WAGING WAR ON “VARMINTS”

Stockmen of Arkansas and Okiahoma Are Keeping Up a Campaign of Extermination, .

- Wolf steak Is at a discount in Yell county, Arkansas. : | Demand was brisk for a time on the part of one prospective customer and leading citizen, but, as facts lajer revealed, this was largely due to unbelief in the source of supply. The offering which was made was declared too tough for consumption. ‘Nevertheless, l the United States blological survey which purveyed the offered delluq.! inereased materially in the estimation of farmers and stock ralsers In the vieinity. e - The steak came from a wicked “varmint” which had heavy mdmmng,i records for the last five years. Ef- 1 forts of local hunters to kill this anlmal had failed, due to its cunning in ‘ eluding traps and abllity to keep out . of rmange of rifles. A tralned hunter and trapper was finally put on the trail by the government predatory animal Inspector for Oklahoma and Arkamsas, : One prominent stock ralser who had contributed to the luplne larder wax friendly but skeptical. *“You kill that wolf and I will eat a nice big steak from him,” was the way he expressed himself. The wolf was caught tn a skillfully set trap and brought In alive. Before being killed it was viewgd by a large number of residents, some of whom had been losers through its depredations, among them the skeptien! stockman who had been promisedd his order of wolf steak. After looking over the animal “on the hoof” he decided that the meat of such a bardened sinnes would be tough for enting. Instead, he offered his servfces in securing state co-operation with the predatory animal extermination work of the United States Department of Agriculture, S . Both Oklahoma and Arkansas are stlll considerably Infested with wolves, coyotes and hobeats, A successful campaign against the animals Is belng conducted by the biological survey In the western states. : Mutual ldea. In a cage full of monkeys, swinging by their talls, some of the younger monks indulge in their kind of callsthenies. The older-ones hang to the bars peeriug out into the faces of the crowd. Presently along come two—a sallowfaced, narrow-shouldered, hollow-chest-od young fellow embracing a painted and powdered female with penciled brows and tangerined hair, whose hips move synchronously In_ unconscious jazzéry, and whose jaws hammer a hunk of chewing gum with precise rhythm. ; » “Gee, Clarence, ain't monkeys funny?" she murmurs. ~ “They sure are, Guinevere,” he agrees, giggling. And as they pass on, Jocko the Monk turns to his hairy mate and exclaims: “Jerusalem, Mary, did you see what Just went by ?” : One of Life's Little Ironles, “Do you know what the hanging committee has done?” sald the first artist. ‘““They've absolutely rulned my plcture by putting it next to the worst daudb in the exhibition.” “I've got the same complaint,” sald the second artist. *“I looked in yesterday and I found they've hung my pleture beside an absolutely frightful thing” - 4 - “How do you do, you fellows?” sald Artist No. 8 joining them. “I see they've hung your pictures side by side this year.” ~ : Turf as Substitute for Cork. Turf submitted to-a patented chemfcal treatment is the substitute for cork of a German chemical factory.: The material {s stated to be, as firm, light and sound-proof as cork itself, and it has high resistance to dampness, being also of great value as an insulating product. Claimed to be in some respects even superior to cork, it is especially recommended as a substitute material that is likely to prove epecially tmportant for insulation and bullding purposes. ! : Neatly Worded Toast A, M. Sullivan used to tell a delightful story of a loyalist mayor in Ireland. Having occasion to propose the toast of Queen Vietoria at a local banquet, he sald: . “Gentlemen, I give you the toast of ‘Her Majesty the Queen." She is pop: ulous at home ; she is populous abroad ; she 1s populous with the 'peor; and, gentlemen, what is a truer test of good womanhood, she is populous In her family."—Chicago American, Knows His Habits. “If a man were murdered and hidden in his liquor cellar nobody would know where to look for him." “Some men might be disposed of that way, but I'm not one of them,” sald Mr. Bibbles. “If 1 were missing for any length of time that would be the first place Mrs. Bibbles would look for me."—Birmingham Age-Her-ald. : : < The Very ldea.

FOLLOWED EXAMPLE OF HOST

Tactful Visitor Had No Desire to Be “Called,” S 0 He Duly “Sarsed” His Coffee.

The 01l magnate, Mike Murphy, who passed away not long ago, was fortupate in the fact that his sons inherited thelr father's consummate ability, says the Philadelphia Ledger. One of them, John, tells this story of a recent visit to a certaln section of the country, where he was careful to do as the people 41d, and to conform with social usages as he found them.

At the table the venerable host poured coffee into a saucer. But the host's son drank it from a cup. That made the host angry. “Why don't you sarse your coffee?” he bellowed at the son. ;

. “It's all right this way, father,” answered the young man, mildly, “Son, if your eddication Is goln’' to make you reflect on your father I want to know it. I tells you, sarse your coffee!l”

Whereupon the dutiful son emptied the cup in the saucer, and, says Mr. Murphy, “I sarsed mine, too!” :

LEFT THE HONORS BALANCED

Coliege - President Had by No Means the Best of “Guessing” Contest , Which He Began,

The president of an Indlana college in a talk to teachers told them that many teachers did not wish to be recoguized as teachers, and In an effort to illustrate his. remark told the following experience be had: “l was travellng West last summer,” he sald, “and met on the traln an attractive young woman. In a cassml way I asked her where she taught school. She hastily replied: “‘Why, how -do you know that I teach school? " .

“Presently I sald: ‘What do you teach? I had simply guessed she was a teacher, and later found out that she was a teacher of romance languages In the East. In an effort to get even with me, I presume, she said: g ;

“‘And what do you suppose I took you for? " .

“'Well,' I sald, ‘1 really don’t know. What was {t?7" i

“‘An undertaker,’ she retorted.”

MAN OF OPTIMISTIC STRAIN

Millionaire Bought “Laundry” Instead of “Launch,” but He Refuses to Be Discouraged.

Millionalres are supposed to lean toward a philosophlc pessimism, but there is one who 1s evidently a genuine optimist. _ | He met a friend, and sald: “Come and see my new steam laundry.” ? The friend was somewhat sur prised. | “I didn’t know you went in for that sort of thing,” he sald. “I don't, as a rule,” replied the milHonaire. “I bought this one quite by mistake, It was the auctioneer's fault, I hadn't time to get a catalogue, and I thought he sald steam launch! So I nodded, and they ‘landed me with " : | That millionalre is going to make that laundry pay! : | Sliver Production Lags, | The world's production of silver In 1920, according to an estimate submitted to the international financial congress at Brussels, will fall short of the pre-war rate of production by fully 29,000,000 ounces, if not more. The estimate places 1920 probable output at 195,000,000 ounces. In 1918 the amount produced was 228 900,000 ounces. G. Findlay Shirras, director of, statistics to the government of India, who prepared the memorandum for the conference, holds that uncertainty which prevailed regarding the purchase in the United States of silver at §1 per ounce under the Pitt. man act and the flling off in China's demand may result in even a lower production than 195,000,000 ounces during the past year, -]

States’ Debts Increase.

In 81 of the 48 states the revenues exceeded the expenditures for governmental costs, including interest on Indebtedness and outlays for permanent improvements, by $50,192,314, or 716 cents per capita. In the remaining 17 the revenues fell below the expenditures by $15,378,246, or 43.8 cents per capita, and In five of these 17 states sufficlent revenues were not collected to meet current expenses and Interest. Taking the 48 states as a whole, the excess of reyenue over expendltures was $34814,088, or 83.1 cents per capita. These are among the interesting facts brought out in a report entitled “Financial Statistics of States, 1919,” issued by Director Sam L. Rogers of the bureau of the census, Departmeng of Commerce. B ' No Exaggeration. : “Look here,” said the irate bridegroom, “in your account of my wed‘ding - yesterday you sald I was launched on the stormy sea of matrimony."” , “That's correct,” replied the editor, quietly. : % “But I don’'t llke that. It doesn't sound right and I want you to make a retraction.™ : - “Young man, you married old man Jimpson's daughter, didn't you?’ “Qertainly.” “Well, I've known the girl longer than you have, and I knew her mother before her. You'll soon find out that ‘stormy seas’ is right.” : More Widows Than Widowers. According to the United States census of 1920, there are in this country at this time 8,170,000 widows and only 1,471,300 widowers. This indicates that the chances are, on the average, two to one that a man will pass away before his wife. The main reason for this condition of affairs is that the wife is generally several years younger than the hsuband, and then, too, at the ages above fifty the mortality rate for men is much higher than for women.—Bankers'. Life Bulletin, How to Save Money. : Two men recently entered a serveself restadrant and, after getting what they desired, took thelr seats at the same table. A patron seatéd near them overheard the following colloquy: “BIIL" said one, “T've just learned how to save money. I find the way to do it is to go in debt and pay It -out.” L ; “Humph,” sald Bill. “T've got you skinned a milee. I go In debt and never pay it out.” ; As It Sounded to Her. A little girl was asked, upon her return home, how she liked the singing _of the congregation In the church. “I llked it very much, :indeed,” she said, “although all the people said it was bad.” .“‘All the people sald it was bad.'

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED , " STOCK FYOObs

Prominent Hog Ralser Says Prices Charged Are Unwarranted —Makes His Own Hog Food, With Better : - Results

“That he is al! through paying fancy prices for stock foods and hog remedies and that L. 's raising some of the best hogs ever placed on the market” was the statement made recently by E. H. Beckstead, well 'known hog raiser and authority on live stock.

- Mr. Beckstead's hcgs are the envy of his neighbors, and have “topped the market” for several year In lowa. He states that for years he bought high-priced hog foods and hog remedies, but he is all through paying extravagant prices for what he can make himself. He states that what the hoge need are mincrals, and tells the secret of his wondrtul success by explaining that he takes about five pounds of ordinary mineraline (which is pure concentrated minerais and cost only a couple of dollars) and mixes same with enough bran or filler to make a hunidred pounds. All hogs, and especially brood sows require minerals as they keep them free from worms, and in the pink of condiiion, and are essential to the hogs growth and a well balanced ration. This inexpensive mixture placed in a sacltered bux where th: hogs can get at it as they need it, will produce far better results than any high priced so-called stock foods.

Send two dollars to The Mineralire Chemical Co., 1638 North Wells St Chicago, 111, and they will forward you by prepaid parcel post, enough mineraline to make a full hundred pounds. - - (Adv.) : , 4Shit
