‘Hetty The Heifer’ Successor To ‘Fefftthand The Bull’Song

Several months ago a new Amer- ( lean hero took his place in the limelight. His name was on the' lips of every person from the tiny j tot in the kincTergarten to the sei date, successful business man. A song was written about him. , A moving picture was made of him. Jokes were written about | . him Until today almost everyone I | from the highest cliques of society , to the lowest tenement sections | ■ knows and can tell about "Ferdin- | and the Bull.” The song. "Ferdinand the Bull.” telling of his great love for flow- | ers and his Intense dislike for fighting, today can be sung by practically every person in the! United States who is the least bit I interested in music. Black-browed, bushy-haired ar-1 tists of "tin pan alley” have rack- : od their supposedly fertile musical brains for a sequel to "Ferdinand the Bull" to keep his popularity I alive. It remained, however, for a popu- j I lar Decatur lady, whose life for j the past year or two has been that of a shut-in because of illness, to I I produce the first known lyrics of ’ 1 that sequel. Mrs. Esther Fullenkamp, wife of | Fred Fullenkamp. in her spare I time at the home on North Second street, learned to speed up j the slow moving clock hands in j developing a new love for "Ferd- ' inand the Bull." No longer, ac-1 cording to the lyrics of Mrs. Full- | enkamp. are the flowers "Ferdinand’s" greatest love. Guess who?, It is "Hetty the Heifer.”' |

annual national corn huskmg contest, telling that last year it was • held in South Dakota with one million in attendance. Chemists are kept busy each day Experimenting on the com grains , Tying to find another way to use the corn crop to an advantage; this | trust be done in order to consume tnis great crop. In the United States four new huge laboratories have I I teen built recently where chemists may delve into their work to a | I greater advantage. A typical bushel of corn contains approximately, I thirty-seven pounds of starch, five pounds of protein, two pounds of oil. two pounds of fibre and about ' four-fifths of a bushel of mineral I salts, the remainder of the pounds are water. The oil. protein and ash j offer promising fields for research.” : She told of the making of the meal., corn flour, breakfast foods and distilled liquors. Only time will , unfold the still more uses of the ;corn product. Rubber is a perfectly logical possibility if the chemists can unlock the secret. Various othI er uses already in process were ; described by Mrs. Christen. A business meeting followed, after which the hostess, assisted by I her daughter. Julia, and Mrs. Frank 1 Carroll served delicious refreshI I ments. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Frank Krick with ‘ Mrs. Homer Lower as leader with i "Seven Proud Women" as her topic i Members are also remained that the annual Guest Day dinner and pro- ' gram will be held in the Methodist church basement Tuesday. Febru- • ary twenty-first at six-thirty o'clock. SHAKESPEARE CLUB HAS REGULAR MEETING The Ladies’ Shakespeare club m ?t i with Mrs. Harry Moltz Wednesday ’ afternoon at her horns. After a s short business meeting Mrs. Noah ■ Frye read an interesting paper on, Forestry-The Oldest Tree." In her •'paper Mrs. Frye brought out the • needless destruction of the forests -lot the country. Twenty years ago ’ Theodore Roosevelt said, “the for- ■ est problem in many ways is the - mast vital internal problem before I, 1 tne American people today" Mrs. i Frye said, “that statement is just I as true today as it was then. It re- ■ quire i no gift of prophecy to tell f which way a man is headed who 1 spends five times his income; yet ' as far as our wood supply is con- ' cerned, we in this country are in the same position as that man.. ‘ "The Sequoia trees are the oldest ■ living things on eartit and are found of our Pacific coast. They are called the “Big Trees” and have lived for several thousand years! Old age and disease passed these trees by. A Sequoia's only enemy is the axe, lightning or fire, as the best groves of- -.he 'Big Trees are under the protection of the federal government and are in the section known as the ‘Sequoia National Park’.” The next meeting will be at the ’ iiome of Mrs. W. A. Lower with Mrs. S. D. Beavers as leader.

By some uncertain route the ' composition of Mrs. Fullenkamp ■ fell into the hands of a local newsI reporter, and hare it is. Now the j call goes out for a composer to | fit music to the lyrics: Gertie The Guernsey • GERTIE the Guernsey I want you to know Won many blue ribbons At the Chicago Stock Show GERTIE was shy With manners aloof She did not mingle With the bovine uncouth. She would sniff and she’d sigh , At all pasesr's-by; She wore velvet goloshes 1 To keep her feet dry. i One summdr day 1 There came to her pasture The Great Horticulturist FERDINAND . . . the Master. I Now GERTIE would moo—oo In a delicate way Her disposition changed To happy and gay; She would flutter her lashes Which were simply divine But GERTIE'S advances FERDINAND would decline. He was dreamily content To stand in the MUD Thought the day well spent To just chew his CUD! GERTIE . . . was sad To her it didn't occur That FERDIE gave his love j To HETTY the HEI-FER! —Esther Corbett Fullenkamp.
