I have read with interest the
various letters to the Editor ap-
pearlng in the Family Journal
lately. I always get a kick out
of the letters OF Rhode Island
Red. Not being a beet grower I
would not dream of disputing
his word but I wonder if he
is not eXaggerating just a
"teensie Weensie" bit when he
says the beet growers do not
make any money at all. I no.
tice that you can see these
growers on the streets of Hac-
din about every day in the
week. They look we'll fed too
and I will just bet they do not
hitch hike to town either. In
fact I wouldn't be surprised that
if you would 60 to Rhode Is
land Reds place you would see
a couple cars, a truck or two,
a tractor and a few other We
hlcleS to ride around on.
AS to trading at home, it
goes without saying that we
would all be better off if we

the merchants of Hardin have
any kick coming. I am informed
that they do their trading in
Billings too.
If anyone should ask me,
which they won't, I could tell
them one thing that would help
the farmers and that is to
keep the merchants and doc
tors and lawyers out of the
farming business. They do not
make a dime out of it. All they
do is make it that much tough
er for the ones that are trying
to make a living out of it. The
merchants and doctors and law
yers not only take every pen
ny the farmer can get a hold
of but they have to raise a lot
of stuff and make it all the
harder for the farmers to make
those pennies. 1t seems that it
is like our friend Harry Hop
Tins saws. they must be awful
damn dumb.

A device which indicates by meter
needle the height of an airplane over
the terrain Immediately below
whether water, land or buildings-at
a distance of 20 feet to 5000 feet, has
recently been developed by Russell
Conwell Newhouse of the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories. It has been hail
ed by the airlines as an outstanding
contribution to safety.
Clearance of an airplane can be
measured by bouncing" a radio wave
from the ship to the ground and back,
and measuring the time of transit.
This is obvious enough, but nobody
had ever done it, because the time in
terval is too short for direct measure
ment. The new device accomplishes
its purpose by earmarking each wave
sent out, so that by comparison of out

Gossamer, Filmy Cobweb,
Is Produced by Spiders

Gossamers are filmy cobwebs
floating in the air or clinging to
plants and other objects. Spiders
eject them like other webs, in the
form of viscid fluid. Sometimes sew
eral threads are produced stimuli
taneously.
It is supposed that the gossamers
are spun when the spider is on an
elevated point and that some of the
webs are waited by the wind as they
are elected. Not infrequently the
spider itself is carried away with
tangle Of webs. Often the single
strands Of the web are so fine that
they can not be seen readily except
when the sun is shining on them.
"Gossamer" is supposed to be de-
rived from ''gos," goose, and "som-
err" summer. It is generally as
summed, states a writer in the In
dianapolis News, that goose" in
this connection refers to the
"downy'' appearance of the gossa-
mer; but the theory has been adj
VoiiSSA eAiot tAiC WO1Q IIldy nave dl-
luded originally to the clear warm
weather which frequently occurs in
the fall when geese are supposed
to be in season and to have been
extended to the chief characteristic
of this period in some sections,
namely, the appearance of these
webs.
Far-fetched as the theory may
seem, the fact that "summer-goose"
is localism in England for s'gossa-
mer" is pointed out in confirmation.
Gossamers are in fact seen chiefly
during warm weather in the fall,
and this has led some na.uralists to
the conclusion that these cobwebs
are produced only by young spiders.
Chaucer refers to the gossamer as
an unsolved riddle, and it was once
widely believed that this phenome-
non was somehow produced by dew.

Early Bridal Furniture
Was Daintily Decorated

Many of the Household furnishings
Of the early days Of settlement Of
this country furnish charming ex-
preston of the decorative art Of
craftsmen who were called upon to
supply the needful household arti-
cles in a new land.
This Is true Of the folk art of the
early settlers who played so promi-
nent part in the colonizing Of
Pennsylvania, relates Alice r. Roll
Inns in the Los Angeles Times. Their
bride-boxes, dover chests, cup
boards, tinware, pottery, fabrics,
birth certificates, wagons, in fact,
everything they made, furnish an
expression of folk art in decorative
painting that is peculiarly their
own. Most of this painting belongs
to the Eighteenth century, although
piece may now and then be found
belonging to the Seventeenth and
again to the early part of the Nine
teenth.
This art may be seen at its best
in their bride-boxes, which were
made to hold the linen and other
small finery dear to the heart of
the prospective bride, for her per-
sonal use. They were gifts of the
bridegroom-to-be and were given at
the time of the wedding or shortly
before.
The boxes were either round or
oval in shape and were made of
thin pieces of white pine. They were
left implanted on the inside, though
sometimes lined with decorated pa
per pasted over the entire surface.
Outside they were generally covered
with solid ground color-red, yell
low, blue, green, brown, straw col
or, according to the inclination of
the painter. On this ground color
the various decorative designs were
painted in bright colors. As a rule
the painting was crude and uncon-
ventional, but the general effect has
freshness and vigor that gives it
special charm.

Large OpaI Mining Center

That Kenya colony, in East Africa,
was once large opal mining center
was disclosed by discoveries made
in a cave near Nakuru. Excavations
revealed that the cave was used by
prehistoric man as a place of burial,
the method being to dig q hole, place
a body in it and then light fire on
top. Eventually, when the dead had
to be buried, excavations were
made through the charred remains
of those inferred years before.
Among the objects found were beau
tifully carved opal, jade and rock
crystal beads. The excavators be-
lieve that traders about 1000 B. c.
went there from the Mediterranean
to buy opals from East African
mines.

is converted into the reading of

the longer the transit time, and hence
the greater the airplane's clearance
over the terrain. So the meter is cali
brated in feet, and the pilot can tell at
a glance just how high he is.

MOLES BUILD SUBWAYS FOR
BULB-EATING MICE

The ground mole, SO often accus-

able bulbs and underground parts of
plants, is not SO much the Grimm
al, as an accessory before the fact, I"
reports the Federal Bureau of Bio

animals live largely on underground

The myriad tunnels dug by the
mole, however, often become runs.
ways for the small, short-tailed pine
mice, or in some instances, the field,
or meadow, mice. These rodents are
the real offenders. They are veg
etarians and eat roots and bulbs Of
garden plants.
Because of their eating habits,
pine mice and meadow mice may be
destroyed by poison bait. Such re-.
pellents placed in the runways mere
ly cause the mole to dig new tun-
mel around it. If they ruin the ap-
pearence of lawn, and it becomes
necessary to destroy them, the
Bureau advises trapping. Details of
trapping methods for moles are dis
cussed in Farmers Bulletin No.
