Never in the recollec tion of the oldest inhabitants has the shuck been thicker on the corn. There were two or three mere lay ers of it than ordinarily. The thick ness of the corn shuck is regarded as one of the most infallible signs. In fact it is that by which the farmer swears. To him the thick corn shuck means an early winter and a long and cold one. "Now we are told that another equally infallible sign has been not ed in the far Northwest. The bears are fatter than ever before and they are getting ready for a long, cold weather hiberation. Add to the foregoing the fact that snakes have already practically disappeared from the woods to take up winter quarters and that squirrels are laying in bigger supplies of food than usual, and it is unquestionably apparent that there is no escaping a long, hard winter. "The signs are infallible. There is plenty of time for the severe part of it, and as to length we are never really done with winter until the good old vertical sun makes pers piration pour out in the late spring." BAB SPOTS IN ROADS. Temporary Expedients for Making Them Passable Should be Only in Emergencies. THE AEGEAN SEA On a .clay road mudholes usually cause the most trouble. As water is absolutely necessary for the existence of a mudhole, any treatment, wheth er temporary or permanent in charac ter, must provide for getting rid of the water. The first is, therefore, to dig a trench to the side and allow the water and mud to drain. If necessary, open up also the side ditches. Fur thermore, remove all of the soft mud left in the mudhole. The bottom of the trench should be filled with broken stone or coarse gravel so as to pro vide a drain to prevent any further ac cumulation of water. Gravel is the best material for filling the old mud hole. If gravel is not available, use the best earth at hand, tamping it down in 8 or 4 inch layers If possible spread a little gravel or sand over the new fill, which should be made slightly higher than the adjoining road sur face. The best treatment of all, how ever, is to keep the drainage in good condition. Serious mudholes will then rare rarely develop. . , -" Don't try to fill a mudhole without A CHILD HATES OIL, CALOMEL, PILLS FOR LIVER AND BOWELS Give "California Syrup of Figs" if Cross, Sick, Feverish, lanstipateo. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insist ed on castor oil, csolmel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different Mothers who dinar to the old form of physic simply don't realize what tney do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little "insides" are inhired bv them. If vour child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is postitive, but gentle. Mil lions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and boweis and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a 60-cent hAttlA of "fiftlifornia SvruD of Fiars," which has full directions for babies, children of all aees and for grown ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that it is made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt. (From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.) The heavy gun& are waking the i echoes along the most classical of all I waters, the Aegean sea. In and about the shallow inlet of the Mediterranean, all the creatures of mythology found a home. Upon its bosom the fleets of warring na tions clashed and made history. It is the blue Aegean of the poets; high Olympus and Parnassus looked out upon it; Troy was within hearing dis tance of its dashing waves; Athens "was on" its margin; Pellon and Ossa towered above it. Today, at ancient Saloniki, the troops of far Western nations are hurrying ashsre, and at Port Lagos and along the eastward coast the large guns are battering walls and towers and temples. The Aegean is that ragged inden tation between Greece on the west and Turkey and Asia Minor on the east. In the rough its length from the Mediterranean northward is 400 miles and its average which is about 150 miles. For the greater part it is a shallow body of water, but between Samoa and Chios, near the Asiatic coast, it drops to a depth of 600 fath oms. In its southern, section is the Grecian archipeligo, and stretching across its entrance, in the Mediterran ean, is the island of Crete. According to one of the mytholog ical stories the sea took its name from Aegeans, the lather of Thesus Used and King of Athens. When Thesus departed from Athens to deliver that city from its tribute of Minos, he promised 'his father to hoist a white sail on his return from his desperate venture as a signal of safety. These us, in the intoxication of his tri umph forgot his promise, and when his father from the shore saw the black sail of his son's galley he was overcome by grief and threw himself into the sea, which ever after bore his name. A less political explanation is found in the statement that Ae gean sea in. the early Greek tongue, meant sea of Goats, and that the name was given it because of the for-ty-fie or more islands on the archi pelago bore some resemblance at e distance to goats rising from the sea The Bulgarian coast line on the Ae gean Is about eighty miles long, the principal ports being Forty Lagos and Dadaaghatch. The news reports state that the Allies have prepared to land troops at the former port. The latter port has been subjected to a seve.r? bombardment with a large of life. - " ' i Salonica or Saloniki, where the Al lies first landed their forces In the EXTENSION CIRCUL VR3. r-McnxiM Circular No. 3, "The Col ony Hog House," by J.

The Next Best Thing to the Pine Forest for Co Ida is Dr. Belt's Pine-Tar-Honer which goes to the very root of cold troubles. It clears the throat and gives relief from that clogged and stuffed feeling. The pines have ever been the friend of man in driving away colds. More over, the pine-honey qualities are pe culiarly effective in fighting children's colds. Remember that a cold broken at the start greatly .removes the pos sibility of complications. 25c. NOTICE " "The first impulse in the case of an insect sting is to strike the offend ing insect and in doing so in most cases we usually tear the insect away from its sting leaving the sting in the flesh. It is the irritatiiig poison on the sting that hurts so badly and causes such swelling so the very first thing to do is to remove the sting it left in the flesh. Use a knife point or needle for this purpose. Then don't scratch or rub the sting. That only makes bad matters worse. Add a few drops of weak ammonia or spirits of camphor or ordinary tincture of iodine as quickly as possible. "The poison from hornet stings is soluble in alcohol and therefore if the spot be gently bathed or . washed in alcohol some relief is obtained. "Finally if ammonia, camphor, io- dine or alcohol are not available, gently rubbing a piece of wet soap over the sting helps the situation out somewhat. Always remember-, how ever, that the most important first aid is. to remove the offending sting and that prevention is better than first draining eut the water and re. moving the 80ft mud. Don't try to , P"We operations against tne uuiga- fill it with large stones, because if .r,ans' 18 an Bncieni l0V 01 W8Mm this is done there will soon be two, I'. w for nearly five centuries mudholes instead of one. Don't try! to fill a mudhole with sods or similar material which absorb water readily. On an earth or gravel road ruts are best treated with the drag. Don't be afraid of dragging too often during a rainy spell. It a thin coat of sand or gravel be spread over the road sur face When it has been softened" by rain and then worked fit by .traffic and a liberal use of the drag, a poor earth road can be much Improved and made to carry a surprisingly heavy traffic for a short time. In contrast to the clay road, the sand road gives least trouble during wet weather. On sandy roads any thing that will prevent the free move ment of the sand particles will be of value. As long as the road is damp, the surface tension of the capillary water acts as a binder and holds the separate grains of sand to place. AH efforts should, therefore, be directed toward preventing the sandy places from drying out, or to adding some binder. The addition of clay famish es a positive binder and is really the best and most permanent treatment The addition of any fibrous material such as straw, spent tan bark, sage brush, or pine needles is of value and, when spread on the road and covered with a thin coat of sand or allowed to work into the surface, will make an almost impassable sand road fairly good for a time. But the best way to treat a bad place whether in clay or a sand road, is to treat it before it gets bad. Immediate attention to small injuries will prevent later pro longed attention and extensive repairs of serious damage. To The Public.
