The "Fish Train" which inns dally
from New South Wales to the Blue

An unusual boring has been per
formed by a watchmaker at Cam

have worked on the principle of the
telephone about the same time as Alex

Hat Has Claim to Distinction.
One of the oddest straw hats In the
world Is that possessed by a Mnrlen
bud (Australia) cafe keeper. Every
straw In It has been touched by the
lips of royalty, for the hat Is woven
from the straws put In the drinks of
the crowned heads of Europe- who
have frequented his cafe.

C. R. Young, County Agent
Farmers intending to buy Kanred
seed wheat from our growers for fall
seeding, should do so at once. We
are getting each week an increased
number of calls from outside the
county for this seed, and while these1
men prefer to sell to their neighj
bors, 'still they are soon going-td'U-C
it go to anyone anywhere. Mr, J'Teu
Nelson has already sold his supply.
Others have sold a largo part of their
crop. This wheat has this year out
yielded other winter wheat in this
county, six to ten bushels per acre.
We call attention to this ajj-ain, not
merely to help sell the seed, but to
help more men get a start of this
valuable strain.
Those having seed for sale are Fred
Kipper, Dakota City; Chas. Bliven,
Dakota City; Frank Uffing, Hubbard;
C. II. Maxwell, Dakota City; Dan
Hartnctt, Hubbard, and Mike Hurley,
Hubbarti. The fields of all these
men were npproved for coitilication
by the state extension office, but
that of Mr. Hurley, which had been
threshed before the inspector reach
ed it. However, the seed was pur
chased from the same man as that
for the other fields.

Possibilities or U-sliig Your Wool Clip
The wool season of 1921 has open
ed up and receipts of new wool are
increasing daily. Prices of raw wool
is low and finished wool products are
tremendously high. Why not have
some of the raw wool made up into
garments, wool bats for comlorterfa,
blankets, etc., and know that you
have on an all wool garment?
The Sewing club leaders met this
last week to make plans for select

but concentrate their ellorts on get

Preparing for the School Year
Rural women's clubs looking for
something of real value to do can
well afford to turn their attention to
prepaiing for tho coming school year,
according to a new circular of tho
State CollegQ of Agriculture. There
are many little things which can be
done for the average country school
at small expense, and which will be
of much value and comfort to the
children. Many country schools are
deplorably lacking in drinking foun
tain facilities, and physicians are
unanimous in the opinion that people
do not drink enough water. Do you
remember the old water pail which
you were compelled to patronizo when
you attended tho country school?
The toucher would delegate two
youngsters to trump a hulf a mil
down the country road and lug back ,
a three-gallon pail of warm water,'
which thirty or forty thirsty boys
and girls soon drained to the last'
drop, and then endured the rest of
the day with almost parched throats.
Many schools still have ramshackle
toilet facilities which are a disgrace
to any community. A little time
and a little money would relieve this
situation There are things about
many .schools which would soon bo
remedied if the women of the com
munity would band together and
arouse a little latent piide. Parents
Interested In their children having
better schools should obtain a copy
of this circular, Ask for women's
club outline No. 2.

EVER-BEARING ORANGE TREE
Pocslbtllty That Diccovery In Florida
Will Revolutionize Condltlono
in Growth of Fruit.
An ever-bearing orange tree, which
citrus fruit growers believe Is destined
to revolutionize the orange Industry of
the state, If not of the entire country,
has been discovered by horticulturists
In a small grove nt Avon Park, near
Tampa, Flu. To protect thu specimen,
Its purchaser bus placed around It a
heavy wire fencu 20 feet In height und
Mentioned guards ilay and night?- f
The tree has been In bonHlig con
tinuously eight years, but until re
cently Its existence wmis known only to
thu owner und several neighbors who,
according to citrus experts, did not
leallze Its value, but regarded It mere
ly as a fieuk of nature. Several of
south Florida's lurgest citrus growers
have organized u syndicate, purchased
the tree, leased the ground upon which
It stands, und already are taking steps
to develop Us possibilities by propa
gating it through budwood, with the
expectation of having L'50,000 tree
reudy for setting out hi groves by

The tree is about fifteen years old.
Its origin Is it mystery. Its owners
believe It will bring forth stock true
to the parent tree and be worth mil
lions to the men who had the fore

Mystery In Small Lake.
What seems to ho a natural phenom

I riot. A small lake or pond which
has been used for some tltno by a
logging company for ti mill-pond, Is sit

north side of Kootenay river and with
M altitude or slightly over .'1.000 feet
Mbovo sea level, In a small, deep hol
low surrounded by high wooded banks
unaffected by winds and without any
Mi earns running In or out of It, or
my circulation In It. The water la
thirl: and brackish, yet when logs nro
put In the east end of this hike, If
left unfastened will, of their own ac
cord, thmt to the west end within n
few hours. Tho mystery Is, do tho
logs move or does the earth move
the logs In Its dally rotation from west
to east?
New Paneling Valuable.

Piscatorial "Trips."
An ex.corporal of the Twenty

Ibdilug trips his company used to make

a fish, such as Haddock, Herring, etc.
Thereforu these periods became known
to the company as thu fishy trip.
