NAVY EMBLEM ON
"KIPONA" MEDALS
rContinued From First Page]
I—
retary V. Grant Forrer sent a design
to a New York firm with instructions
to wire whether or not the medal can
he made up in time. If this design
can't be adopted this year because of
the lack of time for preparation it will
be made the permanent medallion for
ether years.
The loving cup which will be pre
sented by the Navy to the ginning
crew of the big Central-Technical-
Steelton high-Academy war canoe race
will also be adorned with a facsimile
of the organization insignia. The cup
Will be the only collective prize award
ed as it has been practically decided
because of the low water to eliminate
the motorboat race.
While the war canoe contest will be
the feature race, a whole lot of spe
cialties will be arranged. These will
include aqua-planning an event
which permits the entrant to stear
himself more or less precariously on
a surfboard or plank which is at
tached to a motorboat and towed
through the water at high speed. An
obstacle canoe race In which the con
testants must do all manner of things
enroute to the tape—climb over flats
with his canoe, pull his canoe over
floating logs, these are a few of things
he must do; a race in which three men
standing will paddle a canoe with dou
ble paddles is another event; tub, um
brella races and tilting matches will
complete the feature program. Then
there will be 100-yard swims for boys,
girls and for men over 16; quarter
mile canoe race for men, half mile
canoe race for men, and mixed crews;
quarter mile swim for boys for which
medals will be awarded. In the other
ievents suitcases, umbrellas canoe pad
dles, back rests, cushions, cameras,
fountain pens and similar articles will
ibe awarded as prizes.

LUCKY NUMBER
13, SAYS FARMER
California Agriculturist Tells
How Mystic Numeral
Stuck to Him
Live Oaks. Cal.—No matter how
other people may feel about the num
ber 13, Howard Grimes, of Douglas
county, Oregon, considers it a messen
ger of good luck, rather than a har
binger of evil.
Grimes was In Live Oaks recently on
his way to Davis, where, although he
is 64 years of age, he will take a
course in agriculture.
On the back of his auto hung Its
license, No. 1313. When reminded of
its hoodoo proclivities the Oregonian
smiled and volunteered a bit of his
tory.
J "I was born on September 13, 1862,"
! said he, "and was the thirteenth child
lin the family brood. When 13 years
old 1 left home to make my fortune.
| At 20 I married, and our wedding fell
jon the 13th of the month.
J "While riding a Northern Pacific train
j in 1912 I was in berth 13, and the train
| was wrecked. Every occupant in that
car was injured but myself. In 1913 I
made a little investment in mining
property and cleared up $16,000. I took
the money and purchased 1,300 acres of
and, and I am farming a part of it
and learning how to farm it better."

HERE'S A SURE ROAD TO WEALTH
In the September American Maga
zine a writer in the family money
department says:
"There is one sure road to wealth.
It is not a get-rich-quick scheme, no
wild-cat mining venture, no 'war
baby' speculation; it is simply a com
monsense way of attaining a small
fortune in a strictly legitimate way.
"One dollar deposited in a savings
bank each week for twenty years
would amount to $1,612.
"Five dollars deposited each week
for the same length of time would
become SB,OOO. The interest on this
SB,OOO would be $6 a week. Anyone
following out this plan of weekly de
posits of $5 for twenty years could
at the end of that period draw out of
the bank $6 each week as long as he
lived and still leave to his wife and
family at his death not only all he
deposited but half as much more.
"The young man of twenty who will
save 27% cents a day in a savings
bank paying 4 per cent, compound in
terest, and keep up these payments
or deposits till he is seventy years of
age would have a fortune of $29,000,
which would pay Interest of $22 a
week. This interest would be about
ten times the amount saved each
week." *
EXTKR THE LADY REPORTER
"Jack" Lait, whom James Keeley,
editor of the Chicago Herald calls "the
human X-R&y," writes about women
reporters in the September issue of
the American Magazine. He says:
" 'Brother inmates, the star report
er has been a viper in our bosoms. We
have made him somebody, and he has
turned out a bloomer because he can
not live up to our specifications in the
sordid realism of daily life on the live
daily. I propose, therefore, that we
create a character, a character who
does not exist, and cannot, therefore,
arise to do a Frankenstein. I nomi
nate without fear of successful contra
diction—'

'Hear, hear!'

Snake Strikes Coat Tail,
Fang Poisons Man Later
Wellsboro, Pa., Aug. 17.—Oliver D.
Spencer, caretaker for cottages n the
Pine Creek gorge, was "bitten" by a
rattlesnake in a manner that has no
parallel. Cottagers had seen a snake
between the Owassi clubhouse and the
spring on the side hill on numerous
occasions, but it seemed especially
elusive. A reward of $2.50 had been
placed on the serpent's heac}.
Spencer was on his way to the
spring to get water and passed a
stump close to the beaten path on
which the snake lay coiled. He didn't
notice it, but he did see something
coming his way, and sidestepped just
in time to avoid the blow. The snake
hit the tail of his coat, dropped to
the ground, and Spencer earned the
reward with some well-directed blows.
Spencer returned to the cottage
with his trophy, and as he raised his
coat tails to sit down to breakfast his
thumb came in contact with a portion
of a fang of the snake which had
been broken off.
The fang penetrated the thumb and
there was enough poison on it to
inoculate Spencer. He became deathly
sick, and his arm swelled badly. He
received immediate, however, and will
recover. He has kept the broken fang
of the snake and the hole in his coat
where it was broken off to help sub
stantiate the tale.

Raises 1,300 Chickens
and Thieves Get Them
Alexandria, Ind., Aug. 17.—"1
raised more than 1,300 chickens this
year," said Cleve Walker, a young
farmer living in the Olive branch
i neighborhood, "but I don't think I
shall ever embark in the chicken busi
ness again in my life."
Walker added that out of the 1,300
chickens, about forty have been sold
and all but fifty stolen. All of the
thefts have been on nights he was
attending meetings of a lodge. Thre£
hundred fowls were taken on the last
occasion.
