"The study of the waters of the oceans," declares Lieutenant Com mander George E. Brandt of the United States navy, "will yield results worth millions of dollars to the agri culture and industry of the nation, because from this study we cun get a better understanding of the weath er, and will probably be able to pre dict the weather a yeur In advance, especially the periods of rainfall and drouth and their duration." Com mander Brandt says that the wnters of the ocean are a great reservoir for storing and distributing the heat which comes from solar radiation. During each hour of sunshine more heat Is being added to this great reser voir. This heat In turn Is given off again by the ocean, influencing very raateilolly the weather over land and sea. Observations made by the Smithsonian Institution show that the radlution of the sun varies consider ably from time to time. It Is this variation, says Commander Brandt, which makes the study of weather so complicated. “Since the waters of the ocean act as an intermediate reservoir," he snys, “the full effect of a change In solar radiation is not felt until some years after the change takes place. Porcelain Has Long P If n M/_IJ r . .. Souvenirs Her Hobby f By MORRIS SCHULTZ ((g), 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) aTUlS is Ihe room occupied by Gen oral Washington after the buttle ■ A irenton,” piped the tittle, wuiieivd ip, old landlady. "Looks like an ordinury room to me,” grunted Jim Crane. "Uii, James, how perfectly sweet I” exclaimed ids wife enthusiastically, just think of our sleeping i« me room Washington slept in after the battle of Trenton. Who els« siept note, Mrs. Starch V” “This room,” piped Mrs. Starch In melancholy tones, “is called the celeb rities room. It has been occupied by Lincoln, Generul Grant and Gdgui Ai ian i'oe at various times. This chair is one Benedict Arnold ouc*> sat down in.” “Oh, Jim, do look at Benedict Arnold’s chair I Isn’t it dear?” cried Moliy. "Well, they can say that Janies Crane also sal down in this chair, grumbled Her husband, p'aniiiig lurn sell heavily in it. ■Juu, juu are so unromuntio— •Seventy bucks a week, just to say we've sat down in B. Arnold’s chair and slept in the room occupied by—" "But that bed wus slept In by Gen eral Washington after the battle of Trenton!" exclaimed Molly. "Just tlunk of it, James 1 It’s something to Oe proud of all one’s life, to say one slept in the bed Washington slept in." Jim Cruue grunted without answer ing. He hud too much common sense to respond. He knew Ills wife was crazy on the subject of antiques. Besides, the little country inn, which looked no better tluin a small farmer’s cottuge, was packed with the wealthy, indulging in the luxury of residing in ihe same house as Washington, Grant, Lincoln, Edgar Allan Foe and Benedict Arnold. But of all the guests none equaled the Cranes, who were envied and esteemed—for they had the celeb rities’ room. “All 1 got to say," grunied Jim Crane next morning, "that If Washing ton, Lincoln, Grant, and Edgar Allan Foe occupied that bed they must have slept mighty badly.” "Now, Jim, you are horrid 1" ex claimed Molly. "You know perfectly well In those days they had great soft feather mattresses." "Humph!" said Jim Crane. "Still, I’m not surprised B. Arnold preferred io sit up all night In that chair. It doesn’t look like a very old chair to me." In fact he had a curious sort of Idea that he had sat In that chair before, lie dared not tell Molly, however, be cause he knew she would tell him it was relncnrnation. The week wore away. The Cranes were tortured and envied; they slept the sleep of the damned, but everyoue pointed them out during the day as the people occupying the celebrities' room. Old Mrs. Starch was the fifth of the generations to occupy the old Starch mansion. It had housed all the lead ing men of Revolutionary and Colonial times. In short, Mrs. Starch, when she was left impoverished, had sud denly struck a gold mine by converting her home Into a hotel and charging proportionate prices. "Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed your visit, Molly," growled Jim Crune, on 'he last afternoon. "One more night in George Washington’s bed and I’ll be glad to hit the hay In our own ilttle home." "Listen, Jim," said Molly. “I believe Airs. Starch would sell us Benedict Arnold’s chair for two thousand dol inrs. She hinted—" “Two thousand! Say, that’s the itniltl" yelled Jim Crane, tearing his Uair. "But, Jim, dear, Just think of having it hi our drawing-room and—” '1 won’t fall for that stuff!" howled Jim, and Molly, with an offended ges ture, sailed out of the room, leaving dm In despair. He knew that she would have her way. It was a clear waste of two thousand honest dollars. Left alone, he stared at the chair, which leered hack at him with Its crooked arms and splay legs sprawling. With sudden uncontrollable anger Jim Crane raised his shoe-tree and brought It down, smash, smash, upon Benedict Arnold’s chair. The chair collapsed into brittle sec tions. Startled by the sounds, Molly and Mrs. Starch came running In. fr-~- .. ) A False | Alarm { By CHARLES E. BAXTER (©. 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) “WHAT a city t0 ,oot!” sa,d * * Biueher, wlien he rode into Loudon in triumph after the battle of Waterloo. Bill Pickens had much the same feeling about Small Fork, a thriving township at the edge of the desert. There was some Irrigated land around it, with peach orchards. A good deal of money was made by the growers. There were three hunks. Everything hud been created by the big dam miles up in the mountains. Bill Pickens and his friend Smiler were in hard luck. Small Fork had not been good to them. They had hit the town only to he escorted to the boundaries by the sheriff and warned not to return. They didn’t like it. They hung around for a while, bum ming from the peuch-growers. The peach-growers were not kind. After a while it was intimated pretty plainly that their presence could be dispensed with. It was emphasized by a dog, a large hound, which had ripped another patch out of Bill Pickens' trousers. They hung about the dam for a while, until they wore out their wel come there. Hard luck stared them in tiie face. -Ana aown mere—them bloated banks 1” said Bill to Smller. "Gosh, If we could have Small Fork to ourselves for an hour or two I” Smller reflected over this saying as they lay side by side among the trees some distance from the dam. “Bill,” he said presently. "Aw, what ya chewing now?” de manded his partner sullenly. 'Bill, kin you git a horse?” "Sure, I kin git that horse of the boss’s. But what good'll that do? That’s hanging, horse-stealin’ is." "Listen I It’s been rainin’ pretty hard this last week. I heard the boss Bayin' something about the strain on U»e masonry." “Well, what ya gittin’ at?” "Listen 1” They put their heads together. Dawn smiled over Small Fork. Peo ple rose early there, to rest In the heat of the day. The stores were opening, the banks were opening, the young men and girls were getting ready to go to business when a hubbub arose. In the center of Main street a crowd was gathering about a dusty, unrecog nizable man upon a horse. "The dam’s goin’ to bust 1 I rode as hard as I could git. They ain’t no chanqe of saving it. You got jest one hour, folks, before ttie Salamoosa river hits this burg!” Terror arose. The long threatened Inundation was almost at hand. Once the masonry walls gave way, the pent up stream would come roaring down the narrow valley. In a few minutes from the time It started it would over whelm Small Fork. The township lay In a hollow among the peach orchards. The force of the flood would simply batter it to de struction. Not a building would sur vive. Not a man, woman or child could hope to escape unless they reached the rim of the higher ground five miles away. The bells began to ring. Criers ran through the streets. In two minutes Small Fork was vomiting out a crowd of terror-stricken people. Horses and rigs were called Into requisition. Mo tor cars were Jammed full of the scared Inhabitants. Within five minutes the entire pop ulation of Small Fork was In exodus toward the horizon. It was a panic-stricken mob that did not stand upon the order of Its going, but went. It straggled away in a long line out of the doomed valley. Nothing remained—nobody, that is to suy, ex cept Bill Pickens. Satisfied that he was the sole sur vivor of the town, Bill made his way to the First National bank and whis tled. out or a doorway stepped his friend Smiler. The partners winked at each other. “Left everything open," said Bill Pickens. “I reckon Small Fork ain’t such a bad little burg after all, Smiler?" “You said It," answered Smiler, as he picked up a wad from the cash ier’s drawer. “Tliey’s a train passes Big Fork at three o’clock. We got to hurry. You take this First National and I’ll try the Orchard association. They got To Those Who Fail "All honor to him who shall win the prize,” The wOrld has cried for a thousand years; Gut to him who tries, and who falls and dies, I give great honor and glory and tears. Give glory and honor and pitiful tears To all who fail in their deeds sub lime; Their ghosts are many In the van of years, They were born with Time In ad vance of Time. Oh, great is the hero who wins a name, Gut greater many a many a time Some pale-faced fellow who dies in shame, And lets God finish the thoughts sub lime. And great i3 the man with a sworu undrawn, And good is the man who refrains from wine; But the man who falls and yet Btill fights on, Lo, he is the twin-born brother ol mine. —Joaouin Miller. Canadian Towns Given Mother-Country Names The giving of the name of “Wem btey” to the latest railway station In Canada, 15 miles southwest of Gvand Prairie, Alberta, Is another illustra tion of the homely method the Domin' Ion has.often adopted of naming new towns after persons and places in this country, says London Tit-Bits. On tario, for example, has a Windsor, a Woodstock, and a Chatham, as well as a London-on-the-Thames in Middle sex county. Prime ministers are commemorated in the same way: There is an Asquith postoflice in Saskatchewan, a Bonar Law station In Ontario, and a Bea consfield and a Gladstone in Manitoba. Kitchener, in Waterloo county, On tario, earlier known as Berlin, was renamed in 1910. Lethbridge, Alberta, bears the name of the first president of the Northwestern Coal company, who was once a partner in the firm of W. H. Smith and Son; whilst Uevei stoke, British Columbia, commemo rates the first Lord' Itevelstoke, of Baring Brothers, whose taking over of the first bond issue of $15,000,000 of the Canadian Pacific railway was an event of Importance in the history of the Dominion. Canine Good Fireman Did you ever hear of a dog_ whose whiskers never had a elianc. to grow because he had a mania for putting out fires? Brownie, the * beautiful three-year-old collie owned by Albert It. Allen of Worcester, is such a dog. says the New York World. I.ight a match within iiis hearing. Zip! Brownie has snapped it from your hand before the flame fairly caught. Light a bonfire in the yard. As soon as he secs the flame Brownie, with a bnrk and a yelp, Is on It paw ing like mad, scattering the burning pieces of paper and, heedless of sparks In his fur, scraping the dirt until not even a wisp of smoke remains. And lie loves a light lunch of live bees. Outside of that lie is the most nat oral, play-loving dog in the world. Historical Ring The ring which Queen Elizabeth gave to the earl of Essex, the one which the countess of Nottingham sc cruelly withheld when the earl lay under sentence of death, is said to hi .lie very ring which Elizabeth gavt to her cousin, Mary Stuart, when tic latter married Darnley. The ring wa. inade for a lady’s finger and was or terwnrd enlarged. It was set with r. snrdonyx engraved with a portrait of the queen. Many people have claimed to possess that fatal ring, liut the ring which Is exhibited as having belonged to Lady Frances Devereaux, daughter of Essex, is thought to lie authentic.

Is a dull, nerve-racking backache wearing you out? Do you feel older and slower than you should? Are you tired, weak and nervous; find it impossible to be happy, or enjoy the good times around you? Then there’s something wrong and likely it's your kidneys. Why not get at the cause? Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. Your neighbor recommend Doan’s. Read what this O’Neill resident say: Mrs. Viola Morgan, says: “When ever kidney trouble came on back ache gave me a lot of distress. At these times dull, bearing down pains across my kidneys made me feei miserable and when I bent over dart ing twinges caught me across my hips. My back was sore and lame, and the misery across my kidneys put my nerves on edge. Headaches and dizzy spells were frequent and my kidneys acted too frequently. One box of Doan’s Pills from Gilli gan & Stout’s Drug Store benefitted me.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. NOTICE OF TAX DEED. C. B. Patterson.
