"ALL I DID WAS MY WORK," SAYS HEROINE Miss Grace Nixon of Philadelphia is finding heroism quite embarrassing and is actually annoyed at the plans to have her valor rewarded. She was on duty as night telephone operator at the plant of the Atlantic Refining Company when a big fire broke out at 12:30 Sunday morning. She and another operator were at their switchboard when the fire started with a deafening explosion. The concussion blew the headpiece from the other girl, who fainted. Flames licked the windows a few feet from her, but Miss Nixon stuck to her post. She not only operated the regular switchboard, but also the fire alarm board working desperately at her post of duty with the other operator lying unconscious at her feet. In the midst of her work, with the flames blistering the window frames, firemen dashed in, rescued the other girl, and told Miss Nixon to follow. She declined, sticking to the work, until the last call came, with two firemen carrying extinguishers, guarding her. After the danger was all over, Miss Nixon took a taxi home. "Nonsense," she said, when the committee of praise called, "any person will attend to their duty. I am paid for being a telephone operator and all I did was my work."—New York Globe. An American traveler entered into conversation with a Boer farmer during a long and tiresome train journey, as an Englishman tells it. As is the way of Americans, he started boasting of the U. S. A. "Believe me," he said, "we had a cabbage so large over there that its shadows darkened Broadway. Suddenly it faded and decayed, and in time it was found that the rabbits in Australia had eaten away the roots." "Some cabbage!" said the Boer. "But when I was on the farm in South Africa we had an ostrich that ate an ink pad and numbering machine, and for the next three years every egg was dated and numbered." 1104 West Center Street All kinds of Cement Work.

Runty Poultry Stock Is Cause of Loss to Owner Runtiness is not so conspicuous in the poultry flock as it is among other farm animals, yet it is a factor to be considered, and it is possible that in some cases it is of great importance. Certain it is that undersized fowls are not desirable, and it has been the experience of many farmers and poultrymen that they can be almost, if not entirely eliminated. This is the conclusion that may be arrived at after a study of the figures and comments obtained by a preliminary investigation by the United States department of agriculture. Undersized Fowls Are Not Desirable The information was obtained from nearly 1000 farmers to whom questionnaires were sent. Although these farmers were considered to be better than the average they reported that 7 per cent of their animals were under-sized to such a degree as to be called runty. This means, if the percentage holds true for all farms of the country, that more than 14,000,000 animals, not including feathered stock, are runts. In addition 6-12 per cent of the poultry on these farms was under-sized, which means that there is, perhaps, even a higher percentage for the total farms of the United States. Inbreeding and poor mating, as a cause, are the principal factors distinguishing runtiness in feathered stock from that in other farm animals. It is the consensus of opinion of 474 poultry owners, in all parts of the country, that the following causes are chiefly responsible for the runts found in feathered flocks: Per cent Poor feeding ... 17.9 Inbreeding and poor matings ... 13.7 Inferior breeding stock ... 13.1 Parasites, especially lice ... 12.4 Neglect ... 11.4 Poor housing ... 7.9 Late hatching ... 6.5 Overcrowding ... 5.9 Disease (roup, diarrhea, etc.) ... 5.3 Low vitality of chicks ... 3.4 Selecting poor eggs ... 3.4 Total ... 100.0 Early hatching is of more importance. Principles of Animal Growth 1. Every animal has in the first part of its life a natural growing period. This varies from a few months, in the case of birds and most small creatures, to more than year with cattle, horses, and other large animals. It therefore pays to get rapid growth in the early period of life. 2. Heredity is an important element in an animal's ability to grow rapidly and to reach the desired size. Well-bred beef steers often weigh more than 1000 pounds before 18 months old, whereas scrubs frequently fail to reach 1000 pounds at any time on the best of feed and care. The same laws that cause a turkey to grow larger than a chicken affect the size of individuals in the same species and even in the same class and variety. 3. Interference with the nervous system and the vital organs is a serious drain on the vitality of an animal. Lousy hogs make poorer gains than those free of parasites. Immature heifers are stunted by being bred. Castration, however, is an exception. A capon grows more rapidly and reaches greater size than a rooster, and castration seems to have the same effect on most meat animals. 4. Nutrition, of course, is a prime factor in the question of runty live stock. The proper development of the young begins with the feeding of the pregnant mother. There must be no interruption of feeding, since periods of semistarvation, most common in winter, may keep an animal from reaching normal size. Watering is also important in the proper development of an animal. 5. Fatigue, exposure and overcrowding may retard growth. Physical deformity and certain mental acts, such as timidity or sluggishness, likewise may interfere with the ability of an animal to obtain the necessary feed, especially in competition with other stock that is normal, alert, and aggressive. The conclusion to be drawn from this study of the runt problem is that these under-developed animals are not a necessary evil as many farmers have long supposed. Following certain well-defined principles will eliminate almost entirely undesirable and unprofitable specimens. In the cook's absence the young mistress of the house undertook, with the help of an inexperienced maid, to get the Sunday luncheon. The flurried maid, who had been struggling in the kitchen with a coffee grinder which refused to work, confessed that she had forgotten to wash the lettuce. "Well, never mind, Marie," said the considerate mistress. "Go on with the coffee and I'll do it." Where do you keep the soap?" In Japan the metric system became legal in 1913. Foleys Friendly Fancies ON FINDING A WITHERED FLOWER IN AN OLD BOOK I found between the pages of a book A pressed and withered, unremembered flower. Plucked, who shall say in what beloved nook Or place in some long since forgotten hour! An unremembered flower, that had its sweet And passing dream, and then was laid away And if it died or if 'twas made complete, Now who shall say? ON FINDING A WITHERED FLOWER IN AN OLD BOOK I found between the pages of a book A pressed and withered, unremembered flower, Plucked, who shall say in what beloved nook Or place in some long since forgotten hour; An unremembered flower, that had its sweet And passing dream, and then was laid away— And if it died or if 'twas made complete, Now who shall say? Some sweet and tenderest significance Breathed with its fragrance ere it was this dust, Laid there, perchance, with some shy, blushing glance Upon it; as the symbol of sweet trust Pledged with a lover's kiss; and when the day Was gone and passion was no longer hot, Did the trust like this flower, crumble away To be forgot? Like to a dream or some forgotten trust With high ambition, gone from mind until We come upon its unremembered dust One after day and wish once more the thrill Of its long faded beauty and delight Might send the pulses leaping for the hour— So, as I turned the pages, was the sight Of this withered flower. Some dream was wrought about it; some shy look, Some memory glad and joyously complete; And this remembrance of it in a book The substance of the dream made captive, sweet With a plucked blossom, gathered in that hour When life had nothing more of joy to give— Did the dream fade and wither like the flow— Or did it live? I found between the pages of a book A pressed and withered, unremembered flower, Plucked, who shall say in what beloved nook Or place in some long since forgotten hour By some one never to be known—an hour To keep forever sweet or pledge some trust; And did the dream abide, or like the flower Wither and be dust? OLD TRUNK REVEALS TELEPHONE HISTORY From an old trunk formerly owned by George C. Maynard, who established the first telephone system in Washington, D.C., same interesting relics of the early days of the telephone at the national capital have been brought to light by the editor of the Transmitter, published by the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company. Not the least interesting item is an inventory of the telephone lines maintained by Maynard in Washington during the late '70's, a few years after his enterprise was undertaken. These lines include: "Brick yard, gas office, Wheatley's State Dept. to Presidt's Ho., Presidt's Ho. to Treasury Dept., Treasy Dept. to Agric. Dejt. and the Med. Mus. to Surg. Genl's Office," for a total of 72,911 feet or 13.8 miles. Some indication of the remarkable development of the telephone in less than half a century is afforded in the fact that this crude system has grown until the company of which it was the forerunner now has 1085,974 miles of overhead and underground wire. NEW CHAMPION COW MAKES APPEARANCE DELAVAN, Wis., Nov. 30—A new milk producing champion for the territory east of the Rockies has been discovered, according to an announcement today by the Holstein Friensian association. She is a Holstein cow, Kolrain Finderne Bess, owned by F. F. Field, Dutchland Holstein Farms, Brockton, Mass. Her record is 32,563 pounds of milk in one year, slightly more than sixteen and a quarter tons; and in butter fat she produced the equivalent of 1,281 pounds of butter. In milk production only three other cows have exceeded therecord of Bess, Segis Pieterje Prospect of Seattle, Wash., set the world's mark of more than 37,000 pounds of milk in one year. Tilly Alcartra of California, is second, and Zarilda Clothilde III. She is a Holstein cow, Kolrain Finderne Bess, owned by F. F. Field, Dutchland Holstein Farms, Brockton, Mass.

PUENTE HILLS Gas continues to work on the pumping equipment and to date the real production of Mahala No. 1 is still more or less of an estimate. When the well produces unhindered it makes better than 300 barrels daily. As soon as the pumping can be done without the gas bothering this well will surprise both its owners and knockers. The oil is running 25 gravity. Gasoline is being produced by condensation in the gas line. The Mahala has a whole refining and producing plant in one well. Drilling on No. 2 started several days ago. The St. Helens Petroleum did not stop for the showing at 2100 feet. Drilling is now at 2300 in sandy brown shale. LOS ANGELES Drilling on the Eddystone Oil Corporation's Burkart No. 1 is now at 4000 feet. The formation is sandy shale but no showings have been encountered. Beauty at Eagle Rock is putting in 6 inch at 2600 feet. BUY IT IN ANAHEIM. Prices on all U.S. Tires and Tubes Reduced November 10th Ask your Dealer.
