Cera Belt Airalla.It is hard for a farmer in the heart

of the corn belt to consider seriously the demands of any other crop, yet if be will Btudy alfalfa a little he will see that he is acoepting no inferior plant when he puts it In place of some Of his corn fields.

Alfalfa will make a total yield of from four to six tons per acre. Tak­ing five tons per acre as a standard and calling the hay worth 312 per ton, there is thus derived from that acre a gross revenue of 360 To equal that amount the field must yield 120bushela of corn which must sell at 50 cents per bushels Furthermore, according to the amount of available and diges­tible carbohydrates and proteiu pro­duced by these crops the alfalfa will yield fully three times as much pro­tein as the corn and douole as much carbohydrate. Another advautage In favor of the alfalfa is that it feeds in ■oil far below the corn rootpasture and fills all the land with nitrogen gathered from the air —Illinois Farm­ers’ Institute.

The case grew out of the killing of a horse being driven by Barnett, when another rig driven by Mr Seng collided with it in the public highway neat Roberts. Mr. Barnett charged that Mr. Seng was at fault in the accident and was reckless in his driving, and the jury evidently accepted his view of the matter.

Thus far January hasn’t been giving us much fair weather. Even the Suu days met with cloudy, threatening weather and yet we rejoice to note the continuous interest and enthusiasm manifested and were happily surprised to greet bo many at Sunday School and all the services. Who Is It that doubts that it is Impossible to keep our Sunday School up to the present enrollment? Quit it. We bad them aud cao and will keep them. Up then and be a smiling and give a cheerful invitation.

We are looking hopefully forward to next Sunday’s Services. Its the last Sunday in January and we believe that the month will give us one fair Sunday. This being our hope we are expecting to make next Sunday the olimax of all services. The Sunday School will exceed its enrollment. Do you believe it? The services will be the best. Pray the Lord that this may be true. We are sure of choir music next Sunday and possibly a number of male quartet selections Make your plans now and bring the whole family to all the services Sun­day Sermon themes are—morning, "Phrophets in the Pew,” evening, Evangelistic services—subject, "A nut for you to crack.” We extend a a cordial invitation to all who have no church home

George F. Tullock, of Rockford, a practical farmer and slock raiser, de­livered an address upon “Soil. Alfalfa and Live Stock.” Mrs. J M. Daniels, ofGreenville, also delivered an address Some of her remarks were as follows, her address being upon “The Educa­tion of the Boy and Girl”:

We must not look upon the educa­tion of yesterday as a failure, as many people do, for it lias brought us to where we are. The best gift of all is the gift of the commoo schools.

The children should have an educa­tion that helps them in their every day life. It is not the big letters after the name that makes the man, but M C., master of character, and, M. I , master of industry are the degrees that count.

How can we expect to keep the boy on the farm when we teach them in school how to hold down a 310 clerk job?

We should give the girls a chance to learn bow to be home makers. Over 90 per cent of the women get married and are homemakers the rest of their life

The children connot do their best work when they are not happy. A pleasant happy disposition goes a long ways in life. It should be taught io the school. Some of the other things that should be taught are. dignity, courtesy, kindness and honesty.

At the present time only 15 per cent of the money spent on schools is used for the lower grades, and still there is 92 per cent of the children in those grades

Special Crop Bulletins.

The business of farming used to be among the most difficult of all com­mercial Industries. It used to be; but It Isn’t now. although a good many farm ers still make It so

The one thing that made farming moet difficult was the fact that each farm er was absolutely thrown upon his own resources; he had only his own experiences from which to profit. When any of ns must work and build only upon our own experiences. It's a long, hard and doubtful Journey to- ■access!

But conditions have changed. And th is change has come shout within very recent time. Today the wise farm er can learn exactly what to do. and how to do It by the practical ex­periences of others. For today the farm er has not only the numerous ex­perim ent stations to guide him, but also the exact details of what o ther farm ers are accomplishing, and how they are making successes of their farm s The results of every farm er in ■very sta te , under every possible con­dition and with every variety of crops, la now available to the ambitious far­mer. The successes and failures of thousands of others, and the rigid analysis of such successes and fail­ures, form the basis upon which the farm er can now work.

The agricultural publications have been largely Instrum ental In standard­ising farming. These mediums have been the direct means of fraternails- lng farming, bringing all fanners In­to an Intimate, helpful contact with each other.

But of all the Interesting, Instruc­tive m atter that is now available to the farm er, there Is probably nothing tha t has become of more Importance to farm ing than the Special Crop Bulletins, edited and Issued by the Middle W est Soil Improvement Com­mittee.

Under the direction of Professor Henry O. Bell, formerly professor of agronomy and manager of farm s of the University of Maine, this commit­tee Issues special crop bulletins that analyze and clearly explain the proper care of the soil In Its drainage, and fertilization, and how crops should be rotated to produce the best yields and other essentials that Insure the high­est productiveness of th s soil.

The special crop bulletins are based wholly upon actual experiences of suc­cessful farm ers and the results of ex­perim ent stations. No theories or generalisations are to be found in these special crop bulletins; only so- tngl facts baaed upon actual demon­strations, well illustrated, and In very readable form.

Now the purpose of this Middle W est Soil Improvement committee and the ir bulletins Is to help the far­m er In caring for his soil, and to ■how him In s very tangible way how to get the largest crop yield of best quality every year. The bulletins, which are sent to the farm ers without any coat whatever, oontaln no adver­tising and make no attem pt a t selling anything. These bulletins are intend­ed to show, among other things, the perm anent and profitable advantage of fertilizers. The bulletins contain very valuable Information for farm ­ers They will w arrant every en ter­prising farm er in sending for and reading them.

The potato bulletin recently Issued is an excellent Illustration of how valuable these publications are.

H ere are various extracts from the potato bulletin:

The Potato Is a Money Maker.The Irish potato Is a staple of

American diet. There were enough potatoes consumed In the United S tates In 1911 to allow one 8 ounce potato a day throughout the whole year for each man, woman and child. Truly, the potato Is the food of the people! The portion of the American meal made up by this vegetable, alone, amounted to over 300,000,000 bushels.

The production of this Important vegetable Is becoming an Important part of the business of farmers, great and small.

W ith such an enormous national ap­petite to appease, there seems to be good reason why thousands of the fa r­m ers of the middle west should be growing a t least s few seres of this crop. W ith modern methods the po­tato ts a money m fker for the farmer.A couple of acres should produce ap­proximately 300 bushels—enough for his own use with a few hundred Bush­els to eell.

The Type to Grow.The type of potato that finds great­

est favor on the market Is one that Is regular la shape, whose alia approxi­mates t to 4 inches In length, 2 to m Inches In width and which weighs from 8 to * ounces. This potato should ho oval (a shahs and should possess a •Booth skin of fine texture. The eyes should bo comparatively shallow, poop sped potatoes occasion a great deal of loss In preparation tor cooking. Since a large amount of the potatoes have to ha pared away, la order to ght at the bottom of the eye spevtoeo.

* pqtgto groyror should not plaat the' crop on soil to which barn mar nure, lime or ashes have been applied. It la true that barn manure and ashes •apply plant food constituents which are made use of by the potato, but both, as well as lime, produce pa alka­line reaction In the soil, which favors ths growth of potato scab. When po­tatoes follow clover, which has boon turned'under, there is a slight Sppr reaction In the soil which goes a long way la preventing the scab disease. The seed bed should be worked down mellow by continued disking and har­rowing If the ground la too compact, the growing tubers find difficulty In pushing out Into the soil, and pa a consequence will be misshapen.

The Fertilizer.The plant food of the potato la moet

profitably supplied by turning under green manure, supplemented by fer­tilisers. The potato takes up a fairly large amount of nitrogen, a good sup­ply of phosphoric acid and a large supply of potash; henoo a fertiliser supplying t to 5 per cent ammonia. 8 to 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 5 to 10 per oent potash, according to the type of soil, has been found most profitable.

In applying the fertiliser. It has been found that quantities of from 1.000 to 3.000 pounds per acre have given beet paying results. On one Illinois farm 800 pounds of s high grade complete fertiliser were used with great success. In the state of Maine, where almost 25.000,000 bush­els are produced annually, the appli­cation of fertiliser on the good soil of that state varies from 1,000 to 2,400

HOW TO INCREA8E THE YIELD OF HAY.

First—Drain.(s) Open all surface drains.(b) Bee that tile drains are work­

ing.(c) Open sufficient new drains by

ditcher, plow, spade or dynamite.Second—Increase Organic Matter In

Soil.(a) By plowing In second crop, and

by applying liberal amounts of bam manure.

Third—Control the Growth of Weeds(a) Bring land into cultivation ones

la tour, five or six years.(b) By cutting and burning peren­

nial weeds at flowering time, before seed has set

Fourth—Increase the Fertility.(a) By bringing land Into Ullage

onoe In three, four, five or six years. Considerable fertility applied to the crops grown on this land will remain ter the hay crop.

(b) Apply a spring dressing of sati­able fertiliser sa agon as the grass has begun to grow. Since the hay crop Is

pounds per acre. W here a liberal a p plication Is used. It Is no uncommon thing tp see a yield of 250 to 400 bush els of potatoes per sera.

How to Apply the Fertilizer.At least three-quarters of the fen

tlllzer should be drilled In with a wheat drill before planting. This dis­tributee the plant food throughout the •oil where the tiny potato roots may find It early In th e ir growth. The tu ­bers form on separate roots which cluster under the plant, while the feeding roots stre tch off Into the soil tn search of available plant food.

Contrary to common belief, the gen­eral dlstrHmUon of fertilizer between the rows of potatoes does not tend to spread , the growing tubers, but tends to provide s b e tter distribution of food for the growing plants.

The rem aining quarter of the fer­tilizer application should be applied through the fertilizer hopper attached to the potato planter. The beat mod­ern p lanters are ao constructed that the fertilizer dropped in the rows is mixed with the soil before the seed piece falls. This protects the potato frqm any Injury through coming tn di­rect contact with th s fertilizer.

The Middle W est Soil Improvement Committee sends these bulletins from their office, 913-917 Postal Telegraph Building, Chicago. Illinois.

The address by Mrs. Mc­Daniels called for the warmest praise aod a Domestic Science Club was also effected with Mrs. H. J. Carter as president and Mrs. J. K. Cook as sec­retary.

PR ESBY T ER IA N ^ H U R C D BUR NSThe First Presoyterlan church a

handsome modern structure and the home of a happy prosperous congrega­tion was burned to the ground Wed­nesday afternoon. The fire Is suppos­ed to have originated from an explos­ion of the fumade. When discovered the fire had made such headway that nothing could be done to save the structure and all efforts were directed toward saving the parsonage which is on the same lot and only a few feet from the church. The organization sustains a 420,000.00 loss. All that remains of the ohurch Is a smoul ling heap of ruins. By the most heroic efforts the parsonage was saved. This disastrous fire only serves to aocent the neccessity of more adequate tire protection. A hand pump aud three lines'of hose are wholly insufficient to fight a fire when it Is your property that Is being consumed.

Township Diagram Showing How th* Farmer* Would Be Benefited by the Improvement of the Main Roads.

By S. E. BRADT,Chairman Good Roads Committee Illi­

nois Bankd/s’ Association.The federal office of public roads,

Washington, D. C.. by careful Inves­tigation ascertained that 16 to 10 per cent, of our roads carry 86 to 90 par cent of the traffic.

We have In Illinois about 96,000 miles ef public highways divided among 1,600 townships; thus averag­ing slightly fewer than 60 miles of road to each township. If 10 per cent of the 60 miles were Improved, we would have an average of 12 miles of Improved roads In each township, that la, sufficient to crosa the township both north and south and east and west.

Farmer Chief Beneficiary.When the Improving of this 20 per

cent, of main traveled highways la suggested, the first Impression la tha t It la largely In the In terest of the au­tomobile owner. Is tha t so? Let ua see how much the farm er la benefited by the Improvement, aa shown by the above township diagram. By actual count 44 of the 144 quarter sections, over 30 per cent, (dark shading), front directly on the Improved road, m arked A. You will also find that 64 of the 144 quarter sections (light shading), nearly 46 per cent., lie on a road that la only one mile d istan t from the im­proved road and m arked B on the diagram, leaving only 36 quarter sec­tions (no shading), 26 per cent., fa rth ­er than one mile from the improved road. This would mean tha t over 86,- 400 of the 261,800 farm ers In Illinois would have an Improved road run­ning past their doors, while an addi­tional 129,600 farm ers would live on a road only one mile from thla Improv­ed road.

Iq; order to ascertain how much the farm ers living in each township would use this improved road, let us assume that you have a farm er living on each quarter section and a village In the cen ter of the township, where the Im­proved roads cross. All of these 144 farm ers In making one trip to town would travel a total of 432 miles, of which 292 miles would be traveled over the 12 miles of Improved roads, while only 140 miles would be over the unimproved roads, tha t Is, 67 Vi per cent, of the traffic from the farm s to town would be over 20 per cent of the highways. Add to this 67^ per cent, the through traffic, a part of which la farm er traffic, and tt is evident that the farm er will get his share of the benefit and also tha t the estim ate of 86 to 90 per* cent, of the traffic on 20 per cent, of the roada is correct. Even the farm er living In the corner of the township in going to town uses the Improved road Just as much aa the fan n er living on the Improved road at the point where hla road crosses the Improved road.

It is not necessary that the improv­ed roads should run through the cen­ter of the township or cross each oth­er at right angles in order to give the approxim ate benefit to the farm er, as Indicated In this diagram.

In the above diagram, we show roads laid out on all section lines, making a total of 72 miles to the township, where as in most townships some section lines are without roads, the average in the sta te being only 60 miles of highways to the township.

Would Reach Every Village.This 20 per cent, of the roads cross­

ing each Township in both directions would of necessity reach practically every village and hamlet In the state and connect with all through high- ways of adjointng states. ThiB system would thus be used by the en tire frav- ellng public and would ultim ately prove a great benefit to the entire population of the Btate.

Twenty-five per cent, of our total road mileage would amount to about19.000 miles, of which about 3,000 miles are already Improved, leaving16.000 miles yet to Improve

These main roads In order to meet the constantly Increasing traffic at a minimum of expense for m ainten­ance Bhould have a hard surface, such aa la fonnd In concrete or. brick con­struction.

If concrete, which Is beginning to be need in road building, shall be found to meet the requirements, the •vara** cost of tbia road from 14 to I t feet In width wifi be from 89,000 to |10,000 per mile, or a total of approx­imately $160,000,000 for the 116,000 miles. By spreading the payment over n period of 20 years, the annual ooet would be $7,600,000. We are now raising In this state $7,000,000 an­nually for road and bridge work, of which at least $1,600,000 la on hap> haaard work, with no benefits.

For 15 Days, beginning January 25th, you can buy Boots, • Shoes, Overshoes, Rubbers and Leggjnt (or less money than you eVer bought them for before.

Several of W estern Canada new s­papers coming to hand during the last p a r t of the year 1812 contained Items of news such as th e following, speaking of the Christm as work In the postofflee:

"Other years have been heavy and the employees have had plenty of op­portunity of learning w hat It was to work overtime, but the pas t has had nothing equal to the p r e s e n t Forty extra men have been employed (In Winnipeg), and mall t ra ins have been run special. The Increase In the mall this year has been due to the enor­mous Influx of people Into W estern Canada during the season, and also the general prosperity which th e prairie provinces have enjoyed. To the la t te r cause has been due the heavy Increase In the num ber of p a r ­cels which have been shipped to the old country and E astern Canada."

The above ex tract taken from a Winnipeg paper gives a fair Idea of the g rea t work th a t the Canadian postoffices have had all through the western prairies. During the pas t year hundreds of new postoffices were established, many of them a t rem ote points from the railway’, but all forced upon the country on account of the new se tt lem en ts th a t have taken place during the year. I t Is said of the Canadian governm ent th a t In Its Immigration and se tt lem en t policy there is nothing left undone to take care of the people and the ir welfare, w hether i t be In the new town along a new line of railway or In the re­motest h a m le t This solicitude and care a re not confined to the postof- fice, bu t with every branch th a t has to do w ith organizing new districts. Bridges have been built, roads con­structed, the d is t ric t policed, and a dozen o the r things have to be done and are done. Is i t any wonder th a t with the splendid land, the high yielding land, the land th a t Is free to the hom esteader or open to purchase a t reasonable prices from the railway and land companies, th a t the Cana­dian immigration records for 1912 will show arr ivals of upwards of 100,000, one-half of th is being from the United States. The new l i te ra tu re being Bent out by th e im m igration branch a t Ottawii^ and Its agencies th roughout the United S ta tes deals with many of the new and in teresting fea tures th a l will m ark the work of th a t branch for the year 1913.—Ad­vertisement.

Touching the Cardinal.At the Democratic convention In

Baltimore last summ er two of the ser- g e a n t s - a t - a r n i B were Ohioans, Col. John Bolan of Toledo and Capt. Joseph Dowling of Dayton. Bolan is th e wit who laid down the maxim th a t “anny man who parts his hair In the middle la no Dlmmycrat.”

W hen Cardinal Gibbons had finish­ed the opening prayer, he descended from the rostrum and made his way toward the door. As he neared the exit where the two Ohioans were on grard . Bolan whispered:

“Joe, touch him whin he passes ye "

"All right, colonel,” replied Dowling, with an Innocent air. "W hat pocket has he got It In?"—Popular Maga­zine.

Springfield. — A ttorney General S tead 's opinion requested by Gov­erno r Deneen Is to the effect th a t Governor-elect Dunne eannot take of­fice until the resu lt of his election ns certified to the general assembly by the secretary of s ta te Is declared by the legislature.

"This declaration of the result ,” says the a t to rney general In his opin­ion, "Is IndispenBlble for the purpose of consummating the De Ju re title of the several executive officers. 1 am of the opinion th a t the officers now In office must hold until the gen­eral assembly shall, in m anner pre­scribed by the constitution, declare who are elected the ir successors, re ­spectively."

One Question Unanswered.While Attorney General Stead

meet* some of the constitutional ques­tions raised, he does not meet one of the contentions of William L. O’Con­nell, Governor Dunne s representative, who brought the problem to Spring- field, that under one provision of the s ta te constitution the s ta te offleers- elect, "shall hold office for the term of four years from the second Mon­day of January next af te r election."

The a t to rney general bases his finding on the constitutional provision that " the election re tu rns shall be certified to the general assembly, opened and announced In the p res ­ence of a m ajortiy of both houses, and th a t the person having the h igh­est num ber of votes shall be declared duly elected."

"No provision of the constitu t ion ,” says the opinion, "defining the m e th ­od of procedure can be rejected with­out nullifying In p a r t the constitu ­tion."

Must Declare Ballot Officially.Continuing, the opinion says:"T he decision of this question de­

pends upon the re tu rn s which are sealed up and d irec ted to the speak­er of the house. Until the seals are broken and until the resu lt Is pub­lished and declared In the presence of a jo in t assembly It cannot be known officially who are elected to the several executive offices. The sole au thori ty under the constitution to find and determ ine this fac t Is vested In the general assembly.

"Until the general assembly finds this fact no one excepting the execu­tive officers now In office has the r ight to exercise the functions or to d ischarge the duties of such offices, respectively, i t follows th a t a per­son not having been declared elected to a constitu t ional executive office has no r ight to dem and the books, pa­pers, documents, files and Insignia of the office which he claims.

“ As the corallory it follows tha t the person now In possession of the office cannot legally su r ren d er possession to any one other than a person who has been declared elected to th a t office by a joint meeting of the general a s ­sembly."

Deneen Cannot Retire.This Is tan tam ount to a declaration

th a t Governor Deneen cannot legally re t i re to permit Governor-elect Dunne to take office. Governor Deneen says he would like to step out, but will not do so unlawfully.

The a t torney general cites an analogous case from the suprem e court of W est Virginia, where the s ta te constitution Is said to be p rac­tically lndentical with tha t of Illi­nois. In 1889 Governor-elect Goff was not perm itted to take the office held by Governor Wilson of W est Virginia. He had a plurality of votes In the election but could not take office, ac­cording to the court, until the result had been declared by the general as­sembly. In th a t case a contest filed by Candidate Fleming, who opposed Goff In the election, caused the delay. Governor Dunne's r igh t to the office Is uncontested.

Matter Plumber* to Meet.The governor of Illinois will opet

the convention of the Illinois Master Plum bers In Springfield on January 84 with an address of welcome. Follow­ing the address of the governor, Mayor John 8. Schnepp will exteud the greetings of the city to the visiting plumbers. The convention will con­tinue through three days.

Early In the convention, the resolu­tions committee probably will be In­structed to draw up* resolutions favor­ing the appointment of a plumber to the membership of the state board of health and advocating the establish­ment of a state examining board for plumbers. Many m aster plumbers throughout the sta te are now advo­cating these two m easures and It Is thought they will be embodied readily In resolutions of the convention.

The three days’ meeting will close with a banquet and ball In the 8L Nicholas hotel on Thursday night, January 30. Provision Is being made , for the serving of 700 delegates and ladles at the banquet. The ball will j begin at ten o'clock

ARCHBALD WROTE TO LAWYER

Held That Charge of Combination InViolation of T rust Law Was NotSustained In Creamery PackageCompany’* Cate.

Washington, Jan . 22.—A decision of the commerco court, rendered while Judge Robert W. Archbald was on th a t bench and which figured in his im peachm ent trial, was reversed Mon­day by the Suprem e court of the Uni­ted States.

The decision of the com merce court was favorable to the railroads, and It developed in the sena te trial tha t while p reparing the opinion Archbald had w ritten Attorney Helm Bruce of the Louisville & Nashville road, a par­ty to the litigation, asking supple­m entary Information about a brief the lawyer had filed.

The case Involved an order of the In ters ta te com merce commission for reduced class ra te from New Orleans to Mobile and o the r Alabama in ter io r points to stand effective. The order was overruled by the com merce court. The decision is now reversed by the Supreme court.

The theory advocated by the govern­m ent tha t the in te rs ta te com merce commission has absolute jurisdiction over evidence in ra te cases, to the exclusion of courts, particularly the com merce court, was s truck down, however, by the Suprem e court In de­ciding th a t the com merce court had a right to examine a claim tha t there was no re levant evidence presented to the commission upon which It could have based its order in this case.

Michael Mehan was the proud pos­sessor of a brand new Bilk high hat. At the wake of his dearest enemy he had guarded it carefully, and as a consequence was strolling home with the tile unscathed. As he passed the site of a building operation, a lady acquain tance nodded pleasantly.

With an osten ta tious wave of the hat, which exhibited it to excellent ad­vantage. Michael bowed. At the same moment a brick sailed down from an upper floor and bounced from his bared skull. Upon coming to he in­quired an i lously for the hat. A by­s ta n d e r restored it unharmed. Mike felt the egg-sized lump on his head occasioned by the Impact of the brick, and then regarded his undam aged tile. “Begorry." he sighed in satisfaction, “it 's lucky it is 1 saw the loidy in to im e!"

ECZEMA CAME ON SCALP

Lebanon, O.—"My eczema sta r ted on my thigh with a small pimple. It also cam e on my scalp. I t began to Itch and I began to scratch. For eighteen or tw enty years I could not tell w ha t I passed through with th a t awful Itching. I would scra tch until the blood would soak through my un­derwear, and I couldn’t ta lk to my friends on the s t ree t but I would be digging and punching th a t spot, until I was very much ashamed. T he Itch­ing was so In tense I could not sleep af te r once in bed and warm. I ce r ta in ­ly suffered to rm en t with th a t eczema for many years.

"I chased a f te r every th ing I ever heard of, but all to no avail. I saw the adver t isem ent for Cutlcura Soap nnd O in tm ent and sen t for a sample. Imagine my delight when I applied the first dose to th a t awful itching fire on m y leg and scalp, In less than a m inute th e itching on both places ceased. I got some m ore Cutlcura Soap and O in tm e n t After the second day I never had ano ther Itching opell, and Cutlcura Soap and O intment com­pletely cured me. I was troubled with awful dandruff all over my scalp. The Cutlcura Soap has cured th a t trouble.’’ (Signed) L R. Fink, Jan . 22, 1912.

ORIGIN OF BARREL UNKNOWNThis Receptacle for All Manner

Thlnga Haa Been Uaed 8lnce ; Time Immemorial.

of

Nobody knows who Invented the barrel. It has been used since time Immemorial.

Barrels are uaed for all manner of articles. solid and liquid. There are barrels for holding sugar, salt, apples, potatoes, and so on; for all sorts of Oils, from the heaviest lubricants to the most volatile products of petro­leum ; for beers, wines, and all sorts Of beverages. It Is contended that the barrel Is the strongest structure Of Its size that can be made from an OQual amount of wood. Its contents • re frequently the strongest that can be made from liquids.

The barrel has tremendous power Of resistance to Dreisure from within and from without. A barrel set on and will. It Is claimed, support half tbe weight of a railway car while the truck Is taken from beneath for re­pairs. Yet the primitive barrel Is put together without nails, screws, bolts, o r pins—It is entirely self-fastened.

The barrel is smaller at Its ends than It Is In Its middle, no that the Wooden hoops, self-locking, may be driven on. tightening the staves and pressing the heads Into the chines. Although not calked, barrels are wa­ter-tight. A small barrel is a keg. a big barrel Is a cask, and a still bigger barrel Is a hogshead.

Maps and Charts.Anaximander of Miletus Is generally

■opposed to have been the originator Of geographical and celestial charts, ■bout 570 B. C. Modern sea charts were brought to England by Bartholo­mew Columbus to Illustrate his broth­er’s theory of a western continent. This was about the year 1489. The first tolerably accurate map of Eng­land was drawn by George Lily, who filed In 1659. Gerald Mercator pub­lished an atlas of maps in 1695, but It Is only within the last 50 years or so tha t we have had really scientific ■harts of the earth s surface. It was, o t course, Impossible to have had such ■saps In the olden time.

"Mule ate piano shipped. 8end an o ther next b o a t" This message was received recently by a local piano bonse from an “up-the-rlver” purchas­e r whose $600 Instrum ent had been forwarded via Mississippi river s team boat In Its usual pine box the piano was Installed on the lower deck next to a lanky, sleepy looking mule bound for the cotton fields of ths upper bends. Although provided with plenty of oats and hay, tbe mule ripped off a portion of the outer box, disposing of six octaves of black and white Ivory keys, running the chro­m atic scale up to "Q" In the treble clef. He had gnawed away the ma­hogany panels In front, masticated felt dam pers and ham m ers by the dozen, completely wrecking the melodious "lnsldee’’ of the Instrum ent.
