Mr. Williams, a very success ful Oklahoma Poultry Raises, re cently said to Dr. LeGear: "Since I have been using your Poultry Remarkable Wagers In The Days Of Old. Curious wagers are less com mon today than they were in ear- days, when men would under go personal humiliation and dis comfiture to win a purse. One of the strangest is that re garding Lord Digby in 1670 when tie walked five miles around New market Heath in a certain time barefooted and naked while the King and his court watched him. Lord. Digby lost the wager by the margin of a half minute. In the 18th century a Liver pool scientist bet a brother scien tist that he could read a newspa per by light of a farthing dip at distance of thirty feet. The scientist performed the feat by coating the inside of a shallow wooden box with sloping pieces of looking glass. The idea led to the modern reflected light sys tem." ' Another example of a curious wager was that oi a Liverpool cotton broker vvho, on abet, wore a pair of wooden shoes to the Cot ton Exchange. The limit in feature wagers was possibly reached by a man in a small Canadian town who propelled a green pea with o toothpick for about 80 yards a long the pavement within half b hour of the stipulated time, and won the wager.

U H-25-'20 Sharks Make Meal of Fine Steers. An Associated Press diapatch from Havana, Cuba, says hun dreds of tine steers stampeded on board the American steamer St. Charles outside of Havana harbor, and after creating a pan ic on board the ship plunged in to the sea, where they became the prey of the sharks which in fest the waters 1I Moro Castle. Except for a comparatively few that swam ashore and are now wandering about in the suburbs of the city, all of the 800 steers on the St. Charles are believed to have perished. Sanitary officers who inspected the vessel on her arrival were a larmed when they found 130 dead steers in thehold of the ship. To avoid possible danger to people of the city they ordered the cap tain to put out and throw the car casses overboard. While thecrew was thusjengagod the cattle stam peded and ran amuck. Frightened anjinals ran up and down the deck and then plunged overboard where the tigers of the deep were awaiting them. Four were seen to strike the water al most simultaneously, and in an instant they were dragged be neath the surface, only a trail of blood telling of their fate.- Tugs were sent out to the St. Charles and found the crew vir tually paralyzed with terror, a time there was danger the ves sel would, drift on the rocks near the harbor entrance, but, it was at Irst brought into port. Sum Available for Commercial Canneries Thirty-four million pounds of sugar will be available for com mercial canners and preservers during the five months from June 1 to Oct. 31, A. W. Riley, special ' assistant to Attorney General Palmer announces. Assurance that the sugar will be provided were given, Mr. Riley said, by the representatives of the lead ing refiners. Representatives of the canning and preserving Industries told him, Mr. Riley said, that both in dustries told him, Mr. Riley said, that both industries were in a se rious condition due to the threat-, ened shortage of sugar. The re finers promised, he added, that the supply would be available nt -a reasonable price. They express ed willingness to fill the orders of all essentia industries, but declared that the principal ob stacle was the lack of transpor tation facilities. The 34,000.000 pounds will b3 divided equally between the cau ners and preservers. Entry Notice, No. 2553. State of North C'arolin, Watauga County, Olllce of Entry Taker of suid County. M. H.
