An old authority tells that the easiest
way to capture apes is for the hunter
to pretend to shave himself. then to wash
his face, fill the basin with q sort of bird

RECOMMENDS FISH PONDS.
Following the Lead Of a New York
State Expert,

From the Topeka (Kan.) Capital.
II Prof. Dyche succeeds in convincing
the farmers Of the state. or a large part
of them who have the requisite facilities
at hand. that a fish pond on their prem
ises will be of quite as much value to
them and their neighbors as many of
their varied enterprises, his services as
state fish and game commissioner will be
Of untold value to the people of the
commonwealth.
AS Prof Dyche so well said in an inter-
view with him the other day: '"rhe ex-
istence OF well stocked ponds all over the
state would be of immense food value to
the people," How true such condition
Of affairs would be Of the present day,
fancy figures? Most people are fond Of
fish IL they can get hold Of any. It's nu-
tritive qualities are great. and it is a
most welcome change from a more or
less steady diet Of meat.
There are no indications that the price
of meat will ever be much lower in this
country than it now is. The chances are
it will keep getting higher and higher. So
II Prof. Dyche's suggestions in this re-
gard are followed it will not be many
years before the people of Kansas can
practice considerable household economy
by calling on their fish ponds to make
material and satisfying additions to their
food supply.
No reason exists. either. why such ponds
should not be sources of considerable
revenue to their owners. The number of
fish that will live and thrive in a small
body Of water is surprisingly large. In
the course of few years after the estab-
lishment Of one of them. the yield of fish
that would be ready for the frying pan or
the oven would be much larger than any
one family could use, regardless of it's
size. The surplus would Ind a ready
market in the immediate neighborhood Of
the pond at prices that would more than
recompense the owner for all of b's trou-
BILE in keeping it up.
Prof. Dyche has pointed out another
way in which Kansas can take the lead
and show the other states Of the nation
desirable path to follow. It rests with
her people whether or not they take ad-
vantage Of 1t. II they do not they will
only be taking considerable slice off
their own noses.

method of manipulation is simple in the
extreme. II the electric light cord is too
long all that needs to be done is to take
UP whatever slack there is over the de-

side of the slack. Even q child could
regulate the length of the cord by this
type Of take-up. 1t is understood, of

Slack Take-up Can Be Attached to

A decided Improvement over the old

light cords is that designed by a Massa-
chusetts man. The primary advantage OF
the new type Of grip is that it can be at

whereas the old style take-up needed to
be attached before the lamp was on. The

Corporation Laws.

One of the most convenient
manuals ever issued from the

The Smith Brooks Printing Co.
of Denver. 1t is entitled Colorado
Corporations" and is a digest of
corporation laws of the state by r.
S. Morrison and E. ID. De Soto.
authors of the well-known volume
entitled "Morrison's Mining
Rights"
The laws of Colorado relating to
corporations have been enacted at
various times, and for the purpose
of meeting conditions as they
arose. Naturally they are more or
less obscure and inconsistent, if
not actually conflicting, Even
lawyers find some difficulty in
interpreting them, and the ordinary
business man will be at sea if he
undertakes to draw up his papers
and do his business by consulting
the revised statutes. In this little
volume the law is stated SO plainly
and simply that any ordinary lay
man can find out how to form a
company, draw up its articles of
incorporation, and conduct its
business, without further advice.
The book will be indispensable
to attorneys, by reason of the col
lation of court decisions The in
terpretation of the law is as i'm
portant as its enactment. and this
book gives the acts and the court
decisions together, SO that the
exact effect of any particular law
is at once evident. 1t is most
valuable handbook. The retail
price is 50.
