While examining it, the granu­ lated carbon fell out. The stuff looked like gunpowder to the farmer, and be replaced it with that material. Then he called up Central to see if his tele­ phone would work. An electric spark set oflf the powder ard the experimental farmer was badly injured in the explo­ sion. This experience may be genuine, but it is much after the fashion of the little boy and the toy ba loon--wanted to see what it was made of. Son Lost Mother.

Frequently, and much oftener than yon think, subscribers telephone to the managers as follows: "I must com­ plain of my telephone. Why* Because my neighbors use it so much it is a posi­ tive nuisance. I can't refuse them without making enemies." Should this be so? Are you guilty? A telephone in your home costs five cents per day-- not much, is it? Far too little to bother yonr neighbor about. If the telephone is valuable to you in his house, it-is doubly valuable in your own home. It will cost you only five cents per day. Charab«rlnlii'n Pain Balm.

OF INTEREST TO HUNTERS. IllinoU Supreme Court Uarit Hunters tr«>m Submerged nnd River Land). Springfield, III., Oct. 25.--A decision affecting every banting and fishing club in the state and millions -of dollars of property was han Jed down by the Su preme court today, which held that owners of submerged land, even when the surface is navigable, are entitled to the sole right and privilege to bunt and fish thereon. The Appellate court sev­ eral months ago held that when land is overflowed so that the property lines are not distinguishable to the eyes, any one bad a right to enter thereon and hunt, provided the water was navigable. « The Supreme court completely upset this reasoning, and allows no one the right to either hunt or fish on even riv­ er waters without permission of the iwner of the abutting property. The case in w ich the decision was handed down was that of John A. Schnlte against Meredith Warren and others. Schulte is owner of 2,800 acres of submerged land in Mason county and nought to enjoin the appellees from bunting thereou. The trial court re fused to issue-an injunction, and the Appellate court of the Third district took the same view of the matter. Now the Supreme court reverses tbe judg­ ment of the lower courts and sends back tbe case with instructions to the trial court to issue in injunction to protect Schulte in bis property rights. Hunt­ ing and fishing clubs in tbe state, well as owuers of all property along the Illinois and other rivers and submerged lands, will be able to protect their re­ serves hereafter from encroachment, of outsiders as a result of tbe decision. In Time of Feaee. In the first months of the Russia-Japan war we had a striking example of the necessity for preparation and the early advantage of those who, so to speaks "have shingled their roofe in dry weathfr er." The viitne of preparation has made history and given to us our great est men. Tbe individual as well as the nation should be prepared for any emer* gency. Are you prepared to success* fully combat tbe first cold yon take? A cold can be cured much more quickly when treated as soon as it bas been con­ tracted and before it has become settled in the system. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of cold# and it should be kept at band ready for constant use. For sale by G. W. Besley.
