Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 73, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 April 1918 — Roast Armadillo. [ARTICLE]

Roast Armadillo.

The distress of w ar has caused us to eat many strange things. We are casting hungry looks at many an animal, that we have heretofore regarded with merely zoological Interest. For Instance, the armadillo. According to the San Antonio Light, the first wagon load of armadillos arrived on last Saturday at the Texan city and was immediately sold to ultimate consumers who found the meat of the armadillo, which suggests food a"bout as much as does 'a British tank, to be greatly like pork and entirely edible. - > This consumption or armadillo on the half-shell by San Antonians suggests a thought. Will a zoo eventually become a place where animals are kept in cages, not because the animals are wild, but to preserve them from the covetous tooth of man ? —Cincinnati Times Star. \\'
