He What would you give for a ID give you ten for one. FAIR ENOUGH Assassin of the Nile everybody: know, boys and girls, I have often said that youll find adventure close to home a darned sight easier than you will roaming the wbrld. One who goes traveling in search of thrills usually doesnt find any until he gets back into his own bailiwick again. But there are exceptions to every rule and heres one of them. George C. Dorste of Bardonia, Rockland county, N. Y., met his biggest thrill when he was thousands of miles away from home and in a strange exotic country. The country was Egypt, and George landed there in the course of his travels as a fireman on a tramp steamer. The steamer was carrying scrap iron, unloading it in consignments of vark ous sizes at ports along the Nile river and its many branches. The year was 1912, and the ship had traveled part way up the Nile and was anchored in the river just south of the town of Medinet El Faiyum. The ship was anchored not far from a pier. The weather is pretty hot in Egypt. In the afternoon, particularly, the sun beats down with such intensity that it is next to impossible for anybody but a native to do any work. It was at the height of the hot season, and the crew of the steamer, dripping sweat from every pore of their bodies, were just about all in. Along in the afternoon the skipper gave orders for all hands to knock off work for the rest of the day. The men didnt argue abput that. Most of them just walked to the shadiest spot they could find on that hot ship, flopped on the deck and rested. But there were a half dozen young fellows George among them who had a better idea. They stripped off their clothes and dived over the side into the water. The Hot Sun Beat Down on the Hull of the Vessel. The water was cool and refreshing. Those lads were in it, off and on, for the better part of the afternoon. They came out, now and then, for a breathing spell on the ships deck, but the He Without you, life would not be worth living.

A crocodile First Student How' you can say that lummux is a big football player I cant see! Second Ditto You he weigh 250 pounds? dont? Doesnt TOO TOUGH ! The great reptile was between him and the ship and not more than 20 feet away from him. A shudder went through Georges body when he saw it. He turned and began swimming toward the pier. But the pier was a great distance away or at least, so it seemed to George. He knew that beast could catch up to him in less time than it takes to tell the story. He was swimming as fast as he could exhausting himself in a spurt for the pier. And the crocodile was following along behind. It seemed to George that the great reptile never approached any closer than that original 20 feet the distance that had separated them' when he turned toward the pier. Was the beast playing with him, as a cat would with a mouse? Or was it waiting until George had exhausted himself in his swim toward shore before those cruel jaws opened and closed over him? Still swimming frantically, he reached the pier. And then another terrifying discovery greeted him. As he made frenzied efforts to climb up the poles that supported the pier, he found that he couldnt. Those polls were covered with a slippery moss. He could make no headway up them. And all the time, now, the x crocodile was coming closer, swimming slowly toward what it knew must inevitably furnish it its evening meal. d He Scraped and Clawed at the Piles. By now, George was mad with terror. He was still clawing and d spyaping frantically at those smooth, piles when the native on the dock came to his rescue. Suddenly, the native picked up a huge piece of scrap iron from a pile on the dock, and hurled it at the swimming crocodile. The piece missed. The native threw another and that one found its mark. It hit the beast on the snout, and it dived beneath the surface. , By that time a boat had been launched from the ship. It came tearing across the water as Georges shipmates pulled hard on the oars. It reached George a few seconds after the Moss-Covere- You say you want a divorce on the grounds of cruelty? . Yes, yer honor! Whats your occupation? Im only a lion tamer, sir.

But I came back to life before the boat had reached the ship in time to see the steely eyes of the crocodile which had reappeared once more. It was following along, not more than 10 feet behind the boat.

New opportunities for installing g labor and equipment are offered farm people at. a price they can afford to pay, the North Carolina State college has found. The first essential in a water system is a good, clean, wholesome supply in a quantity sufficient for the farm and home needs. A well should be located at least 50 feet from any time-savin- possible source of contamination. To keep a water supply clean and free from harmful bacteria, the well should have rock masonry, brick or terra cotta walls from bottom to top. In many cases driven or bored wells with iron castings are quite satisfactory. All wells should have concrete plattight, properly-mad- e forms to keep out surface water. An electric water system will provide 1,000 gallons of water per hour for three cents when the electric rate is six cents a kilowatt hour. In many cases the small amount of electric current used to pump water will not increase the monthly bill above the minimum charge. The college recommends that the farm family first install an outlet to the kitchen sink and another to the barn for watering live stock. He says this can be done for approximately $100. The system can be enlarged as finances permit.

The afternoon wore on and the sun began sinking toward the horizon. As its scorching rays withdrew little by little, the day became cooler. One by one the swimmers climbed back aboard the steamer and stayed there. Finally all of them were out of the water except one. And that one man was George Dorste. George loved the water and he hated to leave it. He was swimming some distance away from the ships side,' and about half-wa- y between it and the pier. As he splashed about in the river he heard a voice calling on shore and, looking up, saw a native standing on the pier. The native was shouting to George, but in a language he didnt understand. Then suddenly he began to point toward the ship. George could figure out only one reason for that pointing. He immediately jumped to the conclusion that someone aboard had dropped something over the side and wanted him to retrieve it. He turned and swam slowly toward the ship. The native on the pier kept right on yelling, but George paid no attention. And then, suddenly, he saw it a thing that looked like a log floating in the water, but a log that had a rough wrinkled snout and a pair of glassy eyes just showing above the surface! they By RUSSELL BROADDUS water system can be installed in the farm home for as little as $100 with the advent of rural electrification throughout the United family work carrying water at cent per hour? the rate of and not more than a.s A ers great reptile was between him and the ship 20 feet from him.

A farmer usually sees a neighbors wagon, inspects it, and goes home to build one for himself, or lets his son do it. Also, say engineers at the New York State College of Agriculture, rubber-tire- d tractors have convinced farmers of the practicability of d equipment. In their opinion, a start toward bringing all the equipment is the farm wagon which can be made easily and will cost about $35, without box or rack. Auto run6 ning gear, preferably with tires, lends itself to easy tire replacement when the wagon is heavily loaded. The advantages of tires are lost, it is said, with more than 25 pounds pressure in them. Used tires are satisfactory if the wagon is used on the farm and not behind a truck or car on the highway. If used on the road as a trailer, New York state law requires that it be equipped with brakes, lights, and a license. Ensilage carts that push easily over litter and other obstructions may be made at a cost of from $20 to $25 for material and labor, according to the engineers. A sturdy handy cart for carrying milk cans may be made from old auto wheels, he says. rubber-mounte- te PUBLIC ECONOMY T AM for a government rigorously 1 frugal and simple, applying all the possible savings of public revenue to the discharge of the national debt; and not for a multiplication of officers and salaries merely to make partisans, and for increasing, by every device, the pubThomas Jefferson. lic debt.

NERVOUS? 600-1- Suggest Caustic PotashTo Remove Cow Homs - In the wild state, cows may have needed their horns for defense, but under modern conditions they are of no practical value except from the standpoint of beauty, say Washington State college dairymen, who recommend that horns be removed from calves at an early age. Horns may be removed with caustic when the calf is about a week old. Caustic potash in sticks may be used for this purpose. Tie the animal securely then clip an area over and around the horn button about the size of a half dollar. Cover this area with vaseline to prevent the caustic from burning beyond the horn area. Wrap one end of the caustic in paper to prevent burning the fingers of the operator. Place the stick of caustic over the center of the horn button and rub with a circular motion until the caustic has gone through the skin and into the center of the horn button. Some practice is necessary to achieve the best results. Do not turn the calf out in the rain for a day or two and do not allow other calves to lick the treated horn buttons.
