Anders Haugens holds the world’s record for the longest skijump—213 feet. It was made at Dillon, Color- ado, March 9, 1919. ‘Henry Hall made the second longest jump on record at Steamboat Springs, Colo., in 1919.

BIG UNDERTAKING IN BUILDING OF BRIDGE (By United Press.) ., Bismarck, Jan. 24. —It will be necessary to dig 28 feet below the bottom of the Missouri river to reach a solid clay foundation for the piers of the new bridge which is to be built here, according to engineers of the state highway commission. The br_ld_ge as proposed was to cost one million but a saving of $100,000 will be effected if the recommendations made to the war department are car- ried out, making the bridge 32 feet instead of 50. The recommendation was made by the chief of engineers, Maj. Gen. W. M. Black at Washing- ton to Secretary Baker. STATE VEGETABLE GROWERS TO JOIN NATIONAL ASSN.

(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) The brooding and feeding of gos- | lings is not much different from that of ducklings except as the goslings grow older they consume considerable grass and other growing green ma- terial and in that way cut down their feed bill. They can be allowed free range when they are two weeks old. Goslings are seldom brooded artificially but will do well with mother geese, heas: or even ducks. P ——— e ¥ __ e e o Family Authorities in japan Discour- age Anything Like a Surplus of Conjugal Affection. The general rule. of life is that the woman stays when her husband loves her, but there is one little country in the. world where the women not in- frequently are sent home by their in- laws because their husbands love them too much, . That country is Japan, we are told by Amos S. and Susanne Hershey in their book on modern Japan. This 'plrazrnph. one of many Iinteresting ones on the Island kingdom, describes the particular condition which some- times sends the little Jap wife. back to her own people: EY “In considering the Japanese family one must bear in mind the complete absence of romantic love in marriage and the absence of romantic gallantry in the feudal code of the Samural, If love develops during wedded life it must not appear in, open demonstra- tion, and whenever the' demands of duty are pressing affection must be renounced for the higher duty. Indeed, it has pot been an uncommon occur rence for & wife to be sent home be- cause her husband was too fond of her, as too much affection for a_wile was considered a sign of weakness and demoralization in the husband, which might lead to neglect of other family obligations. Of loyalty and chiv- alry there was plenty in Bushido or the Way of the Warrior—but it was always between lord and vassal, mas- ter and servant, and never included women, at least not during the last ten centuries.” HARD TO GET CONDOR EGGS Only 8Seven Are Known to Be in Ex- istence, and the Bird Itself Is Near Extinction. The Academy of Sclence in ?hlll- delphia, some years ago, lost an &gg. Presumably it was stolen. It wae the egg of a California condor, and worth a lot of money. o ' Only: seven eggs of that bird are known to exist in collections. It fre- quents the most inaccessible peaks southern California, and hatches its young at dizzy heights in cavee in the faces of cliffs. Thus the task of pro- curing an egg I8 one involving utmost danger. The species, a gigantic vulture, has been almost exterminated. Cattlemen and sheepmen poison carcasses to de- stroy wolves and bears; the condors eat the bait and dle. That ap ostrich egg may be danger- ous, if overripe, was discovered a while "ago by Doctor Bauer of the Smithsonian insgjtution. While he was boring a hole in one, it exploded, the flying fragments cutting-him bad- Iy. The eggs of some orloles are marked with grotesque figures, often resem- bling Chinese characters. Experts in oriental languages have on occasions been asked to read them, but no sat- isfactory translation has been ob- tained. Famous Egyptian Queen. Aames Nefertarl was the great an- cestress of the New Empire at Thebes in ancient Egypt, 1700 B. C. This dy- nasty, the eigtheenth, was that of the Thothmes' mighty warriors and build- ers, and of the famous Hatshepsu- Pharaoh, woman Pharaoh and dis- coverer. On the rock-tablets of Mas- sarah opposite Memphis on the Nile, and in the sepulchral chambers of the Theban Necropolis, this great woman is remembered as “the beautiful con- sort of Aames,” and as “the wife of the god Amon” (Amon-Ra). On her liead she wore not only the crown of Egypt united, but the vulture head- dress signifying motherhood, for the “vulture” was the symbol of Mut, the second person in the Egyptian triad of gods at Thebes—Amon, Mut, Khon- sw Great Names Worthily Borne. Somebody of an inquiring mentality and a good stock of patience has been examining the personnel of the United States army and makes the interesting discovery that whereas there was only one George Washington in the army of 1776 there were seventy-four George Washingtons in the army of 1917-1918. Two Ulysses S. Grants and five Ulysses Grants took the field against Prussian- ism; and with them marched geventy- nine Robert E. Lees, an impressive tribute, by the way, to the enduring quality of the affection and admiration that the great southern general in- spired. Lands in Texas. X The federal government never owned any of the public lands in Tex- as. It was a republic for some years before it entered the union of states. When it,came into the Union it was stipullte(li by joint resolution of con- gress, passed March 1, 1845, that Tex- as was to “retain all vacant and un appropriated lands within its limits to be applied to the payment of the debts and llabilities of the said republic of Texas,” etc. The state established its own land office, magde grants to railroads, etc., and made its own set- tlement laws. Study the Ten Commandments. In slmost every part of the British empire provision is made for children to learn the Ten Commandments in school hours. A New Zealand circu- lar’ urges that a “knowledge of these laws Is in the interests of character- building and good citizenship, and is also an aid to good government.” H LOVE I 1 |Carrots, per cwt...

Men are so busy talking about their rights that they fail to see what is their op- portunities. Men have risen to power because they have magle brain and brawn work together. The world has rewarded them for it., When con- fidence is placed in a man the world gives him unlimited opportunity. It is then he must grow into a larger sphere or siay among the men of lost vision. If some people would cease trying to regulate the world and take a hand In® regulating their own dis- content there would be decided prog- ress. Success after all is a matter of growing out of the old and into the new with ever increased development and power. o 7 To Keep a Secret.
