An unchlvat.-oua deputy caught up with her In a farmhouse bark yard, and shot her before ahe could shoot him. She bore the repu tation of wasting no bullets on her targeta, and had declared she would shoot any one who sauntered Into range. Thus the deputy was Justi fied. He realised he would be Just as tiead as If shot In a vital spot by one of his own gender, so acted ac cordingly. The lady, like many an other, held to the quaint theory: Ol My the Depression!

The nearest rival Is the ant, which through the ages, since Solomon told the sluggard to go to It, has been quoted aa the Intellectual leader among Insects. Their social sense Is a source of permanent amazement. Tliey are playful Ilka kittens, they caress one another like love-birds, they grow mushrooms, like any French maralcher, they keep "cows" and milk them, they help the babies out of the oocoon cases, they travel far, they fight In companlea, they clean themselves and use eosmetlcs (which Is by some supposed to be a sign of Intelligence), they help the sick and wounded, and even the weary.

(London Times.) Us. Mall Tribune want Ida, Editorial Correspondence ROCKFORD, 111., July 10. "What a difference just a Jew weeks make! On our former visit, drought was the sole subject of conver sation. Now everyone is talking about the clowlburst up near Pecatonica yesterday and the heavy thunder storm last night. The muddy Rock river has risen three feet in as many days, and the highways in the country are covered with silt washed down from the fields. The skies cleared for a brief time this noon, allowing crowds to gather before the loud speakers broadcusting the star baseball game in New York between the National and American leagues, but it is cloudy now and looks like more rain. So you can't tell a darn thing on it in this part of the world ponies. But this complete reversal of does Bustain a prediction made when the crops hereabouts were aster wouldn't have a leg to stand on. lour weeks ago, all the farmers around here were ruined, the cattle were starving, a minor catastrophe was certain and a major one probable. A local newspaper in fact printed a long and authoritative article to the effect that the Sliddlewest was due to become another Great American desert, the only hope of rescue being to plant trees, pull large sections to swamps and forests. How perfectly absurd such time there was no outcry against We all have such short memories. And we all so like to follow the crowd. Probably all phets from the rest of the population, was an ability to keep their heads on their shoulders We motored up to Freeport Rock City. Farmers were busy and drains, so the miniature lakes disappear.' fjows and sheep in the fields looked water soaked and bedraggled, only the geese and ducks were having a good time. The rains have come too late for the grain or most of it but on many of the farms, fields have been reseeded to corn and the young corn is coming up pert as can be. Everyone agrees the local corn crop won t be bad. t Just as no one knows much about the weather, no one knows much about the farm problem. There is a great deal of conver sation about both, but when all is said and done, it appears to the present writer very little is accomplished. We called on the local county agent today an agreeable, intelligent and (apparently) hard working young man. We fired the question at him point blank why AREN'T the farm ers in this section of the country, where the soil is so fertile, the markets so near, and the climate generally so salubrious, making money? Tf a farm ean't ray here, WHERE can it pay? The C. A. replied that if ho could answer that, micstion. ha wouldn't be where he is he right hand brain trusters. "Of course" said he, "I can tell you one of the reasons why the farmers aren't making money, and in spite of these fine rains probably won't make money this year. They have to pay out more money than they can take in. But I don't know ail the reasons, and neither do I know, what changes have to be made so. they CAN make money. Tho problem is largely one of over-supply, and yet there are many other contributing fac tors. The decline in the mass purchasing power, for example, The raise in the standards of living of the farmer he must have so many, things, which his forefathers did without. Tho decline of export trade. And then there are taxes, particularly school taxes. Corn is now around 54 cents, wheat is higher than it has beeu for a long time, there is a fairly good market for rye and barley, Chicago, the biggest market in the world is at our door, yot no farmers here are win. jjon t bsk me wny, it s Besides my main problem is to of town they are putting on a real invasion just now. The only way to oheck them is to dig tronches around the fields and they must be constructed just right to do the job I have a dozen calls now you must excuse me." This is a general farming countrv around here. flnrn. snmn wheat and barloy, some dairying, tion not predominantly any ONE thing.

Of course 15 years ago the farmers here were very prosper ous. Perhaps they will be again. But we have about decided no one knows just how that condition can be brought about. It's like waiting for rain during a drought when all is said and done what we call Nature, natural causes have the final say in the matter. ...... In Freeport Judge 13 invited us into a saloon to have a drink he said he wanted to show a westerner how Illinois is handling the liquor problem. Turely in tho interest of research we accepted. " ' ' ' There was the usual bar and a couple of bartenders, also as usual with white aprons, hair combed back slick, and hospit able manners. ' We ordered draught beer the same being promptly provided in largo glass mugs, the' bartender scraping off tho suds in orthodox fashion with an "ivory ruler." Our bartender's name was Joe. He said Freeport was dead as William MoKinloy, but his own business wasn't so rotten. Ho had been a bartender bofore Prohibition, and hoped to earn an honest living as a bartender after it. "Any difference in tho saloon business now and beforo the war?" wo inquired. . "Not much" was the answer.

While sipping the beer, a rural croun entered, fwr m!,1,1lA. aged men and their wives they occupied one of the booths a oouplo of girls also entered and standing at the bar sipped their " "" " lu uisunguisn uieni irom the girls who were taking iee cream sodas at the corner drug store. They left before we did they were faster drinkers, and probably had more work to do than the judge and the visiting newspaper man. Tie judge shook hands with both bartenders as we started to leave, and being his guest and not wishing to appear offish, we did the same thing. We thought this ceremony rather un usual until, as we walked down the steps, the judge reminded us that he is running for re election in the fall. R. W. R Arts At Student's "Eves" TIFFIN, O.

A healthy man weighing ISO pounds consist of 90 pounds of wat er, 37 pounds of muscle ind blood corpuscles and other tissue elements, 9 pounds of min erals, J'j pounds of glycogen (ani mal starch) or blood sugar, and 23 pounds of fat. Let's se that doesn't leave much for his brain, does It. But no mat ter. We've divid ed the brain and other organs up against these component sub stances. There Is proportionately more fat In the body of a woman. Or at least there was In the nice comfortable old fashioned kind. Some of them today have little or no more softness than a New England hired man. i The fat In the healthy body Is dis tributed In a kind of Insulating blanket, called the pannlculus, of adipose tissue under the slcln. This serves to keep the body warm, as fat Is a non-conductor or slow conductor of heat. It also serves to give a soft smooth rounded outline to the body, especially at points where angles or knobs would project If the fat pad did not cover them. This subcutane ous layer of fat also protects mus cles, nerves and vessels In and under the sklu from pressure or Injury. As a non-conductor of heat It expallns why women generally stand exposure to cold better than men do. Besides the pannlculus, a consider ate m.ount of fat Is stored In the ab-. !j.;.en, both In the omentum or apron that hangs In front of the viscera and In the supporting mem branes of the stomach and Intestines. Then It Is used as padding to sup port various organs, notably the kid neys. Lighter masses or leaves of fat are distributed between the muscles, over me cneek bone and chin, over the hollows of the temple bones. In the breasts and back of the eyeballs. With emaciation from any cause, loss of the body fat, these places all ap pear hollow or sunken and abdom inal organs are likely to go on the loose. Furrows or wrinkles appear In the skin. You young people who are not over ten per cent, too heavy for your height and age, think of these sad results of getting thin without Just cause for dieting. And these are only uire outward visioie s ens of what happens inside. Unwise reduction to conform with a freak standard set NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK. July 18.

In any case, even where reduction is advisable and the regimen Is pre scribed or approved by the physician, It la generally better to reduce at a moderate rate, say two or three pounds a week than It la to take the fat off more rapidly, both for the sake of good health and good ap pearance. Any one who enters upon a re duction regimen should Include i fair amount of dally exercise, at least enough to take up the slack aa the fat disappears.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Haw-Haw Corner. As a chemist I am Interested In the theory of Dr. Hay who says that hy drochloric acid in the stomach di gests proteins and that starches and carbohydrates need an alklllne sys tem for digestion. Further that these two systems, being inconsistent, cause Indigestion ... (J. T.) Answer As a student, son, you have considerable ground yet to cov er before you can call yourself a chemist. For Instance, you will learn if you study diligently, that starches are carbohydrates. Your Dr. Hay was born too late. He should have been on hand when the Creator was or daining these things. He might have prevented the mistake of combining protein (curd) and carbohydrate milk sugar) in the natural food of Infants and young animals. Menial Deficiency. Is It possible for the germ causing colitis to get Into the blood stream and cause mental deficiency? Have known two people who suffered with colitis and afterward had these spells. (Mrs. T. L.) Answer More likely there Is some mental deficiency in the first place, which makes the Individual more susceptible to the "colitis" obsession. If germs get Into the blood stream they do not cause mental deficiency in any circumstance. The functional derangement popularly called "colitis" is not actually Inflammation at all, and Is not caused by germs. (Copyright 1934, John F. Dllle Co.) Ed.
