The spider does not attack human
beings. Her bite is always in self
defense. You may not be aware Of
her presence at all, since she seeks
the seclusion of dark corners In old
cellars, buildings and in the woods
where she often hides under loose
bark and such places. Hundreds of
these spiders may be about you in
the woods and as long as you do
not happen to come in too close
contact with them, you will not
know of their presence.
The black widow spins an ir-
regular web of coarse silk where
it serves as protecting roof, as in

spider waits for her prey to get
entangled In the silk mesh. The
egg-sac is pear shaped with a dense
outer coat. Usually this egg-basket
Is suspended in the web; several

and often a brood of spiderlings
may be found that have Just

Uncle Rays Corner
BY RAMON COFFMAN.

The story of David and Goliath
has been popular for hundreds OF
years. It is told In the Bible in the
First Book of Kings. Here, in
shortened form, is the account
which appears in the Bible:
The Philistines stood on noun
tain on one side and Israel stood on
a mountain on the other side, and
there was valley between them.
From the camp of the Philistines
came Goliath, whose height was six
cubits and a span.
'On his head was brass helmet
and he was armed with coat OF
mail. The staff of his spear was
like a weaver's beam.
And he cried unto the armies
of Israel, Choose a man for you
and let him come down to me. If
he be able to kill me, then will we
be your servants. If 1 slay him,
then shall you serve u.s.
When Saul and all Israel heard
these words, they were greatly
afraid. But David said to Saul
Let no mans heart fail because of
him. will 60 and fight the Philis-
tine
David took his staff in his
hand and chose five smooth stones
out of the brook, and his sling was
in his hand. He advanced toward
the Philistine.
las he drew near. Goliath saw
him and disdained him. for he was
but youth. The Philistine said.
Am dog that thou contest to me
with staves?'
David put his hand in his bag
and took out q stone and slung it.

and then he would know that he
had not been caught, and he had q
very special reason for wanting
Farmer Browns Boy to think that
he was caught. You see, he wanted
Farmer Browns Boy to visit those
traps the next morning. He hoped
he would take BoWser the Hound
with him. If possible, he would
make sure that he did.
So, very patiently all night long
Old Man Coyote waited not far
from Farmer Browns dooryard. He
didn't even take the trouble to get
something to eat. He was too much
interested in making his plans.

Coyote did not finish, but there was

cooked up at the moon. It was very

dark, deep plan that concerned

I axe My Word for 1t
- BY FRANK COLBY.
Surprise Word of the Week

The word TRAVAIL, meaning
"agony; great suffering" ranks high
among the familiar words most
frequently mispronounced. The
commonly heard "truh-VAIL" is not
good usage.
The words travail and travel are
sisters -under-the-skin, both having
come into English from the French
word TRAVELLER (trav-ah-YAY), ito
toll or labor" This is evidence, per-
haps, of the severe hardships of
travelling before the days of modern
transportation.
y Be sure to accent travail on the
drst syllable, and note that the
second choice pronunciation is ex-
sctly like that of the word travel:
= First choice; TRAV-ai
Second choice: TRAVEL.

It's Hard to Believe

Butte: What is the origin Of the
word CHIFFON?-Mrs. w.
Answer: Chiffon was borrowed
from the French. In that language
1t means :. tprepare for a shock)
"a piece of old and worthless
rag; shredded rag used for making
paper" And the French word
chiffonnier means "a rag picker"
Cater, also, "a chest of drawers.
Moreover, it's hard to believe that
the first choice pronunciation of
chiffon is not the widely heard "shi-
FAHN,' a pronunciation that most
dictionaries do not even list. The
first choice of all authorities is
SH1F-ahn. The second choice us a
tossup between the French shee-
FAW(Nb with the nasal ~" and

reason for not digging up all of
Farmer Browns Boys traps after

dig them up just to show Farmer

afraid of any traps that he might
set when an idea came to him that

Hound over to his home in the far
corner of the Green Meadows and
he knew that she had done this so
that Farmer Browns Boy might find
it. He knew that Granny Fox would
watch where she could see all that
went on there, SO, of course, she
had seen Farmer Browns Boy set
those terrible traps. She would be
very sure that Old Man Coyote
couldn't get out without getting
caught, and he wanted her to con-

Increase in Sugar

expected by the department of agri-
culture.
A sugar beet crop Of 12,784O 900 tons
and 7073,000 tons of sugar cane for
both sugar and seed is foreseen.
The anticipated beet crop would be
"a percent greater than in 194l and
about 4 percent more than the pre-

CARE OF FARM
MACHINES VITAL

with the output o, new farm ma
chinery for 1913 cut by the war pro-
auction board TO 20 percent of 1910
production, IL is more essential than
ever that farmers take the best pos
sible care of present machinery and
equipment, says o. w. Monson of the
rural engineering department at Mon
tana State college
1t is especially desirable, he said,
that implements be given as much
winter protection as possible Putting
implements under cover will go far in
protecting them from damage by rain
and snow. If machinery must be left
outdoors, 1t should be placed away
from buildings so snow will drift
through it and not over it.
While output of repair parts next
year will be 100 percent of the 1910
production, nevertheless farmers will
be wise in checking equipment for
needed parts and placing orders early,
Monson said.
Other steps which he suggests for
protecting machinery during the win
ter included smearing heavy oil on ex-
posed metal parts, painting wood and
metal surfaces, blocking up binder and
combine platforms to keep them from
twisting or sagging under a load Of
snow, removal of chaff and dirt SO
machines will dry quickly, loosening
tension on all springs, removing and
storing in a dry place all canvases
from binders and combines.

WHAT TO DO IF
YOU SHOULD SEE
A PLANE CRASH
INSTRUCTIONS COVER NOTIFICA-
TON OF PROPER MILITARY
AUTHORITIES

An eyewitness to an army airplane
crash normally would want to do
something about it. Even a resource
full and calm individual would in most
cases be at a loss to take the proper
first step first and then to follow that
step with others.
Pointing out that lives and vital
equipment may depend on the pre-
paredness of Montana ranchers, farm
ers and businessmen, Lieutenant Don
aid NJ. Wilson. stationed at the Great
Falls army air base. recently told an
audience at Fort Benton what to do
when plane crashes. The instructions
cover notification of the proper civil
and military authorities, organization
of the rescue party and facts to be
noted at the scene of the crash.
Lieutenant Wilson said that despite
the success of the safety drive insti-
tuted this year by the air forces, the
multiplying number of planes in the
air makes some accidents inevitable.

pointed out, centerS at Great Falls

and even in the triangle there are
stretches of terrain, which could not
be reached by military party for
hours. The lieutenant said that as
flying units arrive in increasing num-
bers, the need for cooperation between
civilians and military will grow more
imperative.
The following specific rules were of
when a plane crash occurs
l. Report Immediately to local
police or sheriff. This report should go
next to the army air base at Great
Falls. Call Great Falls 7651, reverse
