Kill la HI* Motto. No mammal in the entire world, gtgpt or small, can compare with the weasels as hunters. They hunt their prey incessantly, following ft by scent, and take the lives of a far larger number of'victims than they need, for food, says the American Forestry Mag­ azine. They kill, and keep on killing, just for the fun* of It; and It Is only during the cold winter weather, when game becomes senree, that they con­ ceal for future consumption tho bodies o f some of the animals they have •lain. - Additions to Earth's Weight In the early days of Its history tha earth grew rapidly by the addition o f meteoric matter. It is still growing in the same manner, though scarcely to an appreciable extent, for the mass o f meteoric matter added yearly Is reckoned to be only 20,000 tons. In the course of ages'the larger planets have swept up'practically all the frag­ ments of the original disruption, and the only available source of supply of meteoric matter seems to be that brought by cbmcts.

TIFFANY BETTER GLASSES S. Detroit St. Xenia, 0. (Copyright, 182*. W««t»ro Newjppapar Union l They sat on tho platform before the little faraway station, vainly trying to veil their impatience. The girl In 3 modish spring suit, swung tier shoes with thi'li' peai'l-coloml spats to and fro, as she perched on the end of a hand ear. while tho pmn strode lip and down in his high-topped rubber hoots. The girl glanced askance at the rubber boots nnd the flannel shirt without a collar; site ivns pot accus­ tomed, to friendliness with men rough appearance. But in this desolate spot friend'* companionship seemed necessary to al­ lay one's fears of solitude. Why in the world hml Elizabeth urged her visit at this time when muddy roads made auto-rldlng an impossibility, Elizabeth should have considered that the junction would be far from a pleasing spot In which to pass a waiting hour. It would be at least an hour, the surly station ugent had told . Iter, before tlid next train came in. Nora Dean, had been the only passen­ ger to leave the Incoming car at the Junction, The patch of meadow land before the crude station was\almost sunken In the spring How from the* lake. Nora gazed dolefully out to where other ekr tracks stretched be­ yond. Presently the big man gave an exclamation, and stood still before the hand-car. "Well,” he said cheerfully, “a robin. The first robin o f spring, I believe.” Nora relaxed her stiffness to follow his pointing finger. ."Ift} the first robin I have seen." The man returned her smile and Nora, saw that* the face under the soft hat was n- fine face after ^ill. . “ You might make a .wish," lie ven­ tured pleasantly, “A wish inqde -when viewing the first robin of spring Is supposed to come true. Tliink I'll inake one myself.” ' “Then wish." Nora crisply suggested, that the tardy old train will cotne along, to carry us out of this dreadful place.” . • “ As to that," the big man calmly replied, "I’m not so sure now that Twant to go.” Nora gasped and immediately re-" fumed to her former frigid demeanor. - 1 "I was just wondering,” lie said con­ versationally. "how you are going to get over to the train when' It does come .without ruining those dainty -spats. And your thin shoes won’ t be much . protection I fear In. a walk Jjirough the water." “You mean," .Nora asked unbeliev­ ingly, “ that we have to board the train over there?” *. "I’m clad for the occasion, yon soe." he said smilingly, “so topboots are not always n disadvantage.’* , “Whatever shall. It do?” she mur­ mured, troubled. “They can’t expect passengers, to vvatje through a ‘lake.’* “It’s evident,” the man sold, "that neither did the officials expect this flood. And few passengers It seems stop off nt Just this spot. However, don’t you worry, we'll think o f a; way." And, marvelously, at his tone of assur­ ance Norn abruptly censed to worry. , He \Vould find a way, as he had said. She regarded the stranger’s broad fig­ ure admiringly a s ' life again strode thoughtfully down the platform. Why couldn’t the men of her world possess tills mnn’s quality of Inherent strength and power, she wondered. They were nice hoys, the hoys she knew, attentive escorts of polished refined appearance. She could fancy tthe Incredulous e x ­ pression of Tommy Brisbane’s face, for instance, If he might see her now'dn easy conversation with this roughly clad chance acquaintance of a rural station. "There’s the trnln whistle," the big man said. “ Is thnt little linniibng your only luggage? Well, if you’ll pick It up we will cross." • . Nora picked up the handling nnd was in turn Immediately and ns easily picked up herself. It was not until the stranger had carefully deposited her upon the raised ledge of land be­ side the incoming train that she found h e r, scattered senses sufficiently to say: “ Thank you.” ■For surely he had saved her an un­ comfortable perplexing time. The pearl spats were still Immncnlnte nnd ns the big man Snatched tile felt hat from his head in acknowledgment, he nt once relieved her of bis presence. The unusual assistant has been, she smilingly told herself, most grace­ fully and thoughtfully given. „ Nora upbraided her friend, Eliza­ beth, however, when that young per­ son met her at the Journey’s end, “Never again." slip ndmonlshpd, “ In­ vite me to visit yoo when I have to come by train rotifp." Elizabeth laughed, “Why there are lots o f Interesting things ther§ In the Junction section," she said, "Incidentally some interest­ ing people there to meet. As soon as the road Is passable Brother Bill will insist oh driving you Over to meet his old college friend, now the noted civil engineer who Is putting through the big new railroad. He has a picturesque shack near the Junction and Bill adores him," And later when Nora, ’after Bill’s proud introduction, stood looking up Into the face of her remembered sta­ tion-platform. companion the kind, twlnkly eyes smiled suddenly down Into hers. "That was a trustworthy little brat robin," the big man said. "He lias made my wish come true—In bringing vou back." Chinese Made First Bread? It is said that the Chinese were the first brend makers, and they, made bread from wheat and rice as early as 1998 B, O.

It is not yhat the Ford Motor Company says about the Fordson Tractor but what thearmyofuse’ rs have to say, This book voices the hardest kind of practical experience. It shows in illustration the Fordson Tractor at actual work along some ninety different lines of activity. It shows in these illustrations the wonderful versatility and utility of the Fordson Tractor, Shows it to be, beyond all question the one bit of machinery that is a necessity, not only on the farm but along many lines ofcommeicialbusiness; especially does it show * up the Fordson as a valuable servant on the farm. With it the far­ mer is relieved of the hard work; because he can take advantage of the weather in preparing, his seed bed; he can do it at the right time; the sqpre is true when it comes to harvesting. It solves, to a great extent, the problem of scarcity of labor . * ■> . With its wonderful, relibale power, it brings to the. farm home all the conveniences, in the way of running?water in the.house, elec­ tric lights,; operation o f the washing machine, churiqg, separating the , milk; it assumes and takes to itself the drudgery of farm life both in the fi^ld and in the house and it is only a matter of a few yeaqs un- v til it will be as universal in its service on -the farm as is the farmer • ' himself. It will become apart of farm life; a beneficial part; a pro- . fitable part. Get order in for there’s a rush coming. „ R . A.
