hearing that an 'automobtlo cainjwr be

the tarpaulin from hi* threshing ma

tips were involved; It wan simply an
not of courtesy.
These uro the Menominee* of today,
whose historical character wan de
sert hod In a Washington Indian service

"A worlds Indian, the Menominee
wun a striking figure, generally six feel

Sun-dried oysters are always obtain

are Imported regularly. A caviar is
Imported from the Hellenes and all

Is the roe of the bushra which Is salt*

It Is steeped In and given an effec

HAS RARE VOLUME
American Proud Possessor, of
One of Oldest Books.
Believed to Have Been Printed in
China Before Weetern Hemisphere
Knew of Movable Typo.
William Kichard, former. vice presi
dent of the American Numismatic so
ciety, who acquired two rare books
during " W|| tu t'hlna several year*
itgo, has announced after thorough in
V ?? .1 iK;tl I"II. his coil \ htlon that lu* li.is
one ol' the rare hooks culled the "Tun
i;.., or the 1 look of the DocJrise of
the Tibetans.
For some time after he came Into
possession of the book, Mr. Richard
looked upon it us only a curiosity
without any particular worth, uuiil
h?? allowed It to u friend, who urged
him to Investigate Its origin. " After
more than a year studying thAlltera*
tun* of Tibet and Chlua, he* found
(hat the hook wan printed more
than 1,000 years , ago with mov
able type, at that time unknown In
the weHtern hemisphere. Mr. Rich
ard says he has proved conclusively
that the "Tunjur" was printed 700
years before the famous Gutenberg
Hibltt, the llrst European book print
ed with movable type.
From an oflice boy for John I).
Rockefeller Mr. Kichard 1ms come to
travel In recent years in many for
eign countries as representative of the
Standard Oil company , and other
American llrms. Before. he left for
the Orient, about eight years ago,
he had one of the best stamp collec
tions In this country, which he sold
for $ 10,000.
"About five years ago I came Into
possession of the manuscript in San
skrit, or, rather,-In pevanagari, which
in Tibetan Is called the 'Tanjur/ the
Sacred Book of Doctrine of the Tibet
ans," said Mr. Richard. "I came across
It In a monastery at the same time
lhat I found the 'Kanjur* at the bor
der of Tibet. As no one there ap
peared fo realize the value of the
documents, I had no dllHculty in ob
taining them at a vory low price. The
only ftther Tanjur' in this country
that, I have positive knowledge of Is
in the American Museum of Natural
History.
"The value.of this rare ijook Is said
to differ according to the Ink used.
For Instance, a copy In red la worth
1<>8 times more than a copy In black;
one In silver Is more valuable tlian
one In red. and one In yellow or gold
is more highly prized than one In sil
ver. The Manchu emperor of China
Kienlung, who flourished In 1700, had
a copy of the 'Tanjur' which was
said to have then been valued at
$6,."00."?Philadelphia Inquirer.
Straws and Painted Lips.
"Somebody r other said something
'p other about straws showing which
way the wind blows," remarked a
soda fountain boy who served cool
drinks to matinee girls and afternoon
crowd?; "but I know something that
these soda-water straws point to."
"What ilo you know?" asked the girl
assistant.
"I know that It's the girls with the
pretty painted lips that use them.
W hen a girl has Juftt dolled herself all
up iu a carmine (.lipid's bow effect
she can't afford to have It all washed
off with a glass ??f soda water and a
paper napkin?no sir! So she always
uses n straw. Maybe that's how the
poem, 'Prettiest girl I ever saw was
drlnkinj; soda through a straw' start
ed. Ask rue about the girls who come
here. I know."?Chicago Journal.
German Woman Lawyer.
A woman appeared as an attorney
for the tlrst time in the history of
German criminal courts a few days

The incident was the subject of con

The next Important stey to deter
mine is tin- stage of maturity of the
silage crop. The total amount of dry
matter and food nutrient in the si
lage crop Increases np tint 11 the time
of maturity. Therefore. It Is Impor
tant not to cut the $11 axe crop too
green, thus losing cuslderahlc food
value ami also producing an acid si
lage which Ih not palatable. The
stage of maturity at which corn Is
ready for the silo is when the grains
are dented and glazed and the lw>t
torn leaves have turned brown. There
Is then usually some brown on the
shucks of tho corn also. It Is prob
ably more important that sorghum he
matured before harvested for silage,
since green sorghum makes a very acid
unpalatable silage. The sorghum
should be ripe enough to make syrup.
The next step t<> insure silage is to
cut the 4-orn or sorghum into short
length-; which will paek well in the
silo. In order to cut these heavy
stalks into one-half or three*fourths
Inch lengths It is necessary to keep
the knives sharp. There should, be
two sets of knives .so it will not be
necessary to stop to have knives shar
pened at least twice a day.
The packing (?f the silage in the.
silo is a very Important operation.
The only satisfactory way to do this
packing i* to keep two or three men
in the silo continually packing while
it Is being filled. The silage should
be forced against the walls of the silo
by pressure, keeping the center slightly
higher than the outer edges. Pack
ing in this way will exclude all air
and prevent air pockets, which would
en use fire fanging or moulding.
Silage may be put up during any
kind of weather Which i**rmits wa

the defiuKlolf of ftr Is left to the edl

Uo promise to print what one wants

It needs to l>e emphasized that no
man can dodge moral' responsibility.
The scandal I monger makes the effort

lives, blasted reputations, broken
hearts, unhappy marriages, divorces,

charge the scandal monger with re

monger must pay the bill. The edttor
of a newspaper works under an Inten

conies into contact with and influences
more people than does the average'

The new Qoodyear
Cross-Rib Tread Cord
A Popular ^Priced Cord Tire
Without a Rival
The new Goodyear Cross-Rib T read Cord Tire is built with
genuine high-grade long-staple cotton as a foundation.
It is liberally oversize ? the 4l/2-inch tire, for example,
measuring nearly 5 inches.
The deep, clean-cut, cog-like pattern of its tread affords
excellent traction even in snow and mud, engaging the road
like a cogwheel.
The scientific distribution of rubber in this tread?the wide
center rib and the semi-flat contour?gives a thick, broad
surface that is exceedingly slow to wear.
This new tire is a genuine Goodyear through and through
?in design, in material, in construction.
It costs less to buy than the net price you are asked to pay for
many "long discount" tires of unknown reputation ana value.
Why be satisfied with less than this efficient tire can give
why take a chance on an unknown make?
Compare these fmces with NET prices you are asked to bay for "lone discount " tires
