In Streiegan, Silesia, accord.ng to the British papers, the cat population diminished to seventy-seven when the tax gathered made his rounds. On the other hand, there has been an alarming increase in rats and mice, so alarming that several towns have decided to abolish the cat tax. mmmmintmmnmmimimmniiittmt Local and Personal it DR. LIEBKNECHT IN GERMANY NOW (By Associated Press.) Berlin, Feb. 26. (In line with sim ilar steps that have been taken since the arrest - and double conviction of Dr. Carl Liebknecht on the charge of attempted treason, division I, II, and III of the superior court of Berlin have debarred him from practicing before them. The step follows his exclusion from the bar association. A RUT AND A GRAVE The finest thing that any commu nity, any county can have is the vis ion of its best opportunities and possibilities, and the ambition and determination to make them come true, and a community that hasn't such a vision is .n a rut. And there is no difference between a rut and a grave except the size B. F. Har ris, in The Progressive Farmer. STRENGTH OF A BEETLE One day a native servant brought me a longicorn beetle which he was .carrying by its feelers, while the beetle was carrying a stone weighing nearly half a pound. (But how the feelers could stand the strain (the beetle was carried in this fashion for about forty yards) and how the legs could retain their hold of a heavy stone which they could not encompass I cannot conceive. The length of the beetle was two and one fourth inches, its feelers three Inches and it weighed one-fourth ounce only, while the stone weighed seven and one-fourth ounces, measured three and one-fourth by two and one half inches and was seven inches in circumference Serampors Bengard Letter.

The remainder of the sum raised, which amounts to $2, 045.17 Is to be used by the State Red Cross Seal Commission for fight ing tuberculosis here in North Caro lina According to a letter from the National Association to Doctor Mc Brayer, the sale of seals for 1916 in the United States amounted to $1, 000,000, which was an increase of 30 percent oved the sales of the year before.

It was this kind of bottle that was referred to in the Bible In the much-quoted dictum re- ating to putting new wine into old bottles. The objection to this pro cedure was that the skin of an old bottle has become fully stretched and weakened by use, and if new wine was put into it the pressure of the gases generated by the continued fer mentation of the wine would burst the bottle It is a generally accepted fact that glassmaking and glass bottles origi nated among the Egyptians, although at what date no one has presumed to state.

Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard; President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell; President Ben- aminc- Ide Wlheeler of the University of California; Chancellor David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford and George WViarton Pepper of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Jordan was the only dissenter against military training. i There's no need to be undecided like this man he's wondering what to specify and use on his new house. Some tell him lead and oil are the right painting materials. Others say zinc is the only thing. We say decide right now with the millions of others to use Sherwin-Williams PAINT, PREPARED because it's the proper combination of pure lead, pure zinc and pure linseed oil. Tests prove this to be true you can prove it without taking chances on inferior paints. We're agents also for complete line of Sher win - Williams Paints, Varnishes, Stains and Enamels. Abernethy Hwde. Co. "KIDDY-KAR" FOR ARMY iSome interest'ng experiments were made recently by Captain Frank E. Evans, of the United States Marine Corps, with a view towards establish ing the practicability of a small motorcycle recently designed by a well-known inventor. A privajte eqippeid ii heavy marching order tried out the ma ch'ne. says Popular Science Monthly. Ke had had no previous experience with automobiles or motorcycles. Yet his success in operating it has led to the belief that it would be a welcome addition to the fighting equipment of our soldiers. The machine will carry as much as 300 pounds and attain a speed of twenty-five m les an hour, although its weight is but fifty pounds It takes hills easily. Private Davis, who tried it out, found no difficulty in ascending a fourteen-degree iri ;line. !The machine is so small that it will turn around corners w'thout danger, it is also so light that it may be lifted over any ordinary obstacle. One of the tests consisted in riding it, up to a four-foot fence, stopping the! engine and lifting the machine over! the fench, all of which was done with very little delay. The d mensions of the little machine are forty-eight inches by nine inch- .es by eighteen inches. It is small enough to be a plaything. Yet it will carry 300 pounds for fifty miles at an operating expense of ten cents NOTICE OF SUMMONS In the Superior Court before the Clerk. North Carolina, Catawba County. Z B.
