Kenneth, five-months-old son of Dr. and Mrs. Elmer Trlcker, who has been ill of croup for seven days, is somewhat better. Richard, the older son, was also the victim of an unfortunate circumstance. He fell and hfe teeth ' were pressed through his lower lip. Al though the lip is badly swollen, the 1 little fellow seems little the worse in spirits today. E. S. Christen received a card from John Magley, sr., of Warren, Ohio, fori merly of Root township, that his wife was operated upon at the Hope hos- . pital for the removal of an abdominal tumor, the tumor removed weighing nine pounds. With this was removed a gallon and a half of water. When i the card was written yesterday, she had not yet rallied from the anaes - thetic. In the “Poultry Raising” department 1 of the current issue of Farm and Fireside a contributor, discussing the question as to how early hens lay, tells the following story of a precocious pullet in his flock. “I posses a White Wyandotte pullet that I think about ■ as precocious as they grow. “My pul--8 let was hatched April 20, 1914, and laid her first egg August 16th (118 1 days), making her cycle from shell i to<Bhell four days less than four > ’months' time.” I The “affinity” woman may be the ‘ best kind to have a good time with, to laugh at your jokes and act as ■ though she thought you were the very brightest and best and smartest man ) ! n the world, which she..doesn’t, knows Ing so many and finally leave you minf us a few twenty dollar bills in your » purse, to take up with some other man with a fuller purse: but the’’‘big sist te” woman that has your meals - ready for you when you come home, > the slippers warmed and waiting, and ■ a flannel rag w|th onion juice ready . to wrap around your sore throat, with i no hope of any further reward than . a pleasant look, is a comfortable kind ■. to have around after all. Next May the formal “opening” of ' the Elephant Butte dam, the biggest irrigation project ever undertaken by the Reclamation Service of the United States, will be celebrated by all New . Mexico and Texas. President Wilson has signified his intention of attending the ceremonies if possible. A pie ture of the dam appears in the January Popular Mechanics Magazine. With the exception of the Nile dam at Assouan, Egypt, it is the largest irrigation dam ever built. It will contain, when finished, 550,000 cu. yd. ->t solid masonry. This is mainly concrete with up and downstream faces cast against forms. When completed, the big dam will be 1,200 ft long on top at an elevation of 4,414 ft., which is 200 ft. above the elevation of the original river surface. The maximum height from, the deepest excavation to the top of the parapet wall will bo 304.5 ft. The maximum base width is 215 ft. It will form a lake in the Rio Grande Valley averaging 1% mile wide, 66 ft. deep, and with a shore ■ line of 200 miles. The lake will cover 42,000 acres and contain 862,200,000,000 gal. of water.

ARE QUICK TO HEAL MODERN BULLETS MORE HUMANE THAN THOSE OF THE PAST. Soldier* Are Not Long Absent From the Front, Even When They Would Be Considered Quite Seriously Injursd. The bullet covered with hard nickel now In use makes the surgeon’s task very simple, as a rule. Formerly, when large bullets of soft lead were used, the soldier's lot was not a very happy one. These often broke up inside the body, shattered bones, and frequently remained embedded in the muscles, bones and other parts. The result was slow-healing, festering wounds which kept the soldier ill for a long time. The modern long, slender bullet generally passes through the body without doing any vital injury. Even when it goes through the Intestine, the stomach, the kidney, etc., the wound closes up without any very serious after-consequences. A good deal, however, depends on circumstances. If the soldier’s stomach Is empty—as It generally is in a battle —so much the better for him when he get* a bullet through it. When he is tired and half starving, however, the shock is very great, and he may become utterly helpless from a slight wound. A curious fact, difficult to explain, is’ that a bullet fired at a range of 300 to 600 yards has more penetrating power than one fired at a range under or over that distance. In the former case it passes through the bone without doing very much damage; in the latter it shatters the bone and makes recovery slow. A ricocheting bullet causes a very bad wound as a rule. Small as it is, if a bullet strikes a large bone, like the hip, it gives a blow like that of a crowbar. We are hearing a great deal about dum-dum bullets in this, as in all wars, both parties making charges against one another. The probability is that neither side is using them. The bullet now in use consists of a core of lead covered with a hard nickel case. The Pled Piper. Recently occurred the anniversary of the visit to "Hamelin Town in Brunswick,” in 1876 of him “who, for the fantastical coat which he wore being wrought ■with sundry colors, was called the Pied Piper.” Old Verstegan told the story in prose of how “the Pied Piper, with a shrill pipe went through all the streets, and forthwith the rats came all running out of the houses in great numbers after him; all of which he led into the river of Weaser, and therein drowned them.” It is to Macready’s young son that we are debtors for the poem, for it was he who persuaded Browning to weave the prose into poetry to amuse a sick child. Its preservation was due to a lucky accident, for in Browning's next collection of poems was a blank page or two to be filled, and “The Pied Piper of Hamelin” was just big enough to do it. So if in his life the Pied Piper destroyed hundreds of children his biography has amused thousands. —London Chronicle. Armenle. May we call the region in which the Russians are attacking the Turks Ar menia? For convenience, certainly; but, as Sir Charles Eliot points out, strictly speaking, "Armenia does not exist. The name is absolutely forbidden in Turkey, and all maps marking any district as Armenlstan are confiscated. Then there is the rival name Os Kurdistan, also unofficial. Kurds and Armenians being mixed up, one may unofficially call portions of Asia Minor Kurdistan or Armenia, according to one’s sympathies. The Armenians themselves do not use the name given them by friendly foreigners. They call themselves Haik, and after their country Haiasdan—tracing their descent from Haik, the grandson of Japliet.” Convenient Rule. The editor of a newspaper published in central Pennsylvania tells of articles that he frequently receives from a certain citizen. They are always pertinent and worthy of publication, says the Evening Post Saturday Magazine, but they are punctuated in a most peculiar way. Meeting his correspondent one evening at a friend’s house, the editor said, “That was an excellent letter I got from you this morning, and I am going to print it Saturday. But tejl me, what rule do you follow for punctuation?” “Why,” said the gentleman, “the same rule that I learned when I was a boy. J put a semicolon every twelve words, and two commas between each pair of semicolons." Hi* Hobby. “I can say this much for Dobson — you never see him wasting his time in a foolish argument.” “That’s because Dobson takes no interest in the subjects most men argue about. Just wait until somebody comes along and tackles him on the subject of Egyptology. Then you’ll hear an argument that will make politics, religion and the war in Europe pale into utter insignificance.” But She Didn't Mean It That Way. "Madam, I am visiting the rural districts in the interests of diversification. Have you a hog on the place?” "You’ll find my husband out in the j barn -” . - .<
