''turned to its home loft from NOVO,

trained homing pigeons was estab-

sent to Dr. R. E, Mason, of St. Steph-
en, South Carolina, who ,is recognized
as one .of the outstanding homing pig -
}eon fanciens in the United States,- Dr.
1VIeson, ' before acquiring ' this bird,
owned the champion untrained bird
until it was dispkieed by the bird
raised by Perry Anderson. It is un-
usual for a halving pigepn to return
home more than one .hundred miles
unless trained, but this bird, known
as "Triangle 37-N25549" made a fight
of more than 1,000 miles. At •the_pres-

Water Does Not Tempt Drinkers
A pump at Dublin that has been
years on the property of M. J. Klink -
hammer, is now bringing forth water
decidedly contrary to its usual cus-
tom. Various- tests show the water
'to be from one-half to three-fourths
greenish -gasoline. It seems there is
a gas tank operated across the street
but the manger there certifies that a
test has been taken by. means of a
pressure gauge showing there is posi-
tively no leak there. Where the gaso-
line in the well is corning from still
remains a question.—Mitchell Advo-

Always Asse thee "Other-
Driver" is Crazy, 3. P
McEvpy, Says in Letter.
J. 1'. McEyoy, noted satttliist, novel-
ist, ,and feature' writer, recently wrote
a book called "Father Meets Son,"
Antall-shed by J. B. Lippi cott Co„ int
which a modern father, patterned af.
ter• the. famed Lord Chestetfteld,
wrote a series of 'letters to his son
who had just -entered the business
world after a rather heotle college
career. ' The letters discussed every
aspect of the young m'an's future life
,---questions of employment, marriage,
social responsibilities, and so on.
On one occasion the lad; who was
'working at the time -as a private
chauffeur, took his 'employer's car out
one night without petmisson and.
"wrapped it around a lamp post."
1!.atber McEvoy, when he heard
about the accident, sat down and
wrote his son a letter containing a
great"' deal of food. fo'r thought which
should be thoroughly digested by ev-
eryone who drives a car. Here is
what he wrote:
DEAR SON: You used up a lot of
paper explaining how the accident
was not your fault, and I can believe
you. But you are going to continue
to drive cars, and a few words on the
subject won't do ally harm. In the
25 years that I have been driving
automobiles, I have never met anyone
who had an accident through his own
fault,, it was always the car, the road,
or the Ot'h,er Fellow. Mostly, the
Other Fellow.
This Other Fellow is worth some
study. There seems to be no escap-
ing him. To look at him, you would
think he was 'harmless,• but last year
he killed a great many people, and
injured many, many more. • I have
seen Ute Other Fellow, and certainly
he doesn't look like a killer. Some-
times he is a young, nice• -looking kid
)idea you. Sometimes he, is a mild -
looking, middle-aged fellow like me.
Sometimes he is a • gentle sweet lit-
tle woman like your mother, but that
only goes t'o show you can't judge
by appearances. He's, a killer, and no.
mistake, and solilething is going to
be done; about it—or is it?
Someetime ago, the champion safe-
ty. driver of one of the largest bus
companies in the. world was given a
banquet and a medal. He had com-
pleted half a million miles without
an accident. Wheih they called on
him for a speech, he rose and said:
"I ain't much of a hand at making
speeches. I suppose you want to
know how I got away so long' with-
out an ' accident? I just got one rule.
I drive like the other fellow is
crazy."
So that seems to explain it. ..The
Other Fellow is crazy. If you cut
out of line on a two-lane road, don't
expect him to let you push him into
the ditch, so you can cut. in, again.
If you. par's a car 011 a blind' curve,
don't expect the fellow coming the
ether way to be sensible about it and
go off the road and cut into the field
to let you by. He's just crazy enough
to run right into you because you
are on his side of the road:' If you
speed through, a main intersection,
you will meet a lot of people who are
crazy enough t9 think they have the
right of way just because they are
on a through street and you are com-
ing in off a side street. If you like
to pass on a hill, don't be surprised
if a car comes over the crest and
the driver doesn't leap over you or
run under you. That would be the
sane thing to do, of- course—but you
see} tie's crazy.
Yes, he's crazy, but .,you are rude—
and that's what makes him crazy. It
doesn't matter so much if you are
walking down the street and you are
rude enough to push someone aside,
but if you are rude enough to push.
him aside with a three -tone automo-
bile going 60 miles an hour, you'll
kill ,bila. You can elbow your way
through a crowd, if you are that im-
polite, and do no damage at all. But
when you elbow your way through
traffic with your bad manners step-
ped up to a 'hundred boreepower,
you're bound to do a lot of damage
to a lot of innocent people.
For every accident caused by high
speeding, there are a thousand' caus-
ed by low breeding. Is it coincidence
that the continent which leads in
fatalities lags in formalities? We
may not be the most uncivil people
on two feet, but we certainly are the
prize terrors on four wheels. My boy,
you may think it is sissy to be po-
lite, but a kiss on a warm cheek is
worth two on a cold brow.
Today we put a premmium on. agility
rather than civility. Each year our
manners become cruder a:s our gaso-
line becomes more refined. Wide
roads won't prevent accidents, so
long as they continue to fill up with
narrow people. Good brakes on cars
are no protection against bad breaks
in behavior. The growing problem, of
automobile fatalities will not be solv-
ed around the drafting board but
around the family table. Then we
can have a monster under the hood,
because there will be a gentleman at
the wheel.
Affectionately,,
DAD.

Bladder Campion is considered one
of the most serious weed pests in Ong
tario by the Crops, Seeds and Weeds
Branch of the Ontario Department of
Agriculture!'
It is difficult to kill owing to its
deep fleshy rootatalks and the num-
bers of stems growing from one
drown. The crown is often down six
to twelve inches in the soil and this
explains the difficulty incutting it off
with the ' plow and the need of deep
plowing followed by a stiff toothed
