"The bottles were now all empty,

brush and a pail of water to clean the
bottles, but to my surprise l found l
could not get the brush into the neck
of the bottles. | therefore turned the
twenty-seven bottles wrong side out
and scrubbed them well, and turned
them right side out again.
"By this time the house was revolv-
ing rapidly, and l sat on the floor and
counted the bottles as they went by.
There were sixty-four of them.

produced out of the drawer the can
opener, on the hind legs of which was
q glass cutter. l crept back carefully
to the bottles and seated myself in
the center of them and them going
around me continuously. By pretend
ing Indifference, and springing at them
when they were off guard, was able
to catch them one at a time. When
I had thus caught a bottle l held it
firmly down, by lying on it, and with
the glass cutter l cut off the bottom
and the neck of it. These l put to one
side and what remained of the bottle
made an excellent lamp chimney.
"When l counted them l found l
had seventy-two!"

Why is It that the memory Of
some days in the past, unmarked
by any striking event, always come
to us like the breath of spring? It
may be that on those days, in re-

A Big Discovery

A woman in the lower end of the
county was in the office the other day
and we got to talking about discover
les. One thing led to another and she
finally confessed that several years
ago she had discovered how to make
six dozen lamp chimneys out of twelve
old bottles. l expressed amazement,
almost unbelief, so she told the fol-
lowing:
zone day when l was rummaging
around in my cellar l found one dozen
champagne bottles going to waste, and
it was such a pity to see them going
to waste. took look at them and
saw they were all in good condition,
except they were full of champagne
water. Putting the twelve bottles to
one side, l went into the back yard
where there was a grapevine, and from
the grapevine l took one of those long
curly tendrils. A friend of mine hap
pened to be connected with a steel
company, and l sent him the long
curly tendril from the grapevine and
said, will you make me a duplicate
in tempered steel?' This he was glad
to do.
"In few days received my imita
ton of the grapevine. On the upper end
of this, and crosswise, it was no trick
at all to affix a clothespin. then
pressed the sharp point of the lower
end of the steel tendril into the cork of
one of the champagne bottles and
twisted the tendril around. Then, by
pulling sharply upward on the clothes
pin and at the same time holding the
bottle tightly between my knees,
which l had covered with resin to
prevent the bottle from slipping,
drew out the cork.
81 laid the cork to one side and emp
tied the contents of the bottle down
the drain, except one small tumbler-
full, which | drank.
81 then removed the cork from an
other bottle and emptied the contents
down the drain, except one small tum-
blerful, which l also drank.

other bottle and emptied the contents

Since the World War, Great
Britain's national debt increased only
two billion dollars up to the end of last
year.
In the nine years since depression
struck the United States the national
debt has increased more than twenty
five billions of dollars.
No nation in the world has ever been
SO prodigal as we in spending what we
have not earned, and worst of all the
debt problem grows more menacing
every day.
Obviously the politicians will spend
as long as the voters agree. The solu-
ton must come from public rebellion
against wasteful spending. There
must be an end to the insane delusion
that we can get something for nothing.
President Roosevelt and those like
Mr. Wallace who are in favor of con-
tinuing the present Chief Executive in
office indefinitely are now being
pointed out as third termites."
Although no organization has yet
stepped forward with any offer to
sponsor a community "buckwheat
starter" yet my column last week had
its good points. 1t even brought me a
gift of buckwheat cakes on Friday
morning, fully prepared except for the
addition of soda and warm water The
thoughtful lady was Mrs. Harold H.
Harmed, and l called her right after
breakfast to speak my piece of sincere
appreciation.
People around here keep wondering
whether or not the U. S. Postoffice
Department is financially embarrassed,
The mailboX, corner of Second and
Green streets, which was "blown up
by a frecracker on the Fourth, has
never been replaced, and that is one
of the busiest corners in town. Even
after extracting a fine of $3.50 each
from the offenders in Federal Court
several weeks ago, there is still no
sign of said mailboX.
And while wondering about mail
boxes, ETC., the proposed postoffice
building comes to mind, What has hap
pened there? Is it to be held up until
after the election next November, or
are they just waiting for winter before
they start construction work?

The Twin City Terror is now
behaving quite well. Some of
the youths in st. Paul who have
fair educations and are now work

THE "MosT GRIPPING. DISEASE

What is the most prevalent and most
crippling of all diseases?"
The answer, according to DR.. Regi-
nald Burbank, president of the American
Society for the study of Arthritis. which
now threatens the nation with more than
$500, 900 potential cripples.
DR. Burbank urges concerted effort
to establish hospitals, and clinics for those
who suffer from the disease, saying that if
adequate attention is paid to premonitory
symptoms of rheumatoid involvement, dis
ability would be avoided in great ma
jority Of cases. He finds most hospitals
loathe to admit the chronic arthritis un-
less sufficiently affluent to pay for treat
ment and calls attention to the fact that
while $1o0,O00.O0O is spent annually by
public and governmental agencies for
tuberculosis, less than $500, 900 from these
sources combat arthritis.

RUSSIA A cooUETTE

The failure of Soviet Russia, to accept
British proposals for joining the defensive
bloc in Europe does not mean that Russia
will not fight on the side of England and
France if Germany and Italy begin the
struggle.
It is far cry from the British and
French attitude of last September to the
counting of Russia that has been underway
for the last few weeks. 1t may take the
Russians little while to understand the
change that has occurred. 80
In fact, while one does not know ex-
actly why the agreement is not satisfactory
TO the Russians, it was apparent last Fall
that the British were flirting with the idea
that, by giving Germany free hand in the
East, war, if one came, would involve
Germany and Russia.
This has not developed and instead of
Germany facing Russia on the battle field,
the chances are that the fighting will in
volve England and France before Russia.
