PICTURE THAT WOULD LIVE ®Btudy tor a Painter Suggested In Inele dent in the Early Life of Daniel Webster, ee When Daniel Webster was eight years old he saw in a country shop & cotton handkerchief with something printed on both sides of it. He gave his whole stock of hoarded pennies to secure it and absorbed its contents that night with his keen dark eyes, on his father’s kitchen floor, by the light of the roaring chimney fire. What painter will be the first to make that scene perpetual in our country’s his- tory and art? It was the Constitution of the United States, just then in the dawn of its beneficent power under the lead of President Washington, that the New Hampshire lad was then stamping on his memory. He told the story himself in 1850, and archly said: “I have known more or less of that document ever since.” . . . Forty years from that winter came the great Hayne debate. But I would travel farther to see a master’s picture of the lad, reading the Constitution in the rude home on the edge of the north- ern wilderness, than to see Healey's great painting of the orator in the sen- atorial struggle against the theory and passions of secession; as I would go farther to see a picture of the springs of the Amazon, far up under the cold white splinters of the Andes, than the most adequate representation of the imperial river's tropical course— Thomas Starr King. GAVE IDEA TO INVENTORS Timothy Alden’s Typesetting Machine First of the Kind to Be Placed on the Market. Timothy Alden was born in Barn- stuble, Mass., 96 years ago, He was the first man to invent a typesetting machine. In his boyhood Timothy wag apprenticed to a printer. He was a born inventor, and almost from his first day in the printing office he be- gin to think of plans for improving the various processes connected with the typographical art. He invented several machines connected with printing before he turned his attention te the mechanical setting of type. After several years of study he pro- duced his first model of a typesetting machine in 1846. This machine con- sisted of a horizontal rotating wheel with type cells on its circumference making receivers rotate with it to pick out the type at the proper places. This appliance was ingenious, but it effect- ed no improvement over hand compo- sition. Timothy Alden died in Boston in 1858, and his brother, Henry, later made several improvements in the ma- chine, Timothy Alden’s machine had the merit of setting others to thinking about the same problem, with the re sult that.hand composition is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. All About Eggs. * In a hen’s egg only one-fifth of the substance is nutritious. One-ninth ts refuse, and the greater portion, about two-thirds, is water. Judged by the amount of nutriment, a goose’s egg is the most valuable; next in order are duck’s, guinea fowl's, hen’s, turkey’s. Eggs contain a large quantity of sulphur, which is purifying to the blood and good for the complexion. To get the best egg you must feed your fowl on grain. And to cook it in the most digestible Way you must not boil the water. Heat the water to 180 degrees and leave the egg in it for ten minutes. You will then digest every morsel.- But if you boil it for three minutes no less than one-twelfth of it will fail to be di- Gasoline to Be Mined. - The latest estimates of the United States geological survey show that if gasoline continues to be used up at the present rate, all the petroleum fields now in use will be exhausted be- fore 1950.. Where, then, will the fu- ture supply of gasoline come from? Billions of dollars are involved in the question. The probable answer is that “mined” gasoline will be used. Colorado, Utah and other Western and middle Western states contain ex- tensive oil-bearing deposits of bitumin- ous shale. Crude oil can be extracted from them and this can be distilled further to obtain gasoline, It is estimated that enough gasoline could be produced in this way to equal many times the amount obtained from all present-day fields, A Muddled Moujik. Mr. Tower, former American ambas- sador to Russia, told this story of a typical moujik entering a railroad sta- tion and inquiring when a certain train would leave. He received the in- formation and departed. A little later, however, he was back again, asking the same question. “Why,” exclaimed the agent, “I told | you that only a minute ago.” “You did truly,” the moujik an- swered, “but it isn’t myself that wants to know this time, it’s my mate out- side.”—Boston Transcript.

Baby Marie , who is starred in J, the Pathe production, “A daugh- ter of the West,” atthe Or- pheum Theatre Sunday, is a familiar sight these days on the streets of Los Angeles, mounted on Dobbins, the pony which ap- pears in the picture, Dobbins is the bift of an ar- dent admirer of the tiny screen favorite. A handsome little pony cart with a beautiful set of harness was included in the gift. The day Dobbins arrived Baby Marie declared a holiday, al- though she and her company were engaged in filming some very important scenes. “Dobby and I must get ac- quainted right away,” announc- ed the imperious star. “I want his first impressons to be happy ones.” Members of the company grinned. The director grew red in the face, then purple. But Baby Marie had her way. When she did resume work she entered into it with added zest as a result of her recreation with Dobbins and the frown which furrowed the face of the director was quickly supplanted with smiles. At the Orpheum ARE five and six cents per pound, by having pasturage or green feed, while others find that the cost has been 21 and 27 cents, on ac- count of smail enclosures and dust. Miss Myrtle Davidson, county club leader, reports that these figures are having remark- able influence upon children and parents in preparation for an- other season’s work. $3640 From Market Day Sales made at a_ recent farm bureau market day in Gooding amounted to $8640.
