor of
the legendary strong man lumber
jack of the north woods, the calf is
normal in every respect-except
size. Weighing only five pounds at
birth, he already has gained eleven,
and Farmer Putbreze confidently
predicted he'll grow into a big,
strong bull.
A normas calf weighs from 40 to
go pounds at birth. There's no logi-
cal explanation for PaILl'S diminutive
proportions. His mother is seven
years old and had previously given
birth to two other calves of normal
size and weight Farmer Putbreze
doesn't believe Paul was born pre-
maturely.

GAME GROUP is
MADE AT DOVER
Sixty Members Admitted to
Farmer-Sportsmen Unit; Dog
License Law Attacked
TO ELECT OFFICERS

Farmers and sportsmen of the
Dover section organized the Dover
Chapter of the United Farmers and
Sportsmen of Delaware last week
at a meeting in Temple Theatre
Dover. F'ifty-three senior members
were admitted and seven junior
members. More than 100 persons
attended. Patrick Morgan, presi-
dent of the Christiana Chapter of
the organization and organizer OF
the state group, outlined the pur-
poses of the new organization and
read the organization bylaws. He
recommended the Dover Sportsmen
insist on the enforcement of the
Delaware pollution laws, which Mr..
Morgan said prohibit the dumping
of any foreign material into Della
ware streams that might prove in
furious to fish. IF the present
Game and Fish Commission does
not enforce this law, let us try and
get a commission that will" Mr.
Morgan added. He said he also OBJ
jected to the Delaware dog license
law, which he said requires that all
dogs in Delaware, outside of Will
mington, be licensed. 'None of the
License money collected from the
dogs in Wilmington through the
Wilmington dog tax goes to the
state, despite the fact Wilmington
dogs are permitted to hunt outside
of the city," he said. IF any Will
mington dogs kill poultry in the
country, the game commission is
responsible for the damage, while
the commission receives no money
for the license of these dogs" NJ.
A.Dager served as chairman of the
meeting. William Craig of Wy
oming was elected temporary pres
ident. and John Cavanaugh, tenn
porary secretary. Permanent Of

tion on a 65-acre tract at the east
ern edge of Newark where a large

automobile company for some time
and from them had been advised
that the company intends to con
struct a building a thousand feet
long and several hundred feet wide
on the site which is along the New
York-Washington route of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The COM
pany representatives, who came
from Troy, H. X, he said, had ex-
plained they were considering con
struction Of full assembling plant

pie for this purpose is included in
the option. S. E. Dameron, of
Newark, owner Of the property,

panys detailed plans would be

BEAVERS LEAD
WAR ON RANGES
Persist in Damming River to
Flood the Pasture
Land
SEEK FOOD SUPPLY

Ely. Nev.-Plans for war to
end war are being considered by
Salmon forest rangers.
As told by Ranger Andrew Nc
Conkie of Salmon forest, the war"
was waged between rangers of the
Copper Creek station and colony
of beavers.
Both sides were literally kept
busy as a beaver"
The beavers persisted in keeping
a dam across Panther creek. Back
water from the dam flooded the
ranger station pasture with water.
The beavers, with much labor,
had constructed a 4O-foot dam on
the Panther. The rangers, with
much labor. tore the dam down.
The water released, the Copper
Creek station pasture land emerged
as dry land
The next night the beavers re
paired the damage to their dam,
and the rangers awoke to find their
pasture once more under water.
Realizing there existed two
schools of thought as regards the
dam,. the rangers brought in a
Diesel caterpillar tractor. and used
it to do a more thorough job Of
destroying the dam.
The following morning, the pas
ture was once more flooded. The
beavers had again repaired the
dam.
AS a side project, the beavers had
been developing canal across the
"battleground''-the station pasture
to clump of aspens. The aspen
provides the beaver with its ia
vorite food.
When the ranger station was un-
occupied last October the beavers
were able to devote their entire en-
ergies toward laying in the winters
supply of food, unhampered by hav-
ing to rebuild a dam each night.
When the rangers returned, they
were not surprised to find their
pasture under water. But in addi-
tion, the beavers had harvested all
the aspens-and had added insult
to injury by removing several
shade trees from in front of the
station.

Beers as Just a Snifter

When he testified at the
trial of a fellow worker, Lumber
jack Joe Asselin insisted that he
had been in perfect control of his
faculties at the time of his COM
rade's arrest. although conceded to
the judge, that he had drunk about
40 glasses of beer.
do you mean to say you were
not drunk after taking 40 glasses of
beer?" queried the skeptical coun-
sell
Sure" Asselin admitted. That
much has no effect on me. After
60 glasses I'm feeling good, and
after 80 I'm feeling better"

Golden Text: Micah So. Thou,
Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou
be little among the thousands Of
Judah, yet out of thee shall he
come forth unto me that is to be
ruler in Israel; whose goings forth
have been from of old, from ever
lasting. A bible citation from the
Ilesson-sermon: Isaiah AZ: 1-3, 6, z.
Behold my servant, whom I up
hold: mine elect, in whom my soul
delighteth; I have put my spirit
upon him: he shall bring forth
Judgment to the Gentiles. He shall
not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his
voice to be heard in the street. "A
bruised reed shall he not break.
and the smoking fax shall he not
quench: he shall bring forth judg-
ment unto truth. 1 the Lord have
called thee in righteousness, and
will hold thine hand, and will keep
thee, and give thee for a covenant
Of the people, for a light Of the
Gentiles; to open the blind eyes, to
bring out the prisoners from the
prison, and them that sit in dark
ness out cf the prison house. "A
correlative passage from the Chris
tian Science Textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy: The
Christ was the Spirit which Jesus
implied in his own statements: II
am the way, the truth, and the
life" Il and my Father are one"
This Christ, OF divinity Of the man
Jesus, was his divine nature, the
godliness which animated him. Di-
vine Truth, Life, and Love gave
Jesus authority over sin, sickness,
and death. His mission was to re-
veal the Science of celestial being,
to prove what God is and what He
does for man"

TRADE AGREEMENT - The
signing of a new reciprocal trade
agreement with Ecuador, was an
nounced by Secretary Of State Cor

eighteenth of its kind in the pro-
gram boosting foreign trade.

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPEN-
ALTON With unemployment com
pensation laws in effect in every
State, more than q IL million
workers had earned credits toward
unemployment benefits by the end
of May 1888. More than half the
States are already paying benefits
and befroe another anniversary of
the act comes around all the States
will have reached this point of full
operation. Now benefits for full
time employment average about
S45 a month
TRACTORS The general pur-
pose tractor has affected American
agriculture as much or more than
the development Of the reaper and
the steel plows Of a century ago.
The gas tractor has been on the
market for 40 years, but only in
the last - years has a power unit
been available that is suitable for
planting and cultivating row crops,
as well as plowing, disking, and
belt work. Such a power mutt fits
the present trend toward durabil-
ity. simplicity, speed, and conven-
ience Of operation in farm machin-
cry.
DANGEROUS COSMETICS HIT
BY LAW The cosmetic provisions
Of the new Food, Drug and Cos
metic Act mark an important ad-
vance in the protection of the pub
lie. The old law did not include
cosmetics adm the Food and Drug
Administration has been powerless
to act against dangerous cosmetics
except in roundabout fashions. IN
der the new law all cosmetics ex-
cept toilet coaps come under regu-
lations. Labels will have to tell
the truth. Sponsors will be held
responsible. Cosmetics dangerous
to users may be kept off the mar
ket. This was regarded SO import
ant that Congress made the ban on
injurious cosmetics effective inn
mediately although most Of the
provisions in the Act do not go
into effect for / year.
