It Contains No Alum Leaves No Sitter Taste | | KITTENS ALL “CAME BACK”: ——— | Man Tried te Losa Them, but Kind-| hearted Woman Spoiled His Carefully Laid Plans, | A Jackson county farmer recently | decided that his household possessed four nonessential cats. His children. however, did not agree with him; at! least they would not consent to any fatal form of riddance. Finally a compromise was reached whereby tie superfluous cats were to be banished— taken far from home and left to look out for themselves, The children, | however, insisted upon a conditional banishment. They demanded that the | cats be placed where they could find a new home without too discouraging @ search, So the next time the farmer had oc: casion to go to Kansas City the ex cess cats were sacked and loaded into the family “flivver.” About five miles from home he observed a favorable looking house. The most favorable feature at the moment was an appar ently temporary absence of human oc- cupants, The farmer preferred to make an unostentatious presentation The string which bound the mouth of the sack was quickly untied. Just before the slowly moving car came op posite the house the farmer lifted the sack and, leaning over the farther side of the car, poured the contents of the sack out upon the highway Then he “stepped on the gas.” Returning home that afternoon the farmer was seized with a@ feeling of misgiving as he neared the scene of parting. He saw a woman signal him to stop and he could think of no good excuse for ignoring the signal Simulating extreme perplexity he stopped the car. The women ap proached and deposited a sack in the tonneau, “You lost your cats this morning, mister, I happened to be looking out the window when they tumbled from your car. They were a little will, but we gathered them all up—four of ‘em.” “Thank you,” mumbled the owner of the cats as he drove on. He wondered how many grinning faces were watch ing him from the house.—Kansas City Star. LOCOMOTIVE NOW DIGS DITCH Work Done Is ‘ip Marked Contrast to the Old Days of Pick-and-Shovel Brigade, The new method of digging a ditch alongside a railroad track is to hitch a kind of scoop to the front of a loco motive. By this means twenty miles of ditch can be plowed In one day at a cost of about $6.25 per mile. The ditch can be thus dug three feet deep and fourteen feet from the cen- ter line of the track, the ameunt of dirt removed being eighteen cubic feet per lineal foot of ditch. The operation of the digging machine is controlied from the deck of the locomotive by air valves, Contrasted with the old pick-and- shovel method, the locomotive diteh digger has achieved what, years ago, was regarded as a physical Imposst- bility so far as speed is concerned.— Milwaukee Sentinel Community Cow.

How Big Vessel Was Salvaged. One of the most novel and Ingeni ous instances of salvage was pro- vided at Folkestone, England, some time ago. A vessel caught fire, and was sunk deliberately close to the | quay, She turned over on her side, und the only difficulty that presented itself in the salvage operations was the question of how to get her righted This obstacle was overcome by attach ing wires to five large locomotives on land, These, when all was ready, pulled the ship over. On another occasion, a sunken ves sel was cut In two while under water, raised to the surface, fitted with new bulkheads, and brought home to be fitted together again.

If you have a piece of machinery that you expect to use, you would grease the principal working parts, and tighten the nuts occasionally, don’t you? ' Why do you do all these things? Because you know that if you don’t do these things the horse will die and the machinery will wear out and fall to pieces. You do these things because common horse sense tells you to do them. Did you ever stop to think that your farmers’ ware- house and elevator is just like your horse and machinery? It is. Do you know that the important part of the feeding and greasing is done by working with, and boosting with i the manager, and with the other farmers. That is the grade of oi! that makes the machinery run smooth. | Things always run smooth when we boost. Farm- ers can’t work together by knocking; they can work to- gether by boosting, and you know that FARMERS MUST WORK TOGETHER THEREFORE BOOST FOR YOUR- SELF. SA use Farmers’ Union Warehouse Co. Ltd.
