USE SHE BIRDS
Minnesota Folk Plan to Cultivate
Wild Duck.
Will Also Go in For Quail and Pheas-
ant, If Market for Them Develops
—To Distribute From 5,000
to 10,000 Eggs.
Minneapolis.—More than 100 resi-
dents on the 65,000 acres of land with-
in the Minnetonka game refuge will
raise mallard ducks, pheasants and
quail next season and if their ex-
periments prove as successful as
those of people in other states, these
three varieties of game birds may
soon bo as readily obtainable in the
markets as chickens, turkeys and
geese are now. From 5,000 to 10.-
000 eggs are to be distributed nmong
those who will encourage the propaga-
tion of wild life and if the ratio of
young birds to eggs holds true, the
refuge will be heavily stocked, while
outside of it by 1917 there should be
more birds as fair marks for sports-
men than there are now under pro-
tection.
Thus, while the refuge remains a
haven whqrein fowl may brood, there
will be enough game outside to keep
the huntsmen busy.
It Is estimated by Frank D. Blair,
Field Superintendent of the Minne-
sota Game and Fish Protective
league, that within the prescribed
territory about 1,000 mallards, from
6,COO to 10,000 quail and no more than
a dozen pheasants have been taking
shelter.
At the end of two seasons ho be-
lieves that there will be 30,000 or
40.00(1 birds, the most marked In-
crease being among the pheasants—
now very rare—which should be 5,000
strong.
“The rate of Increase of these wild
birds In captivity is remarkable," said
Mr. Blair the other day. "Mallards
will lay an average of 40 eggs a sea-
son, quail from 30 to 50. and pheasants
from 30 to 40. When they are liv-
ing In a wild state they usually lay
several batches of eggs and then hatch
out only one batch, while in captiv-
ity all the egge are saved, nirds
hatched will average roughly about
60 per cent of the eggs.
"The most serious difficulty con-
fronting those who experiment in the
propagation of wild birds Is In keep-
ing them separated from poultry.
They are especially susceptible to dis-
eases that are communicated from
coops and land where chickens have
been. A bantam hen Is most generally
used to set on the eggs and frequently
breeders make the mistake of turning
the young birds loose in the chicken
yards along with the hen.
"The Minnetonka residents who ex-
pect to raise mallards, pheasants and
quail are actuated by a desire to in-
crease the number of birds within
the refuge. Though they will be put
to some trouble, the returns eventu-
ally, they believe, will more than off-
set the tribulations."
HIS GARDEN SINKS TEN FEET
Jersey Farmer Fears He’ll Have Only
a Hole in the Ground
Left.
Belvidere. N. J.—-JohnBton Cornish,
a fanner of Harmony township, has a
sunken garden that is being created
by nature and he foars daily that the
bottom will drop out and leave him
with only a hole In the ground.
The trouble started after a storm
some days ago, when a depression
was noticed in one of the fields plant-
ed with garden truck. Steadily this
depression has grown until a consid-
erable area Is affected. Now the
earth is from ten to twelve feet lower
than it was two weeks ago.
It Is thought an underground stream
of considerable size, having its source
somewhere up in the hills, has been
Blowly eating away the underlying
strata, thus allowing the surface to
sink. Exl .lnation along the Dela
ware river does not Indicate any new
spring breaking Into it, but it Is
thought one has broken out in the bed
of the stream.
Last winter a section of the public
highway some distance from the
CornlBh farm caved In and left a con-
siderable hole, but it was filled In and
no trouble has been experienced there
since.

Appleton, Wis.—A fox farm may be
established In the northern part of
Wisconsin by Talcott Barnes, soil of
the late ex-Congressman Barnes of
this city. An effort to interest the
federal government in the project will
be made by Mr. Barnes.
Congressman Thomas F. Konop of
the Ninth congressional district has
agreed to do all he can to secure the
all of the department of agriculture
In the enterprise. The representative
will go to Washington soon, and while
there he will present the matter to
the secretary of agriculture and try
to obtain financial assistance to start
the farm.
Land can be acquired at a small
cost In northern Wisconsin, and Mr.
Barnes can stock the farm with ani-
mals from a tnrrn he Is interested In

ceived attention.
FIND OLD WEAVING SHUTTLE
Prehistoric Sample is Now in Ethno-

Norman. Okla.—A small boat-shaped
stone Implement, believed to be the
handiwork of some prehistoric race,
bar been received by J. B. Thoburn.
member of the ethnological depart-
ment of the State University. It was
sent to Mr. Thoburn by Edward B. An-
derson. formerly an arts and science
student of the university, now located
at Anglin, Tex.
According to Mr. Thoburn, tho im-
plement Is a shuttle used In weaving,
and probably was made by some pre-
liSiPric race that Inhabited the south-
wes* section of the United States. It
is regarded by Mr. Thoburn as one of
the most interesting relics ho has re-
ceived In some time.
Doric column 335 Feet High Is Sur-
mounted by Powerful Lights, Visi-
ble at Great Distance—De-
signed as Monument.
■Sandusky, O.—The Doric column or
main shaft of the Perry memorial at
Put-in-Bay, recently completed, has
come to be considered an important
landmark by Great Lakes region mar-
iners. Visible by day from points afar.
It serves as a guide through the
northern course, between the Cana-
dian mainland and the shores of the
islands comprising the Lake Erie
archipelago, and the treacherous
south passage, between the islands
on the south and the Ohio shores. By
night Its powerful lights can be seen
from almost any point in Lake Erie
between Cleveland on the east and
Toledo and Detroit on the west.
In the United States lake survey's
current bulletin tho shaft is described
as "located at about the middle of
the low, narrow neck of land forming
the southernmost shore of Put-ln-Bay
island, in approximately latitude 41
degrees, 39 minutes and 14 seconds
north; longitude 82 degrees, 48 min-
utes and 41 seconds west."
The government officially describes
the shaft as “a Doric column of whifi
granite, surmounted by a bronze
tripod and bowl containing electric
lamps which cast an indirect illu-
mination through a plate glass cov-
ering," and mentions that "the column
is 45 feet in diameter at tho base and
335 feet in height, measured from the
terrace at Its base to the top of the
tripod, and forms a conspicuous land-
mark from the lake.
The cornerstone of the shaft was
laid September 10. 1913, the one hun-
dredth anniversary of the battle of
Lake Erie, In the presence of reprei
sentatlves of the national government
and the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania.
Michigan. Illinois. Wisconsin, New
York, Rhode Island. Kentucky. Minne-
sota and Louisiana.
Tho memorial as a whole was de-
signed as a monument to Commodore
Oliver Hazard Perry and his men,
victors In tho battle fought on Put-in-
Bay that permanently fixed the pres-
ent boundary line between the United
States and Canada in the Great Lakes
section and on eust to the Atlantic.
For ono hundred years the gallant
Perry and his men had been all but
forgotten, the only tribute to their
memory being a little pyramid of
rusty cannon balls In ono of the pub-
lic parks at Put-in-Bay.
It was after the memorial had been
designed that tho possibilities that
strong rays of light shed from the top
of the Doric column or main shaft
might bo the means of snvlng lives or
serve to protect against an enemy
became apparent and steps were taken
to establish the landmark that tho
federal government has pust rec-
ognized.
The Doric column is little more than
a central point around which much
costly structural work remainB to be
done. A museum Is to be erected at
the right of th s plaza. In the centor of
which It rests. A statue flanked by a
colonnade typifying Peace and Arbi-
tration, will be erected on tho left.
Tho work is of such a nature that It
must necessarily proceed slowly.
There Is every promise, however, that
at tho end of another year the plans
will have been brought to full fruition.
The General Says:
Know-why and know-how are essential to any
success Every one of us has to acknowledge
that the same sort oi military preparedness that
fits a nation tor ita defense is the most effective
principle in making an industry of any kind serv-
iceable and profitable both to manufacturer
and consumer.

ings for divorce from Cyrus Anderson.

LESSON TEXT—I Kings 18:30-39.
GOLDEN TEXT—Jehovah is far from
the wicked; but he hearrth the prayer ot
the righteous. ITov. 15:29 R. V.
Following the lesson of last week
wo have (ch. 18:1-16) the Interesting
account of Ahab's Bearch for Elijah
and of the prophet's meeting with Oba-
diah. Verses 5 and 6 suggest the se-
verity of the drought in tho land.
Ahab’s accusation, “Art thou he that
troubleth Israel,” is replied to by Eli-
jah's challenge regarding a contest be-
tween himself, the representative of
Jehovah, and the king's prophets rep-
resenting Baal, (v*. 17-26). In accord-
ance with the stipulations the prophets
of Baal accepted the challenge and
most miserably failed (vv. 26-29). The
place of this dramatic contest was Mt.
Carmel (see map) and the time prob-
ably B. C. 906..
I. Elijah’s Preparation vv. 30-35.
On Carmel** crown now swarms a count-
less throng
With one brave soul to Btand for Gou
'Gainst millions In the wrung.
—George L. Taylor.
Elijah gave the 450 prophets of Baal
i and the 400 priests of the groves (v.
19) every advantage possible that lie
might the more clearly unmask their
error and make more signal their de-
feat. Their frenzied cries and self-
injury continued fruitlessly until 3:00
p. m. Then Elijah announces the de-
tails which were to remove all jwssible
doubt as to whose champion he was or
who Is to answer his petition, (a) He
calls the people together (v. 30) draw-
ing them nigh to God and challenging
their undivided attention after the con-
fusion produced by the priests and
their consternation over their defeat,
(b) He constructs the altar (vv.
30-31). Any true and lasting reforma-
tion must begin at the altars of God.
Restore one in the heart, the home
and church and there will return to
all unity and strength. Note Elijah's
Insistence upon an undivided nation,
as suggested by the "twelve stones."
While any lasting reformation must
begin in the Individual heart, still If
It Is true end genuine it will work it-
self out In tho nation. ’’Israel shall be
thy name.” The "prince that prevails
with God.” who hail wrought for their
fathers, who answered Jacob's prayer,
is now about to answer Elijah. This
altar was not constructed as a monu-
ment to departed ono. nor for tbo or-
namentation of the house of God. It
was In God's first cathedral and for
his glory alone. On this altar Elijah
placed his sacrifice.
Again Israel Is to prevail over Its
enemies, this time those within, not
those from without, (c) He covered
the altar (vy. 33.34) e. g.. poured wa-
ter upon It to remove all possible ac-
cusation of fraud or trickery. The
trench “as great as would contain two
measures of seed” (v. 32) is equivalent
to six gallons. Three times water was
taken from the spring, still flowing
at this place, and poured upon the
altar, twelve Jars In all again symbol-
izing the twelve tribes.
II. Elijah’s Prayer, w, 36,37. Tho
great prophet even could only secure
through prayer his desired blessing
though its purpose was "that this peo-
ple may know that thou Lord art God.’’
His prayer was: (a) Addressed to
God; (b) Grounded upon experience,
that of "Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;’’
(c) It was for one purpose, the honor
of that name; (d) It was to sanction
his act In calling forth the drought
npqn Israel as a punishment for the
sins ot princes, priests and people;
(e) It was founded upon the word of
Jehovah, to corroborate and to affirm
the works done "at thy word;’ (f) It
was for thb' conversion of the people,
that their hearts might be turned back
to Jehovah once more.
Elijah, the man of fnlth, staked his
all upon the Word of God, he gave
I himself up wholly to the plans and
I purposes of God, and relied explicitly
upon the covenant-keeping God.
III. God's Power, vv. 38-40. We are
confident Elijah had never seen fire
fall and that he must have realized
the awful catastrophe involved if It
did not fall. Yet he fearlessly makes
his plea and the fire fell. It was not
an accidental stroke of lightning. God,
the creator, worked upon the laws oi
nature, his servant, and wrought con-
fusion to his enemies. It would be a
strange God and father who could not
use his own laws and creation to pro-
duce a moral effect.
The abundance of proof was that
not only the offering, but the water
and the vefy stones of the altar were
consumed. Risking all, all is won.
What wo need everywhere Is men
who will follow In Elijah's steps in
order that the fire of God may come
upon us. There remained no longer
any doubt, God is God, Baal Is a sham.
So they "fell on their faces," yet In
spite of the victories of God meu to-
day refuse to render unto him like
obedienco and worship.
Compare in this connection the firs
of God's holy spirit which came upon
the apostles and believers at Pentecost
and the resultant convicting power
convincing the people of Jerusalem
that the crucified Christ was the son
of God.

ROOFING
This roofing certainly has no su-
perior. It is the best roofing that con
possibly be made and it is mi, -*ufac-
tured in and guaranteed by the •
Roofing and Building Paper Mills in
the World. 1-ply V guaranteed 5
years; 2-ply. 10 years, and 3-ply. 15
years, and this guarantee means the
minimum life of the roofing. Thou-
sands of Certain-teed Roofs all over
the country are outliving the period of
the guarantee.
When the General first entered the
field the cost of roofing was two or
three times more than it is today and
the quality was not as high as Car-
tain-teed is today. By reason of his
enormous output the General has not
only been able to bring down the
cost and selling price of roofing, but
he has also been able to raise the
quality to its maximum. Today every
fifth roll of roofing sold bears the
Certain-feed label.

These shingles are made of the same
high-grade materials aa are used in
Certain-teed Roofing. This process
recognizes the principle that roofing

Therefore. Certain-teed Roofing u
made with a aoft center asphalt and
coated with a harder blend of asphalts,
which keeps the soft saturation within
—the life of the roofing—from drying
out quickly. This produces a flexible
shingle, a true sign of thorough satura-
tion in the slowest drying asphalt mix-
ture# that can he made for roofing pur-
poses. A thick, stiff or heavy-bodied

BOY HAD USED HIS BRAINS

Also It Had Been Repaired,
and What Then?
But
An Iron hoop bounded through the
area railings of a suburban house and
played havoc with the kitchen win-
dow. The woman waited, anger in her
eyes, for the appearance of the hoop s
owner. Presently he came.
"Please, I've broken your window.”
ho said, "and here’s father to mend
It.”
And sure enough, he was followed
by a stolid-looking workman, who at
once started to work, while the small
boy took his hoop and ran off.
"That'll be four bits, ma’am," an-
nounced the glazier when the window
was whole once more.
“Four bits!" gasped the woman
"But your little boy broke it—the little
fellow with the hoop, you know.
You’re his father, aren't you?"
The stolid man shook his bead.
"Don’t know him froip Adam,’’ he
said. "He came around to my place
and told me his mother wanted her
winder fixed. You're his mother,
aren’t you?"
And the woman shook' her head
also.
