Missouri Mystery Cleared Up.

Thousands of hogs in southeast
Missouri are fattening on a crop that
was planted II years ago-a crop OF
17-year locusts.
Since early spring the hogs OF the
farmers in this section have been get.
ting fat on something they found in
the woods, and each farmer secretly
wondered whose corn crib his pign
had found, for they came home each
night not squealing for their food. but
only to sleep; and every day they
brought home a layer OF bacon and
lard added to their once lean and
hungry bodies.
The rail splitters" OF South Mis-,
souri, and Arkansas were fast being
turned into prize Berkshires and
Polands by what or whom the farm
er did not know until few days ago,
when the woods were filled with the
song OF the 17.year locusts.-Kansas
City Journal.

COTTON WOOD TREES AND
THE hay FEVER

Despite the fact that hay fever is
usually charged up to the cottonwood
trees, hay fever is here this year as
usual and there is no cotton on the
trees as the late freeze of this spring
nipped the buds on most of the
trees. 1t looks very much now as
those advocating doing away with
cottonwoods will have to find some
other reason. While the cotton from
the trees is very unpleasant we admit,
1t is only for month or 30 and un-
less other quick growing and equally
as hardy trees can be obtained to re.
place them, we say lot the cotton
wood grow.

A Cmpful of Wind.

The origin of the phrase, "A capful
Of wind" can be traced to Morse
king, Eric VI, who died in GOT A. D.
He was credited with the useful power
of directing the wind to blow where he
wished by the simple method Of turn
ing his cap to that point of the COM
pass. His powers were much appreci-
ated and trusted and resulted In his
being known as "windy cap" There is
no evidence as to whether he could reg
ulate the force of the wind as well as
the direction. Presumably he could, or
his faithful believers would not have
been so many. A "bagful Of wind" is
another common expression and indi-
Gates something like gale This has
been traced down to the classical leg
end Of Aeolus and his captive winds
confined in bags.
