KANGAROO as a Food.

Twenty or 80 years ago the back
country squatters, in order to destroy
kangaroos, used to dig huge pits at
the corners of their paddocks, running
yards of calico along their wire fences
and then drive the kangaroos into the
pits, clubbing and shooting them. In
those days kangaroo skins were of NO
value; now that they are almost ex-
tinct, there is a great demand for
them. The flesh of young kangaroo
is by no means, to be despised, and
kangaroo tail soup is delicacy now
hardly to be obtained.

"Drys" Undecided AS To Their Next
Move.
Rev. w. T. Amis of Hot Springs has
stated that the anti-saloon forces of
Arkansas had not definitely decided
yet as to what they would ask of the
next state legislature. He declared,
however, that it was very probable
that those forces would ask the legis-
lature for statewide prohibition,
either by statutory or constitutional
provision. Mr.. Amis stated that the
plank inserted in the Democratic plat
form, was, in a way, satisfactory, but
intimated that the anti-saloon forces
would advocate more prompt action
than suggested in the Democratic plat
form.
