Tcgged Wild Goose Is Occasion for Revival Jack Miner, of Kingsville, Ont.’ who has become noted for his ability to tame wild geese, made the experiment of fastening metal tags to a large number of them before turning them loose to resume thelr migrations. - Thereby hangs an amusing tale. , _ A gray goose bearing one of his tags had been shot by some negroes in Mississippi. The negro who acquired this particular bird, it appears, was an illiterate preacher, possessed of great powers of speech. He Irsisted that the message came from heaven and made its receipt the occasion for a revival declaring to . his credulous flock: “This am the message of the. Lord, and now am the judgment coming.” Some of the Indian hunters who have shot the tagged geese in the Far North -have had a strange' superstition about them, insisting that they belonged to.the evil one, who had marked them as his own.

The result of Miner's experiments and observations may be summarized thus: ‘He has deflnitely proved that birds do return to the same haunt year after year; that kindness will overcome fear even in the wariest of feathered folk; that geese travel over the same route in migration at a speed of about.sixty miles an hour.—Albert F. Gilmore in the Christlan Science Monitor. , ' : Tibet Women Rule and Have Several Husbands

“In some “of the pincipalities in eastern Tibet,” sald Dr. Willlam Montgomery McGoovern, the latest and best authority upon the only real “hermit kingdom remaining on the face of the earth, *“the. rulers are women, and polyandry, which is practiced throughout the country, reaches: its greutesf heights, for some of them have their harews, as it were, but with a reverse English, because the inmates are men, who are never permitted to leave the place.” v -

The doctor visited Detroit recently to lecture on his experiences in reaching the forbidden city of Lhassa, the capital of Tibét, the forbidden country.” }

“Polyandry 1s- the practice, and wives have as many husbands as they apparently want. The country, curiously, is run by these married women, and the unmarried monks, for most of the worth while men joln the religious order. The dominance of women has apparently not caused any perceptible lowering of the moral or social standards, but naturally there is little, if any, of the home life spirit found in occidental countries.”—Jackson D. Haag in the Detroit News. Horseshoes Sold for Gaming Hardware dealers throughout the country are finding a ready sale for new horseshoes owing to the revival of the good old game of pitching horseshoes. Since the automobile came Into such popular use fewer old horseshoes were available for this popular pastime, and the result has been that the demand for shoes caused hardware and sporting goods dealers to stock new ones. A new magazine, the Horseshoes World, has nothing whatever to do with shoeing horses, and is devoted exclusively te the game, . . ‘

Floor of Pacific Still Rocks

Disturbances. at the bottom of the northern end of the Pacific ocean have not come to.an end, according to Captain John Newland, master of the steamer Latouche. These agitations have been evidenced in the past by the appearance and disappearance of islands. At a point 26 miles southeast of Cape St. Elias, where the chart sald there should be a depth of 1,100 fathoms, Captain Newland recently found only 15 fathoms. Cape St. Elias is the southern end of Kayak island, 150 miles east of Seward. -

Birthmarks Yield Radium

Birthmarks, even = the dark-red “strawberry” blotches which disfigure 80 many countenances, may be eradicated by radium, according to Dr. Lawrence R, Taussig of the University of California. -The eradication requires no great time and is not painful, Doctor Taussig asserts.—Popular Sclence Monthly. : :

Biggest Electric Light Bulb

The largest electric light bulb in the world was recently exhibited in East Orange, N. J., at the plant of the General Eleétric company. It is 22 inches high with a diameter of 15 Inches at the top. Thirty thousand watts were required to heat it.

Might Go Either Way

Anxious Old Lady (on river steamer)—l say, my good man, is this boat going up or down? Surly Deckhand—Well, she’s a leaky old tub, ma’am, so I shouldn’t wonder if she was going down. Then, again, her b’ilers ain’t none too good, so she might go up. .

Literary Conflagration

Two tourists, on passing a farm, saw a hay shed on fire, and the first man said, “John, of what three writers does that remind you?” “I don’t know.” = “Dickens, Howitt, Burns.” His Real Trouble . Robson—Now that you are living in the country I should think you would find it aggravating to hurry to catch your morning train. o Dobson—Oh, ne. llt's hurrying to miss it that I find aggravating.

ON PLAUSIBLE YOUNG MEN “Isn’t it dreadful about poor Mrs. Fuller, Aunt Emmy!” exclaimed Molly. “That company she bought those bonds in has failed and she has lost nearly every cent she had.” “Do you know how it happened?”: asked Aunt Emmy. “She got a letter from some so-called ‘investment house’ she knew nothing . about. She answered it and they sent a plausible young man to her and he persuaded her that the company he was selling. bonds for was a seventh wonder. The carelessness of some people is really criminal. Mrs, Fuller might have gone to her bank, asked for reliable information and saved her money. Any bank has or can get the facts about business concerns showing their condition. Had she bought bonds in a company that the facts showed - had been meeting its obligations for years, had a good surplus and good business prospects, she would not be in trouble today. In- - Bstead, she took the word of that plausible man who was either deceived himself, or who willfully deceived her, or at least was- not so much interested in protecting her as in selling bonds to her. :There is really very little excuse for the Mrs. Fullers of today because reliable information on financial matters may be had so easily.” - _ “If she. only hadn’t put so much money in those bonds!” commented sympathetic Molly. ' : ‘“That’s another thing it is unwise to do,” replied Aunt Emmy, *“lt is - always foolish to carry all your eggs in one basket. Now if she had put only part of her money in those bonds instcad of all she had, she could have stood the loss. As it is there is no telling what straits the poor little - woman has got herself into. Like every one else Mrs. Fuller was too greatly tempted by the promise of a high rate of interest on her investment, Her extreme ignorance of finance coupled with the desire for high interest caused all her trouble. “There are few things more dangerous than thinking you can do something you know nothing about as well as somebody who knows all about it. How foolish that sounds just to say it! Mrs. Fuller may be able to go to the butcher and because ~of her judgment of cuts of meat, get the very best and most for her money but that is no sign that she can judge securities. Buying -bonds is no difterent from buying meat. You simply must understand your subject. You must know how to select good bonds, and you must know when to sell and when to buy. The only way you can do this is to take the advice of some one whose business it is to study the bond market. Any bank large or small will gladly discuss investments - with its depositors. When you have learned enough to depend somewhat ~on your own judgment make your own decision as to what to buy,— then talk it over with your banker to make sure. Should he say, ‘Don’t buy,” abide by his decision.” “Mrs. Fuller’s case has taught me a lesson, Aunty,” said Molly, “I'll never take any chances like she did.” —ANNE B. AYMES, o

THE REWARD The individual banker should be much more than a mere lender of money, much more than a mere collector of interest. More than any man in his community, he has the opportunity to guide the farmer along lines of safe progress and toward substantial achievement. The banker in an agricultural district must know agriculture if he is to loan money to farmers and upon agricultural security. In addition to that, the banker is in touch with the activities of the business world. Me has correspondent banks in the larger cities; he must, of necessity for the protection of his own business, look beyond the horizon of his immediate viecinity in order to foresee imminent changes in business conditions. The banker has the opportunity to be the point of contact between the farmer and'th.esel many other activities of the business world with which the farmer’s business is so closely connected. The field is wide, the opportunity is great, the reward of confidence of one’s patrons and neighbors—gained by service in their behalf—is worth the effort.—Walter W. Head, President American Bankers Association. :

CO-OPS SELL ABILLION’S WORTH

According to the 1920 census figures, $721,983,639 worth of farm products was sold through co-operative marketing associations. The greatest growth in co-operative marketing has come since that time, so that it is safe to assume that much more than a billion dollars worth.of products are sold co-operatively at the present time. A general survey shows that the larger co-operatives in fruit are handling nearly $200,000,000 worth of business annually. The large scale milk co-operatives do a total business of about $150,000,000 annually, while the tebacco group is doing & combined business of more than $100,000,000 annually. The cotton group has also passed the $lOO, 000,000 mark. 5

Four Warren County, Illirois, banks have offered a total of $2OO in prizes for the beef cattle club in that county.
