.|S AN OSTRICH
 A VEGETABLE {?
If Not He Must Be an Ami nal and as Reptiles Are Animals an Ostrich Must Be a Snake; Some Odd Conclusions

The staff of The Republican has been embarra ssed by receipt of a letter from Thomas W. Kemp which suggests a line of thouCht that leads up a blind alley encing with an insurmountable wall. MT Kemp is an expert ostrich breeder at one time a resident of this valley but now managing an ostri ,il farm near E' Paso. A short time lgo mention was made of an ostrich egg breakfast to which he treated a ndn- Der of friends. He now tells of q chicken ostrich Glnner with which ha regaled Lis friends. serving the young bird fricassed and braized
 The chick that occupied the place of honor had the misfortune to be ban with a crippled foot so it had to go to the knife, for they only keep perfect cpeci- mems for breeding. It was in 10 sense diseased and it was butchered and cleaned in the most sanitary manner so there was no hesitancy in serving it Some controversy arose as to the flaw or of the meat but the prevailing opin- ion was that it resembled veal with a suggestion of game
 This was not the only suggestion either and therein lies the emharrass- ment. MT. Kemp says that one of the guests was Dr. Carpenter, a local eye and ear specialist and during the din- ner there was revival of an old ques- ton among naturalists, as to whether the ostrich is the connecting link be- tween the reptile and the animal" The first suggestion is that owing to a somewhat popular prejudice against reptiles it is likely that those who are fond of ostrich chicken will suffer a mental affront if it be determined that an ostrich is a species of snake. Any how Dr Carpenter took the head of Mir. Kemp's bird for later and careful examination. to discover if possible what he had been eating and determ- inc whether he wanted any more of it.
 The next suggestion is philologica1 and it is that which has led to em- barrassment in The Republican office. It is commonly understood that all life except vegetable life is classified as belonging to the animal kingdom. It would therefore seem that whether an

REAL ESTATE
LAND SALES AND
Frequent Inquiries From Far and Near. Concerning Valleys Re-
 sources are Being Made.

The United States Land, Title and Legacy Co has been in the real estate game this week with very satisfactory results. A house and lot at 1638 West Monroe St was sold to Mir B. J. Jarrett for $3, 800. C. D. Mccoy purchased an other house ip the Capital Addition foI s3400.
 Numerous exchanges and sales have been made in lots about the city and next week several deals which are now pending will be clos ed. The following are some of the sales of this week: NE.A Of NV. A, Sec. II. PM E. to Mr. F. Bray. Also the N.W.A of N.W.A Of same Sec. of township, to Florence P. Bray, of Tennessee. This land is three miles west of Glendale.
 MT. Henry says: The outlook is the best I have ever seen here in the last six years and the property is moving remarkably we'll for the summer months. If the inquiries are the same at the other real es tate offices, there will be more peo- pie here next fall than ever before. During last year the firm of H.

ostrich be reptile or not he must be an animal, but if he is not an animal he must be vegetable. whether he be a reptile or not, for certainly he repre- sents a pretty husky form of life or ganlsm when he gets mad or scared
 Now If 1t be admitted that the os- trich is 2 bird as has been quite com monly assumed by many, to what class of animals. eff he is an animaD does he belong, as distinguishing him from reptile which is also an animal He Is of course q vertebrated biped. but so is a man and surely an ostrich is not man even though a man may be an ostrich and some of them are "gooses," (not geese, for no man can be a geese) and only a woman is cal led "Ducky'
 Returning again to the assumption that an ostrich is a bird, the study of him is ornithological investigation, just as the study of a snake is the pursuit of reptilian lore. But here is the rub. The pursuit of reptilian lore is the study of reptiles, wherefore the pursuit of omithological lore is the study of-what? ArnitholO- gists? That cannot be for they are the fellows that do the studying and they are Vertebrated bipeds just as the ostriches are. Rats! Seems like somebody ought to make a word.

ADVERTISING MEN OF LOS ANGELES
A Talking Over of Matters at lun

There was a luncheon in Los An geles the other day of the Advertising Mems club at which Charles A. Stauf fer, the business manager of The Re
 publican, was a guest Of the meeting the Tribune of that city says: Seventy five members of the Los Angeles Advertising Mems club and a number of invited guests attended the regular weekly luncheon meeting at Christopeher's yesterday.
 Routine business was briefly dis cussed by the members before the first speaker of the day, Charles A. Stauf- fer business manager of the Arizona
 Republican, of Phoenix, Arizona, was introduced by Frederick w. Johanect' chairman of the day. MT. Staufter briefly outlined the advertising pos abilities in Arizona generally and Tn Phoenix particularly, remarking that the time quickly is coming when Phoenix and Los Angeles would be ! more closely linked together with com mercial ties.

seems to be to forget it and take up another phase of MT. Kemp's letter, He says he read recently in a maga : zine that some Phoenix ostrich grow CT is experimenting on the production of an all-White ostrich. He says he cannot conceive of any practical use for such a bird. Cor is it reptile or vegetable?) but it would at least be an interesting freak and if such an experiment is in progress he would like to get in touch with the person making it and secure any possible in formation in the premises.
