FRENCH FEAR CURSE IN MAN MADE GOLD See Civilization** Fate at Inventor** Mercy. Paris.—Will the world welcome the invention of a powerful death ray? How will men greet an invention which will permit anyone to produce gold at home cheaply? Will not these discoveries mean the end of our civilization? These are questions that Frenchmen In all walks of life are asking themselves these days as the result of the announcement of Jan Duuikowsky. Polish engineer and ‘"modern alchemist." that he has achieved the two discoveries. He has already proved to one expert his ability to make gold cheaply, and he has demonstrated to journalists the effectiveness of his death ray. on a reduced scale. Everything in France ends In laughter, but the French amusement at Dunlkowsky'a original exjieriments Is beginning to be turned into a feeling of annoyance. During those two years that Dunlkowsky s|tent In a Paris prison for having falsely claimed that he could produce gold, the public laughed good naturedly at him and looked upon him as just an eccentric. During those two years Dunlkowsky was allowed to leave his cell and visit a city laboratory, where he worked to prove that he was not a swindler. Takes Refuge in Italy. After serving his time, Dunlkowsky took refuge with his family tn a villa at Saint Remo. Italy, where he continued his experiments. He wanted eventually to prove that he was not a fake and then have his conviction in the French courts reversed. Recently. Maltre togrand. his attorney, announced that Dunlkowsky had achieved his goal. Monsieur Bonn, a chemist attached as expert to the French law court*, went down to St. Hemo. He s|>ent six hours in Dunlkowsky’s villa applying the Pole's method to auriferous earth. At the end of the experiment, Bonn Issued .a statement declaring that In his opinion the technique devised hy Dunlkowsky did In fact extract a larger quantity of gold from the earth than would be possible by methods now In use. Bonn said no fraud was possible. He made a careful examination of the apparatus lieforehand. The earth brought by Bonn was divided into three lots. Dunikowskys "Zeta" rays and then complicated chemical processes were used on the first lot of earth, as the result of which two small globules of gold emerged. The second lot produced no gold because it was not submitted to the Zeta rays even though it underwent the same complies ted chemical processes as Hie first lot. The third lot was submitted to the rays but to no further treatment. This lot is being sent to Paris for examination. Tslls How Rays Work. Dunlkowsky explained the action of the Zeta rays as follows: "The bombardment of the gold by the rays causes it to mature from Its ‘embryo form' in a quarter of an hour Instead of in the great number of centuries required for this transformation hitherto." Bonn says the Dunikowskys have been living by their gold production for the last two year*. Not content with his gold making. Dunlkowsky suddenly offered to France the invention of the death ray in exchange for his rehabilitation in a rehearing of the trial which condemned him for fraud In connection with his Invention for extracting gold from auriferous earth. The same newspaper men who had been crowding into the villa to make gold now crowded back In again to see another demonstration. Dunlkowsky explained that airplanes could be brought down with his death ray by using two streams of rays and crossing them on the object aimed at. thus producing a short circuit. He tried the trick on a toy airplane and It buret Into flame* Live* in Covered Bridge, Woman Ha* 5 Addresses Boston.—New Hampshire has a resident who lives In one place and has five addresses.

Archeological discoveries have shown that In prehistoric times there was an animal called the “moufflon,* similar in type to the South American Yak with a . coarse shaggy eoat. DI adapted to life on the plain* the moufflon was gradually driven back to the hill* Mankind found these animals of great practical use. and as they were domesticated the early sheep men bred for size since th® large animals provided skins of sufficient size to cover a single person without any attempt at tailoring; also they selected for breeding purpose* the animals with the softest wool since these were most comfortable when worn next the body. Primitive sheep had two coat* the outer hairy coat which served as a protective covering and the Inner coat of softer, finer fiber which kept the animal warm. This inner covering of softer, finer fiber was the forerunner of th* present day wool and by careful selection and breeding the outer hairy coat grsuluMji eliminated entirely. But even in tfiWheep of today there are still traces of this outer hairy coat which persists in the form of coarse brittle fibers known as kemp, which is especially noticeable in some mountain breed* and 1* also found on newly born lamb* although soon after birth it become* lo« In the breeds that produce the finest wool.

• A PARASITE OF • • CLOVER AND ALFALFA ♦ • By Oliver C. Lee. • *«*•*•*•*** “What is the small vine that is ’found in clover, alfalfa, and LesI pedeza and how can it be eradicated?” is often asked by farmers. ’ With the increase in legume acreJ age the question will become more ■ common unless immediate steps are I taken to curb its spread for the ' plant is dodder and can be controlled only by sowing clean seed and keeping the already established patches from maturing. i Dodder is a twining parasite that i usually appears in clover, alfalfa , and lespedeza in the form of a yellowish or straw-colored patch. The plants resemble a copper wire, winding and twisting around the host plants. The history of the dodder plant is extremely interesting and readily explains why it is so serious a weed. The seed germinates, forming a tiny leafless, twisting plant. As it twists, it comes in contact with a growing clover plant and sends little tendrils into the stems of the clover through which the dodder feeds. The dodder plant does not form roots and for that reason the plant is independent of the soil aside from its contact through the stems of the host. As the alfalfa, clover or lespedeza matures, the dodder matures with it, sucking nourishment to such an extent that the host plant frequently dies, or at least is severely stunted. Though the host plant may die the dodder is too wise to commit suicide. Instead it spreads to nearby plants, thus forming a gradually widening circle of infestation. When the yellowish patches first make their appearance in the field they should be destroyed. Oil or straw should be sprinkled on the infested areas and burned. This will destroy not only the dodder, but also any dodder seeds that may have formed which may be lying on the surface of the soil. It will be necessary to make a careful survey of the ; field and to go through several times 1 in order to find all the infestations, i In rare cases an entire field may jbe completely smothered with dodI der. If the crop is worth saving, it ! may be cut early and fed from stacks | in the field. If the crop it not worth saving, cut the vegetation, allow it to dry, and burn over the area. If it is certain that no seeds have formed, the field may be plowed and the green material turned under. All precautions should be taken to prevent seed formation. Dodder seeds have a habit of lying dormant in the soil for a number of years, remaining a constant menace to future crops of clover, alfalfa and lespedeza. When dodder seeds have been allowed to form over an extended area, it is best to eliminate the host crops from the rotation for at least five {.years. Such dodder-immune crops as corn oats, wheat, barley, soy beans and cowpeas should be utilized in the meantime. Like most of our noxious weeds, dodde came here from Europe in impure seeds. The selection of clean dodder free clover, alfalfa and lespezeda is very much worthwhile. Farmers can ill-afford to carefully prepare the seed bed, buy seed, and nurse the crop along only to find that it has to be destroyed because of an infection of dodder. O We don't know why they call it strawberry shortcake. It is usually the berries which are short, not the cake. u . — A lot of fellows would buy a bungalow in hell if they could get it on the installment plan.

LATE CUTTING GF . ALFALFA WILL BE HELPFUL TO STAND LAFAYETTE, Ind.——Cutting the first crop of alfalfa in late June because of delays to rainy weather will be helpful rather than harmful to the alfalfa stand, it was pointed out by members of the Purdue University Agronomy Department at the Soils and Crops Field Day held here recently. Growers who felt that the growth of the crown buds indicated that the alfalfa should be cut now to avoid damage to the stand were assured that no damage would result from delayed cuttings as the tonnage will increase up to the full bloom stage under rainy conditions. In addition, it was declared that storage of plant food in the fleshy roots will permit more rapid recovery of the second growth. The early idea that the young growth from the crowns indicated the time of cutting has been discarded by experienced growers, for such growth is a poor indicator, as the development of crown buds is largely determined by the weather rather than the degree of maturity of the plant. Alfalfa should be blossoming as a rule before it is cut, and this is particularly true of the second and third cuttings. In the early blossoming stages the protein content is higher than in the late blossom and wairymen prefer the early cut hay. o FISH STORIES Trustee Cobb of Jackson township, Elkhart county, who was fishing near Huston Winter's on Lake Wawasee, Friday evening, caught a 4 pound bass. E. R. Ingalls caught a three pound bass, Sunday, using a cane pole and night crawlers for bait. W. P. Anderson caught a 4H lb. bass, Sunday morning, fishing on Wawasee. Charles Sumner of Indianapolis caught a 5 pound bass fishing off Highland View, Monday. L. C. Burnett caught the limit of bass, fishing near Johnson's hotel, but Mrs. Burnett only caught a dog fish. Mr. Clouse of Albion •> is reported as having caught a bass 19 inches in length, Sunday, at Waveland Beach, but it wasn't weighed. - hi— o PLEADS GUILTY On Monday, “Bub" Adam Strieby, 78, plead guilty to a charge of public intoxication in Justice Shocks court, and was fined. The fine and costs totalled $lO. The affidavit which brought Strieby’s arrest was made by Mrs. Anna Ray. , , o _ Superior men, and yet not always virtuous, there have been; but there never has been a mean man and at the same time virtuous. —Confucius.
