Compass Plant Western Product.
On the prairies and plains of Utah,
Texas and southern Minnesota there
Br..«s a wonderful plant which bas
proved useful to travelers wandering
over these vast tracts of country. It
is called the compass plant, or pilot
plant, because of a peculiarity In the (
growth of the leaves, which grow u-
ternately along the stalk, and point
precisely north and south.
The Indians followed the direction
given them by these pointing loaves,
and told tbe white men about It.
This plant belongs to tbe family of
tbe Composltae, and looks very much
like the sunflower. It ha* a strom
resinous odor, somewhat like turpen-
tine, and sometimes goes by the name
of "turpentine plant."
One of Noah's Pets.
It was swampy around Denver 2,-
000,000 years ago, according to Prof.
J. D. Flgglns, director of the Colo-
rado Museum of Natural History. The
traveler who wants to hobnob with
the monsters of long ago can do so In
the city park collection, In Denver,
where the skeleton of an animal close-
ly related to tbe present-day rhiuoce-
r'ous is on exhibition, one-half of it
covered with an imitation hide.

"Oliver Twist was always asking
fot more," remarked Senator Sor

"Yet he became a worthy citizen.'

"Yes. Probably be grew up even-
tually to be a t«x collector."
Ham Prices
Are Down
Ham —Boiled, Baked (Hot or
Cold), Broiled, or Fried—is one of the
most appetizing and savory foods
that the market offers.
The wholesale price of ham is
fifteen to twenty per cent lower than
it was six weeks ago.
The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture in
an announcement dated June 19,
1922, in referring to vitamins found
in meat said, "Various cuts of meat
were tried, and in every instance pork
was found to be relatively rich in
vitamins. Pork tenderloin, fresh
ham, smoked ham, and pressed
' boiled ham were tested^ and the
results were much the same with all
of them.
Swift's Premium Hams are always
of a uniform high standard of quality,
regardless of price. A special cure
of sugar and salt, and smoking over
hardwood fires impart a flavor that
has made "Premium" Ham the
worlds standard
Summer time is ham time. Insist
on having "Swift's Premium"—

The little red sjchoolliouse Is pas* j
Ing. In its place is springing up a ,
pretentious handsome affulr of stone,
brick or stucco, with two or mora .
rooms, with modern equipment, a 11.
brary, aud an advanced curriculum fofr ,
tlie education of boys and girls of tlj.a |
farming districts.
There are still, of course, many of
the old one-room school houses., of
frame construction, shabby and for-
saken-appearing standing in the coun-
try, but the consolidated school plan,
and the rapid settling of farm lands
In this section particularly, has
marked the doom of the old-time in-
stitution.
No more does a sheep s tall, split
and fastened, wool out, on a block of
wood serve as an eraser for bumpy
blackboards In these schools; no more
do a tattered dictionary and a few
outdated text books constitute the "li-
brary."
Standard school equipment, coming
up to regulations set by the state, la
to be found In practically all of the
rural schools In any but remote dis-
tricts today.
A marked contrast can be seen be-
tween representative schools of today
In the country aud those of a genera-
tion ago.
Then the boys carried stove-wood
from the outdoors and corded It along
the walls of the room, to feed the box
stove In winter; today a hot-air or
steam furnace, fueled with coal, pro-
vides heat in the modern district
school.
Then a tin wash-basin In a tor-
ner provided a place to wash at noon,
or to thaw out frost-bitten fingers; to-
day a pressure water system or ar-
tesian well empties Into a modern lav-
atory.
Then there was one teacher tor ill
grades from primary to eighth. To-
day schools are graded, with separate
rooms and Individual teachers in many
country districts.
Then the subjects offered were read-
ing writing und arithmetic, with a
few added such as geography and some
history. Now the boy or girl may
study agriculture, domestic science,
manual training and other supplemen-
tary courses.
Truly, times have changed for tne
farm schoolboy since the end of the
last century.
Visitors to the state museums snd
palaces In Paris are now required,
reports the Dally Telegraph corre-
spondent, to puy an entrance fee. The
fees vary from 1 franc at the Ixmvre
to 50c at the l^tit Trianon, and the
first day's experience yielded very en-
couraging results. Although the Lou-
vre was ofien only In the afternoon,
the receipts for the day were 8,000
francs. Three hundred francs were
taken at the Luxembourg, and the
Clui .y museum and the Arc de Trt-
Oiuphe each took 350.
The director of the Nntlonal mu-
seum estimates that during the 200
days a year on which an admission fee
is charged—that is. allowing two free
days per week—the receipts at tbe j
Louvre will average 2,000 franc* a
day. Few people, he said, object to
paying the small fee, hut It will re-
lieve the taxpayer of a great part of
ills-burden for tbe benefit of irate mu-
seums. A proposal Is being considered
to charge for admission to the gardens
of Versailles on the days when the
fountains are playing, as the spectacle
—always a great attraction to vis-
itors—• costs 30,1*00 francs to 35,000
francs a day at the present price of
coal.

MANY USERS OF TELESCOPE
Dealers Report Practically s Steady
Demand for Glasses In All
Months of the Year.
Beautiful St. Helena.
Napoleon Bonaparte drew public at.
tentlon to a hitherto little-known Is-
land in mid-Atlantic, almost opposite
the southern extremity of the Portu-
guese settlement of Angola, next door
to what used lo be German Southwest
Africa. Few of the general public of
that day knew of Elba, not far from
Leghorn, where the French emperor
was first sequestered; and when, uft«er
Waterloo, he went to St. Helena peo-
ple looked In vain upon most of the
maps for that tropical dot, with an
area of only 47 square miles and with
but few inhabitants.
After the Boer war the English
turned to St Uelena as a safe spot to
send Boer prisoners of war, and so
many thousands were transported
there that the inhabitants of James-
town—the only town then on the island
—became suddenly enriched, for Brit-
ish soldiers and sailors brought money,
and their prisoners were rarely poor
men. . , ..
Next to the Red sea ports along the
African coast, St Helena probably en-
tertains in Its waters the greatest ag-
gregation of sharks In the world, but
the Boer prisoners discovered that
these sharks always slept when the
sun reached the meridian; and many
of these prisoners were rescued by
their friends, who brought small ves-
sels apparently laden with provender,
but steamed rapidly away when their
i confederates had swum a few yards
from beneath the towering cliffs to
the awaiting boat
"We sell telescopes all the year
round, but the demand for them is
greater In summer than In other sea-
sons," said the salesman In a New
York optician's shop. "Perhaps that
Is because it is easier to remain out'
doors and study the stars on a sum-
mer night than It Is when the weather
Is colder.
"Also, In summer people buy tele-
scopes for other purposes than to
study the stars. Folks on the sea-
shore get them to look at passing ves-
sels, at the clouds and other things.
We sell some also to those who live
In the mountains and use the tele-
scope for lookont purposes. Bnt of
course, the greater number of tele-
scopes, especially the high-power
glasses, are bought for the study of
the heavens.
"Annually we sell an average of 200
telescopes for amateur use. They
range In size from the hand glass,
with 1-Inch lens, to the glass that Is
supported on a tripod and has a lens
3 to 3% Inches In diameter. Larger
lenses than the 3H inch size are sel-
dom bought by amateurs. They are
for professional use."
