Whales for Food.


If the European and American peo-
pie could be educated to the point of
eating canned flesh of animals which
individually yield as much as 10000
pounds of meat, what wonderful food
supply would be within reach of the
poor ir our great cities In Japan this
has actually been accomplished, and
hundreds of tons of whale flesh are
sold in the markets of all the large
towns and villages to people who would
otherwise have little variety to their
diet of rice and fish.
This great meat supply has been put
into their hands indirectly by Nor
wegian, for it was not until 1864, when
Swend Foyn invented the harpoon gun,
that whales could be taken in such Il
manner as to allow any parts except
the oil and baleen (the ''whalebone' of
commerce) to be utilized
Few people realized the great part
which whale meat plays in the life of
the ordinary Japanese. Too poor to
buy beef, their diet would include little
but rice. fish, and vegetables. were it
not for the great supply of flesh and
blubber furnished by these huge water
mammals In winter the meat of the

esteemed. sometimes brings as much as

A little lapse of memory at tax pay
ing time has resulted in a failure on
the part of Shawnee county to collect

Now the county threatens TO levy
