I THAT I MYSTERY OF | | THE BELLS | (© by D J Walsh ) Raymond kipping dangled hi» feet over the rocks near the pier into the muddy current of the Illinois river. It was early evening, the sun was Just beginning to disappear over the willows of the west "bank of the river. Behind him the little town of Naples was quiet—its populace at supper. Presently, far up the river, the whistle of a steamer was heard. Along 1 blast followed by two shorter ones. Every evening at this hour the steamer, Madeline 11, whistled as it rounded the island. It plied between Beardstown and Valley, making a round trip each day. Just as the first blast of the whistle sounded a strange thing happened. Kipping, yet a mere boy, dropped his fishing pole into the water and leaned forward. He was listening for something and was straining to catch the sound. And then he heard it. In the dying echo of the whistle’s blast the faint sound of a bell drifted down the river. It seemed to come from the steamer, and yet so faint that It could hardly be heard except by a most careful listener. One, two. three, four, five times the sound was repeated And then it ceased and all was quiet hut the steady throbbing of the steamer’s paddle wheels. Kipping arose and silently moved toward the little village. He was far more quiet than usual. The strange bells mystified. He had lived too long on the liver not to know that the sound was not an ordinary steamer signal. Arrived at his little home, he told the family of the strange sound. They all laughed at him, and he quietly asked them to wait until the following day. The next evening the entire Kipping family awaiting the approach of the Madeline II as it rounded the island above the little village. Somehow they were very quiet. At the usual hour, far up the river, the first great blast of the steamer was heard and thep rhe two shorter blasts. That was the signal for the landing and the opening of the draw-bridge below, one of the boys on the porch became restless. “Aw. shucks, there’s nothing but the steamer whistle." Raymond raised a finger for silence. And then they heard it. Intermingled with the echo of the blast, once more could be heard the faint sound of a beautiful bell with five perfectly timed heats. When the last bell had sounded no one spoke. Mr. Kipling, Sr., sat smoking his pipe in thoughtful silence. Presently he spoke. “What do you make of it, Ray?” Raymond shook his head in a puz- - zled manner. — “When did you discover it?” his father asked. “Just the other evening. I was fishing down by the pier and heard it by accident. 1 thought at first that it was only fancy, but it happens Just after the Madeline whistles for the landing every evening.” “Probably some signal on the ■steamer.” explained TTis ftither as if to dismiss the matter. Here Raymond laughed. He looked up at his father in a strange way. His voice was very low as he spoke. k “I would swear that sound comes from the steamer, wouldn’t you. Dad?” His father nodded that it did beyond doubt. “Well, even though the bells seem to be on the steamer, and can be heard two miles away, they cannot be heard on the steamer at all.” The elder Kipping laughed aloud. “Impossible!” he said. “But father,” Raymond interrupted, “1 boarded the Madeline II the other ■day and asked several of the hands about those bells and they laughed in my face and said the Madeline did not use bell signals. Said that I was ■crazy." The elder Kipping began to take the matter seriously. He was puzzled. He began to ponder. The bells were indeed beautiful things. They sounded every evening in the echo «of the steamers whistle. They came from the steamer beyond any doubt, and yet not a person on board the vessel itself could hear them. The elder Kipping was determined to solve the mystery. The next day Mr. Kipping, Sr., boarded the Madeline 11 and made the entire round trip with it. As the steamer rounded the island he listened intently for the bells. The blast sounded, followed by the two shorter ones. But there were no bells. They had not sounded this evening, he decided.: Not anyone on board had ever heard Them. They laughed at him when he 1 mentioned tjiem at all. He left the steamer at the landing , and returned to where his family were anxiously awaiting an explanation. “They did not ring tonight," he said. Raymond looked at him in a strange sort of way. ' But. father,” he said.

Island Gathers People of All Nationalities

To stay in Brioni is to be a (paying) guest at an international house party. If you look at a large map you will see that Brioni is an island in the Adriatic with dozens of little bays find headlands. It is six hours by sea from Venice if you go in one of those brand new white I.WKI-ton San Marco motor-driven ships which look like a millionaire’s yacht, or half an hour by launch from Pola on the op poslte coast.' It has one hotel, one villa which belongs to Gene Tunney, one fort which you may not approach, one lighthouse, one shop, one post office and one night club. In addition, there is a pigmy harbor, an 18-hole golf course, a polo ground, a zoo witn two monkeys, the remains of dozens o* Roman villas and two Roman tern p*?s, several tennis courts, a hundred y.-rrds of stables for the polo ponies; the “bull-ring," which Is a vast marble saucer In which you dance in the open air nt night, and a swimming pool with a hundrer cabins. ' It belongs to Italy. It Is owned by

“we distinctly heard them from the front porch of cur home." The elder Kipping looked up in amazement. “You heard them?” he asked in a startled manner. “You actually heard those bells tonight?” ■ Every one upheld Raymond in his ! statement. The older Kipping was determined to find out what caused i the strange sound. The next day he once more boarded the Madeline II j and rode the entire distance. He returned to where his family waited for him on their porch overlooking the river. His face • was radiant- He smiled at his family. “Well. 1 have solved the mystery,* he said. “But we are sworn to secrecy." Raymond insisted upon an imine- I diate explanation. The elder Kipping i began it “It is a romance," he said. “The skipper of that steamer Is in love with a fisherman’s daughter below the bridge. And every evening he tells her with those bells where he is to meet her when his ship puts In for j the night.” “But, father." Raymond asked, “why don’t they hear.the sounds?" “Because the tone of the bells is lost In the greater blast of the steamer whistle, but their sharpness carries them farther and they .can be heard in the echo at a distance. They can be heard at the fisherman’s, home even more distinctly than here. He rings twice when he Is to meet her at the landing, three times when he will come to her home, and five when she must meet him in the town. He never rings four, for that Is when be cannot meet her at all.” Soviets Planning to Do Away With Kissing The Soviet government is doing its best to shatter love’s young dream. Tlje Russian leaders are now seeking to make kissing impossible. By regulation and by education they would end this endearing contact. For one thing, they are making the campaign on the grounds of health and sanitation. A kiss is said to be a germ spreader and the Soviet scientists circulate the sad story that death may lurk in its trail. They have the slogan, “Think Before Yoh Kiss." spread oyer the land in big type. Somehow or other Russia is bound to be an unhappy place in which to live. There is no red-blooded man but would rather go to an early grave under a shower of kisses than to defy time and the ages by living as the great unkissed. — Ljos Angeles Times. Virtuous Tree What a great hem i on apple tree must have! What generous work it makes of blossoming! It is not content with a single bloom for each apple that Is to be; but a profusion, a prodigality o* bloss »m there must be. The tree is but a huge bouquet. It gives you twenty times as much as there is need for, and evidently because it loves to blossom We will praise this virtuous tree. Not beautiful in form, often clumpy, cragged, and rude: but it is glorious In beauty when efflorescent. Nor is it beauty only at a distance and in the mass. I’luck down a twig and examine it as closely us you will. ... It is all the better for being common. I love a flower that all may have; that belongs to the whole, and not tc a select and chosen few. Common forsooth!—Henry Ward Beecher, in Stur Papers. , Licorice as Medicine There is real romance connected (with licorice, which reaches back into the earliest recoiled history and beyond. It was known and grown in that region of Mesopotamia which is regarded as the cradle of civilization. The famous Egyptian alchemists and learned Greek physicians knew its worth. During the Dark ages thousands of tons were consumed in all parts of Europe. The ruins of the alleged tower of Babel .arise from the center of the licorice belt. Theophrastus, who is called the “Father of Botany," and who was the pupil and friend of Aristotle, wrote three centuries before Christ: “Scythian root (licorice) is useful against asthma or dry cough and In general troubles of the chest, and is also administered in honey for wounds.” How It Happened The crowd at the airport to see Lindy was thrilled at the sight of him, but one little fellow went home with the information that he had seen Liudy and that he spoke t 6 him and touched him. The family felt equally honored until some one asked him how it happened and he said that he was too close to the plane and Lindy put his hand on him and said: “Stand back, little boy, you’ll get hit" Where They All Fail “Most folks 18 prepared for anything." says Scattergood Baines in the American Magazine, “till it commences to rain and then they’s a leak in the roof.”

DAIRY FACTS REDUCING LOSSES ON LIVE STOCK . Heavy Toll Caused by Shipping Fever and Other Ills. (Prepared by the United States Department , of Agriculture.! Precautions to take in shipping live stock are contained in Leaflet 38-L, Maintaining the Health of Live Stock in Transit, just issued by the United States. Department of Agriculture. The leaflet deals chiefly with the prevention of hemorrhagic septicomia. or shipping fever, and related maladies that have caused serious losses among cattle received at public stock yards and country feeding points. The key to the reduction of shipping losses, according to the Dr. A. W. Miller, assistant chief, bitYeau of animal industry, is greater care in handling, which in turn conserves tlie vitality ol stock so they can better resist the hardships of travel. Among the devitalizing influences to be especially avoided are exposure to severe weather, changes in tlie routine of feeding and watering, excitement and overexertion. The leaflet contains recommendations on tlie care, feedine and watering of cattle before, during and after shipment. Tlie use'of biologhal products for preventing shipping fever is ” likewise <liscuss“d Numerous illus- ‘ trations supplement ’lie text, showing desirable means of handling stock as well as conditions to be avoided.The leaflet is part of a systematic endeavor by the national live stock and traders’ exchanges, railroads, tlie National Live Stock Producers association. government live stock specialists, and others to reduce tlie heavy toll of losses caused by shipping fever and kindred ailments. Conservative estimates have placed the toss at fully a million dollars annually; ami in some years it has been as. high as four million dollars. Copies of the leaflet may be obtained by writing tlie office of information. United States Department of Agriculture, Washington. D. C. Special Care of Dairy Tinware of Importance New tinware, smdtyts milk cans, dippers, buckets, efcTas well as new separator tinware rusts more easily than old used titware. Tlie reason is simple. Metal surfaces do not have a perfectly impervious/ glaze like glassware or crockery.\ They are more or less porous. With use these pores soon become filled up with a sort of a film grease, which then serves as a protective coating for tlie metal. It is very important, therefore, that the tinned parts of a cream separator be given extra care the first month or two. > That is. they should be thoroughly dried either with a dry cloth or by being hung in a warm, dry place, or both. This matter is one of special importance nowadays, since a very large proportion of cream separator sales are replacements, and where a farmer gets a new separator in trade for his old one, in most cases he will follow with Mie new machine the same washing program he had been following with his old one, with ■ the result that the new tinware rusts where the old tinwifre did not. He does not realize that new tinware requires greater care than old. pnd he particularly doesnot realize that when his old separator was new. it was regarded as something out of the ordinary and the best care possible was none too good for it. • Hay Roughage Useful in Winter Ration for Cows Feed al) the roughage the cow will clean up. This will be approximately three pounds corn silage and one pound of or five to six pounds of roots and one pound of hay, or one pound of dried beet pulp soaked 12 to 24 hours before feeding and one pound of hay, or two pounds of legume hay or other dried roughage, for each UM) pounds of live weight. Where at till possible it is desirable that both a succulent and a leguminous hay be . used in the roughage portion of the ration. The most economical produetion of milk is not ordinarily otherwise possible. Feed the grain mixture according to the amount of milk produced. This means about one 10 pound of concentrates for each three to three and a half pounds of milk produced in the case of a Jersey or Guernsey, or for ■ each three and a half to four pounds of milk produced when feeding an Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, or Holstein. Succulent Feed Corn silage has become a standard ingredient in the winter ration in mbsr of the larger dairies. It provides succulence —succulencje is a general term used to describe ( the tonic or conditioning properties ,of green feeds forming the bulk of/the usual winter ration. It not only'supplies succulent feed but also affords a convenient and economical way of harvesting, storing and feeding the corn crop. A dairy farm without a silo is almost an unknown quantity these days. Drinking Bowls Help r There are many estimates placed upon the value of drinking bowls in enlarging the milk flow. Some of the most Inclusive of general conditions are those which come from dairy herd improvement associations. Testers place the average increase in milk production at from 5 to 20 per cent within the first month after cups are' installed, and most users feel that this Increase will pay for the cost of j installation in one to four years not' an expensive investment 1
