Lieut. Apollo Soucek, the airman
who won an altitude record, said In
Los Angeles the other day:
"The cold, 30,000 feet up, is so ex
traordinary that when you tell peo

a liar. Yes, you feel like the farm

“ ‘The coldest day I ever seen,’ the
farmhand said, ‘was back home

PRECEDING EVENTS
Joe Barry, country youth tn
New York, ekes out a living as
caretaker in a poor rooming
house and accordion player in
Louie Bertolini’s restaurant.
Lured by the open country, he
spends a night in the fields, neg
lecting his duties. Next day Ber
tolini discharges him. A fre
quent visitor to Bertolini’s of
fers him SIO,OOO to impersonate
a "bootlegger" in trouble. It
means a penitentiary sentence
for Joe, and he hesitates. The
man, "Martin,” gives him SI,OOO
"on account."
CHAPTER I—Continued
—4—
“But I wouldn’t know what to do or
say. I’d have to give myself up and
say I’d done things that they could
prove I didn’t.”
“Don’t let that worry you. All you
have to do is to refuse to answer any
and all questions. That’s no difficult
job. Well,” he asked quickly, “do you
want that money? I’m handing you a
chance to trade a few years for a
good time all the rest of your life.
Think it over.”
“But—”
“Kid,” the man leaned closer. “That
word’s licked more men than all the
penitentiaries in the world. Can it
Look here,” he said, “I’ll give you to
night to think it over. Keep the
money. Come to Louie’s tomorrow at
noon if you’re going to be a welch er.
If not, get yourself on a morning train
and hop out of town for another good
time. Just look the country over and
see if it isn’t worth trading a few
years for. Got a pass-key, haven't
you? Give it to me; I’ll have the
chauffeur drop by and fix up the
place. Forget that part of it. Take a
day off. I’ll come to your room at ten
o'clock tomorrow night and get the
verdict. Nothing difficult about that,
is there?”
“No, sir."
"And while you’re out,” said Martin,
“I'd put most of that money tn some
small-town bank. Give me the name
of the bank tomorrow night and I'll
deposit the rest for you; four thou
sand more when you prove you're go
ing through with it and the other five
when you’re really on the way. Well,”
his tone had finality. “Nobody ever
got anywhere by hesitating.”
An hour later, Joe Barry stood
trembling in his gas-lit room. One
sweating hand was clasped about the
heavy roll of bills in his trousers
pocket. What was a few years to a
young fellow? A person had to get a
start in life somehow —better than
half starving—half starving and being
caged up here in the city, In a room
like this.
He counted the money for a second
and third time. He spread the cer
tificates out before him, one beside the
other, until they covered the entire
center of his bed. There would be
nine times this many more, put to his
credit wherever he should say. Ten
thousand dollars would buy a little
business, maybe a music store, and a
home in some small town. Start him
up in life where he could amount to
something! It might be the beginning
of a fortune.
After a long time, he counted the
bills again. Then he put them under
his pillow and tried to sleep.
CHAPTER II
Money had done its work by morn
ing. Symbol though it might be of
impending lack of freedom, ft now
held the lure of something exactly the
opposite. Joe Barry’s ideas of penal
institutions were based upon the small
Jail in Waverly where the incarcera
tions of the town drunk were more a
subject for laughter than anything
else; the county institutions he had
seen here and there, places to be
avoided, it is true, yet not imbued with
the formidable aspects which a
knowledge of a true prison can give
one. Dannemora, Sing Sing—these
were merely names, without anything
to aid in their picturization.
Such thoughts, however, were not
in Joe Barry’s mind in detail. He
only knew that he was going to lose
his identity for a few years in some
sort of an institution, and that he was
to be paid ten thousand dollars for
doing it. He could call one thousand
dollars his own, and there were nine
thousand dollars more to come. He
was rich 1
It was with this feeling of wealth,
bathing his brain with anesthetic un
guents, that he took an early train
out of the city. A day out of town;
to do as he pleased, with no thought
of anything except that he was
wealthy and free! Free from the
querulous demands of that dirty
lodging house on Third avenue, from
the invectives of Louie, the uncom
plimentary remarks of Fullhouse and
the apathy of diners, gobbling their
spaghetti.
Best of all, he was free from fear,
that gnawing sense of the ominous
which every country boy has in New
York, fear of traffic, fear of the noise,
fear of the friendlessness and cold
ness, fear of actual hunger when a
job has departed and days elapse be
fore a fellow can stumble into an
other one.
By noon, Joe had done many things.
He had traveled some eighty miles
THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA
from New York, Into Pennsylvania.
He had opened two savings accounts
of four hundred dollars each, told his
first lies and given his first alias;
something which he had found ex
tremely easy to accomplish. They had
not questioned his adopted name of
Joseph Bradley and his address of
Great Bend, Kan. His general air of
unsophistication had looked after that;
both banks had merely drawn a line
through the section of the new ac
count card calling for references.
Then he had asked innocently:
“Can't I just leave this book with
you? I’ll be away, and a friend of
mine is going to make some deposits
to my credit."
After that, he had gone forth to the
spending of a part of his remaining
two hundred dollars. There was the
barber shop, from its bath to a sham
poo and a massage. Then came a
clothing store. At last, everything
else purchased, a new Joe Barry, well
dressed, well-groomed, alert, the hard
lines gone from the corners of his
lips, paused in the fitting of a new
bat.
“I thought I heard band music,” he
said to the clerk.
The salesman looked at his watch,
then went to the door, leaning far out
“The parade,” he said on returning.
“Late as usual. Ever seen a circus
parade on time?”
Joe Barry heard only two words.
“Circus parade!” be said and
grinned. “Gee! A big circus?”
“Not so big. Dayton Brothers.
Pretty good—at least, It was last
year.”
Joe Barry saw the fag-end of the
parade. He could see menagerie cages
rocking along far ahead, with plumed
horses; a clown rode the line of march
upon a stilt bicycle; there were three
elephants, tail to trunk, and a calliope,
hooting forth a steamy footnote to
the procession. After Joe had eaten
his luncheon he went out to the circus
grounds.
Three hours later, he still was on
the show grounds, merely wandering
around. He had seen the big show,
and the sideshow twice. A starved
boy-man had found a feast in the
thing which had meant an acme of
happiness since his earliest memories.
He stopped to talk to canvasmen
and roughnecks, asking them where
the circus would go from here, and if
it was fun to be with a show like
this. He listened to the gruff roarings
of the animals in the menagerie tent,
and stared at the maze of stakes and
ropes, wondering how on earth they
managed to pick up everything when
they moved at night. At last, he
paused before a small tent, set apart
from the dressing tent proper, looking
down with sudden longing upon a
glittering thing which rested upon a
chair there.
“Gee!” he said at last. “It’s an
Iorio!”
After a time, he glanced about, like
a boy about to go under a fence to an
apple orchard. Then he leaned for
ward and touched it.
“Gee!” he said again.
It was the first time he ever had
seen one, outside of a music store
show window. He glanced about him,
then Impulsively picked up the instru
ment, merely holding it in playing
position without the strap over his
shoulders. Just to get the fee) of it,
and to run his fingers over the piano
keyboard and to tap the tiny mother
of-pearl protuberations which denoted
the “hundred and twenty base.”
Temptation was strong. At last he
yielded.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
Step* to Heaven
One of the prettiest legends con
cerning trees is that held by a tribe
inhabiting the Gulf coast of Aus
tralia who thinks that once a great
pine tree reached from heaven to
earth and by its means their ancestors
used to climb up and down between
the two regions. To complete the
story, it is related that a hawk which
had discovered the secret of tire-mak
ing, while disputing with another
hawk, set fire to the earth, thus de
stroying the tree. The people who
had climbed up to the sky had of
necessity to remain there. Crystals
were implanted in their bodies, and
the flashing of these by night causes
the light of the stars.
Ivanhoe and Ignace
One day David, whose mind tends
more to mechanics than it does to lit
erature, said to his mother:
“Who is this Ivanhoe I hear them
talking about?”
James, a few years old, overhearing
him, began to laugh and said: "A
great big boy like you and don't know
who Ivanhoe is.” x
“Huh,” said David, “you think you
are so smart. I'll bet you don’t know
who Ignace Boniface is.”
“Why, why,” stammered James, “I
think he is a writer.”
“No,” said his brother, “he isn't. He
is a colored boy in my class at school.”
Barley Hardiest of Cereals
Barley, the hardiest of all cereals,
can be grown through a greater range
of climate than any other. Its produc
tion dates from the most ancient times
when it was used principally as an
article of food. The production of bar
ley ranks third among the cereal crops
of the Dominion in acreage and total
yield.—Canadian News Bulletin

POULTRY
CURTAINS FOR HEN
HOUSE NOT COSTLY
Use Commercial Feed Sacks
for Purpose.
Fairly good storm curtains can be
made of commercial feed sacks. Nail
enough sacks to cover the space to a
board at the top of the window. Then
nail another board at the bottom of
the sacks. Then the lower board can
be rolled up and fastened to the top
with a loop of baling wire.
When a poultry house Is not
equipped with a modern ventilating
system, the use of cloth curtains
keeps out the rain and snow and
holds In the heat in zero weather.
When the bright warm sunshine ap
pears, the curtains can be raised to
permit the hens to absorb as much
sunlight as possible. The large
amount of fresh air which can be al
lowed to enter through the open front
helps to keep the walls and litter dry
and makes healthful conditions for
the hens.
The closed front and the modern
ventilating system is undoubtedly best
for the poultry, but many farm poul
try owners have houses of the old
type with plenty of glass windows and
no means of ventilation. Constant at
tention and a few cloth curtains may
improve the conditions in such houses.
In many cases, funds for the remod
eling of a farm poultry house are not
available. The financial cost of im
provements must often be close t'o
zero so that cash funds can be used
for taxes and necessary living ex
penses.—Michigan Farmer.
Ultra-Violet Rays and
Cod-Liver Oil Advised
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)—WNU Service.
Irradiation with ultra-violet rays, as
well us feeding cod-liver oil, improves
the general condition of hens deprived
of sunlight and green feed and pro
motes egg production. Exposure to
sunlight is equally beneficial and is
easier and much cheaper throughout
most of the year. All three treatments
supply vitamin D, and anti-rachetic
vitimin that facilitates the assimilation
of calcium and phosphorus in the hen’s
body, thus developing bone and shell.
Tests with 90 Rhode Island Red pul
lets at the United States Department
of Agriculture experiment farm, Belts
ville, Md., showed that both irradia
: tion with ultra-violet rays and admin
istration of cod-liver oil as supple
ments to an ordinary diet for birds
confined without access to sunlight or
green feed increased egg production
and thickness of egg shells. Each of
these vitamin supplements also tended
to give heavier eggs and to improve
the hatchability of the eggs. The cod
liver oil had a marked effect on the
live weight of the birds, but the ir
radiation did not.
i
Room for the Hens
The usual amount of room suggested
for chickens of the light breeds is 3
to 3% square feet of floor space per
hen and for the heavy breeds, 4 square
feet pf floor space. Where this amount
is not available there are three alter
natives: Construct a new house; re
work the present house so as to make
it larger, remodel some other building ’
and equip it for the chickens; or cull '
both hens and pullets more rigidly, not
keeping more than the present hous- i
ing facilities will care for. —Oklahoma I
Farmer-Stockman.
Leg Weakness
When chicks wobble about and lose ।
control of their legs it Is almost too
late to make real good pullets from [
them. Leg weakness should be pre- j
vented by getting chicks out into the [
direct rays of the sun as early as pos- !
slble and as much as possible. Where
chicks are confined and do not have
sunshine, there must be 1 per cent of
fortified cod-liver in the mash.
Green fed is a real help. There are
electric light bulbs which give off
enough ultra violet rays to prevent leg
weakness. — Oklahoma Farmer-Stock
man.
Poultry Hints
Poor land Is being pastured to a
larger extent and not seeded to wheat.
* • •
Keep poultry housed constantly in
winter. Don't let them run on warm
days.
* • •
Do not set an incubator in a stuffy
room. Good ventilation Is absolutely
necessary to obtain the desired re- .
suits.
» « •
The hen of today lays as many as
300 eggs in a year, in contrast, to about
26 eggs laid by her distant jungle an
cestors.
• • •
A good chick ration is one that con
tains mash, scratch grain, minerals,
green feed, direct sunlight or cod
liver oil and milk.
♦ • •
To clean soiled eggs use a knife oi
steel wool to remove the greater part
of the dirt. Then wipe the eggs clean
with a damp cloth. Washed eggs do
not keep well.
ODD “INDUSTRIES”
IN BRITISH ISLES
Almost under the shadow of West
minster cathedral is a narrow thor
oughfare called Strutton ground, and
here you will find an Armenian who
claims to be the only outdoor re
pairer of timepieces in London and
perhaps in England. He will mend
your watch while you wait, says a
writer in Pearson’s Weekly.
“Bottler of smoke” is surely one
of the oldest of professions, yet in
the census returns we find one per
son who so describes himself. The
smoke comes from hickory logs and
no doubt is used for the curing of
bacon. Less puzzling is the indus
try of collecting walrus whiskers,
which has only one follower in the
British isles. These walrus whiskers
go to the East, where wealthy Chin
ese prize them as toothpicks.
There are two lighthouse builders
in England, but only one man who
sells his skin for a living. This
man, formerly a mechanic, saw one
day an advertisement asking for a
healthy subject who would consent
to sell a portion of his skin to be
grafted on the face of a rich man's
child who had been badly burned.
He got two hundred pounds for his
trouble and has since been in hos
pitals in various parts of the world
on similar missions.
